I don't want to be king

Chapter 405
Those with higher skills or poorer skills are reluctant to use swords, and if they are broken, they have to spend their own money to buy them!
So just hit it with your fist!
The most painful thing is the people from Bingmasi. When they smashed the ground without hesitation, they were heartbroken.

It's okay to work hard, the key is where will the money come from to repair it!

Their soldiers and horses are as poor as ghosts now!
The saddest thing is that if they don't make it up well, it's their responsibility to turn around!

Both ends can't fall well.

Don't be so insulting!
After a while, a long hole was smashed into the ground in front of Xinghualou, exposing a water channel full of silt and sewage.

"My lord, there are footprints in the mud below, and
These are two female corpses,"

Jiang Yi walked up to Wei Yishan and said, "The thief must have escaped along the canal!"

Wei Yishan snorted coldly, "Then why are you still standing there?
Hurry up! "

"Yes!"

After the shocking response, Cao Xiaohuan pushed away the group of people in front of him, and was the first to dive into the ditch that only accommodated one person.

Then officers and soldiers arrested one after another, and they all followed behind Cao Xiaohuan one by one.

The moon is hazy.

Sitting on a rock, Tang Yi watched the people jumping out of the ditch, smiling all the time without saying a word.

An old man covered in mud also looked at Tang Yi surrounded by torches, and finally couldn't help but speak first, "So it's you, how long will you be young, and your temples will be gray.

Tang Yi, I didn't believe them when they said you were old, but now that I see you, it's really true. "

"I haven't seen you for many years, Mr. Prime Minister is still good at poetry, admire, admire,"

Tang Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's a pity that my lord has a bad memory. Have you forgotten how this old man came to Ankang City?"

Just because of 800 taels of silver!

He was escorted all the way from Qizhou to Ankang City, and suffered so many grievances!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth angrily.

"It turns out that it is really the prime minister,"

The old twelve didn't dare to admit it all the time, only now did he dare to confirm it when he heard Qi Yong speak, he cupped his hands and said, "Your prime minister made it easy for us to find.

This king really misses you very much, please come with me, my lord. "

Qi Yong ignored the old twelve, and only said to Tang Yi, "I remember that when my husband taught me how to compose poems, I said a sentence, that poems are created out of nothing, near but not floating, far and not endless, and then you can rhyme and speak out." To the ear.

The old man thinks that this is the same as being a man or an official. "

Tang Yi smiled and said, "You have fled in a hurry now, which just proves that being a man and an official is impossible."

Qi Yong glanced at Zhurou Rong and others who were holding torches, and snorted coldly, "I admire you very much, you can still guess the whereabouts of the old man, but it is a bit difficult for you to keep the old man."

Tang Yi said, "The master orders you to deliberately digress when you write a sentence, let it go first and then take it back, the poetic method is to let the horse rein in.

Your Excellency the Prime Minister can give it a try. "

"Then blame the old man for being rude, and I have to compete with you today."

As soon as Qi Yong's voice fell, the people who came out of the ditch rushed towards Tang Yi with swords.

Zhu Rourong and the others did not wait for Tang Yi's order, they greeted them with wooden sticks.

Just as Zhu Zhurong raised his stick, he was about to throw it down at a big man in front of him. The big man suddenly fell to the ground, and then he saw Cao Xiaohuan's face.

There is only one thought in his mind: the credit for getting it is gone.

There may even be a penalty!
If you act without authorization and get caught, you will definitely not get well.

He glanced at King Yong'an who also had a bitter face, and he immediately felt relieved.

Although King Yong'an is poor, he is taller than him. If there is anything wrong, he will definitely be able to stand up for him!

When the time comes, Lord He Jixiang smells it, and he and the general butcher just ask three questions.

Lin Yi sat by the tea stand and finished the two pots of tea. He Hong rode over and explained the matter briefly.

"Old Twelve?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "He's really good at meddling, bastard, he really deserves a beating."

He Hongdao, "My lord, King Yong'an is coming here. As for Tang Yi, I don't know how to deal with it. Please show me my lord."

Lin Yi said, "This king will not bury these capable people. Although he is Lao Twelve's grandfather, he should not be an idiot. Since he is familiar with Chen Desheng and He Jixiang, let him be sent there. He and the others arrange."

He Hong bowed and said, "My lord is wise."

As soon as he backed away, King Yong'an knelt down on the spot where he was originally standing.

"My brother is guilty!"

