Kou Ji was so kind to Di Qing, if he ran to bully Kou Tianci, it would be ungrateful.
But Di Qing is not an ungrateful person.
So he, a famous player in history, is destined to fight without a battle.
Wipe and wipe the armor only when it's okay to avoid rust.
"Didn't Wei Shibei have some small tribes? You didn't practice your hands?"
Kou Ji questioned.
Di Qing smiled bitterly and said: "The largest tribe is only more than 1,300 people. Before I led the soldiers and horses to their pasture, they knelt on the ground and waited quietly to pay tribute to the court.
What can i do
Can't kill a group of people kneeling on the ground and surrendering
I don't even bother to kill good and take merits. "
Kou Ji sighed faintly: "It's just Jiao Siluo, Li Deming, Li Yuanhao, Yelu Longxu, and Yeluzong who really don't fight."
Di Qingshen agreed and nodded heavily.
Then he added another sentence, "And the King of Goryeo..."
Kou Ji looked at Di Qing in amazement, "King Goryeo is considered a powerful enemy in your eyes?"
Di Qing thought about breaking through the capital of Goryeo with a drum, decisively shook his head and admitted his mistake: "King of Goryeo is not a strong enemy..."
The two brothers looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
The two gave birth to a thought.
We are not invincible in the world, but our opponents are too weak.
Kou Ji chatted with Di Qing about some homework, let Di Qing go down to wash, and ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food.
Two brothers, plus Kou Ji's students.
Eat and drink.
The kid Di Yong is also there.
It's just that I don't want to be close to Di Qing.
This is the case with the children of military commanders.
The generals have been out for many years.
The children in the family may still be small when they go out, and they may turn into lads when they go home.
This is the case with Liu Boxu.
When Liu Heng left the city of Bianjing to go to Japan, Liu Boxu was still a child. When Liu Heng appeared in front of Liu Boxu again, Liu Boxu had become a handsome young man.
It took Liu Heng several months before he reluctantly cultivated his relationship with Liu Boxu.
Now, it's Di Qing's turn.
But Di Yong is not Liu Boxu.
Liu Boxu is knowledgeable and kind-hearted.
So it's easy to relent.
Di Yong is very stubborn and arrogant.
His stubborn temper probably followed his mother, and his arrogance was contaminated by Su Shi.
Di Yong doesn't have Su Shi's beautiful articles, but he has an extraordinary talent for martial arts.
Almost all those who visited the bamboo courtyard praised Di Yong and Su Shi as both prodigy children.
Di Yong was not as shy as Liu Boxu. Although he had met Di Qing once when Di Qing returned to Beijing, but when he saw Di Qing again, he still raised his head cocky and asked: "Are you my father?"
Di Qing doesn't get along with his son very much, so he said in a hard tone: "It's like a fake!"
Di Yong wiped his greasy mouth with his sleeve, patted his chest proudly and said, "I heard people say that my father is excellent in martial arts, and my martial arts are also good.
If you beat me, I will admit that you are my father. "
Di Qing stared at Di Yong without speaking.
Su Shi was holding a bowl of braised pork, digging into his mouth while picking things up.
"Di Yong, you can definitely win!"
then.
Then there is no more.
The most effective way to deal with bear kids is never reasonable.
Because the more you talk about the truth, the more annoying the bear child will find you.
The most effective method is to get fat.
Di Qing slapped Di Yong's buttocks twice with his hands, and Di Yong was behaved.
Di Qing arrogantly hugged Di Yong and wiped away the tears on Di Yong's face with his wide palm.
Kou Ji slapped Su Shi's ass and Su Shi obediently returned to the study to study.
Solved the bear child.
Di Qing and Kou Ji had a little chat. After Di Qing confirmed that Kou Ji was not in danger, he left the bamboo courtyard.
Not long after Di Qing left, Chen Lin hurried to the bamboo courtyard.
Kou Ji was drinking tea after dinner in the side hall. After seeing Chen Lin, he put down the tea cup and said, "What did you find?"
Chen Lin said with a sullen face: "There is no gunpowder flowing into the palace."
Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and there was no gunpowder flowing into the palace, which meant that Zhao Zhen would not be worried about his life.
"Since there is no gunpowder flowing into the palace, why do you still look like a dead father?"
Chen Lin said solemnly: "But our family found the eunuch who bought it, and he got a hundred catties of gunpowder from Changxinglong Artillery, and he didn't know where he was going.
No matter where the gunpowder goes, no matter what happens, it is part of our family's responsibility. "
Kou Ji frowned and said: "One hundred catties, the amount is indeed a lot. People who can do business in Bianjing have a keen sense of smell. They may not know other people, but it is accurate to see the eunuch.
The shopkeeper Chang Xinglong dared to sell a hundred catties of gunpowder to an eunuch, which shows that he also has a problem. "
Chen Lin said: "Our family has already sent someone to investigate. Chang Xinglong's shopkeeper and owner were bombed to death in Chang Xinglong last night. Only some women and children were left, and those women and children didn't know anything.
In their respective private houses, some dirty money was found, but nothing else. "
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said: "Neither does the account book?"
Chen Lin shook her head.
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems to be a cronies."
Chen Lin nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji said: "In that case, a hundred catties of gunpowder disappears and the clue is broken?"
Chen Lin nodded again.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and asked, "Now is the maidservant from before Fang Meiren enters the palace?"
Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said: "What you can find can be found by others. You have to make sure that we can get the confession of the maidservant.
If she is also silenced, then our clues will be cut off.
Since the other party makes a move and fails to achieve the goal, he will never stop.
We can't let others lead by the nose. "
Chen Lin solemnly said: "Our family has sent three groups of people, and we will definitely get the confession of that maidservant."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "The death of Fang Meiren and the bombing of Chang Xinglong's artillery may not be caused by one person. Therefore, the investigation on the other side cannot be lax.
Since the other party had taken away a hundred catties of gunpowder, they would definitely use gunpowder to do something.
As long as you find the gunpowder, you have a chance to catch the opponent. "
"Our family understands..."
Kou Ji picked up the teacup and signaled that Chen Lin could leave.
Chen Lin didn't stay too much, and decisively left the bamboo courtyard.
In the next few days, it was calm.
Nothing happened in Bianjing.
The person sent by Chen Lin spent four days and got the confession from the maidservant.
It is said that when the maidservant was found, a thief wanted to kill the maidservant and was killed by Wu Desi.
After Chen Lin got her confession, she approached Kou Ji.
Kou Ji froze for a long time after seeing the confession Chen Lin received.
"Suzhou scholar Zhang Bing?"
"Now it is the Deputy Division of the Military Registration Department under the Military Department of the Privy Council."
"My protégé..."
Kou Ji returned the confession to Chen Lin, staring at Chen Lin and said: "I am not very impressed with this person. He and Ouyang Xiu and others are on the same list, but they have not lived in my house."
Chen Lin nodded and said: "Our house has checked. When you let a group of scholars into the mansion, he did not go, but lived in the Suzhou Guild Hall.
He didn't have enough knowledge, so he reluctantly ordered a top three Jinshi.
After his official career, his political achievements were mediocre, but he was promoted repeatedly. "
Kou Ji frowned and said: "If Bao Zheng and others are outstanding, why are they promoted so often?"
Chen Lin pursed her mouth and said nothing.
Kou Ji glanced at him and said in a bit of astonishment: "It's related to me?"
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Everyone said he was irradiated by you."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Bullshit! If I promote him, I can make him a worthless deputy?"
Chen Lin said frankly: "His colleagues said so, and he himself revealed the same to the outside world."
Kou Ji asserted: "This person is very problematic. Only with a love poem, can a beauty die?"
Judging from the confession brought by Chen Lin, Fang Meiren did have a secret, but the secret was nothing at all.
According to the maid-in-law's confession, Zhang Bing participated in an imperial examination before being a scholar.
On the way to participate in the imperial examination, Fang Meiren's locality was exposed, and she was invited to participate in a poetry meeting.
During the dinner, I saw Fang Meiren and wrote a love poem to Fang Meiren.
Fang Meiren liked poems, and felt that his poems still had some literary talent, so she didn't think much about it and accepted it.
