I am the king of the dead

Chapter 244
Jin Yiwei Tiqi pushed Li Binyan hard, and pushed Li Binyan to the ground. Three or two people, holding the Xiuchun knife, rushed to the mountains and forests. It didn't take long for all three of them to be captured.

These people are dressed in rags, and the bows and arrows in their hands are also folk hunting bows. If you don't look carefully, you will think that they are just woodcutters. The hatchets on their backs are covered with blood.

They are thieves, that is, bandits and bandits.

Tang Xing frowned and looked at the group of people in front of him, he let out a bad breath and said, "Cut them all down."

These thieves are collecting money to do business, they are all young men, they just lie in ambush here, and when Li Binyan passes by from now on, they will strike.

On the way from Jinan Mansion to Yanzhou Mansion, it was already the fourth wave of thieves trying to intercept and kill Li Binyan. Ever since he left Jinan Mansion, Li Binyan's bad luck had never stopped.

Yanzhou Mansion wanted to make trouble, and it was still in the name of dismissing the exam. Li Binyan, as the governor of Shandong, naturally went to have a look.

Those who wanted to kill Li Binyan were all desperadoes. Jin Yiwei undoubtedly stopped these assassinations, but their car had overturned, and Li Binyan was about to walk when he was assassinated again.

"Li Yushi, you have to scout to open the way now so that you can walk safely." A Tiqi rode on a horse and looked at the three thieves, shaking his head repeatedly.

Who is Tang Xing?Tang Yunyan's father, the father of His Majesty's favorite concubine.

But this time I came to Shandong for business.

As far as Tang Xing was concerned, he was also a relative now, but His Majesty did not intend to continue to ennoble his relatives, so he had to rely on his merits to make money.

Tianzi Ti rode to escort the prisoner back to Beijing, and Tang Xing was responsible for protecting Li Binyan.

Now that Tianzi Tiqi came back with Jin Yiwei, the security pressure was much relieved. Tang Xing never let Li Binyan out of his sight before.

Li Binyan was covered in mud. He was pushed down just now and rolled on the ground like a lazy donkey. His official uniform had become dirty.

"What is this for! What is it for!"

"Didn't I just accept an errand? No matter where I go, it will kill me!" Li Binyan sat on the ground, shaking his sleeves vigorously, and a cry of grief came from the bottom of his heart.

During this trip to Shandong, he finally saw what is dangerous in the world.

Today, when he finally sweeps the floor gracefully, the lazy donkey rolls around and is covered in mud.

Li Binyan broke down a bit.

Although he took away the brains and brains of the entire Shandong, the lingering poison was not exhausted.

He finally understood why the ministers were silent when he said that the powerful family was involved in the minting of coins.

These people are really... so scary!

Tang Xing shook his head, it wasn't that Li Binyan was timid, it was that Li Binyan was just a scholar, and he was really powerless in the face of this situation.

This errand is really training people.

Li Binyan's training was almost gone.

Imperial envoys have always been a high-risk job since ancient times, otherwise Jin Lian would not be both civil and military, able to fight against Chen Mao, and Yu Qian would not have such rich experience in dealing with bandits.

Tang Xing said with a smile: "Li Yushi, if you are afraid, don't do it, go back to the capital in despair, and His Majesty will send another person to handle it."

"I don't! I just went back like this. I'm afraid they will laugh at me to death!" Li Binyan stood up. Although his body was covered in mud, he still exhaled and picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the ground. It is not available anymore.

It has been raining heavily in Shandong these past few days, and it has been raining heavily. There has been no clearing for several days in a row, the roads are muddy, and accidents have occurred in Qufu and other places.

"Put this on." Tang Xing threw a set of coir raincoats to Li Binyan and said with a sigh, "It's hard work for you. I didn't expect this job to be so difficult."

Li Binyan buckled the coir raincoat on his body, Jin Yiwei led a spare horse, and helped Li Binyan onto the horse.

Li Binyan put his arms around the horse's neck and said, "Emperor Taizu Gao is really wise, he sent Jin Yiwei to investigate everything! He just knows that this world is dangerous!"

"Commander Tang, I don't know how to ride a horse."

Tang Xing nodded and said, "Tie it up!"

"It's an insult to the gentleman! It's an insult to the gentleman!" Li Binyan put his arms around the horse's neck and had him tied to the horse.

Tang Xing looked at Li Binyan who was tied up like a zongzi, and shook his head helplessly and said, "If you fall off the horse, you will really die. It's not a match for a head-to-head, so let's tie it up!"

Li Binyan nodded helplessly: "Oh."

More than 50 guards in Jinyi escorted Li Binyan and rushed to Yanzhou Mansion. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw the city wall of Yanzhou Mansion.

If something happened to Li Binyan, Daming Tiqi would probably become the number one joke in the world.

Li Binyan was obviously very tired, he had already fallen asleep lying on the horse, and hearing the smell, he might have caught a cold.

"Changping Horse Station." Tang Xing got off his horse and drew out the Xiuchun Knife. Seeing that this was not a big station, he was very vigilant.

