In the early morning of the next day, the forbidden army took advantage of the dawn to clear the streets of Shuchuan City and County Ya to the city gate, and then three steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry to guard against possible assassins, and the second Tianlong guard guarded the county Yamen tightly, guarding several carriages.

Wang Jun led Zhao Ling'er, who was wearing a white dress, and walked out of the county government first, followed by Anu and Tang Yu Xiaobao, and finally Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru.

Fan Zhongyan, Dian Wei, Di Qing and Tong Bo stood at the door, and when they saw Wang Jun and others coming out, they arched their hands and said: "The minister has seen the emperor, the concubine Niangniang." ”

Wang Jun said softly, looked at Di Qing and the others, and said: "Fan Zhongyan, the end of Di Qing's back will be handed over to you, you can find out what the monster did as soon as possible, whether to kill or prisoner, set the rules as soon as possible, and then return to Beijing to report on work." ”

"Obey." The two said in unison.

Turning his head to look at Tong Bo behind Di Qing, he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a red feather helmet, wearing a cloud climbing robe, flying feather armor, and a straight knife tied to his waist, looking majestic and radiant, like a newborn rising sun, he couldn't help but have a good feeling, and asked, "You are Tong Bo?" ”

Tong Bo became more and more respectful when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister is Tong Bo." ”

"Di Qing should have said that you will take his place after he leaves, I hope you can do the same as now." Wang Jun said with a little meaning.

Tong Bo couldn't help but think of Di Qing's advice to him in the handsome tent last night, so he naturally understood what Wang Jun meant, nodded heavily, and said, "The minister understands." ”

"I'll leave it to you here, Di Qing, Fan Zhongyan will finish the rest of the matter early, and I will wait for you in Bianjing." Wang Jun waved his hand and said, "Get in the car." ”

Wang Jun and several people boarded the carriage in turn, the crisp sound of the horse's hooves "clicked" sounded, the carriage drove slowly, and the scenery of the streets along the way and the people who watched worshipped were one by one.

Out of the city gate, Wang Jun and the others immediately abandoned the carriage and boarded the Yunding flying ship, and when all the forbidden troops and Tianlongwei got on the flying boat, a gust of wind caused the flying ship to break through the sky immediately.

As soon as he returned to Bianjing, Wang Jun did not return to the palace immediately, but fulfilled what he promised Zhao Ling'er, and placed Zhao Ling'er and others in the Xianling Mansion as soon as possible, and let his grandmother take care of Zhao Ling'er personally. Due to the recent unrest in Bianjing, Wang Jun left another 500 Heavenly Dragon Guards to protect Ling'er's safety.

Then Wang Jun moved back to the palace, Zhao Ling'er can live outside the palace, he can't, otherwise he will wait for the civil official to advise!

Su Xian, who had already received the news of Wang Jun's return, specially ordered someone to clean the Wenhua Hall carefully, light a few incense burns, and dye the Wenhua Hall into a fragrant fragrance.

"Meet the Emperor."

"Meet the Emperor."

All the way was full of the sound of worship, Wang Jun did not stop for a moment, went straight to the Wenhua Palace, and Su Xian, who was standing at the door of the Wenhua Hall and waiting, was the first to pay homage and said, "The old slave visits the emperor." ”

Wang Jun sighed lightly, strode into the Wenhua Palace, sat down on the couch, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, with a cold face, and said: "Spread Zhuge Liang, Wang Chengxiang, Eight Sages King, Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao came to see me." ”

Su Xian noticed that Wang Jun's face was cold, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, when he heard that the person who summoned Bao Zheng was there, he didn't understand why Wang Jun was angry, after all, Bao Zheng was now staying in the prison, bowed down, and said, "The old slave obeys." ”

