87_87272 The next day, Su Jiming went to the government on an errand, and it was only noon when someone came to report to the official that the two factions of ruffians and hooligans of the Bai Miao and Li tribes were fighting on the street.

When the mustache heard the news, he gave Su Jiming a thumbs up, patted his ass, and said, "Master Su is clever!" ”

Yesterday, Su Jiming inquired about the situation of the ruffians in Huizhou from his mustache, and immediately thought of a trick to use his strength. This Huizhou is remote, lacking in materials, gathering in groups, and lacking in education, so there are naturally many idle and evil people. Human nature is similar, every race of good people has it, and every race of bad people has it. When Qin Chun was in power, he gathered these people under his hands, sheltered them, and sent them, so that the people sighed and made their lives miserable.

However, these people and Qin Chun only used each other to take what they needed, and there was no loyalty at all. Qin Chun wants to rescue his brother-in-law, in addition to wanting to appease his favorite concubine, another more important reason is that once his brother-in-law is executed, the people of Huizhou will also know that Qin Chun has lost power and is no longer the emperor of Huizhou who covers the sky with one hand. Then those ruffians will no longer buy Qin Chun's face, and he will naturally drive those people not to move.

The mustache told Su that he understood that the ruffians of the Miao and Li tribes had always been at odds, and almost made a big fight several times, but Qin Chun mediated in order to protect his wings, so that they could barely get along. This time, Qin Chun sent three Bai Miao people to trouble Su Jiming, but these three people were killed by Xi Wu.

Su Jiming asked people to put Qin Chun's brother-in-law's case on hold for the time being, and was not in a hurry to deal with him, and then hung the bodies of the three Bai Miao people out to show the public, and at the same time released the news to the Bai Miao people, saying that this mission was originally done by Qin Chun to the Li people, but the Li people heard that the task was too dangerous, so they asked Qin Chun to find the Bai Miao people and blame the Bai Miao people.

These ruffians are young and vigorous, and they have a long history of grievances, and it is not difficult to incite them. According to the news that spread yesterday, more than a dozen Bai Miao people went to the territory of the Li people to pick quarrels and provoke troubles this morning. Without Qin Chun's mediation, the war between the two sides broke out at one point, and a weapon fight soon broke out.

Su Jiming heard the news and hurriedly sent officers and soldiers. He instructed his officers and soldiers to disperse the people so that innocent people would not be implicated. As for the group of brawling ruffians, just scare and scare them on the periphery, don't rush to subdue them, and then arrest them all when they are defeated.

In the afternoon, a group of remnants of the defeated soldiers were brought back and thrown into prison.

However, this matter is not over, in addition to taking good control of these lawless thugs, how can Su Jiming let Qin Chun go? In the afternoon, he sent people out again to spread the news all over Huizhou, especially to leak the news to those ruffians, saying that the envoy Wei Qiong planned to govern Huizhou well, and it was not enough to kill Bu Tian, but also to teach the ruffians and hooligans in Huizhou a hard lesson. In order to keep his official position, Qin Chun vigorously assisted Wei Qiong, and first attacked Bai Miao and Li people, those who had sacrificed their lives for him in these two clans had already been put in prison and ready to be sentenced.

Su Jiming's plan is brilliant. Since Wei Qiong came to Lingnan, Qin Chun has been much more honest and the rule of law has become much stricter. Those ruffians who messed around all day long were used to doing evil, and they couldn't live a peaceful life, so they were already very uneasy, worried that Qin Chun would not be able to protect them. Now as soon as I heard that Qin Chun not only didn't protect them, but also sold them for their own careers, these people listened to the wind and rain, how could they not be in a hurry, think about the past when they grabbed a tael of silver and scored five points to Qin Chun, now that they have no good life, can they let Qin Chun'an sit on the official career?

Another day later, early in the morning, Su Jiming had just arrived at the yamen and sat down, and before his butt was hot, the servants in Qin Chun's mansion hurriedly came to report the case: "Oh no! Master Su, it's not a good thing! ”

Su Jiming asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The servant was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Early in the morning, a group of people broke in with sticks, saying that they wanted to settle accounts with Lord Qin, and when they entered the door, they smashed things when they saw them, and beat them when they saw people." ”

Su Jiming asked, "What about Qin Chunren?" ”

The servant said: "I escaped to report the case, they grabbed Lord Qin and didn't let go, Master Su quickly sent officers and soldiers to deal with this gang of villains!" ”

Su Jiming sneered. However, if someone reported the case, he naturally wouldn't care, so he didn't hurry up and ordered a batch of officers and soldiers and went to Qin Chun's residence.

