Li Xiandao: "Ran Zuyong! ”

"The sinners are here."

"It's good that you know that you're a sinner, and I'll allow you to make meritorious contributions. Now, read out the names of the more than 30 people one by one, and I will arrest them on the spot and try the case myself. ”

"Yes. The prince of Langya County is the same as Kyauk...... ...... of Hanyang King Zhang Khan Wang Jinghui of Pingyang...... Yuan Shuji, King of Nanyang...... Cui Xuan, King of Boling......"

As his subdued voice sounded, the guards in front of the palace, who had been prepared, stepped forward and arrested people according to the list.

It didn't take much effort, but he caught thirty-two people, and two more escaped the net.

The first one is Huan Yanfan, who has been cut to the people, of course he is not qualified to participate in Wu Zetian's funeral.

The second is Zhou Jing, the governor of Chang'an County. Zhou Jing is eligible to participate in Wu Zetian's funeral, but for Wu Zetian's funeral today, there must be people in the yamen? He is in charge of the security of Chang'an County.

Li Xiandao: "Then it's up to ......"

Out of this big mess, Li Xian looked around, but felt that the ministers were not credible, and finally sighed and said, "King Fuyang." ”

"Wechen is here!"

"I ordered you to go and ...... Huan Yanfan"

"Your Majesty, no!" Wu Sansi persuaded: "Although Cui Shangshu and Huan Yanfan have many conflicts, at the same time, Cui Shangshu also has a lot of collusion with Zhang Cambodia and others. Wechen was afraid of him...... It's going to kill people! ”

Zhang Cambodia and others were going to make trouble at Wu Zetian's funeral, but of course they wouldn't inform Cui Geng. However, if Cui Geng sympathizes with these people, it is really possible.

Li Xiandao: "Okay, then King Dejing will arrest Huan Yanfan, and Cui Shangshu will arrest Zhou Jing." ”

Zhou Jing is a small person, and if he dies, he will die, and he is not bad for such a confession.

"Yes!"

Wu Sansi took the order and left.

Cui Geng had no choice, so he also ordered three hundred Yulin troops and came to Chang'an County.

Although Cui Geng used to be Jing Zhaoyin, and the lieutenant of Chang'an County was his subordinate, Zhou Jing was newly transferred, and Cui Geng really didn't know him.

As soon as he entered the Chang'an County Ya, Cui Geng met a green-robed petty official.

He immediately asked, "Are you Zhou Jing, the county lieutenant of Chang'an?" ”

"No...... The lower official is not Zhou Jing, I am Chang'an Changshi Ma Songpo! ”

"Are you Masongpo? Where's Zhou Jing? ”

"Uh...... He's in the signing room, and as soon as you enter, you'll see him. ”

"Okay, lead the way!"

"I'm sorry, I can't bring it." The petty official clenched his stomach and said pitifully: "The lower official has eaten something bad and is in a hurry to go to the thatched house." You don't want a little one to pull in your pants, do you? ”

Cui Geng waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go!" ”

The petty official rushed away, Cui Geng continued to come to the signing room, and sure enough, he saw a green-robed official crouching on a few cases and writing hard.

Cui He stretched out his hand and said, "Grab it!" ”

"Whoa!"

Several Yulin sergeants stepped forward, wiped their shoulders and put their arms together, and tied this one up.

The man struggled in a panic and said, "This official is not greedy, and he is not bending the law, you ...... Why are you arresting me? ”

"Hmph, Zhou Jing, the case of your rebellion has been released, hurry up and go with this official!"

"Rebellion? Zhou Jing? The man shook his head like a rattle and said, "I...... I'm not Zhou Jing, I'm Changshi Ma Songpo of Chang'an County! ”

"What? Another Masongpo? Who is that person that the official saw just now? ”

"The guy you just met, but he's stocky and has two mustaches?"

"Ah, yes!"

