***************************

Wanyan Zongwang fled in embarrassment, beyond the surprise of several people! First of all, the crown prince Zhao Huan and the ministers of the lord and faction! In addition to being stunned, they were also quite puzzled, the large amount of silver obtained due to the looting in the entire Bianjing City suddenly had no provenance, and Li Bangyan and his ilk were immediately extremely happy, which was equivalent to making another windfall.

Then there are some ministers of the main battle faction led by Li Gang, in addition to being shocked, they are also very happy, Xiao Ming's reputation is suddenly skyrocketing, and even ordinary people know this red-eyed god of war! It is rumored that he is the thunder god of heaven descending to earth! Quite a few people even worship him at home.

Cai You and other people who stayed behind immediately sent a message to Emperor Huizong who was touring south, claiming that the remaining ministers had turned the tide and caused the Jin soldiers to withdraw, and Bianliang City was unscathed! Emperor Hongfu Qitian, the Holy Lord of Great Virtue, respectfully asks His Majesty to return the ......!

After Xiao Ming waited for the Jin soldiers to withdraw, he entered the court to see Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, he knew that Zhao Huan would definitely be angry with him, for the sake of the big plan, and his own industry, he took the initiative to meet Zhao Huan to resign from various positions, in addition to Zhao Huan to seal his Qingyuan Army Festival Envoy, in addition to the official positions of Doctor Ziguanglu, even Huizong sealed his Liaodong Festival Envoy also resigned! Ask Zhishi to go home.

Zhao Huan didn't want him to resign, on the one hand, he comforted him with kind words, and on the other hand, he rewarded him greatly, and let the gold and silver treasures looted in Bianjing City this time be stored in Taiping Yinzhuang for future Bianjing city defense affairs.

Xiao Ming had a resolute attitude, resolutely resigned and went home, after Li Gang and other ministers persuaded hard, he agreed to retain the position of Ziguanglu doctor, and at the same time Zhao Huan had reported to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, waiting for Huizong to return to give Xiao Ming the title of Marquis, and at the same time asked Xiao Ming to accept the defense of the Beijing Division, and the official to the Captain of the Forbidden Army!

Xiao Ming had no choice but to accept it, there were two official positions in the Great Song Dynasty, which was an official position in the military, equivalent to the chief of staff, but the Privy Council Taiwei Mansion and the Forbidden Army Taiwei belonged to different systems, one was the Taiwei of the Jianjie Forbidden Army, this official has always been controlled by Gao Yu, and the other was the Taiwei Mansion of the Great Internal Forbidden Army, which was the head of the 120,000 forbidden army of the Beijing Garrison.

The Great Inner Forbidden Army is divided into three ya, that is, the front of the palace is in command of the envoy (palace front division), the guard pro-army horse army is in command of the envoy (guard horse army division) and the guard pro-army infantry army is in command of the envoy (guard infantry division).

Xiao Ming took over as the captain of the Great Internal Forbidden Army! It can be said that he now holds the 120,000 Beijing Division Garrison Forbidden Army, and he can be regarded as having great power. Gao Yu went home to recuperate a year ago as the chief inspector of the Jianjie Forbidden Army, Xiao Ming thought that he was the same official as him, but when he inquired, he knew that it was not like that.

Wanyan Zongwang's army withdrew, but before leaving, he still sent Deng Gui to send a letter to Zhao Huan, in which he said: "I don't want to show my speech to the court, and I don't want to talk about it, so that in the army, if I don't get my wish, I would like to send Deng Gui and others to serve as the deputy envoy, and some of the few gifts are in other places, and I would like to write and resign." ”

When Yan Zongwang retreated, the elite Qin Feng army of the Western Army led by the younger brother of the seed master Dao drove 50,000 people to Kaifeng, Tokyo.

This matter was also discussed in the court, and Li Gang suggested using the story of Lanyuan to "escort" the Jin army out of the country, and informed the generals that they would pursue the troops when they had the opportunity, and wait for the opportunity to wipe out all the Jin soldiers on the south bank of the Yellow River. Zhao Huan also agreed with Li Gang's superficial suggestion, so he ordered to send 100,000 troops to "escort" it tightly.

