Not long after the Ministry of Rites convicted Mu Fu of a great crime, the officials of the Ministry of Officials found Kou Ji's door.

The officials wanted Kou Ji to take action and beat the water dogs together.

Kou Ji thought about it for a long time and rejected the proposal of the officials.

The six ministries are now the real power yamen, and they will deal with Mufu together, which is a bit too much to look up to Mufu.

The shogunate was just a merchant family, not a family of eunuchs, and there were people in the court who were high-ranking officials.

Although Kou Ji did not agree to the proposal of the officials of the ministry, in order to prevent the officials from departing from morality, he ordered the officials of the ministry to go to Mufu and confiscated the qualifications of the imperial merchants of Mufu.

After the officials left, Kou Ji sat on the chair in the side hall and muttered to himself, "How could Mu Chong do such a stupid thing at this juncture?" ”

Mu Chong is not the kind of stupid and hopeless person, he often messes with some people in the officialdom, and he still has the political sense he should have.

He shouldn't have come into contact with the Western Xia at this juncture when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were fighting for him.

Kou Ji looked puzzled.

In the evening.

The servants of the Kou Mansion hurriedly appeared in the backyard of the Kou Mansion and announced to Kou Ji, "Young Master, Young Master Liu Heng has arrived......

"Liu Heng?"

Kou Ji was a little surprised, "Invite him to the side hall to talk." ”

The servant of the Kou Mansion walked out of the side hall and led Liu Heng, who had the air of a dusty servant, into the side hall of the Kou Mansion.

As soon as Liu Heng saw Kou Ji, his face was very heavy and said, "Mu Chong lost his ......."

Kou Ji was stunned.

Liu Heng gritted his teeth and continued: "Mu Chong's son, Murong, also lost his ......"

The stunned look on Kou Ji's face was even greater, he stared at Liu Heng, and said in disbelief: "You are openly and secretly, how can so many people stare at the people of Mufu, how can you lose people?"

The Criminal Department and the Military Department led 3,000 soldiers and horses to surround Mufu.

The people of Mufu still have the ability to compete with the elite of the 3,000 forbidden army? ”

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "When the Criminal Department and the Military Department led the men and horses to surround Mu Mansion, Mu Chong and Murong had already been lost. ”

Kou Ji's face sank, "You lost it?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head, "It is Wu Desi who is staring at the people in the Mu Mansion in Bianjing City, and Cao Tong and I are staring at the people of the Yizi Jiaozipu and the Mu Mansion in Shuzhong." ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "The people of Wudesi have lost Murong and his son...... It's really ......."

Koji didn't know what to say.

Although the Wu De Division was founded not long ago, all of them were experts from the Imperial City Division.

With so many experts staring at Mufu, he was able to lose two big living people, and Kou Ji didn't know how to evaluate it.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, stared at Liu Heng and said, "Is there anything abnormal in the Meng Mansion?" ”

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "After we found out that Mu Chong's father and son were lost, we immediately took people to the Meng Mansion. Meng Weizhong didn't lose it, but we met an unexpected person in Meng Mansion. ”

"Who?!"

Kou Ji asked.

Liu Heng said with a solemn face: "Respectful ...... from a high place"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Gao Di Gong got the Meng family's share of the Yizi shop?" ”

Liu Heng nodded solemnly and said, "We have already controlled the people of the Meng Mansion, but the part of the Jiaozi shop has fallen into the hands of Gao Di Gong. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said: "If it weren't for Xixia's sudden intervention and the competition for the one word Jiaozi shop, it wouldn't have ended so quickly." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and asked, "How do the officials view these two things?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head and said with a bitter face: "I just came back from Shuzhong, and before I could go to the palace to restore my life, the official family sent Chen Duzhi to give me an order and let me take someone to Mengfu. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "The traces of Mu Chong's father and son, can you check them?" ”

Liu Heng nodded and said, "It has been checked, and there is no trace of their father and son leaving Bianjing City." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and then pondered: "You mean, their father and son are still in Bianjing City?" ”

