"The villain really didn't lie! My lord, Old Brother Sun's son-in-law is a thousand households of the imperial city guard. Even if I have the guts, I wouldn't dare to take his money!"

Xu Xin seemed to make sense when he thought about it. In the capital, no one more arrogant than himself should have been born yet.

"Since you promise so much, I will trust you for the time being! Now I will go to the capital's Bingma Division to find out!"

Xu Xin jumped on his horse and raised his whip: "Uncle Sun, don't worry, I guarantee that they will not lose any of the money they deserve!"

Not long after, Xu Xin arrived at the government office of the Bingma Division in the capital.

I saw a group of common people gathered outside the mansion gate, and there were also a few people who looked like petty officials, holding water and fire sticks, and were executing a troublemaker.

"How dare you make trouble! This is what happens!"

"Crazy thinking about money, aren't you! You actually went to the government office to extort money!"

"Hit me hard! Don't tell anyone to forget what our capital's soldiers and horses do!"

Xu Xin looked at everything in front of him, and he knew it in his heart.

The person who was executed was naturally the leader. In order to protect the interests of the rest, he had a dispute with the soldiers and horses, and all of them were murdered.

Needless to say, this is ready to renege.

A sharp-eyed official saw Xu Xin coming, and quickly put away the raised water and fire stick, kicked the colleague next to him, and quickly knelt down.

"The villain pays his respects to the Commander of the Imperial City Guard..." the clerk said tremblingly.

The colleague wanted to get angry at first, but after hearing what he said, his legs softened and he fell to his knees.

The victim tried to raise his head, panting and wailing: "Master... Sir, you have to help us! They don't keep their promises, and they want to use force to make us submit..."

Seeing this, everyone knelt down and wept bitterly: "My lord, you have to be the master for us. Their classics tricked us into saying that if we go to see the late emperor off, we can get a tael of silver, but now we only need a few copper coins to think about it." Send us away."

"If we don't comply, we will be sued for gathering a crowd to make trouble, and we will be punished with more than a dozen boards."

"My lord, you know that a few copper coins are not enough for us ordinary people to make a living for a day."

"grown ups……"

Xu Xin looked at the crowd a little caught off guard.

Once upon a time, the imperial guards were like the king of Hades in their hearts, but now they are like a savior.

"Don't worry, this commander will seek justice for you!"

After saying that, he got off his horse and went to the little official, and grabbed him up.

"Get up! Lead me the way!"

In the eyes of the common people, Xu Xin entered the gate of the government office.

The capital's soldiers and horses.

Although it is a subordinate organization of the Ministry of War, its actual function is more like patrolling or arresting the police to maintain law and order in the capital. Huangchengwei or Dongchang.

Xu Xin was very puzzled as to why the Bing Ma Si dared to make trouble so boldly.

Not long after, under the guidance of the clerk, Xu Xin quickly came to the lobby.

"Go ahead and call your supervisor!"

Xu Xin ignored the patrolmen, Dian Shi and other officials who were kneeling on the ground, walked straight to the leader's seat, and sat down.

In the backyard wing.

Xiang Le, the leader of the Bingma Division in the capital, is greedily lying on the box full of silver, kissing the 100 million taels of silver he got.

"My lord, what should the people at the gate do? They saw someone hit by a board, but they still refused to leave."

At this moment, Xiang Le, the leader of the Bingma Division in the capital, couldn't hear other people's words clearly, so he picked up Wenyin and kept rubbing his face.

"If one doesn't work, just beat a few more! A group of unscrupulous people! Letting them go to the late emperor's funeral is a blessing they have cultivated for several generations!"

"Understood. But my lord, I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that Mr. Cao has withdrawn nearly 400 million taels of silver from the court this time. We here are only about 100 million taels. Could it be..."

Xiang Le was just slapped in the past: "You are dead! The factory owner is something you can talk about!"

"The villain knows it's wrong..." the official said, covering his face.

"Don't say that I didn't teach you, besides our soldiers and horses, the factory owner also needs to manage the harem, household department, military department and cabinet, etc. It's very interesting to give us 100 million taels!"

Before the words fell, I saw the little official just running in hastily.

"My lord! My lord! Something is wrong! The Commander of the Imperial City Guard, Xu Xin, is here and is waiting for you in the lobby!"

When Xiang Le heard it, all the silver in his hand fell to the ground in fright.

"What to do! My lord, did we leak the news? What should we do now!" Li Mu's legs were already weak.

