Chapter 884: The Beggar Gang gathers again
What's going on? It's his five surnames and seven families? Is this a ghost? There are only four families left in the five surnames and seven families, and they dare to come out and jump around? Isn't this asking for death by myself?
Li Er was furious again in the palace. The investigation of the case did not make any progress. Why did he leave rumors and get messy? Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble? Do you want to destroy the Boling Cui family during this incident? Investigate and go and investigate immediately.
This is a bit embarrassing to the eunuch. The source of rumors spread across the country, how to check it? As the saying goes, there is no groundlessness. Could it be that the Cui family of Boling did it?
A day later, the eunuch Gao urgently replied: "Your Majesty, the source of the rumors is not available for the time being, but there has been an accident in the country because of the rumors. A large number of people rushed into Hebei Road. Look at the place where they go, they should be heading towards Boling (an Ping, Hebei in later generations, Dingzhou)."
"People? How could it be the people?" Li Er said in surprise.
Lao Gao hesitated and said, "According to the scouts, most of these people are from the Beggars' Sect."
What? Li Er exclaimed in surprise, it was the Beggars' Sect again? Hasn't the Beggars' Sect been dissolved?
Then Li Er sat down again, sighed and stopped moving.
Yes, as the saying goes, a centipede worm will not die, let alone the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Bai Fan, will not fall. Even if the Beggars' Sect is disbanded, the friendship between the past is still there. If something happened to the Bai family, as long as they know some kindness, they will come out to help. In this way, will it be the same whether they are disbanded or not?
At this time, Lao Gao hesitated again and said, "I dared to speculate that the Beggars' Sect has such a large-scale operation and such uniformity, so it must be organized. Could it be the rumors that the Marquis sent a telegram?"
In fact, Lao Gao didn't want to say it. After all, saying this is a suspicion of spreading rumors about Bai Fan. Lao Gao also had a relationship with Bai Fan, but the truth was gone. If the emperor thought of sending someone to investigate, Bai Fan would feel even worse in the emperor's heart at that time.
"Oh? Is it Bai Fan?
Yes, that makes sense. Bai Fan's family was assassinated when they had an accident and were assassinated. The one who was most anxious was definitely him. It seemed that he found out the real murderer. In anger, the people who mobilized the Beggars' Sect would take action." Li Er nodded.
"But how did Bai Fan determine that the murderer was the Cui family of Boling? I sent the Hundred Cavalry Department, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple to make no progress. He is far away, as if he is helping him?
Send a telegram to ask if Bai Fan is behind the scenes?"
Li Er was in a bad mood. Over the years, as Bai Fan lost all his skills and returned to ordinary people, his vigilance towards him had disappeared. This person is not greedy for power or money, but only protects his shortcomings and values family affection. Such ministers are easy to control, but they just need to be gentle.
But today I heard that he had once again pulled up the Beggars' Sect to do private affairs without reporting. Li Er was absolutely dissatisfied. Even if the Boling Cui family sent someone to assassinate your family, even if you want to slaughter the Boling Cui family to take revenge and vent your anger, at least you have to say hello to the court. What's the difference between ignoring the court and setting up a private court?
Or, Bai Fan thinks that he can't trust the court, and that his subordinates are better than those of the court?
As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. This is true. No one can guess the emperor's psychology. Maybe one day he will be missed by others. Therefore, Bai Fan, who knew this, refused repeatedly and never entered the court too close to him.
The rumors this time were indeed circulated by Bai Fan. The purpose was to shake the tiger. At the same time, I told the Boling Cui family that he was brave enough to assassinate my wife and children? Try how it feels like to hold our knife on your neck. Since some people think that I, Bai Fan, have been silent for many years, have shown my fangs and let them see.
Cui Minshou, the head of the Cui clan of Boling, was panicked, Bai Fan was crazy, how dare he incite the people to surround Boling? What did he want to do? Is it a massacre of Cui?
The person who came, quickly send a message to Chang'an and sue the emperor!
If you don’t have to sue the emperor, Li Er will have to take care of this matter. The great clan of the Boling Cui clan is that even if the five surnames and seven families have not shrunk in recent years, they still have a considerable force.
"The person who came, passed on Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui."
Soon the two of them came to Li Er, "You two led the three thousand imperial guards in the palace to quickly rush to the Cui family of Boling. Bai Fan led the Beggars' Gang to surround Boling, but you saved Boling for me. I don't want the incidents of Fanyang Lu family and Qinghe Cui family to happen again."
When Li Er said this, he didn't feel like he was, but that's what he thought now.
When I first took office ten years ago, I was bullied by aristocratic families, and I dreamed that I would destroy these blood-sucking families to avenge them.
I didn't expect that in just ten years, I would actually reach out to protect them. All these reincarnation and transformations were caused by Bai Fan.
It was Bai Fan who helped him to suppress the major families, and it was Bai Fan who used facts to tell himself that killing was not the right way. Killing the Li clan of Longxi finally brought how many hidden dangers and sufferings it brought to the Tang Dynasty? Not to mention anything else, just Li Xinzhong and Li Mingxin brothers led Tubo to fight against the Tang Dynasty, which caused many casualties and losses.
Not to mention that Li Xinzhong created an endless poisonous thing like opium, so Li Er slowly learned to defeat the enemy through the lesson.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, it is the folk rumor that the Cui family of Boling sent someone to assassinate the Marquis' wife and children, and the people are furious to defend it.
If it is true, I don’t have the confidence to complete this important task. You should know that the Marquis gave him a nickname, “revengeful revenge”, and I’m afraid no one can stop him except His Majesty.”
Li Er thought to himself, no one can stop him, and it will be useless to go. I am afraid that most of the time, the Cui family of Boling was done by him. Bai Fan has always been open-minded and honest in his behavior. Even if he kills people, he will clearly state the blame and then take action. Since he sent someone to spread rumors, he will not spread lies.
Bai Fan has not used conspiracy to eliminate his political enemies. He even said that he had dared to have no complaints in the past in the past, but he had no hatred in the past, and even his political enemies were not.
"I know that things are difficult to handle, otherwise I wouldn't have found you two.
If it is really proved that Cui bought a murderer, then Bai Fan's murder and revenge was also under the national law.
Keming, you have martial arts skills and have to stand up. Jian Zhi can kill people and take revenge, but I don’t want to see the Boling Cui family corpse flowing blood all over the field. The innocent people are also my people of the Tang Dynasty, and I need to protect them.
The lessons of the Lu family in Fanyang, I don’t want to repeat the scene of that year. I will persuade Jian Zhi to kill the evil one and vent his anger. Innocent people should not be killed indiscriminately."
Du Ruhui complained in his heart, "Isn't it difficult for him to have a life-long friendship with Bai Fan?" But after thinking about it, I'm afraid there is no one in the court except himself, so he respectfully said: "I will accept the order, but there is no need for the three thousand imperial guards. In front of countless people, even the twelve guards will be futile. The three thousand armored soldiers are likely to cause misunderstandings. Just persuade Jian Zhi and Xuan Cheng to stop. If you can't stop, no matter how many troops there are, it will be useless."
"Accurate, go quickly!"