After Fang Meiren accepted his love poem, Zhang Bing put aside his rhetoric, saying that after he was awarded a scholar, he would definitely go to Fang to propose marriage.
Fang Meiren didn't care either.
Then, there is no more.
Zhang Bing missed one time and had no face to go to the Fang family to propose a marriage.
This is actually Zhang Bing talking to himself, most of the Fang family don't know.
Fang Meiren didn't tell her family after returning home after attending the poem meeting.
Later, when the court was looking for a girl, the house owner of the Fang family sent Fang Meiren into the palace.
This matter can be regarded as an end.
That's why Kou Ji felt that this matter was not a big deal.
Fang Meiren accepts her love poems, and she really shouldn't.
But from beginning to end, Fang Meiren didn't seem to have talked with Zhang Bing.
Naturally, it is impossible to die for Zhang Bing.
However, when Zhang Bing worked in the local government, his political performance was mediocre, but he was repeatedly promoted. There were indeed problems.
"After you go back, please ask for a decree to take Zhang Bingxian to Wu Desi's prison and hungry for two days. I will try him two days later."
Kou Jisi thought about it for a while and said to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin hesitated: "I entered Wu Desi's prison, but I couldn't get out."
Kou Ji understood the meaning of Chen Lin’s words, "Let you take it, even if he has nothing to do with this matter. Then he deserves to die, no matter if he is promoted under my banner or secretly promoted by other means, All violated the laws of the court."
Chen Lin nodded, "If this is the case, then our family will arrest someone."
Kou Ji let Chen Lin leave.
Chen Lin went to the palace, asked for the decree, went to the Political Affairs Institute, printed a seal, rushed to Zhang Mansion, and took Zhang Bing.
Kou Ji entered the Wu Desi prison two days later, under the guidance of Chen Lin.
Wu Desi's prison is very clean and has no peculiar smell.
Among the many cells Kou Ji has seen, the cleanest one.
Chen Lin led Kou Ji to the depths. Seeing Kou Ji looking around in the prison passage, she explained a few words in a low voice.
"Mu Desi's prison was built with stone. Although it is underground, it is not damp..."
"Those who entered the Wu Desi Grand Prison will not last long, and the longest will not exceed five days. In the end, almost all of them died in the torture room, so there was no smell..."
"..."
Chen Lin has been leading Kou Ji to the door of the execution room.
Kou Ji just smelled a faint smell of blood.
There was someone in the torture room. Chen Lin walked to the door of the torture room and knocked on the iron door of the torture room, revealing a hole in the iron door.
Chen Lin raised her head so that the people inside could see his face clearly.
The people inside immediately opened the door.
Chen Lin took Kou Ji into the torture room.
There were three people inside, a young man guarding the gate, a clean middle-aged man dressed in black, and Zhang Bing tied to a torture instrument.
Zhang Bing and Di Qing are about the same age, and now they are middle-aged.
Remind that Bi Di Qing is thin and weak.
Looks well.
There is no way to compare with Di Qing.
Throughout the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that Di Yong was the only one who could compete with Di Qing in terms of appearance.
Although Zhang Bing's appearance is not as good as Di Qing, he looks better than ordinary people.
Zhang Bing was sitting on a torture chair with a piece of linen in his mouth, and his eyes were a little red.
"Hurry up and see Duke Kou?"
Chen Lin shouted at the middle-aged man who was wiping the torture instrument.
The middle-aged man seemed to have a special affection for the torture instrument.
A long thin steel needle in his hand was shiny and shiny by him, and he still didn't let go.
I can see that he likes his industry very much.
Every torture instrument was wiped clean, and the entire torture room was cleaned up.
Perhaps in his mind, punishment is an art.
The faint smell of blood that Kou Ji smelled was probably due to the fact that too many people died in the torture room, so the walls and floor were infiltrated with blood.
The middle-aged man carefully put down the steel needle in his hand and bowed and saluted Kou Ji, "Humble job Feng Si, I have seen Kou Gong..."
Kou Ji stared at him, "You like torture instruments?"
