The thief's leg was almost cut into pieces by Zhu Di.

Flesh and blood flying.

Being cut by someone is completely different from being cut by life.

The thief fainted several times, and woke up several times wailing in pain.

After that, the whole person was already angry.

He didn't know what to say.

But Zhu Di has no interest in this.

For these people, perhaps their secret is their means of blackmail.

But when Zhu Di didn't have any interest in their secrets, and just wanted to make fun of their flesh and blood, the so-called secrets they knew in their stomachs were actually worthless.

"Give...... Give me a good time. "This man is weak and authentic.

Zhu Di carried the bloody knife and looked at the wriggling people on the ground in front of him with a smile, and the ground was full of broken flesh and blood.

Zhu Di looked at him indifferently for a while, and then said: "Come on, give him a good treatment, and in a few days, I will personally skin him." ”

When this man heard this, his eyes were full of despair, and he tried to bite his tongue, but unfortunately he did not even have the strength to bite his tongue at this time.

The incomparable majesty of the beginning is now completely gone, and now it is like a poor worm, humbled into the mud.

Several people dragged the man out.

Zhu Di continued to carry the knife and paced slowly for a few steps.

Several other thieves were prostrate on the ground one by one, their bodies shaking uncontrollably, but they didn't dare to come out.

Zhu Di didn't say a word, except for the sound of his walking footsteps, and the deathly silence in the air.

But this deathly silence is the most terrifying.

It's as if every moment of time passes, but it gives people a kind of torment.

It wasn't until after half a ring that Zhu Di said calmly and slowly: "Who answers?" ”

"Jiujiang Prefect ......"

The three thieves replied almost in unison.

This is a rush to answer the question.

Everyone seems to be afraid that they are one step slower.

Zhu Di continued: "Where are the others? ”

"Killed."

It's another uniform strong answer.

Zhu Di continued: "You killed? ”

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Kill the mouth!"

Zhang Anshi only stared blankly at the funny scene in front of him.

Zhu Di paced another step, his feet were full of blood, and every time he paced, he left a blood mark.

His face was as cold as an iceberg, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes.

"Who's at the order?"

"The people of Nanchang Mansion ......"

Zhu Di slammed his body, his footsteps stopped, and his gaze as sharp as an ice peak suddenly fell on the three of them again.

The three of them suddenly shivered involuntarily.

I just feel cold all over my body.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer.

The three of them immediately bowed their heads in extreme fear.

One of them, as if he could no longer stand this oppressive atmosphere, suddenly howled and kowtowed: "Spare me, spare me, I have an eighty old mother and a wife and children......

"Do you still have an old mother, wife and children?" Zhu Di looked at him and spit out a sentence gently, with a seemingly nonexistent smile on his lips, but like a poppy in the night.

The man paled: "......"

Zhu Di hooked his hand and headed towards Chen Daowen.

Chen Daowen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Take his parents, wife and children, don't let one go, first interrogate the whereabouts of his parents, wife and children from other thieves, no matter how much manpower and material resources are used, even if they chase them to the ends of the earth, they must be taken by me, if you can't take them, you don't have to come to see me." ”

Chen Daowen saluted and said, "Obey." ”

With that, he turned and hurried away.

When the thief heard this, he wailed in sorrow.

He also understood that the other party did not play cards according to common sense at all, and his prayer not only did not attract any sympathy, but ushered in it...... It's an even more tragic situation.

When I entered the city tonight, I was first met with the terrible sound of gunfire, and the people around me fell like wheat harvesting, and the people were still in terror, and they were taken down.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that his brother who joined the gang was cut alive by Zhu Di, and he was terrible, he was terrified to the extreme, even if he claimed that he was a good man, he shared the gold with a big scale, ate meat, drank wine in a big bowl, and there were not a few people who died at his hands on weekdays.

But now, all he had left was endless fear.

At this time, hearing Zhu Di's words again, his already collapsed psychological defense line was even more devastating.

He hurriedly said, "I...... I ......"

Zhu Di ignored him anymore, and only continued: "Who instructed you to wait? ”

"It's an experience for the political envoys."

Zhu Di sneered: "Just one experience, you can instruct you to wait?" ”

"He said that he was ordered by the political envoy Xu Qi."

"You are a bandit, how can you trust this political envoy?"

"Although we gather in Poyang Lake, if no one takes care of us, I am afraid that we will already die and have no place to be buried."

"Huh?" Zhu Di stared at the three bandit leaders.

One of the thieves said: "The water bandits in Poyang Lake have always had rules, as long as they don't pull the flag and rebel, they can survive, and the government will not suppress it, but as usual, they will give it to the people of the government...... Give some gifts. ”

Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "Is this the case?" ”

"Yes."

"In this way, is it that Xu Qi colluded with you?"

One of the thieves hurriedly said, "The sinner knows something. ”

"You say."

"Keep us bandits, it's useful ......"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "What's the use?" ”

"With the water bandits, every year the political envoy and the commander of the envoy can play, asking the imperial court to allocate money and grain to eliminate the water bandits. And the money and food that have been allocated are ...... I heard that there are not a few. Besides...... The prefectures and counties near Poyang Lake can also reduce a lot of taxes in the name of banditry, and because of this, the land in the nearby prefectures and counties is more valuable than other places......

