Chapter 199: The Furious Empress Wu
Linghu Changqing coughed twice and said, "Several, you don't have any accents from Chang'an, right?" ”
Li Rizhi didn't want to talk to Linghu Changqing, but it was okay to listen to what the chief of the inner court had to say, he said: "We are all from Xingyang, and your accent doesn't seem to be native to Chang'an, but I can't tell where it is!" ”
Linghu Changqing looked at Fu Guibao, and then looked at Cheng Ziyi, and finally, his eyes fell on Chen Yingying, and said: "This son-in-law, and a few sons, we might as well do a business, you let me go, I will give you 100,000 yuan each, a total of 400,000 yuan, I will pay with jewelry, you can take you to get the jewelry first, and then you are satisfied, and then let me go, how about it?" ”
"Outside the city?" Li Rizhi asked.
He didn't believe what Linghu Changqing said at all, Linghu Changqing just wanted to delay time, and wanted them to take him out of the city, it is estimated that he has a backhand, if they are fooled, then maybe Linghu Changqing will escape.
Li Rizhi thinks that he is not the smartest person in the world, so he doesn't play tricks!
Linghu Changqing nodded and said: "Outside the city, in an abandoned cave, I will show you the way, as long as you go with me, then you take the jewels, and I will leave by myself, how about it?" ”
Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "No, we still send you to the official mansion, make a meritorious service, and then receive a reward for meritorious service, and you can also get a lot of benefits!" ”
A few of them escorted Linghu Changqing out of the teahouse, put it on horseback, and were about to go out of the workshop to go to Chang'an County, Linghu Changqing was in a hurry, he knew that as long as he fell into the hands of the government, what was waiting for him was to cut off his head, and the crime he committed against the royal family was already unforgivable.
But no matter how Linghu Changqing pleaded and coerced and tempted, Li Rizhi was unmoved and ignored it, but he asked Chen Yingying, how did she find out about Linghu Changqing, he was a man dressed as a woman, which was difficult to find!
Chen Yingying was very proud and said: "You asked me to watch the horse outside, I was very reluctant to look at it, so I went to the backyard, planning to find the back door, in case he went through the back door, wouldn't I be able to block him!" ”
Fu Guibao said: "I was really blocked by you, but he was pretending to be a woman at that time, how did you find out, you talked to him?" ”
Chen Yingying said: "Yes, I talked to him, I asked him if you know Linghu Changqing, he said no, but I heard that his voice was wrong, it was definitely not a woman, but the clothes he was wearing were women's, isn't that Linghu Changqing, he is a eunuch!" ”
When she said this, she was very proud, in fact, the situation at that time was very simple, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect to ask Linghu Changqing himself.
And Linghu Changqing, who was placed on horseback, was extremely remorseful, just now, he put on makeup, changed into women's clothes, carried a burden, and came out of the back door, he was not in a hurry, because he knew very well that from the outside, he was a woman, even if those people at the front door chased him, he would not doubt himself, because they couldn't tell at all, he was the person they were looking for.
After going out, Linghu Changqing walked not far away, and saw a girl running from the front, running out of breath, after seeing him, he opened his mouth and asked: "This sister, do you know Linghu Changqing, we are arresting him, does his family live here?" ”
Listening to such a question, Linghu Changqing felt that this girl was a fool, although she was really beautiful, but there was a problem with her brain, she asked such a question, how could she answer her, then she must not know it!
She should only ask if she knows Linghu Changqing, and she shouldn't say that she wants to arrest him, because almost all the little people have the same characteristic, that is, they are afraid of trouble, and more things are better than less things, so such a question, even if they know, they will say they don't know because they are afraid of trouble.
Linghu Changqing replied directly according to the thinking of the little people: "I don't know!" ”
He didn't speak, he was sure that there was nothing to do, but as soon as he spoke, he immediately revealed his stuffing, and was recognized by Chen Yingying, he could make up as a woman, but his voice could not be exactly the same as a woman, even if his voice was extremely feminine, but at this critical moment, it still exposed a little difference, and such a difference could not be ignored at this moment, Chen Yingying would not let him go at all.
So, Chen Yingying screamed, and also held a short sword to compare with him, and then Li Rizhi and they came!
Out of Xiudefang, walked for a long time, and then arrived at the Chang'an County Yamen, at this time the Chang'an County Yamen, is already deserted, a large number of officials and officials are all dispatched, some are to support Peng Ji, some are to notify the Wuhou of the Fang, and some people to notify the city gates, anyway, Chang'an County has exhausted the manpower, just to block Linghu Changqing in the city, not to let him escape from the city!
Let's say that Peng Ji left Linghu Changqing's outer house, ran all the way with evidence, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he made things clear to the guards guarding the palace gate, and the guards didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately went in to notify the eunuch on duty, and the eunuch immediately ran in to inform Empress Wu.
Yes, it is to inform Empress Wu, because as long as it is not in the time of the last dynasty, then today's son especially doesn't like to be disturbed, in fact, even when he is in the last dynasty, when today's son doesn't like the ministers to say things to him, then what's the point of not going to the court?
It is still meaningful, that is, when she was in the last dynasty, Empress Wu would make ideas for the emperor, and Empress Wu would follow the emperor to the court, of course, she is not so blatant now, she is just hiding behind the screen, since the eldest grandson Wuji was killed by her, no one in the court dares to oppose her, she is willing to listen to the government, then let her listen.
The emperor doesn't mind her listening to the government, who dares to say anything more about the ministers, aren't they afraid of being exiled, first exiled, and then halfway to death, no one wants to follow this routine, so they don't squeak.
