Text Chapter 9 Surrender

"Tie Qing is dead.." In the dungeon, the crown prince Li Zhen said to the sea without envy.

...... Ever since the master had said something strange to him last night, he had noticed something. But hearing the news suddenly, Hai Wuxian was still a little incredulous.

"Hai Wuxian, what is Tie Qing's plan? Lone once asked, but Tie Qing refused to say. ”

Seeing that Hai Wuxian didn't mean to speak, Li Zhen continued.

"Now my father's body is not as good as day by day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all with different thoughts, if the father and emperor go first, how can I stay in this Great Wei Kingdom!"

Seeing that Hai Wuxian in prison still didn't have any intention of speaking, Li Zhen brushed his sleeves away.

Hai Wuxian's face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to wake up from the news of Tie Zhengsha's passing. After a stick of incense, Hai Wuxian exhaled.

"Master, for the sake of Da Wei, is it really worth it?" Last night, I heard Tie Zhengsha say that the new emperor could only go out when he ascended the throne, and the prisoners in the blood prison had many murders, but they were not sentenced and only imprisoned here. Hai Wuxian knew that these murderers were all chess pieces, and their purpose was nothing more than Qingjun's side.

.....

When the footsteps came from the corridor, Yan Chong was half-asleep, and at first he thought it was the shopkeeper's urging, since he was wrapped up and used up to act as a companion in this inn. Except for the urging of the store, there is no one else to disturb usually.

"Senior brother, there is news from the Suppression Division, ordering you and Hai Wuxian to arrest the fugitive Jin Jiu as a criminal. As long as Jin Jiu is caught, all the previous evidence will not be blamed. Tie Pear's voice came.

Because of his identity as a criminal, Yan Chong could only hide in this inn to do chores. Whenever the inn closed, he told himself that another day had passed. At first, he left the inn to inquire about the news, but as the bounty portrait began to spread in Jiangnan, he didn't leave the inn, just like an ordinary fellow.

After hearing Tie Lihua's voice, Yan Chong was stunned at first. During the time I was doing chores in the inn, I almost forgot that he used to be a famous catcher.

"How can the imperial court not be guilty of the past?"

"Master Wei mentioned in the letter that as long as Jin Jiu is arrested and brought to justice, and he is guilty of meritorious service, he can be reinstated."

Yan Chong thought that he would have to hide and hide for the rest of his life. At this time, the willows are bright, and what he has learned in his life with Tie Zhengsha cannot be wasted.

The day after the accident in the Jin Mansion, Jin Jiu heard that a girl in the Splendid Pavilion who was not very popular had redeemed herself, which made Jin Jiu suspicious, no matter how you say it, the timing is a bit coincidental.

Green Waist's surname is Ding, and she was sold into the Qinglou because of her gambler father, and her father's debts were repaid, which made Green Waist helpless, but she didn't expect her father to become even worse and owe a lot of usury. The casino usurers beat her father half to death, and sold her twelve-year-old sister into the green house. Her father couldn't resist either, and a few days later he died early because of his serious injuries.

Her sister doesn't look at it yet, she has a moth eyebrow, bright eyes and bright teeth, and she is a beautiful embryo when she is young. Sister Bustard used her as a future Oiran to raise, and her worth was several times more than that of Green Waist.

Now that she has redeemed herself and her sister, and she still has some money to spare, and she has set up a fat powder shop nearby, she thinks that in a few years, she will be able to save a good dowry for her sister.

"Yao'er, you go to Uncle Carpenter to have a look, is the custom-made signboard ready!"

"Got it, sister, I'll go take a look." A little girl in a red dress ran out of the store after speaking.

Greenwaist chased out of the store and looked at the little girl who had run away.

"Oops! What an old girl, and she is still so reckless. Staring at the purse in his hand, he smiled helplessly.

Just as Greenwaist turned around and returned to the store, several fierce men rushed in behind him.

"Yo! Green waist, the store is well furnished! A Chinese character with a scar on his face joked.

