Chapter Seventy-Seven: Discord

I don't know when Wei Zhen haunted most often was not the prime minister's mansion with rows of high-rise buildings, but this damp and cold dark pavilion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe information that the dead soldiers exchanged for their lives, after being filtered layer by layer, only a small part was deemed useful and sent to him. Gong Baiyu often stood behind Wei Zhen and quietly examined his annotations, but never said a word.

Tonight, Wei Zhen came here again, and three major events shocked his mind.

First of all, not long after Han Ping left the city, he was killed by the gangsters, Han Ping did not carry much property, but the jade pendants on his body, a few clothes given by the emperor, these only valuable items, were still there when a small pharmacist who entered the city to sell medicine found Han Ping's body, which proves that the gangsters did not want to make money, but went specifically to kill Han Ping.

Second, the Assassin case did not receive much attention from Bai Mo, although he said many things to his subordinates, such as "to solve this case quickly by all means and at all costs", he had little interest in interrogating the arrested Assassins, and even his spies found that he was napping while interrogating the Assassins.

The third incident did not occur in the capital, but outside the Guanguan, and should probably be classified as military intelligence. The first tribe outside the Guan, the Xianbei tribe, the leader of the Wu Naidun begging Yan, was killed by his general Dugu Kuaiya in May this year, this news was handed over to the informant of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the border after being learned by a Central Plains merchant outside the Guan, because after this incident, Dugu Kuaidun lied that Wu Naidun was sick in bed, and sent a letter of love to the Imperial Court Pawn Office in the name of Wu Naidun, and the court did not know. And because the Xianbei tribe is far away from Fengjing, the speed of information transmission is very slow, and Wei Zhen only learned about it today. But this alone can't make Wei Zhen upset, the wild people outside the gate often kill their fathers and usurpers, what really makes Wei Zhen puzzled is that Dugu Kuaidon did not clean up Wu Naidun's cronies after killing the king, and he didn't even covet power, leaving a puppet to continue to pretend to be Wu Naidun and continue to block the news, Dugu Kuaidan led the troops west, and no one knew where he went.

I didn't feel the yin wind rising, and the ghost knocked on the door.

Wei Zhen raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Come in." ”

The first one to come in was Gong Baiyu.

He was followed by a young man in a costume and greased and powdered, this young man was still carrying an erhu, and after a few steps, he actually walked in front of Gong Baiyu, looking like a ghost, and the shape was the same. This person is the most important and most powerful spy under Wei Zhen, and now ranks sixth in the killing products, claiming to be the second killer in the world, nicknamed the tide, and his real name is not even known to Wei Zhen.

Lang Chao'er walked up to Wei Zhen and said with a smile: "Childe, are you still killing fish today?" ”

Since Wei Zheng became the master of the dead forces in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a fishy smell in this room every day, and everyone was a little disgusted, but no one dared to say that except for the tide, he had to make fun of this matter every time he came here.

Wei Zhen frowned.

Gong Baiyu said in a deep voice at this time: "Little master, the tide has brought new information. ”

"New information? The information sent today is enough to give me a headache. ”

"Hehe, I promise Childe would be happy to hear this. To be precise, this can't be called new information, it should be the answer to one of the several questions that Childe is now confused about. ”

"Please."

"I've figured out who Han Ping was killed for."

"So fast?"

"Of course. If we didn't have this ability, we wouldn't be able to lick our faces and eat so much. - I can guarantee that the Prime Minister's Mansion is the first force to know that Han Ping is dead, and the first to know who killed Han Ping, in addition to the murderer. If it weren't for Mr. Gong's kindness, I would have asked for an additional amount. Well, without further ado, let's talk about Han Ping. ”

Talking nonsense, the tide paused, and still sold a pass: "Childe thinks that Han Ping's death, who is the most suspicious?" ”

Wei Zhen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty today." ”

"How so?"

"Your Majesty and I, the Han and Wei families, are becoming more and more estranged, and now they are even more estranged from the Han family. If Han Ping is killed, Han Ping's sons will definitely be in a struggle for power and profit, and in order to obtain an orthodox position, they will definitely work hard to curry favor with the saints, and the hidden danger of the Korean rebellion can be eliminated. ”

"Well, Childe's guess is a bit taken for granted. How do you know that his sons will not be more united because of their father's death, give up their old hatred, and work together to overthrow my Great Jin? It is said that Han Ping is very good to these sons, and they are all filial sons. ”

Wei Zhen frowned and said, "Since you claim that you already know who is manipulating behind it, why don't you just say it?" ”

"Haha, isn't this running around every day for the sake of the son, a little boring, and I want to relieve my boredom? Forget it, since Childe is so anxious, I'll just say it. The murderer is indeed difficult to guess, because no one takes him seriously, and he can act unscrupulously. Speaking of which, this murderer is still an acquaintance of Wei Gongzi. ”

"Who?"

"The new court lieutenant, white ink and white Zishu."

