the enlightener says

This grocery store is very large, and its layout is not at all like a place selling a lot of large and small items, but rather like a shop for stacking goods, and Qin Ke just stepped on the goods at the corner of the stairs, and his whole body was full of excitement. Quickly rushed to the second floor.

The people from the school affairs office followed closely behind. The shield soldiers resisted the knives and axes cut from upstairs, and at the same time they roared and stabbed the steel knives in their hands. A shield soldier from the school affairs office was directly hit by one person and fell from the floor , Then "plop plop" rolled down from the upstairs, and in the process, the two were constantly competing for the strength to press on each other's body.

Unfortunately, this is not a brothel, and there will be no fragrance. Both of them tried their best. At the same time, after the enemy from the grocery store found that the sword in his hand had fallen off, he decisively drew out his dagger and directly stabbed the shield soldier. shoulders.

"Hiss..." the shield soldier bared his teeth and let out a cry of pain. At the same time, his eyes were red, and his two hands, which were like pouring steel, tightly pinched the enemy's throat. At the same time, he elbowed the hand holding the dagger directly, and again There was a tumble on the ground.

But the entire downstairs seems to be a one-sided victory for the school affairs office. Although there are many practitioners in the grocery store, there are not as many as the school affairs office.

In this way, in just a dozen or so breaths, the downstairs was basically wiped out, and only five people were injured on the side of the school affairs office, and not even one person died, but each of them was panting heavily.

But they didn't have time to stay. After finishing dealing with the people downstairs, they left a few people to guard the captives, and the others hurried upstairs again, making the rough stairs make a "thump, thump, thump" sound.

On the second floor, the battle was far more intense than the one below. Although the three young masters were already very powerful, Gong Wu who walked out of the room at the first time was obviously stronger than Hu guessed. A long knife was in his hand like The willow leaves fluttered, seemingly light, but powerful and heavy. Just one person suppressed the two young masters almost unable to lift their heads.

And his assistant is a barbarian warrior, who is tall and uses a heavy hammer with a long handle. At first, Qin Ke thought that such a weapon would be inconvenient in such a space upstairs, but the fact is that this person doesn't care at all. What doors, windows, ceilings, pillars, as long as he swung it, they were all smashed into pieces.

Qin Kecai backed away to avoid the heavy hammer, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then the Bodhisattva sword came out, directly cutting Gongwu's long sword for a detective captain surnamed Zhao beside him. Before the detective captain had time to thank him, he then There was a "boom", and the pillar was smashed down by the barbarian warrior again, and a large piece of it collapsed.

"The house is going to collapse!" Qin Ke cursed, and then he blocked the barbarian warrior with a Bodhisattva sword, and knocked the tiger aside, letting him and the other two detective captains go to deal with Gong Wu.

The spies from the school affairs office rushed upstairs. They had reloaded the previous crossbow bolts downstairs just now, so they could fire another arrow at this time. With the sound of chi chi, the six crossbow bolts flew in two When they went out, half of them passed by Gong Wu's side, and the other half were chopped down by Gong Wu with a long knife.

And taking advantage of Gong Wu's arrogance being suppressed, the tiger shouted angrily, raised his knife and cut directly within three steps of Gong Wu, forcing Gong Wu to retreat, and when the other two saw the tiger's bravery, they also rushed from the left and right. Attack forward and suppress Gong Wu.

Qin Ke confronted that barbarian warrior by himself, and felt that this man was extremely powerful. Every time the Bodhisattva sword collided with the heavy hammer, the force bounced back, causing his arm to ache.

However, with his current cultivation base, it is not impossible to defeat this person, but if he does not use the things at the bottom of the box, it will be difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

The lightning in his body is obviously unusable, because it is a kind of uncontrollable indiscriminate bombing. If he really throws it out, not only the barbarian warrior in front of him, but even the people in the school office will be killed. Get involved.

