103. [Explosion 1] Wind and rain in the Forbidden City
There is a way to not look for trouble if you have nothing to do, and not to be afraid of things when you have something. Actually, I really didn't want to find trouble, but they had to put my face up and let me hit it, and if I pretended not to understand and didn't kick my nose in the face, then I was not sensible.
After Su Qixian finished writing, he trembled and handed the confession to the nine ghosts Zhengxiao, and then handed it to me. I sat upright in the main hall, stared at him coldly, and then picked up the confession and read it carefully, back and forth, three times. I still feel uneasy, and I stared at the right thing again.
After reading it, I still didn't speak, but glanced at Su Qixian coldly again, and then waved my hand, letting people hold Su Qixian, dragging him like a dead dog in front of me and throwing him on the ground.
I condescended and asked him lightly: "I said, what you wrote and said, is everything you said true?"
Su Qixian's eyes were red, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth viciously and said, "It's them!" They are the ones who have done this to me! It's they who make me not human, ghost or ghost, and I naturally won't let them have a good time! I said what I should have said, and I said what I shouldn't! It's true! It's true! ”
I nodded, put together what he had written, called out to the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, and instructed: "Go to his house now and find out how many people, how many adults, how many children, how many men, how many women, how many direct relatives, and how many side relatives." Find out his nine clans! Don't miss a single ......"
I stared at Su Qixian's eyes and sneered, "You should know my methods." I can make the entire army go up in smoke, and naturally I can also make the life of your nine clans worse than death! So, you should pray to yourself not to forget what is! ”
Su Qixian's face was like ashes, and his lips couldn't stop moving. I continued to laugh and said, "I used some means on the battlefield, and as a result, there were many rumors in the Beijing Division that I was cruel and murderous, and some people even shouted the titles of 'Sun Shaved Head' and 'Widow Making Machine'!" Ridiculous, you say? I have been faithful to my kingdom, but they have said of me."
I rolled what he wrote into a bucket, patted his face lightly, and said with a smile: "So I hope you respect yourself and don't let me add another title of 'Sun Annihilation'." You tell me? ”
Su Qixian kowtowed vigorously, and cried repeatedly, I definitely don't dare, please raise my noble hand! There is an eighty-year-old mother on it, a baby waiting to be fed, and he doesn't dare to borrow a hundred guts from him, so I will treat him as a fart and let him go.
The list goes on and on, and it's wonderful. For the first time, I knew that there were so many tricks in confession, and I listened to it with relish for a while.
When he said he was tired, I smiled, picked up the tea bowl in my hand, took a shallow sip of tea and said, "Then it depends on how you behave!"
Su Qixian said that he would do his best. For a moment there was no sound in the room.
After a short time, the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao strode into the door and said to me: "Sir, we went to Su's house and invited the housekeeper to come out, he didn't say anything at first, we gave him some sweetness, he has completely confessed, and the situation of Su Qixian's family has been basically mastered!"
Hearing the word housekeeper, Su Qixian's sweat was like rain, I glanced at him coldly, and said to the nine ghosts without looking back: "Let's listen, who is in Master Su's family?"
The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao arched his hand and said, "There are a total of sixty-six people within Su Qixian's three suits, and most of them live around the Jingshi. Among them, there are 12 members of the immediate family. Both parents are still alive, three brothers and sisters, one wife and two concubines, two sons and two daughters, and ......"
Nine Ghost Zhengxiao glanced at Su Qixian and continued: "It is said that he ransomed a dusty woman in Qinhualou, raised him outside Xizhimen, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him!" I have arranged for someone to quickly investigate and report to you on this matter! Guaranteed not to miss one! ”
When Su Qixian heard this, he was completely stunned, and his body was cold! He didn't even think about why I could find this so quickly! As a Jinyi guard, he deeply knows the difficulty of doing this, and the housekeeper is greatly favored by himself, but he is afraid that he will not say it all, and most of it should be found out by the nine ghosts and political filial piety.
He had already heard that my subordinates secretly had a lot of power, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!
And I have a very good idea in my heart, in the past two years, I have asked the intelligence agencies of the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Mo to get them, which have spread all over the capital and surrounding provinces, and it is easy to find out about someone, let alone a little minion like him. It doesn't take much effort to make sure you find out how many times a night and what posture he is.
So I smiled and said, "Keep checking for me, don't let me down." In addition, we can arrange the manpower now, and there is no need to wait for me to give orders, but if there is a slight change or something I don't want to see...... You know what to do. ”
Nine Ghost Zhengxiao arched his hand and smiled: "Sir, don't worry, we are the most professional." After saying that, he turned his head and strode away.
