The shock caused by the visual impact of a corpse whose head was cut off and still twitched was unintentionally comparable. With a shout of exclamation in unison, the onlookers all took a few steps back in horror. No one expected that someone would be beheaded in public because of a few more strange words. For a moment, no one dared to say more, and there was not even a whisper.

The two idle men tied up with guilt were even more scared to the ground. Even the guy who was still talking hard just now was still looking at the corpse in the pool of blood, shaking like a sieve, afraid that the word Yi was thrown away. I guess he was more grateful that he had just spoken out without being chopped off his head, and he felt like he was living in a desperate situation.

"Master Cai is so cruel, he dares to kill people in the street!" Chen Shu on the platform was also startled, but after all, she had experienced the battle of Yashan Mountain. The scene was not scared, and she soon calmed down and stuck out her tongue.

"Don't bully honest people, it will be even more terrifying if they start to get angry!" Zhao Bing smiled, and he looked around and looked at the crowds with many suspicious people, including not only the soldiers from the Guards' camp, but also the spies from the Affairs Bureau, but some of them may be the followers and servants of the powerful families in the capital. Besides, there is such a big bustle in the capital, how can the tabloid reporters be missing?

The guards were easy to identify. Although they were wearing casual clothes, they could not hide the military aura accumulated over the years and their behaviors and behaviors. The spies from the Bureau of Affairs were even more hidden. They put on makeup and became all kinds of people, mixed in the crowd. Those who didn't know the inside did not know their identity at all, but Zhao Bing could see through his disguise through the codes and unique signs of contact between them. However, he believed that these people must have discovered themselves, and formed a seemingly loose defense circle on his periphery, closely monitoring the movements of the surrounding people.

In order to obtain information in a timely manner, especially those related to political enemies, officials in Beijing will secretly send people to monitor it, and even collect information on the streets so that they can learn about the people and political situation as soon as possible, so as not to accidentally miscalculate the situation. However, they do not have the ability to train special spies, and generally choose smart followers or servants, or even buy information from street idle men. Therefore, these non-professionals are not skilled in business and clumsy in their work, and can easily be distinguished.

As for those tabloid reporters, they were much more active. They ignored the bloody scene and rushed around the crowd without any scruples, asking the people they saw to collect first-hand information and promptly feed back to their respective tabloids in order to report first among many peers. And for these people, the yamen runners in Lin'an Mansion have long been accustomed to, and they have no intention of stopping them.

"No, Gao Gui is here!" Chen Shu pulled the little emperor's hand again and pointed.

"He can't sit still, which means he is guilty!" Zhao Bing looked over and saw Gao Gui standing up with the help of two servants, walking towards him, and there were several strong guards behind him, but in his opinion, it was just a bluff.

"Gao Gui has a second rank and a duke, how dare the prefect Cai touch him!" Chen Shu naturally knew which end of the kang was. Cai Wanyi had already joined the emperor in the General's Mansion, and said that it was older than the Chen family. Moreover, he had always been trusted and valued by the emperor, so he was a little anxious.

"He naturally has no right to punish him, but he has to do nothing. Let's just watch and don't reveal his identity!" Zhao Bing said as he pulled Chen Shu backwards and hid behind the guards. He knew that if Cai Wanyi could take the opportunity to handle this matter, he would open up a dull situation related to the city transformation, but he did not want to be exposed too early to avoid affecting his decision...

Cai Wanyi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Gao Gui coming towards him. He knew that today's confrontation was not only another conflict between the old and new forces, but also a battle to open up a passive situation and establish his position in the court. In fact, since he was ordered to rule the Lin'an Mansion, he knew that the young emperor had high hopes for him, hoping that he could manage the capital well and make Lin'an the fundamental place for the revival of the Song Dynasty.

However, Cai Wanyi thought that he had not yet fulfilled the emperor's trust. One reason was that Lin'an was a gathering place for all forces. The political situation was complicated, and if he was not careful, he would become a victim of the struggles of all parties. Even if the emperor wanted to protect him, it would be difficult for the emperor to protect him. Secondly, he was born in a low background and had never participated in the imperial examination. He was only able to enter the officialdom by his father's embrace, and his starting point was very low. Everyone was like this when he was in Qiongzhou, and it was not abrupt, but when he arrived in Lin'an, he was different. New officials who entered the dynasty were often Jinshi, or had a deep qualification, and had worked in the prefecture or Beijing.