Naturally, while maintaining his suppression, he used the Qijin sword to find gaps, and after a few encounters, the barbarian warrior was also hit a few times, but instead of retreating, this guy became more and more courageous as he fought like a bear, roaring again and again Pounced on.

So... are you barbarians crazy?

Qin Ke cursed secretly, seeing the dark shadow falling towards him like a mountain, he stepped back a few steps and at the same time kicked away a spy from the school office who wanted to take advantage of the gap to swing a knife, then closed his eyes slightly With his eyes closed, the Xunfeng technique drives Qifeng to walk around him, making him faster, so he can avoid the terrible hammer directly by a hair.

He is not in a hurry to defeat the opponent, he just hopes to hold back this person's momentum.

And it was precisely during the time he bought that the people from the school office began to throw hook claws, piercing the body of the barbarian warrior at a very tricky angle. It was very difficult, and it was even more inconvenient for the barbarian warriors to behave in such a battle.

This is the ability of the school office. Although they may not have many top experts, they cooperate with each other very tacitly. The crossbow bolts relax the muscles, and it is impossible to know how many masters can be defeated by these three axes alone.

The barbarian warrior is not a detached person. Compared with Gong Wu, his strength is after all weaker. Even if these hooks and locks are difficult to penetrate his strong body, as long as he fights, these hooks and locks will be in the school office. Under the pull of the spies, he sank deeper and deeper until he entered the flesh.

And Gong Wu also saw that the barbarian warriors could not last long, his eyes changed slightly, and with a swipe of the long knife, a gust of wind was blown up, blowing the tiger so hard that he couldn't open his eyes: "The school office? Do you know who I am?"

"Of course we know who you are." Hu said hoarsely. From the beginning of the fight, Gong Wu's strength has completely exceeded their expectations. He is also a small master, but Gong Wu is still invincible against the three of them alone. Land, it seems that the guard of this old man Gao is really extraordinary.

When Qin Ke left Gao's mansion, Gao Yanzong once confidently said that anyone who wanted to get close to the old man would only seek death by himself.

This is also based on trust in Gong Wu's strength.

"You know who I am, how dare you do this?" Gong Wu's eyes were cold, and at the same time, the second knife was spit out from the scabbard. It was recorded in the file of the school affairs office that he had a vassal blood, and in that vassal The most famous sword technique in China is a kind of yin and yang sword technique known as the "two days first class" of the Gong family.

The three little grandmasters did their best in the face of such a respectable and formidable master, and the entire second floor of the shop quickly became a mess.

With the strength of the little master, I am afraid that the entire building can be demolished. Of course, Qin Ke also knows this. Seeing that the demolition of the entire second floor is a foregone conclusion, he simply consciously controls the "demolition" during the battle with the barbarian warriors "Room", so as not to hurt those spies from the school office who are unable to resist due to the damage and fall of the roof above...

Chapter 6 The Fuse of the Controversy Between the Two Factions

Finally, the barbarian warrior showed signs of decline.

The spies of the school affairs office are experienced after all, although at first they were suppressed by the force of the two young masters upstairs, but soon they calmed down, and after finding that the crossbow arrows could hardly get close to Gong Wu's body, they turned around one after another. Target.

The crossbow machine was constantly loaded and pulled, and those crossbow bolts that were not blocked by the long-handled warhammer directly pierced through the breastplate and leg armor of the barbarian warriors made of cowhide, and went straight into the flesh.Those well-prepared poisons were stimulated, and immediately traveled around the body along the blood, so the movements of the barbarian warrior became softer.

The barbarian warrior felt the pain from the hooks and arrows on his body, cursed in barbaric language with his eyes red, and at the same time swung his long-handled warhammer and rushed up again. Seeing the power, he almost smashed everyone in front of him into minced meat.

Naturally, Qin Ke wouldn't let him do whatever he wanted. With a flick of his wrist, the Bodhisattva Sword was like a wall tightly sealing off all his attacks, and even formed a piece of sword light behind him, which made the barbarian warrior unable to open his eyes. Eye.

Qijinjian, Begonia.

