The Record of Righteousness

The next day.

Capital, the official office of Dongchang.

I saw Wan Qing in official robes riding a tall horse, completely losing the slovenly appearance he had in prison a few days ago.

At this time, his face became radiant, but his face was clean and beardless, and he looked like a eunuch in every gesture.

Behind him were Leng Tiancun and Li Guodong.

One of the two was elated, the other was expressionless and indifferent.

Finally, a group of guards with swords and spears followed closely behind.

The surrounding pedestrians were naturally afraid to avoid him, so they all consciously made way for him.

In just a few cups of tea, the group had already arrived at Dongchang.

Wan Qing got off his horse and asked his men to wait where they were. He went to see Eunuch Li and came quickly.

"I'd like to see you, Eunuch Li! I left the prison yesterday but didn't come to see you in time. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay. Can you tell us what happened?"

Wan Qing immediately told Eunuch Li everything about yesterday's battle with the killer.

Eunuch Li didn't know that Wan Qing was ambushed yesterday, but he only praised his martial arts and said flatly:

"Flat body, sit down. You need to be more careful in the future."

"yes."

Eunuch Li looked at Wan Qing who had just sat down, sighed and said with concern:

"We see that you have lost a lot of weight. You have been suffering in prison recently."

Na Wanqing was flattered and cupped his hands and said:

"I owe you my father-in-law's concern for me. But thanks to you, my father-in-law, I didn't suffer any physical pain in that prison. For me, it's just a different place to sleep."

Li Ruxi smiled and said:

"Haha, our family is humble and humble. How can we speak in the court? You have to thank His Highness and the Governor."

"Secondly, you are from Dongchang. How can we sit back and watch when we see you imprisoned? How can a loyal minister of the country be imprisoned and be wronged?"

Wan Qing said with fear:

"My father-in-law is serious!"

"My father-in-law, as well as His Highness and the Governor, I will never forget your great kindness, and I will never be able to repay it in my lifetime!"

Li Ruxi waved her hand, not wanting to talk nonsense with Wan Qingxu and the Snake, she just picked up the tea cup at hand and said:

"The Holy One originally wanted to kill you to appease the people. If it weren't for the lack of evidence from the Jin Yiwei and His Highness trying to protect you in front of the Holy One, you would have been dismembered long ago."

Seeing that Wan Qing was about to say some polite words again, Li Ruxi frowned and interrupted:

"These are troubled times, but there are still some people trying to fish in troubled waters right under our noses."

I heard Wan Qing say in surprise:

"Ah? Who is so arrogant? How dare you do something bad in front of your father-in-law? Please leave this matter to a humble official, who will definitely make you happy."

Li Ruxi stared at Wan Qing with strange eyes and said:

"How did Li Shanyuan's family, who escaped from Shandong a few days ago, become a bandit?"

"Not only the Li family, but also a dozen wealthy families have been accused of being bandits, which has caused panic in the capital."

"Are these people sincerely committing crimes, or are they deliberately plotting to murder?"

After Wan Qing heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that the person Li Eunuch said was "fishing in troubled waters" was actually himself. He didn't know how to respond for a while, and after a long time he said:

"I heard from someone in my humble position that the personal and material evidence of those households being complicit in bandits must be conclusive. They must be spies from the bandit sect in Shandong."

Seeing that Wan Qing took a long time to speak, Eunuch Li had an answer in his heart.

Immediately he stood up slowly, walked to the door, watched the changes in the sky and said:

"Whether these people are thieves or civilians, our family has never cared in the past. However, the Jin Yiwei and the Royal Horse Supervisor have been keeping a close eye on us recently. The Holy Spirit has just finished his anger, so it is best to give others less leverage after all."

"But no matter what, our Dongchang only listens to the Holy One's words, kill first and report later, with the imperial authority's permission! We can still find out this little thief."

After saying that, he turned around, stared at Wan Qing and said:

"I have gone too far in the past few days. You need to be careful in the future. Don't make yourself angry. Otherwise, those thieves will be punished in the future."

Wan Qing was shocked. If Eunuch Li really wanted to investigate carefully, he would have wanted to put the blame solely on Li Guodong.

After hearing this, he felt relieved immediately. Wan Qing exhaled a heavy breath and said:

"I understand my humble position. Thank you for your great kindness, father-in-law!"

What Eunuch Li means is that the commotion caused by the torture of wealthy households in the past few days has become a bit big.

I just want him to make the same mistake next time and stop letting people get hold of him over these little things.

As for Li Shanyuan's family, under the operation of Eunuch Li, they have definitely become spies who have collaborated with bandits, and will be taken to Lingchi and executed in the future.

As for the female relatives of the thieves, they have fifty sticks and can travel three thousand miles.

All of them were demoted to low status and sent to the army to comfort the soldiers. As the saying goes, they became military prostitutes.

Wan Qing secretly thought that the silver he had given to Eunuch Li before was probably too little.

Later, I will send someone to send more to please you.

When he was thinking this, Eunuch Li suddenly said:

"Shandong has not been very peaceful in recent months, did you know?"

"I have heard that I have heard that there has been no harvest in Shandong this year. As a result, chaos has arisen and thieves are swarming. Ignoring the emperor's favor and the Holy Heaven, he is really worthy of death."

"Well, the White Lotus rebels have been causing a lot of trouble in Shandong recently. The Holy One has long issued an order to suppress the rebellion, but now there are still chaos everywhere, and no results have been achieved. It is really worrying."

"A few days ago, the emperor specially summoned the governor and asked us to send some capable people from the East Factory to Shandong to help suppress the bandits."

At this point, Eunuch Li finally revealed his true intentions and told them his plan.

How could Wan Qing not understand? He immediately said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"When the country is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? Please send me to Shandong to suppress the rebels and bandits to repay the emperor's grace!"

What a coincidence, maybe his pardon this time is related to the suppression of bandits. Maybe the emperor wanted to make the best use of him and spared his life, Wan Qing thought secretly.

Li Ruxi smiled and said:

"Don't worry, if there is such a good opportunity to serve the country, we will definitely send you there."

"The civil unrest in Shandong has been going on for a long time, and the people are in dire straits. Although this bandit riot has not touched the foundation of our Daming, it has indeed damaged the prestige of the court. The garrison in Shandong is not effective in suppressing the bandits, so the emperor said that he would send a chief justice to be the military supervisor."

"After careful consideration, the governor decided to let your superior, Chief Wang, serve as the military supervisor to supervise the suppression of the bandits."

"As for you, you should protect Chief Wang and make sure there is no mistake. In addition, you should assist Chief Wang in suppressing the bandits with all your strength."
