During the period when the crown prince Wu Geng was in charge of the country, he reused talents and released the imprisoned Jizi, and Yin Shang had the image of revival, but this was only a flash in the pan.

When the bright moon was in the sky, two people walked out of the moonlit night, wearing black cloaks, very mysterious, and were stopped by two guards guarding the door of the Tianzi prison, and said, "Who are you?" One of them stepped forward and took off his cloak, and when the guard saw it, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness the Prince."

"Lead the way ahead," the prince put on his cloak and walked into the prison. It was very dark in the Tianzi prison, there were red lanterns on both sides to illuminate it, and I heard the sound of dripping water, and the road it walked on was wet, and when it stepped on it, there were countless droplets of water, and the cells on both sides were full of condemned prisoners, and they stretched out their hands and said: "My lord, I am wronged, wronged!" The men in the cell stretched out their hands and kept shouting.

In one of the cells, it was very quiet, and the coop sat on a straw mat. A cell boss stood at the door of the cell, took down a bunch of keys, and the two black-cloaked people standing behind him entered. Jizi looked at the two of them, shook his head, and said, "It seems that my limit is approaching, let's say, when will the execution be carried out?"

The prince took off his cloak, looked at the haggard face in front of him, and said, "Uncle Wang." Then kneel. Jizi hurriedly helped the prince up and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it, you are the current crown prince, how can the future king kneel to a sinner?" Torment me. ”

"Uncle Wang is not guilty," and then called a jailer to remove the shackles for the basket. At this time, the jailer hesitated a little, and the prince Wu Geng looked at the jailer standing on the side and said, "What are you still hesitating about?" Remove the shackles for Uncle Wang. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Jizi is a key criminal in the king's custody, and his subordinates are also acting on orders, unless there is the king's will, his subordinates dare to let him go."

"This is the imperial edict, the prince's edict, Uncle Wang is not guilty, if there is any fault by me, it will not harm you and your wife and children."

"Don't be a prince, if the king blames you, I'm afraid it will affect your crown princeship," Miko stood aside and persuaded.

"Uncle Wang, you are the younger brother of your father and the uncle of your nephew, and now that Yin Shang is in danger, those who are capable of the Storm need a virtuous minister like you to assist." It was only at the prince's repeated invitations that he decided to be released from prison and assisted the prince in governing Yin Shang. That night, the wind and rain were combined, the prince Wu Geng was in the palace study is difficult to sleep and eat, the Chaoge drought for three years, and finally the sky rains, the blessing of the people, but in some places around the song, it is a great drought weather, the people are hungry, hungry all over the wilderness. The crown prince Wu Geng was anxious after seeing these recitals, and summoned Wang Shu Bigan, Jizi, Wei Ziqi and others into the palace overnight. The confinement doctor Fei Zhong is in the mansion, and there are heavy guards outside the mansion, and no one in the Fei Mansion is allowed to go out without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. It seems that Wu Geng has just started to investigate Fei Zhong as soon as he begins to supervise the country. Fei Zhong was confined in the mansion and sat in the hall all day, at this time the hall was very quiet, no one went in and out, and said to himself: "What I didn't expect was that the prince would take me as soon as he took office, maybe this is my life, it seems that I Fei Zhong is going to die here," and now Fei Zhong is also helpless.

"Master, there are heavy soldiers guarding the gate of the house, we can't get out, it seems that the prince is going to kill everything," At this time, a noble lady walked in, maybe this noble lady was Fei Zhong's wife, and there were four or five children next to her, crying non-stop, disturbing Fei Zhong's quiet, and yelling: "What are you crying for?" I'm not dead yet, I'm crying! ”

"What are you yelling at the child? The child did not offend you either," and the children cried even more violently, and the noble lady called a maid to take the child away, and said, "The prince wants to kill us, what do you think we should do?"

"Now I'm just like you, I can't get out, the prince is so quick that I was caught off guard," after finishing speaking, he sighed again, looked out of the hall, and said: "Now I only hope that the king can triumph as soon as possible, and we will be saved when the king returns."

