Fifty-eighth: Killing
"I've been away for the past few days, what's going on in the celebrant superintendent?" Akiba Bai sat in the carriage, leaning on the armrest of the carriage with her wrist and cheek on the car, looking at the lively scene of the surrounding market, and was in a good mood.
The baby was driving the carriage, and when she asked this, he pouted disapprovingly: "What else, as soon as you entered the palace, there was no news for four days, and I found a punishment to lock up the group of fools in the wind department, so as not to cause trouble." β
Akiba Bai smiled knowingly: "Someone came to the door looking for trouble, didn't he?" β
Locked up inside, I'm afraid I can't stop someone outside from coming to the door to provoke, seeing that the baby is very impatient.
The baby snorted coldly: "Naturally, but those wastes are all small carving skills, and I have sent them away." β
His eyes suddenly fell on the scars on Qiu Yebai's neck and the back of his hands, his eyes were cold, and his big eyes were dyed with a cold murderous aura: "That old woman in the palace can't get along with you, or is there someone else in the palace who is looking for trouble for you?" β
"Old woman, you really dare to say that you are not afraid that the wall has ears, and people will listen to it and punish you." Akiba Bai couldn't help but laugh lowly.
On this day, there are not many people who dare to call the Queen Mother an old woman directly.
The baby snorted contemptuously: "It's an old woman, don't the people in the palace still call her Lafayette, she is always an old man, not to mention that now the celebrant is no longer the brave man he used to be, who still does this bag of inquire." β
He paused, then stared at the scar on Qiu Yebai's neck and continued: "Si Shao hasn't said if the injury on your body was caused by the dead old woman!" β
Qiu Yebai shook his head: "If I say that I didn't see the Queen Mother at all when I entered the palace this time, can you believe it?" β
Ning Chun was stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "Didn't the Queen Mother announce that the master was summoned into the palace, didn't something happen in the middle?" β
The baby looked at her suspiciously.
Autumn leaves sighed lightly: "It's a long story, it's not a good thing after all. β
As soon as she entered the palace, she 'sold' herself, and she always couldn't say anything about it.
"But does it matter?" When the baby saw her appearance, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Si Shao is open-minded and quick-witted, and rarely sees why she is worried.
Autumn leaves shook his head and said lightly, "It's okay." β
Ning Chun and the baby saw that she didn't want to say more, so they didn't ask more.
The baby simply changed the topic: "Yes, I remember that before you entered the palace, Si Shao, you said that you asked the Governor to let us go to investigate the Huainan robbery with the people from the Wind Watching Department and the Wind Catching Department, and now I have sorted out some information, and all the people in the flame group have already rolled out the news channels that can be rolled out." β
Autumn leaves white just received the task of receiving the queen mother's decree, in a hurry, can only hastily assign two tasks to the baby, one is to collect information related to the robbery, the other is to watch the wind department, don't let them get into trouble again.
Now that the baby has been completed very well, and even taking precautions has saved her a lot of trouble, Qiu Yebai is very happy in his heart, and rubs the baby's little face with a smile: "I know that you are a reliable one." β
The baby proudly raised his little chin: "That's nature, is there any reward for the four young people?" β
Qiu Ye pinched his arrogant little face with itchy hands, and chuckled: "Okay, how about rewarding you with two dishes and one soup cooked by Young Master Ben himself?" β
When the baby heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said happily: "Words count!" β
The four young students have excellent skills, but they are lazy by nature, and they are usually not light cooks, so the Tibetan Sword Pavilion is the most proud reward for having to taste the skills of the four young people, and what panacea or martial arts cheats are not in their eyes, this kind of reward can be regarded as the only maverick in the reward measures of the Jianghu sect.
"Naturally, yes!" Autumn leaves looked at the baby's cute little appearance, like a proud kitten, and couldn't help but kiss his big round eyes.
Autumn leaves are just a spoiling act without distractions, but the baby did not expect that Autumn leaves will suddenly kiss him, the soft and slightly moist touch gently fell on the eyelashes, he suddenly stiffened, a little stunned to look at Autumn Leaves Bai's beautiful face, her bright eyes are as bright as the moon at the moment are smiles and gentle light.
Like a pool of soft blue water, almost drowning in it, the baby only felt that his heart was beating slower and slower, as if even time was slowing down at this moment, but he didn't know what to remember, he felt a chill in his heart, and the subtle ripples born in those thoughts dissipated violently, leaving only a bleak gloom.
"What's wrong?" Akiba Bai looked at the young man's somewhat distracted appearance, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
A hint of discoloration flashed in the baby's eyes, and then he suddenly asked, "Si Shao, do you like me?" β
Akiba Bai was stunned for a moment, touched his head and smiled: "My baby is so cute, of course I like it." β
"Isn't that cute...... Yes, the baby is the cutest pet of the four young. The baby grinned and rubbed his face against Akiba's shoulder.
Autumn leaves always felt that the baby's reaction was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, but seeing that he seemed to have regained his usual love and affection, he smiled and rubbed his brain: "Fool, who said you are just a pet......." β
"No, I'm a pet, yours alone!" The baby suddenly turned his face and pulled the sleeves of the autumn leaves, raised his voice, almost sharp, and stared at the autumn leaves with big cat-like eyes, and the tail of the eyes picked out a sharp arc, and his expression seemed to have a trace of hideousness.
