Chapter 319.

Zhu Di can be described as having a confused mind.

He didn’t even know what kind of mood he was in at the moment.

It’s just a lot of past events that come to mind.

From the beginning of his acquaintance with Yao Guangxiao, he almost kept extremely close contact with him for more than ten years.

He had been a Prince, was now the Son of Heaven, heavenly and noble, no one could guess his heart.

The desires of his heart could not be freely spoken to the bystanders either.

Yao Guangxiao is the only one who can talk all night long. In the most difficult time, even Zhu Di lost confidence in his own future and future, but Yao Guangxiao has always given him encouragement and support. But Yao Guangxiao always gave him encouragement and support.

“Your Highness can succeed, Your Highness allows the civilization and the military, even if it is far inferior to the court, as long as Your Highness persists, you will succeed.”

In a sense, Yao Guangxiao is not simply a strategist, even in the most difficult years, Yao Guangxiao can even be Zhu Di’s spiritual mentor.

But wait until the success of the Jingdan, Zhu Di originally thought, this hope to rely on him from the dragon, and soaring people, actually did not ask for any of the high-ranking officials and salaries.

Even if Zhu Di rewarded him again and again, he insisted on not accepting it, and even time and again expressed his desire to retire to the mountains.

Perhaps for many people, Yao Guangxiao is just learning from Fan Li, a bright idea.

Just …… but only Zhu Di knows him.

Zhu Di is not the kind of person who can not share the rich and noble, which …… can be clearly proved from the treatment of other Jingdan Gongchen.

As long as Yao Guangxiao is willing, he can get a duke, marry many concubines, rank in the temple, enter the Wen Yuan Pavilion, and become a Zai Fu, but it is just a matter of hand and foot.

Yao Guangxiao knows better than anyone else in the world what kind of person Zhu Di is, and how he needs to play the so-called hidden world to avoid trouble?

The monk who accomplished Zhu Di, accomplished many of the merits of the Jingwu, in the midst of everyone’s incomprehension, only accepted a small position of monk Records Division, still still still eat his fasting, chanting his Buddha.

Merit and fame, as if it had nothing to do with him, he was only himself.

In a sense, Yao Guangxiao is a part of Zhu Di’s life.

He could tell this monk whatever he wanted about his deepest, dirtiest thoughts.

It is also possible to show your preferences without fear of revealing them to others.

And this monk, just listening, smiling and offering his advice.

But Yao Guangxiao …… died.

Zhu Di had thought that if this monk had died, he would have grieved a lot.

But now, Zhu Di s heart actually has no grief, because …… Yao Guangxiao actually died in such a way.

He didn’t get anything from me, and now he’s being starved and beaten to death.

It is under my world, under my eyes, under the hands of the officials I have raised.

Zhu is like a fire at this point.

This fire is getting stronger and stronger!

He did not go to see the ground has long been dead imperial historian, this person is good or bad, is loyal or treacherous, whether loyal to their duties, or is a corpse, Zhu Di does not care.

He doesn’t care.

At that moment, he hissed and gave a call.

Then no one would dare to block or oppose it anymore.

All, at the bidding, did their duty.

And just at this time, Zhang Anshi, who had been standing as if frozen, finally moved.

As soon as he was done, he was going to run out of the temple.

Zhu snapped, “Where are you going?”

Zhang Anshi then stood still and said, “Your Majesty, I will go to gather the men …… and horses.”

Zhu Di sank his brow and said, “Just order the people to go, you accompany the driver.”

Zhang Anshi’s color changed, but he was busy saying with fear and trepidation, “Yes, I obey the decree.”

Zhang Anshi followed Zhu Di’s side and walked forward silently, he buried his head and was as quiet as a quail.

Zhang Anshi was by and large sad, in fact he was more shocked.

Because he couldn’t understand what kind of operation Yao Guangxiao was doing.

With Yao Guangxiao’s intelligence, he must have a hundred ways to get the other party killed.

But in the end, Yao Guangxiao …… actually got killed.

This is not in line with the style of monk yao, if not monk yao is dead in ningguo fu, if it is dead in pingfu then ……

Zhang Anshi definitely suspected that this guy must be touching the porcelain and was trying to blackmail him.

