The Golden Age

Chapter 40: Scapegoat

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiaoda admired Gu Baiyi in his heart.

Although Gu Baiyi is only a clerical man, his eyes are stern, and he sees the problem sharply.

Han Yunong was detained by the Ministry of War and was in danger. Qin Xiaochu entered Kyoto and was isolated and helpless. Had it not been for Gu Baiyi to figure out a way to use the Ministry of Justice, Han Yunong escaped from the Ministry of War.

At this time, listening to Gu Baiyi asserting that Han Yunong would not be in danger, he was happy and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, are you saying that Duwei Han will be safe and sound?"

"Don't worry, at least for now, the Criminal Ministry will protect him at all costs." Gu Baiyi said calmly: "I asked you to find the Criminal Ministry yesterday. Actually, you can only be sure about 70%. I'm not sure that the Criminal Ministry will take action. Brother. On the face of it, it seems that the Ministry of Penalty has acted on Fan Wenzheng, but it is not the Ministry of Penalty who actually shot.

Qin Xiao's eyeballs rolled, and he understood a bit, approached Gu Baiyi, and lowered his voice, "Is it a saint?"

Gu Baiyi nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has been involved in large-scale cases in the past, and countless people have been implicated. However, all the cases that Lu Junzhong personally involved in were bloodshed. Back then, the saint needed to use Lu Junzhong's knife. To kill, the more people killed, the better, but then the power against the saints in the DPRK was wiped out. Naturally, Lu Junzhong had to put away this knife. Keeping this knife was just a deterrent, and because of this Over the years, Lu Junzhong has not been able to start a major case because he knew very well in his heart that the saint did not want to make the court more turbulent.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, knowing what Gu Baiyi had said was reasonable.

"Lu Junzhong can sit firmly in the penalty department. In addition to being loyal to the saint, the most important thing is to be able to understand the saint's mind." Gu Baiyi said indifferently: "When the saint is about to kill, he immediately unsheathed this knife and wants to calm down. , He put the knife into its sheath, and the heat control was just right."

"Then this time he did his hands on the Ministry of War, naturally he understood the saint's intentions?"

Gu Baiyi stretched out his hand and took a piece of pastry in his hand. He seemed to like eating sweets very much. He was not polite with Qin Xiao. He relished: "Xiling rebellion, losing the city and losing ground, soon the world will be known. Fan Wenzheng detained Lieutenant Han, deliberately wanting It’s a pity that he was destined to be unable to escape from the beginning of this incident. He should have pleaded with the saint immediately after learning about the Xiling rebellion, and blamed the Changsheng Army for failing to be transferred out of the gate in time. It’s all on yourself. In this way, although Shang Shu’s position cannot be kept, his life should be intact, let alone his family."

"He is not confused, but unwilling to lose the power in his hands." Qin Xiao sneered: "Power makes people fascinated by the power, let him voluntarily hand over the power in his hands, he can't do it anyway."

Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "What Brother Qin said is extremely true. Not only is he unable to do it, but how many people in this world can know how to advance and retreat? He made a fatal mistake because he forgot that the saint needs someone to bear the loss. The responsibility of Xiling has been the best scapegoat from the very beginning."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and Gu Baiyi sighed: "The Ministry of War wants to take money from the household department and use it as a bargaining chip to mobilize the Changsheng Army to leave the customs. It will bargain with the household department. It was allocated, but the treasury was tight. Which of the branch offices was not waiting for the money. This household department and the branch offices were also close to each other. Naturally it was not easy for the Ministry of War to get the money, so the two offices were entangled, and no one thought about it. Adjust the army in time. After all, it was the Datang Treasury that had a problem, and the household department was also to blame for the affairs of the Longevity Army. The direct responsibility fell on the military department."

Qin Xiao looked solemn and did not speak.

Datang used to conquer the Quartet, all countries

Surrender, all industries are prospering, and there are rumors that there is too much money in the national treasury. In order to reduce the pressure on the warehouse, from time to time, the disobedient barbarians are sent troops to beat them, which consumes money and food, and can also deter the disobedient guys.

Who would have thought that Datang has become so weak now that he can't even get any money for sending a soldier and horse to Xiling.

"Fan Wenzheng didn't understand, Lu Junzhong understood." Gu Baiyi said, "You went to the Criminal Ministry yesterday and reported the disappearance of Duwei Han, and you were directly involved in the Ministry of War. Lu Junzhong immediately smelled the blood and knew his chance. Arrived."

Qin Xiaodao: "The saint's will is to only investigate the principal offender, and it should not be too far-reaching."

"The saint is thinking of pulling Fan Wenzheng out to give an explanation to the people of the world, but Lu Junzhong finally waited for the opportunity. Although he wanted to complete the saint's mind, he naturally did not let go of the opportunity to show his skills." Gu Baiyi took a bite. Pastry, whispered: "A person like Lu Junzhong, if it is profitable, will naturally do everything, but even if it is not profitable, as long as it can kill people and make power, he will never be vague." After a pause, Then he continued: "Lieutenant Han was the most important witness for his downfall of the Ministry of War. He naturally did his best to protect him. Both you and Lieutenant Han belonged to General Black Feather. In other words, you represent the military. In the case, the saint wants you to be the representatives of the military to call for injustice for the loss of Xiling and the murder of the general. In this way, taking Fan Wenzheng out of the crime means that the saint is the master of the military and gives the military an explanation."

