Chapter 639 Return to the Ancient Abyss Mountain in the Sky above the Moon (Part 1)
This huge carnival gradually calmed down after Qin Siyuan entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The clouds left and the sky cleared. Next to a courtyard next to the Tianlao, the sun shone down in the gaps between the trees. People were crowded, and the stench and bloody smell were permeated. While walking, Ning Yi took a bucket of water to the
He was lying on his body. There was blood on his forehead. He pursed his lips tightly and waved away the hand of a servant who knew medical skills.
"I'm fine! Go and show them! Let them wash their bodies, especially those who are injured, and don't let dirt get into the wounds!" He walked aside and said, "Where are the other doctors? Why haven't they come yet?"
In the huge chaos on the street, all kinds of things were flying around. Although the people around Ning Yi had wooden signs and even shields to block them, they still suffered some injuries. The injuries ranged from mild to severe, but the seriously injured person was basically Qin Yi.
Some of the children of the family.
When things got to this point, some people were angry and some were crying, but Ning Yi couldn't stop. He quickly arranged various things, and when more doctors came over, he sat aside and had his forehead massaged.
After applying some medicine, in fact, compared to the brutality on the battlefield, this small superficial wound was nothing.
In the distance, passers-by passed by the street corner. They took a few glances from that side and did not dare to come this way. Firstly, it looked too miserable, and secondly, it smelled very bad.
Not long after, a guard came over. He was soaked with water, but his eyes were still red. He walked up to Ning Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "My boss, I am doing these things now.
Why?"
The martial artists who join Bamboo Ji are mostly from the private sector, and have experienced more or less oppressive lives. However, the experience of what is happening in front of them is really different. People who practice martial arts have relatively upright personalities, and it is difficult to endure humiliation on weekdays.
What's more, after doing so many things, he was thrown mud and feces. When he asked this question, his voice was quite high. Most of the other Zhuji guards also had this idea. In recent times, these people
Most of them probably have past intentions in their hearts, and being able to stay is basically out of respect for Ning Yi. After these days in Zhuji, there is no urgent need for livelihood and money.
Ning Yi pursed his lips and stood up. Everyone's words were quieter. The weak Qin family disciples next to him also cheered up. Some were still crying, but they stopped crying.
"You all want to ask this question." Ning Yi's answer was simple, "For the two men inside."
He pointed to the Tianlao and said calmly: "You know what they have done, and you also know what they would be like without us today. You have water and doctors now, and you have to treat them in the Tianlao."
Although it’s not harsh, it’s not about getting what you want. Think about them, it’s your lifetime honor to be like this to protect them.”
After he finished speaking, he sat down next to him. No one around him said anything. They turned around after a moment and started doing what they were doing. The guard standing next to him wiped the water on his face, turned around and walked towards
While helping people bandage, my steps and hands were much firmer.
This sentence gave people a strange feeling here. The sunlight seeped down and the light seemed to be sublimating. An injured young man from the Qin Mansion asked beside him: "Then... what should the third grandfather do? What about uncle Shao Qian?"
What to do?"
"I have sent people in to take care of it." Ning Yi sat there and reassured. "It's okay."
After a while, a group of people came over from the other side of the road. It was Tie Tianying who led the group. He came closer and covered his nose with his hand: "They look loyal, but they are actually traitors. You can see what the people want."
Is it good? How does it feel to be a treacherous dog? Why don't you beat people arrogantly today? I'm wearing the shackles." Some of his detectives were old fat men, and they were provocative in this way.
After Ning Yi's previous words, everyone became calm now and only looked at them with indifferent eyes. Only Zhu Biao walked up to Tie Tianying, stretched out his hand to wipe the water on his face, and stared at him for a moment.
He paused and said, "I can beat you ten times if you look like this."
"Okay, if you and I are right, come if you have the guts!" Tie Tianying sneered.
Zhu Biao spat, turned around and went back.
His character has been restrained a lot, and he also knows that it is impossible to really fight. Warriors in the capital often have private fights, but as the chief arrester, Tie Tianying is basically forbidden to fight privately, and he talks too much.
It's not interesting. Let's deal with it here for a while. After Wen Ren arrives, Ning Yi will go with him to find Tang Ke, Li Gang and others to let them respond and deal with today's events.
