Chapter 44 Ordered to Investigate

The emperor sent an edict: "Wang Taiwei, Wang Qing's family, I ordered you to patrol the hunt and go to Jingzhou."

It is called the Hunting on behalf of the Heavens, but it is actually a supervision and check.

After arriving in Jingzhou, you will take over the disaster relief in Jingzhou. In addition, I have given you a holy decree that you will be responsible for thoroughly investigating the many crimes committed by Sima Jinghui, and once it is verified to be true, I order you to execute Sima Jinghui on the spot, so as to make the people angry!"

Wang Bingquan was excited, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The emperor is sage! The minister Wang Bingquan obeys the order! May my emperor live long live! Long live! Long live!"

After bowing, he got up and went back to work, and said with a secret smile: "Great! Sima Jinghui, you shameless traitor, you wait for me, and when I arrive in Jingzhou, you will definitely pay a terrible price for all kinds of crimes you have committed!"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Taiwei was about to return to the house, but he saw the chief deacon and eunuch Huang Guan beside the emperor, and hurriedly ran over to this side, as if there was something important to announce.

When he came closer, Mr. Huang panted and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty the Emperor will announce that you will go to the imperial study to see you!"

"Obey!" Wang Taiwei followed Mr. Huang to the imperial study, and asked him sideways: "Gonggong Huang, I don't know if the emperor's anger can be dissipated?" Also, the emperor Xuan Wang, I don't know what he wants to explain?"

Manager Huang smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you can relax, His Majesty the Emperor's anger has subsided a lot, so you don't have to worry too much." As for why Your Majesty summoned Lord Wang, how can I, as a minion, know about it? When Lord Wang arrives at the Imperial Study and sees the Holy Face, won't it be clear?"

Wang Taiwei said with a smile: "My father-in-law is right! In this way, Wang has no choice but to make plans after seeing the driver!"

Coming to the imperial study, Wang Taiwei performed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, the emperor sent a message to give a seat, Wang Taiwei thanked the holy grace, and sat down to listen to the holy oracle.

Emperor Long Yan was a little happy, and opened Jinkou and said: "Wang Taiwei, I announced that you came here just to learn from you, what is the Chu Yishi mentioned in Cui Taishou's book?"

Wang Taiwei said: "Back to the saint, Chu Yishi is not only chivalrous, but also courageous and knowledgeable, outstanding in martial arts, and has stunts, he is really a rare talent!"

The minister intended to recommend him to the court as an official to help our emperor. How could Chu Yishi have no intention of entering the court, he just wants to be an ordinary chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, wandering the rivers and lakes casually, fighting swords and chivalrous righteousness. The minister felt very sorry for this, but he was helpless!"

The emperor sighed: "It's a pity that such a talent can't be recruited into the court." Anyway, since this person has no intention of becoming an official, I will not force him.

However, Chu Yishi worked tirelessly, fearlessly and dangerously, and traveled thousands of miles into Beijing to deliver the recital, so he worked for the people, which shows that he really has chivalrous feelings in his heart, and I am deeply moved in my heart!

I decided to give Chu Yishi one hundred taels of gold as a reward!" He turned to Mr. Huang and instructed: "Inner servant, quickly go to the Inner Servant Province to withdraw a hundred taels of gold, hand it over to Wang Taiwei to take back to the mansion, and transfer it to Chu Yishi!"

"Wow!" Mr. Huang obeyed the order and turned around to go to the Inner Servant Province.

Wang Taiwei thanked the saint on behalf of Chuping, and after receiving a hundred taels of gold, he kowtowed goodbye to the emperor, turned around and left the imperial study, and went home.

Back in the Taiwei Mansion, Wang Taiwei conveyed the holy will to Chu Ping, and handed over the hundred taels of gold to Chu Ping, Chu Ping was excited in his heart, facing due south, bowing to the Holy Grace, got up and said to Wang Taiwei: "Dare to ask Lord Taiwei, since His Majesty the Emperor has rewarded me with this hundred taels of gold, should the right to dispose of this hundred taels of gold be decided by the subordinates?"

Wang Taiwei stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "That's natural! I don't know what Chu Yishi meant?"

Chu Ping said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Taiwei, I want to hand over these hundred taels of gold to you, and you will transfer it to the old folks in Jingzhou, which can be regarded as a little bit of affection for the people of Jingzhou!

After hearing this, Wang Taiwei admired Chu Ping in his heart, and exclaimed: "Oh! Chu Yishi is really noble, and this official is deeply admired! If there can be more chivalrous people like Chu Yishi in the world, it will really be a blessing for the emperor and a blessing for all the people! Chu Yishi, please rest assured, this official will definitely transfer these 100 taels of gold to the hands of the Jingzhou fathers!"

