At dawn, there was a sudden heavy rainfall.

The gates were opened, and the flood washed away the smoke and fire in the Sanssouci Cave, and even the strange smell of barbecue disappeared.

At noon, Fu Bi, who had not slept all night, was full of energy.

If you don't shake it, you can't do it! After the identification of several witnesses who "reformed the evil and returned to the right", Zhang Xing was not among those who were shot. Careful interrogation of the "well-informed people" who knew the bottom of the matter all said that Zhang Xing did not die in the fire. Could it be true that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years?

If you can't get rid of the first evil, it feels like you can't enjoy it without that last trembling!

Fu Bi is very worried.

At this moment, Fang Zhongyong, who is performing his work, is also very worried.

Supposedly, we are the leader's secretary, serving tea and water, sending and receiving documents, or something. The work is idle, the benefits are good, and it doesn't seem to offend anyone.

But how did you Kong Daofu, the middle of the imperial history, be?

First of all, Dao Yushi criticized lawbreakers for disturbing the order of the capital. All right! I put up with it. Last night's movement was not small, and it was a bit disturbing to the people.

Then there is a palace attendant Shi Tangjie insinuating, saying that there is a lucky villain who pretends to use the power of heaven to do illegal things. Illegal your sister? Lao Tzu is going to exterminate the outlaws, right?

What's even more excessive is that Lu Yijian, who is under the Pingzhang of the same book, said in a mysterious way, "I don't know who the official family was deceived by, and he did such a big thing unknowingly?" ”

Zhao Zhen can ignore other people's words, but once the prime minister's face can't be brushed off.

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Lu Xiangyan is serious! It's just that the second and third sons are frolicking in front of the princes, what kind of big deal should it be? That Zhang Xing is entrenched in the Sanssouci Cave, which is very harmful, and there are secretaries and young eunuchs and Kaifeng Mansion officials, saying that there is a way to do it once and for all. I was annoyed that Zhang Xing and others were doing nonsense, but I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and I had a heart of disobedience, so I cooperated. Fu Aiqing, let me ask you, have you done it all? ”

Fu Bi hurriedly came out to ask for guilt: "The minister is afraid! Although the ministers have the help of the officials, and the thieves in the waterways have all been wiped out, they have not yet been awarded the first rank of Zhang Xing. If the minister is not doing well, please punish the official! ”

Fang Zhongyong also pleaded guilty: "It was the minister's inconsiderate thinking that caused the bandit leader to escape, and the minister is guilty."

Yan Shu saw that the two sons-in-law were guilty, how could he be alone, and said: "It was the minister's negligence in discipline that caused the two children to waste a lot of manpower and material resources. Please ask Your Majesty to recommend the crimes of misconduct and lax discipline, and punish the crimes of Fu Bi and Fang Zhongyong for bullying the king. ”

If you want to say that Lu Yijian and Yan Shu have any holidays, it is impossible to say. Although there is a slight repression, it is only the nature of politicians. Questioning is just a matter of having the right to know.

As the prime minister, such a big thing happened in Bianliang, he didn't know about it, and he didn't inform anyone before. What's the matter, our prime minister has become an ornament? I, Lu Yijian, am not the taciturn Wang Zeng, who have I been afraid of?

Lu Yijian smiled: "I'm worried about my uncle!" Since the old man is the prime minister, it is not too much to ask about what happened in Gyeonggi! Your son-in-law and son-in-law unknowingly did such a great thing and kept all the ministers in the dark. The old man admires it very much! ”

This old thing, speaking generously, has the meaning of alluding to forming a party for personal gain. Fang Zhongyong hated it deeply, but he couldn't face this old thief with his own light words?

Fang Zhong can never, Yan Shu can still do.

Yan Shu smiled: "What the Prime Minister said is extremely true. If someone acts recklessly without the permission of the official family, and privately prohibits the army, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is plotting rebellion. Xingfu and Fang still knew some rules, and everything was done in accordance with the will of the officials, and there was no transgression in the slightest.

The reason why he didn't discuss it in the court was just because he was afraid that the news would leak out, so as not to prevent the thieves from taking precautions. Please forgive me! ”

The trap in the words is obvious, and everyone will naturally not be fooled, and said in unison: "The stakes are very high, and it is natural to be confidential."

Yan Shu not only saved his image, but also did not care too much, and turned to Zhao Zhen and said: "The minister carefully inquired about the process of Fu Bi's suppression of bandits, and felt that there was no big mistake. Therefore, the minister felt that Zhang Xing, the leader of the bandits, had never escaped, or disguised himself and hid among the civilians who were temporarily detained. It is the responsibility of the department to screen in detail, and there will be gains. ”

Fu Bi patted his head, yes! How could I not have thought of it! hurriedly confessed and left the palace, and together with Fang Zhongyong, they inquired about the detention points one by one.

