Zhang Boduan laughed miserably, as if crying, and said to Lu Yunpeng: "Ask me why, and I will tell you that when I got the title of Guan Luo and Zhang Sanxia, ​​I spent all day running around in the rivers and lakes, helping people in need, and I had no time to take care of my wife and children!"

The chief catcher cursed secretly after hearing this: "What a fool!"

Zhang Boduan said: "My cousin Zhang Boxun was the deputy Qianhu of Yuzhou, Shanxi Province at that time, so I entrusted him with my three sons and one daughter. Unexpectedly, because his military land was taken away by Wang Zhen's relatives, he wrote a letter that angered this powerful eunuch.

The whole family was cut off in half and abandoned! Even my family members were imprisoned and executed!"

"What kind of hero am I, Guan Luo? I am invincible with my iron palm!"

The Guan Luo hero continued: "I stayed in the capital for three months, and I deliberately wanted to assassinate Wang Zhen for revenge, but the eunuch Quan Qing went to the countryside and never found an opportunity to take action. I was so angry that I became seriously ill.

Later, I heard that Wa Ci was invading the army in large numbers. I was determined to kill the enemy and die, so I went out with the army."

Lu Yunpeng said: "So you cut off the water source of the army for personal vendetta, and used the hands of the Walas to kill Wang Zhen?"

Zhang Boduan laughed at Lu Yunpeng and said, "Do you think I can lead to the defeat of civil engineering by myself?"

Lu Yunpeng shook his head and sighed, saying: "The Supreme Emperor has been at war for nine of the fifteen years since he came to the throne. At that time in Gaoligong, Yunnan, the barbarian chieftains rebelled and surrendered repeatedly. The imperial court had three major expeditions, and half of the world was conquered.

We are raising money for this and depleting the national treasury. If we continue to fight with the Walas, we will be a little exhausted!"

Lu Yunpeng snorted angrily: "Zhu Qizhen is headstrong and arrogant! But without ghosts like you, how could our Ming Dynasty be defeated so quickly!"

Zhang Boduan recalled with a gloomy face: "I cut off the water source of the army. I originally wanted to let everyone rush out and fight with the Wala people! Unexpectedly, they collapsed as soon as we engaged in the battle. Wang Zhen saw that the situation was not good, so we asked

These experts protected him and the Supreme Emperor as they escaped."

Lao Meng folded his arms and stood aside and sneered coldly, "A spy is a spy, even if you tell me that a flower is a thief!"

Zhang Boduan was speechless and slowly lowered his disheveled white head. Lu Yunpeng asked solemnly: "Did my brother die at that time?"

Zhang Boduan was silent for a while and said: "Later, less than a mile out of our escort, we encountered a group of more than a hundred Ming troops. The leader shouted that he wanted to rid the world of eunuchs, so he ordered arrows to be fired.

!In the end, the target they shot was the Supreme Emperor!"

"That group of soldiers carried big iron-tied bows, and they were obviously the elite generals and servants in the army. Lieutenant Lu used his gun to draw arrows, and stood in front of the Supreme Emperor. He was hit by countless arrows, but his body still held up the gun and did not fall down!"

At this time, Lu Yunpeng's eyes were completely red, and his hands had already twisted the iron fence beside him. Meng Yishan was so horrified that he took two steps back, guarding himself carefully. He secretly cursed Old Man Zhang in his heart for describing the death of little Captain Lu so tragically.

Lu Yunpeng, don't go crazy with heartache and kill me as your enemy. That will be a huge loss!

'

"Director Lu, calm down, brother is willing to help you take revenge..."

Lao Meng gave in quickly, and a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences.

Lu Yunpeng's face became even colder, and he seemed to have regained his senses, and asked: "Who ordered the archery at that time!"

Zhang Boduan said: "I recalled afterwards that the leader of that team of hard archers should be Wu Qingbo, who is now the emperor of Jingtai, Shi Heng's nephew, Shi Biao!"

Meng Yishan heard the sound and asked: "But Shi Biao is one of the three tigers of the Ming army?"

Zhang Boduan said: "Yes, Shi Heng was at Tumubao on the day Duanshui broke out of the siege. He even lost his official position due to the defeat. Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the uncles and nephews of the Shi family became very popular again."

Zhang Boduan said to Lu Yunpeng: "There is nothing to say about what happened next. After Captain Lu risked his life to stop him, the Wala people's cavalry chased him. Shi Biao had to abandon the emperor and leave! We were all captured first, until

The two countries ceased war and just released me, but I didn’t expect to fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei again!"

