Chapter 21
Shanghai Opium successfully solved the case and was commended by the emperor; The King of Wuling in Tianjin sent a letter praising Lanchi and agreeing on a date for the meeting. One day, the two went to listen to the lecture, and King Huijun was very envious of Lan Chi, and asked long and short questions all the way, asking if the anti-opium organization could absorb him to participate.
Lan Chi said, "You tell the emperor that Lord Li Yangzhen is a court official, and I am an old man, so don't you just have some nostalgia?"
King Huijun saw Lan Chi holding the book while walking and reciting it, and went up to grab the book and asked, "The emperor will not let the prince follow the ass with a foreign surname."
Lan Chi said, "Then didn't you tell the Emperor to let Lord Li talk to you ass?"
Seeing that Mianyu did not give, he walked with his backhand and said, "I can carry it, there is a prince who takes the book, and the sun hits the west!" Then he recited: "In the spring of the third year, Wang Zhengyue, the mouth of the suburban cow was wounded." The mouth, the slow resignation also... Xia, the Chu people invaded Zheng. Autumn..."
Mianyu shoved the book into his hand and said, "I won't give you the book. The two happily went to class.
On the same day, Wang Lanchi, Li Yangzhen, Da tie, Li Guangjin, Xie Liang, and others held a meeting to study future actions. They sat around a large round table with tea, pastries, and fruits on the table, which looked like a tea party. Mainly worried about the cold and rushing into the critical response.
Tie Tie asked: "You officials still have to pay attention to it, you have been followed many times, it is not easy to dump, and if you dump it several times, you will expose your identity even more."
Li Guangjin said, "Last time I was stalked back and forth, I simply went in to look for flowers and asked Liu.
Li Yangzhen said: "This is also a way to get out, and it can also meet the needs of the flesh."
Li Guangjin was not convinced, and protested: "I just hid in the rose room and sat down and talked."
Lan Chi said, "That rose is a tumultuous stream, the monkey will also have to fry the oil and squeeze the paste when he enters the door, you are an elephant, how can she be satisfied in the conversation?" unbelief. ”
Li Guangjin's face turned crimson. "Mm-hmm... Hmmm" rang out and didn't know how to explain.
The iron said: "The measure is still to be mastered, sleeping a fireworks woman is small, revealing the matter is big, try not to go into such places."
Li Yangzhen reported on the situation of the Shanghai rebel army, and everyone supported the Mid-Autumn Festival north-south parade, demanding that the imperial court severely punish Wu Jiagui and disobey the punishment of stripping him of his official position.
Li Yangzhen said: "Wu Jiagui's sister is a concubine of Daoguang, and she said that in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, she would lightly fall. Roadblocks and land wolves all went to dig rivers, the emperor had to be lenient, the criminal law department had to listen, and the holy dictations dared to disobey. ”
Wang Lanchi said: "The prince who broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people was proposed by the Qin State Shangmartin, and now a foreign relative who breaks the law is not punished with the same crime as the common people, let alone the prince, this law is for the people?" He was dazed and dissatisfied with the handling of Wu Jiagui's case.
Xie Liang said, "There must be an ulterior secret in this, and in my opinion the eunuch is suspicious."
Liu Yangzhen said: "That Eunuch Jia is the general manager, a thief with rat eyes, and often goes in and out of Wu Jiagui's Lion Park. I happened to pass by, saw me a few times, and peeked around before entering the door, showing that my mind was not right. ”
Wang Lanchi said: "This is the point, the emperor loves to listen to eunuchs, thinking that only eunuchs are confidants and cannot seek power reliable forces." Listening to The King of Huijun, Jia Gonggong's fists and feet were very powerful. Lan Chi also said that in ancient times, it was popularized, "The law is not expensive, and the rope does not disturb the song." The law of the law, the wise can resign, the brave dare to fight" to advocate a harmonious society, we must treat it fairly, reward and punishment clearly. Lan Chi also said: "When jiaqing and Daoguang are getting darker and darker, they are about to overturn the ship, and the emperor can't see it, so he listens to the eunuchs talking nonsense about Guotai Min'an." Pumping up and down, opium is so widespread, can this country be peaceful and the people happy?"
Everyone complained about the darkness of the korean program, worried about the future of the country, and even more worried about the interests of the Han nation.
Located near the western suburbs of Beijing, the Lion Park originally belonged to the prince's practice of fist and foot, and there are also about 30 novel rooms, carved beams and paintings, warm spring and cool summer. Emperor Jinkou opened his mouth to Concubine Wu's brother Wu Jiagui. He designed the drawings, added 100 bedrooms, 130 patios, in order to achieve the purpose of building a house, began to encircle the surrounding area, the farmer's vegetable garden was destroyed hundreds of acres, who resisted, rudely beaten. In order to build houses, he began selling opium.
