The best eunuch

Chapter 85 Shandong corruption case, riot in the army

After Liang Rui entered the execution ground, Liang Xin found that there were many vegetable leaves and egg yolks hanging on his body.Liang Xin walked up to Liang Rui and joked with a smile: "That's right, the people of Bianjing are very warm to you."

Liang Rui laughed at himself and said: "During the severe drought in Shandong, we could only eat bark and roots, but we didn't expect that the egg and vegetable leaves in Bianjing were thrown by that person. If I had known, I wouldn't have rebelled. Come here directly How nice it is to be a thief in Bianjing."

"Hehe." Liang Xin smiled, and then said: "You will be interrogated and beheaded soon. I am the prison officer. Do you have any future wishes. Tell me, and I will help you fulfill it if possible."

Liang Rui shook his head and said: "As long as you imprison me, I will have no regrets. Although I, Liang Yulong, am not a hero, I have lived with great vigor anyway. If I just die at the hands of someone I despise It is a great regret for me.”

Liang Xin nodded, in admiration for Liang Rui's spirit of seeing death as home.

He beckoned, and Yin Jianglin immediately brought two bowls of wine.Liang Xin handed one of the bowls to Liang Rui and said, "Brother Yulong. You are a hero. I, Liang Xin, respect the hero most in my life. I respect you a toast."

"Okay." Liang Rui drank the wine in one gulp, and Liang Xin also drank the wine in one gulp.The two looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.

"Good wine. If I'm not mistaken, it should be 30-year-old Zhuyeqing." Liang Rui said.

Liang Xin nodded and said: "It is said that there are only ten altars from Bianjing Yipin Building."

"Thank you, Brother Liang." Liang Rui was moved.

Liang Xin looked up at the sky, sighed and said, "The time has come, Brother Yulong, go all the way."

"Okay." Liang Rui knelt on the execution platform, and Liang Xin sat back behind the long case of the execution platform.Huang Youde unfolded a verdict and read Liang Rui's crimes. Finally, Liang Xin took a kill order from the command tube. As long as he threw the kill order on the ground, the executioner would immediately take up the knife and drop Liang Rui. Rui's head was cut off.

Liang Xin stared at the killing order in his hand, and when he was about to throw it down, he heard a loud cry from outside the execution ground: "Whose girl, why did you run out without clothes?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at the place where the sound came from, and Liang Xin also stretched his neck to see, trying to see what was going on.

There was a lot of noise outside the execution ground, but there was no so-called "girl without clothes." Huang Youde coughed twice and then patted the table: "The execution ground is a heavy place, no noise is allowed." After speaking, he reminded Liang Xin softly: "Master Hou, the time has come."

Liang Xin took a deep breath and threw the kill order directly on the ground.The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on his gleaming broadsword, and then took out the torture token on the back of Liang Rui's neck.With the knife in hand, a big head rolled to the ground.

Liang Xin nodded to Yin Jianglin, and Yin Jianglin took out a linen bag to put Liang Rui's body away.

After exchanging greetings with Huang Youde and Zhao Weiwu, Liang Xin left the execution ground.As soon as he stepped into the carriage, Liang Xin saw a strong man sleeping in the carriage. Taking a closer look, wasn't this the Liang Rui who had just been beheaded?

Yin Jianglin drove the carriage back to the Liang Mansion, and carried Liang Rui in through the back door.In a room in the West Wing, Liang Xin held several herbs in his hands and let Liang Rui smell them.Liang Rui woke up leisurely, and was startled when he saw Liang Xin.

He said, "Brother Liang? Where am I? Shouldn't I be beheaded?"

Liang Xin smiled and said: "Liang Rui has already been beheaded, and you may have to change your name if you survive in the world."

Liang Rui was confused, he was stunned and asked: "What's going on here?"

Yin Jianglin, who was standing aside, explained: "My lord thinks you are a rare talent, and I can't bear to see you die like this. So we found a death row prisoner to replace you from the execution ground. We made I opened a secret compartment, and the condemned prisoner hid in it early in the morning. When the people arranged by the adults attracted the attention of the audience, we caught you at that moment."

Liang Xin glanced at Yin Jianglin appreciatively. He used to think he was stupid, but now it seems that he is not so bad.Although Liang Xin's righteousness and resourcefulness were not exaggerated too much, at least the whole matter was explained clearly.