King Yong'an said with snot and tears, "Brother, forgive me!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You caught Qi Yong, what's your crime?"

The old twelve said with a bitter face, "I'm really not sure that I can catch Qi Yong, so I dare not report it to the government without authorization. When the time comes, I will work hard and mobilize all the people. If I don't catch it, I will lie about the military situation."

"So, you're still innocent,"

Lin Yi waved to him and said, "Get up, come and have a cup of tea with me."

The old twelve still knelt and said, "My brother dare not."

Lin Yi said, "Do you dare not listen to my words?"

"Yes."

Elder Twelve had no choice but to get up cautiously, then sat next to Lin Yi, and poured tea for Lin Yi himself.

Lin Yi took the teacup, drank it and said, "Let's talk about it, you really deserve credit this time, tell me, what do you want as a reward?"

The old twelve said with a smile, "It is the greatest blessing for my brother to be able to share the worries of the emperor."

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "If I let you be the patriarch of the clan mansion, what do you think?"

"Don't dare, my younger brother speaks lightly, how dare he take on such a big responsibility."

The old twelve shook his head hurriedly.

Besides, now that the clan's support has been cancelled, and the clan's mansion exists in name only, what good will it do for him to go?
It's better to stay at home and lie down!
Although I have no money, I can't starve to death!
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Go to the clan mansion to take on an errand, and you will get paid every month. Are you sure you don't want to go?"

"Have money to take?"

The old 12's eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly, "But in terms of qualifications, there are still many elders in the clan, so I don't have a place to speak."

He really loves money!
However, I cherish my life even more!

The previous Zongling was beaten to death by his brother!

Lin Yi said, "Elder?
I didn't kill them, it's enough to give them face, and I want to receive my salary, it's just a dream. "

Elder Twelve could feel his Ninth Brother's cruelty towards the old man in the clan, and said more cautiously, "Then there is Sixth Brother."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Your Sixth Brother, I have other uses.

You go to the clan's mansion tomorrow to take office.

See who is not pleasing to the eye, just give me a hard time, if you can find an excuse to raid the house, that would be even better, when the time comes, you and my brother will open on September [-]. "

"Brother Huang is wise!"

The old twelve was so happy that he almost jumped up when he heard this sentence!
Since the announcement of the abolition of clan support, there have indeed been a lot of outrageous disturbances in the clan.

Some even paid literati to write poems to slander his Nine Emperor Brothers.

His Brother Nine Emperors has never had time to talk to them.

His relatives are rich!

There are fields one after another, groups of wives and concubines, thousands of servants, and the amount of grain and silver in the warehouse is unknown!

These people are forced to be prostitutes, and they have a lot of blood and debts. If you really care about it, no one is innocent!
His imperial brother asked him to ransack the house?

What is the difference between this and picking up money!
Lin Yi went on to say, "When you search the house, you need to pay attention to the evidence. After you get the money from others, how to judge it is the matter of the third division, so don't meddle in it."

Originally, he had left things like ransacking the house to people like Gan Mao and Chen Jingzhi.

However, all the money obtained in the end was intercepted by He Jixiang, Chen Desheng and others, and used for military expenses.

Not a penny fell into his personal pocket!

Now he finally understood why his father had to separate the inner treasury from the outer treasury so clearly.

The treasury's money and your own money are still different after all!

He was so poor that he couldn't afford to pay the guards monthly.

A daughter-in-law is about to give birth, no matter if it is a son or a daughter, they all need money!

He just wants to make money!
"Brother, don't worry,"

The old twelve vowed, "My brother will never let you down!"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Your grandfather is a man. In the future, you should listen to his advice and don't act recklessly."

Twelve is not stupid.

After hearing this, I thought about it and thought about it.

Is this hoping to be close to my grandparents, or not?
I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I could only cup my hands and say, "What Brother Huang said is true."

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes."

The old twelve stepped back carefully.

As soon as he reached the intersection, the butcher was stopped by Zhurou Ronghe.

Pork Rong hurriedly said, "What do you say to the prince?"

The old twelve said angrily, "I'm fine. As for whether you are fine or not, that's not up to me. You guys, hurry up and go to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Mr. He from the province is looking for you everywhere."

"what"

Both of them were taken aback.

The butcher said angrily, "My lord, we are following your orders.

You can't ignore it now! "

The old twelve said, "Don't worry, I'm just kidding you. The credit for catching Qi Yong is real. In any case, the credit is greater than the fault. What do you have to be afraid of?"