Half an hour later, Zhuge Liang, the Eight Sages King, Wang Chengxiang, Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao came to the Wenhua Hall together, bowed to Wang Jun, and said: "The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"No courtesy." Immediately, Wang Jun's eyes shifted to Bao Zheng, who was wearing prison uniforms, and asked lightly, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Bao Zheng took a step forward and arched his hand: "The minister knows that he is guilty, and he still hopes that the emperor will condemn him." ”

As soon as Wang Jun heard this, he grabbed the teacup and smashed it at Bao Zheng's feet, and said angrily: "Surrender, surrender, don't you say anything else except this?" ”

When a few people heard this, they bowed their hands and said, "Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger." ”

Wang Jun took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, looked at Bao Zheng with an unkind face, and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" Do you all eat dry rice in Kaifeng Mansion? Even the official seal can be stolen, and the thieves can escape. ”

At this moment, Bao Zheng can't find an excuse to arrest the crime quickly, he can only say that people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, he prides himself on being a clean and honest official on weekdays, and he never spares any effort to avenge the people, but his official seal was stolen by a small thief.

However, no one in the yamen found out, if it weren't for the official seal that he would have used when he ascended to the court, he didn't know about it.

Wang Jun looked at Bao Zheng and had nothing to say, and said, "Who are you who stole your official seal?" ”

Bao Zheng subconsciously looked at Zhanzhao and replied: "Back to the emperor, as far as the minister knows, it is the second of the seven rats of the Trap Island, the brocade rat Bai Yutang, and the flying rat Bian Twenty moved together. ”

Wang Jun was stunned when he heard this, why did the seven rats of the Trap Island appear again, he remembered that it should be the five rats of the Trap Island, why are there two more rats, and asked: "What is the name of the seven rats of the Trap Island?" ”

Zhan Zhao hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the name of the seven rats on this empty island is that the people of the rivers and lakes call their skills Lu Fang, the gopher Han Zhang, the pangolin mouse Xu Qing, the river rat Jiang Ping, the brocade rat Bai Yutang, the flying rat Bian Twenty and the golden-nosed white rat Huayu.

The front five rats are all our human race, each of them has a unique hand, and the two rats behind are all demon clans, among which the flying rat Bian Twenty is a century-old bat spirit, it is rumored that it was almost killed by a snake demon when it just came out of the mountain, and it happened to be saved by the five brothers of Lu Fang, but because of their nickname, they thought that this was a god-given brother, and then the six became brothers. ”

Prime Minister Wang smiled slightly, and asked curiously: "There are only six rats here, who is this seventh rat?" ”

"Back to the words of Prime Minister Wang, this seventh rat is a golden-nosed white-haired rat essence is a banshee, good at using double swords, it was originally a strange beast raised by Lu Fang, I heard that it was a kind of spirit fruit that was accidentally eaten into essence, and the flower and moon appearance born after becoming an essence shape, they are a total of seven like-minded people and form brothers and sisters." Zhan Zhao explained.

A few people nodded when they heard this, and they could hear that the Seven Rats had a very good relationship, otherwise they would not have married Jin Lan, and the Eight Sages King immediately asked: "Then how do you know that the official seal was stolen by the Seven Rats of the Trap Island?" ”

I heard Bao Zheng hug his fists and said: "Back to the Eight Sages King, I found a note in the box where the official seal was installed, which said that if you want to retrieve the official seal, you must go to the Trap Island within twenty days, otherwise you will throw the official seal into Songjiang and stay in the white jade hall of the brocade mouse." ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this Seven Rats of the Trap Island is really a bold and reckless person, I don't know the majesty of my court and dare to steal the official seal privately, it is simply a way to kill myself, and the minister suggested sending a large army to level the Trap Island and find the official seal." ”

"What Lord Kong Ming said is a good word, and the old minister agrees." Prime Minister Wang immediately echoed. "For such chivalrous warriors, only by killing chickens and monkeys can they warn them that the majesty of the government is inviolable."

