Cyber Daming

"Okay, I know about this matter and I will handle it in a moment."

Pei Xingjian stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and waved his hand towards the group of royal guards. "As for you, go back to where you came from."

"But remember to tell your boss something when you go back. This time, the Confucian people were too stupid and fell into the trap without knowing it. I won't argue with him."

"Okay, if you Jin Yiwei still dare to attack the Confucian people," Pei Xingjian frowned, "then don't blame me for beating up the drowned dog and not giving these bastards a piece of tile to cover their heads."

A seventh-grade county magistrate sternly rebuked Jinyiwei and even threatened to expel him from his jurisdiction.

This scene is so bizarre, but the expressions of everyone present are as if they should be taken for granted.

In the old man's opinion, the so-called Jinyiwei are just a group of defeated generals.

If the new emperor hadn't interceded for them back then, they would have been uprooted and eradicated long ago.

Now he actually dares to interfere in Confucian affairs, which is completely overestimating his own capabilities.

In the dead silence of the hall, the guards wearing straw sandals still stood there, motionless.

Pei Xingjian's gray eyebrows raised slightly, "What, why don't you get out?"

The leading Jin Yiwei man took a deep breath, silently took out a piece of golden wood from his arms, and held it in front of him.

There were no dazzling lights or shadows, nor any terrifying movements.

What the man held up in his hand was an ordinary piece of wood.

But the pupils in Pei Xingjian's eyes suddenly shrank, and Zhang Xian even exclaimed: "Yimu?!"

Shang Yang, the ancestor of Legalism, once moved to establish trust in trees, win the trust of the people, and implement the New Deal.

Followers of the Legalist order in later generations followed suit one after another and took the migrating wood as their own token.

Now that the Jin Yiwei took out the moving wood, the meaning behind it was very clear.

Their actions this time were supervised by the Legalist Censor!

Pei Xingjian's expression became more solemn, and a touch of uneasiness spread in his heart.

Although the Confucian New Donglin Party now occupies absolute dominance in the temple, the Legalists still firmly control the Yushitai because of the existence of the Ming Law.

Moreover, during the ‘Da Chao Debate’ that year, the Legalists were tricked once by the New Donglin Party.

So these years, Legalist censors stared at Confucian officials all day long, always trying to find something to do with them.

Now that these crazy dogs are getting together with Jin Yiwei again, are they trying to cause some trouble again?

"Today we must take away the prisoners Feng Huang and Gu Xi. Please forgive me, Magistrate Pei."

The leading man's voice was hoarse, as if his throat was burned out by the suppressed anger in his heart.

The development of the situation to this point has far exceeded the imagination of Gu Xi and Wu Gong. Even the three members of the inspection team headed by Zhang Xian were a little at a loss.

Everyone looked at Pei Xingjian eagerly.

"No wonder you dared to break into my county government office. It turns out there is someone behind you."

Pei Xingjian sneered, "But it's a pity. Others are afraid of the Legalist censor, but I am not. If you have no other support, you have no choice but to get out of here today."

"There is still one,"

Seeing that the old man was so domineering, the man didn't hesitate and directly revealed his last trump card, "Our general banner's surname is Yu."

"Yu" the old man pondered for a moment, "Yu from Qingcheng Group?"

Jin Yiwei nodded, confirming the other party's guess.

"There are people from the Taoist sect involved in this?!"

At this moment, even though Pei Xingjian's palace was as deep as the abyss, he couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face.

A mediocre recommendation had so many forces involved behind it.

What made Pei Xingjian even more angry was that as the chief official, these things happened right under his nose, but he was so late in noticing.

"After all, I'm still a little old."

The old man suddenly had this thought in his heart and sighed involuntarily.

"You are so well prepared, I have nothing to say."

The leading Jin Yiwei clasped his hands in his fists and was about to say thank you when he saw Pei Xingjian pointing his finger at Wu Gong, "Take this person away."

"I?!"

Wu Gong looked shocked, and suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "Why me? Why is it me?"

Next to him, Gu Xi, who had already lowered his head and looked like he was surrendering, suddenly raised his head, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his pale face was full of shock and ecstasy of the aftermath of the disaster.

The exchange of joy and sorrow at this moment caught people off guard.

But the other three officials of the Examination Department seemed to have expected this outcome.

"Because, Wu Gong, you have committed a taboo that cannot be committed!"

Perhaps Yao Chongli still couldn't bear to see Wu Gong's death unclear, so he gritted his teeth and explained.

"A big no-no."

Wu Gong repeated these two words in his mouth, and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"I didn't mean to cooperate with Jin Yiwei, I was taken advantage of."

Wu Gong shouted in panic: "This is a trap they set for me. I had no idea that this file was provided by someone from Jinyiwei!"

"enough."

Zhang Xian shouted sternly: "You can't even tell that someone is taking advantage of you. Does a person like you deserve to participate in the recommendation?"

Wu Gong turned a deaf ear and rushed to Yao Chongli's side, grabbing the other man's sleeves like crazy, "Master Yao, please speak to me."

"It was you who made the big mistake. There is nothing more to say."

Yao Chongli rolled up his sleeves and pulled Wu Gong away.

At this time, he didn't want to have anything to do with Wu Gong, so how could he help him speak for him?

"have nothing to say?"

Anger appeared on Wu Gong's face, and his eyes were bloodshot, "Yao Chongli, are you drawing a clear line with me now? Don't forget the time when you took so many things from my Wu family."

This is looking for death!

Just as this thought arose in Gu Xi's mind, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Phew!

An Xiuchun knife pierced Wu Gong's throat and cut off all the remaining words in his mouth.

Wu Gong grasped the edge of the blade with both hands and stared straight ahead with almost bulging eyes.

Yao Chongli, who took action, pulled out the Xiuchun knife with an expressionless face and threw it to the leading Jin Yiwei.

Looking at the blood-stained sword, the man frowned and said, "Master Pei, this seems to be against the rules."

"This is a county government in Chengdu, and I, Pei Xingjian, only have rules."

The old man said expressionlessly: "Don't you just want to change to someone who makes money? The Gu family and the Wu family are the same."

"Thank you, sir."

The man was silent for a long time, and finally put the Xiuchun knife back into its sheath, cupped his hand and said, "But there is an order from above to throw the prisoner's consciousness into prison and bring him back for interrogation."

"Moreover, the house will be ransacked."

Zhang Xian's eyes twitched, he slapped the case and said angrily: "It's shameless, right?"

"give them."

Pei Xingjian raised his voice and said, "Since we have lost, let's accept it generously."

"You are the more skilled this time," he said slowly as he looked at the group of royal guards, "but I still have to work in Chengdu County for many more years, so we all have a long time ahead."

Everyone in the Jin Yiwei remained silent. They just cupped their fists and bowed to the old man, then retreated into the rain with Wu Gong's body.

"Is this the end?"

After Wu Gong died, the candidates recommended this time were naturally re-elected out of order.

Gu Xi, who was sitting in an armchair, took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and slowly stood up.

Just when he was about to say some high-sounding words of thanks to Zhang Xian and others, the communication device in his ear canal suddenly read a message automatically.

The next second, Gu Xi's face changed drastically, and he no longer cared about Confucian etiquette. He rushed to the door and looked up to the south.

For some reason, in the night rain at this time, there was a red light filling the sky.

My home was really burned down!
