Chapter Seventy-Two: The Rectification of the Buddha City
After receiving the note written by Gongzi Qi, Lord Chengyang of the county walked out of the back door and secretly rushed to the teahouse. Lord Cheng Yang stood outside this gate, walked upstairs, and saw Gongzi Qi sitting at the desk in front of the window, and then walked forward and knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." At this time, Lord Chengyang's mood was so excited. Gongzi Qi finally came to Focheng, the county lieutenant can settle his grievances, and the grievances on his body are finally about to be cleared, how can he not be excited at this time?
Gongzi Qi got up and stepped forward to help Lord Cheng Yang of the county, and the two looked at each other. Gongzi Qi stretched out his hand and asked Lord Chengyang of the county to sit down first, and then he sat down. Gongzi Qi looked at the county Cheng Yang: "Lord Yang, why don't you see the county Wei'an?" ”
Lord Chengyang of the county got up and knelt in front of Gongzi Qi, and said, "Your Majesty is guilty, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him." ”
"What happened in the city of Buddha? Please also ask Lord Yang to get up and sit down and speak slowly. ”
The county man did not get up, knelt in front of Gongzi Qi and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower official killed the county lieutenant An and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the crime." ”
"What's going on? Please also ask Lord Yang to make it clear, I will not kill a good person in vain, but I will never let go of a bad person," Gongzi Qi was shocked after hearing this, which made Gongzi Qi not believe it at all, believing that there must be a hidden secret.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the county lieutenant has the evidence of the crimes of some officials such as the county commander Feng Yong, and the county commander Feng Yong wants to kill people and destroy his mouth, and at this time, the county lieutenant An Daren went to the Xiaguan Mansion and asked the subordinate to kill himself, so as to gain the trust of the county magistrate Feng Yong. Before arriving at Xiaguan's mansion, the county lieutenant prepared two account books, one of which presented the account book and the head of the county lieutenant to the county commander Feng Yong, and the other was hidden in the arms of the lower official, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Where's the ledger?"
The county took out the account book from his bosom and carried it on. Gongzi Qi took the account book in the hands of the county Cheng, helped the county Chengyang to sit opposite him, and called for tea. Gongzi Qi sat opposite the county Chengyang and looked at the ledger quietly, clenched his fist and hit the desk, at this time, the county Chengyang who was sitting opposite was suddenly startled and looked at Gongziqi. At this time, Gongzi Qi couldn't wait to enter the county hall as soon as possible to punish their crimes, but he couldn't be in a hurry, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he eased the anger in his heart and said, "I don't know how Lingling is?" ”
"Miss Ling is sick, it may be caused by fatigue, His Royal Highness the Prince, you should go and see Miss Ling first, and any arrangements will be made by the lower officials."
"Okay, you go and call the county magistrate and his state pastor to the county government hall to discuss matters, just say that this matter is an urgent matter and cannot be delayed, if they ask, they will say that I am about to arrive in Buddha City, ready to meet the ceremony, now the county magistrate Feng Yong's most trusted person is you, and you will not be suspicious, and after they arrive at the county government hall, they will secretly send officials to raid the county government and the state governor's mansion, this is the prince's edict." Gongzi Qi handed over the token to the hands of the county Cheng.
"Okay, the next official will do it immediately."
After arranging this matter, Gongzi Qi got up and said goodbye to each other, walked out of the teahouse, and walked towards Miss Ling's door. Seeing that the door had been opened and the entourage had entered, Miss Ling's father was sitting on a stool boiling soup, raised his head to look at Gongzi Qi who was standing in front of him, and immediately got up and knelt down and said, "Too... ”
Gongzi Qi sighed and helped up Miss Ling's father, and said, "Don't tell Lingling yet, uncle, I'll boil the medicine, you go to rest first." ”
Miss Ling's father stood aside, and Gongzi Qi sat by the fire, holding bamboo tubes in both hands and blowing the extinguished fire, and the smoke was billowing and smoking, so that he could not open his eyes, and tears flowed. Gongzi Qi stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, wiped away the tears beside his eyes, and continued to hold the bamboo tube to blow at the furnace hole, the sparks slowly floated in the furnace hole, the fire finally rose, and the decoction in the medicine jar began to boil. Childe Kai went into the kitchen and took out the porcelain bowl and poured the soup from the medicine jar into the bowl.
"Lingling, get up and drink the medicine," Gongzi Qi walked to Miss Ling's bed with the decoction, and Miss Ling sat up and looked at Gongzi Qi standing in front of her bed, "Childe." ”
"Come, drink the medicine first, I'll feed you," Gongzi Qi put the bowl on her dressing table, sat next to her and helped Miss Ling up, stretched out a hand to take the soup medicine, picked it up with a soup spoon, gently blew away the hot air and carefully sent it to Miss Ling's mouth, and said, "Come, drink the medicine quickly." ”
"If you don't drink it, it's so bitter."
"Don't drink it, who told you not to take care of your body, if you don't drink medicine when you're sick, that's okay, drink the medicine and your illness will be fine."
"In the future, take care of your body and not get sick, can you not drink medicine?" Miss Ling made a very aggrieved appearance and complained bitterly in front of Gongzi Qi.
"No, drink it quickly, good."
"Hehe, if you're not good, you're not good," Miss Ling laughed a few times at this time and looked at Gongzi Qidao.
