Funing Hall

Those refugees, the guards interrogated them very quickly, and it was really not a good interrogation.

No matter how articulate, he hasn't eaten for many days, what can he say?Besides, they really have nothing to say, these refugees have been hungry for too long, seeing that Zhao Cong and his party are rich, and seeing them give food to the rest of the refugees.They were so hungry that they lost their minds and only thought about food.They dared to come up in order to grab some food. They waited to be beaten, killed, and captured. Knowing the opponent's methods, they were already starving, and at this time they were just waiting to die, without any resistance.

The guards used various methods, but they could not be sure that these were indeed ordinary refugees.

They reported to Zhao Cong again, and Zhao Cong sighed secretly again, lamenting his luck, such bad things could happen to him.But this is also good, it shows that his whereabouts have not been exposed——

Zhao Cong shook his head secretly, he couldn't say that.

If it wasn't exposed, why would a middle-aged eunuch pretend to be a refugee follow him and come to rescue him.Does this person have associates?Where are the accomplices?

If there is enough time, Zhao Cong will ask someone to "kill" the middle-aged man, so as to force his accomplice to show up.

The current time is really not enough, Zhao Cong had to make other arrangements.

There were wounded in the team, they temporarily stopped their journey, and wanted to wait for Rantao to wake up before moving on.

Rantao was not weak, but it was the first time he had suffered such an injury, so he woke up a bit late.But the eunuch pretending to be a refugee woke up first, someone came to report to Zhao Cong, and Zhao Cong went to see him.

When Mu Fu stepped forward, he had prepared for the worst, but if he watched His Majesty get injured, Lang Jun might kill him.It's a trivial matter for him to die, he doesn't want to disappoint Lang Jun.His loyalty is written in his blood.

He not only made the worst plan, but also figured out how to deal with it.

But no matter how calm he was, Zhao Cong entered the carriage where he was lying, looked him up and down first, and then asked very normally: "Whose eunuch are you?"

After all, Mu Fu thought of Zhao Cong in a simpler way.

He thought about everything, but he didn't expect Zhao Cong to find out so quickly, nor did he expect Zhao Cong to ask so directly.

There was some confusion in his mind.

Zhao Cong smiled: "I know you are sober, you know kung fu, your body is very good, and you can talk. You are just trying to lie to me."

Mu Fu's heart skipped a beat again.

"You said."

Mu Fu secretly swallowed his saliva, and said, "The villain came from Korea."

Zhao Cong said "Oh" and nodded: "So it's from Korea."

Mu Fu became more cautious.

Zhao Cong fell silent for a long time, then he smiled: "Guess, do I think you are lying to me?"

"The little guy doesn't know."

"Indeed, people's hearts are unpredictable, who can guess it." Zhao Cong muttered to himself.

Mu Fu was sweating all over, guarding against Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong got up, left a sentence of "rest slowly", turned around and got off the carriage.

Mu Fu had thought out all the excuses in his mind, such as why he came from Korea, why he pretended to be a refugee, and even who his master was, he had thought about everything, but His Majesty didn't even ask!

Mu Fu frowned tightly, their lords face such a shrewd Majesty day and night, and they really haven't been discovered? !

After Rantao woke up, they continued to rush to Taiyuan Mansion.

Zhao Cong forbade anyone to send the news back to Kaifeng Mansion, but it is not known whether the eunuch and his accomplices will send it back to Kaifeng Mansion.

But he will enter Taiyuan Mansion tomorrow, and will take back Jiang Wei's military power as quickly as possible, if he has evil intentions, it will be too late.

Zhao Cong didn't care.

Or it was another kind of tacit understanding. In Tokyo, Zhao Shiqi, who had been idle for several days, became busy again.

Du Cheng knew that Yi Yu was the master's envoy, and he finally knew who killed his uncle.He often felt that when he attended Du Yu in court, he was really deceived by lard and wanted to make up for his uncle's family. When he found out that Yi Yu was the person behind it, how could he bear it?

