Chapter 688 Untitled
wow——

The torrential rain fell, and it was already evening in Bianliang City, and the sky became darker.The water flowed down the eaves, passed through the gaps, and turned into a torrent of muddy water among the alleyways of the city, flooding wantonly.

In Willow Alley, a few large vehicles were parked in the alleyway filled with sewage, and some men in guard uniforms spread out with umbrellas from far and near.Next to it is a dilapidated small door, where people gather, and occasionally there are crying sounds, and the voices of people sometimes quarrel and sometimes justify.

Ning Yi was talking to the crying woman in the dilapidated house.

"... From going to the academy to studying in the academy, to the Mavericks taking the exam, we will be responsible for all his expenses. If there is any injury to his leg, we will take care of him for the rest of his life..."

"Auntie Pan, your life is not easy. I know that Maverick's father died to defend the city. At that time, Zhu Biao and the others were also working hard outside the city. Speaking of it, we can fight together. We are all one family. We don't need to do things. If you are so stiff, you can say anything. If you have a request, you can mention it..."

"...No, no, no, we are definitely not bullying you. Don't cry. You see, I also asked the patriarch to come over this matter. As long as your ideas are reasonable, we will help to do it..."

The woman's crying became louder occasionally, but Ning Yi's words were always slow and sincere.Time gradually passed by in such an atmosphere. Around nightfall, the rain was a little lighter. A group of men and horses in coir raincoats came from the other side of the street. When they came here, they rubbed against the guards outside. But the person in charge finally walked to the dilapidated courtyard gate quickly.

The leader is Tie Tianying, one of the seven chief arrestees of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

He strode across the yard, and in the room over there, the two parties seemed to have reached an agreement, but the woman froze there with a bitter expression when she saw Tie Tianying coming in, seeing that she was about to come in again. cry out.

Ning Yi went over and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, aunt, you go and wait first, let's make things clear, and there will be no more trouble. I will tell him about Tie Butou, He's just doing business and there's no trouble..."

Just as he was persuading him, Tie Tianying stepped into the door: "Ning Liheng, how dare you do this! Mrs. Pan, if he threatens you in private, you can tell me, I will not be able to get around him!"

In the room, a tall and thin old man came over: "Boss catcher, head catcher, there is no threat, no threat, Mr. Ning is here this time, just to explain the matter clearly, this old man can testify..."

"Who are you!?" Tie Tianying glared at him.

"This old man is the patriarch of the Niu clan. He came here because of the calf's injury. Sir, sit down..."

"Go away, I'm talking to the surname Ning, and whether there is any threat, it's up to you!"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Niu, please tell the chief arrester quickly..."

The patriarch couldn't bear Tie Tianying's good looks, so he hurriedly spoke to the woman next to him, she was just a daughter-in-law who married into Niu's family, even if her husband died, she still had children, the patriarch stared at her, how could she dare to mess around.But the chief arrester in front of him is also a great person. After a while, he said with tears: "Say it clearly, make it clear, Mr. Chief arrester..."

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps.Tie Tianying's eyes were stern, but with these words, Ning Yi sent the woman aside.When he turned back, Tie Tianying looked at him and nodded with a sneer: "Okay, Ning Liheng, you're really good. After these few days, you've settled so many houses..."

"It's just hard work, Boss Tie has a good reputation." Ning Yi sighed, and then said, "Tie Butou, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Tie Tianying tilted his head: "Speak."

"They are all small households, and none of them can afford to offend them." Standing under the eaves, Ning Yi looked back at the entire yard, "Since the decision has been made, let them go, okay? Don't look back and trouble them, stay They live."

With a sincere tone, Tie Tianying's muscles pulled a few times, and finally he waved his hand: "Go!" He led the people out of the courtyard.Ning Yi then wiped his hands, and went outside with the head of the Niu clan.

Everyone came here today because of something that happened a few days ago.

It has been a full month since the situation in the capital took a turn for the worse in March of this year, and Qin Yuyuan was put on trial after being imprisoned.During this month, many complicated things happened behind the scenes, and the public opinion on the surface was also undergoing drastic changes.

After Qin Yuyuan's trial, many things that had been kept in the dark were brought to the fore. Corruption and perverting the law, forming cliques for personal gain, and using power for profit... All kinds of evidence were laid out, bringing out a huge profile of corrupt officials.The ones who did the painting were some of the most powerful and smartest people in the Wu Dynasty at this time, including Zhou Zhe, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, and so on.

