Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Gao Qiu said again: "After Kong Fan arrived at Songyang Academy, those students, as well as Confucian scholars from Luojing, all went to see him, maybe..."

"What could it be?"

Gao Qiu replied: "Maybe someone wants to use people from the Confucian Mansion to gather people's hearts."

"Why gather people's hearts?"

Gao Lian asked in a questioning tone: "Fight against new learning?"

Zhao Guan's family stopped talking, Gao Qiu's conjecture was also his conjecture.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ning said, "Send someone to Qufu to investigate."

"Is it the Chacon mansion?"

"Yes, Chakong Mansion."

"What result does the official want?"

"As a result of the truth, check whether the Confucius Mansion has colluded with the Jin people."

"The Confucian family is of the blood of a sage, it's unlikely..." Gao Qiu didn't believe that the Confucian family would flirt with the golden man, but Zhao Guan's eyes made him pause, "Yes, I will arrange it now."

"We are also paying close attention to the movement of Songyang Academy."

"Yes."

On August [-], Yingyang County.

He Bin took people to drink in Wangchun Tower.

"Boss, there seem to be more people in Yingyang County recently."

He Bin said: "Many of them are Confucian scholars who came from other places to attend Yan Shenggong's lecture."

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Is this Yan Shenggong so influential?"

He Bin smiled: "After all, it is the blood of a saint, which literati will not give a little face?"

Zhou Yi laughed mockingly: "These literati are also dirty enough, they look like gentlemen on the surface, and they are ruthless enough to beat even the minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"Is there any news from Luoyang?"

"I haven't found anyone yet." Zhou Yi was rather helpless, "At that time, he was attacked by surprise, and many officials who followed him were not stopped. It seems that this new policy has great resistance in Luoyang!"

And what's even more amazing is that when Minister of Rites went out to investigate, Luo Jing's officials arranged very few entourages, which gave him a chance.

No matter how you look at it, there is a taste of conspiracy.

He Bin was also very distressed. Gao Li told him to arrest him in August, but now it was mid-August, but there was no news.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from Gobi.

"You say I have no guts! Let me tell you! I was the one who beat up the Minister of Rites in Luoyang last month!"

Chapter 428 The mastermind behind the scenes (third change)

He Bin, Zhou Yi and the others looked at each other, quickly put down the wine in their hands, and rushed out.

They rushed into the next door, only to see a group of students from Songyang Academy drunk, with a woman playing the piano, and a few women on the table, snuggled up in their arms.

"Who dares to trespass without permission!" A young man yelled angrily.

Zhou Yi asked: "Who said just now that the Minister of Rites of the imperial court was attacked?"

"It's me!" A thin young man said boldly, "Why, do you have any objections?"

The man was obviously drunk, not even a little drunk.

A smile appeared on He Bin's face, and he said lightly, "Catch it."

"Hey, how dare you arrest people at will! We are students of Songyang Academy!"

A secretary of the imperial city slapped the thin young man on the face, and then took out his badge: "We are from the yamen."

"People in the yamen can't arrest people at will!"

"Who said just now that the Minister of Rites of the court was attacked?"

The others were immediately too frightened to say anything, and looked at the thin man one after another.

Zhou Yi lifted him up and dragged him out.

The people outside saw that they were extremely panicked, Zhou Yi said: "The yamen is doing business, and the idlers can't stop them!"

No one dared to stop it.

If they were wearing the uniform of the Imperial City Division, no one would dare to stop them.

The emaciated young man was taken to the Si Yamen in Huangcheng, Yingyang County, where he was severely beaten.

After being beaten, the person became much more sober.

"what name?"

"Liu Jie." Liu Jie was so frightened that his legs couldn't help shaking.

Holding the pliers, He Bin asked politely, "Say, who ordered you to attack the Minister of Rites?"

"Forgive me! I don't know anything!"

"I don't know? You just said that you attacked the Minister of Rites, and now you tell us that you don't know?"

He Bin signaled others to hold him down, and then pulled out one of his front teeth with pliers.

The young man himself was very thin, and now he screamed even more heartbreakingly: "Forgive me! I didn't attack you! It was a classmate of mine!"

"Who?"

"It's what Hu did! It's what Hu did!"

"Where is he?"

"He's at my place."

"really?"

"Exactly!"

"Then why did you say in the restaurant that you attacked?"

"I'm just talking big and bragging!" After Liu Jie's front teeth were pulled out, he would leak air whenever he spoke, but he didn't have the energy to deal with the pain now, but he said very cooperatively, "They looked down on me. I am thin and weak, I am not very good at reading, I like to brag and look for comfort."