Ning Yi may be mentally prepared for the possibility that Qin Siyuan will be smeared and even paraded on the street, but he always feels that it is still far away. Of course, there is also a part of him who is not comfortable thinking about it. At this time, the cost of inciting the people is not high, but it is too difficult to stop it.
, if Ning Yi and others want to take precautions, they can only ask the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate and transport Qin Siyuan back and forth as secretly as possible. However, the Ministry of Punishment is currently in the hands of Wang Fu. This guy is famous for his ignorance, short-sightedness and revenge. Let’s not say who is the mastermind of this incident.
Who, Wang Fu must have had a hand in it.
But everyone was an official, and the matter was so big, and Qin Siyuan didn't even fight back, everyone was bound to die. Li Gang, Tang Ke and others went to the court to discuss the matter, and they had a foundation to stand on. And even Zhou Zhe
If you want to overthrow Qin Siyuan, the best you can do is smile in secret this time. On the surface, you still can't let the situation escalate further.
After looking for the person I was looking for, I returned to Zhuji that night. There were still a lot of things to deal with. Not only were the various problems in Jingli, the handover of the Secret Investigation Department was also carried out on a large scale, and the scope of the handover was
It has expanded far to other places. That night, there was a very good moon in Beijing.
On the same night, after leaving Bianliang and heading south about three hundred miles via the Grand Canal, heavy rain was pouring down on a tributary of the Huaihe River near Bozhou on Huainan Road.
In the darkness, a two-story building boat was parked on the bank of the Huaihe River where the water was suddenly swollen. It was already early in the morning, and the lights in several rooms on the boat had not yet been turned off.
In the room, a young woman wearing a coat was working. She was filing a large amount of information. When she felt sleepy, she rubbed her forehead and glanced outside. Then she opened the door and closed the door, and went down the corridor on the ship to the kitchen to get some.
Eat and take a walk.
In a small forest several hundred meters away from the building, a group of people wearing raincoats were secretly advancing. After the building was brought into view, someone pointed in this direction and made a few gestures.
After sneaking to the side of the building boat in secret, they quickly boarded the boat and rushed inside. At this time, the warriors in the building boat also discovered them.
"Who! Stop!"
"Six Doors handles cases and takes over the Secret Investigation Department. I am the chief arrester Zong Feixiao! You can't stop me."
"Stop! If you come here in the middle of the night, who knows if it's a bad guy?"
The blades of the knife collided several times in the dark night, and people rushed out of the cabin one after another. The young woman in the kitchen threw away the pancakes in her hands and started rushing to the second floor! She quickly returned to the room, lowered the door latch, and looked up.
Look at the information piled up in the room.
"Madam boss, this is Zong Feixiao from the Criminal Department! What should I do?" someone asked outside the door.
"Stop him. Stop him for as long as you can!"
As she spoke, she dragged a charcoal basin over, poured oil into it, and lit the fire.
After Qin Siyuan was imprisoned, the Secret Investigation Department changed hands. The leader of the imperial court was a great eunuch named Wang Chongguang. This man was the head of an intelligence agency run by the emperor. After Qin Siyuan founded the Secret Investigation Department and put it on hold, Zhou Zhe was inspired.
, and asked Wang Chongguang to set up a similar organization. The purpose was not external, but internal monitoring of the court officials under his command.
Zhou Zhe's idea may have come from a sudden inspiration, but people's talents vary. Qin Siyuan was able to run the secret investigation department because he had a group of like-minded friends around him and had enough wealth. Wang Chongguang could only pull the emperor's tiger skin, and
At this time, the eunuch's status was not high. Although Zhou Zhe asked him to do things, the emperor essentially did not trust the eunuch. For example, if Wang Chongguang dared to knock a bamboo pole on a minister, he would go to Zhou Zhe to complain. Zhou Zhe
Perhaps he would have seen through his thoughts first. In the end, this intelligence organization was just a stunted small yamen with no real power. Only then did Zhou Zhe take it out and let him take over the secret investigation department.
Inheritance, and because there are not many manpower, the Ministry of Punishment has mobilized people to cooperate.
At this time, Ning Yi had already made up his mind to change hands to the Secret Investigation Department, and most things went smoothly. However, Su Tan'er also intervened in the affairs of the Secret Investigation Department. The two had been getting along for a long time, and their thinking styles were in sync, so Ning Yi set out to the north.
