【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

During the autumn and winter of the sixth year of Qingli, the Great Song Dynasty was subjected to a huge civil and military official replacement. However, in just a few months, many corrupt officials, secret agents and inner ghosts were all implicated and sacked. The crime of treason, colluding with other parties in the Great Xia, concealing and deceiving the superiors, harming the government, colluding with drug dealers and doing evil, disturbing the peace of the world.

And the people who launched this bloody coup d'état against the rebel officials and ghosts were the mercenary reformers headed by Fan Zaizhi and fully supported by Prince Zhao, Wei Zhuoran and others. They kept a low profile for two years and secretly wiped out all In 21 poison lairs, 76 traitors with serious crimes were uncovered. On the night of the winter solstice, together with the remnants of the alien party in the court, a total of more than [-] people were sentenced to be beheaded in the prison camp in the west of the city.

But Wang Kuan and the others finally waited for the opportunity to truly turn the tide against the wind, and even more so for the opportunity to clear Yuan Zhongxin's grievances.

It is said that on the night before the winter solstice, Wang Kuan, Zhao Jian, Liang Zhu and others escorted Meng Tianyang and others from the streets of Kaifeng to the gate of the imperial city. Haohao rushed straight to the palace gate, and let the prisoners line up without even closing the gate. He also ordered Xuanwu soldiers to stand guard inside and outside the palace gate with cold swords in their hands, forcing the current emperor to come out all night dressed in clothes and hats. They, the sage, were flustered and mistakenly thought that Wang Kuan was here to force the palace, and they almost forgot to put on their shoes.

Wang Kuan, dressed in a black robe, walked slowly to the front of the line. His eyes were cold, his face was frosty, and there was a light smile on his lips, but his expression was full of murderous intent. He raised his eyes and stared at the stone steps standing not far away. The emperor of the Song Dynasty on the top bent his body slightly, and his movements were elegant and natural: "The next is Wang Kuan, the son of the current king who participated in politics. It is really rude to disturb the Holy Majesty to rest tonight."

The emperor glanced at the hundreds of people who were shivering and panicking on the ground, fear flashed across his eyes, and then his face showed sullenness. He flicked his wide and long sleeves vigorously, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and said in a hateful voice: "Wang Kuan, you are so big!" You have the guts to break into the palace without my permission, and even arrest my capable officials here, why are you doing this!"

Wang Kuan said it nicely, he used modest words such as "harassment" and "disrespect". The emperor looked left and right, but he didn't see where his disrespectful attitude appeared, but he saw a bit of rebellion. .

Wang Kuan spoke calmly, and there was no trace of nervousness on his handsome and meticulous face: "In the past few days, all the poison lairs of Wushisan in the territory of the Song Dynasty have been destroyed. I will bring the Xuanwu army led by Liang Dutou, Prince Zhao, Mr. Wei's power, but all the officials involved in the poisonous nest have been arrested, and the witnesses and evidences are all convincing—Holy Majesty is wise, and please issue an order to make the final judgment."

The emperor in the golden dragon robe was ashen-faced and furious. He slapped the stone pillar beside him with one palm and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! You are forcing me to kill hundreds of good ministers in vain just because you live alone? What are your intentions!"

The hundreds of court officials below are all his right-hand men, his confidantes, if he wants to kill them all, what ability does he have to stabilize the government and keep his current throne!

What Wang Kuan did was to kill all his wings in full view!If he really followed his will, inside and outside the Song Dynasty, it would be the opposite!

Wang Kuan was not afraid at all, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, he sneered back: "It is a good thing for the Holy One to be merciful, but don't let it be used by those who have a heart. Since the Holy Majesty can’t see the truth clearly, I will do my best to make the truth known to the world—someone, bring up all the account books of the poisonous nest, and let the Holy Majesty have a look!”

As soon as the words were finished, two men in corseted black clothes came up pushing a four-wheeled wooden cart, which was filled with blue account books one after another.

Wang Kuan looked coldly at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have brought the evidence you want."

