Chapter 391: Wolf Heart and Dog Lung

Xu Qi and Liu Rong's shock can be imagined.

They died without confession, and they suffered so much.

But who would have thought that the main owner was easily arrested by Jinyiwei.

And now, this person has become a prisoner, so ...... That's it.

Zhu Di didn't need to ask who was arrested, in fact, just looking at the reactions of Xu Qi and Yang Rong, he already knew that the old man in front of him, who was not good-looking, must be the real murderer behind the scenes.

His eyes were full of suspicion, and he obviously couldn't imagine that the person in front of him who was about to die could actually manipulate him behind the scenes, and even almost put him, the emperor, to death.

Zhu Di's eyes wandered, and he exclaimed, "Who?" ”

Although the old man looked embarrassed, his face was still calm, and he sighed: "Hey, I never thought that there would be today." ”

He then smiled again and said: "Although the general trend has gone, it can be seen that the time is also lucky, it is not that I can't wait, but the destiny is not in me." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Just an old Confucian, do you dare to speak extravagantly about the destiny of heaven?" ”

The old man was speechless.

Zhu Di said: "I will ask you again, who are you." ”

The old man looked at him left and right: "The old man just wants to know, why was the old man arrested?" ”

A person can fail, but a person as conceited as an old man must want to know why he was captured.

He said slowly: "Is it Xu Qi and Liu Rong?" ”

He glanced at Xu Qi and Liu Rong lightly.

The two gritted their teeth, but they were stunned and did not say anything.

He only looked at the faces of the two of them, and seemed to notice something, and said, "Aren't you those friends?" ”

The so-called friends he spoke of were the county and the Confucian who received him.

Soon, however, he vetoed it again.

Because these two people, when they saw that Jinyi Wei was killed, they desperately resisted, and now they are dead.

The old man had a suspicious look on his face, which he obviously couldn't understand.

Finally, he looked at Zhu Di and said: "If Your Majesty wants to know the truth, then please give me advice, otherwise, Your Majesty will not get a real answer." ”

Zhu Di was calm and idle at the moment, he smiled and looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said: "If you want to get you, you don't need to spend any effort at all." ”

The old man looked at Zhang Anshi: "This one, is the famous Zhang Anshi?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You also know me? ”

"Of course I do." The old man didn't show indignation, he looked at Zhang Anshi, and said, "It's just that I never thought that I was so young, I really have the style of Deng Tong." ”

Deng Tongnai was the favored minister of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, and he was very favored by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty at a young age......

Of course, in the Confucian discourse system, this is a traitor.

Zhang Anshi only smiled: "Do you still want to be quick to talk now?" ”

The old man shook his head and said: "It's just a heartfelt word, since you said that it was easy to take me, but the old man wanted to know how easy it was." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You are a cunning person like a fox, you think you are smart, but in fact, you are arrogant. ”

The old man didn't speak, looking patiently waiting for the following.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a surprised expression, if this old man is an old fox, then ...... Zhang Anshi was able to hold him so quickly.

This Zhang Qing, isn't he just a first-class little fox?

He also wanted to know how Zhang Anshi did it.

I saw Zhang Anshi continue: "And it is easiest to deal with arrogant people." ”

Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "I first ordered people to guard the ports and ferries everywhere, and then let people deploy defenses on official roads everywhere, do you really think I want to use this to capture you?" ”

The old man sighed, and he seemed to be beginning to wake up to something.

"But in fact, I borrowed these to make it more difficult for you to escape."

"Now that the officers and soldiers have blocked all the main roads, if you want to escape, it is impossible for you to do it alone, so you will inevitably need to find another way. But to go the other way means you need to use your connections. ”

The old man smiled and said, "You mean, the more people the old man uses, the more flaws there will be?" ”

Zhang Anshi raised his chin slightly and said, "Of course it is!" One thing, one person or two people can do it, and they can be tight-lipped, but it can involve seven or eight, or even ten or dozens of people, and the more people involved, the greater the flaws, and the higher the probability of news circulating. ”

The old man frowned lightly and said, "But as far as the old man knows, the old man only asked two people to leave this time." ”

Zhang Anshi laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm and ridicule.

The old man looked at him puzzled and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "That's why I said you were arrogant, which is why you were captured." ”

The old man looked at him in confusion.

Zhang Anshi said: "Come on, invite him in." ”

Zhang Anshi's inexplicable sentence is even more suspicious.

But at this moment, a trembling man came in and bowed his head: "See...... I've seen ......."

He had obviously never seen a big scene, so he was extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't even speak.

And they looked at him.

Zhang Anshi said to this person gently: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty won't blame you, you just get up." ”

Zhu Di also bowed.

The man stood up cautiously.

Zhang Anshi pointed at this person and said to the old man, "Do you know this person?" ”

The old man looked suspicious, but finally shook his head.

"Of course you don't know it, but you must not know that the person responsible for your escape is this person!"

The old man's color changed suddenly.

