Chapter 768: The War Book and Even

Xie Yu was also very surprised. They had experimented with this method countless times, and every time the livestock in the carriage was not spared. Why could Sima Guang still survive?

But even if he experimented countless times, the facts were in front of him. Sima Guang was still alive. When everyone carried him out, he could even shout loudly.

"Ah!! My legs!"

A fierce light appeared on Xie Yu's face: "Young master, if that's the case, I'll go down and kill him by myself now!"

Brother Chen Dong said coldly: "No need, you will take your people away from Bianjing and wait for us in Qiongzhou. My father said that he will find you a piece of land outside, and your life will be better than you are now. Remember, don't appear in the Song Dynasty again in the recent period."

Xie Yu was very happy: "Yes, yes, everything is arranged by the prince consort, and the villain will take his brothers away."

When Zhan Zhao from Kaifeng Prefecture arrived at the scene, the driver who caused the accident had already slipped away while the crowd was in chaos.

The carriages of this era do not have license plates, and the streets were extremely chaotic when the coachman appeared, and no one paid attention to what the coachman looked like.

Zhan Zhao and Yan Cha visited many people, but did not get any valuable clues. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others also checked several carriage houses in Bianjing, but could not find out a clue. They thought that the carriage was rushed over after being prepared from other places.

There is no clue at all. It is precisely because it cannot be found that everyone knows in their hearts that this matter was sent by Chen Shimei.

No one believed it was a coincidence.

Although Sima Guang was not killed by one shot, he lost too much blood. The imperial doctor said he could escape from danger. What is certain is that Sima Guang's legs were destroyed. The legs were smashed into blood and their bones were broken. Even if he survived, he would be destined to be a disabled person in the future.

Chen Shimei's move wasted Sima Guang, and his methods were so vicious and vulgar, he didn't even make an excuse to divert everyone's doubts.

He was always so unexpected. When everyone's attention was attracted by the things about Liu Yong and the Yunzhong Mansion, he seemed to be afraid that others would forget him.

Everyone knew that he did it. But without evidence, no one could find any evidence, and there was no way to do it.

"Chen Shimei!"

Zhao Shu was very angry and threw all the things on the dragon table to the ground. Wen Yanbo's brows were always frowning tightly these days. He felt that Chen Shimei was conveying a message to Bianjing, and he was back.

What will Chen Shimei do next? Wen Yanbo can't guess.

"Long live, Chen Shimei is so bold and arrogant, despising the laws of the Song Dynasty, and he should be punished for his serious crimes!" Fan Chunyou was very angry at Sima Guang's experience. He was not as good as Chen Shimei. In the eyes of the literati, if you have any objections to someone, you can scold him in person. If you want to kill him, you can participate in him in the court.

But Chen Yuan did not use this method, and he did not play according to the rules at all.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Fan Chunyou: "Chunyou, do you have any evidence that Chen Shimei made it?"

Fan Chunyou said angrily: "Who else besides him?"

Wen Yanbo snorted: "I mean evidence. If Chen Shimei said that he had not arrived in Bianjing yet, why is this matter counted on him? What do you say?"

Fan Chunyou was stunned for a moment, Wen Yanbo glanced at him, then sighed: "Also, Chunyou, you'd better be careful in the past few days."

Fan Chunyou looked fearless and said with his head in his hands: "I'm not afraid of Chen Shimei's methods."

Zhao Shu's face turned pale: "I originally wanted to let him have a way out, but now it seems that I can't give him a way out for such a person who is unrighteous! This time I come back, he doesn't have to explain to me. I will let him see the late emperor! I will send a quick horse immediately and urge Chen Shimei to arrive in Bianjing within ten days, otherwise, there will be no mercy."

Wen Yanbo's heart trembled, Zhao Shu was a little anxious. He didn't want Chen Shimei to go on slowly, but would Chen Shimei be obedient?

The prince-consort is very obedient.

After Zhao Shu got his imperial edict, his speed immediately increased. From dozens of miles a day in the past, he suddenly turned into more than two hundred miles a day. In other words, except for the few hours he slept every day, he basically was on the horse's back, and even eating should be on the horse's back.

Sima Guang's injury caused Zhao Shu to break one arm, but it was not without benefits. When Sima Guang was injured, the scholar-officials who had originally stared at Liu Yong's affairs suddenly became quiet.

The matter was very clear. There must be a contest between Chen Shimei and Zhao Shu. People like Ouyang Xiu were originally very dissatisfied with Zhao Shu, but when Chen Yuan really set off his posture to send out the signal, they hesitated again.

Did Chen Shimei really challenge Zhao Shu's authority? Thousands of years of Confucianism made them not want to see this result, but Zhao Shu's actions during this period really made them feel relieved. In this very contradictory mood, they all wanted to be a bystander.

Chen Shimei suddenly accelerated the speed. If he continued to run like this, he would be able to return to Bianjing in less than five days. What kind of battle between the king and the minister will be staged?

Look, you'll know right away.

