Liu Ziguang was well prepared for Zhu Youxiao's question. He said calmly: "According to Wei Chen's research, this sword has two characteristics. One is to defeat the master. All its previous masters have not ended well; the other is that it can defeat the master.
It specializes in defeating rebellious ministers and traitors. The Aixinjueluo family was the rebel minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Obai was also a rebel minister. These two characteristics are unquestionable, and the subsequent owners of this sword were all defeated by Wei Chen's subordinates, which shows that Wei Chen's
Life is tougher than theirs, and Wei Chen is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, so these two characteristics have nothing to do with me. Since this dragon and tiger sword was captured by Wei Chen, the emperor also promised not to hand it over, so it is still left in Wei Chen's mansion.
good."
These words sounded reasonable. Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood and said: "I will give the Dragon Tiger Sword to Liu Aiqing. In addition, I will give you a collar of Yanling Baojia and a carved bow to equip you with all the equipment."
Liu Ziguang immediately thanked him, and Wei Zhongxian also congratulated him with a smile. Zhu Youxiao said: "Liu Aiqing, just now I asked you to thank Xiao Weizi, but he always puts in good words for you."
Liu Ziguang hugged Wei Zhongxian and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Wei, for your kind words. I'll treat you to a drink when I get the chance."
Wei Zhongxian claimed that he was loyal to the emperor wherever he went, but his heart was filled with grief and anger. Liu Ziguang's life was so good that such a perfect plan could not hurt him at all. Not only did he save the day, but he also received a reward from the emperor. This is really disappointing.
Unacceptable.
Lin Ruhai was also depressed. Seeing the monarch and his ministers chatting and laughing, he, the imperial censor, was like an idle person passing by and being ignored. He couldn't help but said: "How can Marquis Zhenwu explain the nursery rhymes circulating in the market?
The golden sword and the dragon and tiger sword, if they meet, the world will change. This clearly means that if the man named Liu gets the dragon and tiger sword, he will conquer the world."
Liu Ziguang's expression changed and he said: "I have forgotten it even if you don't tell me. Someone has spread rumors and slandered me. I am obviously the victim. You, the imperial censor, just don't look for the person who spread the rumors. Instead, you are adding insult to injury and slandering me."
You did it for them what they couldn't do. Yes, very good."
Zhu Youxiao said: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. To clear Liu Aiqing's name, let's leave it to Dongchang and Nanchang to co-organize it. Lin Ruhai, you should think twice before going to this ginseng in the future. Do you know that Liu Aiqing is my bodyguard?"
, and he is my closest relative. Even if everyone in the world turns against me, he will still stand on my side. That’s all, I think you are also loyal to the emperor. I won’t punish you this time. If you do it again next time, I won’t care about anything.
If you don't speak up for your officials, you will definitely be punished with the imperial staff."
Lin Ruhai had no choice but to kowtow and admit his mistake, and the farce was over.
After Liu Ziguang and Lin Ruhai resigned, Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to dismiss Lin Ruhai from his position? This guy is always against Marquis Zhenwu, it must be out of personal grudges."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Officials are all like this. Not only will I not dismiss him from office, I will also reuse him."
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, but now I see that Marquis Zhenwu has been wronged. As for the mission of East Factory to monitor South Factory..."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Everything will be as I said."
"I will obey the imperial edict." Wei Zhongxian felt happy. It seemed that this trip was not in vain. After all, it made the emperor's suspicion even worse.
After successfully solving the Sword Gate incident, Liu Ziguang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he looked carefree on the outside, he was still very nervous inside. After all, Zhu Youxiao was the emperor. No emperor would take such a major matter as rebellion lightly, and he was indeed very powerful.
.It was almost to the point where it could threaten the imperial power. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division was stripped away. There was no hint of the emperor in this. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. It seems that he will be more low-key in the future.
After leaving the Meridian Gate, Sun Gang was already waiting there. Nanchang handled the case very quickly and quickly found the source of the nursery rhyme. It was a monk who used candy to lure the children and taught them to sing like this. However, when the fans chased him into the city
In the ruined temple outside, the monk who spread the rumor had been killed. He died in a miserable condition. The fans found a strange jade pendant in his hand. According to the data, it was the Manchu military aircraft operating in Nanming.
The secret liaison certificate. There was also progress in the imperial tomb. The civilian husband who excavated the stone tablet was forcibly taken away by Nanchang. For this reason, he had a conflict with Dongchang. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The civilian husband was still interrogating in public. According to Nanchang's methods,
We'll be able to find out the clues soon.
Liu Ziguang nodded. He knew very well that this matter must be a case without end. The so-called jade pendant of the Military Aircraft Department was just a frame-up. He knew very well the style of doing things in the Military Aircraft Department. It was extremely meticulous. How could he forget the jade pendant and this matter?
Either Jinyiwei did it or Dongchang did it, or it might even be a joint effort between the two. He had already become a big influence. Thinking of this, he sighed lightly. It would be easier to deal with one or two enemies, but facing almost the entire bureaucracy
, how do I face it? Fortunately, in the past two years, I finally have some connections. Low-level officials from non-Donglin are willing to get close to me, and I have the support of large private economic entities such as Liguo Railway Works and Rishengchang Bank.
