As a former assassin, Li Chuncheng found his old friends and asked if they had received a reward order for assassinating a ghost general. The assassins were dumbfounded and told Li Chuncheng that no assassin in the entire empire would accept a reward order for assassinating a ghost general. Because
Because no one dares to pay this kind of money. For assassins, it is natural to kill people to make money, but the prerequisite is not to kill the country's loyal and good people. Zhang Xiaowu was the pillar of the North to defend against foreign aggression and expel the Quanyi Kingdom. Except for the Quanyi, there is no Central Plains person who betrays the country and seeks glory and offers a reward for assassination.
Ghost general.
After a month of detailed investigation, Ruan Qingwen finally found out the true identity of the group of assassins who assassinated Zhang Xiaowu. The process not only shocked him, but also found it ridiculous. But the assassins who assassinated Zhang Xiaowu came from the bottom of Yumafang.
A rascal.
Yumafang is a relatively poor city among the seventy-two outer villages. The people living here are all coolies or porters, earning hard money every day. They often have one meal and don’t know where the next one will be. In Yumafang
Finding a few desperadoes is easy, but desperadoes can kill people for money, and they can also betray their employers for money.
Ruan Qingwen just spent a little money and got the information he wanted. The person who hired Zhang Xiaowu to assassinate was Lang Yuntian, the second-grade Duke of Shahe. He served as the walking official of the imperial study room, and he was just a junior from the eighth-grade.
Although he was an official, he was very well-informed. When he learned that Zhang Xiaowu had killed the old nanny of the Queen Mother Zhang, he hatched a plan.
Lang Yuntian's son is already eighteen years old. He will take the imperial examination in the third year of Dade next year. Now he has become a student under Zhang Kuan's son Zhang Biao. So Lang Yuntian asked his housekeeper to hire thugs to beat Zhang Xiaowu.
, but Zhang Xiaowu killed several people. The gangsters quit and asked Lang Yuntian for money and compensation. Lang Yuntian had to pay a large sum of money, losing his wife and losing his troops.
But the funny thing is that when such a murder and important case happened, the Longdu government office seemed to know nothing about it and ignored it. When Ruan Qingwen sent someone to report the case and inquired about it, the reply he got was: "Since you are fine, please be lenient."
, there are dozens of cases every day in Longdu, and we are short of manpower."
Ruan Qingwen knew the rules in the yamen. First, they took the initiative to ask for bribes. Second, they were unwilling to take the case and put it off as long as they could. He immediately reported the matter to Zhang Xiaowu in full.
Zhang Xiaowu never expected that the third-grade military general of the current dynasty was almost ambushed because an eighth-grade noble official wanted to cling to others. This shows that in the hearts of the noble officials, the common people are just useless people who serve them and can be killed at any time. And Long.
The indifferent approach of the government office also made him realize that even if he did not want to deal with his political opponents for the time being, his political opponents would never give up on him.
So Zhang Xiaowu wrote a memorial about the whole incident and reported it directly to the emperor. The memorial was first delivered to the imperial study. When the bachelors in the imperial study saw it, they were stunned. They did not expect that a small walking official wanted to assassinate a third-rank official.
Military general. (Currently a fifth-grade military general)
Lang Yuntian walked into the imperial study room holding a stack of seal memorials. When he saw everyone looking at him in surprise, he was stunned and asked: "My lords, is there anything strange about this official?"
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and ignored him.
Lang Yuntian felt baffled. After walking out of the door, he suddenly saw a note in his book bag: "Run away immediately!"
No matter how bad a person is, he has a few friends. Lang Yuntian naturally has familiar friends in the imperial study room on weekdays, but his friends dare not reveal the truth. But Lang Yuntian recognized the handwriting. It was written by his best friend, and he suddenly felt cold.
After returning home, he immediately fled with his family.
The memorial was sent to Emperor Dade. A third-rank official of the current dynasty was ambushed by a group of thugs, and several lawsuits were filed against him. Such a major event happened at the feet of the emperor. In the end, it was the silver-clad guards who found out by themselves.
The murderer, Emperor Dade, became furious after learning the details. He immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, severely reprimanded Yin Shaoxue of Longdu Prefecture, and ordered the left prime minister Zhang Kuan to personally supervise all officials involved in the "Assassination Case".
.
Zhang Kuan was extremely embarrassed. Lang Yuntian was so flattering that he would inevitably end up with his house confiscated and beheaded. After the incident, Shaoxue seemed to be unaware of the incident but secretly agreed to it and asked the government officials to cooperate. He was just a bastard.
Extremely.
No matter how much Zhang Kuan cared about his students, he had to be punished for this matter. He could no longer hold the position of Longdu Prefect. Zhang Kuan asked Shaoxue to be dismissed as Longdu Prefect and demoted four levels in a row.
He went to Wuguan County to serve as the county magistrate. However, Lang Yuntian was captured in Pingan County and brought back to Longdu. As expected, he was executed and his family was exiled to the south. The women in his family were put into Jiaofangsi and were kept as slaves and prostitutes forever.
Zhang Xiaowu was never reluctant, although he knew that Shao Xue must have secretly helped Lang Yuntian. But it was unrealistic to force Zhang Kuan to kill his student, and it would cause a huge backlash from the Zhang Party. On the contrary, it was
Zhang Biao found Zhang Xiaowu and wanted to plead for his student and spare his life. Zhang Xiaowu said: "
Mr. Zhang doesn’t need to think too much. I accept whatever the court punishes the Zhang family, and I will not find anyone to exterminate the family for revenge. It’s just that I need to kill chickens to scare monkeys. A small eighth-grade official dares to kill me. If I don’t scare him this time
After killing them, will the Chao Gang be in chaos soon? I think that the assassination of me must not have been ordered by the Prime Minister."
Zhang Biao said: "My father would never do such a thing to disrupt the country. He regards the rules and regulations as everything. How can he allow such a traitor to disrupt the country and only pity his only son for his talent and learning? Alas..."
"Nine out of ten people are unhappy in life. It is easy to die but not easy to live." Zhang Xiaowu said. After sending Zhang Biao away, the silver-clad guards began to prepare to deal with the government officials.
For the Silver Guards, the yamen and gangsters usurped their jobs and caused chaos in the urban management of Longdu City, which was the source of evil. The policy of the yamen and gangsters in Longdu Prefecture was the foundation of Shaoxue. Zhang Xiaowu took action to deal with Shaoxue.
The purpose is to disband the government officials and gangsters.
Zhang Xiaowu reported his urban management plan for Longdu City to Emperor Dade. After thinking about it, Emperor Dade selected Liang Nan from among many candidates to serve as the new Governor of Longdu City and gave him a face-to-face interview.
Liang Nan is the least favored among the six candidates provided by the Ministry of Personnel, because Liang Nan is the magistrate of Wuguan County, from the sixth rank, while the governor of Longdu Prefecture is from the fourth rank, which is equivalent to a winning streak.
Level 4. Shaoxue was demoted to level 4 because he made a big mistake and Liang Nan did nothing.
, how could he win four levels in a row? The reason why the officials put him and others together before the emperor was because Shaoxue was demoted to Wuguan County as the county magistrate, and Liang Nan had to be transferred or promoted. In order to stand out
The person they selected was also included in the candidate list.
After seeing Liang Nan being selected as the governor of Longdu, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the left and right ministers were dumbfounded. This... Your Majesty, are you kidding me?
Emperor Dade laughed and said: You were the one who made the joke first!
