Yunjun Governor's Mansion, Governor Wu Miao is holding a reception banquet for Lord Qincha.

The officials from all walks of life who rushed to meet Qincha were messy and had no rules at all, which was a different situation than the officialdom of Qiongjun.

Yunjun was attached to the imperial court relatively late, and the governor and assassin here were also hereditary officials, selected from local tribal leaders. Because the attachment time is not long, it stands to reason that the person who serves as the governor and assassin should be the most powerful tribal leader here, and will not be like Luo Yunyun of Qiongjun, who has declined over the generations and has become a complete bureaucrat.

But the actual situation is not like this, the Governor of Yunjun and the Assassin of Yunjun are indeed the leaders of the larger local tribes, but in terms of strength, they are at most ranked third and fourth. There were two larger tribes above them, but they did not hold any positions in the government.

Why is this happening? Because these two tribes are equal in strength, it is difficult to distinguish between them. These two tribes are the White Barbarians and the Black Barbarians. The strength of the two clans is equal, who do you let be the governor and who will be the assassin? No one wanted to be inferior, so in the end they had to take a compromise and choose the tribes that ranked third and fourth in strength, and these two tribes of equal strength became the existence above the local government.

This is also the reason why when the imperial court wanted to strengthen its control over Yunjun, the governor and assassin of the place would be deposed and dismissed due to the strong backlash of the local tribes. Because there are two more powerful tribal leaders behind them, they are the white barbarian Xunyue and the Wuman's Yue Satin Lan, these two families are the great families that have been inherited in the southwest region for thousands of years.

After Kaoru Yue returned to Yun County from Qiongjun angrily. Before he sat down, he heard that Hong Seyan was chasing after him from Qiongjun. Xun Yue was humiliated by Hong Seyan in Qiongjun. This time he returned to his territory, and the person who held the banquet was smaller than him, so how could he go to the banquet in person. So only one son was sent.

The big head of Satina has always liked to compete with Kaoru Yue, and he doesn't want to be short of Kaoru Moon in anything. I heard that Kaoru Yue didn't go, but he didn't go, so he sent a son to the banquet.

In the Governor's Mansion, except for Governor Wu Miao and Thorn Shi Yunxuan, who wore official uniforms, even the officials under them wore their own clothes as usual. Regardless of whether they have an official position or not, when they meet, they are addressed by their position and status in their own clan. What toast, soil house, big head, two-headed man, small head, big housekeeper, small housekeeper, village head and so on.

Hong Seyan also went to this southwest ground to know that the Tusitou people are not just different in name, in fact, there is a big difference between the two. The Tusi is the ruler of a territory's territory and the owner of the land. When the people plough their land, they must pay grain to the Tusi, who holds the political, economic, and military power in the territory, and is actually equivalent to the head of a country.

The Tusha is an immediate family member of the Tusi. The power is the same as the big head. But the status is higher than that of the big head, equivalent to the prince of a country. Under the earth house are the big head, the two-headed and the small-headed people, as well as the big steward, the second steward and the head of the village.

Hong Seyan can't tell the difference between them, anyway, in his eyes, these people are all dirt buns, he is an angel who can kill anyone. Therefore, he was too lazy to remember the official positions and names of these people, to distinguish between their status, and to be polite to them.

Because of his disdain, the two biggest local toasts did not play. just sent a son to do a perfunctory thing, and he didn't find out.

Hong Seyan's perfunctory and disdain naturally made these toasters and leaders secretly unhappy. But after all, he was sent by the imperial court, and he couldn't turn his face with him for this matter, but there were even fewer people who were willing to come forward to talk enthusiastically, everyone was just perfunctory, and then slipped aside to chat with acquaintances, Hong Seyan was even more unhappy in his eyes.

The banquet began, and the chaos was like the king of the mountain in the Juyi Hall, the toast leaders did not stand up, sat or not, drank wine in a big bowl, and ate meat, Hong Seyan saw that they had no reverence for themselves, and his heart became more and more displeased. ”

"Ben Chin was ordered to inspect the southwestern counties, and he came to investigate the case of collusion, bribery, and collusion with unscrupulous tribes to plot rebellion......"

Hong Seyan's face was like a dark cloud, and his voice was also full of cold swishing taste, faintly revealing murderous intent, but it was a pity that these leaders and toasts came to play the piano to the cow.

