Chapter 632: If we cant allegiance to the imperial court together, lets rebel together!
"When did Ming Zunjiao dare to come to the capital and act like a fool?"
Gongsun Zhao dressed in Taoist robes and walked on the streets of Bianjing. His facial features had not changed, but due to the drastic change in temperament and the concealment of his magic, no one recognized him.
Just listening to the discussions among passers-by, when he came around the Kaifeng government office and looked at the charred houses, he couldn't help but feel a cold light in his eyes.
Dong Yunzi was also very angry: "Is there no peace in this capital? Wuyou Cave was destroyed, and Mingzunjiao came again?"
Gongsun Zhao said coldly: "The world is uneven, where is the peaceful place? The people in local prefectures and counties live a more miserable life, but we can't see it. Compared to the capital, those people are more desperate!"
Dong Yunzi thought of all the things he saw on his way back to Jinhua Mountain, and sighed: "That's true!"
From this, he thought of "Zuoming"'s determination to change the dynasty, and he increasingly agreed: "What the seniors said is true. If you want to change everything, you have to do that!"
Gongsun Zhao's eyes moved slightly: "After the Taoist Master left the token, has 'Zuoming' received it?"
Dong Yunzi said: "The token has been taken away, but the senior is probably not in the capital, and it will take some time to get here."
Thinking of the close connection between "Zuo Ming" and the Bloody Eagle case, Gongsun Zhao couldn't help but analyze: "Is this person really not in the capital? Or even if he is in the capital, he will not come out to see us immediately to avoid narrowing the scope and thus locking the true identity.
?”
After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Zhao returned to the more urgent matters now, and his eyes fell on the Kaifeng government office: "I have to go in and take a look."
Dong Yunzi was startled: "What are you going to do?"
Gongsun Zhao explained: "Successive Imperial City officials have been tracking down these cultists. My master collected a lot of clues when he was in office. The current judge of Kaifeng Prefecture is my senior brother. Although he does not care about trivial matters, he is
Without sacrificing justice, there must be a reason why Mingzunjiao’s thieves acted so recklessly in the capital this time, and I want to find out why.”
Dong Yunzi suddenly realized: "In that case, Pindao will cover you up! It breaks the light and the sun, the chaos of the stars seals the moon, and the body changes shape...it's done!"
Gongsun Zhao listened to this spell, sensed the slight vibration of the surrounding heaven and earth energy, condensed it into a spell, and fell on him.
In an instant, his body seemed to become illusory, actually hiding in the sunlight and becoming invisible.
Dong Yunzi said with some pride: "This method of body transformation is my true inheritance from Jinhua Mountain. I didn't know it before! However, this method can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. Once we fight, it will become invalid immediately. You have to hurry up!"
Gongsun Zhao nodded and entered calmly.
He was already familiar with the Kaifeng government office. He had fought hard in it countless days and nights before. However, when we met again now, he found that the people and things here had become strange.
Because the catchers and officials who came and went were all slow and listless, and they no longer had the vigor and vitality of the past.
In other words, they returned to what the imperial court should look like.
In the past, Gongsun Zhao would have been very angry, but now he just passed by these familiar faces with an expressionless face.
Until I saw Qiu Shou, a good friend who I had worked closely with.
Qiu Shou's job was Kong Mu. Although he was a subordinate, he had considerable real power. He was in charge of prisons, but he was willing to be a disgusting coward. His actions were quite deviant, so Gongsun Zhao could not only tolerate him, but also tolerated him.
He also looked at him differently and became a good friend.
And now Qiu Shou, who no longer had the avoidable smell of corpses on his body, was talking to several police officers when he suddenly turned his head and looked over here.
Gongsun Zhaoming knew that Qiu Shou couldn't see him, so he subconsciously avoided it, not knowing what it was like.
Maybe it was the relief that my friend was in a good situation, or maybe it was the discomfort of seeing that there was no smile on his face anymore.
The time for transfiguration was limited, so Gongsun Zhao did not dare to delay. He went all the way to the room where the judge was, and found that Ding Run was not there, so he went to the depths of the government office.
Sure enough, Ding Run's voice came from the prefect's house: "Wu Longtu, you and I know who is responsible for setting fire to the capital by Mingzunjiao. Now the public resentment is boiling. You let Liu Yanqing, the commander of the imperial army, stay out of the matter, but
Is it too unfair to hold me responsible instead?"
Wu Juhou's majestic voice sounded: "Judge Ding, pay attention to your words. Don't force me to convict you of more than one crime!"
Gongsun Zhao looked inside through the window and saw Ding Run glaring at first, then rubbing his head, and a smile appeared on his face, but he knew very well that this senior brother was extremely angry: "Wu Longtu, you have to keep a thin line in your life.
As for love, don’t do things to death, so that we can see each other again in the future!”
Wu Juhou's eyes showed disdain for these quack-like remarks.
He was a Jinshi and a favorite of Shenzong. He was also a powerful figure back then. Although he has gone through many ups and downs, he is still only one step away from the prime minister. Whether it is because of the dislike of military men by literati or Ding Run's own martial arts habits, he is extremely looked down upon.