Zhanzhao was immediately anxious when he heard this, he was from the rivers and lakes, but he was a person who admired Bao Zheng and entered the court for talents, and he never forgot the past in the rivers and lakes.

He can't want other friends in the rivers and lakes to point at his backbone and scold, in his opinion, this is just a dispute in the rivers and lakes, and it is best to solve it with the methods of the people in the rivers and lakes, and said: "The emperor can't, the seven rats of the empty island have a chivalrous reputation on the rivers and lakes, if the army is used to level the empty island, it will definitely cause confrontation between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court."

Since this matter was caused by the minister, the minister was willing to go to the empty island alone to solve the matter. ”

Originally, Bao Zheng was going to suggest that the imperial court send troops to exterminate a thief on the empty island, or Zhanzhao persuaded him, so he changed his attention and never played, but now when he heard Zhanzhao say this, he immediately helped: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Zhanzhao's opinion."

From the beginning, the Seven Rats of the Trap Island rushed to Zhan Zhao, and the official seal of the minister was just a means for the Seven Rats of the Trap Island to force Zhan Zhao to go to the Trap Island.

Even if there is no official seal today, they will use other methods to force Zhanzhao to go to the Trap Island, so the minister suggested that Zhan Zhao go to the Trap Island in person to solve the matter. ”

Wang Jun thought about it when he heard this, and thought it was a very interesting thing when he watched TV, but when he encountered it, he felt angry, if it wasn't for others in Shushan at that time, he would definitely slap the brocade mouse to death, and said: "What do you think of the Eight Sages King?" ”

The Eight Sages King touched his beard and said with a smile: "Why should the emperor be embarrassed, according to the minister's understanding, Zhan's ability to protect is also one of the best in the rivers and lakes, since he dares to propose to go to the Trap Island alone, he must have a way to get back the official seal with his skills." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately retorted and said: "The Eight Sages King's words are bad, if it is an ordinary competition or challenge, of course the imperial court should not interfere.

However, Bai Yutang and Bian Twenty of the Trapping Island dared to steal the official seal of Kaifeng Mansion without permission, which was a move that hit the prestige of the imperial court, so we will not be ruthless, wouldn't those lawless people in the rivers and lakes learn from the practice of the Seven Rats of the Trap Island, and wouldn't they make a bunch of messy things when the time comes.

Therefore, the minister suggested that the Seven Rats of the Trap Island should be hit with a heavy fist, and the same thing must not happen again. ”

Although Zhanzhao respects Zhuge Liang very much on weekdays, he still has a trace of disgust for Zhuge Liang's words, no matter how he is a member of the Jianghu people, in his opinion, those people who dare to do these things are not really people in the rivers and lakes, most of them are chickens and dogs, at most they are thieves in the green forest, and the real people in the rivers and lakes should be hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and acting chivalrous.

Although he didn't know why the Seven Rats of the Trap Island came to steal the official seal, he still admired the chivalrous behavior of the Seven Rats of the Trap Island in the past on the rivers and lakes, maybe there was some misunderstanding in it, and said: "Lord Kong Ming, please forgive Zhan Zhao for disagreeing with this, most of the friends in the rivers and lakes that Zhan Zhao knows are acting with chivalrous hearts, and most of the people who really dare to be hostile to the government are gangsters.

And the Seven Rats of the Trap Island are even more chivalrous people, so Zhan Zhao believes that there is any misunderstanding in this matter, as long as Zhan Zhao goes to the Trap Island, he will be able to resolve the misunderstanding and get back the official seal. ”

Wang Jun turned his head to look at Bao Zheng and said, "No matter how you say it, the official seal of your Kaifeng Mansion was stolen, do you have anything to say?" ”

Bao Zheng arched his hand and said: "The minister believes in the Zhan guard, and the minister is willing to guarantee the Zhan guard, and he will be able to retrieve the official seal when he goes to the Trap Island." ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Lord Bao, if there are only Jinmao Rats and Flying Rats on the Trap Island, I don't worry that the Zhan Guards will not be able to get back the official seal, but there are not only Jinmao Rats on the Trap Island, there are also five other rats

