In the Taihe Palace, it is splendid.

"Your Majesty is lenient and benevolent, such as today's eight wildernesses are calm, the farmers are happy, and the civil and military are loyal. Tian Wenlin finished speaking a large set of timeless eulogies, and finally played: "Under the grace of His Majesty, my Jingzhao Mansion has worked hard to solve major cases such as Luo's carriage and horse shop, and now I have captured three bandit leaders and killed countless bandits. ”

Wu Yuanzong leaned on the royal chair and squinted, reminiscing about the various delicate treats that Zhou Tianshi had presented to him, and only listened to Tian Wenlin's play: "It's just that the three bandits are all Hu people, and there is no trivial matter in diplomatic relations. ”

"The bandits are Hu people, what are their goals?" Wu Yuanzong suddenly opened his eyes.

"The Hu people built a gang called the Fist Gang, and they took power all over the world, but at present it is just for robbery, and the case of the Golden Sword and Dart Bureau is to rob the dart silver. Tian Wenlin said.

"We must thoroughly investigate this case, and we must severely punish these Hu people who wantonly do evil in this dynasty, although diplomatic relations are no trivial matter, but there is no need to care too much about the identity of the Hu people. Wu Yuanzong looked at the crown prince Wu Zhimin and said: "After the dispersal of the dynasty, the details of this case can be discussed in detail with the prince, and the prince will decide." ”

"Honorable Order!"

"Son's honor!"

"In the past, Jingzhao Mansion would hand over major cases to Jin Wuwei for handling, but this time it solved the case by itself. Wu Yuanzong suddenly became interested, and asked casually: "That Aiqing of Jingzhao Mansion solved the case so quickly?"

"Seven-rank martial arts officials Su Ziang and Chu Tian. Tian Wenlin looked at Qu Dingtian and said, "It is a disciple of the Taihua faction sponsored by General Qu. ”

Zhuo Dingfeng really looked at it, and the two of them smiled.

"The Taihua faction has always been meritorious to this dynasty. Wu Yuanzong said: "If you have merit, you must be willing to win awards, you must promote them, and you must encourage young talents to become the pillars of this dynasty as soon as possible." ”

"The minister obeyed. Tian Wenlin took the order to retreat, and began to think about how to take the opportunity to approach the prince......

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs were all thinking about everyone's affairs, and there were other ministers playing other matters, and no one paid attention to the names of the two seven-rank petty officials that Tian Wenlin said, only a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the ears of Yushi Xu Ya, and he secretly said in his heart: "Su Ziang?

"Everyone, it's only a few months away from the end of the year. Wu Yuanzong dealt with Xu Shangshu of the completion department and said: "There are two major things to be done in this dynasty, one is that all countries come to the dynasty, and the other is the big exam before the year. ”

"These two things, one is related to the face of this dynasty, and the other is related to the selection of available talents for this dynasty, and there is no room for mistakes. Wu Yuanzong's voice was clear and powerful, and he announced: "These two things are related to the national capital, and the crown prince is responsible for handling them, and King Dai and King Yi are assisting to handle these two things together." ”

"The retainers obey the order!"

"The retainers obey the order!"

"The retainers obey the order!"

The crown prince and the two princes hurriedly bowed down together to receive the order.

On the second day of the court meeting, Tian Wenlin quickly called Su Ziang and Chu Tian and said, "Your Majesty has made a holy decision today and thoroughly investigated the Fist Gang, but the prince reminded that there is no need to deliberately mention the identity of Hu Ren. ”

He paused, bowed his hand in the direction of the prince's mansion, and said: "The prince has made it clear that all the departments of the dynasty will vigorously support the government to solve the case, and strive to clear the remnants of the fist gang lurking in Luodu before Wanbang comes to the dynasty. ”

"No. Su Chu and the two responded, and listened to Tian Wenlin say: "The two of you will start to do it, and if you have something, you can directly report to the official." ”

"No. Su Ziang looked at Tian Wenlin's face, he really couldn't understand Tian Wenlin's thoughts, since Tian Wenlin was so active in trying to solve the case, he obviously had nothing to do with the people in the Fist Gang, and his previous suspicions seemed to be all out of nowhere.

