Chapter 690 Even the big punishment is useless, you dare to recruit?

Ordinary people, when encountering something like Li Kui, they can cover it up, just wipe it out. Just wipe it out big things and turn it into small things.

But Li Kui was not like this. He wanted to dig out all the people targeting him and then catch them all in one go.

He once forced the bandits to the ground and the bandit leader knelt on the ground and shouted to him: "Good life, king!"

This time, Li Kui undoubtedly set a record, causing the former old censor to howl at him in despair: "Is there any kingly law in the Song Dynasty?"

But is Li Kui the kind of person who is so stingy and stingy?

no.

It's impossible for the next life.

He didn't give Zhang Shangying any time to react, and pointed at Zhang Shangying and cursed: "Thief, do you know that my military command is responsible for the most important secret of the Song Dynasty? It is a magic weapon that Liaogou and Dangxiangnu wished they knew, which was developed by our military command. Before you broke into my military command, do you know that a few hours ago, the most important military drawings of my Song Dynasty were placed on a desk less than five feet away from you?"

"I don't know!"

"Hmph, you don't know. Do you think that a word you don't know can erase the fact that you were being used by Liao Gou?"

"Do you think that a word you don't know can embellish your ugly face as Song Tse?"

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Zhang Shangying shrank his head timidly, then looked at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun doesn’t know either!

He didn't know what the Military Control Bureau was doing. He only knew that the coal ball stoves on the streets of Bianliang in Tokyo are all the business of the Military Control Bureau. This is not because Zhang Dun deliberately wanted to underestimate the combination of Li Kui and Cai Jing. Li Kui was recognized as the God of Wealth in the Song Dynasty. His methods of making money were amazing.

And Cai Jing?

If you ask, the person who makes the most money in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was Li Kui, but the person who is most obsessed with money was definitely Cai Jing.

This guy had no choice but to sell characters to increase his income.

It has to be said that Cai Jing's calligraphy is also among the top ones in the era when there are many experts.

Especially the big characters with signs are almost unmatched. The brushwork is sophisticated and the fonts are vigorous, and they are like the current master of calligraphy. Unfortunately, no matter how well the writing is written, it can’t be sold at the price.

From Zhejiang Road, to Lianghuai Road, to Chengdu Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture... as long as he becomes an official, there are signs written by him. When he is a high official position, he has a sign of thirty cents and a low official position. When he is lucky, he will not dislike him. He will write greed for money on his face, and there is no one else among the civil officials of the Song Dynasty.

These two people were mixed together, and Zhang Dun's first idea was whether the Ministry of Revenue could leave the military command out when the Ministry of Revenue made the budget at the beginning of the year.

He believed that if the Military Control Bureau did not allocate funds, he could live a better life than other yamen.

As for other aspects, Li Kui gives people the feeling of being a reckless man. But Zhang Dun doesn't believe these at all. If Li Kui was a reckless man, how could he conquer such a huge business empire? If Li Kui was a reckless man, how could he be so obscenely killed by him? If Li Kui was a reckless man, how could he regard Liu Baosheng as a rare treasure in his teenage years and support the imperial concubine's family all the way?

Li Kui's reckless personality is just a means of confusing people. Is it a weakness he deliberately shows. It is a weakness he deliberately reveals, or is it a weakness he or she?

But even Zhang Dun had never seen Li Kui reasoning. Now he finally saw it. Not to mention it, his ruthlessness was even more sharp than him. As soon as he spoke, he nailed Zhang Shangying to the pillar of shame of morality.

Zhang Shangying had no choice but to plead with Zhang Dun: "Zhang Xiang, the official is wronged!"

"Whether you say it is wrong, it doesn't matter. The facts only have the final say. If you don't have selfishness, how could you be used by Liao dogs? How could you lead people to attack the military commander's yamen? If you don't have selfishness, how could you betray the Song Dynasty and become a lackey of Liao people?"

Faced with Li Kui's questioning, Li Kui took a step forward, and Zhang Shangying took a step back in fear.

It was not until his back leaned against the wall that he realized: "No! I am the one who reported it!"

Now, Zhang Shangying was no longer afraid and roared like a madman: "Li Kui, if you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself. Do you think that if you force robbed the girl in Yan'an Prefecture, you can block the world's long mouth by framed by the means of framing the official?"

"Zhang Xiang, I want to submit a memorial to the court. When Li Kui was the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture, he forced a married woman to make people despise her."

In the face of Zhang Shangying's report, Zhang Dun hesitated. He looked at Li Kui and judged from his heart that he believed Zhang Shangying's remarks. Even Li Kui's disregardless personality could almost anger the Queen Mother Xiang in the capital. When he went to the local area, he did not do anything out of order, which was not in line with his personality.

"Renjie, what do you say?"

