Chapter 276 Who will kill the deer (thirty-nine)
Chapter 276 Who will win? (39)
The night gives people infinite imagination and also tolerate countless secrets. Many people are born to like night and like to hide in the dark to peep in others. Qian Xiangnan from the Black Eagle Army Military Intelligence Camp is also such a person, and Zan Jurun, the envoy of Xuanzhengbei.
Zan Jurun was a minister valued by Taizu Guo Wei and Shizong Chai Rong. He served as the Northern Envoy of Xuanzheng for a long time. Xuanzheng was a close minister of the emperor and was in line with the Deputy Prime Minister-level Deputy Envoy of Privy Council. Chai Rong personally fought several times, all of whom were the Southern Envoy of Xuanzheng and the Northern Envoy who remained behind in Tokyo, which shows his importance to Xuanzheng envoy.
Zan Jurun’s backyard has a two-story building. Sitting on the dark roof, you can just see the turning point of the street. This turning point is the only way to pass through the Nancheng District. Zan Jurun can drink tea while watching which carriages and who are entering and leaving the Nancheng District.
Due to the desire to peek at others, the backyard of Zan Mansion has always been extremely quiet. Whenever the servant sees the small blue wall of the backyard, he will immediately shut up and even subconsciously walk with his toes, which disturbs Zan Jurun, but it is a big deal that cannot be eaten and taken care of.
A maid, holding some fresh bayberry soup, came outside the green wall with her hands and feet. She was pushing open the empty gate of the courtyard. A sudden scolding came from the courtyard, which made the maid who was already feeling weak suddenly shook. The bayberry soup bowl slipped to the ground, and the white jade-like porcelain bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp "ding" sound, which looked particularly long in the quiet backyard.
The girl suddenly became bloodless. She couldn't help but kneel down at the door of the backyard, staring blankly at the red bayberry and white pieces of broken porcelain.
The butler soon appeared at the yard gate, and he whispered quietly and said: "Get up and follow me." The maid followed the butler foolishly, turned a few bends away from the terrifying blue wall. The maid rushed to the butler's feet and kowtowed hard. Soon, a bloody color appeared on her forehead.
The butler sighed and said, "It's not that I'm cruel, I just blame you for your bad luck." After that, he pulled out his feet and saw two strong servants coming over, and said, "Please do the same thing."
Zan Jurun no longer had the expression that made the new Jinshi feel like spring breeze. His face was calm and his slightly triangular eyes showed a fierce light.
"There is no news from the three Tang sects. They must be missing. General Li's people are missing. Someone is staring at Master Zan behind him. You must be careful." The person sitting behind Zan Jurun was Li Chongsheng, the deputy commander of the Longwei Army. Although he is a soldier, he felt a little dazzling when he saw Zan Jurun's eyes.
Zan Jurun waved his hand and said, "I know this in my mind. There is no need to say more."
Although there is no trace of the disappearance, some time ago, the palace unknowingly replaced the palace maids close to Concubine Tian Shu and replaced the imperial guards in the palace. As the saying goes, you can tell the autumn with a glance. Zan Jurun is smart and sophisticated, and has already seen the clues from these two things, but he is quite cunning and has not reached a critical period. He will not tell anyone outsiders.
"General Li handed over the Fengzhou army to you. You must firmly grasp the troops and not become deaf and blind people who can be teased by others. You don't have to worry about other things."
Li Chongsheng straightened his chest and said, "This is natural."
Although he said it nicely, he sighed in his heart: Long Wei Army, with Guo Jiong's commander, has the right to mobilize soldiers at will in the army, and although the Fengzhou Army is still established, many soldiers and lower-level officers are devoted to the Black Eagle Army. If time goes by, his deputy commander will be taken by Zan Jurun and become a real decoration.
Li Chongsheng's legs were slightly slim, which left traces of ground after long-term life. He walked out of the yard in a military posture, with his back straight, but in Zan Jurun's eyes, Li Chongsheng's back was really hunched.
"Does Li Chongjin have no better general? With Li Chongsheng's ability, how can he control the Long Wei army from Guo Jiong?" Zan Jurun couldn't help but want to say a swear word. After enduring it, he saw that there was no one around, and still whispered: "What a fucking group of bastards."
After cursing and saying swear words, Zan Jurun looked at the sky and saw a wisp of dark clouds slowly rushing towards the direction of the beam. He said to himself: "It's going to change the sky."
Zan Jurun walked back to the study, took the records copied by Liu Miyan from the hidden place, and looked carefully again. Suddenly, he noticed some abnormality, and a cold sweat rushed straight down from his back.
At this time, in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, the interrogation had entered a white-hot stage.
Wang Decheng's attitude was extremely tough, "Fake the land, the account book is fake, and the post is fake. Someone wants to frame me. From top to bottom, there are countless officials who handle the money and food in Chundi. They all put together to frame me."
Pei Xun, the Minister of Justice, was still a little sick. In the Ministry of Justice, he was the king of heaven. He knew everything that happened in the prison. After Wang Decheng changed his cell, his attitude became more and more tough. The mystery of this was quite interesting, so he was not annoyed by Wang Decheng at all, but said, "Let Wang Decheng shut up and stand aside."
"Bring Liu Jiangqing up."