Half of the evidence of these things is basically true, and after they list and weave together, it finally produces a huge persuasive force in the day-to-day joint trial.These things were fed back to the ears and mouths of the scholars in the capital, and then fell into the lower-level information network every day. So in more than a month, when Qin Shaoqian was implicated and imprisoned, the city was very concerned about Qin Yuyuan, one of the "Seven Tigers". A series of reflections are also reversed and finalized.

Some shops and industries related to the Qin family were implicated on a small scale, including Zhuji and some bookstores that originally belonged to the Wang family.

The Wang family's property was originally run by the family of the great Confucian Wang Qisong. Wang Shanyue had a mentorship with Qin Yuyuan, and later fought side by side with Ning Yi in Shandong. Bewitched by Ning Yi, they became a cooperative relationship.After the expansion of Zhuji, Ning Yi planned to improve some machinery and processes in the book printing and paper book workshops to improve efficiency. These bookstores were taken care of by a group of women from the Wang family.

At this time, Zhu Biao, who was working next to Ning Yi, came to Bianliang, fell in love with a girl from the Wang family, made a marriage, and occasionally went to the Wang family to help.

On this day in mid-April, some people were incited and bewitched, and ran into Wang's shop to smash it. Zhu Biao happened to be there, blocking the courtyard door leading to the backyard of the bookstore, and beat the people who rushed in. .

Zhu Biao learned from Luan Tingyu, and he was one of the best fighters in Dulonggang. Later, he fought with Ning Yi. His skill at this time may not be inferior to that of Chen Fan in Hangzhou. He is one of the most powerful people around Ning Yi , in the capital in front of him, perhaps there is only one Lu Hongti who can steadily suppress him.With his skills approaching the level of a master, ordinary three-to-five "patriotic youths" would not be opponents. In a rage, dozens of people were beaten to the ground, but this also caused trouble.

The bookstore was subsequently closed down, and the government also began to investigate the matter, wanting to arrest Zhu Biao and bring him into the case.On the one hand, Ning Yi suppressed this matter, and on the other hand, settled the wounded and the sufferer.Fortunately, Zhu Biao has followed Ning Yi for so long, and his previous reckless habits have changed a lot. If he is still the same as when he first left Dulonggang, in these days of forbearance, dozens of ordinary people rush in, I am afraid that one of them will can't live.

Under Ning Yi's investigation, among dozens of people, about a dozen were slightly injured, and one was seriously injured. It was this young man named "Maverick". His father died defending the city. He rushed in and smashed the store and beat people, Zhu Biao threw him away and he rushed over again, and was finally thrown by Zhu Biao on the steps and broke his leg.

Tie Tianying and others collected evidence to convict Zhu Biao, while Ning Yi arranged a lot of people to settle the matter with lures or threats. Although it was only a few days, the difficulties involved cannot be detailed. For example, the calf's mother, Pan, was threatened and lured by Ning Yi on the one hand, and on the other hand, Tie Tianying and others did the same thing, asking her to kill the assailant, or the lion's big mouth. Price.Ning Yi came back several times, and finally settled the matter this time.

Although this Pan family is a bit greedy for cheap, she also wants to make a lot of money by taking advantage of this opportunity, but under the intimidation of Tie Tianying and Ning Yi, she is not doing well. Neither side dared to offend, and that's why Ning Yi finally said that to Tie Tianying.

All the way back to Bamboo Notes, after dinner, more things are still in front of us.Zhu Biao's matter is not easy, it is very troublesome, but the troublesome matter is more than just the one in front of him.

In the past few days, two Zhuji shops have also been smashed, which is still a trivial matter.The secret investigation department's system and Zhuji have been separated. These days, the capital city is the center, and the news network in the surrounding area is being delivered. Many elites from Zhuji have been sent out, and Qi Xinyi and Qi Xinhan brothers are also going south. manage.In the capital, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs made trouble, some staff members were threatened, and some chose to leave. It can be said that the bamboo record system established at the beginning can be separated. At this time, most of them are falling apart. It is not easy for Ning Yi to hold the core.

It's not time for him to leave, but it's almost there.Of course, leaving may not be such a straightforward and simple matter. He did some backhands, but he didn't know if it would work.