But now …… after Zhang Anshi was shocked, it was too late to review Yao Guangxiao s real purpose, and then he began to grieve.

This monk is not bad except for his greed for money.

Lacking in virtue is a little bit of virtue, and sometimes it always seems like he’s so lacking in virtue that he’s smoking.

But at least …… this guy has a bottom line, sometimes did not cheat from his hands, this guy will never be annoyed, or even wait for the opportunity to retaliate.

So this guy, by and large, is considered a good monk in his mind.

And as for the man who killed Monk Yao ……

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi’s heart, too, couldn’t help but raise a nameless karmic fire.

This monk, he cursed in his heart, but someone killed Monk Yao, he will definitely not begrudge all kinds of means to send all these people who killed Monk Yao to be reunited with Monk Yao.

Zhang Anshi himself didn’t realize that his eyes were a little red and his face was a little hot as he struggled to comfort himself.

This monk is so old, almost deserved to die, people have birth, old age, sickness, death, sadness and joy, the moon has a cloudy day, the living still need to live well, to look forward.

But in the end, he couldn’t hold it in a bit.

Zhu Di’s tiger eyes, only slightly swept Zhang Anshi a glance, faintly said, “Crying what?”

“Didn’t cry.” Zhang Anshi said.

Zhu Di said, “Where is the horse, why hasn’t my horse come yet?”

All the people in the palace, as if they were hot pot ants, still scurrying about.

Just at this moment …… the eunuch of the General Secretary, the wind came running.

This eunuch bowed down, panting and said, “Your Majesty …… has a message from …… the Cockpit Temple.”

Zhu frowned, “What is it?”

The eunuch said, “Jiming Temple, a small shaman serving Lord Yao …… said, said …… that when Lord Yao was on his way out, he said that as soon as the hour was up, he would give something . . hand over to His Majesty.”

The hour is up.

Zhu was shocked.

He gazed at the eunuch and said, “Where’s the stuff?”

“It was a key, and that shaman, with the key, opened a chest under Yao Gong’s couch …… this chest …… in the chest …… ”

“What is it?” Zhu unconsciously raised his voice.

“There is an epistle …… and …… there …… is …… more,” the eunuch said as he kowtowed: “There is also …… some deposit tickets that Lord Yao deposited in the money bank …… the people of the Jixing Temple …… have counted them, it is two million four hundred and seventy seven thousand taels, in addition to that , there is also interest of one hundred thirty-seven thousand taels …… said …… said …… that when the hour is up, it will be sent to His Majesty’s presence, and His Majesty will know … . know what this means ……”

When Zhu Di heard this, the angry tiger’s eyes, the tears that he had been holding back, suddenly sprinkled down like a curtain of rain.

At this moment, he was like a child, wiping his eyes and saying, “I don’t want his money.”

His voice was hoarse and tired, and when he waved his hand to wipe it off, his long sleeves got wet.

Zhu Di said, “He thought I scarce these money? He has been smart for a lifetime, but at this time …… he is so confused …… confused monk ah.”

Zhang Anshi was beside him, and seeing that Zhu Di was about to collapse, he immediately said, “Where are the letters?”

“The epistle …… epistle slave girl has brought it.” That eunuch sent an epistle, arching it high, to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di warily took the letter, then took out the letterhead and went to read it with his head down.

Zhang Anshi’s heart was full of grief, but out of the instincts of a brocade guard, he subconsciously stood on tiptoe and glanced toward the epistle.

The epistle is actually quite simple.

Just a few words.

“The matter of earthly destiny has been settled, and my broken body is no longer fit for use. Your majesty is a very good man, he will become a great man, I can befriend your majesty, I have no regrets in my life. I have some money, please don’t mind if you take it to repair the palace in Beiping or to help the people, you can take it yourself. In addition, although spring has already begun, the weather inside and outside the capital is different from previous years, the sky is cold and dewy, I hope you take care!”

All at once the letterhead was wet with tears.

After Zhu Di let out a growl, he would put the epistle away carefully close to his body.

