Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Luoyang, Ziwei Palace and Shangshufang.

Asshole!

Emperor Xiping was angry and slapped the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the imperial desk so hard that he jumped on the spot: The dog thief bullied me too much!

The two people, Shen Fa and Wei Heng, who were being held hostage by His Highness, immediately lowered their heads, looking at their noses and hearts, not daring to say a word.

Emperor Xiping vented his anger and picked up the letter in front of him again. The familiar handwriting of his daughter gave the simple word pay back the money a bit of joking threat, as if he was saying Said: 'If you don't pay back the money, I will break up the ticket! ’

The more he watched, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped the imperial case with an incompetent and furious voice, making a bang bang sound: You are a genius, I will kill you!

Their two highnesses: 'Haha...'

After sulking alone for a long time, Emperor Xiping couldn't help but ask: What does this stubborn donkey mean? He can't just blame me for missing his money? Is there any royal law? ?”

He looked at the two highnesses with eager eyes.

Sensing his gaze, Wei Heng turned his head to look at Shen Fa in excitement: 'Hey, I'm asking you! ’

Shen Fa stared blankly at the ground, counting the floor tiles one by one: 'You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me...'

Bang!

Emperor Xiping blew his beard and slapped the table with eyes wide open: Are you all mute? Speak!

Wei Heng glanced at Shen Fa again and saw that he was still tense and speechless, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and clasped his hands and said: Return...report to Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, and I haven't received any useful information yet.

big eater!

Emperor Xiping grabbed a memorial and threw it into Wei Heng's arms: All of you in the West Factory are losers!

Wei Heng caught the memorial in a panic, clasped his hands in fear and said, I acknowledge my guilt!

He yelled for confession with his mouth, but he murmured confidently in his heart: 'Yes, our West Factory is a loser, so you should let the East Factory work! ’

After Huang Jin's death, the position of director of the Dongchang Factory is still vacant. The Dongjishi Factory, which once made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty frightened and feared like a tiger, has now become a laughing stock...

Emperor Xiping also knew that it was unreasonable to let Xichang vent his anger, so he had to turn to Shen Fa, his eyes gradually slowed down, and he said warmly: Zhonghe, you have a close friendship with Yang Erlang. In your opinion, what does he mean by this?

Shen Fa raised his head with a confused look on his face. After looking at the two of them, his eyes quickly turned firm. He clasped his hands and said loudly and loudly: Your Majesty, I, Chen Fa, please order me to do my best as an embroiderer. Fight to the death with that thief until the end!

Emperor Xiping:? ? ?

Wei Heng:? ? ?

After a long silence, Wei Heng took the lead and said, Master Shen, please be patient. The matter is not clear yet, so there is no need to rush into a decisive battle with the evil thief. Let's discuss the matter first!

The implication is: ‘That’s enough for you! Didn't he just get a beating? Did he deserve to be punished with such a life-and-death sentence? ’

With the steps in hand, Emperor Xiping also took advantage of the situation and climbed down the slope. He pretended to be reluctant and said: What Qing Wei said is absolutely right. Although Yang Erlang is a bit barbaric, he is still reasonable. Since he can write this letter, , it will definitely not be aimless. We, the emperor and our ministers, should discuss the matter first. If it is absolutely necessary, Zhonghe, it will not be too late for you to go and fight him to the death.

The implication is: ‘I have no intention of dying together with that guy. If you want to die, don’t involve me! ’

Shen Fa seemed not to understand, and replied loudly: Your Majesty, that evil thief has repeatedly flouted the laws of the court and beaten the court officials many times. Instead of accepting humiliation and waiting for death, it is better to make a decisive decision and cut off the mess with a quick knife... I will ask you to fight again. , riding alone to Luting County to challenge the evil thief to death!

The implication is: ‘If you try to trick me again, I will send you away! ’

Wei Heng raised his head and counted the tiles on the ceiling.

Emperor Xiping picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea...

After a while, Emperor Xiping put down his tea bowl and sighed: Wei Qing, your friendship with Yang Erlang is not shallow at all. Why don't you tell me.

Wei Heng's scalp was numb and he was about to refuse, but he met Emperor Xiping's unkind eyes: 'You want to give up a pick and give it a try? Do you think you are a bag of sand? ’

He had no choice but to swallow back the words of rejection in his throat. After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth with sweat on his forehead and said: Return to Your Majesty, based on my understanding of Yang Erlang, this statement... is mostly a reminder!

oh?

The evil intention in Emperor Xiping's eyes relaxed and he asked: What kind of reminder?

