When Hua Twelve heard Sun Chengzong's visit, his expression couldn't help but become playful.

Before taking the 'Poria Shou Wu Pill', he had been waiting for Sun Chengzong to enter Beijing, so that he could communicate with this Sun Ge elder before carrying out the next action.

But Sun Chengzong arrived in the capital half a month ago, and he has already joined the new cabinet as the first assistant, and then he has no intention of meeting him at all during this time, which is interesting.

Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong before, and returned to his hometown in the fifth year of the Apocalypse because he was dissatisfied with the eunuch party, and this time he became an official again, which was recommended by Hua 12 in front of Zhu Youxiao.

But Sun Chengzong didn't seem to have such a thing.

Not only Sun Chengzong, but also several other officials recommended by Hua Twelve, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yuan Keli and others are all like this.

Hua Twelve can understand the attitude of these people, because his reputation is not very good now, and some people call him the second Wei Zhongxian behind his back.

In this regard, Hua Twelve hehe, these people are all very blind, or they have a bad head, and they don't see Wei Zhongxian to be a dog for him.

In addition, Hua Twelve estimated that Sun Chengzong and several people did not want to see him, the main reason was because these people were all civil officials, and he had just reviewed the civil official system in Beijing, and there were no less than 100 people who copied their homes, and even more who killed their heads.

According to the news from Jinyiwei, the Jiangnan area has demonized him, saying that he is a demon from heaven and possessed by Jinyiwei Shen Lian, so he will suddenly be renamed Hua Twelve.

When Hua Twelve learned about this, he blinked his eyes, and said in his heart how did they know about drops.

At that time, his expression made Hokusai and Zhou Miaotong feel strange in their eyes, shouldn't they be angry, how could it be such an expression.

Hua Twelve immediately shouted: "Slander, they slander me....."

There are also rumors, saying that he is actually a faceless and skinless faceless heavenly demon, who peeled Shen Lian's human skin and wore it on his body, because the dead man's skin has no blood and no human appearance, so he has to use pen and ink to paint his eyes, ears, mouth and nose every day, and apply ruddy flesh color to go out to meet people.

When Hua Twelve heard this rumor, he immediately cried and laughed, isn't this just a painted skin, I didn't expect Pu Songling to say this when he was not born, and the prototype turned out to be him, which is very funny.

Of course, if the latter rumor is not cultured, it can't be made up, Jinyi Wei Cha is clear, and it is the civil official group in Jiangnan who spreads negative news about him.

Hua Twelve used a small notebook to write them down, and when they poured out their efforts, they would settle accounts with these people.

Originally, Sun Chengzong didn't come to Beijing to see Hua Twelve, and the latter was not in a hurry, he wanted to start with the rule of law, so he had to have enough evidence, first of all, the purge movement of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was underway, and the moths inside had to be cleaned up.

After the factory guard clears himself, he will start collecting what Hua Twelve wants.

Then after the evidence was sufficient, Hua Twelve was ready to go to the court and let Zhu Youxiao carry out the Strike Hard Campaign, before going to the book, even if this Sun Ge Lao didn't want to see him, he had to go to see the other party and communicate in advance.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong seemed to have changed his mind, or had something else in mind.

Therefore, Hua Twelve felt that Sun Ge Lao came to see him this time, the 'second Wei Zhongxian', which was very interesting.

Let people take Li Zicheng and the four of them to Beizhen Fusi to report on the entry of the company, and wait for Jinyiwei to work for a while to see their ability before talking about anything else.

After waiting for someone to go down, Hua Twelve asked Sun Ge Lao to come in.

Sun Chengzong may have an opinion about him, but Hua Twelve still respects this pillar of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, and did not sit and wait for the other party to come to see him, but took Lu Jianxing to stand in front of the flower hall to greet the other party.

Hua Twelve has seen the description of Sun Chengzong in later generations, and many records say that this old Sun Ge is strangely good-looking.

The word 'strange appearance' does not describe a person's good looks, but rather describes a person's ugliness, not an ordinary ugliness, but an ugly characteristic.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who is indeed not very good-looking, was described as 'strange in appearance'.