"Big brothers, the small shop hasn't opened yet, please come back tomorrow." Greenwaist replied with some nervousness.

"I heard that a few days ago, a person surnamed Hai asked you about Master Jin?" Scar Man continued.

Hearing this, Green Waist sighed in his heart, didn't Hai Gongzi provoke Jin Ye? But he still maintained Hai Wuxian, after all, Hai Wuxian gave her two sisters a chance to be reborn.

"It's never been like this!"

"Oh? Also dead duck with a hard mouth! I heard you have a younger sister? ”

Hearing Scar Man talk about his sister, she really panicked. I heard the scar man say again: "Jin Ye wants to know what the surname Hai has inquired about?" ”

"Hai Gongzi just asked some questions about Honggu, who Jin Ye often goes to listen to music." The green waist replied truthfully.

"Honggu? The one from the Qinhuai Flower Boat? Only inquired about these? ”

"That's right, Hai Gongzi only asked a few ....." Before Greenwaist finished speaking, the scar man stabbed Greenwaist in the abdomen with a dagger.

"Jin Ye said, not all cats and dogs can go to Tai Sui's head to break ground. Let the people of Jiangnan know that no one can provoke him. After speaking, the scar man pulled out his dagger and wiped the blood on it, turned his head and ordered the hands behind him.

"I've smashed it all!"

The scar man and his party who left the store, an entourage asked the scar man puzzled: "Second master, Jin Ye is explaining, the two sisters are two.." After speaking, make a motion with your hand to wipe your neck.

"What does a little girl who hasn't grown all her hair know? It's better to hurry back and tell Jin Ye that it matters. ”

Ding Yao, who ran out of the store earlier and rushed back because she remembered that she was in a hurry and forgot to take the deposit, cried at the mess and her sister's corpse.

There was a group of people around the front of the store, pointing at the store.

"Alas! Iniquity. ”

"The Ding sisters have just had a head start this day."

"Who was that guy just here?" One of the people in the crowd who had just arrived whispered.

"The scarface at the head is called Wang Hu, known as the second master, and he has been following Jin Jiu as a tiger."

"The Golden Nine of the Summer Resort? Kim Dae Sunen? The man continued.

"What great good man? Dude, you're from outside, aren't you? Jin Jiu used to be ruthless, and after encircling the entire Jiangnan, he cleared himself, this person is bad! ”

"You don't know this, some time ago, it was said that the prisoners of the dungeon in the capital escaped from prison, and this Jin Jiu is one of them!" Another person who seemed to know something gossip interjected.

"This Jin Jiu is so cruel, why doesn't the government arrest it?" The outsider who had questioned earlier said again.

"Hey! The government has to rely on evidence to arrest people, and whoever causes trouble there for no reason. Besides, the bitter masters who sued Jin Jiu before, without exception, all disappeared when the hall opened! Dead people don't speak. ”

In the crowd, you say everything you say. Hear noisy words outside the store. Ding Yao wiped away her tears, got up and ran out of the store, and ran towards the yamen.

She wants to report to the official and ask the official to make the decision for her, and she can't let the murderer escape.

Jin Jiu was sitting on the rock at the gate of the summer resort at this time, the gate was open, and there was silence inside, like a Chen house that had been abandoned for many years! Jin Jiu was wearing a silk robe tied with a plain white silk belt, and a hairband with a white background embroidered with a little reddish on a white background was also tied to his hair bun.

Jin Jiu's face was indifferent, his eyebrows were in his sideburns, his eyes were deep, and he quietly looked at the catch that was faintly emerging from afar.

A group of mounts appeared, kicking up a cloud of dust and rolling towards the lodge!

The horse team is getting closer and closer, and the one who gallops at the front is Tie Lihua, followed by Yan Chong, who has faded and disguised, and the one who leads the team of soldiers to ride is actually the governor of Zhejiang, who asked the household department for the quota of show girls before. Hai Wuxian did not show up.