Li Guangjin said: "Wang Wufeng, a native of Henan who died a few years ago, passed by the Lion Park in the eighth year of Daoguang, just as Wu Jiagui's family was out of the funeral, I found out that it was his wife who was in charge of the house and died of illness. As soon as he observed, he found that there was blood oozing from the coffin, so he stopped opening the coffin to save people. Coincidentally, the Wuling King led the brothers to hunt and pass by and when they heard it, they dismounted and asked Wu Jiagui to cooperate with the medical officer to open the coffin. After the coffin was opened, he was treated with a silver needle, Wu Jiagui's face was iron blue, and the mother angrily pointed out that xiang gong was killed after being saved. The Wuling King went up and slapped him a few times and escorted him to the Dali Temple. The emperor issued an edict to let him go, saying that family affairs should not be confused with state affairs. A few days later, his wife hanged herself, and it was revealed that she was killed again. ”
Lan Chi said, "It really lives up to the name of Bian Que, wang Wufeng is today's medical master. The King of Wuling said that a few years ago, Wang Wu treated the emperor and lived in the caravanserai, but died on the caravanserai bed. The Wuling King suspected that Wu Jiagui had framed him, but the emperor said that small things should not be expanded, let alone guessed. ”
Tie Tie said: "Since the suspected eunuch Jia, then follow up, we have no evidence is difficult to have sanctions." They have their backs to the emperor's grace, and the emperor's grace is mighty, and it is difficult!"
Xie Liang said: "Those who are exposed cannot be tracked, and we must choose those who are not exposed and have martial arts in the world, and I heard that Gonggong Jia's martial arts are not something that ordinary people can deal with."
"The Beijing opium gang group must be eradicated as soon as possible, and only by cleaning up the interior can we have a chance to confront the peripheral forces.
The rescue was imminent, and the flames of Beijing had to burn once. Lan Chi once again stood on the cusp of the times, stood up the chest of a man, and shouldered the great responsibility of saving the national disaster.
A rushing sound came from the door, and the iron said, "Everyone calm down, Chen Yan opened the door."
It was Xiao Tie who came in, and he said breathlessly, "The Qing soldiers are coming, hundreds of them, and they are surrounded, what should I do?"
He took out a dagger, pulled his son over and said, "It's time for our father and son to throw their heads down for the revolution." After saying that, he stabbed his son in the arm, then stabbed himself in the arm, shoved the dagger into Li Guangjin's hand, and said, "Brother, if you arrest me, we are opium dealers."
Li Guangjin said, "No, we can fight to the death."
Wang Lanchi said: "With me here, rest assured!"
"No! At the moment you cannot be exposed, and you all carry out the order!"
With a bang, the outside gate was kicked open, and the Qing soldiers' guns were aimed at the courtyard. Zhang Jiajun, the head of the capital city, stepped in one step, only to hear a crackling sound coming from inside. Zhang Yutou quickly withdrew, not daring to rush in. King Huijun shouted, "Zhang Yutou brought people in, there must be no mistakes!"
"Wang Ye, there's a lot of fighting inside."
Chen Yan looked out from the crack in the door and reported the situation in a timely manner.
Lan Chi kicked over the table and chair, turned to the iron and pleaded, "Even if I am exposed, I will save you out."
The iron-striking arm was badly wounded and bloodied, and he said solemnly: "In order for the revolution to succeed, you must obey the supreme orders of the revolutionary party." If you insist on an opium dealer, there is always a chance to escape. ”
Li Guangjin held back tears and nodded, "Brother, nephew, I will try to rescue him."
Hui Junwang kicked open the door and saw Wang Lanchi crush one person to the ground, and Li Guangjin crushed the other to the ground. The ground was covered in blood.
Chen Yan shouted, "Please be safe to king of Huijun!"
Li Yangzhen pretended to be relaxed after taking a previous step of the ceremony and said: "The arrival of the King of Huijun is the second set of thief-catching plans laid out by Lan Chi, can you see a monk dressed in robes on the way, and there are four or five followers?" The eyebrows are solemn, and everything is headed by the thief.
King Huijun suddenly remembered that Lan Chi seemed to have said a few words to him, 'Self-cultivation, Qi family, and peace in the world', which has nothing to do with me? To the sentence that was said last night, 'A soldier must not fail to carry out his duties, and the road is heavy and the road is long' probably means just that. He asked, "Of course, but the monk didn't meet, so who was tied up?" Revolutionary party?"
