Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 696 Rebellion with senior "Zuo Ming", so happy!

"After Gao Qiu went to Suian Academy, he went back to the Imperial City Department and never came out again?"

After listening to his subordinates' report, Zhao Tingzhi showed a look of deep thought.

Although he was far less favored than Wu Juhou in Shenzong's first dynasty, he walked steadily step by step. The prime minister is only one step away.

He knew very well that once Ding Run was captured, the chancellor's position would be firmly established and he would never be able to escape, but this person was indeed difficult to catch, so he returned to Yushitai and immediately sent someone to monitor Gao Li's movements.

At this time, a group of underage inspectors stood behind them, all of whom were trusted backbones. Someone suggested: "Before that, the thief Ding also had contacts with the academy, so he should be severely investigated and punished, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Zhao Tingzhi shook his head: "This is a theory of picking out flaws and covering up strengths, not a moderate statement."

Everyone was stunned. The meaning of choosing flaws to cover up goodness was to deliberately pick on the spots on the jade and bury its brilliance. How could He De of Suian College get such an evaluation?
Zhao Tingzhi explained: "This academy was founded by Lin Erlang. This son is indifferent to fame and fortune. He is a humble gentleman who enlightens wisdom through learning and cultivates integrity through etiquette and righteousness. How can he make a decision without asking why?"

Everyone showed admiration. At this juncture, they could deal with it fairly and take care of the younger generation. If Zhao Zhongcheng is not the prime minister, who can do it?

Zhao Tingzhi remembered that his son Zhao Mingcheng once mentioned that in the case of Taixue, Lin Chong let him avoid the storm, so that he was not affected by it.

After the two do not owe each other, it is time to get down to business: "However, if you associate with the two thieves and stain your name, you will inevitably regret it in the future. You send someone to keep an eye on the academy secretly, and if necessary, tell Lin Erlang. If Ding thief shows up, let him immediately Cooperate and catch the thief together!"

The subordinate took the lead: "Yes!"

Compared to a mere private academy, Zhao Tingzhi still cares more about the Secretary of the Imperial City: "Gao Qiu must keep an eye on him. This person is inseparable from the Ding thief, and he is in trouble. He is punished by the government. I am afraid that he will be poor." All the evidence, revealing the original face of a traitor, this kind of criminal evidence, we Yushitai must be the first to grasp it!"

Everyone suddenly agreed: "Yes!"

Seeing many cronies leave, another confidant said: "Zhong Cheng, Bandit Ding is arrogant and fierce, we must guard against him continuing to do evil!"

Zhao Tingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, the scene when he parted with Wu Juhou last night was vivid in his memory, today is an eternity between heaven and man, although he is an opponent in the competition for prime minister, but if he said that there was no slight touch, it would be false, and he was even more vigilant: "Do you have any competent people to recommend?"

The cronies looked at each other in blank dismay.

In fact, in terms of personal force, among the Beijing officials known so far, I am afraid that Ding Run belongs to the most outstanding force, so of course the person recommended must choose the first-grade strongman: "The next official recommends the martial arts man Hu Yanzhuo, this person is After the gate, you are brave and strong, and you can catch the thief!"

Zhao Tingzhi frowned: "Hu Yanzhuo..."

Just by hearing this surname, one would know that it came from the general Huyan family. His ancestor Hu Yanzan killed thieves with all his heart, fought south and north, and was loyal to the Song Dynasty. This Hu Yanzhuo has superb martial arts skills, which is normal.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Tingzhi continued to ask: "Are there any other candidates?"

The confidant immediately understood that this Zhongcheng didn't want the general to make any contribution to this matter, after thinking for a while, someone said: "The lower officials recommended Qin Ming, Jinyong's second lieutenant. "

Zhao Tingzhi nodded: "Call this Qin Ming here."

After more than half an hour, Qin Ming came to the front, bowed and saluted, and said in a low voice: "The humble Qin Ming, I have seen Zhao Zhongcheng!"

Seeing this burly figure and imposing manner, Zhao Tingzhi nodded slightly. Compared with the family of military generals who had been intertwined for a long time, this low-level warrior is naturally more attractive to him. He asked the left and right to explain the situation, and asked peacefully: " Is Vice-Captain Qin confident of capturing that thief?"

Although he was called to work overtime before the first day of the new year was over, Qin Ming couldn't contain his joy when he saw the old man in purple robe. It was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of. He clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Have confidence!!"

The sound was so loud that Zhao Tingzhi was taken aback. Immediately, a patrolman dragged Qin Ming over and began to educate this rough guy.

Most of the warriors in Zhao Tingzhi's heart are people who can't stand on the stage, which is not surprising, but seeing Qin Mingyong's reckless and reckless appearance, he is not at ease to entrust his own safety on such a person, and let his subordinates continue to screen .

Someone soon recommended: "I remember that there was a young general in the imperial army, named Dong Ping, who was good at wielding two guns. In the army, I don't know if it is still in Beijing..."

Zhao Tingzhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it just to expel the imperial army?"

He also paid attention to the incident of the Ming Zunjiao before, and he knew very well that the arrest of the Imperial City Division would rather arrest people by mistake than let them go. Dong Ping became interested: "Go and find this Dong Ping. If he is still in the capital, bring him to see me."

