Hearing that the manpower sent out to do things was taken over by Baimayuan, Li Yansi was still a little unbelievable. He mustered up the courage to go outside the city and saw groups of Dangxiang Qingzhuang being detained at work. His forehead was numb.
Among these people, he also saw Li Si and more than a dozen small bosses who were attached to him, but none of them slipped through the net. The more he saw, the more frightened he became, and he hurriedly hid at home and closed the door tightly.
In the midst of panic and confusion, Li Yansi was frightened by any disturbance outside the door, just like the inspection of the square hall of Baima Court, when the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came to arrest people. It was really like a year.
Soon after, Qiangxiong and Zehun arrived one after another, and the three party leaders gathered together and groaned repeatedly. In addition to complaining about the newly arrived Abbot Zhao's "disobeying the rules", they were more concerned about what Abbot Zhao's "disobeying the rules" meant.
To what extent, will it implicate myself?
According to their initial thoughts, after the incident was made, the new Abbot Zhao should save the situation by agreeing to open a warehouse for relief for the sake of his own hat. In order to eliminate the adverse effects and appease the emotions of the party members, some even
They may agree to the conditions they plan to propose next: for example, if a party member commits a crime, the party member will deal with it internally.
When it didn't work, they finally threw out ten or eight culprits and handed them over to the White Horse Court to deal with them, just to calm Abbot Zhao's anger.
However, Abbot Zhao didn't follow the rules, didn't play his cards according to the routine, and just arrested people... He didn't even mention arresting people, but he didn't even let anyone go! In this way, will Abbot Zhao continue to ignore the rules and take advantage of the situation?
Are you, the party leader, venting your anger? This is entirely possible. With so many party members being arrested, it is not easy to create any evidence. And the butts of you and others are indeed dirty!
Zehun suddenly said: "There is a traitor among our party members!"
As soon as he woke up the dreamer, Li Yansi shivered immediately, and an icy chill suddenly arose in his heart.
Qiangxiong didn't know why, so he said: "How can you see it?"
Zehun glanced at him: "Otherwise, why didn't anyone get away?"
Only then did Qiangxiong wake up, slapping his legs and scolding: "Which bastard sold us? When I know who it is, I will skin him!"
Zehun said: "This is all for later. Let's talk about how to deal with it first. Abbot Zhao and Abbot Zeng are completely different. We had misunderstandings from the beginning."
After much discussion, the three of them came up with no solution!
It was so smooth when Abbot Zeng was in office that Li Yansi and others gradually became arrogant. It was only after today that they suddenly discovered that they thought they had a handle on the temperament of the officials of the Ming Dynasty and thought they could rely on them. In fact,
Not worth mentioning at all.
This Abbot Zhao was like a young man who was stunned. He acted recklessly once, stretched out his little finger and poked lightly. For him and others, the sky fell!
During the night of discussion, Li Yansi simply suggested that everyone should pay homage to Abbot Zhao again tomorrow. This time, they should admit defeat, bow their heads, apologize for those who should be punished, accept punishment for those who should be punished, and save themselves first, and wait for the opportunity after the New Year.
Qiang Xiong was extremely dissatisfied and shouted: "We party members have bowed to the White Horse Court? How can this be done? If we bow our heads today, how can we follow the example of the Three Parties in the future? I won't do it!"
Zehun said: "A man can bend and stretch, what's the point?"
Li Yansi said bitterly: "Brother, do you think I don't feel uncomfortable? The situation is stronger than others. The most urgent task is to stabilize the man named Zhao first. When the new year is over, we will go to Tianhe Palace and sue him at the Governor's Mansion for stirring up the people."
Change, sue him for humiliating our party members, and let Daomen and Mingting deal with him!"
Zehui echoed: "What the Great Zuru said is reasonable. It is really the backbone of our party! After the New Year, my younger brother and the Great Zuru went to Songzhou together to sue his surname Zhao! Tianhe Palace and the Governor's Mansion refused to listen.
, let’s go to the capital, go to Xuanyuan Temple, and go to the Chief Secretary’s Yamen to fight this lawsuit!”
Li Yansi said happily: "With two good brothers helping me, why worry about the big plan failing! Why worry about my party members not being able to stand on their own in Hongyuan! Then it's agreed that I will go to the White Horse Courtyard tomorrow morning!"
Li Yansi stretched out his palm and hung it between the three of them. Zehun stretched out his palm and patted it without hesitation. Qiangxiong shook his head, sighed, muttered something, but also put his palm up.
.
The three palms striking each other on top of each other are called Tongxin Palms. In the custom of the Dangxiang people, it is equivalent to an oath to work together to face the crisis together.
Seeing Zehun and Qiangxiong leaving, Li Yansi ordered the courtyard door to be closed tightly. He stood alone in the courtyard for an unknown amount of time. Finally, he clenched his fists and called his wife over: "How much gold and silver is hidden in the house?"
Xue Lu said angrily: "Don't you know how many more there are? I've been taking them out for the past two years, but I haven't taken them home..."
Li Yansi had no time to talk nonsense and asked: "How many more are there?"
"The banknote is only seven hundred taels, and the rest is just scraps of gold and silver..." Mrs. Xue Lu couldn't help but feel distressed: "These are the family's assets, don't give them away, okay? You have to do this for this family."
Just think about it!”
Li Yansi said solemnly: "Pack everything, including your two boxes of jewelry, and go quickly!"
Xue Lushi screamed: "God! That's my dowry. You won't even let go of my dowry. I will fight with you..."
While the three of them were discussing secretly, Abbot Zhao's room in the White Horse Courtyard was also brightly lit. Zhao Ran was discussing the next arrangements with Yuan Hao and Fangtang Master Lu.
Yuan Hao's idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to kill all the die-hard elements among the party members.
"Abbott, you can't miss this opportunity! Since the party members are causing trouble, we can just use this as an excuse to arrest all the rebellious ones, and we can rub the rest as we please."
Zhao Ran asked: "How many people are there who are said to be 'rebellious' by the prison?"
Yuan Hao muttered: "It goes without saying that the one hundred and twenty people were captured today. They must be yes. The rest will be interrogated overnight and everyone will have to explain. Anyone who complained about the passage gate or said bad things about the Ming Dynasty will be listed."
come out……"
Zhao Ran was speechless. This was to build a big prison. This idea would definitely not work. He had to cool down his temperature, so he coughed dryly: "Prison hospital, it is the end of the year, so I still have to think about the boss..."
Yuan Hao came to his senses, so he changed his mind and said: "Then... less? At least take down Li Yansi and the others?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "The idea of the prison is correct. This is the correct solution to capture the thief first."
Lu Fangzhu, who was listening clearly, asked for instructions: "Then, I will conduct a surprise trial tonight?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "This is your business, Lao Lu. You decide how to do it. I have only two requirements. First, the goal must be clear and not involve too much in the rest. The party members in Hongyuan are also wise people and cannot be expanded.
Secondly, pay attention to the method of surprise interrogation, and do not use severe torture to extract confessions. No one is allowed to become disabled or seriously injured. I want them to be able to continue working on the construction site when they get up tomorrow morning. If the beating is too harsh, there will be no reputation.
good."
Fangzhu Lu smiled and said: "Abbott, please be patient, our Fangtang has many solutions!"
Yuan Hao added from the side: "Master Lu, please keep things secret and don't alert Li Yansi and others. I know this is difficult, but I still have to try my best. They are frightened now, and they are afraid that if they don't act secretly, they will jump over the wall."
.”
Fangzhu Lu nodded: "I don't care! We have already sent people to look after the three houses. If there is any trouble, we can't hide it from us!"