Faced with such a complicated situation, Cai Wanyi had to be cautious everywhere, be humble and humble, fearing that he would make mistakes so as not to make it difficult for the emperor to do. Even so, he failed to open up the situation, but was still excluded and ridiculed by his colleagues, thinking that he was just holding the emperor's thick legs and was able to steal the high position. He was really an incompetent junior.

On the other hand, everyone who entered the General's Mansion made their own achievements. Even Huang Xianyao, Lin Zhiwu and others, who were lower than their status at the beginning, had made some achievements. Recently, Zhou Xiang, who has always been regarded as the most unreliable, has done several major events that have been highly praised by the emperor after being promoted to the Minister of Works. He is still reluctant to change Lin'an City. Although the emperor did not blame him, he also felt that he was filthy. Today he felt that it was an opportunity and a challenge. He could not retreat, and even if he was disgraced, he would have to face it.

"The emperor is polite, which has disturbed the Duke. Please atone for his sins!" Seeing Gao Gui helping him down and approaching, Cai Wanyi was dressed and stepped forward and bowed to him.

"There is my original in the eyes of the Prime Minister Cai... my Duke!" Gao Gui actually prefers to call him the Prime Minister. After all, this title is more authoritative than the empty title, and he often calls himself in front of others. However, this Prime Minister Cai is so ignorant, but he also knows that an official who has retired has been out of date even if he has prestige in the past. Moreover, in front of a prefect who holds the power of the capital, it is really not a polite saying that he is a Duke. He barely squeezes out his smile and bows his hands and sits down.

"What does the Duke say? How dare you disrespect the officials?" Cai Wanyi felt angry when he saw that he was so arrogant, but he still politely said. However, Zheng Sixiao shook his sleeves and turned his back, looking disdainful to talk to him.

"Since the Prime Minister Cai still has my Duke in his eyes, how can this matter end?" Gao Gui looked at Cai Wanyi and said in a deep voice.

"Duke Gao was joking. Your slaves first insulted and beat Jingshi Zheng, and then beat the yamen runners of Lin'an Prefecture. The case was closed so hasty, I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public. I also asked the Duke to understand his subordinates!" Cai Wanyi replied without being humble and arrogant.

"The Master Cai is making a living in the capital, so why should we be aggressive? I have handed over the murderer and am willing to apologize to Jingshi Zheng. The injured yamen runner is willing to give compensation. Wouldn't everyone have a good time?" Gao Gui frowned and thought in his mind whether Cai Wanyi wanted to bargain with him or Chunxin wanted to find fault with him and wanted to attack him.

"Censor Zheng, Duke Gao apologized and gave compensation to you. Are you willing?" Cai Wanyi turned to Zheng Sixiao and asked after hearing this.

"Hmph, although I am humble and lack money, I want reason, not compensation!" Zheng Sixiao snorted coldly, "As long as he admits that he is wrong to dump garbage into the river, and is willing to accept punishment, and the streets occupied by Teng Rang, I will no longer pursue this matter!"

"Why should Censor Zheng be so stubborn? I will teach those servants a lesson in the future and make them abide by the rules and regulations. As for the invasion of the streets, the capital is full of people, and it is not my family, so why should I stare at us?" Gao Gui was helpless about this and then said, "Although Mr. Gao has retired, he still has some old friends and relatives in the court. He can help each other, so why make enemies? In addition, Censor Zheng needs a lot of compensation, and I can speak, and I have no other words."

"Duke Gao intends to publicly bribe the official, or to intimidate him?" Zheng Sixiao turned around and sneered.

“郑御史是不给高某这个面子了,还要多想想,不要冲动!”高桂被郑思肖当众扫了脸面,却又对这个不爱钱的家伙十分无奈,自己总不能当众再揍他一顿,只能恨恨地劝说道.

"Everyone just heard that Duke Gao said he would give some medicine money to the injured brothers and ask you not to pursue this matter again, are you willing?" Cai Wanyi turned around and asked the yamen runners who had been beaten up and had a bruised nose and swollen face.

"I've reported to the prefect, my brothers are embarrassed, but if we don't punish those illegal people, we will no longer have the face to serve in this capital. We will ask Shangguan Wei Xiao to make the decision!" After looking at each other, the yamen runners knelt on one knee and asked for his order.