"Thank you, Lord Taiwei! So, I'll go back to Jingzhou first. Lord Taiwei, in a few days, you and I will meet again in Jingzhou! Farewell!" said goodbye to Wang Taiwei, left Taiwei's Mansion, walked out of the capital, and returned to Jingzhou with Edgeworth.

After two days of non-stop travel, in the afternoon of this day, Chu Ping finally returned to Jingzhou City, looked around and there were no suspicious people, and quietly returned to Jingzhou Mansion.

When he returned to the palace, he first came to the study to meet Cui Taishou and made clear to him the will of the court.

Cui Taishou thanked Chu Ping and led him to the room where Shui Lingyu lived, and happened to meet Ye Feng on the way.

When he came to the door, he knocked lightly and said, "Lingyu, are you convenient now?" I'm Chu Ping, I'm back, if it's convenient for you, can you please open the door?"

It didn't take much effort, the door opened slowly, Shui Lingyu walked out of the room, and saw that it was Chu Ping standing in front of her, she was excited in her heart, her eyes looked at Chu Ping, the crystal tears in her eyes swirled, and the corners of her mouth kept sobbing.

Finally, Shui Lingyu couldn't control her emotions anymore, and plunged into Chu Ping's arms, hugged him tightly, and complained while crying: "Brother Chu Ping, you are so ruthless, how can you play tricks on me like this, you make me so miserable, you make me cry so sad, so sad! Brother Chu Ping, you are a big villain, you are so bad, you are so bad, you ......" while complaining, while beating him on the back.

Chu Ping knew that he was wrong, but he didn't say much, he just hugged Shui Lingyu tightly and apologized to her vigorously.

When Shui Lingyu's mood eased, Chu Ping held her shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, Lingyu, I promise never to do this again in the future, please don't cry again, okay?"

Shui Lingyu wiped her tears and said, "Brother Chu Ping, just this once, don't take it as an example! Otherwise, I will really have to ignore you again." ”

Chu Ping immediately promised: "Okay! I promise you, only this once, from now on, never again! Lingyu, now, you should forgive me?"

Shui Lingyu smiled playfully: "Forgive you? Think beautifully! You have caused me so much pain this time, how can I forgive you so easily? From now on, I will follow you every step of the way, and you don't want to leave me again." ”

Chu Ping gently wiped her little Yao nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, how can I be willing to leave my Lingyu?" Okay, Lingyu, it's not early, the weather outside is a little cold, you better hurry back to the house!"

Shui Lingyu stepped forward quickly, stretched out her hand, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "What? You let me go back to the house, so where are you going to go with the grate? Is it possible, are you going to leave me again?"

Chu Ping smiled slightly and said, "How could it be? I just went to discuss something with Lord Taishou!"

Shui Lingyu smiled: "Since that's the case, then I'll go with you too." ”

"No!" Chu Ping objected: "Lingyu, we are discussing some serious things, and it is always a little inconvenient to take you with us." ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyu was slightly unhappy, and said, "Brother Chu Ping, what do you mean by this?

Chu Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, don't ...... it, Lingyu, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!"

Shui Lingyu pursed her mouth, played a little temperament, stomped her foot, and said: "Hmph! Forget it! No matter what you mean, this girl is not uncommon to participate in your affairs, even if you invite me to go, I will not go."

Brother Chu Ping, you go and get busy with you, I'll go back to the room first. When you're done, don't forget to come to me!" Chu Ping smiled helplessly, turned around and walked towards the front hall.

When they came to the front hall, they saw Ye Feng also standing here, and after a cold noise, the two sat down in turn, and discussed with Cui Taishou how to deal with Sima Jinghui's every move before Wang Taiwei rushed to Jingzhou.

After some discussion, the three of them decided to adopt a strategy based on static braking and prevention, Chu Ping was in the dark, Ye Feng was in the light, to guard against all emergencies, and wait for Wang Taiwei to arrive in Jingzhou before taking action.

Press this head first, and then express that head.

It is said that Wang Taiwei and his entourage, since the day they left Beijing, Wang Taiwei ordered the entourage to put away the guard of honor, give up taking the soft sedan chair, ride a horse with everyone, and ride a horse and whip straight to Jingzhou Mansion. It only took five days, Wang Taiwei and his entourage rushed to the boundary less than ten miles away from Jingzhou Mansion, Wang Taiwei ordered the entourage to re-erect the Qincha honor guard, gongs to open the way, dragon flags and sticks were lined up, and the battle was very solemn and majestic.