When I arrived at the door of Qin Chun's mansion, I saw that his gate had been smashed, and the lanterns and potted plants hanging at the door were sprinkled all over the ground, which was a mess. Su Jiming sighed, and there was no sympathy. Qin Chun is a carbuncle remnant, and he suffers from it. How can ruffians and hooligans be so easy to get along with? A * cunning and unscrupulous people use each other, and when they are about to be unlucky, where will they still care about the old feelings, they will only run faster than anyone else, and they will be more ruthless than anyone else.

Su Jiming took the officers and soldiers in, and when the ruffians saw the officers and soldiers coming, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and those who ran fast escaped through the back door, and those who ran slowly were caught by the officers and soldiers.

Su Jiming said lightly: "Where is Qin Chun?" ”

The servant hiding in the corner ran out and pointed to the inner hall.

Everyone walked into the inner hall, only to see that the inside was even more messy, the valuable things in the house were all gone, and the rest were almost smashed, even the stone wall was smashed open, revealing a small room, leaving a few empty boxes, obviously this is where Qin Chun hid his treasures, but there is nothing left at this time.

And Qin Chun himself, his head was broken and bleeding and he fell in a mess, his clothes were in tatters, his hands and feet were tied behind his back, and his leg bones were twisted into a strange arc. Su Jiming couldn't help frowning at this miserable appearance, but he didn't have any sympathy in his heart - these ruffians were all tiger and wolf gangsters, how many people did Qin Chun collude with them to disobey him that day? Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that recently, if Xiwu hadn't come in time, I am afraid that I would have ended up like this. This qiē is Qin Chun's current world report, and he deserves it.

Su Jiming said lightly: "Go and see how Lord Qin is?" ”

The mustache was overjoyed when he saw Qin Chun's miserable appearance. Qin Chun's dog didn't listen to him anymore and bit him, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore, and the mustache didn't have to worry about Qin Chun coming to find trouble. If it weren't for the fact that there were many people here, he couldn't wait to lie at Su Jiming's feet and shout three times that the adult was wise, but at this moment, he had to endure it and stepped forward to see Qin Chun's condition.

Qin Chun was beaten fat, how could those people be merciful? Almost knocked him out with half his life. If it weren't for the fact that he was forced to tell him where his belongings were hidden, he would have been killed. Now I barely have half a breath left, and my leg has been broken.

Qin Chun opened his bruised eyes weakly, and saw Su Jiming, like a worm, squirming and trying to get closer to him. Su Jiming stood still, looking down at him with pity. After a while, Qin Chun didn't take a breath, tilted his head, and fainted.

Su Jiming said: "Take Master Qin and his family back, find a doctor to show him, if you want to take revenge and recover your property, please cooperate with this official to handle the case." With that, the wind swept the eyes of the people in the hall. Qin Chun's family members knelt on the ground one by one and trembled, secretly gritting their teeth, they must make those ruffians look good.

The dog-eat-dog situation is exactly what Su Jiming wants to see the most, and now Qin Chun is also unlucky, and those bandits and rats are also at large for a few days, Su Jiming sent people to chase the ruffians who escaped, and let people clean up the mess in Qin Chun's mansion and go back to the official mansion.

This time Qin Chun has completely lost his momentum, Su Jiming no longer has to worry about what moth he can toss, and he even walks much brisker.

After finishing his business in the evening, Su Jiming was about to go back to tell Xiwu the good news, and when he left the official mansion, he saw a sedan chair parked at the door, and Wei Qiong's subordinates were standing next to the sedan chair.

"Lord Su, Lord Wei has set up a banquet, please Lord Su to appreciate it."

Su Jiming raised his eyebrows. Wei Qiong didn't know what he was busy with recently, and he didn't come to him for a while. Wei Qiong's news is very well-informed, and the news of Wei Qiong's bad luck has reached his ears during the day today.

Since Wei Qiongdu sent someone to invite, Su Jiming had no reason to refuse, so he got into the sedan chair and went.

