I run a newspaper in ancient times

With such a big commotion, the neighbors in the neighborhood sent people out to look around, but they didn't dare to get too close, they just watched from afar.

In addition to not being afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of danger, the gossip tabloid reporter who was afraid of missing key information and unable to write accurate content, instead followed the forbidden army into Liang's house and watched the scene excitedly.

Holding a torch in one hand and a weapon in the other, the imperial guards surrounded several panic-stricken thieves, and archers lined up on the wall, pointing their cold arrows straight at them, waiting for the sound of the thieves. Under the order, the few people below can instantly become a hornet's nest.

There is no need to say anything about this dark group, the number and momentum alone can make these thieves mentally collapse.

Even if there are hostages in hand at this moment, the dagger can't be held and the hands are trembling. Everyone's face is pale with fright. They really don't understand that they are just thieves, why they have to send out such a big force to deal with them!

Even Liang Yanyun, who was a hostage, didn't dare to shout for help here and now.

Seeing the hostage being taken hostage, Fan Zhiyuan immediately raised his eyebrows, and he glanced at Fu Yin, who quickly showed the surprise on his face, turned his head to look at Liang Fang, pointed at Liang Yanyun and said in shock: "This... If the officer is not mistaken, Mr. Liang, isn't this... Your Young Master?"

There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

This saves the effort of searching and arresting.

Liang Fang is nodding at the moment, and he is no nodding, he hesitated, and finally shook his head: "No, no, my lord, I misunderstood, he is, he is the little far away..."

At this moment, Fan Zhiyuan suddenly raised his hand, and the archer immediately stretched the bowstring to the full, as if he wanted to shoot and kill the thief regardless of the hostage.

Liang Yanyun was so frightened that his face was like gold paper, he screamed, "Help! Father! Mother! Grandmother—"

He yelled indiscriminately, which made Liang Fangna's next fabricated words extremely ridiculous, and his face was no different from that of his own son.

Mrs. Liang rushed over, knelt on the ground, and cried, "General Fan, please, don't shoot arrows, don't hurt Yan Yun!"

The old grandmother was also on the verge of collapse, wishing she could replace her with her own body.

Liang Yanyun's identity has been determined, and nights are full of dreams. Fan Zhiyuan turned his head and raised his chin. Xiaofei took a step forward and shouted: "Put down your weapons, let go of the hostages, and capture them without a fight. Punish them with the laws of the country. You still have life, otherwise you will be killed!"

With a bang, the dagger fell to the ground, and the thieves knelt down and raised their hands in a gesture of surrender.

If they were just ordinary officials, they would still dare to fight, but under the army, how dare they have the guts, at least they can still eat in prison, and if they resist stubbornly, they will have to meet the king of Hades on the spot.

They didn't think that at this moment, a mere life of Liang Yanyun would make this murderous general a threat.

Just killed them all, and no one reasoned with him!

Several thieves were all caught in the net in desperation, and were chained away by officials.

Seeing that her son was fine, Mrs. Liang was about to go over to ask about his health, but was suddenly stopped by the forbidden army and refused to let him go.

"General Fan, what are you doing?" Liang Fang swallowed, raised his hand and arched his hand, pretending not to know, and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you General for your help, my son was able to be rescued smoothly, it's a little late today Well, tomorrow, I will definitely thank the general and all the officials, and I hope I won’t refuse by then.”

As he spoke, he looked at the governor, with a request on his face, hoping that the governor, who has always been aloof, could help him to talk. As long as he can send these imperial guards away tonight, he will immediately stuff his son into it. The carriage was sent out of the city.

But obviously, the more he is afraid of something, the more things will come.

A laugh came from the roof.

"Master Liang, I'm afraid you can't let him go."

Sitting on the roof were two bunt boys who were writing and writing. They both looked ordinary, but one of them was holding a small wooden sign in his hand, but it was very familiar. He was a reporter from a gossip tabloid.

As soon as Liang Fang saw these two people, he was shocked and thought that he had finished speaking.

The reporter said with a smirk: "General Fan may not know that he is far away in the frontier, but Mr. Fu Yin should be very clear that Liang Yanyun was the murderer who was questioned by Qiu Hou as the murderer of the Qiuwei poisoning case that caused a sensation in the capital three years ago." Cut it off, hey, this is strange, why did the dead man come back home all of a sudden?"

Unlike the frontier army, the Forbidden Army mostly lived in the capital. Three years may be a long time, but if you think about it carefully, you can still remember it.

As a result, strange eyes couldn't help but go to Liang Yanyun one after another.

Liang Yanyun's eyes flickered, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, Mrs. Liang pushed away the guards nearby, ran over and pulled her son back behind her: "You, you are mistaken, he is not Yanyun, Yes, I gave birth to another son, raised him in my hometown, and I don’t see people often, Yan Yun is dead, he’s dead! Don’t even try to kill my other son!”

"That's right, that's right, they are twins, they are twins!" Mrs. Liang also quibbled.

"General Fan..." Liang Fang moved his lips, "I still hope to be kind, Liang Yanyun is really dead, the Liang family, the servant of the official department will remember the general's kindness!"

