Chapter Fifty-Nine: Cold Noodles and Cold Iron

"Papapa", looking at everyone's stunned eyes, Liu Tie raised his head slightly, raised his hand and slapped three palms.

As soon as the voice fell, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, Feng Xingjian, Tie Wuchen and others subconsciously touched their waists, but they felt empty, and then remembered that the waist knife was placed there by the entourage just now, and they didn't take it with them.

At this moment, a group of blue-clothed people poured in outside the door, all with cold faces, and the long knives in their hands flashed with cold light, and instantly surrounded the table. The sword flashed, forcing Feng Xingjian and the others to stop, unable to move.

"Lord Liu, what does this mean?" Although they were forced by the long knife, the four of them did not panic, and Feng Xingjian calmly wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked at Liu Tie.

Liu Tie smiled bitterly, and was just about to answer, when he heard a voice at the door: "The holy decree has arrived, Feng Xingjian, director of the Investigation Department, Qiao Hong, deputy director, Tie Wuchen, director of the Intelligence Department, and Kou Tianbo, deputy director, have received the order!" ”

Everyone looked back and found a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, a thin figure but a cold face walking in with a holy decree in his hand.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and listened to the middle-aged man say aloud: "

Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said:

In order to open up the Northeast and Korea, and fight for the living space of our Ming people, I personally went to Beijing and commanded the three armies to fight between the white mountains and black waters.

However, at the time of the bloody battle of the soldiers at the front, the rebellious ministers and thieves spread rumors, disturbed the hearts of the army and the people, and at the same time colluded with the Japanese to plot against the sky, which can be described as a heinous crime, and their hearts can be punished. The Investigation Department and the Intelligence Department, as my confidants, turned a blind eye to this situation, and even harbored evil intentions, fueling the troubles, and my heart was very painful, so I removed Feng Xingjian and Qiao Hong from all official positions, and the Investigation Department was taken over by Zhou Xin, the superintendent of the imperial history, and carefully screened it, so as not to let a traitor slip through the net!

Chin this!

"Feng Xingjian, Qiao Hong, take the order!"

Listening to the voice of Zhou Xin, who is known as "cold noodles and cold iron", Feng Xingjian was shocked, and even shouted, "My lord, wronged, wronged!" The Investigation Department has been working diligently, and the rumors have been sent to investigate, although there is no result, but it has been reported in writing! As for colluding with the Japanese Bandits, it is even more false, and I hope that the adults will see it! As he spoke, Feng Xingjian kowtowed again and again, and blood stains appeared on his forehead instantly.

Qiao Hong did not shout injustice like Feng Xingjian, but was stunned for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "The last general is grateful!" ”

"Come on, take down Feng Xingjian and Qiao Hong, strip off their official uniforms, put them in shackles, and take strict care of them!" Zhou Xin said coldly.

"Yes!"

The man in blue immediately rushed over, knocked the two down, stripped off their official uniforms, and escorted them out. And a smile also appeared on Zhou Xin's face, helped Liu Tie and the others up, and arched his hand: "The lord is frightened, Zhou Xinhuang is in his body, he can't pay full courtesy, and he still looks at Haihan!" ”

Seeing that Feng Xingjian and Qiao Hong, who were still staggering with him just now, had become prisoners, Liu Tie was better, while Tie Wuchen and Kou Tianbo broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up at this moment and saluted Zhou Xin back.

Zhou Xin smiled and arched his hand: "Feng and Qiao were successfully arrested this time, and I would like to thank Lord Liu for your cooperation." In addition, the lower officials have to rush to the Investigation Department to interrogate Feng, Qiao and others, and if you are rude, I hope you Haihan! ”

"How dare you! How dare you! ”

……

Looking at Zhou Xin's back, Tie Wuchen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord Liu, what's going on?" Lord Feng is not like an unfaithful person! ”

"It's hard to say, but the emperor said that Feng Xingjian is either a great evil person or a stupid person."

"Unconscious? You mean Joehon? Kou Tianbo said suddenly.

"I don't know, it could be someone else, but Feng Xingjian and Qiao Hong are finished!"

“……”

In front of the yamen of the Investigation Division, the lights are bright, with five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry.

