The fourth prince, a naughty boy, spent an uneventful day at the outer city public school, but there was no peace in the capital.
Because Mr. Hong Shan was smashed on the head by a fruit, of course Zhu Tingfang didn't just punish the gangsters with a whip. He knew that Zhang Chuan, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and Duke of Qin, also wrote a letter to plead guilty. He met with people yesterday evening.
On the one hand. So starting early this morning, the Wucheng Bingma Division and the Shuntian Government Office once again joined forces to conduct a garbage classification and cleanup activity.
And when the first day of cleaning activities ended, all the former underground tycoons were invited to Xinglong Teahouse... The northwest wind blew at the door! Even though the weather has gotten warmer in the past few days, when the sun sets, the heat of the day has already subsided.
, the chill of the night has arrived early. Even though the big guys who used to hug each other were tightly wrapped, they were still so cold that they shrank their hands and feet.
However, no one in the crowd dared to whisper to each other, let alone rub their hands and stamp their feet. If Zhu Tingfang, the new official, had already seen how capable the leader of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was when he took office, then today,
The heads of several resurgent flower-patting gangs hanging at the city gate told them that this time they were not just killing chickens to scare monkeys, but it might be another big cleanup.
Not to mention, there is a former Qin Guogong on the second floor! What on earth was the emperor thinking that he pulled out all these old nobles and put them in the most important positions in the capital!
Whether they don't understand or are panicked, it doesn't help their situation at all. Even if some people are frozen, even if some people have runny noses, they still can only stand honestly and pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
I hope that I can bless them to get through this situation safely. Finally, a group of "big men" who used to make waves and call for rain waited for a voice that sounded like celestial music.
"My Lord Yin and Master Zhu have already discussed and decided that from now on, whenever someone causes trouble in the capital, unless they have the ability to confirm that they are alone under the three trees, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and the Shuntian Prefecture Yaquan
Everyone will follow the clues and check this line. At that time, I can't help it. Just like the four who paraded in the streets after the punishment today..."
"The one above them, who used to be the most powerful person in the capital and was considered the number one figure in the capital, is now even worse than them! The emperor commits crimes at his feet and is powerless to control his subordinates, so what are they left to do? Go into exile.
Let’s go to farm in Gansu!”
At this moment, a group of big bosses who had just felt that the weather was too cold and their feet were almost freezing when they stood suddenly fell silent. In the past, they might have been somewhat respectful to Lin Laohu, the executioner's head catcher, who came out to speak in front of them, and made some small moves in private.
, then they even forgot to whisper in their hearts.
With a single order, Mr. Hai, who used to have one hundred and eighty subordinates in the inner city, and was able to collect money and receive soft treatment in various endeavors, was actually uprooted like this? He was exiled to Gansu, which is the northwest. Once he arrived,
Some weather conditions are very windy and sandy, and if the Beibei attacks come, whether you can escape or not really just depends on your luck!
Therefore, everyone looked at each other, and as the first person rushed to express his determination like a vow, the others hurriedly promised that they would definitely take good care of their subordinates, and they would definitely keep an eye on the thieves on the street... In short, these people who used to be ruthless and ruthless in the past
The boss seems to be planning to change his mind and become a good person.
Of course, Lin Laohu doesn't believe that these people will really change their past and wash their hands - in this three-acre area of the capital, if these guys don't do what they are doing now, is it possible to expect them to farm and open a shop and live their lives? Even so.
If you really get rid of all this group of people, new people will naturally take advantage of it over time. This is almost an iron rule all the time.
Therefore, while everyone was rushing to express their attitude, he waved his hands angrily and said: "Okay, now that you all understand this painstaking effort, let's leave. It's going to be cold, dragging two
What it feels like to have your beaten legs paraded through the streets, no one wants to taste it.”
Under such an explicit threat, these ordinary "big men" could only obey. As the first person tentatively and cautiously left, seeing that Lin Laohu did not stop him, a large group of people suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts, and in an instant, Xinglong
In the open space in front of the tea house, there was only one tall and thin man left.
At first glance, he had a wrinkled and frowning face. If it weren't for the bright clothes, it would be hard to imagine that this tall and thin man was also the number one figure in a certain circle in the capital. He quickly came to Lin Laohu and pulled
He tried to show a smile at the corner of his mouth, but noticed that Lin Laohu looked a little disgusted, so he laughed at himself and said: "I was brought out of my mother's womb and made Mr. Lin laugh."
