"Speaking of which, in the days you have been in prison, I can be regarded as seeing the faces of those people in the court......"

Zhu Ming said with a bitter smile, what the civil and military officials have done these days has also made him understand a lot of truths, he always wanted to take back power as smoothly as possible, and he didn't want to see too much blood.

But later I found out that this person is the same, the more you get used to them, the more you talk and reason with them, the more presumptuous they are.

Not only will they not be grateful, but they will kick their noses and face more and more, eager to ride on your neck and.

"Your Majesty, if you're tired of looking at those faces,"

"Just change to a batch."

Luo Congee said calmly.

"Your Majesty, don't forget, three-legged toads are not easy to find, but there are indeed many two-legged people, and there is never a shortage of people in this world......"

Luo Congee looked at the long street in front of him, where the sky was getting late, and it was still full of traffic and crowds.

"There are more people in the world who want to be officials, and after killing one batch, another group will come up immediately, and the minister may not have other skills, but he is extremely good at killing."

Luo Congee retracted his gaze, lowered his head and slowly stroked his fingers over the cold body of the embroidered spring knife, the blade was cold, but it was far less cold than the cold between the young man's eyebrows.

"I'm still a little indecisive after all."

Zhu Ming laughed at himself after hearing this.

"I won't stop this time......"

Zhu Ming turned around and looked at the young man in a python robe who was full of anger, and said solemnly.

"Backwards,"

"All those who disobey Your Majesty above the court will die."

"Come to think of it, when people die, all the conspiracies and tricks have disappeared, and there will be a blue sky and a white sun above the smoky court."

Luo Congee looked directly at Zhu Ming's eyes and replied with the same seriousness.

"Well, you can do it your way."

"I don't want to see anything like that happen."

Zhu Ming nodded and said,

Then he walked to the carriage.

"Minister, send your majesty!"

Luo Congee fell to his knees and watched the carriage slowly drive away.

"Hoo ......"

Zhu Ming lifted the curtain and glanced back, the look in the young man's eyes was as clear and sincere as ever, as if he had never changed or held a grudge.

"Lord Luo, are you going back home now?"

Ding Xiu and his party, who had been waiting on the side early, came over after seeing Zhu Ming walking away.

"Well, let's go home first, and call everyone together."

"There are still some things that need to be arranged, and Your Majesty has already said that I will use my own methods, and I have to let Your Majesty see results tomorrow."

Luo Congee said, turned over and got on his horse and rushed to the house.

……

At the end of the E-hour,

Luo Fu,

hall

There is the aroma of wine and meat wafting out, this is a wedding banquet to congratulate Luo Congee on his release from prison, but there are only a few people in the hall, in fact, it is a family banquet, Ding Xiu, Wang Ruling, Qinglong, Bai Xiaosheng and other Luo Congee henchmen in the brocade guard sat in columns, all with solemn expressions.

"Ding Xiu, where is it?"

"Xiaguan, here."

"How's the Jinyiwei going on lately?"

Luo Congee sat on the main seat and asked first, after all, on the day he was imprisoned, Jinyiwei died a lot, and it can also play a deterrent role.

"Back to Lord Luo, after the death of those people, now all the officials in the Jinyi Guard are very safe, compared to before, they are much more obedient, under the explanation of the adults before, even if the fan of the East Factory provoked to the door, no one provoked right and wrong, but they were also holding back a lot of strength behind their backs, all waiting for Lord Luo to come out, so as to raise their eyebrows!"

Ding Xiu, who was in charge of the military discipline of the Jinyi Guard, said in detail.

"Well, in that case, it's the human heart that can be used."

Luo Congee also nodded secretly when he heard this, and he had to say that after the previous group of people who didn't know the current affairs were cleared, the remaining people, as long as they didn't ask them to cut the emperor, they would not be able to frown.

"How is the health center expanding now?"

Luo Congee continued to ask, at least the batches of silver obtained from the raid, to put it mildly, are enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a long time, but they have been delayed for various reasons.

"Lord Hui, there has been no change in the Jinyi Guards in the capital in the past few days when you have been imprisoned, but in the land of the state and county, a lot of people have been recruited, most of them are outlaws in some rivers and lakes, as long as there is money, it is not difficult to let them sell their lives."

