0149 The old thing is making waves again
In the Qinghuafang Jinwu Guard Office, Yifu Zhonglang will arrange day and night patrol matters, and today is particularly busy. This is because from today onwards, many of the Jinwuwei soldiers who were originally on duty in the quarantine ban were withdrawn from Ouchi and placed in the nearby Qinghuafang.
With so many colleagues suddenly pouring in, it is inevitable that the Qinghuafang official office will not be able to accommodate it. The confusion of personnel is still secondary, mainly the official positions have also become disorganized.
Relatively speaking, the generals in the ban on duty are generally one or two levels higher than those who patrol outside, and they are expelled from the ban on duty and leisure to the busy community, and there is a gap in their hearts, and then they are drunk by people who are lower than their official positions, and their mood is naturally not good.
All kinds of friction and disputes have made the entire Qinghuafang official office chaotic, and the street drums have been sounding for a long time, and the patrol matters in the night have not been arranged.
In addition to the official position of the street envoy, Chen Mingzhen also served as the general of Yifu Zuolang, and was originally the top general of Yifu, but now both the official position and the loose rank are a little insufficient, and he is worried and emotional, so he does not want to get involved in these personnel disputes.
No matter what the government arranged, the night patrol was always his job as a street envoy, so he led a group of street disciples to prepare for a patrol first.
As soon as he went out, he heard a shout in front of the door, "Lord Lang, Lord Lang......"
Chen Mingzhen turned his head to look, but saw that his slave was being controlled by the guards in front of the official office, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he stepped forward and slashed his hand with a whip, "Blind dog's eyes, even my family dares to make things difficult!" ”
The guard was transferred out of the ban, where did he know Chen Mingzhen's family, and when he saw the sneaky behavior of the person lingering in front of the official office, he arrested him, but he didn't dare to defend himself at this time, and obediently let the person go.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Mingzhen scolded the short-eyed guard a few more words, and then turned to look at his family and frowned and asked.
"Something strange happened at home, and the master's mother came to tell the lord of Lang with me, so that outsiders should not know about ......it."
The house slave approached Chen Mingzhen and whispered, signaling him to go to a remote place before hurriedly telling him in detail what happened at home.
Hearing such a strangeness, Chen Mingzhen was also shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, even when he called out to a group of street disciples to ride their horses and follow him straight to the home farming industry. Although there is a curfew in Shendu City, it is naturally just a void for them, the generals of the Jinwu Guard.
The group rushed to the colony workshop, it was already dark, Chen Mingzhen made people call out to the martial marquis and the fang ding in the workshop, called to open the door of the workshop, and ordered the entourage to wait outside the workshop, and he hurriedly entered the workshop and entered the house.
There is still a strong smell of feces in Quli Chen's house, and it has spread to the neighbors, and there is no shortage of idlers in the neighborhood jumping their feet in the night and scolding this family for stewing and eating?
Hearing these shouts and scolding, Chen Mingzhen was in a worse mood, and rode a few horses back and forth to scold the idlers who were talking in the night, and stayed until it was quiet before returning home.
"Lord Lang is finally back, and the concubine is really panicking......"
When the husband returned to the house, the mother of the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Chen Mingzhen back into the middle hall.
Although there were already house slaves who told in detail, when Chen Mingzhen walked into the room and saw the hall full of jewels, he still couldn't help but gasp, "This, these are all those dung workers left?" ”
There are a number of gold, silver, pearls and jade utensils placed in the hall, the material is already extremely precious, and the shape is even more exquisite and abnormal, and it can be seen at a glance that it is not ordinary.
"And that's just part of it, the backyard family is still washing ......"
The mother of the Chen family said worriedly, and there was no lack of suspicion and greed looking at Chen Mingzhen, "Is there someone who is in the position of the lord of Yinglang, and I am afraid that I will not be accepted if I come to the door without taking the liberty ......?"
"What do you foolish woman know!"
Chen Mingzhen scolded irritably, although his official position is indispensable for gray income, but if someone pulls gold and silver goods to his house in a car, it is absolutely impossible, maybe it is possible to mix with the power of the general Qiu Shenxian.
Although these utensils have been washed, there is still a foul smell that is difficult to hide, but the charming luster makes people subconsciously ignore these, Chen Mingzhen stepped forward and picked up a few utensils to observe carefully for a while, and her face became more serious, "This, this is a forbidden weapon!" How did it get into my house? Who sent it? ”
found that these things were all strange treasures that were only forbidden in the forbidden world, and Chen Mingzhen was even more cold, only to feel that a strong aura of conspiracy was about to overwhelm him.
He asked his family what the origin of the dung workers was, but the family really couldn't answer a reason, the dung workers were a cheap job that was not pleasant, and no one would have imagined that they would carry priceless jewelry into other people's homes. In fact, no one would do this kind of thing.
However, the Chen family was not without gains, they were vigilant and followed, and also heard that the dung workers went out of the city from Anxi Gate, and the gate supervisor still had an impression of those people, who were led out of the city by the Gong Gate of Shi Yongfang.
"Shi Yongfang Gong Family...... Luoyang Linggong Heiming? ”
After Chen Mingzhen heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, this matter was so bewitching, he really couldn't sort out a clue for a while, in line with caution, "These forbidden weapons must not be left at home!" Hurry up and pack it up and bury it outside the ...... at night."
