Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Since this is the case, Qin Hui didn't think of a way to counter it?"

"Cai Mao is meticulous in his actions, and Qin Hui is also very meticulous in his actions. Whether Qin Hui has found a way to counteract it, the grass people don't know."

"Okay, I understand." Zheng Xi nodded, "You follow me back to the capital."

"Can you ensure safety?" Lu Qingliu couldn't help asking.

"My Majesty's Japanese army came with me. Which one do you think has the guts to fight against the Emperor's Sixth Army? Even if you do, do you think they are opponents?"

Lu Qingliu breathed a long sigh of relief, cupped his fists and said, "After returning to the capital, how can we ensure the safety of the grassroots?"

"You have to make it clear that Cai Mao instigated Li Gang to investigate you. He didn't really want to kill you. He wanted to make things worse and let you show Qin Hui's handle in Liaodong. The one who really wanted to kill you was the upright Li Gang. , take you out of Liaodong, no one wants your life."

Lu Qingliu immediately smiled: "Official Zheng is indeed a young talent of the Imperial City Division."

What Zheng Xi said at the end was true, neither Cai Mao nor Qin Hui wanted to kill Lu Qingliu.

For Cai Mao, Lu Qingliu was a pawn used to overthrow Qin Hui at critical moments, and it was impossible to kill him at will.

Not to mention that now that the Imperial City Secretary took Lu Qingliu away, that was what Cai Mao wanted to see the most. How could he kill the key person?

As far as Qin Hui is concerned, Lu Qingliu has no information about Qin Hui, and Qin Hui still wants to rely on him to make money.

It might be Li Gang who really wanted to kill Lu Qingliu. The reason for killing Lu Qingliu was very simple: this guy really smuggled.

Zheng Xi took Lu Qing out of the house, and Zhang Chu, the judge of the Protectorate's Mansion, was still outside. When he saw Zheng Xi coming out, there was an imperceptible sneer on his face.

He walked over with someone, and said very politely: "Guan Zheng, how is the investigation?"

"That's not something you can ask."

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue and white, but instead of confronting Zheng Xi face to face, he glanced at Lu Qingliu and said to Zheng Xi: "Guan Zheng, this person is an important criminal, so he cannot come out."

"I made him come out."

"Even if it's you, it won't work."

Zheng Xi said forcefully: "When will it be your turn to point out the case of the Imperial City Commissioner?"

"You!" Zhang Chu's expression changed, but he smiled again, "This Lu Qingliu is Li Xianggong's prisoner. Even if the Imperial City Secretary wants to arrest him, he must first inform Li Xianggong, right?"

Zheng Xi looked at Zhang Chu carefully, and he said: "I, the Imperial City Division, has nothing to do with you in handling the case. What is your purpose to obstruct it now?"

"As the magistrate of Anton's Protectorate, why is it that Anton's judicial charter is my duty, but why does it seem that I am using public power for private use when I come to Zheng Guanren's place?"

"Then you, as the magistrate of the Protectorate of Andong, don't you know that in the judicial regulations of the Song Dynasty, the Imperial City Division has the highest power to arrest criminals in handling cases?"

Zhang Chu also became tough: "But this is the Anton Governor's Mansion, please Zheng Guanren must abide by the rules, otherwise it will make it very difficult for us!"

"Difficult?" Zheng Xi smiled, and suddenly drew out his sword. His action immediately caused all the imperial city officials behind him to draw their swords.

"Don't do it if it's difficult! Get out of the way obediently!"

The people brought by Zhang Chu also pulled out their knives, and he said, "Could it be that officials Zheng want to make a big fuss because of such a small matter? Could it be that officials Zheng don't know Li Xianggong's temper? You took Lu Qingliu without his consent." , I'm afraid the majesty is coming, it's not easy to use!"

Lu Qingliu immediately said, "Judge Zhang, does the mink fur coat that Caomin gave you last year still fit?"

Zhang Chu's face darkened, and he scolded, "What are you talking about!"

"I said that last year, in order to get Yanyin in Liaodong, I gave you some gifts, oh, and there are 500 coins in cash, are you satisfied?"

"You talk nonsense!" Zhang Chu said angrily, "How dare you slander me!"

Chapter 1235 Who is in control of the situation? (Second more)

Zheng Xi looked at Lu Qingliu, and immediately understood what Lu Qingliu meant. He said, "This is the judge of the Protectorate's Mansion. If you report him, you must have evidence."

"Of course there is evidence." Lu Qingliu said with certainty, "All the books are with Caomin. Last year, Caomin gave Judge Zhang's wife a perfume from Jinyufang. It was a small bottle of 10 Wen."

"Just because you opened your mouth, you want to slander me?" Zhang Chu said with a stern smile, "I am the magistrate of Andong Duhufu. Li Xianggong is upright and will not let you mess around!"

"Let's not take bribes or not, your Excellency is now a suspect." Zheng Xi waved his hand, "Catch him and assist in the interrogation."

"you dare!"

"See if I dare!"

Huangcheng Siban rushed forward and arrested Zhang Chu, but Zhang Chu's people did not dare to do anything at the critical moment.

Who dares to fight directly with the imperial secretary?

Don't want to live anymore?

"Zheng Xi! I have no grievances with you, why did you frame me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't frame you, someone reported you, I just followed the routine."

When they arrived at the Yamen of the Duhu Mansion, Zheng Xi's arrest of Zhang Chu had already alarmed Li Gang.

Li Gang put down his affairs and met Zheng Xi.

"I met Li Xianggong." Seeing Li Gang, Zheng Xi was still very restrained.

It's impossible not to restrain himself. His immediate boss Gao Qiu is here, and he has to restrain himself in front of Li Gang.