Rourou Rong scratched his head and said, "That's true."

The butcher said, "You didn't lie to us?"

Old Twelve said, "What's the benefit of me lying to you?"

The butcher said bitterly, "My lord, if Mr. He Jixiang blames us, don't blame us for being rude."

Old Twelve snorted coldly, "Why are you impolite?"

He will be the Zong Ling of the Clan Mansion tomorrow!
Can he still be afraid of two little butchers?

Looking at the butcher and the old twelve, he said bluntly, "I will report today's affairs to Mr. He in detail. In short, this matter has nothing to do with us!
You can't put the blame on both of us. "

"Please take care of yourself."

The old twelve snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Back in the day, not to mention talking to this kind of person, just looking at him more, it would hinder his identity!
After returning to the mansion, he leaned back on the chair, hugged the teacup, and waited for a long time before Tang Yi, who had just returned from the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, waited.

"Grandfather,"

The old twelve hurriedly asked, "What did General He say?"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "From now on, the old man will be promoted to Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Old Twelve said angrily, "Master He is too contemptuous of people. My grandfather is so talented, why did he give him a rank nine!"

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although the rank of a secretary is not high, he is in charge of supervising, suspending, canceling, and bookkeeping. He has a lot of power. From now on, the imperial court's discipline can be reversed with a single pen. , whether it is a prefect or a military sect, when you see this old man, you have to be polite."

"I see,"

The old twelve suddenly realized, "So, grandfather was a blessing in disguise?"

Tang Yi took the tea from Wan Kuan's hand, and while blowing the tea leaves, he said, "Now that the regent regards it highly, it is natural to repay it with death, so I dare not slack off in the slightest."

The old twelve pondered for a while, and repeated what Lin Yi told him in front of Tang Yi, and then said, "Why did my grandfather teach me?"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "The old man will move out of this place tomorrow, so I don't dare to cause trouble for the prince."

The old twelve said, "This king is still puzzled."

Tang Yi said, "Since the regent asked Lord Yong'an to listen to my opinion, please also ask King Yong'an to listen to me this time."

"In that case, where do you live when you go out?"

The old twelve asked.

"Master He has already made arrangements, the old man can live in the Imperial College first,"

Tang Yi stroked his beard and said, "Master He wants to reopen the scientific examination and select talents and talents."

The old twelve said in disbelief, "My brother hates these scholars the most, how could he get a scholar again!"

Tang Yi said in a low voice, "At this time and at that time, it is not easy for scholars to study hard for half their lives. If the regent ruins their promotion path, he will force them to go to Gong Lianyi in Liangzhou and King Yong in Jinzhou. "

Old Twelve said, "Then the content of this scientific examination will definitely be different from the previous ones."

Brother Nine Emperors, how can he be so easy to compromise!
Even if it is agreed to reopen the scientific examination, the content of this examination will definitely be changed!

Tang Yi said, "These are beyond the knowledge of the old man."

"Will Qi Yong die this time?"

The old twelve suddenly said curiously.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped,"

Tang Yi sighed and said, "Qi Yong's disciples and old officials are all over the world, how can they be light-hearted."

"My emperor's temper, how could he not kill him!"

The old twelve said with certainty, "You don't know my emperor brother too well. Even if my emperor brother doesn't execute Ling Chi, he will be beheaded."

Tang Yi said, "I don't know the regent, but I know He Jixiang, Chen Desheng, and Qin Yang very well. Even if they die by themselves, they will stop Qi Yong from killing Qi Yong."

The old twelve said, "Is this Qi Yong so important?
The entire Xinghualou was blown up, and everyone in Ankang City knows it. Can my brother suffer such a shame? "

Tang Yi said, "Otherwise, why is Qi Yong so confident?"

"Why?"

"Because he is Qi Yong!"

"If you say this, it means you didn't say it."

"The prince will know in the future."

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he laughed and left.

Early the next morning.

Lin Yi saw Chen Desheng and He Jixiang kneeling beside his dining table.

"You are also against this king and won't let me kill him?"

Lin Yi was very unhappy.

"My lord,"

He Jixiang straightened up on his knees, and said loudly, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess. I hope the prince will put the overall situation first!"

"My lord,"

Chen Desheng followed closely and said, "Qi Yong can't be killed!"

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "Wadan is not afraid of hundreds of thousands of troops, but I have to be afraid of a little Qi Yong!"
