A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Someone is wrong."

Ma Bi suddenly roared, startling Shen An who was about to say something harsh.

"wrong?"

Shen An didn't know what he wanted to do, but decided not to say anything and watched coldly. If something goes wrong, he doesn't mind breaking this guy's hands. When the time comes, all his limbs will be broken, and he will be a useless person.

Ma Bi wiped the blood on his face and choked on a mouthful of blood. He swallowed it and said, "A certain person knows the privacy of many powerful people..."

"roll!"

Shen An turned around suddenly, and the waiter outside was so frightened that his face turned pale and he shouted: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen An didn't say silence, but told him to get lost, which was really good.

When he looked back, Shen An said with a ferocious smile: "Then let's go to the Imperial City Division."

"good!"

Since he decided to betray his brother, he had to do it completely. Shen An felt that the Imperial City Division would be very lively today.

Later he took the three of them to the Imperial City Division. Zhang had just returned eight years ago and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. When he saw him coming, he couldn't help but look fierce.

"That's...good news."

Shen An knew that he had deceived Zhang once in eight years, so he quickly raised his hand.

"What good news?"

Zhang Baibian glanced at the miserable three people and felt better knowing that Shen An relied on the dirty information he had given him to do the crime.

Shen An said: "Ma Bi is willing to confess what he knows..."

He handed over his hand and said, "Thank you Zhang Douzhi. I'll take my leave."

Zhang Baba was stunned for a moment. When he woke up, Shen An was gone.

"What do you want to explain?"

Ma Bi saw that Zhang had given up his life in eight years, and shouted: "I know... Shen Jian has killed several women, and also raised several prostitutes outside... Several of them died... He also killed an illegitimate child..."

Illegitimate children are troublesome to the powerful who do not miss their sons, but killing them is illegal.

"I know a lot of people..."

Damn it!

Zhang Baibian chased him out, but Shen An ran away long ago.

"I really want to kill him!"

He doesn't want to know the privacy of these powerful people, because the powerful people will gradually become corrupt, gradually become decadent, and eventually become ordinary people. It is best not to interfere in this process, otherwise it will cause big trouble.

Zhao Shu was worried that the powerful people would get into trouble by joining together, so he remained silent.

But Shen An scared Ma Bi all by himself, saying that he wanted to reveal the privacy of the powerful...

Damn it!

Shen An, you lack great virtue!

The next day, news came from the city.

"Shen An was cruel, Lin Jian was beaten half to death, Ma Bi knelt down and said many shameful things..."

This was a time bomb, and the powerful were dumbfounded.

If the powerful do not threaten the imperial power, then the emperor cannot interfere too much. This is the unspoken rule.

But now Shen An has touched this unspoken rule.

what to do?

…

Take action!

Ever since the powerful men took advantage of Shen An, everyone was wondering how he would respond.

The powerful people are very powerful when they join forces!

Shen An actually resorted to the old trick of breaking his legs, and many people were waiting for the powerful people to counterattack.

But the dignitaries were calm for two days, and then they wrote to the palace, saying that Shen An had made great achievements during his trip and should be rewarded.

These powerful people have turned into licking dogs?

Everyone was puzzled, and soon news came that Ma Bi was dead.

"Mabi is dead."

Zhang Baizai stood in the Imperial City Department and said in a calm voice, "Ma Bi knows too much... Those dignitaries are testing, they want to test the official's mind, but how can a certain official let the official face them..."

The leader on the side felt that a storm was forming, and he laughed dryly and said: "Everyone knows that Ma Bi has died a long time ago, but you have been holding back the news, and even let people tell some news from Ma Bi. The dignitaries were frightened, so they immediately began to praise Shen An, which was a sign of submission..."

Ma Bi died on the night he arrived, after Zhang Ba Ba promised to save his family. When he was found, his mouth was full of blood, but he did not chew himself to death.

No one knew what method Ma Bi used to commit suicide. That night, everyone in the Imperial City Department felt chills running down their spines.

But Zhang Baibian kept the news secret, and the powerful people outside panicked, fearing that the dirty information would be exposed, so they turned into licking dogs and sang praises for Shen An.

Then the news of Ma Bi's death was released.

"As soon as they relented, you released the news of Ma Bi's death. The powerful people were satisfied, but what about the officials?"

The leader was a little worried about Zhang Bianba's situation, "Everyone knows that you should give the officials some peace of mind."

Zhang Baba shook his head, "How can the officials touch such dirty things? The purpose of the existence of the Imperial City Division is to do these things. You must have this awareness, otherwise you will not get far."

The leader paled, knowing these warnings.

"Yes, I understand."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head and said, "Everyone knows that the authority of the official family has been damaged... This official is not as kind as the late emperor, and I am afraid it will be detrimental to you..."

Will Zhao Shu, who was deceived from beginning to end, go crazy?

The boss thinks so.

What the emperor cares about most is power, and the right to know is one of them.

Zhang has destroyed this right to know for eight years and acted on his own initiative.

The emperor will rain down his thunderous wrath...

"Everyone knows that His Majesty has summoned us!"