When Sun Chengzong was brought in by his subordinates, Hua Twelve finally saw what it meant to be 'strange in appearance'.

Sun Chengzong's appearance can't be said to be ugly, in the eyes of Hua Twelve, it can be regarded as the word 'tough', which seems to be a collection of He Jiaju, Cheng Kuian, Huang Guangliang, Li Shauji, part of the characteristics of the four villains in Hong Kong films, plus the roots are like needles, and they look like a rake of beards from a distance.

It was really unforgettable.

"Xia Guan Hua Twelve, I've seen Sun Ge Lao!"

Hua Twelve is about to make a move, Sun Chengzong don't look at the age of sixty, but his skills are vigorous, he quickly stepped forward and held Hua Twelve with both hands, and laughed:

"Hou Ye don't want to torture the old man, the old man was recommended by the Hou Ye in front of the Long Live Lord, re-enter the court as an official, and it is reasonable to come to the house to visit, but the old man has just taken over the cabinet, and there are too many official duties in custody, so he has not come to visit until today, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not blame the old man for not knowing the etiquette!"

Hua Twelve smiled and spit out two words: "Hypocrisy!" ”

"Gah..."

Originally, the two of them met and said clichés, this kind of thing is the norm of officialdom, it stands to reason that they are polite, the host will introduce the guests into the flower hall, serve fragrant tea, and talk about business tactfully, this is the normal routine.

Hua Twelve's sentence: "Hypocrisy!" Sun Chengzong couldn't be rectified, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

Okay, the old man said all the Henan dialect in a hurry.

"I said you were hypocritical!"

Hua Twelve said it again with a smile, and then said:

"Sun Ge Lao, as well as Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Keli, you are all Wenchen, I killed so many Wenchen, you just think I am a traitor, and I am not a person from the same way as you, so I didn't come to see me, do you dare to say that this is not the reason?"

Sun Chengzong's old face was flushed, and at first glance he looked like Guan Gong, and only after a while did he say: "Yes, it just looks like you little bastard is not pleasing to the eye!" ”

"Hey, I'll go, you old turtle grandson, I already knew your virtue, I just recommended a donkey to be the head of the cabinet, and I did it better than you, at least the donkey can only bark blindly, not scold, and you are not as hypocritical as you!"

"Who do you say is a donkey?"

"Wouldn't I be sorry for you when I talk about others!"

"Say it again!"

"You're a donkey!"

"I'll beat you little bastard!"

Sun Chengzong was angry, although he was a civil official, he was also skilled in bowing and horses, practiced martial arts, and was a Confucian general who could kill the enemy with a knife on his horse.

As a result, as soon as the arm was raised, there was an 'oops' sound and a glance at the cannon.

As soon as he covered his eyes, he was kicked in the stomach, his abdomen was painful, his feet were unstable, he took a few steps back, and sat on the ground.

"You old turn off the lights, you still want to beat me, you can't kick you to death, look at me... Big Footprint! ”

Hua Twelve was unforgiving, took a few steps forward while speaking, and jumped up to make a foot move that fell from the sky.

Lu Jianxing on the side was stunned at first, but he didn't expect that the Hou Ye and Shoufu of the dynasty would meet and scold directly, and then it turned from a quarrel to a fight in an instant.

Seeing that his own Hou Ye knocked the cabinet chief assistant to the ground, and was about to be aerated, Lu Jianxing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Hua Twelve, who jumped up, and did not let this move fall from the sky.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye..., calm down!"

Hua Twelve was held in the air by him, and his feet were still reaching Sun Chengzong's side, and after kicking for a long time, he couldn't reach it, and suddenly his body shook, his face was confused, and he turned his head to Lu Jianxing and asked:

"Old Lu, what are you holding me for? Am I sick again? ”

After speaking, he winked at Lu Jianxing.

Lu Jianxing was stunned at first, but when he saw his own marquis blinking, he immediately understood:

"Oh, Master Hou, your madness was committed again just now, if I don't pull you, Sun Ge Lao will let you be beaten to death!"

