Half an hour later, General Chen Ping, the sailor, rushed over and apologized when he met. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The state government ordered Yin to lead the officials to hurry over, and when he boarded the ship, his face changed slightly, there were a lot of blood stains on the ship, and when he entered the floor, there were also large blood stains on the ground, and there were also the corpses of the officials who raised them.
The governor glanced at Ling Yin coldly: "These assassins are also mixed in with the dancing girls, check, you must find out for me." ”
Seeing that the governor's face was not good, Ling Yin hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Yes, Lord Governor, I will lead people to dig deep and find out who is colluding with the Japanese robbers." ”
Chen Ping knelt down and knelt down: "Governor, we will go all out to investigate clearly." ”
The governor sat on the stool with a blue face, did not speak, and said for a while: "General Chen is exempt, it is these Japanese who are too rampant, I didn't expect to break through Fuxian a few days ago, and these days they dare to come to the state city to attack me, this is something that no one expected, you don't have to blame yourself." ”
As he said this, a group of soldiers rushed up, and there was a hint of a forest, and one of the captains at the head bowed down, and when he saw his brother lying on the ground, his eyes were red, but he did not speak, and got up and lined up around the governor.
These people were the elite who were responsible for protecting the governor, subordinate to the imperial court, and under the personal command of the governor, and at this time, the governor breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "These died for me, and I will be buried!"
The captain and the armor soldier both knelt down and shouted, "Lord Xie." ”
The governor also ordered: "Seal off the scene, and wait for the people of the state city to come to the ship to investigate." ”
He said to Pei Ziyun again: "Pei Xie Yuan has worked hard, let's go back and rest first!"
Only then did he get up and leave, and returned to the governor's palace, where the governor saw someone greeting him and ordered: "Slow down the tea, you can take Pei Ziyun's document." ”
Then he said, "Call all the staff." ”
Seeing that everyone was going out, the governor sat on the chair with his leaden feet, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't feel that his cheeks were slightly sunken and darkened, and today he was hovering between life and death, cold sweat seeping into his underwear, and he was in the governor's palace with heavy armor, and he was relieved.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, the candles were feverish, and after drinking a bowl of hot ginseng soup, the governor felt refreshed, and his eyes flashed with cold light, staring at the long candlelight, which slowly dimmed again.
"There's no evidence!"
Out of this incident, the governor actually suspected that the first suspicion was that the Marquis of Jibei, who represented the imperial court and fought for power with the Hou Ye, but he didn't expect that the attack of the Japanese invaders broke out in Juju, and he had doubts in his heart, but now there is no evidence.
"The Marquis of Jibei is in the Marquis, and he can't move easily. Thinking like this, he heard a voice outside, and some of his staff rushed in, entered the room, and sat in columns.
The governor's face was not good, and he said with a cold face: "Today, I am looking for you for this matter because of the attack on my official's ship, what do you think?" ”
The staff present were all shocked, and a thin old man in his fifties stepped forward and asked: "Your Excellency, I want to explain the situation in detail, and I can wait for the adults to share their worries." ”
"Also, what about Lord Chen?"
Lord Chen is actually the mastermind of the governor, and he is the only one among the staff who recommends him to obtain the official status, so he is called an adult.
This person's surname is Suo, and he is the highest-ranking person in the staff group, and the governor also gives three points of face.
"Hey!" the governor sighed deeply, and talked about the matter in detail, saying that Mr. Chen was killed for himself, he couldn't help but cry, this is his right-hand man, and he didn't want to be killed by these thieves, and he couldn't help it.
"What? Woko dared to attack adults, damn it. These staff members were shocked and delighted, this Mr. Chen is the governor's mastermind, and the governor's staff have no way to behave, hearing that Mr. Chen is dead, they are all secretly happy, and they have stepped forward to show their loyalty.
"My lord, I suspect that this matter is very likely to be done by the Hou Mansion, and I want to eradicate the thorn in my side. "One of the staff members just stepped forward and said.
"No, my lord, I think this is the state capital has a wolf eyeliner, as soon as the lord goes to the banquet, the thieves will know, so they will come to attack. ”
"My lord, I think these things are not the key, but how to deal with the impact of this assassination, now that the Japanese invaders have penetrated deep into Anzhou, and can even enter Anzhou to assassinate, what about other counties? ”
"My lord, I think that the sea should be banned, and at the same time a sailor should be deployed at the mouth of the sea to prevent the pirates from going up the current again and raiding the state capital and coastal areas, otherwise the bandits will penetrate deeply, and I am afraid the impact will be more than that. ”
There are all kinds of theories, and they also say that they will make peace with the Marquis of Jibei and deal with the Japanese Kou together, but they are arguing with each other, ironic, and there is no common caliber.
Listening to the chaotic conversation in the venue, the governor couldn't help but rub his temples and said, "Mr. Suo, you and a few people will sort out these things together, and summarize them for me tomorrow, I am a little tired." ”
Several staff members in the field were stunned, and the words that disturbed them all stopped, and Suo Ping, the leader, sighed in his heart, knowing that the words of himself and others did not enter the eyes of the governor, and his mood was inexplicable.
Seeing that everyone in the venue was retreating, the governor slammed the teacup on the ground, tilted his face, and sighed for a while: "How can I explain to the court if such a thing happens?"
"The emperor is wise and martial, but his health is not very good, it is when he wants to smooth the thorns for the prince, can he allow me to solve it for a long time?"
"Xianggong!"
The governor pondered for a long time, and when he heard a familiar voice sound, a gentle hand gently pinched his shoulder: "Husband, I heard from my subordinates just now that General Han was covered in blood to escort Xianggong back, and when he came in, he found that the soldiers who went out with you did not come back, and he called his staff to come back, did something happen?"