The emperor was so angry that he was dizzy in front of his eyes. He stared at Wang Kuan with hatred, and his murderous intent rose. He really wanted to order someone to finish Wang Kuan on the spot, but he didn't dare. The forces behind Wang Kuan were too strong. Zhao Wangye's relatives and power, Wei Zhuoran and Wang Canzheng's cronies, Liang Zhu's Xuanwu Army, and even Gao Liyu's army behind Xiaojing and the private soldiers of the famous merchants in the Song Dynasty, are they not allowed to be assigned by him and obey his orders?

In the past two years, he watched Wang Kuan continue to fill up his strength, but he was helpless. The mercenary plan and his conspiracy with Daxia to kill Yuan Zhongxin were tightly grasped by Wang Kuan. He, Wang Kuan is so angry that he wants to fight to the death, he can't get any benefits at all, very likely, he has to abandon his car to save his soldiers, even the emperor can't do it!

It took only two years to make the Great Song Dynasty upside down. Except for the veterans of the founding dynasty, the emperor rarely encountered such characters, and he didn't know how to deal with Wang Kuan.

Wang Kuan tilted his head with interest: "Why, the Holy Majesty is too tired and doesn't want to read it? No problem, I will let these people read out their crimes one by one until you are satisfied." He turned around and casually He took out an account book, threw it in front of the hopeless Meng Tianyang, and said coldly, "Read."

Meng Tianyang immediately trembled, and tremblingly picked up the account book in front of him, so horrified that he couldn't even speak: "October... the first day, the sixth day, Yonghua mansion, Yonghua crossing, scattered... eleven boxes... ..."

Wang Kuan glanced at him, and casually cleaned his cuffs: "Can't read? Or can't read? You can't read well, how can the Holy Majesty hear you clearly?"

Meng Tianyang was terrified, and Wang Kuan's words made him lose all reason. He threw away the account book in his hand, prostrated himself on the ground in horror, and shouted in a hurry: "My lord! My lord! You deserve to die! You plead guilty! You deserve death for your crimes! ! And ask the Holy Spirit to give me a death sentence!"

As soon as these words came out, other officials who had been trembling like a flock of quail immediately echoed, and all of them confessed their guilt readily, but asked for a quick death.

They must not fall into Wang Kuan's hands!Absolutely not!

Up to now, more than two months have passed since the day they were arrested, and they were imprisoned in the prison camp in the west of the city, and they saw the most terrifying and terrifying scene in their lives - the chef who poisoned Yuan Zhongxin was so rotten that he could no longer see it. Out of the human form, even the intestines and liver have flowed all over the ground, but for some reason, he is still hanging for a breath, struggling day by day, but he can't die.

And dozens of them, under Wang Kuan's careful arrangement, lived near the chef's cell, listening to the chef's groans from hell every day and night, smelling the pungent smell of blood, and watching the chef turn into a mess. A puddle of carrion and pus, before death, there is no peace. For them, all these are tortures comparable to capital punishment!

If the emperor does not order them to die, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The emperor was so angry that he almost passed out, staggered slightly backwards, and was immediately supported by his subordinates. He stared angrily at the group of people who had given up even struggling in fear, his face was pale. This group of people he wanted to use The chess pieces against Wang Kuan completely lost the courage to face Wang Kuan. How will he cultivate his power in the future? !

Wang Kuan sneered mockingly, turned around and shifted his gaze to the emperor, and said meaningfully: "My lord, what do you think, these are all confessed by themselves, and I have never coerced them."

The emperor glared at Wang Kuan indignantly, he gritted his teeth secretly, his face turned white and red, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Everyone makes mistakes, not to mention that there are many doubts about the poisonous nest eradication. It is more appropriate to wait for a detailed investigation in the future before making a judgment."

Hearing this, Zhao Jian and the others were all stunned, looking at the emperor with a look of disgust as if they wanted to look at a fool.