Hua Twelve said with an exaggerated expression: "Is it so serious?" Then you quickly let go of me, and let me see what happened to Sun Ge Lao! ”

Only then did Lu Jianxing let go of the hand holding Hua Twelve's waist and let his feet fall to the ground.

Hua Twelve hurriedly compensated Sun Chengzong: "Oh, you see this is a trouble, Sun Ge Lao, you may not know, I have not heard others scold me since I was a child, and I will go crazy when others scold me, the last time Wei Zhongxian swore in front of me, he almost made me kick into a eunuch!" ”

Sun Chengzong covered his eyes with one hand and his stomach with the other, and said angrily:

"Wei Zhongxian was originally a eunuch, you little bastard, who are you bluffing!"

"Ahta!"

A quarter of an hour later, in the flower garden of the Xiping Marquis Mansion, Hua Twelve sat on the main seat with an apologetic face, looking at Sun Chengzong, whose two eyes had turned into panda eyes, and Sun Chengzong, who was being treated with hot eggs by the maids in the mansion, apologized:

"Old Sun Ge, look at this matter, I said that I would go crazy when others scolded me, and you still swear in front of me, isn't this a crime against the wind!"

"Oh, even so, but after all, I hit you, it's all my fault, I'll be responsible for it to the end, when you leave, take two baskets of eggs back, apply slowly, morning and evening, two days, and the rest can make up for you!"

Sun Chengzong also understood at this time that this Jinyi Guard Commander was a foolish character, and he was too lazy to bother with him, so he grinned and let the maid put his eyes on him, and said straight to the point:

"Xipinghou, since you said that the old man is hypocritical, then the old man has something to say, yes, we didn't come to see you after we entered Beijing, we just thought you were a traitor, you tell me how many people you killed before, and how many families were ruined and wives separated, what is this not a traitor?"

"But since the old man entered Beijing, you have been living at home, and even the affairs of the factory guard have been handed over to Wei Zhongxian to deal with, the old man feels that he can't see through you, so he took the initiative to come to the door, wanting to observe your personality, see what you are planning, what do you want to do?"

A smile flashed on Hua Twelve's face, and if he didn't pretend to be good, he waved his hand and said:

"Elder Sun Ge, don't say anything else, let me ask you, shouldn't they kill those officials I killed? The money I copied from their home, it's not fake, in the Taizu period, there is an indispensable one to peel the skin and fill the grass, compared to the means of Emperor Taizu, I still spared them! ”

Sun Chengzong looked disdainful: "You are also worthy of being compared with Taizu?" “

After finishing speaking, he said with a solemn expression: "Aren't those officials killed by you wronged?" Didn't you frame me? ”

Hua Twelve's face was speechless, and you didn't understand it, so it was easy to make a judgment.

He pointed in the direction of the palace: "Framed? You go and look at the emperor's treasury, go and see the treasury of the household department, real money and silver worth tens of millions of taels and countless industries, where can I find so much money to frame them? ”

When Hua Twelve said this, he suddenly changed his words:

"If it is not impossible to say that they were framed, but they said that I embezzled tens of millions of taels of Wei Zhongxian, I will make a plan, saying that Wei Zhongxian's money made them greedy, and took this opportunity to raid their house, but these money are indeed greedy by them, how can they be wronged!"

Sun Chengzong stood up suddenly: "But why did the old man hear it differently from what you said?" ”

"That's you old and confused, you will believe it when people say it!"

