Chapter 110: Expulsion
For a while, the entire Jingzhao Mansion was made to fly, and almost everyone spent it in panic, originally Dong Fengling thought that he would get his father's reward for successfully sneaking up on Liu Zhenglong, but he didn't expect to wait for a cruel punishment.
Facing his unsuccessful son, Dong Qi didn't want to punish him, but now the entire Jingzhao Mansion has been made to a pulp, and the situation has deteriorated to the limit. In this case, if Dong Fengling is not punished, there will definitely be no way to explain to his subordinates, after all, it is this guy's actions that have caused such evil consequences.
Now that the situation in Jingzhao Mansion has gotten out of control, in order to appease everyone's inner anger, Dong Qi personally broke his son Dong Fengling's left arm as a punishment.
Dong Fengling, who was punished, was even more unconvinced, and this simple-minded guy ran out of his house and went to fool around with tiles, but was caught by the officials.
Under the most cruel punishment, Dong Fengling finally couldn't bear it, and confessed everything he knew, and after knowing that he confessed, he sounded his father's death knell, and this guy finally chose to apologize with death.
Originally, Dong Qi's original plan was to have Li Junchong carry the black pot and count it as a good thing, but he didn't expect that Li Junchong, whose wrist was pinched, would be mysterious, and the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty were assassinated, so he would definitely not give up, and sure enough, the nine gates of Jingzhao Mansion were closed, and a carpet search was launched, almost to the point of door-to-door search, and there was no exception from Jingzhao Mansion to the people of Limin.
The reason why the Jingzhao Mansion stayed behind, down to the Li people without exception, is mainly because Zhu Xiaosun in order to avoid suspicion, it is obvious that the dispute between the prince and the king of Yun extends from the court to the Jingzhao Mansion, and the line of the king of Yun must be associated with the assassination caused by the factional dispute, and Zhu Xiaosun naturally became a suspect.
Of course, Zhu Xiaosun took the initiative to search because he couldn't bear it in the face of the menacing Long Xiang Army, and if he insisted on not letting the search, the entire people who stayed in the mansion would not want to go out.
The 3,000 dragon troops were divided into four groups to carry out a carpet search of Jingzhao Mansion, and if they found any suspicious points, they were directly arrested, and if they encountered resistance, they would be killed. The first group was commanded by Long Xiangjun to make Yang Zhi lead the search from the east gate, and the second group was led by Bao Xu to start the search from the north gate. The third group of Jiao Ting and Yu Bao began to search from the west gate, and the fourth group was led by Yan Shun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng to search from the south gate.
Not only in the city of Jingzhaofu, but even within twenty miles outside the city, there is still a door-to-door search, and the scoundrels who usually work as traitors have poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and they are directly arrested and put in prison one by one.
As time went by, the search got closer and closer, not only the Long Xiang army was searching, but the officials inside the yamen and the local Xiang army all launched a search, and it is said that the Imperial City Division Secret Pile, which was originally stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, also began to investigate secretly.
Dong Qi finally knew that trouble was coming, it seemed that such a search would find himself sooner or later, although the location of the secret passage was very tight, but it could not stand this kind of carpet search.
What to do, whether to destroy all these materials or transport them out, anyway, they must not stay in the city, Dong Qi finally decided to send them to a relatively safe place, instead of sending them out of the city, at this time it was already nine gates closed, and it was not easy to send them out of the city.
The catastrophe was caused by Dong Fengling, and the bosses of all shops in Xixia asked Dong Qi to give everyone an explanation, you must know that these bosses are all collecting intelligence, and the shops are just covering their identities! Now that all the shops of the Xixia people have been seized, and they will be arrested as soon as they show up, how can they not spread their anger on Dong Fengling's head in this case?
In order to give everyone an explanation, Dong Qi abolished his biological son with his own hands, Dong Fengling was broken limbs, this is not the end, after all, the search is still going on, in desperation, Dong Qi can only hand over the command to Mi Lichang, hoping that this little master of the Mili tribe can lead everyone through the difficulties.
The reason why Dong Qi handed over the command was not that he couldn't withstand the pressure, but that he wanted to personally send the important information to a safe place, because all the official residences were searched symbolically, and he didn't want to search other places seven or eight times, so he still didn't let go.