After entering the house, the subordinates led Su Jiming to walk inside, through the winding path of the garden, only to hear the murmuring of the water, and then turn a corner, and the small bridge and flowing water will be displayed in front of him. There was a water pavilion on the river, Wei Qiong sat in the water pavilion, there were a few dishes on the stone table, and there were two jars of wine on the side of the stone chair.

The subordinate led Su Jiming to the water pavilion, bent down and said, "Your Excellency is over, and Lord Wei is already waiting." With that, he stepped back.

Su Jiming did not step forward immediately. Wei Qiong himself had already poured a glass of wine and drank it, he didn't know if he found that Su Jiming had come, but he didn't look back, but held the wine cup and looked at the river that was slightly wrinkled by the wind in a daze, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning slightly, as if he felt happy and troubled in his heart.

Su Jiming walked over: "Brother Ziyu." ”

Wei Qiong glanced back at him and nodded at the position beside him: "You are here, sit down." ”

Su Jiming sat down beside Wei Qiong, and Wei Qiong filled him with a glass of wine with his own hands: "You taste, the fifty-year-old millet wine of Jiuqu Xuan transported from the capital." ”

Su Jiming picked up the wine glass in surprise and sniffed it, and a mellow aroma of wine came to his nose. Jiuquxuan is the most famous wine shop in Beijing, and most of the wine used by dignitaries and guests is bought from there, and the millet wine there is also Wei Qiong's favorite. Su Jiming said: "Brother Ziyu is a good drinker. "Transporting two jars of wine from the capital for thousands of miles, such an interest is also amazing.

Wei Qiong smiled and pointed to the candied fruit on the plate: "This is sent by Guixiangzhai." It's a pity that the best fresh fruit dim sum made by Guixiangzhai is far away and cannot be delivered. I'm really nostalgic. ”

Su Jiming twisted a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth. The candied fruit made by Beijing Guixiang Zhai uses special spices, and the faint cinnamon fragrance lingers between the lips and tongue when tasting, and the aftertaste is endless.

Su Jiming said: "Is there a messenger from the capital?" ”

Wei Qiong nodded: "A few months ago, I wrote to the emperor, saying that I miss the capital, so he sent someone to send these things over. After a pause, he sighed, "I wish I could go back sooner......"

Su Jiming swallowed the preserved fruit in his mouth and took another sip of wine, but he didn't have Wei Qiong's mood. He left Beijing earlier than Wei Qiong, and in the past two years, Jiuqu Xuan and Gui Xiangzhai's cooking techniques have improved, or he has been away from Beijing for too long, and the food he loved to eat in the past is only unfamiliar in his mouth, and his heart is not the slightest wave.

"Drink." Wei Qiong saluted Su Jiming with a glass of wine and said, "I heard that you made Qin Chun suffer a lot today?" ”

Su Jiming spread his hands: "Where did you start with this, he was attacked by a group of ruffians, how did I make him suffer?" ”

"Hah!" Wei Qiong pointed at Su Jiming, "You guy!" He took another sip of wine, "It's very good." Qin Chun, this guy should have made him suffer a long time ago! ”

He said, "You have made a great contribution, I will toast you again." ”

Su Jiming was a little confused for a while, "What merit have I made?" ”

Wei Qiong smiled: "Have you forgotten or are you confused, your merits may allow us to go back to Beijing earlier." The roast goose of Zhenyucui and the almond porridge of Meixiangzhai can be tasted fresh when you go back. Now I can only taste these plums, and I hope the plums quench my thirst! ”

Su Jiming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly it suddenly dawned on Wei Qiong that what he said should be referring to the matter of handing over the pearl. Previously, Wei Qiong sent a group of heavily armed officers and soldiers out of the city, and he really went back to Beijing to offer treasures.

If he mentioned returning to Beijing before, Su Jiming should be very happy, this is something he has been thinking about for a long time, but now from Wei Qiong's mouth, he suddenly only feels weak, and ...... Disturbed. He lowered his eyes, took a sip of wine, and said meaninglessly, "Yes......"

Wei Qiong smiled: "Qingzhe, you are a smart person, there are some things that you know even if I don't say them." I don't have to hide it from you, I left Beijing this time, and all the excuses are around, and the most important thing is to find an elixir for the emperor so that he will not suffer from illness. ”

Su Jiming was silent.