Zhang Anshi continued: "In the eyes of a scheming person like you, your plan is naturally seamless, and it can even be said to be perfect. But the problem is that you think that there are only a few people who are familiar with your plan, but you don't expect that the people who really recruit for you are not people at all in your eyes. ”

The person in front of him was the servant of the Confucian student. That Confucian scholar really worships you as a god, and when he learned that you were going to flee, he naturally tried his best to respond. He lives in seclusion in Meiling, and he is very familiar with it, and with his assistance, this matter is indeed twice the result with half the effort. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi showed a mocking look on his face, looked at him and continued: "But have you ever thought about where your strength comes from? You don't really think that your power comes from you, do you? ”

The old man looked at Zhang Anshi deadly, and at this time, he began to slowly understand something.

Zhang Anshi continued: "You think that you can turn the clouds and rain, count all the success of tricks on your own head, and you are superior to others. But I just forgot that the real pawns for you are precisely these slaves that you usually use as cattle and horses. So in your heart, there are two people who are familiar with the plan, but in fact, there are dozens of people who really arrange it in it. ”

"Do you still think that the Confucian scholar will personally arrange the boat, prepare the wine and food, and even support the boat for you himself? And personally escort you? ”

The old man opened his eyes slightly and sighed: "One move is missing, one move is one move, one move is ...... move."

Zhang Anshi looked at him contemptuously and said, "What a bad move!" It's just stupidity and arrogance, so why pretend you're ignorant? ”

"You regard these slaves as people who have been driven by you since birth, and think that they are nothing more than cattle and horses, and that they will naturally be loyal to you, but they are nothing more than your hands and feet on your body, thinking that they cannot think, and that if you give orders, someone will naturally do it, and this is the fundamental reason why you are dying today."

The old man said, "What can you say if you are unfaithful to a slave?" ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help laughing, because he felt that this person was shameless and funny, and said, "How much money did you give them?" What kind of food do they eat on a weekday? What treatment do you give them on a daily basis? But when I see that you are full of food and delicious food on weekdays, and that your wives and concubines are like clouds, and that you live in splendid houses, and that you are dressed in beautiful clothes, but you give people to eat scraps of cold soup and wear burlap clothes, and you are delusional, do they give you your life? ”

"If he refuses to give you such a life, but you are so open to be a slave and unfaithful, then what are you old dog? The imperial court gives you such a courtesy, Kaienke makes you an official, a high-ranking official, but you only fight back like a mad dog, such a virtue is really inferior to a dog! ”

"It's a dog, full of food and drink, and still able to wag its tail and beg for mercy. And you, the old dog, like Xu Qi and the others, are just unfamiliar dogs. If you are a slave and unfaithful, it is not your turn to reprimand the slave, and the truly ungrateful person is precisely yourself. ”

The old man closed his eyes, revealing a sad look.

Of course, his grief is obviously not Zhang Anshi's heart-piercing words that hit him, for people like the old man, they regard themselves as superior to others, different from others, and naturally they will not compare themselves with lowly slaves.

They have their own set of moral standards and value systems, how can they be ashamed just because of Zhang Anshi's insults?

What he grieved was obviously that he didn't expect that he would fall into such a fate due to negligence, and be humiliated by a cool official like Zhang Anshi who he looked down on.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and said calmly: "But...... The old man wants to ask, how did you find these slaves? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled smugly: "They came to the door by themselves." ”

The old man was still puzzled.

Zhang Anshi continued: "If you want to solve this problem, it is actually very simple, under normal circumstances, these slaves, instructed by their family master, even if they want to sue, they will definitely not succeed easily. After all, they have no knowledge, and they are coerced by the head of the family, so it is difficult for them to make up their minds. Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, then we must disseminate the government's directives as widely as possible overnight. ”

The old man was slightly shocked, and couldn't help but say, "Overnight...... How? ”

Zhang Anshi spit out three words: "Send eggs." ”

Old man: "......"

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "This egg delivery is a small favor on the surface, but in fact, it is ...... For the common people, it is very attractive. If you memorize the notice of the government, you can receive eggs! Probably in your eyes, it's just a joke. But for ordinary people, it is the most important thing. Therefore, one to ten, ten to hundred, it only takes overnight, it can be known to everyone. ”

This method of delivering eggs may be limited to a small area in later generations.

But in this era, it is almost a dimensionality reduction blow, after all, this is the first time that the world has been opened, and the craze it brings is unimaginable to those in high positions.

That kind of enthusiasm for receiving eggs will spread and spread wildly, and quickly spread to any corner of the entire Nanchang Prefecture.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Just this is enough for word of mouth to spread, and the content in the notice is also very simple, catchy, and only explains...... There is a wanted official from the same party, this person is a Confucian student, he is over forty years old, he is in a hurry, and he does not dare to walk on the avenue and other key information. In this way, you can ensure that the slaves who have fledged for you will notice the anomaly and report it to the authorities. ”

Old man: "......"

The old man obviously didn't expect that it would be so simple.

