Chapter 288: Closing the Net

Last time? "On the way we came, didn't those victims say that doing business with the City and the City Department can be done as long as you pay bribes. If you spend a small amount of money, you can make a lot of money, but this money is all from the imperial court. At that time, I didn't really believe that the government would do such a thing, but now that I encounter Gan Laohan and Huimin Pharmacy, I believe it a little. Now you don't need a proof, try it for yourself to find out if it's true or not. ”

"What do you mean,,?

"Fifth master. I've already thought about it, I'm going to buy all the adulterated medicinal materials in the Huimin Pharmacy, and then I'm going to pay bribes. Let's see if we can sell these fake drugs to the Shiyi Division, and then let Lord Wang buy them to see if I can bring this batch of goods back. Isn't that proof? ”

"Good!" Song Shenzong stroked his palms and shouted, "This method is very good!" You do it right away! Right away! ”

"Yes!" Du Wenhao was ordered to turn around and leave, but Song Shenzong suddenly stopped him again: "I'll go with you!" They are a small county government, and no one will know me. I want to see with my own eyes how these brutes are doing to the people! ”

Du Wenhao hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "Fifth Master, you have to go, but you have to calm down, don't get excited, the two of us can't withstand so many minions, we have to treat them, and when the people are transferred, they can't run left and right." ”

"Rest assured. I know what to expect! ”

Two hours later, Song Shenzong's eyes erupted with fire, and he strode out of the yamen on the bluestone pavement, followed by Du Wenhao, who was carrying a large stack of silver tickets in his arms, which was the money they had just obtained by selling several carts of adulterated medicinal materials to Yamen Cheng Yisi. Of course, before this, Du Wenhao asked the shopkeeper of Huimin Pharmacy Luo to help spend money to get acquainted. The money was quickly smashed open the hands and mouths of the large and small officials of the City Yi Division.

After seeing Du Wenhao's heavy bribes, his eyes lit up, and he had only known each other for a while, and he had already called him a brother, and he happily bought all of Du Wenhao's medicinal materials at a price higher than twice the market price, and he didn't even look at it. He ordered it to be sent to the medicinal herb warehouse.

This is the first time Du Wenhao has given a bribe, and he began to feel embarrassed. I don't have enough confidence to speak. But when you really send the money away, the other party's eyes light up and you take it, and you think it's too easy. Song Shenzong pretended to be a partner. After listening to Du Wenhao's phone call and witnessing the whole story, his anger burned to the top of his head. The teeth were about to be crushed, so the anger was suppressed, and when he left the gate of the yamen, he didn't care that he was the king of a country and began to scold his mother.

Now wait for Wang Anshi and the others to come back, pretend to be a pharmacist to buy the same medicinal materials, and see if they can buy the adulterated medicine.

Wang Anshi, Yu Ge'er and Ning Gonggong returned to the pharmacy, Wang Anshi listened to Du Wenhao what happened, he was not angry, because he didn't believe that there would be such a thing at all, he and Song Shenzong were similar, along the way, he had not stayed at the grassroots level after the imperial examination nomination, in current words, there was no grassroots work experience, he naturally did not believe that there were such shady things in the world, just stared at Du Wenhao blankly. He didn't seem to believe him at all. But looking at Song Shenzong's angry face, he knew that this was true,

See Wang Anshi like this. Du Wenhao knew the personality of this old master, lest he would not be able to suppress his anger. In case of startling the snake, wouldn't it be a waste of his previous efforts, worried that he would be exposed when he went to buy the goods, after discussion, he still asked the shopkeeper of Huimin Pharmacy Luo to take him there, and let him talk as little as possible, not to reveal his identity, Wang Anshi also knows that the matter is very important, and he must focus on the overall situation, so he has to endure this breath first.

The shopkeeper of Naluo knew that Du Wenhao was the five-grade imperial doctor and was serving the doctor. I was so scared that I was going to die, so I naturally didn't dare to disobey Du Wenhao's words, thinking that this time might be an opportunity to make up for my mistakes, and maybe it would be a meritorious performance in the future, so I first helped Du Wenhao bribe and sell medicine, and then took Wang Anshi to take medicine with some energy.

When it's dark. Wang Anshi and Shopkeeper Luo are back. A cart of medicinal materials was transported back, and Du Wenhao checked it. Sure enough, it was one of the batch of medicinal materials they sold to Yi Si in Yamen City at noon!