, let alone a powerful army, it is not easy for anyone who wants to bring him down, and he must pay the price with blood.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sun Gang spoke again: "Sir, that guy Lin Ruhai is incompetent. I would like to ask someone to smash his black bricks so that he can no longer take care of himself. Let's see if he still dares to challenge you."
Liu Ziguang said: "Quality, pay attention to your quality. You are already a big-time businessman and you are still using these dirty methods. If you wanted to deal with him, I would have done it a long time ago. I am giving him a chance. At the same time, I don't want to mess with the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
The relationship continues to deteriorate, and I am considering whether we should arrange for a few people to be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Your Majesty, I can't keep up with you even if you're in a humble position."
The wild goose feather armor and precious eagle bow gifted by the emperor were to be delivered to the Nanchang Yamen. As the treasures of the town, Liu Ziguang personally escorted them there. When the group of people left the south gate and passed by a shantytown, Liu Ziguang only felt that in his eyes
There was a flash of light, and when I turned my head to look, I saw a slim and graceful figure flashing past. The figure from the back seemed familiar. The graceful figure alone was enough to attract people's imagination, but I don't know how beautiful the front was. The girl disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the entrance of the alley, at the same time, several gangsters leaning against the wall looked at each other and followed them unsteadily.
"You go first, I'll come over later." Liu Ziguang was suddenly very interested in performing a drama of a hero saving a beauty. Being a high-ranking official has its own shortcomings, that is, it is rare to go deep into the folk and experience the fun of ordinary people. On Xuanwu Lake
Although the life in the fishing village is relatively close to that state, it is fake after all and does not have that real feeling.
Liu Ziguang took off his weapons and gauze hat. Wearing only a linen robe, he jumped off his horse and walked towards the shantytown. As expected, a scene of local ruffians oppressing girls from good families was going on in the alley.
The weather in Nanjing is hot in summer, and ordinary people lack the means to escape the heat. They can only go bare-chested during the day and sleep on the streets at night. They just lay out bamboo rafts and cover themselves with mosquito nets before sleeping. Those who are engaged in heavy physical labor are even more careless and wear a
They can run around in the street in calf trousers. These gangsters are dressed like this, with their backs bare, wearing straw sandals, and their dark bodies are tattooed with dragons and tigers. At first glance, they are not good people. At this moment, they are standing in the shape of a Chinese character, surrounded by a
girl.
"Who are you looking for, little lady? Brother, you look very strange." The fat man in charge asked in a greasy tone.
The girl was obviously frightened by these big and thick gangsters. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She looked for an opening and wanted to get out of the gangsters. Before she even took a step, she was blocked. The gangsters opened their hands and surrounded her with playful smiles.
Block the girl.
"Little Pansy is so beautiful. Let's go home and have fun with the uncle today." The fat man saw the girl's tender waist and rapidly rising and falling breasts when she was dodging. Desire flashed in his eyes, and the poor quality pants were also worn.
The murderous weapon that was about to move formed a tent. He laughed twice, and a hungry tiger rushed over. The girl ducked lightly.
, the basket in his hand fell to the ground, and several squares of beautifully packaged Cao Sugong ink blocks fell to the ground. Fatty Puppy missed, laughed twice, wiped his saliva, and jumped up again. The space around the girl last time was already there.
Being blocked by other thugs, there is no way to hide.
At the critical moment, a brick flew in time with lightning speed and hit the fat man in the back of the head. Blood spattered immediately. The fat man screamed like killing a pig. He covered his head and turned around to look, only to see a man in the distance.
He stood leaning against the wall, with the hat on his head held low, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a few broken bricks at his feet. It was obvious that he had thrown the brick just now.
"That man, where are you from? How dare you go to Nanmen Bridge and act wild!" the fat man asked sternly.
Liu Ziguang didn't talk nonsense to these low-level hooligans. He just shouted: "Get out!" The gangsters tolerated outsiders in their own territory. When they saw nothing, they abandoned the girl and rushed over together. Liu Ziguang
With a tip of his toes, he turned another piece of head in his hand, like a dragon entering the sea, swimming among the gangsters. In the blink of an eye, he smashed these guys' heads and left them with teeth everywhere. These were his subordinates.
Be merciful, if it weren't for the fear of scaring the little sister, their brains would have been wiped out and their bodies would have been left lying in the alley.
The gangsters were no match and ran away in a hurry. Liu Ziguang turned around and helped the frightened girl pick up the ink sticks on the ground, put it in the basket and handed it to him. He asked in a magnetic baritone: "Girl, are you okay?"
Bar?"
"Thank you for the rescue. Little girl, you are so polite." The girl finally woke up from her fright and said Pianpian a long blessing to him. Her posture was elegant and her voice was like an oriole. I felt pity for him.
"How can a girl walk here alone? If you hadn't met me, you would have been miserable. There are more gangsters here than flies. Wherever you go, I will take you there." Liu Ziguang said.
"Then there is a good man. The little girl who came here to visit her grandpa is just around the corner."
Liu Ziguang walked forward with the girl for a while, and when he turned a corner he came to a simple firewood gate. She gently knocked on the door: "Brother Bao, open the door."
A surprised voice immediately came from the door: "Is it Sister Daiyu here?"
