I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

Imperial Palace in Beijing, Jinluan Hall, during morning dynasty

"Your Majesty, this humble minister has been ordered to deal with the horse bandits! It has been more than half a month now, and a total of 4,282 bandits have been suppressed. No horse bandits can be found in northern Hebei and surrounding areas. There is no more danger of horse bandits. Please take a closer look, Your Majesty!"

The chief of the six gates reported the situation of the bandit suppression.

The empress was very happy after hearing this.

Uncle Emperor, can you still eat after losing so many soldiers and horses?

I really want to see your face now!

You must look good!

Haha!

"Guo Aiqing, you did a good job on this matter! Reward 10,000 taels of silver, 1 luminous pearl, and 10 longan pearls! In addition, everyone involved in this matter will be rewarded with 1,000 taels!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"The six-door chief is very happy.

This credit and reward are almost free.

Because they didn't pay anything, they didn't risk their lives and they didn't shed blood and sweat. They were mainly responsible for inspection and acceptance and distributing money, so they took the credit." I got it.

I’m really grateful to Lord Jijiu!

Guo Captou suddenly realized that working with Lord Jijiu was so promising!

He and his brothers were prepared to sacrifice their lives for their country when they met two grandmasters before. But The other party took action and easily moved the battlefield outside the capital. Not only did he not sacrifice, he also made a lot of money from it.

Later, the other party informed him about the ship hijacking during the military exercise, so that he could take the credit.

In addition, The credit for this achievement...

Master Jijiu is simply his lucky star!

It seems that he will have to move around more in the future!

"There is another person who is even more worthy of a heavy reward! The empress looked at Lin Beifan with a smile:"If Lin Aiqing hadn't come up with such a clever plan, our court would not have solved the problem of horse bandits so easily!" Lin Aiqing, you are indispensable!"

"It is my duty to share His Majesty's worries! Lin Beifan said loudly

"I know you don’t need anything now, so I won’t reward you with anything! I will remember this merit for now, and I will be rewarded together if I make further contributions in the future!"The Empress said loudly.

Lin Beifan knew that the Empress had accumulated merit for him again, and when he had accumulated enough, he would be promoted to another rank!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan responded.

"Your Majesty, during this bandit suppression process, ten bandit suppression heroes emerged, each of whom killed at least two hundred bandits! It is precisely because of them that our anti-bandit activities are so smooth! According to His Majesty's request, I have posted their good names and spread them throughout the world!"Guo Putou continued to report

"Guo Aiqing, you did a good job on this matter!"The empress nodded.

"One of them wiped out 514 horse bandits and became a great hero in suppressing bandits! However, this person's identity is very special, and the conditions he proposed are also very special. I dare not make a decision, so I came here to report to Your Majesty! The empress was in a good mood:"Who is that great hero? What are the conditions? Why can't you make up your mind?""

"Your Majesty, this person claims to be the Bull Demon King, but his original identity is Daniel. He is the culprit who led 30,000 soldiers to defect before, and is currently a wanted fugitive from the imperial court!"

The court was in an uproar!

Unexpectedly, the great hero of the bandit suppression was actually a wanted fugitive!

And he was not an ordinary fugitive wanted fugitive, but someone who had previously killed an official of the court and defected with 30,000 soldiers!

"The condition proposed by this person is to cancel the wanted order on him and forgive all his crimes! Because this matter is so important, I dare not make a decision, so I came here to report it to the Holy One!

The empress' eyes became serious:"Dear ladies, what do you think?" Just say it!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do it! Li Kaiguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said:"

This person killed the imperial official and committed treason. He almost caused irreparable losses to the imperial court. He is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven!" If he agrees to his request and forgives his sins, where will the court's laws be? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"Several other officials stood up and said in unison.

"Li Aiqing, what do you think should be done? asked the empress

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that we should take the opportunity to bring him to justice and put him on trial!"Li Kaiguang said loudly.

He lowered his head and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes.

It was this person who caused him to be blamed for something inexplicable. It was this person who caused Lin Beifan to take the opportunity to ransack his home, which made him so miserable. He worked hard for half his life and returned to poverty overnight.

The hatred was too great, and he had to kill that person to relieve the hatred in his heart!

At this time, Lin Beifan stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I think that Master Li's method is inappropriate!"

"What's wrong? asked the empress

"Our court promises that if you become a great bandit-suppressing hero, you can put forward a not-too-excessive condition to the court! If we ignore our promise and put the other party in jail, won't we be laughed at by everyone in the world? By then, the majesty and credibility of our court will also be gone! Your Majesty, please think twice! Lin Beifan said loudly

"Lin Jijiu, he is a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and he is also a treasonous criminal! If we let him go so easily, what if others follow our example? Can you afford the consequences?"Li Kaiguang said angrily.

Lin Beifan smiled:"Master Li, these words are serious! Can others follow my example? Then you have to have this ability first. Can ordinary soldiers kill generals? If you can kill all these, it means that the general is a loser, so don’t let him go!"

"you!"Li Kaiguang glared angrily

"As for others, will they follow suit and commit treason? Lin

Beifan chuckled softly:"If they eat well, live well, get military pay every month, and the general treats them well, who would be willing to commit treason?" After all, treason is a matter of beheading and losing one's head. Who is willing to take this risk?"

