Chapter Fourteen
I will ruin my life and be haggard, and only a few dusks will last?
...
Seeing Ronghua accepting the gold ingots, Yang and Zhao exchanged their eyes and there was a way! Then Zhao Bingjun spoke: "Ronghua, what do I treat you?"
"The kindness of a villain treats a villain as much as a mountain, and it is difficult for a villain to repay his cattle and horse in the next life."
Yang Shiqi had a head full of chins, Zhao Bingjun also smiled slightly, and continued: "I have something I want to ask you to do now, you can see..."
"If you have a good friend, you will be punished with a bone."
After listening to Zhao Bingjun's slow speech, Ronghua took a breath and fell to his knees "splash": "My benefactor, this matter is a bit difficult..."
"Don't be afraid. My brother is worse than death now, and it's better to be liberated as soon as possible. After the matter is done, I will still have a great reward."
Ronghua kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, sir, villain really dare not..."
"Ronghua, my face, isn't Lord Yang's appreciation enough?"
"My benefactor, benefactor, this is not what the villain means."
Zhao Bingjun stood up with a murderous look on his face: "I don't care if this means it. I can save your family, and I can destroy your family... You can do this yourself."
Yang Shiqi advised him: "It's not difficult to do this. It's always normal to go through water. Everyone in the Great Palace has passed through water. Wouldn't you allow water to go through the Summer Palace? After the matter is completed, I will protect you from glory and wealth!"
Under all kinds of coercion and temptation, after fierce ideological struggle, Ronghua finally nodded in agreement.
After nightfall, Ronghua kept thinking about his thoughts during the day. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He was afraid, panicked, and was vaguely worried. Arson the West Hall? Just kidding! That was a crime of extermination. But what if he didn't do it?
It was not until midnight that he began to feel a little tired, but in a daze, he heard several barking dogs, and there were still footsteps coming in. What's going on? Before he could come back to his senses, the door of the house was knocked open, and several patrolmen rushed in, dragging him out of the bed without saying a word, and his wife screamed beside him.
Ronghua struggled hard, shouting, "What kind of king's law did I violate?"
"Wang Fa? Do you still know about Wang Fa? Someone has sued you long ago. Please follow us."
"Don't be slandering! I'm an imperial guard."
"The Imperial Guards cannot catch them?" The leader glanced at him, "You still dare to speak stubbornly!"
Someone was rummaging through the cabinets next to him and finally found a few things: "Captain, look."
"Look, this thing won't be forgotten so soon, right?" The leader waved the two gold ingots in front of Ronghua, "What a great mighty style, should the Imperial Guard have such things?"
Seeing that the handle was in the hands of others, the glory was gone, and the voice could no longer rise, and almost collapsed to the ground.
"take away!"
Turning the hour hand back a few hours ago, when Prince Su's mansion was in the study room, Shanqi suddenly came to report: "Prince, Lord Zhao is asking for a meeting."
"Zhi'an, what's the point of coming to find me so late?"
Unexpectedly, from a distance, Zhao Bingjun knelt down with a puff, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "The prince is here, please save Bingjun's life."
"Get up, get up." Shanqi was stunned, "Zhi'an, why are you so panicked?"
"Prince, you must save me!" Zhao Bingjun lay on the ground and refused to get up.
"Get up and talk, let's make the matter clear, I'll think of a solution for you."
Zhao Bingjun then thrust and told the story of bribing Ronghua: "Prince, one is Yang Shiqi and the other is Yuan Keding. They joined forces to threaten me with the handle in their hands, asking me to work hard for them and find someone to burn the Summer Palace."
"What? Take it seriously?" Shanqi was stunned on the spot, in surprise, unable to speak.
"It's true! Yuan Shikai and Yang Shixiang were both direct governors and ministers of Beiyang back then. They were kind to the ministers and gave them many gifts over the years. Over the years, they also had more than 100,000 taels of silver. Now the emperor is checking the old accounts in Beiyang. These two people are panicking, fearing that their crimes will be exposed, so they threatened me with this, saying that if I don't think of a solution, they will shake my scandal first." Zhao Bingjun climbed up two steps forward, "Prince, I'm confused! I regret it! But this is a serious crime of extermination, how dare I do it? Please save my life for the sake of the humble official's follower!"
"Has this been initiated?"
"Not yet! I only look for people and take action when he returns to the Summer Palace tomorrow."
"Since that's the case." Shanqi ordered decisively, "Catch Ronghua immediately!"
"Zhi'an, it's not me that I'm talking about you. Cash collection is just an ordinary thing. How can you do such a confused thing? If something really happens, even I will be implicated."
"A low-ranking crime, death penalty!"