He knelt down, tears came out of his eyes, and he knocked his head loudly.

Fu Yin watched, couldn't help sighing, and shook his head: "Master Liang, don't struggle, you've already pierced the sky." He pointed to the gossip reporter who was squatting on the roof and writing quickly.

Even if Fan Zhiyuan opened the net, this gossip tabloid would let everyone in the capital know about it, and then everyone would question it.

Three years ago, Liang Yanyun was sentenced to death. The head of the death row prisoner fell to the ground.

But three years later, Liang Yanyun returned to the capital alive and well, so who was executed at that time?

It's a felony to replace a condemned prisoner!

What Fu Yin said about piercing the sky is really not an alarmist statement. Once the investigation is carried out, a long list will be drawn out, and even Liang Fang's cousin who is the servant of the official department will have to play along with him.

Fan Zhiyuan came here for Liang Yanyun, since he found someone, he stopped talking nonsense and said, "Take him away."

"Wait... wait, General Fan, General..." Liang Fang could not care about his son at this moment, and rushed to meet him, but was forced back by the snow-white knife point of Fan Zhiyuan's personal soldiers.

He stammered: "This, this has to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, General Fan, you can't take the child away..."

Hearing this, Fan Zhiyuan finally smiled a little on his expressionless face, and said sarcastically, "Ministry of Punishment? By the way, the case was settled in the Ministry of Punishment, right?"

He turned his head to ask Fu Yin, who nodded silently.

"Very good, then brothers, don't rush back to do business, just take another trip and arrest everyone in the Ministry of Punishment, including that Xiongling Xiongshangshu."

"Yes, General."

Liang Fang was listening, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

While Fu Yin was listening, he couldn't help being speechless.

This general was really resolute, the thief caught Liang Yanyun, and immediately put the official of the criminal department behind him into prison. In just one night, others had no time to react, even the one who was always paying attention to Prince Yi The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is still there, waiting for Li Li to be deflated.

At the same time, he was worried about himself. From tonight onwards, he would have no way back.

Prince Yi's ship has set sail and cannot get off.

Dali Temple Minister is after the founding father, and now the hereditary Song Guogong, whose mother is the eldest princess of the former emperor, is a proper honor, no matter whether it is the emperor or the left minister, there is no special tendency.

It was different from Li Li's good fortune back then, this person was old-fashioned, not very humane, and not easy to win over, like the smelly and hard stones in the latrine, but due to his status, it was not easy to move away.

Therefore, any important and manageable cases will be directly transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice if the left minister says a word, and those left to Dali Temple are all old cases.

In the meaning of Zuo Xiang, that position is reserved for Song Guogong's pension.

Unexpectedly, this time the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were sacked collectively, but it was the elderly Dali Temple who presided over the case.

For a moment, both the Zuoxiang faction and Wu Ninghou's faction were all dumbfounded.

That night, without taking a break, Yuan Meiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took his servant Liang Duan to Zuo Xiangfu, accompanied by Minister of the Household Department, Zhen Weimin, although these were not his business, his panic was not less than that of Yuan Meiqing.

But at this moment, the sky was getting gloomy, and Zuo Xiang was already sitting upright waiting for them.

In his hand is a cup of tea that has been cooled, it can be seen that he has been sitting like this for a long time.

"Master Xiang, why is this happening?" Yuan Meiqing's mouth tightened, and all her conceit disappeared overnight.

Once the punishment department is over, what should he do when the people from Yunzhou arrive in Beijing?

Under the dim light, Zuo Xiang's expression was vague, he was silent and did not speak.

At this time, the confidant hurried in and said: "Master Xiang, all the official residences of the Ministry of Punishment have been sealed up by the Imperial Army."

"What about Xiong Shangshu?" Yuan Meiqing asked.

"Xiong Mansion is the same, Xiong Shangshu has been forced to Dali Temple." The visitor answered with difficulty.

Zhen Weimin thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Why should the imperial army arrest people? Now they have only found Liang Yanyun, and they have not yet passed the trial, so there is no way to convict him. Fan Zhiyuan used the imperial army to arrest the court officials without authorization. You can sue him for using power for personal gain..."

A sigh came out of Prime Minister Zuo's mouth, and he raised his head and said, "If there is an imperial decree, you can arrest him."

It's been too long since I didn't take the emperor seriously, but I forgot that the biggest thing in the Great Yan Kingdom is today's emperor.

No matter how cowardly Emperor Yan was, how could he not seize such a good opportunity?

The emperor, who is in power, can arrest people for no reason. Although Emperor Yan has some restrictions, but now the evidence is in his hands, why not?

Zhen Weimin paced back and forth, looking at Liang Duan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and said angrily: "What is going on with Liang Yanyun, why is he in the capital! Isn't he already sent away? Why are you coming back to catch someone on purpose?"

As Liang Fang's cousin, Liang Duan naturally had his hand in this matter. He knelt down and couldn't express his suffering.

"I just found out that this little bastard was living in a difficult life in the country, and he couldn't stay. The family members were soft-hearted, so they secretly brought him back to Beijing. Mr. Xiang, my lord, I am ashamed of this official, and I will never hesitate to die." , if he had known this earlier, he should have died on the guillotine, rather than dragging Mr. Xiong down!"