When it comes to things, let Su Tan'er take care of the south side. Su Tan'er's ship does not belong to the Secret Investigation Department. However, Zhu Ji's focus has shifted. She is doing things that are inconvenient for Ning Yi. The information is now classified
, has little relationship with the Secret Investigation Department, but if it is arbitrarily confiscated by the Criminal Department, the consequences can be big or small. Ning Yi secretly plans various businesses, and there are many shady ones. If they are caught, it will be a handle.
As one of the chief arrests of the Criminal Department, Zong Feixiao intuitively thought that there was something fishy about the smooth handover of the Secret Investigation Department. He checked twice and found that Su Tan'er was staying here, so she must be causing trouble. He was the same, too.
By accident, he really found Ning Yi's weak spot. As soon as he entered the building ship, he charged all the way up.
In the room, the little woman threw the information into the charcoal basin, but it was not burning quickly. Chaos and shouts came from below. She suddenly kicked down the charcoal basin, and then overturned a shelf next to the door.
Zong Feixiao's tall figure has rushed to the door: "Open the door! Come out!"
"Help, I'm in trouble"
There were shouts from inside the door. Zong Feixiao drew his sword and slashed. There was a clang, and the door panel and the door latch inside were actually made of iron.
"Come out and open the door! Otherwise you will be punished!" Zong Feixiao shouted, while people from both sides rushed over to try to stop him.
In the room, the little woman stepped back and pushed the shelf next to her that held documents into the fire. The pieces of paper were flying, her face turned red, and the flames began to lick the surroundings. She stretched out her feet to throw away the fallen papers.
The pile was also pushed into the fire.
The sweat on her cheeks had begun to ooze out. She stared at the room, and saw that the door was already burning. Just like that, she opened the window, and the heat wave in the room suddenly rushed to this side, and she felt a rush in her heart.
Shocked, he didn't have time to think too much and jumped out.
It was raining heavily outside and the river was overflowing. She jumped into the water and was swallowed by the darkness.
There were people on the boat yelling and shouting, and not long after, people jumped into the river one after another.
Half of the ship burned in the night, and it was only after a long time that it was destroyed by the heavy rain...
******************
On April 24th, in the Imperial City of Bianliang, in the Jinluan Hall, a group of people wrote a letter to remonstrate with Qin Siyuan about the treatment he received the day before. However, due to the complexity of the matter, some people insisted that this was what the people wanted, and no results could be reached from the discussion that day.
However, the escort route for Qin Siyuan's interrogation can be changed tacitly to prevent the old man from being tortured to death before the trial.
With Li Gang, Tang Ke and others active among them, Ning Yi also struggled to find a carriage to take the old man to Dali Temple that day, but the news was still revealed later. On the way back, he was blocked by a group of scholars, but
Fortunately, the carriage was strong and was not damaged by the stones thrown.
After the grand anti-corruption activity on the 23rd day, the enthusiasm of the scholars in the city for the crusade against Qin Siyuan was already high. Firstly, it was patriotic, and secondly, everyone would brag about it. Therefore, many people were waiting on the road ready to throw some
What, scold something. The sudden change of things made them quite unwilling. That night, two more Zhuji restaurants were smashed, and the place where Ning Yi lived was also smashed. Fortunately, they got the news in advance, so everyone had no choice but to
Return to live in Ning Mansion.
On April 25th, the sky was about to rain, so Ning Yi found a carriage to pick up Qin Siyuan, and also arranged a few cars as a cover to hide from others. When the carriage arrived at Dali Temple, it was too late for everyone to vent their anger, so they had to yell. When they left,
, several carriages returned to the Ministry of Justice in different directions. Although the real carriages were guarded by jailers, Ning Yi also sent people to act as jailers. During the battle of wits between the two sides, the man behind the incitement did not show weakness. He simply went on the way.
He yelled that they were lackeys and just smashed the whole carriage.
Several groups of scholars began to riot. Not many pedestrians participated this time, but the Zhuji guys were still in an extremely embarrassed state. When they returned to the small river outside Ning Mansion to gather, some people were still splashed with water.
The excrement has been washed away with water. Ning Yi and others are waiting for their return under the tree here. They are also talking to the staff next to them.
