In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), February 20, three watches in the middle of the night.

Wu Kang sat up violently, his eyes widened, his chest rose and fell, he gasped for breath, and he had that nightmare again. Since the night of the third day of the new year, the seven fairies of the demon woman have two corpses, and the nightmare has come. I always dreamed of a bloody baby, floating in the air to ask for his life, the knife healed automatically, and the fire did not help. I ran away in my dream, and I couldn't escape.

The mood is quite depressed, damn little ghost, your irresponsible mother, pregnant to take revenge, I can't be killed, right? Besides, it was Chu Shenke who shot her, don't you understand that there is a debtor and a master, what are you pestering me to do?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more my brows tightened, and the more irritable I became. February passed immediately, and I have been hiding from being a turtle with a shrunken head, and I am almost crazy. The Du family did not move, and the thirty-eight gamblers were temporarily detained, and they did not have time to be tried and convicted. They come from big families, which one doesn't matter the connections?

The family members showed their powers, looking for a relationship with the door, and wanted to get people out of the cell. Listening to Xiucai, Lao Cui and Lao Lu closed their doors, and the five major soldiers dug three feet into the ground in order to find me. Other colleagues, including three pension officers, were looking for my hiding place.

According to historical records, Chang'an at this time should be full of wind and rain. Lao Lu's report letter was sent away on the fourth day of the junior high school, and there is news soon. The calves continued to make trouble, and when it was time to settle the score, the storm was coming.

Graceful and delicate, the mandarin duck embroidered handkerchief is attached to the forehead, slowly wiping the cold sweat. Wu Kang closed his eyes and let the embroidered cloth wander away, letting it soothe his anger. Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door, and Qian Shun anxiously reported: "Is Gong Wu awake, Gong Cui sent someone to send a message to ask you to go to the state government immediately." ”

Is it finally here Wu Kang smiled instantly, lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, glancing at the hourglass on the table, about three o'clock. Covering his mouth and yawning, he rubbed his eyes and commanded outside the house: "It's all right now, let the brothers wait a while... Don't wear this, wear that scarlet robe. ”

Get dressed, tie your hair in a bun, and stride away with a horizontal knife. When he opened the door and saw Qian Shun, the knife hung on his waist and went out of the threshold, and there was a call from the house. Wu Kang stopped, Qian Shun hurriedly left, and closed the courtyard door casually. Qin Niang trotted over, hung the whitebait bag on his belt, and hurried back to the room.

When you come to the alley, step on the stirrups and get on the horse, pull the reins and clamp the horse's belly. The bodyguards followed, and for a moment the horse's hooves roared. Dongming Road was very lively, and bad people, militiamen, government officials, etc., hurriedly ran to the school grounds. I immediately made up my mind, and the plan was successful.

I can't help but complain in my heart, the president is afraid of rebellion. Wuzhou is at least 3,000 miles away from Chang'an, and the report letter was sent at the beginning of the fourth year, and the letter was withdrawn today, just 16 days, 500 miles urgently. Riding a horse to the gate of the yamen, the school field was full of people, with guys pinned to their waists, and the captain of the regimental training team maintained order in Qiqi.

When the head of the guard team, Cheng Cheng, saw the salute, Wu Kang turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins to him. Raising his eyes to look at the entrance of the yamen, the four old foxes who had not arrived had been waiting for a long time. The heart said that since you have sent it to the door, you deserve to be killed, and you will act according to the plan.

Striding past, saluting each other, they came to Si Gong to join the army, leaned over and whispered: "Wang has been waiting for a long time, your share has already been prepared, guard against the haunted house on Xinglan Street, hurry up and send someone to get it." Uncle Wang, I wanted to send it to you for a long time, but Jiuniang was not happy... I prepared it quietly, you have to take this love! ”

Wang Linrui's old face suddenly smiled chrysanthemums, with mockery in his eyes, you are a soft egg who is afraid of guilt. Patted Wu Kang on the shoulder twice, strode away without saying a word, went to the west of the yamen, and notified the servant to hurry up and get the money. He came back with square steps, smiled without a trace, and walked into the yamen with his hands behind his back.