Li Kui laughed and said, "Zhang Xiang, do you think the Tongliao case is important, or some trivial matters between men and women are important?"

Zhang Dun looked at Li Kui strangely, and his heart was clear. Li Kui was not honest. But as the prime minister of the empire, can he say that national affairs are not important, but men and women are important?

But Li Kui walked around Zhang Shangying for a few times. While walking, he was also polite and said: "I'll ask you, Lord Zhang, the court appointed you as the Observer of the Fuyan Road. This official position is a temporary dispatch. Since it is a temporary dispatch, it means that the court attaches great importance to the Fuyan Road and even the Xixia opposite the Fuyan Road. Your responsibility should be to understand the current situation of the people on Fuyan Road and can you have a meal? The situation in the army, how can the fortress repair resist the attack of the Dangxiang people? Are there any signs of war on the border? Have you collected all this information?"

As for Li Kui's familiarity with civil officials in the Song Dynasty, the magistrates in the frontier were better, and the Central Plains and even the magistrates in the heart of the Song Dynasty did not care about government affairs.

I basically didn't know about the matters in the jurisdiction. The duty of the observer is indeed to monitor the local area, but how could a person like Zhang Shangying do things pragmatically?

Sure enough, when Li Kui asked, Zhang Shangying became mute.

He said in a panic: "I've been there for a short time, not as long as..."

"Bao, the court gives you a salary, so you can go to travel and play in the mountains and rivers and frame your colleagues? When you were in Yan'an Prefecture, I was also in Yan'an Prefecture. I went to Qingtang to destroy the Kingdom of Yasiluo, and you were still in Yan'an Prefecture. Do you know that Yan'an Prefecture has 18,000 troops garrisons, two commanders, six generals, and six generals in the camp. Among them, only 50% of the soldiers were only between the ages of twenty and thirty-five. In the direction of the Western Xia Youzhou, opposite Yan'an Prefecture, there are 30,000 infantrymen in the Jianing Army. In the direction of Yulin, Xiangyou Army, with 50,000 cavalrymen."

"As such a fragile frontier, you are not enterprising and serve the country, but do some slack things. What is the use of the court to support you? What is the use of the people to support you? Haven't you been ashamed of eating the rice from the granary warehouse of Yan'an Prefecture?"

"Forget it." Li Kui was so angry that he was disgusted as if he was about to throw away a fly: "You are a worm, a mediocre official, naturally you can't understand the importance of family, country, and the world. This is the righteous spirit in the hearts of our scholars. As for being tempted by the Liao people, you can only blame yourself for being brainless. Zhang Xiang, do you still want to protect such a despicable villain?"

Unexpectedly, Li Kui not only forced Zhang Shangying, but also brought Zhang Dun with him.

But not only did Zhang Dun not get angry, he was willing to help Li Kui with help. He also wanted to know who Zhang Shangying had defected to?

Zhang Dun knew that he had to give an attitude. If he didn't speak again, Li Kui might have to talk about his character as he was like Zhang Shangying, a fool. After coughing, Zhang Dun said in a deep voice: "Before the awakening, you are also an old man in the officialdom. Don't you have any caution?"

"Zhang Xiang, the official, don't know what this is meant?" Zhang Shangying was completely panicked. When he met Zhang Dun, he was still looking forward to it. After all, he was his own person, and the friendship of the past should still be there.

But as soon as Zhang Dun spoke, all his fantasies were shattered.

But compared to betraying his colleagues, Zhang Shangying was still a little shameful. He refused to admit it and said, "Zhang Xiang, what the Xiaguan did is the original intention of the Xiaguan, and no one will instigate him later. Don't ask Zhang Xiang too much, you can't ask."

Zhang Dun's face suddenly became unfavorable.

Zhang Shangying's move was equivalent to excluding him from his own camp.

But before Zhang Dun's attack was done, Li Kui stepped forward and suggested to Zhang Dun: "Zhang Xiang, there must be something hateful about a poor person. This thief can conceal the person behind him, and is obviously a person with great status. The subordinate advised to take Zhang Shangying into custody and ask carefully."

Zhang Shangying was not afraid, so he took the imperial court's orders and asked nothing to say.

Zhang Dun was also hesitant and asked Li Kui: "Renjie, where do you think is the right place?"

What Li Kui wanted to say most was that the military command was quite suitable. Unfortunately, the military command did not even have a prison, so it was illegal to imprison and torture officials. Moreover, Li Kui firmly believed that Zhang Shangying's skeleton would stop everything after a blow. Before, he ordered people to beat him to beat him twenty boards. If it weren't for the inquiry at that time, there would be no such trouble now. Zhang Shangying would have tortured Li Kui to death quickly and sign and write.

