Gao Yu had just written a letter to the Criminal Department Shangshu when he saw Dang Shiying come back.

Looking at Dang Shiying, who was ashamed, Gao Yu couldn't help frowning and said, "The thief is dead?" ”

Dang Shiying bowed his head and said: "The last general is incompetent, and the thief has run away." ”

Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong are Gao Yu's confidant generals, both of whom have the courage to do things inappropriately, and they are also diligent in doing things.

Gao Yu didn't doubt the ability of the two, and said strangely: "How did the thief escape?" ”

Dang Shiying said: "After the thief saw that the river was blocked, he jumped into the water, I was afraid that he ran away from the other side, so I sent some soldiers who knew the water to go down to arrest him, but I didn't expect the thief to go ashore, but just a person in the water to assassinate the officer who went into the water." In just a moment, more than 20 people who went into the water were killed in the water, and later the navy caught up and was killed by him and did not dare to go into the water. ”

Gao Yu didn't expect that after there was a land master in Daxiangguo Temple, there was also a master in the water, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "Then he has to go ashore, you can wait for him to go ashore and then catch him." ”

Dang Shiying thought of the strange place, but still said with a blank face: "The last general also thought like this, so he took people to guard the shore, but the thief killed for a while, and after seeing that no one went into the water, he dived into the water and disappeared. It also happened that ten ships carrying Huashigang were about to enter the city, and the last general did not dare to stop them, so he let go of the river. ”

Gao Yu could only shake his head helplessly when he heard that he had encountered the ship transporting Huashigang.

In recent years, the saint has been particularly fond of Huashi, and Zhu Mian, who is in charge of Huashi Gang affairs, is more favored than these old ministers, and almost all the officials in the southeast are from Zhu Mian's disciples. Zhu Mian has the grace of the saint, but he is also arrogant, and the ship transporting Hua Shigang does not say that he is even Cai Jing when he is in power.

It's a pity that the thief escaped, otherwise when he was caught, he would definitely be able to torture the thief's traces.

Thinking of the helplessness, Gao Yu also waved his hand and said: "I didn't expect that thief's surname Shui to be so good, okay, you go down first." ”

Seeing that Gao Yu did not blame him, Dang Shiying hurriedly thanked Dai De for his farewell.

Gao Yu didn't want to do anything else, so he ate tea and waited in the festival hall. About an hour later, I saw Menzi come to report that the officials of the Criminal Department had asked to see him.

Gao Yu was waiting for the official of the Criminal Department to reply, and hurriedly asked someone to bring him in.

After a while, I saw a capable official enter.

Gao Yu didn't wait for him to salute, and said, "What's the matter?" What can be found? ”

"My lord, Xia Guan asked some monks in Daxiangguo Temple, but the courtyard was a monk named Deng Yuanjue and five people boarding. That Deng Yuanjue once studied Buddhism in Daxiangguo Temple, and was familiar with a supervising temple in the temple, and had borrowed that courtyard for a long time. According to the monks in the temple, the group of people all spoke with Jiangnan accents, and they only said that they came to Tokyo to play, but they rarely left the temple. Three groups of men came to them one after another, and now they are gathered together. I asked some of the forbidden soldiers who were fighting in the temple, and I heard them say that when they were fighting, some people had Jingdong accents, and some had Hedong and Huaixi accents. ”

Gao Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Hedong and Huaixi, and now Hedong Tianhu and Huaixi Wang Qing are both attacking the city, but in order to let the imperial court decide to destroy Liao, everyone worked together to suppress the matter.

In their opinion, Tian Hu and Wang Qing are just two grass cowards, even if they toss for a few years, it won't become much of a climate, but if they are put on top of the court, they will be used by those who oppose Lianjin to destroy Liao, so they try their best to suppress it.

If it's really them, the conspirator is also a giant bandit, and the biggest thief in Jingdong is Liangshan, I don't know which way of people in Jiangnan is.

If there are really Liangshan people, it must be the Liangshan thieves who kidnapped his son, not Tian Hu, and the person who drove the boat also had a Jingdong accent, it seems that there is still a gap between these thieves. However, Lin Chong is the leader of Liangshan, and if his son falls into the hands of Liangshan thieves, he is afraid that his surname will not be guaranteed. The people of Liangshan kidnapped their son, probably so that Lin Chong could take revenge with his own hands.

Gao Yu has adopted Gao Yanei for several years, although Gao Yanei said that he was doing evil and caused him a lot of trouble, but after all, he was raised as a son, and his feelings are still very deep, otherwise he would not have harmed Lin Chong for Gao Yanei.

Thinking that from now on it might be forever separated, I couldn't help but see a dark in front of me, my body shook, and I didn't fall down by holding on to the table.

Seeing this, the official of the Criminal Department hurriedly said with concern: "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Gao Yu closed his eyes and calmed down, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Immediately, he summoned a few close guards and asked them to spread the news from Tokyo to various checkpoints and state capitals in Liangshan to arrest the Liangshan thieves.

However, Gao Yu also knew that it was just a matter of doing his best, if his son really fell into the hands of the Liangshan thieves, that is, when he took the Liangshan thieves, I am afraid that what he snatched back would only be the corpse.

