Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Surprise of the Suzaku Gate

Qin Ze is now a very strange existence for Li Er. He was unknown, but he knew someone. Li Er saw great value from him.

But Qin Ze doesn't seek to be motivated, if ordinary people would have given away what they know like a treasure, only this guy has been avoiding contact with him.

Fortunately, this guy has a lot of respect for himself, and he doesn't pose much of a threat. It's okay to knock on weekdays, so why don't Li Er value his performance.

If he were an ordinary person, Li Er would not be so painstaking.

On the other side, Qin Ze sat on the ground, and he also felt a little regretful. This sat for an hour or two, watching the ministers who were full of food and drink leaving the palace gate one by one leisurely and ready to go home. But he has never drunk a sip of water, and he is tired and thirsty.

Fortunately, at this time, Qin Ze saw Cheng Lao Demon in the crowd, which was simply a savior.

As soon as Qin Ze jumped up from the ground, he walked over to meet Cheng Lao Demon. At this time, Cheng Lao Demon also discovered Qin Ze, and quietly hid the cowhide rope in his hand behind him, also towards Qin Ze.

"Uncle Cheng, you have to avenge the kid." Qin Ze brewed emotions as he walked, and when he got close to Cheng Lao You, his eyes were about to squeeze out tears, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

"I don't know what the virtuous nephew is talking about?" Cheng Laoyou still thought that Qin Ze knew that he had done something wrong, and hoped that he would avenge him.

At that moment, he smiled angrily in his heart: "Your Majesty wants to tie you up, who dares to redress your grievances." ”

Obviously, he thought that Qin Ze had really made a big mistake for him, and he could get Li Er to tell him to tie him up.

Qin Ze's face also suddenly changed at this time, and it was replaced by a look of indignation. Stretching out his hand and pointing at the right prison guards, he told him about the grievances he had suffered.

But the more he talked about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, because he found that Cheng Laoyou's hands were behind his back from beginning to end, and he still had a weird smile on his face.

"No, it's a fraud." Qin Ze was shocked, looked at Cheng Laoyou, who was getting closer and closer, and said, "Uncle Cheng, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

"Nothing, a rope." Cheng Laoyou took out the rope behind him and said disapprehantly.

Qin Ze took a step back slightly, stared at the rope in Cheng Laoyou's hand, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing with the rope?" ”

"Haha." Cheng Lao Demon laughed, raised the rope in his hand and said, "Didn't you hear that the virtuous nephew was wronged, and came over to help the virtuous nephew get angry." ”

Ghost Letter!

Qin Ze won't be able to see it at this time, this reason is simply not too fake. When Cheng Lao Demon came just now, he didn't know what he was doing at the Vermilion Bird Gate. So this guy didn't take the rope for the right prison guard at all, it was very likely that he wanted to tie himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Ze suddenly panicked in his heart, and he thought that it was Cheng Lao Demon who planned to announce his personal vendetta because of the donkey cart incident. Tie yourself to Zuo Wuwei and let the soldiers who have eaten locusts vent their anger.

Glancing at Cheng Laoyou, who was getting closer and closer, Qin Ze turned around and ran away without saying a word. Cheng Laoyou, who was behind him, didn't expect Qin Ze to be so clever and run so simply.

Except for Li Er, Qin Ze is not very interested in the so-called high-ranking officials. If he were an ordinary person, he would be a dignified general of Zuo Wuwei who wanted to tie up one to join the army, give the other party a hundred dares, and he would not dare to run a step.

But when facing Qin Ze, this guy just dared to run away, and he ran so obligedly.

However, his character also makes Cheng Laoyou like it very much. He is a military general, and he doesn't have so many officials. Over the years, he has retired from the battlefield, and most of his former subordinates have been scattered elsewhere, and the people who have re-entered have been silent in the face of him one by one, which makes Cheng Laoyou very disappointed. Because he can't see the blood of a soldier.

Seeing Qin Ze running away, the old demon didn't chase after him, so after Qin Ze ran out of ten zhang, he suddenly turned around and snatched the horse lance from the hand of a right prison guard.

Then the whole person bowed down, and the horse lance in his hand spun around the top of his head, and then his body suddenly tensed, and then he struggled to throw the horse lance forward.

The bow is like a thunderbolt, and the arrow is like a meteor. With the sound of whistling wind, the horse lance pierced the sky and flew towards Qin Ze's front.

At this time, Qin Ze also heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, and before he could turn around, he felt a strong wind passing over his head. Then he heard a "bang", and a horse lance more than one person high appeared in front of him.

And at this time, Qin Ze was still running with all his might. It was impossible to stop, so Qin Ze, who couldn't dodge it like this, bumped into the horse lance headlong.

The horse lance was inserted straight into the bluestone slab on the ground, and Qin Ze did not knock the horse lance up with this collision, but instead he was violently bounced back, and he sat on the ground with his butt.

Qin Ze, who was sitting on the ground, only felt like his whole body was falling apart, especially his forehead, and he felt a hot pain.

Qin Ze reached out to touch it, and immediately felt that a large bulging bag appeared in the middle of his forehead, and he was stunned in place at the moment.

And Cheng Laoyou, who was on the other side, also came up slowly at this time, and was about to taunt Qin Ze for a few words. But he saw Qin Ze's forehead at a glance, and his face became extremely wonderful at the moment.

"Haha......"

