Xia Xun took the sea route and Dai Yubin took the land route, but they were not as fast as Zhu Tu and the other four kings.【】
They traveled through the stars and nights and rushed back to Jinling as quickly as possible. Such a strong group of men were exhausted from traveling day and night, not to mention Xu Zeheng, who had been severely tortured and was dragged to Jinling by one of their carriages. However,
As long as this witness still has a breath, who will treat him as a human being?
When Ji Gang saw Zhu Tu and the four others and heard their report, he heard clearly what was going on in Qingzhou and Putai, and he was suddenly shocked and angry.
He had never seen anything like the fact that his royal guards went out but failed and even lost their troops. Even officials of Yin Shenghui's level disappeared without a trace. And the strange things that happened on Po Tai made it even more disturbing.
He was secretly alert. Did the people from Jinyiweinan Town pass by by chance and unintentionally ruin his good deeds?
How could it be such a coincidence that none of the important criminals he wanted to arrest became associates of the gangsters, and all of them died violently?
This is because Chen Yunan still thought that the two masked men who suddenly appeared when he kidnapped Xu Zeheng's family were the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, Ji Gang could have 100% concluded that Liu Yujue had fully or partially realized his true intentions and tried to
To carry out destruction, this means that Xia Xun already knows his purpose.
Thinking of this, Ji Gang couldn't help but feel frightened. He could just deal with Xia Xun secretly. Once there was such a semi-open confrontation, how could he not be afraid of Xia Xun under the prestige?
Seeing that Ji Gang's face was gloomy after hearing what happened, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and Ji Younan, Zhong Canghai and others were also dumbfounded. Zhu Tu had no choice but to kneel down and apologize: "Sir, I'm waiting for you to do something humble.
Ineffective, Qingzhou lost troops and generals in the front, and Putai sat back and watched important witnesses being eliminated, and only captured one Xu Zehenglai. You have failed your high expectations, please punish me!"
After hearing this, Ji Younan cursed in his heart: "Damn it, if you ask for forgiveness, just ask for forgiveness, and also bring 'wait'. You are in vain to be the head of the Eight Great Vajras. Can't you take care of me for this little brother?" He cursed in his heart,
But he had no choice but to kneel down.
Zhong Canghai and Gao Xiang even cursed in their hearts: "It's none of your business what I did in Qingzhou? You asked me to forgive you, but you insisted on sparing me. You also said that we lost our troops and generals, but you captured a witness."
, is this an apology or an expression of merit?" He cursed in his heart, unable to break up after all, and the two of them knelt down reluctantly.
Ji Gang glanced at Zhu Tu, his face darkened, and he said solemnly: "I, Ji Gang, don't rub sand in my eyes, don't play any tricks in front of me!"
Zhu Tu paused and did not dare to answer.
Ji Gang snorted coldly: "It's my order over there in Qingzhou. Before we get real evidence, we must not let the Duke of Fu know their existence. They are tied up and have no way to do anything. That's why they failed in their mission. Even if they lose their troops, it's not their fault."
them.
And you, I specifically ordered you to start as soon as possible and use Po Tai as the key point to conquer the opponent's entire fortress. However, you are hesitant and hesitant, so that you missed the important matter. At this time, you still want to delay.
We all go into the water together, do you think I, Ji Gang, is easy to bully?"
Zhu Tu originally thought that because he had always been respected by Ji Gang and was the head of the Eight Great Vajras, even if Ji Gang was angry, he would not be too harsh on himself. Unexpectedly, Ji Gang's words became more and more severe. Zhu Tu, who was just pretending to be afraid,
This time I was really sweating.
He kowtowed heavily and said in a trembling voice: "Your humble position... Your humble position means you know your crime!"
Ji Gang slapped the table and shouted: "The big thing has not been accomplished and the generals have been destroyed. Can you just admit your guilt and let the matter go?"
Zhu Tu was so frightened that he trembled all over and said hurriedly: "Sir, we...we still have Xu Zeheng! He is...he is an important figure in the White Lotus Sect. With his witness and confession, it should...should be possible
As strong evidence?"