"Also...... And also...... Every once in a while, you can kill some people in the name of suppression, and then report it, which is another war feat. So...... It's a triple win. Therefore, in the waters of Poyang Lake, the disobedient water thieves have long been wiped out, like sinners...... It depends on the snort of the officials, they teach us to do this, and we have to do it, if we don't do it, we will suffer in the future. ”

Zhu Di was speechless for a while.

Raise your own self-respect.

This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and it can even be said that it has already formed an industry.

The military attache who needs to brush up on his merits also knows the truth of fishing with all his might, if all the thieves are exterminated, what will happen in the coming year?

The states and counties that need to beg for money and food also point to the water thieves to ask for money and food.

Even if it is a big local household, as long as it is not such a robber who kills officials and robs large households, they are naturally happy with the existence of this water thief, after all, they can't grab their own heads, but almost all the various policies given by the court and the government to appease the people are enjoyed by them.

Zhu Di paused, and then asked: "How do you explain that experience?" ”

"They said, "There are people in the city...... I hope that after we enter the city, we will destroy it, and also said that we can do it with confidence, we enter the city at night, it is a surprise attack, and the defense of these people in the city is not heavy, and then someone will naturally open the city gate for us secretly, and the inside and outside should be together. After the deed is done, there will be the benefits of our brothers. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and then said, "Did he say who was the person he wanted to kill when he entered the city?" ”

"He only said that he was in Dehua County, ...... county"

Zhu Di evoked a sneer, and then said: "They have the ability, and they have already guessed that we are in Dehua County." ”

Zhang Anshi was speechless on the side, speaking of which, these people are really smart, but they seem to be a little crooked.

Zhu Di was obviously resentful, and threw away the knife in his hand, but waved his hand and said: "Take it down and review it carefully, and after an hour, the report will come up." ”

Zhu Di immediately sat down, and the three thieves were pushed down.

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di's inky face, and said cautiously beside him: "Your Majesty...... Minister......"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, I don't want to speak now." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Then why don't you take a break?" It's getting late. ”

Zhu Di's expression was a little irritated, and he thought for a while and said, "I still have no shortage of me, I still want to read a book, what about your Spring and Autumn Period, take it." ”

To a certain extent, at this time, a collection of stories called "Spring and Autumn" is indeed a good medicine to soothe the soul.

It wasn't until Jinyiwei sent a report that Zhu Di put down the book and read the report carefully, and then he raised his eyes coldly: "Now it seems...... That's it. What do you think? ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di handed over the report to Zhang Anshi, who was sitting on the side.

Zhang Anshi took the report, only looked at it for a while, but said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks ...... Not only the political envoy Xu Qi ......"

Zhu Di's eyes widened slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Anshi with satisfaction: "Go on." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "This matter involves not only water bandits, water bandits can be instructed by the political envoys, but Your Majesty should not forget that the water bandits from Poyang Lake to here, passing through various water villages and guards along the way, why can they be unimpeded?" Among them, I am afraid that the commander of the envoy has already passed the qi. ”

Zhu Di's eyes became colder and colder.

I think that when Emperor Taizu Gao was in the beginning, in order to prevent the authority of the place from being monopolized by one person.

Therefore, a system of three divisions was set up in a unique way, and these three divisions are the so-called political envoy division, the command envoy division, and the criminal envoy department.

These three divisions, one in charge of administration, one in charge of military affairs, and one in charge of criminal names, and the chief officials of the three divisions are all of the same rank and do not belong to each other.

In other words, Xu Qi, the political envoy of the Declared Political Envoy Division, even if he could instruct the water bandits, it was impossible to mobilize the military guards under the command of the Envoy Division.

But the water bandits ran for more than 200 miles, unimpeded along the way, between Jiujiang Mansion and Nanchang Mansion, they are both important towns, thoroughfares, and many military guards, how can they not be aware of it?

So Zhu Di said: "I also thought of this...... So do you mean that this political envoy and the commander of the envoy collude? ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if it colludes, it's fine." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Di's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhang Anshi with a heavy gaze.

Zhang Anshi said: "If it is collusion, it can only mean that the officials are guarding each other, and the officials guarding each other is nothing." But Your Majesty, don't forget, what they did was a big crime of stealing the family and destroying the clan, and they had to lose their heads. Such a thing...... How dare ordinary people? If it is just an ordinary cover-up or collusion, won't they be suspicious of each other? It doesn't make sense to want such a family life to work so closely with each other. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "I also thought of this, when I was in trouble, I wanted to say that King Ning and I rebelled together, King Ning is my brother, not to mention that he also has his share in cutting the domain, he still hesitates and refuses to cooperate easily, if it weren't for me to seize his military power and coerce him, I'm afraid he won't be willing to do so." ”

"I and King Ning and even my own brothers benefit each other, but we can't work together and don't doubt each other. What's more, this political envoy and the commander of the envoy? So what's your guess? ”