Qin Xiao praised Gu Baiyi's insight into the situation of the court. He thought that Gu Baiyi was such a talent, but he was only a small clerk in Kyoto Prefecture. On the contrary, people like Lu Junzhong and Fan Wenzheng were in charge. This court is really stinking. Inaudible.

"So you and Duwei Han will have nothing to do on the bright side." Gu Baiyi said: "But there is no looting, but there are hidden arrows. Fan Wenzheng's downfall will harm the interests of many people. In their eyes, it is you and Duwei Han. A little ant broke things, so it is natural for them to step on two ants. Brother Qin and Lieutenant Han asked you to leave Kyoto. I understand this. I don’t want you to encounter it in Kyoto. Unexpectedly, the assassination last night may be just the beginning. No matter who planned the assassination behind the scenes, since it has already started, you will not let it go because you missed it. If you stay in Kyoto, you still have to be careful."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Brother Gu for the reminder. It's just that I know you and Sister Qiu Niang. I have been disturbing you in the past few days. I am afraid that those people have already known it, but this will affect you."

"You worry too much." Gu Baiyi smiled: "I'm just a little clerical clerk, and my sister is just a boat girl. There is no threat to them, and there is no interest in them. There is no need for the party members behind Fan Wenzheng. Do it with us. If you really want to see that I am not pleasing to your eyes, just a random order can make me get out of Kyoto Prefecture. In their eyes, dealing with a small official like me is the greatest punishment for letting me go without a job."

Qin Xiao didn't know if Gu Baiyi was comforting herself, but what he said made Qin Xiao feel at ease.

Gu Baiyi's temperament is kind, and it makes people feel very comfortable to get along with him, but Qin Xiao admits that his opinions are much higher than his own.

"Big Brother Gu, what do you think will be next?" Qin Xiao asked humbly.

Gu Baiyi finished eating the pastries in his hand and glanced at the pastry gift box. The pastries in this gift box were very particular. There were eight kinds of pastries in total, each of which was delicate and beautiful. Gu Baiyi ate three yuan, and Qiuniang originally took one. But I put it back without a bite.

There were five pieces of pastry in the gift box. Gu Baiyi was obviously embarrassed to take it again. Qin Xiao knew that Gu Baiyi liked sweets, so he took one.

Passed it to Gu Baiyi and said, "The remaining four yuan will be reserved for Sister Qiu."

Gu Baiyi laughed, took the cake, and whispered: "In fact, the situation is clear. The Criminal Ministry caught the biggest fish as soon as it took action. In the past, Lu Junzhong started with marginal figures and slowly involved a large group of people. Moved the top person. Now Fan Wenzheng is being taken. Since he has entered the Ministry of Justice and has the will of a saint, if Fan Wenzheng wants to suffer less, he should write a guilt quickly, so the main criminal should be within a few days. The decision can be settled within. Lu Junzhong is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. It is certainly not enough to defeat Fan Wenzheng. After all, the Ministry of War is such a big government office. Fan Wenzheng has many party members among them. It is not good for Lu Junzhong to leave Fan Wenzheng's party members to continue to control the Ministry ."

"I understand, what Gu's brother meant is that Lu Junzhong will use Fan Wenzheng's hand to implicate some people in the Ministry of Defense, and these people happen to be Fan Wenzheng's party members." Qin Xiao sighed, "Use Fan Wenzheng to go. Lu Junzhong's method is really clever to eliminate Fan Wenzheng's party members."

"This trick is Lu Junzhong's housekeeping skill." Gu Baiyi's tone was calm. "If Fan Wenzheng is really hard on his bones and bears the crime by himself and does not involve others, then Lu Junzhong dare not involve too much. After all, the saint has a will and cannot involve too many people. However, if Fan Wenzheng really had the consciousness of taking all guilt, he would not fall into the current situation, let alone enter the penalty department, his bones are still harder than the penalty ten. It is inevitable that officials from the Ministry of War were implicated in the six sects."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "The best result is that this case will soon be over. A group of people in the Ministry of War lost their heads because of the loss of Xiling. The court can also give an explanation to the people of the world. After this case, it fits the minds of the saints, and naturally you will be rewarded. As for Duwei Han and you, for exposing the guilt of the Ministry of War, the court always wants to commend you, maybe you can even give you some rewards, in the end Xiling lost No one mentions anything, everyone is happy."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Don't mention it? Brother Gu, Xiling is occupied by rebels, doesn't the court send troops to conquer?"

"Naturally, they will make a big fanfare and mobilize troops to counter the rebellion." Gu Baiyi thoughtfully, pondered slightly: "Maybe some soldiers will be sent out, but the court will not care about the victory or defeat. Okay, the court has no plans to use troops in Xiling."

"Lost the city and the land, the land is lost, they are not ready to use soldiers?" Qin Xiao said in a daze, "What do they want to do?"

Seeing Qin Xiao's excitement, Gu Baiyi was able to understand Qin Xiao's state of mind, and said softly, "Brother Qin, don't worry, it's useless to be anxious. Xiling rebellion, if not fully prepared, even as you said, there are Wutuo people behind. Support, how can they have the courage? Sending troops to Xiling is not to encircle and suppress a group of bandits, but to fight against the Xiling family and even the Wutuo people. Without adequate preparation, without tens of thousands of troops or even sufficient money and equipment, the court will never act rashly. ."

Qin Xiao and his party came to Kyoto to report the news, but the most important purpose was to let the court mobilize troops to quell the chaos.

Gu Baiyi's words made Qin Xiao's heart sink to the bottom.
