Chapter 862: A Trip to Xi'an (1)

After a long journey, Bing'er Xue'er and her group of six people came to an inn in Xi'an to settle down and wait for the court officials mentioned by the master. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because Bing'er Xue'er has no goods in her hands, so she doesn't need to make money here. They still have a lot of silver in their hands, and they are going to buy a little souvenir here and bring it back to the capital to share it with the people in the house, and sell it if they can't use it up.

After visiting the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Huaqing Pond and the joint burial mausoleum of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian in Xi'an, we visited the mysterious 41 statues of King Bin, the wordless tablet, and visited the Famen Temple, which is famous for its Buddha bone relics. Then I visited the tomb of Yang Guifei, the tomb of Princess Yongtai, and then the forest of steles, the City God Temple, the bell tower, and the drum tower. Then there is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Han Kiln, Qujiang, Furong Garden, is preparing to visit Huashan 240 miles away from Xi'an, and then buy some characteristic souvenirs of Xi'an, such as stele stone painted clay sculptures, thick wine, Qiong pot sugar, imitation Tang Sancai, paper-cutting, Lintong pomegranate, willow weaving, flower buns, celadon ware, Sanyuan knotweed candy, red dates, rattan weaving, Xifeng wine, kiwifruit, chestnut, Shangluo walnut, Lantian jade and so on. Just when they were buying these things, they ran into Zhou Peigong, whom they knew. He came to Xi'an as a messenger, and someone impeached the Xi'an prefect for corruption and bribery, and asked Zhou Peigong to come to Xi'an to investigate the case. The official who came with him was actually Yu Shi Maping, the left deputy capital of the Supervision Yuan. Bing'er didn't quite understand why the emperor wanted to follow him to investigate the case? He is just a small forehead, and he doesn't even have any official position. In the past, the princess's husband had a fictitious title, called "Captain of the Horse". If you don't have any power, you're just a soft eater. Although he eats soft rice, he also has the title of "Du Lieutenant", but Bing'er is a juggling actor, and he is a monkey as Ao Bai said.

Zhou Peigong already admired Lord Elu so much that he threw himself to the ground. He knew from the emperor's mouth that in the past two years, the princess and the princess had been doing business under Wu Sangui's nose, and the gems of Nepal, the spices of India, and the medicinal materials of Yunnan were all transported back to the capital in large quantities, and enough silver and food were prepared for the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and a large amount of rice, cotton cloth, and cotton were bought back from India for the soldiers who participated in the withdrawal campaign. When Henan was flooded, the silver provided by the imperial court for disaster relief was also earned by the princess and her forehead pouring preserved fruits and tea leaves from Yunnan, and the corn fur straw shoes they knitted. The emperor also told Zhou Peigong that the benevolent and righteous forehead was his hair and his companion. His maternal ancestor is Sunahai, and his father is Zhao Tieyan, a first-class guard in front of the emperor. They are all disciples of Mr. Shi Chenjing, the governor of the Ruiwang Mansion, including Prince Xuan, Tian Fujin and Princess Runyu. The husband and wife left home when their child was two years old and rushed to Yunnan to do business. Like Prince Rui, he was a meritorious minister of the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor told Zhou Peigong that what he admired most about the princess and the forehead was that he had never complained to him or expressed his merits. It is a distance of 5,000 miles from Beijing to Yunnan, and it is necessary to pass through the kind of smoky land in Lingnan, to face the bandits and robbers who appear at any time, and to have the sudden attack of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.

Zhou Peigong had never seen Bing'er, and when he saw Bing'er, he didn't connect him with the "benevolent and righteous forehead", he was really a sunny boy, and his handsome face was full of confident smiles. Master Pingma is an old friend of the prince, a disciple of Master Chen, and a senior brother of Bing'er in terms of seniority. He had seen Bing'er, and when they met, Bing'er was stopped: "Hurry back home after finishing your errands, your mother-in-law is worried about the two of you fidgeting." ”

Bing'er still doesn't know what she should do, what is the connection between investigating corrupt officials and herself? The protagonist of this case should be Zhou Peigong, and Master Ma is supervising him, what kind of role is he? But the Master asked him to come, that is, he has his own things to do, and it is not wrong to listen to the Master's words.

Zhou Peigong told Bing'er that he and Ma Yushi had already met with the prefect. and told him very clearly that he was impeached for embezzlement, and the emperor sent the two of them to investigate the case, hoping that the prefect would cooperate vigorously. If the impeached person planted a frame-up, the prefect will definitely be innocent at that time.

The prefect's face turned white all of a sudden. This is a Han official, and it is not easy to be the prefect of Xi'an. Although his face is not good, his attitude is very good, and he has repeatedly said that he will vigorously cooperate with Lord Qincha and Lord Yushi, and return his innocence. He also said that if you need to check the accounts, please check carefully. Zhou Peigong and Ma Ping are very strange: they said it so righteously, as if they had been wronged. But since it's not haunted, why do you change color and hair?