Cheng Bigan, Jizi, Wei Ziqi and others gathered in Tai** and sat in front of the desks on both sides. The crown prince Wu Geng sat on it, looked at the music in his hand, looked at these princes, and said: "I saw these music chapters, the three years of drought in Chaoge, the farmland was affected, and the people were born in the fire of water and life. I have been thinking about one thing, for this drought, the imperial court has allocated disaster relief funds and ordered local officials to open warehouses to release grain to help the people through the disaster year, why has not the problem been fundamentally solved, here is my uncle, who of you can relieve the doubts in my heart. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the extravagance of officials is prevalent, and the upward and downward effects are effective, which is the root cause of Yin Shang's disease, we must eliminate bad habits from the root, rectify the rule of officials, and eliminate corruption. According to Ren Bozuo, a student of Lao Chen, local officials embezzled disaster relief funds for their own enjoyment, and the other part bribed some senior officials in the DPRK in order to ensure their own official prosperity, and those upright local officials were suppressed and excluded. Therefore, the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court were squandered in the hands of these corrupt officials, and were not distributed to the people. Cheng Bigan sat aside and looked at the crown prince Wu Gengdao. Cheng was a loyal minister who was outspoken and dared to speak out, which laid the groundwork for his later disasters.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's talk about this place first, the shelter is in charge of the demon queen's brother Su Wan, the assistant of the wizard Gongsun Leopard, and a local official said that Su Wan was deeply loved by the people when he managed the shelter, and the people were grateful to him, and his political achievements were outstanding, and the king had the intention to promote him as the candidate of the Great Sect Division, according to the minister, this Su Wan was a swinger who had nothing to do, saying that he had outstanding political achievements, but the minister did not believe it, and the drought in the shelter was the most serious. Brother Wang Weiziqi made his debut.

Then Jizi stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the demon queen Su Daji has cultivated her own strength after poisoning the Jiang queen, and in a year's time, Fei Zhong in the court, the magistrate Su Wan and his sorcerer Gongsun Leopard, etc., are so intertwined that their strength is so great that they must dig up her roots to shake this big tree, and the investigation of the shelter can be used to cut off the wings of the demon queen Su Daji, and cut off its roots to eliminate the hidden dangers of Yin Shang."

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and appointing Ren Bo as a chacha qincha, checking the shelter, and finding out these corrupt officials."

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the scorching sun was scorching and the earth was smoking. In an open area there is a high altar. The national teacher Gongsun Leopard led the sorcerers to practice on the altar, the people stood around and watched, they were all yellow and thin, there were many officers and soldiers standing next to them, a slight breeze blew, colorful flags fluttered, and then hundreds of slaves were escorted, walking along this stone steps, standing on the high altar. The slaves, bound with ropes all over, stood under the scorching sun, seventy and eight in age, fifteen and sixteen in young, and behind them the sorcerer raised his hands and shouted, "Sacrifice to the sun god." There are dozens of tree stumps on the altar, and the guards walked out and pressed the heads of these slaves on the stakes in batches, raised the axe and fell, and cut off their heads, which stained the altar with blood, which was inhumane, and then placed these severed heads on the altar, Su Wan and the officials sat on the sidelines and watched and talked and laughed.

It was late at night, deserted streets, and occasionally a few people walked through the silent streets, and the wind howled and swept up the dust. In the sky above, a head swept by, with a disheveled head, a grimace, and a green face with fangs, very mad. These people looked up at the heads that passed over, and they were really frightened, one sat on the ground limply, and the other ran away, shouting, "There are ghosts, there are ghosts." In an official mansion, the servant knocked on the door of the master's study with a bowl of tea and walked in slowly. It was very dark in the study, and there was no light, and he shouted: "Master Ren, Master Ren," no one answered, and muttered: "This Master Ren, why don't you light the lamp?" took out flints and flints collided with each other, sparks ignited the copper lamp next to them, only to find that Master Ren was lying motionless on the desk. The servant stepped forward and shouted, "Master Ren, the tea you drank is here, Master Ren, Master Ren." This old man Ren lay motionless on the desk, the servant felt wrong, stretched out his fingers to touch his nostrils, this old man Ren had long been out of breath, the servant was suddenly startled, rushed backwards, stumbled and got up and ran to the government to report the case.