The dust on Li Yangzhen's bullet said: "Return to the king of Hui County, and by the emperor's edict, thoroughly investigate the opium trafficking syndicate in the capital." Tracked for many days, it was considered to be tied up twice, but unfortunately it was the shrimp soldier crab general, the cunning Dragon King opium head to slip through the net. Ben will continue to pursue. ”
Zhang Jiajun said: "Can Lord Li make a mistake, obviously he is a revolutionary, how can he be an opium dealer?" Could it be that the villager was sent by Wang Lanchi?
Lan Chi came over and said, "I can prove it, it's an opium dealer."
King Huijun said, "Listen!" Obvious skepticism.
Lan Chi walked over unhurriedly and pulled Mianyu to the side, muttering in his ear for a while.
King Huijun waved his hand and said, "Zhang Catcher took the opium dealer away!"
Lan Chi muttered a few words in Mianyu's ear again, and King Huijun kept nodding, and then ordered: "Zhang Yutou sent two people to find a board car to pull the traffickers, and the blood on his legs will be dead if he flows down, first bandage it..."
Li Yangzhen said: "Zhang Hunted the head, the trafficker is too seriously injured, and he will not be sentenced for the time being, and will wait for this official to ask the emperor for a second trial."
Li Guangjin said: "Lord Li must personally interrogate, and the group behind it can be completely eradicated, this is a big clue, don't let them hit the wall and kill themselves!" With a fierce attitude, flawlessness, and a huge wave churning in his heart, how can he save his brother and nephew?
A few days later, Zhang Jiajun summoned the villager, asked where the news was obtained, and gave a bag of silver.
"My lord, the contemptible people drink tea in the tea house, drink too much, and urinate more, which is not overheard."
"Let me be clear, and reward you with a bag of silver."
The townspeople were confused, he didn't know anything, and he bet people that if there was a revolutionary army outside the city, he would get a reward. Momentarily stunned, I didn't know how to deal with it.
Zhang Yutou took Lan Chi's portrait and said, "Did he ask you to come and ventilate the news?"
"Right, right, that's him, I know the face, I don't know the person." He came in for tea and gave me a bag of silver to find you to the broken temple to arrest people. ”
"Catch the revolutionaries or catch the opium dealers?" He lifted a bag of silver and shook it.
"Arresting..." Catching revolutionaries will kill their heads, and if they can't do absolutely nothing as a person, they will be killed by lightning.
"What to catch, why swallow?" Pat the table and yell.
"Catch the opium dealers!" Yikes! Headhunter, don't you scare me, I won't say anything in the future? Let me go, be kind as a donkey liver lung. ”
After a while, the townspeople took two bags of silver and left.
The deputy said, "Lord Headhunter, this matter has come to light, there is no need to dwell on it." That prisoner is a red man in the eyes of the emperor, the future is our head, don't offend!"
Zhang Yutou nodded, and the discussion behind the servant's back was " The old treacherous giant, the wall head grass, the rudder of seeing the wind, the six relatives do not recognize, and the eyes of li opened..." This moment was fully exposed, he said: "Another day, please ask The King of Huijun and Wang Lanchi to have a drink!" You go and arrange it, go to the 'Gorgeous Restaurant' to entertain the two of you. ”
Three days later, the father and son were interrogated. It was Lord Li Yangzhen who sat in the courtroom and tried the case.
"Say it! Who are you that monk?"
The iron said, "My lord, the monk is the monk in the various temples, how do I know who he is?"
"Still cunning, do you still want to make up for you again?"
"No! No! My lord, I said..." Pretending to be panicked and spitting.
Li Yangzhen cooperated seamlessly, patting the table and angrily rebuking: "Say! Don't say anything more, Lao Tzu stabbed you to death, believe it or not?"
"He's a fake monk." Hit the iron to have a "panicked" expression.
"What about real identity?"
"Father, let me tell you, that fake monk is a fisherman, a big smoker, but not a drug dealer." Xiao Tie said loudly.
"Son, you don't want to die?" We can't afford to offend, son!" Cry and fill in the illusion with reality.
"Dad, if you don't say it's death, if you say it, you're dead." Dad, why do we carry the black pot for people?"
Li Yangzhen said, "Say, as long as you can help the government crack the opium case, this official asks the emperor to spare your father and son the death penalty!"
"It's Wu Jiagui in the capital!" The iron fingers trembled, distinctly real.
There was a lot of discussion at the gate, and the quiet interrogation hall became a wet market.
Li Yangzhen admired the composure of the iron, and it was not too much to buckle this pot of and urine on Wu Thief's head. Therefore, the verdict was immediately issued: "Escort the prisoners out of the capital, send them to the west to dig a cave, and set off immediately."
Ten days later, they escaped under the rescue of the revolutionaries and sneaked back to the beijing area.