Gao Yu sent someone to pass on the book, and saw that the officials of the Criminal Department were still waiting below, thought about it, and said, "Where do you speculate that Deng Yuanjue and his gang came from?" Don't be afraid to say the wrong thing, this is not a court, tell me what you think. ”

Seeing Gao Yu's kind appearance, the official also plucked up the courage to say: "Those people like to wear white clothes, and there seem to be some religious rituals, we speculate that they may be people from Jiangnan Manichaeism." ”

When Gao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but doubt: "Manichaeism? I heard that the assassination of the son of the Taishi in Jiangzhou was also a Manichaean, right? ”

Cai Jiu's assassination was also handled as a major case by the Criminal Department, but later Cai Jing dismissed the prime minister, and it was over.

This official of the Criminal Department also knew about Cai Jiu's affairs, and said: "Well, the people in Jiangzhou who were dressed in white and black hats before must be Manichaeans, but Deng Yuanjue's gang only wore white clothes, and they may also be afraid of being arrested by the government." If you wear only white, it will not be so noticeable. ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "I heard that the Manichaeans have formed a secret society in Jiangnan and developed many followers, do you know their details?" ”

"I heard that there are many Manichaean believers, in order to avoid people's eyes, they call Manichaeism in Jiangnan, Mingjiao in Fujian, Erjunizi in Huainan, Siguo in Jinghu Road, King Kong Chan, and Jiedi Zhai in Fujian, but they are all Ming envoys, and it should be a sect."

Gao Yu couldn't help but panic when he heard that the Manichaeans were all over the road, and immediately asked people to prepare horses and come to Liang Shicheng's mansion.

Liang Shicheng heard Gao Yu asking to see him, so he asked him to come in.

Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng met the ceremony, so they told the story of Daxiangguo Temple today and his speculation one by one.

Liang Shicheng was also shocked when he heard that so many grass cowards were coming to Tokyo, and scolded: "How do you manage the forbidden army? Let so many thieves come into the city, and kill and wound many people, and even your son will be taken away. Tokyo is so unsafe, is it possible that I should live in the palace again? ”

When Gao Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your lordship, Xiaguan will let people closely investigate the inside and outside of the capital, if any thief dares to stay in the city, he will definitely not be able to escape the capture of the forbidden army, and Xiaguan will send some elite forbidden troops to protect the safety of adults." ”

Liang Shicheng looked at Gao Yu with a sincere and frightened look, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much, nodded and said: "Just do as you say, you must not let the thieves make trouble in the city again, otherwise I won't be able to protect you by then." ”

Gao Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, don't worry, adults." It's just that the thieves have made a deal with the surnames of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the whole city has been rumored, and I am afraid that there will be people in the court to make trouble, and I ask the adults to take care of it. ”

Liang Shicheng nodded and said, "I will let Wang Hao and others shirk for you, and I didn't hurt the princes and ministers, so don't worry." But your son has been taken captive, and thou shalt not let people seize the handle. ”

Gao Yu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will deal with it impartially, and only catch the thieves of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the safety of the dog will be resigned to fate." ”

Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "That's good, okay, if you have nothing to do, go back first, our family also has to enter the palace, and blow the wind with the saint first, so as not to provoke the anger of the saint Longyan in the court." ”

Gao Yu thought about it, but still said, "Adults are slow." ”

"Anything else?"

"If Hedong Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing, Jingdong Chaogai and the Jiangnan Manichaeism make a rebellion together, I am afraid that the damage will be great. We need to be prepared. ”

Liang Shicheng listened, frowned and said: "Liangshan Chaogai I know, I robbed Gaotang Prefecture and Dongping Mansion before, and I sent Guan Sheng to exterminate them, I don't want the whole army to be wiped out, and there are not a few thieves in Liangshan." But didn't Tian Hu and Wang Qing say that they were just two grass cowards? Why does the court still have to guard against them? ”

Gao Yu glanced at Liang Shicheng cautiously and said, "Tian Hu and Wang Qing are also each holding tens of thousands of people, if they make a fuss together, I'm afraid the local state capital will not be able to resist." ”

When Liang Shicheng heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, picked up a tea cup on the table and threw it on Gao Yu, scolding: "These are the two little grass cowards you told me, every time our family says to serve the emperor, you deceive me like this." Tens of thousands of people, two people together are 100,000 people, how many people are in charge of you, the captain, if they are little grass cowards, what are you? ”

Although Gao Yu is a lieutenant and is also favored by the Son of Heaven, he still can't be compared with Liang Shicheng's status.

In addition to the merry son of heaven, he also loves Danqing calligraphy and painting, occasionally goes to the court, and the time is not long, and it is difficult for the idle minister to see the saint, so he can only hand the fold inside, but Liang Shicheng is in charge of passing the holy decree outside, and no one can tell whether the holy decree is true or false, and no one dares to question it.

Gao Yu was also afraid that he would receive the holy decree of condemnation one day, so he naturally didn't dare to dodge, and was suddenly drenched by the uneaten tea in the tea cup, and hurriedly said: "It's not that the lower officials want to hide it from the adults, but Wang Hao and Tong Guan are afraid that they will miss the matter of Lianjin to destroy Liao, so they don't allow the lower officials to tell the truth to the adults." ”

When Liang Shicheng heard that it was Wang Hao's idea, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and shouted loudly for people to pass on Wang Hao.

Wang Hao previously from Cai Jing, and then changed to Liang Shicheng, Ping said that Liang Shicheng was like a son respecting his father, and he was also called "Mr. Enfu", and Liang Shicheng was recently planning for him to be the prime minister.
