Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 36 Evidence

This news really shocked the two of them!

Because the mighty dart bureau can be called the most powerful dart bureau in Jingguo, the mighty dart bureau is not only because it is the largest gang in the southeast of Jingguo, but more importantly, the mighty dart bureau is also in charge of the transportation of officials of all sizes in the southeast, as well as the sale of taxes from all over the southeast coast to Chang'an.

But why can this mighty dart bureau be involved in two kinds of trading: temples and rivers and lakes?

This still has to start with the destruction of Dongyue.

That year, the two prefectures of Qingyang were just included in the territory of Jingguo, because of the reasons that had just been pacified, so every time the local government of Qingyang and Yangzhou needed to hand over excerpts to Jingli, or the grain and silver that needed to be sent to Beijing after collecting taxes, they would be intercepted by the remnants of the Dongyue Party on the road.

Not a single living mouth was left, and all the grain and silver were surrendered, and as for the book, it was used as a prelude to the burning of the dead.

For a time, the officials of Qingyang and Yangyang jointly appealed, and specially dispatched the military team to send the news to Chang'an.

I hope that the capital can give a solution, otherwise these people don't want to be officials here, and they are afraid that one day these people will rush directly to their own house.

Just when the imperial court was preparing to raise troops to suppress it, this mighty dart bureau was born in the air, and it appeared at the right time, as if it was to help these officials under the rule of Qingyang and Yangzhou.

Even Wang Shichang appeared as if out of thin air, he had never heard of this person's name on the rivers and lakes before, and he appeared as abruptly as the mighty dart game.

This person took the initiative to make a promise in the yamen, and also handed a letter to Song Hong, who was far away in Chang'an and had just been crowned a military marquis, and wrote that Wang Shichang would soon bring all the twists and turns of Yangzhou this year to Chang'an, and then go to meet the Marquis of Anding.

After getting Song Hong's reply, Wang Shichang took seven people on the road, all the way to the Anding Marquis Mansion in Chang'an, and not only brought Song Hong a piece of Yangzhou, but also a whole box of human heads.

Wang Shichang beheaded 37 people with the big knife in his hand for the first time, and ordered his subordinates to put them in boxes as a meeting gift to the official family.

After this incident, the mighty dart bureau directly played its own flag in the whole Jingguo, and since then, the wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou have also come to this mighty dart bureau to escort the dart, and no one has come to rob it again.

Moreover, Wang Shichang also helped the imperial court to exterminate the Dongyue Rebellion many times, which was favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and personally wrote the inscription, gave it to the Weiwu Dart Bureau, and let the Weiwu Dart Bureau be responsible for the annual tax escort.

And also gave Wang Shichang the big knife called "Sinking Water Dragon Sparrow" used by Marshal Xiliang at that time, which completely established the status of the mighty dart bureau.

Liu Xiao felt that this time it was really a little difficult, this person was not easy to be taken down, not only his own martial arts were high, but also there was a group of brothers who had followed him for many years, and the most important thing was that no one would believe him when he said this.

And this Wang Shichang doesn't even care about the usual taxes for escorting, how could he be involved in this case.

What made Xi Yuanxiu strange was that the news came too quickly, and he had just arrived in Yangzhou on the second day, and Cao Cheng knew who the master of the Chenghua Gang was.

Who wrote to him that the letter could reach him so quickly?

And the meaning of the letter has been explained, Wang Shichang is in the mighty dart bureau in Yangzhou at this time, it is really too clear!

"That..."Liu Xiao looked at Xi Yuanxiu, swallowed his saliva and said: "Let's talk about this matter, don't you talk to those people upstairs, it's Wang Shichang, I think it's just that facial paralysis can solve him, besides, how can it be Wang Shichang, that's the person who pays taxes in Yangzhou in front of him and doesn't even blink his eyelids!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu kept tapping his shoulder with his right hand, his brows furrowed, and he said softly: "I'll think about it again, think about it again!" ”

......

......

In a blink of an eye, it was already noon, and this Lord Xue Luping Xue seemed to be making up for what he said, and specially held a banquet in Guangxing Building, and there were also Xi Yuanxiu and Liu Xiao.

There were still those few people seated, a total of eight people, seated in a private room with a screen.

With the sentence "slow use", I saw that the wine and food on this table had been served, Xue Luping got up and poured wine for the two highnesses, as well as the Qin Cha, and then picked up a glass of wine to toast the three of them.

The crown prince sat firmly on the seat, holding the cup that had just been filled with wine in his right hand, glanced at Xue Luping, then looked ahead, and said: "Lord Xue, don't do so many things to please the above in the future, this palace naturally knows that you are not a person who will do that kind of thing, as long as Lord Xue does a good job of this side of the parent official, what do you say?" ”

Xue Luping took a sip of wine and said grovelly: "Your Highness's lesson is that Weichen will definitely govern Yangzhou for Your Majesty." ”

Zhou Wenbin on the side didn't drink the glass of wine, saying that he couldn't enjoy these things, so he gently pushed the glass of wine aside, which made everyone present very embarrassed.

