Chapter 166: Ran Xin investigates the traitorous party
Li Gang hurried to Genyue Palace after the morning of the second day, which has now become the place where Huizong lived in his old age. Although he listens to the sound of the piano every day, he can't help but feel depressed all day long! Seeing Li Gang coming in a hurry, his heart throbbed!
"What good news does the prime minister bring?"
"Back to the emperor, the minister does have a table to play, but there is no other way for a while, so I can only come to the emperor first! See how you decide. ”
"Say it quickly, don't go around."
"That's ......"
After Li Gang finished speaking, he took out the letter written by the princess. After reading the letter, Huizong said: "I can't wait, can you go and call that Ran Xin, I will invite Huan'er to come, canonize it in person, and call the world!" ”
Li Gang shook his head, "The emperor and endure for two more days, today the minister has revealed the news to Pang Xuan outside the palace gate, see what Ran Xin will do next, and we will wait for him for three days." ”
Huizong slapped his hands on the table and sighed: "It's a pity! Lord Zhang has resigned from the Imperial City Division, otherwise I can ask him to help, alas! ”
Li Gang said heavily: "Emperor! Let him pass the past, let's start with the present, and do as much as we can. ”
Ran Xin and Wei Pan came to the outside of the forbidden army barracks, which was close to the palace and was inhabited by various low-level military attachés such as priests, governors, governors, and so on. The moment Pang Xuan walked out of the palace gate, they followed him here.
There was a jewelry store across the street, and when I entered the door, the shopkeeper immediately asked what he wanted. Wei Pan hurriedly greeted him and echoed his words......
Taking advantage of this juncture, Ran Xin went up to the second floor, and there were some collectibles on the second floor. Xiao Er followed up and asked him what he liked, he could introduce them one by one. He pointed to the delicate woodworking jewelry box and said, "This looks good." ”
"Guest officer, you really have an eye, this thing was handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and it has a history of hundreds of years."
Ran Xin was actually in no mood to look at this, he looked out the window at the people in the forbidden army compound. It's really a coincidence that there is no book, Pang Xuan was walking towards the gate of the courtyard at this time. Ran Xin hurriedly said: "I'm sorry little brother, I'm suddenly in a bit of a hurry, and I'll come back to cheer again." After saying that, he hurried downstairs.
Downstairs, he hugged Wei Pan and said, "We'll come back later." Then he went out from the back.
This Pang Xuan is very interesting, he is going around the street, constantly going around, turning his head to look behind him from time to time... This was clearly seen by Ran Xin behind him, and it was clear that there was a ghost in his heart! Finally, I finally saw him enter a deep mansion compound. Ran Xin walked over and looked up, and it read: "Taikang Liang Mansion." ”
He turned around and walked up to Wei Pan and said, "You are staring here, I'll inquire." ”
He didn't dare to inquire about anyone, and trotted all the way into Li Gang's "Renhe Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
At this time, Li Gang had just returned from Huizong, and Ran Xin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Taikang Liang Mansion?" ”
"What did you find?" Li Gang shuddered when he heard this.
"Tell me, sir!"
"That's Captain Liang Shicheng's mansion."
At this time, Ran Xin was a little eyebrow-raising, and said: "I want to detain and interrogate this Pang Xuan in private, I don't know what you think, my lord?" ”
He exclaimed, "Where are you going to take him?" ”
Ran Xin thought for a while, and then said, "How about I take him to the Heyuan Inn?" ”
Li Gang waved his hand and said, "No!" The forbidden army of the capital is full of their minions, and that will bring disaster to the Heyuan Inn! So, do you know the Genyue Royal Garden? ”
"I just stopped outside the door, and I never went in." Ran Xin nodded and said.
"Good! You listen to me, you bring people there, His Majesty the Emperor is inside, and no one dares to make a mistake! It just so happened that the emperor wanted to see you, so you took this opportunity to make a surprise trial overnight! ”
Ran Xin drove a carriage and came to Bentai Kangliang Mansion. When he saw Wei Pan, he asked, "What about people?" ”
"Brother Ran, they went to the Huijun Bridge, which seems to be a big barracks."
"Go, get in the car, wait for him to go."
Pang Xuan actually heard Li Gang say that there were reinforcements outside the city to unite to break the enemy. But these 50,000 horses have not been announced as generals after Du Jie's death, and they always feel that there is something unrealistic, so they came to Liang Shicheng to ask for directions.