In the butterfly garden.

Mu Sangzi took out a portrait, the portrait was lifelike, in the painting was a thin old man with a high nose and deep eyes, and eight-character eyebrows, and said: "This is a real portrait of Maitreya Buddha, and it is also a big secret of this school. ”

"Maitreya Buddha and Shi Jingui look slightly different, but they are easy to identify, with a high nose and deep eyes, and eight-character eyebrows ......" Su Ziang took the portrait and looked it up and down, and said with a smile: "What does Uncle Mu mean?"

"The three holes of the cunning rabbit, but the old slippery head Maitreya Buddha will have at least nine holes, he will use different masks in front of different people, you two remember his true face, maybe one day this old slippery head will arch into the arms of the two of you. Mu Sangzi smiled: "Self-respecting and intelligent people often love to do this. ”

"Uncle Mu, can you modify the portrait of Maitreya Buddha slightly, it is plausible, and then post him and Shi Jingui's portrait together in the Nine Gates of Luodu, and offer a high gold reward in the Beidou Pavilion. Su Ziang proposed: "This will increase the pressure on Maitreya Buddha, and it will make him feel lucky, mistakenly thinking that we know his true face, what do you think?"

"Okay, good, this ploy is obscene, but it's just to my taste. Mu Mulberry praised it.

Su Ziang said: "Uncle Mu, Jingzhao Mansion is going to take Uncle Middle Finger and two bandits to parade the streets, and Chu Tian and I rely on your old man's blessing for our lives." ”

"The two of you have prepared the green vine armor, and this seat is hidden in the dark to take care of it, so don't worry about going to the street. Mu Mulberry agreed.

A day later.

Luodu Jiumen posted a list to reward the portraits of Maitreya Buddha and Shi Jingui, calling the two fugitive thieves and bandits, and receiving all kinds of news at high prices.

In Luodu, in Hong's house, there was a burst of helpless cursing.

"Su Ziang and Chu Tianzhen are a pair of plague gods, since they appeared in Jingzhao Mansion, the gang kept missing, turning around, and Uncle Middle Finger finally fell into their hands......" The index finger adult's voice revealed helplessness, and mocked: "They are still a dog skin plaster, cut constantly, and have been clinging to us, and now they are going to parade the streets, and Jiumen hangs the list to arrest the third brother you and Jin Gui." ”

"Big brother, you came to me, do you want me to rescue Uncle Middle Finger?" Maitreya Buddha saw through the intention of the index finger at a glance, and asked directly.

"That's true, Uncle Middle Finger is a member of his own clan, and he knows too many secrets of his gang, and he needs to rescue him both in public and private. The index finger is humane: "The index finger and the senior brother are not from their own clan, so they can't count on you for a while, and they can only count on you." ”

He sighed and said, "You also know that the Jingzhao Mansion must be on guard against this, and send others to take action, but I am afraid that this matter will not be resolved." ”

"I can save people. Maitreya Buddha said calmly: "But the eldest brother needs to use the Luodu Zhongben Gang Yuanying master for my dispatch." ”

"Okay, it's a word. There was a smile in the index finger's tone.

Maitreya Buddha suddenly said: "Big brother, is there any letter from China? Can the Soul Gathering Coffin be transported to Luodu on time?"

"Yes, it is a matter of national fortune, and there is no room for mistakes. The index finger replied affirmatively, "Is it that the senior brother can't wait?"

"Well, the plot has been going on for more than ten years, and the success or failure is here, if it succeeds, it will also be counted as a war plan. Maitreya Buddha muttered.

Lord Index Finger sighed: "If you succeed in the future, first trample the Taihua faction under your feet, and what Jin Kunzi, Mu Sangzi, Su Ziang, and Chu Tian are all like crushing small bedbugs to death one by one.......