He Bin asked again: "How do you know that Hu did it?"

"He told me personally. He has a good relationship with me. We are good friends."

"What did he tell you?"

"That was last month. He told me that he was going to do a big event and go to Luoyang."

"What to do?"

"He didn't say it at the time, he just said that if it is done, he will be promoted and rich, and come back and bring me."

"and after?"

"Later when he came back, he had nowhere to go, so he went to my place. When he came back, he told me that he had attacked the Minister of Rites of the dynasty."

"He told you himself."

Liu Jie nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Liu explained the address.

He Bin said to Zhou Yi, "Go find someone."

"Yes!"

An hour later, Zhou Yi came back, and he was brought back.

Hu Weizhi shouted: "I am a student of Songyang Academy, why are you arresting me!"

"Don't be nervous, we just brought you back for questioning." He Bin said politely.

After speaking, he said to Zhou Yi: "Let's beat him up first, so that the degree of cooperation will be higher."

Zhou Yi punched Hu Weizhi in the abdomen, the pain was so painful that Hu Weizhi almost passed out.

"I asked you a question, you answer, is it you who attacked the Minister of Rites in Luoyang?"

"It's not me!" Hu Weizhi suddenly seemed to be greatly stimulated, "It's not me!"

"Speak, tell the truth!" Zhou Yi punched him again, causing Hu to let out a heart-piercing wail.

"Stop." He Bin said at this time, "Let him go."

Zhou Yi untied Hu for him.

He Bin said: "You have two choices, one is not to tell the truth, we will continue to fight, and if we are killed, we will throw it in the mass grave, together with your friend."

Liu Jie on the side immediately said anxiously: "Hu Weizhi, tell the truth! What you told me before, or we both will die!"

"Secondly, to tell the truth, we will guarantee your survival. As you know, attacking the Minister of Rites is a serious crime, and you may be beheaded."

Hu Weizhi dodged his eyes.

He Bin's tone was more gentle: "Even if you don't say anything, we will take you to Luoyang now. There are many people who saw you that day, so we can still identify you."

"I... If I say so, can I really survive?"

"Really." He Bin said.

"I said... I said, it was the Minister of Rites that I attacked that day."

"Who ordered it?"

"It's Wang Shoude, the magistrate of Henan Prefecture."

"Wang Shoude, the magistrate of Henan Province, is a high-ranking official. You are just a student of Songyang Academy. How could he have anything to do with you?"

"I...that was when Wang Zhifu gave a lecture at Songyang Academy last year. I met Wang Qianjin who came with him. I fell in love with his daughter at first sight. I went to Luoyang to find her..."

"I had a private relationship with his daughter, and I was discovered just last month. He said that as long as I help him complete one thing, he will marry his daughter to me. Not only that, but he also recommended me to be an official, even without the imperial examination. Exam."

"What did he ask you to do?"

"Assassinate the Minister of Rites."

He Bin continued to ask, "Why?"

"He said that the Minister of Rites is here to promote the new learning, and the new learning is an evil government. As long as the Minister of Rites is assassinated, the promotion of the new learning can be stopped."

"Don't you know that it is a serious crime to assassinate the Minister of Rites?"

"I..." Hu Weizhi lowered his head, "For Qian'er, I am willing to do anything."

There was silence for a while.

He Bin continued to ask, "Why did you come back here again?"

"I went to Wang Zhifu, and accidentally learned from Qian'er that her father was going to kill me, so I fled back to Yingyang and hid here with Liu Jie."

On August [-], a confession was sent from Yingyang to Tokyo quickly, and placed on Zhao Guan's table.

After reading the confession, Zhao Ning's face was as cold as a piece of ice.

"How courageous! Even the Minister of Rites of the imperial court dares to assassinate him!"

Gao Qiu said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Where is Wang Shoude now?"

"In Luoyang."

Zhao Ning walked back and forth, the more critical the moment was, the more he had to calm down first.

Now that people from the Confucian government are involved, the atmosphere is heated up. Wang Shoude recommended the prince to participate in politics, so there must be a next step.

"What do you think about this?"

Gao Qiu said: "This matter is not simple."

"how do I say this?"

"A student from Songyang Academy was able to get close to Li Ruoshui on that day, which means that this matter was arranged in advance. The fact that the student was able to escape successfully on that day was probably related to the officials present at the time, apart from the chaotic scene."

"You mean, the officials present conspired with Wang Shoude?"
