The sky was bright.

The lights in the main hall of Weiyang Palace are brilliant, but there is no fireworks, and the night pearls from the South China Sea are all over the hall.

If Wang Qilin was here, he would definitely be able to think of the low-wattage light bulb he saw in his dream.

There are small light bulbs everywhere in the main hall, each worth enough for a squire to eat for a lifetime.

The Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military forces, and the prime minister and the captain each brought a team of men and horses, lined up on the left and right, looking at each other from afar.

Emperor Taijiao, who was wearing a dragon robe, looked at his courtiers leisurely, and suddenly said: "On the twenty-fifth day of February today, wait for the time to trigger the Qianjun crossbow." A red heart in an arrow, the earth has no land. ”

"The fence is completely fenced around and up, revealing the lord of the Taibai Nunnery. Last year, because of the loss of his teacher, he inevitably complained of grievances. ”

"Joy in suffering, bitterness in happiness. Drink and retreat from Ciming's old mother, and change the grave if you move the murderer. ”

"The water of the South Stream is as green as a snail, and the deep dwelling is red like rain. ”

After reading this poem leisurely, Emperor Taijia said with a smile: "Where is the general of Zhengbei?"

A rugged and strong man with a beard stepped out of the ranks, saluted and said aloud: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general Wu Po is here." ”

Emperor Taijia asked, "Did you hear the poem I just said clearly?"

Wu Poyu said shyly: "I heard it clearly, but please forgive your majesty, the last general will go into battle to cut people, this reading eulogy is not a strong point." ”

Someone reminded him in the queue: "The deep dwelling is red like rain!"

Wu Poyu looked up at the emperor in astonishment.

"Yes, yesterday on February 25th, the deep residence fell like rain," Emperor Taijia said with a smile: "I called you out of the queue not to test your poetry, but I heard that the general got married yesterday and married a new concubine, so I want to see if the general can still get up early today to enter the court to attend the meeting, but I didn't expect the general to come in time, didn't you have a good rest last night?"

Wu Poyu sneered: "The last general knows that there is a big court meeting today, so he rested quite early, and slept for three hours, so this will be full of energy." ”

In the ranks of the generals, there was another man dressed in clothes and laughed in a low voice: "When we made trouble in your house last night, you were not late for the court meeting today, and you slept for three hours. ”

Emperor Taijia asked curiously, "What is the standard of life in the army?"

The general who spoke walked out, saluted and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the war situation in the army is urgent, and there may be an enemy invasion at any time, so I pay attention to the word fast in my life in the army, eat quickly, go to the thatched house quickly, and undress ......quickly."

There was not a single person in the hall whose brains were slow to turn, and laughter erupted when they heard this.

Suddenly, the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Wu Poyu was embarrassed and shouted: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the general of the army slandered the last general at the court meeting, and asked Your Majesty to uphold justice for the last general." ”

General Wen said with a smile: "General Zhengbei is the slanderer, how can Ben slander you?"

Wu Poyu had nothing to say.

The laughter resumed, and Emperor Taika's smile was especially pleasant.

He pressed his hand and said: "Two generals, please go back to the column, let's officially start today's court meeting, do you Aiqing have something important to start?"

Prime Minister Lang Zhihuan, the head of civil officials, walked up steadily and said: "Your Majesty, it has not rained in Shu County for three months. From time to time, there are demons who make trouble, and they declare that the court is not virtuous among the people, and the heavens punish them. ”

Emperor Taijia frowned and said, "To put it bluntly, they say that I have no virtue, right?"

Lang Zhihuan held the wat board and bowed, silent.

Emperor Taijia said unhappily: "There has been no rain in Shu County for three months, and I am uneasy, and I don't understand the reason after thinking about it. Since I ascended the throne and inherited the ancestral business, I think that I have neither been reckless in military force, nor have I been poor in luxury, nor have I indulged in lewdness, wine and lust, and you Aiqing speak boldly, am I not virtuous?"

The hundred officials got up together, and their voices were loud: "Your Majesty Shengming, long live, long live!"

Emperor Taijia also stood up, he waved his hand and said, "Long live long live, long live, long live, hmph, I am not old enough to be afraid of death, so I will not say this kind of words in the future." ”

"Last winter, there was heavy snow in the north, snow disasters in many counties, and there was even more snow in this northeastern state. At the beginning of spring this year, there was a severe drought in many places, and Shu County, which has always had abundant rain, did not see a drop of water for three consecutive months. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have the audacity to say, what's going on? Is it true that I am not virtuous? Is the sky punishing me with the people?"

The emperor told them to be bold, and if they were really bold, it was estimated that tomorrow the bitter gall of the whole family would be spit out.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked out steadily, and said in a deep voice: "The weather is abnormal, there must be demons! Your Majesty is naturally healthy in the world, and the matter of governing the Haiqing River Banquet in Kyushu has absolutely nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”

"But listening to what the Prime Minister said, there are demons and demons in the people of Shu County to confuse the public, so according to Weichen's opinion, it should be these demons who are in trouble, and the people of Shu County are not happy!"