Ji Gang became even angrier after hearing this, and said angrily: "You don't know who we are dealing with! Some people don't need evidence. You can treat them like a soft persimmon and rub them over. Some people, unless there is an ironclad case,
Like a mountain, otherwise..."
When he said this, his heart suddenly moved and he stopped talking.
Zhu Tu lay there and waited for a long time without any movement. He slightly raised his head and glanced upward, and saw Ji Gang holding his chin and pondering for a moment, gently waving his hand and saying: "Everyone go down, Zhu Tu stays!"
"Yes, sir!"
As if they had received an amnesty, Zhong Canghai and the others hurriedly kowtowed and retreated with lowered eyebrows. After they all went out, as soon as the door was closed, Ji Gang left the case, walked up quickly, and handed over Zhu Zhong's hand.
Tu helped him up.
Zhu Tu was so shocked by Ji Gang's preferential treatment that he stood there blankly. Ji Gang pushed him onto the chair with a cheerful expression on his face: "Sit down, Zhu Tu. Don't blame me for not giving you face. You are the Eight Great Vajras under me."
The leader is my most valued subordinate. Now that you have done this, if I am too tolerant to you, how will I discipline other people in the future?"
Zhu Tu burst into tears after hearing this, and quickly stood up and said: "Sir, I was promoted by you. I am loyal and serve you! This time, I was indeed incompetent and ruined your plan. I am willing to accept anything you ask me."
Punishment, my lord, you are as kind as a mountain to your humble position. Even if you go through fire and water for my lord, you will not frown even if you are humble in your position!"
Ji Gang smiled and said: "You are my right-hand man, how can I bear to ask you to go through fire and water, hahaha, you don't have to do it, but there is one thing that is not too difficult. After thinking about it, it is better for you to take the initiative!"
Zhu Tu immediately raised his chest and said: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. Zhu Tu is born to your Majesty, and his death is your ghost. I am willing to do everything for you!"
Ji Gang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Although there are many fewer witnesses and physical evidence at the moment, luckily you still have Xu Zeheng in your hands. This person can also be regarded as a strong evidence. How did the White Lotus Sect get involved with Fu Guogong?
, it’s up to you to report it to the emperor!”
※※※※※※※
In Jinshen Hall, Zhu Tu was kneeling, Ji Gang was standing, and Zhu Di was sitting.
Zhu Di asked in astonishment: "Caught the demon from the White Lotus Sect?"
Ji Gang said: "I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to detect rebellions in the world, and I have some local eyes and ears. This matter was discovered by a man named Chen Yunan. Zhu Tu, tell me!"
Zhu Tu hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the old lady in Pengjiazhuang, Qingzhou, passed away. Visitors from all over the world gathered to pay their respects. The momentum was very large. I, Chen Yunan, a member of the Jinyiwei family, became alert, so he pretended to be a mourner and sneaked into Pengjiazhuang. Originally, it was just a routine visit.
Unexpectedly, he found that many mourners were acting suspiciously, so he paid close attention to them. He accidentally discovered them..."
Zhu Tu told some little dolls in the corner of the courtyard about the "ancestor", the lotus flower, the golden Buddha and other things, and then said in detail: "Chen Yunan thinks this little girl is very suspicious. It is very possible that she is
The demons of the White Lotus Sect sent letters to report to the ministers. After hearing this, the ministers did not dare to neglect and immediately rushed to Shandong to investigate the case.
We chased all the way to Putai County. Because it was only a small county and foreigners staying there for a long time were very conspicuous, so we had to use extraordinary means to kidnap a man who had gone to Qingzhou to express condolences with the girl.
Under interrogation, this person revealed the truth. They are indeed the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and have been hiding in Putai County, Shandong Province for a long time."
Ji Gang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after listening to what Zhu Tu said, I originally thought this matter was extremely absurd. How could I, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect? But the matter was serious, and Zhu Qianhu had witnesses and witnesses.
