It’s not a big deal for Liu Qingfeng to do this. I suddenly realized that we had been making trouble for a day and didn’t tell others about our demands.

At this time, Zhao Laohu opened his door and looked kind and said that we were too impulsive yesterday and disturbed the two of you're making money by selling melons. I went back and thought about it. I guess there was a misunderstanding between you. If you have any requests, please raise them.

I said we owed Mr. Zhao Si’s money, and there was no way. Don’t you find a way to sell melons to pay off your debts? Mr. Zhao Si was confused and owed money? I wonder what the two of you are called, and where is it?

Liu Qingfeng said that it was not too good to be honest. We were two escorts from the Central Plains Escort Agency, so we could make a living.

Mr. Zhao said, it turns out that he is a brother of the Central Plains Escort Agency. I have a strong friendship with you boss. Why don’t you sell me my face?

I said okay, but face is more expensive than this car of watermelon. Mr. Zhao said it is not a big deal to always block the door, so you might as well offer a price.

Liu Qingfeng said that last year, my brothers gave someone a guarantee and borrowed 200 taels of silver from your house, but the borrower ran away.

Zhao Laohu said, it is natural to pay back the debt. Even if I come to the emperor, I will say that if you force yourself to stand up, it may not be in line with the rules of the world?

I said it was unruly, but on the one hand, you came to collect the contract before the contract expired, and on the other hand, I even discounted my brother's legs. I won't tell you the rules of the world. Let's talk about Article 70 of the Ming Dynasty Law, the crime of intentional injury.

Zhao Laohu threatened, don’t be shameless, don’t think that you have something to do with Shuntian Mansion, I can’t do anything to you.

I said, why don’t we discuss the crime of intimidation in the Ming Law?

Zhao Laohu was furious and slammed the door and left.

In the afternoon, General Manager Tian, ​​the Interior Office of the Escort Agency, came to Zhao's house and said that you two didn't work, why did you go here to make trouble? Mr. Zhao Si made a big fuss in the office of the boss in the morning, which made the boss very embarrassed.

I said Li Laifu was beaten by their people, and this matter has nothing to do with the escort agency. We will do it according to the rules of the world. Come on, Manager Tian will eat a piece of melon.

Manager Tian said unhappily, I can't afford to eat your melons. Three views, Xiao Liu, this is the capital city. You two are so noisy, it's a bit unreasonable, it will damage our escort agency's face. The boss asked me to invite you back.

Director Tian of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was promoted by the master. A few days ago, he had a quarrel with the master. He also published an article "On Execution" in the internal magazine, criticizing us and criticizing us.

Liu Qingfeng said, "Why don't we go back first?" I said, "You're scared." Liu Qingfeng said, "Why can you? I'll go into Zhao Si Mansion now."

With such a riot, everyone in the capital knew that the people from the Central Plains Escort Agency trapped Dongbatian Zhao Laohu in the mansion. For a moment, all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere. Some said that the Fourth Master Zhao snatched Liu Qingfeng's favor in the brothel, some said that we lost the gambling debt and owed the debt, etc.

Xie Delong also rushed over after hearing the news and said that there was no need to do this. If I really wanted to return the deed, I would like to ask someone to tell me something. It would be perfect if I wanted to make a quarrel. Now it is known to everyone in the city that two employees of the Central Plains Escort Agency sold sky-high watermelons in Dongcheng and wanted to slap Dong Batian in the face.

I said this was not only a matter of the deed, but my brother was beaten. If I didn't seek justice, I wouldn't be able to swallow my anger.

Having said that, after the morning court this morning, Eunuch Gao didn't know what he said to the emperor, and he also asked casually in the imperial study room. That morning, someone submitted a memorial saying that you, the supervisor of the Dengwenyuan, use your identity to oppress the people in the city, and suggest that you reduce the power of the Dengwenyuan. Now that Your Highness is not in the capital, I am afraid that someone will be used to make actions that are unfavorable to Your Highness.

