Du Hongsheng left Kyoto and went to southern Xinjiang to take up a post, Qin Xiao knew that in the eyes of the officials, Du Hongsheng was like an overnight tea leaf that had been brewed with tea, and he could throw it as far as he could, no one would care whether Du Hongsheng went to southern Xinjiang to live or die, and he could send him away far away, and he would not be upset if he was out of sight.

When he was in Xiling, he didn't have much interest in officialdom, and he didn't know much about it.

But in just a few days, he saw the cruelty of officialdom.

As Du Hongsheng said, if you say goodbye this time, I am afraid that I will die in southern Xinjiang.

However, for Qin Xiao, entering the Beijing trio, Du Hongsheng left Kyoto alive, and now the only thing he worries about is Han Yunong.

Zhu Dongshan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, came out to see Qin Xiao in person, only saying that the case was being tried, and Han Yunong, as an important witness, should not see anyone in the near future, and his attitude was gentle when he spoke, and he only let Qin Xiao stay at the inn first, and if there was progress in the case, he would send someone over to inform him.

Qin Xiao waited at the inn for a few days, so naturally it was impossible for someone from the Criminal Department to come over to inform him of the progress of the case.

He went to the Criminal Department on a special trip, wanting to meet Han Yunong, and by the way to learn about the progress of the case, Han Yunong came out one day earlier, and he and Han Yunong could leave Kyoto one day earlier.

The town of Wono is home to the old headquarters of General Kuroba, and although the conditions there are bitterly cold, they are much better than Kyoto, which is full of traps.

Qin Xiao didn't care, but he had to think about Qiu Niang.

He also didn't know if Qiu Niang had bought a new cruise ship, let alone if he had gone to the river of the Taiping Society to solicit tourists.

Qin Xiao also took advantage of the past few days to recuperate, and in addition, it was not good to go to the Gu family to disturb again, after all, Gu Baiyi had to be on an errand during the day, and before Fan Wenzheng's case was thoroughly understood, the Kyoto Mansion was also on duty, and Gu Baiyi was often on duty at night, and Qiu Niang was the only one in the family.

If a man runs to the Gu family twice in three days, and he still runs to the Gu family with only one woman, he will inevitably be talked about.

Recently, the most circulated in the market is naturally the case of Fan Wenzheng, the secretary of the military department.

The small people in the market are also afraid of the Criminal Department, so they naturally will not say that the Criminal Department is not, since Fan Wenzheng was detained by the Criminal Department, everyone naturally talked about Fan Wenzheng's culpability.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Kyoto, he still felt a lot of emotion, and that was that Kyoto was really well-informed.

There are many tea shops near Sipingfang Changle Inn, and there will be people drinking tea and drinking in it every day, and when gossiping, some people get together and comment on what is happening in various places.

In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, Xiling had been controlled by the Xiling family, but no one dared to say on the table that the empire had lost Xiling, but now people know that the Xiling territory of the Tang Dynasty really fell into the hands of the Xiling rebels, and the Black Feather General, who forced back 100,000 Wutuo iron horsemen, died for the country.

Amid the rumors of the people of Kyoto, the rebellion in Seirin became more and more apparent.

Jiayuguan was closed, and the news from Xiling was long overdue, but it still came after all.

So the people in Kyoto soon knew that the Xiling family rebelled, murdered General Kuroba, and colluded with the Utuos to occupy the entire Xiling.

The Xiling family colluded with each other during the Vedic Rebellion of that year, and sat back and watched the bloody battle of the Vedas of the Duhu Army, if it were not for the Black Feather General Snow Night to capture the Khan, Xiling would have become a meal on the plate of the Vedic people.

Although the court was gracious and pardoned the Xiling family, these ungrateful people have always been worried that the court will settle accounts after the autumn, and secretly have eyebrows with the Vedas, and even want to take refuge in the Vedas to compete with the imperial court.

So everyone knows that the Xiling family set a trap, pretended to fight, and lured the general out of the customs, and after the black feather general took the famous black feather night crow to Xiling, he soon discovered the conspiracy of the Xiling family, but unfortunately there were no soldiers available in his hands, so he was killed by the Xiling family.

As for why the Xiling family rebelled and even killed General Hei Yu, some people also gave reasonable reasons.

So the Xiling family joined forces to kill the Black Feather General, in fact, it was to show loyalty to the Vedic people, after the murder of the Black Feather General, the Xiling family got the support of the Uta people, and blatantly rebelled in Xiling.

This kind of saying first spread in Kyoto, and then spread around Kyoto.

But to take refuge in the Vedas, one needs to vote for a name.

The Tang people hated the most by the Vedic people were General Black Feather.

Because Fan Wenzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was derelict in his duties, but failed to fulfill his duties in his position, the Changsheng Army was not transferred out of the customs for a long time, resulting in no soldiers in the hands of the general, and the Xiling family also saw that the Changsheng Army was not by the general's side, so they dared to start.

Therefore, the culprit who led to the murder of General Hei Yu and then led to the loss of Xiling City and land was Fan Wenzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the officials of the Ministry of War who were eating vegetarian meals under him.

General Black Feather is mighty, why can he be killed by the Xiling family?

The answer is also simple.

Therefore, the people of Kyoto and the world hoped that the imperial court would severely punish Fan Wenzheng and other military officials, and ask them to pay the price for losing Xiling because of their dereliction of duty.

The students of various academies in Kyoto even jointly wrote a letter asking the saint to execute Fan Wenzheng and other officials, so that they could give an explanation to the people of the world.