Wei Heng glanced helplessly at the hob, and said with abandon: This servant is just guessing... The incident happened so suddenly, Yang Erlang should not be able to figure out who succeeded it, but that guy has always... prepared for a rainy day, I'm sure It includes those who have the ability and the courage to do this, and this naturally includes all the adults in the court.

After a pause, he then added: But since he would write this letter to Your Majesty, he must have completely believed in Your Majesty and was sure that Your Majesty would never do such a deed, so he wrote to remind Your Majesty to investigate the nobles in the court. In order to prevent him from finding an adult and causing unnecessary misunderstandings...

Shen Fadu turned his head in surprise and glanced at Wei Heng who was talking eloquently. He secretly thought to himself that this damn eunuch has actually grown a brain? It seems that if I want to pass the blame to this damn eunuch in the future, I have to be more concealed.

The letter was sent to the capital through his embroidery guard's information channel. Of course he knew more than Xichang...

Including Yang Ge's words towards Louwailou at Yuelai Inn.

As well as the causes and consequences of Hu Qiang, the commander-in-chief of Shangyou Institute, going to look for Yang Ge...

He knows it all!

It was precisely because he knew it that he refused to step into this muddy water.

The underhanded moves of the Beizhen Prefecture Secretary against the Shangyou Suo were not ordered by him, and the new Beizhen Prefecture Secretary Song Jing did not share the same mind with him as the commander!

In short, Song Jing was using him, Shen Fa, as a scapegoat, secretly weakening his official influence...

And Song Jing, the new governor, was promoted by the emperor.

In other words, even if Song Jing's series of measures against Shangyousuo were not ordered by the emperor, they must have received his tacit approval!

They all think it's amazing that that guy comes to Beijing again and beats me up, Shen Fa, right?

It’s too disrespectful to treat me as a human being!

After Emperor Xiping heard what Wei Heng said, he didn't even notice that he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only did the two His Highnesses notice his sudden relief, but they also discovered that there was even a trace of joy in his relief...

The two of them thought about it secretly and immediately reacted: 'Oh, are you happy that Yang Erlang gave you face? ’

Then check it out.

Emperor Xiping gently patted the armrest of the dragon chair and closed the coffin to make a conclusion: Let's see if anyone in the court is motivated by wealth and traps me in injustice!

Shen Fa, who had his head hanging down, heard the words and slandered with a low heart: 'Are you also afraid of being blamed? ’

Emperor Xiping's eyes wandered between the two His Highnesses for a long time, and finally settled on Wei Heng: This matter will be supervised by the Xiji Office. Zhong and your embroidery guards will assist you. If you find anything, report it immediately. To me!

Their two highnesses clasped their hands together and said: I (servant) obey your order.

…

Jinling, Bauhinia Mountain, Louwailou.

The Taoist monk, wearing a brocade robe with hibiscus purple and gold patterns and gray beard and hair, sits in the middle, with the Yin and Yang protectors and the Five Elements on both sides.

The floating ambergris was like a rain cloud, covering the eight people wearing black iron masks. The atmosphere was so gloomy that it seemed like water could be squeezed out...

I don't know how long the silence lasted, but someone finally said in a deep voice: This case must not be opened, and this trend must not last!

Fire makes you mighty!

Someone said in a non-yinful way: How about Yang Erlang let the fire envoy handle the matter?

The fire envoy slapped the armrest of the seat and said angrily: I am a public-spirited person. If you have any different opinions, just tell me. Why are you trying to attack me with guns and sticks?

The man chuckled and said, Whether you are public-minded or not, God knows and the earth knows that you know and I don't!

The fire envoy held the armrest, veins bursting out on the back of his hand: What do you mean by Protector Zuo's words?

The man replied unhurriedly: It's not that there is anything special. It's just that some people have secretly communicated with Zhao Wei Xungui and are neither meat nor vegetarian. Now they are inciting us to have a fight with Yang Erlang... I naturally have to I remind you not to be used as a weapon.

The fire envoy was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, That's not what Protector Zuo said when he promoted the update of the list.

The man replied quietly: This time, that time.

The fire envoy sneered: What a 'this time, that time', Protector Zuo is really a gentleman!

The two of them shut their mouths and said no more.

There was another long silence in the hall.

After a long while, someone finally spoke again: If Yang Erlang is determined to fight with us until death, some tricks may not be able to stop him.

Second opinion, Japan and his entourage are enough to prove this person's skill and character in dealing with the enemy. We may not be afraid of Zhao Wei, but we may not be afraid of Yang Erlang.

Of course what the fire envoy said is indeed reasonable. Once this example is established, wouldn't anyone be able to frame us and threaten us in the future?