Cheng Lao Demon almost fell to the ground laughing, covering his stomach with one hand, and constantly pointing at Qin Ze's forehead with the other.

He originally just wanted to stop Qin Ze, but he didn't expect this guy to run so fast. Only then did he hit the horse lance, and now a red mark suddenly appeared on Qin Ze's face from his forehead to his nose. It looks like he has an extra nose, and with Qin Ze's depressed expression, not to mention how funny it is.

"Boy, it's not me who wants to tie you up, it's Your Majesty's intention, you ......"

Speaking of which, Cheng Lao Demon couldn't help it again. Haha laughed and took out the rope and began to tie it to Qin Ze.

And Qin Ze was still stunned at this time. His head was still muffled, and Cheng Laoyou's deafening laughter made him already in a state of fugue.

This time, even Cheng Lao Demon couldn't bear to tie it up too much, so he tied it casually, and pulled Qin Ze towards the Ganlu Palace.

The Ganlu Hall is the place where Li Er meets the minister to deal with state affairs, which is different from the Lizheng Hall. For some officials, they are not eligible to enter the Lizheng Hall.

It is said that the county order, the county order of the lower county is the eighth product, the county order of the lower county is from the seventh product, the county order of the middle county is the seventh product, the county order of the upper county of Zhuzhou is from the sixth product, and the counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao, Henan and Taiyuan are called the towns and counties, and the county order is the six products.

Chang'an City is bounded by Zhuque Street, which is divided into two counties, east and west, one is called Chang'an, and the other is called ten thousand years. These two counties and Henan, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Jinyang, a total of five counties directly under the central government of the county are called Jing County.

For example, the current county magistrate Song Wenzheng of Chang'an County, he is just on the fifth grade. Although the official position is not small, it is still not to the extent that you can enter the main hall.

still attaches great importance to Song Wenzheng and Li Er, he is upright. He has always had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and is deeply loved by the people.

It's just that this time the incident made Li Er a little disappointed, not because he bluntly sued Qin Ze. It was the attitude he showed that made Li Er a little disappointed.

Through his own intelligence organization, Li Er finally figured out everything. also knew that Song Wenzheng sued Qin Ze, but he was not selfish at all.

There are two ways to deal with ordinary officials' offenses, one is to write a proclamation to supervise the imperial history, and they will judge it after review.

The other is to write directly to Li Er, and the use of this method shows that this official has committed a major mistake. But it is obvious that Qin Ze is far from this extent.

Of course, if Li Er hadn't known what had happened in advance, it would have been possible to resentence Qin Ze. Because Song Wenzheng's recital, Qin Ze's four major sins were listed in a row:

"It is shameful to be reluctant to be selfish and destroy the lotus field by boat."

"It hurts people and molests cruise people, which is regarded as unclean."

"Seeing the benefits of rescue, insulting the woman in the water is regarded as unrighteousness."

"Concealing the truth and not reporting it, hiding the deceased privately, is regarded as disrespect."

These four major sins are all justified, the first is that Qin Ze built a boat for his own selfish desires, destroyed the lotus field, and his conduct was shameful.

The second one is that Qin Ze played a game of whack-a-mole with those young ladies, but when he came to Song Wenzheng, it was clear that Qin Ze was deliberately teasing those housekeeper ladies.

Though......

It seems to be a little flirtatious......

The third article is a bit serious, pointing directly at Qin Ze taking advantage of people falling into the water, taking advantage of others, and corrupting customs.

And the most serious is Article 4, which says that Qin Ze concealed the truth and did not report it, and he was also suspected of disrespecting the deceased.

In the law of the Tang Dynasty, with this lightest cane, it is also thirty rods, and it is a thousand miles.

Therefore, if these four charges are implemented, exile from Chang'an will be the smallest punishment for Qin Ze.

The dead are great, this is the normal feeling of human beings, the common nature of the world, and it is a forbidden place that must not be touched.

And this is what makes Li Er feel cold, where does he not know what Song Wenzheng's mind is. The reason why he made such a dead hand was entirely because of the Cui family's intentions.

Cui Ling's father is Cui Lun, who is Song Wenzheng's uncle. This is the family's control over the court, whether it is the Boling Cui clan or the Taiyuan Wang clan, each family has existed for much longer than his Longxi Li clan.

In the vast history, no matter how the dynasties change, the position of these families has never been shaken. Because whoever the emperor is, he needs ministers to serve him. And among the scholars in the world, these families account for eighty percent.

And the voices of these families in the people are far better than those of the royal family. Countless ministers, if they want to elevate themselves, will marry with the family.

Upstarts such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other upstarts, although they are in a high position, they also voluntarily marry the family in order to change their family.

Not to mention other officials, and it is through this marriage that these families consolidate their position.

And this Song Wenzheng is such a kind of person, and he does behave no different in ordinary times. But once the Cui family speaks, he will definitely still help.

Just like this time when Cui Ling asked him to help Qin Ze, he didn't hesitate at all.

And this is what Li Er sees as an emperor, and he is eager for a way to weaken these families. Even if he can't weaken, he can't indulge.

And this Qin Ze incident is an entry point. He needed to use this matter to warn the officials of those families not to ignore the existence of his own emperor.

Song Wenzheng is a middle-aged man in his early forties, born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a deep Sichuan character pattern at the center of his eyebrows, which shows that he is extremely upright.

But such a righteous person, between the court and the family, he still chose the family without hesitation.
