Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Qin Hui knelt there, like an old white rabbit who was wronged but did not explain.

But how could all this be hidden from Zhao Ning's eyes?

He knows that Qin Hui is difficult to deal with, and now it seems that Qin Hui is indeed more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

But Zhao Ning's sword has already come out of his body, how can he take it back?

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Gao Qiu, and he said, "Captain Gao, go and help Mr. Qin."

"Yes."

Gao Qiu walked over, helped Qin Hui up, and even said with concern: "Mr. Qin, after hearing what you said, I almost really thought that you were a worthy minister of my Great Song Dynasty."

Gao Qiu's sudden remark was a bit out of harmony, and made the surrounding people look surprised.

Gao Qiu, what do you mean, Mr. Qin is crying!

Everyone apologized!

What else do you want!

Before Qin Hui came back to his senses, Gao Qiu said again: "Mr. Qin, do you know Wang Xian from Zhengzhou?"

Qin Hui glanced at Gao Qiu, shook his head, and said, "I don't know him."

"But he knows you."

Qin Hui said again: "There are many people who know me in Song Dynasty. I really don't have the skills to know them all."

Gao Qiu looked at Qin Hui brightly, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was very calm, he said: "Wang Xian said that his whole family was executed in the pension embezzlement case in Jingkang four years ago, and you sent someone to rescue him." , these years have been hidden in Zhengzhou, recruiting more people like this for you, just in case you need it."

"I don't know this person, Captain Gao must have made a mistake."

Gao Qiu continued: "There is no mistake. He said that in many cases of the imperial court over the years, a small number of people who ransacked their homes and belonged to the Yi nationality have been transferred and replaced, and then collected and trained. Marry a wife and have children."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qin Hui's forehead in an instant. Although his expression did not change, his hands hidden under the long sleeves were trembling.

Chapter 1261 Qin Hui's Doomsday ([-]rd update)

"Qin Xianggong, do you need an official to help you wipe off your sweat?" Gao Qiu asked with concern.

"No, no need."

Gao Qiu said seriously: "Then shall we continue?"

Qin Hui's face turned blue and white, and he forced himself to be calm and said, "Please."

"This Wang Xian is in the Si Yamen of the Imperial City. Would you like to meet Mr. Qin?"

Qin Hui also smiled and said, "I don't know this Wang Xian, Gao Taiwei can't just find a cat or a dog, just say it's mine."

Gao Qiu's smile was even brighter, as bright as flowers blooming in the spring: "Hahahaha, Mr. Qin still doesn't recognize him?"

Qin Hui also smiled and said: "How do you let me recognize the nonsense?"

Everyone looked at the two people who were smiling at each other, and they didn't know that they thought they were old friends who had been separated for many years and reunited, and they were excitedly talking about their past friendship.

"That's why I asked Mr. Qin, do you want to meet?"

"So what if I see you? Could it be that Captain Gao casually finds someone to come, and when he sees me, he says he knows me and that I have raised him for so many years, and it becomes a fact? Captain Gao, if you really treat me If you have any opinions, I apologize to you, please bear with me if I have offended you, it is all for His Majesty and for the Song Dynasty, what misunderstandings cannot be resolved?"

"Qin Xianggong, it's not that the lower official has a grudge against you, but Wang Xian happened to have a secret letter. You said that this Wang Xian, he just kept it. I don't want to believe that Qin Xianggong, who has been working hard for the Song Dynasty, is The fine work of the Jinren, but the facts are in front of me, my heart hurts so much, I have to believe it."

"Oh, Taiwei Gao started imitating others to write secret letters again?" Qin Hui had a kind smile on his face, "Can you check your handwriting this time?"

"The lower officials don't have that ability. Whether they can check it or not depends on Ding Hu, the steward of the Qin family."

As soon as Gao Qiu said this, Qin Hui was almost drenched in sweat, but he remained calm.

"Captain Gao, please."

"Offended, Mr. Qin."

Immediately, Gao Qiu swaggered to the entrance of the hall with his skirt in his hand, gave some orders, and then walked back.

This process made everyone look a little inexplicable.

Wang Boyan on one side was delighted.

He originally thought that if the Secretary of the Imperial City had Li Hui's evidence, he would be able to bring Qin Hui down.

Now it seems that Qin Hui's thinking is too simple.

Qin Hui's level of meticulous thought has actually reached this point.

Fortunately, Gao Qi is not a light-hearted guy, so if he seizes the opportunity, he can immediately search for Qin Hui's fatal evidence.

Thinking of this, Wang Boyan couldn't help feeling emotional, wondering if Qin Hui regretted the step of using the dead soldiers?

Now I'm afraid I regret it.

Power struggles are like that, you can never be 100% sure what effect you will have on the situation if you step forward or wait a moment.

When faced with an emergency crisis, people instinctively try to kill all crises by any means.

But people often forget that if one more thing is done, there is one more risk.

Therefore, in ancient Chinese philosophy, there is also the saying "stop with stillness".

But when the crisis comes, how many people can really stop completely still?

In the final analysis, a political crisis is not only a test of the method itself, but also a test of the most vulnerable side of human nature.

Not long ago, part of the imperial guards of the Dianqian Division had left the palace and rushed to the gates of the outer city.

"There is an order from the imperial court to close the city gate immediately! No one can enter or leave at will!"

These imperial guards took tokens and issued orders to the guards at the gate of the city.

The merchants who just arrived at the gate of the city asked, "What about our goods?"

"Wait until the city gate is opened before running!"

"This can't work, we..."

"This is an order from the imperial court. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

The gates of the major cities were quickly closed.

