In less than seven steps, Chen Yan's face turned pale and he was defeated. Chu Qing then stood up, stretched and turned around: "Stop."
Fu San and the four detectives stopped, while Jiang Bugao was curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp, with big footprints all over his body and blood on his face.
Jiang Bugao, who was beaten half-dead, not only did not beg for mercy, but also sneered angrily: "What a Qianqiying Yamen Office, there is no way..."
Chu Qing hugged his arms and said with a smile: "Brother, you are an official of the Ministry of Rites. If you come here to send a message, you are threatening me. It is true that I beat you. You can complain to your superior, minister or even the emperor that I beat you."
You, but have you ever thought about it, what are you going to say, why did you come to Qianqiying Yamen, saying that you were threatening me on behalf of Zhang Songling, weren't you threatening me? But the Ministry of Rites and Qianqiying Yamen can't fight each other.
"Relationship, what are you doing here? So, your beating was in vain. How about it, surprise or not, surprise or no surprise."
Fu San kicked Jiang Bugao's butt with his foot, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are a bitch, who are you to blame?"
Chen Yan walked over angrily and kicked Jiang Bugao in the chest.
"What's the point of howling in mourning? Howling when you get beaten will make me lose again."
Squatting down, Chen Yan roughly took out the wallet from Jiang Bugao's sleeve, dug out several banknotes, and threw them to Chu Qing angrily.
Chu Qing clicked the banknote and raised his chin at Chen Yan: "There are still three hundred coins left. In the bookkeeping, you lost six times."
Chen Yan kicked Jiang Bugao on the chest again: "Ever since the sixth grade, I have been carrying three ounces of money with me when I go out. What a shameful piece of shit."
Fu San showed contempt on his face.
I'm sorry to say this, but your real deputy commander of the Qianqi Camp only brought more than 500 coins with him when he went out, which was not as much as others' fractions.
Jiang Bugao felt aggrieved with a child weighing 140 pounds.
After being beaten, I can’t tell you that my money was robbed. Is this Thousand Cavalry Camp a bandit’s den?
A wooden stool was pulled up, and Chu Qing sat in front of him, crossing his legs and looking down at him, happily.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, let it go quickly."
Jiang Bugao, who endured the severe pain all over his body, stood up and took a long time to catch his breath, looking like he dared not speak out in anger.
"I'm asking you something. If you don't tell me, I'll give you a beating."
Jiang Bugao was startled and shouted quickly: "Master Zhang said... No, no, no, Master Zhang heard that tomorrow the merchants in Bei City will have to close some shops. Those shopkeepers are all forced by you, Qianqiying and Jingzhao Mansion.
of."
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly: "The shops in Beishi are also going to be closed down?!"
"Not bad, hum!"
"Is this true?"
Jiang Bugao reluctantly forced out a sneer: "That's exactly it."
Jiang Bugao seemed to be frightened when he saw Chu Qing. His face was full of joy, but the next second, Chu Qing also smiled.
“It’s a deal!”
Jiang Bugao was stunned for a moment, frowned and reminded: "Those rice grains and grocery stores must also be closed!"
Chu Qing's face was full of surprise: "Double happiness!"
Jiang Bugao was dumbfounded: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Why should I run?"
"Those shops in Bei City have closed down, but it was because of the persecution from your Qianqi Camp and Jingzhao Mansion."
Chu Qing was so excited that he waved his hands like he was shooing away flies: "Kick this little cutie out. My dearest relative, Mr. Zhang, is now enlightened."
Fu San beat and kicked Jiang Bugao, who had a bruised nose and face, and drove him out.
Chen Yan, who just came back today, put away his cynical expression, stared at Chu Qing and asked, "Have you got any countermeasures?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Chu Qing burst into laughter, and even Jiang Bugao, who had just been kicked out of the office, heard it. The laughter was so harsh.
Jiang Bugao, who was rubbing his waist and entering the sedan, had a ferocious look on his face.
A bluff must be a bluff!
Early in the morning of the next day, it was as Jiang Bugao said in Bei City that many shops that were closely related to the people were no longer open for business.