Wu Kang's old tricks were repeated, and the other three soldiers also climaxed, and each notified the servants to pull money, and Mei Zizi went back to the second hall for a meeting. Those who see the money and the goods are open, wait for bad luck! Turning around and scanning the school grounds, he beckoned Jiang Daniu to come over, and commanded in a low voice: "Give you a task, send all the four servants just now, and think of excuses for yourself." In addition, communicate with Yu Qi, like this..."

After the explanation, I walked into the state office, and when I came to the second hall, I found that my colleagues had arrived. Smiled and hugged his fists in a salute, said a few perfunctory greetings, and returned to his seat.

Soon Cui Yixuan came, the venue was silent, everyone was sitting in danger, and Lao Cui said lightly: "Half an hour ago, I received an official document from the imperial court, and the matter is very important, so I called you to come and discuss it." The scribe closes the door, and the meeting begins now. ”

took out the first official document and read it out in a frustrated tone, like a bombshell, and the venue instantly exploded. Colleagues were either stunned on the spot, or exchanged heads, but Wu Kang breathed a sigh of relief. There is no deviation in history, but Sister Gao Yang still rebelled.

The young lady really made it, President Li spoiled her, referring to the love of Xuanling's second son in the marriage room. But she likes little fresh meat, doesn't like rough men, and works with debate masters. The jade pillow case happened, the master was beheaded, and Sister Yang held a grudge, even if the old president died, she would not be sad.

In October last year, he continued to do the great cause of death, and falsely accused him of being rude to himself in order to win the title of the eldest brother's posthumous title. After investigation, President Li Jiu reprimanded, and Sister Yang hated it even more, and actually wanted to lift Li Jiu's desk, going further and further on the road to death.

instigated Fang's bereaved love, colluded with Xue Wanche (Princess Danyang Concubine), Chai Lingwu (Princess Danyang Concubine), and wanted to serve King Jing Li Yuanjing as president. The matter was leaked, and the eldest grandson Wuji interrogated. Fang Yiai wanted to make meritorious contributions, but knowing that Wuji was at odds with Li Ke, the king of Wu, he falsely claimed to have conspired with Li Ke.

Brother Cuckold has not achieved enough, has more than failed, and his wishful thinking has failed. On the thirteenth of this month, President Li Jiu ordered to kill his beloved, Xue Wanche, and Chai Lingwu, and give Li Yuanjing, Li Ke, Gao Yang, and Baling princesses to commit suicide. Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, insisted on losing his Sili and his wife, because of his iron relationship with the cuckold brother, he was exiled to Lingnan, and he was dismissed from the house Xuanling.

Sigong Lao Wang's voice interrupted Wu Kang's thoughts, and the old boy couldn't sit still and asked to go to the thatched house. Lao Cui nodded in agreement, and the other three were not calm, and also asked for a compliment. Lao Cui was stunned, what is wrong with this, and he also formed a group to go to the toilet?

Looking at the hurried back, Wu Kang almost laughed out loud, they were either in a hurry or in a hurry. At this moment, fools understand that the Du family is involved. Teacher Lirong said well, the radish is stained with the "palace" to increase the price, and the copper coin is stained with "rebellion" fatal.

Knowing that the Du family was involved in the rebellion, and still going to share the stolen money from his family, what do you want to do? Wu Kang is complacent, this pit is dug beautifully, the time difference is perfect, and he is not afraid that you will not cooperate. Your servant was sent away by me, I confessed to the seventh, and the three guards of the legal yamen, no one passed on to you, so admit that you are unlucky.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the four foxes to come back, their faces were like constipation, and they came from time to time. Wu Kang was sitting in danger, looking at his nose and nose, full of schadenfreude, and continued to wander the world.

