Chapter 184: Catching Thieves and Catching Stolen Goods
At night, a horse-drawn carriage turns from Suzaku Avenue into the alley on the right, which leads directly to the back door of the house of King Bingjian in the imperial history.
After the carriage stopped, Monk, who acted as the coachman, took off his hat and looked back to make sure that no one was following, so he cautiously jumped out of the carriage and stretched out his right hand to knock on the door in a rhythm of three long and one short.
Squeak......
The wooden door opened left and right, and a middle-aged man poked his head out and asked in a deep voice, "There is no tail in the back, right?"
Monk patted his chest and said, "Absolutely not, I was very careful along the way." β
The middle-aged man was the housekeeper of the palace, and after glancing at the fact that there was no second person in the alley, he opened the door completely and said, "Drive the car in, Lord Wang has been waiting for you for a long time." β
After the carriage entered the door, the butler ordered a dozen sturdy men to carry down the wooden box, and the four of them worked together to lift one of the boxes in the direction of the study.
It takes four people to carry a box, which shows its incredible weight.
On a small building not far away, Ye Yunyang and the others were condescending, watching the wooden box being sent into Wang Bingjian's study, Huo Hong waved his hand: "The action begins." β
More than a dozen black figures jumped down from the small building and flew directly into the courtyard of the palace, and they didn't make any sound when they landed, all of them were the protectors of the holy temple, with the level of martial artists in the abyss realm, and the protector elder led by them was the one who caught the killer last time.
In the study, Wang Bingjian smiled and watched Meng Ke open four boxes in turn, two large boxes contained silver ingots, the first small box contained gold ingots, and the last box was jewelry and jade.
Meng Ke smiled and said, "Lord Wang, the barbarian king thanks you for helping him leave the imperial capital, a little gift is not a tribute." There are a total of 60,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, plus more than 40,000 taels of jewelry, and the total value is 200,000 taels. β
Wang Bingjian picked up a silver ingot and weighed it, then tried the weight of the gold ingot, and finally grabbed a handful of jewelry, and said with a smile: "The credibility of the barbarian king will not be doubted by the official, 200,000 taels in exchange for his freedom, he made a lot of money in this transaction, if it wasn't for the official to mediate in front of the emperor, he would definitely still be a guest in the state guesthouse, not to mention the Winter Festival, and the Spring Festival may not be able to let him go." β
Meng Ke said with a smile: "That is, everything is the credit of Lord Wang, everyone knows your relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, and there is nothing you can't do if you come forward." In the future, please take care of our Nanban, and if the emperor makes any more moves, you must inform us in advance. β
"Don't worry, intelligence won't let you down. Wang Bingjian put the jewelry in his hand back into the box and asked, "How is the situation on the Nanban side, has the barbarian king stabilized his position?"
Meng Ke said proudly: "Everything is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Barbarian King, the emperor wants to mess up our Nanban is simply wishful thinking, as long as the Barbarian King is in the royal court, who dares to rebel?"
The corners of Wang Bingjian's mouth rose, and he believed half of Meng Ke's words at most, and said: "That's good, if the barbarian king needs help with anything in the future, please ask him to speak, and the official will definitely do his best." β
Meng Ke hurriedly saluted him and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, I will definitely bring your words to the Barbarian King as they are, since the number of gifts is correct, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave." β
Wang Bingjian waved his hand: "Okay, the official won't send you, it's hard for you to run." β
"It's all as it should be, and I will say goodbye below. β
Meng Ke was just about to turn around, when a cold voice came: "If you want to leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy, fence me off here, whoever dares to make a second kill." β
Under the order of the Dharma Protector Elder, the study was surrounded by water, Wang Bingjian and Meng Ke were frightened, and the two did not understand what was happening.
Boom......
The people in the study room were kicked open, and the Dharma Protector Elder raised his legs and stepped over the threshold, sneering and said, "Lord Wang, don't come unharmed." β
Wang Bingjian only felt that his calves and stomach were twitching, if he hadn't held the corner of the table with his hand, he would have been sitting on the ground, and the appearance of the person who came was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Meng Ke subconsciously wanted to run, but was grabbed by a Dharma protector and kicked him in the crook of his leg, and he knelt on the ground without any accident, temporarily losing the ability to resist.
The Dharma Protector Elder introduced himself and said: "I am from the Imperial Capital Temple, the Dharma Protector Elder, I came to arrest the traitor on the order of High Priest Huo Hong, Lord Wang has been in the officialdom for decades, and you know the rules, so it is better to cooperate honestly and don't do unnecessary resistance." β
Wang Bingjian's eyes widened: "You are a person from the Holy Temple?" Huo Hong is just a high priest, why should he care about the affairs of officialdom, this is not in accordance with the rules. β
Huo Hong's angry voice immediately came: "Up to now, Lord Wang is still so powerful, worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's son, but I want to tell you that it is the responsibility of every Han people to eradicate traitors." You are guilty of accepting bribes for your own selfish interests and sabotaging your majesty's plans?"
