Chapter 63 The Heavens and the Earth Catch the Little Guys
Lu Bing's official position is not as good as the four people here, but he is the largest person in power except for Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao. Whether it is the relationship with the emperor or the money in his hands, Lu Bing is qualified to speak. The reason why Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao are not in a hurry now, just listening to Lu Bing's arrangement, is because Lu Bing stuffed enough money into their mouths.
Lu Bing said: "Master Huo, immediately go up and let go of the case of Zhu Jizong, Yang Tinghe is dead, Zhang Yong is also dead, and now Yang Yiqing is left, as long as he is enlarged, he will definitely be able to set himself on fire." Let's just say that he was bribed by Zhang Yong and Xiao Jing, and the specific money and the like will be dug again, as long as he is willing to dig, he will definitely be able to find it, and no one is clean when he is an official in this position. In addition, it is also necessary to knock on the side and say that Yang Yiqing deliberately attacked Lord Zhang and Lord Gui, with the purpose of seizing power and plotting against him, which is exactly the traitor that Lord Zhang said. At the same time, he spread rumors that Yang Yiqing had bribed the people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple in the DPRK and framed Zhang Dagui and then found a speech official to go up. ”
"Zhu Jizong is Zhang Yong's housekeeper, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing have a good relationship, although he has a hot brain for a while, but the complaint is only Yang Tinghe and Zhang Yong, and Yang Yiqing is only implicated in a few words, I am afraid that he will be tempted and threatened by other demagoguery at that time, and then retract his confession or do not cooperate, then even if he does not change his confession, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand scrutiny." Gui Cao said.
Lu Bing said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of the east and the west, the saint will not go to see Zhu Jizong in person, I will try my best to ask for this errand and let me supervise the interrogation on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and even if the saint wants to see Zhu Jizong in person, I have a way to let him say it well." Money can make ghosts grind, isn't all this done by Zhu Jizong just for money, I'll give it. ”
"Hehe, that's really arrogant." Zhang Xuan opened his eyes at this time and smiled, but Lu Bing also replied with a smile: "Lord Zhang smiled, I am just a rough person, and I am also a nouveau riche turtle, and I have no ability." Throwing money is the only thing I can think of. ”
"Don't say it, the layers of deductions you just arranged, I have a cold sweat on my back, thanks to your Lu Wenfu's righteousness, and the brothers here have a good relationship with you, otherwise I am really afraid of dying in your hands and I don't know how to die." Zhang Xuan laughed evilly, and everyone in the room also smiled, thinking deeply, Zhang Xuan continued: "That's right. Wenfu, what should we do? ”
"You and Lord Gui stood still and stayed out of the matter. Let others find fault with it. Let the emperor not suspect the two of you, otherwise it will become a battle between the courtiers and me, and the lethality will definitely not be as good as others suing His Majesty to change his clothes Yang Yiqing to form a party for personal gain. Of course, the most fatal blow still needs to be completed by two adults, which will be discussed later. Lu Bing said.
"Well, you're still selling switches, you'll talk about that later. Lord Gui and I just listen to your arrangement, and we should help our little brother. Zhang Xuan said and closed his eyes again.
"Lord Xu?" Lu Bing shouted, and Xu Zan hurriedly said: "I'm here, what is the arrangement for Lord Lu." ”
"Oh, Lord Xu hasn't spoken. I thought Master Xu was asleep. Lu Bing said, and everyone laughed again. Xu Zan was indeed stunned, in terms of relationship, he was not Lu Bing's best friend, and several people present except Lu Bing were higher than his official position.
Xu Zan often comes to Lu Bing's family banquets on weekdays, but to be honest, he is just optimistic about Lu Bing's future and his current role in the saint, but he never thought that the two cabinet members Zhang Xuan Guicao would also be so obedient to Lu Bing, so after listening to what he said for so long just now, Xu Zan was really a little shocked.
Xu Zan is now a waiter in the Criminal Department, and said respectfully at this time: "What does Lord Lu want this official to do, this official will definitely do his best." ”
"Don't be so formal, Lord Xu, this is a good thing for you and me." Lu Bing waved his hand and said: "You just need to follow Lord Huo's words and prove that it was indeed Yang Yiqing who induced and even coerced Shangshu of the Criminal Department to frame Zhang Gui and the two adults, then that's it." I will find a way to squeeze out Zhou Lun, the secretary of the Criminal Department of Yang Yiqing and his family, and the only candidate for the new Secretary of the Criminal Department will be you, Lord Xu. ”
Xu Zan was stunned for a moment, then his face became rosy, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Wenfu, we are not outsiders, don't tease." ”
"I have a humble official position, how dare I tease Lord Xu, don't worry, I will definitely make your dream come true, as long as you cooperate with the action." Lu Bing said and turned his head to look at Gui Cao and Zhang Xuan, and then said, "As for the two of you, you just need to do this and this."
Lu Bing, who had experienced several ups and downs, finally matured in officialdom and began his first purely political attack. Huo Tao pulled the banner, found someone to shout, stood up and attacked Yang Yiqing, and then attacked the officials for fraud. Xu Zan first helped his boss Zhou Lun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to argue with reason, as if he was Zhou Lun's person, but later pretended to have a sudden realization, turned against each other, and began to "expose" the truth, saying that Zhou Lun was Yang Yiqing's comrade.