Liu Heng nodded slowly: "There are some inferences, but it is not easy to confirm." ”

Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng suspiciously, "What's the difficulty?" ”

Liu Heng sighed and said, "There are some places where our people can't get in. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, his voice was slightly cold: "Xixia Post House?!" ”

Liu Heng nodded and said, "Mu Chong had contact with the Western Xia people before he disappeared. We were at the fourth gate of Bianjing City, and there was no trace of Mu Chong's father and son leaving. Therefore, it is very likely that Mu Chong's father and son were privately hidden by the Western Xia people. ”

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said, "How can you confirm that Mu Chong's father and son did not leave Bianjing City?" There are more than four roads that can leave Bianjing. If there were only four gates, Xia Zhu would not have fled Bianjing City on the night of the Eight Kings Rebellion. ”

Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said: "It's because of the example of Xia Zhu in front of you, so wherever someone can go out in Bianjing City, there are spies from the Imperial City Division." Some people couldn't go out, but the small holes and paths that could pass through the walls of the city walls were also tightly blocked by us.

I took someone to do it myself, and nothing will go wrong. ”

After a pause, Liu Heng also added, "In the process, we also caught nearly 1,000 abductors who abducted and sold babies in the waterway. ”

Kou Ji groaned, "I can naturally trust you to do things. Since you are sure that Mu Chong and his son did not leave Bianjing City, it is really possible that Mu Chong and his son are hiding in the Xixia Post House. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and ordered, "You send someone to keep an eye on the Xixia Post House." I went to the palace to see the official's house. ”

Liu Heng nodded.

The two of them left the Koufu Courtyard together.

He mounted his horse and entered the city.

After entering the city, Liu Heng went in the direction where the Imperial City Division was located, and Kou Ji rode his horse to the gate of the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he jumped off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the soldiers guarding the Jinshui Bridge, flashed his waist card, and entered the palace.

As soon as Kou Ji entered the palace, he bumped into Chen Lin, who was about to summon him.

Chen Lin's face was very ugly, and after seeing Kou Ji, he didn't say much to greet, and opened his mouth and said, "Yongguo Gong, the official family has summoned you to meet in the Shishitang." ”

Kou Ji nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "The official family is in a bad mood?" ”

Chen Lin looked bitter and did not speak.

Zhao Zhen made such a big mistake in the first layout, or did the eagle dog under him make a mistake, can he be in a good mood?

Chen Lin silently took Kou Ji all the way to the Shishitang.

As soon as Kou Ji entered the capital hall, he saw Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian, sitting in the hall with ugly faces, hanging their heads, and not saying a word.

"Ministers and Kou Ji see the official family......"

"Don't be polite......"

"I've seen Lu Xiang, I've seen Wang Xiang......"

"Don't be polite......"

Zhao Zhen saw Kou Ji, who had lost his enthusiasm and looked worried.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng frowned, and they were also preoccupied.

Seeing this, Kou Ji groaned slightly, and then said with a smile: "What's wrong with the three of you?" It's like a frosted Kunlun purple melon? ”

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and didn't say a word, just sighed deeply.

Lu Yijian glanced at Kou Ji and didn't speak.

On the contrary, Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji and said with a little complaint: "When is it, do you still have the heart to laugh?" ”

"What, when?"

Kou Ji pretended to be surprised, "The Western Xia and Liao allied forces have come over?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji helplessly.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Qi all glared at Kou Ji.

Wang Zeng said angrily: "If the Western Xia and Liao allied forces come over, can we still sit here quietly?" ”

Kou Ji said curiously: "Since it wasn't the Western Xia and Liao coalition forces that came over, then what do you have to worry about?" The official family is the first person in the world, and the two of you are also under one person and above ten thousand.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there are still things that can stop the three of you? ”

Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said, "Do you know about Mufu?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "I've heard a little." ”

Wang Zeng glared and said, "Mu Chong's father and son are missing, and it is very likely that they are hiding in the Xixia Post House. ”

Kou Ji pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then said very naturally: "Then what are you waiting for, send someone to surround the Xixia Post House, and search carefully." ”

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng were slightly stunned, and then they all frowned.