It's just that during this time, Queen Wu was particularly tired because of her pregnancy, so she didn't follow the emperor to the court, but in fact, if Queen Wu didn't go to the court, the emperor didn't want to go, and it would be good to be able to go to the court once in ten days.
Therefore, if there is any urgent matter in the court, it is the fastest to find Empress Wu, but it is not possible to find the emperor, Empress Wu is extremely efficient, and no one in the court and the central ministers can match her, if you don't accept it, it is obvious that today's Peng Ji matter is an urgent matter!
After listening to the report of the little eunuch, Empress Wu was shocked, someone dared to make a black hand against her prince, and this person turned out to be Linghu Changqing, which is too terrifying, and it is something that she must not allow or forgive!
Empress Wu immediately shouted: "Call Tong Guinu!" ”
The little eunuch ran out and found Tong Guinu, Tong Guinu was still thinking about what method to use to kill Linghu Changqing, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to doze off, someone sent a pillow!
Tong Guinu hurriedly ran to see Empress Wu, at this time, Peng Ji had already entered the palace and was reporting the matter to Empress Wu, just when he said that in Jidouguan, he caught a group of young and beautiful female Taoists.
Empress Wu's eyebrows have been erected, she is usually quite gentle to the emperor, but if she loses her temper, there is really no one who is not afraid of her, even the emperor is afraid, so the emperor generally does not dare to make her angry, if she accidentally provokes her, she also quickly apologizes, this matter depends on the queen, this is a sentence that the emperor often hangs on his lips.
The emperor is still like this, he doesn't dare to provoke Empress Wu, let alone Linghu Changqing, what kind of thing is he, a eunuch leader!
Empress Wu picked up the little yellow bag that Peng Ji presented to him just now, she knew it, this little yellow bag was the little purse she prepared for Li Lun, she opened the small bag tremblingly, poured out hair and nails from it, and in an instant, Empress Wu let out a scream that was not like a human voice!
It is impossible for any mother in this world to want to see this scene, to see that the things on her child are used as magic weapons by the wicked and used to carry out witchcraft, and the mothers of ordinary people see this, they all have to fight with each other, let alone Queen Wu!
Empress Wu shouted: "Tong Guinu, let you kill Linghu Changqing, did you kill him?" ”
Tong Guinu thought to himself: "Niangniang, you just asked me to find an opportunity to repair Linghu Changqing, not to kill him, besides, how dare I kill someone!" ”
But Tong Guinu saw Queen Wu's angry expression, how dare he say Niangniang, you remember wrong, you didn't let me kill Linghu Changqing, he quickly knelt down and said: "The little slave is incompetent, and, still trying to find a way, I haven't been able to kill him yet!" ”
Peng Ji thought to himself: "Kill Linghu Changqing, why, you have to kill him a long time ago?" Then I'm afraid of what he's doing! ”
Empress Wu said angrily: "Useless waste, you can't do such a trivial thing!" You don't have to think of any way, arrest him immediately, this palace will cut him with a thousand knives and break his body into thousands of pieces! ”
Tong Guinu almost fainted, okay, kill him quickly, chop it up and feed it to the dog, this is the king!
Of course, he didn't dare to show the slightest excitement, but said, "Yes, yes, the little slave will do it!" After exiting the hall, he summoned a large group of strong eunuchs to arrest Linghu Changqing!
Empress Wu said to Peng Ji: "You go on, you haven't finished talking yet!" ”
Peng Ji replied yes, and continued: "Those female Taoist priests are very cunning, but because a scholar named Li Rizhi saw through their conspiracy......"
He said Li Rizhi's credit in this case, and said it in a full foot, in this regard, Peng Ji is still very principled, Li Rizhi helped him, then he will say good things for Li Rizhi, of course, this is also to give Yan Liben a face, after all, the sedan chair person carries people, he lifted Li Rizhi today, maybe Li Rizhi will help him again in the future! ”
Empress Wu sighed and said, "Li Rizhi? I've seen this name! ”
Empress Wu is a very energetic person, the emperor is tired of politics, and now the chapter is mainly reviewed by her, Li Rizhi's name appears in the chapter several times, Empress Wu remembers that the Xingyang County Order mentioned Li Rizhi, however, the official document written by the county order was not written directly to the emperor, but to the Criminal Department, and it was transferred to her desk, but what was written She forgot, after all, a small county order mentioned something, and she couldn't keep it in her heart, this was once.
Another time was written by Cui Dongsheng, the assassin of Zhengzhou, saying that Li Rizhi was particularly good at solving cases, Cui Dongsheng was even a high-ranking local official, and there were very few people who could solve cases in these years, so Queen Wu took it to heart this time.
The most recent time was an official document written by the county order of Huayin County, which was also written to the Criminal Department, and it was also transferred to her desk, which also said that Li Rizhi would solve the case, and a name was mentioned three times, so it was impossible for Queen Wu not to remember it!
At this time, Tong Guinu ran back, knelt on the ground and said: "Niangniang, that wicked man Ling Hu Changqing escaped from the palace, do you want to take the forbidden army to arrest him?" ”
Empress Wu hummed and said, "Yes!" ”
She said to Peng Ji again: "This palace remembers that in the past few days, I have seen the official document written by the county order of Huayin County, saying that there is a scholar named Li Rizhi who helped him solve a big case, if it weren't for Li Rizhi's help, he would almost have made a big mistake, so he went to Beijing to ask for guilt, what he said should be this Li Rizhi, right?" ”
When Tong Guinu heard this, he thought, "The county order of Huayin County? That's my acquaintance, who is Li Rizhi? ”
