Chapter 168: Go to Jinan again
Xia Xun's dogtail grass has now arrived in Xuzhou.
They came from Nanjing, and from here to Shandong, it was the closest route. In fact, it took ten days to get here, which is really a little slow, but there are more than two of them, patrolling according to the imperial envoy to travel, although there is no need to set up the guard of honor along the way, sound the gong to open the way, and avoid quietly, but so many people move and rest "It is always much slower than one or two people walking in a light car" plus it is the time when the news of the murder and theft and the tracking of the White Lotus Sect is the tightest recently, "The checkpoints and inspections along the way are much stricter than usual, which also delays the journey." However, Xia Xun is no longer in a hurry, "If he can embark on the road back to Shandong, then Peng Ziqi will only go home a few days earlier than him, so there will be no accidents." Instead of rushing recklessly, it is better to think about how to deal with the difficulties of the old father-in-law, brother-in-law and brother-in-law. Besides, Old Man Zhu gave him enough face as a little ant who could pinch to death as soon as he stretched out his hand, granted him leave in disguise, and deliberately ignored his sin of weathering.
Although the legal principle is nothing more than human affection, the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, and the emperor also talks about human feelings, but this old man has always been a little mean to his officials, and now he treats himself like this, which is an extrajudicial favor. Since the emperor sent him under the guise of letting him go to Shandong to investigate the White Lotus bandits, then he hugged the grass and beat the rabbits, and even robbed his wife to fight the bandits, he had to take care of both of them, and he couldn't kick his nose in the face, in front of Lao Zhu, who had that qualification?
The Xuzhou ferry was overcrowded because of the strict investigation, and the people who crossed the river lined up in a long line. Huang Imperial Envoy and Yang Interview Envoy did not set up a guard of honor, and they wore humble clothes, which was not good to open the official authority and open the way, and they were patrol envoys, and it was their duty to interview the people, and there was no reason for them to take the lead in disturbing the people, so they had to be patient and move forward. Finally, it was their turn, and the subordinates handed over the guide not to walk, but it was an official defense, the inspector was a little surprised, opened it and looked at it carefully, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Ouch, the disrespect and disrespect turned out to be an adult from Beijing, who delayed the adult's trip, angry and forgiven." I don't know how many adults and how many people in the entourage are asked to point them out one by one, and the next official will let them go. β
He turned his head, pointed at a few hands with a single knife with a sheath, and shouted, "Belch, something that doesn't open your eyes," quickly put the deer on the side of the road, and give way to the adult car. β
Looking down at a scholar who had just been unpacked and inspected, he was still slowly picking up his things, and the inspector said angrily: "This Xiucai, I said that you can hurry up, you are not alone." β
Xia Xun sat in the car and glanced at the man. This man wore a Confucian shirt and a sword, "At first glance, he looks like a scholar who travels to study, but his family does not seem to be very wealthy." He brought with him a great bag, which seemed to have come from afar, but he had neither a horse nor a scholar's servant. His bag had been dismantled during the inspection, and his clothes and books had been thrown to the ground, and he was picking up the books one by one, dusting them off, and stuffing them into his backpack. If it was changed to another trip, he would not be in the way of packing his things there, but Xia Xun's group came by car, so it would be a little in the way. Seeing this, Xia Xun instructed the inspector: "Don't rush him" We have passed early, and the ferry will not be opened if it is not satisfied, so it doesn't hurt to wait for a while. β
The inspector listened to it again and again, turned around and walked to Na Xiucai's side, and scolded a few words: "Hurry up, hurry up, grind." β
Thank you, sir."
The scholar obviously heard Xia Xun's words, raised his head and thanked him with a smile. Seeing that this scholar is burly, with a Chinese face, high cheekbones, and a little bulging eyebrow bones, it looks a little craggy" But at a glance, it was very imposing, so I also smiled at him.
Xiucai stuffed all his books and clothes back into his suitcase, picked up his saber and put it back at his waist, and walked forward. Since then across the river, it is the territory of Shandong, the hometown of Confucius, as long as the scholars in the lower reaches of the world can go far away, they will come to Shandong, towards the temple of Confucius in Quzhuo, worship the great sages and sages, and it is not uncommon to see scholars from afar here.
Xia Xun and his party also passed the checkpoint, and the inspector was very considerate and sent a messenger to show them the way in front, "and walked in front of many passers-by." Xia Xun and the scholar looked at each other again, and the two nodded politely to each other, Xia Xun lowered his eyes and noticed that the man's hand was pressing on the hilt of the sword.
This is a decorative sword, basically it can't kill people, the sword body is too light and thin, and it doesn't open the edge, even if it opens, it can't cut and chop, because the iron quality is too poor. This kind of sword can only be used as an ornament "to dance the sword, to train and to train the body."
At that time, cavalry and archery were compulsory in official studies, "because once the students were recruited, they might be sent to other places to serve as officials in the future", and the magistrates were "natural" when they were arresting bandits, fighting rebellions, and dealing with foreign enemies. Therefore, this is a basic skill that scholars must learn. However, after all, the main business of the scholars is ink, will they develop the habit of holding the sword at any time?