However, it was Wu Min, Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong who used various means to force the generals at all levels who escorted the Jin soldiers, and erected a big banner on the south bank of the Yellow River, strictly ordering the army not to bypass the big banner to drive the Jin army, otherwise they would all be executed.

After Yan Zongwang was able to retreat calmly, and after crossing the Yellow River, the Song army breathed a sigh of relief, this incident was finally over! But Xiao Ming is not finished! Li Gon and Xiang Chong died in battle, but they were ambushed by Jin soldiers in the process of Yao Pingzhong leading the army to rob the camp, which shows that Jin Bing must have known about the plan to rob the camp, who revealed the news?

Xiao Ming went to ask Yao Pingzhong, who were the people involved in the meeting above the court for the robbery camp, and he was able to know that such a secret military plan was actually participated in by many ministers, so it can be said that there was no secrecy, but all the people present were the princes and ministers, so who would report the news to Wanyan Zongwang?

Xue Bingchang's subordinates and the philistines launched their own unique means to start an investigation throughout Bianjing, and soon someone reported that someone saw Li Bangyan's nephew, Li Yue, a member of the Zhongshu She, who had entered and exited the embassy many times and had contact with the Jin envoy Deng Gui, and this person must be a major suspect.

Li Yue's appearance proves that this matter must have a lot to do with Li Bangyan, Xiao Ming immediately sent Wu Song to get someone, if this matter is changed to someone else, he may still be afraid of Li Yue's official status, and this person is the nephew of the powerful minister Li Bangyan, with this relationship, it is estimated that even Kaifeng Mansion will not dare to move him easily.

But this time, it was Xiao Ming who wanted to move him, he was so careful, Wu Song took the order and left, and it didn't take long for Li Yue to be lifted out of the bed of a prostitute ~ woman from the address provided by Yaxing's help.

Because of the importance of the matter at this time, Xiao Ming decided to interrogate him personally, Li Yue was trembling and terrified, but as soon as he saw Xiao Ming, he immediately recognized Xiao Ming's two pale red eyebrows, this person was the red-eyed god who frightened the Jin soldiers! The new lieutenant Xiao Ming, he recognized Xiao Ming, but he was not afraid.

Xiao Ming asked him: "But did you inform the Jin people of the news of the Song army's robbery of the camp?" ”

Li Yue's expression suddenly became arrogant, and he said, "What are you talking about, Lord Taiwei?" The contact with the golden envoy was at the behest of the crown prince's eunuch, could it be that my contact with the golden envoy was to give them a message? ”

"Yao Pingzhong's Xinfeng Army went to Mengyang to rob the camp, not many people know about this matter in the hall, Uncle Ling is one of the participants, didn't he ask you to send the news to the Jin envoy?"

Li Yue showed a mocking face: "Lord Taiwei, don't let anyone be innocent, my uncle is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he do such a thing of collaborating with the enemy?" This is a big deal! You framed me without evidence, and pointed the finger at my uncle, I guess you were instigated, right? ”

"Yo ho! You're quite a quibble, huh? ”

"I am an official of the imperial court, and you kidnapped me here for no reason, is there still a royal law? I want to meet with you with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I want to sue you...... I'm going to the official's house to sue you ......!" ”

Xiao Ming was a little hesitant, this guy has a very hard mouth, should he lynch him open his mouth? When he was thinking about it, the money behind him couldn't help it, stepped forward and punched Li Yue in the face, and scolded angrily: "Thief bird! My two elder brothers were killed by you, a traitor! You're ~ hard-mouthed? I'll beat you to death! ”

Li Yue spit out the teeth and blood in his mouth, and screamed like a pig: "You wait, set up a private court to harm the court officials, my uncle will definitely peel your skin and cramp, and break your body into thousands ......of pieces!" ”

Xiao Ming hurriedly stopped Qian Baguang, and Qian Baguang said angrily: "Lord, this guy must be the one who collaborates with the enemy, even if he is a traitor, it is better to let me kill him!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "You beat him to death, where can I find the evidence of his uncle Li Bangyan's betrayal?" I ask you, is that papier-mΓ’chΓ© sledgehammer from your original still there? ”

Qian Baguang said strangely: "Lord, are you confused? Old money now uses cannons! Don't bluff that thing."

