Chapter 101
Knowing that the emperor had a prince who had left behind the people, it started when he decided to openly start opposing Fu Jiu, that is, after he was newly married. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The people who knew about this matter back then were basically executed secretly, and he only learned about this matter by chance when he was investigating Fu Jiu's sphere of influence, but because none of the people who knew about it were people who had come into contact with it in person, the credibility of this matter also needs to be verified.
Although he didn't meet him in the stone cave at that time, Qiao Yushu was there, and with that kind of appearance, it was completely possible to guess that he was the one who robbed Fu Jiayue that day.
It's not so much that he's challenging his bottom line, it's that he's forcing a clear choice.
He was not in a hurry, he walked slowly along the way, and the carriage he was riding in was only moving at the usual speed.
When Xie Bai arrived at the mansion, there were already onlookers at the door.
Seeing the arrival of Xie Fu's carriage, everyone retreated to a path and waited respectfully for him to walk.
Xie Bai walked by here, as if with a chill, instantly drowned out the noisy surroundings just now, and all that was left was a small whisper.
Although they also knew that the people who bought this mansion were by no means idle, they would not have thought that they would have anything to do with the Xie Mansion of the three major families in the capital.
Now seeing that the scene is getting more and more exciting, I will continue to watch with pleasure, chatting more carefully than just now.
Suddenly, a person rushed out of the crowd, and immediately knelt down at Xie Bai's feet, kneeling forward and saying, "You are the owner of this mansion, right? My brother entered your mansion a few days ago, but there has been no news until now...... Oops, the government is beating people...... Oops, beating people...... Hey......"
Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by the little guy behind him and punched several times.
At one time, another person ran out of the crowd, crying and shouting: "Is there any royal law in this Fu Dynasty? Even if you are from Xie Mansion, what if you take our younger brother hostage, that is to make trouble with the emperor, it is all justified, oops......"
The small servants waiting on the side went out almost at the same time, and the crowd was suddenly in a mess, and many of the ruffians mixed in it were all caught by the nest, and the onlookers were even more frightened and immediately ran away, for fear that they would be caught by mistake and go to prison for a few days in vain.
Hearing the commotion outside, Fu Jiayue and Peony, who were dealing with matters in the house, also came out.
Seeing Xie Bai's arrival, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
Walking forward, Fu Jiayue asked, "Why are you here?"
But before Xie Bai could answer, they only heard a loud laugh not far away, and the three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see Fu Jiu walking towards them: "Coincidentally, the little sister and the concubine Xie San are here." I heard that this mansion gathers many famous people in the capital today, and I want to come and see one or two, but now it seems to be true. ”
When he got closer, Peony saluted Fu Ji and said, "The eldest prince." ”
After a long time, Xie Bai and the others moved, and the smile in Fu Jiu's eyes increased, and he turned his head to look like a peony and said, "You are the Oiran Peony who was originally in the Drunken Immortal Building, right?"
Peony chin head: "It's the people's girl." ”
After looking her up and down a few times, Fu Jiu sighed as if regretfully and said: "Obviously it's still the red card that is attracting attention in the Drunken Immortal Building, but now it's redeemed halfway, but isn't it a pity?
Peony is the eyeliner that the emperor planted in the capital before, and Fu Jiu is the most suitable candidate for the prince, he knows that she is not strange.
Peony smiled: "It's just a person who is trapped in the red dust, so why don't you just say it?"
Xie Bai and the others were left aside as if they didn't exist, but Fu Jiayue answered first: "It's a coincidence that Brother Jiu came, it was just that the two of us wanted to see who ate the dog's gall and actually hit my idea." Now that you are here to support us, it will not be a problem to give the behind-the-scenes instructions to the corpses. ”
In particular, the "broken corpses" have been bitten heavy.
Fu Ji turned his head to look at her with interest, then looked at Xie Bai, who was still pale on the side, and chuckled: "Little sister is looking down on your husband." ”
Xie Bai also chuckled: "What did Lao Jiu say to do with them?"
As he spoke, he motioned Fu Ji to look at the dozens of people who were already tied up into zongzi on the side.
