Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 318 Fishing in Troubled Waters ([-])

The land of China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and everything should be done in accordance with etiquette, and the travel of officials is also the same. What kind of treatment officials of any rank should enjoy are all clearly stipulated, and the official clothes of a few ranks There are mandatory regulations on how big the sedan chair should be, and even the color of the sedan chair, which is absolutely unavoidable. Fortunately, officials of the Ministry of Punishment neither ride sedan chairs nor ride horses, and just line up on the street like this The parade is a spectacle throughout the ages, let alone unprecedented since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, even up to now, there has never been such a situation in all dynasties, and it is inevitable that it will cause a sensation in the capital.

The people in the capital are different from other places. After turning around a few corners, they will definitely be able to establish a relationship with the princes and nobles. He followed behind with great interest and watched the excitement, and made comments from time to time. There was endless gossip about which official walked vigorously, which official was a hunchback, and so on. The wind brought out the story of Yinreng's "killing people and killing people", so the people all over the city were in an uproar, scolding Yinreng, and 10,000+ people left the city in such a lively manner, shouting loudly. Going to Changchun Garden...

When things got to this point, it was natural that there was a lot of commotion. Before the parade had even left the gate of the capital, some people rushed to report to the Changchun Garden. It happened that the old man Kangxi favored a newcomer yesterday. Concubine, it must have been a toss, and she hasn't gotten up yet. The messenger didn't have the guts to alarm Sheng Jia, so he sent someone to notify the ministers in the study room on duty.Today, it was supposed to be the turn of Prince Yi Yinzuo and Zhang Tingyu, the two ministers of the study, but Yinzuo took sick leave early in the morning, and Ma Qi, who was supposed to be on duty tomorrow, had to step up. The two study ministers are old acquaintances, and they didn't have much to say. They each immersed themselves in reviewing the papers. When they heard such shocking news, they couldn't sit still. They hurriedly got up, and didn't care about the minister He ran out of Danningju as if he was flying, and ran out of the garden in a stumbling manner. While running, he asked someone to report Li Dequan, the eunuch for ceremonies, so that he had to report the matter to Mr. Kangxi first no matter what.

Ma Qi is the old prime minister for more than ten years, and he can still hold his breath. When he left the Changchun Garden, he immediately called He Tie, the deputy commander of the inner guard who was in charge of the first garden, to his side: "Master He, order the Shanpu camp to be on alert. , No one is allowed to enter the garden even if he has not received the imperial edict, and those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!"

Ma Qi, who is also the minister of the guards, has the right to give orders to the officers and soldiers of the Shanpu camp. He Tie's scarred face trembled, and he bowed to promise, and quickly called several first-class guards to his side, and put the guards on guard. The mission was arranged, and besides the more than [-] soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion guarding the Changchun Garden, the other [-] soldiers with their swords and guns out of their sheaths lined up in a rigorous formation as if they were facing an enemy. Everyone stared nervously at the turbulent crowd rolling in the distance.

Four legs always run faster than two legs, Yinfeng, who started late, led a few guards of the palace and rushed to the front of the formation of Shanpu camp, reined in the horse and jumped off, never thinking about it, staggered, He almost fell to the ground at this moment, but fortunately, the guard who followed behind him was quick and helped Yinfeng, so he didn't lose face on the spot.Yinfeng didn't care too much, and panting, he ran to Ma and Zhang, two ministers in the upper study room, and said anxiously: "Master Ma, Lord Zhang, the Ministry of Punishment has rebelled, hurry up, transfer Xishan Jianrui Camp to Wei Shengshang, hurry up ! Go!"

Not to mention that Ma and Zhang have no right to mobilize the Xishan Jianrui Camp, even if they have the right, they will not just listen to Yinreng's one-sided words and act rashly.After Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu looked at each other, they looked at Yinfeng and said, "My lord, what's going on? I really don't know the details? My lord..."

Before Ma Qi finished speaking, Yinfeng interrupted Ma Qi's words with a wave of his hand unceremoniously, and shouted: "Get out of the way, this king wants to see Huang Ama, that dirty little official of the Ministry of Punishment, a low-grade dog How dare you listen to Lao Ba's instigation and commit treasonous acts, this king wants to ask Huang Ama to uphold justice, get out of here!"

Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu are both cunning and scheming people, and the city is very deep. Although they don't know the cause of the incident, they do know one thing - the master in front of him has been dizzy from anger. Of course, the instigation of the eighth master is indispensable behind the scenes. Yinfeng is in a hurry to face the saint, but he intends that the villain will sue first.The situation is urgent at this time, God knows whether Yinreng will assassinate and threaten the Holy Majesty, at this critical moment, how can such an unstable person like Yinreng be allowed to rush into the garden, if something happens, the big guy has a few heads. Chopped.