These moves have already become very powerful under Qin Ke's continuous tempering, and he also deliberately took advantage of the hooks and locks of the school office to keep stabbing them from tricky places, so the Bodhisattva sword was once again used on the barbarian warriors. A dozen holes were made.

As soon as the blood leaked out, the energy and blood became weak, and the poison had completely exploded at this time, the barbarian warrior at the level of the little master finally couldn't hold on, and the knee of one leg slammed on the floor.

He seemed to be a little puzzled, not understanding why he had become so powerless, and at the same time, his eyes were covered with mist, and the spies from the school office shouted angrily, and yanked back the hook lock in their hands, which directly involved him. Made him stagger.

Finally, under the unreasonable and insidious tricks of the school affairs spies, the barbarian warrior closed his eyes and passed out, his heavy body hit the floor, causing a burst of dust.

Qin Ke subconsciously glanced at the scouts from the school affairs office with excited eyes behind him, and was secretly stunned. I am afraid that any practitioner would be very aggrieved when faced with such an existence as the school affairs office.

On the other side, Gong Wu remained unchanged in the face of the siege of the three, and even tore the formation of the three into pieces with two long knives. Instead, they have the aura of seeing death as home, and they can watch and help each other, so I am afraid they have already lost.

Qin Ke was also secretly startled when he saw Gong Wu's sword technique, but this also proved that this person had the ability to imitate Xue Gong's sword technique, so he didn't stay any longer. Spit out from under the elbow, and fought with Gong Wu.

With the addition of Qin Ke, Gong Wu alone has to face four master masters, and Qin Ke's strength is obviously higher than that of the three detective captains of the school affairs office. The speed is getting faster and faster, but no matter how fast he is, it's like a fight between trapped beasts.

What's more terrible is that after the barbarian warrior was dealt with, the spies of the school office had already taken off the hook lock on the barbarian warrior, and many people had re-wound the crossbow, sharpening their knives and preparing to shoot at him, the only surviving warrior. The master launched a siege.

"Stop!" Gong Wu raised his voice, "I surrender."

Perhaps to prove the sincerity of this sentence, he stomped his legs on the ground, turned into a soaring eagle and flipped in the air, and moved back five steps, avoiding the continuous contact with the four of them. fight.

"Stop!" Gong Wu had loosened the two long knives by half, and lifted them to the height of his shoulders. Looking from Qin Ke's direction, it looked like a cross.

"Throw down the knife, we will give you the last dignity." Tiger said hoarsely.

Complicated lights flashed in Gong Wu's eyes, which changed constantly, and finally he sighed. He threw the two long knives directly downwards, and with a "clang", they easily pierced the floor until they slid to the bottom. Get stuck in the gauntlet.

A group of people from the school affairs office rushed up non-stop, wrapped chains around him more than a dozen times, and the two detective captains even locked his arms one by one, so they were relieved.

Gong Wu didn't intend to try to break free from the chains. On the one hand, he knew that these chains were specially made by the school office to deal with practitioners like them. The little grandmaster's pursuit, so he just watched a few people coldly.

"Isn't the duty of the school affairs office to investigate those officials who are corrupt and violate the law? Why is it that one of my guards has been attacked now?"

"We arrested you, of course there is a reason for arresting you." Hu also looked at him mercilessly, "Secret armor, intending to rebel, no matter what crime it is, it is enough to behead you for public display."

"Secretly hiding armor, intending to rebel?" Gong Wu looked a little puzzled, and sneered again: "To add a crime, huh, no wonder everyone said that the school office has a bunch of barking and biting wild dogs. Ridiculous."

"Bastard!" Almost immediately, Hu grabbed Gong Wu's neckline with one hand, and lifted him up, pressing Gong Wu's chin. There was a killing intent in Hu's eyes, "Are you Do you really think we dare not kill people?"

