Yang Qiuchi happily returned to the Yang Mansion, and after saying that, all the women immediately cheered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info really feels like a new life. When he heard that Ji Gang was beaten one hundred and twenty court battles, and his life was ninety percent, he felt very relieved, but he also felt a little angry that Ming Chengzu did not execute Ji Gang.

Liu Ruobing proposed to assassinate Ji Gang again, Yang Qiuchi disagreed, if Ji Gang is dead now, everyone knows that he Yang Qiuchi did it, then he will cause trouble for himself, besides, he doesn't want Ji Gang to die so cheaply, he wants to kill Ji Gang in a dignified manner.

That night, Yang Qiuchi ordered a banquet and invited his life-saving benefactor, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, as well as Ma Du, Niu Dahai and other buddies in the brocade guard, to gather together and have a good drink.

The news that Yang Qiuchi was reinstated and promoted to the deputy commander of Jinyiwei and took charge of the Nanzhen Fusi soon spread in the capital, and the officials of Jinyiwei came to the Yang Mansion in an endless stream to congratulate him. It was not lively to shout five and drink six, and drank until late at night.

The next day, after Yang Qiuchi went to Jinyi Weinan Town to take office, he entered the palace and reported to the emperor Ming Chengzu that Ji Gang was seriously injured, and now the climate in the capital is cold, and Ji Gang should be sent to the south for recuperation.

Of course, Ming Chengzu knew Yang Qiuchi's true thoughts, and he also hoped that Yang Qiuchi could quickly gain a firm foothold in Jinyiwei, establish his own circle of influence, and play a role in counterbalancing Ji Gang's forces to prevent Ji Gang from monopolizing power in Jinyiwei. Immediately, he sent Ji Gang to Guangzhou for recuperation.

Ji Gang was forced to leave the capital, he was beaten by the one hundred and twenty court staffs, and after a long bumpy journey to Guangzhou, he lay in bed for three months before he could get out of bed.

In the three months after Ji Gang left, the capital Jinyiwei also became Yang Qiuchi's world.

Yang Qiuchi wanted to use this time to quickly cultivate his own forces so that he could compete with Ji Gang and prepare for taking over Jinyiwei in the future.

Although the Beizhen Fusi is under the direct command of Ji Gang, and Yang Qiuchi cannot carry out personnel transfers, in the one acre and three points of land in his Nanzhen Fusi, of course, it is my territory, and I am the master.

At the beginning of his tenure, Yang Qiuchi replaced all the heads of various important departments of the Nanzhen Fusi with his own people, and transferred Ma Du and Niu Dahai to his Nanzhen Fusi, and was promoted from the original deputy thousand households to the four thousand households, among them, Ma Du served as the left thousand households of Jinyi, and Niu Dahai served as the thousand households of the right of Jinyi. Then Yun Xuan was transferred back from Baoning Mansion in Sichuan Province and promoted to Nanzhen Fusi Zhenfu, Zheng Wupin, who was specifically responsible for picketing violations of law and discipline in Jinyi Weili.

In addition, when he was in Bazhou, Sichuan Province, Zhan Zheng, the head catcher of the Warship Gang who lived and died with him, recruited several fast catchers, and served as the head catcher and catcher in his own Yingtianfu.

At the same time as rectifying the Nanzhen Fusi, Yang Qiuchi also suppressed Ji Gang's Beizhen Fusi.

The first object of suppression, of course, was to betray himself and protect Pu Fangu and the other three people who were close to the original guards who fell into the well.

There are few people in Jinyiwei who have clean buttocks, and there are some problems more or less, it depends on whether you check it or not, since Yang Qiuchi has decided to move them, this fact and evidence is not easy.

Under the investigation of Ma Du and Niu Baihu, they quickly grasped the facts that Pu Fangu and the other three were extorting and forcing people to die when they were in Beizhen Fusi. Yang Qiuchi ordered the secret arrest of Pu Fangu and the others, and Nangong Xiong and the others were responsible for extorting confessions by torture. Nangong Xiong hated these three traitors so much that he used all the eighteen tortures of Jinyiwei, not only obtained the required confessions, but also brought these three people back to death. Let them also taste the taste of being manipulated.

