"Go on!" Xu Gang's eyes flashed: "What do you princes want to do?" ”

Under Zhao Lei's narration, Xu Gang finally knew the whole story

The king of Xiangyang is named Zhao Yi, the uncle of the Son of Heaven in this dynasty, the younger brother of the Son of Heaven in the previous dynasty, and has been the king in Xiangyang for nearly 40 years. In the first year of Kangding, his son fell in love with a girl, so he wanted to get her, and chased to the girl's hometown of Duanzhou to rob her, and killed her whole family, and was sentenced to the head of Bao Zheng, who had just served as the governor, and the king of Xiangyang went to the capital in person for this, and begged the official family for more than half a month, and finally the official family agreed to Bao Zheng's sentence.

So the king of Xiangyang held a grudge and began to loot money, contact the Jianghu sects, set up an alliance, secretly raised troops, intended to rebel, and even fornicated with the barbarians, secretly met with the Western Xia Daliao, and assassinated the important ministers of the court

Coupled with the problems of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses, the burden on the common people increased, and the king of Xiangyang only needed to agitate the suffering people a little before he could gather an elite army or plan a riot. Over the years, there have been many soldier riots and peasant uprisings in various places, most of which have the shadow of the king of Xiangyang.

The purpose of the king of Xiangyang is to mess up the world, make the people everywhere miserable, and then he will climb the heights again and raise an army to rebel

The more Xu Gang continued, the tighter his brows wrinkled, the three major evils of redundant officials, redundant soldiers and redundant expenses have already been discussed, it is indeed necessary to rectify and reform, and the civilians can no longer be harsh, otherwise the burden of the people will become heavier and heavier, and there will be no need for the king of Xiangyang to rebel, and the world will be chaotic.

When Zhao Lei spoke, Xu Gang arranged for someone to record it, and when he finished speaking, a confession of more than ten pages was presented in front of everyone.

Xu Dutou has done a monstrous case, if one is not good, the court will be in a mess, Xu Xiaotian didn't dare to say a word when he heard it, he hurriedly pulled him, and said cautiously: "Xu Dutou, you just handed over this confession, will he believe it?" Can he believe it? King Xiangyang must have someone in the court, and this is not a trivial matter, be careful that the mutton is not eaten, but it is ashamed. ”

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for the reminder!" Xu Gang smiled: "Don't believe it, it's a matter of the general and the official's family, they will naturally judge, as a member of the detective army, isn't it just for the official family to explore all kinds of intelligence in the world?" But there is one thing, please tell the general about it, see if it is feasible? ”

He whispered a few words in Xu Xiaotian's ear, Xu Xiaotian's face was pale, and his whole body trembled a little: "Xu Dutou, is this really good?" What if the king of Xiangyang was wronged? ”

"Don't worry, he is definitely not wronged, you just have to tell the general about this matter." Xu Gang's face turned ruthless: "At this point, if you don't force him, his fox tail will not be so easy to show, and you also said that even if our confession and witnesses are handed in, the king of Xiangyang can deny it!" You find some loyal and reliable people, go to Xiangyang and the capital to find some teahouse idlers and businessmen to discuss a few words, I believe that such a topic, there will be people who will be interested, and the people will know about the evil deeds of the king of Xiangyang without knowing it! ”

Xu Xiaotian was speechless, Xu Gangdi meant that he understood, this was to let the officials guard against the King of Xiangyang and force the King of Xiangyang to do it by spreading rumors! The emperor's suspicions are very great, and he makes "I'd rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let go of one!" "It's also very common. Although he is benevolent today, he will definitely not do anything to King Xiangyang until he finds conclusive evidence. But the king of Xiangyang is different, he will think that the Son of Heaven is already suspicious of himself, maybe he will strike first!!

"Can this really work?" Xu Xiaotian still cautiously asked again.

"Nothing can't be done!" A hint of fierceness appeared in Xu Gang's eyes: "Since the king of Xiangyang has begun to capture the city, I believe that the day when he will raise troops is not far away, we will now put oil on the fire for him and force him to do it in advance, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with when everything is ready!" ”

Xu Gang patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were full of determination! Xu Xiaotian secretly gritted his teeth: "Okay, then do what you said Xu Dutou, and when this is over, I will go back to the general in person!" ”

After discussing it with Xu Xiaotian, the assassin over there, Zhao Lei, didn't need to ask any more questions, just let him sign the confession.

"Let him sign it!" Xu Gang laughed: "Brother Xu, you first read this confession to Brother Zhao, we all act according to the rules, we will never torture to extract confessions, and the brothers will testify for me!" ”

Xu Xiaotian sprinkled and read the confession again: The villain Zhao Lei has been grateful to the emperor since he was a child, but he was persecuted by the king of Xiangyang, and threatened with the lives of his family, forcing me to contact him left and right and plot a rebellion

Seeing Xu Xiaotian staring at his hand, if he didn't sign and demarcate the pledge, it was estimated that they would use some means! When he met this pair of capable people, he really fell home, Zhao Lei's face was like ashes, and he had no choice but to sign the confession.

Looking at the other assassin who was stunned by Xu Gang's fingers, Xu Gang snorted: "This is the only one left, and it will be handed over to the general for personal trial!" Brother Xu, you find a few reliable brothers and send this confession and these two to the general! If the general allows it, he will let out the news as soon as possible, and it can also be said that the official family is interrogating the assassins, and one of them has been recruited, named Zhao Lei, who has served his master for twenty-seven years."

This trick is ruthless enough! Xu Xiaotian secretly sighed, nodded again and again, and tied up the two of them with a team of soldiers!

"Brother Xu, be careful along the way! I also have to take someone to get the beggar and the others overnight, if I go late, I'm worried that they will run away! "The king of Xiangyang made such a big thing, begging for his brother

After that, Xu Gang took out a dozen official friends from his arms, and stuffed them into Xu Xiaotian's hands without looking at them: "You take this and buy tea for the brothers!" ”

The first Jiaozi is full of fifty runs, and this one is beaten, I am afraid that there will be two or three thousand runs, Xu Xiaotian was startled, and hurriedly pushed the silver ticket back: "Xu Dutou, what are you doing, are you looking down on me Xu Xiaotian?" I eat the royal food, and my life is sold to the court, not to mention that we are friends who have been on the battlefield together, even if we are an ordinary person, I can't take your money! ”

When he was in the fierce ghost ditch, Xu Xiaotian has been guarding Xu Gang's side, saying that he is a lifelong friendship!

Xu Gang smiled and said, "Brother Xu misunderstood, with our friendship, what should I do with your money?" If you're short of money to spend, just ask me to get it! This money is not for you, but for your brothers! I was in danger several times, and I had to be escorted by them, saying that they were ordered to act correctly, but it is also true that someone who is kind to me Xu is also true, the brothers are all eating on the tip of a knife, everyone has a family and a mouth, and it is not easy to live! ”

Xu Gang glanced at Wu Ling'er, a little embarrassed, there was always a feeling of eating soft rice, haha! All this money was given to him by Wu Ling'er, and he told him that he had to have a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates.

"If I don't repay someone's kindness, not only will it be difficult for my brothers, but I will not be able to do it myself! These silver tickets are used to buy tea for the brothers, and there will be more in the future! I only ask Brother Xu to tell my brothers that I have remembered their kindness to me Xu! ”

What a character Wu Ling'er is, who has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and knows that the county officials are not as good as the current ones, no matter how good the emperor and general are to him, these people are the ones who really do things for him! Spend some money and ask people to sell their lives, what's not worth it! Although Xu Gang lacks experience in these things, he is not stupid, and he can understand it at one point! (To be continued.) )
