Chapter 123: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
The Wenhua Hall was like lightning and thunder, and Emperor Hongzhi stared coldly at the letter on the case, his eyes were glowing with coldness, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
It has not been so angry for many years, and although it is difficult to agree with the courtiers on many things, there is one fact that the Manchu civil and military forces cannot deny, Emperor Hongzhi is a good emperor, he is diligent in his affairs, wise and decisive, and more importantly, he has a gentle temperament, and rarely blushes, let alone be so angry today.
The thief threw an arrow in front of the Chengtian Gate, like a loud slap in the face of the Ming Emperor, and Emperor Hongzhi felt a hot pain in his cheeks.
He even became suspicious of his years of hard work,...... The court, the people, isn't everyone praising the Ming Dynasty? In the great cause of prosperity created by Zhu Youji, why did there still be thieves who dared to provoke Zhu Ming's imperial power so much? Why is the palace forbidden by the Ming Emperor, and those thieves come and go as if they were in a no-man's land? It took seventeen years to rule...... Is it really a prosperous country?
"Your Majestyβ"
Outside the gate of the palace, a eunuch trotted in in a hurry, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, half an hour ago, Ma Shangshu was assassinated in Xicheng outside the Beijing Division, fortunately he was rescued by Jinyi Wei by chance, Ma Shangshu was in danger, the assassins captured three, and the remaining nearly twenty people escaped without a trace......"
Jinyi Wei Mu Bin, who had been kneeling on the ground and had never dared to raise his head, couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know which subordinate gave him a long face like this, and he must be rewarded when he turns around! It's okay now, Jin Yiwei has already made a contribution to saving Ma Shangshu, and no matter how big the fire is, it won't burn Jin Yiwei.
Comparing goods and throwing away, Wang Yue, who was kneeling side by side with Mu Bin, became more and more gloomy, Jin Yiwei saved Ma Shangshu and took down three assassins, compared to the lack of achievements in Dongchang, Wang Yue's face became even paler.
Emperor Hongzhi's face turned green with anger.
"Good, good! I am a brilliant Ming master, and today I have become a paradise for thieves to leap horses and raise swords, good! β
Bang!
A delicate teacup was shattered, and Mu Bin and Wang Yue kowtowed to the cold floor tiles covered with broken porcelain tiles.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body. Slaves and maids are guilty of capital crimes. β
Emperor Hongzhi stared at the two of them coldly, and said word by word: "Listen, I don't care what those thieves do next, and no matter which rat hole they are hiding in, I limit you to ten days...... No, in three days, find out all of them, and my sword has been sharpened and polished. After three days you will cut off the heads, either theirs or yours. Do you understand? β
"The servants (slaves) obey the order." The two of them were in a cold sweat.
The wrath of the Son of Heaven is thousands of miles away.
After Mu Bin and Wang Yue left the palace, the factory guards rode out in all directions, and the Da Suo Jingshi, the calm imperial capital suddenly became noisy.
The state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty slowly moved, revealing its hideous fangs, mercilessly crushing and devouring all living beings in the world who dared to challenge the imperial power.

β¦β¦β¦β¦
The lobby of the East Factory in Dong'anmen. Wang Yue, who was rickety, respectfully offered incense to Lord Yue, and kneeled behind him a row of Dongchang stalls, foremen and stewards.
Wang Yue bowed silently. After bowing to Yue Fei's portrait three times, he turned around, his face was as cold as frost, staring at the subordinates of Dongchang who were kneeling in a row, and his voice was sharp and ugly.
"Okay, very good, in broad daylight, let the thieves come and go in the Imperial City of Beijing as if they were in a no-man's land, and they dared to shoot arrows and throw books at the Forbidden Palace. Well, you are getting more and more promising. β
The crowd was terrified and kowtowed one after another.
Wang Yue said coldly: "Those lawless miscellaneous pieces, can you find out the details?" Who is it? β
"Back to the factory, judging from the submission. It should be the general of the Xuanfu border army who was fired three years ago by Ma Daren, who was still the secretary of the military department at the time, and this group of people probably has a grudge against Ma Shangshu.........,
Wang Yue's brows became deeper and deeper: "The border army general who was dismissed? How could the generals who were dismissed three years ago wait until today to assassinate them? β
"At the beginning, Ma Shangshu dismissed more than 30 generals who were greedy for food and salaries, and also sent them to Qiongnan, estimating that they only escaped from Qiongnan this year. infiltrated the Beijing division to seek revenge on Ma Shangshu. β
"These people are also bold, aren't they afraid of the Nine Clans? How small is their home? β
Dongchang stall head said: "After the incident happened, Ma Shangshu returned to Beijing, and Liu Qing, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town, mended the knife again, and secretly executed all their families......"
Wang Yue snorted heavily: "This Liu Qing is not clean, he must have taken no less benefits, and he will destroy their family when the incident happens, but it is a ruthless thing." β
Saying that, Wang Yue shook his head and sighed: "No wonder this gang of killers is so desperate, dare to sprinkle in the Imperial City of Beijing, can the whole family not take revenge if they are killed?" Liu Qing did it secretly, and this account was all counted on Ma Shangshu's head, and he was not wronged. β
The stall stewards hung their heads and didn't dare to say a word, the seemingly ordinary case, the water in it was too deep and muddy, and a mere Xuanfu town guard eunuch probably didn't have the courage to do this, I'm afraid that someone in the capital would support him......
