Zhao Zhen felt much better after hearing what Lu Yijian said.
"Aiqing makes sense..."
Lu Yijian smiled indifferently, and then said: "Officials, nowadays, scholars and some people who claim to be righteous people are blocking the entrance of Kou's mansion. Kou Ji can't get out of the house and can't do anything wrong, so please ask the official to make an early decision?"
This matter has long been determined, and now it is up to Zhao Zhen to sit and watch the development of things, or throw out the promotion of education to calm the matter.
Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time, and said: "We monarchs and ministers have planned for so long, and it is not worthwhile to put the matter down now. Although I can't win the reputation, but the scholars are lawless and wanton, we still have to punish one or two.
Wang Aiqing, you go to Kou Mansion and explain this to my fourth brother.
Let him bear with him for a while, and when the scholars make a hurtful move, I will put the matter down immediately. "
Wang Zeng bowed and accepted the errand.
After finishing his official duties, Wang Zeng left the palace and rode in a carriage to the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Kou’s House, I saw scholars and some righteous people screaming at the gate of the Kou’s House.
Someone wrote several condemning articles for this and read them aloud at the entrance of the Kou Mansion’s Courtyard.
Wang Zeng frowned and ignored them, and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the side door of the Kou’s residence and knock on the door to enter the house.
After entering the courtyard of Kou Mansion, Kou Ji sent someone to the study room.
As soon as Wang Zeng entered the study, he saw Kou Ji teasing with a small baby in his hand.
The baby is very small, but more than a month old.
No words, only crying and laughing.
The baby seemed to have a close relationship with Kou Ji, and kept laughing in Kou Ji's arms.
Kou Ji held her with one hand, and lit her nose with the other and smiled: "You are much better than your unscrupulous brother. You know that being close is your father."
Wang Zeng watched Kou Ji speak with a smile to a baby who didn't understand anything, curled his lips slightly, and said, "It's about to turn up the sky outside, and you still have the mood to tease your girl here."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently, and handed over the girl to the little sister of the Xiang family, and smiled to Wang Zeng: "There's a quarrel outside, what's the matter with me?"
Speaking of this, Kou Ji bowed to Wang Zeng, "The prince is courteous, please come to your seat, and Lu Ming will serve tea."
Kou Ji ordered the little sister of Xiang Jia to carry her daughter to the backyard. He invited Wang Zeng to sit down and chat while drinking tea.
"You are the one who caused the outside affairs, dare you say it has nothing to do with you?"
After sitting down, Wang Zeng said solemnly.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Although I started the matter with my own hands, the official decision was indeed made."
Wang Zeng rolled his eyes and said, "The old man is too lazy to fight. The old man came here to convey the official will to you. The official asked the old man to tell you, let you put up with it for a few days, and wait for the scholars to cause harm. He will take action again."
When Kou Ji heard this, the smile on his face narrowed a bit, staring at Wang Zeng and said: "Wait for the scholars to make a hurtful thing? They are now in front of my Kou Mansion. They really want to hurt people, they must hurt. I belong to Kou Mansion.
The ordinary members of the Kou Mansion were wounded, and the officials hadn't been able to make a big fight.
Only by hurting the master of the Kou Mansion, the official can make use of it.
My grandfather is too old to be frightened.
My wife is a female stream and is not suitable to participate in this kind of thing.
My sons and daughters are still young.
I am the only one left, but this is an important task.
The question is, if I am a privy envoy, if someone is hurt, how can the face of the court be saved? "
Wang Zeng said indifferently: "Only if you are injured, can officials use the topic to make use of it."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to see those scholars being chopped into flesh?"
Wang Zeng was taken aback, staring, "The official family didn't allow you to do it privately."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "I don't know how to do it personally, but once the news of my injury gets out, do you think the people in Ruian Town will watch
Don't forget that the Yellow River was flooded and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.
It was me who was ordered to place them in danger.
Not only gave them a bite of food, saved their lives, and helped them find a job to make a living.