"Of course you dare." Gong Wu still had no fear on his face, "but please figure out what crime you are going to kill me for. If it's just the nonsense reason you said before, I'm afraid the court will be raging, and the one of you will be the one to do it." Zhou Gongjin couldn't bear the recent school affairs. Don't forget, there is not only one piece of sky above Jianye, and even the prime minister can't do whatever he wants."

"Take it away!" Hu yelled angrily, so the people from the school affairs office escorted Gong Wu and the people caught downstairs all the way out of the shop.

As for the barbarian warrior on the ground, the people below also arranged a prison cart, because it was specially used for masters like the little master, so from the appearance, it was simply an iron box, airtight from top to bottom, with only a small opening on the top of the head.

Qin Ke withdrew his eyes from the barbarian warrior with some pity, and then looked at the tiger. At this time, the tiger was inspecting the boxes of "goods" in the shop, and he opened the first box, and there was a silver light shine.

After Qin Ke helped him open them one by one, he found that there were different kinds of gold and silver in the box, agate, pearl, emerald, jade, etc., but there was no armor or weapon.

"What's the situation?" Qin Ke touched his dazed eyes, "So much money, but there is no goods at all?"

"Maybe they have other channels, but they just pay first." Hu was not surprised by this. After all, hiding armor is a felony, and it is impossible to transport it casually in the city, and even divide it into multiple steps. It is zero, and it is transported into Jianye little by little.

"Since Gong Wu has been caught, as long as there is a first trial, everything will be clear." The tiger who had calmed down felt the pain at this time. Just now he was cut by Gong Wu's long knife on his right hand, and almost lost his entire arm. The result is not bad, he is very satisfied.

However, neither of them expected that the development of things the next day would exceed their expectations.

Jing Wu, Jian Ye Chaotang.

As Gong Wu said, today's Jingwu can be said to be divided into two worlds, and the first to bear the brunt is naturally the newcomers headed by Zhuge Wanling. Born Bai Ding.

Of course, the fact that most of them are born in Baiding does not mean that Zhuge Wanling's faction doesn't understand government affairs. On the contrary, under the deliberate training of Zhuge Wanling, these people have already become talents who can stand alone. There are also many gentry attached to them, and their strength is very strong, such as Gao Changgong's Gao family.

The other faction was led by Sun Zhong back then, and is now headed by Sun Ji'an, a gentry group that has taken root in the court for many years.

Since the establishment of Jingwu, it has long been no secret that the gentry looked down on those who came from poor backgrounds, but once this became a characteristic of a party, it laid the foundation for the incompatibility between the two.

What's more, although Zhuge Wanling unified the state of Wu and established Jingwu, it also reduced the power of the gentry to a certain extent, making them no longer as free and easy as the emperors of the earth. Those who harbor resentment intend to regain the power of the gentry There are always a lot of people.

Today's Jingwu Chaohui, it was Gong Wu's arrest that caused the two factions to quarrel.

Chapter 681 Zhou Lang, who said he was sick and could not go to court

Accompanied by the warm spring breeze, the two young eunuchs on duty squinted their eyes and looked at the falling sunlight. They were a little sleepy for a while, but now is definitely not the time to go back to sleep, so they only dared to look around cautiously to make sure After being discovered, he lowered his head and yawned.

"What's the noise inside? I can't understand. But listening to the commotion inside, it seems like a fight is about to start." The eunuch on the left asked curiously.

It was the first time for him to be on duty outside this hall today, and he felt a little itchy when he thought that the big shots in Jingwu were talking about things that they would never have access to in their entire lives.

The eunuch on the right has obviously seen a lot of the market, so he is not surprised by the three-day small quarrel and five-day big quarrel, and even finds it boring.

"It seems that everyone is scolding Mr. Zhou. It is said that the school affairs office arrested Mr. Gao's guard two days ago. He was charged with attempting to rebel, so all the adults are not happy, saying that the rebellion is nothing at all. Mr. Zhou is clearly a lie. With the power of the school affairs office snatching charges, he is arrogant and domineering."

"Master Zhou?"