I was so nervous that I didn't expect that Zhao Laohu would have such a relationship. Needless to say, behind this person

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Some people support me. When I make such a fuss, some people can't sit still.

I said that a real man works and works alone. This matter has nothing to do with the escort agency or Dengwenyuan. It is entirely my personal grudge with Zhao Laohu.

Xie Delong advised that the situation in the court is unstable now. Not long ago, Your Highness was ordered to investigate the Northern Zhou tribute horse case and pointed the finger at Eunuch Gao. I am afraid that Eunuch Gao will take advantage of this matter and make the matter worse, so that His Majesty will be wary of Dengwenyuan.

I asked, what is the tribute horse case?

It turned out that after the Northern Zhou Dynasty established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, it paid 5,000 war horses to the court every year. According to convention, the court would reward 500,000 taels of silver. Over time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty's tribute horses were inevitably inferior to the good ones, and they got some old, weak, sick and disabled horses, but they still asked for rewards according to good horses.

This was originally a diplomatic and etiquette exchange. The envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty bribed the Ministry of Rites, and the bigwigs of the Ministry of Revenue, and the court turned a blind eye to it. This was also a common practice. At that time, all the staff members of the office would all share some benefits and make everyone happy.

But Zhu Runze didn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he stabbed the matter out. The emperor was furious and sent him to investigate the matter thoroughly, investigated it over and over, and found Eunuch Gao's place.

Eunuch Gao was feeling uncomfortable and hated Dengwenyuan to the core. Now that I had a fuss, I finally got caught by him. After the morning court, I complained to the emperor. The emperor didn't say anything, but just asked as if nothing had happened.

But the Censorate smelled a different smell. It was only half a day before the impeachment memorial poured into the cabinet like snowflakes.

Originally, Dengwenyuan was a secret agency of the court. When handling affairs and cases, it was inevitable that they would not act according to the rules. Although the efficiency was improved, there were still many handles left. Although they were tolerant before, they would be overwhelming once they were launched.

I am not as old as Xie Delong for the dispute over the temple, so I asked what to do, should we quit?

Xie Delong pondered for a moment and made up his mind, "I have sent someone to inform His Highness and Chief Meng that the situation is now critical. Since he has done it, he should do it to the end. Since Dongbatian dares to dominate the world, his hands are not clean. Although this matter is a battle between the world, he is far away from the temple. I immediately mobilized the Dengwenyuan to thoroughly investigate the evidence of his illegal and evil deeds. Everything will be decided until His Highness comes back.

Xie Delong was unambiguous and did what he said. In less than half a day, rumors spread, saying that Dongbatian Zhao Laohu bullied men and women in the east of the city, forced good men to become prostitutes, and set up private punishment halls. There is also evidence that last year, the world would rebel, and Huang Xiaoyu's way to Beijing was the guarantor of Dongbatian.

The door-blocking incident between Liu Qingfeng and me became the official business of Dengwen Yuan to investigate Dong Batian's rebellion. Xie Delong made up for us overnight.

I thought the simple battle in the martial arts world was not expected to develop, and the water in the capital was too deep. Fortunately, Xie Delong was clean and neat, so he did not let those guys who had nothing to do all day long to catch too many tricks.

Three days later, Zhu Runze and Meng Yue returned to Beijing. After Zhu Runze entered Beijing, he immediately met the saint and apologized in front of His Majesty, and made a detailed report on Dong Batian's intention to rebel.

Dengwenyuan sent troops to surround Zhao's house, and surrounded Zhao's house.

In the Dengwen Courtyard, Zhu Runze, Meng Yue and several directors were discussing this matter. Zhu Runze said that he was still impulsive when doing things in three ways.

I said this caused trouble to Your Highness, it was because I was wrong, and I was willing to be punished. Zhu Runze waved his hand, this matter was over, and it was understandable that you were trying to get into trouble for your friends. I had nothing to blame you. But...