Today, their rich lives are all given by me.
They owe me more than a life.
Someone really hurt me in Ruian Town, ranging from old men in their 70s to 80s, to urchins in their three or four years old, who would carry knives and fight with them desperately.
Nearly 100,000 people worked together, and the sentiment was enthusiastic.
Those few scholars are not enough. "
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji in astonishment.
Kou Ji glanced at him and said, "The prince thought I was telling you a joke?"
Wang Zeng shook his head solemnly, "The people in Ruian Town have been greatly favored by you. If you are deceived, they will definitely work hard for you."
The ancients believed that the grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring.
If you are favored by others, if you don't reciprocate, you will be accused of having no conscience.
Kou Ji is so kind to the people in Ruian Town.
If Kou Ji was injured in Ruian Town, many of them must have picked up knives and worked hard for Kou Ji.
After Wang Zeng said this, he didn't wait for Kou Ji to speak again, and said with emotion: "No wonder you have been living in Rui'an Town all these years..."
Kou Ji spread his hands and smiled calmly: "Is there a safer place than Ruian Town?"
Wang Zeng sighed and said, "Nearly 100,000 dead men are protected. For you, it is naturally safe."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Not as exaggerated as you said."
Wang Zeng shook his head and said, "As long as the people who have received your favor are alive, they will surely repay your kindness. Maybe after three or four generations, this kind of kindness will slowly be forgotten."
Kou Ji smirked: "I didn't even think about keeping them anxious about my kindness."
Wang Zeng shook his head again, and did not say much on this issue.
The people value virtue and kindness.
Several generations of people repay a certain kind of thing, and it often happens among the people.
Kou Ji saved not three or two people, but hundreds of thousands.
Among hundreds of thousands of people, there is always that kind of person.
If they can't repay Kou Ji's kindness, they will hand it over to the younger generation.
Even if the descendants of later generations are unwilling to repay Kou Ji's kindness, they will also write down Kou Ji's kindness and pass it on by word of mouth.
The Millennium Chronicles of Winning Enguo, in ancient times, were not empty words.
Although not necessarily as exaggerated as a thousand years.
But one hundred years, absolutely can do it.
"If you get a bargain, you still sell good..."
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji, and said angrily.
Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng and smiled: "Are you envious?"
Wang Zeng snorted coldly, "The old man also gave a lot of kindness to go out."
"How many of me?"
"Is this kind of kindness measured by quantity?"
"..."
Kou Ji and Wang Zeng confided a few words about this.
Wang Zeng said: "The old man has already conveyed what the official told the old man. Now, the old man should go."
"do not!"
Kou Ji stopped Wang Zeng.
"Prince, you should know that I Kou Ji is definitely not the kind of person who sits and waits for death. Nor is it the kind of person who gives the initiative to others.
Therefore, it is impossible for me to wait in the house for the scholars to hurt others. "
Wang Zeng frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "If the initiative of the matter is in the hands of others, it will not be under my control, and accidents will easily occur. For me, that is life-threatening.
So I am ready to take the initiative. "
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and waited for the following.
Kou Ji continued: "Looking back, I will find two people, mix with those scholars, and find a chance to give me a stick. Then the officials will immediately mobilize firearms to kill them."
"That's all scholars, not bandits, how can you use the word extermination?"
Wang Zeng snorted coldly.
Kou Ji said in amazement: "You are also involved in this matter, prince."
Wang Zeng's face turned dark and he snorted, "The old man will tell the official."
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak again, Wang Zeng had already flung his sleeves and left the courtyard of Kou Mansion.
After Wang Zeng left, Kou Ji rushed to the backyard and explained to Xiang Yan, asking her to restrain Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu from going out in recent days.
Then Kou Ji ordered Lu Ming to find a few scholars and mingled with the scholars outside the courtyard of Kou's Mansion.
February 2.
The day the dragon raised its head.
Kou Ji was summoned out of the mansion and rushed to the palace.
When I went out, I was blocked by scholars.