At this time, he didn't even bother to answer. He lowered his head and read the documents, clearly showing his intention to exclude the guests.
Ding Run's eyes showed fierceness, and his fingers clenched into fists.
Before, Wu Juhou was unwilling to take responsibility and only asked him to track down Zheng Zunjiao. He could clearly see the face of this boss. However, Wu Juhou helped Liu Yanqing to take the credit, but the Lu Shibao he snatched died soon after and was not recovered.
With the slightest benefit, the two sides have officially become enemies.
However, Ding Run was still very satisfied with the benefits of his position as a judge, and did not want to openly quarrel with the prefect. Anyway, the prefect of Kaifeng was changing in a revolving door, and Wu Juhou would have to leave if he could not hold on for long.
But he didn't expect that with the public sentiment now boiling, Wu Juhou would let Liu Yanqing off lightly, and all the blame would be borne by him, the judge who risked his own life and rushed into the Ming Zun congregation to fight.
Ding Run finally became a hero for once, but he ended up like this. At this moment, he wanted to punch that twisted old face with a punch, and hit him until his brains burst out, and it was all over!
But looking at Wu Juhou's white hair and deep wrinkles on his face, Ding Run felt that it was not worth it and suppressed his anger: "Then what kind of punishment will I receive after this crime?"
When Wu Juhou heard the other party's words of surrender, he was not surprised at all, and said directly: "It's up to the officials to decide. If Judge Ding wants to be punished and meritorious service, he should hurry up and arrest the cult thieves. It will be useless to say more here."
Ding Run's face calmed down, he looked deeply at Wu Juhou and said one word: "Okay!"
He got up and left, heading towards his house, but halfway there, he suddenly frowned, turned into the alley, and reached a remote corner: "Come out!"
Gongsun Zhao showed his figure: "Brother, you... ugh!"
He originally wanted to ask if he was okay, but after seeing what had just happened, he couldn't ask, so he just sighed.
Looking at Gongsun Zhao's new look, Ding Run's eyes became more solemn: "Junior brother, are you able to do Taoism now? The sense of threat you give me is much stronger than before. I didn't expect you to be able to survive after being wanted by the court.
Such an entry!"
Gongsun Zhao saw his excited expression: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Ding Run laughed happily: "What am I going to do? That old man Wu Juhou found a group of forbidden troops. The leader Liu Yanqing was a waste who bullied the weak and feared the strong. This caused the Ming Zun Sect to set fire and cause heavy casualties to the people. In the end, the crime was pushed to
On me! If it’s just a fine of some salary, that’s it, I can still get it back. If he dares to take away my official position, I will kill his whole family!”
Gongsun Zhao didn't know if what his senior brother said was angry, but in the past, he would definitely have persuaded him, but now he couldn't say it. Ding Run, who was so tactful, was scared. As a wanted criminal, he had no position to advise.
.
Ding Run was obviously not angry. He licked his lips and had already thought about it: "I'm not as easy to talk to as you. They dare to slander me. They are really tired of living. What's the point of just killing Wu Juhou, an old man who is about to die?
?I will kill everyone in the capital first, then find out where his hometown is, and go there to slaughter the entire clan. Then I will travel around the world by myself, and it will not be a loss!"
Gongsun Zhao couldn't accept it, and frowned: "Senior brother..."
Ding Run interrupted directly: "Don't tell me that my wife, children, old and young are innocent. This group of scholar-bureaucrats have usurped the fields and acted arrogantly. They have few good things and they all deserve to be killed! Even if there are innocent people, they should blame Wu Juhou.
!Or...do you have any way to solve this matter?"
Gongsun Zhao had actually been thinking about how to prevent his senior brother from being unjustly accused, but being a senior official in the officialdom was overwhelming, not to mention that Wu Juhou was the bachelor of Longtuge in Kaifeng Prefecture, and after thinking about it, there was only one person who could help him when he was in trouble at that time.
They all seek help from the other party: "Does your brother know about this?"
Ding Run said: "What Mr. Lin knows is that he captured the leader of the Ming Zun Sect and was kidnapped. Fortunately, he is not an official, otherwise he would have been blamed for this crime! It's really ridiculous!"
Gongsun Zhao made a suggestion: "In that case, why don't you ask your elder brother to see if he has any solution?"
Ding Run raised his eyebrows: "I'm really confused. I really should ask Mr. Lin. If he can solve this problem, he may be the only one. Will you come with me?"
Gongsun Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Let's wait until later. You don't want to go now. If others see it, something will happen in the future, which will easily affect your brother."
Ding Run nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped at his feet: "Junior brother, you are not going to follow 'Zuoming' to rebel, are you?"
Before, Gongsun Zhao would definitely have said that he just wanted Zhao Ji to step down, but now he paused and replied: "I don't know..."
"This is actually the answer!"
Ding Run waved his hand and left in a big way, leaving behind a sentence: "You and I, brothers and sisters, can't be loyal to the court together, so it would be good to rebel together. By then, I will have fulfilled my promise to the old man and take good care of you!"
