Chapter 21: Twists and turns
Lu Li scolded: "Whoever you say will investigate!" That's the county, the entire Chang'an County is the largest except for the county, your father and I are just a small household, how to check people's homes, this is taboo. ”
Lu Zifei flattered: "I know that my father can pass five levels and kill six generals alone, so there must be something outstanding, so you can help your son with this, right?" This is about my reputation and Xiaoyun's reputation, do you really just watch it? ”
Hearing that it was about the two sons, Lu Li was anxious, "Don't be a sycophant, what's going on, you've confused me, come back and ask some inexplicable questions, make it clear, I need to know what happened first, and why it happened to Xiaoyun again." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Tell me first, why are the habits of the alien race different from that of our Han people when they drink water. ”
Lu Li said impatiently: "Because they have been grazing outside for a long time, they must not only guard against the invasion of wild beasts, but also guard against the attacks of other tribes, and they can be ready to fight at any time when they are half-squatting, and they can squat down directly to face a sudden attack like our Han people, you may not be able to react and be killed, this is a long-term habit, and the soldiers of the Liao and Dangxiang people drink water." ”
This can be explained, everything turned out to be like this, but the Lu family's black pot was a little wronged.
Lu Li saw that his son didn't speak, "What are you doing there, you guys, you said!" Lu Zifei sneered, his father came out of Shaanxi Mandarin in a hurry, but he couldn't speak it now, and there were still some places that were unknown.
Lu Zifei said: "Don't worry, it's just some of my own judgments now, do you know the situation of the Liao State and the Western Xia royal family?" ”
Lu Li said, "The more you say, the more I don't understand, how does this have something to do with Liao and Western Xia, the situation in Liao may be a little more complicated, and Western Xia is relatively simple, what do you want to know, tell me, I don't know, you're going to check books, right?" ”
Lu Zifei said, "I want to know how much do you know about the princes or nobles of Liao or Western Xia who are over fifteen years old and below twenty-five years old. ”
Lu Li recalled for a while and said: "I am sure that there is no such a big prince in Liao, in the third year of your birth, Yelu Hongji, the crown prince of Liao, was born, this is a report from the imperial court at that time, I remember taking a special look, smaller than you, bigger than Xiaoyun, and the other princes are even younger, not in line with the age you said, other nobles have to go to the state capital to check, but it is very suspenseful, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia has four sons, the former prince Li Ningming, the age does not match, the current prince Ning Lingge's age meets what you said, However, as soon as the Songxia War came, he had been supervising the country in Xingqing Mansion, Li Xueli died early, and the remaining one seemed to be Li Ali, this prince heard that he had lived with his mother Miyang since he was a child, and there were not many people who had seen him far away from Xingqing Mansion, I knew so much, what are you asking for. ”
Lu Zifei met the requirements of only one of these people mentioned by his father, that is, Li Ali, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out, now it can be determined that Liu Yang is not the son of Liu Xiancheng, but also a party member or a Liao person, check where Liu Xiancheng was more than ten years ago, then it can be clear, now the Shaanxi transfer envoy is a huge person, if he is in Chang'an City, it will be much easier to say, shouted, after Huzi came in, Lu Zifei said, "Huzi, you work hard, this will go to Chang'an City overnight, Inquire if the huge person has come back from Weizhou, if he comes back, I will write you a letter to him, and if he doesn't come back, forget it. ”
Lu Zifei wrote on the spot, Lu Li stood behind and watched, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, his son's various inferences were connected, it really seemed to be like that, he had the impression that this was a suicide case, and the county magistrate misjudged and let his son take the blame, now it seems that it is not so simple, it involves the diplomacy of the two countries, mainly because the Great Song Dynasty is still in a weak position, and one bad is the great crime of exterminating the nine clans.
What Lu Zifei wrote in the letter is mainly to inquire about what position Liu Xiancheng's eldest brother holds in Kaifeng Mansion, this is the key, a small county can't afford to make big waves, if a huge person can come, he can suppress Chang'an Zhixian, the county may change in a few years, the county is different, it is possible to do it for a lifetime, in the intricate, old tree root like the relationship network, Guojianglong may not be able to suppress the head snake, he must do the worst, Pang Ji is his only and biggest reliance.
Lu Zifei said, "Father, who is this Chang'an Zhixian person?" How about being a person. ”
Lu Li said, "This Chang'an Zhixian is called Wang Yu, and he is the grandson of Prime Minister Wang Qinruo of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and he is a scholar, which is still more fair." ”
Lu Zifei said, "You have also read this letter, tomorrow when Huzi comes back, I will go to Chang'an County Ya, first wash away the grievances of Xiaoyun's murder, and the rest depends on the will of God, right?" We don't cause trouble, and we're not afraid of things, their Liu family admits that it's best, if they don't admit it, then confront the court, is my father afraid? ”
Lu Li said casually: "I didn't get admitted to Xiucai back then, I became a Hucao by myself, you know how much I paid, your father and I have experienced a lot of winds and waves, you let it go, don't worry about the safety of me and your mother, my father doesn't support my son, who else will believe you, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, I'm better than a rabbit, right?" ”
"You father and son don't look at the time, what time is it now, and you're still in the mood to count the rabbits here, Xiao Fei drank this bowl of sobering soup, hurry up and take a bath, I'll help you warm up the water, what can't you talk about tomorrow." Lu Zifei's mother came to bring him sobering soup, her red eyes betrayed her, Lu Zifei stood up and held his mother's receiver and said, "My mother heard it outside, don't worry, we have a calculus or not, and there is evidence in hand, there will be no danger, but it is so big that my mother still worries..."