Qiu Yebai and Ning Chun, who was sitting in the back compartment, were stunned, she looked at Ning Chun quietly, but saw Ning Chun shaking her head almost invisibly at her, indicating that she didn't know what was wrong with the baby, and it looked normal before.
"Baby, what's wrong with you?" Akiba Bai looked at the young man beside him a little inexplicably, and was puzzled in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I just ......." The baby also seemed to feel his gaffe, and then lowered his eyes and clenched the reins in his hand, but he was a little at a loss and didn't know what to say.
In the end, he still lowered his head and muttered in a soft voice: "People just like to be pets of the four young, and they don't like to be the same as others, can't they?" β
Qiu Yebai was a little helpless and funny, so he reached out and knocked on his brain: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, just don't be so weird and scary." β
The baby guy is a little out of tune on weekdays.,Today I don't know what book I've read.,This time the protagonist is a pet.γ
The baby grimaced, then reached out and pulled the reins, and continued to drive steadily.
It's just that the moment he turned his head, his expression faded, and he quietly watched the scenery passing by the car, with the hot summer wind mixed with the noise of the market passing across his cheeks, and ......
There is also a faint fresh fragrance on the woman next to her.
What's wrong with being the only pet, no matter who the person who will accompany her all her life in the future, he has a position that will not be replaced.
Isn't it?
The carriage gradually moved away, but the scene on the carriage was seen by everyone, and a figure quietly followed the carriage all the way to the yamen of the celebrant and turned around and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
ββLao Tzu is Lao Tzu is the dividing line in the Cuihua Ali squatting on the big kang -
After returning to the Yamen, except for the fact that Autumn Leaf Bai attracted some schadenfreude and whispers when he entered the door to look at the remote courtyard of the Wind Department, it was also calm.
"In addition to my idea of restraining the people in the wind department and preventing people from coming in to make trouble, Zhou Yu also put some effort into Du Qianzong of the wind chasing department, so the situation is quite stable now." When the baby got out of the car, he had already changed his appearance and spread his bones in the carriage again, so now he appeared by Qiu Yebai's side in the face of Jiang Feizhou, walking all the way.
Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zhou Yu, it seems that he is still a little sober." β
"Yes, although the subordinates see that this person spends all his time drinking and acting absurdly, he is not completely without brains and means in private, otherwise Du Qianzong alone may not be able to suppress the excitement of the crowd." The baby whispered.
She listened to the baby's words and sighed a little helplessly.
Yes, the crowd is excited.
The baby had already told her in detail in the carriage about the most important thing that had happened in the past few days, that is, the chief Qin of the Wind Hunting Department was seriously injured.
How can the people of the Wind Hunting Department not be excited?
She pondered for a moment, this Zhou Yu is a descendant of the founding father of the Zhou family, the youngest son of the Marquis of Changting, although the Zhou family is now a hereditary decline in title, and the power is not as good as before, but there is still a lot of status in the court elder faction, this time I think Zhou Yu is using the family power.
It can be seen that he really wants to bail Situ Ning out, although he is not reconciled in private on weekdays, but his heart is not bad.
When Akiba Bai and the baby returned to the wind department, the spectacle of drying their buttocks all over the ground in the courtyard of the door was gone, and most of the people were already able to take medicine on their own, and they all went back to the room.
So this time she entered the council chamber very smoothly.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Zhou Yu was already sitting in the hall again, and now when she saw her come in, she immediately stood up, looked at Qiu Yebai for a while, and said a little dryly: "Big ...... People, a thousand total adults. β
Qiu Yebai looked at Zhou Yu dressed in royal blue with narrow sleeves, a jade belt around his waist, and his hair neatly combed up to make a bun on the top of his head, revealing a handsome face, no longer the usual obscene and prodigal appearance with half-scattered hair, bare chest and back, oily head and powdery face, and was quite satisfied.
She looked Zhou Yun up and down, and smiled sarcastically: "Chief Zhou finally woke up from the gentle township?" β
She hadn't forgotten the information about the specific Huainan robbery from Chapter 063 of JΓ, took it over, and explained it to Qiu Yebai and the others in detail.
The so-called Huainan is to go out of Gyeonggi along the Grand Canal all the way south to the place of Jianghuai, leaving Gyeonggi only three days away, after the canal is opened, most of the capital government and private materials are waterways, which saves time and effort.
Originally, the canal passed through several state capitals along the way, and there would be some local snakes to exploit some, but because this waterway was not only civilian, but also a lot of official use, so the strength of official control was still relatively large.
But in the past two years, I don't know where Huainan doesn't know where some water bandits came out, specializing in robbing homes and houses, out of nowhere, because these water bandits are not big, and they are all robbing some civilian small boats, plus the water potential in Huainan is complex, and it is relatively close to Liangshan, where some green forest characters love to haunt, so the government's investigation is not particularly tight, and occasionally catch one or two thieves to kill, knock and knock those water bandits, and they will have an explanation for the peak and public opinion.