If this threatening sentence is placed in the officialdom of the Central Plains, it will immediately make the hearts of the officials who hear it awe, lest they be involved, they will immediately be restless, and the food will be tasteless, but here Hong Seyan's words might as well be a fart, those who drink are still drinking, those who eat meat are still eating meat, and there are still people who are making fists.

Hong Seyan was furious, slapped his palm on the case with a "bang", and said sharply: "Ben Qincha has already mastered conclusive evidence!" According to the list transcribed from the official of Kou Qing Palace, over the years, there have been a total of 329 families and more than 4,800 people in Yunjun, where are these people? A total of seven families were beheaded yesterday, and only 36 people were killed! Where are the others? ”

Hong Seyan coldly glanced at the toast leaders who were not a little stronger than the bandits in his view, and said Sen Ran: "Someone is shielding the wanderers, just because of the cover-up, Ben Qincha can be judged as an accomplice, not to mention, since they can do this, do you know that they are not the same party?" This matter, Ben Qincha will definitely investigate, no matter who is found, he will not be spared! ”

The voice below is a little quieter, but the drinking, meat, ear-to-ear, patting each other's shoulders to eat and laugh is still not restrained.

Hong Seyan knocked on the side and said: "Some people, don't think that the sky is high and the queen is far away, and Ben Qincha can't do anything about you." Under the whole world, if it is not the king's land, who can escape the king's education? Once Ben Chin finds out who has colluded with the exiles, you will definitely be arrested and brought to justice, and the law of the country will be corrected! ”

Hong Seyan glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "Maybe someone thinks that the tribe is strong enough to fight against the officers and soldiers of Yunjun. I just don't know if the imperial court sends another heavenly soldier to come, do you still have enough strength to fight? Now He is going to expedition to Muhua and is about to return with a big victory! This elite division is invincible all the way. If it is a will of the saint, he ordered this army returning from the expedition to enter the southwest to suppress the bandits, and take advantage of the power of a great victory. With the sharp edge of the big victory, who can be the enemy at the time! ”

Wu Miao saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, and hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Qin sent me all the way and worked hard all the way. Today, all the toast leaders have come to wash the dust for the Qincha. Qin Cha will be toasted by us first, and as for business, we can talk about it later. Yes? ”

Wu Miao smiled and gave Yun Xuan a look, and Yun Thorn Shi immediately stood up. With a smile, he pulled out the silver knife from his waist. The knife was sharp and shimmering.

In front of the hall is a vermilion red case. On the table was a large bamboo tray with a roasted browned and shiny whole sheep. The whole sheep here is a two-year-old lamb with the head and hooves cut off. Remove the internal organs. After brushing with egg yolk, brine, turmeric, cumin powder, pepper, flour and other pastes, it is baked in a hot naan pit, and the meat is full of aroma. It makes people salivate at the sight of it.

Yun Tingshi used a silver knife to cut off a few pieces of the fattest lamb loin, put them on a plate and sent them to Hong Seyan with a smile on his face, and said: "Hong Yushi, try this roasted whole sheep, this is a local delicacy!" ”

The mutton was steaming hot, and it had not yet been delivered to the front. A rich smell of meat came to his face, but Hong Seyan did not show due awe when he saw that the toast leaders reprimanded him. He was even more annoyed in his heart, and as soon as he saw Yun Tingshi offering mutton, he immediately took advantage of the topic and reprimanded: "Now that the Holy Lord has issued a 'ban on slaughter', don't you know that you are a member of the imperial court?" What is the sin of disobeying the divine decree? Pull it down! ”

Yun Thorn Shi was dismissed by him in public, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Damn, when the official set up a banquet to welcome you yesterday, the table was full of wine and meat, and I didn't see you so righteous and strict!" ”

However, in front of everyone, of course, he was not easy to refute, so he had to obey his orders, waved his hand, and asked someone to bring down the whole roasted sheep.

Hong Seyan pointed to the wine and meat on the table and said, "Remove all the meat!" The sage's promulgation of the 'ban on slaughter' is a show of compassion for all living beings, and we, as court officials, should set an example. It is no wonder that you dare to turn a deaf ear to the will of the saints......"

Hong Seyan pointed his finger slowly, reprimanded non-stop, pointed his finger to one place, and his voice suddenly stopped.

