In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Xue Yuanhui has sent someone to investigate all the people on the list clearly and wrote seven major books to Hua Ju. Hua Ju looked at it in detail. Most of them were the same as the introduction when Hong Rang provided the list, and they were Qingzheng.

Integrity official.

But there are also some who are hypocritical and deceive the world and steal the name, but do not match the truth.

Hua Jue originally wanted to cross out the names of these people from the list directly, but after thinking about it, she decided to hand it over to Huizong as it was, and let him decide how to deal with these people by himself.

When he arrived at the palace, Hua Ju presented the results of the investigation to Huizong. Weizong took a closer look. When he saw the actions of the officials who did not match the actual names, he was very angry and immediately issued an order to remove them from their posts.

"Wenshan, there are already officials who replace those people. Can you close the net?" Huizong asked.

Hua Ju said: "Gao Qiu, all the party members who Tong Guan were stationed in various places have been arrested. We have no concerns that we are most worried about. Now we have replaced officials, so we can do it."

After Hua Jue made an idea for Huizong that day, Huizong immediately asked someone to torture Gao Qiu and Tong Guan. Under the coercion of torture, they recruited all the confidant generals who had been stationed in various places over the years.

Seven days ago, Huizong had already asked Hua Ju and Su Yuanjing to send people to arrest all of these generals secretly and imprison them in the Heavenly Prison.

Seeing that Hua Jue agreed to arrest the Internet, Huizong immediately asked Cao Dezhong, the commander of the left wing of the Imperial Army, to send troops to arrest the people. Hua Jue said: "Your Majesty, these gangs of Cai Jing are distributed in various parts of the Song Dynasty. You can send people to arrest them like this, and then

It is too troublesome to send someone to take over. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to summon all the people chosen to replace them to Bianjing, and you will appoint them in person, and then let the Imperial Guard escort them to take over, and then let the Imperial Guard take those Cai Jing's

The party members will catch them back, which will save time and not delay things."

Huizong nodded and said, "This is a good idea."

Afterwards, he immediately sent an order to summon all the officials on the investigation list to Beijing to meet.

Half an hour later, more than 600 flying cavalrymen left Bianjing with imperial edicts.

Hua Jue returned to the guard barracks and sat down as soon as she entered the commander barracks, Meng Qinghe came and said as soon as she met, "Sir, you have made the wind and thunder cannons made by Bei Zhi."

"Go and have a look."

Meng Qinghe took Hua Jue to the place where the wind and thunder cannons were fired. Hua Jue looked at it and there were six models since childhood. The smallest one was the same as the batch of wind and thunder cannons seized in Liangshan, while the largest one was almost the red-clothed one in later generations.

That big cannon.

In the city where there was no test gun, Hua Ju asked someone to put the gun on the carriage and took Meng Qinghe and five hundred soldiers to a remote place thirty miles outside the east city of Bianjing. He first sent someone to a radius of twenty miles.

After inspecting it within, I was sure that there was no one, and then I lifted the cannon out of the car and set it up.

"Sir, which kind of cannon is first tried?" Meng Qinghe asked.

"I've been a child." Hua Ju said.

Meng Qinghe filled the smallest wind and thunder cannon with gunpowder and stone shells, and then ignited the fire. After a trembling sound, the shells were successfully launched and hit three or four miles away.

"Successful, sir!" Meng Qinghe said excitedly.

Hua Ju carefully checked the barrel, and it was intact and the heat of the barrel was not high, proving that the barrel was under good pressure. He nodded and said, "Continue to try the next one."

Meng Qinghe quickly put the gunpowder and stone bullets into the barrel, then ignited the fire, and with the sound of the cannon, the shells flew out seven or eight

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

Mid-away.

"It's successful, it's successful again." Meng Qinghe raised his arms and cheered.

Hua Ju squatted down again and checked the barrel. It was still intact, but the barrel was very hot. It proved that after the amount of gunpowder was increased, the pressure on the barrel began to increase exponentially. At this time, if the gun was continuously fired, the barrel was

The chance of a blow-off is very high.

"The next one." Hua Ju said.

Meng Qinghe put the gunpowder and stone bullets into a larger caliber gun. He was about to ignite the fire when Hua Ju said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Meng Qinghe said.

Hua Jue retreated more than ten meters and said, "After igniting the fire, retreat to me immediately, don't stand in front of the cannon."

The barrel of the cannon just now was already very hot, and Hua Ju was worried that the cannon would explode, so he made precautions in advance.

After Meng Qinghe lit the lead, he immediately ran to Hua Ju. Before he could turn around, he heard a "boom" sound and the cannon exploded.

"How could this happen?" Meng Qinghe asked dumbly.

Hua Ju walked back and took a look. The entire gun barrel was blown away, but I imagined how much pressure the gun barrel was under.

Then, Hua Ju personally tried the three models of cannons at the last three models, and all of them were blown up without exception, proving that the iron used to make the gun barrels did not meet the requirements of making large caliber gun barrels.

"I failed to complete the tasks assigned by the adults. Please punish me." Meng Qinghe said with one leg and kneeling down and holding his fists.

"This doesn't matter you."

Hua Ju pulled him up and said, "It's the iron that makes the gun barrels but is not qualified."

"The best iron used is already the best!" Meng Qinghe said.