Song Shenzong couldn't hold back the anger in his heart again, and ordered Wang Anshi to go to the local garrison to identify himself, dispatch the army to surround the entire Yamen, and capture all the people in the Yamen Division, together with the Yamen Zhixian and others.

Without waiting for Wang Anshi to agree, he heard a mess outside the window, and the voices of crying father and mother came and went. Yu Ge'er hurriedly ran to the window to look out, and said happily: "There is no need to transfer the army." A lot of soldiers are coming! ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly walked to the window to take a look, and saw a large number of soldiers hurrying downstairs with weapons.

Xiao Ningzi. You go downstairs and ask the innkeeper to see what happened. ”

"Fifth master. Then I'm still going to find someone to transfer troops now? ”

"Not for now. Let's see what's going on downstairs. Song Shenzong's face was gloomy, and Wang Anshi retreated knowingly.

Soon Gonggong Ning ran up, walked up to Song Shenzong with a nervous expression and whispered, who would have thought that Song Shenzong was angry, and shouted: "Give me a louder voice." You haven't eaten or what's the matter? ”

Recently, Song Shenzong has been angry, and even Gonggong Ning and Du Wenhao, who are rarely scolded, can't help but be careful.

Father-in-law Ning listened. Quickly changed his tone and said loudly: "It is said that the residents are besieging the City Yi Division." When they rushed to meet the military force, they were escorted to the yamen, and because there were too many people, they were temporarily detained in the backyard. ”

"What words! Have you asked the reason, why did you escort so many ordinary people to the yamen for no reason? ”

"Asked. Residents said that the city has been buying daily necessities such as grain, oil, vegetables and so on at high prices, resulting in high market prices and small traders going bankrupt one after another, and ordinary people cannot buy daily necessities. That's it."

"It's the other way around. On the contrary, what's the use of keeping this kind of official, wait for me to find someone to get these dog officials! Before Song Shenzong could catch fire, Wang Anshi couldn't hold it back, and rushed out of the door as he spoke.

Wang Anshi's fire, Song Shenzong calmed down: "You come back for me." ”

"Wang Aiqing is right, no, you can't go alone, you take Miss Lin with you just in case.

"Fifth master, I think it's better to let Miss Lin stay by your side, just let Yu Ge'er go with me, I think she's okay." Not only is I articulate, but my kung fu is also passable, and besides, if I reveal my identity, there shouldn't be any big problems. ”

"Fifth master. I think what Shopkeeper Wang said is reasonable, it is safer to let Sister Qingdai and I stay by your side. ”

Song Shenzong thought about it and waved his hand, Wang Anshi took Yu Ge'er to leave, and Song Shenzong said again: "Yu Ge'er, you," forget it, go ahead, you be careful. ”

"You can rest assured. I'll take care of Lord Wang. Yu Ge'er understood what Song Shenzong wanted to say, so he quickly expressed his attitude.

As soon as Wang Anshi and Yu Ge'er left, Song Shenzong sat in front of the window and looked at the chaotic scene downstairs, with a serious expression and a word. Du Wenhao and the three of them had no choice but to stand aside and quietly wait for Wang Anshi's news.

Time seemed to stand still, and after a century passed, finally Shu Shipin sneered as if he had come back from a fugue, Du Nuhao and they stood on the side, their waists were all painful, their feet were cramping, Song Shenzong smiled so coldly, Ning Gonggong almost fell.

"Fifth master, what are you laughing at?" Father-in-law Ning leaned on the windowsill and stared at Song Shenzong's expression carefully, lest there was something else in this smile.

Song Shenzong looked at the three of them, saw that they were all tired, and said with a smile: "Why are you standing, hurry up and sit down." ”

As if he had received amnesty, Du Wenhao was the first to sit down, and he couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, seeing that Song Shenzong was looking at him, he was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I accidentally twisted it a few days ago, and it hasn't been better." ”

"Well, knowing you're not a hypocritical person, do you know what I'm laughing at?"

"I don't know," the three replied in unison.

Song Shenzong pointed at Lin Qingdai, in addition to talking more in front of Du Wenhao, Lin Qingdai also shared a room with Yu Ge'er along the way. They rarely spoke, and the other three men were even more speechless, seeing Song Shenzong suddenly pointing at him. For some reason, my face turned red when I brushed the ground.

"I have three smiles, and one smile is Miss Lin."