10,000 yuan of money, plus two little ladies, in the end, Chen Haiqing agreed to Dong Qi's request, and he personally escorted these things into his brother-in-law's house, because it was safe and had been searched, and absolutely no one dared to come to conduct a second search.
Chen Haiqing, a guy whose IQ is not online, didn't know that his actions had pushed his brother-in-law into the abyss of no return, and Du Chong's mansion had been closely monitored by various forces from the beginning, but he couldn't see it on the surface! Chen Haiqing thought about this matter too simply, and felt that his brother-in-law was still the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion. I didn't know at all that in extraordinary times, the prefect was an empty shell, and in front of those rude soldiers, the prefect was not bullshit.
The nose of the golden retriever Duan Jingzhu is more turin than the nose of a dog, this guy has long been eyeing the old Dong's leather goods store, and he has not moved, waiting for this opportunity.
After seeing Dong Qi and the others enter the official mansion, Duan Jingzhu sent someone to send a letter to Li Jin, hoping that he would come to check it in person.
Letting Li Jin raid the Du Mansion is the most important link in the whole plan, that is, to pull Li Jin, the head snake, into the water, and it will be difficult to turn over in the future.
Li Jin didn't expect the battle to be so big, but now it's not a question of whether he wants to do it or not, but this time, if the court doesn't give an order, no one dares to stop, so he can only search hard.
How this wind blows and where it blows, this is not something that a small person like Li Jin can figure out, he just knows that if he wants to keep the Li family's status in Jingzhao Mansion, he can only hold on.
After receiving the tip, the leader of the Western Xia spy entered Du Chong's mansion with important information, Li Jin suddenly had a terrible idea, this Liu Zhenglong is too insidious, such a shameless trick can be thought of, it seems that this poisonous insect will shed its skin if it does not die.
"Dead friends, immortal poor friends." At this time, Li Jin was fortunate to cooperate with Liu Zhenglong, since such an insidious trick can be used on Du Chong, then it can also be used on himself. It seems that such a vicious bully is better off taking refuge than being an enemy.
Li Jin did not use a group of soldiers from the government this time, but all the children of the Li family, and borrowed a thousand elite soldiers from the Zhejia army to surround the Du Mansion.
Du Chong was very dissatisfied with this search, he said to Li Jin angrily: "Li Tongju, what the hell are you doing, haven't my house been searched, why are you here again, do you think this official is easy to bully?" ”
"Master Du, you have wronged the officials. Liang Fang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division, was a friend of Liu Yuanjun before his death, and this time he personally led the team, and named to re-search the mansions of officials of Jingzhao Mansion. The left-behind mansion that Lord Liang personally searched, you are here and I personally searched. Pan Tongzhi personally searched the Zhefu, and in the lower mansion, Pan Tongzhi's official residence was searched by Long Xiangjun. By the way, tomorrow, you will receive a notice that you will lead the team to thoroughly investigate the Liu Mansion. ”
Li Jin is very sophisticated in playing this kind of thing, and Du Chong, the old fox, still knows very little about this kind of thing, although he realizes that something is wrong, he can't find any reason to refuse for a while, after all, the people of the Imperial City Division have already come forward, and it is impossible to stop it.
The Imperial City Division is similar to the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, which has always handled cases independently, and it is normal to concoct unjust, false and wrongful cases. It's just that the Imperial City Division is much more low-key than Jinyiwei, and its power is much smaller, but it doesn't mean that it can't clean up the magistrates.
Du Chong obviously knew that this kind of search would not be beneficial to him, but he knew that Liu Zhenglong's assassination had nothing to do with him, and he was not afraid that the Imperial City Division would frame him, after all, Liu Zhenglong was dead, and it was of no real meaning to frame himself.
The mansions of all officials will be searched for the second round, especially Liu's mansion, and in this case, Du Chong will not be able to forcibly stop it. After all, the idea of searching the eunuch's mansion was his own, and of course he believed that there was no problem in his mansion.
If there is a problem, or there is no problem, it will be known as soon as you search.
Search, this time the search was much more careful than the first one, and almost every corner was not spared.
When he searched the secret room in the backyard, Dong Qi knew that he was here to arrest him, so he took the Western Xia warriors to fight back, and the two sides fought.
I knew that there were Western Xia dead soldiers, but this time Li Jin brought all the dead soldiers raised by the Li family, and they were masters selected from the middle, and the goal was to kill these Western Xia spies.
