Chapter 418 Ugliness exposed
Luozhou prefecture.
Inspector Cao Ke seemed calm, but in fact he asked lazily: "Xu Jingzong and Jia Pingan led Baiqi to investigate the matter of Zuo Tunwei in Luoyang City. Who is in contact?"
Li Yingchi smiled and said, "Master, this matter is due to the contact of the subordinate officials."
Cao Ke glanced at him with seemingly cloudy eyes, "Xu Shangshu is His Majesty's confidant, highly respected, you are responsible for contacting, don't neglect, otherwise the old man will only seek your guilt."
This is a blame game, but Li Yingchi dared not refuse to accept it, otherwise Cao Ke would be able to use his identity as a Shangguan to suppress him.
Old thing, there is no other skill except throwing blame... Li Yingzhi smiled and said: "Yes."
The Shangguan ordered you not to contradict, even if it is unfair, you have to endure it and use other methods to resist.
Cao Ke hummed, as if he was very satisfied with his attitude, coughed dryly, and spoke in a sputum voice, "Also, Baiqi came to investigate the matter of Zuo Tunwei, you should also help, don't make trouble .”
It's shameless to even leave Baiqi's matter on his head... Li Yingchi still smiled and said: "Don't worry."
Later, he returned to the duty room, closed the door with his backhand, and cursed in a low voice: "Old dog, sooner or later, I will let you go!"
He picked up a document, went to the window and looked carefully.
"Where is the envoy?"
Someone came in a hurry outside.
A small official said casually: "The envoy was still in the room on duty just now, so it's just right for you to go now. Hey! What happened to you? You look excited."
"Uncle Wu Yang rushed into Shanglinfang with people, and offered a reward of 50,000 yuan to find Wu Huan, as well as the missing Baiqi."
Li Yingzhi's body shook, and he couldn't help opening some windows, looking at the little official outside through the gap.
The little official said excitedly: "Fifty thousand! What do you think will happen?"
Another petty official also clicked his tongue, "Even my heart is moved. Is there still time to go now? I will also go and search for it. If I find Wu Huan, then why are you still a petty official? Why don't you go home and become a rich man?" Isn't it better?"
The little official covered his forehead, "I wanted to too, but it was too late."
"Hey! Did you find it?"
"It's not that I found it. You never thought that Wu Huan came out by himself. He said that if he came out, the reward should be given to him. He also brought the missing Baiqi with him, tsk tsk! In the end, Uncle Wuyang said that the Baiqi He was the one who captured him, so he can only give half of it, so that's thirty-five thousand dollars..."
"Get Rich!"
"Yes! He said it himself, even if he is exiled, it is worth it."
"Go and find the envoy, maybe you can still be praised."
As soon as the hand was released, the document fell to the ground with a slight pop.
Li Yingzhi's face was stiff, his whole body was cold, and his body began to tremble.
"The old man must run."
He turned around and rushed to the place where the paperwork was placed, rummaged through the box, found two pieces of silver, looked at the copper coins in the money bag, opened the door and went out.
When he got to the gate, the door smiled flatteringly and said, "Biejia Li is going out?"
Li Yingzhi stopped and said with a smile: "There are some things at home, I'll go back and have a look."
Menzi watched him go out, and said in amazement: "In the past, Li Biejia would not even pay attention to greetings, but at most he would puff out his nostrils, but today he not only laughed, but also talked...weird!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yingchi came in in a hurry, but within a short while, he was sweating profusely.
"It's not so hot today, is it?" Menzi looked up at the sky, thinking that even if he went out to bask in the sun for a while, he wouldn't be sweating profusely.
Li Yingzhi turned around while running, looking panicked.
Menzi was puzzled, so he went out to take a look.
"Is there a tiger outside here?"
There are no tigers outside, but a group of hundreds of horsemen came.
Jia Pingan took the lead and was surrounded by people.
Dismounting outside the gate, Jia Pingan asked, "Is Li Yingji here?"
The subordinate staff at the bottom level were the most cunning, and when the door heard that they didn't ask Li Biejia, but called him by his first name, it was probably an accident.
It’s not a big deal to watch the excitement, Menzi enthusiastically pointed inside and said: "Li Bie drove out before, and turned around and ran back as soon as he went out. He looked back while running, as if he had seen a ghost."
Wonderful!
This is self-inflicted!
Menzi made a contribution.
Jia Pingan patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Mr. Xu is here?"
Bao Dong said: "Xu Gong will be there soon."
"Tell Mr. Xu that Menzi has meritorious service."
Menzi trembled, "Don't dare."
"Worried about being retaliated against?" Jia Pingan said casually, "Give me a reward like this."
