Dongchang Fanzi responded to arrest people, and just after arresting a few, the other officials actually cried and shouted at the palace, and they were about to make a fuss, so at this moment, they heard a low shout: "Stop!" The voice was not loud, but it exuded an indescribable majesty.

Cao Jixiang was startled, turned his head to look, and saw a slender official standing in front of the noon gate, wearing a red official uniform under the scorching sun, dazzling.

"Shousuke-sama—?" Cao Jixiang shouted and hurriedly greeted him.

Everyone was making a fuss, listening to this shout, and then looking at the person outside the noon gate, they were suddenly overjoyed, and shouted one after another: "Lord Yang......?" ”

Yang Shiqi strode over, looking at the unpleasant face of the speechman, now the situation has become so passive, in the final analysis, it is all these officials who are bad, how can there be any good face at this time, he glared at the leader of the speech, and then said to Cao Jixiang: "Father-in-law Cao, what are you doing?" “

"Hmph, this old fox won't be able to see it, of course he was ordered to arrest people?" Cao Jixiang muttered to himself, of course, he also knew that he would say it in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of today's pavilion elders, not to mention that they were old ministers of the three dynasties, even this status was far from the same, how dare he have the slightest neglect, and hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the pavilion boss, isn't it that your lords are making too much trouble, the emperor asked our family to invite them back, but you look at them one by one digging like donkeys, no matter how our family persuades them, they refuse to go back, and they are still crying here, The emperor is reviewing the folds, you said that the adults are making trouble here, aren't you licking the emperor to lick the gamble, our family has just moved roughly, and now the old man is here, your old man is highly respected, you quickly tell me, let them go back early, such a little thing, it's not good to love it if it goes on like this! “

Although Yang Shiqi doesn't have a good impression of eunuchs, but the words of Cao Jixiang in front of him are still very reasonable, the emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, and these officials have already made trouble twice at noon, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor is still merciful, and there will be good fruits to eat, but these officials don't know what to do, they make a lot of noise, and the emperor is worried about being bullied by civil officials, so it's good, and he directly pushed the emperor to the eunuchs? He was annoyed and annoyed, he didn't dare to say anything, these officials moved when they heard the wind, and even the emperor dared to scold him on weekdays, so he would put his own pavilion old man in his eyes, so he just nodded at Cao Jixiang and said: "Father-in-law Cao, rest assured, the old man is here to solve this matter, and please ask the father-in-law to raise his noble hand and let them go, otherwise it will make a fuss, anger the emperor, and the father-in-law will not be able to eat and walk around, right?" ”

Cao Jixiang thought about it carefully, it was true that the emperor let him arrest people, but these officials seemed to be weak, and it was troublesome to arrest them, and there were still a lot of people, in case something happened, the emperor would not be able to deal with him anywhere, so he hummed and said: "Since the pavilion boss has spoken, how can our family be so uninteresting, I must let this person go, but the pavilion elder must let them leave, otherwise our family will not be able to pay the difference!" ”

Yang Shiqi nodded and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will never embarrass you!" ”

Cao Jixiang nodded and said, "That's the best!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and those Dongchang fans immediately let go of the arrested officials, and a few bold officials also gave a few vicious glances in return, and scolded in a low voice: "Dead eunuchs, stinky eunuchs, look like people, look like human faces, don't listen to human voices, and don't get close to human feelings." This is a bit poisonous, that is, to scold the eunuch for being bloated and crooked, as if he had a gall, and his nose whirring, like a cow and a pig, and therefore not like a human body; They have the cheekbones of a man but they are not men, they have no beard but they are not women, and although their faces are like jade, they are not angry at all, so they are not like human faces; Their voice is as childish but not crisp as a child, as shrill but not feminine as a woman, you say it is hoarse but it can make a sound, you say it is like an orangutan but can speak to adults, so it does not sound like a human voice; They can love people very much, they can also poison people, and when they pity you, they will weep, and when they hate you, they will kill like grass, so they are not like human feelings. As soon as these words came out, not only Cao Jixiang's face was full of anger, but more than 20 Dongchang fans also showed anger on their faces, Yang Shiqi shook his head secretly, it is not unreasonable for the officials to be annoying, they have always regarded themselves as a clear stream, they move on to everything, and they carry out impeachment.

These officials are used to showing off their martial arts on weekdays, where can they be insulted like this, and it is not enough to scold a few times, and another official smiled and said: "Lord Wang, I have a couplet, how about giving you a pair?" “

The official named Lord Wang rubbed his feet that were a little numb, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, just say it?" ”

That Lord Liu rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "My Shanglian is Xiao Hanlin, wearing winter clothes and holding a summer fan, can I read a spring and autumn film?" ”

As soon as this couplet came out, the king laughed and said, "Good couplet, I was born in the south and came to the north to the old eunuch, is that thing still there?" As soon as the words fell, there was immediately a burst of laughter, and everyone applauded.