Zhang Anshi immediately took his gaze back and let out a sigh, so it turned out that …… in this world …… there really are parents who took your New Year s Eve money and will still return it.

Zhu closed his eyes for a long, long time before he opened them shakily.

At this moment, his eyes gleamed as he said, “Let’s go, Cheng Xing.”

Zhang Anshi’s heart at this time is also very difficult, difficult as if pressing a boulder, but still hastened to say: “comply with the decree.”

………………

The government office was already in disarray.

Many have gone into hiding.

Jianyi is seriously ill, the co-conspirator Fan Yi presided over the situation, he held meetings again and again, hoping to let this up and down all the officials can be before the storm, can be the same breath.

But every time, he and Huang Huan breathlessly realized that the number of people who came to the meeting, was getting smaller and smaller.

It’s actually understandable that some people are freaking out and hiding in their homes, afraid to come out.

Others, wanting to pack up their belongings and prepare to flee.

But Fan Yi only wanted to laugh, bitterly ……

At this point, run? Where can we go?

Is there room at the end of the world?

At this point in time, it would simply be self-defeating not to respond as best you can, not to speak out in congregation.

But …… it may not be without benefit if someone runs.

Fan Yi looked at the incoming crowd with an air of calmness.

Everyone looked worried.

Fan Yi held his tealight and sipped his tea with a feigned composure.

At this time, he must be calm, if even he couldn’t hold it together, then the others would really scatter.

Fan Yi then raised his eyes, looked at the apprehensive crowd, suddenly said: “How come the magistrate Wu did not come? His county office is just to the left, the others can still say that the journey is long and delayed on the way, this magistrate Wu, what do you say?”

The crowd looked at each other, but it was Zhou Xiang, the county minister of Xuancheng County, who stood out and said, “Fan Tongzhi, since early this morning, he has not been seen, not …… since noon yesterday.”

The crowd began to whisper.

Van Eyck tapped his hand.

Snap ……

The crowd was solemn.

Fan Yi grew up, he stood up and said angrily; “Well, is it hiding? Heh …… won’t be like some people, pack up the fine and run away, right?”

“It s just that …… other errand boys and officials can run away, where can he run as a Xuancheng county magistrate? Can he run away from the monk and run away from the temple?”

Everyone’s hearts thumped when the word monk was said.

Nowadays, the word that people are most afraid of hearing is the word monk.

Fan Yi then added with a faint smile, “If he runs away, that’s fine.”

Fan Yi put his hands behind his back, paced a few steps, and then said, “This is him being unkind first, so he can’t blame us for being unrighteous!”

“Gentlemen …… by the time …… this case is really investigated on the head, and this Yao monk is really dead in our Ningguo Fu, then …… everyone will say the same word and say that it was this Xuancheng County magistrate Wu Zhizhan who did it, and put everything on his head, anyway, he ran away.”

As soon as the crowd heard this, as if some switch had suddenly been flipped, they all perked up, and one by one, they began to ponder over it.

Fan Yi looked to the county minister of Xuancheng County, Zhou Xiang said: “Zhou County Minister, he is your superior officer, this matter… can it be done? Check if his official seal is in, prepare some official documents, and …… check his usual whereabouts, can it be done?”

Zhou Xiang stood up in full view of the public and thought for a moment, “It’s not impossible. But …… just afraid ……”

“Don’t worry.” Fan Yi smiled and said, “Things aren’t as bad as this. If Monk Yao dies here, of course the dragon’s face will be enraged, but the person who is pursuing Monk Yao is Jin Chun, the Minister of Justice, and Jin Chun, a man who is a disciple of Lord Jian, does not distinguish between them. As long as you take a person like Wu Zhizhan to take the blame, even if there are any loopholes, Jin will turn a blind eye. It’s easy as pie, and when His Majesty is enraged and destroys this Wu Zhizhan’s entire clan, the matter will be over.”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s the way it should be.”

“Nice, who taught him to run.”

The crowd was sick and desperate, but nodded their heads like chickens pecking at the slightest possibility.

“I am afraid that someone will come to investigate thoroughly and go on, and our affairs ……” There are people with delicate minds, and they are beginning to worry again.

