Chapter 0047: Ascension

The situation changed suddenly, seeing Zhao Bufan walking towards him step by step, Luo Ash was a little flustered, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Zhao Bufan, you not only colluded with the Liao State, but also instigated the army and the people to rebel, this is a big crime to wipe out the three clans, you must not die!"

"I colluded with Liao?"

Zhao Bufan sneered, didn't bother to look at him again, as if endorsing, and announced loudly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"On the seventh day of the eighth month of the fifth year of Zhenghe, Luo Ash bribed the shopkeeper of the restaurant and forged the deed to occupy the restaurant. The original shopkeeper rushed to Bazhou City in anger, intending to sue the state capital, Luo Ash personally took action, intercepted and killed him halfway, and then in order to reduce the trouble, he secretly killed the shopkeeper all over the house Eleven people of all ages, the oldest one was seventy-one years old, and the youngest was one year old! Witnesses, Zheng Ming, Gan Xiong, Huang Biao! Evidence, Luo Ash's lost personal sword!

On the first day of November in the fifth year of Zhenghe, Luo Shen heard that the land in Wu Laocai's family in Guifeng Village was an ancestral heirloom, and the title deed had not been filed with the government, so he sent someone to steal the title deed from his family, and then forged the title deed to forcibly occupy 23 acres of Wu Laocai's land, and broke the right hand of Wu Laocai's eldest son, forcing his family to move south, and he still does not know where to go. Witnesses, Zheng Ming, Gan Xiong, Xu Daniu. evidence, forged title deeds with seals. ”

"On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Zhenghe, Luo Ash sent people to pretend to be bandits, went to Hejian Mansion to rob nineteen people, and brought all of them back to Huayuelou as prostitutes, forcing the old bustard of Huayuelou to obey him, and the money he made occupied six floors exclusively. Witnesses, Huayuelou bustard, Zheng Ming, Gan Xiong and the robbed girl. Evidence, Flower Moon House bills. ”

"On the third day of the second month of the sixth year of Zhenghe, Luo Ash subdued the bandits entrenched in E'er Mountain, and robbed the passing business travelers, and the witnesses were ............"

As Zhao Bufan read out Luo Ash's crimes one by one, the audience was silent.

When all the more than a dozen charges were read, Zhao Bufan looked at Luo Ash coldly, and said word by word: "A total of seventy-eight rich businessmen, ordinary people, and officials died directly in your hands, and the number of people who died indirectly because of you cannot be counted, and at this moment, there are all human and material evidence, how can you deny it?"

Luo Ash's face was like dead ashes, and his eyes looked at Gan Xiong viciously.

"Why did you betray me, I have been kind to you for so many years!"

Gan Xiong said angrily: "You insult me every day, punch and kick me at every turn, have a slight disagreement, and you still threaten me with my family, if you don't have no choice, who will listen to your orders." Commander Zhao found me and persuaded me to help him expose you, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for three nights!"

Luo Shen took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Ming through gritted teeth. "The bear is so stupid, he only knows how to shout and kill the enemy, stupid, I just think he is a dog. But Zheng Dutou, I treat you well after all, and I really treat you as a confidant, why do you want to betray me?"

Zheng Ming said with a smile: "At the beginning of the Bazhou defensive battle, I followed Deputy Commander Zhao to fight bloody battles for more than half a month, life and death together, not to mention standing up to the sky, but I also asked myself that I am also a good man, how could I be a dog under your account? I first came to you to take refuge, it was the order of Deputy Commander Zhao, but you are too cunning, it really took me a lot of effort to win your trust!"

"Aren't you jealous of Zhao Bufan? Don't you hate him for monopolizing meritorious deeds, but you didn't get promoted?" Luo Ash was so angry that his lips were biting blood.

Zheng Ming sneered, and then looked at Zhao Bufan again, his eyes full of admiration.