"...If everything goes well, Chao Shang may allow the Right Prime Minister to live in Dali Temple today. By then, the situation can ease a bit. I think the trial is about to be concluded..."
"I just don't know what the punishment will be."
"You won't kill the Second Young Master if you travel for three thousand miles. If you keep an eye on the road, you might be able to save your life..."
"There is another branch of the Secret Investigation Department, which has already made a handover with the Criminal Department..."
"Let's see... several chief officers of the Criminal Department took action, and all the meat was actually eaten by them. Wang Chongguang didn't catch anything. We can start from here..."
While they were talking, a staff member who had participated in the previous incident came over and said, "My boss, there are so many rumors outside that have seriously hurt the right minister. Why don't we let the storyteller explain it."
"It's no use at the moment."
"It's always useful. We have a lot of storytellers. Let them speak, and the effect is very good. If you want to publicize it, then come to them!"
"What if we arrest them all?" Ning Yi glanced at him and said, "They will all be arrested. They are still useful, but I can't risk them."
"Then... let the right minister and the others be smeared like this..."
"The problem is that you can't help it!"
Ning Yi said these words categorically, and the man went down. At this time, Tie Tianying led the policeman and walked quickly towards this side. Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced, this time Tie Tianying
The eagle's expression was quite different, staring at him solemnly.
There is a small open space next to the back door of Ning Mansion and by the river, so Ning Yi asked everyone to gather here to clean and make corrections. Seeing Tie Tianying coming over, he sat down by the fence under the tree: "Tie Captou
, what’s wrong? What else are you going to say?”
Tie Tianying walked to the side, holding his sword in both hands: "Have a look."
"Oh, do you want to enjoy the shade? The scenery here is nice, you can do it yourself."
Tie Tianying occasionally glanced at him.
He was confused about the purpose of the other party's coming, but he didn't say anything, and Ning Yi was too lazy to ask for trouble. He sat there, confronting Tie Tianying, and after a while he stood up and walked around, talking to the staff next to him.
To put it mildly, at a certain moment, someone came out of the back door of Ning's Mansion, but it was Juan'er. She leaned towards Ning Yi from behind and handed him a crumpled piece of paper: "Uncle."
Ning Yi was still talking to his staff, so he took over: "On the side of Guangyang County Prince, there will naturally be Tan Zhen..." He lowered his head and glanced, "There will be Mr. Tan..."
He took another look and picked up the note.
This time he looked at it for a long time, and the expression on his face was no longer relaxed. He seemed to be frozen. When he turned his head to look at Juan'er, Juan'er's face was full of tears. She was crying, but she didn't make a sound. Only then did she arrive.
: "Miss her, miss her..."
Ning Yi turned around and read the contents of the paper again. What was recorded there was what happened in Bozhou in the early morning of the 24th. Su Tan'er jumped into the water and her whereabouts are still unknown. It rained heavily in the Huaihe River and there were signs of flooding.
The search is still ongoing to find the whereabouts of the mistress...
Tie Tianying came over, with a cold face, he said in a deep voice: "It's just a misunderstanding, Ning Yi, don't mess around."
Juan'er was still crying. She stretched out her hand to pull Ning Yi, and when she saw the look in his eyes, she was also frightened: "Uncle, Miss, she...may not be fine, don't worry...don't worry..." she said
In the end, I couldn't help but cry.
When Juan'er pulled him, he raised his hands subconsciously, then took two steps back and sat on the railing.
No one has seen Ning Yi's expression at this time, and even Tie Tianying and others have never thought that one day he will show the hesitation and hollow feeling that belongs to a twenty-year-old young man. The surrounding Zhuji members
They were also a little panicked. They were whispering to each other. Several people had already walked out from the back door. Zhu Biao carried his spear on his back and walked over here. He put the spear down from behind and held it in his hand with the tip of the spear hanging to the ground.
The gun body made a low "buzzing" sound.
Someone walked over and asked the people who came out. They exchanged a few words, although they were said softly. But after a few words, everyone with inner strength could hear the words clearly.
"They... forced the mistress into the river..."
"Heavy rain...floods..."
"Not found yet..."
Some people looked sad, and some saw Ning Yi's expression. He pulled out the knife silently, and a hunchback walked near the detectives, stood with his head lowered, and pressed his hands on the handles of the two knives, far and near.
