Peerless Pirates

Seeing that the little emperor seemed impatient, Song Zheng quickly advised, "First of all, we must settle this major case. The most fundamental principle is that the Ji family is plotting rebellion and must be uprooted (Latest Chapter of Living with the Devil). This point

I guess both the prime minister and the prince will agree. Secondly

, Your Majesty, it is best to put on a posture of wanting to take all the salt fields into your own hands, and slowly relax. After many discussions, we will come up with our final idea, which is the method I just mentioned. Otherwise, the Ji family

The salt farm will become something solely controlled by the military or the prime minister."

Pang Ying smiled sheepishly, "Master Song, I was too impatient."

"Your Majesty is dedicated to serving the public good and wishes to quickly bring the traitors to justice. I admire you." After Song Zheng said this, he looked at the little emperor and the two of them laughed at the same time.

Early the next morning, everyone discussed and decided to divide the troops into two groups. Dong Lan, the Minister of War, became the imperial envoy. Together with Yang Dong, the Qianhubi general of the city guard, they went straight to the Huaibei Salt Fields to investigate the poisonous salt case.

On the other hand, Min Wuji, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, took action, Huang Yue, the imperial guard, and Han Kui, the Qianhubi general of the Imperial Guard, led the sergeants of the headquarters. They launched an investigation into the Ji family in Jiangning City and dealt with the matter of Lan Xiangming, the eunuch of the Imperial Army. Huang

Yue was assisted by Han Kui.

The composition of the entire imperial envoy team is also quite interesting. Dong Lancheng is a close confidant of Pang Hui. This time something happened to the army, it is understandable that he should serve as the imperial envoy (read the full text of Honghuang Special Forces). Ni Wuji can barely be counted as Huang Yuandu's. Yang

Dong Dong and Han Kui were the representatives of the City Guards and the Capital Guards respectively. As for adding Huang Yue, it was naturally Song Zheng's intention. Huang Yue acted on behalf of the little emperor and planned to get a share of the business in the future.

The case was settled and it was left with a backup plan.

Of course, since the little emperor, Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu had reached an agreement, they would naturally instruct their own people to investigate and deal with it strictly and quickly. The time limit was also limited to one month, so as not to give everyone in the Ji family and Jiangnan time to prepare and counterattack.

Although Huang Yue is a bit grumpy, he will not be disappointed with the experienced Mu Yi following him.

Before the imperial envoy officially set off, Pang Hui dispatched a military order and ordered people to rush to Huainan East Road. The local garrison immediately sealed off the salt field, blocked the sea route, and cut off traffic. They controlled the situation first and waited for the imperial envoy to arrive.

The young emperor originally wanted to hire Song Zheng, but he was rejected by Song Zheng. Now, the issue of his imperial examination papers has already landed him in a trap of right and wrong. If he jumps into the pit of the Ji family, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Something happened to the Ji family, which shocked both the government and the public. From the time when Duke Pangtong was poisoned, to the simultaneous attack on the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the City Guards, to the encirclement and execution of the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it only took a day and night.

After the disappearance spread, officials from the six departments of Da Qi, Yushitai, Taiwei Mansion, and officials at all levels petitioned, demanding severe punishment for those behind the scenes. The generals of the Forbidden Army, City Guards, and Capital Guards even compiled numerous letters and wrote to them,

Ask the imperial court to uphold justice and implicate the Ji family to the nine clans.

This case is so big that even if some people feel that the matter is fishy, ​​they dare not speak for the Ji family at this time. The little emperor is also furious and makes it clear that this is a major case of rebellion. With the public in anger, who dares to risk the world at this time?

Too bad.

When Song Zheng returned to the Song Mansion, he didn't smile at all. Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu's ears and eyes were beyond his expectation, making him always feel like he was being watched.

If Pang Hui had not known that he had manipulated the poisonous salt, he would not have reacted so quickly and taken advantage of the situation to eliminate He Kuan and poison so many people, making the case even bigger.

Who would have told Pang Hui? Could it be that apart from Ding Long, among the guards of the Song Dynasty who he personally trained, there were also people from Pang Hui?

Huang Yuandu actually knew clearly that he had rescued Guo Xingjia (the latest chapter of Crazy Bodyguard). How secretive was he doing that night? No one else knew about it except Xu Mingxuan. However, he put Guo Xingjia at the back door of Jiang's house

, it was Xu Mingxuan’s idea, and logically, it should not have been Xu Mingxuan’s doing.

If it wasn't Xu Mingxuan who leaked it, then it was only the news that was leaked by Pang Hui after he reported it to Pang Hui.

After the poisonous salt case became clear, Huang Yuandu looked at him with deep meaning, and seemed to know that he was the instigator. How did he know this news?

The person he framed this time was the Ji family, and both Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu were happy to see the result. If he plotted against Pang Hui or Huang Yuandu next time, or someone from their side, he would not have such good luck.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng broke into cold sweat on his back, and his face was still not good until he returned home.

"Brother Zheng." "Xiao Lang." As soon as he entered the house, Lu Chun and Xiao Bei gathered around him, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Come to my room to talk." Song Zheng's expression was cold, causing Lu Chun and Xiao Bei's smiles to freeze immediately.

After entering his room, Song Zheng asked Ming'er to close the door and stare outside. This behavior made both Lu Chun and Xiao Bei very nervous.

"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?" Xiao Bei asked.

"It's nothing. From now on, we must be careful in everything. We must not let any news about the poisonous salt matter."

Lu Chun was surprised, "Does anyone know that we were responsible for the case?"

Song Zheng shook his head, "We can't tell yet, but Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu may have guessed it, and Pang Hui even knows our detailed process."

"Ah?" Xiaobei and Pinchun both exclaimed (Read the full text of Reverse Punishment).