Although Zhang Tingyu's position in Shangshufang is under Ma Qi, but he also holds the title of Prince Shaobao, who happens to be in charge of this group of elder brothers. Seeing that Yinfeng has lost his mind at this moment, he immediately stepped forward One step at a time, he shouted: "My lord, don't be restless, the garden has been sealed, and no one is allowed to enter without the sacred order." Then, ignoring the anger on Yinfeng's face, he turned around and said to He Tie: "Master He, you are ready, who dares to enter?" Break through, shoot and kill!"

He Tie pulled out the big knife in his waist with a "swish", and roared: "Boys, cheer up, whoever dares to act rashly will be killed without mercy!" The army responded loudly, and the sound shook the sky.

Yinreng's eyes were filled with anger, but seeing He Tie's dead face with no expression and the shining steel knife in his hand, he had to swallow his saliva, forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart, and stood there with a dark face. aside.

It was too late, and soon, the surging crowd would have already arrived outside the garden. Facing the shining knives and guns in the hands of the Shanpu camp soldiers, the crowd of black crows did not flinch, but no one opened their mouths. Speaking, 10,000+ people just quietly filled the wide open space outside the garden, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. At this time, as long as there is a little spark, it will lead to a big change. No matter how calm Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu are , At this time, I was very panicked, but the two of them have been ministers of the upper study for many years, and the city is deep, and they can still stabilize the situation.

Ma Qi took a step forward, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "You are all officials ordered by the imperial court, you should know the laws of the country, what crime should you be guilty of when you die in this gathering of people, there is no need for me to say more, if you startle the holy car, you and I How can there be life? Why don't you retreat quickly!"

The crowd was silent, no one answered Ma Qi's words, but they didn't seem to retreat, they just stood there quietly.A thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Ma Qi's forehead, and he quickly glanced at the dozens of officials standing in the front row, such as Langzhong and Yuanwailang, and suddenly smiled and said: "Liu Shun, Chengquan , if I remember correctly, the two of you were Jinshi in the 30th year of Kangxi. I was ordered to be the examiner at the beginning, so you two should be my disciples, right?"

Both Liu Shun and Cheng Quan are fourth-rank doctors, and they are considered to be one of the highest officials among the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. At this time, seeing the teacher speak, they had no choice but to step forward and said: "Student Liu Shun (Cheng Quan) Quan) met the teacher."

"Haha, excuse me, excuse me, well, the old man has always disliked being in charge, and he didn't promote you on weekdays. I feel sorry for you as a teacher. What happened today? Can you see For the sake of the old man, let me tell you first?" Ma Qi laughed and said.

Ma Qi is an old man. Among the ministers in the study room, he is qualified to be an old man except Li Guangdi. If he wants to rely on his old man to sell his old man, no one can do anything to him. It's embarrassing even if you don't follow the teacher's way, the two doctors looked at each other, but there was nothing good to do, so they had to bite the bullet and answer.Liu Shun bowed his body and described the incident in detail. Of course, he did not forget to add fuel and vinegar, and described Yinreng's ugly appearance. The implication was that the officials of the Ministry of Punishment really couldn't stand Yinreng and his group. The one who went against the grain and had no choice but to ask the face saint to seek justice, and thanks to Liu Shun's good acting skills, at the end he choked up sobbing incoherently, as if he had been greatly wronged.In line with Liu Shun's narration, the gang of officials from the Ministry of Punishment suddenly started yelling nonsense, clamoring for the face of the emperor, and asking Mr. Kangxi to come forward and uphold justice.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Ma Qi's sweat had already soaked the official uniform, and he hurriedly shouted: "Silence! Silence! Everyone, just listen to what I have to say!" After finally calming down everyone, Ma Qi said loudly "Your request, I will report it to the sage, but you should know that the act of gathering the crowd is absolutely unacceptable, and you should all go back to the Yamen. If the sage blames you, no one will be able to protect you!" It was dead silent, no one paid any attention to Ma Qi's words, Ma Qi saw that it was impossible to go on like this, he immediately looked at Liu Shun and Cheng Quan and said: "Master Liu, Master Cheng, the ministers of the study above the official level, the ministers in charge of the guards, and the ministers of the official department, Well, in the name of your two teachers, I order you two to take your subordinates back immediately, if not, don’t blame me for not talking about the friendship between teachers and students!"