"Is the medicine so bitter," Gongzi Qi brought the decoction to his mouth and drank it, "It's not bitter, it's not bitter at all, and there is a hint of sweetness in it." ”
"I don't like sweet, you like it, you drink it all," Miss Ling was so naughty at this time, and she was a little teasing and teasing to Gongzi Qi. Gongzi Qi put the decoction on the dressing table, and said a little angrily: "Okay, if you are so disobedient, I will not care about you in the future." Miss Ling looked at Gongzi Qi who was sitting next to the bed, saw that his face was smoked by black smoke into a big face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm good, the monkey has worked hard, I drink medicine." From Miss Ling's eyes, you can see her love for Gongzi Qi, and she can't bear to see Gongzi Qi working so hard, and her eyes are constantly rolling.
Gongzi Qi picked up the decoction again, took the decoction and blew the heat to dissipate the air first, and then sent it to Miss Ling's mouth, Miss Ling looked at Gongzi Qi and drank the decoction, and slowly drank the soup in the bowl until it was finished. Gongzi Qi said very carefully: "Have a good rest." Help Miss Ling to lie on the bed and cover the quilt. Miss Ling was lying on the bed and kept looking at Gongzi Qi, who smiled and said, "Close your eyes." ”
"I can't sleep."
"Don't think about anything, close your eyes quietly, and fall asleep after a while."
At this time, Miss Ling was so well-behaved that she closed her eyes quietly. Gongzi Qi watched Miss Ling walk out and rushed to the county hall, standing in front of the gate of the hall and looking up, the magistrates of Focheng County walked out of the gate to greet him, knelt in front of Gongzi Qi and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up," Gongzi Qi's sudden arrival made the county order and the state pastor stay in place, I don't know why, such a hurry prompted them to have no time to prepare, and followed Gongzi Qi to sit on both sides. Gongzi Qi walked in and looked at the county magistrate and the state pastor on both sides, and slowly walked up to the lobby and sat in front of the desk.
Not long after, many onlookers surrounded the gate of the county government, and the prince at this time said: "Lord County Commander, Lord State Shepherd, can you be guilty?" Gongzi Qi sat on the court and moved his gaze to the two adults, the county magistrate and the state pastor.
"The subordinate officer doesn't know what crime he committed?" The two adults, the county magistrate and the state pastor, stepped forward and knelt down.
"This ledger records the list of the silver taels you embezzled and the officials who took bribes, as well as your state pastor, you are also one of them, you should take a good look," Gongzi Qi held up the ledger and threw it out. At this time, the county commander Feng Yong was stunned, stretched out his trembling hands and knelt with the state pastor to look at the account, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the county lieutenant An Guofu who is framing the lower official." ”
"I didn't say the county lieutenant, how do you know it's the county lieutenant?"
"Could it be the ghost of the county lieutenant?" The county magistrate was stunned, and the state pastor knelt on the side and was already speechless.
"Lord County Commander, you are so ashamed to put this crime on the body of the dead county lieutenant An, you forced him to death before his death, did you not let him go after he died? Wait a while and you'll be convinced. ”
The county lieutenant walked in and stood above the lobby and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the county magistrate's mansion, and the state minister's mansion have been inspected. The county lieutenant knelt in the lobby and presented the book, Gongzi Qi walked down the hall and took the booklet in the county lieutenant's hand and opened it to watch. These corrupt officials who were beaten with lightning speed were caught off guard and made them speechless, which stunned them, and the county magistrate and the state pastor knelt limply in the lobby.
An old man squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers and rushed into the lobby, saying, "Dog officer, you also have today." Kneeling in the lobby and looking at the Gongzi Qi who was sitting in front of him at the desk, he said: "My lord, the county order Feng burned the old slave's daughter alive on the altar with today's method, the old slave's daughter is only eighteen years old, how can she be a demon?" Please Lord Qingtian to be the master of the grass people. ”
It's shocking for the old man to say this in the lobby! Gongzi Qi stood up and angrily pointed at the county commander Feng Yong and said: "The well-dressed beast has put on your human skin in vain, and someone is coming, drag out Feng Yong, who is not as good as this pig and dog, and execute Ling Chi." ”
"Prince, spare your life."
"Drag it out," Gongzi Qi's sleeves waved, and the guards on both sides stood up and dragged the county commander Feng Yong out of the county government hall and escorted him to Ling Chi in Xishi. After a while, the anger in his heart calmed down a little, and he stepped forward to help the old man sit aside, at this time, the state pastor knelt in front of Gongzi Qi, his hands were constantly trembling, and Gongzi Qi looked down at the state pastor and said: "Escort the state pastor to the capital to be convicted." ”
At this time, Gongsun Yin had escaped from the county government, but when the officers and soldiers entered the search, they pounced, Gongzi Qi ordered the magistrates of Focheng to search and arrest the whole city, and strictly check the pedestrians entering and leaving Focheng, and not let go of any suspicious person. Gongsun Yin, who escaped, ruined his appearance, only then the officers and soldiers who searched for him would not recognize him. In the dead of night, he secretly walked out and hid in the depths of the dark wall, and when the watchman passed by, he secretly followed him, knocked the person unconscious behind him, and tied him to a wooden stake in the mountain temple. The watchman woke up for the first time and saw that the person in front of him was not like a human or a ghost, holding a dagger in his hand and slowly approaching.
"Are you a human or a ghost, what are you doing with me?"
Gongsun Yin just laughed a few hoarsely, slowly approaching to scrape off this person's skin little by little, hearing this scream is really chilling! Stick the bloody skin scraped off on his face, this is the legendary human skin mask, and from then on, Gongsun Yin Yirong changed his name, called Yin Sheng, and fled out of the Buddha City.