This prefect's surname is Zhang, and he is about forty-four or five years old, well-maintained and rich. The chin has three layers, and the belly also has the posture of a woman who is six or seven months pregnant. Even if Zhou Peigong is a sixth-grade, which is lower than his rank, but he is a Qincha sent by the emperor, it is quite a grade. There is also Ma Ping, who is the third product, he can only deign to it. After arranging a place for the two of them, it is time to start the investigation.

Zhou Peigong meant that it was none of his business first, and there were some situations that others were not familiar with, and the prefect had to provide more information. In fact, it was to paralyze him and make him feel that this investigation was just going through the motions. But Ma Ping was very wary of this prefect, Xi'an is a big city, and important cities such as Hangzhou and Jinling are on the same level. Being able to climb to this position is obviously because someone is covering him above, and it is not clear that some big official of the imperial court will be backstage for him, or in other words, if he is greedy for silver, he will also have a share in the background.

When Zhou Peigong and Ma Ping led Bing'er, Xue'er and Qing'er to Governor Zhang's front to introduce them, the prefect's eyes directly became cross-eyed, where had he ever seen a beautiful girl like Xue'er? After patronizing and looking at the beauty, Lord Qincha didn't hear what he said, just remembering that these two young people were relatives of Zhou Peigong and came to Xi'an to play. Qing'er is their bodyguard. There were three other servants who did not come at the inn, and did not hear the princess and the princess at all. However, he told Zhou Peigong that his relatives would live in the prefect's back office. The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart. It's all this time, and I still have the heart to look at beautiful women.

"Two adults, Xia Guan will entertain a few distinguished guests in the garden tonight, and he will use the native products of Xi'an to wash the dust for a few people, including the son and the young lady. It was not easy to come here, and it also made the lower officials fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Isn't that too annoying to Lord Zhang?"

"Eh, what's the bother? The two of you have traveled thousands of miles to the small yamen of the lower officials to come on business, and the lower officials should be well entertained. With that, his eyes fell on Cher's face again.

Bing'er was very angry, and said in her heart that this person must not be a good cake, knowing that the girl was a married person, the eyeballs were still like a fishhook. Besides, there may be sweat pills in his meals, covering several people so that he can attack Xue'er. So I thought about the "three tips", and I must have messed up this banquet.

The table was full of dishes, and the prefect began to introduce the dishes on the table to Zhou Qincha and Ma Yushi:

"This is a famous traditional dish in Xi'an, called 'chrysanthemum pot'. Chrysanthemums have been cooking for more than 2,000 years. Qu Yuan's predecessors once had the chant of 'Autumn Chrysanthemum in the Evening'...... "This Master Zhang is still a gourmet, pointing to the red copper hot pot on the table and began to gush endlessly. A big red and black wolf dog accidentally jumped up from behind him, grabbed the mutton bones on the big plate on the table, and started eating. Lord Zhang's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he shouted loudly: "Someone! The two strong men who looked like servants pounced, probably had no experience in catching dogs, and were a little stunned, so they grabbed the dog's ears and dragged them off the table. The dog was enjoying the delicious taste of the lamb's bones, and was of course very upset when he was pulled off the table, and threw down the bones and pounced on the servant, as if he was really in a hurry.

Xue'er knew that Bing'er got it, so she hid behind Bing'er, looking very scared, and looked at the prefect. Now the prefect has no face. Let the dog go to the table in front of the little beauty, are these officials and subordinates idiots?

"Beat the dog to death!" The prefect's voice was split.

"My lord, my lord, this dog is dead." The voice of the official was terrifying.

"Nonsense, why did it die if it didn't hit it?" The prefect knew that the dish was filled with ingredients, and the dog went to the table first to try the dish. Exposing intentions in advance, this is something that Bing'er and everyone didn't expect, and this prefect is too anxious, right? What is the sin of drugging Lord Chincha and Lord Goshi? How dare you take such a risk? Bing'er just let the dog mess with the table, distracting the prefect from looking at Xue'er. Fortunately, the dog even took the initiative to take on the task of tasting dishes.

Another official said, "The adult is not dead, the dog is not dead, and there is still anger, but it seems to be lost." "This man spoke directly.

"You bunch of trash, you can't even look down on a dog. Hurry up and get it. "The prefect tried his best to hide it.

Zhou Peigong coughed and said to the prefect, "You better explain what happened to your dog first." It was fine before it was on the table, and I fainted after eating the mutton bones, didn't you give us a few of these muttons to catch the wind and wash the dust? Are you trying to get us down and not investigate the case? ”

"Lord Qincha misunderstood, no matter how bold the lower officials are, they don't dare to put anything taboo in the dish."

"Do you still need to quibble about the matter in front of you?"

