Wudang

Chapter 66

Zhang Junbao and his party did not stop at the gate of the city, and left quickly.

He doesn't care about the life and death of the forehead, anyway, this guy is bound to die.

After leaving the city, it was Aunt Jiang who was beside Fang Yilian who met Prime Minister Wen.

Aunt Jiang left the city before the fake prince entered the city, as a support outside the city.

She is Fang Yilian's confidant.

For such a big event, there can be no slight mistake, Fang Yilian naturally has to send the most trusted person to take charge.

Regarding the matter of Wanshou Daozang, we have to wait for these things to pass before going to Prime Minister Wen, hoping to get some clues from him.

The real person who is a disciple of the Quanzhen sect pretended to be by Prime Minister Wen is also here.

After Prime Minister Wen and Aunt Jiang left, he joined Zhang Junbao and his party, with the same number and same people.

There were already many officers, soldiers, wolf guards, and eagle guards spies outside the city, and they scattered in the direction where the high monk was escaping.

"Going north first and then turning around to go south?" Zhang Junbao smiled after hearing Miao Daoyi's words, "Then we will chase south."

Miao Daoyi got the news through the channel of Quanzhen Sect.

Regarding hunting down the demon monk Gao Monk, they didn't expect to catch someone, and they didn't want to really catch him.

That demon monk's skills are unfathomable, if he really encounters him, his line of work may be in danger.

Moreover, this great achievement had to be given to the court or the wolf guards, otherwise it would be impossible to explain to Kublai Khan.

No matter what, it's not easy to take credit for this.

Even if you take it, you have to give it up.

As for the battle between Buddhism and Taoism that Eunuch Gou thought about, that was because he thought too much.

How could Zhang Junbao have such thoughts, they just wanted to use this excuse to send Prime Minister Wen out of the city.

So they are in front of the officers and soldiers and behind the wolf guards, so that they can avoid competing for credit with the wolf guards.

This time, the wolf guards and the eagle guards could be said to have committed a huge dereliction of duty, and it would be unjustifiable if they couldn't catch the mastermind of the assassin.

The next day, that is, the morning of March [-], Monk Gao was arrested at a place called Gaoliang River.

Hearing this news, Zhang Junbao, Miao Dao and his party returned to Dadu with 'regret' on their faces.

The court blocked the news of Ahema's death at first, but found that the news had already spread.

By dawn on the [-]th, the news spread throughout the capital.

Most of the people were jubilant.

Compared with the happiness of the common people, the officialdom of the imperial court is full of gloom.

At least on the surface.

The death of the prime minister does not know how many officials will be affected.

Of course, many officials are happy in their hearts and dare not show it now, especially those from the prince's real gold group.

As soon as Ahema died, the prince faction naturally became dominant.

For the next few days, Zhang Junbao stayed in the Changchun Palace and did not go out, so everything is a bit chaotic now.

Although the so-called assassin leader was caught, the wolf guards and eagle guards are still arresting people, trying to find out if there is a mastermind behind the scenes.

For a while, there was a lot of turmoil, and most people didn't know how many people were thrown into the prison, even the prison of the Wolf Guard.

There are also many people who were escorted back from other places.

On March 22, Wang Zhu, Monk Gao and the arrested assassins were executed at Caishikou, and they were finally chopped into meat sauce.

The handling is not unpleasant.

It stands to reason that for such an assassination and such a major case, the mastermind would have to be tried again after being caught.

It's not like people were killed within three days of being caught now.

Zhang Junbao became even more suspicious when he heard it.

He would not believe that there was no one behind the scenes.

Kublai Khan wanted to quell the matter as soon as possible, and what would allow him to do so must involve someone close to him.

Then there is a great suspicion of real gold.

Zhang Junbao believes that everyone can guess something in their hearts, but they don't dare to say it.

Who dares to expose this matter?

Kublai Khan buried Ahema generously and comforted Ahema's relatives.

But Zhang Junbao knew that it would not be long before Kublai Khan was flooded with all kinds of memorials to impeach Ahema.

Ahema would be slaughtered by Kublai Khan, and the body would be thrown to wild dogs to eat.

