Chapter 635: The Imperial City Division opens: Hang him up!
Liu Yanqing was dressed in armor and walked majestically in the imperial city.
Although with his energy and energy, he does not have the momentum of a dragon or a tiger, he can still be regarded as a tiger and a tiger.
After all, I came here for an appointment, so it was necessary to meet Gao Qiu, the Imperial City Secretary, to give me some advice and get the upper hand.
But as soon as he entered Zuo Chengtian Gate, Liu Yanqing was stopped by two officials, who said very respectfully: "The younger one is the Imperial City Secretary, who has been ordered to welcome Commander Liu."
"This Gao Qiu is quite good at being a good person!"
Liu Yanqing belongs to a lower position and enjoys hidden benefits. On the surface, he is just a small commander. Seeing that Gao Qiu sent someone to greet him, he was quite satisfied. He waved his hand and said: "Lead the way!"
The two custody officers led the way, and Liu Yanqing followed behind, taking the steps of a purple-robed official.
But soon, he realized something was wrong: "Isn't this the way to the Imperial City Division? Did you bring the wrong one?"
An escort officer said in a low voice: "Commander Liu, please forgive me for giving the order more efficiently. It would be inconvenient to say some things in the Imperial City Division..."
Liu Yanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a meaningful expression: "That's it!"
He understood that Gao Qiu was here to ask for bribes. He was indeed a jester who rose to power by playing Cuju. He was well-informed and knew that the Liu family fed many high-ranking officials every year.
As Saburo said last night, after all, they are close ministers of the official family, and they should not be stingy with money. However, it is precisely this kind of ministers who suddenly become rich and powerful, who often ask for a lot of money. Liu Yanqing's eyes flickered, and he began to calculate, if the other party opened his mouth.
, how should I cope with it.
The two custodians looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They had prepared a lot of tricks according to Gao Qiu's instructions, but they didn't expect that none of them were used and the other party just followed them. That was naturally the best thing.
The pace of the jailer gradually quickened, and the three of them walked further and further into the distance. Just when Liu Yanqing had calculated the amount of money he could accept, a clanking sound suddenly came from ahead.
Liu Yanqing was startled: "What's that noise?"
Just as he was asking, his eyes flashed, and the two custodians who were leading the way suddenly ran wildly, turned left and right, and disappeared.
Liu Yanqing was confused at first, and then finally realized something was wrong: "No! Where did they bring me?"
No matter where he was, he didn't dare to stay and turned around and ran away.
But with the armor on his body, he was very majestic, and the weight of his whole body was also heavy. In addition, Liu Yanqing had long neglected martial arts, and his body was not much stronger than ordinary people. He had just run a hundred steps, and he was out of breath.
.
In addition to the clanging sounds of garden construction, there were also shouts and shouts, and they were surrounded from all directions: "A thief has broken into Yanfu Palace! Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
Liu Yanqing suddenly changed his color: "Yanfu Palace?"
This place is a new palace that the official family is planning to build, and he was actually brought here? What a serious crime it is to break into the official palace without any reason!
"Run! Run!"
Liu Yanqing tried his best to run wildly, but the more he panicked, the weaker his body became. In addition, the surrounding guards had already surrounded him, and soon the first few people swooped over, clamped his left and right arms, and pushed him to the ground.
pressure.
boom!
Liu Yanqing knelt on the ground, raised his head, and saw Gao Qiu, who was dressed in green robes, walking out in front of him and shouted coldly: "I didn't expect the traitors from Ming Zunjiao to be so bold and sneak into Yanfu Palace to plot.
Assassin's family? Take it down quickly!"
Liu Yanqing's eyes were about to burst. He had always framed others. When had he ever been framed by others: "You dare to slander me? Gao Qiu! You... ugh! ugh ugh!"
The yelling and cursing stopped suddenly, his mouth was blocked, but his limbs kept jumping around, and his armor made a snapping sound.
"What a waste, he still belongs to a noble family!"
Gao Qiu looked at him struggling furiously and felt a sense of superiority: "Just keep an eye on him here, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
…
"Gao Qiu, you came just in time. I have something to ask you. What's going on in the city these days?"
When Gao Qiu vigorously and resolutely requested an audience and was summoned by Zhao Ji, he just bowed down when he heard a somewhat chilling interrogation from the officials coming down from above.
As soon as Gao Qiu heard this, he knew that it must be Yang Jian, Lan Congxi or other internal officials who were jealous of his superiority and were stirring up trouble in front of the officials. He secretly said to himself that he was lucky: "I was not able to detect the sinister intentions of Ming Zunjiao's thieves in advance.
, I am ashamed of the trust of the officials, I am aware of my guilt!"
Zhao Ji was playing with gold and stone antiques when he heard this and was slightly startled: "Ming Zunjiao?"
Gao Qiu said: "Recently, the Kaifeng government office destroyed the stronghold set up by Ming Zun Cult thieves in the capital. They retaliated wildly, attacked the government office, set fires everywhere, and killed the people in the capital!"
Zhao Ji said casually: "I have heard about this..."
Judging from his attitude, this Zhao Song official obviously does not care about the losses caused by the arson, but cares about the direction of public opinion: "According to your opinion, there are rumors in Beijing that it is this group of thieves who did it?"