The scholars gathered around Kou Ji's carriage, and enthusiastically condemned Kou Ji.
Kou Ji had no words, just instructed the groom to drive the scholar away, and then drove to the city of Bianjing.
All the way out of Ruian Town.
The scholars condemned that Kou Ji didn't get a response, and each one became more irritable.
Two sticks flew out of the crowd amidst the shouts of scholars.
One smashed into the carriage through the window of the car, and one on the forehead of the coachman.
The coachman broke his forehead immediately and shouted in horror.
"Someone was assassinated!"
Then things completely changed.
The scholar denounced the Kou Ji incident, and became the clerk who assassinated the scholar.
There are smart ones who run right away, and some stupid ones stand in place without fear.
The firearms camp was dispatched as soon as possible.
Three thousand Musketeers left the camp and rushed to the entrance of Ruian Town.
"Do not kill!"
After the musketeers arrived at the entrance of Ruian Town, they shouted for a long time, and the gunfire rang for a long time.
Half a young man in Ruian Town, after learning that Kou Ji was assassinated, rushed out with a blade.
Some clan elders and village elders who had long been instructed by Kou Ji came forward and stopped them back.
When the last shot fell to the ground.
Kou Ji said helplessly: "I think I should go down and take a look..."
In the corner of the carriage, where the dumb tiger squatted, holding a stick in his hand, staring at Kou Ji blankly.
Hearing that Kou Ji was about to go down, he raised the stick in his hand.
Kou Ji sighed and explained: "All of this is acting, and no one really hurts me."
Du Hu was indifferent to this, just raised the stick in his hand.
Kou Ji had no temper with him, so he could only sit back upright.
Who knows, Duhu actually rubbed his hands.
Kou Ji looked at the familiar movement and stared at the dumb tiger in astonishment, "You want money?"
The dumb tiger nodded stiffly.
Kou Ji looked incredulous, "Are you asking me for money?"
Yahu hesitated for a moment and withdrew his hand.
Seeing this, Kou Ji hurriedly said: "I don't mind if you ask me for money, I'm just a little surprised, you are actually interested in money."
Dumb Tiger was stunned, and opened his mouth a few times at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji stunned: "Are you useful?"
Yahu nodded.
"What is it for?"
As soon as Kou Ji said this, Duhu was still sitting wherever he was sitting.
Kou Ji thought about it, and said: "I didn't mean to ask the bottom line, I just want to know what you do, and then I can help you calculate how much money you need.
I'm afraid you don't know the amount of money, and you don't have enough money I gave you. "
When Yahu heard this, he finally moved, and his mouth moved again.
Kou Ji stared at Duhu's mouth carefully, and finally saw clearly what Duhu wanted to express, "You said you have found an apprentice, and you want to use money to help him practice martial arts, so as to protect Tiancier?"
The dumb tiger nodded stiffly.
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You have never cared about the world. If there is no reason, you would not notice the safety of the Tiancier. Is it true that someone has followed the Tiancier and was discovered by you, so you plan to teach an apprentice to protect the Tiancier?"
Yahu nodded, then shook his head.
Kou Ji frowned, "You can't figure it out? Then you go get the man back and let me cross-examine him. By the way, take your chosen disciples back to the house, so I can see if they are innocent.
If you are innocent, you will stay in the house to practice martial arts with you.
Whatever you need, just go to the counter to get it.
I will tell the accountant. "
Yahu nodded and left the carriage quietly.
After Yuhu left, Kou Ji frowned and got out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage.
Some scholars who made troubles were killed, some arrested, and completely calmed down.
The lieutenant of the firearms camp, after Kou Ji got out of the carriage, rushed to Kou Ji's side and reported: "Private Kou, the assassins who assassinated you have been captured, please send them away."
Don't think they are soldiers of the imperial court, Zhao Zhen's people.
But Kou Ji gave orders to them, far better than Zhao Zhen.
They were all from the Manshan Firearm Camp, and they were all trained and brainwashed by the servants of the Kou Mansion.