Facing the pressure from Ma Qi, Liu and Cheng obviously couldn't bear it any longer. Even if they were given a little more courage in this limelight, they would not dare to fight against Comrade Ma. The problem is that there is no figure of Eighth Master now. If Ma Qi is offended, even if Eighth Master wants to protect them, he may not be able to keep them. Anyway, his life is more important than anything else, isn't it?Liu and Cheng hesitated for a moment, turned around, and planned to ask their subordinates to retreat first.

People always follow the crowd. As long as someone retreats first, the people's hearts will be scattered, and if they do work again, this farce should be over.Seeing that a catastrophe was about to be resolved, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu both heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that they were lucky, but unexpectedly, Yinfeng who had been standing silently by the side shouted suddenly: "Anyone can go, those people All those who are in charge and above are left to this king! Servants are exempt, and those who make troubles are unforgivable!" Yinfeng didn't say this, but after saying that, the gang of officials who had already retreated Instead, they didn't leave, and they all glared at Yinfeng silently, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

Yinfeng's words were obviously intentional, and he naturally had other calculations in his mind. The left and right were just planning to take this opportunity to completely defeat Lao Ba. How could such a carefulness be hidden from Ma and Zhang? It's just that in the current situation However, Ma and Zhang are bound to be unable to expose Yinreng's intentions in public. Furthermore, it's hard to say whether the followers are serious or not. The pen and post style may not be spared.At this moment, Ma and Zhang were obviously a little messed up, and they didn't know how to explain it. The 10,000+ people on the scene were deadlocked together, and there was no other movement except for the sound of breathing getting louder.At the right time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and they parted, more than a hundred horsemen and horses passed through the crowd, among them was the prince Yinzhen, the king of Yongjun, who was guarding him in neat uniforms.

Yinzhen got off the saddle, nodded to Yinreng, then looked at Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu and said: "You two Zhongtang, I heard that there are gangsters planning to gather a crowd to force them to drive, so I will lead the royal guards to escort them! " Yinzhen's words clearly stood on Yinfeng's side, pointing out that the officials of the Ministry of punishment were rebellious. Anyone who is not a fool can understand the meaning of the words. When Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu heard Yinzhen's words that added fuel to the fire, they immediately My heart was cold, and before I could answer, Yinreng who was standing aside immediately said loudly: "Fourth brother, you came just in time, these bastards dare not let this king see you, let's go, you and my brother will face the Holy Spirit together!" go."

Yinzhen nodded, and asked with surprise on his face: "Master Ma, Master Zhang, when did the Holy Majesty say that he would not see me? Could it be that you two falsely preached the imperial decree?"

Xu Zhen's words became cold, and a big hat of false imperial decree was buckled down. Rao Ma and Zhang were too powerful to hold back, Ma Qi sweated profusely: "The Holy Majesty never issued an edict, but……"

Yinzhen interrupted Ma Qi's words unceremoniously: "Since the Holy Majesty has not issued an edict, you are acting recklessly if you wait, step back, and this king will hand over the sign to face the Holy Spirit!"

A group of elder brothers are not good scumbags. If Yinfeng and Yinzhen are allowed to enter the garden, God knows how much trouble will be caused. Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu are afraid that their lives will be lost. Naturally, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu are aware of this, and those officials from the Ministry of Punishment are not stupid, so they naturally know the pros and cons. The big guys handed over the sign to face saints together, so what's the point of a villain who has no place to sue first?"

"Correct!"

"Yes."

"That's right!"

……

The originally silent crowd suddenly became noisy, chattering non-stop, and even shouted slogans to get rid of the traitor king, and the scene got a little out of control again.He Tie was born as a horse thief, so he has a good way to deal with wolves. Seeing the green light in the eyes of these officials, like a group of wolves who are about to choose someone to eat, he immediately shouted: "Boys, listen to your orders!" ! Those who take a step forward will be killed without mercy!"

More than two thousand sergeants of the Shanpu Battalion shouted three times at the same time: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The murderous aura overflowed from the shocking shouts, and immediately suppressed the out-of-control scene temporarily.Facing the murderous aura soaring into the sky, all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't help beating drums in their hearts, and quietly stepped back a few steps. When they were each thinking about whether they should disperse, there was another commotion behind the crowd, and a burst of cheers sounded: "The third master is here, and the eighth master is also here."

After the crowd surged for a while, a large row of sedan chairs came, and not only the third and eighth children came, except for Yin Zuo who didn't come, the fifth to the twelfth all came, and a large group of elder brothers left behind. The sedan chair, led by the two princes, the third and the eighth, walked to the front slowly.