Song Zheng waved his hand and explained his various inferences and the current situation in the court. Xiaobei and Lu Chun calmed down a little.

"Xiao Lang, so what happened this time is not that we did it flawlessly, but that both the palace and the prime minister were happy to see it happen?"

Song Zheng nodded, "Although we didn't do this impeccably, but these two people got the news so quickly, and Pang Hui even secretly played a trick inside, so someone among us must have leaked the news.

"

Lu Chun murmured, "Except for a few of us and the guards at your house, no one else will know about the poisonous salt. The housekeeper's cargo ship has been sunk, and none of the boatmen inside have escaped. And

From Dayuan Wharf to the merchant

The people who transport grain from the warehouse are all temporary coolies, and they cannot possibly know the tricks inside. The people who cheat on the operation of the dock are all your subordinates. I really can't think of anyone who would leak the news.

.”

Song Zheng glanced at Lu Chun. Although he felt that he was a bit cruel in sinking the boat and killing people, it was undoubtedly the best way to keep it secret. From this point of view, it was impossible for Lu Chun, Xiao Bei and Guan Chen to reveal

Rumors, after all, if something goes wrong, they can't escape their involvement, not to mention that they will both lose and prosper with themselves. Then the only possibility is that there are still people from Pang Hui or Huang Yuandu among the guards trained by him.

Ding Long is the only one who has been dug out. The rest have been carefully investigated by Hu Qiang, Zhu Jian and others, but no clues have been found. So who did it?

Song Zheng sighed, "It seems that there is something wrong with my guards. If this matter is not investigated, I will be on pins and needles!"

Xiaobei advised, "Brother Zheng, it's not necessarily true. Maybe we didn't do it well and people noticed it." He knew how much effort Song Zheng had put into this group of people, and seeing Song Zheng's lonely example, he felt a little bit in his heart.

Can't bear it.

Song Zheng shook his head, "You don't need to persuade me, I know it in my heart. But I'm not sure who this person is yet. Maybe it's one person, maybe two people, or even more."

"Xiao Lang, why don't you ask them one by one and let them report each other, maybe you can find some clues (read the full text from Commoner to Tyrant)." Lu Chun suggested.

Song Zheng waved his hand, "Now is not the time to alert the snake. By the way, I am worried that someone will pursue the poisonous salt case. I plan to send Cai Yong and this group to the Shandong Road Trading House. Lu Chun, you

Find them a job and let them hide over there on Shandong Road for a month, and then let them come back when the dust settles here."

"Oh, this is not difficult. I happen to have some important things here that I want to send back to my hometown in Shandong Road. Together with Guan Chen, we will go back to Shandong Road first to avoid this rumor."

"Well, I will arrange for them to be at your disposal. You can also send some people to watch them for me. If you see anything unusual, don't say anything, come back and tell me, and I will deal with it."

Lu Chun nodded, "Xiao Lang, don't worry."

Xiaobei sighed, "I don't know how this poisonous salt case will be resolved in the end."

Song Zheng hesitated for a moment, then told the strategy he had discussed with the little emperor.

Lu Chun thought for a while, "We can be regarded as giving people a wedding gift, but in the end we can still get benefits. The establishment of a branch of the trading house is just around the corner."

Xiaobei also said, "Brother Zheng, you don't have to worry too much about those people under your command. A fox will always show its tail. Since both the palace and the prime minister have benefited this time, they won't be disadvantageous to you. Everyone is happy. From now on.

If you have time, just find them out slowly."

Song Zheng nodded and sneered, "I will find a way to do this. Someone has already exposed their tail, and I want to see how many people they have ambushed around me!"

Just when Song Zheng was worried and Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu were sharpening their knives, there was a charming scene in the Queen Mother's Palace.

In a sandalwood Buddhist hall in the Queen Mother Palace, Huang Jiao sat lazily on the bed, flushed, looking at the handsome monk standing on the chair painting the wall. The monk waved his small brush and was carefully painting a picture.

Vice-happy Buddhist painting: a male statue wearing a Buddhist crown

The man was sitting cross-legged, holding a petite woman with his hands. The woman had an exquisite figure and particularly plump buttocks. She had her arms wrapped around the male venerable, and her buttocks were sitting on his crotch. Her eyes were blurred. The man looked precious.

He looks dignified and shows no sign of confusion.

"Jingchen, you little bald donkey, how come you can draw so well this time? It turns out that those male heroes are all very vicious."

Jingchen smiled and bowed, "Buddha has thousands of faces, doesn't the Queen Mother know?"

Huang Jiao chuckled, "I don't know that there are thousands of faces. I only know that you are a little devil with many tricks."

Jingchen grinned, pointed at the mural and said, "Of these patterns, which one does the empress like?"

Huang Jiao glanced at the entire wall, her expression even more charming, "I like them all!" Her voice was sweet, like a girl's.

"Then let's try this one today!" Jingchen finished the last stroke, jumped up, casually put the painting plate on the stool, came to the bedside, and touched it with both hands.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jiao suddenly stretched out her foot and kicked Jingchen on the waist. Jingchen was caught off guard and fell down, hitting his head on the stool. The painting plate with dye on it was buckled down and colorfully sprinkled on it.

On the bald gourd.

Huang Jiao smiled again, "Hey, I became a flower monk."

The cold light in Jingchen's eyes disappeared, but he got up with an ouch, touched his head and cried out in pain.

"Be good! Come here!" Huang Jiao waved, and Jingchen sat over like a little daughter-in-law. Huang Jiao stretched out her hand to pull a piece of clothing and wiped Jingchen clean carefully.

Then, she raised Jingchen's chin with one hand and asked, "Little enemy, does it still hurt?" ~
