(Thank you very much for your generous support and monthly pass support.) ）

Wang Junlin said with a slightly solemn expression: "There are at least twenty people below, just now when I was fighting with the ten black-clothed people guarding above, the black-clothed man who took the lead rushed out for a while, and was forced down by me, but this person is a master and has the strength of the stagnation period." ”

"It's a master of stasis." Huang Baoqiang's expression was slightly solemn, you must know that he is only worthy of entering the stagnation period, but he is already a high-ranking official in the Hou Guan system, otherwise how can he call the shots without going through Du Luoge and transfer more than 20 Hou Guan.

"In addition to this entrance, there is no entrance and exit and ventilation in this basement, if Brother Huang wants to kill these people, as long as he is optimistic about this iron plate, and does not let the thieves smash it from the inside, at most one by one incense sticks, all the people inside will be suffocated!" Wang Junlin said lightly.

When Huang Baochang and the marquis heard this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, thinking about the poisonous name of the person in front of them, and thinking that he was really a ruthless person.

Without waiting for Huang Baochang and the others to answer, Wang Junlin said again: "But if you want to catch the mouth alive, you can close the half-burnt incense, and when the people inside become weak, open the entrance again, and release them one by one, you can easily capture them alive." ”

Huang Baochang took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "Master Hou is clever." ”

Wang Junlin smiled and said, "There is nothing more here, I will leave first, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to Brother Huang and you." ”

After speaking, Wang Junlin hugged his fists to everyone, and left directly with a very bachelor, Huang Baochang was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he completely believed that Wang Junlin really didn't look down on these credits. He hurriedly brought someone to return the salute, and said: "Master Hou go slowly, I will report the matter here to Commander Du and His Majesty truthfully." ”

Wang Junlin walked out of the sledgehammer iron shop, summoned four guards hiding in the dark at the door, and left directly.

"Light the incense time, and after half a burnt incense, open the entrance and release these thieves one by one. Qin Anhou said that there is also a master of the stagnation period in it, this person is a big fish, he must know a lot of secrets of the Changping Palace, and His Majesty must be extremely interested. If this matter is done well, it is a great achievement, and Qin Anhou's great achievements are not worth these achievements, but it is rare for our brothers to make such great contributions. In the backyard of the iron shop, at the entrance of the basement, Huang Baochang smiled and said to the marquis officials with glowing eyes.

After half a burnt incense, Wang Baochang took the secret account book, escorted the captured seven men of the sledgehammer iron shop, one account room, and twenty-one black-clothed people left the sledgehammer iron shop, and came to the Houguan Mansion in the capital overnight, where there is a prison that can be called the most terrifying prison in the entire Great Sui, called Black Prison.

Wang Baochang wanted to pry open the mouths of these people overnight, cooperate with the secret ledger, and maximize the credit. And in this process, the torture methods that Wang Junlin showed in the sledgehammer iron shop have been learned by Wang Baochang and others, and draw inferences from one another, which is destined to play a great role in tonight's interrogation.

……

……

Early the next morning, the battle that took place at the sledgehammer iron shop at night, and the news that the sledgehammer iron shop was seized caused a sensation in the entire capital. All sorts of gossip followed.

In addition to the rumors that the sledgehammer ironshop secretly colluded with the Turks and sold them weapons. The most exaggerated rumor is that the sledgehammer iron shop was directly opened by the Turks, and last night it was the government that got the news to catch the Turkic spies.

However, the few people who really knew that behind the sledgehammer iron shop were the Changping Palace, they kept silent and waited to see how things developed.

In the early morning of the next day, before the previous dynasty, Du Luoge, the commander of the Houguan Mansion, took Huang Baochang to secretly report their harvest to Emperor Yang Jian and presented the secret account book.

After Yang Jian read the evidence presented by the Hou Guanfu, he was furious on the spot and directly overturned the desk, but he didn't make any statement on the spot, but he gritted his teeth with hatred: "Qiu Rui, you saved my life, and you made great achievements back then, but how long do you want me to endure you?" ”

Du Luoge and Huang Baochang lowered their heads and did not answer, and after half a ring, Yang Jian's face returned to calm and said, "Huang Baochang has done a good job this time and has made great contributions. When this matter is completely concluded, I will have a reward. ”

When Huang Baochang heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Yang Jian waved his hand, flattened him, and said, "You guys go down!" ”

Du Luoge and Huang Baochang bowed down, and then retreated.

"Later, if Wang Junlin deals with Yue Guogong again, without the old man's order, no one is allowed to mobilize to help him." As soon as Du Luoge went out, he instructed Huang Baochang.

Huang Baochang hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty respectfully obeys the orders of your lordship. ”

After Du Luoge finished speaking, he turned around and left, Huang Baochang looked at Du Luoge's old but dangerous figure, thoughtful.

In the palace, Yang Jian picked up the account book and the evidence submitted by the Hou Guanfu from the table, read a few pages carefully, sighed, and muttered: "It seems that I treat these old guys too favorably. However, Wang Junlin, this kid, actually put the Houguan Mansion in front and hid himself behind him, which is not good. ”

"Come, give these things to Wang Junlin, and let him bring these things to the court. Tell him that he cured the queen of insomnia yesterday, and that I will reward him heavily. Yang Jian hesitated slightly, and then instructed the left and right attendants.

