This martial saint is too generous
Chapter 226 The Ministry of Punishment exploded
The fourth child hurriedly came to the Ministry of War.
After some pleading, his mentor reluctantly decided to ask the Minister of War for instructions.
His mentor, Li Yongshi, was a chief of the Ministry of War. Above the chief, there was the doctor, and above the doctor was the minister.
Li Yongshi's official position was actually at the same level as Wu Heqian.
If it weren't for the fact that his fourth son was so beautiful, had no background, and had no marriage, Li Yongshi wouldn't even bother to go about his business.
It would be very difficult for the Vice Minister to ask him to give an order and to designate a head of the Criminal Department to cooperate in handling the case.
According to rank, the head of the Criminal Department is on an equal footing with him.
However, in recent years, there have been continuous battles on the border. The Holy Emperor needs the soldiers of the Ministry of War to take the lead, so the position of the Ministry of War is the first of the sixth rank.
If something happens to the Ministry of War, the other five departments must cooperate fully and not slack off. If the affairs of the Ministry of War are delayed, dismissal will be a minor matter. In the past, there were cases of beheading.
This is why Li Yongshi agreed to the student's request.
As long as the Minister of War signed the letter, the head of the Criminal Department must cooperate unconditionally in handling the case.
Besides, handling the case is not the focus, the main thing is just delaying time.
"Students, thank you very much for your mentor. This kindness will be unforgettable by the students!"
The fourth child knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Li Yongshi to thank him.
"Get up, your young master is your benefactor. You have worked so hard for your benefactor, which proves that you have a pure nature. I am very happy... without further ado, let's go to the Ministry of Punishment immediately!"
Li Yongshi nodded.
In his heart, he actually wanted to train his fourth son as a son-in-law.
He has no son, only a daughter, and must find a successor he can trust.
Due to his lack of talent and foundation, Li Yongshi's achievements in his lifetime would most likely be limited to being the head of the infantry department.
The disciple is astute, good at observing people's emotions, and has a pearly foundation. His future prospects are not the best. The key is that he does not have any complicated power background, his background is relatively clean, and he is easy to control.
This is the best choice for a son-in-law.
The most important point is that this disciple has repaid his kindness, and I support him now, so that when the day comes when he is gone, my daughter will not be let down.
…
The two led several people from the Ministry of War and hurried to the Ministry of Punishment.
As soon as they walked out of the gate, a group of generals in armor came menacingly.
From a distance, there is a sense of oppression coming towards the face, which is suffocating.
This group of people were still injured, their eyes were sharp, their movements were filled with terrifying murderous intent, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Lao Si and the others were at the door. When they saw this group of people approaching, they hurriedly moved out of the way...
Boom boom boom boom...
A group of people walked through the door, their footsteps heavier than others.
When they passed by, Lao Si and the others didn't dare to breathe.
Until this group of people arrived at the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Justice, they were still following him.
"Don't look at it... This is General Zhang Puqing. He won the battle a few days ago and returned to the imperial capital this morning. He just came back from the palace to meet the emperor!"
Li Yongshi said.
"So majestic, this is the style of a general!"
In the team, a soldier from the Ministry of War sighed.
"You are very lucky to be able to stay in the imperial capital. Be careful, I will send you to the border to fight..."
Li Yongshi cursed.
The people in the Imperial Military Department were mainly responsible for logistics and other matters, but they were actually looked down upon by real soldiers.
But safe.
Without background, it would be impossible to stay in the imperial capital.
"If this general can intercede for the young master, maybe the Ministry of Punishment will release him directly!"
The fourth child's pupils were hot and he muttered to himself.
"You kid, stop thinking nonsense... It's impossible for General Zhang Puqing to help General Beiying."
Li Yongshi said calmly.
The fourth child's muttering voice was very low, but he still couldn't hide it from Li Yongshi.
"Ah...why..."
The fourth child was stunned.
Although he was not qualified to ask Zhang Puqing to take action, he was still curious.
"General Zhang Puqing has a grudge against General Su Zhannan, and everyone in the court knows that Flying General Beiying is General Su Zhannan's man...get it!"
Li Yongshi shook his head.
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me!"
The fourth child nodded.
After a simple interlude and a few breaths of time, everyone came to their senses and immediately walked towards the Punishment Department.
…
Zhang Puqing was in a bad mood.
He won the battle, which was a great triumph that was enough to make the Holy Lord Long Yan happy.
