443 Rectification
On the Yama Palace, the king of Yama was furious because of the riot of the ghosts on Huangquan Road last night, and locked up the bull head and horse noodles who were responsible for management in the dungeon. Subsequently, he found out that Lu Zhidao, the judge of the Chacha Division, did not appear in the court meeting, which made him angry.
Lu Zhidao's disappearance almost confirmed my previous speculation: he must be the behind-the-scenes manipulator behind Lu Yu's collusion and murder of his comrades-in-arms!
So, I boldly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the left army led by the minister was responsible for guarding the ghost gate last night. However, during the inspection, the minister found that Lu Yu, the captain of the 9th Battalion on duty, that is, the nephew of Lu Zhidao, the judge of the Chacha Division, had secretly colluded with the individual inconsistencies between the Liaison Division and Huangquan Road, brought foreign spirits into the city, and inserted them into the reincarnation team to collect bribes. ”
After repeated admonitions, Lu Yu still regarded the minister's advice as the wind in his ears. The minister immediately dismissed Lu Yu from command on the grounds of leaving his post without permission and disobeying military orders, and asked him to return to the camp to reflect on it, and then deal with it after the military department discussed it. But when the night came, after the riot broke out, when the minister was ordered to gather a team to go to the Ghost Gate Pass for reinforcements, he found that Lu Yu had left the camp without permission and did not know where to go! ”
When he arrived at the Ghost Gate Pass, the minister learned that Lu Yu actually took several other masked men to hide their souls, and some of his subordinates on duty at the Ghost Gate Pass were in harmony with the outside world, openly killing their comrades in the army, and went out of the underworld! Later, according to the minister's cronies and subordinates before he died, one of the masked men was likely to be Lu Zhidao! ”
"Wow!"
As soon as I finished saying these words in one breath, King Yama and the other civil servants and generals in the palace were in an uproar again. It was completely beyond their imagination that Lu Zhidao would do such a reckless and rebellious and rebellious thing.
At this time, Cui Yu, the judge of the Yin Law Division, who had always been at odds with Lu Zhidao, took the opportunity to pour a spoonful of oil on the fire: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what General Zhai said is very likely to be the truth. I think that at the beginning, when Lu Zhidao was reorganized in the Yin Army, he proposed that he could directly recruit disciples and children from major families and sects to enter the Yin Army. His nephew Lu Yu lurked in through his relationship and was appointed to the post of Yin School. Judging from this, I am afraid that it has not been a year or two since Lu Zhidao planned this matter! ”
"Traitor! Traitor! King Yama was extremely angry, and he jumped like thunder, patted the armrest of the dragon chair and scolded: "I didn't expect that the biggest rebel and thief has been hiding by my side all along!" ”
"The bull head and horse noodles are really not clean! Connived at his subordinates to take bribes and privately accept wandering ghosts and wild ghosts into the city! Sins are unforgivable! It's not a pity to die! Black and white, and the two of you! ”
As soon as Black and White Impermanence heard King Yama call their names, he also hurriedly came out of the column and fell to his knees. However, the two of them were quite smart, and they did not quibble and shirk, but took the initiative to accept the responsibility for the lax discipline of their subordinates. In this way, they can put all the great charges of participating in the rebellion to the subordinates who received the money and lost their pawns to protect the car.
"Cui Yu!" King Yama shouted again.
"The minister is here!"
"For the time being, you will be in charge of the Chacha Division, and you must find out if there are any remnants of Lu Dao in the Chacha Division? In addition, I order you to immediately rectify the rule of officials, focusing on the thorough investigation of the corruption and bribery case of Huangquan Road and the leading division! ”
"Obey the order!"
"Day trip! Night! ”
"The minister is here!"
"The minister is here!"
"I order you two to immediately send pursuers to find out the whereabouts of Lu Zhidao and the others. At the same time, thoroughly investigate the traitors in the army, and once Lu Yu is found to be in the same party, there will be no forgiveness! ”
"Yes!"
After the court discussion in the Yama Palace, a harsh rectification movement was indeed set off within the underworld. All ministries and divisions, including the Yin Army, began to investigate one by one whether anyone else had anything to do with Lu Zhidao, Lu Yu and others.
Such a high-pressure investigation action quickly found out several of the inaccuracies who received the money from the leading division. And whether or not the bull-headed horse-faced men received the money, as long as they had not lost their lives in the riot that night, they were all thrown into the dungeon, waiting with their superiors to go to the guillotine!
As Lu Yu's direct boss, I am naturally the focus of the investigation. However, in view of the fact that I was the first to discover Lu Yu's small actions and exposed the conspiracy of Lu Zhidao and others in front of King Yama, Cui Yu, who was in charge of the investigation, and the two marshals of Day Tour and Night Tour did not suspect me for the time being.
In fact, I'm not panicking, as long as I do things openly, why don't I be afraid of others to investigate?
But what I never expected was that I didn't make a mistake in business, but I was caught in private matters, and in the end I still failed to protect my life, and was inexplicably charged with a big crime!
Ten days after the reincarnation ghost riot, calm had long since returned to Huangquan Road, and the reincarnation system of the underworld had returned to normal after the new virtue scales had been built.
I haven't drunk Huangquan soup for ten days in a row. Seeing that the situation in the prefecture had stabilized and the limelight had passed, I called Wang Qi and asked him to go to Wangxiangtai to find Cai Yi to get yellow spring water as usual.