"Thank you Uncle Wuyang."
Menzi's face is smiling like blossoming.
If he is rewarded, at most he can be a knife and pen official, but Luozhou officials will immediately know what he has done, no matter which side they stand on, they will not spare him.
But rewards are different. Give some money quietly, and use it quietly, how cool.
"I even know what I think, and success is never a fluke."
Jia Pingan has experienced many things in his previous life, so he can clearly understand the thoughts and concerns of these subordinate staff.
Ming Jing followed behind, feeling more and more that she still had a lot to learn.
Entering the back, some officials looked at them in surprise.
"Where is Li Yingzhi?"
Jia Ping'an pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and stared blankly.
Since arriving in Luoyang, Luozhou officials have been adopting a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, making it difficult for Baiqi to move forward.
Now that Li Yingchi is involved in the case, Jia Pingan really wants to see the faces of these people.
An official said coldly: "That's Li Biejia!"
Menzi could guess what Li Yingji was doing from Jia Pingan's address to Li Yingji, but this person couldn't tell that it wasn't an IQ problem, but an attitude.
Luoyang is not far from Chang'an. Since the Sui Dynasty, once the food in Chang'an was not enough, the emperor would bring his family and long-term workers to Luoyang to eat. This also made Luoyang officials feel that being an official here is different.
Changan sent a group of dogs (hundred riders), which aroused the collective resistance of Luoyang officials. Especially when Xu Jingzong was there, it was even more disgusting.
Jia Pingan stepped forward and squinted at him, "Where is Li Yingchi?"
The official poked his neck, "You should call him Li..."
Snapped!
The official covered his face and said in disbelief, "You...you dare to do it?"
Snapped!
Jia Ping'an slapped his backhand again.
The official stared, "Come on! Come on! Baiqi is fierce!"
Ming Jing whispered, "This person is Li Yingzhi's confidant."
No wonder the attitude is so bad!
Jia Pingan listened sideways, kicked the official over, "Take it!"
Two hundred riders rushed over, Jia Pingan glanced at another official, "Where is Li Yingchi?"
The official pointed to the guard on the side.
Count you smart!
Cao Ke, governor of Luozhou, came out and coughed dryly, "Why?"
This person's inaction greatly reduced Baiqi's efficiency!
Jia Ping turned around and looked at him, "Baiqi came to Luoyang this time, Luozhou has helped Baiqi a lot, and Jia will report the truth when he returns to Chang'an."
He held his head up slightly, with a haughty look on his face.
"Envoy!"
The controlled official cried out, "This official is not at fault."
It’s okay to throw blame on weekdays, but you have to be able to protect your subordinates at critical moments, otherwise who will mess with you?
Cao Ke's cloudy eyes became more serious, "Get out!"
"Who?" Jia Ping'an was overjoyed.
Cao Keji pointed at Jia Pingan, "Get lost!"
This sound of rolling was hearty, and all the officials present were delighted.
The sect who followed secretly was winking at Cao Ke...
Emissary, something happened to Li Yingchi, bow your head quickly!
Li Yingzhi had an accident. As the governor, Cao Ke could not escape joint responsibility. The tougher he is at this time, the more severe he will be dealt with afterwards.
But Cao Ke's eyes are not very good...
Jia Pingan laughed and said, "The governor of Luozhou told me to get out... Baodong!"
Bao Dong pressed his knife and stepped forward, shouting: "The next official is here!"
Jia Ping'an's smile changed slightly, "Slam the door!"
"Take orders!"
Bao Dong rushed forward and kicked open the door of the duty room.
In the duty room, a rope had just been hung on the beam, and Li Yingzhi stood on the stool to tie the noose.
Hearing the sound, he looked up.
"Back off!"
Jia Pingan took a step forward, while Bao Dong stepped back.
Shouldn't they come to get me? Shouldn't it be a vicious person who knocked me down to the ground?
Li Yingzhi held the rope, not knowing what to do.
Jia Pingan said lightly: "Hurry up."
Hurry what? Noose?
Ming Jing was stunned, "He is dead, you are guilty."
"If he really wants to commit suicide, he won't shake like this."
Li Yingchi was trembling all over his body, his hands were constantly moving, but the noose could not be played well. Finally, his feet slipped and he fell off the stool, crying on his stomach, "I don't want to! What they asked the old man to do was they asked the old man and Chang Dai to contact those Zhechong mansions..."
"Let him explain the people involved in the case clearly, and arrest them immediately!"
Jia Ping'an turned around, Cao Ke looked ugly.
You intentionally slandered the old man... His eyes were instantly cold, "Uncle Wuyang just dug a hole and just waited for the old man to jump?"