If he was sincerely questioned, Li Kui firmly believed that as long as he had another fight, he could find out the dirty things in Zhang Shangying's belly. He also wanted to serve the tiger bench and pepper water. Of course, pepper water was too luxurious, and this thing was not worthy of Song Dynasty today. But without pepper water, wouldn't it be possible?

As long as people dare to think about it, any magical new thing will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Unfortunately, the Military Control Bureau has no right to ask for the case. Don’t think of slandering officials. Li Kui rolled his eyes, wondering whether to ask Zhang Dun for this power?

Otherwise, the military commander will have a reputation but no punishment and lack of deterrence!

There were people with courage like Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu in the Song Dynasty, but more of them were cowards with particularly soft knees. Zhang Shangying definitely did not belong to people who were indifferent to life and death.

Such a villain, as long as he dares to fight to death, he may have been called without being punished.

Thinking of this, Li Kui asked Zhang Dun: "Zhang Xiang, don't let the Military Control Bureau set up a torture room..."

Zhang Dun hurriedly stopped him: "Don't even think about it. The Military Control Bureau can interrogate officials, are you Li Kui going to God?"

"No, the officials just want to put some effort into the court." Li Kui looked at Zhang Shangying a little regretfully, who was afraid of the twenty-pin board of the military commander. He had just been fighting for a while. Who knows what bad moves Li Kui is holding on?

He couldn't take revenge himself, so Li Kui could only kick Zhang Shangying into the fire pit. He immediately changed his words: "Zhang Xiang, Zhang Shangying was once the censor of the Censorate. Perhaps he went to Wutai to reflect and could tell the person behind the scenes under the influence of his former colleagues."

"This..." Zhang Dun was moved and stroked his beard and was about to agree.

But Zhang Shangying was anxious. When he was in the Censorate, Zhang Dun used him as a nail to force him into the Censorate. There was no friendship between colleagues at all, only gritting his teeth and hatred.

Everyone in the Censorate knew that Zhang Shangying was here to smash Liu Anshi and other treacherous people who had jobs in the Censorate. Who could this guy have friends in the Censorate?

Li Kui knew that he had many enemies in the officialdom, but he still underestimated Zhang Shangying, who had more enemies in the officialdom than him.

When Zhang Shangying heard that he was going to Wutai, which is the prison cell of the censor, he suddenly became anxious and said to Zhang Dun: "Secretary Zhang, you asked me to go to the Censorate at the time! Now that Liu Anshi is still the Chief Censor, he has gone to the position of the official position, wouldn't he be dead?"

Zhang Dun said angrily: "You still don't want to talk about the person behind the scenes?"

"I dare not say it!" Zhang Shangying wanted to be tough, hoping that Zhang Dun could think about his past relationship. As for dealing with Li Kui, he would never want to meet Li Kui in his life, let alone dealing with Li Kui.

The lesson this time was enough to alert him in this life.

Zhang Dun was hesitating, but Li Kui opened his mouth lightly and said, "No one knows when the knife behind him will fall. If he can't take care of himself, someone will die!"

As soon as these words were said, Zhang Dun immediately became determined and said with a cold face: "Zhang Shangying, are you going to Wutai to confess your love?"

Zhang Shangying was shocked and said in horror: "Zhang Xiang, the lower official will die in Wutai!"

It’s true that if others go to Wutai, the censors will only treat it as a task. When Zhang Shangying went to the Censors, he still went as a suspect who needed the suspect in Chen Qing. The censors in Wutai would be as happy as if they were about to celebrate the New Year.

In the eyes of the censors, Zhang Shangying is like a New Year pig for the New Year.

Killing is definitely something you need to kill, but you need to kill beautifully and festively, and create a festive atmosphere.

Just imagine, if Liu Anshi knew that Li Kui sent Zhang Shangying to Wutai's cell as a criminal, this stubborn and unreasonable old censor would raise funds from the Censorate and invite Li Kui to the best Fengle Building in the capital, eat the most expensive dishes and call the best girl, and thank Li Kui for giving them the opportunity to kill their enemies.

Zhang Shangying screamed in surprise: "Zhang Xiang!"

"Zhang Xiang!"

...

Just like Brother Zhu who was unwilling to die, Zhang Shangying struggled desperately. But Li Kui sneered in front of him: "You dare to hide something that doesn't know how to live or die for Liao Gou?"

Although this was deliberately angering Zhang Shangying, Zhang Shangying seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She was almost pulled out of the Dushitang, but suddenly shouted: "Zhang Xiang, I said, I said..."

Zhang Shangying, who was pulled down in front of Zhang Dun again, lay on the ground and cried aggrievedly, whimpering... tears of regret instantly wet her clothes.

"Who is behind your back?"

"King Jiang Xu, the Minister of Dali Temple."

"Who is the Ministry of Justice?"

"Xing Shu, Minister of Justice."

"What else?"

"Lin Xi, Minister of Rites."