Feng Si chuckled lightly: "My ancestors have relied on this craft for generations to eat, it's hard to like it or not."
Kou Ji nodded.
There are two positions in government and public office, which can be said to be passed down from generation to generation.
One is the throne of the emperor, and the other is the throne of small officials.
For example, those who eat craftsmanship in punishment are almost all passed on from father to son, and descendants from grandchildren.
Although it is not on the table.
But there are stable incomes and some small powers.
"Have you ever been to the Tiansheng Forensic Clinic?"
Kou Ji asked.
Feng Si shook his head, "The humble post has been staying in Wu Desi's prison and rarely goes out."
Kou Ji said: "Then you haven't been there?"
Feng Si nodded quickly.
Kou Ji bluntly said: "If you have a chance, you can go there, there are many things you like."
Feng Si arched his hands and said: "Here..."
Kou Ji didn't chat with Feng Si anymore. He pointed to Zhang Bing and instructed Feng Si's apprentice to remove the linen from Zhang Bing's mouth.
As soon as he took the linen, Zhang Bing shouted, "Sir! Sir! The student did nothing! The student was wronged!"
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Bing coldly, "Shut up! I ask you to answer! If you answer well, you can live, if you don't answer, you must die!"
Zhang Bing shivered all over, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Kou Ji asked: "Have you ever met Fang Meiren?"
Zhang Bing shivered again, struggling in his heart, without words.
Kou Ji also had no words.
Feng Sifen took a steel needle with interest and walked towards Zhang Bing.
"I said! I said! I did have a relationship with Fang Niangniang!"
Zhang Bing yelled in horror, but no one answered him.
Feng Si walked to Zhang Bing and squatted down, wiped Zhang Bing's fingers very seriously, and amid Zhang Bing's screams, he inserted the steel needle into Zhang Bing's fingers little by little.
Kou Ji spoke again when Zhang Bing yelled for a break, "You also gave Fang Meiren a love poem..."
Zhang Bing tremblingly said: "Yes..."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Fang Meiren still accepts it?"
"Yes… "
"..."
After Kou Ji asked Zhang Bing several questions, he suddenly said: "After you got the Jinshi, you used love poems to threaten Fang Meiren and let Fang Meiren help you get promoted?!"
"is not it!"
Zhang Bing first responded, but after reacting, he shouted immediately.
Kou Ji slowly closed his mouth, and Feng Si once again walked forward with a steel needle.
The steel needle pierced Zhang Bing's index finger, and Zhang Bing yelled frantically in pain.
"I have only seen Gong E in Fang Meiren's Palace! I have never seen Fang Meiren! I have not threatened Fang Meiren!"
"Then how did you get promoted? Is it under my banner?"
"I... I have played the banner of a husband, and many of my classmates have been irradiated. But none of them helped me get promoted."
"..."
With only two steel needles, Zhang Bing burst into tears, sweat on his forehead, blue veins violently, and his mouth trembling, replying.
Kou Ji asked, "Who is that! The official who helped you get promoted!"
Zhang Bing struggled and said: "After I joined the army, I either served in the army or served as a supervisor in the army. After I was dispatched back to Beijing, I also served in the Ministry of War and the Department of War... I naturally followed the relationship between the army... "
Kou Ji's expression became cold, and he told Feng Si: "Ten fingers are full, so that he knows clearly that he has to answer what I ask."
Feng Si responded and walked over with eight steel needles.
Then stick one by one into Zhang Bing's finger.
After the death of the sixth root, Zhang Bing yelled hysterically, "It's Concubine Xian! It's Concubine Xian! It's Concubine Xian! Ah!!!"
"I begged Fang Niangniang! Fang Niangniang helped me introduce the female officer next to Concubine Xian!"
"The concubine's father and uncle are in Ningzhou and the other in Shizhou, and both are in charge of military affairs! The Shizhou Town Army and the Ningzhou Town Army Supervision Army, which I served successively, were arranged by them!"
"..."
Zhang Bing yelled and said everything he knew.
Kou Ji and Chen Lin frowned when they heard the word "Xianfei".
It is not Concubine He De, Concubine Zhang, or Concubine Zhou Shu, but Concubine Zhang Xian who has no son by her side.