Hua Ju picked up a cracked gun barrel and looked at it. There were several cracks on it, and said, "This iron may be the best for weaponry, but it is not good to use it to make large-caliber gun barrels."

Meng Qinghe said: "After Bei Zhi returns, try to make a few more guns immediately."

Hua Ju said: "Forget it, the iron is not qualified. You can't use it if you make any number of roots. You should focus on the small wind and thunder cannon that has been successfully created."

Although the range of the small wind and thunder cannon is not long, as long as the distance is calculated, it can still play a miraculous effect in combat, and can even play a huge role when siegeing the city.

Moreover, the small wind and thunder cannon is small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry, making it more suitable for fast marching troops.

"Yes, after Bei Zhi returned, he immediately asked them to build an iron smelting furnace." Meng Qinghe said.

The technology of this era is very backward and there is no better equipment. It cannot be manufactured in standardized and precise manner as in later generations. It can only be made of iron ore and poured into the pre-made gun barrel mold. After cooling,

Just clean the inside of the gun barrel. The technology is very simple, but it is really primitive and backward.

After collecting the broken gun barrels and putting two intact wind and thunder cannons onto the carriage, Hua Jue took Meng Qinghe and five hundred soldiers back to the guard camp.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

All the officials who came to Beijing under the order arrived. Huizong summoned them in Wende Hall, gave each of them a new appointment, and then sent the Imperial Guardian to escort them to office. When the Imperial Guard returned, he captured Cai Jing's followers. Of course,

Their property was also confiscated.

Although the personal property of these officials is not as good as that of Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, but all of them are still more than 10 million yuan, the treasury of the Song Dynasty was once again enriched.

Royal Palace.

"Wenshan, now Cai Jing

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and their followers were all arrested. What do you think I should deal with them?" Huizong asked Hua Ju.

Hua Ju said: "For the crimes committed by Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others, they have been killed more than ten times. Not killing them is not enough to calm the anger of the public. Therefore, the opinions of the ministers should be sentenced to death."

"Since that's the case, I immediately issued an order to behead them." Huizong said.

Hua Ju said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to keep Gao Qiu's life for the time being."

"Why?" Huizong asked.

Hua Ju took out a picture album from her body and handed it to Huizong, saying, "Your Majesty, please read this picture album first."

Huizong took it and looked at the cover, with the title "Lin Chong was forced to go to Liangshan."

Hua Ju had already drawn this album about Lin Chong more than 20 days ago. He had wanted to show it to Huizong, but after thinking about it, he felt that he would wait until Huizong was going to execute Gao Qiu.

It is most suitable to give it to him, so that you can strike while the iron is hot and make a request to him.

Huizong looked carefully. When he saw Lin Chong being persecuted by Gao Qiu and his son one after another, he finally made the world big but had nowhere to live, so he had to defect to Liangshan. Lin Chong's wife was forced to commit suicide to protect her innocence, and her father-in-law died.

He slapped the table in anger and said angrily: "Gao Qiu and his son persecuted a loyal and righteous minister in this way, so he deserves to die."

Hua Jue stood up and said, "Lin Chong's ancestors all served the court. Lin Chong was taught by his father Lin Ti since childhood. He has always been loyal to the emperor and the country, served the court, and defended the Song Dynasty as his mission. However, because he was too loyal and upright, he was not good at treating horses and patting horses.

Therefore, he was suppressed by Gao Qiu and only became a small coach in the imperial guards. Later, he was persecuted by Gao Qiu, which made him not only hate Gao Qiu, but also disappointed with the court.

Now that Your Majesty wants to revive the throne and restore the prosperous times of Taizu, Taizong and Emperor Renzong, he urgently needs capable generals like Lin Chong to stabilize the world for Your Majesty and defend the Song Dynasty.

But if Lin Chong wants to return to the court to serve His Majesty, he must eliminate the resentment he had towards the court because of Gao Qiu. The best way to eliminate the resentment in his heart is to let him personally settle Gao Qiu and his son as his wife, and his father-in-law.

And he takes revenge himself.

I think that since Your Majesty has made up his mind to execute Gao Qiu, it is better to use it and use him to exchange for a great general who can serve the court and charge for His Majesty to expand territory."

Huizong thought about his words carefully and thought it made sense. Anyway, it was just to let Gao Qiu die, behead, or be killed by Lin Chong. In fact, there was no difference. As Hua Ju said, Gao Qiu could use him to let Lin Chong be

It is much more cost-effective to return to the court than to behead him directly.

"Okay, I will follow you and leave Gao Qiu and his son to Lin Chong for revenge." Huizong said.

Hua Ju said happily: "I, thank you, Your Majesty."

Following the incident, Huizong issued an order to appoint Hua Jue as the chief executive, and at noon tomorrow, he was executed by Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others at Cross Streetkou, and confiscated their property.

Except for the fourth son of Cai Jing, all the other four sons were sentenced to death. His son-in-law, Liang Zhongshu and two grandsons were also sentenced to death. His daughter was sentenced to exile as a female prisoner in the northwest border and was not allowed to leave for life.

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu's gangsters and minions, except for seventeen who were sentenced to beheading for serious crimes, all of them were sentenced to exile in the border areas or Lingnan. They were not allowed to leave for life and were immediately beheaded without mercy.

Once the notice that Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other treacherous ministers were about to be beheaded was posted, the people rushed to tell each other, and the entire city of Bian Jing was in full swing.