After entering Jingzhou City, the streets are full of onlookers, while stretching out their heads to look up, watching the excitement, while talking about each other, talking endlessly, I don't know why the patrol came to Jingzhou?

However, after Sima Jinghui found out the news, he suddenly felt panicked and hurriedly convened everyone to discuss countermeasures. Sima Jinghui's confidant supervisor, Sima Minghe, stepped forward and said with relief: "Your Excellency, please relax, since we have intercepted the copy that Cui Fengping handed to the capital, how can the Holy Lord know about the situation in Jingzhou? Besides, don't you know what it means to patrol the heavens on behalf of your lordship? This Wang Taiwei is just here to inspect the affairs of Jingzhou Prefecture, and he is not specifically here for you, so why should you be so alarmed?"

Sima Jinghui was still worried, and said: "Having said that, but do you know? This Wang Bingquan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this guy is difficult to deal with! Once he is targeted, he will be destined to shed his skin." If he accidentally finds out something, then the official will really get into big trouble!"

Sima Minghe smiled and said, "My lord, please rest assured, the little one has an idea, so that the prince can't trouble you." ”

"What? Don't you still want Jing Mumao to assassinate him?" asked Sima Jinghui.

Sima Minghe hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, ......! This is just a reckless act, just a strategy, and the small one definitely doesn't mean that."

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. What's more, the gentle township is fascinated, and the shrewdness of the world is in vain!

Therefore, the little one thinks that there is no man in this world who is not greedy for money, and who is not lustful? Why don't you give it a try in this regard!"

When Sima Jinghui heard this, he suddenly became interested and asked, "How do you say this?"

Sima Minghe thought he had a plan, smiled, and said: "Little suggestion, adult, you might as well spend some money, give this Lord Qincha a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and select ten beauties, and give them to him together, once he accepts it, then everything will be easy to do!"

If he really just inspected the affairs of Jingzhou Prefecture, the adults should have the right to do personal favors with him, walk around with him, and make friends with each other, which will also be beneficial and harmless to the development of the adults in the officialdom in the future! If he really finds out some of the shortcomings of the adults, we can also use this to block his mouth, for the sake of giving him this generous gift, and when the time comes, forgive him and will not be embarrassed by the adults. ”

Sima Jinghui was worried: "What if he doesn't accept it?"

Sima Minghe squeaked: "That...... Then we have no choice but to take the next step, and at that time, I am afraid that the adults will have to find another way out! ”

Sima Jinghui thought about it for a while, nodded, and said, "In this case, let's do it according to your idea for the time being! I hope he still accepts it!" After the two of them finished thinking, they ordered someone to go and prepare immediately.

Let's go back and talk about the situation on the side of the Jingzhou Mansion. It is said that Cui Taishou welcomed Wang Taiwei into the state office, and the two sides each had their official ceremonies, Wang Taiwei sat down, arranged the entourage for the time being, and made clear the will of the court to Cui Taishou, please give a holy decree and enshrine it in the first case, and the two sat down together to discuss the method of capturing Sima Jinghui.

Before he could discuss the reason, he saw the guards at the door enter the hall and report: "Report to the ......two adults, Sima Minghe, the head of Lord Sima's mansion, came to the state government with a heavy gift, claiming that he came to meet Lord Qincha!"

When Wang Taiwei and Cui Taishou heard the report, they were suddenly surprised, and they both showed a full blankness. Cui Taishou asked Wang Taiwei: "Lord Taiwei, I don't know what Sima Jinghui means by this? Could it be that he already knows the purpose of Lord Taiwei's coming here, and specially sent someone to come to befriend Lord Wang?"

Wang Taiwei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Maybe that's what he meant! Hmph! I didn't expect this Sima Jinghui to want to use this to block Ben Taiwei's mouth, so that Ben Taiwei would be embarrassed and open up to him." He thought to himself: "Hmph! What a treacherous and shameless Sima Xiao'er, you can't help but underestimate me Wang Bingquan? How can I, Wang, be the kind of corrupt and derelict person who covets yellow and white things!" After thinking about it again and again, he thought about it, stroked his beard with his hand, and said to Cui Taishou: "Master Cui, now you and I are worrying about how to arrest Sima Jinghui, and he ordered someone to come to give gifts at this time, isn't this a great opportunity for you and me?" In this case, why don't you and I meet one or two, bother with him, and give him a plan?"

Cui Taishou listened, only to feel that it made sense, and immediately ordered someone to invite Sima Minghe to the front hall to wait for a meeting.

I don't know where the plan came from?