Without waiting for me to speak, Su Qixian, whose face was pale, knelt down in front of me in a few steps and shouted, "Master Sun! Lord Sun! I forgot a sentence in the confession I just wrote! ”
I picked my ears and flicked my thumb and little finger at each other before I smiled and asked, "Oh! There is such a thing! So what's missing? ”
Su Qixian lowered his head, knelt on the ground and trembled, and said in a low voice: "Missing a sentence...... There is one sentence missing - the main messenger Zhang Siwei, a scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, is also! ”
I smiled and said, "Why did you forget about such an interesting thing?" You're too careless! I remember I warned you! ”
Su Qixian said in a cold sweat: "Xiao really forgot!" As soon as the adults reminded me, the little ones remembered. ”
I leaned forward slightly, approached his face, and asked him with a smile, "Then think about it again, what are you missing?"
Su Qixian's face changed again, and he almost cried and kowtowed: "It's a lot!" Not a lot! Definitely a lot! ”
My face cooled, I sat up straight, and said lightly, "It's still less." I am very kind, I will give you another pillar of incense time, and I want to write clearly, how Zhang Siwei instigated, who he instructed, how many days, when, where, how to say, what kind of human and material evidence, write down in detail. Su Qixian, I think you know, if there is one word missing......"
I looked at him fixedly, Su Qixian didn't dare to look at me, kowtowed, "I understand!" I know! ”
I looked at Su Qixian with my eyes, but I gritted my teeth and arranged for the people around me: "Prepare the horse, find a trailer, and after a stick of incense, I will pull these dogs outside and go to the noon gate to beat the drum and sound the grievances!" Let's sue the royal court! ”
Su Qixian's neck shrank, and he didn't dare to say half a word of nonsense, so he quickly knelt to the side to write......
Half an hour later, outside the gate of the noon court, the onlookers on the third and outer floors looked at me from afar, and after I got off the horse, I strode over, bent down and picked up the drum hammer, rounded my arms, and sounded the big drum that woke up the king and heard the four seas! After beating eighteen times in a row, he threw down the drum hammer and stood with his hands down!
It didn't take much effort, and a team of Imperial Forest Army came out of the gate at noon, the formation was as a whole, and the military appearance was very great! The leader is a guard with a knife in front of the four royal products, and I still know it, surnamed Xu.
Captain Xu led the team to come to me and looked at me, a little surprised. Then he asked loudly outside as usual: "Who is beating the drum in the royal family of Wuchaomen?"
I took a step forward and replied loudly, "It's none other than the subordinate Sun Qilan beating the drum."
Captain Xu walked a few steps and bowed his hand to me: "Master Sun has been absent for a long time!" Supposedly, you didn't win a great victory in Liaodong, why are you playing drums here? The latter are ......" said, and kept scanning his eyes at Su Qixian and the others behind me who were tied to the trailer.
I arched my hand and said: "Lord Xu, thanks to the Holy Hongfu, he won a great victory in Lower Liaodong, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and the rest were all expelled and scattered, and the disaster has been eliminated." So the lower officials went back to Beijing to report on their work, but as soon as they entered the door, they encountered these thieves who were in Jinyi Wei pretending to pass on the holy decree and committing murder. Under the first question, the matter was very involved, and the lower officials did not dare to make a mistake, so they beat the drum and shouted grievances and asked for a holy judgment! ”
This Xu guard has been forbidden in the palace for a long time, and he has already understood that this is a complication of Shoufu's critical illness. He knows that Shoufu is dedicated to the country, and he also knows that I am loyal, but what about the current situation......
So he took a deep look at me, sighed again and said, "Master Sun, the lower officials have great respect for you!" It's just that the road ahead is long, the mountains are high and the water is deep, and I hope that Lord Sun will take care of it! ”
I smiled and arched my hand and said, "In the water and fire, I also remember the benefits of Lord Xu!"
Guard Xu waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't dare!" Please wait here, and the next official will go in and pay tribute. ”
I arched my hand again and said, "There is Lord Lao Xu."
The chief of the guard Xu saluted with his fists, turned around and went in, and soon came out again, and told me loudly, the holy driver is known, and the matter is serious, and Sun Qilan, the deputy commander of Jizhou in the Qianqing Palace, will meet him! and entered the temple with the heads of the Xuan tribes in Beijing.
I thanked me and asked Su Qixian to go inside.
Chief Xu stretched out his hand to stop him, leaned up to me and asked in a low voice, "Lord Sun, are these people ......?"
I smiled and glanced at the others, "Oh! They! Not afraid of your jokes, they are tainted witnesses to the case".
Seeing that Guard Xu looked confused, I smiled and explained: "Oh, in other words, they are the perpetrators and witnesses to prove the mastermind!"
Captain Xu nodded and said with an embarrassed face: "I see! That's definitely going to go in. It's just this board car...... It seems a bit unorthodox! ”
I said yes with a smile, looked back at the brocade guards, and said coldly, "Did you hear it?" Do you want me to please? ”
A few brocade guards immediately climbed out of the car, knelt down in front of me, and dragged out the bloodstains on the ground! There was an uproar outside the door of the entire afternoon court.
I ignored others, looked back at Captain Xu, and laughed loudly: "I accidentally bumped into them when I asked them before, so it's okay!"