Xiao Ming said: "That's a bit of a pity, this person is strong outside, he must be a person who is afraid of death, I want you to scare him with that big guy, since he is gone, then think of other ways, I will pry his mouth open today!" ”

At this time, his subordinates reported that the traitor Deng Gui was captured in Hejian Mansion and was being brought back overnight, Xiao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Li Yue to be strictly guarded, make the prison room brightly lit, find someone to interrogate him in turn, don't let him sleep, don't hurt him, he went to wait for that Deng Gui to arrive.

In the second half of the night, the traitor Deng Gui was brought up overnight, and Xiao Ming interrogated him personally, but whether this guy was coerced or coerced, in short, the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he was not killed, and finally Xiao Ming was also angry, and sent someone to whip him fiercely, after dozens of whips, Deng Gui was also single, he knew that he was going to die, so he simply died to the end.

It seems that this is not a solution, Xiao Ming suddenly felt frustrated, but he rolled his eyes and scolded: "Damn! Didn't you force Lao Tzu to use the ruthless tricks of the Sino-US Cooperation Institute? He immediately ordered a goat to be brought in, and a jar of honey was obtained, and he told him to apply the honey to the soles of Dungyu's feet, and let the goat lick it.

There was a ghost crying wolf-like laughter in the interrogation room, that Deng Gui could endure the pain, but he couldn't bear the itch, the laughter was almost out of breath, and it didn't take long for him to succumb, the bamboo tube poured beans, all of them were recruited, from Wanyan Zongwang let himself send gifts to Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others, to Li Bangyan sent Li Yue to return the gift, and finally curry favor with him, until he reported to him and sent him the information about the Song army's robbery of the camp.

Xiao Ming was very proud, he took a confession and went to see Li Yue again, but Li Yue's appearance surprised him, Li Yue sat there with feces and urine all over his body, and he was full of stench, as if he was about to collapse his spirit! Xiao Mingqi said: "What's going on? ”

Qian Baguang stepped forward and said: "I just asked someone to help me paste a sledgehammer, but it was not finished, but I gave it to him, and whoever thought about him was scared to pee!" He handed Xiao Ming a confession and said, "But he said everything!" ”

Xiao Ming took the confession and read it carefully, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It's okay now, last time we cleaned up his nephew, this time it's his nephew, tomorrow we will clean up Li Bangyan himself."

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming carried these two confessions, and went to see Zhao Huan, the prince of the prison state, together with Li Gang and others. Zhao Huan was furious and immediately dismissed Li Bangyan and handed him over to Kaifeng Prefecture for trial and heavy punishment.

This time Li Bangyan's downfall involved a lot of people and henchmen, Zhao Huan ordered the front guards of the palace to command Wang Zongwei to raid Li Bangyan's house in person, and found 500,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels of money! is indeed a super corrupt official, Xiao Ming heard this, pouted and said: "It's really stupid, why doesn't Taiping Yinzhuang exist, and you can still keep some money when the time comes!" ”

It didn't take long for this incident to happen, the business of Taiping Yinzhuang in Bianjing City was not good, and many high-ranking officials and nobles secretly deposited large sums of money one by one in Taiping Yinzhuang, it seems that Li Bangyan's lesson gave them a good hint, that is, they can't store too much cash in the family house, isn't it that a large vat of silver ingots buried by Li Bangyan in the back garden has been turned out.

Li Bangyan's arrest also involved Bai Shizhong, but Bai Shizhong had already resigned from the prime minister, and Zhao Huan did not pursue him extrajurlegally, but there were still people in the court who had received gifts from Yan Zongwang and repeatedly insisted on peace talks, and they couldn't help but start to panic, and they didn't know when they would fall into the same fate as Li Bangyan.

The arrogance of the main and first faction of the DPRK and China was gradually suppressed by this time, and Li Gang and other ministers of the main battle faction began to take the initiative again, reorganize the border defense, consolidate the combat strength of the army, and establish the cavalry troops of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

But at this time, the Great Song Emperor Song Huizong returned to Bianjing......