Seeing Lin Laohu raised his eyes impatiently, he did not dare to waste any more time and quickly said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that yesterday's incident was such a big deal, and now Qin Guogong and Zhu Dagong are also furious. I am
Don't you feel wronged for the two of them? In fact, these days, people in the capital are really talkative. Just the day before yesterday, I saw..."
He paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether to speak out. When Lin Huhu's eyes turned sharp, he said with a grimace: "I also saw a bookboy from the second prince's family secretly meet with a guard named Shi from the eldest prince's family.
.”
"Don't think I'm just talking nonsense to mess with them! The guard surnamed Shi has been working for the eldest prince all year round. Many people know him. If you check it, you will know that I am not the only one who has seen him. As for me, I am not the only one who has seen him.
I can’t tell the name of that book boy, but I’ve seen him from a distance when the Second Prince took people out a few times. His delicate features and delicate features will never be forgotten by me once I see him.”
Having said this, the tall and thin man couldn't help but lick his lips.
Those good-looking boy servants are the most expensive and rare ones on the market. They are rare and hard to find. How could he, who is in this kind of business, not remember it? He even inquired about it. It is said that the book boy of the second prince is not the emperor.
The one allocated to him was originally bought from the south at a large price to give away by someone in order to please the second prince. It cost at least a thousand guan!
Such a valuable boy servant was not sold when the emperor dismissed the slaves of the second prince's annex. Instead, he and others were driven out of the capital directly. Of course, the emperor was already very generous and even gave out part of the second prince's family wealth.
As severance package, each person received twenty guan!
After learning the news from a certain channel, he was ready to send people to guard outside the capital, trying to intercept this beauty, but in the end he failed.
This person, as well as the other servants around the Second Prince, disappeared right under the noses of his informants!
Now he learned from the people below that the book boy had appeared again. Although he wanted to put in more effort to get the person, after yesterday's incident and today's beating, he never dared to make another mistake.
Well, I simply used this as a stepping stone, hoping to win Lin Laohu's favor.
As for going further, it would be perfect if Qin Duke Zhang Chuan and even Zhu Tingfang could call him up to ask a few more questions after hearing the news.
Sure enough, when the tall and thin man said such a thing, he saw that Lin Laohu, who had just clearly not wanted to talk to him, immediately changed his expression. He stared at him for a long time, and finally said "wait", and then
He quickly entered the Xinglong Teahouse. Although it meant he had to wait outside to enjoy the breeze again, he couldn't help but look happy.
Not long after, he saw Lin Laohu coming out in a hurry. After giving him a cold look, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, you can go."
Faced with this situation that was different from what he expected, the tall and thin man was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to say a few more nice words, but when he saw Lin Laohu's joking expression, he immediately realized that he had revealed the news and could only rely on Wucheng.
The soldiers and horses of the Military and Horse Department and the officers of Shuntian Mansion Office may also be able to catch this person.
Although he was somewhat unwilling to do so, he did not dare to bargain over the decision made by the two big men. After bowing, he walked away in despair. He could only hope that the news revealed today would be of some use.
After losing a fortune, his trip was not in vain.
But what the tall and thin man didn't know was that on the second floor, Zhu Tingfang stared down at his back for a long time, then gave a few instructions to a guard beside him, and then left. This Zhu Tingfang
Only then did the young master return to the presence of Zhang Chuan, Duke of Qin, and sat down calmly.
He said bluntly: "The fourth prince claimed that when he left the palace that day, he also saw a guard named Shi beside the eldest prince on the street, and a book boy named Mo Hai beside the second prince. But what he said is right.
.But the more this happens, the more it seems as if someone else deliberately put these two people into the capital to confuse the public."
"I don't think that just two people can turn the situation around." Zhang Chuan nodded in agreement, but his brows were furrowed, "But I doubt that since they brought them in, they wanted to do something through them.
so……"
"So we really have to find a way to arrest them, and we can't let them go. After all, I remember when we kicked people out of the capital, they said they were never allowed to return to the capital. In this case, how did they get back through the city defenses? And if they could do this
It’s easy to enter the city, wouldn’t it be easy for someone with ulterior motives to sneak into the capital?”
