Chapter 538 The drunkard does not mean to drink
In King Xin's mansion, Hong Zun, who originally planned to go to Shi Miyuan's mansion first, met his top boss Lu Zujian as soon as he walked to the royal street, so at this moment, Hong Zun was standing in front of King Xin, Lu Zujian, and Lu Zuqian's brothers with a sweat, and told the story of what happened in Ye Qing's house just now.
"Xia Guan couldn't judge the truth for a while, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Ye Qing gourd, so he didn't follow Peng Guinian and Xin Qiji to Wuyi Lane, thinking that after reporting this matter to the adults, the adults would decide." Standing in front of King Xin and Lu Zujian, Hong Zun didn't even dare to wipe the fine sweat on his head.
After all, he was a little weak-hearted, and the first thing he thought about just now was not to report to Lu Zujian and King Xin, but to rush to Shi Miyuan's mansion as soon as possible.
King Xin and Lu Zujian glanced at each other silently, and they were also a little unsure of what kind of medicine Ye Qing was selling in this gourd.
Lu Zuqian, who was on the side, looked at King Xin and his brother with solemn expressions, and after thinking for a while, he coughed and said: "If Ye Qing wants to do the crime of confirming Mr. Zhu's money, then it is reasonable to design Xin Qiji to go to Wuyi Lane to pick up Mr. Zhu." ”
As soon as he said a word, seeing that King Xin and Lu Zujian were looking at him at the same time, Lu Zuqian hurriedly explained: "After all...... Xin Qiji is a reformed person, and he has always respected Mr. Zhu very much, so it is reasonable for Ye Qing to use Xin Qiji, a reformed person, as a spy of the Beidi Jinren to confirm Mr. Zhu's crime. But with Peng Guinian...... Is it also revenge? After all, Peng Guinian, as a squire of the Criminal Department, was the prefect of Fan Niande when he drowned in Jiangling, and it was because of his impeachment that other court officials began to believe that Ye Qing was the mastermind behind the murder of Fan Niande drowning. So could this be a trick set up by Ye Qing? ”
Lu Zujian was in front of King Xin, before King Xin didn't speak, it was obviously not good to take the lead in speaking, looking at King Xin and shaking his head, he muttered with a thoughtful expression: "I can't guess what this Ye Qing wants to do, but...... Ye Qing, what kind of staff does he lean on? Dare to arrest two officials from the imperial court from the fourth rank and put them in the prison of the Imperial City Division? It is true that Xin Qiji is a reformed person, but it is also true that he has been determined to resist gold and regain lost land for many years, and many people know that "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin" and "Nine Treatises" are known to many people, and the imperial court appointed him as a squire in the military department, which is enough to show that the imperial court still trusts Xin Qiji very much, how could Ye Qing be stupid enough to frame Xin Qiji as a spy in the north? So as to confirm Mr. Zhu's crime of passing gold? Peng Guinian was the prefect of Jiangling at the beginning, and he was also the waiter of the Criminal Department, if he said revenge...... Isn't he afraid that tomorrow the saint will ask the saint in the court? How does he justify himself? ”
"This person seems to be reckless, bold, and reckless in his work, but in his bones, Ye Qing is a deep and calculating person, and every move seems to be a dangerous move, but it was decided after his careful calculation." Lu Zujian frowned, and couldn't help but think of the past.
"What did Lu Qing say about this?" King Xin thought about it, and didn't know why Lu Zujian suddenly came up with his evaluation of Ye Qing at this time.
Lu Zujian, who was not in a hurry, looked at the three people standing here, sorted out his thoughts and said: "King Xin, do you still remember, when did this Ye Qing make his career, because of what things began to win the trust of the emperor?" ”
"Naturally, it's because of Tang Siwei, if he hadn't brought down Tang Siwei by himself, how could his father tolerate him until now?" King Xin didn't tell Ye Qing about the matter with the Beidi clan, after all, even if this matter was in Zhao Gou's place, it was a secret.
"Then dare to ask King Xin, do you still remember, when did Ye Qing start to completely tear his face with Tang Siwei? And in what way? Every time Lu Zujian asked, his brows furrowed more and more.
"What do you mean?" King Xin raised his eyebrows, and he had already vaguely guessed what Lu Zujian wanted to say.
Looking at King Xin's appearance, Lu Zujian let out a long breath, and then said slowly: "It seems that King Xin has guessed, yes, the rainy night of Da Wazi is a key battle, and this battle Ye Qing not only pulled out Tang Si's five hundred elites in the Imperial City Division, but also made Long Dayuan, the commander of the forbidden army at that time, die in vain." Of course, the most important thing is ...... At that time, Xu Xi, the secretary of Dali Temple, had just arrived at Dawazi, and before he even had time to get off the car, he was cut off his neck with a knife, and his arms were stuffed into the heads of Long Dayuan and Liu Yungu. No one has ever pursued this matter, even the Liang Kejia of the Criminal Department, who was present at the time, did not pursue this matter later, but ...... Now that the lower officials want to come, this matter is really instructed...... Or is the murderer someone else, or is it him Ye Qing? ”
"After the incident, I thought that my father would strictly investigate or push Ye Qing out as a substitute for the dead ghost, but in the end nothing happened, Ye Qing was still the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, and finally sat in the position of commander. If Xu Xi's death was Ye Qing'....... King Xin suddenly stopped talking, but looked up to the sky and sighed: "That's it, there is no need to talk about this matter, but since you have found some clues in the past two years after serving as the secretary of Dali Temple, you might as well continue to investigate secretly, maybe it will be of some use to us in the future." ”
King Zhao Xuan did not entangle with Lu Zujian on the topic of the death of Xu Xi, the former Dali Temple, because he found that if he pursued further, it was very likely that the spearhead would be pointed at the Emperor Taishang.