He kowtowed his head, regretting it endlessly.In fact, not to mention Xiong Ling, even he couldn't escape. He also participated in the exchange of death row prisoners.

"What's the use of regretting now, why did you just..." Zhen Weimin wanted to scold again, but heard Yuan Meiqing support his forehead and say, "It's meaningless to talk about these things now, what should we do next? Prime Minister Zuo, do you have a good idea? "

Prime Minister Zuo sat for so long, closed his eyes and rested his mind, but he was frantically thinking of various ways, but the incident happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard.

"Careless, or careless."

The reason why the imperial army went to such a great extent to catch the thief, in fact, neither Prime Minister Zuo nor Yuan Meiqing believed it. They were vigilant, but they always thought that Li Li would find a way to deal with Yuan Meiqing, but they didn't know that before that, he was going to be the first target It is Xiong Ling, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

Yunzhou is nothing but a smog that confuses the ears.

Zuo Xiang was suddenly surprised. He couldn't believe that the news from the gossip tabloids was so well-informed. A little murderer who was ignored three years ago could also pay attention to it, and it was silent, like a poisonous snake dormant, waiting for the good news. Timing is a hit.

A mere Liang Yanyun became the key to their losses.

If that's the case... Zuo Xiang moved his fingers, his heart beat a little faster, and he didn't dare to think about it any more.

The matter in front of him still matters, Prime Minister Zuo finally got up and said: "The old man should go to Duke Song's mansion in person."

"Do you want to go together, the lower officials?" The two ministers followed suit.

Prime Minister Zuo shook his head: "No, this old man's old face always has a few thin sides, and before the gossip tabloids are published, we can always play around a bit."

Song Guogong's mansion is not too far away, but Zuo Xiang's carriage just turned a corner, but suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Zuo Xiang felt troubled, and opened the curtain to look outside.

The old servant replied: "Master Xiang, it's the carriage of the Marquis of Jinxi who blocked the way."

Marquis of Jinxi?

Zuo Xiang suddenly remembered, his complexion suddenly became gloomy, he closed his eyes, his heart was gloomy and solemn, thinking that today Song Guogong might not be able to see this side.

"Left Prime Minister." There was a call from outside the carriage, but it was Marquis Jin Xi who got out of the carriage and came over.

Zuo Xiang didn't want to see him any more, so he could only open the curtain and greet the Marquis of Jinxi.

Not far away is the gate of Song Guogong's mansion, but Jin Xihou smiled and said: "This Marquis guessed that someone would come to Song Guogong, so he came here to block it. I didn't expect Zuoxiang to come in person. It's really surprising, but carefully Thinking about it, it’s not surprising.”

Jin Xihou is an old man with all white hair, but he is actually much younger than Prime Minister Zuo. Although he has a smile on his face, his eyes are cold and hazy, staring at Prime Minister Zuo firmly.

"Hou Ye's news is really well-informed, and it came in a timely manner. It can be seen that Prince Yi's situation is really bad, and everyone is involved in it. It's really scheming, and I admire you." Zuo Xiang said lightly, but his words Sarcasm implied.

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Jinxi raised his hand and arched in the direction of Prince Yi's mansion, saying word by word: "But this Marquis is very grateful to the lord, otherwise, how would I know that the murderer of my son is still at large!"

When he said this, he gritted his teeth and spit it out with a strong resentment.

The left minister said: "Master Hou, I feel guilty."

"Don't feel guilty, the hearts of you people are dark! You only have power in your eyes, so there is no justice! Pity my son died in vain, and I can't avenge my revenge..."

Jin Xihou's eyes were red and tears were shining in his eyes. His temples were all white because of the pain of losing his son.

That was the pride of his life, but he died in vain in the jealousy of others, and died young, why didn't he hate it!He thought that the murderer had been punished, but he found that Duo Gou had been alive for three years. If he hadn't been discovered this time, he would never have known that his son died with regret!

Suddenly he changed his tone, raised his chin and said coldly: "Fortunately, God has eyes. This time, even if the old man is desperate, he will let the Ministry of punishment go to hell. Those who dare to change the death row will go to hell, so as to comfort me. My son's spirit in heaven!"

At night, when Li Li sent someone to tell him this, he almost gritted his teeth and didn't do anything. There was only one belief and hatred in his mind, and he must let these people die!

Compared with Liang Yanyun, he hates the officials of the Ministry of Punishment even more!

He looked at Prime Minister Zuo with a sneer and said, "From today on, my eyes will be fixed on this case without sleep, even if the murderer and the accomplices all fall to the ground, I will count the heads carefully one by one and see Clear every face, this time, don't worry, no one will be dropped again!"

Jin Xihou just stood in the middle of the road. Now that the sky was bright, the people coming and going around were all looking at them.

The person who lost his beloved son couldn't do anything, Prime Minister Zuo nodded lightly when he heard this, and then returned to the carriage, "Go back."

The carriage turned around and returned from the same road.

Only Jin Xihou was left watching deeply: "Rufei, my son, you watch carefully from the sky, father will avenge you, avenge you!"