"Fifth master, I" What is so funny about me? Lin Qingdai peeked at Du Wenhao, and saw that he was also inexplicable, and her heart was even more bottomless.

"Laugh at your feelings for Wen Hao are very hidden, if it weren't for the eyes that don't lie, who would know?"

When Lin Qingdai heard this, her smile turned even redder. Du Wenhao was thinking, what kind of person is Song Shenzong, when is it, how can he joke with everyone so easily, it is not strange for him to open up, he is a person who is like watching the fire. Where can I hide it from him, but it seems a little inappropriate to say this at this time.

"Let the fifth master smile, or can't hide the eyes of the fifth master, what are the second laughing at?" Du Wenhao deliberately opened the topic, lest he be afraid that Lin Qingdai would be eager to find a crack to drill.

"These two laughs are naturally a joke of the pigeon and the old master Wang."

The three of them laughed when they heard it, and Song Shenzong: "Don't look at the old master with a face hanging all day, but the heart is still good, except for being more serious." But I met Yu Ge'er and dared to call him out, his anger, I also followed his will to say a good meal Yu Ge'er, one is to give Yu Ge'er a wake-up call, her character in the harem is to suffer, although I never ask about the harem, but I also know that there are many women, there are many unnatural, not that she Yu Ge'er can do whatever she wants, and secondly, take the opportunity to let them get to know each other again, you see that it is good now, even the grandfather is called, you think about it, in fact, the old master's advantage is enough, Yu Ge'er called his grandfather, isn't that older than me.

Everyone laughed again, and when Gonggong Ning saw that Song Shenzong didn't have something to say, he quickly took his words and asked, "What about the three smiles?" ”

Song Shenzong suddenly stopped laughing, got up and pointed downstairs, and said in a deep voice: "Laugh at myself, laugh at me for sitting on the Jinjian Hall all day long and thinking that the people are healthy and prosperous, listening to the civil and military officials singing praises to me all day long, I think that I am really doing a good job, in fact, I am wrong, in fact, the most ridiculous person in the world is myself." The frog at the bottom of the well is a mouse's eye. ”

When the three of them heard this, they quickly knelt on the ground, Du Wenhao: "Your Majesty, it's not your fault, it's wrong that these people have a greedy word in their hearts, they can't see your kindness to them, and they are eating the emperor's food and holding Yulu but doing things that run counter to your intentions." It's not your fault. ”

"Your Majesty, what Master Du said is right, it's not your fault, it's all their father-in-law Ning hasn't finished speaking, suddenly there was a bang at the door, Lin Qingdai rushed out of the door, only to see a black shadow flash on the ground, and jumped downstairs.

Lin Qingdai returned to the room and said to Song Shenzong: "Fifth Master, it seems that we can't stay in this place for a long time, and someone may have heard our conversation just now." ”

Song Shenzong's expression was indifferent, he shook his head, and said, "No, let's stay here and wait for Wang Anshi and Yu Ge'er, I want to see what they want to do when they know my true identity." ”

"Your Majesty, let's go, Miss Lin is right. We only have four of us now. No matter how powerful Miss Lin is, she is outnumbered. Father-in-law Ning persuaded.

"Don't say anything about any of you, I'll just wait here, my dignified emperor of the Song Dynasty is still a turtle with a shrunken head?"

Everyone saw that persuasion couldn't be done, so they had to close the door, Lin Qingdai was guarding the door, and Du Wenhao was watching the situation downstairs from the window.

Half an hour later, there was a sudden rush of footsteps downstairs: "Fifth master, fifth master, no, a lot of victims suddenly rushed in downstairs." said that there is a rich fifth master here who wants you to buy grain and put porridge, so you better leave quickly. ”

Lin Qingdai opened the door and took a look, it turned out to be the owner of the inn, only to see the boss look flustered, quickly closed the door when he entered the door, walked in front of Song Shenzong, and said: "I don't know who said that the little fifth master, you" It's too late, you better go first, I'll let the guy resist for a while, I'm afraid it won't be long before I resist. ”

didn't have time to think about it, Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai sent the innkeeper away, knocked the window and took a look, and sure enough, they saw a lot of refugees pouring into the door of the inn downstairs, and they were about to rush in.

"The emperor asked Sister Qingdai to send you through the back door first." Du Wenhao said eagerly.

Song Shenzong saw that he couldn't leave at this time, and he got up and was about to leave with Lin Qingdai, when the door suddenly slammed open, Du Wenhao and they looked back nervously, and it turned out to be Wang Anshi and Yu Ge'er

"Your Majesty, we're back to pick you up." Yu Ge'er rushed to Song Shenzong.