These three people are just Jinyiwei's little minions, and their case is another case within Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei himself can open a court trial, convict and sentence. The three law divisions can't control it, and this kind of small minion case doesn't need to be reported to the emperor for approval, and Yang Qiuchi can directly decide the case.

As a result, all three of them were condemned to be beheaded and sent to the execution ground outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to be beheaded. Out of Yang Qiuchi's heart.

Then, Yang Qiuchi picketed several of Ji Gang's Beizhen Fusi sworn friends, of course, one check was accurate, all of them were corrupt and bent the law to falsely accuse others of forcing people to die, enough to cut off their heads.

However, to execute the high-ranking officials of the Jinyi Guard, it must be reported to the emperor for approval. After Yang Qiuchi submitted the materials to Ming Chengzu, he personally reported it.

Ming Chengzu was a little embarrassed, some of these cases picketed by Yang Qiuchi were personally handled by Ming Chengzu, that is to say, it was Ming Chengzu himself who really instructed the false accusation and framed the person. Ji Gang and other high-ranking officials of Beizhen Fusi Jinyi Wei are just dogs who run errands according to the instructions of Ming Chengzu. Ming Chengzu was biased, but the case was found by Yang Qiuchi to have conclusive evidence, and there was no way to protect it, so he approved the execution of the two of the most heinous crimes, and the rest of the people still saved their lives, and they flowed for 3,000 miles after the dismissal.

Although they were not able to behead them, they were also removed from their posts and investigated, which had already achieved Yang Qiuchi's goal.

After three months of suppression by Yang Qiuchi's Jinyi Wei Discipline Inspection Department, Beizhen Fusi's vitality was greatly damaged. And Ji Gang was far away in Guangzhou, the information was not smooth and out of reach, and the emperor deliberately protected and supported Yang Qiuchi, so when Ji Gang returned to the capital on crutches three months later, his power had been greatly weakened. And Yang Qiuchi has completed the entire transformation of Nanzhen Fusi, and has established considerable authority in the Jinyi Guard of the capital.

When Ji Gang returned to the capital, he was already able to go to court with a cane.

In the early morning of this day, the officials waited in Jiuqing's room early. Yang Qiuchi was wearing the robe of the deputy envoy of the Jinyi Guard, and was laughing with the officials. Ji Gangzhu walked in from outside the door with two crutches, limping and grimacing.

I haven't seen him for more than three months, Ji Gang's burly figure has been emaciated and skinny, only those eyes, still as ruthless as an eagle.

All the officials, regardless of whether they are big or small, have avoided it, and some of them have stepped forward to greet Ji Gang and ask for warmth.

Only Yang Qiuchi, as if he hadn't seen it, was still talking to other officials.

The relationship between Yang Qiuchi and Ji Gangshi is full of water and fire, and the officials in the capital know it, and now they see the two tigers meeting, they all know that this is a good show, as for which side their butts sit on, they have to look at the direction of the wind, in case they sit in the wrong position, it is a trivial matter to lose their posts and dismiss officials, and I am afraid that even their families and surnames will not be guaranteed.

The official who was chatting with Yang Qiuchi was very embarrassed when he saw Ji Gang come in, he didn't dare to offend Ji Gang or Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to embarrass him, so he didn't say anything, turned around, and looked at the sky with his eyes, as if he was looking at something strange.

Ji Gang walked slowly in front of Yang Qiuchi on crutches, and smiled: "Lord Yang, what are you looking at?" ”

This Ji Gang hated Yang Qiuchi in his heart, but on the surface, he was still kind and pleasant, and even Yang Qiuchi admired it a little bit in the depth of the city. Yang Qiuchi smiled faintly: "The official is looking at a little spider on the beam of the house, this little thing usually walks sideways, but unexpectedly broke a foot, and now it can only walk with a limp." ”

Yang Qiuchi is the deputy envoy of the Jinyi Guard, and from this point of view, he is Ji Gang's deputy, but Yang Qiuchi doesn't buy Ji Gang's account at all now, and calls himself his official in person, which is enough to surprise the officials, and his words are obviously laughing at Ji Gang, and the officials on the side are even more funny, but they don't dare to laugh if they want to, so they can only hold back.