Just when the old man was still unacceptable, he saw Zhang Anshi say again: "Do you know what the people in the world hate the most?" ”

“……”

"Corrupt officials, but you are a fellow corrupt official! These slaves have always been deceived by you, and before they succumbed to slavery, they must have had a terrible experience, and no one has been the master for them, so when they hear about this, and they find that you are acting secretly, surely some of them will be willing to come to the judges. ”

The old man sneered, "Huh...... The old man has always been innocent, and the people he has met, even if they are like Xu Qi's generation, are mostly honest and self-controlled, with clean sleeves, and they are just demagoguing the foolish people......"

Zhang Anshi smiled, but looked at the slave who had been waiting by the side and said, "What's your name?" ”

The man stammered: "Villain Wang Fu, no, Zhou Fu." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Is it Wang Fu or Zhou Fu?" ”

This man said: "My surname is Zhou, but I became a servant later, and I changed the surname of the head of the family, and my surname is Wang." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "He said that he and the officials above and below the political envoy are all clean and honest, what do you think?" ”

"The little one doesn't dare to say anything, but ...... But ......" Zhou Fu replied very carefully, but he still said: "But the villain thinks that if it is when Emperor Taizu Gao is here, I am afraid that all these people will be killed." ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Di had a calm face, and he was a little surprised.

In fact, in Zhu Di's view, Emperor Taizu Gao's reputation among the people is not good, after all, he is too harsh, and he is imprisoned at every turn, implicating hundreds of thousands of people.

But I didn't expect that in the eyes of some people, there seems to be another side.

Zhang Anshi continued: "He said that you were unfaithful as a slave, but yes? ”

This Zhou Fu was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, but he also seemed to feel that he was a little sorry for his family master.

Zhang Anshi did not continue to delve into this, and instead said, "Why do you want to report their whereabouts? ”

"I ...... I ......" Zhou Fu trembled with fear, as if he was trying very hard to say: "The villain only thinks about ...... Just thinking about these corrupt officials, teach us that we can't build a railway......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Whether this railway succeeds or not, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"The villain heard that Zhili built the railway, and if the railway is repaired, there will be a good life."

Zhang Anshi said: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Villain...... The villain's fellow villager, he went to work in Zhili a few years ago...... It is said that you can eat three meals a day, and you can eat meat three days. ”

This Zhang An Shi and Zhou Fu asked and answered, but the old man was furious when he heard it, and he shouted: "Shameless." ”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said: "You listen to this person who only thinks about being able to eat three meals a day and one meal of meat three days, you think he is despicable and shameless, and he betrayed his family master just for this, right?" ”

The old man sighed sadly: "A villain is a villain, since ancient times, virgins do not serve their second husbands, loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, if they are bought by you with a lot of money, it is fine, I really never thought that such villains are only for such small profits........."

He looked distressed.

Zhang Anshi smiled even colder: "If the head of his family, if he is really as you say, he is kind and benevolent, and has benevolence and righteousness, even if he can eat three meals a day and a meal of meat in three days, why should he envy Zhili?" So in the end, the person who is truly shameless is precisely someone like you! He has fine clothes and fine food, but teaches others to eat bran vegetables. When the court levies such a little tax, you will scream, but people like Zhou Fu are just looking forward to eating better, so you will immediately scold people shamelessly,"

"A man of your kind speaks more beautifully than anyone else, but in fact he is just a mad dog who can only speak beautiful words and is full of morality. Now, at this point, you can rest assured that there are more shameless things waiting for you next. ”

The old man was furious, but he still wanted to say something, but Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Such a traitor, why do you still let him stand and talk?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the captain who escorted him woke up, and someone kicked the old man's heel hard, and the old man was in pain, and he knelt down with a click, and he screamed miserably.

Zhang Anshi turned a deaf ear to this miserable cry, but hugged his hand towards Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has not disgraced his mission, and he has already taken it within a time limit." ”

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, stared at the old man and said, "I asked one last time, who is you?" ”

The old man howled, although he was only kicked once, but it was like a pain in his heart, and he grinned for a long time before he said: "My surname is Wu." ”

Zhang Anshi continued to listen, but he also wanted to know the origin of this person.

But when Zhu Di heard it, he seemed to understand something all of a sudden.

He glanced at the old man deeply and said, "Jiangyou Wu Clan? ”

The old man closed his eyes, showed a sad look, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di said: "I never expected that the troublemaker would be such a person. ”

The old man said coldly: "The prince who is a prince, and the thief who is a loser!" So far, there is nothing to say, but the old man has never insulted the lintel, and now he is loyal to death, and the number of days is also. ”

Zhu Di's eyes showed a fierce light, with anger, and said sharply: "Da Ming is not thin to you, I never thought that I would be so wolf-hearted!" ”

The old man said: "If it is not thin, why did Taizu whip the world with torture." If it is not thin, and the new policy has been implemented, to teach the people of the world to such a point that life is worse than death? ”

He raised his head slightly, looked at Zhu Di fearlessly, and said in a stronger voice: "This world is not the world of your Zhu family." Your father is just a Huaiyou cloth, but he is just a self-respecting soldier who coerces the world and calls himself a lonely man! ”
