Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 139: The truth that no one cares about
After a while, there was no more movement in the room.
Wang Qingzhi passed the stumbling officials and walked out of the room. Master Lu, who was waiting outside, paid him a respectful salute.
"Did you get rid of all the people they brought?"
"Yes. This miraculous fragrance works well, and no one of those people can detect it." Master Lu glanced into the room, "How does the young master plan to deal with them?"
"Leave the Supervisor and Gong Cao, pour medicine to make you fools, and everyone else will kill." Wang Qingzhi has already deduced what he has to do several times, "but you must pay attention to the method when you kill, especially It is the prefect. After all, they are all good officials who fought bravely against the pirates and died unfortunately. As for the two who survived, it was shameful. They were greedy for life and feared death, and escaped. In the end, they became alive because of fear of responsibility and punishment. Frustrated."
Master Lu swallowed, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Huh?"
"No, I am not questioning the young master, but...they have taken care of the Wang family..."
"They are caring for the salt merchants and the salt tax, but not the Wang family." Wang Qingzhi shook his head, "You don't think that at this point, they have any way to survive?"
"Jinxia City was attacked by pirates and the princess was killed in chaos. Who was the first to bear the brunt? Of course, it was the officials of Jinxia City. Who was the second responsible? Shenzhou Mu and the garrison generals."
"The good result is the deprivation of official posts and exile on the border; the bad sentence was sentenced to death and beheaded to show the public. The ten most important officials of Jinxia City are the latter result. Compared with the pain and humiliation caused by torture, To die silently while sleeping is kind to them."
"I...understood." Master Lu bowed his head.
"It's not that I have no choice, and I don't want to." Wang Qingzhi patted him on the shoulder, "When the forest is on fire, how can the fire be stopped? The only way to extinguish the fire is to separate the forest and attack the fire with fire. They can be extinguished. As long as they are still alive, they may speak nonsense during the trial and drag anyone who is possible around them into the water. Since they are all dead, of course, let them die better for the Wang family."
In addition, the Wang family is not the only one who can benefit from this matter.
The faculty that proposed this plan, who is engaged in Wenxingyuan, may also be aiming to kill two birds with one stone.
The officials of the six ministries believed that the Privy Council must not interfere in local government affairs. As a result, a sudden pirate raid made the government ashamed and faceless. Wang Qingzhi could guess how much waves the Privy Council would make when he closed his eyes.
Wait until these big guys end up muddying the water, who else will care about the truth?
Compared to the two behemoths of the Sixth Department of the Imperial Court and the Privy Council of Gyeonggi, the Wang Family is still too inconspicuous after all...
"Master Lu, you follow me...you won't regret it?" Wang Qingzhi asked sincerely.
"Young master, the Wang family treats me as kind as a mountain. No matter what happens in the future, I am willing to live and die with the Wang family." The master replied without hesitation, "Besides you...I have seen the master Kind of shadow."
"I was trained by him alone, unlike who else he could be like." Wang Qingzhi smiled slightly, "It's just that his father is getting older, he will understand this when the dust falls on this matter."
……
On the beachhead between Jinxia City and the north bank, there is an old stone tower.
It was built a hundred years ago and has now been used by Qiguo as a watch tower for monitoring ships entering the sea and a beacon tower for warning.
Tian Shi is responsible for garrisoning here.
Along with him are three soldiers and a captain.
Although guarding the sentry tower is boring, the task itself is very easy. There is no need to perform exercises during the one-month garrison, and there is no need to worry about being reprimanded by the chief. During the day, you kill time by throwing dice, and in the evening, you can go to the wine shop to have a drink after the handover. The days are pretty comfortable.
Although the stone tower is stationed to monitor the river and the sea, no one really stays on the top of the tower for this. The place was like a steamer during the day, even if it was much cooler than it was in midsummer, it was not difficult to get a sweat in a short period of time. When the sweat and the lining are mixed together, let alone how uncomfortable it is, the taste alone is enough.
So people who want to go up and see will be rejected by everyone.
"Hey, stone, but come and play?" Chief Wu happened to be also named Wu, so everyone was named Wu Boss. I heard that it is a native of Jinxia, with a little connection behind it, and he is a frequent visitor to this errand.
"No, I lost 20 coppers yesterday. If I lose again, I won't have any money for the mother-in-law." Tian Shi waved his hand again and again.
"What if you win back today?"
"Yes, maybe I can pull more cloth for your lady!"
"You play, you play, I just watch."
A new round of dice begins.
Three dice and one bowl, simple but exciting. The head of the corps sometimes comes up with other things, such as Pai Gow and Number Lottery, but in the end everyone loves to play, or bet on the big or small.
"I heard that your wife is going to give birth?" Mr. Wu chatted casually while shaking his bowl.
"It's coming soon, it should be this year." Tian Shi happily said. He can only go back every two months, and the next vacation will be just after the garrison is over.
"I think Brother Stone is saving money!" Someone laughed.
"Good men are like this, unlike you, the money you win is spent on Sister Yao."
"Why, I didn't ask my mother-in-law, so I'm not allowed to have fun yet."
"Monkey Pan, you don't have a copper plate in your pocket. How can a girl like you."
Everyone couldn't help laughing in unison.
Tian Shi followed with a grin. The guy who was run was named Pan. His age and size were the youngest in this round of garrison. Everyone likes to call him Pan Monkey.
The latter is not conscious of being ridiculed, and is full of an expression of money and money.
"Okay, I'm going to open the lid, I'll buy it away!" Mr. Wu slapped the bowl and shouted loudly, "It depends on your luck tonight--"
Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled noise above his head.
Something seems to have fallen on the top of the tower.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. There is only one entrance to the watch tower. If you want to climb the stairs, you have to pass them. Now everyone is sitting on the bottom floor. No one might run up to the top.
But it's not their words, who made the movement above? Seabirds shouldn't be able to do this~ IndoMTL.com~ Don't move, don't move, you can't withdraw the bet after you place it. "Boss Wu stared, "Looking at your stupid stupidity, isn't it just the wind blowing something down?" Stone, you didn't play anyway, go up and see for everyone. "
"Good." Tian Shi got up, hung the straight knife around his waist, and walked up the stairs.
When I came to the top floor, the inside of the tower was still empty.
He thought for a moment, and simply pushed aside the movable cover on his head and poked his head out of the patio.
It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, Tian Shi jumped at first glance.
I don't know when there was an extra person on the top of the tower!
"Who are you and how did you come up?" He kicked his feet up to the top of the tower, and his right hand was already on the handle of the knife. If it wasn't for the other party to dress appropriately and look like a rich kid, he would probably have cut it off with this knife.
The other party turned his head and looked at him with his usual expression, "My son is just passing by here and wants to make a simple divination."
