Chapter 40: The Zhou Sisters
Qin Rongshuai returned to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen with Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian who looked confused, and the entire Yamen was shocked.
Because it was a miracle that the people who were taken away by Dongchang could come out alive, not to mention that they reappeared in the yamen intact after a few hours.
It seems that the background of these people is really unfathomable.
Hiss, terrifying.
In fact, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian didn't know what was going on from beginning to end, and the whole process was like sleepwalking.
"This is coming back?" Lu Wenzhao sat on the chair of the pacification envoy, always feeling unreal.
Before he had time to sigh, a eunuch who passed the decree soon came, gave a list, and asked Jinyiwei to take someone tonight.
Lu Wenzhao came back to his senses at this time, and immediately gathered more than 100 households and assigned the tasks one by one.
Shen Lian suddenly stood up, "Lord Lu, let's send a few errands to the lower officials." ”
Lu Wenzhao paused for a moment, and then understood that Shen Lian was now restless and wanted to find something to distract, so he nodded and randomly assigned a few officials to Shen Lian.
Qin Rongshuai glanced at it and found that there was a right-hand imperial historian Zhou Qiyuan on the list, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Why don't I go with my second brother too." ”
Shen Lian didn't think much about it, so he agreed, and the two of them hurried out of Beizhen Fusi with a large team of men under their command, and went to arrest people one by one according to the list.
The wolf-like brocade guard smashed open the doors of the officials one by one, shouting: "XXX, your incident has happened!" ”
Some of the people whose names were called were dead-faced, some pretended to be calm, and some shouted injustice.
There are hundreds of sentient beings, and so on.
Shen Lian came to Zhou Qiyuan's house with a tense face, and waved his hand, "Send someone to block the back door and arrest someone!" ”
Lu Jianxing led the people to lead the order, Yin Cheng climbed the courtyard wall neatly, and after turning in, he opened the door bolt, and the brocade guards of the brigade rushed in.
"Jinyi Wei arrests people!"
"Don't move!"
The brocade guards rushed into the room, followed by screams, crashes, and the cracking of porcelain.
After a while, Zhou Qiyuan, who was disheveled and depressed, was carried to the courtyard, he gritted his teeth and didn't speak, just glared at Shen Lian and Qin Rongshuai fiercely.
Qin Rongshuai slowly walked in front of Zhou Qiyuan, looked at him carefully, and found that his expression was full of unwillingness, as if he was resentful.
He couldn't help but ask strangely, "Lord Zhou knows me?" ”
"I don't know!" Zhou Qiyuan immediately denied it.
"Don't you know you're staring at me?" Qin Rongshuai frowned, "I thought I had offended Lord Zhou somewhere." ”
"Phew, factory guard eagle dog, cruelty to loyalty, aiding and abetting, everyone will be punished!" Zhou Qiyuan looked angry.
"Aiding and abetting?" Qin Rongshuai sneered and began to slap, "Wonderful, wonderful, Lord Zhou, Qin Mou is not convinced by anyone in his life, so he will accept your civil official's mouth." ”
"Reversing black and white, confusing the public, referring to deer as horses, you are really powerful."
"Shameless villain, you spew blood!" Zhou Qiyuan immediately glared angrily, and just wanted to open his mouth to continue scolding.
Qin Rongshuai shouted violently and interrupted him, "Zhou Qiyuan, you killed the monarch and plotted rebellion, caused chaos in the dynasty, blamed others, killed people and destroyed the mouth, and formed a party to disrupt the government, this is conclusive evidence. ”
"You don't want to repent, you actually scolded me for mutilating Zhongliang and aiding the abuse, which Zhongliang did I mean? Is there a loyal and good man like you in the world who kills kings and plots rebellion? ”
"You are also a scholar, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, have you read to the belly of a dog?"
"You!" Zhou Qiyuan's face turned red, and he trembled with anger.
"What, Lord Zhou, do you dare to say that you haven't done it?" Qin Rongshuai sneered, "Do you need me to come up with evidence?" ”
Zhou Qiyuan was immediately speechless, Shen Lian stepped forward and directly removed his chin, a little impatient, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about with this kind of person." Take! ”
"Second brother, believe it or not, this kind of person doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong until now." Qin Rongshuai looked at Zhou Qiyuan, who was dragged away, patted Shen Lian, turned his head and saw Zhou Qiyuan's family members huddled together in the courtyard, trembling.
Among them were two teenage girls, crying with a headache.
Qin Rongshuai's eyes lit up, and he pretended to ask unintentionally: "Second brother, how to deal with Qiyuan's family this week?" ”
"If it weren't for the sin of the Nine Clans, the man would be exiled to the army, and his family would be assigned to the Jiaofang Division." Shen Lian replied casually.
