Chapter 123: Each Table, One Branch
In the five days that the Yang Party has collected evidence of the Ma Group's crimes, many people's lives have been much better than before, and some people have been much worse than before.
Du Ling Chang Wang Wen, Ma Yue sent someone to inquire about his character, six years in office is nothing more than greedy for some small money, big money one dare not touch, there is no other reason, Jing Zhaogong Cao Du Ji is a local, he can't do too much. However, it is worth mentioning that he has a disgraceful thing that was known to the rangers under Bao, that is, when Fan Ling took office as Jingzhao Yin, he dug Fan Gong Canal to levy labor, and Yang Dang took away part of the labor money allocated by the imperial court in order to give his father-in-law Guo Sheng's longevity.
The person who was sent to Duling is also very special, he is the former river bandit, the second leader of the Jinfan thief, Peng Shi. It is clearly written in the book that Wang Wen is not very bold, and it is the best policy to scare him.
Before Peng Shi came, he looked for five or six little brothers who dared to kill people with knives, and on the second night, he touched the courtyard wall and turned it in, inside and out. Then he pretended to be a Duling common man from morning to night, and hung behind Wang Wen's buttocks. He couldn't help it, Ma Yue gave a death order in the book, he must do it on the fifth day after leaving Chang'an, and he must return to Chang'an before the seventh day...... To be honest, it's quite torturous.
Seeing that in the early morning of the fifth day, just after the watch, Wang Wen's house, Peng Shi ran up to the big tree directly opposite the house with a bow and arrow on his back, took out a letter full of handwriting from his bosom, tied it to the arrow, drew the bow, and nailed it into the window that emitted a faint light.
Wang Wen just changed his clothes in the house, and complained to his wife, "Alas, you said that this Jing Zhaoyin is too, and the old man also went to greet him when he took office, so there is nothing for us to invite a banquet, that is Jing Zhaoyin, tsk, to be able to climb a little relationship......"
As soon as the buttocks were placed on the edge of the couch and they had not yet sat down, they suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and suddenly the window paper was pierced with a big hole, and a feather arrow was tied to the letter paper and nailed to the case containing the lamp, which was only three steps away from Wang Wen.
Looking at the white feathers of the arrow tail that swayed by itself, Wang Wen and the others were so frightened that they sat on the ground and fell on their buttocks, and immediately shouted: "Someone!" ”
Even the lady lying on the bed was startled and screamed, stretched out her hand and pointed at the arrow nailed to the table, and said tremblingly: "Arrow, there is a letter on the arrow!" ”
Wang Wen tiptoed to the window and showed half of his face to look out, and the strong men in the house hurriedly ran over when they heard the shout, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Search, see if there are suspicious people in the house!"
"No!"
Then, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the house, and it took a moment before it quieted down, and the strong man came to report that he had found nothing, so Wang Wen sat down weakly on the ground, pointed to the arrow and said, "Here, pull it out for me." ”
This arrow scared him.
Tremblingly took the letter handed over, but at first glance he was shocked, and hurriedly turned his face away and drank to his wife: "Don't look, go to the couch and rest!" ”
He looked left and right again before he dared to open the letter completely, which showed how Yang Dang coerced and lured him to help him enrich himself from the commission of labor, and how he presented Guo Sheng as a congratulatory gift for his 50th birthday, and finally stamped with Jing Zhaoyin's big seal, leaving a blank space for his signature and pledge.
Wang Wen's mind was clouded......
However, he made a decision, and immediately opened the door and sent his family to Jing Zhaoyin on a horse with his token, and passed the news to the Yang Party tonight, however, ...... As soon as the family led the horse out of the house, before he had time to get on the horse, there was a "boom" sound in the distance, and an arrow was nailed to the horse's head, and the horse was too late to raise its hooves, so he immediately fell down and pressed the family to the ground.
was so frightened that Wang Wen didn't even dare to save people, so he hurriedly asked someone to close the door of the house and go back.
"I'm signing...... Or not? ”
……
Jingzhao Mansion, the banquet is in full swing, Ma Yue and Yang Dang are chatting with Zhenghuan, pouring a few glasses of wine on Yang Dang, the two of them are talking with their tongues, but Ma Yue obviously smells a different breath, this Yang Dang knows his past very well, I am afraid that as Cheng Fuzi said, he has secretly done some things, and he has some self-righteous handles in his hands.
Sure enough, the method set by Master Cheng is right, the first strike is the strongest!
That's fine, since Yang Dang already thinks that he has won, then he will admit defeat.