After dinner, the rain had become smaller. Zhuji’s staff and shopkeepers were discussing matters in several rooms in the yard, while Ning Yi was dealing with things on the other side: a shopkeeper came over and said that two shop assistants were arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Trouble, the matter of being beaten, and then an aide came over to submit his resignation.

Ning Yi allocated the injury expenses for the two shop assistants in his hand, and asked the shopkeeper to appease their families, and persuaded the staff, but in the end the other party gave up the idea—probably seeing Ning Yi's difficulties.

After the two groups of people left, a tall and straight young man also came over at the gate far away. It was Zhu Biao who had been arranged by Ning Yi to do other things these days. At this time, he should have heard of Ning Yi. What Yi and others did, they rushed over, their eyes were not hesitant, but naturally it was not aimed at Ning Yi.

"Sit." Ning Yi smiled and raised his hand.

Zhu Biao sat down in front.Although warriors are not in the officialdom, they also have their own status and bearing, especially those who have trained to Zhu Biao's level, they can be called masters in ordinary places, and they will not bow their heads to anyone, but at this time, in his heart Really simmering stuff.

"Although I was born in Dulonggang and other places, I Zhu Biao never felt that I was an unreasonable bandit and savage."

After sitting for a while, Zhu Biao finally said: "Let's not talk about the fighting I was waiting outside the city, no matter whether they were deceived or not, they rushed into the bookstore and smashed them that day, they are already damned, I stopped, didn't they Because I was wrong."

He said this calmly but resolutely, and Ning Yi has already made him a cup of tea: "You and I have known each other for several years, and I understand if you don't say it. If you can't make it through..."

"I can't get over it in my heart, I want to kill someone." Zhu Biao smiled, "But it will cause you trouble again."

"The capital has its own way of playing in the capital, but luckily it's over." Ning Yi paused, "If you feel uncomfortable, there are some things in the north now, I can let you go and relax. You are a martial arts practitioner, so worry about it." Too much, it will hinder your entry."

It is extremely difficult for warriors to endure humiliation, especially for someone like Zhu Biao, but right now there are not so many reasons.Fortunately, the two have been together for several years, and they are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to explain too much.After Ning Yi proposed, Zhu Biao shook his head.

"I was holding back my anger before I came here, but I've already suppressed it on the way." He said, "You are holding back a lot more anger than I am. When I think about this, I feel that my practice is really not enough. You are looking for someone these days Apologize, you shouldn't hide it from me, it's better to invite me together."

"That's not to take care of your emotions. It's better to solve this kind of thing if you don't come forward. Anyway, it's a matter of money and relationship. If you are here, they will only make progress." Ning Yi shook his head, "As for anger, I Of course there are, but at this time, anger is useless... you really don't want to go out for a walk?"

Zhu Biao shook his head again.

Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "Sometimes I also feel that I want to kill all those fools. It's a one-hundredth. Looking back, the Jurchens will call again. Anyway, these people are going to die. Thinking about it this way, my heart I just feel cold... Of course, this period of time is really difficult. No matter how much I can bear it, I will not treat other people's slaps as rewards. Zhuji and Xiangfu are like this. Old Qin and Yao Zunian, Compared with us, it's much harder, if you can last for a while, help them block a little bit..."

"Before working with you, I admired my master and his ability to fight. Later, I admired you for being able to calculate people. After working with you, I admired Master Zhou Tong. He is a real hero and deserves it." Zhu Biao said, " Now I admire you. What you do is not something ordinary people can do. You can hold back. I have nothing to say. If you are in the capital, I will be in the capital. If someone wants to kill you, I will help you stop it! Of course, if If necessary, I can make a Tie Tianying for you, and then I will fly away, you shake me out, and I will join you when you leave Beijing."

Ning Yi froze for a moment, then laughed: "That's not necessary, Tie Tianying is just a petty official, why kill him..."

"Others can too."

"Don't fight and kill all day, I just wanted to say that you have grown up..."

While Ning Yi was talking, someone came in in a hurry. Seeing that it was Zhu Biao who was always guarding Ning Yi, he didn't shy away too much. He gave Ning Yi a piece of information, and then whispered a few words sentence.Ning Yi took the information and glanced at it, his eyes gradually darkened.In the past month, this is his usual expression...