"Now that your Excellency has been released from prison, Your Majesty's meaning is clear, I think this progress can be accelerated a lot, and you can also absorb the children of the good family to join, as long as Your Majesty does not open your mouth to block it in this process, and with the continuous financial resources, it will not take long to gather a number of guards and horses to win the previous dynasty."

"In addition, the group of orphans who were placed outside Shangjing City before have been secretly incorporated into Beizhen Funei, and there are about 300 people."

"Now, the war in northern Xinjiang is endless, and the lower officials have specially sent people to secretly go to the states and counties in the north, thinking that it will not take long to collect a large number of orphans."

Ding Xiu continued to reply, saying in great detail, Luo Congee handed over to him has always been taken to heart and never left behind, after all, his strength has fallen a lot, so he can only make up for it with hard work.

"Well, when the time comes, you can change the inside of Jinyiwei......"

Luo Congee nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Qinglong and asked, "How are the preparations for the Jinyi Guard's Great Array?" ”

"Lord Hui, the lower officials have already taught the formation, and now the more than 3,000 elite cavalry have also stopped other tasks, and they are all practicing and grinding in the formation,"

"Xiaguan has also improved a little according to their body and knife skills, which can be regarded as tailor-made for Jinyi Wei, at most in a few months, the people under will be able to control it skillfully, if three hundred people form a formation, they can block the ordinary three products, if five hundred people form a formation, they can work together to strangle!"

Qinglong's hearing was also reported.

"Well, when the formation is completed, I will also pull it out to see the blood, and first level the Qingcheng faction that has been circulating for three hundred years."

Luo Congee nodded and motioned for Qinglong to return to his seat, and then called Bai Xiaosheng out and asked: "You have taken over the Jinyiwei Espionage Department for a few days, things are doing very well, this official is very satisfied, let's talk about the future development direction and layout of the Espionage Department." ”

"In addition, let's analyze the situation in the city, and let you listen to it, and the matter of the Great Dynasty Meeting, to be more detailed, this official has already rested in Dongchang Zhao Prison, and he has to move his muscles."

"No!"

"Xia Guan has currently placed people in the major restaurants, brothels, tea stalls and Goolan tile houses in Shangjing, and such places are mixed to hide their identities, and such places are also the most circulating, and the information and intelligence collected will be summarized into the Espionage Department every day.

"The important information will be reported immediately, and the remaining information, even if it is not needed at the time, will be archived and stored by a special person for later reference."

"In addition, every official in Shangjing City who is above the fifth grade has a saucer to watch, and any wind and grass will definitely not escape the eyes and ears of my spy department."

"As for those saucer eyeliner outside Shangjing, Xiaguan is gradually placing them in the northern Xinjiang, and the remaining saucers and eyeliner of the adult's father have also been ordered to be used."

"However, it will take some time to infiltrate the northern Xinjiang, and I hope that the adults will understand......"

Bai Xiaosheng arched his hand.

"Well, from the rivers and lakes to the court,"

"It's pretty fast."

Luo Congee smiled and said, Bai Xiaosheng's skills and abilities are still quite convincing, but there is another point, the first piece of Jinyiwei spy report was originally laid is extremely solid, and many clues can be seen from the previous map of Beijing, and he can be regarded as riding the wind.

"Okay, let's talk about the Great Pilgrimage."

After learning about the recent situation of various departments in Jinyiwei, Luo Congee waved his hand.

"Back to Lord Luo, this court meeting ......"

Bai Xiaosheng took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then analyzed it carefully.

"In this way, it was Lord Jiang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who took the lead, and the other ministers accompanied him......"

"But then again, although the old horseman did not deal with the official earlier, he also held his breath and rarely confronted him face to face, taking advantage of the efforts of the past few days in prison, the old horseman has become more and more rampant."