The last time Su Zhannan won a great victory in Qiqi City, and even fought all the way to the capital of Dacho Kingdom, this made Zhang Puqing very angry, even jealous.
It happened that Zhang Puqing's army was trapped on the border at that time. Due to lack of money and food, the army was demoralized and lost three important cities in a row... At the critical moment, the royal court's salary and food arrived, and the soldiers were well fed and finally lost the lost city. The city was taken back again.
With food in hand, Zhang Puqing organized his troops and won every victory, driving back the enemy's army, and the border was peaceful for another half a year.
After the dust settled, Zhang Putian came back to receive the reward and thank the saint for his grace.
He could have breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't be happy.
The food and wages at the critical moment were collected by the imperial envoy Mushidi from Shanhu Province.
He also had some friendship with Mu Shidi in private.
It's a pity that his friend and benefactor has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and treason, and is about to be beheaded.
Absolutely abominable.
The dynasty is full of moths, why did the Holy One choose Zhongliang to perform the surgery?
Sadly, I can't do anything.
"General, we have good news!"
Suddenly, a deputy general walked in.
He knew why Zhang Puqing was upset, so he inquired about some good news.
"explain!"
Zhang Puqing said coldly.
"In the battle of Qi Qicheng, there was a young man who inherited the legacy of the Northern Eagle Flying General, and he helped Su Zhannan win every victory..."
"The general has just received news that the young master who inherited the title of Flying General of Northern Eagle was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment... It is said that he was charged with harboring an important wanted criminal."
"After entering the dungeon of the Criminal Department, it is difficult to come out alive. This is a heavy blow to Su Zhannan."
The deputy general said vividly.
"Arrested by the Criminal Department? What wanted criminal is he harboring?"
Zhang Puqing said doubtfully.
Speaking of Northern Eagle Flying General, Zhang Puqing felt so angry that his liver ached.
He was angry at why this young man was not used by him, and angry at Su Zhannan for having such good luck.
"It is said that he colluded to hide the son of the imperial envoy M Shidi. Some people also say that he offended people from the Ministry of Punishment... But the real reason is that the descendant of Northern Eagle Flying General has a secret treasure in his hand. The Ministry of Punishment wanted to seize the treasure and deliberately fabricated it. .”
"No matter what the reason is, Su Zhannan will definitely be heartbroken to death."
The lieutenant beamed.
He had seen the general angry because of the Northern Eagle.
…
Snapped!
…
Suddenly, Zhang Puqing slapped the deputy general in the face.
"Damn...can you still laugh?"
Zhang Puqing's face turned the color of pig liver with anger:
"It's OK to fight within the Ministry of War and kill people, but it's not allowed to be bullied by the Ministry of Punishment..."
"This kid has made great contributions in Qiji City. Even if he joins Su Zhannan, he is still from the Ministry of War... No, I can't just ignore things!"
Zhang Puqing suddenly stood up.
He subconsciously wanted to get a weapon, but there was nothing in hand. Only then did he realize that he was in the imperial capital now, and the weapons were still in the barracks outside the city.
After rubbing his hands, Zhang Puqing put on a bloody cloak and was about to go out.
"General, are we going to forcefully break into the Criminal Department? It's absolutely impossible."
The deputy general was almost frightened to tears.
Breaking into the dungeon of the Criminal Department is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and an act of rebellion.
"Bullshit... How can I be so reckless as a general? Come with me immediately. We will directly surround the Criminal Department... If I don't break into the dungeon, I will block the Yamen of the Criminal Department. I want to watch the Criminal Department interrogate Qin Jinyang with my own eyes..."
Zhang Puqing cursed.
"General, you have some grudges with the Minister of Punishment. This..."
the lieutenant stammered.
"So what if there is a grudge?"
"I, Zhang Putian, didn't go to ask him, Lu Chongqing. I watched the Ministry of Punishment handle the case. The Holy One didn't say not to allow it, right?"
Zhang Puqing was still thinking about Mu Shidi.
If Qin Jinyang really helped Mu Zhihe, then he should help him even more.
If he is innocent, he cannot watch the people from the Ministry of War being bullied.
…
Xingbu Street.
The Shengtang Yamen is in the most conspicuous position.
Next to the Yamen is the most magnificent mansion: Lu Mansion.
This is where the Minister of Punishment lives.
Lu Mansion Study Room.
Lu Chongqing was anxious and worried, holding a hot imperial edict in his hand.
