Chapter two hundred and twenty seventh master plan
Zhou Kairong led the Confucian scholar into Zhang Deng Yamen that night, came to Shi Xun, and first slapped Shi Xun hard twice.
Shi Xun was so well-controlled and not angry at all! With a smile on his face, he poured tea for Zhou Kairong.
Several green lantern men were waiting in the main hall, listening to Zhou Kairong's curses, looking at Shi Xun's smiling face in response, and whispered:
"Our Shi Qianhu is really good-tempered. If it were Wu Qianhu, Zhou Kairong's head would have fallen off several times."
"Not to mention Wu Qianhu, even when Chen Yuanzhong and Chen Qianhu were here, it was not Zhou Kairong's turn to be arrogant."
"It's okay even if Zhi Qiong is here!"
"If Zhi Qiong were here, Zhou Kairong wouldn't dare come to the door! He doesn't have enough heads to chop off!"
While talking, Zhou Kairong slapped Shi Xun twice more, but Shi Xun still had an apologetic smile on his face.
The Green Lantern Langers really couldn't understand: "What's going on here, just let him beat me like this?"
"I heard that Zhou Kairong's son died!"
"That little tiger? Could it be Zhi Qiong did it again?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Zhiqiong is fighting in the north!"
"He is sure that our Yamen did it!"
"Who in our yamen dares to do this? Anyone who dares will be sent north."
All those who had the guts left, leaving a group of losers, leaving Zhou Kairong to lead a group of Confucian scholars to turn the lamp-carrying Yamen upside down.
Shi Xun explained again and again: "Mr. Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with our Yamen!"
No matter what Shi Xun said, Zhou Kairong responded with insults.
"Shameless and despicable people, muddy people! Do you dare to do something but dare not take it? Do you dare to confront me in front of Lord Gongsun?"
Shi Xun begged bitterly: "Master Zhou, we have to be reasonable. I will call all the lantern men on duty tonight. You can check them one by one. If you find the murderer, I will execute him on the spot!"
Zhou Kairong said angrily: "What else can be investigated? All the lantern men on duty tonight should be killed!"
Shi Xun quickly served the tea ceremony: "Master Zhou, you are talking in anger!"
Zhou Kairong threw the tea cup to the ground: "What do you mean by angry words? Even you should be killed!"
The smile on Shi Xun's face never changed.
A Qing Deng Lang said in a low voice: "Shi Qianhu's spirit is too big, how can he bear this?"
"This is not Qi Qi, this is cultivation, this is called the art of thick skin!"
"You are still talking nonsense here. We are going to be trapped. Zhou Kairong is going to kill all the lantern men on duty at night."
"Dare! I don't believe he really dares to touch our Yamen!"
"Zhi Qiong is here, but he doesn't dare. This Shi Xun is a waste!"
…
Zhou Kairong led his disciples and smashed everything in Zhangdeng Yamen, and then left with the Confucian scholars from Longnu Society.
I thought that the matter was over, but I didn't expect that Shi Xun actually gathered all the lantern men for interrogation.
"Who did this? Please tell me, I, Mr. Shi, cherish his subordinates and will never let him suffer alone. I can definitely save his life.
But if none of you are willing to admit it, I will have to find someone to take the blame."
The lantern holders looked at each other, not expecting Shi Xun to handle Zhou Haiqiu's case in this way.
Why did you let the lantern man carry it down?
Without proof or evidence, they dare to frame Zhang Deng Yamen?
This absurd thing had never even occurred to the Lantern Man's mind.
Everyone was silent, Shi Xun nodded and said: "You don't admit it, so don't blame me for being rude. Who is patrolling the place where the incident happened tonight?"
A Qing Deng Lang said with fear on his face: "Qianhu, our brothers have patrolled that place long ago, and nothing happened at that time!"
Shi Xun nodded and smiled: "Since you are the ones patrolling the night, it is your responsibility to carry it if something happens. Find someone to take care of it!"
Qing Deng looked back at his subordinate Bai Deng Lang, who lowered his head and said nothing, his face full of fear and grievance.
Qing Denglang was still hesitating, but Shi Xun shouted: "If you can't find someone to come, you can do it yourself!"