After asking two questions in succession, Zhu Tingfang raised the tea cup on the table and drank half of it in one breath, then started laughing. However, when the smile appeared on the majestic face in the past, it was now because of the shallow scar.
And it seemed a little murderous.
If the standards for selecting officials in the past were followed, it would be difficult for someone with a bad appearance like him to succeed to the position of Duke of Zhao in the future, let alone take charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. However, the emperor did not care at all. When he summoned him that time, he even
He personally pulled him in front of him to examine the wound, and then lamented that he didn't have a son like him.
It was precisely because the emperor treated his father and son like family members, and even treated Zhu Ying like his own daughter. After Zhu Tingfang went to see Chief Hong Shan last night in person and learned about Zhang Shou's meeting during the day, he was angry and funny at the same time.
I was also secretly vigilant because of Hong Shanchang's words. Someone actually planned to slander the emperor and frame him for injustice? This is absolutely intolerable!
Because of this, he made it clear that he wanted to arrest those two people, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan revealed unquestionable determination.
If Zhang Chuan disagreed, he would naturally plan to take on this responsibility independently and personally preside over the investigation and arrest. Before that, he had already sent a guard to sneak up on the tall and thin man just now.
Because judging from what the other party just revealed, he must have some idea of the whereabouts of the two people who reported the whistleblower. However, when Zhang Chuan's attitude was still unclear, he was too lazy to bargain with a little person, so he might as well
Play the long game to catch the big fish.
However, Zhang Chuan, who always follows the rules and follows the rules and is low-key, has a very straightforward attitude this time: "Then it's up to you. In terms of hunting, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division will take the lead, and the three squadrons of Shuntian Mansion will serve as assistants. But
If you report it, if it turns out there was a conspiracy later, it will be your credit, but if there is any other reason, I will bear the responsibility."
"How can this be done!"
Zhu Tingfang was about to refuse without even thinking about it. It could be seen that Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan looked at him with a smile. Thinking that the people who had written letters of apology before had beaten him to it, and he had always been unconcerned, he hesitated for a moment, and finally could only say with a bitter smile: "Yes."
The credit belongs to me, and the responsibility lies with Uncle Shi. If my father finds out, I'm afraid I will be scolded to death by him! In that case, let's advance and retreat together."
Zhang Chuan rolled up his sleeves and stood up. When he saw Zhu Tingfang also standing up, he said with a smile, "Your sister's wedding is coming soon, but yours is even closer. Even if I can't give you a credit, I can't give you a bad name! You
Stop arguing with me. When that boy of mine gets married, if you have to take responsibility for me, I will do whatever you want!"
Zhu Tingfang couldn't laugh or cry immediately after all these words were thrown at him. He also knew that Zhang Chuan had entrusted Zhang Chen's marriage to Zhang Shou, and Zhang Shou had entrusted Zhu Ying to help others, and as a result, his sister was busy with her work in high spirits.
It's been a long time since I met someone with a girl named Ye not long ago, but it didn't work out again.
Therefore, even though he usually treats most senior or older nobles very well, when faced with the stubborn Zhang Chuan, he could only thank him with a wry smile and did not dare to talk randomly.
After the two of them discussed it, Zhang Chuan, who was in charge of the Shuntian government office last night, returned to the Duke of Qin's office tonight, and Song Tuiguan was in charge of the Shuntian government office. Zhu Tingfang, after explaining the evening patrol, also went home to create a gradually relaxed posture, and then secretly
Elite soldiers and generals were deployed to attack at any time, and then they both got up and left.
When Zhang Chuan and Zhu Tingfang walked out of the Xinglong Teahouse one after another, Zhu Hong, who had been following Zhu Ying in and out these days, hurriedly came over. He jumped off the horse and rushed to Zhu Tingfang, and hurriedly held his hand.
After that, he said bluntly: "Duke Qin, the eldest son, I just received the news that the fourth prince was dependent on Mr. Shou after he was kicked out of the palace by the emperor this morning."
The fourth prince was at Zhang Shou's place, and both Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Chuan knew about it. Zhang Chuan even said with a smile: "The emperor is still angry. Why, did Zhang Xueshi send the fourth prince back to the palace now?"
?”
"It would be great if it is." Zhu Hong said with a helpless smile, "Master Shou just threw the fourth prince into the dormitory of the public school!"