"You are all meat that fell from your mother's body, how can your mother not worry, I don't want you to be rich and rich, I just want your brothers and sisters to be safe, healthy and happy." Lu Zifei hugged his mother, comforted him softly, and gave his father a look, Lu Li got up and took his wife back to the house, Lu Zifei drank a bowl of sobering soup in one go, and felt a lot more comfortable.
Stripped naked and lay in the bathtub, Lu Zifei still had to plan tomorrow's things in his mind, at this time Huzi in Chang'an County had an accident, and was arrested by the people of the Yamen of the transfer envoy, Lu Zifei asked him to inquire, he went directly to the door of the Yamen to inquire, and if he didn't arrest him, he searched for a letter on him and handed it to their heads, and the Yacha saw that it was for the transfer envoy, and he couldn't confirm it for a while, he asked Huzi, "Who are you?" Do you know the Transporter? ”
Huzi said: "I am delivering a letter for my son-in-law" "Who is your son-in-law?" How do you know the transfer of adults?"
Huzi continued, "My son-in-law's name is Lu Zifei, and he met a huge man on the battlefield of Song and Xia in Weizhou, oh, and there are two adults, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, and the other sons said that if the letter is in the hands of a huge man, he will naturally know everything." ”
Yacha saw that Huzi said Zhenzhen, and it was not easy to judge, so he thought for a while to let people look at Huzi, he went in alone to deliver a letter to the huge people, and when he arrived in the backyard, he was stopped, "You are not guarding at the gate, what are you doing here, is this the place where you should come?" ”
Yacha was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, and he took the letter in his hand and said tremblingly, "My lord, there is a person outside the door, saying that their son and the huge man met and sent a letter to the huge man, I asked the messenger to wait at the door, and brought the letter in." ”
The guard looked at the light in the huge man's study and said, "Wait a minute, write to me." After the guard knocked on the door, there was a voice from inside, "Didn't I say it, I'll sleep when I'm done, you go to sleep first, don't wait for me." ”
The guard said, "Your Excellency, someone outside the door has brought you a letter, saying that it is your old friend, do you want to take a look?" ”
As soon as Pang Ji heard that it was not his wife, he said, "Bring it in", "Put it on the table first, you wait outside." ”
After writing the fold, Pang Ji picked up the letter and flipped through it casually, and began to narrate it like a story, but then it was wrong, if this is true, it is not easy to deal with! It's a hot potato in anyone's hands, and after reading the letter and seeing the final payment, he knows what kind of old man it is, it's the little prodigy at the beginning! Since he wrote to himself, it was eight or nine to ten.
After the guards came in, Pang Ji said, "You let the messenger come in, and then you take my warrant to the library to check what Cheng Tiansheng of Chang'an County has served there for about twenty-five years, and by the way, see what kind of official position his eldest brother has in Kaifeng Mansion." ”
Can't start a war, this is the bottom line of Pang's origin, Shaanxi Mansion can't afford a war, now the economy and politics are on the verge of collapse, things must be controlled within their control, he is afraid that Lu Zifei is young and ignorant, and his rash actions will cause an uncontrollable situation.
After Huzi came in, it was a little unnatural, it was the first time he had seen such a big official, Pang Ji motioned for him to sit down, one-tenth of Huzi's butt fell on the chair, ready to get up angrily to answer the question, Pang Ji asked, "What has your son been doing lately?"
Huzi quickly stood up and stammered: "Childe also came home in the past two days, and today I went to visit his former enlightenment teacher, and I didn't do anything again." ”
Pang Ji smiled and said, "The little thing didn't come to see me when he returned to Chang'an, it seems that my face is still not big enough."
Huzi didn't know what to say, the two of them fell silent, and Pang Ji continued to deal with the official documents.
After half an hour, the guard came back, Pang Ji asked him to say directly, and the guard sorted out his thoughts and said: "Liu County's name is Liu Ruoyun, Tiansheng has served as the chief bookkeeper in Jingyuan County for twenty-five years, and Tiansheng has been the chief bookkeeper in Chang'an County for thirty years, and when he came back, he brought a woman and his own son, the details of which were not mentioned, his eldest brother's name was Liu Ruochen, and Tiansheng was a staff member under the Huanqing Road Envoy for twenty-five years, and now he is a staff member for Zhao Zongshi, the king of Yin Pu of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Liu Ruoyun went to Jingyuan County to be the chief bookkeeper was also arranged by his eldest brother. ”
Trouble! Puwang Zhao Zongshi is much more tricky than what Xixia, the prince of the party is much trickier, no, he will go to Chang'an County early tomorrow morning, otherwise he will be pierced by this little thing this day.