He saw a girl, this girl was wearing a moon-white blouse, red shoulders, a short embroidered waist around the waist, wide legs and blue trousers like a skirt, her body was as light as a cloud of the moon, her red head was wrapped around her black braids, and the snow-white tassels under the flower turban were brushed on her coquettish face, her face was like a full moon, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her lips were like a pair of delicate petals, she was a pretty barbarian girl.

The girl was standing behind the guests in the first seat, and Hong Seyan looked at the crowd in front of her, not noticing that there was such a lovely beauty beside her.

The white-robed girl bent her waist slightly, and was talking to the red-chested man sitting on the seat, and when she finished speaking, she smiled charmingly, stood up, and walked out briskly. Hong Seyan's greedy eyes chased the girl's light back until the girl completely disappeared at the door, then she reluctantly withdrew her gaze and stared at the man again.

He didn't know whether the unusually pretty girl was the concubine or daughter of the middle-aged man, but he already had the greed to take her into his room. Miss Yan'er is active by nature, and when she heard that her eldest brother had gone to Yunjun City to meet Qincha instead of her father, she pestered him to come with her.

Just now, she chatted for a while with several female dependents of the governor Wu Miao in the back house, and wanted to go to the streets to wander around, so she deliberately ran to talk to her eldest brother, but she didn't expect to be looked at by Hong Seyan and actually started her idea.

Hong Seyan kept his lustful thoughts in his heart for the time being, and continued to put on official authority, asking people to remove all meat. This official banquet was originally dominated by big fish and meat, and once the meat was withdrawn, what was left on the banquet? Is it impossible for everyone to turn into rabbits and munch on a basket of grass and robbs?

As soon as the Tusi leaders saw that this Qin Cha was so unkind, they all didn't like it, and before the third round of drinking, they left one after another, not caring about Hong Seyan's increasingly ugly face, and the banquet broke up unhappily.

Hong Seyan saw everyone's rudeness in his eyes, and secretly hated in his heart, just thinking about taking advantage of these toast leaders, and not to mention using the means used in Qiongjun to catch a toast or head man and slaughter them, and kill a hundred people!

……

"The officials here are too disagreeable, they all have no king's law, Wen Dudu, Yun Thorn History, you two can't be educated, and the blame can't escape!"

Hong Seyan walked into the back house with his hands behind his back, reprimanding the governor of the state and the assassin in an official tone all the way.

Yun Xuan said with a smile: "Hong Yushi, it has not been long since Benzhou was attached to the imperial court, and most of those officials and leaders are wild and untamable. Hong Yushi don't be angry, they are just wild by nature, and they don't understand the court system, but they don't mean to despise the superior. ”

Hong Seyan snorted heavily and said: "Ben Qin sent to inspect Yun County, and the officials of Yun County and the Tusi leaders of various tribes feasted Ben Qin Cha, this is an officialdom entertainment, and as a result, even female guests can openly walk around the hall, what kind of system is it?" ”

Yun Xuanqi said: "No, most of the toast leaders don't bring female dependents, and even if they do, they are placed in the back hall, how can they come to the front hall to have a good time?" ”

Hong Seyan said: "Why not? What Benchincha saw with his own eyes was the man in the first seat on the left side of the head, when the woman was standing behind him and talking, deaf to Benchincha's words. Well, she's about twenty-eight years old, and she's dressed in white......"

Wu Miao said "ah" lightly, patted his forehead and said: "I remember, that is the daughter of Xunyuetou, there is no big name, only a small name is called Yan'er, and she came with her eldest brother." ”

Wu Miao said with a smile on his face: "Hong Yushi, you misunderstood. If it was her, even if she came to meet the Qincha on behalf of Kaoru Toast, it was completely in line with the etiquette. Because in our place, the wives and daughters of the Tusi are all powerful, just like the officials of the imperial court.

If Tusi dies and his son is still young, Tunu (Toast's wife) can be regent. If Tusi does not have a son, the daughter can also inherit the position of Toast, and the sons of other Tusi can also be recruited to inherit the position of Toast. Therefore, Yan'er's entry and exit from the main hall is not an unruly matter. ”

"The daughter of the Kaoru Moon Head?"

Hong Seyan secretly remembered this name in his heart, chewed it twice, and suddenly felt a little familiar, he thought about it carefully, suddenly remembered it, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "Ah! Ben Chin cha remembered that I had seen him in Qiongjun. Xunyue is a toast in your Yun County, why didn't he come to see Ben Qincha, but instead called his children? (To be continued......)