Sister Yang's actions hit the history books with an instant hit and ended up with a dirty reputation. However, the social atmosphere is like this, and the relationship between men and women is too chaotic. For example, Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of Tang Xuanzong, sent an envoy to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for two years, and when he returned to Chang'an, he had many sons inexplicably.

The explanation given by the daughter-in-law was that she met him in a dream and became pregnant. Yang Guozhong was very happy, named his cheap son, and invited friends to celebrate. As the prime minister of a country, he won't be stupid to that extent, but people just don't care. The title of dirty Tang stinky man is not shouted casually.

The more Wu Kang thought about it, the more coke he became, and the more obscene his smile became. Suddenly, my head hurt, and in an instant, my soul returned to my shell, and a pen fell in front of my eyes. was being watched by his colleagues, and then looked at Lao Cui's burning eyes, and hurriedly sat down.

Cui Yixuan snorted and continued to read out, roughly meaning: Lao Cui, Lao Lu and Wu Kang secretly investigated the Du family and found that the Du family used gambling houses to collect money, and with the help of the princess and nurse, they provided funds for the rebellion. President Li Jiu ordered that all the men of the Du family be beheaded, and all the female dependents were enslaved.

My colleagues were all surprised, looking at Wu Kang like a monster, this kid was lucky, I thought that he would lose his official position and resign, but he would soar into the sky. Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Bing, and Si Gong joined the army, all of their faces were black into the bottom of the pot, and they gave him a thumbs up.

Wu Kang was content and continued to wander. Lao Lu received Wu Kang's letter, discussed with Lao Cui, and urgently wrote a letter to denounce it for 500 miles. At that time, the fate of the Du family was realized. It doesn't matter at all whether you participated in the rebellion or not, and no one worries about the charges.

No matter which president handles the rebellion, he is a soldier, and he would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. Even Li Jiu's brother Li Ke and Wang Uncle Li Daozong slaughtered and exiled without real evidence, which onion is the Du family?

The imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, and Wu Kang's fourth uncle was promoted to Zhengzhou, Henan Province; The old Lu Jiaerlang, promoted to Weishi County, Bianzhou, Henan Province; Approve Lao Wei's resignation, a reward of 10,000 gold, and 20 pieces of silk cloth.

Colleagues said goodbye one after another, and Lao Lu glanced at Wukang with deep meaning and expressed gratitude. It didn't take long for him to hear congratulations again, Wu Kang hurriedly followed the crowd, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations..."

The situation is not right, the eyes of colleagues are weird, Cui Yixuan's face is black, Wu Kang is inexplicable, what's the matter?

Lao Lu hurriedly played a round: "Erlang, I heard that you always have nightmares, you didn't sleep yesterday, and you can still wander when you are promoted... The imperial court appointed you to serve as a military officer in Wuzhou. Temporarily join the army on behalf of the judiciary, and when the new recruits arrive, they will be handed over immediately. ”

Wu Kang was overjoyed, he finally made progress and was finally promoted. stood up and patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the wrong love of the court, and thank you for the support of your colleagues." Without your care, without me today, I don't say anything, I just drink at my house. ”

The venue erupted in good-natured laughter, and Lao Cui was also very satisfied, leisurely brushing his beard. Waiting for the venue to be quiet, he pondered for a moment and said: "The old man occasionally feels cold, and he is fully responsible for the law enforcement matters of the Du family. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was envious, this is for the praise of the virtuous son-in-law. Cui Yixuan got up, patted Wu Kang on the shoulder, took a letter from his sleeve, handed it to him, and left with his hands behind his back.

Juanxiu's handwriting, written "Kang Lang personally opened", sealed with fire paint. Since the last time I replied to the letter of allegiance, Sister Wu had a demonic obstacle and gave him the nickname "Kang Lang", which is both sensitive and ambiguous.