"What did you do in Luozhou this time, wait until you know for yourself, Xu Shangshu will arrive soon, and the rest has nothing to do with Baiqi, I hope you are lucky."
"Xiao Jia!"
Xu Jingzong is here.
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, don't drive in Luozhou. Li Yingji confessed his crime of colluding with Chang Dai, and I will leave the rest to you."
What?
Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up, and his sharp nature broke out, "Mr. Cao, the old man came the day before yesterday and you excused yourself not to see him. Are you protecting Li Yingzhi?"
"You're spitting blood!"
"That's how I see it!" Xu Jingzong quickly replaced the character, and shouted: "Your Majesty ordered this old man to come here to investigate Luozhou officials, Cao Ke, I think you are behind this matter!"
Xu Jingzong, you are avenging your personal revenge... Cao Ke's expression changed quickly, and he laughed and said: "This matter... please invite Xu Shangshu into the room to talk."
He thought that Xu Jingzong was greedy for this kind of vanity, but he didn't know that the old Xu had entered the mode of being an upright official at this moment, and he sternly shouted, "There is nothing wrong with telling people! I want to bribe the old man... the old man is upright and has a clean sleeve, just for His Majesty, just for your sake." The people of the world speak. Cao Ke, if you have anything to say, just say it in public."
What a just and awe-inspiring Xu Jingzong.
Jia Ping'an left the prefecture and ordered: "Take people according to the roster, but anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"
Baiqi was dispatched.
Monk Chen quietly appeared, "Uncle Wuyang, the brothers found out that someone was watching you earlier."
Jia Pingan nodded, "Understood, let your brothers withdraw."
"Don't need to keep staring?" Monk Chen said with a rebellious face: "Those brothers are not bad, even if they fight, they can kill them."
"Those are not ordinary people."
Jia Ping'an rejected Monk Chen's kindness, and then a group of people cruised around to help take people.
"Uncle Wuyang, the arrests went well everywhere, but the brother who went to Zhechong Mansion in Cangcheng encountered an ambush, two of them were seriously injured, and one of them was killed."
"Take care of the brothers."
Jia Pingan knew that those people had come.
"But those men in black?" Ming Jing was eager to try.
Jia Pingan nodded, "They have always wanted to intervene in this matter, but Baiqi suddenly offered a reward in Shanglinfang, which caught them off guard. The action now is more like venting anger."
Ming Jing was a little taken aback.
When Bao Dong came back later, Ming Jing called him in for questioning.
"Is it intentional to offer a reward in Shanglinfang?"
Bao Dong nodded, "Uncle Wu Yang has planned for a long time."
That **** actually had such a plan...Ming Jing was a little dissatisfied, "Could it be that he did it on purpose because he didn't do anything earlier?"
Bao Dong said in amazement: "Mingzhong officials have sharp eyes! Uncle Wu Yang didn't offer a reward to find Wu Huan in the early stage, because he didn't want to alarm those men in black. He just waited for the news to be confirmed and did not give them a chance to intervene."
"It turns out he was just being lazy?"
Jia Ping'an seemed very lazy in the first few days, not like he was here for business, but more like a vacation.
Bao Dong was full of black lines, "Uncle Wuyang has been planning these things. The planning is done in the early stage, everything is ready, and then the action is like thunder... This is Uncle Wuyang's method."
It turned out that I made a mistake... Ming Jing looked at Jia Pingan in front of her, "Then what should we do this time?"
Everywhere quickly took people, Jia Pingan found Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong immediately ordered the Luoyang garrison to dispatch in the name of the Minister of Rites to **** hundreds of horses from various places.
…
"Na Jia Ping'an was cunning and dispatched the army."
Somewhere in Luoyang, more than ten men were discussing matters in the room.
The man at the head looked calm, "Li Yingzhi was arrested, this matter is no longer possible, the news from Chang'an has been sent back, and everything that should be cleared should be cleared."
A man below asked: "Wang Jia, what are we still doing here?"
The man squinted his eyes and clenched his fists, "The emperor suddenly ordered Baiqi to come to Luoyang, and the people above were arguing endlessly, so that I waited two days late. If it wasn't for this, how could I be so passive? At this moment, the whole thing is done. If we wait and go back in despair..."
"I have been waiting for the world for many years, how have I ever suffered such a disadvantage?" Another man said angrily: "If those people were not decisive enough, how could this happen?"
"Shut up!" Wang Jia stopped the man, got up and said, "Those people left some manpower in Luoyang, and now those people are panic-stricken. I naturally have a plan to summon them."
…
The rest of the matter was very fast, Xu Jingzong was roaring, everyone in Luozhou was doing things crazily with the mentality of committing crimes and meritorious service, and the information gathered from various places was quick and accurate.