.....。

In front of it is the summer resort of Jinjiu. Tie Lihua and Yan Chong were originally discussing how to arrest Jin Jiu in the governor's yamen, but suddenly heard the drum of justice outside the yamen being beaten, and the local case had nothing to do with the Zhenfu Division, but he was also a Beijing official, and the governor's county order did not dare to offend much, so he summoned the drummer with Tie Lihua and others.

Not long after Ding Yao finished beating the drum of redress, he was led to the lobby by the officials. Governor Wang Qinghe sat at the head of the case and asked the court.

"Who is kneeling in the hall, and why is the drum beating?"

"Ding Yao, the daughter of the people, please make the decision for the daughter of the people, and avenge the grievances of the sister!"

"What grievances are there, can there be a paper?" Wang Qinghe asked again.

"My lord, when the folk girl came, she was in a hurry and did not ask someone to write a complaint."

When Wang Qinghe heard that the person had not written a pleading, he had no interest in hearing the trial. After all, I still have to discuss the arrest of Jin Jiu with the Zhenfu Division. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to send the official to drive Ding Yao out of the yamen.

"My lord, the people's daughter sued Jin Jiucao for his life!" Seeing the messenger come forward to drive her away, Ding Yao immediately shouted loudly.

"Slow! In detail. Wang Qinghe stopped the bombardment of the errand.

Hearing "Jin Jiu" Tie Lihua and others, they also pricked up their ears, and they were worried that there was no evidence of arrest.

After listening to Ding Yao's story, Tie Lihua felt a little sympathetic to this woman, while Hai Wuxian, who was standing on the side, looked guilty. He thought to himself that if he had been more cautious, he might not have harmed this woman.

"Please also ask Lord Wang to gather soldiers and arrest the criminal Jin Jiu with us!" Yan Chong clasped his hands into fists and gestured to Wang Qinghe.

Tie Lihua and the others had already arrived at the summer resort, looking at Jin Jiu sitting on the rock, Tie Lihua leaked a disgusted gaze.

"Jin Jiu, you're arrested!" Governor Wang Qinghe uttered this sentence in a low tone.

Jin Jiu smiled faintly: "Words can't be said absolutely, my Lord Wang." Do you think I'm going to put what you want in front of me when I'm arrested today? ”

"You...."Hearing Jin Jiu say this, Wang Qinghe knew that the handle was no longer on Jin Jiu.

"Tiger father has no dog girl! The iron catcher is really majestic today! Jin Jiu always thought that the "Hai Gongzi" who inquired about him before was following Tie Lihua's instructions, but he didn't know that Tie Lihua didn't do anything after coming to Jiangnan.

"Someone! Lock him up and escort him back to the yamen! Tie Lihua thought that Jin Jiu was sarcastic about her.

"That's right, Lord Wang!" Jin Jiu, who was shackled, turned back to Wang Qinghe at this time.

"The 'Jiangnan Account Book' you want is now on the way, it's too late to do anything, I just don't know if Jin's new backer wants to impeach you or win you over! Hahaha, hahaha, quack. ”

The punishment of the flesh is only the pain of the flesh, and the condemnation of the conscience is unpleasant. When there is no way to regret it, people will think of the benefits of others and reflect on themselves, and meditate in pain, which is far more mature than a stick beating.

In front of the tomb of the green waist, Ding Yao is paying tribute. Hai Wuxian stood aside.

"My name is Hai Wuxian, and I'm like... Your sister's friend. ”

"I've heard my sister mention it." When the green waist ransomed the two sisters, Ding Yao once asked about the origin of the ransom money.

"Have you ever wondered what to do next?"

The little girl shook her head in confusion. Her mother was gone when she was born, her father was also beaten to death by chasing usury, she and her sister were also sold into the Qinglou, and now her only relatives are gone, and she doesn't know what to do.

"Then you come with me, you will be my sister in the future." After all, it was his own carelessness that hurt the green waist.