"At the beginning, the Bazhou defensive battle was facing a desperate situation, and Deputy Commander Zhao made a person carry a big banner, stand high on the city tower, and shout a sentence of the Chinese man's eternal indomitability and generosity to death, can you understand how shocking it was? He rushed to thousands of Liao soldiers alone, without fear, can you understand what kind of courage it was? At that time, the vast majority of the people misunderstood him, but he still had no regrets and never retreated, what was he for? Such a person, even if I want to be jealous, I really can't be jealous, because I at least still have human nature!"

As the words fell, Zheng Ming looked at Luo Shen indifferently, and continued in a deep voice: "But what about you? What are you? You colluded with the Liao State, forged letters, and framed Deputy Commander Zhao, these are all things I have seen with my own eyes, that Liao State is still hidden by you in the backyard of the Command Division, what do you have to say? The Liao people also dream of killing Deputy Commander Zhao, and even sacrifice a Khitan soldier to cooperate with you, which shows that they are afraid of Deputy Commander Zhao, and that Deputy Commander Zhao is our hero, what are you a dog thief?"

Luo Ash couldn't speak anymore, knowing that the general trend was gone, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Detective Zhu, who had remained calm from beginning to end, suddenly pulled out his knife and said indifferently: "I didn't expect that it was really you who colluded with the Liao State!"

Zhao Bufan turned his head in shock.

Xu Xunjian next to him was even more surprised and asked, "Detective Zhu also found out that someone colluded with Liaoguo?"

Detective Zhu said coldly: "Your Majesty, after the last invasion of the Liao State, has personally sent an order to our Imperial City Division, demanding that all the people who collude with the Liao State be found. Our Imperial City Division has been tracking this matter for more than a year, and recently I have found some clues, and I already suspect this Luo Ash, but I didn't expect it to be exposed by Deputy Commander Zhao today!"

"Not good!" Zhao Bufan suddenly let out a roar and rushed to Luo Gray.

But after all, it was too late, Luo Ash was bleeding from his seven orifices, and he had obviously used internal force to cut off his heart.

Detective Zhu also stepped forward to check, and when he confirmed that Luo Shen was no longer saved, he was full of regret.

"Alas, he should have stopped his martial arts as soon as possible!"

But when Zhao Bufan heard this, his eyes were very gloomy, and he secretly said in his heart: I didn't expect it, but this Detective Zhu is a secret agent of the Imperial City Division, and he comes into contact with this kind of thing every day, why didn't he expect it? He was even in the mood to explain to Brother Xu on the side? If he hadn't taken away my attention by talking, Luo Shen wouldn't have succeeded in committing suicide so easily!

With this suspicion in his heart, when Zhao Bufan looked at Detective Zhu again, he always felt that he was a little weird. However, Zhao Bufan didn't show it, now that Luo Ash is dead, he has become the supreme commander here, and he is busy dispersing the people and arresting the relevant criminals, but unfortunately the Liao man who hid in the backyard of the command department committed suicide by poisoning and failed to capture him alive.

After all this, the hour was almost noon, as the host, Zhao Bufan invited Xu Xunjian and Zhu Detective to the restaurant together, and did a little bit of the friendship of the landlord!

When drinking during the banquet, the atmosphere was quite warm, but Zhao Bufan found that Detective Zhu's habit of eating and drinking was also very strange, and it always seemed a little awkward, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while, just a feeling.

Full of wine and food, Inspector Xu was in a hurry to return to Bazhou City to resume his life, but Detective Zhu chose to stay, saying that he still had some things to investigate in Yantou Village.

Zhao Bufan arranged for him to live in the post house, and then quietly returned to his home, now that the matter is over, he also needs to rest for two days, clear his thoughts, and then try to investigate other people who colluded with Liao, as for that Detective Zhu, he is very suspicious of the other party now, so he didn't disclose any news.

Six days later, the imperial court rode quickly to Yantou Village, accompanied by Zhou Tao, the soldier and horse supervisor of Bazhou.

When Zhao Bufan received the news, they had already rushed to the outside of the command department, and the person sent by the imperial court was a little eunuch, so Zhou Tao waited outside the door, but he walked into the office with a high spirit, and asked in a sharp voice: "You are Zhao Bufan?"