The next day was April 23 of this year, and it rained again in the morning, and the trial of Qin Yuyuan in Dali Temple was still going on.This interrogation is not public, but under the operation of people with good intentions, the newly discovered problems in the daily trial will be spread on the same day, and often become the talk of scholars and scholars.

After the trial at noon, Qin Yuyuan will be escorted back to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The children of the Qin family often come here, Mrs. Qin, Qin Yuyuan's concubine Yunniang and others are also waiting here every time, first to see Qin Yuyuan, and second to see Qin Shaoqian who has been involved.This morning, Ning Yi and others also arrived early. He sent people to live in the middle of the event and sent a lot of money, but then there was no good effect.At noon, when Qin Yuyuan and Qin Shaoqian were escorted out, Ning Yi and others went up to meet them.

Since they were not convicted, the two only wore chains symbolically.Living in the sky prison for several days, Qin Yuyuan's body became thinner every time, but even so, his gray hair was still combed neatly behind his head, his spirit and will were still tenaciously supporting his life operation, and Qin Shaoqian did not fall down. Now, probably because of his father's presence, his anger has become more restrained and quiet, but when he saw Ning Yi and others, his eyes fluctuated a little, and then he looked around.

"Where's my mother? Is she... sick again?"

He looked around and saw that Mrs. Qin hadn't arrived, so he asked this question.Ning Yi hesitated and shook his head, Yun Niang also explained to Qin Yuyuan: "Sister is fine, it's just..." She looked at Ning Yi.

"There may be some things that did not let the old lady come over." Ning Yi replied like this.

Qin Yuyuan nodded and walked forward.He has experienced everything, his family is fine, and other things are not a big deal.

Along the way, Ning Yi roughly explained the situation to Qin Yuyuan, but Qin Yuyuan was slightly absent-minded after hearing this.Ning Yi immediately went to send money to those government officials and jailers, but this time, no one answered, and his suggestion of changing the route was not accepted.

After leaving Dali Temple for a while, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and it was cloudy, and there were still traces of previous rain on the road.Ning Yi looked to the side from a distance, someone gave him a gesture, and he frowned.At this moment, he was approaching the busy city, as if he felt something, the old man also turned his head and looked over there. Someone on the second floor of the roadside restaurant was looking over here.

"Look, that's the old dog Qin Yuyuan!" The man suddenly shouted.

More people poked their heads out from there, mostly scholars.

"Qin Yuyuan? Which one?"

"And his son... Qin Shaoqian—"

After some discussion, someone suddenly yelled: "A traitorous dog—"

"Why don't you die! Old dog—"

"This country has been emptied by you—"

The scolding came, but it was monotonous and loud at this moment. Ning Yi frowned, and Qin Yuyuan next to him looked calm, but now he tilted his head: "Hehe, I'm sorry..." The deepest part of the laughter was exhausted.

When everyone passed by the restaurant, there were more and more curses, and many scholars went downstairs, shouting and cursing incessantly.In Qin Yuyuan's team, a ten-year-old child couldn't help shouting: "My third grandfather is a good man—" Everyone scolded: "Is that the old dog's grandson?" "Damn your whole family—" —”

Ning Yi walked forward and grabbed the jailer leader's arm: "Go! If something happens now, see if you can get better!" The leader was stunned: "This, this, this...it's none of my business." Although Uneasy, but did not follow through.

"Who ordered you to do this before?"

"What, what, don't talk nonsense!"

"Look at the old man in the back. Others don't know whether he is good or bad. You know. He was framed, but it's not that no one cares about him. You tell me everything, and I'll find a way to pass this test. Your benefit."

"What nonsense are you talking..."

The jailers who came here this time are not familiar with Ning Yi. Although they seem to be kind to others, they are actually hard to impress for a while.During the negotiation, the shouting and cursing on the side of the road became more and more intense, and a group of scholars followed and scolded.In these days of interrogation, with the emergence of a lot of evidence, Qin Yuyuan has at least been convicted of several crimes. In the eyes of ordinary people, the logic is very clear. If the Qin family had not controlled the power and was insatiable, the national strength would naturally be better, even If Qin Shaoqian hadn't used extraordinary means to unite all the elite soldiers under his command, suppressed his colleagues and eliminated dissidents, maybe the outside of the city would not have been defeated like that—also, if it hadn't been for the treachery to obstruct, how could he die in this Bianliang defense battle? So many people, so many defeated battles.

