599. The heavens are on their part
Under the grateful eyes of everyone in the Zhang family, Zhao Dongting left the Zhang family with Kumano and Cai Weixuan.
Outside, Yu Quandong saw that he was leaving, and he stopped talking. They all knelt on the ground and trembled, never daring to raise their heads.
The people of Zhangjia Village around them all looked at Zhao Dongting with extremely puzzled and respectful eyes.
When night fell, Zhao Dongting returned to the outside of the palace.
Xiyi took several personal guards and horses, and hurried to Zhangjia Village under the guidance of the catcher.
That Fu Dutou's official position is low, and he doesn't know the Holy Sword Order of the Hall of Glory, which is equivalent to the second grade, as the governor of Leizhou, and a close minister who is appreciated by Zhao Dongting, he knows it, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.
When Xiyi arrived outside Zhang Chenglin's house, there were more people around the door than when Zhao Dongting was there.
Seeing Xiyi, who was wearing a scarlet official robe and a long-winged hat, even the villagers of Zhangjia Village immediately stopped whispering and showed an extremely respectful look.
The official robes of the Song Dynasty officials had a specific system, green above the ninth grade, scarlet above the sixth grade, and purple and red above the fourth grade.
Since the imperial court moved to Changsha, Xiyi can be said to be the only official who can wear a scarlet official robe and a silverfish bag on his waist in Leizhou.
Even if Leizhou supervised and sentenced him, because he was slightly inferior to him, he was only from the sixth grade, so he couldn't wear the scarlet official robe, let alone the silverfish bag given by the emperor.
Fortunately, Zhao Dongting asked him to speak in a voice when he went to call Xiyi, and these people, who could not be sure of Xiyi's identity, could also guess that it was Lord Zhizhou who came.
Immediately, all the people around him knelt on the ground, "I've seen Lord Zhizhou." ”
Fu Du, who was kneeling on the ground and his legs were numb, trembled slightly.
I didn't expect Lord Zhizhou to really come, and it came so quickly. What kind of identity does the boy in brocade have that can scare people to death?
Hong Wutian walked out of the house with Yu Quandong and the others.
Zhang Chenglin and the others all heard the shouting outside just now, and they also knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted Xiyi.
Don't talk about Zhizhou, just the county master of Haikang County is already a great official for these people. Too many people may not be able to see such a big official in their own lives in their lives.
Seeing Hong Wutian, Xiyi hurriedly ran up with a shy smile, "Senior Hong, these guys who don't have long eyes have provoked you?" ”
Then he craned his neck and looked inside.
Hong Wutian still had a good impression of Xiyi's clever young man, and said softly: "That one has already gone back." You don't have to look. ”
Then he said to Zhang Chenglin: "Zhang Chenglin, tell Lord Zhizhou what happened to the two of you, and Lord Zhizhou will make the decision for you." ”
The servants of the Zhang family, who knelt next to Zhang Guangyao's corpse, were all trembling.
When their lord was alive, his prestige and status were far inferior to that of this lord of Zhizhou, who was favored by the emperor, not to mention that now the lord is dead. They knew they were going to suffer this time.
Zhang Chenglin kowtowed to Xiyi, and told Zhang Guangyao about occupying their land and wanting to rob their two daughters-in-law.
After hearing this, Xiyi's face showed anger, "Where is that light?" ”
Hong Wutian pointed to Zhang Guangyao's corpse on the ground and said with a smile: "Seeing Gongzi, he has been scared to death." ”
Xiyi was slightly stunned, then looked at Fu Dutou who was kneeling next to him, and frowned slightly, "Where are you?" How is it here? ”
Because there was time on the road, he didn't have time to ask the leader about the matter.
Fu Dutou was cowardly and did not dare to speak.
Hong Wutian said again: "I'm here to support Zhang Guangyao." As for whether there is anyone behind him, I learned that you have checked it. ”
Xiyi raised his face to Hong Wutian's ear with a shy face, "Senior Hong, you just mention a little junior, what does the emperor mean?" ”
Hong Wutian only said: "The emperor has never tolerated those who are corrupt and pervert the law. ”
Xiyi nodded, "That kid understands. ”
When he turned his head to look at Fu Du and the others, his expression became very cold, "Take off his official uniform, go to prison and wait for the government to interrogate him personally." The rest are caught quickly, all of them are dismissed, and they will never be hired in this life. ”
Several guards stepped forward, pulled Fu Du's head up, and stripped off his official robes three or two times.
This is a guy who eats. However, Fu Dutou did not dare to resist at all.
Most of the officials can crush people to death, not to mention, Xiyi's officials are a few grades higher than him, and they are the top bosses of his top boss.
After the official robe was torn off, Fu Dutou lost a lot of energy in an instant.
The catchers who were kneeling on the ground begged for mercy one after another, wanting to save their jobs, but they didn't get Xi Yi's attention.