Wang Yue's expression gradually became cold: "Listen, Your Majesty has issued a strict decree, no matter what method is used, this gang must be killed within three days to find out, if you can't find out, you will go to the guillotine on behalf of the miscellaneous family." β
Looking out of the lobby, Wang Yue said coldly: "...... This credit, you can't let Jinyiwei snatch it away anymore, the miscellaneous family can't afford to lose, and you can't afford to lose, understand? β
"Yes, Factory."
The thief has become a lost deer, and the Beijing division has become a battlefield for the deer, and the factory guards have come out to use all their opportunities to plan for this lost deer.
Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Lobby.
Mu Bin looked at Qin Kan, his smile of relief mixed with worry.
"Okay, Qin Qianhu is good, today I earned a face for the old man in front of His Majesty, the old man knew that Qin Qianhu was a rare talent, and it was right to transfer you to Beijing at the beginning."
Qin Kan humbly arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Mu Shuai for promoting, the lower official is just a coincidence, Ma Shangshu is heroic and upright, even if there is no lower official, presumably the thief will not be able to hurt him in the slightest." β
The corners of Mu Bin's mouth twitched: "Can Haoran righteousness block the knife?" Just now, the old man praised you for being a talent. Why do you talk bastards in the blink of an eye? β
Qin Kan sighed: "Of course the bastard said the bastard, the lower official is not a bastard......
"Which bastard said that?"
"Ma Shangshu ......"
Mu Bin suddenly coughed dryly twice and changed the topic: "Your Majesty has issued an order, and the factory guards will take this gang of thieves within three days, which is not only an opportunity for meritorious service for our Jinyiwei, but also a fatal trouble." β
Qin Kan knew very well the power of that group of assassins, and they cooperated tacitly with each other. No ordinary Assassin, and to be honest, he was reluctant to provoke them.
The emperor was slapped in the face, Jinyiwei was under pressure, and Ma Shangshu was still in danger of being assassinated......
What does this concern him? Qin Kan is a person who hates trouble, and he can hide as far as he can.
Mu Bin's words were obviously a beginning, and the subordinate officials who knew how to greet him would generally follow the conversation, but unfortunately Qin Kan didn't make a sound, and sat upright with a smile on his face. The smile was tight.
Mu Bin was a little unhappy, he glanced at him, and he had to continue the conversation.
"The people below have found out. This group of thieves was born in the army, three years ago sent to Qiongnan, recently sneaked back to Beijing, to seek revenge on Ma Shangshu, because it was the then military department of Shangshu Ma who fired them out of the Xuanfu border army, the military department yamen has transferred out of the file, the family members of those generals all died after the incident, this account has been calculated to Ma Shangshu's head. β
Knowing that it was a trouble, Qin Kan still couldn't help but say: "It's not a disaster for the family." Ma Shangshu's move .........,
Mu Bin smiled secretly: "Ma Shangshu has been an official for many years, honest and honest, jealous and hateful, he will never do such a murderous thing......"
"Who did that?"
Mu Bin shook his head, obviously he didn't want to mention this again.
"It doesn't matter who did it. The important thing now is that His Majesty is furious, we must take down this group of thieves lurking in Jingshi before Dongchang, and this credit must not be taken by Dongchang. β
"Yes."
"All the Jinyi guards in the capital division must be mobilized, and they must be pulled out from heaven to earth!"
"Yes."
"Ma Shangshu may be assassinated in the near future, so we have to protect him from being killed by thieves, otherwise His Majesty will blame him, and we can't afford it."
"Yes."
"Therefore, this commander has decided to send you to mobilize the captains under your command to protect Ma Shangshu."
"Yes...... Yes? Wait, Mu Shuai......" Qin Kan was so shocked that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, protecting Ma Shangshu was tantamount to playing with thieves on the front line, how could he be willing to get involved in such fatal trouble?
"Mu Shuai, why do you want to go down to protect Ma Shangshu?"
Mu Bin smiled, smiling brightly: "Because you are the most talented Qianhu in my Jingshi Jinyi Guard, and you are the only one who has confronted those assassins head-on, and you know a little bit about it, and more importantly, I told Ma Shangshu what I wanted to protect him, and Ma Shangshu personally named him and asked you to protect him closely......"
The gentle and elegant Qin Kan was angry, and blurted out a dirty word: "The old horseman surnamed Ma, I am his own sister!" β
As soon as the words came out, Qin Kan was speechless, but Mu Bin had no intention of blaming, and actually smiled: "That's right, the hero sees the same thing, Old Man Ma has caused us so much trouble, this commander can't wait to be with you." β
"Mu Shuai, the next official is dead, and he can't be ordered......" Qin Kan stubbornly pushed back.
"Why?"
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan......" Qin Kan's body suddenly began to sway, his face gradually turned white somehow, he covered his chest with one hand, breathed heavily, and said intermittently: "Xiaguan...... I have always had a stubborn cough and asthma, and I haven't seen any improvement for many years, so I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid it's ......."
Mu Bin didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly, and sat upright like a statue.
When Qin Kan saw Mu Bin's gaze, he was suddenly shocked that the actor sitting in front of him was an actor-level master, playing this game in front of him, just like selling articles in front of Confucius......
Qin Kan quickly corrected his attitude, and his dying appearance suddenly turned invisible, and his body sat up with a straight face and expressionless.
Mu Bin said coldly: "Is the show over? β
"Xiaguan...... Ashamed. β
"Since Qin Qianhu is happy, let's quickly dispatch people to protect Ma Shangshu, remember, Master Ma has the slightest mistake, and your head will fall to the ground."
"Yes."