I dare not hide the confession and not report it, so I brought him here and respectfully asked the Holy One to judge him!"
Zhu Di said blankly: "What? Why did you talk about the Duke? Which Duke, does it have anything to do with this?"
Ji Gang was stunned after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Fu...are not returning to Qingzhou, Shandong for funeral..."
Zhu Di suddenly realized: "Oh! By the way, why does Pengjiazhuang sound so familiar to me..., huh? You mean...?"
Ji Gang smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, this Pengjiazhuang is the father-in-law's home of Duke Fu. Those White Lotus cult bandits went to Pengjiazhuang to express their condolences to old lady Peng. Otherwise...why would I think this matter is too difficult?"
"
Zhu Di's expression changed immediately. Ji Gang looked like he had no choice but to stand there without speaking, just staring at Zhu Di.
Zhu Tu, who was kneeling beside him, had a very painful expression. He really didn't want to be the first person! As soon as Ji Gang's idea came out, his anus tightened, but he knew that Ji Gang was leaving a way out just in case.
, ensuring that Ji Gang can move forward and retreat freely, but there is nothing he can do about it. If he doesn't agree, he will be unlucky immediately. If he agrees, there is still a chance of success, but he has no choice. This is the tragedy of being a pawn.
Ji Gang saw that Zhu Di's face was uncertain, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Then he bowed and said: "If it weren't for the people from Jinyi South Town heading to Zhigu and not knowing that the North Town was running errands, so I alerted the snake, I should have caught more at this moment.
I also feel that this evidence is not very sufficient. The official position of Fuguo is very popular and he has always been loyal to the emperor. It is impossible for him to be involved in this matter. It only involves a major matter of rebellion. It is my responsibility.
Then don’t dare to be careless!”
Ji Gang didn't mention that Jinyi Wei Nanzhen might have intended to cover up Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince. There was no need to mention it!
As long as Yang Xu falls, it will be easy for him to deal with Liu Yujue. At present, too many people and things are involved, which is not conducive to his offense. He is now concentrating all his efforts and focusing on one point.
Besides, Ji Gang was a very proud man, and he was unwilling to let the emperor know that the Jin Yiwei under his control were not monolithic. He was unwilling to trouble the emperor if he could manage someone himself.
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Di said hesitantly: "Even if Lin Yuqi and others are White Lotus cult bandits, it doesn't prove that they went to Pengjiazhuang to express condolences. The Peng family must also be White Lotus cultists, right?"
Zhu Tu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Xu Zeheng has already confessed. When Lin Yuqi took them to Qingzhou to express condolences, he said that he was going to express condolences to a senior of our sect!"
A hint of gloom flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he interrupted and said: "Xu Zeheng's confession is here to stay. You can step back!"
He then told Mu En, who was standing by the door, in a deep voice: "Send a message to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ask Chen Ying to supervise the case!"
I went to practice driving today. It was my first time practicing on the outside. I felt pretty good and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Is the process I told you correct? First, go around the car, check the tires and other conditions, get in the car, adjust the seat, and check
Turn on the rearview mirror, then fasten the seat belt. Engage first gear, release the handbrake, and start. The car starts, pay attention at intersections, honk the horn, switch to second and third gears according to the road conditions, and wait for the examiner's instructions: pull over and stop! Pull over and look behind you.
Mirror, the car is straightened, parked, in neutral, the handbrake is raised, and it sounds twice. Right?_
The only problem with practicing today is that I always follow the habit of driving the car slowly when practicing the 9th event. If the clutch is released too fast, the car will swerve and stall. So before the clutch is fully lifted, I step on the accelerator, which makes the car shudder.
, the coach was so heartbroken that he kept shouting at me: Money, that’s all money, a liter of gasoline is almost 9 yuan!
I'm going to take the driving test tomorrow, and I'll stay up late tonight to code out the update. Dear friends, Guan Guan has worked so hard, so don't be stingy with your vote, vote to support it! :)