He has always been a master without a lot of brains, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled by Zheng Qiao back then.

Before the actual Ruiqing Festival, Zhao Shiqi's people released the news to him.It's just that he has gone through so many things, and he has to improve, knowing that he can drag Yi Yu down with evidence.In the past few days, he collected evidence everywhere, revisited the Huainan Salt Field, Zheng Qiao, and his uncle, went to Zheng Qiao's family, left a lot of oral and written evidence, and then boldly went to the city sue.

Qian Shang and Huang Shu handled most of the court affairs on behalf of His Majesty, there was no time to see him, and he was not qualified to see him, he had long since lost his official position and fame, and was just an ordinary citizen.As for the ordinary people, His Majesty gave it to him for the sake of his uncle, otherwise he would have been exiled already.

He couldn't see the two husbands, so he went to Kaifeng mansion to ask to see the magistrate. He felt that his matter was definitely a big deal.But the magistrate heard that it was Du Cheng, and knew that he had a lot of troubles. His majesty was ill, and the magistrate didn't want to cause trouble, so he hesitated, and sent someone to ask him what the matter was.

For such an important matter, Du Cheng had to keep it a secret, and he could not tell others at will, he had to meet the prefect in person before he could tell.The magistrate even felt that he was pretending to be mysterious, and felt that it was nothing serious, so he didn't see him with an excuse, and wanted to procrastinate.

Du Cheng asked everywhere to see him, but no one saw him!

He didn't have the guts to go to Du's mansion to ask his former family members, and after Du Yu went to Taiyuan to take up his post, he had brought all his family members to Taiyuan, and the mansion was empty, only servants.

This matter is urgent, he has already delayed it for several days, and he can't delay it any longer.

In his haste, he came up with a plan, and he went directly to the Dengwen Drum Academy in front of Xuande Building to beat the drums!

There is a regulation in the Song Dynasty, Dengwen Drum, regardless of status and age, as long as it is a citizen of the Song Dynasty, it can be played.Once the drum was beaten, the officials of the Dengwen Drum Academy had to accept it immediately, and they could even ask His Majesty to handle it personally, but it took thirty beats to finish the drum.

Du Cheng couldn't wait any longer, even if he was going to be beaten thirty times, he still had to do it.

When he knocked like this, everyone woke up.

It has been many years since no one has played the Dengwen drum. After all, no one likes to be beaten with a board, and the beating is very severe.Seeing someone coming to beat the drums, the people in the city, who have never been slow in joining in the fun, immediately rushed to watch.The officials of Dengwen Drum Academy did accept the matter immediately, first of all they beat Du Cheng [-] times.

Du Cheng is also a scholar, but he just planted the fields for a while, and he can still talk after playing [-] boards.

Seeing that he was still able to speak, the officials in the court asked him what was the matter, and he hurriedly said, "I want to see Your Majesty!"

He didn't know, but the officials knew. His Majesty was ill, so he immediately dismissed it.

Although Du Cheng could still speak, his head was a little dizzy after all, and he didn't say anything else, he only said that he wanted to see His Majesty.

This matter is difficult to handle. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, as long as Dengwen drums are beaten and boarded, no matter what the person's request is, even if he wants to meet His Majesty, he must be satisfied.

At the time of the late emperor, a childless old man lost a cow and made a fuss in front of the Xuande building, where he beat the drums and got boarded.

The first emperor also saw it, and felt that the old man was not easy, so he not only comforted him, gave him medicine and food, but also sent forbidden soldiers to find cattle for him.The cow was finally found, but was killed and eaten by a rascal in the same village. The first emperor ordered the rascal to be exiled, and gave the old man ten cows, and asked someone to take care of him until his death.

After the old man's death, the first emperor expressed his feelings, wrote a few words for him, and asked people to take good care of the ten cows.

This incident caused everyone to praise the late emperor for his love for the people and his kindness.