“Hmph, who dares to look into Lord Jian’s head, do they have the guts to do so? Moreover, what is at stake for Lord Jian is the survival of the famous religion, who dares to risk such a great injustice, don’t you want to die?”

A side of the Wu Huan stood out, a look of determination said: “So say ah, as long as we all say, this thing …… will have to end without a problem. Even if you really want to investigate thoroughly, then let go to investigate thoroughly, let people come to ask me and so on, let people go to ask the people around, since Jian Gong took office, who do not know Jian Gong outstanding performance? Look at the county schools in each county. Which one of them is not in good shape? Hasn’t the people’s burden been lightened a lot? With a clear conscience, do the people of your county all say that Mr. Jian is wise?”

The crowd murmured for a moment and nodded as well.

One of them stood up, but the wrong magistrate Liu Wenxin, he was trembling, but the language out of sincerity, said: “the other day, the next official to see the township, the township sage, the sage also praised Jian Gong, said that Jian Gong dying to rule. Since he took office, the prefectural counties, all are road no one, the night is not closed, the people live in peace and work happily. Many people also regret, said Jian Gong is the official minister, sooner or later one day to return to the dynasty, we Ningguo Fu, I’m afraid that there is no fortune to stay with him, and so he left the office, what to say also want to send the ten thousand people umbrella, want to teach the world to know, Jian Gong in the Ningguo Fu, like a giant umbrella like to protect our side of the common people, is a good official who loves the people like a son.”

All of them solemnly nodded their heads, and there was so much to say about Lord Jian’s virtuous government.

There is not a single person around himself who does not praise it.

So someone couldn’t help but sigh, “If it wasn’t for this monk Yao’s affair, I’m afraid …… that this Jian Gong …… is Bao Zheng in the world, but it’s also just like that.”

Thinking that they still had Jianyi’s backing, everyone settled down.

Fan Yi took advantage of everyone’s energies to say, “In any case, as long as we can cover up this Yao Gong’s affair, we will be considered a great success in front of Lord Jian. Gentlemen, we must not jeopardize Duke Jian’s official reputation because we have exposed ourselves.”

“What’s more, this matter is about the famous religion, and it is proper for the sons of saints to defend the famous religion. All of you must pull yourself together and be ready to deal with the court.”

The crowd clasped their hands and said yes.

Huang Huan smiled from the sidelines and said, “Is County Lieutenant Liu of Nanling County available?”

A man stood up from the corner, holding his red face, he heard that the last of the dirty water was poured on the Xuan County magistrate’s body, his heart was wildly happy, in this way, he was also considered to be relieved.

After all, he was the one who escorted Lord Yao to the Prefecture in the first place, and was supposed to be to blame.

At that moment, he said hurriedly, “In.”

Just saw Fan Yi said: “tomorrow at dawn, all burned, this thing you have to do well, don’t burn improperly, have to pinpoint the time, not after dawn, or else in full view, always improper. But if it is at dawn is not good, this morning not burn, not burn, but burn at dawn, it will appear as if it is deliberately man-made. Only at dawn, when everyone is most asleep, a fire is burned! When the time comes, we’ll say…there was an errand boy in charge, carrying a lantern, but because he was on night duty, he was really sleepy, and thus negligent, which caused the fire.”

Prefect Liu nodded and said, “My humble servant understands.”

Fan Yi was still uneasy, adding, “This errand …… must also be prepared …… together …… as well.”

He looked deeply at Nanling County Lieutenant Liu, “Be clean, and leave no traces either.”

Prefect Liu said, “Yes.”

Lieutenant Liu should be down, he knows in his heart that he is the only one who can fill this hole.

At that moment, he immediately retired to get ready.

Waited all night in apprehension.

Lieutenant Liu didn’t sleep a wink.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know he should have slept and stayed refreshed to do it just in time for the next dawn.

But no matter what, he was tossing and turning.

So Sole got up and paced back and forth in annoyance.

And so he stayed up until the third hour, and seeing that it was about time, he roused himself, and presently began to order a party of messengers to set out.