Immediately, several officials came out: "What Lord Shangshu said is extremely true. ”

"Please order Your Majesty to order the Lord of Shu County to strictly investigate the folk demons, and once they are caught, they will be severely punished!"

"Your Majesty, the common people are fortunate, as you have said, the trouble of this Shu County is not in the imperial court, but in the people!"

Emperor Taijia said displeasedly: "The wisdom of the people has not been opened, where is there no Diao Min?" But the people are the foundation of the Jiangshan Society, and the Diao people are also the people, and they are also the Jiangshan Sheji, if the heavens love the people, they should not punish the people of the whole territory for their mistakes. ”

"If I send an edict to Shu County to strictly investigate the people, I am afraid that the entire Shu County will be jumped, and when the time comes, the people who will be arrested, governed, and imprisoned will really be the demons who instigate the common people? I'm afraid that most of them are innocent people, right?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Taijia shook his head: "I can't do this, if I really do this, I will be a virtuous king." ”

Lang Zhihuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"Your Majesty. The officials said in unison.

Emperor Taijia waved his hand: "If I am really a saint, why should the heavens punish the people under my rule?"

Wu Poyu said: "Your Majesty, could it be that the governance of this Shu County is different, and someone wants to cause chaos in Shu County, so the sky is angry with the people of the whole county?"

The official department Shangshu said firmly: "It is impossible, after the Shu County Shou Kong Sheng is not a saint, this official knows his personality and discipline best, he may be a noble person, proud of his talents, but loyal to the court, love the people like a son." ”

Some people also nodded their heads: "Yes, you don't know, since Master Kong went to Shu County, all the income from Yulu has been exchanged for good breeds and cattle and horses to help poor families!"

Wu Poyu said: "Shu County is not only governed by county guards, it is also the fief of King Zhen." ”

"Bold!" Emperor Taijia Long Yan was furious, "What does General Zhengbei mean by this?"

Wu Poyu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, the last general has no other meaning, the last general just wants to help the saint share his worries and solve problems!"

Emperor Taijia said coldly: "King Zhen is my younger brother, you know Kong Shengfei's character, can I not understand my brother's character?"

The group officials said they didn't dare.

Emperor Taijia was angry and said: "This matter is put on hold for the time being, the prime minister and other dynasties will come to see me, the matter of Shu County is a big deal, well, the Qinglong King is also here, maybe there is a drought in this Shu County." ”

The Green Dragon King in the shadow of the dragon pillar came out and saluted: "The order of the minister." ”

Emperor Taijia saw him come out and said with a smile: "The Qinglong King rarely shows his true face, you came out so actively today, do you have something to start?"

The Qinglong King said: "Your Majesty is clever, Weichen does have one thing that needs to be decided by His Majesty. ”

Say. ”

"The Dawei Pai gang in Chang'an City is involved in a serious case, and now the evidence is conclusive, the crime is extremely heinous, and the heavenly prison wants to arrest its related personnel. ”

As soon as he heard this, a tall red-faced old man among the hundred officials was shocked, and he raised his head and looked at him angrily.

"Dawei Pai Gang," Emperor Taijia stretched out his hand and knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair and asked, "What crime did they commit?"

The Blue Dragon King said: "Gang up with the Heavenly Sacrifice to abduct and sell children and women from all over the world. ”

The red-faced old man came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Dawei Pai Gang has some relationship with Wechen, and when it comes to this gang, Wechen should not intervene, but Wechen is familiar with the inside story of this gang, so he can't help but want to say a few words." ”

Emperor Taijia looked at him with interest and said, "Xu Shilang said. ”

The red-faced old man was none other than Xu Nan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he said impassionedly: "The Dawei Platoon Gang followed Taizu when he started his army, and he was meritorious from the dragon, and he was praised by Taizu several times. ”

But this platoon gang was not proud of its achievements, they came after Taizu settled the capital, and transported grain, vegetables and other materials to the capital from the waterway. Whatever the capital needs, they will deliver, and in the past 50 years, there has never been a major mistake. ”

"In this case, the Dawei Pai Gang has its back to the capital and uses the waterway to make money, so why should it violate the national law?"

Wu Poyu asked curiously, "Yes, Lord Xu, why did they violate the law of the country?"

Xu Mao was stunned and said, "What does General Zhengbei mean? Weichen didn't say that they violated the law of the country. ”

Wu Poyu said apologetically: "I see, the last general can't help it." Because just now the Qinglong King said that there was already conclusive evidence in the Heavenly Prison, and Lord Xu, you said that you knew this Dawei Pai Gang very well, and the last general thought that you were going to come out to expose the illegal actions of this Dawei Pai Gang. ”

Xu Mao said angrily: "The Dawei Pai Gang abides by the law, is loyal to the imperial court, and is loyal to Your Majesty, how can they have any illegal acts?"