Cao Jixiang's face changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at a few officials and said, "You, you, you are too much!" Look at it, Lord Ge! ”

Yang Shiqi was about to speak, when he heard a person at this time: "Princess, our family also had a union yesterday, would it be good for you to listen to it?" ”

Everyone laughed loudly, and they looked at the voices one after another, but they saw two eunuchs walking in front of them, the first one had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the bridge of the nose was high. The other person was of medium stature, with a round face and light eyebrows, and a pair of triangular eyes looking at everyone, revealing a little contempt, and the two walked slowly.

As soon as Cao Jixiang saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them, hugged his fists and said, "Gonggong Chen, Gonggong Wang, why are you here!" ”

These two people are none other than Chen Wu and Wang Zhen, but Chen Wu ignored Cao Jixiang's greetings, but looked at Wang Zhen with a smile.

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Gonggong Chen, please speak!" ”

Chen Wu said: "You listened to me, this link is a praying arm blocking the car, the violent tiger is relying on the river, how can the husband be brave?" ”

Everyone was shocked, this Shanglian also had a bit of momentum, they always thought that the eunuch was illiterate, and suddenly heard such an imposing pair, they couldn't help but feel a little incredible.

I only heard Wang Zhen laugh and said: "This pair is also simple, the slave and the maid are against the ants along the acacia, the grasshopper shakes the tree, and the fool claims to be a man in vain." What does my father-in-law think? ”

Chen Wu thought for a while and nodded again and again: "Okay, that's right!" ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "My father-in-law has won the award!" ”

Chen Wu glanced at Cao Jixiang at this time and said, "Isn't Jixiang a couple?" ”

Cao Jixiang understood at this time, and his feelings were to scold the literati, and said with a smile: "The slave thinks that the two fathers-in-law have forgotten me, since the two fathers-in-law have asked for this, the slave and the maid will also give it a try?" After speaking, he scratched his head and made a gesture, and said loudly: "I'm right, cicadas don't know snow, ants have ambitions, when will the villain retire, I don't know if the two fathers-in-law can be satisfied?" “

The officials are not stupid, where can not hear the implicit meaning of this couplet, the upper couplet with a mantis arm to block the car, it is an allusion, saying that in the Spring and Autumn Period, once the Duke of Qi Zhuang took a carriage to hunt. The carriage was moving forward, and as he walked, he noticed a small insect on the road rushing towards the wheels, and saw it dancing its two front legs angrily, as if waving two large knives, blocking the wheels.

When Qi Zhuang Gong saw such a small insect, he dared to fight against a wheel many times larger than its body. He immediately ordered the driver to stop the car. Then he asked, "What kind of worm is this, with such guts?" ”

The coachman replied, "This is a praying mantis, and this little insect only knows how to rush forward, not backward." It doesn't measure how much power it really has at all. You see, the vehicle was so close that it was immediately run over, but it still stood still and did not let the vehicle move forward. It tends to despise its opponents and really doesn't know what it can do. And Wang Zhen's lower couplet is the same, and the third couplet is an allusion to shallow people, who get a little knowledge and a little learning, and there is no one in their eyes! You villains, why don't you disappear in front of us soon? It was an excellent counterattack to their angry scolding just now, and the officials were both shocked and angry in their hearts, but you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke.

Cao Jixiang looked at Chen Wu and Wang Zhendeng when he found the backbone, and asked in surprise: "Two fathers-in-law, it's good for you to come, the villain doesn't know what to do?" ”

Chen Wu hummed, indicating that he knew, and then walked up to Yang Shiqi and saluted: "Old ...... Ge?" “

Yang Shiqi also returned the salute, the two have been in Nanjing for several months, and the relationship is very good, and it is not polite at this time, Chen Wu said in a low voice: "The emperor is already a little angry, these are too troublesome, Lord Yang, you see?" “

Yang Shiqi said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Chen, don't worry, the old man is here to persuade them to quit, but it is better to ask the father-in-law to step aside temporarily, otherwise the old man is not easy to persuade?" “

Chen Wu said dissatisfiedly: "Does the Pavilion Elder also think that our eunuchs are terrible? “

Yang Shiqi has a bad feeling for eunuchs, but he can't talk about how bad it is, and he smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this: "Gonggong Chen said that he was joking, you and I have been in Nanjing for several months, and we have been in the same boat, why do you still say such things?" “

Chen Wu's impression of Yang Shiqi is not bad, the old city is stable, it is rare that he still has a loyal and patriotic heart, and nodded when he heard the words: "Since the elder said so, then our family will retreat?" “

Yang Shiqi said: "Thank you for your father-in-law's understanding?" “