Xiyi just looked at the Zhang family servants again, and said, "You all follow this mansion back to the mansion, and this mansion wants to see how many angry things your master has done over the years." ”
After speaking, he looked back at Hong Wutian and blinked his eyes.
Hong Wutian knew what he meant, and was already satisfied with the result, so he nodded lightly.
Although Zhang Guangyao's actions made Zhao Dongting extremely angry, it would not behead all these people.
Xiyi shook off his sleeve robe, "Take them all back to the mansion." ”
Several guards with swords escorted dozens of dejected catchers and dozens of slaves of the Zhang family, followed Xiyi and Hong Wutian, left the Zhang family, and returned to Haikang.
Zhang Chenglin took Zhang Xiaotao and the others to kneel on the ground again, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian." ”
The villagers of Zhangjia Village all knelt down.
The cries never stopped.
Yu Quandong and the leader of the Sea Dragon Gang followed behind.
At the entrance of the village, Hong Wutian stopped and said to Xiyi next to him: "This time, the Sea Dragon Gang Yu and the brothers have also made some efforts. ”
Xiyi has been an official for a few years, and after a little thought, he quickly understood Zhao Dongting's meaning, looked at Yu Quandong, and said politely: "This trip is thanks to the helper, Yu Gangmaster will take the brothers back first, and the official will reward him for his meritorious deeds later." ”
Yu Quandong was flattered and hurriedly surrendered: "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou." ”
He didn't care about the rewards of the imperial court, and he was already satisfied to be able to show his face in front of Lord Zhizhou.
It's just that in the end, he couldn't learn the identity of that Zhao Gongzi, which made him feel a little regretful. At this point, he also came back to his senses, Zhao Gongzi didn't want to be involved with their Sea Dragon Gang.
But what can he do?
I can only sigh lightly in my heart.
Some of them are backed by high branches, not that they can be easily climbed by climbing. In the past, he had a relationship with the government office, but he had a lot of closed-door soup.
The two groups of people divided into two groups outside Zhangjia Village, one towards the port and the other towards Haikang, and the dust was flying.
The neighbors outside Zhang Chenglin's house still hadn't left, and after Xiyi left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the neighbors asked Zhang Chenglin what was going on.
Some people also asked who the brocade-clothed boy with two fingers and a broken knife was.
It's just that Zhang Chenglin obviously can't answer.
He didn't dare to think that this brocade boy would be today.
Leizhou Palace.
Originally, Nuo had a big palace, because Yang Shufei and others left, although Zhizhou Xiyi also moved in after him, but it was undoubtedly still deserted.
No one dared to move in Zhao Dongting's dormitory, and when he returned to the dormitory, Mrs. Xu and Tie Liduan, who had rushed back to Haikang earlier, both walked out of the room.
At this time, Tie Li's injury had also recovered, and Zhao Dongting finally put his mind at ease when he saw this.
Before he could sleep, Xiyi rushed back to the mansion and put Fu Du and the first person in prison, and without interrogating him overnight, he hurried to see Zhao Dongting with Hong Wutian.
As soon as he saw Zhao Dongting, Xiyi knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen's rule is not strict, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”
Zhao Dongting smiled angrily, "You guy also gave me this set, if you condemn you because of this matter, you can't say in your heart that I am indifferent and ruthless?" ”
When Xiyi heard Zhao Dongting's words, he knew that the emperor didn't mean to be angry with him, so he smiled, "How dare Weichen!" ”
Zhao Dongting stepped forward and helped Xiyi up, "You were personally promoted to the court as an official by me, and in the future, this Leizhou will be handed over to you to take care of, you don't want people to gossip behind my back." Zhang Guangyao deceived the upper and lower levels, and could not be tolerated, and the Zhang family would copy it. Those big and small officials who are behind the scenes must not be let go, and the officials are strict, only in this way, there will be no mistakes in Leizhou in the future. Now that Leizhou is developing too fast, there are many people's minds that are alive, and you have to have more snacks. ”
Xiyi stopped laughing and nodded solemnly, "Weichen takes the order." ”
Zhao Dongting patted him on the shoulder again, but suddenly laughed again, "I'm going to leave Leizhou, and I'll have a few drinks with me, how about having no monarchs and ministers?" ”
"Okay."
Xiyi nodded.
He did not practice this wine for the king, but for his friends. In the future, the two are afraid that it will be difficult for them to meet again.
On this night, the biggest official of the Great Song Dynasty and the largest official of Leizhou, Panxi, sat on the roof, raised a glass to invite Mingyue, and drank to six people.
Recall, when Xiyi risked death to deliver the letter, it was still like yesterday.
Now Liu Hongyi is going to Jingjiang Mansion to take up a post, Xiyi is staying in Leizhou, Zhao Dongting will go to Changsha, and the day after tomorrow, whether they can see each other again in this life is uncertain.