Ding Yao didn't know whether he should agree or not, now that he was helpless and had no ability, would he be in trouble with his own oil bottle.

"Let's go." Hai Wuxian didn't pay attention to the little girl, and pulled Ding Yao away from this sad place...

Qin Huai's Honggu was also a little hesitant at this time, she... Now free.

A few days ago, Jin Jiu was listening to the music, and suddenly Wang Hu under his command came to find him and said something in his ear. Then Jin Jiu kept thinking about something. I don't have the interest I had when I was a child. She's not easy to chase people away.

Time passed little by little, and the wound on her shoulder began to bleed outward.

The wound on his shoulder was naturally discovered by Jin Jiu. She thought she was finished. Then I saw Jin Jiu take out half of the account book from his arms and come out to her.

"There is Miss Lao Hong who will give this thing to the nobleman."

Honggu looked surprised, not knowing what Jin Jiu wanted to do.

"Huh! The red girl doesn't have to think about it, just give this thing to the nobleman. "Jin Jiu doesn't know who the 'noble' behind Honggu is. Seeing the blood stains on Honggu's shoulder, he knew that Honggu was the man in black who infiltrated the villa, and he also knew that the Zhenfu Division had come to arrest him, and he was gambling.

Honggu's goal in the Golden Mansion must be these 'account books', but he doesn't know who it is, and his mastery of these 'account books' is only known to those important ministers above the second grade. Although it is not clear that it is the one who took refuge in the court. However, I believe that half of the account books are enough to make him excited, and there is no problem in keeping himself, and maybe he can even pit the big and small officials in Jiangnan.

As for the other half, the 'books' are the real key. He is not stupid enough to seal his back road, the account books are his way of life, whether it is for those officials who have the handles recorded in the accounts, or those who want to hold these handles.

He can only hope that the higher the official position of the 'nobleman' behind Honggu, the better. No one will give up such a big piece of fat in Jiangnan.

Li Zhen looked at the account book in his hand with an excited face, although this half of the account book did not record any important clues, but the name on it already made him very satisfied, after all, it is impossible to dismiss all the officials and remove them, first of all, there is no alternative that can be filled immediately, and then there is too much power involved in Jiangnan in the account book.

If you have the handle, you don't need to waste your manpower, after all, he only got the military department in the court, and most of the courtiers still won't listen to him, a little emperor with an unstable foundation.

"Feng An, Honggu has been exposed, you go and arrange for the celebrant to go to Jiangnan, and ask Wei Ji to find a secret place to detain Jin Jiu, and I am bound to get that half of the account book."

"No."

In addition, he was telling Sheng Weiyun that Yan Chong's deeds were offset by his deeds, and he was ordered to be reinstated. As for Hai Wuxian ..

Since he was Tie Qing's secret hand back then, I didn't make much arrangements, so I acquitted him. Okay Feng An, you go down first. ”

"The old slave commands." Feng An bowed to Li Zhen and slowly stepped back towards Li Zhen.

Department of Pacification.

"Lord Wei, you have also listened to the emperor's will, the old slave is privately mentioning to you, the dungeon of Dali Temple is now a joke in the capital, and Jin Jiu is the entire Jiangnan for the emperor. You need to be tighter! ”

"Gonggong Feng reminded that after the accident in Dali Temple, the official had already ordered someone to build a dungeon, declaring it a 'dangerous building' to the outside world."

"Lord Wei's dungeon can really be described as "100 feet high"! In this case, the old slave will return to the palace to resume his life. ”

The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands, and you dare not speak loudly, for fear of frightening the people in the sky. , "dangerous building" built on the outskirts of the capital, seems to be a pavilion attic, but in fact the underground is a prison, how deep it is dare not imagine. Although there are only three or two soldiers on the outside, there are many mechanisms inside. In order to avoid the recurrence of prisoner escapes, the dungeon is specially called the 'dangerous building'. It is used to confuse some ill-intentioned people.
