There was a big disturbance in the world. The Imperial Preceptor¡¯s Office not only arrested the new gang leader, a group of elders and key members of the Beggar Clan, but also arrested hundreds of famous people in the world in Xingzilin.
At this moment, the entire Central Plains martial arts community was shocked. The family members of those arrested even went to the officials to demand explanations. Suddenly, newspapers from all over the country flew to Bianjing like snowflakes.
¡°These arrested Jianghu people are all very famous and financially powerful people in the local area, and the court officials naturally did not dare to neglect them.
Just when the Yinfu Army was escorting the captured Beggar Clan leaders You Tanzhi, Azi, the Beggar Clan elders and those Jianghu people to Bianjing, Emperor Zhao Xu also summoned Zhang Daoling at the court meeting.
Today, Zhang Daoling is wearing a black seven-star Taoist robe, with long hair disheveled and a smile on his face.
The moment he entered the Zichen Hall, all the eyes of the civil and military officials in the hall were focused on him.
"Meet your majesty." Zhang Daoling bowed his head to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was about to open his mouth to let him stand down when the official in charge of court etiquette suddenly shouted: "Dear pilgrims, why are the imperial masters disheveled? This is the crime of underestimating and being arrogant. Your Majesty, please punish him severely."
Zhang Daoling turned his head and glanced at the official, then looked at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I forgive the imperial master. The imperial master is a free and easy immortal, why should he stick to the rules of the world?"
At this time, an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and you should set an example for the monarch of heaven, earth and all things. Master Yuji is our great master of the Song Dynasty, how can you disrespect the emperor?"
"Who is this?" Zhang Daoling looked at the official who spoke.
The official listened to Zhang Daoling's inquiry and said calmly: "I am not a talented person, so I will serve as Privy Council envoy."
Zhang Daoling smiled, who he thought he was, turned out to be Zeng Bu.
Zhang Daoling asked back: "Since it is said to be the emperor, is it the emperor for me alone, or the emperor for everyone in the world?"
Zeng Bu said: "The emperor is naturally the emperor of the people in the world."
"Is the world settled? Are there still people who disobey the emperor?" Zhang Daoling asked again.
Zeng Bu was stunned and said: "The world has been settled for a long time. What does the imperial master mean by this?"
Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "Is it possible that the Privy Council is confused? There is Liao in the north, Xixia in the west, and Dali in the south. These are all lands of Xia, and none of them obey the emperor. How can we say that the world has been settled?"
"This" Zeng Bu's eyes narrowed.
Zhang Daoling asked again: "Does the Privy Council want to say that these places are not the land of Zhuxia?"
Zhang Daoling pressed forward step by step: "In the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the homeland of the Xia Dynasty, there are people who do not obey the emperor, and the ministers do not want to calm down, but even accuse me in the court. Is this what you are capable of? ?¡±
"Please don't talk about him." The etiquette official from before said: "Today we are talking about the disrespect of the Imperial Master before the king."
"Oh." Zhang Daoling nodded, then stretched out his hand to pull his hair on top of his head, took out the hairpin from his sleeve and inserted it, then bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "I have violated the rules of conduct before you, your majesty. Please punish me."
Zhao Xu quickly said: "The Imperial Preceptor is working hard for me day and night. I won't care about this little thing. I forgive the Imperial Preceptor for his guilt."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Daoling bowed respectfully.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Daoling and said: "The reason why we summoned the imperial master today is not for other reasons, but because there are reports from various places. Please tell Cai Shangshu in detail what happened."
After saying that, Zhao Xu looked at a middle-aged civil servant among the ministers.
I saw this man walking out slowly, bowed to Zhao Xu, then looked at Zhang Daoling, and said: "We have received complaints from various places that the imperial master connived with the Yinfu army to arrest the people of the Song Dynasty. Is this true?"
Zhang Daoling looked at this civil servant and knew who he was from the moment Zhao Xu said his official name.