Li Gang's temper is notoriously tough, he only accepts one reason whether you are the Secretary of the Imperial City or a relative of the emperor.

You don't take it for granted, even if the emperor comes.

"You caught Zhang Chu?"

"Yes."

"why?"

Li Gang's voice was calm, but it contained a sense of power.

This power is different from Cai Mao, Qin Hui and others. People like Cai Mao and Qin Hui are naturally accumulated because they have been in high positions for a long time.

But Li Gang's power is because he believes in the right way of heaven and earth in his heart.

Once this person really has the righteous way of heaven and earth in his heart, he becomes fearless.

"Lu Qingliu reported him for taking bribes. The officials did not detain him. Instead, he was temporarily invited to investigate the truth of the matter. If it was false, he would be released naturally."

"What is your mission this time?"

"It's to interrogate Lu Qingliu."

"How did the interrogation go?"

"What Lu Qingliu told the next official is the same as what he told Li Xianggong."

"No other questions?"

"No."

What Lu Qingliu told Li Gang was completely different from what he told Zheng Xi.

If Lu Qingliu really told Li Gang what he told Zheng Xi, it would definitely cause a big earthquake in the court.

The operation of things will suddenly become a volcanic eruption, but Zhao Ning wants things to flow in the dark first, so that the situation will stabilize first.

If there was an immediate showdown, it would take several days for the news to reach the capital. Perhaps Qin Hui received the news first, or at the same time as Zhao Guan's family.

Qin Hui will immediately try all means to protect himself.

So did Cai Mao.

This is not what Zhao Ning wants.

Li Gang is a powder keg, he just does what he should do.

"Li Xianggong, this is a big matter, we need to bring Lu Qingliu back to the capital."

"Is this what the officials mean?"

"Yes."

"People can be taken away, but I will always pay attention to this matter, because the informant said that Lu Qingliu was smuggled in Liaodong, which involved the Anton Governor's Mansion. A responsible person has the right to participate at any time."

Zheng Xi finally understood why before he set off, Gao Qiu repeatedly emphasized not to confront Li Gang head-on, this guy is not easy to mess with.

"Mr. Li is righteous."

"Don't take Zhang Chu away, I will check him carefully."

"Yes."

Since Li Gang said to investigate carefully, Zhang Chu must not be able to escape.

It is estimated that Li Gang thought that since Zhang Chu had received money from Lu Qingliu, he must have also participated in the smuggling.

Li Gang will never let go of the smuggling in Liaodong!

It seems that the Anton Protectorate's Mansion still has troubles!

After coming out of the Protectorate's Mansion, Zheng Xi's whole body relaxed.

I didn't talk much with Li Gang, but the sense of oppression was too strong.

People's spiritual power can be as great as that of Li Gang, and this is the first time Zheng Xi has met.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xi suddenly realized that maybe the Zhao official family transferred Li Gang to rectify the Liaodong border trade.

That being the case, there is a high probability that a smuggling leader like Lu Qingliu will be watched by Li Gang, which the Zhao official family can definitely think of.

But Zhao Guanjia still sent Li Gang to...

Ha, Zheng Xi suddenly figured it out, he understood everything.

On the same day, Zheng Xi took Lu Qingliu on board the boat and headed all the way to Dengzhou.

April [-]th, a sunny afternoon.

In this early summer season, the petals are fragrant, smooth and moist.

Gao Taiwei hugged the beauty in his arms, the feeling was as soft as a cloud.

"Captain Gao." Liu Meng's voice was so numb that it melted people's hearts.

"Hey, beauty."

"Gao Taiwei has become much younger recently."

"It's not thanks to you."

"It seems that Taiwei Gao has been neglecting his official duties recently. He comes to the slave's house every day. If he is questioned by the officials, he may implicate the Taiwei."

"Hey, it's just a trivial matter. After I'm done, I can go back and deal with the whole day's business!"

"Don't do this, in case you are exhausted, who will I turn to if I want you in the future?"

"Ouch, little beauty, you are right, you are right."

"However, a few days ago, my family seemed to see a lot of officials from the imperial city leaving the city. Is the Taiwei going to be busy again recently?"

Speaking of this, Liu Meng deliberately squeezed Gao Qiu's suspicion.

Gao Qiu took a deep breath, and instantly seemed drunk.

"Yeah, I've been busy recently."

"What are you busy with?"

"It's not that some officials don't follow the rules and dare to do things that hurt Da Song behind their backs."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Why do you ask these?"

"I'm just curious." Speaking of this, Liu Meng immediately pressed her pink lips to hers.

After a while, Liu Meng's eyes flickered darkly, and she said, "What's the matter, I'm curious."

"Some officials are just doing business. Don't ask such disappointing things at this time. Come on, beauty, let's have a little fun. When we're done, I'll tell you slowly."

After a while, there was a sound similar to struggling.

Bianjing Qin Mansion.

After reading Yan Xiyin's letter, Lin Yifei scolded angrily: "The gold thief's request is too much! Let us find a way to transfer Yue Fei back within three months, how is this possible!"

"Don't be so reckless in your actions and words!" Qin Hui said in a deep voice, "Are you worried that people outside won't hear you?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin's teaching is correct, it is reckless to be an official."

"It's not impossible to do it in three months. Now someone in the remonstrance court is investigating Wang Gui. At this critical moment, it is the last thing to make trouble. Didn't Yang Yizhong claim to be ruthless and selfless? Didn't Lu Yihao claim to be vigorous and resolute?" Qin Hui's face showed a trace Smiling, "Look at how stern and selfless they are in this matter, and how resolute they are."