Wei Zhen was shocked: "Impossible! Brother Bai is upright, how could he do such a dark and dirty thing? Besides, Bai Mo was clearly interrogating the prisoner in the court office this afternoon, how could he kill Han Ping by himself? ”

"How do you know that the white ink in the Imperial Lieutenant's Office is the real white ink? How do you know that Bai Mo's interrogation of prisoners in the Imperial Lieutenant's Office is indeed true? Childe, after taking over the dark department, you are still so naΓ―ve. After today's court meeting, Bai Mo went to the Prince's Mansion, what they discussed secretly, I don't know, but nine times out of ten it is related to Han Ping's assassination. Also, look at what I found near Han Ping's body. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a strip of cloth from her bosom. The strips of cloth are embroidered with faint clouds that can only be detected up close.

"Compare it with Bai Mo's iconic white clothes."

Wei was dumbfounded.

Gong Baiyu said in a timely manner: "Childe, the old slave thinks that what Chao'er said has a certain truth, and there is evidence here." ”

"Got it, is there anything else?"

"The old slave has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Tell me about it."

Gong Baiyu pointed to the big fish on the wooden frame behind Wei Zhen: "It's all stinky." Do you want the old slave to send someone to change it to a new one? ”

"Let's change it."

"Also, Gongzi Wen will return to Wei tomorrow. In the future, the post of Zhisu Neishi will be filled by Pinghuai Ling Xun Wufei. In exchange, you will be appointed as a pawn in the future. It is precisely because of this that the information outside the customs has been changed to your desk on the prime minister's table. I hope that the little master can pay more attention to things outside the customs in the future. ”

Wei Zhen said lightly: "I will." ”

Before Gong Baiyu left, he said something to Wei Zheng seriously.

"Today's situation is the same as when the old man took over the position of prime minister from the Han family at the age of twenty-five. The wind is surging, dangerous and treacherous, and the court is in the midst of great changes. The world of the future will belong to young people like the little master. Looking at the ten sons of the imperial examination, the mainstays are all like Xu Yan, Bai Mo, Xun Wupeng, Ye Cun and others who have not yet been established, and older figures such as Na Fangbo, Zhang Xing, Sui Ming, etc., are not brilliant. Because the old man has seen so much, he has become more and more restrained, and he does not dare to take advantage of the situation, and if he changes because of the situation, he will be eliminated by the change. The opening of the imperial court is to seek change, to expel the Han family, to seek change, the old master gives up the son of Wen, and chooses the little master, you, is also to seek change. Therefore, the little master must not abide by the old rules, and must know that the gentleman does everything he can, and in response to this great change in the situation, he can become a part of it, so as to truly change without being surprised. ”

……

"The older a person is, the easier it is to take risks."

This is Bai Mo's emotion after he came out of the Confucian Mansion.

After he carried that Miss Kong to Kong Geng's bedroom next door, he not only found the letters in Yun Lianfeng's mouth on the desk, but also found a large number of evidence of Kong Geng's evil in other aspects. Among them, the variety of transactions and the huge amount are outrageous.

It's not Bai Mo, the first fire is going to burn on Kong Geng's head.

It's that Kong Geng has done too many evil things by himself, and he happened to be discovered by Bai Mo.

Guo Dalin's case can basically be qualified.

First of all, his father suffered from a strange disease, and after seeking medical treatment everywhere to no avail, a traveling doctor found him, claiming that he could prescribe a good prescription for this disease, but it was easy to prescribe but difficult to find medicine.

The prescription was full of things from the child's body, and it had to be taken alive, and the first drop of the child's blood must be used as a medicine.

So Guo Dalin found his uncle who was the county magistrate, Guo Dakai. Guo Dakai gave him advice, saying that now the court is extremely Confucian, and there is a precedent for the son to protect his father's betrayal, so let him find a poor family to succeed a child, kill the son and feed the father, not only may he be found not guilty, but also win the reputation of a filial son.

Therefore, Guo Dalin succeeded Yun Lianfeng's son on the grounds that he had no children under his knees and was looking for someone to support his old age, and soon after, he killed him and made medicine. But the medicine was obviously of no use, but the healer had disappeared after receiving the money.

Guo Dalin thought of the consequences at this time, and felt that the reason Guo Dakai said was still not very safe, so in order to prevent Yun Lianfeng from reporting the case, he sent someone to assassinate him, but the assassin could not compare with these well-trained professional killers in the capital, which alarmed Yun Lianfeng and lost his hand.

Yun Lianfeng didn't even plan to sue Guo Dalin at first.

It was the killer sent by Guo Dalin that sent a chill down Yun Lianfeng's spine, and he came all the way to Beijing to complain, in fact, to avoid being killed. Unexpectedly, Guo Dalin happened to encounter a famine halfway through, and the famine was accompanied by a plague. He was infected with the plague, and his life was not long, so he wanted to pull a cushion before he died, and it was this hatred trend that he found the former court lieutenant Han Long, and insisted that he had not died until now.

So Han Long ordered the case to be handled strictly.

Guo Dalin also knew that he was in danger, so he asked Guo Dakai to contact Fang Tan, the county guard, and sent a huge amount of money to Fang Tan to intercede for him. At this time, Kong Geng smelled Guo Dalin's "wealth" and took the initiative to write to Fang Tan, who was not accepting bribes, but asking for bribes.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of Kong Geng's "history of soliciting bribes".