Xiang Le tried his best to calm himself down, pretending to be calm and said: "A worthless thing, he must have seen the people at the door making trouble, so he came in to ask, don't mess up!"

"You guys, move the box to the back and hide it! You, go to the cabinet to see Mr. Gao Ge! And you, go to the West Factory right now, and say that Xu Xin is here to find fault! Go!" Xiang Le hurriedly directing.

He has been struggling in the officialdom for nearly ten years, and he still knows who he should find to deal with him.

After that, he ordered his subordinates to tidy up his clothes, and walked towards the lobby pretending to be calm.

"I'm a student of Mr. Ge, or Eunuch Cao's godson! He doesn't dare to do anything to us..."

Xiang Le could only comfort himself in his heart when he was about to meet the hottest commander of the Imperial City Guard in the capital.

"My lord, I'll help you wipe off your sweat!" an accompanying official complimented.

"Go away!" Xiang Le kicked him flying.

Not long after, Xiang Le and his party came to the lobby.

But as soon as he stepped into the gate, he was hit by Xu Xin's "Heavenly Might and Power", his calf softened, and he fell to his knees.

Xu Xin looked at it for a long time without saying a word, and it took a while before he put away his innate magical powers, and said slowly: "Master Xiang, you and I are both the heads of the same department, so there is no need to perform such a big gift. Don't let people think that I am insulting you .”

Xiang Le also felt that the coercion was not so strong.Tremblingly, he said: "Master Xu is just joking. I have heard that Your Excellency is young and promising. When I saw him today, I felt admiration spontaneously."

"I'm sorry, you should sit down and talk." Xu Xin said coldly.

"Thank you, sir..." Xiang Le stood up slowly with the support of his followers, and sat in the seat closest to the door.

Xu Xin looked at Erlang's legs, squinted at Xiang Le, and asked straightforwardly: "Tell me, how much money have you embezzled, how many accomplices do you have, why don't you pay the people outside."

Xu Xin spoke in a soft voice, but to Xiang Le, it was like a thunderbolt, he staggered and collapsed to the ground.

"Don't tell me? Then go to the Imperial Prison with me, and play games with Prince Ning's son by the way."

After Xu Xin finished speaking, he jumped up and came to Xiang Le, grabbed his collar, and dragged Xiang Le who was on the ground to the gate of the government office.

Everyone in the Bingma Division, seeing Xu Xin acting so arbitrarily, did not dare to do anything to stop him, and stepped aside in horror to make way.

Chapter 78 Take a bite back outside the gate of the Beijing Bingma Sifu.

The people were still waiting anxiously, and the injured had already been helped aside.

I saw a figure flying out, and everyone took a closer look, it was Xiang Le, the new leader of the army and horse division.

After he flew out, he quickly knelt and crawled to the door, kowtowed continuously, ignoring the wet crotch, muttering in his mouth.

"My lord, please spare my dog's life! As long as you let me go, I will give you all the money in the house!"

"My lord, just let me go, I won't go to prison!"

"My lord, please let me go for the sake of my godfather Xichangchangchanggong Cao Gonggong! Also, Gao Gong Gaoge, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is my mentor! Please let me go for their sake! kill me!"

Xiang Le didn't expect that the leader of the first division he had exchanged for his godfather with the several 10 taels of silver he had accumulated over the years to "filially respect" would be dismissed on his first day in office today.

But now he is not in the mood to feel sorry for those silver taels, because he doesn't even know if he can save his life.

Seeing this, the people who had already gathered in a half circle outside the courtyard clapped their hands and applauded.

"Master Xu is really a clear stream in the court! Willing to make decisions for us common people!"

Xu Xin walked out of the gate slowly, and Xiang Le went up immediately, hugging his thigh tightly.

Just when Xu Xin was about to kick him away, he saw Li Si, Hou Zi and others rushing over with a large number of troops, fearing that Xu Xin would suffer.

"My lord, are you okay?" Li Si waved his hand and let Xiang Le away who was crying.

Xu Xin gently shook the dust off his clothes: "What do you think these clowns can do to me?"

"Put him in prison and "entertain" him well! Others go in and search, and don't let any clues go!" Xu Xin pointed to Xiang Le.

Not long after, several captains came out carrying boxes full of silver.

"You arrange it, and distribute it to the people below according to the agreement. I'll go to the prison to see our leader of the army and horse department first."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xin got on his horse and rushed back to the Imperial City Guard.

cabinet.