"He is Zhou Jing! If you want to catch Zhou Jing, hurry up and catch it! ”

In fact, Cui Geng's official son who has been in office for so many years is now well-informed, how can he be deceived by Zhou Jing's little trick just now? It's just to do everything in your power to give Zhou Jing a chance to escape.

He frowned and said, "You said that you are the chief Shi Ma Songpo of Chang'an County, is there any evidence?" ”

"What kind of evidence do you need for this, if you don't believe it, you can ask the officials of the Chang'an County Ya."

"That's right."

Cui Geng found a few officials, and even Chang'an County Commander identified and confirmed that this was Ma Songpo.

Then, he slapped his head sharply and said, "Hunting geese all day long has blinded the geese, and the big rivers and waves have sailed over, but the boat capsized in the small river ditch." I didn't expect this official to be wise and wise, but he was deceived by Zhou Jing! ”

Ma Songpo next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes, and secretly slandered: "Pretend!" You go on! Okay, that's a set of words. I'm really anxious, I have that idle time, you quickly send someone to arrest someone! ”

Of course, no matter how much Cui Geng delays, he can only do this step in full view.

He ordered: "Your Chang'an County Ya selects a few people who know Zhou Jing, and take Ben Shangshu's men to take people." Remember, Gyeonggi is a heavy land, and it is safe to go up, and don't make the chickens fly and the dogs jump because of a small Zhou Jing, and the nobles are uneasy. ”

"Whoa!" The people took the command and departed.

Cui Geng was waiting in the Ya of Chang'an County, praying for a miracle.

However, although Zhou Jing is the lieutenant of Chang'an County, he is a civil official, and he can't bear the burden on his shoulders and can't lift the blue. In less than half an hour, someone came to report and said, "Qi Cui Shangshu, I found that the traitor Zhou Jing has arrived." ”

"I found out, why don't you arrest him quickly!"

"The problem is that it is difficult to grasp...... the sergeant said with a bitter face, "He was in a panic, and was driven into a small temple by his brothers and surrounded by him. Finally, he put the knife across his neck and said that he had to see you, or else...... That's it. The little ones don't dare to act without permission, so they come to consult Cui Shangshu! ”

"That's ......," Cui Geng said, "Lead the way in front of the head." ”

Under the guidance of Sergeant Na Yulin, Cui Geng went to a small temple.

The small temple is not big, just a small courtyard, and it is surrounded by Sergeant Yulin and cannot be pierced by a needle, and the water cannot be drained.

Cui Geng stepped into the main hall, and saw Zhou Jing holding a bull-eared sharp knife across his neck.

However, he was looking at the statue in the middle at this time, and it wasn't until Cui Geng got close that he turned around abruptly and said, "Don't go any further!" One step further, and so-and-so will kill himself here! ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "Let's open the skylight and say something bright, Zhou Jing, so far, do you still want to live?" ”

Zhou Jing didn't answer him directly, tilted his head, and said, "You are Master Cui Gengcui, right?" ”

"Yes, it's the official."

"Cheng, although we have different philosophies, I admit that you are a good official who is diligent and loves the people. Before I die, if I can see me off with you, Zhou will not be in vain. ”

After a pause, he let out a long sigh and continued, "Master Cui, do you know what kind of place this is? ”

Before Cui Genglin came in, he really didn't pay attention to the plaque of this small temple, and said, "I don't know." ”

"It's okay if you don't know, I'll tell you! This small temple is called Bigan Temple. According to legend, Bigan was killed by disembowelment because he was disemboweled, so he was called the first loyal minister of the ages. Before someone Zhou died, he fled here by mistake, could it be providence? ”

Cui Geng said vaguely: "Maybe." ”

"Cui Shangshu thinks the same way?" Zhou Jing's eyes lit up, and he said: "The reason why someone Zhou came to you is not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he trusts your character, and wants you to help me pass a word to Your Majesty!" ”

"What?"