After hearing this, Liang Rui immediately understood the whole story. He knelt down in front of Liang Xin and said, "Thank you sir for saving your life. Liang Rui will never repay you in this lifetime."

Liang Xin smiled and said, "Now that you have come back from the dead, do you have any plans for the future?"

"Plan?" Liang Rui thought for a while and said, "Before, I thought I was bound to die, so I didn't even think about the future. If you don't mind, let me follow you."

Liang Xin thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to follow me. But you may have to wear a mask in public in the future."

"No problem, sir." Liang Rui said excitedly.

Liang Rui's matter was successfully resolved, and Liang Xin was also very happy.In the afternoon, Liang Xin asked the cook in the mansion to cook a table of delicious dishes. Liang Xin called Lin Chong, Bai Chengfeng, Cao Yuanzheng, Yin Jianglin and the newcomer Liang Rui to have a meal together.

Liang Xin did not hide from Lin Chong and the others that he saved Liang Rui.Once this kind of thing gets out, Liang Xin will have to face the crime of beheading, but Lin Chong and the others are now Liang Xin's best brothers, and at the same time, they have a community of interests with Liang Xin.Without Liang Xin, each of them might still be in poverty and being bullied.

During the meal, Liang Xin briefly talked about the next step.The most important things at present are naturally three things. One is to formally take over the Infantry Division.The second is to start investigating who was involved in the embezzlement of disaster relief funds in the Shandong disaster relief incident.The third is to rush to Shandong for disaster relief.

Among the three things, the investigation into the case of Shandong's disaster relief funds embezzled by ink has long been handled by Xichang.He cast his eyes on Cao Yuanzheng and asked, "Yuanzheng. Did you find out about the ink corruption case involving disaster relief funds in Shandong?"

Cao Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Since the outbreak of the Shandong rebellion, our West Factory has started to investigate the whereabouts of the disaster relief funds in Shandong. Finally, we found that there were thirteen people involved in this disaster relief fund corruption."

"Thirteen?" Liang Xin was slightly surprised, he didn't expect there to be so many people.

"Well." Cao Yuanzheng nodded: "These thirteen are more greedy for ink, and the rest of the officials at the bottom are smuggling oil layer by layer. I don't care too much about it."

"Well. Then tell me who those thirteen people are." Liang Xin asked.

Cao Yuanzheng took out a list from his bosom and said: "These thirteen people are the judge of the household department's clothing and grain case, the Kongmu officer, the Dugou prison officer, and the Goufu officer. The judges in the two cases, Kong Mu Guan, Du Gou Ya Guan and Go Fu Guan were the judges. The other person was Cai Tao, a member of the Privy Council."

"Cai Tao?" Liang Xin thought for a while, he didn't remember who this person was at first, but he just thought that Cao Yuanzheng must have ulterior motives in listing him alone.After a little thought, Liang Xin remembered: "Cai Jing's second son?"

"Yes. It's him." Cao Yuanzheng replied.

Liang Xin's heart trembled, and he said to himself with a somewhat cold expression: "So that's how it is."

Cai Tao's participation in the Shandong disaster relief fund corruption case made Liang Xin figure out a lot of things.Why did Liang Xin's good news spread to Bianjing and he encouraged Ma Chaoyun to say that his good news was fake?The reason is that Cai Jing was afraid that if he really defeated the Shandong rebels, then the emperor would thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Shandong's disaster relief funds, and finally traced to his son Cai Tao.

"This person is not easy to move." Cao Yuanzheng said with a slight sigh.

Liang Xin lowered his head to think for a moment, and finally smiled lightly: "Who said I'm going to touch him. This time I'll give him a knock on the mountain. Yuanzheng, after you go down, except for these 13 people, any other people will go to the disaster relief." Those who reached out will be counted. We will start with those little shrimps first, and in the end Cai Tao, the big crocodile, will naturally be unable to sit still and will take the initiative to come to the door."

As soon as Liang Xin finished speaking, Wang Shiyin, dressed as a housekeeper, suddenly ran into the room.After seeing Liang Xin, Wang Shiyin said: "Master is not good. The concierge came to report to Wang Baosheng of Xichang to look for you. It is said that the infantry division heard that the commander was going to change and was making a commotion. Some soldiers of the infantry division had already uniformed the general and the tents were burned..."

"What?" Liang Xin was slightly startled, then sneered.He stood up and said with a snort: "In the past, I always heard people say that kindness does not lead soldiers, now look at it, this sentence is the truth."