The green lantern man gritted his teeth and pointed at a white lantern man. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the green lantern man Liu Dashun shouting: "Get out! You have lost face in charge of the lantern Yamen! Go back to the team and stand there!"
Liu Dashun had a close friendship with Xu Zhiqiong, and he also participated in the Battle of Beiyuan. Logically speaking, he should have followed Xu Zhiqiong in the northern expedition.
But on the eve of the Northern Expedition, Liu Dashun happened to be promoted and fell into a coma for several days, so he stayed in the capital.
In the entire Zhangdeng Yamen, this is the only one who is still bloody.
Liu Dashun looked at Shi Xun and said, "You don't have to embarrass them. They are all my soldiers. If you want to find someone to take the blame, just go to me!"
"Okay, take the seed!" Shi Xun looked at Liu Dashun and said, "Since Liu Baihu is willing to carry it for the brothers, then Mr. Shi will help you. You have a solid sleep tonight. Early tomorrow morning, I will carry it for you."
I will tie you up to Mr. Zhou's house. You and I agree, and no one of us should blame the other."
At dawn the next day, Shi Xun carried the shackles and came to Liu Dashun's cabin, knocked on the door and said: "Liu Baihu, you are on your way, please open the door!"
There was no movement in the room.
"Dashun, what happened yesterday was what you promised yourself. You are a man and you must keep your word!"
There was still no movement in the house.
"What do you mean? What's the point of cheating? Are you scared now? It's too late!
You said soft words to me last night, and I begged Mr. Zhou to be kind and let you go. Wouldn't this be over?
Do you know who Mr. Zhou is? He is the direct disciple of Gongsun Shilang. Do you know who Gongsun Shilang is? He is the backbone of the current imperial court!
When you pretend to be a hero, you feel majestic. Have you ever thought about my difficulties? When you cut my face in front of everyone, have you ever thought about the consequences?
I’m telling you, come out quickly, don’t wait for me to go in and tie you up, save some face for yourself!”
There was still no movement in the house.
"You have to force me to go in and lock you, right? Why don't you have the face to do it!" Shi Xun kicked the door open and was stunned at the door, speechless for a while.
There is a person sitting in the small house, but it is not Liu Dashun.
The man looked at Shi Xun, smiled slightly and said: "The shackles are here, are you waiting for me to do it, or are you going to lock yourself?"
"Commander, I... I'm all here to control the yamen, so Lord Zhou is not easy to mess with."
"Which Lord Zhou? Zhou Kairong? That's your Lord!" Zhong Shen lowered his eyes and said, "How come you are such a loser in Zhang Deng Yamen? If the official family hadn't sealed a thousand households for you, I would have let you go now.
Get out of here! What are you doing standing there in a daze? Lock yourself up for me, stand in the yard, don’t wait for me to make a move, don’t do anything to show your shame!"
…
At dawn, Zhou Kairong led a group of Confucian scholars to the palace of Yushi Wang Yanyang, broke open the door, and ordered to arrest anyone they saw.
No reason is needed, just arresting the traitor is enough.
Catching Wang Yanyang will avenge his son. Wang Yanyang must know the identity of the lantern man last night!
Wang Yanyang's mansion was very small, with two courtyards at the front and back, and only a dozen people including maidservants.
But Zhou Kairong didn't catch anyone.
The yard was swept clean, and there was no dust on the furniture. There was no fire on the stove, but there was firewood, and even the rice was in the pot, which proved that someone had been preparing meals just now.
But where have all the people gone?
Zhou Kairong searched up and down the house, even the vegetable cellar, but he didn't see even a single person.
Wang Yanyang ran away!
Who sent him the message?
Where can he run!
Zhou Kairong divided his troops into two groups, letting one group continue to search for Wang Yanyang, while he led the other group to arrest Cui Zhiming, a scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion.
This person is an accomplice of Wang Yanyang. He must know where Wang Yanyang is. Wang Yanyang may even be at Cui Zhiming's home.
When we arrived at Cui Zhiming's house, it was still empty.
The arrest of Cui Zhiming was a temporary decision made by Zhou Kairong. Why was Cui Zhiming able to escape in advance?
Is there a mole among the people around you?
But why did this traitor send a letter to Cui Zhiming?