Wei Yanei sneaked close to Zhao Jian, Xue Ying and others, and Yu Zu whispered disgustedly: "I'll go, how did this guy become the emperor, with this brain, being my father is not enough!"

Or "everyone makes mistakes"?

The person who said this is probably not a fool...

Zhao Jian curled his lips in agreement: "Forget about this emperor dog, he is so stupid."

Liang Zhu snorted coldly, and a comment was enough to see blood: "This is shameless at all!"

The smile on Wang Kuan's mouth disappeared completely. He stared at the emperor expressionlessly, and his heart was full of tyranny. When Yuan Zhongxin was killed, why didn't he say such words?Now, in order to keep his pawns, he can even lose his face!

Wang Kuan narrowed his eyes unkindly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became cruel. He seemed to realize: "It turns out that the Holy Majesty is too soft-hearted, and he still remembers the old relationship between the emperor and his ministers when he treats such gangsters--but the Holy Majesty, Yuan Zhong two years ago When Xin was slandered as an outsider of the Song Dynasty and died because of it, why didn't the Holy One be so magnanimous?"

The emperor's pupils shrank sharply, he gritted his teeth, and shouted angrily, "Wang Kuan!"

Wang Kuan seemed to have never heard of it. He lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the prisoner kneeling on the ground. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He slowly turned his eyes back to the emperor. His eyes were cold and gloomy, making the other party tremble with fear. , he said calmly: "Since the sage can't cut grass and root out ruthlessly, then I will serve you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Kuan suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, and slashed at the head of a certain prisoner without any hesitation!

In an instant, the sword light and blood shadow, the cold wind, and the overwhelming killing intent poured in!

Inside the palace gate, there was a dead silence.

A deathless head rolled to the ground, Wang Kuan stepped on it with one foot, the gushing blood splashed on the hem of Wang Kuan's clothes, and was engulfed by the blackness everywhere without a trace of bright red!

The emperor almost sat on the ground in shock, looking at Wang Kuan as if he was looking at a newborn demon from purgatory!

Today's Wang Kuan is the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, and the gods blocking and killing the gods. He has become as dark and deep as an abyss, and even blood can't touch it.

Wang Kuan's expression was so calm and indifferent that it was shocking. He seemed to be stepping on not a human head, but just a handful of mud and fly ash. He didn't even bother to look at it. Let's see what excuse the dog emperor has to protect these beasts!

Although the emperor had bargaining chips in his hands, all the chips combined could not match Wang Kuan who was possessed by a madman. What's more, there were many forces standing behind Wang Kuan. He couldn't influence Wang Kuan's decision at all. He could only choke out a sentence from his tight mouth: "Since the evidence is convincing, I don't have much to say, so I will be punished by beheading according to the laws of the Song Dynasty. How about Wang Kuan choosing a date for execution?"

Hearing this, the expressions of Zhao Jian and others became even more disgusted, and they all secretly scolded the dog emperor as a "coward".

Wang Kuan smiled lightly, and replied without emotion: "The Holy Majesty is wise." His gaze changed, and the tone of his words changed: "However, I still have one thing to ask the Holy Majesty to decide."

Seeing Wang Kuan with a false smile, the emperor trembled again, and he asked patiently, "What is it?"

Wang Kuan's eyes were cold and deep: "Since all those who colluded with Daxia's alien party have been arrested, I ask the Holy One to give Yuan Zhongxin a clean name and destroy the self-indictment written by him immediately."

The emperor's pupils trembled and his breathing became stagnant.

This is the ultimate purpose of Wang Kuan appearing here in person.

Yuan Zhongxin's self-indictment is still in the hands of the emperor. As long as the self-indictment is not destroyed for a day, Yuan Zhongxin's identity will be a traitor for a day-and Yuan Zhongxin's return is approaching, Wang Kuan No one is allowed to slander Yuan Zhongxin with this incident, not even the current emperor!

He wants Yuan Zhongxin to be aboveboard and go home clean and innocent!

This will be the second of Wang Kuan's many gifts to Yuan Zhongxin.
