The emperor is mighty

After Shen Shi, a group of people marched to the outside of Jiaocheng.The soldiers guarding the city saw that the person who came was holding the banner of the emperor, so they didn't dare to delay, so they reported it layer by layer.

Xu Youcai had also received the letter before, knowing that the empress would come to settle accounts with him in the near future, upon receiving the news, he immediately opened the city gates to welcome them out.

As soon as the two sides met, Xu Youcai saw Bu Yunlong tied behind Peng Tian's horse with sharp eyes, and he lost his mind to confuse black and white.

Although Nie Wenyuan didn't give him a good look, he didn't get angry immediately. He only waited for Zhang Jun to take over the military power after he entered the city, and then he and Peng Tian drank tea and interrogated people in the government office.

Xu Youcai and Bu Yunlong were escorted into the lobby of the government office, where they knelt down.

Nie Wenyuan's eyes stopped on the two of them, then turned to look at Peng Tian, ​​and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

Peng Tian shook his head, with a sullen face, just like a general should look like.

Nie Wenyuan squeezed his hand: "Go back and rest when you're tired, I'm here."

Peng Tian was indeed a little tired, but he didn't move immediately, he just tilted his head to think for a while, and then asked: "You want to kill them?"

"Even if you don't care about their looting, contempt for the court, and privately withhold documents submitted by other countries, according to the law, you should be executed." Nie Wenyuan casually glanced at the two kneeling in the hall, "not to mention they still treat me and the queen. If you speak rudely, there is no guarantee that you will not be able to change the day."

Peng Tian let out a "huh" and couldn't think of any way to refute, so he could only say: "Xu Youcai has nothing to do with me, you can do whatever you want. This kid surnamed Bu is quite to my liking, why don't you stay and let me ? If he deserves to be reused in the future, let him pay for his merits, and if he can't get on the stage, it won't be too late to kill him."

"Forget it." Nie Wenyuan nodded, and went to look at Xu Youcai again, "In the name of Dazhao, you are doing unrighteous ways, and getting it is also ill-gotten wealth. Can you explain where the money goes?"

Xu Youcai remained silent.

Seeing this, Bu Yunlong was stunned at first, and then cursed: "Xu! Did I forget how you promised that day?! You asked me to block the road and rob, but you agreed to use the money for the defense of Jiaocheng and the people. Body! Could it be, could it be that you have filled your own pocket?!"

Xu Youcai scorned him, and said with a sneer, "If I say nothing, you don't believe me?"

Bu Yunlong was startled and said, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I am the same as you?!"

Xu Youcai sneered: "Speaking of this now, who knows if you want to confess yourself and blame me alone?"

While talking, the two started arguing back and forth.

Peng Tian yawned, and sat next to Nie Wenyuan listlessly. After listening for a while, he said, "Bu is a fool, and he probably can't do such two-sided things."

"Yes." Nie Wenyuan said with a smile, "I will ask someone to thoroughly investigate this matter, and the clearer will be cleared by himself, so you don't have to worry about it."

Peng Tian nodded: "Then you can ask someone to investigate first, if he is really not a good guy, it will save me from grinding him, and just kill him."

Nie Wenyuan replied "Yes", and asked him again: "But are you tired?"

Peng Tian nodded again, and said sleepily: "I really need to sleep well for a few days to enjoy it."

Nie Wenyuan shook his hand: "I'll accompany you."

After putting Xu Youcai and Bu Yunlong in prison pending trial, and instructing Yu Hui to be in charge of a thorough investigation, Nie Wenyuan and Peng Tian went back to the dormitory specially prepared for them after the government office.

The emperor was supposed to live in a better place when he was on tour, but on the one hand, Nie Wenyuan didn't want to squander the people's wealth, and on the other hand, Peng Tian didn't want to make people miserable, so the two finally chose a room in the government office and stayed temporarily. .

From the next day, Yu Hui led people to investigate Xu Youcai's case. It took a full half a month to find out the whole story and the whereabouts of a lot of money.

It turned out that after Xu Youcai was stationed in Jiaocheng, he befriended a group of cronies, and learned the same thing by eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.How could his official salary be enough for him to toss about like this?It is often difficult to even eat three meals a day.

Seeing that when the time came to repay the gambling money, the Da Kui caravan swaggered into the city, and when he saw the contents of the car, he was immediately moved.

But how could he, the city guard, dare to personally go into battle to rob the prison guard and steal himself?

Just when he was at a loss for what to do, he happened to meet Bu Yunlong and his party while drinking and eating in a restaurant with those cronies. He didn't pay attention to this person at first, but when Bu Yunlong got drunk and cursed Nie Wenyuan for being stupid, he didn't care about the lord of the future generations of the Dazhao Kingdom, arbitrarily After becoming a male queen alone, she suddenly thought about it.

Peng Tian nodded after listening to Yu Hui's words: "So Bu Yunlong doesn't know anything at all, and he was completely fooled by Xu Youcai?"

Yu Hui said: "Return to General, that's exactly the case. The original intention of Bu Yunlong's promise to Xu Youcai was just to attract people's attention, so as to force the emperor to resign and marry another... He insisted on going his own way, and the Bu family had already cut off contact with him because of this matter." .”

Peng Tian went to see Nie Wenyuan, and Nie Wenyuan was also looking at him.

The former gave a look, and the latter immediately understood: "I'll leave it to you to deal with Bu Yunlong."

Peng Tian lazily gave a "huh", and said to Hui: "Those brought back, if they are safe, we will ask them to go home, and if they are restless, they will be sent to the army. You can tidy them up." Bu’s kid—you take it first, then follow me.”

Yu Hui took the lead.

Nie Wenyuan said: "Xu Youcai ransacked his home and asked him to execute him, which is an explanation to Da Kui."

After Yu Hui left, Nie Wenyuan wrote family letters, one was sent to the capital to the ten princes who managed the government on his behalf, and the other was sent to the front line to Peng Tian's eldest brother and second sister.

So far, the matter of Da Kui's invasion of the border has finally been almost resolved, and the two of them are relieved.