However, Zhan's guards are alone, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to block and four hands, not to mention that there are two goblins in the Seven Rats of the Sky Island, so for the safety of Zhan's guards, I suggested sending a large army. ”

Zhan Zhao's gaze at Zhuge Liang was much better when he heard this, and he couldn't help but blame himself in his heart: "It seems that he lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Lord Kong Ming does not look down on the people in the rivers and lakes, but is worried about his own safety." ”

Then he rushed at Zhuge Liang, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Kong Ming, if you are worried about Zhanzhao's safety, you don't have to, the Seven Rats of the Sky Island are also chivalrous people no matter how they say it, and now they have committed a taboo in the rivers and lakes by stealing the official seal of Kaifeng Mansion, if they dare to besiege Zhanzhao again, they will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future." ”

The Eight Sages King still felt inappropriate, thought for a moment, and said: "Zhan Guard, what you said is not right, but this king has something to say, according to what you said, the seven rats on the Sky Island are all chivalrous people, but they did the theft of the official seal today.

How can you guarantee that they won't besiege you on Trap Island, after all, there are one and there are two, and when they besiege you on Trap Island, no one else will know. ”

Bao Zheng nodded in agreement when he heard it, he was afraid that Zhan Zhao would go to the Trap Island alone and have an accident, so he would report the theft of the official seal to the imperial court, and said: "The minister originally planned to hope that the imperial court would send a large army to retrieve the official seal, but the Zhan guard insisted on going to the trap island alone, so the minister agreed with the Zhan guard's suggestion, after all, the identity of the Zhan guard is somewhat special." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people present nodded subconsciously, they had been paying attention to Zhanzhao's official position as a sword guard, but they forgot that Zhanzhao was also a member of the Jianghu knights in the past.

Anyway, he has a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, if this incident leads to the army participating in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it make Zhanzhao unable to see people.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhanzhao deeply and said, "Zhan Guard, are you sure that the affairs of the rivers and lakes are still the rivers and lakes?" ”

Zhan Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Kong Ming, Zhan Zhao knows that this is difficult for some strong people, but Zhan Zhao's past background can't change this relationship.

If Zhanzhao uses the army of the imperial court today, I am afraid that the friends in the rivers and lakes will only be able to cut off Zhanzhao in the future, so they will not be able to use the army. ”

Wang Jun coughed dryly, interrupted the words of several people, and said, "Okay, I have made a decision on this matter." ”

looked at Zhan Zhao and said: "Zhan Zhao, I will give you a month to retrieve the official seal, since you said that you can't use the power of the imperial court, then go and invite helpers from the rivers and lakes to go to the Trap Island, the official seal must not be lost, after a month, if you can't get the official seal back, I will send a large army to do it." ”

Zhanzhao was greatly surprised when he heard this, and he didn't expect Wang Jun to agree to him going alone, and said, "Thank you to the emperor." ”

Turning his head to look at Bao Zheng, he said without hesitation: "You also have a responsibility for the loss of Bao Zheng's official seal, since today you have gone to the prison to think about it, the official seal cannot be retrieved for a day, and you cannot be released from prison for a day." ”

"Obey the order" Bao Zheng said.

Zhan Zhao was a little unhappy when he heard this, this matter was caused by him, he should be punished, Bao Zheng should not be punished, and he was just about to open his mouth to persuade Wang Jun to change his words, but he asked Bao Zheng to pull his sleeve and shake his head to stop him.

After a pause, Wang Jun said again: "Kaifeng Mansion will be fined for half a year. ”

Bao Zheng hugged his fists and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”。

"Come on, send Bao Zheng to the prison to think about it." Wang Jun said lightly.

In an instant, two guards walked in from outside the door, escorting Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao out of the Wenhua Palace.