After listening to Bai Xiaosheng's previous words, Luo Congee's mind flowed, and he also had some thoughts about it, and after putting down the wine glass, he asked with a smile: "You said just now that there are saucer eyeliner in the homes of major officials in the capital, and now this official wants to know what Lord Jiang is doing in the mansion now, you may come here?" ”

"In a hurry, the manpower arrangement in each mansion is not yet complete, if it is other adults, it may be a little difficult, but Lord Jiang, who takes the lead, Xia Guan can be regarded as a waste of effort, and a lot of eyeliner and saucers have been installed in his mansion, which is not difficult to do."

"Please wait a moment,"

Bai Xiaosheng got up and added a cup of hot tea to Luo Congee.

"The next official will come when he goes."

Speaking of which,

Bai Xiaosheng put down the teapot and walked out of the door without ink, whispered to a few plate leaders, and then returned to the seat in the hall and waited quietly.

"Lord Luo, please look!"

After a short time, the two saucers took a piece of paper and handed it to Bai Xiaosheng, who handed the paper in his hand to Luo Congee with great confidence.

"The layout of the Jiang Mansion?"

Luo Congee opened the paper and looked at it, it was a picture of the layout of Jiang's mansion, obviously the person who painted it was also meticulous, and the portrayal of the layout of the mansion was extremely detailed, which was the basic skill of stealing the military layout of the detailed work, and a red dot marking Jiang Ziming was in the attic of the mansion, which was extremely clear and clear.

"Well, it's really good!"

Luo Congee took a sip of tea after reading the drawings,

It's also a little hot.

"Lord Luo, it's not over yet."

"I'm waiting."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled when he heard this, and after a while, another plate entered and handed a drawing to Luo Congee.

"Lord Jiang is so Yaxing!"

Luo Congee was stunned as soon as he opened the drawing, only to see an old man in a wide cardigan in the picture, leaning against the window drinking, with a sad face, and a concubine who was twenty-eight years old beside him, dressed in tulle, was pinching his shoulders.

Looking closely, there was a plate of fennel beans on the table beside him, and a few plates of side dishes with wine, and looking at the appearance of the dish, he could actually recognize the name of the dish, and as for the plate of fennel beans, he could see it clearly, and there were about forty-eight of them.

"Huh, this official still looks down on you......"

Luo Congee said that he handed over the painting paper to everyone to read, and he picked up the teacup to suppress the shock, and the tea entered his throat, which was still warm, and after swallowing the tea, he couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Back to Lord Luo."

"If Master Jiang hadn't continued to move the chopsticks, the number of fennel beans would have been matched."

Bai Xiaosheng pointed to the plate of fennel beans on the drawing and said proudly.

"Good!"

"What a warm tea to explore Jiang Mansion!"

Luo Congee didn't care about Bai Xiaosheng's temperament when he heard this, but couldn't stop praising him, a person with ability, he didn't mind him being proud, such a person was more meticulous in doing things.

"That's right,"

"What is the name of this attic where Master Jiang is staying now?"

Luo Congee suddenly remembered what the ghost had sent the gods to do.

"Returning to Lord Luo, this building is called the Ascending Tower, there are seven floors up and down, about eight zhang high, Lord Jiang likes to climb high above this attic and look far away whenever something doesn't go well, enjoy dancing and drinking, and send the heart to be sad."

Bai Xiaosheng continued to report.

"Oh?"

"Is it eight feet tall?"

Luo Congee said to himself secretly when he heard the voice.

"The official originally thought about how to give Master Jiang a reason to arrange, but now it seems that it will save trouble......

Luo Congee thought and said with a smile.

"My lord, do you mean to do it in the house?"

Bai Xiaosheng asked when he heard this.

"According to Xia Guan's guess, Lord Luo means that when Lord Jiang goes downstairs to the court tomorrow, he is not allowed to take the corridor or take a ladder......

Wang Ruling, who was on the side, recalled Luo Congee's words, and was the first to react and explained with a smile.

"Falling from the building?"

Bai Xiaosheng came back to his senses and whispered,

At the same time, I also secretly thought about the feasibility of this matter.

"Lord Jiang, he is old and frail, and he is even more dizzy after a hangover, and after a night of hard work, his legs and feet must be weak, and it is reasonable to think that he will fall from upstairs......"

Luo porridge is quiet.