The worship and admiration of Kou Ji is far more than that of Zhao Zhen.
If Kou Ji is the next order to kill without mercy, they will definitely implement it without hesitation.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Twist the living people to the criminal ministry's yamen, and hand them over to the criminal ministry's yamen for custody. Then I will write to the officials and let them deal with them."
"Hey..."
Kou Ji sent the people from the firearms camp and didn't want to enter the palace. He ordered them to enter the city of Bianjing to take a sick leave for himself, and hurried back to the house in a carriage.
After returning home.
He has been waiting with a gloomy face.
Until night fell.
Du Hu carried a person, led a person, and appeared in Kou Ji's study.
Duhu carried a middle-aged man on his shoulders and a child in his hands.
The middle-aged man is a man with a beard, wearing very ordinary clothes, has been knocked out by the dumb tiger.
A child is a child about seven years old.
His clothes were dirty, his face was dirty, his hair was messy, his eyes were bright, and there was a bit of curiosity and fear inside.
Kou Ji's eyes lingered on the middle-aged man for a while, and finally fell on the child.
Kou Ji said to the dumb tiger a little disgustingly: "You are not very competent as a master, and you don't know how to wash him..."
Dumb Tiger looked at Kou Ji blankly, without speaking.
It was the child who opened his mouth slightly, seeming to be defending Duhu, but there was no sound.
Kou Ji frowned slightly, "Just like Dumb Tiger, can't you speak?"
When the child heard this, he shuddered a little with a little fear, and his voice was very soft "Ah".
Kou Ji's brow furrowed tighter, "I'll take a look at my tongue."
Upon hearing this, the child hid behind the dumb tiger in fear.
The dumb tiger pulled him out mercilessly.
After the child was dragged out, he was a little at a loss.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, since you believe in dumb tiger, you should also believe in me."
The child hesitated for a moment and spit out his tongue.
Kou Ji looked at the tongue that had been cut off by a sharp weapon, and said coldly: "Sure enough, I am not born dumb..."
The child heard Kou Ji's voice turn cold, as if frightened, and hid behind Duhu again.
Kou Ji didn't look at him again, and said to the dumb tiger: "Like a frightened kitten, where did you pick it up?"
The dumb tiger opened his mouth silently.
Kou Ji finished reading the meaning of the dumb tiger's mouth, and his face became completely cold, "You mean, someone has more than a dozen of the same children?"
Kou Ji stared at the dumb tiger, "Where?"
The dumb tiger opened his mouth.
"underground?!"
"Lu Ming!!!"
Kou Ji shouted.
Lu Ming quickly appeared in Kou Ji's study.
Kou Ji coldly ordered, "You order three hundred guards, take my warrant, and follow Duhu. When Duhu begins to kill, you will kill, except for the young children."
Lu Ming looked stunned, and deliberately asked why.
But seeing the unprecedented coldness of Kou Ji's face, he agreed without hesitation.
"Here!"
Kou Ji finished Lu Ming's instructions, and said to the dumb tiger: "Go and show them a way. Your apprentice will take care of me temporarily."
Yahu hesitated and nodded.
Yahu left the child behind and walked out of the study with Lu Ming.
The child seemed to be a little afraid of Kou Ji, and moved to hide in the dark of the study.
Kou Ji said with a sullen face: "I have long heard that there are a group of evil spirits calling themselves'mud men' in the underground city of Bianjing. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that there is something really happening.
It is totally unreasonable that a gang of people abducting and selling the offal of women and children has been rampant up to now.
Successive prefects of Kaifeng Mansion should be pulled out to fill the wells. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji's eyes fell on the middle-aged man lying on the ground, "You stare at my son, do you want to attack my son?"
Kou Ji slowly got up, walked to the middle-aged man, raised his foot, and stomped heavily on the middle-aged man's finger.
The middle-aged man came back sober because of the pain.
As soon as he looked up, a black iron pipe hit his head.
"Kou Shu Mi spare my life!"