Liang Shicheng blamed him for not coming to his house without authorization, so he simply went to the Huijun Bridge to show that he was upright!
In fact, if one lie is used to cover another lie, the lie will grow bigger and bigger, and eventually it will be exposed. After Liang Shicheng watched the drill at the Junqiao School, he took the first step and went to Wang Fu's mansion to drink tea. Of course, Wang Fu is also one of the traitors, which laid a heavy foundation for him to lose his life in the future.
In the evening, Pang Xuan, escorted by several generals, walked out of the Huijunqiao campus. He had only two guards with him, and he was going back to the forbidden barracks. Wei Pan drove the carriage in advance and waited on the way to them, with Ran Xin following alone. Pang Xuan was a soldier, and he already felt that someone was following him, but he still continued to swagger forward quietly.
After passing through Luoguxiang and about to turn into Jinyao Street, Pang Xuan stopped. Without turning his head, he asked, "My friend can show up, what do you have to say in person?" ”
A voice came from the shadows: "Tell your two henchmen to go away, I don't want to kill!" ”
Pang Xuan fought a cold war! I looked at the left and right followers. And he said, "Friend, this joke is a bit big, isn't it?" ”
"Hmph, then let them die!"
As soon as the words fell, two darts "swished" and shot out......
The two attendants didn't even see where they were shooting, "Ahhhh
Pang Xuan was a little scared, and hurriedly said, "Friend, you... Why bother! ”
As soon as the words fell, a horse galloped behind him, and when he arrived, he didn't wait for Pang Xuan to turn around, and slammed his back with a knife......
Pang Xuan suddenly fell into a coma, Wei Pan drove over, quickly stuffed the three of them into the carriage, and ran to the Genyue Royal Garden with Ran Xin.
The good Genyue Garden has become a slaughterhouse like a pig-killing slaughterhouse! The howling and screaming are endless... Huizong shouted at the case: "Band, singing and dancing, all play for me!" ”
The heart-wrenching classical symphony plays a glorious movement......
Ran Xin was originally depressed about Dou Chi, especially Du Jie's death, and it was difficult to express his frustration for a long time! In addition, he was originally born as a gangster, and this time he finally seized an opportunity, how could he let it go! He really made a trick, not ordinary ruthless! He stuffed a wooden stick into Pang Xuan's back door early.
This Pang Xuan squeaked in pain and scolded wildly: "You beast! Kill me, ahhh......hhhhh
Ran Xin stirred the wooden stick again, how could Pang Xuan have experienced such a ruthless interrogation! His body was dripping with blood......
The stick didn't stir a few times, and he couldn't help shouting, "What do you want to know?" I'm recruiting, am I recruiting all of them? ”
Ran Xin motioned to Wei Pan to prepare his pen and ink, Wei Pan had never seen this formation, he was already trembling with fright, and he couldn't hold the pen!
"Eat it, make it color! Come, and if he is not honest, move the stick. Ran Xin reprimanded.
Wei Pan walked up to him with a trembling body and said, "Brother Ran, you... I'm a bit ......"
"Can't you move a stick? Do you want me to find a three-year-old to help you? ”
"Yes, Brother Ran, I know."
Ran Xin walked to the desk and picked up the pen, and said: "Say, what do you know, say it all, if you miss a word, you will look good!" ”
Pang Xuanhan began to speak slowly like a rain of beans......
After Ran Xin's interrogation, he pressed Pang Xuan's fingerprint, and immediately turned around and went to the hall of Huizong. Huizong saw him coming, and immediately waved his hand to stop the vocal song and dance.
Seeing that everyone went down, Ran Xin asked, "No one, right, the emperor?" ”
Huizong laughed and said: "I can see that you are very careful, there is no one, just the two of us." By the way, I'm not an emperor now, you can call me an emperor. ”
Ran Xin didn't say much, he didn't answer, he took the confession and presented it, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Pang Xuan's confession, you look at it first." ”
Huizong turned the page and looked at it quickly......
Pang Xuan, born in Chongning for four years, a native of Shaanxi, enlisted in the army in three years of Xuanhe. When he conquered Liao, he was Cai Sheng's subordinate, and he had a small military exploit, and he was appreciated and reused by Cai Sheng. During Cai Sheng's tenure as the commander of the infantry army, he often helped Cai Sheng and the Cai family to do some illegal things, and there were countless of them. The Cai family fell, because he knew that he had bad deeds in the past, so he colluded with the officials and nobles in order to protect himself, so Cai Sheng was not implicated in losing his official position.
