Chapter 884: The Beggars Gather Again
What's going on? Is he five surnames and seven families again? Is this a haunting ghost? There are only four of the five surnames and seven families left, and they still dare to come out and jump? Isn't this looking for your own death?
In the palace, Li Er was furious again, and there was no progress in the investigation, why did he leave rumors and mess up? Who is spreading rumors and making trouble, taking advantage of this incident to destroy the Boling Cui clan? Check, check it out immediately.
This is a bit embarrassing, the old man is high, the source of rumors is spread all over the country, where to start? As the saying goes, there is no wind in the air, could it really be that Boling Cui did it?
A day later, the chamberlain Lao Gao urgently reported back: "Your Majesty, there is no way to find out the source of the rumors for the time being, but because the rumors have happened in China, a large number of people have poured into Hebei Province. ”
"The people? How can it be the people? Li Er was shocked.
Lao Gao hesitated: "According to the scout, most of these people are from the beggar gang. ”
What the? Li Er exclaimed, is it a beggar gang again? Aren't the beggars disbanded?
Then Li Er sat down again, sighed and didn't move again.
Yes, as the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, not to mention that the beggar gang leader Bai Fan Dashu does not fall, even if the beggar gang is disbanded, but the old love is still there, if something happens to the Bai family, as long as they know a little kindness, they will stand up and help, in this form, it will not be the same whether it is dissolved or not.
At this time, Lao Gao hesitated again and said: "The slave dares to guess that the beggar gang has such a large-scale operation, and it is so neat and uniform, it must be organized, could it be a rumor from the Hou Ye's telegram?" ”
In fact, Lao Gao didn't want to say it, after all, it was suspected of spreading rumors about Bai Fan to say this, and Lao Gao also had feelings for Bai Fan in his heart, but the wood was already in the boat, if the emperor thought of sending someone to investigate, Bai Fan felt worse in the emperor's heart at that time.
"Oh? Is it Bai Fan?
Yes, so it makes sense, Bai Fan's family was assassinated, and he must be the most anxious, it seems that he has found out the real culprit, and in anger, the people who mobilized the beggar gang want to take action. Li Er nodded.
But how did Bai Fan determine that the murderer was the Boling Cui clan? I sent the Hundred Cavalry Division, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple to make no progress, he is thousands of miles away, if there is divine help?
Send a telegram to ask if Bai Fan is operating behind the scenes? ”
Li Er is in a bad mood, over the years, as Bai Fan's skills have been lost and returned to the ordinary, his wariness of him has disappeared, this person is not greedy for power or money, but he only values family affection, such a courtier is easy to control, but he just needs gentle means.
But today, I heard that he once again pulled up the beggar gang to do private affairs without reporting, Li Er was definitely dissatisfied in his heart, even if the Boling Cui clan sent someone to assassinate your family, even if you want to slaughter the Boling Cui clan to take revenge and vent your anger, at least you have to say hello to the imperial court, ignoring the imperial court is like setting up a private court?
Or do you Bai Fan feel that you can't trust the imperial court, and feel that the people under your command are stronger than the people in the imperial court?
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, this statement is really true, no one can guess the emperor's psychology, maybe one day he will be remembered by others, so Bai Fancai, who knows this, has repeatedly refused and never entered the court too close.
This time the rumor was indeed spread by Bai Fan, the purpose was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and at the same time tell Boling Cui's family, are you bold enough to assassinate my wife and children? Try how our knife holder feels on your neck, since some people think that I, Bai Fan, have been silent for many years and have become a toothless tiger, then show their fangs and let them see.
Cui Minshou, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Boling, panicked, Bai Fan was crazy, how dare he incite the people to surround Boling like this? What does he want to do? Slaughter Choi?
Come on, send a letter to Chang'an quickly, and sue the royal complaint!
There is no need to sue Li Er to take care of this matter, the Boling Cui clan is the world's big family, even if the five surnames and seven families have shrunk in the past few years, they still have a lot of power.
"Come here, pass on Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui."
Soon the two of them came to Li Er, "You two led the forbidden army of the three thousand palaces to rush to the Boling Cui clan, Bai Fan led the beggar gang to surround Boling, but you saved Boling for me, I don't want the Fanyang Lu clan and Qinghe Cui clan incident to happen again." ”
When he said this, Li Er didn't feel like himself, but he really thought so now.
I think that when I first came to power ten years ago, I was bullied by the big clans, and I dreamed of eliminating these blood-sucking family shames.
I didn't expect that in just ten years, I would reach out to protect them, and all these reincarnation changes were because of Bai Fan.
It was Bai Fan who helped him subdue the major families, and it was also Bai Fan who told himself with facts that killing is not the right way, and killing the Li family in Longxi brought how many hidden dangers and suffering to the Tang Dynasty in the end? Not to mention anything else, just Li Xinzhong and Li Mingxin brothers took Tubo to fight the Tang Dynasty, how many casualties and losses were caused.
Not to mention that Li Xinzhong made opium, a poisonous thing, so Li Er slowly learned to control the enemy through a lesson.
Wei Zheng was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it is rumored among the people that the Boling Cui clan sent people to assassinate the wife and children of the Hou Ye, and the people were angry and defended it.
If it is true, the ministers do not have the confidence to complete this important task, you must know that the Hou Ye people sent the nickname 'Jianwei will be rewarded', I am afraid that except for Your Majesty, no one can stop him. ”
Li Erxin said, nonsense, no one can stop it, I am blind if I go, I am afraid that nine times out of ten it was done by the Boling Cui clan, Bai Fan has always acted above board, even if he kills people, he will clearly state the guilt and then act in a grand manner, since he sent someone to spread rumors, it will not spread nonsense.
Bai Fan has not yet used conspiracy to eliminate political enemies, and even said that he dared to Bo Ling Cui's clan before, and he had no grudges in the past, and he was not even a political enemy in the near future.
"I know it's difficult, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for you two.
If it is really confirmed that Cui Shimai is undoubtedly murderous, then Bai Fan's murder and revenge are also in the national law.
Keming, you have martial arts, you have to stand up, Jian Zhi can kill people and take revenge, but I don't want to see the corpses of the Boling Cui clan all over the field and rivers of blood, innocent people are also my people of the Tang Dynasty, I need to protect them.
Fan Yang Lu's experience is a lesson from the past, I don't want to repeat the scene of the year, persuade Jian Zhi, just kill the first evil and get angry, and innocent people should not be killed indiscriminately. ”
Du Ruhui complained bitterly in his heart, he and Bai Fan had a lifelong friendship, isn't this embarrassing? But after thinking about it, I am afraid that there is no one else in the court who is suitable except for himself, so he saluted respectfully and said: "The minister receives the order, but the three thousand Praetorian Guards are not necessary, in front of hundreds of people, even the twelve guards are in vain, and the honor guard of the three thousand armor soldiers is easy to cause misunderstanding, just persuade Jian Zhi and Xuancheng, if you can't persuade it, no matter how many troops you have, it will not help." ”
"Accurate, go quickly!"
