Daming King of Punishment

Page 579

"Okay, since Mr. Song has something important to do, this subordinate will report it right away. Please Mr. Song stay here later."

After the imperial guard said this, he invited Song Wuya in sideways, but he didn't let Song Wuya go in, but just waited at the back door.

After the imperial guard left, it was a complete torment for Song Wuya.He was afraid that the governor of the provincial government would persuade King Jin, so King Jin immediately issued an order.In that case, it would be too late. No matter what he said, it would be very difficult for King Jin to take back his order.

I don't know how long it has passed, Song Wuya's inner anxiety, even a little time, seems to have been a long wait.

When the imperial guard came back again, Song Wuya immediately rushed forward.

"How is it? Did King Jin say he wanted to see me?"

"King Jin ordered his subordinates to go to the study and wait for Mr. Song. He will come soon." The guard nodded.

Fortunately, King Jin finally agreed to meet him.

When Song Wuya came to the study, it didn't take long for King Jin to come here.

"Brother Song, you came here in such a hurry to find me as a lobbyist, right?" King Jin said straight to the point as soon as he entered the study. He obviously guessed what Song Wuya was thinking.

Regarding this point, Song Wuya did not hide the slightest bit: "The prince is right."

"Hey! The governor of the provincial government couldn't wait, and just forced the king to order the secret execution of those juzis. I think Lord Song must have come to intercede for those juzis. Do you think the king killed them? Or Let them go?" King Jin put the question directly on the table and said.

"Prince Jin, they can't kill them." Song Wuya said with certainty.

He knew very well in his heart that what he said might not be in line with King Jin's wishes. Maybe King Jin had already made a decision at this moment, and he just wanted to see what he thought.

"Haha! This king knew you would say that." King Jin laughed and sat down beside him.

He pointed to the chair beside him, motioning for Song Wuya to sit down and talk.

After Song Wuya sat down, he immediately said again: "King Jin, it is not clear why these candidates were arrested by the lord of the provincial government. If they are determined to be members of the Wuliang Sect at this time, it will be a big deal for them. It would be too unfair to say."

"You're right, this king has also considered this point. But Mr. Song probably knows better than this king what the existence of Wuliangjiao is, right? They are the existence that wants to overthrow the imperial court. Do you think this king is against them? What's the point? Or is it more appropriate to kill the wrong and never let it go?" King Jin still didn't prepare to tell Song Wuya what he meant, but continued to let Song Wuya answer this question.

Song Wuya took a deep breath and said with emotion: "My lord, the results brought about by killing and not killing are completely different. If they don't kill, they have already become useless people. What do you think they can do again? Is it a storm? And if they are killed, no matter whether they are killed by mistake or not, how will the court explain to the people of the world, how to explain to the scholars in the world? I have fought against the Wuliangjiao several times, and their power in the court and the public is really hard to estimate. Along the way, among the officials investigated and dealt with, how many of them belong to them?"

King Jin kept asking him to answer questions, and Song Wuya also threw out more questions.

"Now that the situation is like this, if you want to completely eradicate the Wuliangjiao, it is not enough to kill a few disciples. Their power is so great that it is unimaginable. Even if these disciples are members of the Wuliangjiao, killing them It is useless. But if they are not, those who know all their experiences will naturally not believe the answer given by the court. At that time, the scholars in the world will be chilled, and the court will not be able to support it without talents. of."

Facing King Jin, Song Wuya didn't have the slightest reservation.He didn't worry that what he said would make King Jin unhappy after listening to it, and he didn't worry that King Jin would doubt Song Wuya because of this matter, he just wanted to explain the seriousness of the matter.

King Jin's face showed deep thought, Song Wuya's words obviously reached his heart.He is not someone who is desperate for imperial power, otherwise he would definitely not be just King Jin.As a member of the royal family, he knew the danger the royal family was facing, and he also knew that to solve such a danger, it was definitely not just a matter of killing a few people.

"Brother Song is very reasonable!" After hesitating for a long time, King Jin finally said with emotion: "You can be said to have spoken to this king's heart. After this king wanted to kill them, this matter was settled. But This king can't do that, not to mention whether doing so will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world, at least this king can't explain to the people, and he can't explain to himself. It is precisely because of this that this king ordered Let me go and ask Brother Song for advice."

"What King Jin means is that you don't want to kill them?" Song Wuya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

King Jin's words had obviously been made very clear, he did not decide to kill these juzi.

Jin Wang shook his head: "Yes! Now that the imperial examination is coming, if this king kills these candidates, what will the other candidates think? And if this king listens to the words of the governor, I am afraid that he will not know how to kill them." How many moves? It will be difficult to say whether there are still talents in Enke at that time. Brother Song should also be able to see that this king is not a fatuous and incompetent person. The king will also consider it. Although this king is new to the ramp, he knows a lot about this matter. According to the reports from the people below, all of these arrestees have well-written articles, and they all have good articles. There are also rumors in the newspapers that the reason why these scholars were arrested is that someone wants to borrow their articles to make some ulterior secrets."