Gao Qiu couldn't grasp "Zuo Ming", so he naturally wanted to use the influence of "Zuo Ming" on a target that he could solve. Hearing this, he said decisively: "There is no sage than an official. It was Ming Zunjiao who deliberately spread rumors."
!”
"This group of thieves not only confuses the public with their lies in the capital, but also inserts spies into the Forbidden Army. I have just arrested a commander of the Forbidden Army who is wandering around the Yanfu Palace."
"I, the Imperial City Secretary, have the responsibility of palace confinement, and I was about to step forward to ask. Unexpectedly, this person ran away immediately after seeing us appearing. He was obviously a thief with a guilty conscience and was trying to spy on information!"
Zhao Ji's expression changed: "There are Mingzunjiao thieves in the Forbidden Army? And they entered Yanfu Palace?"
The Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was not big, and many places were in disrepair, making it look a bit shabby. Yanfu Palace was the palace he planned to expand. After it was completed, he wanted to enjoy it there, but now it was actually touched by Ming Zunjiao thieves? What do you want?
What to do? Could it be an assassination...
In view of the lessons learned from the Renzong Dynasty, Zhao Ji was frightened and frightened, gnashing his teeth. On the list of hatreds, "Zuoming" was relegated to second place for the first time, and Mingzunjiao instantly jumped to the first place: "Mingzunjiao! They deserve to be killed! Everyone deserves to be killed.
!Who is the forbidden army? They will be tortured and all the comrades must be captured!"
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao Qiu said: "This person's name is Liu Yanqing. He was born in the Liu family of security guards. After being arrested, he still made excuses. There is no precedent for direct interrogation in the Imperial City Division, so he came to report to the official.
Home!"
"Liu Yanqing?"
Zhao Ji thought about it again and again, but there were probably more than 500 commanders in the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, with high or low status. He had obviously never heard of this name, and he had no impression of the security Liu family. He was just an unimportant person, so Zuo said displeasedly: "Be careful, you are too cowardly. I handed over the Imperial City Division to you because of my trust. Why are you so restrained even in interrogating a small commander?"
Gao Qiu hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not make my own decisions without official orders!"
Anyone who becomes an emperor does not want to be restrained by anything, but his subordinates must be cautious and it is best to ask for instructions on everything. Zhao Ji is very satisfied with the attitude of this Cuju playmate, and his tone is soothing: "Be better, what do you do this time?" It’s going well, I’m very relieved!”
Gao Qiu felt comfortable all over, and his face was full of wrinkles when he smiled: "It's all thanks to the official family! It's all the blessing to the official family!"
Zhao Ji thought that the Yushitai was going to jail every day to arrest people, and the Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Tingzhi only gave a rough report. His majesty became more and more powerful day by day. In comparison, the Imperial City Secretary, the most trusted person of the imperial power, could not even arrest a commander. We need to ask for permission, it is obviously not possible to continue like this.
In both public and private matters, Ming Zunjiao is a good excuse. He immediately issued an order: "Draft an imperial edict and ask the Imperial City Secretary to raise some high officials to investigate and deal with Mingzunjiao. Anyone who has colluded with the evil cult will be arrested and severely punished in accordance with the law." No loan, if the thief resists, shoot without mercy!"
Gao Qiu was ecstatic: "I obey your order!"
…
"Anyone who colludes with the evil cult will be arrested in accordance with the law and severely punished. If the thieves resist, they will be killed without mercy! This is an official edict! Commander Liu, stop struggling and follow us back to the Imperial City Division! "
When Gao Qiu appeared in front of him with the edict smelling of ink and read it loudly, Liu Yanqing's facial features were completely distorted and his mouth whined again.
Gao Qiu was a little impatient and gestured to the left and right: "Let him speak."
The dirty cloth in Liu Yanqing's mouth was pulled out. He gasped for a few breaths and said quickly: "Be more careful. If you have offended me in the past, I still hope that Haihan, you want...as much as you want, we can do it." It’s discussed!”
Gao Qiu frowned, came to him, and looked down: "Commander Liu, why do you still sound a little arrogant now? I have the trust of the officials, and I am still cautious. You are a little How awesome is the commanding officer?"
Just as Liu Yanqing looked down on Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu also looked down on Liu Yanqing and waved his hand directly: "Take him away!"
The dirty cloth was stuffed in his mouth again, and Liu Yanqing, who was still moaning and groaning, was carried on the left and right sides and headed towards the Imperial City.
The movement along the way immediately attracted the attention of the patrolling Forbidden Army. Some people even recognized Liu Yanqing and quickly started whispering.
Not only did Gao Qiu not hide it, but he walked around in a swaggering manner, enjoying the pleasure of being noticed.
Where does prestige come from?
Either make people love it or make people fear it!
If you make a difference, you will be loved, respected, and your reputation will grow. This is positive feedback.
Building large prisons will make people fearful, fearful, and powerful. This is a negative effect.
Gao Qiu knew that it was impossible to compete with the officials and make a difference based on his own abilities. Now that he had joined the Imperial City Division, he could still hope to arrest officials and build prisons with the help of imperial power.
Of course, he had to make a name for himself, so Gao Qiuxiong walked into the prison of the Imperial City Division with great arrogance. First, he was smelled by the musty smell inside that was always airtight, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Yanqing.
Under the gaze with a bit of despair, he smiled coldly:
"Come on! Hang up this cult leader! Use the killing stick! Interrogate him ruthlessly!"