Dong Ping was obviously not easy to find, and he was not brought here until night fell.

But compared to Qin Ming's wildness and vulgarity, the first impression he gave Zhao Tingzhi was quite good, with a handsome face and a smart temperament. !"

Zhao Tingzhi stroked his beard and smiled: "Dong Shaolang, please, do you understand why the old man invited you here?"

Dong Ping immediately said: "Xiaomin knows it well, and it is even more desirable. Hearing the bad news of Wu Longtu, Xiaomin is also hit by thunder, and Ding is full of evil. How can he be allowed to continue to be rampant?"

Zhao Tingzhi liked these righteous men, nodded his head and said, "I heard that your cousin is an insider of a cult?"

Dong Ping thought of his cousin Dong Fu who had been executed by the downtown, and showed resentment: "The little people have a heart to serve the country, but they were misled by those evil thieves. I wish I could tear him to pieces with my own hands!"

Zhao Tingzhi said: "Okay! Since you have the righteousness to destroy relatives and the heart of loyalty to the emperor and serve the country, this old man will give you this opportunity. This time, I will take credit for you for taking down the thief, and the officials will definitely reward you a lot!"

Dong Ping was overjoyed, and knelt down again: "Thank you Zhongcheng!"

With Qin Ming and Dong Ping, and hundreds of elite imperial troops, the key is the equipment of strong bows and crossbows. Against Ding Run alone, in terms of military equipment, Zhao Tingzhi thinks that he is safe.

Next, is how to find the other party's whereabouts.

Under normal circumstances, with the efficiency of the Song government, the investigation would not be completed until the Lantern Festival. Fortunately, the prefect of Kaifeng died this time. The court was furious. Under Zhao Tingzhi's repeated urging, the situation of various aspects has been initially summarized:
"There is no property left in the Ding thief's house. It seems that it has been premeditated. This beast is extremely vicious and has embezzled at least tens of thousands of money. It is inconvenient to transport it away on horseback, unless you use a horse-drawn cart, but there is no suspicious horse-drawn cart passing through the city gate. , and there is no trace of the waterway, it seems that the thief is still hiding in Beijing."

"In the wanted notice, add the news that he has a family fortune of [-] yuan. The wealth is touching. Jiang Huzi will not be able to resist this temptation, and then let the soldiers of various military patrol shops cooperate with the fast-track archers to search carefully from house to house. , now is the New Year's Eve, family reunion, and easy to search!"

"Don't be afraid to startle the snake, it's a great achievement to force the thief out!"

After completing a series of deployments, Zhao Tingzhi waved his sleeves confidently:

"Ding thief, you can't escape!"

……

"Just those idiots above, they can't catch me for the rest of their lives!"

Ding Run walked in the passage in Wuyou Cave, looked at the neat stone walls all around, and suddenly said, "Why does this place have a strange feeling?"

Gongsun Zhao, who was walking in front, said, "This is the formation that Taoist Master Dongyun and I set up together. It's called the Earth Curtain Formation. When the formation is successful, we can call craftsmen to come in and transform the Worriless Cave."

Ding Run was stunned at first, and then realized: "Senior 'Zuo Ming' wouldn't want to build Wuyou Cave into an underground camp to let soldiers enter Bianjing, right? That's a good idea. Kill all the dog officials!"

Gongsun Zhao frowned: "Killing officials can only be done for a moment's pleasure. It's wrong to use literature to suppress martial arts. If you use martial arts to suppress literature, the world will be in chaos. Brother, are you planning to return to the troubled times of the Five Dynasties? The people will suffer in the end! "

Ding Run scratched his head: "That's what I said. Naturally, it is impossible to kill all the courtiers, but I really like to be responsible for the momentary pleasure. You implement long-term plans..."

Gongsun Zhao laughed: "This is what a senior brother would say."

Ding Run said solemnly: "Don't think that killing officials is useless, do you still remember Yongyang County King and Yongjia County King? If those two county kings hadn't been killed, I wouldn't have thought of killing the prefect of Kaifeng, let alone It's all over the place!"

"And now I really dare to do anything, even enter the palace and kill the Hunjun. As long as I am sure of success, I will not say a word, just go there with a knife..."

"Not only me, but others will think so too!"

Gongsun Zhao said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean, every incident of killing foreign relatives and high-ranking officials will greatly damage the prestige of the court. ..."

Hearing his tone, Ding Run was a little depressed: "I know what you were most worried about before was that the court's prestige was gone and the world was in chaos, but as far as I can see, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. Anyway, this world is going to force people to turn against you." , since it cannot be maintained, it is better to break it quickly, establish a new dynasty, the people live and work in peace, and we can be officials again!"

"Easier said than done..."

Gongsun Zhao gave a wry smile, just raised his head, his eyes were already looking forward, and Ding Run looked over at the same time.

Suddenly, the front opened up, and in the center of the huge cave, a stalwart figure in a toga stood with his hands behind his back.

Ding Run was overjoyed, and immediately walked forward quickly, clasping his fists heavily: "Senior 'Zoming', I have come to rebel with you!"