The eunuch on the left was slightly surprised. Of course he had seen Zhou Gongjin. After all, Zhou Gongjin, as the school official, came into the palace to report to Zhuge Wanling. Lighting up lanterns to lead the way, we talked and laughed all the way, and it feels much easier to get along with than those elders with their eyes above their heads."

The eunuch on the right shook his head: "Who knows, maybe Mr. Zhou has a good temper because he is in the palace, and he may be so arrogant when he is out of the palace."

The eunuch on the left looked complicated, and seemed to have thought about it, and said in a low voice: "I still don't think Mr. Zhou is a domineering person."

"It's either that those adults just want to slander Mr. Zhou, anyway, there is always a reason. Listen, they all jointly want to remove Mr. Zhou's officials. Anyway, this court is safe for a few days all year round."

The eunuch on the right is older, so his speech also has a bit of a senior taste: "You, your qualifications are still too low. After you have heard a lot, you will not be surprised. These adults can do things mysteriously. Sometimes they talk It says they want to eat watermelon, but they may actually want to eat peaches, and sometimes they fart standing up, maybe they want to sit and shit."

"What watermelon shit... I don't understand." The eunuch on the left said with a sad face, "I'm a little hungry after you say that. I only had time to eat a bowl of porridge in the morning, and now my stomach is already empty."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the hand of the eunuch on the right move, reaching into his sleeve like a flexible snake. The rough touch seemed to be something familiar in his memory, and then the graininess of sesame seeds made him quickly Understand what it is.

He was nervous for a while, and immediately widened his eyes, looking around for fear of being discovered by others, but he couldn't help holding the pancake.

"Where did you get the pancakes?"

"Hey, don't you know? That's why I said you still have too little qualifications." The eunuch on the right shook his head triumphantly, "I can tell you, even if we don't have anything to do on weekdays, we have to stand for a long time. The master is not happy, and it is common for him not to let you rest for a day and a night. Then you will be so hungry, who will you complain to? So, remember to stuff some snacks on your body, maybe it will come in handy at any time."

The eunuch on the left still had a nervous expression on his face: "Isn't that good? What if we are found out? It will be decapitated..."

"What are you afraid of, be careful, just don't eat in front of people, even if others guess it, they always turn a blind eye. Look at those imperial guards, who come and go, who doesn't have something in their arms? ? Everyone is working in the palace together, so there is no need to make trouble with us for such a trivial matter."

Probably because he felt that the eunuch on the left was too timid, the eunuch on the right added with a sideways glance: "Besides, our life is not bad, and we met a good master. The prime minister is a benevolent master, and he bumped into me several times. He didn’t blame him for stealing food, and once even gave us two unused dishes. I have never tasted the dishes made by the imperial chef in my life, that’s really... tsk tsk..."

As if convinced by his words, the eunuch on the left finally moved cautiously. Although the pancake seemed to have been placed for a long time, it still exuded the aroma of sesame seeds. He took a bite, and his mouth was already full of food The smell of it immediately revived the whole person, and his eyes lit up.

"The prime minister is indeed a good man. I heard that there used to be a king in the state of Wu who usually took down people to vent his anger. Later, to win favor with his concubine, he started shooting servants with bows and arrows. Many people died in a short time."

He didn't dare to chew, for fear of making a sound, so he could only swallow the pancakes into his stomach after moistening them with saliva.

After swallowing a few sips, he seemed to think of something, and said sadly: "It's just a pity, such a good person, who can take care of the people at the bottom, and can restrain the officials at the top, has ended up in such a poor body. I have been critically ill several times, and now I hang my life with the magic medicine of a miracle doctor, alas, God is so cruel..."

Just at this time, there was another commotion in the main hall. It seemed that some civil servants began to scold fiercely. There were many quotations from the scriptures, and the two uneducated eunuchs were naturally confused.

But the two of them got a rough idea, they were still accusing Zhou Gongjin of being treacherous and misbehaving, not being present on such an important day as the court meeting, simply despising the court, an unforgivable crime, should be beheaded and so on.

