Chapter 313: Catch ghosts (4)

"It's just that my sons are so good. Who will pass on my post of Taishi Ling in the future? It's really a headache."

Having too many wonderful sons doesn't seem to be a good thing, especially when your things can only be given to one person.

Master Zaifu didn't speak, just smiled. The sons of Taishi Ling's family were all very good. Of course he knew this. After thinking about it, Master Zaifu said, "Why don't you pass it on to the boss first, and then ask him not to marry and have children?" , then pass it on to your second son, and so on, to your youngest son?”

The position of Taishi Ling is hereditary, and logically speaking, it cannot be passed down from brother to brother. However, there are exceptions. When Taishi Ling has no heirs, he can be succeeded by his brothers. If there are no brothers, then Taishi Ling can only be re-elected. .

"Fuck you!"

Du Qian had a dark face and was very disgusted with the idea put forward by Lord Zaifu.

He asked with a dark face, "Are you going back yet?"

Master Zaifu shook his head, "I'm tired. It's boring to go back and listen to them curse."

Du Qian didn't say anything and just left with a dark face.

Close the door hard.

Master Zaifu looked at the door and laughed.

Then he turned and went back into the house.

A man in blue robes is waiting for him here.

Master Zaifu glanced at him and said nothing.

"If I remember correctly, you should have become an official during the reign of Zhi Ling."

The man in blue robe said, "The last reign of Lingzong lasted for eighteen years and trained many ministers who are now in the Liang Dynasty."

In the last years of his reign, Emperor Lingzong actually cared about the cultivation of talents. Originally, this was the most precious wealth he wanted to leave to the late prince. But later, when the prince died early, these wealth were left to the deposed emperor. , if there had not been that war, then the deposed emperor would have created a prosperous age for Daliang even if he could not be tough on Tongfang Wai and the demon clan with this group of famous ministers.

But the final results are often unexpected.

Emperor Liang raised an army and won the battle, but the imperial city was in flames. Afterwards, a large number of courtiers were unwilling to surrender, so many people died at home. On the jade steps in front of the Fengtian Palace, countless courtiers were killed. There, blood stained a large area of ​​jade, and it took a lot of time to clean it up.

At that time, most people in the government and the public believed that even if Emperor Liang took the throne, he would be helpless in facing the world. After all, the world cannot be governed by his generals.

But no one could have imagined that Emperor Liang would survive until the first imperial examination in the Tianjian period by relying on those courtiers who had surrendered, and then promoted some frustrated ministers who had not been reused before. After that, new famous ministers would spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Generally, they emerged and soon supported this huge dynasty.

The Lord Zaifu in front of me is one of those frustrated ministers.

Looking at this blue-robed man who had not changed much over the years, Lord Zaifu sighed, "Song Da

Man, the last time we met was probably when His Majesty Emperor Lingzong held a court meeting and announced that His Majesty would be the grandson of the Emperor? "

The man in blue robe did not speak, but looked at Lord Zaifu calmly.

Master Zaifu sighed and said, "In that year, the sun was at its peak, but I was just an idle minister. How could you remember me?"

The man in blue robe said, "Time is also destiny. If it hadn't been for that incident, you might have been just an idle official all your life. How could you be the leader of civil servants?"

Master Zaifu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Why don't you believe that as long as it is gold, it will shine?"

The man in blue robe shook his head and said, "Of course you are a good person, but when there were so many talented people, how many do you think are better than you?"

Lord Zaifu understood what the man in front of him meant and fell silent.

The man in blue robe said, "It's a good thing to be self-aware, but I don't know if you also remember the kindness of Emperor Lingzong."

"His Majesty is also the prince of Emperor Lingzong."

Master Zaifu sighed. He didn't say anything clearly, but he actually expressed his attitude.

"My uncle killed his nephew. If he can do such a thing, he is not worthy of being the prince of Emperor Lingzong, and he is not worthy of being of royal blood!" The man in blue robe looked at Lord Zaifu and spoke calmly.

Master Zaifu asked, "I am already in the position of Prime Minister. Even if I help you, what will I get?"

Everything in the world will change, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the word profit.

The man in blue robe said something.

Lord Zaifu laughed at himself, "It's really hard to refuse."

The man in blue robe waited for Master Zaifu's answer.

Master Zaifu said, "Sir Song, I have another question."

The man in blue robe raised his eyebrows.

"If His Majesty has died, then His Majesty's heirs will not be able to sit on the throne. If His Majesty is overthrown, will it be possible for you, Mr. Song, to sit on the throne?"

Lord Zaifu is talking about the fact that there are no descendants of the deposed emperor anymore.

The man in blue robe frowned and said, "How do you know that the late prince has no heirs and is still alive?"

After getting the list, Chen Chao did not hesitate and quickly returned to the Zuowei Yamen. He only had to arrange the arrests, but he might not necessarily do all the arrests himself.

Weng Quan took the list and glanced at it for a few times before he became nervous and asked in a low voice, "Commander Chen, are the names on this list really all ghosts?"

Chen Chao glanced at him and said, "I don't know. Anyway, if one of them is wrong and we catch the wrong one, it will be very troublesome."

