As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Nanjing suffered a fire, and the matter was decided to be concealed from the imperial court, and it must also be played by the imperial court. At this time, He Kegang, who was Ying Tianfu Yin, felt that he was being controlled by others, and he did not cross the right of several Shangguan to play directly. In other words, he could only describe the fire in the words of others, so that he, who was directly responsible, could be freed from the punishment of the imperial court.

In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of thinking is simply naïve to the point of being incredible, but He Kegang is still full of energy, running around the various Shangguan mansions, hoping that they can say a word or two for themselves. But after a busy day, he was desperate to find that there seemed to be a hint of pity in everyone's smiles, a kind of pity and schadenfreude that seemed to look at the dying people.

In the end, He Kegang found that only the governor of Nanzhili, Sun Jiao, was left with Zhong Hai, who had not hit it, so he had to stubbornly use the dead horse as a live horse doctor and went to Sun Jie's mansion. In his mind, he had searched for the empty governor several times, and if he had followed common sense, he should have avoided it, and sat back and watched his bad luck get out of his chest.

Along the way, He Kegang was nervous, and the last straw made him suffer from gains and losses. Looking back on the huge ups and downs of this day, I can't help but feel sad. It was Ruan Dacheng who made him miserable, making him change from watching the play to singing, and what is even more sad is that he is still the protagonist of the tragedy in the play.

At the beginning of the fire in Muscle Lane, He Kegang did not realize that this fire would become a key point in his career as an official, hoping to plant the black cauldron to Ruan Dacheng through the hands of Sun Jiao. And the backer behind Ruan Dacheng is Zhou Yanru, so Zhou Yanru will deal with this fire incident in line with the principle of turning big things into small things in order to calm the matter.

More importantly, Zhou Yanru will direct his anger at Sun Jiao and others, and he himself is still hiding behind, very safe.

But after thousands of calculations, He Kegang just didn't calculate that Sun Ji seemed to be a nerd, but he handled this public case lightly, and only took one of Ruan Dacheng's family members as a murderer to do it hastily, and expelled Ruan Dacheng from Nanjing on the grounds of "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos and Public Exposure". In this way, he not only dealt with the fire in Muscle Lane, but also calmed down the feelings of the Jiangnan scholars, and his position as governor became more and more stable. I'm afraid that even Wei Guogong can no longer treat this person as air.

He Kegang regretted it, where did he find a fool who carried the black pot, and it was obvious that he invited the wolf into the room! But it's too late to say anything, he only hopes that Sun Butang, who has been holding back, can raise his noble hand and show mercy to his subordinates.

When I arrived at Sun Jie's mansion, it was already the time to hold the lights, but I saw that there was still a long row of sedan chairs parked at the gate of the gate on weekdays, and there were even more small servants mixed in, obviously waiting to see a group of officials in the capital. Until this time, He Ke just sighed from the bottom of his heart, it was really warm and cold, and the world was cold. In the past, how many officials in Nanjing took a look at this Sun Butang? After dealing with the fire and expelling Ruan Dacheng, who would dare to despise this person again? It's too late to catch up!

And the initiator of this qiē is He Kegang. It was He Kegang who invited Sun Butang to preside over the overall situation at a critical moment, so that the situation in Nanjing was restored to order in one day and two nights. Thinking of this, he was a little complacent, maybe Sun Butang would look at this, and he couldn't say for sure.

However, there were too many people invited to see in front of Sun Jiao's mansion, so he had to line up behind him, but he waited until the time of Haizheng, when the Sun Mansion family came out to close the door to thank the guests, it was not his turn. He had no choice but to go home anxiously, thinking about coming back early tomorrow morning to ask for a meeting.

He was just about to go out early the next morning, and the family hurriedly came to report the interrogation, saying that Sun Butang was going to try the arsonist, and the rumor was that he would be executed immediately after the trial!

He Kegang couldn't figure out for a while, what kind of idea this Sun Butang was playing, how could a dead Ruan family servant be more valuable than a living Ruan family servant?

The execution ground was set up in the city of Nanjing, and the governor had already set up a rack for the execution, and on the other side of the execution rack was the seat of the presiding officer. The governor of Nanzhili had already sat in the position of the chief judge, and the auditor seat also specially invited the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department and Wei Guogong. It's just that these two sat on the seat with half-squinted eyes, and they both looked like old monks, and obviously only made the idea of being a wooden fetus bodhisattva.

The onlookers in all directions could not see the end at a glance, and they all stood on tiptoe and raised their heads to see this once-in-a-century bustle. Sun Jie's trial was extremely simple, nothing more than questioning, recording, and signing, and the trial was carried out in an extremely smooth manner, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the trial.

Soon, the secretary office shook his head and read the judgment written by Sun Jiao, and the people couldn't understand the words of the previous text, but the last two words fell on tens of thousands of ears, but they were like cold water dripping into a hot oil pot.

"Sun Butang beheaded the arsonist ......"

"Why don't you kill Ruan Dacheng......