Lao Lu also stood up, waved at everyone, and said with a smile: "The old man is idle and wild, and it is inconvenient to attend the meeting, so I will leave." I wish you all good luck! ”

Everyone got up and saluted, and Wu Kang went out to see him off. When he came to the door, Lao Lu praised: "In the year of Erlang's weak crown, he started from a bad handsome man and was promoted to a record officer to join the military, and my uncle admired him very much." Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, no one is around Erlang, and the future is limitless! ”

Wu Kang hurriedly humbled himself and greeted him with a smile. In fact, I am only nineteen, one year away from the weak crown. Similar to the ID card, the age is overreported, and when he was promoted to the judiciary and joined the army, Lao Cui was two years old, and the official age was twenty-one.

Lao Lu changed his words, sighed and said: "There are some things that my uncle shouldn't say, seeing that Liuniang is getting thinner and thinner, my uncle is very sad." Jiro has time to persuade... Forget it, uncle won't embarrass you. ”

How can I persuade me, the last time the party participated in the incident, Cui Xiaoqing demolished my house. In later generations, I was the No. 8 spare tire, why did the flowers bloom in the Tang Dynasty? What does Liuniang like about me, can't I change it?

Waiting for Lao Lu's back to disappear, he turned around and entered the conference room, and on the way back to his seat, he was pulled by his sleeve. Lao Wei's eyes signaled, they all joined the army, and sat in the second position. Wu Kang was also not polite, and sat up with a swagger.

Raising his eyes and looking around at everyone, he found an interesting scene, his colleagues were friendly, and the four old foxes had sad faces. Wu Kang was too lazy to talk nonsense, arranged the work first, and went straight to the point: "Thanks to Cui Gong, I will hand over the law enforcement Du family to me, and I hope you will work together to handle this errand." ”

began to give orders: "Yu commanded the envoy, with the seal of the law and the official of the government, led the militia group, the bad guards, and the yawei to start the action quickly. Surround the old house of the Du family, and you are not allowed to enter but not to go out. From Du Qiming to Du Mei, four generations of immediate family members were all arrested. ”

Yu Hongzhi promised, received the official seal of the law, and left in a hurry. The sound of horses' hooves and noisy footsteps sounded in the school field, and the catastrophe of the Du family began. Wu Kang couldn't help but slander, I swept your gambling house and made a mortal enmity. It's either you die or I'm dead, and I don't want to die, so I'm sorry.

When it was quiet outside, he continued to give orders: "Si Cangsun joined the army and instructed the Cangya city officials to seal all the Dujia shops in Wuzhou City. Issued an official document to assist in the investigation, sent city officials to the counties, and the county magistrates cooperated, registered and made a register, and transported back to Wuzhou City. ”

Sun Yingyuan promised, and Wu Kang continued to instruct: "Sihu Sun joins the army and transfers all the Du family's land deeds, Yongye fields, and house deeds." After checking the Du family's deed and approving it, it will be returned to the household for archiving. ”

looked at Si Gong to join the army, and said with a smile: "The king of labor joins the army, consult the imperial examination documents, and all those who have meritorious names in the Du family will be dismissed." Another point is that in this operation, the propaganda work must be in place. It is not advisable to punish without teaching, and it is necessary to let the people know what crime the Du family has committed and what kind of punishment they have received. ”

Wang Senjun replied: "Wu Gong is reasonable! I drafted the notice list, and after Wu Gong previewed it, I sent a scribe to post it. There are 30 cards in the city, and none of them will fall. ”

There's no need to hand it over to me to read, your writing throws me a few streets. Wu Kang pursed his lips and instructed two to record and three to join the military, "You accompany Wei to join the army, record the law enforcement process, count the Du family's property, and register and send it to me for reference." ”

I was asked to think about it carefully, and I felt that there was nothing missing, and asked everyone: "Colleagues, do you have anything to add?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook their heads helplessly.

Their entanglement, Wu Kang knew that the root of the disease was betting on gamblers, and he was arrested in the Dujia gambling house, and there was a lot of articles in it. Colleagues didn't dare to plead, because no one knew what these people had to do with the Du family?