Shoufu Gao Gong received the news that Xiang Le was arrested, and angrily smashed everything that could be smashed in front of him.

"God damn Lao Shizi! Can't you save me some time! Go and provoke Xu Xin if you have nothing to do all day long!"

After venting the anger in his heart, Gao Gong picked up a pen and wrote quickly, and asked his confidant to send it to Xichang.

……

"Report to the factory owner that Xiang Le, the leader of the Beijing Army and Horse Division, was taken away by Xu Xin!"

Cao Jixiang, who was immersed in a room full of gold and silver, was brought back to reality in a dream.

"What's the situation?" Cao Jixiang asked sharply.

"According to Xiang Le's people, it was their lord who didn't pay the people the money, and Xu Xin happened to run into a dispute later on, and that's why it happened."

"Non-brained thing! It took so much effort to get Mr. Gao Ge to promote him, and he was arrested in just one day! And to mess with that evil star!"

"It's you again! Xu Xin! It's you who ruined my good deed again!"

Cao Jixiang kept roaring, pacing back and forth.

Not long after, the letter from Gao Gong, the chief minister of the cabinet, also arrived in his hands.

The people below saw that Cao Jixiang's face was getting darker and darker, and unconsciously stepped back a little, not knowing whether Cao Changgong's seizure would affect them.

I thought that I had endured for many years, and my highlight moment finally came. I finally got a generous reward through my own efforts and strategies, but I didn't know that I was about to send it out before it became hot.

Cao Jixiang knew in his heart what kind of people were under his command, and the damned Xiang Le would have shaken everything off before he entered the gate of the Imperial City Guard.What we have to do now is to quickly burn all the evidence!

Sure enough, as Cao Jixiang expected, Xiang Le just stepped into the gate of the Imperial City Guard, broke free with all his strength, knelt down in front of Li Si and hugged his thigh tightly.

"Li Qianhu, please tell Lord Xu, I don't want to go to jail, I will tell you everything! As long as I know, I will tell you everything."

In less than half a stick of incense, Xiang Le had clearly explained the operation and how to divide the spoils.

Li Si looked at Xu Xin who was holding the confession, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "My lord, now that we have the confession, can we take down Xichang and the cabinet in one fell swoop? I'm going to call people now, and we will kill him." past!"

"Brother Li, do you want to become fat with one bite? It took you half a stick of incense to interrogate them, enough time for them to destroy the evidence several times. Besides, it's impossible to get rid of them all at once. of."

"Let's do this tonight. You have been busy all day, so go to bed early."

After leaving, Xu Xin knocked on the door of the tavern, wanting to buy a few bottles of flower carvings. The boss saw that it was Xu Xin who helped them get back their silver taels, so he refused to accept any money.

Xu Xin took Hua Diao and knocked on Dao Yan's door.

"Mister, I'm here to buy you a drink." After finishing speaking, he took out two more wine glasses from his pocket, and placed them in front of Dao Yan together with the flower carvings.

"Master Xu, bring it here. Let me see what is written in the confession." Dao Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to Xu Xin.

After reading the confession, Dao Yan took a sip of wine and said, "Master Xu thought well. Based on this alone, it is impossible to overthrow the West Factory and the cabinet. If they accuse you of slandering the court officials, you will It's not easy."

"The matter of impeachment and cursing should be left to professional people. If you give this confession to Master Xu Youzhen, he will know how to deal with it, so that he can show up more in court."

Xu Xin nodded and raised his wine glass: "I thought so too at first, but I still have to ask the old man for his opinion. Come old man, let's go!"

The next day.

The little chubby emperor held his first court meeting since he ascended the throne, and he looked solemn, as if he had withdrawn from his sorrow, and was sitting on his dragon chair.

The Empress Dowager who was sitting next to her said, "Masters, what do you want to discuss today?"

I saw the chief minister of the cabinet stand up and salute.

"The minister has a note to play. The former Chief Assistant Zhou Cong Zhou has begged for his old age and returned to his hometown. He has submitted his resignation last night. Please review the emperor and queen mother."

"There is also a flood in the territory of Binzhou Prefecture. The governor of Binzhou Prefecture has requested to distribute food and silver taels for disaster relief."

After listening to the Queen Mother, she said without raising her eyelids: "After discussing with you, you will have an opinion on how to deal with the ticket, and it will be fine when the emperor approves it. Is there anything else you want to announce for the rest of the Qing family?"