Ji Gang glanced at the officials and said slowly: "This spider is also interesting, although it has a lame leg, it can still catch insects and eat it." Especially those small bugs who think their carapace is harder. ”

"Oh, is it? I don't think so, if it's a small beetle, it's possible, if it's a oriole that breaks into the spider's web, then I'm afraid it's a spider. ”

The two competed against each other, and all the officials secretly admired Yang Qiuchi, and those who dared to directly ridicule Ji Gang, Yang Qiuchi was probably the first person. The officials who knew Ji Gang's surname and admired Yang Qiuchi were secretly worried about Yang Qiuchi.

When the time of the last dynasty came, a group of people slowly walked out of the Jiuqing room, climbed the wide jade staircase, and walked towards the Jinshen Palace.

Ji Gang and Yang Qiuchi walked side by side in front, walked up the stone steps, and when they were about to reach the top, Yang Qiuchi said: "Master Ji, this jade staircase is a little slippery, you have to walk well, once you fall down and break a leg, you can't eat insects, you can only drink the northwest wind." Hahaha. ”

Ji Gang He had been so angry, a sinister smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he raised his eyes to look at the stairs, and shouted in surprise: "Huh! His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised, the prince didn't need to go to court, why did he come here today, looked up, except for the ruling court brocade guard, but there was no trace of the prince.

At this moment, I heard a strong wind coming from the back of my head, secretly screaming that it was not good, I twisted my body and lowered my head in a wrong step, and the strong wind swept over my scalp, it turned out that Ji Gang sneaked up on Yang Qiuchi's crutches!

This crutch is very windy, and it will hit the back of the head, and it will be seriously injured if you don't die. Yang Qiuchi was furious, but before he could make any moves, Ji Gang's second crutch hit his head again!

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to think about it, he took a diagonal step to avoid the crutches, flashed behind Ji Gang at the same time, slammed his palm on Ji Gang's back, and at the same time made a stir under his feet, Ji Gang stumbled, the crutches took off his hand, and fell down the jade ladder under his head and feet, and the rolling gourd generally rolled to the bottom of the stairs. One of the front teeth was broken by the stone steps, and the nose was broken, and the blood flowed.

Ji Gang was born in martial arts, has infinite strength, and is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, but he is good at archery and horse riding and archery when the two armies are facing each other, but he is not good at this kind of heads-up martial arts, but he has just recovered from serious injuries, and his legs and feet are not good, and secondly, he has seriously underestimated Yang Qiuchi's courage to counterattack and the high level of counterattack skills, which is why Yang Qiuchi's way.

For more than three months, Yang Qiuchi has not been idle, since he was framed by Ji Gang last time, he has been under house arrest for nearly a month, in order to prepare for the victory escape, Liu Ruobing began to personally instruct Yang Qiuchi in martial arts. Because Yang Qiuchi had been practicing internal skills with Song Yun'er for almost a year before this, he already had a certain foundation in internal skills, and he was the number one master in the world who instructed him, and he was under house arrest and had nothing to do at home, so he had free time to practice hard all day long, and he made rapid progress.

Later, after Yang Qiuchi was reinstated, every time he remembered the slap that Ji Gang slapped on his shoulder, he almost broke himself up, and he felt palpitations, Liu Ruobing and they couldn't follow him every day, and the pistol was too domineering to be suitable for self-defense, and there were only four bullets. In order to save his life and defend himself, he can only grit his teeth and practice martial arts hard.

After practicing in the past few months, although he started too late, his foundation is not strong, and he cannot become a first-class master, it is enough to deal with ordinary martial artists, and even to deal with generals like Ji Gang, who can only bow and ride and shoot. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi successfully dodged Ji Gang's sneak attack, and successfully counterattacked, throwing Ji Gang into a rolling gourd, and breaking one of his front teeth.

Most of the officials have been angry with Ji Gang, some of them have been rectified by Ji Gang because of the melon vine copying, and now they are very happy to see Yang Qiuchi teach Ji Gang a lesson, and some of the bold ones still laughed secretly in the end, most of them pretended not to see it, and they continued to go up the ladder to enter the court with a snicker.

Ji Gang's friends rushed forward to support Ji Gang, and some glared at Yang Qiuchi, but after meeting Yang Qiuchi's cold gaze, they quickly lowered their heads.