Cai Jing, a traitorous minister as famous as Qin Hui in the history of the Song Dynasty.
But looking at his solemn look at this time, he clearly looked upright and did not look like a treacherous minister.
Zhang Daoling said calmly: "The Yinfu Army arrested some people in the Jianghu, but they did not arrest innocent civilians."
With that said, he looked at Cai Jing and asked, "Has Shangshu seen common people who often carry swords on their waists?"
If it were the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was indeed very common for people to carry swords and knives, but this was the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty had the martial arts style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the capital would not have been broken, and both emperors would have been captured to the north.
"Does the Imperial Master say that these accusations are all false?" Cai Jing said, holding the thick pile of proclamations in his hand.
Zhang Daoling just glanced atHe rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Whether it is true or not, you will have to check it out to find out."
After saying that, Zhang Daoling said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask your Majesty to send a minister to investigate this matter? Our division will definitely cooperate fully."
Zhao Xu glanced at the civil and military officials. He also wanted to have an explanation for them, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Cai Jing."
Hearing this, Cai Jing immediately stepped forward and said, "I am here."
"It's up to you to work with the Third Division to thoroughly investigate this matter. If what the Imperial Master says is true, we must not let those who falsely accuse him go." Zhao Xu's tone clearly contained a hint of warning.
Cai Jing responded respectfully: "I obey your order."
Afterwards, Zhao Xu broke up the court meeting, summoned Zhang Daoling alone in the palace for a moment, and then asked Tong Guan to escort Zhang Daoling out of the palace.
At the same time, at Cai Jing's home, a group of officials were discussing with Cai Jing how to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Imperial Prefecture.
"Your Majesty's words today seem to be biased towards the Imperial Guard," an official said.
Another official said: "Remove the seeming. Your Majesty is deliberately favoring the Imperial Preceptor, and you don't want the Imperial Preceptor to refine the elixir of immortality. Hmph, Your Majesty is also confused. Where can there be any immortality in this world?"
"But with your Majesty's attitude, even if we investigate and deal with the evidence, your Majesty will deal with it leniently, right?" said an official.
"Then investigate an unpardonable crime." Cai Jing said with a smile: "I have my own way."
Zhang Daoling returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion and told Wu Yazi what happened today, and said, "There is something you need to do."
Wu Yazi understood and nodded.
In the evening, Cai Jing, who had just finished his meal, lay down to rest in the garden of the mansion, served by two beautiful concubines.
Suddenly a strong wind blew, bringing with it a hint of coolness. One of the concubines said, "It's too cold. I'm going to get some clothes for you."
Seeing this, another concubine also said quickly: "I will go get hot tea for you."
¡°Then the two concubines left quickly, leaving Cai Jing alone lying on the bamboo chair with a smile on his face, looking very comfortable.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the garden wall, and Cai Jing opened his eyes as if feeling something.
"Who?" Cai Jing sat up suddenly and shouted loudly.
¡°Then the figure suddenly flashed in front of Cai Jing, and then hit Cai Jing in the chest with a palm.
Cai Jing groaned, and the bamboo chair under him instantly fell apart and shattered into pieces.
"Cai Jing's chest was deeply dented, black blood spit out from his mouth, and his heart was completely shattered by the internal force.
Cai Jing fell to the ground and died. The ghostly figure stretched out his fingers and used his inner strength to write two lines of large characters on the ground beside him.
"A righteous man in the Jianghu eradicates traitors for the country."
Then, the mysterious figure disappeared into the garden along with the breeze.
When the two concubines rushed back to the garden, they saw Cai Jing's body and the two lines of large characters, and they immediately screamed in horror.
An hour later, the news spread throughout Bianjing that Cai Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs in the Song Dynasty, a Hanlin scholar and a scholar, and a state historian, was killed at home by Jianghu people.
The common people were in high spirits, celebrating the death of another traitorous minister, while the officials who heard the news were astonished and fell into deep thought.