"Okay, I should make the decision for you and others, get up and obey your orders!" Cai Wanyi raised his hand and said seriously.

"Thank you Shangguan to make the decision for us!" The yamen runners stood up and said.

"Duke Gao also saw it. Even if I wanted to reconcile, the parties involved refused to give up. I could only do my business!" Cai Wanyi turned around and said solemnly.

"Master Cai, you are playing with me." No matter how stupid Gao Gui saw that Cai Wanyi was leading him step by step into the ditch, stood up and pointed at him with his fingers, "You killed people in the street and framed good people. I must contact my colleagues to go to the palace to study your book and dismiss you from your post."

"Haha, the Duke of the State can participate, but I am still the prefect of Lin'an today, so I must enforce the law impartially. Come!" Cai Wanyi laughed dryly and said with a solemn expression.

"exist!"

"Here!" The three yamen runners of Lin'an Prefecture and the officers and soldiers of the inspectors and soldiers responded in unison.

"Take all the madmen who beat Jingshi Zheng and the law enforcement yamen runners awaiting trial!" Cai Wanyi raised his hand and pointed.

"I'll take the order!" The soldiers of the inspection department immediately drew their swords and surrounded all the people in the Gao Mansion. The beaten yamen runners stepped forward to identify them. In a moment, they tied up all the dozen Gao Mansion servants and the guards.

"Help your life, we all obey orders, and we must not let death stop..." The yamen runners would not take the opportunity to vent their personal anger. The Gao family members were also forced to get a few heart-warming fists and shadowless feet. They were so painful that they cried and howled. How could they not be afraid of the headless corpse beside them? So they kept asking Gao Gui for help.

"Don't bite you randomly. When did my country's Duke instruct you? Master Cai, don't listen to their nonsense!" Gao Gui avoided it at this time and tried his best to get rid of them.

"Duke Gao, who is instructing him secretly? You will know when you go back and pass the court one by one. Don't be in a hurry!" Cai Wanyi chuckled, "Duke should know that Your Majesty has issued orders repeatedly, and Lin'an Prefecture has also posted notices many times that waste must not be dumped in the rivers in the city. Violators must be severely punished."

"I know, but I live in the mansion. I don't know that those guys actually ignored the national laws and dumped dirt into the river. But I also have the crime of not being strict with the control!" Gao Gui of course knew these bans, and had learned earlier that the little emperor had done in Qiongzhou. At that time, everyone was seriously punished. Although he had been rectified many times after he arrived in Lin'an, the effect was not good, so no one took it seriously. But this time he hit the gun. But Cai Wanyi obviously wanted to use his own surgery to establish his authority. If he was punished to clean the streets, he would not only lose his face, but also lose his inner thoughts, so he made up his mind to admit it.

"In this way, Duke Gao admitted that there was such a case, but the announcement stated that the servants violated the family and the head of the family was the same. Duke must suffer!" Cai Wanyi had already expected that he would exonerate himself in this way, and bowed and smiled.

"Okay, I accept the punishment!" Gao Gui thought that Cai Wanyi was sincerely unable to get along with him. If he continued to get entangled, it would only make things more complicated. It would be better to admit it first and then ask someone to deal with it secretly, so he nodded and admitted it.

"In addition, there is a street invasion. The Duke's restaurants and shops are almost occupied on the road. Please demolish them together and free up the land!" Cai Wanyi bowed again.

"Master Cai, don't bully people too much. This is what I bought from this restaurant and shop. How can I invade the streets? Even if you are an official in the court, you can't be so domineering!" Gao Gui couldn't help it after hearing this and shouted sternly.

"Coax..." Gao Gui's words caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers. After careful listening, there were many shameless and old rascals.

"Since it is a place where the transaction is coming, there must be a contract and its own size, I will bother the Duke of the State to take it to his views with me. This is also a good explanation for everyone!" Cai Wanyi was not angry, but said with a smile, but his tone was unquestionable.

"Master Cai, do you think I'm easy to bully? If you want to tear it today, step over me. If you hurt half of my hair, see who will dare to support you in the court!" Gao Gui knew that if he took out a contract, it would be equivalent to confirming the fact that he invaded the street, so he simply played with the hob.

"You..." Gao Gui, as the Duke of the Emperor's personal title, could not be able to act without hesitation. Seeing him sitting on a chair and blocking in front of him, he didn't know what to do.