The eunuch who delivered the order was still in the study. Lu Chongqing, while saying good things, reported the news of Mu Zhihe's arrest by the Ministry of Punishment to the eunuch who delivered the order.
Lu Chongqing has been going crazy these days.
Damn Mu Zhihe, where are you hiding?
He was worried because of the imperial envoy Mu Shi's case.
Mu Shidi's son must be caught.
In fact, the case of executing the imperial envoy is far from being as simple as it seems.
Mu Shidi is also an idiot. He is obviously a loyal minister, but he insists on doing something mindless.
Shan Huxing has dug out so much money, even if you secretly hide it in your own pocket, maybe His Majesty can spare your life.
In Shanhu Province, the people have even come to the point where they only recognize Mushidi and not the emperor, let alone the yamen, which are the enemies of the people.
Maybe you, the Imperial Envoy, are fiercely loyal, but what you did is even more terrifying than the rebels.
A few days ago, the news that the emperor was going to execute Mu Shidi reached Shanhu Province. Many people went crazy and even came to the imperial capital to complain.
Fortunately, the road was far away and the people were unable to travel long distances.
In order to appease the mob, the imperial court has ordered Shan Huxing and the provincial government to release the news that the execution of Mu Shidi was false. The people believed it to be true. For now, they can suppress the public complaints first.
Time is a very good weapon. After a while, the treasury has relaxed and the people have had enough to eat, so they will no longer worry about Mushidi's well-being.
People are thoughtless, easily agitated, and forgetful.
For the Holy Spirit, many conflicts that cannot be resolved will not be a big deal in three years.
It can only be said that Mu Shidi is a good person and a good official, but his brain is not enough.
In his heart, Lu Chongqing actually despised Mushidi.
Although he is a minister, his background and power are not as profound as those of other ministers. However, after serving as minister in the six departments for so many years, Lu Chongqing is the most proficient in the wisdom of balance.
The person Lu Chongqing admires most is the pilgrim.
He doesn't admire the position of the Holy One. Reincarnation in the body of a dragon is fate, and envy is useless.
Lu Chongqing admired the emperor for his ultimate control of balance, which was the pinnacle of things.
You must know that all the small forces that balance the small punishment department have been suffering from insomnia, but His Majesty controls the entire dynasty.
For example, the execution of Mu Shidi was the ultimate expression of His Majesty's wisdom.
In the past, the Ministry of War was not satisfied, all the ministries were not satisfied, and the national treasury was still very empty.
The imperial envoys were dispatched, the treasury had money, and the Ministry of War won the battle... Of course, many people in the government were dissatisfied.
But by killing Mu Shidi, the emperor gave those people face and asked them to find their own steps.
Your Majesty has stabilized this balance.
On the surface, it seems that Mu Shidi has been sacrificed to heaven, and Mu Zhihe is just a heir, so there is no need to kill them all.
But it’s not.
Mu Zhihe must be killed...
Once this person leaves the imperial capital, he will be in big trouble if he has anything to do with the rebels.
The group of victims in Shanhuxing Province who had been rescued by Mushidi were all the sources of troops for the rebels.
If Mu Zhihe escapes from the imperial capital and goes to Danhuxing Province to raise his voice... the consequences will be disastrous...
"Ahem... Mr. Lu has worked hard, but the Holy Master is also annoyed... This Mu Zhihe must be caught within three days. He must be seen alive, and his body must be seen dead..."
The eunuch who delivered the order pinched his throat and said: "Of course, the Za family has also seen Mr. Lu's hard work. The Za family will try their best to say good things in front of the Holy Sage. If something unexpected happens, the Holy Sage will appreciate Mr. Lu's hard work and may be able to give him a few days of grace... "
The eunuch added.
"In that case, thank you father-in-law..."
Lu Chongqing thanked him again and again.
He must please Eunuch Chi, who is the person close to His Majesty.
After returning to the palace, every word he said to His Majesty was related to his image in His Majesty's mind.
To put it bluntly, these eunuchs are the eyes of the emperor.
The eunuchs were greedy for money, but how could the emperor not know this? Compared with the eunuchs, the emperor distrusted the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty even more.
…
"Report..."
Lu Chongqing was chatting with Eunuch Chi.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"What's up……"
Lu Chongqing stood up.
If there is nothing particularly important, subordinates would not dare to knock on the door.
The most important matter at the moment is Mu Zhihe's matter.
Could it be...
Is there the whereabouts of Mu Zhihe?
Lu Chongqing's heart skipped a beat.