Zhu Houxi didn't want to deal with Yang Yiqing, so he let him go back to his hometown, and tried his best to protect Yang Yiqing against public opinion, and he didn't hurt the old minister's heart. First, although Yang Yiqing often acts autocraticly, after all, he is a famous man that his father Xingxian Wang said before his death, and secondly, Zhu Houxi has squeezed out Yang Tinghe and others, if he and Yang Yiqing are not in harmony again, lest others say that it is not the minister's business, but that the emperor is unknown, the monarch is dark, and the minister is secret.
But now that this matter has been stabbed in the court, and it is even more involved in the matter of the criminal department's party and private business, Zhu Houxi can't ignore it, the pros and cons debate back and forth, and they have gone to the table to ask for the emperor's holy judgment, Zhu Houxi was dizzy by this group of talented civil officials, so he found Lu Bing to ask for advice.
Lu Bing didn't say anything clearly, but guided Zhu Houxi's thinking to think in his own favor step by step. So the result was obvious, Zhou Lun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was sent to Nanjing as an official, Nanjing is a place for the elderly to retire and relax, and Xu Zan became the acting Shangshu, the abbot of the investigation of related matters.
Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao, under the instruction of Lu Bing, did not pursue Yang Yiqing, who had gone to the general trend, but interceded for Yang Yiqing, and proposed Yang Yiqing's merits in the great etiquette.
But people's hearts are changeable, and some things will go smoothly according to the plan if they are not planned, Zhu Houxi felt that what Zhang Xuan and others said was reasonable, so he gave up the already hesitant decision with the mud - to dispose of Yang Yiqing.
At this time, Huo Tao attacked again, turned out the case of Zhu Jizong and sued Yang Yiqing, and connected Yang Yiqing with the now dead eunuch Zhang Yong, accusing Yang Yiqing of accepting bribes. Xu Zan is already Lu Bing's person, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, so this matter is not the same as playing, so a few days later, Yang Yiqing was finally recalled on the way back to his hometown, and what was waiting for him would be a powerful enemy and a compiled secret network.
—————————————————————————————————————
Late at night, outside the Lu Mansion, a group of people crossed the street like shadows, sticking to the corner of the wall and trying to sneak into the Lu Mansion. Suddenly, the whistle sounded, and the lights were brightened in an instant, and hundreds of firebolts and firebolts were aimed at this group. Each of the people in the encirclement held two muskets or crossbows in their hands, and their bodies were tightly covered with calfskin-tanned armor, and although not all of them were tall and strong, they were full of spirit. A tall man walked out and laughed: "Lu Wenfu, you have really put a lot of effort into dealing with me. ”
"Hmph, taking defense as an attack is really the next strategy, and luring the snake out of the hole is the best policy." Lu Bing smiled and pushed aside the people beside him, took a step forward and said.
"What do you mean?" The tall man said.
Lu Bing shrugged and said: "Disperse your people, but they always have a spare joint location, the people above should be filmed to appease, I have twenty people staring at you, you are not enough no matter how fierce you are." Follow you with you, as soon as you entered the capital, I guessed that you were going to come to my house, I can't give a grand reception to wait for the master, you are the legendary Secret Thirteen, it's just that. ”
The tall man smiled and said, "Since you know who we are and who we are visiting, how can you fight each other, this is not hospitality." ”
"Lu Fu has always been so entertaining, good wine and tea to friends, and enemies, hehe." Lu Bing shook his head with a smile and stopped talking.
Suddenly, the man's figure moved, and a series of phantoms crossed in the air, and Lu Bing's movements were also very fast, although they were not as good as the man, but because there was a gap between the two, he took the lead in hiding in the crowd. The fire rang out in unison, and a puff of white smoke rose in the air, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, and clouds of dirt and dust splashed on the ground.
Lu Bing shouted loudly, his voice was extremely arrogant: "Grass-mud-horse, still do it with me, who fights with you, come, come, and then shoot Lao Tzu into a hornet's nest for you, see if our fire bow and crossbow are fast or you are fast, how fast you can be faster than the eyes of a hundred and ten people?" ”
As Lu Bing spoke, more than 200 people rushed from all directions, and they were guards guarding the Lu Mansion from other directions. At this time, the dust settled, and the smoke cleared, and the tall man just now was panting with a pale face, surrounded by some craters and projectiles falling to the ground.
Lu Bing said with a smile: "Hey, it's quite powerful, just now it was one shot per person, I'm a burst of firearms, I transferred more than 200 people from Shandong this time, and now there are more than 300 people around you alone, you count, two firearms for one person, six bullets for one firecracker, more than 3,600 bullets, how can you defend it?!" Give me awesome, give me another awesome. I don't have such patience, you can say whatever you ask, otherwise I will let you die without a place to bury. ”
"Can't we just sit down and talk?" The tall man said, Lu Bing snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, what's your name on the first question?" ”
"My name is Bai Yu, and I am the head of the Thirteen Secret Thirteen, you can call me Tian." Bai Yu said, Lu Bing was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "What a crazy little guy, look at how powerful we are, the sky is all under control, are we going against the sky?" The crowd erupted in laughter.
Bai Yu's face was a little ugly, Lu Bingke didn't care about this and asked, "Let me ask you another question, the first emperor was harmed by you?" ”