"I won't be a death sentence! It's a great achievement now. The emperor will plead for you. As for the 100,000 taels of silver, I will hand it over at that time. It's fine if I give it a warning." Shanqi stamped his feet angrily, "Yang Shiqi, Yuan Keding, you are so brave!"
Looking at Shanqi's anger, the light in Zhao Bingjun's eyes flashed. Do you want to pull me into the water? I don't know who will go into the water first!
Almost as soon as Zhao Bingjun went to Prince Su's mansion, the Yangxin Palace was quite strange.
"Emperor, Yang Shiqi, Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, asked for a meeting."
"Yang Shiqi? What are he here to do?" Lin Guangyu put down his memorial, "Why do you still have to enter the palace when you are at night?"
"Report to the emperor, the access control has been blocked, but Lord Yang said that there is a huge urgent matter. If you dare not report it, your head will fall to the ground tomorrow."
"So serious?" The emperor felt strange, "He came in."
"Report to the emperor, Lord Yang is still a little weird!"
"What's weird?" Lin Guangyu saw clearly as soon as Yang Shiqi came in. Sure enough, it was a bit weird - he came in with his own hands.
"Yang Shiqi, what's going on? Why are you like this..." Before the emperor could finish asking, the other party was already crawling on the ground, "Please save more than 100 lives from the Yang Mansion."
"Get up and say something, please tell me, Wang Shang, let Lord Yang loosen his ties."
Yang Shiqi explained the whole story and the emperor was shocked that there was such a bold person? He actually wanted to buy the Imperial Guards!
Yang Shiqi said while crying: "Your Majesty... God is pitiful... My brother just misappropriated millions of taels of silver and would not die. Moreover, these holes were left by Yuan Shikai back then. Even if there were many things in it, he always did business or made friends with Shangguan, and he had no trace of his personal pocket. Zhao Bingjun and Yuan Keding, two dog thieves, tried every means to kill others in order to clear their crimes. Nothing is said, "At this moment, Yang Du died, and if he didn't die, he would die! It would be better to go back to the Pure Land early!"
"What kind of physical evidence, personal evidence?"
"The glory of the Imperial Guards on duty in the Summer Palace is a witness. There are two gold ingots left by his ministers, and there is a stamp of the Risheng Pills underneath."
"Wang Shang, the Imperial Guards promptly arrest Ronghua and must search carefully and not hurt his life."
"Zhe!" Wang Shangyan left, looking at his departure back, Yang Shiqi felt a little proud and said, "Yuan Keding, Zhao Bingjun, you two bastards, want to force me to submit? I will do it for you to show you."
Staring at Yang Shiqi's strange face, the emperor thought...
The Imperial Guards were obviously a beat slower. When they arrived, there was no trace of glory besides the messy and crying family members on the ground?
"Have the patrol officer arrested?" The matter became more and more strange. What's going on? The patrol officer dared to arrest the imperial guards?
At midnight, the palace was bright and the old mansion was exhausted. He was interrogating Ronghua in the lobby, and there were a series of patrol policemen below.
"Prince, Prince!" The concierge rushed over, "The Imperial Guard is here!"
"What?" Shanqi was shocked. Before he could speak, the guards with live ammunition had already entered one after another.
"Prince!" The officers leading the team were also quite troubled. Although the Imperial Guards were not under the jurisdiction of the patrol police, Prince Su personally asked about this matter but was very serious. After thinking about it, the emperor's orders were above his power, and he couldn't help himself. Not to mention the prince's mansion, even the dragon and tiger den had to break through. He made up his mind and rushed in with his men.
When they saw the master below the stairs, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prince also had an explanation in front of him. The queen of beating Qian said respectfully: "The emperor has an order to arrest Ronghua and bring him to justice. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the prince and hoped to forgive him."
Shanqi also breathed a sigh of relief - the Imperial Guards were not here to make trouble for themselves! But how did the emperor know about this?
The leader only said that he came by the emperor's order, but he couldn't figure out the whole story. Seeing the imperial guards coming, Zhao Bingjun, who had already had an ominous premonition, felt that the disaster was coming, and his back was sweating profusely. Although it was still in the winter weather, his underwear was so wet that it could squeeze out water, his body shivered and shrank into a ball.
Shanqi's eyes first swept over Ronghua kneeling on the ground, then swept over Zhao Bingjun who was huddled in the chair, and nodded thoughtfully: "Since the emperor has the order, I should do it as I want!"
"Thank you, Prince!" The officer waved his hand, and the two of them had already set up Ronghua, who had tied up all the flowers and said, "Take it away!"
"Prince!" Zhao Bingjun could no longer bear it and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "Save Bei Zhi's life!"
"I want to live with the emperor and ask for it, and take it away together!" Shanqi swung his sleeves and prepared to enter the palace.