Not to mention the time of Taizu, it can be said that the influence of the previous two emperors was very good.The official couldn't refute Du Cheng's request to see His Majesty.

There were so many people watching outside, the officials scolded Du Cheng in his heart that the timing of his appearance was not good, so he could only dust off the non-existent ashes on his clothes and report in the palace.

Zhao Shiqi didn't expect Du Cheng to have such courage and courage.Originally, seeing that Du Cheng had been silent, he thought Du Cheng was timid and was planning to use other methods. Anyway, Zhao Cong was not in Kaifeng, so he was not in a hurry to provoke Du Cheng again in a few days.

No matter the plan can never keep up with the changes.

Du Cheng came here just like that.

If you don't see it, you can see it. This is the law of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Shiqi asked the officials to carry Du Cheng to the Funing Hall on the grounds that His Majesty was ill, and saw him through the window and curtain.

The officials of the Dengwen Drum Academy wiped off their sweat, and saw that the Eleven Lord, who had only heard his name but never seen him, did not blame him. He was deeply relieved, and when he left the palace, he asked someone to carry Du Cheng into Funing temple.

Du Cheng was so beaten that he couldn't sit up or stand up, and could only lie on the ground.Cha Xi also specially placed a cushion for him on the ground so that he could lie down more comfortably.Du Cheng was moved in his heart, and felt that he should repay His Majesty well.Insisting on kneeling, he kowtowed in the direction where His Majesty was lying.

Zhao Shiqi said in a voice: "Get up, Your Majesty is still ill, it's not easy to see you. But Your Majesty is inside, you don't hesitate to hit the board and beat the drum, there must be something important. Tell me, tell me, His Majesty can listen."

Du Cheng nodded, carefully took out from his bosom the things he had collected so hard in the past few days, and raised his hands above his head: "Caomin Du Cheng has something important to report to His Majesty, please send it to His Majesty Eleven Lord."

"You wait." Zhao Shiqi took it, and pretended to turn around and enter the inner room.

The officials of Dengwen Drum Academy accompanied him. Seeing that Mr. Eleven was so cautious, he wiped his sweat secretly again. Fortunately, he went to the palace to report.Seeing that His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter!If he doesn't report, I don't know what will happen.

Du Cheng looked expectantly in the direction of His Majesty.

Zhao Shiqi approached the inner room and unfolded the things presented by Du Cheng, but he was a little impressed. Du Cheng spent a lot of effort to sort them out very comprehensively.

He stayed inside for a while, then came out and said, "Your Majesty has seen it all."

Du Cheng was expecting more.

But Zhao Shiqi was also pondering in his heart, not knowing how to deal with this matter.If you want him to say, you can quickly order Yi Yu to be executed, but Yi Yu is still locked in the prison in Kaifeng Mansion, and no one is allowed to see him with His Majesty's order.

After thinking about it like this, Du Cheng became a little anxious when he didn't speak. He had already arrived before His Majesty, and he had nothing to hide, so he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Eleven, how dare you ask Your Majesty what to say? Yi Yu is really evil! He Not only did he kill his own servant, he took away the fruits of other people’s hard work, and provoked officials in the court. He also gave gifts to many officials! Du Yu, Du Xianggong, and Lin Bai, the former Huainan East Road transfer envoy, were all framed by this person! He and Zheng Qiao Let's join forces and frame a good official who is truly dedicated to serving the people!"

The accompanying officials were stunned when they heard this, because those things were also related to Yi Yu!

Cha Xi and the others couldn't help being stunned. The incident in Yancheng, Huainan was very troublesome earlier, His Majesty even went to Huainan personally for this matter, and how many officials were lost when he came back?Even Du Xianggong broke it, but now he said that these things were all done by Yi Yu? !

Zhao Shiqi yelled out without hesitation.