The loss of Xiling, and the martyrdom of the famous general of the empire, General Hei Yu, naturally made people indignant.

The sage was also extremely angry about this, and ordered the criminal department to thoroughly investigate the case of Pham Van Zheng, so the general died for the country and was the tragic hero of the empire, and Fan Wenzheng and other cadres were moths of the empire, and the sage was wise and wise, and resolutely held the guilty accountable.

Qin Xiao knew that Fan Wenzheng and many officials of the Ministry of War were already certain to die.

However, the prestige of the saint was not damaged, precisely because the criminal department acted quickly, and people felt that the saint punished the culprit and was wise and wise.

Qin Xiao listened to the righteous indignation and scolding Fan Wenzheng in the tea shop, and praised the sage for his wisdom, and his mood was complicated.

Gu Baiyi's expectation was not bad at all, the news of the loss of Xiling spread in the empire, and someone had to come out to apologize for the crime to face the condemnation of the military and the people of the world, but Fan Wenzheng became this chess piece, from the beginning he only reprimanded Fan Wenzheng and others for dereliction of duty, and later even condemned Fan Wenzheng and others as traitors.

The people in the teahouse and wine shop are even more eyebrows dancing, singing praises to the wisdom of the saint.

Qin Xiao watched coldly, for him, who knew the inside story well, instead of a trace of joy, there was a kind of helpless sadness.

On February 15 of the sixth year of Tiansheng, after less than half a month of trial by the Criminal Department, the imperial court finally issued the first clear edict on the case of Fan Wenzheng, Fan Wenzheng and the other thirteen officials of the Ministry of War neglected their duties and did not transfer troops out of the customs, resulting in Xiling being occupied by the rebels, and the crime was extremely heinous, and 14 officials, including Fan Wenzheng, were sentenced to death.

When the message was spread, the people of Kyoto were jubilant, and some even set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Compared with the transfer of troops to quell the rebellion, Fan Wen is alive or dead Qin Xiao really doesn't care, but it is precisely on the issue of quelling the chaos that the imperial court has not issued any will, and in people's discussions, they only hear their joy at the imminent execution of Fan Wenzheng and other officials, and no one mentions that the imperial court should send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

Sitting in the corner of the tea shop, listening to the laughter of a group of people, Qin Xiao was excited.

Fan Wenzheng really deserves to die

, but his death could not solve the problem of Xiling at all.

Qin Xiao thought that it was the prince of a wealthy family in Kyoto who was indulging in his horses, but when the horses approached, he found that the horses were all Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes.

The horses came too fast, the pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, an old man with bad legs and feet stumbled under his feet, and had fallen on the street, several children were even more frightened and cried, seeing that the few riding Taoists did not have the slightest sign of reining in their horses, if they rushed over, they would definitely trample the old man under the horse's hooves.

Look at the sky outside, he is bored and lazy, thinking that he has not been to Gu Baiyi's side for several days, now that Fan Wenzheng's case is almost finalized, he really wants to go over to Gu Baiyi to drink and chat, and also want to know if Qiu Niang has bought a boat.

He paid for the tea, and before he left the tea shop, he heard the neighing of horses outside, and he was a little puzzled, and went out, following the prestige, only to see a few tall horses on the street rushing towards this side, and several stalls on the street had been scattered in all directions, and the shouts were endless.

Qin Xiao was annoyed in his heart, rushed over, picked up a small chair, saw the first horse rushing over, and shouted, "Get out of the way." The small chair in his hand was thrown at the head of the horse, and it was smashed on the head of the horse, and the horse was frightened, and with a long neigh, a man stood up, and the Taoist priest on the horseback was caught off guard, and with a cry of surprise, he had fallen off the horse.

The horses behind them suddenly reined in their horses, turned over and dismounted, hurriedly rushed forward, and shouted: "Master....!" He lifted up the priest who had fallen off his horse.

Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that these Taoist priests were even more arrogant than the children of wealthy families, could it be that they were not afraid to trample on the street to death?

People only know how to dodge, where to take care of the old man, there are two stalls are still hurriedly cleaned up, they are worried that the stalls will be knocked over, and there is no guy to eat.

A Taoist priest had already pointed at Qin Xiao and said loudly: "Master, it's him, I saw that he took a chair and smashed it over." ”

The old Taoist priest immediately looked over at Qin Xiao, and saw that Qin Xiao was dressed in cloth, he was young, and he was obviously just an ordinary person, his eyes showed fierceness, and he sneered: "Tie him up for me." ”

The Taoist priest who was lifted up was in his early fifties, with a long beard fluttering, wearing a gossip robe, and a Taoist temple on his head, but he also had a sense of fairy spirit.

After the old Taoist priest was helped up, he was furious and scolded: "Who smashed the horse of this Dao? Get out of here. ”

Several Taoist priests immediately stepped forward, and one of them pointed at Qin Xiao and scolded: "The bold dog is crumb, and he will be caught before he can be restrained, and he will kneel down for the Taoist master." ”

The people around were all watching from afar, no one dared to approach, and their expressions were different.

"Dogs who are bold in the daytime, indiscriminate on the streets and hurt people during the day, is there any royal law?" Qin Xiao stood upright, his face was cold, and he was really annoyed in his heart.

Being in Kyoto, he already had a grudge against others, Qin Xiao didn't want to cause trouble anymore, but these Taoist priests were unscrupulous and rampant, he really couldn't stand it, and he just shot to save people, at this time, the Taoist priest was abusive, and Qin Xiao naturally didn't have a good face for them.