The two eunuchs were dumbfounded, thinking that today's incident seemed to be a big deal, and it was said that Gao's family and the army were involved.

As a matter of fact, that Gongwu did not smuggle or hide armor, but has been doing business with horse dealers privately for Mr. Gao, buying some fine breeds from the northern barbarians, and then selling them at low prices to the army for breeding. The country did its best.

After all, under Cao Meng's ban, the entire Northern Man did not dare to sell war horses to Jing Wu. Except for the [-] war horses that Cang Hai generously sent back then, other good Northern Man horses could only be obtained through various secret means.

Of course, according to the law, Gong Wu is still guilty and should be arrested.

But even if Zhuge Wanling didn't care about the Gao family's face, he had to consider whether doing so would chill the hearts of a group of people who are loyal to the country.

But the two eunuchs naturally didn't think about it deeply, they only thought that it was only three days since the incident happened, why Zhou Gongjin just said that he was sick and couldn't come to court today, obviously to avoid the insults from these adults, he was really very witty.

However, neither of the two eunuchs would have guessed that today's Zhou Gongjin really didn't deliberately claim to be sick, he was sick, and the illness was not serious.

In the school office, Qin Ke looked at Zhou Gongjin's pale complexion and the quilt tightly wrapped around him, and for a moment doubted whether the person in front of him could continue to finish his sentence, but seeing his appearance, It really has the taste of "dedicate yourself to death".

"Gong Wu can't stay for long, we have to get him out of the prison as soon as possible. This time, there was a big fuss, he was arrested, and it turned out that it wasn't a case of hiding armor. If it wasn't for me not being able to go to court today, I'm afraid I would have been arrested by the officials." I was drowned in saliva." Zhou Gongjin lowered her head, stretched out one hand from the quilt, and held the case file tremblingly, as if she was a little helpless with this result.

Hu, on the other hand, stood beside Qin Ke with some shame, almost buried his head in the ground, and said in a low voice, "It's the subordinate's fault. The subordinate didn't plan well enough to let the adults bear the responsibility... I implore you, my lord." Report the mistakes of the subordinates, kill and cut, let them go..."

Zhou Gongjin was naturally clear about the cause and effect of the matter, so she didn't blame her, but laughed and scolded: "Push you out? I haven't acted like this as a school official. What's more, I'm your chief official. Even this You can't handle everything, so how can you convince the public in the future? Actually... I don't think you made a mistake. The investigation is not accurate, and Gong Wu is indeed acting suspiciously. Adding that sachet, it is inevitable to ask understand."

But he still sighed and said: "However, this matter is far more complicated than it seems on the surface, so the most difficult thing now should be the prime minister's side."

Qin Ke also frowned and said: "Yes, this action resulted in the death of five of the barbarian named Kartai and the injury of thirteen. I am afraid that under Kartai's anger, the business of the northern barbarian horses will not be able to be done. I It is also heard that Kartai was born in the Pasu Tribe, the third tribe in the grassland, and is somewhat related to King Khan. If he is released this time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect the position of King Khan of the Pasu Tribe towards Jingwu. If they Therefore, King Khan ordered the herdsmen not to sell horses to Jingwu privately, and it will be difficult for Jingwu to buy good horses from these horse dealers in the future."

If it continues like this, the courtiers will have more reason to impeach Zhou Gongjin, and even use this as a point to directly attack the entire school affairs office.

And the faction of gentry headed by Sun Ji'an has always regarded the school government as a thorn in their side, if they can find a reason to pull it out, they will definitely spare no effort...

Chapter 682 Xiao Qiao's Perfect Immortal Soup

Qin Ke also gradually realized that the closer to the center of power like Jianye City, the more he couldn't just focus on one place, because any little thing may contain amazing things behind it.

Jingwu's court situation is inherently complicated. Once someone with a heart takes advantage of it and adds fuel to the flames, it will immediately cause a big change. Zhou Gongjin is now at the center of this incident, and all eyes will be on him, only to see what he will do next. How to do it.