At the same time, the entire palace was sealed off, and those officials in the palace who wanted to deliver letters from officials were also cut off.

Not only that, many imperial guards suddenly came to the various yamen outside the palace, and everyone was temporarily prohibited from entering and leaving.

At this time, Qin Hui's wife, Mrs. Wang, was making tea at home when a servant from outside hurried over: "Madam! Madam!"

"Why so panic?"

"There are a lot of black boots coming out!"

"Black boots?" Wang was startled, and her expression changed abruptly.

She put down the tea and hurried out with the people.

As soon as he walked to the front yard, he saw Zheng Xi leading someone in.

A smile appeared on Wang's face immediately, and she said politely: "I don't know why this Shangguan came to the humble house?"

An imperial city secretary whispered a few words in Zheng Xi's ear, and Zheng Xi said: "Madam Qin, I am a commander of the imperial city department, and I have been ordered to arrest Ding Hu, the steward of your house, please hand him over to me." come out."

"Ding Yu?" Wang said pretending to think, "He went back to his hometown to visit relatives a few days ago."

Zheng Xi smiled and said: "Mrs. Qin, don't make things difficult for us. We may know better than you whether Ding Yu is in the house or not."

The embarrassed smile on Wang's face froze.

Mrs. Wang wanted to say something, but Zheng Xi said, "We have been monitoring your residence for many days."

Only then did Wang say: "This is the mansion of the ruling officer of the current dynasty. Even if you are the chief ministers of the imperial city, you can't offend Zai Zhi like this!"

"In normal times, we naturally respect you all very much, but now someone has accused Madam that you bought dead soldiers and assassinated the emperor's personal guards. Ding Yu is the executor of the order."

Wang's legs suddenly went limp, and he said with force, "This is a frame-up!"

"If Madam doesn't hand it in, we have no choice but to search for it ourselves!"

"Come on! Search the entire Qin residence carefully!" Zheng Xi gave an order, "Don't let a single fly go!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Mrs. Wang yelled, "If you want Ding Hu, I'll leave it to you!"

She immediately ordered someone to find Ding Hu.

After a while, the servant hurried over and said in horror: "Ma'am, Butler Ding committed suicide by taking poison."

Wang was shocked: "When did it happen!"

"Last night!"

"Shangguan, this..." Mrs. Wang looked very embarrassed, "The family is unlucky!"

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Xi said, "Ding Yu's death, I already knew about it at dawn!"

Mrs. Wang was shocked by Zheng Xi's words, did he know?How did he know?

"Ding Hu was a key person before, and he is a key person now, but everyone in the Qin family is a key person now!" Zheng Xi said confidently, "Bring them all to the Imperial City Division, immediately!"

Wang was furious: "This is the executive residence, you..."

"Whoever dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Zheng Xi's voice resounded in the Qin residence, and all the officials in the imperial city drew their knives in an instant, full of murderous aura.

Chapter 1262 It's Just a Dying Struggle (Part [-])

Now Mrs. Wang became frightened.

The imperial city chiefs filed straight in.

The caretaker and nursing home of the Qin Mansion used to be aloof, but today they shrank there, not daring to show their grandeur.

Even the dog that used to be keen to bark was lying in the corner today, trembling.

Not long after, several people carried out Ding Hu's body.

"Commander Zheng, I have tested it, and it is true that he died last night. It should have been the last moment in Choushi. People in the Qin family said that he died of a serious illness."

The person who spoke was Lin Yuan, who was the head of the Imperial City Department. He was the first subordinate Zheng Xi personally promoted after he was promoted to commander, and he was the first confidant that Zheng Xi cultivated by himself.

Wang added on the side: "Shangguan, Ding Hu has been ill all along. He suddenly fell ill last night. It was really an accident. He originally planned to bury him today, but unexpectedly, the secretary of the imperial city came straight and delayed."

"Madam, you are polite, there is no delay." Zheng Xi's attitude was still very gentle.

He looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Call someone out."

Not long after, a young man in servant clothes came out.

This young man was dressed in an ordinary way, the same as countless servants of the Qin family, and looked honest.

"Tell me what you heard last night."

"Yes, last night, the villain heard the screams of struggle coming from Butler Ding's room, and vaguely heard Butler Ding's cry for help. After a while, Steward Liu came out of Butler Ding's room with someone."

Wang glanced at this servant, there was nothing special about him, but he never suspected that he was actually bought by the Imperial City Secretary.

All the servants of the Qin Mansion have been selected very strictly, and basically all of them are orphans.

Orphans will not be threatened by family members.

Moreover, the servants of the Qin family will regularly conduct ideological education, such as rewards, punishments, threats and intimidation, to ensure their loyalty to the Qin family.

Another example is that when servants go out to do errands, at least two or more people go together so that they are not easy to be bribed by others. Even if they are bribed, they are easy to be caught out in ordinary problems.

The Qin Mansion has a set of strict precautionary rules.

But obviously the Imperial City Division has a more useful means of infiltration.

Mrs. Wang said calmly, "What a coincidence, Guanshi Liu asked for leave yesterday to go back to his hometown. If Shangguan wants to find him, I will send someone to find him now."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang became a little proud, as if to say, I have expected what your Imperial City Secretary calculated.

In a word: Even if you search the entire mansion today, you still can't find any witnesses.

"How dare you bother Madam?" Zheng Xi imitated Gao Qiu's tone and said, "We helped Madam find Guanshi Liu last night."

As soon as he said this, the smile on Wang's face froze.

Zheng Xi waved his hand and said, "Come here, bring Guanshi Liu in."