Yes, a few people gathered around him. They were either holding long knives on their chests or holding long swords on their backs. They didn't say anything.
Ning Yi, who was sitting there, raised his head and took a short breath. He blinked and seemed to be still digesting the contents of the note. After a while, he stood up with difficulty. Tie Tianying was there.
Not far ahead, I saw him closing his eyes and tightening his lips. The hesitation on his face faded away, but there was an undisguised look of sadness on his face.
The small square is quiet and deep, with tree trunks twisting upwards, and the shade of the trees stretches. Birds chirp from far away, and the sound of Bianliang City is hidden behind the shade of trees and flowers. It is a cloudy day, and there are no cicadas chirping in summer.
.There will be no more cicadas chirping.
Bang. The sound of a child playing with a slingshot came over, and the child laughed and ran away into the distance.
In the past few days, Youxiang Mansion and Zhu Ji have gone through countless things. Depression and aggrievement are not a problem. Even if someone throws excrement at them, everyone can only endure it. While the young people in front of them are running around, it will be difficult no matter how hard it is.
He never put down the burden on his shoulders. He just did things calmly and indifferently, as if he had turned himself into a machine. And everyone had a feeling that even if everything was twice as difficult, he would continue to do it in this indifferent way.
.
But at this moment, someone finally slapped him in the face at a crucial place.
Tie Tianying moved forward slowly, and with every step he took, he seemed to be one step closer to the edge of death. Even though Ning Yi in front of him did not show the slightest murderous intention, he felt a little numb.
"Ning Yi...you dare to act recklessly and kill everyone..."
Ning Yi raised his hand towards him, as if he wanted to do something to him. However, his hand stopped in mid-air, he clenched his fist slightly, then put it down again. He heard Ning Yi's voice: "I..."
He said.
"You..." the voice was as thin as a mosquito, "...you did a great job."
After saying this, Ning Yi raised his head, looking as if he was looking at him or looking at something else. He shook his head and nodded, then turned around and said: "...It's done beautifully. It's great...
..." He repeated this. He walked slowly towards the back door, crumpling the note in his hand into a ball. Juaner followed, wiping her tears: "Uncle, uncle." Everyone didn't know what to do for a while, Ning Yi stepped over
After entering the courtyard gate, he waved his hand, seeming to ask everyone to follow him in. The crowd was still confused, so he waved again, and everyone headed that way.
The spear stopped moaning and trembled and was raised up. Zhu Biao turned around with a gloomy face. Everyone else went to the door silently. Tie Tianying held the long sword and moved forward slowly. Ning Yi stood there expressionlessly.
, when the last person entered, he reached out to close the door, but then paused.
"Iron Catcher." The hoarse and low voice came from Ning Yi's throat.
"Um?"
"...If you have the head of Fang Qifu, I won't give it to you." He stated in a low voice, somewhat tiredly.
Tie Tianying raised his chin, not thinking of how to answer.
The door is closed.
****************
"Sir." A police officer came over.
"Are the people behind here coming?"
"We are almost there, sir. Why should we be afraid of him? If he really dares to take action, we will..."
"If he takes action, you will die." Tie Tianying's ferocious face suddenly turned away and he roared.
The detectives were startled, and Tie Tianying waved his hand: "Why don't you keep an eye on this place!"
…
In the Imperial City and Wende Hall, Zhou Zhe received the news. He looked at Wang Chongguang kneeling in front and felt like losing his temper.
But then I thought about it and started laughing.
"Forget it, find someone to keep an eye on him. If he wants to cause trouble, you have to deal with it." He smiled and said, "Hey, it's okay... Why should a man worry about not having a wife..."
…
In Bianliang City, someone also received the news about that side door.
"What a pity..." Cai Jing sighed.
"A wife is like clothes." Tong Guan from Guangyang County Prince's Mansion hesitated for a moment, "Stare at him and see what he chooses. Besides..."
He said: "Keep an eye on Wurui Camp."
In the prison, Qin Siyuan was ill. The old man was lying on the bed, looking at the light coming in from the small window. It was not a sunny day, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, someone handed the day's meal and a few notes through the door. There was information that he could still know every day.
The capital is like a huge machine. Every day, countless gears are moving. When there is a small problem with one of the gears, no one can guess what the meaning is...
Click, click, click, click, click...
Far away from human traces, gears are moving. (To be continued)