How to deal with them, Wu Kang has already made a plan, and it is inconvenient to say it at this moment. His eyes swept over everyone, and he smiled: "Since there is no addition, let's start acting and dismiss the meeting!" ”

Get up and leave, leaving everyone looking at each other. The old foxes exchanged briefly, and they all shook their heads helplessly. Wei Dingzhou came late, and he had little entanglement with big households, so he spoke first: "You are worried about the sky, Duke Wu is a smart person, he will definitely give us face, and he will not be sentenced to prison." ”

Wang Linrui shook his head: "Without Princess Gaoyang's rebellion, it would be over." But not now, they were arrested in the Dujia gambling house, and if we were a military member, we would all be sentenced. ”

Sun Yingyuan smiled and said, "Everyone, we don't need to have a headache, Erlang is the most headache." sentenced according to law and offended a large number of squires; If the sentence is not in accordance with the law, the person is given the authority. Let him have a headache himself, let's not worry about it. ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and everyone smiled, and praised Lao Sun one after another. It was unanimously decided to continue to perfunctory pleas for the squire, and throw out the hot potato.

The rooster crows for three minutes, the day has dawned, Wuzhou City began to be lively, Jinhua Road Dujia compound, the sound of dog barking, driving the dogs of the whole street.

Soon the Du family dog was silent, and the head of the family, Du Qiming, was woken up, got up very angry, and shouted and scolded outside the door: "Which cheap maid is outside, strangle those dogs to death." ”

didn't respond three times, Lao Du blew his beard and glared, lifted the quilt and walked on crutches. I wondered in my heart, why are the maidservants who serve her life gone? Listening to the wailing and crying outside the door, the anger is even higher, these rude and cheap women should all be beaten to death.

At this moment the door was kicked open, and seven or eight servants broke in, and without saying a word, they knocked him down, and tied him with ropes. When he got out of the door, he finally came back to his senses, and screamed and scolded: "Tian Shenu is rude, the old man is the head of the Du family, and the granddaughter is the princess's nurse, you let go..."

He was thrown to the ground with a snap, his only front tooth was broken, and he screamed in pain. Lao Du raised his head in pain, and saw a nine-foot-tall official, wearing a crimson scarlet robe and hanging a silverfish bag, and scolded loudly: "Tian Shenu Wukang, you should die..."

slapped twice, Lao Du vomited blood directly, was lifted up entirely, spun in the air and faced backwards, and scolded: "Du Qiming, old man, your case has happened, open your dog eyes and see clearly." ”

When you see the picture in front of you, you can't faint. His own children and grandchildren, daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, slaves and maids, all tied up with flowers, all with long knives, kneeling in two columns. Stuffed rags in their mouths, tears streaming down their faces, and they didn't dare to move at all.

Jiang Da Niu reported: "Wu Gong Rongyu, because of Du Mei's affairs, the Du family is all in the old house. has experienced the correct body, and checked with the household documents, except for the part of going to Chang'an to send letters, all here. ”

Hehe, it's very cooperative! Wu Kang slowly stretched out his hand, took the order of the court, opened it and was about to read it, Lao Du sighed again: "My granddaughter is the princess and nurse, Tian Shenu..."

There were two more slaps, and then the rag gagged, and the world finally fell silent. Wu Kangjue is very funny, this is a big case of rebellion, not to mention the princess and the mother, not to mention the mother!

Shaking his head to open the official document, he cleared his throat and recited loudly: "Under the door: Du Jia, Wuzhou, Jiangnan Province, opened a gambling house to collect money, participated in the rebellion, and the evidence is ironclad. Author: Under Du Qiming, within four generations, the male was beheaded, and the female dependents were enslaved. Zhongshu Province: The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang. ”

The Du family went completely crazy and was quickly suppressed, escorted to the school grounds, and the executioner waited. Rebellion is the first of the ten evils, and it will be executed immediately without waiting for the autumn.