The Governor's wife said this, and her voice trembled.
The governor experienced the assassination, and his mind was also uncertain, but he could not show his cowardice in front of his wife, smiled, and said: "Don't worry, Madame, it's just a Japanese assassination, and it will be peaceful in a blink of an eye, I have nothing to do, and I have sent someone out to investigate." ”
The Governor looked calm and unstressed, except for a puddle of broken tea and fragments of teacups on the ground.
"Huh? "The governor's wife never imagined that there would be a raid on the building in the state capital, and she cried out in surprise.
When he shouted out, he realized that he was making a fuss, and lowered his voice: "Xianggong, this is an inland river, far away from the coast, and there are still Japanese invaders at night, could it be that the Japanese have invaded the interior?"
Listening to his wife's words, the governor waved his hand: "This is absolutely impossible, the Japanese are weak, and the attack on Fuxian County is all by sneak attack, how can they really go deep into the interior?"
"And this attack on the building ship, as soon as the city guards supported it, these would-be robbers all retreated, which shows that the number is actually very limited. ”
"But if you can attack inland, I can't rule out that someone is secretly helping. ”
The governor's wife stretched out her hand and gently squeezed her husband's shoulder: "I advised you not to fight for this governor, how good it is to be a Beijing official with peace of mind, why bother to come to the place to insert this troubled water." ”
"Du Niang, although my Guo family has meritorious service from the dragon, but it is only a civil official, and the three brothers in the family have become officials, if I don't go to the place to share the emperor's worries, how can I be this three-grade official?"
"But your personal guard died in battle, and even Mr. Chen didn't come, I'm afraid it's already suffering. Du Niang said quietly, the governor sighed, stretched out his hand to hold the hand that was rubbing his shoulder, and said, "Du Niang......"
The words from the Governor's mouth did not speak, and the two men were speechless, looking at each other.
"My lord, the materials have been brought in according to your request. A scribe knocked at the door.
"Come in. The governor sat up straight, and let his wife avoid it, and the scribe took a copy of the case and a book, and presented it.
The file was stamped with cinnabar and sealed, and the governor took the file, and the scribe stepped back to the door.
The governor held the case file and unfolded it, which was densely packed with small characters, and the governor looked at it all the way, and his expression changed slightly: "Originally, I thought that this son and the third prince of Houfu intersected and attached themselves to the Marquis of Jibei, but now it seems that it is not the same." ”
The Governor's wife came out from behind the screen and asked, "Xianggong, who are you talking about?"
The governor smiled: "I'm talking about the new Xie Yuan Pei Ziyun, today Wenyan is fortunate that this son killed the assassin, otherwise I am afraid I won't be able to see you." ”
The Governor was joking, the topic was too heavy just now, and he was looking for something to talk about to ease the atmosphere.
"Why do you have to investigate when this son saved you?" said the Governor's wife, who was a little surprised.
The governor snorted coldly: "Maybe it's an envoy? One person has a black face and one white face, to gain my trust, and this son has such a martial arts, I have to guard against it." ”
"I remember, these days in the city is full of rumors of "will enter the wine", it is made by this son, recently the wife of the official eunuch came to visit, all talked about this person, I heard that many young ladies in the family have copied the poems, begging the family to marry this person, I don't want to have such a thing. Du Niang said in surprise.
"This man does have some poetic talents, and he recited a poem tonight, and he was not under the wine, but before he could ask the name of the poem, there were thieves who attacked and killed him, and these thieves were really hateful. ”
The governor took the file and continued to look at it, the file was mostly rumors before Pei Ziyun's examination for Xiucai, and more about it was after Xiucai, these investigations were quite detailed, and there were also things about Pei Ziyun's entry into Taoism.
The governor raised his eyebrows, and this son had already written a book.
This is the book that Fu Juren sent to the bookseller today to engrave and prepare for publication, and according to the bookseller's explanation, it is Pei Ziyun's new work.
The governor took the book and looked at it, he was stunned, read a few chapters carefully, his expression froze, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "This person has written this article, and those who will study universities in the future must have this book." ”
He also said: "The fifteenth middle school Xie Yuan, the teacher said, will enter the wine, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then there is this university note, in the future, not only the province will be famous, but also the world can be a sensation." ”
"It's a pity that I entered the door. ”
But the governor's wife said: "Xianggong, is this a good thing? If this person does not enter the Dao Gate, even if he is a noble husband, it will be difficult to drive this person, and now he can invite his staff." ”
"Why do you want to invite this person, could it be that Madame has heard that he can also be a political or military strategy?" said the governor suspiciously.
"Husband, this son has this talent, and he is young, as long as he uses it, he will be able to help, take a step back and say, seeing that the Xianggong just finished meeting the staff, he dropped the teaglass, I am afraid that the husband is not satisfied with their opinions, and he wants to re-recruit, even if he can't, it will be a thousand dollars. Du Niang said with a smile.
Listening to Du Niang's words, the governor was stunned, reacted, and stretched out his hand to hold his wife: "Then how can you invite the staff?"
"Such a person is unwilling to be a staff member, so I invited him to be a gentleman and give me free time to guide Pan'er. ”
This time, Du Niang was surprised: "Mr. Gift, husband, even if you have the grace of saving your life, is it too high?"
"It's a little higher, but after looking at it, as soon as this university note comes out, even if there are no other works, this person can also raise hope, and after 20 years, he will become a grandmaster, and I can make a good fate, not only with me, but also with my descendants and grandchildren. ”
Hearing her husband say this, Du Niang was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized: "Xianggong, you are really cunning." ”
"Haha"