"This matter will be left to Wang Tongzhi."

"After all, Wang Tongzhi is still very good at forging scenes and other errands."

"In addition, in recent days, you Bai Xiaosheng have focused on the wind direction in the wells of Shangjing City...... The storm is about to rise, and I am afraid that there will be changes in the city. ”

Luo Congee carefully explained the arrangements behind while drinking tea, and talked about it late at night, before everyone led their respective tasks to retreat.

"Let's take the life of this Zhengerpin Zuodu Yushi first, and use it as an appetizer for tomorrow's morning......"

Luo Congee looked in the direction of the imperial city and muttered.

……

Following

basilica

As yesterday, the court is still crowded and bustling, after all, they don't know the silver sent by Cao Zhengchun, and the matter of grain and grass in the Northern Expedition has not yet been resolved, and the court will naturally continue for a day.

Before Zhu Ming arrived, hundreds of courtiers in the palace discussed the specific regulations, in short, it can be said in one sentence that the court can pay out the silver, no matter where it is saved, it is okay, but if you want to take the silver out of your pocket, it is absolutely not possible.

"Your Majesty, drive to ......"

When the eunuch shouted this sentence, the court was quiet for a moment, and after saluting, the officials of Honglu Temple came out to sing harmony, and then the eunuch continued to ask.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

"The minister has his own music!"

An official from the Ministry of Industry took the lead.

"Your Majesty, according to your will last night, the construction of the palace that is now used for summer outside the city has been suspended, and Mo Youyue has 300,000 taels of silver left.

"There is still a vacancy of 900,000 taels of silver......

"According to the minister's wishes, it is better to add some autumn taxes, or to stop the official road that is being repaired, or to stop the embankment in the south, so as to meet the needs of the Northern Expedition first......"

At the suggestion of the Tobe Shangshu,

Walk out of a master book and report loudly.

"Hmph, you can't do anything by yourself, so you stop the project of my engineering department, it's really a good calculation!"

As soon as the words ended, the people in the Ministry of Works were not happy.

"Lord Qian, you don't make sense to say this......"

For a while, the various ministries above the court argued, no one was willing to take responsibility, no one was willing to suffer, and there was no difference between the noisy ministers and the vegetable market, and the spit was flying, completely ignoring Zhu Ming's increasingly gloomy complexion.

"Interesting, interesting, you adults are fighting, do you want to roll up your sleeves and fight?"

"I'm happy to watch a good show for free."

Luo Congee walked from outside the main hall and clapped his hands.

"You...... How? ”

Someone listened to the familiar voice and looked for prestige, and after seeing the person standing outside the main hall clearly, he was stunned on the spot.

"The matter of Guozijian has been clarified, and this official is naturally going to be released from prison."

"Why, aren't you adults happy to see this official?"

Luo Congee jokingly said,

As he spoke, he walked towards the main hall,

"Lord Luo, you are laughing......"

Fang was born to ask the minister smiled curtly and didn't dare to ask again, where Luo Congee passed, those low-grade courtiers outside the hall were all cowering and hiding aside, and the originally crowded hall outside the hall instantly branched out a wide road.

"It's too late."

"Please forgive your majesty!"

Luo Congee crossed the threshold and walked into the main hall, without the slightest hesitation, bowed to the iron-faced man on the dragon chair and knelt on the ground, without looking at the frightened and angry civil and military officials during the whole process.

"Aiqing, flat!"

Zhu Ming leaned over and saw that the young man who was kneeling on the ground and full of anger formed a very sharp contrast with those courtiers who were cowering at this time, or at least they were indeed extremely perfunctory to themselves.

"You've just been released from prison, and your body hasn't recovered yet, so it's understandable to be late."

Zhu Ming said with relief.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood."

"The minister got up quite early today, but when he passed by Lord Jiang's mansion, he suddenly heard a bad news, so he went to investigate, and he was late......

Luo Congee got up and explained.

"What's the bad news?"

Zhu Ming asked subconsciously.

At the same time, everyone's eyes also fell on Luo Congee, someone noticed Jiang Ziming's absence earlier, but they didn't care too much, after all, after the matter of the Great Dynasty Meeting, whether it was successful or not, he should be preparing for his resignation, and it was reasonable that he did not come to the Early Dynasty.