It's also strange to say, after a careful look at several places, there is no shadow of Zhang Xing at all. Could it be that the forbidden army was negligent, and the officials acted for personal gain, and actually let Zhang Xing go?

asked the governor of the forbidden army, but it seemed to humiliate him, saying that "the military order is like a mountain, how dare you ignore it". It should be, the military law of seven prohibitions and eighteen beheadings in the army is not just talking, and if something goes wrong, you have to use your head to atonement for the crime. It is estimated that no one will lose their lives for the sake of the so-called righteousness of friends.

Is the problem with the officials?

Most of them are familiar with the rats of the City Fox Society, and even they are one of them, maybe because of the situation, or because they have money, and they secretly indulge in it.

Fu Bi trained a group of officials and arresters in Kaifeng Mansion one by one, but they also found nothing.

Fang Zhongyong took a closer look at Zhang Xing's portrait and said with interest: "Brother Yanguo, do you think that Zhang Xing will disguise himself as a woman and hide in those fans?"

Fu Bi didn't believe it: "That Zhang Xing calls himself a hero, how can he wear women's clothes and make people laugh?"

Fang Zhongyong said with a smile: "In this case, Brother Yan Guo will continue to investigate, and I will try my luck at the place where the woman is being detained!"

At this time, the barracks where the women were temporarily detained were crowded with women.

Those who have families and rooms have long been claimed by their families, and only the lonely warblers and old prostitutes of the hundred and tenth are left, who are still in the military camp because no one is willing to accept them.

These women were accustomed to the skin and meat business, and had nothing else to do, although some of the sergeants had been benefactors, but the military rules were strict, and no one dared to secretly have a good time with them, let alone let them go.

Those wandering warblers were noisy all day long to go out to make a living, which made Yang Wenguang, who was in charge of guarding, grow his head twice.

are all delicate women, you can't be suspicious of people's talk, so you can chop them with a knife, right? But let people go without permission, Yang Wenguang didn't have the guts.

Don't look at the later generations who said that the Yang family generals seem to be many high-ranking powers, but in the social atmosphere of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, Yang Wenguang is the commander of the forbidden army - equivalent to the head of the regiment, and in front of Fang Zhongyong, the second-in-command of the general office, he also wants to call himself a subordinate official.

Fang Zhongyong looked at Yang Wenguang, who was very humble in front of him, and didn't dare to take it big.

Don't look at people's official positions, but they can't prepare for people's loyalty and military models!

What a good person Mr. Pang is, he was described as a traitor by those unreliable romances. Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family and Lao Bao must not be offended.

Fang Zhongyong said very politely: "General Yang, don't be polite. You and I are ministers in the same palace, and we are going to work together to give the people a bright future! This time, I came down to come for Zhang Xing. ”

Yang Wenguang was very respectful: "Only Lord Fang is looking forward." It's just that all the people in the barracks here are women, how can Zhang Xing be here? ”

"If you're not there, you'll find out when you check it. Does General Yang know how many people are still detained in the battalion? ”

"There were more than 3,000 old and weak women and children. Some of the family members have signed and signed the pledge, and the remaining one hundred and three people are all homeless fans. ”

Speaking of these, Yang Wenguang is familiar with it, and he is even more miserable: "Adults don't know anything. Although these women are engaged in lowly jobs, most of them are forced by life, and their feelings are pitiful. It's annoying to be noisy every day, but you can't kill it. It's a real headache! ”

Fang Zhongyong smiled: "It's okay! And thou shalt summon all those men to the tent, and let me discern one or two, and if there are any who are willing to be good, they may also be brought to the people's household. ”

In a short time, the women were called to the open space in front of the tent.

At a cursory glance, it is also a flower and branch, a warbler and a swallow.

If you look closely, you can see that your face is covered with inferior rouge gouache, and your body is wearing a black-dyed linen cloth.

What's more, there are several old women in their fifties who are also mixed in. The teeth are all gone, can you have customers come to your door?

Fang Zhongyong called the old women closer and asked, "What do you do for a living?" What about the income? ”

One of the old women who still had the charm of herself said: "Look at what you said, we were also the top names back then. Although he is old and decrepit, there are many regular customers, and the business is still good. ”

"Oh, but there are fives?"

Fang Zhongyong was also interested, was the ancient business so easy to do?

The old woman replied, "My lord laughed." It's only twenty or thirty wen at a time, and it's only one or twenty people a month, which is only enough for food and clothing. Because the old maid knows a few words, her monthly income is only eight or nine hundred words! ”

Fang Zhongyong sighed: "In this way, your life is not easy! There is a good place to go right now, you can get three times a month, are you willing to go? ”

The old woman said: "Don't deceive me and other hard-working people, is there such a good thing in the world?"