Ma Yue felt that the timing was about the same, and sat down with Yang Dang with the wine bottle, raised his glass and said: "Ma Yue was disrespectful to Brother Yang before, and he didn't know many things, no, some time ago, Mr. and Guo Changshou both repaired the book Pegasus and sent Jingzhao, and I also felt that there were indeed some things to do without some consideration, and after the persuasion of Chang Shi, I decided not to do anything wrong, and today's banquet for Brother Yang also hopes that we can work together, why be hostile to each other?" ”
"The father-in-law actually gave you a book to advise, oops, the father-in-law is straightforward and fast-talking, I'm afraid it doesn't speak very well, haha, joking ear, Ma Jingzhao, don't mind." Yang Dang drank all the wine in one gulp, squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Yue and said with a smile: "Why is the prince so polite to Yang today, it's not necessary, it's just ...... You are in Jing Zhaoyin, and your heart is always carrying out your life, alas. ”
"Haha." Ma Yue pretended to smile heartily and said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I'm also preparing to go back to Luoyang, just send Mr. to give me an official position, when the time comes, you will still be Chang'an, we will go back to the past, right." ”
"You want to go back to Luoyang?" Yang Dang was happy, took Ma Yue's arm and asked, "When?" Why don't you write a letter to your father-in-law and say a few good words for you? ”
A few beautiful words, it's strange not to give Lao Tzu to death.
Ma Yue snorted haha, after talking nonsense all night, he also felt weird tired, I don't know if Yang Dang also felt this way, and gently got rid of Yang Dang's arm, Ma Yue picked up the wine bottle and smiled at Cheng Li, who was chatting with Du Ji: "Master, why don't you ask Xiao Wu to dance?" ”
Cheng Li smiled and clapped his hands, this is the code they have already set, Ma Yue said this sentence to show that they were almost talking, and hurriedly clapped his hands, Cheng Wu, who was dressed in armor and holding a sword and shield in the inner room, strode into the hall, carrying the shield ring knife and knocking on the shield with a "bang", followed by various technical movements.
During the banquet, I suddenly saw only the tacit smiles of a few people.
……
Xinfeng.
"Bang!"
A group of murderers kicked through the door of the little official surnamed Chen, and several masked rangers rushed in.
In the night, the little official who rolled down from the bed saw the face of the big man, stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly: "Bao, Fourth Master Bao, this, why are you so aggressive?" ”
Bao Chu tilted his head and walked around the room as if he were walking closer, took out the flint from the corner of the wall, lit the lamp and candle, sat on the couch and took out a letter from his arms, and pressed it in front of the little official with a wave of his big hand.
The little official found out that it was Bao out at this time, and he was not so scared at first, Bao Chu was very famous in Xinfeng, but he had never heard of indiscriminate killing of innocents or anything like that, so the little official understood that there was a big event coming over today, but it was not to take his own life. Got up and picked up the letter and looked at it by the candlelight, the little official couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and looked at Bao Chu carefully, "This ......"
"Look at the bottom, Jingzhao Great Seal...... Is there any nonsense written on this? ”
The little official shook his head, this is indeed the truth, but his mother is all evidence of Yang's crime, where does he dare to sign? I had to look at Bao Chu helplessly, and Bao Chu was impatient.
patted him on the shoulder, Bao Chu sighed, this is the sixth county official today, all of them are afraid of this and that, it is not easy to kick the door and startle, sigh, Bao Chu said softly: "Which one is bigger, Jing Zhaoyin or Yang?" The Yang Party is dead, sign it. ”
After a while, Bao Chu walked out of the door, took the letter into his arms, and casually pointed to a brother and said, "Fill the door for the Chen brothers tomorrow." ”
"No."
Tilting his head, Bao Chu looked to the west, where was the location of the Cheng family house in Xinfeng County.
"Come with me."
……
Baling Ling Han Yan's mansion was in the season when the night breeze was blowing, and the vines in the courtyard were bearing small green grapes, which were green and dripping.
"There are fruit trees from the Western Regions in the Han County Order's mansion, which is really elegant."
The waiters held the plates with snacks and placed them in front of Pei Hui, who stared intently at the warm wine on the stove and watched the green grapes in the wine spin in circles. The cool breeze of the summer night blew, Han Yan shivered, hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, exposed his uneasiness, and said respectfully: "Pei Gongzi, don't be embarrassed, compared to you, where is it a gentleman...... You're only talking about Fengyue, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being a guest, right? ”
Pei Hui smiled, waved his hand, took a deep sip of the vague aroma of wine, and suddenly looked at Han Yan and asked, "Are you from Chang'an Ling?" ”
"Huh?" Han Yan froze with a smirk on his face, not knowing what to say.
"It doesn't matter, you don't mind if you're here or not, what you've done, I won't tell you to complain, you don't have to be so afraid." Pei Hui beckoned, "Today's passing through the mansion is just a moment of chatting, isn't it a joy in life to warm a pot of wine on a midsummer night?" ”
Believe in you to have a ghost! Han Yan didn't dare to say anything, but he was afraid of this Pei Hui in his heart, the reputation of several sons of the Pei family was very famous among the scholars, this was not terrible, what was terrible was that their father was the secretary of the dynasty...... One sentence is wrong, he was evaluated this year, not to mention that he didn't know Pei Hui in the first place, and he suddenly sent a famous assassin today, how could it not be scary?
Pei Hui shook his head, poured a glass of wine to himself, played with the wine bottle and said: "Then let me tell you, Ma Jingzhao's wife is the younger sister, and at this time, she will be added as a waiter in the Jingzhao Mansion, and she will act impartially, and I was ordered to ask you something, Yang Dang is finished, you ...... Is it finished with him, or will you talk about it next? ”
Han Yan's face was sweating like rain, but Pei Hui's smile became more and more vigorous.