The middle-aged man screamed immediately when he saw the musket.
Kou Ji squinted and said, "Know this thing? Who are you?"
The middle-aged man almost didn't hesitate to open his mouth and said: "As the Privy Councilor Hui Kou said, the villain used to be a member of the Imperial City Division, and later joined the Liu Mansion and worked under the Three Young Masters."
Kou Ji suddenly rushed in front of the middle-aged man and pulled the collar of the middle-aged man. "Liu Heng's person?"
The middle-aged nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji hurriedly asked: "How did you escape when Liu Heng was arrested?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Since the young master became a general in the army, he has placed our brother in the army as scouts and gave us a clean identity.
So when the young master was arrested, we were not implicated. "
Kou Ji asked again: "Then why don't you stay in the army and run to Bianjing?"
The middle-aged man said: "After the young master was arrested, our brother slipped out of the barracks in the name of spying on the military situation and followed the young master all the way.
All the way to the edge of the Yellow River.
The people of the court destroyed the ship, changed a group of people, and secretly escorted the young master to the city of Bianjing.
We also followed back to Bianjing. "
Kou Ji's eyes widened in vain, "Liu Heng is in Bianjing?"
The middle-aged man nodded and shook his head again.
Kou Ji shouted: "What do you mean, are you kidding me?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "After the young master returned to Beijing, he was escorted to a secret cell. When we saw the young master again, the young master took the initiative to look for us."
Fearing that Kou Ji could not understand what he said, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "When the young master was escorted back to Beijing, the young people also contacted the young master to save the young master, but the young master did not agree. The young master said, if he escaped. , People in the world will definitely think that you did it and it’s not good for you."
By implication, Liu Heng knew they were following.
Kou Ji glared at the middle-aged man, "Go on!"
The middle-aged man whispered: "After the young master found us, he ordered the villain and another brother to stay and secretly look after the young master. He took the rest of the people and left Bianjing."
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "He didn't leave me anything?"
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "Master said, he is sorry for you."
"Nonsense! What's worthy of the brothers, I'm sorry!"
Kou Ji shouted angrily.
Then stared at the middle-aged humanity: "He didn't complain that I was not saved?"
The middle-aged man gave a wry smile and said: "The young master said, his eldest brother caused trouble, and it is all light to punish the Jiu Clan. You can risk beheading, plead for him, protect Liu family incense, your kindness to him I can't afford it for a lifetime.
The young master said, you are his elder brother, so he doesn't need to say much about thanking him.
He also said that you can take care of the young master, so he can rest assured.
See you again the next day, he will definitely drink a swig with you. "
Kou Ji looked gloomy.
The middle-aged man continued: "The young master also said that the officials took your face and spared his life. But the death penalty is unavoidable, and the living sin cannot escape.
The officials forbid him to show up in front of people, and ordered him to go overseas to move a silver mountain back. "
"Go overseas and move to Yinshan? Was it a country?"
Kou Ji murmured in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man looked surprised and said: "How do you know this?"
Kou Ji glared at the middle-aged man, "Nonsense! I passed on the issue of Yinshan in the country of Japan."
The middle-aged man looked stunned.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "The official family has assigned Liu Heng."
There is no confirmation that the Japanese government has Yinshan.
Except for Kou Ji who knew it was true, everyone else didn't believe it.
Zhao Zhen asked Liu Heng to move to Yinshan in Wa, it was simply a distribution.
"The heart is so dark..."
Kou Ji cursed in a low voice, it was Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen not only took away Kou Tianci from him as a servant, but also asked Liu Heng to move Yinshan to Yinshan.
Kou Ji wouldn't curse if there was no Silver Mountain in the Wa country.
The key is that the Japanese country really has it.
As long as Liu Heng arrives in the Wa country smoothly, the Yinshan of the Wa country will be named Zhao from then on.
Kou Ji didn't worry about whether Liu Heng would encounter resistance after he arrived in the country.
Liu Heng shouldn't use the natives of the Wa country as slaves.
Still resisting? !