No, Wang Qi has been gone for a long time and hasn't come back. I was a little anxious, so I paced to the camp gate to watch, hesitating whether to go and see for myself.
"Didn't I go for ten days, Cai Yi thought that I didn't need the yellow spring water anymore, so I didn't go to the Yin Si Jian to get more water today?" I guessed to myself.
While he was thinking about it, a man suddenly ran in from outside the camp gate. I looked up and saw that Wang Qi had finally returned.
But Wang Qi did not carry a bucket in his hand, but was sweating profusely, and said to me with a sad face: "General, I went to the back door of Zuisheng Building to find Master Cai to get water just now, but I was discovered by the head of his family on the spot. So it haunted me for a long time! ”
"The head of the Ghost Dining Gate?"
I was taken aback. The head of the ghost food door is naturally Kuai Qian, and he found out that Cai Yi secretly helped me get yellow spring water, which is troublesome!
I hurriedly asked Wang Qi: "Did he embarrass you?" ”
Wang Qi shook his head and said, "He didn't dare to embarrass me, but he found a letter on Master Cai's body, which was the letter that you asked me to hand over to Master Cai before!" ”
Hearing this, my heart was even colder, and I secretly said: "It's over!" ”
At this time, Kuai Qian finally found out that I was Feng Daozhang's apprentice. Based on the grievances and contradictions between him and his apprentice Liao Keng and my master back then, I am afraid that I will face a lot of trouble in the underworld in the future, and I don't know what the Ghost Dining Sect will do with my identity?
That night, I was worried, I didn't finish the meal, and even Liu Han didn't have the heart to be happy when he came to me, so I lay on the bed and sighed violently.
Liu Han saw that I was acting strange, so he asked me, "What's wrong?" ”
I didn't want to hide it from her, so I told her the story of my master's grievances with Kuai Qian, Liao Keng and others, as well as the fact that Wang Qi's identity was exposed when he sent Wang Qi to fetch water today.
Liu Han listened to it but didn't think it was a serious situation, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" The person who was expelled from the underworld back then was your master, not you. You also relied on the accumulation of military exploits to sit in the position of Yin General, what does it have to do with your master? ”
"Having said that, you can't avoid suspicion after all!" I said with a sad face, "Those children of the family can be directly recruited into the Yin Army by relying on their innocence, and they are expected to be promoted." And a person like me, who carries a black history, will not be easy to mix in the Yin Army in the future! ”
"I still think you're overthinking." Liu Han still disagreed, and said: "Besides, your master just fried one less dish back then, and he didn't commit the crime of rebellion like Lu Zhidao and them, maybe King Yama has long forgotten the little things of decades ago." It's impossible to blame you! ”
I sighed, "Of course it would be best if that was the case, but that's not all I'm worried about. Speaking of rebellion, after all, Lu Yu was my subordinate, and the evil ghosts who made trouble and Lu Zhidao who escaped were all closed through the ghost gate I was guarding on duty, and I always had to bear some responsibility, for fear that someone would sue me for this! ”
Liu Han frowned and said, "Lu Zhidao and Lu Yu didn't you take the initiative to report it to King Yama?" How can anyone still doubt you? ”
I said, "It's a delicate thing. Now that the internal rectification and picketing in the prefecture are so tense, it is inevitable that some people plan to declare personal vendettas, and it is not easy to settle a trumped-up charge? ”
"That's right!" Liu Han couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this.
Liu Han is no stranger to such a thing as carrying a black pot, and it can even be said that he has a deep understanding. When she was in Zuoqiu City, she had encountered the suspicion and exclusion of her political opponent Yin Fa because of the defection of her master Wu Fang, and finally had to take the initiative to sign up for the Yin Army, just to escape from Zuoqiu City.
Liu Han and I rarely lay on the bed and chatted all night, talking about the current situation in the underworld. In the end, the two of us finally reached an agreement, both of which felt that the current atmosphere within the underworld and the Yin Army was too oppressive and the situation was uncertain, and it might be the right choice to resign and leave at this time.
"Tuk Tuk!"
While I was talking, there was a knock on my dormitory door.
"Who?" I asked.
"Me." The people outside whispered a little response, but I really didn't hear who it was.
I asked Liu Han to hide under the covers, get dressed and go to open the door. I only opened the door a small crack and looked out, oh, it turned out to be Cheng Youliang!
"Brother Cheng, what's the matter with you looking for me so late?"
Cheng Youliang came out of the shadows where he was hiding, his face was anxious, and he whispered to me, "Why are you still here?" Don't you know that it's almost a catastrophe? ”
"Catastrophe is coming?" I was even more surprised when I heard this, and hurriedly asked him what he meant by this.
Cheng Youliang said: "Just now when I was passing by the military headquarters of the former army, I saw Marshal Riyou coming to find our General Shan Wuji. I heard him say that Liao Keng, the head of the imperial dining room, found out that you were the apprentice of the former head of the prefecture who was expelled from the prefecture more than forty years ago, and found out that there was a collusion between you and Lu Zhidao, so he wanted Shan Wuji to bring troops to arrest you and go to the inspection department! ”
I was surprised: "It's true that I am the apprentice of the former head of the imperial dining room, but why did I get involved with Lu Zhidao?" ”
Cheng Youliang said again: "My general Shan Wuji also asked so. Marshal Riyou said that Liao Keng has two letters in his hand, one is written by your master to a person from the Ghost Dining Gate, asking him to help you get yellow spring water; Another letter is for you to pass on to Lu Zhidao, about how to plan a big havoc in the underworld! ”