Chief Xu looked down at the few people who were blurred in flesh and blood, and was silent, what about the ghost in his heart? Did you hit it with a stormer? The worst of them is gone! I frowned, thought about it, and ordered my guards, two by one, to follow me to the palace.
I followed the royal forest army who led the way all the way to the Qianqing Palace, and there was naturally a search for something, and I was extremely cooperative, and after the ceremony, the great eunuch Feng Bao came out, looked at me expressionlessly, and screamed: "Xuanyi and other viscounts, the deputy commander of Jizhou, Sun Qilan, will meet you!"
After I saluted, I walked forward quickly, and stopped when I reached Feng Bao's side, this Zhang Juzheng's old partner took advantage of his back to the others, shielded by my body, and said with a low smile: "Good acting!"
I nodded, knowing that Feng Bao and Zhang Ju had already ventilated, and my heart was more stable, so I remained silent and entered the gate of the Qianqing Palace according to the etiquette.
After three bows and nine knocks, and long live, the voice of Zhu Yijun of the Mingshen Sect came: "Sun Aiqing is flat!"
I stood up, on my side. After a glance, Zhang Siwei stood at the top, and Zhang Juzheng was in the position, but there was no seat. Other official departments, military departments, criminal departments, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple and other departments are listed.
The little emperor Zhu Yijun looked radiant, and asked loudly: "Sun Aiqing, I heard that you won a great victory in Liaodong, why did you beat the drum at the noon gate to voice grievances?" What are the grievances? Quickly speaking, the widow will definitely call the shots for you! ”
I saluted and said, "Holy Wise! Thank you, Lord Longne! Tuo Sheng Shang Hongfu, the minister was in Liaodong, and General Li Chengliang joined hands to retreat the land and quickly put the department, the Jurchen Atai, and the Ahai department! All thieves are punished! Recently, the minister first returned to Beijing to report on his work, but unexpectedly, he ......"
I paused, then saluted again, "Holy! Qilan had the courage to bring witnesses, but he was afraid of shocking the holy driver, so he pleaded guilty first! ”
Zhu Yijun smiled: "I don't know how big a deal it is!" If you have witnesses, bring them to the temple. Aiqing is not guilty! ”
I saluted and said, "Yes!" glanced back at Guard Xu.
Guarding Xu clenched his fists, turned around and walked out of the palace gate, and after a while, let his subordinates drag a few brocade guards into the main hall.
"Boom"! The hall was boiling, and even Zhu Yijun stood up in shock! Zhang Siwei saw Su Qixian, his face changed, but Su Qixian hung his head low, trembling like chaff!
Zhang Siwei shouted: "Bold Sun Qilan! How dare you bring such an indecent person to the main hall and disturb the holy car! Don't drag it out yet! ”
I sneered: "Scholar Zhang, the Holy One has forgiven me for my innocence, why are you in a hurry?" Could it be that when he saw this person, Lord Zhang had a ghost in his heart? ”
Zhang Siwei's blue tendons jumped a few times on his forehead, and he said in a cold voice: "What the hell am I?" You're not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue! ”
I snorted and saluted Zhu Yijun and said, "Holy Wisdom, Rong Qilan reports the truth!"
Zhu Yijun's mood has slowly stabilized, and after sitting down, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Although Sun Aiqing said it, I will make the decision for you!" These words are generous.
After I thanked him, I told the truth of the matter, and as my words became deeper and deeper, the air in the temple became colder and colder! To my last sentence: The messenger, Zhang Siwei, a scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, is also! The hall suddenly exploded with a bang!
After arguing for a while, the palace army shouted and was quiet! The Qianqing Palace had just regained its quietness, and only whispers remained. Zhu Yijun stabilized his mind, and suddenly became a little annoyed, when Zhang Juzheng was in the past, how could he have been so chaotic! Zhang Juzheng is not here today, why did such a big strange thing happen?
After thinking about it, he looked down at me and asked, "What Sun Aiqing said is a big matter, but there is conclusive evidence!"
I arched my hand and said, "Back to the Holy Lord, the human certificate is right in front of you!"
As I spoke, I glanced back at Su Qixian, but this glance was full of cold crystal strength, and Su Qixian looked like a bucket of ice water poured on his head in the moon, trembling and speechless.
Zhu Yijun said: "Let him speak!"
I answered, "Yes!" As he spoke, he turned around and said lightly: "Say it!"
Su Qixian kowtowed a few times, trembled in response, and began to talk like and so on, from how Zhang Siwei found him through the waiter of the Criminal Department, how he bewitched him, how he made a promise, and how he forced him, all of them were clean. The words were like weeping, and everyone who heard them was shocked, but I secretly applauded in my heart when I heard it.
After he finished speaking, I took out Su Qixian's testimony and said: "Enlighten the saint, this thief who pretended to pass on the holy decree has written testimony before, which is no different from what he said!" I hope that the Holy Judgment will be made! ”
For a while, the air in the Qianqing Palace seemed to be frozen, and only the heavy breathing of a group of ministers remained!
Zhu Yijun looked at the testimony in my hand and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Submit it!" Let's take a look! ”