"Master Jiang fell down the stairs and died......"

"It's ugly to die......"

Luo porridge is quiet.

"Hiss......"

When the words fell, the ministers looked at each other, and their hearts were already shocked, but no one dared to interrupt the young man's voice.

"When the minister entered the mansion, he happened to meet the subordinates inside who were collecting the corpse, and when the corpse was turned around,"

"It's already unrecognizable, the facial features are sunken, it's an eight-zhang tall building, and when it falls on its back, it is a big hole in the head, and the brain is mixed with blood and water and flows all over the ground......"

Luo Congee spoke unhurriedly, and the fluttering words fell into everyone's ears, but they set off a huge wave.

Jiang Ziming on the front foot asked for an order to kill him,

As soon as he was released from prison,

Jiang Ziming fell to his death?

Even fools don't believe it.

In the past, he still talked about some rules when he killed people, and at least arranged a decent reason to come out.

Now killing a second-grade humerus minister is actually his mother, making up a nonsense that a three-year-old child doesn't believe, isn't this bullying?

"Tut-tut......"

"It's a pity ......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will never see the face of Lord Jiang again, oh no, that kind face......

Luo Congee looked at the ministers and said very regretfully.

"You ......"

The imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate couldn't help but point to Luo Congee and said.

"Oh?"

"Is this lord's hand referring to the official?"

Luo porridge plays with taste.

"Alas......"

When the man heard the voice, he went home,

In the end, I still don't dare to say anything,

"I've seen some photo books before."

"I know a little bit about fortune-telling and physiognomy skills,"

"This official looks carefully today, this lord, your face is dull, your forehead is black, you can't think of a day of blood, and when you go out tomorrow, Mo You's right hand will be broken......"

"I don't know if it's accurate......"

Luo Congee muttered to himself.

"However, don't worry so much, if your right hand continues, then the official is calculating a hexagram for this adult for free, perhaps, like Lord Jiang, it is also possible to fall down the building and die......"

Luo Congee stared at the man and smiled.

"Old man......"

The imperial history who just pointed at Luo porridge listened, his heart was already cold, and he was covered with goosebumps, maybe others were just threatening, but he was really fucking good!

The man's thoughts were clear, and his eyes didn't dare to look directly at Luo Congee, but instead stared at his right hand, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.

"Aiqing, don't be joking."

"Let's get down to business."

Zhu Ming looked at the ministers who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and his heart was inexplicably a little happy, and when Luo Congee finished speaking, he pulled the topic back to the right path.

did not mention the words of persecution that were almost threatening like Fang Cai Luo Congee, and the meaning of protection in them was overflowing.

"Your Majesty Xie reminds."

"Let's continue to talk about the Northern Expedition to grain and grass."

Luo Congee turned around and looked at Zhu Ming respectfully and said,

The perverse temperament is also docile again.

"Hmm!"

"It just so happens that Commander Luo has also arrived."

"I'll tell you about it, the grain and grass for the Northern Expedition have been prepared, and as for where the money came from, Commander Luo has to do with this party."

"Take Xie Wenxue, the servant of the household department, and bring him to the palace."

Zhu Ming didn't pay attention to the doubtful ministers and waved his hand directly, Luo Congee has already used Jiang Ziming's life to cast a peach, and he can't let him chill his heart, and he has to repay him.

"This is Xie Shilang?"

"What does he have to do with the Northern Expedition?"

Looking at the ragged and unkempt man,

Someone wondered.

"Your Excellency, you don't know, the silver that is vacant in this grain and grass is made up by Xie Shilang."

Cao Zhengchun, who escorted Xie Wenxue, explained.

"Heh~"

"Wait, when I was still crying poor in front of me, Xie Shilang of this household, Lord Xie has already spent 5.6 million taels of silver to buy the life of Commander Luo."

"I don't know if you're really poor, or if you're like this Xie Shilang, you've used all your money where you shouldn't be using it."

Zhu Ming looked at the ministers and sneered.

