made up his mind to be the king of the blue sky, so he immediately put his face up, looked at Lu Benzhi and asked, "Are you really Lu Yanei?" ”

"Xia, Xiaguan is indeed Lu Benzhi, the son of Taifu Siqing."

Wang Mo didn't look at Lu Jia, who was looking at his son with a blue face, and continued to ask: "You brought someone to set this fire?" ”

"No, no, it's not me, it's all set by the people below, I didn't tell them to set it on fire......"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiawen's face was so blue that it was almost black. What do you mean that they are all put by the people below? Can you speak, a rebel? Doesn't this mean that it is the people of Taifu Siqing who are setting the fire?

"The people below are all soldiers of Taifu Temple?" Wang Mo didn't let go of Lu Benzhi, and asked again.

"yes......"

"Bastard!"

Before Lu Benzhi's words were finished, Lu Jiawen had already jumped up. Now what Lu Benzhi said is all evidence in court! Wang Mo will write a recital today and hand it over, and then he can't deny it.

"Look!" Wang Mo turned his head to look at Lu Jia, whose face was covered with beads of sweat, and asked, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely be investigated!" ”

After speaking, Wang Mo continued to ask: "Lu Yanei, those who set fire to the soldiers of Taifu Temple?" ”

"Yes......" Lu Benzhi was also confused, "But I really didn't let them set fire, I just led them to rush in through the back door of the camp in the north of the state, and who knew that it would burn......"

Lu Jiawen's body shook on the horse's back, and he was about to faint! His son is too bad at speaking, and he could have denied it, but he himself admitted it.

Now the Taifu Temple soldiers set fire to the military camp in the north of the state, I'm afraid they can't rely on it! I can only put the blame on the soldiers below.

"Have you ever caught the soldiers who set the fire?" Wang Mo asked.

"I haven't caught it," replied the commander of the Hidden Fire Army, "There are no soldiers from Taifu Temple in the military camp in the north of the state, only the people and the Hidden Fire Army who are struggling to put out the fire." ”

The arsonists ran away...... Just catch a Lu Benzhi!

Wang Mo asked, "Lu Yanei, do you recognize those box soldiers who set fire?" ”

There are ghosts that can be recognized!

"I don't recognize ......," Lu Benzhi said with a sad face.

"Can anyone recognize them?" Wang Mo asked again.

Lu Jiawen hurriedly called a few commanders of the van soldiers to him, and asked with a dark face: "Do you know who followed Wu'er to the back door of the North Chongzhou Military Camp?" ”

"I don't know."

"Xiao Di didn't know that Yanai took the soldiers to attack the back door of the northern military camp in Zhoubei."

"Yes, the little bottoms are the commanders, and if you want to attack the back door of the northern military camp, it should be the little bottoms who will lead the troops."

"The little bottoms were not ordered...... Brethren, who among you knows this? ”

"I don't know, we don't know!"

"We don't know when Lu Yanei brought the troops, we are all protecting Master Lu......"

"We didn't see Lu Yanei transfer troops......"

Well, these soldiers are all fine!

Not only did they not admit that they had set the fire, but they even denied that there were soldiers who followed Lu Benzhi to set fire. There's no such thing at all! The soldiers of Taifu Temple did not set fire to it at all, nor did they rush through the back door of the military camp in the north of the state.

Lu Jiawen sighed in his heart, when it comes to reading and making articles, his youngest son is also outstanding, but when it comes to treacherous and cunning, he really can't compare to this group of soldiers who are fighting in Kaifeng Mansion.

What people say is that it doesn't leak! If your own stupid son is half shrewd, this lawsuit will still be fought!

Wang Mo is also an old fox who has been up and down in officialdom for decades, he was a jinshi at the age of 23, and he has been an official in 66 or 43 years this year, and he has been an official in the local area most of the time.

didn't ask anymore at the moment, but just ordered the commander of the Hidden Fire Army: "And hand over Lu Yanei to Master Lu, and then take someone to fight the fire again." After fighting the fire, the casualties and losses were immediately counted, and then the residents in the military camp in the north of the state were taken to the Kaifeng Mansion. ”

Lu Jiawen and Lu Benzhi are both officials, and it should be asked by Yushitai. However, this does not mean that Kaifeng Mansion will be fine, and the arson case of the military camp in the north of the state still has to be managed. And the people living in the barracks are naturally witnesses, and they have to be monitored at the first time.

In addition, how many burns to kill, how many burns, and how much to lose, all need to be investigated.

"Master Lu." After instructing his subordinates, Wang Ji asked Lu Jia again and said, "These soldiers of yours are also witnesses, can you let them go back to Kaifeng Mansion with their subordinates?" ”

Of course Lu Jia asked that he didn't want to hand them over, and as soon as they handed them over, he couldn't interfere. But what about bringing people back to the Yamen of Taifu Temple? At the latest, tomorrow there will be the imperial history "Luzhang impeachment" (that is, the impeachment of the impeachment is copied to the political affairs hall), and then he will have to listen to the consultation behind closed doors.

These personal elite soldiers, will they still not know the rules?

Thinking of this, Lu Jiawen could only sigh: "That's fine, let them go with Brother Mingsuo......

……

Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Palace.

Zhao Ji already knew at this time that the camp in the north of the state was burned!

How could he not know? On the way to the Chongzheng Hall when he came out of the Wende Hall where the "Standing Quarter" was held, he saw thick smoke rising high. When he just walked into the Chongzheng Palace, the report of the Imperial City Division was delivered, saying that the camp in the northern part of the state was caused by a fire caused by the conflict of the Taifu Temple!