Weng Quan was a little embarrassed, and then a little anxious, so he couldn't help but cursed, "The names above are all officials from the idle yamen, and several of them are also great scholars. If you arrest the wrong one, the whole world will be in chaos." Are you up?"

Chen Chao said, "That's true, but I trust the person who gave me the list."

"It's precisely because it's difficult for people like them to be discovered as ghosts, so I guess it's easy to find evidence in their houses, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

Chen Chao looked at Weng Quan with some sympathy and said, "But obviously, you will encounter a lot of trouble."

Weng Quan was puzzled and didn't understand what this meant.

Chen Chao said, "There are some people we can't deal with, and we can't do anything about them. If you're stupid, you will definitely suffer."

Weng Quan felt even more confused and looked at Chen Chao with a sad face, "Commander Chen, you clearly know that your subordinates have never read books, why are you still like this?"

Chen Chao snorted coldly, "It sounds like someone has read a book!"

After saying this, Chen Chao strode out of Zuowei Yamen.

Weng Quan helplessly called a Zuowei yamen official and said, "Let's start with Xie Xueshi's house."

The officer was startled and then asked, "Is that Bachelor Xie?"

Weng Quan cursed, "How could it be that Bachelor Xie? It's another one!"

The conversation between the two was a bit confusing, but the yamen officer breathed a sigh of relief, but then worriedly said, "That Bachelor Xie is also very troublesome. He once studied in the academy, and I heard that the dean was very fond of him." Praise, if something happens, it will be difficult to end."

There were two Xie scholars in the Liang Dynasty, and one of them was naturally from the Xie family. With Xie family behind him, it would be difficult to move, not to mention the current situation, if Xie family was involved, who knows how troublesome it would be.

But even if the other one has nothing to do with the Xie family, he is still one of the several great scholars in the court. He is highly respected and has studied in the academy in the early years. Nowadays, many of his friends are taught in the academy, and there are also many disciples in the court.

Weng Quan frowned and said, "This is not a discussion with you, but an order from the commander."

The yamen servant smiled bitterly and spoke, wanting to say something, but in the end, seeing Weng Quan's expression, he could only bow his head and accept the order.

"What are you afraid of? I will go with you. If something happens, we will die together."

Weng Quan sighed, thinking that if it were in the past, how would his turn have been affected by these things, that is, now he was regarded as a close confidant of the Chen Dynasty in Zuowei, but it gave him a headache to be treated as such a close confidant.

Zuo Wei's yamen quickly broke into a small house in the west of the city. This was not a prosperous area, so it was naturally not expensive. However, the reason why the owner of the house chose this place was probably not because the land here was cheap. Scholars liked the quietness. That's the obvious reason.

But the officials at left back are big

Most of them had never read a book and were just rough people, so without any hesitation, they came to the door and kicked the wooden door to pieces.

Following the broken wood chips and violent noises, Zuowei's government servants walked through the broken wooden door and the wind and snow to the small courtyard.

The old man who was warming himself by the fire and reading a book under the eaves suddenly stood up, looked at these menacing left-wing officials, and said angrily, "What are you going to do?!"

The old man was wearing a thick cotton coat. As he stood up, many sparks appeared in front of him instantly, some of which fell on his gray beard, and immediately there was a burning smell.

This thin old man was none other than Bachelor Xie, a great Confucian in the court.

Weng Quan walked in, looked at Scholar Xie, who was considered highly prestigious in the court, was silent for a moment, and said softly, "Search!"

His voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm.

After receiving the order, the government officials began to rush towards the few rooms.

Seeing this scene, Bachelor Xie didn't understand what was happening, so he looked at Weng Quan even more angrily, "Who are you? Is Zuo Wei so lawless now?!"

Weng Quan ignored him and just kept a cold face. In fact, even he was worried that if no evidence was found later, he would not only bear the bachelor's anger.

Academician Xie was usually very prestigious in the court. Even the Prime Minister wanted to speak to him in a nice and friendly manner. However, the group of people in front of him silently rushed in and started searching his house. This naturally made Academician Xie very angry, and Seeing that Weng Quan didn't speak, he pointed at Weng Quan and cursed tremblingly, "You bunch of vulgar warriors!"

Hearing these words, Weng Quan's face became a little ugly, and for no reason he thought of Chen Chao's scolding fight with the academy students at the Nanhu Lake.

Thinking of this, Weng Quan wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, Bachelor Xie's skinny body fell towards the snow for some unknown reason.

He also had an extremely angry expression on his face.

But there was no sparkle in those eyes anymore.

he died.

Life is gone and there is no way to save him.

Weng Quan's face became extremely ugly, and the government officials who were still searching stopped their movements.

Before coming, no one thought it would be like this.

Soon, a woman rushed out of the room. When she saw this scene, she screamed and burst into tears.

"Father!"

As the woman started crying, two other children also ran out. They were the two grandsons of Bachelor Xie.

The courtyard suddenly became noisy.

Before Weng Quan could react, there was even more noise outside the door.

What happened in this courtyard not only alarmed Feng Xue, but also the entire city of God.
