Chapter 511: Capture the Wood King
If he can't capture the wood king back, maybe in another three and five years, he will take the opportunity to grow stronger. At that time, it was necessary to work again to mobilize the people, and it was always the people who suffered.
Fang Kunji took a step forward.
"The emperor can rest assured, Weichen knows everything about him, and he will be arrested within three days."
Fang Kunji said impassionedly, without the slightest embarrassment.
The emperor immediately delighted his face and began to smile.
"Well, I'll give you three days. All Aiqing can also be arrested together, if anyone can get the king of wood to come back to see me, I will reward him with a thousand gold and give him a fief. ”
The emperor blurted out without hesitation, which made the ministers excited.
Especially those people in the rivers and lakes are ready to move.
"The emperor's speech is happy, this matter is on us, and finding people is the strength of those of us in the rivers and lakes."
A man at the head took the initiative to stand up, he was the head of one of the sects, and he was the president elected by the people in the rivers and lakes this time.
After hearing this, Fang Kunji next to him was a little disdainful. He thought to himself that no one could know the Wood King's escape route better than him.
The emperor discussed with them here, and was a little tired, so he went back to rest inside, and they left separately.
Fang Kunji began to search for the traces of the Wood King. He didn't go anywhere else, but went to the pawnshop to stay guard.
"Master, why are we here to guard the pawnshop? Shouldn't you go to the gates of the city and keep watch? I see that all those people are guarding the city gate or outside the city. The men under him didn't understand what Fang Kunji meant.
Fang Kunji snorted coldly.
"These people in the rivers and lakes are really vulgar, where is the heart of this king as fine as dust. On that day, the Wood King fled in disarray, and all he hastily took with him all the gold, silver and jewelry, and I think he would first come to the pawnshop and take the money as a silver ticket. It is much more convenient to carry a silver ticket than to carry a gold and silver jewelry. Except in the capital, where can he sell these gold, silver and jewels without being suspected......"
Fang Kunji analyzed calmly, and his subordinates frowned, still puzzled.
"Although he could hide the gold and silver jewels on his body, they were too heavy and not at all as light as a silver ticket. Even if he wanted to escape, it would be impossible for him to escape from the capital at this moment......"
Fang Kunji explained again, and his subordinates thoroughly understood.
"The prince is really wise, he can know Fang Kunji's thoughts well, and the little one now understands. He must have known that these people were looking for him outside the city gates and at the city gates, and he would definitely find another way later......"
Seeing that his subordinates had understood, Fang Kunji nodded excitedly.
Later, they wandered around the largest pawnshop in the capital.
When it was time to close, a man dressed as an old woman came towards him with a cane, carrying a bag on his back.
Fang Kunji only needed one glance to recognize him as the Wood King.
"His Royal Highness the Wood King, don't come unharmed!" Fang Kunji walked over, his gaze cold.
Seeing that he had been exposed, the Wood King grabbed the burden and threw it at Fang Kunji, trying to escape from one side.
But there were already a lot of traps laid here to block him.
Pull down the hood on his head, and see his true face, sure enough, it is His Royal Highness the Wood King.
The moment he saw Fang Kunji, the wood king gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Damn bastard, how do you know that the old woman is the king?"
"It's very simple, because this king knows that this pawnshop is the largest in the capital, and it has always had a precedent for receiving tribute from the emperor. The large pile of gold, silver and jewelry that the prince brought is not an ordinary thing, how dare an ordinary pawnshop accept ......it," Fang Kunji smiled coldly, analyzing what King Mu was thinking and the predicament in front of him.
The Wood King sighed. Now that the tide is gone, he has no resistance, and allows Fang Kunji to bring him back to the palace.
The group came to the imperial garden and saw the emperor waiting there.
The emperor was sitting next to the queen mother, the queen and others, and almost all the harem and courtiers arrived, all wanting to see how this chaotic thief was caught.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, he has been with the mourning family for more than ten years. is also the son of the former emperor, it is better to leave him alive and let him survive. The Queen Mother was a little more sad between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but plead.
The emperor knows this truth, and when his father was alive, he appreciated this brother the most.
"I don't need you to intercede for this king, since this king has fallen into your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, I just hope you can give this king a good time!" King Mu had already seen this and yelled at the emperor.
"Enough is the Wood King! You have trapped the people in dire straits, but you are still guilty? The emperor slapped the table hard, stood up from one side, and pointed at the nose of the wood king and scolded loudly.
The Wood King suddenly laughed.
"If you become a king or lose a coward, don't say much, if you want to kill or chop, come casually." The Wood King closed his eyes in pain.
Although he didn't want to die, he also knew that he might not be able to escape death today.
But as long as the emperor is the emperor, their speculation is even stronger, and whoever dares to try to get his hands on their throne will only die.
The emperor's face was ugly, and all the other ministers knelt down and begged the emperor to kill King Mu in order to correct the dynasty.
Listening to their words and looking at the queen mother's eyes, the emperor hesitated for a while. I had been weighing it for a long time before I let out a long sigh.
"In any case, he and I are both sons of my father, and if my father has a spirit in heaven, I don't want me to mutilate my siblings. Even if he is wrong, he is always the son of his father, and the so-called son is not the fault of the father......"
The emperor said a lot of words to excuse King Mu, and finally decided to exile him to the frontier as a slave for life, never to return to the court.
After announcing the order, let his subordinates leave with the wooden king, and the matter finally came to an end.
"Fang Kunji, you have made a contribution to calming down this time, and I will definitely reward you. It's just that you already have your own fief and a title, and I don't know what to reward you......" The emperor was in trouble for a while.
Fang Kunji is different from other ministers, he himself has titles and fiefs, and he also enjoys the title of prince.
The emperor's words made Fang Kunji laugh.
"In this case, the emperor does not have to reward the micro-ministers, it is an honor for the micro-ministers to share the worries of the emperor. It's better to write this matter down for the time being, and then ask the emperor for a reward when Weichen thinks of the reward. ”
Fang Kunji's method was good, and the emperor agreed.
On the second day, King Mu was escorted by several officers and soldiers to start the road of exile, and the whole thing looked embarrassed.
The people of the whole capital came to see him off, and they took rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, beat the wooden king all over his body, and praised the emperor for his bravery and benevolence.
At the same time, Chu Qiaosi and Chu Qiaomeng finally came back, and they went to meet the emperor as soon as possible.
At this time, the emperor had just quelled the rebellion of the wooden king, and he was in a good mood, drinking tea happily in the imperial study while enjoying the song and dance performance.