Liu Jiangqing had been taken away from his official clothes and came to the lobby wearing a prison clothes. The inspector who was respected the day before yesterday, but the city lieutenant suddenly became a prisoner under the ranks today, which made Liu Jiangqing, who was full of grievances, extremely sad and angry.
"Liu Jiangqing, as a city lieutenant, you are a military inspector, and you are a military inspector. You know the rules. Tell me, what happened to this account book I received from Chanzhou?"
Liu Jiangqing was a teacher from Shishan. He was very eloquent and made his trip to Chanzhou clearly. The clerk in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice used his pens as he was flying. He only felt that it was really comfortable to record for Liu Jiangqing, and there was no common nonsense.
Pei Xun didn't ask again and said, "Bring the sergeant up."
When Pei Xun saw the sergeant who came in glance at Liu Jiangqing with his eyes, he said, "Don't be afraid, I dare not hurt you here. I will ask you and answer you. If you talk nonsense, please serve me."
The soldier looked at the yamen officer standing beside him and knelt down in fear.
As Pei Xun asked, Liu Jiangqing's face became paler. His father Liu Hongye Shuanglang's laughter suddenly appeared in his mind. His sister Liu Jiangjie was angry and was far away from Shishan's wife and children. The figures of these people flashed through his mind.
"After the third update, a sudden visitor, Liu Jiangqing, what are you doing?"
Liu Jiangqing felt a lightning bolt jump out of the clouds. He was really afraid of anything he would come. He scolded Liu Miyan's eighteen generations in his heart and said, "That's an old friend who met by chance on the way."
"Who is this person?"
"This person is named Liu Wuxin. He is a Xianyun Sanhe. I don't know where he is now."
"Liu Wuxin, huh, who is from?"
"I don't know who I met by chance."
Pei Xun patted the gavel heavily and said, "Who is the visitor? Liu Jiangqing must confess honestly, otherwise he will not be able to escape the serious crime."
Liu Jiangqing looked for Wu Ruogu's figure with his eyes, but Wu Ruogu lowered his head expressionlessly and did not look at Liu Jiangqing at all. Liu Jiangqing was born as a teacher in Shishan and had always been proud. Now Wu Ruogu has become the minister of the Secretariat, Chen Ziteng has become his Majesty's personal follower, and he is also a inspector with a knife. The difference between the two made Liu Jiangqing quite embarrassed. When he saw Wu Ruogu like this, he bowed his head and said nothing.
Pei Xun threw two wooden strips on the ground, and four tall and long yamen officials walked out of the column. Beating people was their profession, and their careers were fought for several years, making their cooperation as smooth as flowing water.
With the dull "crackling" sound, Liu Jiangqing's clothes were red. He bit him without saying a word. When the execution was completed, Liu Jiangqing actually stood up with difficulty.
Wang Decheng was a literati. After receiving special care from Hou Dayong, he was not served by sticks. At this time, when he saw Liu Jiangqing being beaten, his legs began to tremble.
Another soldier was brought up, and the procedure was taken away again as before.
"Do you know the visitor?"
The soldier raised his head, looked at Liu Jiangqing, and said, "I know, that is Liu Miyan, a Qingke from Lord Zan Jurun's mansion."
A stone stirred up a thousand waves. Yang Zhiyi, the Minister of Dali Temple, Dou Yan, the Chief Censor of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Ruogu and others all raised their heads.
Pei Xun was also surprised. He had already questioned the two soldiers privately, but the two soldiers only said that someone was visiting Liu Jiangqing at night, but said that they did not know the visiting people. Now that they arrived in the hall, the little soldiers actually pointed directly at Liu Miyan from Zan Mansion.
Pei Xun lowered his face and said, "How do you know Liu Miyan?"
"I am a soldier under Inspection Commissioner Liu. I have been patrolling in the Nancheng District for a long time. I have seen Liu Miyan and knew that he was a guest of the Zan Mansion." The soldier had a very slight smile on his face and said, "Be careful, stupid. I have been thinking about who the visitor is, but I have never thought about it. When I came here today and saw so many adults, I suddenly remembered that the visitor was Liu Miyan, the guest of Lord Zan."
Pei Xun saw that the soldiers were not afraid when they spoke, and vaguely felt that this was a trap.
The learned Censor Dou Yan, the learned man, was very impulsive. He stood up and pointed at the soldiers and said, "You dare to defile the important officials of the court, drag it down first and fight again."
Another wave of sticks flying.
The soldier did not have the demeanor of Liu Jiangqing and screamed endlessly. After the yamen officials forced him to stand up, the soldier cried and said loudly: "It must be Liu Miyan from Lord Zan's mansion, I will not admit his mistake."
Liu Jiangqing was no longer looking disgusted. This sergeant was an extremely ordinary sergeant under his command and did not speak much. Liu Jiangqing rarely paid attention to him. He did not expect that this person would come to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
The case was in trouble again, and Pei Xun decisively retreated from the hall, and everyone retreated into the back hall.
Pei Xun rubbed his temples and said, "Mr. Zan is an important official. We cannot decide on this matter. We should ask several prime ministers to decide."
The Chief Censor Dou Yan nodded and said, "This matter involves the Zan Mansion and cannot be delayed. Let's go to the Secretary of the Central Committee now to see which prime minister is taking the turn."
Wu Ruogu whispered: "Today is worth it."