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Unless...... There is someone behind it...... Command them. ”

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhang Anshi's body suddenly, and the expression on his face became more and more cold: "Go on." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Such a major event cannot be coordinated by cooperation. This is like the so-called coalition army since ancient times, which is often easy to be broken, is it a truth, Your Majesty has heard of the Eighteenth Route Princes jointly fighting for Dong? ”

Zhu Di said: "You are what you say. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Because this involves different interests of each other, so there is no way to form a joint force, not to mention that the purpose of the imperial court to set up the three divisions is to let the three divisions check and balance each other...... Chen felt that their tacit cooperation was really incredible. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But if there is a man behind them who can control them and make them willingly serve, then this is ...... It probably makes sense. ”

Zhu Di frowned, and said, "Who can control this dignified political envoy and commander of Jiangxi?" These two people are both feudal officials, how can they be willing to be driven? ”

"This is also what the minister didn't understand." Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "If you can do this, I'm afraid it's just a Shangshu in the court, and it may not be possible." After all, Shangshu may be able to instruct the political envoys, but he may not be able to make the commanders of the halls bow their heads. ”

Zhu Di lowered his head slightly and thought about it before saying, "Could it be that because they are what handle they have, they will fall into the hands of this person?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "There is such a possibility, but the minister thinks that the handle is useful, but after all, this matter is too big, so ...... At the very least, it should be someone who both the commander and the political envoy trust. ”

"At the same time...... Trust ......," Zhu Di muttered.

Zhang Anshi said: "Right now...... Obviously, I don't have a clue yet, but the minister has already set it up. ”

Zhu Di raised his head abruptly and glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply: "What is arranged?" ”

Zhang Anshi's lips hooked up a smile, this smile was a little cunning, and then said: "Nanchang Mansion...... Over there...... Minister...... It's already arranged! ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously: "Really?" ”

After a pause, he said, "Let's hear it." ”

Zhang Anshi looked mysterious, lowered his voice and whispered, and then began to show a thief's appearance.

Zhu Di listened carefully, first stunned, and then his solemn face slowly melted.

…………

Nanchang Province.

At this time, in the residence of the political envoy.

This is a quiet little hall.

But there were more than a dozen people, sitting upright like stakes.

Everyone here wears a winged hat and a beast uniform.

Among them, the most prominent is Xu Qi, the political envoy wearing a peacock supplement.

Xu Qi didn't say anything, and almost all the people sitting on either side of him were like ashes at this time.

Occasionally, apart from a cough in between, almost no one was in any interest.

Everyone's heart is like a mess.

Finally, someone hurriedly came in from outside and said, "Gong Xu." ”

This call made everyone seem to wake up all of a sudden, only to see a group of people who were rumoring about it, and they all showed fear.

Even Xu Qi subconsciously trembled and looked shocked.

It wasn't until he knew that his curtain friend was coming, that he settled down a little and barely restrained his shaking legs.

raised his head, waited for this person to approach, and then said, "He...... What's the matter...... Jiujiang ...... Any news? ”

This scene friend glanced at Xu Qi, and then said: "There is no news yet......

Someone in the hall began to talk to each other.

"It stands to reason that there should be news at this time."

"Will it be ......?"

Almost all of them were uneasy.

Since last night, many people have been sitting here waiting for news.

These people are all terrified, and they don't know how many thoughts come to their hearts.

Xu Qi showed a look of disappointment, he tried to suppress his disappointment, and then looked at this scene and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The curtain friend said: "Qin Cha Xingyuan is there...... Liu Gong is making trouble again. ”

Hearing this Liu Gong, almost everyone showed disgust.

Originally, the original plan was that this Ministry of Rites was a firewall for them, and this public ...... Bad reputation, greed, just ...... If something happens, it can all be poured on him, and it is the most suitable shield they can think of.

But where did you think of it...... This guy has long since jumped ship, and now he has become a hot potato.

Although he is under house arrest temporarily, this guy is not at all at ease, as if he is afraid that he has not drawn a clear line with them, and he will toss a little thing in the line every once in a while.

At this time, Xu Qi was not interested in caring about Liu Guan at all, but said in disgust: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Liu Gong set fire to the palace, saying that he wanted to commit suicide to repay the emperor's kindness......"

"Is he dead?"

This scene friend smiled bitterly: "It's not dead, when the people in custody outside saw the fire, how dare they slack off, and hurriedly went to put out the fire." He pointed at everyone and scolded, saying that it was a chaotic minister and a thief, and everyone was punished for it, and he scolded again...... Scolding ......"

Xu Qi endured the nausea and said patiently: "What did you scold?" ”

Friends said: "It is said that he fell into the den of thieves, what kind of man and thief do not stand together, and if you want to teach the rebellious ministers and thieves, they will die without a place to be buried." Also said...... Even if he dies, he will become a powerful ghost, and the ghost will not go away, and all the rebellious ministers and thieves will not be able to live peacefully......"

Xu Qi slammed the case.

These words seemed to poke his heart and lungs at once, and Xu Qi said viciously: "This old puppet ......"

The update is delivered, and I ask for a monthly pass.