"What about the man you called?" Song Shenzong saw that there was not a single soldier behind them, his heart sank, and his mouth trembled a little when he spoke.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we have found someone, they are on the way here, Yu Ge'er and I are worried about your safety, so we rushed back first, who thought that when I was about to enter the door just now, I suddenly felt wrong, so I hurriedly came in through the back door."

Father-in-law Ning was anxious, and said: "Then you should also find a few people to follow, what should I do now, how can someone say that the fifth master is rich, and he has found a group of refugees to make trouble and ask the emperor to buy grain and put porridge, how is this good?" ”

"I think it's fake to buy grain and put porridge, and some people have shown that the emperor's micro-service is true, and they want to do something while the chaos is true."

"Wen Hao is right, it's not realistic to go out to find someone now, I can't go away, since people are prepared, the back door naturally won't work, or just wait here for reinforcements." Song Shenzong sat down again as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, when we just came, there was a familiar figure in the crowd now, and this person was the most violent." Wang Anshi suddenly thought of something, walked up to Song Shenzong and said.

"A familiar figure? Who are you familiar with? "Song Shenzong felt that things were a little strange1, Wang Anshi knew someone who should be an official, and since he was an official, then this matter must not be accidental.

"Lu Huiqing!"

Song Shenzong thought about it, this official of the imperial court above the fourth grade himself has not been "conceived, and he has no impression of being tattooed!" "Tattoo a country. What is the value of being now? ”

"In the past, he was a subordinate of Weichen, but later he fell out with Weichen because of the change of the law, and he was a treacherous villain, this villain was the most noisy in the crowd, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with him."

Song Shenzong pondered for a moment. Said: "I remember, you recommended this person in front of me before, what did you tell me at that time?" ”

Wang Anshi was embarrassed. A look of shame: "Weichen once said that Huiqing's sage is not very good, although the Confucians in the previous life are not easy to compare." Those who can use the way of the first king are only Huiqing. ”

"Oh, it seems that people are really going to become, whether he is the initiator of this matter or not, I can't let him go later."

"Yes!"

As he was talking, he heard a noisy sound in the corridor from far and near, and someone shouted loudly: "We want to ask this rich fifth master to buy us food, these rich people eat and drink spicy food all day long, we are all going to starve to death, we can't let him die without help, sit idly by, don't you say?" ”

"That's it, that's it, we can eat a meal for these rich people for a year."

"Let's go, let's find this fifth master to buy us food."

"Let's go and ask him to buy us something to eat.

Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai glanced at each other, Yu Ge'er stepped forward and said to Lin Qingdai: "Sister, you will follow the emperor to protect the emperor, my kung fu is not good and follow Lord Du to resist at the door, if you can't resist." You can jump out of the window with the emperor and run away, and leave us alone. ”

Yu Ge'er said yes. The most important thing now is to protect the emperor, you go. Du Wenhao said to Lin Qingdai.

Lin Qingdai had just walked to Song Shenzong's side. The door was knocked open, and Wang Anshi saw that it was Lu Huiqing, the villain!

"What are you going to do?" Wang Anshi walked to the door and shouted1 staring at Lu Huiqing with sharp eyes.

Lu Huiqing glanced at the people in the room with a pair of thief eyes, and didn't care what Wang Anshi said, suddenly pointed at Song Shenzong, and said: "This person is the fifth master, everyone give it to me, if he doesn't give money, we will rob it." As he spoke, he rushed towards Song Shenzong.

Lin Qingdai saw Lu Huiqing rushing over, who thought that Lu Huiqing would do some kung fu when she raised her feet, she had already taken precautions and dodged Lin Qingdai's glance with her head lowered, and went straight towards Song Shenzong.

Lin Qingdai grabbed Lu Huiqing with her backhand and threw it out in the air, Lu Huiqing didn't expect that there was such a master by Song Shenzong's side, and after staggering a few steps to stand firm, she smiled coldly: "It seems that you don't want to give money, everyone will rob me." ”

How did the refugees know that the person they wanted to rob was the current emperor, and when they heard Lu Huiqing shouting like this, they all rushed up, and the scene became chaotic at that time.