As soon as the two sides fought, the large number of dead soldiers of the Li family took the absolute initiative, some went to strangle the Western Xia spies, and some used crossbow arrows to shoot on the periphery. Li Jin's order was to kill, not to capture alive, so there was no need to worry at all, and the battle lasted not long before it ended. It ended with Dong Qi being shot through both legs and announcing his surrender, and more than half of the thirty-eight Western Xia spies were killed and wounded, and the rest surrendered.
Li Jin said coldly to Du Chong: "Lord Du, how can there be a dead soldier of Western Xia in your house, it seems that you are going to give an explanation to the imperial court." ”
"You framed me?" After all, Du Chong is a civil official, where has he ever seen such a big battle, he was suddenly paralyzed to the ground with fright, and he couldn't even speak for a while when he peed his pants.
It was on this night that the final clean-up operation began, and the seventeen intelligence bases in Jingzhao Mansion were uprooted overnight, and nearly 3,000 Western Xia people were killed, many of whom were innocent, of course. However, all the spies on the list were caught, and none escaped.
The methods of the Imperial City Division are not something that ordinary people can bear, and Dong Qi, the intelligence leader installed in Jingzhao Mansion in Western Xia, has not resisted, let alone others.
Not only did he arrest the Western Xia spies, but the Song people who were dragged into the water by these spies were arrested and imprisoned for three years and 17 lives. Of course, Li Jin achieved a successful cut, and this time not only was it fine, but he was also the chief hero.
Zhu Xiaosun took Li into the capital to report the ins and outs of the case, at this moment Du Chong knew that Liu Zhenglong's assassination was true, and the death of injury and poisoning was false, the purpose was to cut off the intelligence organization of Western Xia, of course, he suffered an unwarranted disaster.
Du Chong didn't think that he was calculated, but thought that it was a disaster, and he went to see Liu Zhenglong with a heavy gift, hoping that this three-way defense envoy would show him a way to live.
After experiencing this assassination, Liu Zhenglong's murderous aura in his body has faded a lot. He doesn't plan to kill Du Chong, who makes Du Chong his brother-in-law Yang Zhi's father-in-law, in this case, it is human nature to let go of a horse.
"Liu Zhenglong, you are the Great Song Super Bully, you bastard calculating others, you must not die well." At first, Du Chong thought that the whole thing was a coincidence, so he wanted to give his baby daughter to Liu Zhenglong, but this bastard gave his daughter to Yang Zhi, the ugly Qiu Ba, which made him understand that Liu Zhenglong deliberately framed himself and set up a game.
Yes, this is indeed a game laid out by Liu Zhenglong, the previous plan was not like this, it is much more complicated, and of course the effect will be better. But after being hit by a hidden weapon, Liu Zhenglong immediately changed his mind, quickly adjusted the plan, and spread the news of his poisoning death as quickly as possible.
Liu Zhenglong asked his subordinates to secretly release the carrier pigeon, after all, the matter of his fake death can be hidden from the whole world, but he can't hide it from the official family, in that case, it is a crime of bullying the king, and he can't hide it from the Pan family, and he emphasized in his heart that the time is ripe to break with the Cao family. Time is running out, we must catch the chicken and break up, if it is not solved before Tong Guan returns to the court, it will be a big trouble in the future.
The official family knew that Liu Zhenglong was scheming and thoughtful, but it didn't reach such an outrageous point, and he even asked himself to help with acting. Although Song Huizong Zhao Ji was a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking about the official break between the Pan family and the Cao family, this is a great thing for him.
I don't know how much Cai Jing paid, but in the end, Du Chong was not implicated, but was transferred from Jingzhao Mansion to Cangzhou as the prefect. Li Jin, who made great contributions, was reappointed as the same governor, and Pan Feng, the former Tongzhi of Jingzhao Mansion, did not succeed in taking over the post of prefect, but changed to the prefect of Hangzhou, which can be regarded as a high promotion. The arrival of the newly arrived Jingzhao Governor Wang Boyan cast a shadow on Liu Zhenglong's heart, but he knew that this was the decision of the ministers of the political affairs hall, and it was not something that his father-in-law could stop, so he could only accept this fact. I knew that this was the result, it was better to leave Du Chong behind, this old fox was much more difficult to deal with than Du Chong.
Now that Wang Boyan is here, Liu Zhenglong is mentally prepared to fight with this old fox for a long time, and of course he is prepared for the worst.