Xia Xun's mind unexpectedly flashed the ghost eye knife that Peng Ziqi didn't leave for a moment, and wherever she was old, she subconsciously pressed the knife with her hand, and her brows couldn't help frowning slightly. He glanced deeply at the scholar again, and then turned his head, and the river in front of him was surging, and the crossing of the Yellow River had arrived......
Xiucai walked slowly behind, with a smile on his face, calm.
His academic official recorded that his name was Wang Yiyuan, Xiucai of Nanyang Prefecture, Henan, and he was thirty-two years old Chinese New Year's Eve.
His surname is indeed Wang, and Yiyuan is indeed his real name, but there are not many people in the world who know his real name, and most people only know his other name, a great name: King Kong "slave, Wang King Kong slave."
King Kong Nu is one of the heads of the White Lotus Sect in Mian County, Shaanxi, when he first preached, he was the three leaders, the White Lotus Sect in Mian County, the generalissimo is Tian Jiucheng, the second marshal is Gao Fuxing, and the third marshal is him: Wang Jingangnu.
Later, they rebelled and pushed the generalissimo Tian Jiu to become the Emperor of the Han Ming Dynasty, with the year name Dragon and Phoenix "The second marshal Gao Fuxing was the Maitreya Buddha, and he became one of the four heavenly kings.
The rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Mian County was raging this time, and tens of thousands of people quickly gathered, looking very mighty, "They thought that they could really establish a country on their own, and they would be the king and hegemon, but who knew that as soon as the imperial army arrived, it collapsed in an instant." That Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen is a person who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and has repeatedly made military exploits, the world knows that this person is good at defending, but he doesn't know that he is only relative to his attack, if he meets a famous general, Geng Bingwen's command in attack tactics is indeed lackluster, but in front of this group of mobs who only know that there are heavenly soldiers and generals to protect and evaluate, and they can be invulnerable when they recite the curse, Geng Bingwen's attack is as sharp as ever.
Emperor Han Ming died, Maitreya Buddha died, the four King Kongs only survived him, he brought some of the gold and jade treasures that he led people to loot the wealthy families, escaped from Shaanxi, and bought this fake official certificate in Nanyang Mansion, Henan, and was actually rushed to Xuzhou ferry by him all the way.
He is getting farther and farther away from Shaanxi, and he believes that this time he is finally safe. For the time being, he went to Jinan Mansion to join his cousin, and after the limelight, he will still go back, Mianxian County has his foundation, although the officers and soldiers are powerful, "but unless the government kills all the local people, it will not be able to get rid of his foundation" He will make a comeback and make a comeback.

Huang Zhen and Xia Xun arrived twenty miles outside Jinan Mansion before they stopped to dress up, set up a guard of honor, and at the same time sent people to Jinan Mansion to report the news.
Huang Zhen is an old master who has passed huΔjia this year, and has fiddled with pen and ink in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a lifetime, because he is a wooden person, there is no personal relationship, and the good thing of expatriate tolerance has never been his turn, and he has also died of heart, "Honestly stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to receive Dai Lu, occasionally help people write an epitaph wedding sticker, earn a pen fee when fishing, and be content and happy."
Who would have thought that he was old and old, and he was actually sent as the most majestic patrol envoy, Huang Imperial Envoy was so happy after learning the news that he forgot what his surname was, almost like Fan Jinzhong, a mouthful of phlegm lost his mind, who knew that the imperial envoy Wu Youdao immediately gave him a "big slap" and woke him up with a "fan": "This time I went north to Shandong Mansion" Your name is the Imperial Envoy, in fact, you can't do anything, but listen to the interview envoy Yang Xu's instructions. Yang Xu has a secret order to go to Shandong on his own business, you are just a pretense, understand? β
One sentence knocked Huang Zhen back to his original form, "He still did the Huang Inspector who was silent and silent" Coming out of Tianfu, he was like a disguise floating on the front of the car, and even Xia Xun was in charge of the sharp behavior" Lord Huang is like a mud tire wood carving, too lazy to that leisure. In the eyes of outsiders, I feel that this imperial envoy has a big frame and is not easy to get along with, but it is the interview that makes the adult more sleek.
The news was reported to Ying Tianfu, and Ying Tianbu sent people to the political envoy department, the commander of the envoy department, and the criminal envoy department, "because Huang Zhen is the imperial envoy of the patrol press" The patrol envoy is not like the special investigation of the imperial envoy, what you are sent to check is what to check, and the patrol envoy takes care of everything, and you can ask about everything" So all the yamen have to send people.
Huang Zhen is a seven-rank official, and his official position is not big, "but he has great power" This time he is a member of the imperial court, and he is actually patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, "so the official positions sent by various yamen are not low, and most of them are officials of five or six grades" Among them, there is Qiu Xiaqiu, the counselor of the political envoy department. Lord Qiu sent people to chase Xia Xun to Beiping last time, but he didn't catch any tricks, but because of the Mongols' conspiracy to blow up the Yanwang Mansion, he put his people in prison.
Thanks to the cleverness of the two of them, they only said that they came to Beiping to investigate a case on the orders of Jinan Mansion, and did not say that they were instructed by Qiu Xia privately. Seeing Xia Xun again this time, Xia Xun actually turned into a member of the imperial court, Qiu Xia had a smile on his face, but there was a faint hatred in his eyes! ~οΌ