"This ......" Qin Rongshuai stabbed Shen Lian and raised his head to signal him, "Forget it, adults, but this kid hasn't done anything wrong, isn't it too cruel to do this." ”
Shen Lian sneered, "If you want to blame it, it's to blame them for the wrong birth." ”
Saying that he was about to leave, he suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the crowd, and asked with a strange face, "Third brother, have you looked at Zhou Qiyuan's daughter?" ”
"No, absolutely not!" Qin Rongshuai hurriedly denied it.
Shen Lian smiled and didn't speak, patted Qin Rongshuai, turned around and left.
Qin Rongshuai sighed, beckoned Yin Cheng over, and said in a low voice: "Go, erase Zhou Qiyuan's two daughters from the roster." ”
"Don't worry, sir!" Yin Cheng squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I will personally send these two to your mansion in a while, and not a single hair will fall out." ”
"Who the said to send it to my house." Qin Rongshuai glared at him and said quietly, "Send Lord Shen to the mansion, you Lord Shen, just this ......"
"Oh!" Yin Cheng had a look of sudden realization, and his chest thumped, "Don't worry, my lord, my humble duty will be done." ”
In the aftermath of this turmoil, 79 people were imprisoned in Beijing alone. For a time, the dungeons of the Imperial Prison and the East Factory were overcrowded.
……
Since Lu Wenzhao came back from the dungeon of Dongchang, there was no smile on his face, and he frowned tightly all day long, as if he was full of worries.
"Congratulations, Lord Lu has been promoted to commander." Qin Rongshuai walked in with a smile, "Big brother, why do you keep a straight face all day long." ”
"Third brother." Lu Wenzhao was shocked in his heart, and only when he saw that he came clearly let out a sigh of relief, "Why don't you go to Nanzhen Fusi on an errand, why are you running to me?" ”
"Big brother, little brother came to bid you farewell this time."
"How?" Lu Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, a little displeased, "You still want to go to military training?" ”
"Yes, I have already agreed with Lord Xu Guangqi to assist him in training in Tongzhou." Qin Rongshuai nodded and said with a firm expression.
"What's so good about this training and fighting." Lu Wenzhao sighed, "Isn't it good to be in the capital?" ”
"The court is more dangerous than the battlefield, and I really don't want to get involved in it anymore." Qin Rongshuai smiled bitterly.
"Blame me!" Lu Wenzhao said regretfully, "You checked the smuggling well, I shouldn't have let you come back, alas! ”
"Big brother, where are you talking about this, no one expected things to come to this point." Qin Rongshuai hurriedly comforted.
"Third brother!" Lu Wenzhao was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "You said that those courtiers are saying every day that they are thinking about the Jiangshan Society and asking for the lives of the people of Limin, but they don't do anything but quarrel every day, is this how they ask for the lives of the people?" Please kill the emperor? ”
Qin Rongshuai didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say.
The Ming Dynasty was rotten, all rotten.
If it is rotten in the court, it will be rotten outside.
When there were a total of five scholars, he had to arrest two with his own hands, and he had to arrest four of the six scholars.
Look at these six people, which one is not a high authority, and which one is not sanctimonious.
It's only been a few months, and when everyone is in the court, their hearts are higher than the sky, and they keep saying that they will rectify the dynasty and make great efforts, but they have forgotten it all.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, Qin Rongshuai comforted Lu Wenzhao a few words, and then turned around and left.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he bumped into Shen Lian, who was worried, "Hey, second brother, why are you here?" ”
Shen Lian was suddenly called out, startled, and pulled Qin Rongshuai aside in a panic, and said in a low voice: "Why did you ask Yin Cheng to send Zhou Qiyuan's daughter to my house." ”
Qin Rongshuai smiled and asked, "Are his two daughters bad?" ”
"Good is good...... No, what's good or bad. Shen Lian's face was very embarrassed, "I mean, they are the imperial court criminals, hiding in my place, really." ”
"Do you think it's okay?" Qin Rongshuai smiled and patted Shen Lian's shoulder, "Second brother, don't worry, I have already asked people to delete the two of them from the roster, Zhou Qiyuan will not be able to get out of the edict, and no one will look for you." ”
Shen Lian's face was embarrassed in his heart, "This ...... This is not appropriate, I have to find someone to send them away and send them to Nanjing, they are still ......."
Qin Rongshuai immediately rolled his eyes, can you ™ not mention Nanjing.
You, Nanjing's flag, are dedicated to the people around you, no, I have to stay away from you.
