Volume 1 The Hidden Movement of the World Chapter 3 Atonement for Sins

Zhao Ji and the two agreed that Zhao Chang would go to Chu to present a treasure bag to the king of Chu and invite him to receive a reward, while Ji Wu would go to Wei and offer to the king of Wei. Just as the two were planning and planning, the wife and children of Wang Zhen returned home, and Wang Zhen entered the palace to surrender to the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Ji Dingchu ascended the throne and was already in the court, which was the time when the civil and military officials were discussing in the court. Wang Zhen reported the situation in a few words, and Ji Ding heard that the gangsters were going for property, and he was afraid that the treasure bag entrusted by his father on his deathbed would be lost, so he immediately sent Mengying to check.

Meng Ying came back to report the situation, Ji Ding was so angry that he gritted his teeth, beat his chest and scolded Wang Zhen:

"You stupid donkey, I am ruined in your hands, you are a sinner for the ages!"

When the ministers heard this, they were a little dazed, and they didn't know what the Son of Heaven was scolding. I only heard Wang Zhen say:

"The last general is willing to die to apologize!"

"What is the use of you dying? Do you know what was lost in my father's tomb? That is the heavenly opportunity to save my dynasty!

Ji Ding sighed thoughtfully, thinking that the thief must have gone to the heavenly machine, and the news may have been leaked a long time ago, and Wang Zhen was not all to blame. The ministers didn't know why, and when they saw that the Son of Heaven was silent, they didn't dare to answer indiscriminately. Ji Ding looked up at the two classes of ministers, and then continued:

"My father asked for a day opportunity before his death, and as for the cloth bag he carried with him, it was a miraculous plan to save my dynasty, and before he died, he instructed me to open the heavenly coffin after 7749 days and obtain the treasure bag. I don't want this stupid person to miss a big thing, but he was robbed by thieves and lost his treasure bag. Heyβ”„β”„"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, and a civil official listened to the advice and said:

"Wang Zhen takes care of his family, loses his righteousness and cares about his own interests, and forgets his country for the whole family, because he is disloyal and unjust, and he should be beheaded!"

When a military attache heard this, he immediately stood up and said:

"Wang Zhen was originally a loyal and righteous person, but because he gave people a handle and was held hostage, it was a matter of wife and children, and it was excusable, and I hope the king will deal with it leniently!"

"In the past, the Shang Dynasty strictly disciplined the law and enforced the law fiercely, so the Qin State was strong!

"If the Shang Dynasty is all right, why is it that the current King of Qin is torn apart? You all read the books of the sages, but you don't know the truth of governing the world with benevolence and subduing people with virtue?" the military general retorted.

"Now that Wang Zhen has abandoned the royal tomb, causing the soul of the first son to be uneasy, and the treasure has been stolen, the facts are conclusive, what else can I say!" said the civil official who began to speak.

"Okay, don't say more! Now it matters who has the means to get that treasure bag back!" Ji Ding was originally a benevolent and cowardly lord, and he only thought that he was sorry for his father for losing the treasure bag, so he immediately stopped the argument.

"Why don't you let Wang Zhen atone for his sins and arrest the thieves!" the military attache said.

"No! Wang Zhen is the general of the palace Praetorian Guard, and the arrest of the thief is naturally responsible for the Dali Sikou, and Wang Zhen is guilty of a serious crime, at least he must be imprisoned, and he will be punished after hearing it!" said the civil official.

"What do you think is good?" Ji Ding heard that the civil official was reasonable, so he turned his head and asked the Taishi.

Taishi is an old minister who assists Tiantianzi and is also Ji Ding's teacher. Taishi knew that the Son of Heaven had a benevolent and righteous heart, and he had always valued Wang Zhen, and the talents of the Zhou Dynasty withered, so there were not many talents available.

"The old minister thinks that it can be hosted by Master Si Kou Zhang, and Wang Zhen will be the leader! First, Si Kou can do his duty, and second, Hu Benlang can make meritorious contributions to the crime! Wang Zhen has had a relationship with the thief, and he is involved in it, which will help him solve the case, and he will definitely go all out if he commits a capital crime, if he does not do it effectively, it will not be too late to deal with it!"

"Well, the Taishi's words are very appropriate, just do what the Taishi says!" When Ji Ding heard this, he really fell into the favor, so he immediately said to Wang Zhen:

"If you can't catch the thief and can't find the treasure bag, I will not spare you, retreat!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen!" Wang Zhen thanked him and retreated.

Wang Zhen was anxious and guilty, and he didn't dare to go far after retreating, so he only waited outside for Si Kou to discuss with him about catching the thief after retreating. After a while, Lord Si Kou Zhang retreated, and when Wang Zhen saw it, he came up and said:

"Lord Si Kou, the king has ordered to assist Si Kou to solve the case, please command!"

