In the next few days, Li Xiuwen transferred a large number of people who were good at listening to news from the Wang family, and some of them were led by Chen Yi, so that he could make every effort to investigate the distribution of Zhu Shaohong's forces in Kaifeng City, as well as what he did on weekdays. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The other part was handed over to Li Dong and asked him to investigate the evidence of Zhu Shaohong's collusion within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. As long as he is well prepared, it is time for himself and Zhu Shaoyang to compete head-on.

Wang Bing took over the Wang family's carriage and horse shop, and now that Wang Wu has not returned, the Wang family carriage and horse shop still has to operate, not to mention that the Wu family has just been overthrown, and they have not had time to eat these territories, they must take over as soon as possible and unify the underground forces in Kaifeng.

A large number of people put in it, and the effect comes out. At this time, Li Xiuwen's bookcase was filled with all kinds of information. What he is looking at now is the distribution of power in Kaifeng Mansion. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, Zhu Shaoyang's hand was really long enough, if he was given some more time, I was afraid that it would really be possible. But he felt very strange, in his impression, he didn't remember that this happened in history. Could it be that something happened during this period that led to Zhu Shaoyang's failure, and it is not recorded in the history books?

"Young master, Lord Zhao from the government is here." The subordinate outside the door reported.

"Lord Zhao?"

Li Xiuwen was stunned, Zhao Yuanliang knew that he was not dead. The news of his return has been sent to Zhao Yuanliang. But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Xiong and Zhao Tuiguan would come to visit at this time. It was inconvenient for him to go out to greet him now, so he only asked the subordinate to invite Zhao Tuiguan in.

When Zhao Xiong came to the door of the study, Li Xiuwen greeted him and said with a smile: "Why is Lord Zhao free to come over today?" I haven't been far away, please forgive me! ”

"Li Gongzi will not die in a catastrophe, and this official will naturally come to visit." Zhao Xiong also smiled and bowed his hand.

Li Xiuwen knew that he came over in person, and he must have something important to discuss, so he hurriedly invited him into the study.

After the two of them sat down and the maid brought the tea, Li Xiuwen asked her to retreat. He took a sip of the teacup and asked, "I don't know why the adults came to the door today?" ”

Zhao Tuiguan glanced left and right, and then said: "I came here today to inform Gongzi that the case on the Wu family's side has been investigated." ”

"Oh?"

Li Xiuwen is a little strange, the Wu family has fallen, how else can he check? But Zhao Tuiguan came over in person, and this case is definitely not simple!

"The father and son of the Wu family have confessed that they have sent people to assassinate the son several times."

Li Xiuwen was a little strange, whether they recognized this matter or not was no longer very important, and he said: "I know about this matter, but now that the Wu family has fallen, this matter only aggravates the crime of the Wu family's father and son, right?" ”

Zhao Tuiguan looked calm and opened his mouth to say another important news.

"They confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Li Xiuwen was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

"It was impossible, but the official used some means, and they recruited them." Zhao Tuiguan said with a smile.

Li Xiuwen understood that it should be Zhao Tuiguan who tortured them to extract confessions, but he was curious about what kind of punishment could make the Wu family father and son recognize Zhu Shaoyang. You must know that the prince is not a good person, and his means of dealing with his subordinates must be very good. But this Zhao Tuiguan was able to make them speak, and Li Xiuwen couldn't help but look at him with admiration. At the same time, I was even more curious, what is the origin of this Zhao Tuiguan?

Zhao Tuiguan seemed to see the doubt in his heart, and said: "I'm just an outcast!" ”

Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Tuiguan said slowly: "Life is like chess, and I am just an abandoned chess piece." Li Gongzi should know that I am from the capital, but what Li Gongzi doesn't know is that I am just a victim of factional struggle! ”

Li Xiuwen was extremely surprised when he heard this, he had long heard that the immortals were fighting and the little ghosts were suffering. He didn't expect that the Zhao Tuiguan in front of him was actually demoted from the capital.

Zhao Tuiguan paused and continued: "I was originally the head of the Criminal Department of the capital, but because of a big case, I was demoted to the head of the Henan Criminal Department. Before I took up my post, the imperial court changed my appointment and demoted me to this Kaifeng Mansion to serve as this pusher. ”

Li Xiuwen understood that Zhao Xiong's faction in the capital had offended some big people because of a big case. In the end, the opponent couldn't lead the case, so he used him to open the knife, and the camp he was in naturally abandoned this chess piece. It's like between himself and Zhu Shaoyang, he can't move Zhu Shaoxuan, so the Wu family is unlucky.

"The punishment of the criminal department is so harsh?"

Li Xiuwen asked strangely, in his memory, it should be Jinyiwei who was frightening to extort confessions by torture.

Zhao Tuiguan knew what he meant, and smiled disdainfully: "Jinyiwei's set, if the old man wants to use it, why is it difficult?" ”

Li Xiuwen realized this. Dare to love those punishments, not only the Jinyi Wei Association, but the Jinyi Wei pioneered. With the creativity of our Han people, it is not difficult to make a copycat copy at all.

Li Xiuwen still had a question in his heart, but he looked at Zhao Tuiguan, but he wanted to say something. What he wanted to ask was, why did Zhao Tuiguan defect to his camp?

Before Zhao Xiong made this decision, he knew that he would have this question in his heart, but he smiled confidently: "Others can't see your talent, but the old man can see it clearly." What you have done in the past half a month is remarkable. The Zhou family and the Wu family have been in Kaifeng for many years, but you just turned your palm and destroyed it. Now in the face of that person's pressing step, you are at ease. The old man has been an official for many years, but he has never seen a person as intelligent as you, if you say that you will not be able to rise to prominence in the future, then it is unreasonable! ”

"Lord Zhao is overrated!"

Li Xiuwen arched his hand and smiled modestly. was horrified in his heart, this Zhao Tuiguan's vision was too poisonous, right? Paying attention to your actions since so early?

"You don't have to be humble, the old man still has this vision."

Zhao Tuiguan smiled and got up and was about to leave, but he seemed to suddenly remember: "By the way, the Wang family's case is Xie Tong's trial, if you want to rescue Wang Wu, you have to think about it." ”

"Sure enough, it's an old treacherous and cunning!"

Seeing off Zhao Tuiguan, Li Xiuwen sighed. The news that Zhao Tuiguan sent the Wu family to confess was not enough to bring down Zhu Shaoyang. But he inadvertently mentioned Xie Tong's judgment before leaving, which was intentional. Xie Heng is an extremely important person, and the most important thing is that Xie Heng is Zhu Shaoxuan's person! Since Zhao Tuiguan mentioned it, it shows that this talent is the key. Li Xiuwen already had a countermeasure in his heart, and this first knife was about to fall on Xie Heng.

Zhao Xiong is an ambitious person, he is not willing to succumb to this small Kaifeng, he wants to return to the capital and stand on top of the temple. With him as an official, he should not be just a six-grade principal, I think he was suppressed and excluded by the court, and he has been unwilling for many years. But did he realize that he had taken refuge in Zhu Shaoye?