"Sir, people from the Ministry of War suddenly surrounded the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, saying that the Ministry of Justice had arrested people from the Ministry of Defense and they wanted to watch the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice!"
Report from my subordinates.
"People from the Ministry of War? Who?"
Lu Chongqing frowned.
It was really unlucky. I thought it was because I had the news about Mu Zhihe that I was happy for nothing.
unlucky.
"It's General Zhang Puqing!"
The subordinate frowned and said hurriedly.
"who?"
"Zhang Puqing is back? Why didn't he die on the battlefield...damn thing..."
Lu Chongqing cursed.
He has been busy in the Ministry of Punishment and does not know the news of Zhang Puqing's return.
"Lord Lu, please be careful... General Zhang Puqing is fighting for your majesty."
Eunuch Chi coughed slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I hope Eunuch Chi won't take it to heart, just a little complaint in his heart."
Lu Chongqing hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, people are not saints, it's understandable!"
Eunuch Chi nodded.
"Since General Zhang Puqing is here, let him wait and tell General Zhang that I am receiving the order and will go to the court in person later!"
"By the way, give General Zhang Puqing a chair, don't neglect the hero!"
Lu Chongqing said coldly.
Hearing this, the subordinate turned and left.
…
"grown ups……"
Not long after his subordinate left, he unexpectedly appeared at the door again.
"What's the matter...say!"
Lu Chongqing was about to bribe Eunuch Chi, but before he could take out the treasure, he was interrupted again.
"Sir, a group of consorts came outside the Punishment Department's Yamen. They seem to want to watch the Punishment Department go to court for interrogation."
The subordinates stuttered a bit in their words.
"who?"
"A bunch of princes? They're crazy... aren't they busy today?"
Lu Chongqing was just about to scold the consorts for being crazy, but Eunuch Chi was present and hurriedly stopped.
At the same time, he did not dare to offend these consorts.
The national treasury was empty, and ordinary soldiers in the Ministry of Punishment had to rely on the generosity of the princes-in-law for their salaries.
"You pass the order and tell the princes to wait. I will go to the court later..."
Lu Chongqing waved his hand.
He plans to continue bribing Eunuch Chi.
At the same time, Lu Chongqing was wondering in his heart what important figures in the Ministry of War had been arrested by the Ministry of Punishment, and even the consorts were here.
…
"Master Shangshu, someone else is here..."
"who?"
"It's Zhong Beihong from the Skynet Division. And..."
"Who else?"
"And...and the vice president of Tiangongyuan..."
…
Wow!
This time, Lu Chongqing couldn't bear it anymore.
He opened the study door.
"who is it?"
"Who did the Criminal Department arrest? Why did they mobilize so many troops?"
Lu Chongqing had just given the bribe to Eunuch Chi, and he could finally go about his own business.
For so many years, the Criminal Department has never been as lively as it is today.
"He is the descendant of Northern Eagle Flying General... I just returned to the imperial capital a few days ago..."
"The person who arrested him was Mr. Wu Heqian, and he was charged with harboring the fugitive Mu Zhihe... but..."
The subordinate glanced at the study to make sure his father-in-law couldn't hear, and hurriedly leaned into Lu Zhongqing's ear: "It should be that Mr. Wu Heqian has taken a fancy to a treasure belonging to the Northern Eagle Flying General. Others have captured it. In fact, there is no news about Mu Zhihe. !”
Being able to serve as Shangshu's staff and having extraordinary wisdom, he has already figured out the causes and consequences.
"who?"
Before Lu Zhongqing could reply, suddenly, there was an exclamation in the study.
Eunuch Chi walked out with a frown.
"Your criminal department... captured Flying General Bei Ying?"
Eunuch Chi asked again with a solemn expression.
He knew Northern Eagle Flying General, who was his good friend who was sworn to his eldest brother, Eunuch Han.
After Qi Qicheng came back, his eldest brother mentioned Northern Eagle Flying General several times.
Big brother's friends are my friends.
The eldest brother was outside, running around for the Holy Master. Before leaving, he specifically told himself that if General Bei Yingfei had any difficulties, he would help him.
"Eunuch Chi...you...know Flying General Northern Eagle?"
Lu Chongqing was stunned.
"That's one of our own...how do we know each other..."
…
"My lord...my lord...Princess Yujin has arrived at the Criminal Department...she said she wanted to see you..."
"My lord, my lord, it's not good...my lord, here we come again...another group of people are here..."