The voice fell, and Huo Hong and Ye Yunyang got up and walked into the study.
Wang Bingjian took a deep breath: "Huo Hong, do you think that this will bring down the official, it's so naΓ―ve, this is a frame-up, you have found a barbarian to frame me! The official doesn't know what's going on, and refuses to admit that the money is bribes, what can you do to me?"
"Wang Bingjian, the lord of this county knows you, you can still make up lies with all the human and material evidence, it seems that your face is not ordinarily thick. Liu Yuying and Dongfang Yixue walked into the study, looked at Wang Bingjian with cold eyes, and said: "From the moment the barbarian entered the city, he was under our strict surveillance, including at noon, he came to see you, I will tell the emperor the whole process of the matter, it is useless for you to quibble, or it is better to take the initiative to admit guilt, any quibbling will cause the emperor's disgust, what do you say?"
Wang Bingjian couldn't hold it anymore, his legs were weak and he sat on the ground, his eyes were full of ashes, Liu Yuying was telling the truth, no one could tolerate deception, and the emperor was the same.
Huo Hong instructed: "Take Wang Bingjian and the barbarians away, escort them to the palace and ask Your Majesty to decide, and bring the stolen silver, so that Your Majesty can get to know this minister who talks about loyalty and patriotism all day long." β
"Yes!"
The four Dharma protectors set up the two and took them away, and none of the family guards in the palace dared to step forward, so they could only watch the master being taken away.
Liu Yuying tugged at the corner of Ye Yunyang's clothes and said, "For only 200,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it will be difficult to put Wang Bing to death, and the emperor's grandfather will remember the love over the years and spare him." β
"Yes, this guy is a big corrupt official. Ye Yunyang glared and said, "And he sabotaged His Majesty's plan for the Southern Barbarians, and had a very serious impact on the national policy of the Han Dynasty, is such a big crime enough to cut off the head?"
Liu Yuying smiled bitterly and said: "If it was placed in the past few years, the imperial grandfather would definitely execute Wang Bingjian without thinking, but as he grew older, he changed his vigorous and resolute character when he was young, and his heart became softer and softer. Wang Bingjian has been his playmate since childhood, and if he begged for mercy in person, he would definitely be pardoned. β
Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and frowned, it seemed that he had thought things simple, if he couldn't completely defeat Wang Bingjian, he would wait for his revenge in the future.
We must find a way to avoid this kind of thing from happening, but as Liu Yuying said, the relationship between the emperor and the surnamed Wang is very iron, and it is difficult to make up my mind to kill him, what should I do?
Just when he was at a loss, Wu Junyan walked quickly to the bookshelf on the east wall, and said to himself while observing: "It should be here, ha, I found it." β
He reached out and grabbed a vase on the shelf, but when he couldn't pick it up, he began to spin slowly to the right, and the click sounded.
Under the incredulous gaze of everyone, the bookshelves on the wall opened left and right, revealing a passage more than four feet wide, and inside was a secret room.
Wu Junyan smiled and said proudly: "I'll just say, wherever there is such a whole wall of bookshelves, there must be a secret room in the back, are you interested in going in with me?"
Huo Hong took a torch from the guard beside him and threw it in, and the dark secret room was illuminated, and it was full of large and small boxes, many of which were open, shining with the light of gold, silver and jewelry.
Everyone was amazed, and the house was full of gold and silver treasures.
Ye Yunyang jumped up happily: "The surname Wang is really a big corrupt official, these are the evidence of his crime of accepting bribes, I estimate that there must be at least millions of taels, and your imperial grandfather will not spare him now!"
Liu Yuying nodded and said: "If it is not strict, it is not enough for the people to be angry, the imperial grandfather will definitely consider it carefully, and the surname Wang must not have good fruit to eat." β
Huo Hong ordered again: "There must be no mistake in moving all these things out and sending them into the palace and presenting them to Your Majesty as evidence." β
Wu Junyan walked up to Ye Yunyang and said, "How about it, buddy's trick, you have to thank me well." β
"It's amazing!" Ye Yunyang gave a thumbs up, but he changed his words: "How do you know that there is a secret room here, and honestly explain whether your family also has it, so you can easily find it out." β
Yin Zishi coaxed on the side: "Yes, the money in your secret room is not less than here, right?"
Wu Junyan became a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, jumped to his feet and said: "Of course not, I admit that my father's study also has a secret room, but it is used to store all kinds of confidential information, and there is not a penny in it! Brother Ye and Zishi, you know, my father has a clean sleeve and never accepts bribes. β
Ye Yunyang smiled evilly and said, "That's not necessarily. β
Seeing that Wu Junyan was about to go crazy, Dongfang Yixue said: "Don't joke here, Yun Yang, Zhu Ying, you and the high priest go to meet the emperor together, explain the whole matter clearly, and then ask Your Majesty to decide." β
Ye Yunyang nodded: "Okay, let's enter the palace together." β