"Sure enough, people are cheap!"
Xu Jingzong looked at a box of documents, and said complacently: "Xiao Jia, this time you have completed your merits and virtues, right?"
Of course not, those men in black haven't bubbled yet. But Jia Pingan knew Lao Xu's greedy nature and fear of death, so he concealed this guess.
"Ready to go back."
Hundreds of riders gathered quickly, and the criminals were counted and loaded into vehicles, and then set off.
More than fifty hundred riders were protecting the convoy, and then they left Luoyang City.
Monk Chen stood by the car door and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this journey will be unsafe!"
…
Arrived in Xin'an smoothly on the second day.
"No problem."
Bao Dong brought people to and fro to inspect constantly.
"It's still early."
Then the road gradually became rugged, and when we arrived at Xiashi, Sanmenxia came into view.
The water flow is fast, and the strange rocks in the river protrude from the water, which makes people dizzy.
"When the food arrives in Luoyang, it will be sent to Chang'an along this river."
Xu Jingzong's eyes became a little more awed, "Many ships are stranded and overturned every year, and they still have to be transported. But when the water is dry, they can only stop. The food from all over the country is stopped in Luoyang, so from the former Sui Dynasty, Whenever there is a shortage of food, the emperor will take people from Chang'an to Luoyang to eat."
"Isn't it just to beg for food?"
Jia Pingan said casually. He was looking at both sides.
The mountains on both sides of the bank here are steep, if the ambush is hidden here...
"Respect." Xu Jingzong said with a straight face: "That is the emperor, what is begging?"
"There is no food in Chang'an. Either find a convenient way to transport food, or that place cannot exist as a capital."
This is a historical necessity, the only way is to build a road, a road.
But it's unlikely at the moment.
"Chang'an has the air of a king!"
Xu Jingzong began to recite some words and phrases praising Chang'an.
Jia Pingan was indifferent after hearing this.
Ming Jing praised: "Xu Shangshu is really talented."
Of course Lao Xu is talented, otherwise he wouldn't have been promoted all the way.
Suddenly, there was a sound of beeping in front of him.
"Enemy attack!"
In an instant, Xu Jingzong's face turned pale, "Xiao Jia, whose enemy is this?"
"Those ground mice are here." Jia Pingan drew his knife, glanced at the people behind him, "Protect criminals."
A rider in front turned around and shouted: "Uncle Wuyang, there are dozens of thieves, all of whom have horses and weapons."
"Go and see!"
Jia Pingan led the people forward, and met Baodong who was withdrawing halfway.
"Forty or so people looked fierce, but they didn't fight each other."
Bao Dong chose a cautious approach according to Jia Ping'an's explanation.
Jia Ping'an has already seen those thieves.
Dozens of people are riding horses and galloping, and their weapons are mainly horizontal knives.
"Is this for death?"
Just one glance, Jia Pingan concluded that it was not the man in black.
"The bow and arrow are ready."
Hundred Cavalry is also a regular army style, everyone has bows and arrows.
The opponent keeps approaching.
"Twenty steps... shoot the arrow!"
According to the military drill code, start to release arrows at 20 steps.
A wave of arrows shot down more than ten people, and then drew their swords.
Jia Ping'an broke the horse and was the first to kill it.
"That's Jia Ping'an! Kill him, for the first time!"
Suddenly those thieves became excited.
The first thief swung his knife impatiently.
clang!
Jia Pingan rushed over, and the thief's chest spurted blood, and fell heavily to the ground.
As soon as the second thief made contact, he found himself facing an old ghost with superb sword skills.
A wrong body, the thief falls.
Jia Ping'an stabbed him head-on, and the thief blocked him. When he turned around, Jia Pingan easily dragged him down.
The thief just wanted to get up, and the follow-up hundred riders drove the horses to stampede.
"ah!"
Amidst the screams, Jia Pingan rushed forward alone, until the thief who yelled to kill Jia Ping'an.
The thief never expected Jia Ping'an's fight to be so sharp, and shouted: "Help me!"
The horizontal knife swung across.
The heads of the thieves flew up, and Jia Pingan turned around on his horse.
The rear of the convoy has seen smoke.
"Sure enough, this is a slap in the face!"
Jia Ping'an shouted: "Come back with me!"
Most of these thieves were killed by a wave of rushing, and the rest ran around in a panic. Some people fell into the river beach, and they fell down, and were immediately washed down by the current.
Someone was rushing up the hillside, halfway was too steep, and fell backwards.
It really is a tiger with a hundred horses... Ming Jing praised: "It really is me with a hundred horses!"
…
Ask for votes.
