Chapter 173: Slap in the face

Zhao Si saw Wang Mang's surprised expression, and said with a smile: "What, Wang Zhutou doesn't believe it?"

"It's hard to believe. Wang Mang nodded and said: "The six doors are the start-up yamen, and the current ones in charge of the yamen are His Majesty's henchmen Shang Yang and Zhongshu Ling's eldest grandson Wuji. ”

"The Six Doors thing is really not easy to handle, but it doesn't mean that there is no way. Zhao Si looked confident.

"Oh, could it be that Fourth Prince Zhao has a channel between the eldest grandson Wuji and Shang Yang?" Wang Mang's expression moved, and he said in his heart If Shang Yang or the eldest grandson Wuji have a relationship with the Zhao family, then he really can't help but be on guard against some things in the future.

"The eldest grandson Wuji is a member of the eldest grandson family, the eldest grandson family and our Zhao family have never dealt with each other, I and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally will not have anything to do with it, as for the ...... of Shang Yang" Zhao Si pondered for a moment and said: "This person is a lonely minister, until now we don't know who is behind him, we only know that he is related to the Legalist family, but there is no surviving Legalist giant involved with him, and we have no relationship with this person." ”

Hearing that Shang Yang and the eldest grandson Wuji had nothing to do with the Zhao family, Wang Mang was relieved a lot, and said with a smile: "In this case, why is the fourth son of Zhao so confident that he can allow me to be the deputy head catcher." ”

"I heard that the eldest grandson Wuji took out the position of vice president head catcher and let the eighteen head catchers compete, and whoever made the greatest contribution will be the deputy head catcher. Zhao Si said with a smile: "The current duty of the six doors is more to detect the Qin criminals of the imperial court, and Zhao is not talented, and he happens to know the location of the Qin criminals on the heavenly list of several criminal departments. ”

Wang Mang's pupils shrank, and even Lu Yuan, who was listening on the side, looked at Zhao Si in surprise.

The Criminal Department divides the imperial court prisoners into three lists, among which the characters on the list are relatively simple, and the general arrest and fast officials can be arrested when they see it, and the characters on the ground list are much more powerful, and many of them have to be personally sent by the Criminal Department to arrest them, and as for the characters on the heavenly list, they are all old thieves, and each of them has committed a lot of crimes, but because of their personal strength is too strong and their whereabouts are ethereal, since the establishment of the list, the Qin criminals on the heavenly list can be counted with one hand.

Some people say that the fundamental purpose of the Criminal Department's establishment of this heavenly list is not to let people arrest them, but to let people in the court hide away after seeing them.

If he can really catch a few Qin criminals on the list of the Criminal Department, Wang Mang will really be able to sit on the position of deputy chief arrester.

But the whereabouts of the people on the Tianbang are uncertain, how can people find them casually, and those who have found them have found a few.

Wang Mang frowned slightly, and said, "Fourth Prince Zhao, it's hard for me to believe that you have the information of the people in the Heavenly List. ”

Zhao Si laughed and said: "People who know me Zhao Si know that I have never been a person with empty mouths and white teeth, if I say yes, then there is, I say yes, then I can." ”

"Zhao Sigongzi said this, it seems that this is inevitable?" Wang Mang's eyes were glazed.

"Of course. Zhao Si nodded, looked at Lu Yuandao, and said: " First of all, Brother Lu may have had to be involved in the affairs of the river yamen because of the order of the imperial court, but if I saved Brother Lu from worries, then Brother Lu will not take the risk and continue to be entangled in the affairs of the river yamen, and secondly, Wang Zhutou, you are here for the position of deputy chief catcher, but to tell the truth, a Wang Wengui is too involved, and Wang Zhutou is not the host, Wang Wengui's life is not enough for Wang Zhutou to be promoted to deputy chief catcher, and Tianbang Qin is different, enough to make Wang Zhutou promoted to deputy chief catcher, which is a trade-off, needless to say, Wang Zhutou is also clear, in the end, as the so-called money can pass through the gods, 100,000 taels donated to Xinyang County Monk Ziyuan, 50,000 taels to Wang Zhutou car and horse money, I think the two of you must have seen my sincerity. ”

Zhao Sigongzi deserves his name!

Lu Yuan and Wang Mang glanced at each other, and they both saw the vigilance of Zhao Si in each other's eyes, this person's grasp of people's hearts has reached the pinnacle.

If you change two people in this situation, it must be very likely to be in the same stream as the Zhao family, but it is a pity that it is Wang Mang and Lu Yuan here.

Wang Mang will ignore him, because Wang Mang's true identity is the emperor of Great Qin, how could he do a stupid thing to help outsiders dig his corner, as for Lu Yuan, if it weren't for Wang Mang's previous statement, Lu Yuan's words, and the fact that the carriage and horses would investigate this matter to the end, maybe Lu Yuan would really be persuaded by Zhao Si.

But now, Lu Yuan glanced at Wang Mang, who didn't speak, smiled bitterly in his heart, and arched his hand towards Zhao Si and said: "The sincerity of Zhao Sigongzi, Lu admires, but the imperial court has issued a holy decree, and Lu has to follow, Zhao Sigongzi, don't hide it, Lu has set a time, and he will visit Nanyang in the near future, and find the Weishui River to make Wang Wengui investigate the corruption case of the Weishui River." ”

The smile on Zhao Si's face froze, and he frowned and looked at Lu Yuan, as if he was getting to know Lu Yuan again, and finally said, "Brother Lu, have you really thought about the consequences?"

"Lu has always made a decision to do things before acting!" Lu Yuan said categorically, that is, he had agreed with Wang Mang to jointly handle the river yamen case, so he couldn't break his word and get fat, otherwise he Lu Yuan would be so head and rat, how would he stand in the world in the future.

"What about Wang Zhutou, are you the same as Lu Yuan?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Mang, his eyes full of warnings.

Wang Mang grinned and said: "The position of the deputy general manager to catch the head is indeed very attractive, and 50,000 taels of silver is indeed tempting, but Wang, the person who likes to do his own things the most in his life, and reaches out to take what he wants, and his favorite motto is to do it himself." ”

"Do it yourself?" Zhao Si smiled on his face, full of coldness appeared on his face, looked at Wang Mang and said, "The two of you are so ignorant, are you planning to toast and not eat and drink?"

"Zhao Si, are you threatening us?" Wang Mang sneered.

"What about the threat?" Zhao Si also sneered back, and said: "On this ground, what I, Zhao Si, said, is Wang Fa, and a word from my Zhao Si can make it difficult for you to move an inch!"

"Bold!" Wang Mang scolded: "A bold fanatic, he dares to threaten the court officials and be disrespectful to the court officials, such a madman, Lord Lu, I don't know what crime to be guilty of!"

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Mang a little speechlessly, how could this head-catcher like to buckle people's hats at every turn, but after looking at Zhao Si, Lu Yuan was also a little angry with his tone, and immediately said silently: "According to the law of Great Qin, those who are disrespectful to court officials for no reason should be slapped ten times to set an example!"

"Ten slaps?" Zhao Si raised his head and laughed, and said arrogantly: "My son is standing here, I will look at Manxinyang City, who dares to touch a finger of my Zhao Si?"

Smack!

A slap print instantly appeared on Zhao Si's face, and then in Zhao Si's stunned face, another mouth fell on Zhao Si's face, and then in Zhao Si's angry eyes, another slap came down.

Wang Mang withdrew his palm, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "If you are asked to pretend, I like to beat people like you who pretend to be B!"