As for his relatives, his wife and children are naturally assigned, those who are slaves are slaves, and those who are beheaded are beheaded.

Zhang Junbao didn't believe that Kublai Khan didn't know Ahema's greedy and domineering behavior.

It can be said that he saw all these.

It's just because Ahema can get him money, whether it's tax increases, salt iron, medicinal materials and other monopoly, Ahema is competent in helping Kublai Khan get money, and he is in line with Kublai Khan's wishes, otherwise Kublai Khan will Lie would not defend Ahema like this.

But Ahema's making money is to take away the people's fat and anointment, coupled with his own endless greed, countless people have been persecuted by him.

Opening Ahema's coffin and slaughtering his body was used to appease the anger of everyone.

All the crimes belonged to Ahema, and it was all done by Ahema, and had nothing to do with Kublai Khan.

This is the person at the top, and the people below will be responsible for bad things and take the blame.

"I heard that most of the people are panicking and arresting people everywhere." Five days later, Miao Daoyi came over and said to Zhang Junbao.

A few days after Ahema was buried, the imperial court began to impeach Ahema. After checking the facts, Kublai Khan changed his attitude and opened a museum to kill Ahema.

"Ahema's party?" Zhang Junbao could guess.

With the downfall of Ahmad, there is no good end for his accomplices, who are destined to be purged.

"No one sympathizes with these accomplices when they die, but some people are labeled as Ahema's accomplices just because they have some relationship with Ahema, and they are all sentenced to severe punishments. Everyone is in danger," Miao said. One said.

Zhang Junbao understood, and the situation escalated.

This kind of person who should be executed below has expanded the scope of attack.

Zhang Junbao couldn't help thinking of Yusheng Commercial Bank, they must also be included in the scope of liquidation.

Although he learned from Miao Dao that there is nothing wrong with Yusheng Trading Company for the time being, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later.

Zhang Junbao didn't have the ability to protect Yusheng Commercial Bank, but he wanted to protect the lives of Yu Huwen's family, so he kept Miao Dao's group watching.

"Uncle Master, there is an eunuch in the palace who has come to tell you to come over." A disciple ran over and shouted.

"Isn't there Master Zhang?" Miao Daoyi was a little puzzled.

Zhang Junbao was also a little surprised. Now that Qi Zhicheng is in seclusion, Zhang Zhixian takes care of all the affairs of the Quanzhen Sect. Even if he wants to speak up, Zhang Zhixian is enough. What did he do in the past?
Master's sake?
Zhang Junbao shook his head and sighed, then went to hear what Kublai Khan had to say.

Because it was an oral order, the eunuch did not make Zhang Junbao and Zhang Zhixian kneel down.

The eunuch quickly repeated Kublai Khan's oral instructions.

There is a warning in the words.

It is mainly about Quanzhen Sect and Ahema getting closer recently, which is beating Quanzhen Sect.

"Your Majesty also asked, what does Quanzhen Sect think about Ahema?" the eunuch asked before leaving.

Zhang Zhixian thought for a while and said, "Ahema deceived his superiors and his subordinates, used his power for personal gain, he should be killed, he should be killed..."

Zhang Zhixian naturally demoted Ahema to death, after all, Ahema had already been characterized.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixian had finished speaking, the eunuch looked at Zhang Junbao and asked, "Is Daoist Zhang the same way?"

"Of course, Ahema deserves to die." Zhang Junbao replied flatly, "But there are some things I don't agree with."

Zhang Zhixian tugged at Zhang Junbao's sleeve, wanting him to stop talking so as not to cause trouble.

What I said just now is to follow the crowd, and no one can find anything wrong.

Zhang Junbao ignored Zhang Zhixian, he still wanted to say something.

"Zhang Daoist, please tell me." The eunuch asked calmly.

This eunuch was about sixty years old, and such an eunuch had a high status in the palace, and most of them were eunuchs trusted by Kublai Khan's side.

Zhang Junbao was still worried about some things that he didn't know what to do, since Kublai Khan came to ask him, then he had nothing to hesitate, it would be good to fight for it.