"Where, where! The lord is General Huben, if it weren't for this accident, he must be the minister of my dynasty, and the old minister wants the general to promote and guide!" Si Kou is an old man, and now he is above Wang Zhen, so he calls himself an old minister. Si Kou did not belittle Wang Zhen in his words, but also called himself an old minister, obviously a veteran of officialdom.

"Now that the matter is urgent, don't go far away for that group of thieves, I don't dare to slack off, so I am here to wait for Si Kou!" Wang Zhen was indeed anxious to solve the case, and he was anxious.

"I ordered Li Zhutou to assist you, and you two can act immediately to arrest the thieves, so okay?"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Wang Zhen was a little grateful when he saw Si Kou helping so much, so he thanked Si Kou and immediately went back to arrange the operation, preparing to solve the case as soon as possible.

Zhao Chang looked for such helpers, some of whom were sensible and had fled with their belongings, and some of whom did not know the importance of some gold and stayed in Luoyi City to have fun. Wang Zhen and others made a secret visit for two days, looked for clues, arrested several of them, and put them in the prison of Sikou Yamen.

Several people couldn't help but torture and quickly confessed. Lord Si Kou Zhang saw the confessions of several people, and saw that the spearhead was pointed at the Qin State, which was basically the same, and after a little contemplation, he ordered someone to call Wang Zhen to discuss.

Si Kou first let Wang Zhen read the confession, and after a while, he said:

"It's a trivial matter to lose your property now, but it's just that the treasure bag of the son of heaven is probably in the hands of Lizi, and it will be difficult to recover!

"Heyβ”„β”„ that the Qin country is powerful, how can it be recovered!" Wang Zhen sighed.

"Now that the Qin State is eyeing me, we have long had the intention of peeping, even if we don't mess with him, it will be difficult to protect ourselves, let alone ask for a treasure bag!" Si Kou said.

"I led the troops alone, fought for my life, and snatched the treasure bag back! There is no other way!" Wang Zhen said angrily.

"The general's death is a small matter, if you find an excuse for the Qin State to start a war, you will become a sinner through the ages!

"Then I'll go alone, sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly, and steal the treasure bag, so good?" Wang Zhen said again.

"What kind of place is the Yuanhou Mansion of the Qin State, and the younger brother of the King of Qin, how can ordinary people enter and enter freely! I'm afraid that I just gave my life in vain!" Si Kou said.

"Hey, how is that good, I'll go and ask the Son of Heaven for my life, and I won't even bother Si Kou!" Wang Zhen sighed disheartenedly.

When Si Kou heard this, he saw that Wang Zhen did not study the problems and loopholes in this case in detail, but he also determined that the treasure bag was in the hands of Zhu Lizi, and he knew it in his heart, so he said:

"If the general has the heart of death, it is easy to do!"

When Wang Zhen heard this, it seemed that there was still a chance for a turnaround, so he said to Si Kou:

"Please teach me Sikou!"

Si Kou originally just wanted to get out, and he didn't want to be involved in this case, so he said:

"In that treasure bag is nothing more than the words of some sages, which are good strategies for me to the Son of Heaven, but not necessarily for the Son of Heaven!

"Exactly, please ask your lord to speak loudly!" Wang Zhen said as if he had realized something.

"The general can scatter all his family wealth in exchange for a lot of money, and use it to dedicate it to the Qin State's Lizi, and exchange it for a treasure bag from him, so that it may be exchanged for the life of the general's family!" Si Kou said.

"If it really works, I will be grateful to Si Kou for saving his life!" Wang Zhen said.

"I have prepared a recital for the case, the general please sign it, tomorrow I will play tomorrow according to the general's wishes, and then go and inform the general!" Si Kou said as he took out the recital and asked Wang Zhen to sign and draw a pledge on it, in order to solve the matter as soon as possible, and put this trouble over.

Wang Zhen didn't look closely, signed his name hastily, thanked Si Kou, and went back.

Si Kou handed over the chapter, and the Son of Heaven felt that this was the only way, so he granted Wang Zhen's request, and sent him some gold and jade, and asked him to take them with him and give them to Lizi, in exchange for the dying relics of the first king.

Wang Zhen hurriedly sold the assets of the family, disposed of the slave and domestic servants, and placed his wife Cui Shi and his only son Wang Xu in a hut, and asked his subordinates Tian Zhong to take care of his wife and children before leaving, and took a few people on the road in a hurry. However, what Wang Zhen never expected was that he was still going to a dead end, and his measures just gave Zhao Changji and others enough time to exchange the cloth they sought for the glory and wealth of their dreams.