Tang Xing took a deep breath and said, "Twenty people entered through the back door, and 30 people entered through the front door. They will search inside and out."

Departing from Tancheng Shuiyi, when arriving at Changqing County, when staying at Gushan Mayi, there was an attack and killing.

The thieves were in ambush in the station, and they were attacked and killed as soon as they entered the Gushan Horse Station. If it wasn't for the well-trained Jin Yiwei, they might suffer a big loss.

Entering Changping Horse Station this time, one must be cautious and cautious.

Changping Horse Station is a post station outside Yanzhou Mansion. Jin Yiwei searched up and down, and after digging three feet, it was confirmed that the inside was safe, and even the station guards checked repeatedly.

Not long after, Tang Xing finally saw Tang Zhan, Chief Qian of Ren Chengwei's Imperial Palace, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But Tang Xing still didn't let down his vigilance against Qianzong Tang Zhan of his family.

"Burn some hot water, and throw Li Yushi into it for a while to wash it off." Tang Xing kept his knife in his hand and inspected for a long time before he was convinced that there should be no problem with the Changping Horse Station.

It is not the Shandong people who are against the imperial court, let alone the people in Yanzhou Prefecture who are against the imperial court, but a group of people who are against the imperial court.

Shandong people are warm and hospitable. Shandong people are straightforward in speaking and doing things. Shandong people are very down-to-earth.

Li Binyan has no opinion on the Shandong people, even though he has been attacked and killed four times.

But he still doesn't hate Shandong, on the contrary he likes it very much.

Li Binyan was ill, to be precise, he had a cold, a runny nose, sneezing and sneezing non-stop. He had already been referred to the official doctor of Yanzhou Huimin Pharmacy Bureau. After Li Binyan took the medicine, he fell asleep.

But after waking up, Li Binyan didn't stop.

"Shandong Right Chief Envoy Pei Lun has arrived!" A Tiqi walked through the stormy door into the inn and came to the second floor.

"Quick...Ah Choo! Please!" Li Binyan stood up and sorted out the paperwork, which will be sent back to the capital along the official post road.

Pei Lun walked into the Changping Post Station wearing a coir raincoat, and after a greeting, everyone sat down.

"It has been confirmed that it is the Kong family in Qufu who promoted the rejection of the examination in Qufu, Surabaya, Ziyang, Yanzhou and other places, and Kong Yanjin, the Duke of Yansheng, is the mastermind behind it." Li Binyan said very precisely.

Although he had a cold, it did not affect his work.

"Why do you know that?" Pei Lun frowned. As far as he knew, Li Binyan had only been in Yanzhou Mansion for a day, so he was so sure?
Li Binyan sneezed heavily, Tang Xing said helplessly: "Everyone knows it."

After arriving in Yanzhou Mansion, Tiqi visited around, and it didn't take long to find out that this matter is not complicated, because everyone in Yanzhou Mansion knows who is behind this, a group of Confucian guys, with no brains clear!
Do people in Shandong like Confucian mansion?

Do people in Yanzhou like Confucian mansion?
Furthermore, do people in Qufu really like Confucian Mansion?

In fact, I don't like it very much. No matter who puts such a big Buddha at the door, I can't say it, I can't scold it, I can't control it, and I take servants everywhere.

The largest landlord in Yanzhou Mansion is the Kong family, with thousands of people, domineering.

"Here is the documentary evidence, the letter written by Kong Yanjin to Shilin Juzi." Tang Xing took out the documentary evidence.

"Here is the physical evidence, the silver taels that Kong Yanjin gave to the examinees, it is worth noting the Japanese silver." Tang Xing took out the physical evidence again.

"As for the witnesses, Yanzhou Mansion is full of streets, and there are two members of the Kong clan and two servants living in the inn. If you want to investigate, Pei Buzheng?" Tang Xing talked about the witnesses again.

Tang Xing had never handled such a smooth case. When he arrived at the place, and when he heard the news that he was dismissed from the case, they all provided clues.

Catching spies didn't go so smoothly.

Tang Xing took out another volume and said: "Here is another account, which was sent by Kong Kexu, the uncle of Kong Yanjin of the Confucian Mansion. Jin."

"You can't humble your clansmen, be greedy and indulgent, and be corrupt and chaotic."

Pei Lun coughed twice hard on his forehead, good guy, this case has advanced to such a point in a day, and Kong Kexu, the Confucian family, can't bear it anymore and wants to sue.

He examined the documentary evidence in detail, looked at the silver ingot, and sighed, the evidence was as solid as a mountain.

Handwriting surveys have been quite mature since the Song Dynasty, and there are a lot of witnesses, physical evidences, and documentary evidences.

Li Binyan sighed and said: "Our Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin, at the beginning of Yongle, went to Nanjing Guozijian to study, studied Chinese studies at a young age, and inherited Yan Sheng Gong in the eighth year of Yongle. hatred."

"In Yanzhou Prefecture and in Qufu, the sky is already full of anger."