Wang Junlin received Yang Jian's order to let him participate in the court meeting early in the morning, looked at the secret ledger and the booklet that were sent back to him, thinking about the words that Yang Jian asked the inner eunuch to pass on to him, he couldn't help but write bitterly, he was not qualified and capable of refusing any of the emperor's will.

"Shen Guang, you will find a way to go to the city now to spread the news, just say that the sledgehammer iron shop colluded with the northern Khitans and Turks, secretly sold a lot of weapons to the Turks and Khitans, and supported these northern savages to kill the people of the Great Sui. It is also said that the big man behind the sledgehammer iron shop has a heart of disobedience and wants to collude with the Turks and Khitans to rebel. After Wang Junlin pondered for a while, he called Shen Guang and commanded. Since Yang Jian wanted to directly confront Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, he had to take this opportunity to hit Qiu Rui as hard as possible, and it was best to put him in prison, or even destroy his family.

"I understand the lowly position, so I will go and prepare for this." Shen Guang agreed, then turned around and left quickly.

……

……

There is news from the palace that His Majesty was too late to accompany the queen last night, so today's court meeting will be pushed back by half an hour.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the hour that a bell rang in the Hanyuan hall, and Yang Jian, the son of heaven of the Great Sui, sat on the dragon couch.

The court meeting officially began, and hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down to pay respects.

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

Yang Jian's face had regained his majesty and calmness, and he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, Aiqing is free of courtesy, let's start the court!" ”

The court meeting was presided over by Dugu Qingyun, the young eunuch in the palace, Dugu Qingyun was the younger brother of Queen Dugu, and his father Dugu Kai was the cousin of Dugu Jialuo's father Dugu Xin.

Duguqing said loudly: "The four topics of today's court meeting, first of all, discuss the matter of summer tax payment, which is proposed by He Tuo, the secretary of the household department......"

Whether it is the emperor or the courtiers below, they all know what happened in the sledgehammer iron shop last night, some people gloat, waiting to see the excitement, some people are worried, worried that this matter will implicate him, and some people clap their hands in their hearts, waiting for His Majesty's holy judgment.

However, Yang Jian's face did not have the slightest discoloration, and the court meeting was also carried out normally, and no one mentioned this matter. The only difference from the previous court meeting is that there is an additional Marquis of Qin An, Wang Junlin, in the middle of the military generals.

Facing the gaze of the civil and military officials next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Junlin directly chose to ignore it, and just stared blankly at the wat board in his hand, which was temporarily given to him by a little eunuch before the last dynasty. He was not a Beijing official, and although he had the title of Marquis of Qin An and the military rank of General Zhenyuan, he was not qualified to go to court before the Son of Heaven was summoned.

Soon, more than an hour passed, and today's four items on the agenda have been discussed. Then, at some point, suddenly the hall became silent.

"You Aiqing have something to start playing, and you have nothing to retreat." Yang Jian's gaze swept across the audience, paused slightly on Wang Junlin, and then said.

When Qiu Rui heard this, he was secretly glad in his heart, thinking that most of the secret ledgers had been destroyed by the shopkeeper, and among the people who were captured by the sledgehammer shop and those sent by his son, those who knew some things were his henchmen, and those who were not confidants did not know the secret things in the house. Thinking like this, Qiu Rui couldn't help but secretly breathe a long sigh of relief, and his heart was even more relieved.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Junlin suddenly came out of work, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Qiu Rui for fornicating with the enemy country, with ill intentions and disobedience. ”

As soon as Wang Junlin said this, there was an uproar in the hall, thinking that he had finally come.

Qiu Rui's heart froze, he turned his head to look at Wang Junlin angrily, and shouted angrily: "Wang Junlin, you don't want to spew blood, it's nonsense!" ”

Wang Junlin didn't even look at Qiu Rui, he didn't hurry to take out an account book and a booklet from his arms, held them on both sides, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has evidence here, and Your Majesty will see it at a glance after reading it."

Qiu Rui stared at the things in Wang Junlin's hand, but his face changed. At this time, a eunuch came down and presented the account book and pamphlet to Yang Jian, Yang Jian pretended to look at it for a while, his expression was furious, and the account book and pamphlet in his hand were thrown at Qiu Rui's feet below, looking at Qiu Rui with sharp eyes, and shouted: "Qiu Rui, look at the good things you have done." ”

Although all the civil and military officials knew what happened in the sledgehammer iron shop last night, after all, there were only a few people who knew the specific inside story, and now Wang Junlin said ambiguously, and Yang Jian directly asked the guilt, so many people were confused. But seeing His Majesty's anger, he knew that Qiu Rui's crime was probably not light.

Qiu Rui didn't give up, he picked up the account book and pamphlet with a panicked face and looked at it, his face changed greatly, his body staggered, but his heart had sunk to the bottom, and he immediately knelt down to Yang Jian and said: "Your Majesty, it is true that the sledgehammer iron shop is the industry of the minister's mansion, but the specific operation is taken care of, and the minister never asks, and the people below take care of it." So these things, minister...... The minister didn't know that after the minister returned, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and hand over all the people involved to the criminal department for impartiality. ”