"It seems that the whole thing was caused by someone in the court instructing the uncle and nephew of the Shi family to get rid of the Supreme Emperor?"

Lu Yunpeng stared at Meng Yishan with a cold expression.

Lao Meng bravely replied: "Yes! It must be so!" Cold sweat broke out in his palms.

"Lu Yunpeng, please kill me, I don't want to live anymore." Zhang Boduan looked slightly excited.

"You are not worthy of me taking action!" Lu Yunpeng glanced at him with contempt, turned around and called Meng Yishan: "Let's get out! I won't make it difficult for the chief arrester to do his job."

Lu Yunpeng walked in front. Meng Yishan looked at Zhang Boduan who was in great pain, spat, and carefully followed Lu Yunpeng up.

The two of them walked to the corridor of the government office. Lu Yunpeng said to Meng Yishan: "Your subordinate is good at martial arts, but he is asleep in the inn right now!"

Meng Yishan was startled and asked: "Did you kill Gu Xiaozi?"

Lu Yunpeng smiled lightly and said: "With his authentic Shaolin martial arts, if he wanted to escape, I would have to waste a lot of effort. I just used some gadgets to temporarily restrain him."

Lu Yunpeng's voice became serious and said: "Please remove all the people in the inn. From now on, your yamen should not be troublesome about our escort agency's actions in Luoyang! As for what you saw and heard tonight, it will be a big disaster if you tell anyone about it.

Upper body, you really shouldn’t listen!”

Meng Yishan patted his chest and promised: "I'm crazy. If such an important thing leaks out, the Jinyi Guards will definitely put me in the sky prison! I can't talk about it."

It wasn't until Chief Lu bid farewell that Chief Meng felt relieved. His whole back was soaked with sweat. Fortunately, Tie Qiang Lu was a person according to the rules, and he was more particular and scrupulous.

, otherwise I, old Meng Ke, will have to be reincarnated. I don’t know if Meng Po can win over relatives.

In the Xiangyun Inn, Gu Zhensheng was having a deep sleep when he was kicked off the bed by Mr. Meng. He shook his swollen head and saw Meng Yishan standing next to him, still a little dazed.

Meng Yishan asked: "What plan did you use to make Lu Yunpeng so sleepy?"

Gu Zhensheng was surprised, thought for a while and said: "I stared at the window in the afternoon and smelled the sweet fragrance and didn't know anything else."

Meng Yishan said: "Grandma, I even used the incense from the lower five gates! Take the people back to the government office, there is no need to keep an eye on them anymore!"

Gu Zhensheng was let go by Mi Xiang. Although he felt embarrassed, he was very happy because he didn't have to follow Lu Yunpeng.

Meng Yishan went all the way back to Shangshu Mansion. After practicing, he lay in bed and thought that Lu Yunpeng wanted to avenge his brother, unless he rebelled. He promised not to trace the whereabouts of the escort, but Li Ding hated himself deeply and might use some means to plot.

I have to find a way to drive the Yunpeng Escort Bureau out of Luoyang!

As soon as Meng Yishan arrived at the Yamen in the morning, Mr. Li asked him to go to the study. As soon as Li Chongyi met him, he asked:

"Yishan, yesterday Captain Gu discovered that Lu Yunpeng was having contact with Wang He. I also wanted you to send two more people to him. Why did you withdraw so quickly?"

Meng Yishan said perfunctorily: "I have been short of manpower to investigate the case recently, so I have transferred all the people back. I have my own arrangements. I will seize the evidence of Lu Yunpeng's crime and capture Wang He."

Seeing his confident look, Mr. Li even said that he would wait and see and celebrate Yishan's success at that time. His trust in Lao Meng was blind.

Meng Yishan laughed dryly, and Lu Yunpeng asked him to evacuate the people. He couldn't find a reason to explain to Magistrate Li, so he was forced to talk nonsense. There was a way to capture Wang He!

At this time, a disciple brought in a famous post saying that Mr. Tian was here to visit. Magistrate Li took it and took a look at it. When he saw that the post said "Heishidu Inspection Envoy came to pay homage to Tian Xi from the ninth grade", he couldn't help but said to himself: "Tian

What does Xi want to see me for?”

He casually put the note on the table and ordered: "Let him come in!"

Tian Xi's official position is from the ninth rank, and he is the eunuch whom Mr. Li hates the most. He usually has no official business dealings. He secretly wondered what this person was doing in the government office. Li Chongyi didn't know about the ship hijacking yet.