Yang Erlang is a special case. If Wei Gou takes advantage of him, wouldn't Yang Erlang be equally helpless and have no choice but to let it go?

I also agree with the theory of fire envoys. This situation must not be opened, and this wind must not last. The Theory of Six Kingdoms says: 'Today we will cut five cities, tomorrow we will cut ten cities, and then we will have a good night's sleep. Look around. The Qin army has arrived again. Today Yang Erlang threatens us, so we will make an exception for Yang Erlang. The next day Quanzhen Shaolin threatens us, and we will make an exception for Quanzhen Shaolin... In the long run, we and that person will make an exception. What's the difference between a prostitute and a prostitute who can do anything she can?

Let's talk about the matter. Yang Erlang's case is rare in a hundred years. How can it continue like this? In the past two hundred years, Quanzhen Shaolin and Honghua White Lotus have never threatened us. Do they not want to?

How does the Golden Envoy know that Quanzhen Shaolin and Honghua White Lotus don't want to threaten us? It's just that no one wants to be the first to make wedding clothes for others. Once this example is started, who can guarantee that they will not follow Yang Erlang? By then? How should we deal with ourselves? If there is going to be a battle sooner or later, why not now?

To put it lightly, with Yang Erlang's past attitude towards enemies, once a war breaks out, he will use all his strength to uproot us and kill us all. Moreover, he has close friendship with Wei Gou, the Ming Cult, and the White Lotus Cult. Who dares to I guarantee that he will not mobilize Wei Gou, Ming Cult, and White Lotus Cult to attack us... Don’t say it’s impossible, Japan has learned from the past!”

Yang Erlang is the only one who has friendship with the Ming Cult and the White Lotus Cult? What do you mean by saying defeat before the war starts...

Just as the two guardians of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements were gradually getting angry with each other, and were about to escalate from a matter-of-fact discussion to a personal attack, a dull and slow knock on the table interrupted their quarrel.

The seven people looked at Taoist Master sitting in the middle and all fell silent.

Whether this case can be opened or not, I don't care for the moment.

Dao Zun's eyes followed the mist of ambergris, and he said slowly and in a low and slow tone: I would like to know who took the money.

There was silence in the hall, and no one spoke.

The Taoist Lord lowered his eyelids, his eyes piercing through the ambergris mist like a sharp sword and sweeping across the faces of the seven people one by one: Does no one know?

After another period of silence, the person at the top of his right hand said: You can check. Such a big operation rarely involves hundreds of people. The truth will be revealed within half a month at the latest.

Dao Zun calmly said with finality: Then let's investigate. Get the results first, and then decide whether to hand over the person.

The seven people in the hall heard what he meant, and three of them swayed slightly.

Soon someone said: Your Majesty, about twenty days ago, someone purchased from me through Yangzhou Mi Zhuang... The direction of the money of the Wufeng Fleet, and the identity of the purchaser... I don't know.

Dao Zun looked at the man: Have I ever said to stop all actions against Yang Erlang?

The man replied solemnly: I told you.

Taoist Master: Do you know that that is Yang Erlang's money?

The speaker lowered his head and replied with a trembling voice: I know.

Taoist Master: Do you know that behind that money, there are the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect?

The answer became more and more difficult to speak: I know.

Tao Zun slowly pressed one hand on the table. No matter how he acted, a vast force as deep as the night burst out from his palm. As if consciously, it divided into four parts along the big round table, and struck heavily. onto the three people whose bodies were shaking just now.

As if the three people were hit hard, the seats beneath them shattered and their bodies flew out. Before they landed, a large amount of blood spilled out from under their masks.

The three of them fell heavily to the ground. After getting up, they got up with their hands and feet without even daring to wipe the blood. They quickly returned to the round table and straightened their backs and planted their feet firmly, as if they were still sitting on chairs.

Tao Zun slowly retracted his hand and said softly: You can't smash Si Li's pot after holding Si Li's bowl. I will leave it to the three of you to make up for it. If you can make up for it, this matter will be revealed. If it doesn't happen again, it won't be fixed. You will use your lives to counteract this and serve as a warning to others.

The three of them breathed out a sigh of relief, clasped their hands together and said, Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.

Tao Zun stood up and said: I will go to Luting soon to meet with Yang Erlang. The affairs of the department will be left to the left envoy for the time being!

In addition, the list of heroes will be updated again. The four elders have become five unique ones, Feiyun of the West Path, Monk Walker of the North, Saint Peacock of the South, Great Sun of the East, and True Lord of the Central God!

The seven people in the hall stood up together, clasped their hands and said, I sincerely obey the Tao Zun's decree.