The voice fell,

The ministers did not dare to answer.

"This person is a heinous crime, and he should be beheaded according to the law!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?"

Seeing this, Zhu Ming continued to ask in a deep voice.

"It's up to Your Majesty!"

When the ministers heard the voice, they could only pinch their noses and admit it. After all, Jiang Ziming, who is the second grade, is dead, and a remnant of the Xie family, the household servant, has already looked down on it...... numb......

"So, pull it down, cut it!"

Zhu Ming looked at Xie Wenxue, who was in a daze, and waved his sleeves impatiently.

"Commander Luo, let's go and have a look."

"After all, this man wants to buy your life."

"Minister, there is nothing to do."

……

"This despicable and shameless scumbag, you are treacherous and shameless, you are not a fucking man!"

Until he was pulled out of the temple,

Xie Wenxue came to his senses at this time,

recalled the scene of the happy conversation in the Dongchang Yamen that day, and anger came from the heart, and all the grievances at this moment were concentrated on Cao Zhengchun beside him.

"Xie Shilang, you are not wrong."

"Our family is not a man in the first place, our family is a eunuch."

Cao Zhengchun is not angry,

On the contrary, he replied as a matter of course.

"As for the treachery in your mouth, our family does not agree with this, for eunuchs like our family, only one person needs to be loyal to His Majesty."

"As for the shame, it's even more nonsense, eunuchs like our family are supposed to be slaves, and what shame is needed."

"Your Majesty is decent, our family has a light on their faces."

Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.

"You despicable gelding, you will be punished!"

Xie Wenwen looked at Cao Zhengchun with fierce eyes,

He cursed in his mouth.

"Our family is originally a person with no children and grandchildren, what retribution are we afraid of?"

Cao Zhengchun asked rhetorically with an unchanged expression.

"You, you, you, you don't have to die!"

Xie Wenxue was trembling by the sincere Cao Zhengchun's mouth, full of anger, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only curse meaninglessly.

"Well, it's possible for Xie Shilang to say this, after all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but today you have to go ahead of our family, and I bother you to go down there to explore the way for our family......"

"Whew, whew, whew......"

Xie Wenxue was speechless with anger,

I had to gasp for air.

"Master Xie, you can go along with it first."

"I heard that when people are emotionally fluctuating, this blood will rush to the brain, and when they will cut off their heads, it will inevitably spurt more blood......

"Soiled the ground,"

"It's also hard for these eunuchs in our family to disturb ......"

"You ......"

Xie Wenwen was even more angry when he heard this.

"If you don't listen to persuasion, forget it."

"Our family, please ask Lord Xie to go on the road first."

Cao Zhengchun bowed his hand.

……

Outside the noon gate,

"Commander Luo, do you need to do it yourself?"

Cao Zhengchun asked aloud according to Zhu Ming's previous instructions.

"Yes,"

Luo Congee smiled and nodded.

"However, put away this gate knife, there are still many people who want to gate in the back, and this head is not bad."

Luo Congee looked in the direction of Chaotang and said softly.

"For now,"

"Let's run this knife in the officer's hand first."

Speaking of which,

Luo Congee pulled out the embroidered spring knife at his waist.

The cold blade illuminated Xie Wenxue's frightened face,

"Bang ......"

The sound of human heads falling to the ground is very dull,

Similarly, as Cao Zhengchun said, ordinary people will have blood pressure soar when they are extremely angry, and the blood that comes out of the broken neck is more than a zhang, which is better than the two brothers who also fell under their knives before.

"Your Majesty,"

"The sinner has been punished!"

When the young man wearing a python robe and an embroidered spring knife appeared on the main hall again, the ministers were already silent, and the entire hall was as quiet as a dry mound.

"Tick, tick, tick......"

The blood continued to drip from the embroidered spring knife, and the ministers were in a trance, as if they heard the mournful wail of the princes of the court where the embroidered spring knife fell, the trembling sound of the legs trembling like sieving chaff where the brocade robe passed, and the dull sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone slab like the spring thunder.

It also seems to understand,

The line in the book of poetry,

What is it, Tianjie has stepped on the bones of the minister......

(End of chapter)