Zhou Xin glanced at it and said, "What about Lord Hu and Master Ji?" ”

"They've gone to arrest the Thousand Households of the Investigation Division, and they haven't come back yet!"

"Well, let them come back and come to see this official immediately!"

"Yes!"

……

"Smack!" Zhou Xin slapped the shocked wood fiercely: "Feng Xingjian, a bold rebel, don't you recruit your rebellion?" And who is the person behind you? Who are your comrades? Still not from the truth? Freedom from the flesh and skin! ”

Feng Xingjian looked around, this place was too familiar to him. Today, during the day, I am still working here, but at night, I kneel here and become a traitor! He shook his head with a wry smile, kowtowed, and said, "My lord, Feng is not a traitor, and he has no intention of rebellion. ”

"Oh? It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Zhou Xin sneered twice: "Then the official reminds you." ”

"On October 23, Wei Dongping, the chief flag of the Shandong Investigation Department, was killed in Linyi, was it your order?"

"Wei Dongping? Killed? Linyi? Feng Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and said: "Wei Dongping's villain knows, isn't there a conclusion about his killing?" He was killed by the White Lotus Sect bandits in the course of performing his official duties. ”

"Hehe, this Wei Dongping was killed in front of this official. That day was October 23, the official inspected Linyi, and encountered a fight on the side of the canal, Wei Dongping had only three people around him, but there were eleven people on the other side, all dressed in ordinary people's clothes. The official had the intention to stop it, but he didn't have the manpower, so he had to send a servant to the nearby village to beat the gong and beckon the strong man to come over, while the official stayed by and observed! ”

"Wei Dongping's men were quickly killed, and he himself was seriously wounded, and finally he shouted: 'Cai Baixiong, you are a traitor, you must not die well!' , and jumped into the canal. ”

"The river was raging, and the strong men nearby came, so those people fled!"

"This official ordered Zhuang Ding to search along the river, and finally found this person's body and this waist card!"

"Who Cai Baixiong is, the official doesn't know, but the official thinks that things are very unusual, so he immediately asked to see Lord Yang Shiqi, who supervised the grain and grass in Shandong, and after Lord Yang asked about the situation, he immediately wrote to the emperor. Three days later, Lord Wang Du of the Military Aircraft Department came to Jinan, do you want me to continue to talk about the rest of the things? ”

Feng Xingjian knelt on the ground, his head "buzzed", Cai Baixiong was a hundred households in Shandong, and more importantly, he used to be his own guard, but Beijing's text did not say anything about Cai Baixiong, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he sent Qiao Hong to investigate, and the final conclusion of the investigation was that the White Lotus Sect assassinated the imperial court official, and it was over at this time. No, Qiao Hong, is it?

"How? Do you remember? Zhou Xin's voice came up again.

Feng Xingjian thought about it for a while and decided to say truthfully: "Back to my lord, Cai Baixiong was indeed a small guard, but what he did was not clear, and Wei Dongping's matter was handled by Deputy Director Qiao Hong, and the little one did not know. ”

"Really?"

"Small sentences are true."

"Hehe, there's one more thing, how do you explain it? On the night before the founding prince Changsheng left Beijing, the king of Taiwan once went to his mansion and stayed for half an hour before coming out, why did the Investigation Department not report such a major matter? ”

"This?" The beads of sweat on Feng Xingjian's head flowed down at once, if Cai Baixiong's matter can still be justified, the matter of King Tai is enough for him to cut a thousand knives, and now although the court is calm on the surface, the emperor's wariness of the vassal king has not been eliminated. The emperor is not in the capital, but the vassal king visits the founding prince who controls the military power of the capital at night, but the investigation department doesn't even know about this kind of thing, so in the eyes of the emperor, the investigation department is afraid that there is no need to exist, this, I'm afraid, is the reason why he became a prisoner......

……

On the fifth day of December, Cao Yushu's Second Guards Army suddenly entered Beijing, surrounded the Investigation Department, and arrested all the personnel of the Investigation Department.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Xin, who had been busy all night, did not rest, and he took Jinyiwei to the Taiwang Mansion.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said:

……