Before Chen Shimei arrived in Bianjing, the first person who appeared in the court was the body of the prefect of Yunzhong Prefecture, who was like a flesh ball.

When Zhao Shu saw the prefect really wanted to laugh, he forced himself to laugh. He couldn't laugh. Really, he couldn't connect this guy with a figure of nearly 300 pounds to kill the warriors of the Liao vanguard.

The prefect was a little troubled to walk. When he crossed the high threshold of the palace, he almost tripped. When he walked into the middle of the court, the prefect knelt down and saluted. However, in Zhao Shu's opinion, he was no different from standing.

It was a ball when I stood there, but it was still a ball when I knelt down.

"I am here to see the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" The prefect met Zhao Shu for the first time, so he had to perform the grand ceremony of kneeling three and nine kowtows. This was a kind of "exercise" for him. Every time he kowtowed, the fat on his belly was curled up. When the fourth head was finished, the prefect raised his body and shouted: "Oh my god."

The people in the court could no longer hold it back, including Zhao Shu, all laughed out loud. The prefect did not care at all. He was still five times before he kowtowed. He continued to bow down. Zhao Shu sat on the dragon chaise and waved his hand: "Your dear, please be flat, no need to be polite."

The prefect insisted on knocking the nine sounds, and then got up with difficulty, shaking the fat on his belly.

Zhao Shu spoke first, and this time he asked seriously: "My dear, why did the merchants in Yunzhong Mansion stop the market? Why did you handle the situation inappropriately and let the situation continue to expand?"

Everyone was waiting for the prefect's words, wanting to hear what he had to explain. The prefect raised his fat head and said, "Long live, this matter is really not the fault of Weichen! It's all for Chen Shimei! Those businessmen gathered to make trouble when they heard that Chen Shimei was dissatisfied with the punishment of Long Live. Weichen could not suppress them at all."

Everyone was stunned. Now everyone knows that Chen Yuan must be behind the scenes, but they are not willing to say them. Including Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu doesn't want this name to be talked about too much, preferably no one knows when he came to Bian Jing.

Chen Shimei came back quietly, and then quietly killed him. Now there are few people talking about Chen Shimei's affairs on the street, and this is what Zhao Shu wants.

He also thought that the prefect might say some superficial reasons, and then he gave a perfunctory reply, and finally put the matter there first. After dealing with Chen Shimei and other businessmen, he would naturally be safe.

But no one expected that the prefect said so directly that the essence of the matter was revealed in an instant.

Now Chen Shimei is another topic that must be discussed.

Is this guy who is heavier than a pig stupider than a pig?

Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment, staring at the magistrate's face and trying to see something. Unfortunately, there was too much fat on the magistrate's face!

"As a local parent official, you cannot control the residents under your rule, and you have an unshirkable responsibility." Fan Chunyou stood up and said.

No matter what the prefect is thinking, he will pick out Chen Shimei, which is very unfavorable to Zhao Shu's plan. Fan Chunyou wants to change the topic. As long as the prefect continues to speak according to his words, then the next thing is to talk about Yunzhong Prefecture, not Chen Shimei.

But the prefect seemed really stupid. He clasped his fists at Fan Chunyou: "This little adult,"

Little Lord Fan Chunyou was a little surprised. It was the first time someone called him this. The prefect continued: "This time, the business in Yunzhongfu caused trouble. It seemed that they were dissatisfied with their subordinates. In fact, the fundamental reason was that Chen Shimei suddenly left. They were worried that the court's policies would change, so they used this method to test the court's bottom line."

This is a bit reasonable. The message from the Chamber of Commerce told Zhao Shu that the current businessmen were worried that after Chen Shimei left, they were in a transitional period, and the sudden death of Renzong was even more disturbing.

Zhao Shu threw Chen Shizhong into prison and appointed a new chairman of the chamber of commerce in the name of the emperor. This really made the businessmen not know what the court was going to do.

Although the businessmen in Yunzhong Mansion caused trouble this time, although the matter was limited to Yunzhong Mansion, merchants from other places were watching.

This is also the hardest way to solve the problem. Concession means telling Chen Shimei that he won. If the merchants do not make concessions, once the Song Dynasty thought that the policy toward merchants had really changed and they wanted to bring them back to their original form, they would immediately run away with the money.

Zhao Shu originally wanted to let the prefect use his identity as a local official to stabilize the matter first. After killing Chen Shimei, he would release Chen Shizhong and others and tell the merchants that everything would be the same. Then there would be no problem.

However, the prefect was quite uncooperative, and his next words were even more shocking: "The officials thought that if this matter was to be calmed down, they had to send officials to mediate. Of course, the best way was for the emperor to ask Chen Shimei to say something, and he said something, and to beat the officials and those guys to the point of getting tired of their mouths."

The only one left in the court was the thick breathing sound, and everyone was looking at the prefect. The prefect seemed to have not noticed the strange look at the look. It seemed that he had forgotten Chen Shimei's current identity and was still talking casually: "The officials thought that if Chen Shimei showed up as a court official, the effect would be the best..."

"Enough!"