At dawn, Su Wan led the officials and their national teacher Gongsun Leopard into the place where the crime occurred, that is, Master Ren's study, stood next to Master Ren's body, and looked at the national teacher Gongsun Leopard next to him, and the national teacher Gongsun Leopard sighed: "Ren Bo is a member of the imperial court, let's dispose of the body first, and then come to investigate the cause of Ren Bo's death." The next day, the servant died in an unknown manner, and the local officials issued an official document saying, "Ren Bo was poisoned by his subordinates, and the servant committed suicide in prison." ”

The next day, the court received an official letter from the local government, and the crown prince Wu Geng was shocked, walked up to the main hall to face the ministers, and said: "Qin sent Ren Bo was poisoned by the subordinates around him, and his subordinates committed suicide in prison in fear of crime, everyone come to discuss," this sound caused an uproar in the court.

Uncle Wang Bigan stood up and bowed and saluted: "Prince, the minister feels that Ren Bo's death is a little strange, the day before yesterday, the minister sent Ren Bo, a student of the minister, to investigate the shelter, and just arrived here and died in the official residence the next day, and it is necessary to send a competent official to the shelter to find something to gain."

"Prime Minister, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, I'll go." After that, Wang Shubigan withdrew from the court, returned to the prime minister's mansion, packed up some salutes and went to shelter, and these disciples of his came to see him off. One of the disciples stepped forward and said, "Sir, let the students go with you, so that they can have something to see."

"Okay, Shu Tong and I will go to the shelter with me." Then, the disciple Shu Tong first asked Wang Shubi to get into the car, and then he got into the car and sat aside. After getting into the car, Uncle Wang looked at the disciples behind him and said, "Everyone, please go back." The disciples chased after the chariot and shouted, "Sir go early and return early." Uncle Wang nodded and drove away, heading to the shelter. Enter Yuncheng, but they don't want to be too ostentatious, park the car outside Yuncheng, and they and their disciple Shu Dong mixed into the people who entered Yuncheng, there are many refugees in the city, the people here are hungry, business is withering, yellow sand is flying all over the sky, they go all the way, white bones, occasionally hungry dogs to grab food. The refugees sat on both sides of the street, with broken begging bowls beside them, their faces yellow and thin. From among these refugees came a tearing cry. Bigan and his disciples walked over, a woman sat on the ground and held a ** starved to death in the arms of an old woman, and the helpless eyes of others revealed a sense of sadness. At this time, the guards rushed out of the city to drive away these refugees, as if they were clearing the streets, it seems that there is a big official who is going to pass here, they don't care about the life or death of the people, and it is a whip for these slow-moving refugees. Bigan and Shu Dong walked away among the refugees, standing on both sides of the street and kneeling with the people, it was not easy to raise their heads. A pair of chariots and horses drove through the middle of the street, and their guard of honor was comparable to that of a prince. The high-ranking officials sat on the carriage, and the soldiers in front of them carried the prey they had hunted, and it turned out that they had returned to the city from hunting.

"Who are these? Such arrogance," Uncle Wang asked the people kneeling beside him.

"Sir, you must have come from out of town."

"We came from Chaoge, and we don't know anything about the situation here."

"Yuncheng has two evils, one of which is the marquis of Su Wan, and the second is the national teacher Sun Leopard, these two people are flying high, our people hate them, I heard that the marquis of Qing is still the younger brother of the queen's mother, and he was enshrined by the king, and there was an official who came to investigate last time, this is a good official, since we inquired about their evil deeds, but they died in the official residence arranged by them in less than a day, you say it's not strange."

After listening to what others said, Uncle Wang was furious, and said to the student Shu Tong: "We can go to see the official." They got up and walked towards the official mansion, stood at the gate of the official mansion, and were stopped by the two officers and soldiers guarding the door, and said, "Why did you meet the marquis?"

Uncle Wang Bigan took out the prime minister's big seal and said, "Take this big seal to your family, and your family will know it when you see it."