Emperor Taijia said: "But the Qinglong King said that the Heavenly Supervisor has already grasped the evidence of their illegal acts, so in this case, the Heavenly Supervisor made a mistake in the investigation of the case, and they made a mistake?"

Xu Mao hurriedly said: "Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen didn't mean this, but said-Is there any misunderstanding in this matter?"

Zhou Jun, another attendant from the Ministry of Rites, came out and said, "Is there a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be clear if you let the Heavenly Supervisor carefully check it?"

A scholar came out and said: "Lord Zhou's words are wrong, the Dawei Pai Gang has meritorious service in keeping the peace of the people in Chang'an Mansion, and it is inappropriate to rashly investigate and deal with such loyal and honest meritorious people, right?"

Another superintendent said hesitantly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, what Lord Xu just said is extremely true, this powerful pai gang can easily make money by sitting on the world's sewers, how can they violate the law of the country for a little money?"

"Maybe it's not for money?" Zhou Jun guessed.

Xu Mao turned his head to glare at him, raising his fist to hammer him.

The Dawei Pai Gang is a big gang and involves many interest groups, but there are more Pai Gangs in the world, and it is a fat gap to supply Chang'an City, so there are many people who want to meddle in this business.

Noise began to rise above the main hall.

Emperor Taijia listened with interest for a while, then felt annoyed and began to frown.

Although the hundred officials were arguing, everyone was secretly watching the emperor, and everyone immediately shut up as soon as he frowned.

This is the power of the emperor.

Emperor Taijia thought for a while and said: "Gonggong Wan, you like gossip the most, there is a wind and grass in Chang'an City, chickens and dogs jumping that can't hide from your ears and eyes, so I want to hear your opinion on this matter." ”

Hearing this, Xu Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

This wave is stable.

The Huangquan Prison controlled by Wan Gonggong and the Qinglong King's Tingtian Prison are the most incompatible, and all the Huangquan Supervisors who listen to the Heavenly Prison's approval will oppose it, and all the Huangquan Prison who listen to the Heavenly Prison's opposition will agree, so as long as Wan Gong speaks publicly, the Tingtian Prison will definitely not be able to investigate the Dawei Pai Gang.

At this time, Gonggong Wan came out from behind the scenes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in a proper manner: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the slave starts in the market, and he does inquire about some gossip on weekdays, but that is just for his own fun, and the news of the slave cannot be used to be elegant, let alone used to influence the government." ”

Xu Mao frowned slightly, this is not very the end, is it?

Emperor Taijia was also strange and said, "Then you have nothing to say?"

Gonggong Wan took a deep breath and said, "The slave has something to say." ”

Xu Mao smiled, come on, Huangquan Supervisor listened to the Heavenly Supervisor, watched the excitement, and pricked up his ears to see the excitement.

Wan Gonggong continued: "As the slave said before, the slave was born in the market and knows the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people in the market best. The people are not afraid of lack of clothing and food, they are not afraid of being sick and without treatment, and what they are most afraid of is the destruction of their families. ”

"Especially the child, Your Majesty, the slave is a person without a descendant, but there is a nephew at home, and the nephew of the slave is not very smart, the reason is that when he was a child, he was abducted by someone with sweat medicine. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know how devastated my family was at that time, my younger brother ran around and spent money and kowtowed in order to find the child, and finally found him back, and in the process of looking for him, half of our family has been scattered!"

Therefore, the slave believes that the matter involving the abduction of children and women is a major matter for the people and cannot be tolerated, and if the Heavenly Prison has already obtained evidence of the crime of the Dawei Pai Gang, they should be allowed to investigate. ”

He said earnestly: "Moreover, the evil is all gone!"

Xu Mao was stunned.

He thought there was a bustle to watch, but when he came to see it, he found out that the bustle was the destruction of his family at home......

Emperor Taijia nodded and said, "Gonggong Wan's words have indeed reached the hearts of the people, and the Qinglong King listens to the order!"

The Green Dragon King stepped forward and saluted: "Weichen takes the order!"

Emperor Taijia said: "The abduction and trafficking of women, girls and children is a major crime in all dynasties. However, this case involves our great heroes, so we must be careful and rigorous, and we must not wronged good people!"

The Green Dragon King said, "The minister's decree." ”

He retreated into the shadow of the dragon pillar, and looked at Wan Gonggong's gaze full of confusion.

The eyes of the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty looking at Wan Gonggong were full of confusion.

This is not the style of the Huangquan Prison!

Xu Mao's red face turned white, he took a few breaths hard, and suddenly fell to Zhou Jun next to him.