Ji Gang was helped up, wiped a handful of blood from his mouth and nose, pointed at Yang Qiuchi and said, "The surname is Yang!" Good! Good! You wait! ”

Yang Qiuchi clasped his hands on his shoulders and smiled slightly: "I won't wait, I'll do it first, Ji Gang, you wipe your neck clean and wait for death!" Hahaha" laughed, turned around and entered the court.

Morning upwards, Ji Gang's lips were broken just now, swollen and high, the blood in his nose had not completely stopped, he was stuffed with paper indiscriminately, half of his front teeth were broken, and his speech was leaking. Ming Chengzu saw Ji Gang's embarrassed appearance, a little funny, and asked the reason, Ji Gang only said that he fell on the ladder just now, Yang Qiuchi understood that he didn't want to sue in front of the emperor like a child who lost a fight, which showed the depth of Ji Gang's city government, and couldn't help but make Yang Qiuchi more vigilant.

When the scattered dynasty returned to the Yang Mansion, Yang Qiuchi told him about it, and all the women were very happy.

While he was talking, the porter came to report that the official family of Governor Xue Lu had sent a post inviting Yang Qiuchi to go to the Governor's Mansion.

Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned, this governor Xue Lu he knew, Xue Lu followed Ming Chengzu, in the battle of Jingyan outstanding achievements, was appointed as the right army governor of the right army and the left army governor of the palace, Fengtian Jing is difficult to push the city Xuanli Wuchen special into Ronglu doctor Zhu Guoyang Wuhou.

In terms of rank, he and Yang Qiuchi are both marquis of Fengtianjing. The rank is the same. But Xue Lu's actual rank is Zhengyi, which is much higher than Yang Qiuchi. The two do not have a deep relationship. Now that he suddenly posted a post inviting himself to his governor's mansion as a guest, Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised.

However, Yang Qiuchi has always admired this kind of military generals who have accumulated merit in life and death. Since he took the initiative to invite, Yang Qiuchi certainly wanted to get acquainted with him. Readily agreed. After Feng Xiaoxue prepared a heavy gift for him, Yang Qiuchi took Nangong Xiong and other escorts to Xue Lu's Marquis Mansion.

The gate of the Marquis' Mansion was wide open, and Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, personally greeted the gate and saluted Yang Qiuchi with his fists: "Marquis Yang is here, Xue is very honored!" Hahaha. ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the salute. Xue Lu stepped forward, took Yang Qiuchi's hand, and entered the Marquis's Mansion side by side.

The two usually met when they were in the last court, and now this Xue Lu is extremely affectionate to himself, which makes Yang Qiuchi quite moved.

When I came to the living room, there was already a sumptuous table in the living room, and there was no one else waiting for it except two servants.

Yang Qiuchi was slightly surprised, it seems that he is the only one who is invited to the banquet today. Could it be that this Xue Lu has something to whisper to himself?

Unexpectedly, Xue Lu was very calm, and after letting Yang Qiuchi sit down with the chief, the two of them said some polite words while drinking. Xue Lu also instructed the dancers to play music and sing to cheer up.

When the wine was drunk, Xue Lu asked the others to retreat, took a glass of wine, and sighed, looking very sad.

Yang Qiuchi knew that he must have something to say, so he hurriedly asked, "Lord Dudu, dare to ask what is sad?" ”

Xue Lu sighed again and said, "Xue Mou is in vain as the governor of a product, the Marquis of Yangwu." But he was bullied by the commander of the Zhengsanpin Jinyi Guard, and he didn't dare to fight against that Ji Gangming with a knife and a gun like Yang Houye. What a shame on our ancestors and ancestors. ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly, it seems that this governor is also one of Ji Gang's victims, waiting for him to follow.

Xue Lu said: "Today, when I went to the court, I saw Yang Hou Ye throwing that Ji Gang down the jade steps, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and half of his front teeth were broken, which is really happy!" He raised his glass and said, "Marquis Yang took a breath of evil in his heart for Xue, and Xue was grateful." Come on, Xue has a cup of respect for the marquis! ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled, took a sip of the wine glass, and said in a low voice: "Lord Du must have also been bullied by Ji Gang's family?" ”

Xue Lu said: "This matter is a long story. A few months ago, Xue happened to see a Taoist aunt named Xulingzi in the water purification stork outside the capital, who was extremely beautiful. Under Xue's pity, he intended to accept her as a concubine, and Xulingzi also agreed, so I married him into the house. Unexpectedly, Ji Gang somehow got the news, and asked someone to come to me and say that he wanted me to give him the Void Lingzi. Of course I won't allow ......."