Sun Chengzong's eyes flickered: "Do you dare to let the Three Law Divisions review this case?" ”

"Why don't you dare, Jinyiwei supervises hundreds of officials, when I didn't take office, Jinyiwei recorded these officials, corruption and bribery one by one, but at that time, officials and officials protected each other, corruption has formed a trend, this kind of case is not reported, if you don't believe it, you can personally supervise the three law divisions to investigate, see if what I said is wrong!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Hua Twelve for a long time, as if he wanted to see if he was weak-hearted, and seeing that he was indifferent, he said loudly:

"Okay, since Xiping Hou agrees to this time, then the old man will go back and bring someone to review the case, if those people are really not wronged, the old man follows the example of the ancient Lian Po, and comes to the door to ask for the guilt, if there is a wronged person, Hou Ye, you will wash your neck and wait to kill your head!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeves, turned his head and left: "Farewell!" ”

Hua Twelve looked at Sun Chengzong's back, with a smile on his face, confused is a little confused, first, he is older, and secondly, he is from the civil official group, and he has been brainwashed for many years, but this style is what he appreciates, if the Ming Dynasty is this kind of official, then the world will be peaceful.

In the afternoon, Zhu Youxiao sent someone to deliver the decree and invite Hua Twelve to enter the palace.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao looked hopeful, and asked with some excitement: "I heard that you beat Sun Ge Lao?" ”

Sun Chengzong was the emperor's teacher, that is, Zhu Youxiao's teacher, Emperor Xizong has been a little stunned by this unsmiling teacher since he was a child, today I heard that he was beaten by Hua Twelve, I don't know why there is still a little excitement in my heart, so I specially called this Mr. Hua to come to ask what is going on.

Hua Twelve told what had happened, and after Zhu Youzhen listened, his face became even more excited.

Pulling Hua Twelve, he carefully asked how he punched, how much strength he used, and what kind of footwork the big footprints were, which made Hua Twelve a little crying and laughing at this childlike emperor.

Zhu Youxiao also realized that he was a little out of shape under the strange gaze of Hua Twelve, and hurriedly sat upright, and said seriously:

"These days, there is a royal history playing, saying that the people have a lot of rhetoric about the corruption of hundreds of officials before, and they speculate randomly, so it is good to let the three law divisions investigate, just to correct the hearing, and return your Qingbai!"

Hua Twelve nodded and smiled: "Understand, in fact, I have long expected a counterattack, and I have been ready to wait for them. ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a gentleman is afraid that he will have a reputation for revenge!" ”

Hua Twelve arched his hand and said: "The emperor is merciful and generous, if you really want to let you kill corrupt officials like Taizu and Chengzu, you may not be able to bear it, but if you want to help Daming, there are still people to do this kind of thing, then let the ministers bear this infamy!" ”

Zhu Youxiao listened to Hua Twelve's words, and seemed to see the bloody wind in the Ming Dynasty Hall in front of him.

On the morning of the second day, Hua Twelve still did not go to the court, Sun Chengzong wrote to the emperor, asking the three law divisions to review the corruption case of the courtiers, and Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed.

On the same day, the officials of the three legal divisions entered the Jinyiwei case library and inquired about a large number of case files.

Wei Zhongxian, Zhao Jingzhong, Yin Cheng, Pei Lun and others all came to Xiping Hou's Mansion to ask for a meeting, but they were rejected by Hua 1211, and only let Lu Jianxing pass the word, his feet are crooked, and he is not afraid of his shoes, let them check!

A few people looked confused, did this say the opposite?

Hua Twelve is not afraid of being wronged, and when the legal department investigates the case, it is also necessary to have factory guards present to supervise each other, and there is no fear that the other party will reverse black and white fabricated evidence.

Another month passed, and on this day, Sun Chengzong wrote a letter to ask for sin, and after waiting for the next dynasty, he was shirtless and carrying a cane on his back, and really walked all the way from the palace to the Xiping Marquis Mansion.

Hua Twelve, who had already gotten the news, hurriedly went out to greet Sun Chengzong with a cane, put on his clothes, and welcomed him into the mansion.

With today's scene of Sun Ge Lao pleading guilty, who dares to say that he is a traitor? With the results of the review of the three law divisions, who would dare to say that he killed innocents indiscriminately!

Next, Sun Chengzong and Hua Twelve interacted more, and the latter also said his strike hard plan.

Sun Ge Lao was shocked and dignified at first, but after careful consideration, he decided to fully support Hua Twelve's actions.

A strike-hard campaign that spread throughout the Ming Dynasty was vigorously launched.