However, the favor owed must be repaid after all, Yan Qing came to Beijing to put forward five suggestions to the emperor, the first of which was for the eunuchs. Liang Shicheng wanted to kill Yan Qing with his own hands, but the people he sent failed to achieve his goal.
Du Jie was entrusted by the emperor to be reused, and Liang Shicheng learned from the eunuchs in the palace that night. He knew that if 50,000 horses were to change generals, it would be the greatest danger to the forbidden army! passed the matter to the Tai Lieutenant Gao Yu, who was also the leader of the forbidden army. So Gao Yu found me (Pang Xuan) to eradicate Du Jie, but I was terrified because I cooperated with Liang Shicheng in the first attempt to assassinate Yan Qing! Immediately shirked it.
It is not yet known which sect leader in the forbidden army Gao Yu assigned. After the incident came out, Gao Yu was afraid of the East Window Incident, so he voluntarily went to Jiangnan to serve as the Jiangdong Town Envoy. All the sins of the criminal minister Pang Xuan were committed during the Cai Sheng period.
Cai Sheng did not dare to indulge himself too much because he had an unstable foothold. Of course, the emperor asked me to transfer troops to Shaanzhou for training, and I really wanted to leave and follow Yan Qing to train there. Without thinking about a few twists and turns, I returned to the capital, which I really didn't expect.
Huizong looked at this confession in shock, and he went from anxiety to irritability, and then to fear! It turned into disappointment again! He crouched in front of the case and deeply regretted and reflected: "It's all to blame for my negligence in employing people in my early years, which caused the rebels and thieves to play with the court and run rampant in the world." I'm sorry for my ancestors and ancestors, and I'm sorry for this splendid country! ”
After a while, Huizong asked: "Can this case be investigated to the end?" ”
"Back to the emperor, if it is in peacetime, it can indeed be checked. But now that we are in a national crisis, I'm afraid it will ......," Ran Xin replied.
"What if I want to get to the bottom of it?" Huizong asked again.
"Emperor, it's not impossible, it is estimated that the end has not been found, and Ran Xin has already died in Jiuquan! Because this is about the Great Song Dynasty, if the root that is pulled out in the end shakes the national body! At that time, Ran Xin will be to blame! ”
Huizong nodded and said, "I can see that you are young, but you are very calm!" ”
Huizong asked again: "What do you think about the matter of external cooperation here?" ”
"Emperor, now I really need a plan to cooperate with my family boss to make things easier."
Huizong nodded and said, "What do you think of handing over these 50,000 people to you?" ”
"The emperor, it's not Ran Xin's resignation, it's really because he is just a person who does specific things, leading the troops in command, not Ran Xin's strength."
Huizong sighed: "Then who can this leader rely on, this matter is not trivial!" If the wrong person is used again, then wouldn't my Great Song Dynasty want to destroy the country! ”
"Emperor, in the opinion of a villain, you might as well consider your relatives in this extraordinary period, maybe someone can take responsibility."
"What do you mean?"
Ran Xin replied again: "Derong Emperor Ji came to Beijing with the boss this time, the villain knows that she has traveled around with Master Zhang since she was a child, and she also has a lot of attainments in literature and martial arts, maybe it would be more appropriate to choose her?" ”
Huizong laughed: "My eldest Song Erlang is all dead, and in the end, I have to rely on a girl!" ”
"Emperor, this is just an expedient measure that the villain thought of for a while, if there is anything wrong with consideration, I hope ......"
Huizong waved his hand, "You might as well do it, I still have so many sons!" After I communicate with Huan'er tomorrow, I'll make a decision. ”
Ran Xin said again: "Emperor, time does not wait for anyone, I will release a message to people outside the city, and I will only wait for three days." ”
"Well, after noon tomorrow, you come again, and I'll make a decision for you."
Ran Xin added: "This matter is a top secret, it is related to winning or losing the war, and I hope that the emperor will ...... you."
Huizong waved his hand again, "I understand, this time your heart is in your belly." Okay, it's too late, you step down. ”
"Ran Xin retired." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall quickly, heading towards the gate of Genyue.