These officers, all of whom had escorted the human medical household together in the first place, were the most trustworthy.

After all, we were all grasshoppers on the same rope, and once things leaked out, everyone would have to die without a burial place.

It didn’t take long for the crowd to appear on the long street.

Footsteps were hurried to the storehouse at the back of the Shoumasho, where the healers were still being held, and security had been tightened as well.

The guards here are the servants of the Shomaru Shrine.

They saw Liu County Lieutenant these people came, as if unspoken, someone shouted: “Almost, this early in the morning, hungry, go, looking for an early morning stall, brothers go to drink a mouthful of tea, eat something to fill your stomach.”

It didn’t take long for the men to go clean.

The vast majority of the people in the coffers were still asleep.

Lieutenant Liu’s face was expressionless and only smiled morosely, his eyes, which had not slept for a night, were covered with blood and filled with crimson, and in this dimly lit night, his face appeared gloomy and horrible.

He opened his mouth, and then slowly said, “Do it.”

Someone slowly …… carried the kerosene and began to move around the several depots.

They were very skillful and made no noise.

It was only the pungent odor of kerosene that the people inside eventually smelled it, and one by one, they awoke with a start, so they whispered.

They obviously hadn’t expected that what was about to happen, and just muttered something, then fell silent again.

At this time, someone hurriedly arrived at Prefect Liu’s side and whispered, “It’s almost time.”

Prefect Liu glanced at him, “You go set the fire.”

“This ……” The errand boy was a little nervous and hesitantly said, “Little, little ……”

“What, don’t dare?” Prefect Liu disdainfully said, “When you were escorting that monk, you dared to beat him, why don’t you dare now instead?”

The errand boy was still hesitating.

County Lieutenant Liu became furious: “Don’t you know what you’re doing!”

This errand boy was shocked and subconsciously said, “Yes, yes. Little …… little ……”

Before they came, all of them were in blind lights and did not dare to light their torches for fear of being too ostentatious and being seen.

Now, shivering, he began to light the flint.

Only his hands were shaking a little.

“You cowardly thing.” Seeing that he could never hit the flint, Lieutenant Liu, who was pinching the candle aside and waiting for him to start the fire, scolded, “What’s the use of having a drunkard like you?”

Snap ……

The flint is lit.

And later, the candles are lit.

Amidst the firelight, Lieutenant Liu’s face was morose as he handed the candle to this errand boy, “Go.”

At this point …… here is finally a fire.

The people who were in the darkness couldn’t help but blink their eyes, as Prefect Liu finished his explanation.

With an effort he opened his eyes, and then …… he wiped them violently.

“Captain Liu, where to start pointing ……”

“Captain Liu ……”

Lieutenant Liu didn’t respond.

The officer was anxious and turned around, but he saw Lieutenant Liu standing in shock, motionless, as he stared dead on in one direction.

The errand boy was busy looking in the direction of Lieutenant Liu.

But I see …… dense …… I don t know when, this place is actually all people.

Bright iron spears, glowing in the cold candlelight.

One by one, the people who stabbed out their iron spears diagonally, their bodies were motionless, just like terracotta warriors.

At this moment, a man stood out slowly with his hands behind his back, and then Xu stepped forward to the heel of Prefect Liu.

In front of the face of the errand boy, to the Lieutenant Liu, directly a slap down, before saying, “What are you going to do?”

Snap ……

The slap was crisp.

Dry.

But violently, it woke up Prefect Liu.

Lieutenant Liu covered his mouth, couldn t care about the pain, looked at the people in front of him with wide eyes, and subconsciously said, “Who …… are you guys?”

The visitor slowly said, “The Duke of Wei, the Jin Yiwei Commanding Officer Tongzhi, Taiping Prefecture Yin …… Zhang Anshi!”

This statement was made.

Lieutenant Liu has been scared to the point that his legs are soft, snapped, directly paralyzed kneeling on the ground, trembling lips said, “How did you …… you come?”

“Just came to see how you guys set fires, I heard that you guys are very specialized in killing and setting fires!” Zhang Anshi had mockery in his eyes, and his face was even more morose than that of County Lieutenant Liu.

…………