Before Xue Luping could get angry, Xi Yuanxiu stood up and said, "Xiaguan has the courage to say a word, since Lord Xue knows that he is worried about the king, then now do you think you should go to Xinghuayuan to investigate the Apricot Blossom Courtyard immediately?" ”

Xue Luping's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but make a noise from the cup in his hand.

"This king thinks that what my brother said is right, Lord Xue might as well think about it!"

As soon as Li Yuanhuan's words came out, he had already finalized the matter, this was not a suggestion, but he had already given an order to Xue Luping and asked him to do it as soon as possible.

Xi Yuanxiu glanced at Li Yuanhuan, a little puzzled, I don't know why the king who didn't express his position just now made a decision at this time.

Xue Luping put the cup in his hand on the wine table, and said unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness the King, the lower officials also have the courage to ask you, why did you suddenly agree to check this Xinghua Courtyard?" ”

Li Yuanhuan touched the folding fan in his hand, although he was still smiling, but his tone suddenly became stiff, he looked at Xue Luping and said: "Shouldn't this king check this courtyard, since he has already found out the news, then he should check, when this king was just in that room, he thought that the time was not too ripe, and now that this king has a good idea, if he doesn't make a decision, I'm afraid that everything will be too late!" ”

Li Yuanqing did not refute this, and drank the wine by himself, while Zhou Wenbin nodded on the side, and made a slight "um" sound in his mouth to express his agreement.

Xue Luping surprisingly did not come down, but stared at Li Yuanhuan and said: "His Royal Highness, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to check your prince first!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, Liu Xiao thought in his heart, and felt that Xue Luping would not really be full of paste!

Zhou Wenbin and Xi Yuanxiu glanced at each other, Zhou Wenbin shook his head, saying that he didn't know why Xue Luping would make such a move!

The prince still sat quietly on the main seat, letting his men pour the wine.

Xiao Ye's face was delicate, he didn't know what he was thinking, it seemed that he was also shocked by Xue Luping's words.

Bian Ying picked up the saber, put it across his chest, and shouted at Xue Luping: "Bold, you are a little prefect, you dare to be so presumptuous to His Royal Highness Xianwang!" ”

Li Yuanhuan stretched out his hand and motioned for Bian Ying to put the knife down, then looked at Xue Luping with a smile on his face and asked, "Oh, why did Lord Xue say this?" ”

Xue Luping replied: "Because the lower officials suspect that Your Highness is involved in this illicit salt case, and the assassination of the prisoner upstairs in prison is also related to you!" ”

These words sounded like thunder on the ground, and even the crown prince was no longer as calm as before.

"Lord Xue has identified the prince of the dynasty as guilty, is there any evidence?"

Li Yuanqing looked at Xue Luping with some puzzled eyes.

I saw Xue Luping unhurriedly take out a waist card from his arms, pick it up and hand it to the prince, although everyone was a little far away, but they still saw the words on it clearly.

A gilded word for "dedication!!

The crowd didn't know how to speak for a while.

Even Xi Yuanxiu was a little shocked when he looked at the waist card that dedicated the king's mansion.

"This was found by the lower official in the prison on the day of the crime, I thought that His Royal Highness Xianwang was left inside, but after I thought about it, His Royal Highness Xianwang had never entered that prison, so it must have been left by the assassin that day!"

Xue Luping was still so humble and humble at this time, and he was not half flustered, and he couldn't see that he was asking the prince for merit and receiving rewards, but he was just calmly telling about this matter.

The prince was silent and thought for a while before he slowly spoke: "Fourth brother, this waist card is indeed from your house, how do you explain this?" ”

The whole room was as silent as death, and now they were waiting for His Royal Highness to reply.

Li Yuanhuan gently tapped the table with his fingers, like his high-flying father, put the folding fan on the table with his right hand, looked at Li Yuanqing seriously and said, "I said I didn't do it, the third brother is credible?" ”

Li Yuanqing said indifferently: "This palace naturally doesn't believe it. ”

Li Yuanhuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Then why do you need to ask Brother Wang, whether this waist card is from my hand, or from my house, Brother Wang will attribute this matter to me, so I can only listen to Brother Wang's fate!" ”

Everyone present understands the nature of this matter, even if this waist card is forged, or someone blames the king, the crown prince will not let go of this opportunity, they are not only brothers, but also opponents.

No one knows how many young people His Majesty the Emperor in the capital can last, because when he conquered Xiliang that year, His Majesty the Emperor's lung lobe was shot through by the marshal of Xiliang with an arrow, and he already had a hidden disease.

Both of these princes had to get their father's approval before he drove to the west, and they had to make sure that the name of the king of Jing was only one on his deathbed.

The matter of seizing the heir has been a history of royal humiliation since ancient times, brothers kill each other, and father and son fight each other, which is too common.

But everyone wants to fight for this supreme position, because then they can hold the right of life and death in their own hands.