Fu Jiu said: "If you dare to offend Xie Fu, it will definitely be a pity to die." The master of the Xie family and you are both important ministers of the imperial court, this is like provoking the majesty of the royal family, and they will be punished the heaviest, Xie San understands it best, doesn't he?"
Xie Bai said: "The hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, if they are only punished, how can they know that their descendants or relatives will not stab you in the future? ”
Fu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Interesting, but this is different from the Xie San I saw in the past! At the beginning, he single-handedly solved the flood problem that had plagued the imperial court for a month, and found out countless corrupt people involved in it, but he had never heard of such remarks." Now, after getting married, I have reined in, haven't I been tamed by my fierce little sister?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Fu Jiayue, who was already a little unkind on the side.
Xie Bai smiled: "It's a pity, it's still difficult to uproot, I'm afraid it will take some more time." ”
Fu Jiu was surprised: "I have disposed of so many people, but they are still not uprooted? Then I will wait and see, the old stubborns in this court have been in the court for a long time, and it is time for a big change." ”
His face was full of smiling and provocative expressions.
Xie Bai said: "I'll wait and see, whose blood will be exchanged in the end." ”
Fu Jiu said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the group of people who have the ability to shake everything, but they are just a group of people who are not self-sufficient. ”
Xie Bai said: "Well, I think the same way. ”
Obviously, the words are all smiling, but when the two look at each other, there is obviously a cold light in their eyes, but this cold light is extremely subtle, buried in these words, it seems so insignificant.
Fu Jiu smiled more and more: "Haha, every time I talk to you, I feel comfortable, unlike others who need me to explain again and again to understand." However, Xie San is Xie San, not only in an important position in the imperial court, but also the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, the first auction venue in the capital, and now he has also bought the house he auctioned. There are countless private transactions, but Xie San's body is boneless, but can he be busy?"
Since he allowed Fu Jiayue to auction this mansion, Xie Bai never thought that he could hide it from Fu Jiu.
Over the years, Jianbao Pavilion has given Fu Ji a lot of money, intending to weaken his secretly growing power.
It was when he decided to support Fu Jiu that Xie Bai deliberately kept this hand to prevent future troubles.
When he was in Tianyin Temple that day, his illness could not be hidden.
Xie Bai said with a smile: "This is something that Lao Jiu doesn't worry about, I'm a hard person, I'm afraid I can't die easily." It's just that Lao Jiuyuan also wanted to buy this mansion that day, but what did he want?"
Fu Jiu said: "Naturally, I want to see who the boss behind this treasure pavilion is, and I want to visit one or two." Now, he is a close friend who has known each other for decades, and he should really blame himself, but he didn't expect that in addition to Xie San's ability in this capital, how can he find a second person?"
Everything is taken for granted, as if what they say is nothing more than mundane things.
Xie Bai played with the wrench in his hand and said, "I see." Lao Jiu should have asked me earlier, but with the relationship between the two of us, I must know everything and say everything. ”
Fu Ji smiled: "Hahaha, I'm stupid." ”
There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
The interests are no longer there, and there is no need to be in each other's company anymore.
The words are not speculative, but for the two who have known each other for more than ten years, they will never exist.
But what if we can talk for three more days and three nights?
Fu Ji hugged his fists and said: "Since the trivial matters encountered by Third Brother Xie have been dealt with clearly, I won't bother more, but before leaving, I want to give the word Third Brother Xie, and it will decline." ”
Xie Bai replied: "I will also send this word back to you." ”
"Mowu, send off!"
"No need, I didn't bring many people with me on my trip today, and I haven't walked around the capital for a long time, so I still want to go shopping while I'm free." ”
"Walk slowly!"
Fu Jiu smiled and disappeared around the corner, the three of them glanced at each other, and without saying anything, they all walked towards the courtyard.
Let's say that Fu Jiayue thought that Qiao Yushu was the one who competed with her for the house that day, but since she married into the Xie Mansion and knew that Lu Tiance was Xie Bai's junior brother, everything was clear.
Lu Tiance has no possibility of being in the same camp as Qiao Yushu, so there is only one possibility, there is just a transaction between the three of them, and the most direct purpose is to keep her in the dark.