"But, but ......"
When the woman heard this, her face obviously showed reluctance, she was not a rich family, and even if it was a real wealthy family, it was difficult for anyone to treat money like dung!
"Stupid! Even if the goods are good, they must also have their lives! ”
Chen Mingzhen was sweating at this time, so she simply went to the backyard in person, and watched her family with a knife to pick up these lost goods.
The woman thought that it was not easy for the family to manage inside and outside, so she secretly instructed the maid to put away a few inconspicuous utensils in the middle hall and hide them, and the maid was also clever, picking up some small gold and silver utensils in front of the master mother and hiding them in the inner house, and after going out, she shook a few beautifully shaped coins on the ground in the corner of the wall and crushed them into the soil with her toes.
Rao is heart was full of a sense of crisis, but when all the utensils were collected, Chen Mingzhen was not only frightened, but also secretly reluctant. After pondering for a while, he commanded again: "Isn't there an abandoned mansion in Nanqu?" Immerse yourself in the middle of nowhere......
After giving these orders, another Jinwuwei street disciple came to the door and shouted, saying that another team of patrol officers had gone out into the street. In addition to riding on the street, the Jinwuwei patrol also secretly had military attachés to follow and monitor, Chen Mingzhen did not dare to leave his post for a long time, not to mention that he was already a thief, and he didn't want to be seen as suspicious, so after a stern order, he hurried out again.
Not to mention Chen Mingzhen's restlessness at the moment, at this moment, there is also a tense atmosphere in the Gong family house in Yongfang, Luobei.
The Gong family's mansion is far more magnificent than Chen Mingzhen's mansion, and at this time, the head of the family, Gong Siming, and his relatives and cronies are also gathered in the hall, and several slaves are pressing on the ground outside the hall and beating them fiercely, and they are stuffed with hemp balls in their mouths to prevent them from screaming.
The two house slaves hurriedly walked into the middle hall and said with a serious expression, "I have found out, there is no He's crude medicine shop in Beishi......"
When Gong Siming heard this, his face became even more ugly. Although Beishi is under his rule, it has its own independent city supervision and management, and there are thousands of shops and frequent personnel movements, so it is not easy to search for a specific target, not to mention that he simply does not have enough time now.
"The concubine and the concubine only revealed the internal illness to the Qiumen women, and that person came to the door with this, it should be undoubtedly the Qiu family......"
Mrs. Gong sat in the hall, wanting to confess her internal illness to the public, and there was a deep sense of shame on her face, but because she knew that the situation was serious, she didn't dare to hide it.
"I can know who is not Qiu if it is so secret......"
Gong Siming's expression was solemn, and he clutched a note full of words in his hand, which was found from the medicine cartridge sent by the person who came to the door in the afternoon, and the content written on it was even more terrifying.
The note secretly told Gong Siming in the tone of Qiu Shenyun that Xu Jingzhen, who was exiled to Xiuzhou for rebellion in the old years, was secretly escorted back to Shendu City, and the Imperial Court Criminal Department was already collecting evidence of collusion between the Gong family and Xu Jingye in the old years, and it was only because of the extensive implication that they did not act immediately, but the Gong family and others have been secretly monitored, and as soon as Xu Jingzhen entered the capital, the Gong family and others were immediately arrested!
"General Qiu is still a believer, and he is willing to take the risk to inform my family at this critical moment, so that I and Qiu Er ...... in vain."
Gong Liu, the son of the Gong family, sighed, but halfway through the words, his father Gong Heiming patted the case and said, "What do you know!" Qiu is extremely treacherous, I mistook him to accuse Zhang Xianggong...... Alas, he warned today, and he was afraid that he would be implicated by my family, but what he said in the letter was probably not good......"
In addition to informing of this life-and-death crisis, the letter also provided a way out, telling Gong Siming to secretly kill the criminal Fu Youyi, who is still being imprisoned in Luoyang County, and then flee from the capital at night, and arrange for Chen Mingzhen, the envoy of Jinwuwei Street, to escort their family out of the city, and escape as quickly as possible, the farther away, the better!
The Gong family did have something to do with Xu Jingye in the old years, after all, Xu Jingye's momentum was so great back then, and there was Prime Minister Pei Yan in Shendu City who had an ambiguous attitude and was killed by the Empress Dowager Wu, and betting left and right was the norm for them to make a living.
But so long has passed, the Gong family did it secretively at that time, and several purges after the rebellion was put down were not implicated, but when the clouds have dispersed, who would have thought that the old things would make waves again?
The question in front of Gong Siming now is, is Qiu Shenxian trustworthy?
After the court meeting a few days ago, Qiu Shenyun went to cater to the Emperor without a bottom line, which also made Zhang Guangfu, the prime minister who was persuaded by Gong Siming and thought that his person was worth wooing, angry, and sent someone to scold Gong Siming.
Now it seems that Qiu Shenqian still chooses to follow the God Emperor closely, rather than having any close contact with the foreign ministers. So did this warning point to the Gong family a dead end, or was it a rescue to the Gong family because they were worried that their previous contacts might affect themselves?