Lu Yijian said unhappily: "If we forcibly surround the Xixia Post House today, then the Xixia people will definitely wronged us." In the future, it is indispensable to oppose our Great Song. ”

Kou Ji said with some amusement: "If we don't force the Xixia Post House today, the Xixia people won't be right with us?" As far as I know, my Great Song Dynasty has treated the envoys of the Western Xia Dynasty for many years, but the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty have not suffered any courtesy when they arrived in the Western Xia.

In addition, my Great Song Dynasty has always treated the Western Xia with courtesy, but the Western Xia has never stopped opposing my Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, whether Xixia is against my Great Song Dynasty or not has nothing to do with courtesy. ”

Lu Yijian opened his mouth, stunned and unable to say a word from Kou Ji.

Kou Ji continued with some reluctance: "My Great Song Dynasty has treated Western Xia for many years, and I have not exchanged it for a loyal follower of Western Xia. In that case, why should we treat them with courtesy?

Moreover, my Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and I no longer need to bow to anyone, nor do I need to follow the weaker Western Xia than us.

Today we sent troops to besiege the Xixia Post House, what can the Xixia do with my Great Song?

If Xixia is not convinced, just fight with us.

Today's Western Xia, compared with Qingtang, is rarely inferior.

Qingtang is still respectful to my Great Song and obedient to my Great Song.

Why did Xixia argue with my Great Song? ”

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng listened to Kou Ji's words, and their eyes narrowed in stunned.

They felt that Kou Ji's words were arrogant.

But it's very uplifting.

I have treated my subordinates for many years, and I have not received sincere refuge from my subordinates.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was reluctant to use swords and soldiers, so he was false with them.

Now that you can use the sword soldiers, why are you still polite to them?

I'm not a small character.

The only one in the world who can be superior to my Great Song Sect is the Liao State.

Others, what qualifications do you have to argue with Da Song?

Xixia likes to shout, but after being taught twice, do you think they still shout?

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng thought a lot in an instant.

Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng were a little moved.

But Lu Yijian frowned.

Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "It is easy to besiege the Xixia Post House, but I am afraid that the part of the Jiaozi shop has fallen into the hands of the Xixia people. If we get into a fight with Xixia, it will not be so easy to get back the share of the shop. ”

"Hahaha......"

Koji laughed, laughing loudly.

Lu Yijian glared and scolded, "What are you laughing at?!" What's so funny? ”

Kou Ji laughed loudly and said, "Because Lu Xiang, you told a particularly nice joke." The Tangut people don't pay attention to the rules, and they meddle in the affairs of my Great Song Dynasty at will, so why do we still talk to the Tangut people about the rules.

They took a share of the Jiaozi shop and gave it to them. ”

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji in confusion, waiting for the following.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The imperial court admits that only those who are part of the word Jiaozi shop can be regarded as a part. If the court does not recognize it, the part of the word Jiaozi shop is a piece of waste paper.

So, what's the use of them getting a share of the shop?

And can not participate in the management of the shop, nor can it participate in the dividends of the shop.

So what they have in their hands is still a part? ”

When Zhao Zhen and the three of them heard this, their expressions were different.

Wang Zeng's cheeks blushed slightly: "I am a big country, and I will be looked down upon if I act as a scoundrel." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Will we be looked down upon, in the fist, not in the etiquette." Etiquette is what we use to entertain friends. To deal with those jackals, you can only talk about fists.

Before we taught the Tanguts, what attitude did the Tangut people have towards us?

After we have taught the Tangut a lesson, what is the attitude of the Tangut people towards us? ”

Zhao Zhen and the three were silent.

Kou Ji asked and replied to himself: "Before we taught the Western Xia, the Western Xia didn't pay any attention to my Great Song Dynasty, and only thought about taking benefits from my Great Song Dynasty. This is true not only of Western Xia, but also of other genera.

After we taught the Western Xia a lesson, the Western Xia paid a lot of respect to my Great Song Dynasty, and the New Year's gifts were five or six times richer than in previous years.