"It's down there!" Zhao Bufan replied.

The little eunuch glanced at him for a long time, and said in a sharp voice: "Cai Xiang played Your Majesty a few days ago, saying that you have made meritorious contributions to breaking Liao, and three days ago, you Yantou Village came to 800 miles to expedite, saying that you exposed Luo Ash's treason with the enemy. After His Majesty heard this, Long Xin was overjoyed and personally ordered the Privy Council to promote your official rank to Bao Yilang, knowing Yantou Village. You will be the Zhizhai of Yantou Village in the future, congratulations!"

The official system of the Great Song Dynasty was particularly complex, divided into official ranks and dispatches, and Bao Yilang was the official rank, which determined the rank and rank. Zhizhai is the dispatch, the right to decide the actual control.

For example, Taiwei Gaoyu, Taiwei is only his official rank, deciding the level and grade, and now there are no less than ten generals in the rank of Taiwei, and the reason why he has great power is because his actual dispatch is the "commander of the palace" of the front division of the palace, and the top general of the front division of the palace, and the front division of the palace, the horse military division of the guards, and the infantry division of the guards, collectively known as the three ya, command the main force of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, so the power is great. However, the Privy Council is the highest military command body, and the Sanya only has the right to command the troops, not the right to transfer troops, and obeys the assignment of the Privy Council.

At this moment, Zhao Bufan was not very happy when he heard that he was promoted to Bao Yilang, because Bao Yilang's official rank was converted according to the nine-grade system, that is, it was the ninth grade, and it was not enough to surprise him now, what was really unexpected was that he was sent to become the governor of Yantou Village, and the military and political power of Yantou Village would all fall into his hands.

Now the place he guards, only the east village of Yantou Village, there is a west village in the northwest two miles apart, the two villages are like horns, looking at each other, becoming an important place to guard against the Liao State, and the two villages each have a command of troops, adding up to a thousand people, and they will be under his jurisdiction in the future.

The little eunuch also seemed to see that he was very happy, pursed his lips and smiled: "Zhao Zhizhai, you are young, this promotion is really fast, this time it is not only Cai Xiang who brings you, but Liang Gonggong also said good things in His Majesty's ear, his old man heard Cai Xiang say that you are very sensible, and he also has the heart to cultivate you!"

Who is Liang Gonggong, it is the great eunuch Liang Shicheng, the official worship Taiwei and Kaifu Yi Tongsansi, these two are not sent, they are both official ranks of the Great Song Dynasty. Kaifu Yitong Sansi is the highest official rank of civil officials, and Taiwei is the highest official rank of military attaché, of which the status of Taiwei is two levels lower, which is also the result of the Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and the martial artists are looked down upon, so their status is low.

But Liang Shicheng has different reactions, as a eunuch, but he has the highest grade of civil and military attachés at the same time, and he often drafts holy decrees for the emperor on weekdays, writes decrees on behalf of the emperor, and wins the favor of the emperor.

Zhao Bufan heard the meaning of the little eunuch's words at this time, and said secretly in his heart: No wonder it will be a little eunuch who came to deliver the message, I think it was Liang Shicheng's request, and now I can't offend!

Thinking of this, Zhao Bufan went directly to the back hall, took out two gold bricks after a while, and said with a smile: "Little father-in-law, you have worked hard from afar, this bit of gold is not a tribute, and then I bother you to tell Father-in-law Liang that when he is born next year, there will be a birthday gang sent to Bianliang, Tokyo!"

Zhao Zhizhai is really talented, and he is worthy of being the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty. The little eunuch hurriedly put the gold bar in his arms, and nodded again and again: "Our family and Zhao Zhizhai will be their own people in the future, and our own family will not lose our own family, you can rest assured, not only will I not delay the matter, but I will also say a few kind words in front of Liang's father-in-law." With Cai Xiang and Liang Gonggong to help, you will definitely rise to prominence in the future, if your position is not high, how can you do things better?"

"Then there is Lao Xiaogong!" Zhao Bufan remained silent and smiled slightly.

He knew he had finally taken his steps......