He just didn't graduate, and the dignified descendant of Connie, Duke Yan of Ming Dynasty, didn't even finish his elementary school. It's ridiculous to say it.

"He's addicted to alcohol, he also likes music, he has raised countless kabuki, and he's good at mergers and acquisitions." Li Binyan said again.

I started drinking at the age of eight and continued to drink until I was in my 50s, but I still drank in a daze.

Pei Lun read the document for a long time, and asked in a daze: "Since Kong Yanjin did this, why separate the case of Kong Yanjin's non-discipline from the case of dismissal?"

Since all the mistakes were made by Kong Yanjin, after Kong Yanjin is arrested, he will be sent to the capital, and His Majesty will be killed or imprisoned, and it will be up to His Majesty to decide, and another Yansheng Gong will be established, isn't it all happy? ?

But Li Binyan actually handled the two cases separately. Isn't this just adding trouble?
Of course Li Binyan wasn't confused by a cold, he leaned forward and said confidently, "Because these are two cases."

"Kong Yan is the county magistrate of Qufu, and it is true that Kong Yanjin and Kong Xuan organized the resignation of the candidates in Qufu, but the rest of the places are not exactly the same."

"In other words, someone is taking the opportunity to make trouble. Kong Yanjin originally planned to make a commotion in Qufu County to see if he could get a tax reduction or even exemption. Now, it's like stabbing a hornet's nest."

Pei Lun shook his head again and again, such a thing as quitting the exam is an anecdote for thousands of years, if he dares to do this, he must admit the consequences.

There is some dissatisfaction among the people with the promotion of His Majesty's promotion of the "Gentlemen and Gentlemen receiving grain together", and it is not surprising that some people add fuel to the flames.

Tang Xing knocked on the table and said: "According to His Majesty's habit, this matter must be investigated to the end. All the people who lead the organization must be escorted to Beijing. This matter still needs to be investigated in detail."

Pei Lun put down all kinds of documentary evidence in his hand, nodded and said, "Three people have been found now, after detailed investigation, but they joined forces, and they will all be arrested."

"I'm going to contact Wei Cong, the commander of the Shandong capital, to prevent things from changing. How many people do you have?"

Tang Xing nodded and said: "I have 300 Tiqi cavalry, and Tang Zhan, the general manager of Rencheng Guards, can mobilize [-] people, and the commander of Shandong Province will summon [-] guards to stand by to prevent chaos."

Li Binyan sniffed and said, "It's enough."

"This matter must not be rushed, otherwise there will be grievances, and it must not be slow, otherwise Xiao Xiao will think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of and make trouble."

"Within three days, we must catch all of them!"

Li Binyan hung up Yinshou, the right servant of the Ministry of official affairs, and the governor of Shandong Province. He has various administrative, military, supervisory and judicial powers in a province.

In the 19th year of Yongle, Emperor Taizong Wen sent 26 people, including Jian Yi, to patrol the world and appease the army and civilians as the governors of the world.

In the first year of Hongxi, the functions of the governor were formally determined, and in the fifth year of Xuande, the governor's place was officially determined to be the official seal of the capital, with great power.

Li Binyan continued: "It was only when I arrived in Shandong that I realized that there are most thieves in Shandong! The most famous ones are thieves!"

"But I, Li, don't hate thieves, nor do I hate Shandong people."

"Qufu and Yanzhou prefectures are the places where the most holy teachers are the first to be good! But the people here are more difficult to live than the people in Shaanxi!"

"Why?"

"Just because they have a Confucian mansion on their heads!"

"Must be sure to hear it in detail, so please make a decision!"

"The place where the most holy teacher is the most benevolent, it can't continue to be so rotten!"

After Li Binyan finished speaking, he sneezed heavily, but his vigor remained undiminished. Suddenly, he frowned, because he heard a very noisy voice.

"What sound?!" Li Binyan said with a frown, his complexion changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Take the Yongle Sword bestowed by His Majesty!"

Li Binyan drew out the three-foot Yongle sword, and a cold light flashed across the station. He stood up straight, opened the door on the second floor, and walked down.

"Jinyiwei!"

Tang Xing naturally heard it too, pressed the table, pulled out the Xiuchun knife, and shouted loudly: "The knife is out of its sheath! If there is any abnormal movement, shoot and kill!"

There was the sound of hurried running throughout the station.

　Today is still four more!Ask for a ticket.The impeachment of Kong Yanjin by Kong Kexu, the great-uncle of Kong Yanjin, was the Xinyou article in October of the sixth year of Jingtai. The original text: Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin could not humble his clansmen, and the 54th generation Sun Kexun of the ancestors was elected as the patriarch, and the 57th generation Sun Xun was the county magistrate. , did not agree with the opinions of the public, so the uncle of the Yanjin clan, Kexu, etc., went up to expose Yanjin's irregularities and evils, and Yanjin also played Kexu and others. On the other hand, it's a half theory of love and hypocrisy. Kexu and others died and were not accepted by the tribe. It is advisable to choose it instead.