After a while, a man came in, wearing a light green official uniform. He bowed to Mr. Li and said, "I have met the prefect in this lowly position!"

Meng Yishan saw Tian Xi, who was tall and thin, with narrow eyes and long eyebrows. Lao Meng said to Magistrate Li: "Since you have a guest, I will go down first!"

Unexpectedly, Tian Xi grabbed him and said, "This must be Capt. Meng!" Meng Yishan was startled, shook Tian Xi away, and thought to himself: "Did something happen? I will never admit it!"

Tian Xi was so thin that he almost fell down when he was thrown away by Mr. Meng. He still had a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Meng, wait a moment. I am here to ask for your help this time!"

Before Meng Yishan could recover, Tian Xi showed a bitter look on his face and said to Magistrate Li: "Sir, the six salt ships of the Inspection Department were robbed by bandits the day before yesterday. We have limited manpower and can't find any clues! I want to invite Luoyang for my humble job.

The government assists in handling the case!”

After hearing this, Magistrate Li's face darkened. Do you still want to share the blame with me? The magistrate slapped the case and shouted: "It is your job to transport salt and arrest private criminals. If you are not strict and lose the salt boat, you will be held responsible."

Yes, it is inconvenient for me in Luoyang Mansion to overstep my authority!"

Tian Xi's expression became even sadder, and he begged bitterly: "Master Magistrate, if you can't find the lost property, I will definitely be investigated and dealt with. For the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, please help me once!"

It's almost a good thing that he didn't do this. As soon as he said this, Li Chongyi glared at him.

Magistrate Li asked: "Tian Xi, Li's second-ranked Jinshi, Jindian asked, the emperor personally gave the Imperial Academy editorship, moved for many years, and then released Luoyang magistrate, but I don't know in which year you won the exam?"

Tian Xi was speechless when asked, and said with a red face: "Well, I didn't take the imperial examination for a humble position, but this official is a donated official!"

Meng Yishan laughed when he heard this, stepped forward and patted Tian Xi on the shoulder and said: "Old Tian, ​​it turns out that you are so rich. This official was bought with money. Why don't you spend more money and buy a magistrate to kill the whole family!"

Tian Xi smiled sarcastically at Meng Yishan, thinking that the prefect was seeing no benefit, so he refused to give up and said: "This is a check-in, and only you can do the task of recruiting people to clear the countryside. If you catch the salt robbers, you will definitely be punished for your humble position!"

Tian Xi squeezed his eyes, meaning that he would be rewarded in due course.

Meng Yishan was about to rush up and said: "We can't take care of this matter!"

Mr. Li had already waved his sleeves to Tian Xi and said, "Go back. I cannot overstep my authority in this matter!"

Tian Xi has been uneasy since he lost the two boats of rare gifts. If he loses his official position, Huang Ji, the eunuch who guards him, and Eunuch Cao in the palace will have to skin him! Without any plan, they want to Luoyang

It would be best to find the robbers if they can find the robbers. If they fail, they will have to blame Li Chongyi for sharing the blame for lax governance. Unexpectedly, Magistrate Li is so tough that he won't care what he says!

Inspector Tian looked at the face of the prefect, and Li Chongyi probably had to drive him out if he didn't know what he was doing. His face changed, and he threatened: "Since you can't spare any manpower, I will have to report to Eunuch Cao in the capital. When the time comes, you will

The position of magistrate is not so secure, so I say goodbye!"

"Get out!"

Lao Meng thought to himself that he was a close confidant of the magistrate. If he didn't help him at this time, why should he get out of here?

The chief catcher immediately grabbed Mr. Tian Xitian's neck, picked him up like a chicken and walked outside, cursing as he walked: "You are a bitch!"

After bringing Mr. Tian to the corridor, Meng Yishan put Tian Xi down and his expression changed, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Tian. I, Mr. Meng, have great respect for Eunuch Cao in the capital. It's just that my brother works as an official in the government, so he has to do this."

Tian Xi glanced at Lao Meng angrily, flicked his sleeves and left.

Lao Meng was left frowning secretly. It seems that the ship hijacking incident has begun to ferment. I only hope that the right censor of the Ye family who is in the middle of the court can do it well.

Meng Yishan went back to share the same hatred with Magistrate Li and denounced the eunuchs. Magistrate Li felt that he was loyal and brave even more. There are many talented people, but few people have such a sincere heart.