Demolition of the house also demolished the fire! How did this Lu Jia ask how to do things? However, this matter has just gotten up, and it has not been investigated, so Zhao Ji is not easy to say. I had to pinch my nose to discuss national affairs first, but in fact, it was not a big deal, it was a matter of piloting government soldiers in Lantian County, Jingzhao Prefecture.

It is rare for the new party and the old party to reach a consensus on this issue, and they have all agreed to try it out in Lantian. and also launched their respective candidates, and they are all acquaintances of Zhao Ji.

The old party recommended Han Zhongyan's son-in-law Wu Haowen to take power and send Lantian County affairs - although Wu Haowen was only 19 years old and had little experience in local positions, his teacher Hou Zhongliang was a member of Guanxue and Luoxue, and had a close relationship with Lu Yishan of the Lantian Lu family (also a member of Guanxue and Luoxue).

Isn't the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty gradually established by Yuwentai's old capital after losing all his money in the Battle of Bishan, he had to absorb Guan Longhao's township soldiers to join the army? Although this kind of government soldiers controlled by Guan Longhao's right is by no means what the Great Song Dynasty wants, but the establishment of the government military system is also inseparable from the support of the landlords. Therefore, Wu Haowen's mentor's relationship in Jingzhao Mansion is still very useful.

In addition, Wu Haowen's elder brother Wu Haogu has both financial resources and methods, which can give Wu Haowen considerable help.

The New Party introduced Ji Yi to serve as the military officer of Baojia Township, Jingzhao Prefecture, and worked with Wu Haowen to implement the government military system in Lantian.

Ji Yi's ability is also obvious, although he is not as good as Wu Haogu who can make money, but he is a civil official from Jinshi, and he is also the first in the provincial examination! For those "landlord class intellectuals" in Jingzhao Mansion, Ji Yi's background can convince the public.

In addition, Ji Yi is Zhang Dan's grandson-in-law, and Zhang Dian and Zhang Qi are very influential in the Western Army. Let Ji Yi go to Jingzhao Mansion, it is also easy to appease the warriors there.

Therefore, these two candidates Zhao Ji are very satisfied, and now there is only one Zhijing Zhaofu who can take charge of the general principles.

Because the two people below are new and old, they are both with backgrounds and abilities, and now there is a high-ranking official who is not strong in party color, but can be convinced by the scholars of Jingzhao Mansion to serve as the prefect.

Just when Zhao Ji wanted to discuss with the ministers the candidates for the affairs of the Jingzhao Mansion, there was a person from the Gate Division outside to report: "Your Majesty, the right to know that the Kaifeng Mansion Wang Ji has something important to report, and he is waiting to see him outside the palace." ”

"Call him in." Zhao Ji knew that Wang Ji must have come to report the fire in the military camp in the north of the state.

The fire is not a trivial matter in Kaifeng Mansion, and it must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible.

After a while, trotting all the way, Wang Daqingtian, who was tired and panting, stood in the Chongzheng Hall and gasped.

"Give a seat."

Zhao Ji looked at this rickety old man and felt pitiful, he still had to come out to be an official at such an old age, and he didn't know how many years he had to live, so he immediately ordered the inner servant of the Imperial Medicine Institute in the Chongzheng Palace to move a stool and let Wang Ji sit down and reply.

"Your Majesty, the open fire in the camp in the northern part of the state has been extinguished, a total of forty-eight houses with a total of two hundred and seventy-nine houses have been burned, fifty-seven people have been injured in the fire, and two people have been killed by the fire!"

It's a bit hard to control when it burns...... Although Zhou Tong's father and daughter did not want to cause casualties, 57 people were still injured to varying degrees, but the two dead were "faked". It was not a fake dead man, but a "fresh" corpse that Zhou Tong's apprentice had found from a mass grave outside the city, and it was charred in a house poured with fire oil.

"How did the fire start?" Zhao Ji asked with a frown.

"Someone set it on fire!"

"Arson?" Zhao Ji asked, "Who?" ”

Wang Mo replied: "Judging from the current situation, it was Lu Benzhi, the son of Lu Jiawen, the secretary of Taifu Temple, who led people to set the fire......

"Lu Jia asked his son to set it on fire?" Zhao Ji couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Wang Ji with beads in his eyes, "Is there any evidence?" ”

The ministers who were discussing in the Chongzheng Hall were also stunned, this matter was incredible, the dignified Taifu Siqing actually asked his son to take someone to Kaifeng Mansion to set fire! Lawlessness to this extent is also the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Mo nodded: "Lu Benzhi was caught red-handed, and when the minister took people to fight the fire, he also inquired in front of Lu Jiawen, and Lu Benzhi admitted that it was the soldiers he led who set fire to the military camp in the north of the state. ”

Zeng Bu, An Tao, and Jiang Zhiqi who were present at this time all opened their mouths wide and didn't know what to say? Although Wang Mo is a person in the old party camp, he is not the core, and he has always acted fairly, and he has the name of Wang Qingtian, so it is impossible to frame Lu Jiawen and Lu Benzhi father and son.

Zhao Ji was still a little unconvinced, and when he was about to inquire further, a low drum beat came from somewhere.

"Your Majesty," Wang Mo said with a wry smile, "this is the bitter lord of the military camp in the north of the state beating the drum, and they are about to sue the emperor." ”