The passers-by on the road were a little puzzled at first, but then many people joined in.Ning Yi was also a little anxious. Regarding the fact that a group of scholars were coming to block Qin Yuyuan, he had received rumors before, but then he realized that it was not that simple. He arranged for a few people to go to the group of scholars, and when they were instigating Singing the opposite tune, trying to make people's hearts unbalanced, but then, those people were arrested and quickly went in and took them away.

"Old dog! Can you sleep at night!?"

"A group of traitors, I wish I could kill you—"

"Hundreds of thousands of people who died in vain—"

"Cheer up Wu Dynasty! Get rid of the Seven Tigers—"

"Eliminate the country's thieves, revitalize—"

Everyone shouted, someone picked up something on the ground and threw it over. Ning Yi had already walked back to Qin Yuyuan's side, and waved his hand to block it, but it turned out to be a filthy lump of mud, and mud and water splashed everywhere.

"How dare he block—"

"Does the traitorous dog want to beat someone—"

The scholars over there shouted again. Seeing that many passers-by joined in, their emotions became even higher, and they grabbed something and called again.At first, it was mostly mud, coal, and mud on the ground, and then someone threw stones over.Ning Yi protected Qin Yuyuan, and then the guards around him also came to protect Ning Yi.At this moment in the long long street, many people poked their heads out. The people in front stopped. They looked at this side, they were puzzled at first, then they started shouting and joined the team excitedly. In this morning, the crowd began to become crowded. .

"Wu Chao Xiongqi—"

"Drink its blood, eat its flesh—"

"Swear to kill the Jurchens, show off my Tianwei—"

The sound was loud, the scholars shouted hysterically, their faces were flushed with excitement, and many things were thrown from the air, but they were definitely not edible things such as tomatoes, eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves.Qin Yuyuan was protected in it and moved forward with difficulty. He yelled at Ning Yi and others: "You go! You go! Don't mix--" Ning Yi ignored him and asked the people around him to find the door planks to protect them. The road ahead, but a lot of things still smashed in.

The situation became more and more chaotic as they moved forward. Someone was hit by a stone and fell down, beside Qin Yuyuan, but there was a bang, and another figure fell down. It was his concubine Yunniang, who was hit on the head. The stone fell softly.Qin Shaoqian, who was following up next to her, supported her. He stood beside his father and the aunt, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and he walked forward with his head bowed.Someone in the crowd shouted: "My uncle is a loyal minister." "My third grandfather is innocent, he saved you all—" This shout was accompanied by crying, which made the crowd outside even more excited.

"Beat, beat the rape dog——"

"Hit their family—"

"Let them know how awesome it is!"

The atmosphere on the long street was frenzied, everyone was shouting like this, and came crowded.Ning Yi's guards found a wooden plank, and everyone walked forward with support. Someone rushed over with a bucket in front of him. It was two buckets of dung.The stench was overwhelming, and people shouted loudly, and some people threw cow dung, dog dung and the like at it, and some people shouted: "My father was killed by your gang of treacherous ministers—"

"People from harm--"

"Kill the treacherous officials, God bless the Wu Dynasty—"

At this time, Ning Yi had a lot of things on his body. He squeezed forward in silence. The old man next to him was also messed up, and his body was stained with filth. He was just silent and protected Yun Niang.After a while, he realized that he pinched Ning Yi's hand: "Yunniang, Liheng, come and take Yunniang out, hurry up—" The old man realized that the only thing he was begging for was about his family. , Many children of the Qin family around were already crying, and some fell down. The surrounding crowd refused to let them go, they kicked and beat them on the ground, and then Zhuji's guards pulled them back.

Ning Yi handed Yunniang to Zhu Biao next to him: "Take her out."

Zhu Biao handed her over to another person. With a straight face, he stretched out his hand to block the objects thrown in the air, and then he was hit by cow dung again.

In the distance, the headhunters of the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to rush over to maintain order. They stared at the team that was about to be buried in anger, and they were always on guard against the violent counterattack of Ning Yi and others, and were ready to arrest people at any time.

The wave of voices gathered was like a celebration. Many people in the city were alarmed. Some joined in, and some watched from afar, laughing loudly.On this day, facing an enemy who could not fight back, people who had suffered too much under the siege of the Jurchens finally won a complete victory for the first time...

　Six thousand nine hundred words, well, think about it, such a title is used.