Regardless of whether this matter was instructed by the Emperor Taishang, or whether Ye Qing was arbitrary, but at least a dignified Dali Siqing died so inexplicably, and the imperial court did not even have a minimum attitude, not to mention that Liang Kejia, the original secretary of the Criminal Department, was at the scene of the incident, and in the end, he did not track down the murderer who killed Xu Xi, obviously someone deliberately suppressed this matter and did not pursue it.
"Yes, King Xin." Lu Zujian bowed his head and said: "But what the lower officials still want to say is that whether it is the battle on the rainy night of Da Wazi or the conflict on the day of the prince's wedding, under the circumstances at that time, from the perspective of a bystander, Ye Qing is like a reckless man, who never does things through his brains, but he has saved him from danger twice, and he has not been pursued by the imperial court, and even had a conflict with the Jin man Qishi Lie Zhining on the royal street, and he was able to send the Jin State not only to retreat unharmed, but also to persuade the Jin State to exempt the imperial court from the annual annual coins and tribute. So what Xia Guan means is that for Ye Qing, we might as well plan and then act, see what he wants to do, and we are thinking about countermeasures. ”
King Xin let out a long sigh again, and involuntarily thought of what Zhong Qing and Ye Qing looked like when they stood together facing the golden man on the royal street that day.
Looking at King Xin, who sighed without speaking, and then at the two brothers Lu Zujian, who were frowning, Hong Zunnuo, who was standing in front of the three of them, said, "But ...... What if Ye Qing really wants to give face to Xin Qiji and Peng Guinian tonight, and let Mr. Zhu go? How can tomorrow's students or other literati make things bigger? As a result, Ye Qing was ruined among the students? ”
"Send someone to check first, whether it is released or arrested, and then decide tomorrow." King Xin watched Zhang Dadao's figure outside the hall flash away, and instantly lost his mind about the things in front of him, and began to imagine that Zhang Dadao had found a Taoist companion to double cultivate with him tonight.
Brother Lu Zujian's attitude towards King Xin at this time was obviously accustomed to it, and Hong Zun, who did not often deal with King Xin, was stunned, and some of them couldn't react to King Xin's concentration on this matter, why did it dissipate so quickly, could it be that between them, what was more important, was it something that he was not qualified to participate in to discuss?
But what he didn't expect was that seeing King Xin's somewhat absent-minded appearance, the Lu brothers actually got up and saluted King Xin to say goodbye, not because they were there, but they gave themselves an eviction order alone.
The confused Hong Zun walked out of the Xinwang Mansion with the Lu brothers, and the Lu brothers faced Hong Zun's inquiring eyes, as if they hadn't seen it, and after whispering a few words from time to time, they left Hong Zun with a stunned face in front of the Xinwang Mansion, and got into the carriage and left.
Wuyi Lane is famous for the Imperial City Division, and I don't know if it's the name of the alley or because the Imperial City Division is here, the long alley of Wuyi Lane is much darker than other brightly lit alleys. As soon as people step into this famous alley, they can't help but feel a gust of wind blowing that chills the back of their necks, as if they have entered the underworld, and there is a gloomy feeling everywhere.
Zhu Xi was not tortured to extract a confession in the Imperial City Division, and even since he entered the Imperial City Division, he did not even set foot in the dungeon, accompanied by the military judge and Lin Guangchao, there was a sumptuous dinner on the table, and Zhu Xi was not polite, while eating, he also commented on the color and aroma of this dish from time to time, and from time to time he pointed to the empty wine glass with the chopsticks in his hand, and motioned to the military judge sitting next to him and Lin Guangchao to pour him wine.
"If this is the case, it can be regarded as imprisoning the old man in the Imperial City Division, and the two of you go and tell Ye Qing that the old man can make him poor as the Imperial City Division." Zhu Xi took the wine glass and drank it all, and said with satisfaction after putting down the wine glass.
"As long as you're not afraid of being a severed head." The corners of Lin Guangchao's mouth pulled out a sneer, it was the first time he had seen someone who dared to treat the Imperial City Division as casually as his family after entering the Imperial City Division.
"He Ye Qing will not kill the old man, even if the old man has a grudge with him and wants to kill the old man, he Ye Qing will not arrest me, but will be respectful to me on the surface, so that everyone in the world can see how harmonious the relationship between him Ye Qing and me and Zhu Xi is, and then he will secretly get rid of me." Zhu Xi tapped the wine glass again with chopsticks and motioned for Lin Guangchao to pour wine.
"Then what do you think we mean we're capturing you to the Imperial City Division? Do you think it's just to invite you to drink and eat tea? The martial judge looked at Zhu Xi's appearance, but he was very interested in where Zhu Xi's confidence came from, and he was not afraid at all that he would die in the imperial city.
"I'll tell you the truth, when I first heard about Wuyi Lane, the old man was really nervous, and when he was taken into the carriage by you, the old man also thought that his life would be short, but ...... Since entering this Imperial City Division, you have not put the old man in prison, but have served it with delicious food and drink, which shows that Ye Qing is a drunkard and does not mean to drink. In the end, Zhu Xi didn't forget to play a dumb riddle with Wu Juan and Lin Guangchao.