Yang Wenguang scolded very doggedly: "Blind the dog eyes you are waiting for, this is the secretary and young eunuch Lord Fang in person, where is the spare time to play you and others?"

Fang Zhongyong smiled and said, "This official Zhongyong, you must also know this official!"

A group of warblers and swallows, stars in their eyes, and the self-proclaimed beauty secretly sent autumn spinach.

Fang Zhongyong continued: "The official family is benevolent and intends to set up a royal Salesian bureau and a nursing home in the south of the city to adopt orphans and the elderly and helpless. You can be willing to go to the Salesian Bureau to take care of orphans with a monthly salary of three times, or you can raise your status as a good citizen. ”

For a while, those old women were stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.

The other young men quit and shouted, "We are all younger and stronger than those old ones, why do we have a good thing to do with them?"

Fang Zhong never thought it was wrong: "If you want to go, you can't do it." First, they must not suffer from a serious disease; Second, the probationary period is one year, and the monthly salary is halved; 3. During the probationary period, those who abuse or harm children, or fail to do their best, will be held twice as guilty. Have you figured it out? ”

Most of them died down, but dozens of people still do.

Fang Zhongyong interviewed those who were willing one by one, excluded those who were obviously sick, and excluded those who were good-looking-the master who was determined to not work for long.

As for the common occupational diseases in the industry, there are female doctors in charge, and Fang Zhongyong will not overstep his responsibilities.

Looking at the remaining seventy or eighty people, Fang Zhongyong didn't bother to screen them one by one.

A man gave two baskets full of earth and declared: "The first person to pour the earth into the pit in front of the camp will be released immediately and shall be given 300 yuan for the settlement of the family.

A group of women who are interested in going to the society and serving the public as soon as possible, all of them are striving to be the first.

Finally, there was a strong person who got the first excellent result, and went back to work triumphantly with the bonus.

The others looked at it, yo, this official's words are reliable! Strongly requested for another round.

Master Fang is as good as a stream, and then opens the second round of the pit filling competition.

I saw one of the strange women, although carrying two baskets on her shoulders, she also walked like flying, kicking left and right, and had the meaning of riding in the dust.

Yang Wenguang, who had already been instructed, shouted: "Take it!"

The soldiers armed with crossbows surrounded the "strange woman".

The woman pleaded, "Gentlemen, don't embarrass the slave family! The slave family is delicate and weak, and I can't stand it! ”

Fang Zhongyong was impatient to open a yellow article with the suspicious woman's thing, and laughed and said, "Zhang Xing, stop pretending!" Don't you call yourself some kind of night boy? Wouldn't such an act discredit you? ”

The woman threw a wink at Fang Zhongyong, and said coquettishly: "What the official said, the slave family really doesn't understand!" Why don't you let these soldiers stand down and let the slaves come closer to talk? ”

Fang Zhongyong seemed to be fascinated, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!"

Yang Wenguang persuaded: "This person is extraordinary, be careful!"

Fang Zhongyong glanced at Yang Wenguang and said, "How is it better than you?"

Yang Wenguang said proudly: "In the army, the lower officials are rewarded by the officials. Zhang Xing is just a district leader, not worth mentioning! ”

Fang Zhongyong said like those old traitors: "Since the general is here, this official has no worries!"

The woman twisted and twisted like a willow in the wind, twisted in front of Fang Zhongyong, and was blessed: "The slave family greets the adult." The remnants of the flowers and willows did not dare to insult the ears and eyes of the adults, and specially presented the family heirloom of the golden arm and the adults, only hoping that the adults would let the slaves go back as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he groped his sleeve with a gesture.

Fang Zhongyong just didn't say anything, watching the monkey show with a smile.

Unconsciously, the woman had already arrived at Fang Zhongyong's side. He took out a dagger from his sleeve and shouted, "Death to the dog officer!"

To say that this ancient man is really a little lacking in heart! If you didn't shout like this, maybe Fang Zhongyong would have reluctantly suffered his death!

If you don't shout, it's not good to frighten the children. The quality is too poor, and it must be well educated!

So, Fang Zhongyong rewarded the woman-looking thing with a slap in the face, adding a bone effect.

Yang Wenguang, who had already been on guard, also used his family heirloom - the Yang family gun, which poked the assassin through the heart and made his heart fly.

Zhang Xing vomited blood, still unconvinced: "How can you tell that I am a man disguised as a woman?"

The thirst for knowledge is quite strong! Explain it, so as not to delay his studies.

"Which powder head can carry a hundred pounds on his shoulders and stumble under his feet when he runs fast? You're kind of cautious, and you know to wait and see. Well, the answer is clear! Go back, uh no, die! ”

So, Zhang Xing got the answer he wanted and went to hell happily.