Song Wuya's heart was overjoyed by King Jin's words, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Prince Jin is really extraordinary, I just found out about this matter. I didn't expect that King Jin had already inquired about all this just after arriving here."

"Brother Song, this is not like you!" King Jin gave Song Wuya a wicked smile, "When did you learn to flatter me?"

This remark made Song Wuya feel embarrassed, he really flattered King Jin just now, the purpose was to make King Jin feel at ease, so that this matter can be dealt with lightly.

"Prince Jin was joking." Song Wuya said in embarrassment, bringing the matter aside. "I also searched along this clue, and found a little clue, but it was cut off halfway."

"Oh? What is the clue?" King Jin asked curiously.

Song Wuya immediately said: "We found in the city that many people have entered the Guanshan Restaurant. As far as we know, this Guanshan Restaurant is definitely not a place that ordinary people can go to. We walked along the way, this This is already the third Guanshan restaurant we have seen, and the owner behind the scenes of this Guanshan restaurant actually has some dealings with private salt. Although we can't prove this in the end, we have seen it with our own eyes. Those Those who enter and exit Guanshan Restaurant are definitely not here for consumption, because they do not belong to the category of customers of Guanshan Restaurant. Finally, we found out that the reason why they entered Guanshan Restaurant was to offer Certain officials paid bribes for this Enke.”

"Sure enough, there is such a thing." Jin Wang suddenly slammed the table beside him, with an angry expression on his face.

Song Wuya reached out from his pocket and took out a folded piece of rice paper, unfolded it, and handed it to King Jin.

"What is this?" King Jin was puzzled when he saw a few lines of poems written on the rice paper Song Wuya handed over to him.

Song Wuya pointed to the poem and signaled to King Jin: "Please read it, King Jin. Although this poem is not a good poem, it reveals a very big thing."

"Oh? This man is really a hero! It's just that the poem is not very good!" King Jin commented with a smile after reading the poem.

Song Wuya immediately shook his head, and explained again to the King of Jin: "We are gathering here today, everyone listen to what I have to say. The head of the Enkehui will be the head of the Enkehui, and it must be my Tang! King Jin, you can see clearly, this If this poem came from some well-learned scholar, then I would never say anything more. But this poem was written by an ignorant dude. Do you still think it is just his tone of voice? ?"

"Oh? Brother Song, what do you mean to say that the reason why this dude has such a big tone is because he bribed the imperial examination examiners, so he knew the result in advance?" After hearing this, King Jin understood Song Wu career meaning.

Song Wuya nodded, "That's right, that's right. This person has a very bad reputation among all the candidates, and he is definitely not a talented person. He wrote this poem that day, and everyone's sighs and praises came immediately. Indignation, it can be seen that this person is ordinary."

"Huh!" Jin Wang exhaled heavily: "If you want to verify this matter, you can only wait until the opening of the imperial examinations."

Song Wuya did not refute this point, after all, the result has not come out, and no one can prove his intention in writing this poem.

"Report!"

While the two were discussing this matter, an urgent call came from outside the door.

King Jin looked up and nodded, and the guards outside the door immediately got up and entered the study.

"Reporting to the lord, we have already personally checked those moves. There are no ghost paw prints on their chests that Master Song said." Song Wuya was relieved by the guard's words, but he was relieved just now. The conversation suddenly changed: "But the informant who testified against them has already been assassinated."

Chapter 6 and Two

?Chapter 6 Zero Two Murderous

"What?" Song Wuya suddenly exclaimed.

Originally, he thought that this matter was over.With this most direct evidence, although there is no way to completely prove that they have nothing to do with Wuliangjiao, it is almost certain.

However, things were not so simple. The person who was said to be dead by the guard suddenly pulled this situation into the abyss again.

"That person was assassinated, and four words were left on the scene." The guard's calm face did not change at all, such things were obviously insignificant to him. "Misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"Brother Song, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to solve this matter!" King Jin laughed after hearing this.

As he said, things were getting worse for him.Although it is only four short words, these four words are enough to explain everything, that is what the murdered person said, which angered the murderer.The terrible thing is that now there is no way to catch the murderer, and there is no way to determine the intention of leaving this word, whether it is to blame or not.

But from a literal point of view, after this person reported to the government that the [-] candidates were involved in Wuliangjiao, that's why he was killed.

Even if there is no evidence to prove it, but the superficial meaning, I am afraid that most people will believe it.

After nodding his head, Song Wuya sighed, "Prince Jin, I really feel a little helpless this time. The other side has made it clear that they want to put these cases to death. Not only that, but they also want to force you to Come and do this!"

"Yes! I'm afraid this time, this king will not be able to escape being a villain." King Jin also said with emotion, he also knew what kind of results would be brought by doing so, but he had no choice but the right to choose , although it was in front of him, but this matter is probably beyond his control.

Song Wuya said again: "If these twenty candidates are really Wuliangjiao's spies who want to infiltrate the imperial court, then what the Wuliangjiao has done this time just confirms the identities of these candidates? Although It is said that those candidates are now equivalent to useless people, but they have exposed their purpose by doing so. King Jin, do you think the Wuliang Church is doing such a stupid thing?"