This time Zhou Kairong did not mention his name, but only said that he was arresting the traitor, and then went to the house of Yushi Qiu Dongcai.
The mansion is still empty.
Zhou Kairong stopped picking and went through the list of the censor's desk one by one. A dozen houses in a row were all empty, until he reached the house of the censor Zhang Zhuyang and finally saw someone.
Zhang Zhuyang is at the house, and his wife, children, and dozens of other people are also at the house.
Seeing Zhou Kairong approaching with great momentum, Zhang Zhuyang greeted him with a smile: "Master Zhou, you are here, I don't know why..."
Before he finished speaking, a Confucian scholar stepped forward and pushed Zhang Zhuyang, causing him to stagger.
Zhang Zhuyang was stunned for a moment, then removed his smile and said, finishing the second half of the sentence: "I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any advice?"
Zhou Kairong said: "I'm asking you about a person. Do you know where the fawning minister Wang Yanyang has gone?"
Zhang Zhuyang smiled and said: "If you want to find Wang Yushi, just go to his mansion. Why are you making noise in front of my door?"
A Confucian scholar shouted: "You clearly intend to cover up. Wang Yanyang is in your home. If you don't accept it, do you dare to let us search him?"
"Are you trying to frame me? You broke into the imperial censor's residence without asking the Daxuan Law?" Zhang Zhuyang looked at Zhou Kairong with disdain. Speaking of Luo Zhi's frame-up methods, these Confucian scholars were really not enough in front of him.
Zhou Kairong shouted: "We are disciples of the Emperor. We act according to the Emperor's will, and the Emperor's will is the law! Zhang Zhuyang, call all your family members and let me search your house. Let's stop today's business."
Zhang Zhuyang smiled sinisterly and said: "Zhou Kairong, you are just an honest person with your nonsense. You think I, Mr. Zhang, am really afraid of you! I will stand here today to see if you dare to enter my mansion!"
Zhang Zhuyang couldn't let him into his house. He had too much gold and silver in his house, and the deeds to the house could not explain the source clearly.
The Confucian scholars were gearing up and were about to arrest Zhang Zhuyang.
But Zhou Kairong didn't dare to take action, he knew that Zhang Zhuyang was really not easy to mess with.
He belongs to the Sixth Princess, who has an envoy in red under her command.
Moreover, Zhang Zhuyang has contacts with officials from various ministries. If he really provokes such people, he will easily stir up a hornet's nest.
Zhou Kairong left angrily. Zhang Zhuyang returned to the house, wiped his sweat, called the housekeeper and said: "Pack up the gold and silver and move!"
The housekeeper said in a panic: "Where are we moving to? I'll prepare the carriage and horses!"
"There's no need to prepare carriages and horses, just leave our things in the yard. Someone will pick us up!"
The expert had long persuaded Zhang Zhuyang to move there, but Zhang Zhuyang refused to listen. He thought that the matter would not involve him.
Now it seemed that leaving was impossible. In less than an hour, the house was tidied up. Zhang Zhuyang and his family stood in the middle of the yard and lit a candle.
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and Zhang Zhuyang shouted: "Close your eyes!"
Everyone closed their eyes and disappeared into the courtyard.
…
Zhou Kairong walked for a day and found nothing. When he returned to the club, he immediately ordered: "Stop teaching tonight. All clubs in the city are searching for the murderer. Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested and tortured. Even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will find the murderer."
!”
…
In the courtyard of the Zhonglang, Yang Wu held a lantern and said aggressively: "You know you are guilty of taking human lives? Are you guilty of killing innocent people indiscriminately? Are you guilty of being corrupt and perverting the law? Are you guilty of eating too much?"
Chang Decai said angrily: "What's the crime of eating too much? I think you just eat too much!"
Yang Wu put away the lantern, shook his head and said: "Almost the momentum, or a little less momentum, where is the difference?"
"You are so virtuous and you still want to imitate my master? You are nothing like me from head to toe. Those Confucian scholars are arresting people all over the city tonight. I want to teach them a lesson. Will you follow me?"
"Go!" Yang Wu quickly put on his robe.
"If you go, you can't be so scared that you didn't dare to show up for a long time like yesterday."
"Yesterday was the first time. Let me practice hard today. Let's bring back a few more heads for Zhi Qiong!"