Because it happened that day, no one in the court mentioned it. Most of the courtiers did not know about it in advance because they were in court.
When he went to court, Zhang Songling did not leave the palace, but went to Zhaoyang Palace in the north, the residence of the Supreme Emperor.
No one knew why Zhang Songling went to find the Supreme Emperor. They only knew that half an hour later, that is, after Zhang Songling left, an edict was sent to Shangshu Province. Later, Shangshu Ling Nangong Xi, the Minister of Shangshu Province, went to Jingxing with the edict.
Yi Palace.
At this time, the edict was unfolded and placed on Huang Laosi's desk.
Looking at the contents of the edict, Huang Laosi was very confused.
The content of the edict is not much, and its general meaning is to remove a county magistrate. The magistrate of Xiao County is called Tao Weiran.
Logically speaking, not to mention the abdicating Emperor, even the reigning Emperor cannot be dismissed at will.
Of course, in reality, whoever the emperor wants to get rid of is just a matter of words, and then the officials will find no less than a hundred reasons for dismissal.
However, the edict of the Supreme Emperor was very unreasonable, and he asked Shangshu Province to directly resign the Xiao County magistrate.
You must know that the Supreme Emperor has never interfered in the affairs of the court since his abdication. Except for festivals and birthdays, he hardly meets with any ministers from other dynasties. This is the first time that an edict has been issued.
"Xiao County, Xiao County Magistrate..." Huang Laosi looked at Sun An: "Go and ask if any of the ministers from other dynasties have entered the palace to meet the Supreme Emperor recently, and whether it has anything to do with Zhang Songling."
After Sun An ran out, Nangong Xi asked: "Your Majesty, do you think it's because of Zhang Songling?"
"Xiao County is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The stones in Beijing have always been transported from Xiao County, and this Tao Weiran should be from Chu Qing."
"If this is really the reason." Nangong Xi said with a look of disgust on his face: "Zhang Songling's character cannot be complimented."
Sun An came back soon and told Zhang Songling that he had just gone to Zhaoyang Palace.
"As expected."
After receiving an accurate answer, Huang Laosi was confused: "Even if Zhang Songling went to Zhaoyang Palace, the Supreme Emperor should not be like this."
Nangong Xi was full of suspicion.
Zhang Songling went to the Supreme Emperor to remove a small county magistrate. For the Supreme Emperor, it was as simple as looking at the lines on the palm of his hand.
But looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that the emperor should not do this, but if he does, it will be weird.
Looking at the emperor, Nangong Xi couldn't figure out whether the emperor was not willing to help Zhang Songling.
Huang Laosi said: "Go and get Tao Weiran's official registration."
Sun An responded and left again.
Although Nangong Xi was confused, she didn't ask.
Seeing Nangong Xi arriving just in time, Huang Laosi mentioned another matter.
"Recently, have you heard that Chang Chengke contacted the court officials?"
Nangong Xi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it since the Li family was imprisoned."
"What a strange thing."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"A few days ago, I asked Chen Yan to go to the south of Weijiang River. This fiefdom of Chang Chengke... is a bit unusual."
Nangong Xi's expression changed drastically: "King Wu is going to do something treacherous and unethical?!"
"That's not the case. Folk singing and dancing have flourished. Although the official circles south of the Weijiang River support Chang Chengke, there has never been any unusual news in the Wu Palace."
"Could it be that King Wu is holding back?"
"It should be like this. The Li family was imprisoned, and the court officials in Beijing mentioned that King Wu was in the air and avoided him. In addition, the Ministry of War mobilized soldiers to garrison Weijiang. I think Chang Chengke knew that there was no chance of winning, so he chose to endure it."
"But if we delay it any longer, it will be like raising a tiger to create trouble."
"At the end of this year, if King Wu dares to enter the capital, let's make plans again."
Nangong Xi sighed silently.
Chang Chengke is not a fool. Apart from the matter of the Li family and the Qilin Stone, it would be strange for him to dare to enter the capital.