However, she didn't care if she was kept in the dark, she couldn't hinder herself after all, and she wasn't interested in knowing that they were tired before, and she also turned a blind eye.
So, between the two, it was as if they hadn't heard what Fu Jiu said, and they tacitly agreed.
If you don't ask, I won't answer, and I will go back to the house in a carriage without saying a word.
Autumn is a restless season, and although it is not as hot as summer, it is the most joyful or chaotic heart.
Every time before the autumn harvest, a hunting party would be held in the suburbs of the court to celebrate the upcoming harvest. The participants were all people in the court, and there were also concubines who were valued by the emperor and empress, and naturally there were relatives of the ministers.
And the people, though they did not have access to this grand hunt, would spontaneously prevent similar activities in order to express their indescribable joy in their hearts. Although it was not as grand and eye-catching as it was in the court, it also made them happy.
From the important ministers of the court to the petty officials of sesame mung beans, almost all of them were sent invitations.
The person invited was the emperor, and even though many elderly ministers were unable to attend at the turn of the seasons, they would try their best to come, and even if they were poor, they would call their children and grandchildren to come instead of them.
Naturally, Xie Fu was naturally within the scope of the invitation.
At the end of the hunting meeting, someone will come to count the number of prey caught by all the young adults participating in the competition. The final winner will be rewarded by the emperor himself. The reward is different from year to year, and although it is not very valuable, it is intended to be a good omen, saying that the second half of the year is full of good fortune, which is what many people want to strive for.
This year's hunting was also held as scheduled, although the weather was not beautiful, there was a light rain earlier, and the mountain roads were a little slippery, but fortunately, because of the dry autumn wind, it did not rain for long, and everyone's interest did not fade.
There are dozens of royal forest troops in the front to open the way, and behind them are the queen and the emperor, and the eunuchs and maids on the side are supporting the two of them, and the maids are holding a large umbrella, and there is no possibility of wrestling due to the slippery road.
About a meter away from the two of them is Han Guifei and the second prince Fu Ke, both of whom are surrounded by many maids and eunuchs.
Behind is Fu Ji, because Fu Jiayue got married, he can be regarded as a person from Xie Mansion, and he is not following in the name of the princess as in previous years, so he is included in the row of courtiers with Xie Bai.
The chosen place was a certain distance from the foot of the mountain, and it took everyone about forty-one hours to reach the destination.
The destination is a rare flat land halfway up the mountain, where palace maids and eunuchs have already come to set the scene, and when everyone goes up, they all have their own seats.
The banquet was filled with melons, fruits, snacks and the like, which were convenient for middle-aged and elderly officials to eat when the young people were hunting.
The hedge held a delicate food box and said, "Princess, this is the walnut crisp sent by Zhao Gongzi." ”
Fu Jiayue's gaze was resting on the ministers in the banquet at the moment, tasting the small wine room, and she didn't have much appetite, so she only waved her hand and said, "Well, put it down." ”
The hedge suddenly wrinkled his bitter gourd face again, and handed the food box a little closer with a begging tone, and said, "Princess, don't you want to taste it?"
The Zhao family was very strict with Zhao Mingyu this time, saying that the old man of the Zhao family could no longer bear his only son's uninhibited debauchery, doing nothing all day, eating and drinking, this Zhao Mingyu had just returned from the military camp training, but after a few days of hard work, seeing that he was still looking for fun everywhere as before, and he didn't have a serious appearance, he immediately found another reason and sent him back to the barracks. Even this hunting meeting was not allowed for him to participate.
It's that he is in this situation, and he doesn't forget to send her his favorite snacks, but he really has a heart.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, pinched a piece of walnut crisp and stuffed it into my mouth, the temperature was just right, it melted in the mouth, it was very crispy, and then I looked at the packaging, and it looked like it was made by the chef.
However, there was no hunger in his stomach, and after eating a piece, he was a little uplifted, so he stopped eating more, and moved his eyes to the banquet again.
At the moment, there was a discussion about the possible candidates for this year's hunting competition, since most of them were elderly officials who liked to talk about this, in fact, they just wanted to save face for their son, and by the way, let themselves enjoy a flattery and be happy.