Du Wenhao and Yu Ge'er protected Wang Anshi and Ning Gonggong, there were too many people, Du Wenhao let himself calm down quickly. Some of him were not refugees because they were not here for money, but for weapons, and it seemed that they wanted their lives. Seeing this, Du Wenhao no longer showed mercy to his subordinates, and quickly overturned many people with Lin Qingdai's wrong hand, and approached Lin Qingdai, then Lu Huiqing regarded herself as inferior to Lin Qingdai and had no way to take Song Shenzong behind her, and was about to take out the hidden weapon from her arms. Who would have thought that there was a gust of wind behind him, a sharp pain in his shoulder, and a dart in his hand fell to the ground.

"No one is allowed to move. We are the officials of the imperial court, and I am the captain of the Wupin Martial Arts, and if anyone dares to move again, I will ask someone to take you down one by one. ”

When the refugees heard that it was the people of the imperial court, they immediately panicked, and they all knelt down in a puff, Lu Huiqing sneered, and said, "You asked someone to take us down?" What about your people? You said that you are a five-rank martial arts cavalry captain, what evidence do you have? ”

Du Wenhao signaled Lin Qingdai to protect Song Shenzong, lest someone take the opportunity to attack Song Shenzong, and then took out the waist card of the five-grade martial arts knight from his arms, and everyone didn't dare to move when they saw it.

Lu Huiqing laughed. said: "I'm afraid you picked it up somewhere, hmph, don't believe these people." ”

Before Lu Huiqing's words were finished, the officers and soldiers who rushed in from outside the door with shields and military sticks rushed in front of Song Shenzong and knelt down for an officer: "Your Majesty, the last general is late to escort him, and he deserves ten thousand crimes."

Lu Huiqing and several people in the crowd on the side saw that the situation was not good and wanted to slip away, but Du Wenhao grabbed Lu Huiqing's elbow. Lu Huiqing wanted to resist, but slapped a palm on Du Wenhao's chest, and suddenly felt a stinging pain in his palm, as if he had been pricked by something, and squatted on the ground with a sigh.

After the officer asked all the refugees to be driven out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Song Shenzong was also secretly frightened into a cold sweat. Lin Qingdai stepped aside, and everyone knelt in front of Song Shenzong. Song Shenzong stepped forward. With both hands raised, he said loudly: "All Aiqing escort meritorious people get up, this time Lianwei Service originally wanted to see what kind of good life the people lived after the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, who wanted this trip to be very cold, Lang Lang, blue sky and white day, there will be a lot of shocking things in Lian, such corrupt officials do not govern the common people do not have a good life, not to say." Sooner or later, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of these people, so they should be killed, and they should be killed, and they should be killed, and they cannot be soft. ”

Song Shenzong walked to Lu Huiqing's side, at this time, Lu Huiqing no longer had the arrogance of Fang Cai, he sat on the ground paralyzed like a water dog, his head lowered, cold sweat dripping on the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at Song Shenzong in front of him.

"You are Lu Huiqing?"

"Back to the emperor, the guilty minister is exact."

"I remembered. He was the chief official of the prince Zhongyun and Chongzheng Palace, and also the detailed text of the banquet pavilion and the regulations of the three divisions, Sinong Temple, Guozijian, and Ordnance Prison, Wang Aiqing, Lian is not mistaken, right? ”

"Your Majesty, you are not mistaken."

"Your Majesty, the guilty ministers know their mistakes, the guilty ministers deserve to die, the guilty ministers are all instructed by others, and I ask the emperor to spare the guilty minister's life."

Song Shenzong glanced at Lu Huiqing contemptuously and said, "Lianben really wanted to spare your life, after all, you are still a talented person." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, and the guilty ministers will do their best to assist the king to change the law with all his might, so as to live up to the emperor's great kindness." Lu Huiqing hurriedly expressed her position.

"Don't worry, Lian's words haven't been finished yet, I didn't want to kill you, but Lian can't shake his tail and beg for mercy of the filthy villain, although you are talented, but you have no virtue, so such a person will leave a disaster in the world sooner or later, come to someone." Drag me out! ”

"Your Majesty, spare your life. Your Majesty, spare your life!! ”

"Wang Anshi."

"Minister!"

"Order you to set up a Xuan Dai to arrest the magistrate of the county, the good city of Yi Si to investigate and deal with his embezzlement identity, and force him to come out

On the day, Song Shenzong ordered the bribe-taking officials of Yi Si in Dongming City to be beheaded. After returning to the capital, he ordered Lu Huiqing to be beheaded.