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and the fast horse suddenly broke through the crowd and came to the execution ground, but after seeing the man on the horse dismounting, he stepped forward and knelt in front of Sun Ji a few steps.

"Ministry, Ruan Dacheng asks to see the prisoner again!" This person is Li Shuangcai. He was entrusted with the important task of expelling Ruan Dacheng from Nanjing last night.

After Sun Ji heard this, he secretly said in his heart that Ruan Dacheng and his people also had a bit of conscience, and it was not in vain that old man Ding died for him. Therefore, he made an exception to let Ruan Dacheng enter the city to see the old servant for the last time.

Half an hour later, Ruan Dacheng appeared at the execution ground, but saw that he was dressed in a cyan robe and looked down, carrying a pot of wine and two porcelain bowls in his hands, and walked to the execution rack with difficulty. Before he could speak, his throat choked. And the old servant had long been unable to weep, and his face was already covered with muddy old tears.

Ruan Dacheng placed the two porcelain bowls on the ground and lined them up, poured them full of amber wine syrup, and first picked up a bowl and put it next to the old servant's mouth. The old servant had his hands and feet bound and locked, and could only be fed by men. It's just that the old servant didn't open his mouth to drink, but muttered: "Today's farewell is a permanent secret, but the old slave does not vomit or be unhappy, that day he set fire, the old slave only burned a dozen carved plates in his yard to dry, and the courtyard is spacious and tight, which will never cause a fire of such a scale!" ”

Ruan Dacheng was shocked by the old servant's words, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The old servant smiled miserably: "What's the use of saying that it's been done so far?" Will the lord believe it? ”

"What is the noise of the prisoners? Hurry up and eat the last drink, go early, and reincarnate early! ”

The prisoner Soap Li had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and he drank heavily behind the two of them. When the old servant heard this, he brought his mouth to the edge of the bowl and drank it all.

The sharp giant axe rose high, and the little sunlight reflected on the blade of the axe emitted a white and dazzling light, swinging down, the sharp axe blade cut through the flesh and flesh, cutting off the bones, until it passed through the body, and with a bang, it was firmly chopped into the wooden board under the prisoner, and only then did red and yellow liquid gush out.

The people watching the execution were boiling, and they kept shouting and cheering with blood......

On the Qinhuai River, a large ship sailed into the waterway of the Yangtze River, but dropped anchor in the river and stopped moving forward.

The servants of the family were perplexed, and they had not yet recovered from the tragic death of the old butler. The governor strictly ordered him to leave the city today, and his own lord stopped in the heart of the river, aren't you afraid that the governor will make another killing move? Despite their doubts, they did not dare to ask a word.

Ruan Dacheng stood on the bow of the ship with a gloomy face, looking at the Nanjing city wall looming in the distance with an unpredictable expression.

"I know you're wondering, why didn't I flee back to Tongcheng quickly, I had to stop on the Yangtze River......"

His voice was a little excited, "I just want to be here, watching the angel who went south with the holy decree coming, watching Li Xin being driven out of Jiangnan like a jumping dog!" At this point, his voice suddenly raised again. Let's tell you the truth, my lord, I already knew the content of the holy decree carried by the angels, and I took away a military position and moved to Jinan...... Ha...... Haha......"

A burst of strange laughter distorted Ruan Dacheng's face to the extreme, and the children of the family didn't know whether what the master said was true, they only felt that their master was stimulated and behaved a little crazy.

A moment later, Ruan Dacheng regained his calm, just before getting on the boat, he had just received a letter from Brother Shen, and Zuo Menggeng had already led a fleet loaded with nearly a million stones of rice up the river for a long time.

Ruan Dacheng smiled with gloomy compassion, looking at the direction of Longtan, and his mouth seemed to be full of words.

Li Xin sneezed three times in a row, he rubbed his nose and said secretly, who is scolding Lao Tzu behind his back!

"It's clear, that Huguang high roller is just a broken household in Huangzhou, he makes a living by being abducted and cheated, he can buy millions of stone rice at a time, it is absolutely suspicious!"

Mi Yan's expression was a little excited, as if she had found a treasure.

Li Xin pushed a letter on the table to Mi Yan, "Look, the answer has been revealed!" ”

Mi Yan stretched out his hand to pick up the letter on the table, and after looking at it a few times, his face was suspicious.

"Zuo Mengeng? But which Zuo Liangyu's son? What did he do by buying so much grain, and did he rebel? ”

"That's right! They are going to rebel! Li Xin responded lightly.

"Last year, there was a plague in Shanxi, Zuo Liangyu's army almost died, and then it was King Shen who went south to take him in, and the two of them went all the way into Shaanxi. Otherwise, why bother to buy this million stone military rations in private? ”

After listening to Li Xin's analysis, Mi Yan was not worried but happy, which was not necessarily a bad thing for the Three Guards and the Marquis of Zhenyu. At present, the Marquis of Zhenzhen is the target of everyone, as long as King Shen dares to come forward, I am afraid that everyone's eyes will be diverted!