Zhu Runze inspected everyone and said, "We are a powerful tool for the country. We have great power and great responsibility, so we have more eyes to look around, and there will inevitably be mistakes in our actions. In the future, everyone must think twice before acting.

After the meeting, Zhu Runze kept me.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Zhu Runze said that you have completed your mission well in Xiliang. Now you are not doing well in the Central Plains Escort Agency. I originally wanted to get you a real job, but you did this for me.

I said I had caused trouble for Your Highness.

Zhu Runze said that I treat you as a brother, so don’t do this with me. You are upright in your values ​​and are unfair to your friends. I am also very pleased that if I have something to do in the future, I believe you will do this.

I was quite moved. I, Qin Sanguan, inherited the love of Your Highness in this life, and it is difficult to repay in three lives. Zhu Runze said, "That's all for three lives, I'm not a woman. Someone just suggested that I remove you from your supervisory position and be rejected by me. Do you know why?"

Please make clear.

Three views: You are a person who values ​​love, and I, Zhu Runze, are not a person who is ruthless and unrighteous. Now it is easy to find a capable minister, but it is difficult to find a friend who values ​​love and friendship.

I thought to myself that no matter what, I would definitely repay this kind of kindness of knowing what I had.

Xie Delong came in to report that everything was ready. Zhu Runze told me, let's go together. I wondered, what's the matter? Zhu Runze said, you always need an explanation for what you caused yourself, right?

It was late at night when I arrived at Zhao's house.

The lights outside Zhao's house were brightly lit. When the guards and soldiers of Dengwenyuan saw Zhu Runze, they all wanted to salute. Zhu Runze waved his hand and was spared. What was going on inside?

Our yard general Zhao's house had three floors. Not to mention humans, even a mosquito could not fly out. Zhu Runze asked, "What about the authenticity?" The guard was stunned and couldn't answer."

Everyone rushed into the yard, and Zhao's house was already in chaos. A burst of crying came from the inner house. It was no good, so the master committed suicide.

When he arrived at the inner courtyard, Zhao Laohu drank a glass of poisonous wine and was already dead. He searched all over Zhao's house, but he did not see the Zhao family's son. The head of the yard knelt down and his subordinates were not good at doing their jobs. Please punish him.

Zhu Runze's face was gloomy, and he patrolled in front of the Zhao family and ordered to confirm the evidence.

After a while, someone came to report and found an authentic tunnel under the inner bed, leading to the oil and salt shop thirty meters away. The oil and salt shop was not eye-catching, and Zhao Laohu had prepared this trick.

Xie Delong caught the servants and tortured them. Not long after, he learned that the person who committed suicide by drinking poison was not Zhao Laohu, but just a person with similar appearances.

His Highness, he found crossbows, armor, and the apricot yellow flag in the tunnel.

Zhu Runze gave several orders one after another, instructing the soldiers to count the Zhao family and his son, and then said, I will immediately pay the tribute to the saint.

After Zhu Runze left, Xie Delong said that we should not mention the three views tonight. I said that the Zhao father and son meant to be rebellious, and I would arrest the two of them at all costs.

Xie Delong sighed slightly, do you really think Zhao Laohu and his son are going to rebel?

How to interpret this statement?

Xie Delong said, these evidences were just made by our Dengwenyuan. If the Zhao father and son were punished, it would be okay. Now that they are absconding and not arresting him for a day, it will be a disaster.

I remained silent and said after a long time, I understood. Xie Delong said that you don’t have to blame yourself for this. It was our negligence in handling the case in the Dengwen Court. The evidence now is enough for Eunuch Gao to drink a pot of money.

Eunuch Gao was in court with King Qi and was extremely inconsistent with Dengwenyuan. This kind of palace battle was like walking on thin ice, and if one was not handled well, it would be easy to capsize the gutter.

As a king, I am not afraid of you being corrupt and abused. There is only one rebellion that cannot be touched by the ruler. Dengwenyuan’s operation is precisely this point. The only regret is to let the Zhao family and his son escape.