"That dog is sick, it's a mad dog!"

Not to mention that Zhou Peigong burst out laughing, even those present and present were all staggering with laughter: What kind of excuse is this? Mad dogs don't bite, but they know that there is something delicious on the table. Fortunately, I didn't go crazy enough to overturn the chrysanthemum pot, and I didn't burn anyone, which is very lucky.

But the prefect couldn't calm down, he thought, "We must not let these people go back alive!" Even putting sweat medicine in the dish for Qin Cha is also a crime of killing the head, and a few of them were eliminated when few people knew about the Qin Cha sent by the above to investigate the case, and then told the court that Qin Cha had never come at all. Throw the bodies of several of them into the river and wash them away. So he gave the bodyguards around him who were dressed as small guys a look, and several "little guys" immediately rushed over.

Bing'er said with an ignorant look: "What do you mean, Lord Prefect?" I didn't eat such a good dish, and I called a few guys who were like wolves and tigers. Qing'er, you get these people away. ”

"Yes, forehead." Qing'er hugged her fists in a very manly manner and stopped several bodyguards.

Xue'er and Qing'er whispered a few words, and Qing'er nodded.

One of the bodyguards looked Qing'er up and down in a daze, and said to his accomplices: "This girl is really very standard, but it is a little darker." It's okay, practice with my brother? ”

Qing'er said: "Let's go out to practice, a few adults here are talking about business." ”

"Okay, okay, go out and practice, a few of us will practice with the girl, can the girl stand it?"

"Nasty billet, get me out." As soon as he spoke, the nasty billet lay on his back on the ground.

The prefect of this meeting seemed to be sleepwalking, and his eyes were straight to himself: "Just now she said the forehead, and the forehead is Gege or the princess's husband?" Is the forehead coming? What did you do when you ran to the Yamen of Xi'an? ”

Ma Ping smiled and said, "Lord Prefect, didn't this official introduce you to you?" This is Princess Runyu, the righteous daughter of the former emperor, and this is Zhao Renyi. ”

The prefect's face immediately turned like earth, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The lower official has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he has offended the princess and the ......."

Bing'er said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you can explain, give us the wind and wash the dust, we didn't move the chopsticks at the banquet, and your wolfdog was on the table, what do you mean?" Humiliate us? ”

"Xia Guan has no such intention! It's all the people below who are not optimistic, so they quickly removed the table and made a new table! ”

"Master Zhang, you don't have to, can you explain to us, how can a dog fall down after eating a lamb bone?"

Master Zhang was dumbfounded, how could he explain? When he was thinking about it, he saw Zhou Peigong slap the table: "Come on, first invite Master Zhang to the prefect's prison for a few days." ”

None of the officials dared to arrest their own lord, the county officials might as well be in charge now, and when the time came, Qin almost slapped his ass and left, but they were the unlucky, hesitating there, and no one dared to step forward.

Bing'er said, "Qing'er, do me a favor." ”

Qing'er hugged her fists, like dragging a dead dog, and dragged the prefect out of the door by the collar. But how did she know where the prefect's prison was? I asked the officer, but the officer didn't dare to say. Qing'er asked, "Then where is his home?" ”

When the official heard this, he sent the prefect home? This is a good idea, he ran away and his family is still responsible, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates will take you to Master Zhang's house!"

The weight of the prefect is more than two hundred catties, and it will be very difficult for two strong men to carry it, but in Qing'er's hands, it is like a cabbage. It's much taller than cabbage, and it's not easy to lift off the ground - it's not that Qing'er can't carry it, it's that her arm length is limited. But Qing'er has a way, and if it's not easy to mention, she drags it out, and where Master Zhang passes, there is a deep ditch that is scratched by his foot.

Knocking on the door of Mr. Zhang's house, the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper was startled, why did Mr. Zhang drag him back? was busy stepping forward to help, Qing'er shouted: "Stand far away!"

Seeing that his master was dragged to death by a girl like a dog, pulling the back collar at a 45-degree angle, lying not lying, standing not standing, the housekeeper's mouth grinned several times, and he didn't dare to speak, thinking that the adults were bullying this girl, and he was brought to the house to chill. Hurriedly stopped: "Few, several, if you have something to say, let go of my family first......"

The official spoke, "Steward Sun, our lord offended the Qincha and the forehead, and the lord said that he would put our lord in the prefect's prison, and this girl was kind-hearted and said to send it home." The subordinates thought that they could be better at home than in prison, so they sent it to lead the way. Hurry up and invite this girl into the house, she is to protect the princess and the forehead. ”

Steward Sun is a little cloudy, what's the matter? Why is there still a princess and a princess? Could it be that the princess and the forehead are here from Beijing? The reaction of his brain is still relatively fast, and it is not fun for the princess to offend her. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face: "Girl, please first, just leave the adult here." As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Governor Zhang.