"You have made a great contribution to the acquisition of the barbarian holy relics." Wei Qiong lightly touched Su Jiming's wine glass, "Qingzhe...... Thank you very much. ”

Su Jiming raised his glass and touched him, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. When he used that pearl to deceive Wei Qiong that day, he thought that even Xiwu didn't know what the true body of the holy object was, and Wei Qiong didn't know how to pass through the sky, so he took a fake one to deceive him, Su Jiming didn't expect to be able to deceive him once, so he made him suspicious of the letter and delayed time. However, now Wei Qiong seems to believe it completely. It was so easy to get what he wanted, Wei Qiong was such a cunning person and didn't have suspicions, which was not quite right.

Su Jiming said: "As a minister, it is also appropriate to smear the liver and brain of the king, and it is not worth saying." However, Brother Ziyu, I don't know something. How can you be sure that the barbarian relics can cure the emperor's illness? I had been in Wuman for more than a year, and I had no idea that the holy relic was so miraculous. ”

Wei Qiong waved his hand: "You are an outsider in the end, and it is reasonable for them not to sue you." I'm not sure, but if there's hope, I'm going to give it a try. A hundred years ago, a barbarian left Danzhou and came to Lingnan to tell the local officials about the Wubarian tribe, and the local officials wrote to the royal family. However, Lingnan was a long way away, and the ancestor emperor thought that maybe the local officials had made up a story in order to invite the favor, so he did not feel sad and sealed the letter. ”

Su Jiming frowned. Such a statement is in line with what Xi Wu said. No wonder Wei Qiong knew more about many things in the Wu Barbarian Clan than he did. It's just that he refused to say the source of the news before, and now he suddenly sues himself again, why is this?

Wei Qiong slowly ate snacks and drank wine: "Many things written in that secret book seem to be true now. If what the secret book says is true, the black barbarian relics can not only make people live a long and healthy life, but even can make dry bones come alive. ”

"What?!" Su Jiming said incredulously, "Dry bones? Raising the dead? How is this possible? ”

Wei Qiong said: "That's what is written in the book. I also think it is incredible, but the barbarians are so miraculous, and it is not entirely impossible that the holy relics have the effect of rebelling against the heavens. ”

Su Jiming laughed dryly twice and did not comment. It's not that he doubts the truth or falsehood, the holy relics are all divine, and there is nothing wrong with being divine at all. It's just that he didn't have the idea of a holy relic, whether it was good or bad, it was just an exclamation for him.

Wei Qiong couldn't put it down while holding the wine glass, took a lot of sips with the snack, and said: "Your contribution this time should not be underestimated, after returning to Beijing, you just wait for the rise and snow!" ”

Su Jiming made a happy appearance, but he was really not so happy in his heart, and after a while, he began to look at the river and become distracted.

Wei Qiong observed her words and smiled: "You don't want to go back to Beijing, right?" ”

Su Jiming was startled and hurriedly said, "How come!" Back to Beijing...... Naturally, I was looking forward to it, my grandmother was old and frail, and I was the only grandson under my knees, and I couldn't serve in front of her old man, which was really a great unfilial piety. ”

Wei Qiong's expression froze obviously, and then began to persuade him unnaturally: "You drink more." ”

Su Jiming was persuaded twice by him, and his face felt hot. He knew that he was not strong enough to drink, and he was afraid of being embarrassed in front of Wei Qiong, so when Wei Qiong persuaded him again, he insisted on refusing to drink anymore: "Brother Ziyu, what is your idea today, why do you seem to be determined to get me drunk?" ”

Wei Qiong said: "What's wrong with getting drunk and relieving a thousand sorrows?" ”

Su Jiming frowned: "Worried? What worries? Do you know that I have a problem to solve? I've been having a good time lately. ”

Wei Qiong was silent.

Su Ji saw that he was so abnormal, obviously he had something to hide, and he couldn't help but be a little strict: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Wei Qiong hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and shook his head: "Stop...... Sooner or later, I'll have to sue you. A messenger came to the capital, sent some special products, and returned ...... Brought a message. Qingzhe, don't be too upset, you ...... Your grandmother she ...... 5 months ago...... He died of illness. ”。