Concubine Zhang Xian is quietly like an invisible person on weekdays.
How could it get mixed up with this matter
When Kou Ji and Chen Lin heard Zhang Bing call out Zhang Xianfei, they couldn't believe it.
After two people frowned and thought for a long time, they had more or less guesses in their hearts.
Could it be that Concubine Zhang Xian is helping Concubine Zhang Guizhou
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Bing and asked, "Why the Concubine Xian Niang will help you?"
Zhang Bing yelled: "One is Fang Niangniang, please, and the other is that I have sent a large sum of money."
Kou Ji and Chen Lin frowned tighter.
Zhao Zhen loves the Zhang sisters very much, and there is never a shortage of four o'clock rewards, and the allowances are also quite generous.
Coupled with the fact that Zhang Guifei has a prince under her knees, there are even more cases.
Concubine Zhang Xian married a good family, and was sent into the palace with filial piety at four o'clock.
It can be said that apart from Queen Cao in the palace, the Zhang sisters are the richest.
They don't look like people who are greedy for money. How could they help Zhang Bing get promoted for a little money
Even if you want to train a few confidantes for the prince under the knees of Concubine Zhang, you shouldn't support Zhang Bingcai.
More importantly, even if you want to cultivate your confidant, you shouldn't put it in the army of military officials.
In the matter of seizure of prostitutes, Takeshi often acted as a deterrent.
The right to speak is far from the civil minister.
In addition, Kou Ji, Yang Wenguang, and Di Qing were present, and the other military officials could not play a deterrent effect at all in the court.
So squeezing the confidant into the military team is a waste of chess.
The only thing that can be done is to find the weaknesses of some local town generals with the help of their powers, defeat them one by one, draw in one by one, and prepare for the mutiny.
However, it is difficult for local soldiers and horses to gather together, and even if they try to get together, they can't make up many soldiers and horses.
Except for the 10,000 soldiers and horses guarded by local governments and towns, almost all other soldiers and horses were assigned to the local government.
It is very difficult to assemble.
Local officials are not blind.
Even if he bought a part of the local civil servants and barely assembled the local soldiers and horses, he rushed to the city of Bianjing by chance and had to kneel in front of the two armies of the Tianwu Army and the Japanese Army, armed to the teeth.
Want to fight the sky-shaking military army, hold the Japanese army, and Yulinwei.
The local soldiers had to get together several times before they could barely try.
After all, a group of fierce pawns who came out of the killing field were also equipped with firearms.
Far more than those in the local area that have never seen a big killing field, and the soldiers and horses with swords can contend.
As for finding out the weaknesses of the generals of the Forbidden Army, that is not something Zhang Bing can do as a soldier.
Even if Zhang Bing was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the army, it would be difficult for him to ask questions about the Forbidden Army.
It is even more impossible to consult the military secrets of the Infantry Department.
Therefore, it is totally unreasonable for Zhang Xianfei to help Zhang Bing get promoted for a little money.
If Zhang Bingruo said that Concubine Zhang Xian's father and uncle were greedy for money and helped him find an official, it barely made sense.
But the problem is, Zhang Xianfei's father and uncle can't put Zhang Bing in the position of deputy department.
Today's foreign relatives are not as good as before, and the harem is not allowed to do politics.
The Zhang brothers are not strong men like Kou Ji.
How can Zhang Bing'an be inserted into a fourth-rank position
They have to have the patience, and they sit by themselves.
Can you still get Zhang Bing
As for Fang Meiren's request, will Zhang Xianfei care
Fang Meiren has such a great face that a concubine Zhang Xian has worked hard to support an unskilled thing to the fourth-tier position
Besides, Fang Meiren has only one relationship with Zhang Bing, and she hasn't fallen in love with him yet. How could she have worked so hard to get Zhang Xianfei to help Zhang Bing
So, there is a problem.
Either Zhang Bing has a problem.
Either this is definitely not as simple as Zhang Bing said.
"Since you don't want to tell the truth, let's be true."
Kou Ji faintly gave instructions to Feng Si, and he looked at Zhang Bing as if looking at a dead person.