The third eldest among the elder brothers is the prince, so he naturally walked in the front. After greeting Yinfeng and Yinzhen with a smile on his face, he gave Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu a smile and said: "Master Ma, Lord Zhang Thank you for your hard work, I am one step late, forgive me, forgive me, alas, what is going on today, there are people who want to stir up disputes, make some sort of settlement, and kill people to silence them, alas, I really can't understand Well, yes, I will trouble you two adults to wait for the report, and say that my brothers and I will face the Holy Spirit, so that we can avenge the officials who died wronged."

It's fine if Yinzhi doesn't open his mouth. Once he opened his mouth, he made clear his position. It was obvious that he was on the side of Lao Ba. Now, the elder brothers are divided into two factions, with a prince and a county king on each side, which seems to be powerful Quite, but Lao Ba is not only standing with a large group of officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but also with seven or eight elder brothers. The large number of people has already occupied an overwhelming advantage. Yuanzi only asked for the report, and there was nothing wrong with what he said, which made the two brothers Yinfeng and Yinzhen look ashen but helpless.Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu saw that the elder brothers were already in trouble, and each complained in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do. After all, there was really nothing wrong with Yinzhi's words, so Ma Qi could only smile and nodded: " Prince Cheng, please wait a moment, the next official will report to the Holy Majesty in person, everything will naturally be decided by the Holy Majesty."

Ma Qi has been gone for a long time, but he never turned back. The third brother and the eighth brother are not in a hurry. There was nothing they could do, so they walked together slowly, discussing in a low voice, and the scene stalemate strangely...

The farce at the gate of Changchun Garden could not be concealed from the investigation by "Honghu" in Yinzuo's hands. As for the specific situation, Yinzuo already knew it by heart. It is clear that there is not much time left before I play, if some hands and feet are not confessed at this time, I am afraid that it will be troublesome at that time.Before the head, the Dark Arrow No. 17 has sent a report, No. [-] has been succeeded, Shen Ye and others who were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Ministry have been eliminated, and no one was injured by the "Dark Arrow". Went to another place; No. [-] is also close to the target, and got a prescription of the old man Kangxi's medicine, but the Changchun Garden is blocked, and No. [-] can't leave for the time being, so he can only hint at the "backstabbing" personnel hiding in the crowd, and the operation went smoothly , As for the physical condition of the old man Kangxi, a conclusion can only be made after analyzing the prescription.Time is running out, Yinzuo quickly finished the task, said hello to Wu and Lin, and left the inner study room to the outer study room.

"Brother Six." The old Fourteen, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up immediately when he saw Yinzuo entered the door of the study outside, and said, "Brother Six, there has already been a commotion outside, you are still safe." Wait, it’s true, I called my younger brother early in the morning, but I didn’t even say hello, well, there’s nothing to watch after such a commotion.”

Yinzuo was worried that the old fourteen would go to join in the fun. As soon as the affairs of the Ministry of punishment started, Yinzuo had people call the old fourteen into his house. Now listening to the complaints of the old fourteen, Yinzuo haha He smiled and said: "Boy, you and your brother are still doing this, hey, look at the excitement? You kid will be so honest? Come on, this matter is very deep, don't go around if you have nothing to do, Huang Ama's board is not It’s so hard to bear, you, just stay here honestly for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere.”

"Sixth brother, look at what you said, is the little brother so unbearable?" The old fourteen was exposed by Yinzuo, so he had to stick out his tongue, made a face, and said happily: "Sixth brother, the second child is so stupid. This is a good opportunity, and we don’t need to do much, just choose among them, hey, let them kill them, it’s best to kill them until the blood flows into rivers, and then, see How will they end up, Huang..."

Damn it, Old Fourteen is such a ruthless brat, damn it, if he is really allowed to do this, the world will not be in chaos.There was a chill in Yinzuo's heart, and he quickly stopped the old fourteen's words and said: "Old fourteen, what are you talking about, Huang Ama is still watching from above, if Huang Ama knows that your kid is messing around, even my mother will I can't keep you, just stay there."

The old fourteen smiled, and was about to answer when Zhou Yongcheng walked in and said, "Your Highness, Fourteenth Lord, the imperial decree has arrived, and I want the two masters to go and receive the decree."

Well, it came so fast, how did the old man know that the old fourteenth must be in our house?Damn, there's something wrong here!Suspicion suddenly flashed in Yinzuo's heart, but he didn't express anything in particular, he just nodded and said: "Well, this king knows, open the middle door to receive the order."