Yang Qiuchi said angrily: "Ji Gang, a dog thief, has never looked down on other people's goodness, he rectified me last time, firstly, he was jealous of my ability, and secondly, he wanted to occupy my two beautiful concubines. Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will castrate him!

When Xue Lu heard this, he really sympathized with the same disease, and he cursed Ji Gang repeatedly. The two scolded for a while, and their hearts were happy, and this Xue Lu continued: "After Ji Gang asked for my concubine and was rejected by me, he didn't say anything, I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that when I went to court a few days later, just like today, he attacked Yang Houye, this Ji Gang dog thief actually attacked me with iron, and almost broke my head. I lay in bed for more than a month. ”

Yang Qiuchi was surprised, he couldn't imagine that this Ji Gang secretly attacked this trick, it turned out to be his housekeeping skill, he had used it on Xue Lu before, and today he wanted to repeat the old trick and give himself such a trick. said angrily: "Lord Dudu, why don't you report this matter to the emperor?" ”

Xue Lu shook his head and said in a low voice, "No." Since the Jingqing case, Ji Gang Jinyi Wei Gua Manchao doesn't know how many people he has killed, he is like Zhongtian in front of the emperor, how can I afford to provoke it. I really want to go to the emperor to sue him, he seriously injured me, just to accompany some money, and I'm afraid that my life will be difficult later. Maybe one day he will become a traitor to Jianwen and be beheaded all over the house. So...... Alas! I can only hold back my anger......"

Jingqing was originally Emperor Jianwen's imperial historian, and after Ming Chengzu invaded Nanjing, he admired his talent and still kept him as the imperial historian. But I didn't expect that Jing Qing had been thinking about avenging Emperor Jianwen. took advantage of an opportunity to go to court with a sharp blade in his arms, ready to assassinate Zhu Di. After being found out by Ji Gang's brocade guard, he was arrested on the spot. Zhu Di was furious and ordered Jing Qing to be skinned and weeded, and the body was hung on the city gate for public display, and his family was also exterminated. Even his neighbors in his hometown were killed, and the entire village was reduced to rubble. This is called "melon vine copy".

Since then, Jinyiwei has officially established the glorious tradition of Zhulian Innocence. Since then, many cases have also used this method of copying melons and vines, making everyone in the government and the opposition in danger, and before the court, it was like parting with life and death, and they came back from the dynasty to celebrate that they were still alive.

Yang Qiuchi already knew a lot about Ji Gang's set, and of course he could understand Xue Lu's thoughts, but he thought to himself, since you have decided to be a turtle with a shrunken head, what are you still coming to me to do? You didn't invite me to complain about my grievances and show me moral support, did you?

Xue Lu sighed again: "Not long after this incident, the beautiful concubine Xulingzi of my new acceptance was ...... Sneak into my house in the middle of the night and kill her......"

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback again, and dared to sneak into the mansion of the Marquis of Yangwu and kill the concubine of the Governor, I am afraid that only Ji Gang's people have the courage.

"It must have been Ji Gang's people who did it!" Yang Qiuchi said: "Didn't you report the case?" ”

"Alas! Blind people can see this, I went to the Yamen of Yingtianfu to report, there was a murder in the family, how could I not tell it. Although I know that this must have been done by Ji Gang, but without real evidence, what can I do with him? ”

This is also true, Yang Qiuchi asked: "At that time, Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin should be Lord Gu, right?" When Ji Gang framed me, he also framed him and was executed by Ling Chi, could it be that his investigation and handling of this case was also one of the reasons why Ji Gang framed him? ”

"No, Gu Fuyin just inspected the scene and examined the autopsy, and then there was no follow-up. I had asked him privately, but he only said that he was investigating, and told me to wait patiently. I knew in my heart that Gu Fuyin must have known that Ji Gang couldn't afford to provoke him, so he didn't investigate it seriously at all. ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Du Du invited me here today, presumably because he wanted me to investigate this case, right?" ”