"Hehe, the reason why the Taihua faction is prosperous is that it borrowed the light of the ancient Xia Dynasty, and when the time comes, the Taihua faction will definitely disappear. Maitreya Buddha disdained it and said: "We don't need to do it then, how many gangs in the world are secretly eyeing the position of the Taihua faction." ”

The index finger is humane: "Third brother, how to rescue Uncle Middle Finger, do you have a plan in mind?"

"You can only use a meter. Maitreya replied simply.

The blue sky is clear and cloudless.

Luodu City is as prosperous as ever, people come and go in the cross street, Diao Lezi and a group of scoundrels are dangling in the crowd, since the last time they were tyrannized by Qing Yao, a group of market rangers have a long memory, as soon as they approached the Miaoyue Medical Hall, they immediately took a detour, and saw the white robe turn around and flee from a distance.

"Boom ......"

A loud gong sounded from inside Jingzhao Mansion, and the people followed the reputation.

Su Ziang led a large group of arrest teams to sound the gong to open the way, and Chu Tian and Wu Liuqi led two teams to arrest and escort a prisoner car out of the palace one after another, and the prisoner cart carried Uncle Middle Finger and other three people towards the cross street.

After many days of torment, Uncle Middle Finger's beard was filthy and messy, twisted into a whisker rope and exposed from under the iron hood, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The prisoner cart moved slowly.

From time to time, he struck the gong in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The robbers of the Luojia carriage and horse shop are arrested, and the robbers of the Luojia carriage and horse shop are arrested......"

The people gathered around, pointing to the prisoner cart and talking, some with a look of hatred, some of them gloating, and some of them with a pitiful face.

"Lord Su, Lord Chu is good. Diao Lezi and a group of scoundrels came up from afar, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Do you push the prisoner cart with a push?"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Liu Weiyun and Wang Jie didn't have a good impression of Diao Lezi and his gang, so they immediately expelled loudly and shouted from afar: "Don't get in the way, get in the way, tie you to the prisoner car and carry you around together." ”

"Let's, let's, get out of the way......" Diao Lezi and Hua Peony immediately shook their arms and shouted to the crowd, and they also stood obediently on the side of the road.

Su Ziang squinted at it, Diao Lezi and the others still had black marks on their heads and faces, and couldn't help but smile, saying in his heart that his baby sister was quite ruthless, if there was no Shui Luanzi to restrain him from time to time, most of these scoundrels would return to the west.

"Slow down, slow down, brother-in-law is here. Wu Liuqi chased after him from behind, with a smug face, and said: "This time, thanks to my senior brother-in-law, I had a flash of inspiration in front of Xuanhui Gate, and I found that the people in the Fist Gang were fake and went out of the city......

"It's kind of like this. Su Ziang smiled.

"Just a little, what's the benefit of my brother-in-law?"

"What do you want to do six or seven?"

"Alas, senior brother-in-law, I have two big dreams when I come to Luo. Wu Liuqi sighed, glanced at Su Ziang, and said, "One is to go to the orchid wine shop to eat food and drink fine wine, and the other is to go to Yuchun Mansion to drink flower wine." ”

"Six-seven, you want to go to Yuchun Mansion to drink flower wine?"

"Of course. Wu Liuqi pouted: "We are small people, and we have a little money in our hands, why don't we go to Yuchun Mansion to have a good time?"

Su Ziang said: "Let's just steal it?"

"Of course not, the four of us brothers came to Luodu together, and we will enjoy the blessings together, and of course we must go together to drink flower wine. "Wu Liuqi Dao.

"Senior Brother Yao is usually silent, I don't know what he is thinking, if the matter of going to Yuchun Loufang is known to the master, our reputation will not be good. Su Ziang was worried.

"I see that you are usually quite smart, what can a man think? Ordinary men think about women and silver, and of course monks think about women and spirit stone magic weapons, isn't there a saying? ”

"What do you mean?"

"If a man doesn't sleep in the world, it's better to hang himself on the southeast branch. ”