"Therefore, Mr. Li’s words actually don’t make much sense!"

Li Kaiguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was speechless after being refuted and could only change his perspective.

"But where are the imperial laws? After all, he committed treason and was a wanted criminal by the imperial court. How could he be pardoned so easily? Yes, he did make meritorious deeds, but the merits are not worth the merit!"

"It is true that the merit is not worth it, but you can show mercy outside the law! Lin

Beifan bowed and said:"Your Majesty, whether to arrest, release, or do other treatment, we must consider it comprehensively and analyze the pros and cons, in order to make a decision that is most beneficial to the court!""

"The first thing is to catch! In this way, our court has indeed solved a potential harm, but the prestige of our court will also be lost! It seems like it does more harm than good!"

"Next is release! Although our reputation has been preserved, it has indeed harmed our laws! Moreover, since this person is outside and not subject to restraints, I am afraid that everyone is not reassured. It will still do more harm than good!"

"So Wei Chen has a third method, to recruit people!"

"Recruitment? The empress was thoughtful:"My dear, please continue talking!""

"Recruitment has many benefits! Lin

Beifan said with a smile:"On the one hand, it can preserve the reputation and prestige of the imperial court, and it can also show the emperor's grace and make more people choose to serve the imperial court and serve His Majesty the imperial court!""

"Secondly, after recruiting that person, it is equivalent to doing things under our noses. We can keep an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything harmful to the court again. In this way, everyone will feel more at ease!"

"Thirdly, that person's ability is so great that he can become a great bandit-suppressing hero. He must have something special about him. There is no need to pity such a person! We can let him continue to serve the court and continue to commit crimes and perform meritorious services! When his merits are sufficient, his sins can be fully pardoned. This will not undermine the court's laws!"

"Your Majesty, do you think so?"

"My beloved, this move is very pleasing to me! Empress Long Yan was delighted:"That's it!" But to whose custody would this man be entrusted?"

"Your Majesty, leave it to me!"Captain Guo of Liumen stood up and said with a smile:"This person is not only good at kung fu, but he is also good at tracking in the mountains and discovering enemy traces in time. I, Liumen, just need such a talent!"

"Okay, leave it to Guo Aiqing!"

In this way, the matter has been settled.

As a wanted criminal by the court, this great hero of the bandit suppression has committed an unforgivable crime and cannot be easily pardoned.

However, the court is merciful and true to his word, and will no longer continue to be wanted.. But you must enter the six gates, accept the supervision of the court, continue to serve the court, and make meritorious deeds.

It can be said that this method of handling is very appropriate, and the face is taken up, so that people can’t find anything wrong!

The great bandit-suppressing hero Da Niu knows After that, he was very happy.

Although his sins were not completely forgiven, he was considered free. He no longer had to cover his head and face when walking on the road, and he no longer had to worry about others catching him. He could go see his brother openly.

Although it was necessary Enter the Six Gates, accept the supervision of the court, and serve the court.

But looking at it from another direction, this is also considered to be eating from the public family. Many people want to enter the Six Gates but there is no such way.

As long as you don't make any mistakes, you can be stable in this life. It went on steadily.

So, he followed the six gate masters to the six gates of the capital and met with Mr. Guo.

"Caomin... my subordinate, Mr. Guo, is here to pay my respects!

Mr. Guo looked at Daniel up and down, and nodded with satisfaction:"Yes, he is a talent!" I heard that you are particularly good at tracking, and you have found many horse bandits hiding in the wilderness. Our Six Gates just need talents like you!"

"Good job! As for the sins on your body, don’t take it to heart! When your merits are enough, I will petition the Holy Spirit to completely forgive your sins!"

"Yes, my lord!"Daniu said with great joy

"However, you are really brave! The court wanted you everywhere, but you still dared to come and kill the bandits, and you dared to propose such conditions to the court. How impulsive! You know, your life was almost lost!"Guo Captou was not happy.

Daniel was shocked:"Then why?……"

"Isn’t it because of Lord Jijiu?"Guo Captou smiled and said:"If Lord Jijiu hadn't helped you argue your case and say good things to you in the court, you would have been doomed long ago! After all, what you committed was treason, which almost caused heavy losses to the court and turmoil in the country. It would be good if I didn’t take off your head!"

"Lord Jijiu……"Daniel's eyes were complicated, and his mood was also very complicated.

He remembered the boy he met two months ago!

It was he who took action, quickly solved the rebellion, and even let him live, which left a very deep impression on him!

Unexpectedly, it was him again who saved his life in the court!

The two met by chance and had no grudges or grudges. Why were they so nice to him?

Daniel cupped his hands and said,"Mr. Guo, I would like to ask you for a leave of absence to pay my respects to Master Jijiu. Please allow me to do so!""

"This should be done, go ahead! Say hello to Master Jijiu for me!"

So, Daniel bought some valuable gifts and went to the Lin Mansion to thank Lin Beifan. He also solemnly stated that if he needed to be informed, he would do his best to repay his life-saving grace.