Zhang Baibian turned around, nodded and said, "Go right away."

"Everyone knows..."

The leader was a little panicked, "You are doing it for the good of the government..."

"There is no reason." Zhang Baba said calmly: "You must do things based on your heart, and don't worry about gains and losses."

The leader stood there blankly and murmured: "In other words... if you do bad things for the officials, do you still have to bear the punishment of the officials?"

This is where the dirty work is done, and it can become a hound at any time.

"The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks..."

Zhang Baba went all the way in. When he saw Zhao Shu, he knelt down without hesitation and lowered his head in silence.

Zhao Shu was holding a book in his hand, and next to him was Zhao Xu.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he rolled up the book in his hand.

——For Zhao Shu, who likes reading, this is an unusual action.

"You are very brave!"

Zhao Shu glanced at Zhang Ba8en. The skull face that others feared was ordinary in his eyes.

Fear arises from ignorance. When you know everything, fear will disappear.

Zhao Shu is the king, he hopes he can know everything, but this time it was destroyed.

"My lord, you are guilty."

Zhang Baibian bowed his head and made no excuse.

"You're a good sleeper."

Zhao Shu put down the book and said with more playfulness in his eyes, "Here comes someone."

"Official family."

Two big men came in outside the door.

Zhao Shu stared at Zhang Ba8en and said, "Take it down and blame him hard."

"yes."

He was looking at Zhang Ba8en. Behind the screen behind him, a group of men with subtle auras were waiting for the signal.

Zhang didn't move for eight years, not moving at all.

It wasn't until someone held his arm and lifted it up that he stood up obediently, then turned around and walked out.

Zhao Shu was reading a book carelessly...

Zhao Xu felt a little sad when he saw Zhang Bianba being taken out.

Is this the emperor?

He got it.

A bench, two trembling chamberlains.

Zhang Baibian was tied to a stool, lowering his head and waiting.

Chen Zhongheng walked out of the hall, raised his head and said: "Hit! Thirty!"

Thirty sticks is a disaster for ordinary people, but after Zhang Ba8 heard the sound, his body couldn't help but relax.

This is just a warning.

puff!

The stick fell and his body trembled slightly.

Later, after the thirty sticks were over, Zhang Bianba was helped out.

He could walk on his own, but he was helped out as if he was very weak.

In the hall, Zhao Shu suddenly asked: "Do you know why I punished Zhang for eight years?"

Zhao Xu said, "Are you beating him?"

"Half of it."

Zhao Shu put down the book and rubbed his eyes, "Zhang has been in the Imperial City Division for eight years, and the Imperial City Division holds the power of secret spies. The longer he is here, the higher his prestige will be. When the prestige is too high, people will I can't help but have some weird thoughts, such as treason..."

Zhao Xu was awestruck and thought of the situation on his side.

Wang Chongnian won his trust, but Qiao Er still existed like an invincible little strongman. He inadvertently created a balanced situation between the two.

Is this instinct?

Zhao Xu was a little complacent.

"So beating him up will weaken his prestige." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Zhang Baibian is very skilled, but he was helped away. This means he knows what I mean."

"What about the other half?" Zhao Xu felt that the other half was Ma Bi's death.

"The other half?" Zhao Shu said calmly: "Wen Xiaozhong can discover Mr. Wen's traces alone. How many people are there in the Imperial City Division? It is extremely useless. If I don't punish Zhang for eight years, who will do things seriously in the future?"

"yes."

Zhao Xu's smugness disappeared.

It turned out that Zhao Shu didn't care about Ma Bi's death at all, he only cared about these two things.

Zhao Xu felt that everyone had guessed his father's thoughts wrongly, including himself who was complacent.

Later he left the palace and went to Shen's house.

"Sister, look at me!"

The Shen family is very lively.

Bao Shou, who came to play, climbed up to the roof again, holding a wooden sword in one hand and raising his head in a majestic manner.

Guoguo stood below and stamped her feet: "Guild Bao is angry, come down quickly!"

"No more!"

Bao Shou had been beaten several times at home for climbing on the roof, which made him feel that his home was a prison, and the Shen family was the only place where he could display his talents.

Shen An stood under the eaves, with Huahua at his feet, and the cheap bird was taking a nap on the roof.

"Come down quickly!" Guo Guo said angrily, "If you don't come down, you won't be able to share in the snacks we make later."

"Okay, okay, women are so annoying!"

Bao Shou bit the wooden sword and climbed down using his hands and feet.

He climbed down very quickly and looked really nimble.

Wen Xiaozhong was down there, looking at him blankly.

After landing, Bao Shou said proudly: "Sister, let's go to the palace tomorrow. They said the room inside is bigger and it will be more enjoyable to climb up..."

Guoguo sighed, "Aren't you afraid of Mr. Bao?"

Bao Shou said proudly: "How could I be afraid of dad? I've never been afraid of him!"

Then he heard a familiar cough and turned around slowly.

Bao Zheng was standing not far away, with Zhao Xu, expressionless, just clenching his fists.

Anyone who is familiar with Bao Zheng knows that he is angry.

Bao Shou's face fell instantly, "Dad..."