Du Cheng excitedly said: "Your Majesty! These are all evidences! Caomin implores Your Majesty to punish Yi Yu severely! Only by severely punishing this person can we be worthy of all those who were framed and killed by him, and also be worthy of the laws of the Song Dynasty! "He blushed, his neck was thick, and he even struggled to kowtow again.

Fu Lu hurried up, grabbed him, and persuaded him a few words, but he couldn't persuade him.

Zhao Shiqi sighed secretly, and said: "Your Majesty must strictly control this matter, but His Majesty is ill and can't be in a hurry."

"Yes yes yes!" Du Cheng nodded, "Your Majesty's body is important! But please imprison Yi Yu's family first!"

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, the officials of Dengwen Drum Academy scolded: "Nonsense! Your Majesty, how can you say such things?"

After hearing this, Du Cheng's eyes turned red, and he said in a painful voice: "Cao Min couldn't stand the temptation at the beginning, and was used by Zheng Qiao to harm his uncle. Cao Min felt guilty for this, and wished to pay back with death. The reason why he has lived so shyly is that I want to try my best to return Caomin's uncle innocent! Caomin firmly believes in His Majesty! I firmly believe that His Majesty will give Caomin an account!"

The official thought, stop talking!Strangely, Zheng Qiao beckoned, and you ran away with him. With such a stupid temper and such blunt words, isn't he being sold for a few dollars?

Du Cheng almost cried bitterly in the Palace of Funing, but at least he reported the matter.

Zhao Shiqi also conveyed "Your Majesty's words" and would give a solution as soon as possible. Although His Majesty was ill and could not be dealt with immediately, Zhao Shiqi had already followed His Majesty's instructions and sent someone to take care of Yi's house and arrested Yi Yu His personal servants, maids and housekeepers went to ask questions.Lin Changxin and others were also locked at home and were not allowed to go out.

Seeing this, Du Cheng felt relieved and was willing to leave the palace. Before leaving the palace, he kept kowtowing to wish His Majesty a quick recovery.

The official was very annoyed, afraid of being dragged down by him, he hurriedly dragged him away.

Du Cheng's knocking on the Dengwen Drum was already eye-catching, but when he knocked on the front, the imperial guards came out to arrest people from the Yi family, and sealed off the house and the houses of relatives related to the Yi family.No need to ask, they also know that the number one scholar committed another crime!

Such things should always be told to Yu Min, after the officials and Du Cheng left the palace, people would know what happened after a while.

Now there is only more excitement.

Not only the people were angry, but countless officials in the court, even though they wanted to avoid causing trouble as much as possible because of His Majesty's poor health, they couldn't control it, and finally came to the palace to ask for an audience.

Your Majesty can't see you, Eleven Lord will see you on your Majesty's behalf.

Sitting in the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Shiqi met one group after another of officials, as if he had returned to his previous life in a trance, and he had seen officials here before.Sitting in the same seat, listening to the same outrageous words.

Even Huang Shu and Qian Shang also came, and they sincerely suggested: "Please tell Your Majesty, Mr. Eleventh Lang, that His Majesty is not feeling well, and it is not convenient for you to interrogate yourself. You must appoint Mr. Eleventh Lang to intervene in this matter in person. Yi Yu couldn't help it." A small magistrate can make waves in the court. It is because the ministers have failed in their duties, and the ministers feel very guilty. But no matter how guilty they are, this matter must be dealt with quickly. I wonder if he has any accomplices? Besides, the court is like this, how can it be called Do the people trust us?"

Zhao Shiqi also knew this truth.

The key is that Zhao Cong is not there.

He said a few words that he would quickly pass on to His Majesty, dismissed them, and was about to ask Fu Lu to call Shao Yi.

But Shao Yi came.

Zhao Shiqi sighed, looked at him, and said, "What should I do?"

"I only listen to your majesty, and your majesty said that no one is allowed to see Yi Yu except him."

Zhao Shiqi sighed again.

The biggest problem is not Zhao Cong's absence.

But Yi Yu couldn't see him at all!