Zhou Jun hurriedly got out of the way......

It's a bit of a mess in the hall.

The reception temple was also a bit chaotic, and the guards rushed to the gate in groups, and someone shouted, 'Catch an assassin'.

Wang Qilin's window was facing the back garden, and he couldn't see the gate, so he went to Xu's room instead.

After pushing the door open, he changed it to Shen Yi's room, Shen Yi was sitting on a futon and participating in meditation, his eyes were closed, his face was solemn, he was really a handsome monk.

Xu Dafeng rushed over in a hurry, snorting melon seeds gloating and laughing: "Where did the stupid assassin dare to come to the Hospitality Temple to assassinate?"

Wang Qilin grabbed half a handful of melon seeds and said, "What kind of calf are you talking about? Wasn't I assassinated in this place? ”

Xu Da said: "Now that the protection has been strengthened, it is indeed solid. ”

Downstairs, Xiao Er hurriedly walked by, and an official stopped him and asked, "Little Second Brother, where did the assassin come from?"

Xiao Er said: "Back to my lord, the villain is not clear, it seems to have been pulled out of the ground." ”

Wang Qilin and Xu Da, who were eating melon seeds, were stunned, and the two of them looked at each other:

"It can't be Ah Huang, right?"

"What is Huang doing here? No, it can't be him. ”

Having said that, Wang Qilin turned over and jumped down from the window, and went straight to the gate of the Hospitality Temple.

There was a fierce battle at the gate of the Hospitality Temple, and a team of guards lined up to attack, complete with swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

Someone next to him shouted: "Bold assassin, don't you want to be captured?"

A familiar voice came into Wang Qilin's ears: "This son is not an assassin, I have told you, I am here to find Lord Wang Qilin!

Another mellow and beautiful voice sounded: "This person is here to assassinate Lord Wang Qilin, you can't let him run away, catch him, and kill him if he resists arrest!"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Qilin ran faster, and before he arrived, he spoke: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is a friend of this official!"

The guards did not let their guard down because of his presence, and another group of guards arrived, and they surrounded Huang Junzi in both directions.

Huang Junzi was furious, incompetent and furious.

Wang Qilin talked with the chief of the guard, and the chief guard was very unhappy: "Lord Wang, you should know what kind of place the Hospitality Temple is, if you want to enter here, you have to walk through the door in a dignified manner, you must register when you register, and you must report when you report it, what is the matter of drilling from the ground with the art of retreat?"

After the previous assassination incident, a forbidden law array was set up in the hospitality temple, such as enchantments and some Dao methods could not be used here.

So Huang Junzi was also unlucky, his Five Elements Escape Technique encountered a natural enemy this time, and when he got to the wall, he was discovered, and he was almost slaughtered.

Wang Qilin apologized to the guards, took Huang Junzi's arm and said: "My subordinate is a countryman, from a small place, and it is the first time to come to Chang'an Mansion, so I made a big mistake, and I ask for your understanding." ”

Seeing that he had a good attitude and a low posture in admitting his mistakes, the chief of the guard did not embarrass them anymore, and waved his hand to lead the troops to withdraw.

Wang Qilin looked around, there was something wrong with the mellow and beautiful voice before, this person deliberately misinterpreted Huang Junzi's words, if the guards were misled by his words, then it is estimated that he would now collect Huang Junzi's body.

Huang Junzi said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that the first battle between Ben Gongzi and your Han Dynasty forbidden army was unfolded without hostility, hum, and Ben Gongzi has no hostility towards them at this time, otherwise it ......"

"Otherwise you'd have died. Wang Qilin said angrily, "What are you doing here in broad daylight?"

Huang Junzi argued: "But at least Ben Gongzi did not lose, let alone surrender, but fought with them until the last moment, if you didn't come quickly, Ben Gongzi would have fought with them for three hundred rounds." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Then do you know that on the way I came, I saw that the Divine Arm Battalion of the Forbidden Army was mobilized, and it didn't take three rounds for them to stick three hundred arrows in you!"

The Divine Arm Battalion was the sharpshooter in the New Han Forbidden Army, and the bows and crossbows used were called the Divine Arm Bow, so they were called the Divine Arm Battalion.

The tribes outside the Saiwai did not suffer less from the Divine Arm Bow, and when they heard the name of the Divine Arm Battalion, Huang Junzi was finally honest.

Wang Qilin asked, "What are you doing here in broad daylight to find me?"

Huang Junzi approached him and whispered, "Looking for your help!"

Wang Qilin's heart tightened: "Your mother! This is the imperial capital, don't make trouble here, many people will die!"

Huang Junzi said aggrievedly: "We didn't do anything, someone did us, no, there are ghosts who mess with us!"

"Ghost!"

Huang Junzi nodded solemnly: "Yes, we have brothers who have been entangled by ghosts!"