In the past two years, those water bandits have slowly become a force on one side, and the boats that move have slowly changed from small traders to big families in the capital, but they have never moved official ships, so although the government has cracked down harder, it is still painless.
Until recently, those water bandits became more and more bold, and even moved the goods of the Mei family in the capital, the Mei family is an imperial merchant, and all the goods are tribute, and now in addition to things, it is naturally impossible to let the government be as perfunctory as usual, and even the imperial history book bluntly said that the government along the way connived at the water bandits to rob the house As for this, there must be someone colluding with the bandits, and the wolf bèi is a traitor, this matter must be very boring, and the state government and the guerrilla generals along the way can not be investigated, and the officials of the direct agency in the capital need to go down to investigate and supervise.
But this matter is really tricky, it is a mistake to do it badly, and it is not necessarily merit to do it well, so all the yamen in the capital who are related to this matter play Tai Chi, and it finally falls on the head of the celebrant and eunuch.
After all, the celebrant still has the name of supervising and investigating, isn't he?
After listening to the ins and outs of this case, Qiu Yebai was silent for a while, his fingertips tapped on the table for a while, and suddenly looked at Zhou Yu: "Lord Zhou, what do you think?" β
Zhou Yu was stunned, he had not learned for many years, and no one had asked his opinion on such a serious matter.
But since Akiba Bai asked, he thought for a while and said, "I thought, this is a little strange. β
When the baby heard this, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and looked at him contemptuously: "Oh, Brother Zhou thinks something is strange?" β
What can this uneducated and unskilled gentleman see that he is questioning his intelligence gathering?
Zhou Yu didn't notice that the baby's expression was wrong, but he just touched a string of beads on his wrist, and said hesitantly: "This Mei family is an imperial businessman, the world knows it, and the backstage of the Mei family is actually the Du family, and our master of ceremonies is also a force in the hands of the queen mother, if this matter is the Mei family to investigate to the end, then it should not be known to everyone, but to report to the queen mother, let other yamen take over, and the master of ceremonies will take over in private, after all, this matter is not done well, at least it is a crime of poor investigation!" β
The baby was stunned, there was really something here that he didn't find, he frowned and said: "The backstage of the Mei family is the Du family, are you really sure?" β
Zhou Yu nodded, looked at Qiu Yebai and the baby very firmly and said, "That's right, not many people know about this, I still have a ...... with my brother-in-law Belch...... Du Qian went to the flower building when I accidentally found it, at that time I originally ordered a girl to go into the room to rest, but then I drank too much and my stomach was really uncomfortable, so I went out to the garden and vomited, and then when I was outside, I heard that Du Qian was meeting with the housekeeper of the Mei family, and I knew about it."
Hearing this, Qiu Yebai pondered for a moment, if Zhou Yu's information was not wrong, then this matter was a little strange, after all, now the master of ceremonies is no longer in the heyday of the rampant world, and this charge of ineffective investigation has fallen into the hands of the opponent of the court of the master of ceremonies, and it will definitely be severely suppressed.
Don't talk about others, that is, Baili Chu will not let the celebrant have good fruit to eat in the first place, this batch of red power was originally in the hands of the first palm seal eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and now it has fallen into the hands of Baili Chu, he grabbed the major political affairs, the queen mother was set aside, and he could only do a little trick on the side of the matter, and he must have hated it in his heart.
So how could the Queen Mother lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot?
"Could it be that the water bandit case is a raft specially made by someone, just to deal with the queen mother, if so, this case will be tricky, and it will be difficult to investigate it or not, no wonder the governor threw this case out as an introduction, I am afraid that he wants to use our wind department as a culprit when the time comes!" The baby snorted coldly.
Give up an insignificant Ministry of Wind to take the charge of ineffective investigation, and then save the entire celebrant supervisor.
Autumn leaves frowned slightly, the baby's speculation was the last thing she wanted to see, that is, whether it was the enemy or her own people, they all made their own games, each with malicious intentions, and they saw that the wind was attacked by the enemy, and it was a sacrifice that had already been selected to be pushed out.
If this is the case, then the Ministry of Wind will definitely not be able to be dismissed, and there will definitely be people who will be questioned and imprisoned for the unfavorable investigation of the case.
And it seems that she, the newly appointed Qian Zong, is the scapegoat that has been set up within the times, if the enemies of the Du family set up this bureau to attack the Du family, then they will definitely not allow just a crime of co-investigation and deprivation of official positions on the head of her and the Ministry of Watching the Wind and pull them down after a year or two.
Since the other party wants to use her to attack the Du family, maybe he will plant bribes on her head again to cover up the crime of water bandits, and sentence her to be sentenced to a summary execution, in order to try to pull the Du family into the water.
Since she and the Wind Watching Department are established outcasts, the Master of Ceremonies and the people of the Du family will definitely throw her and the Wind Watching Department cleanly.
Obviously, not only Qiu Yebai and Baobao thought of this result, but also Zhou Yu thought of this result, which was an out-and-out killing.
Everyone's faces were instantly ugly, and the air in the room sank.
