Chapter 520: Preparing for 'Military'
"Slow down, adults."
Zhao Liben lifted the placket of the official robe, crossed the threshold of more than four inches, tilted his shoulders outward, and respectfully retreated to the bottom of the steps.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Sun Shaozong's scarlet robe, and envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes Last year, he and Sun Shaozong were still on an equal footing.
However, as soon as this jealousy floated in his heart, he was forced to press down by Zhao Liben.
Now it's not as good as before, Sun Shaozong and Jia Yu are in collusion, if you really want to clean up his unwieldy general judgment, I'm afraid it's just a matter of one sentence!
Thinking of this, Zhao Liben's waist softened a little more, until he saw Sun Shaozong's back disappear into the mezzanine on the west side of the household registration office, then he breathed a sigh of relief, put on a full face of official authority, and turned around and scolded: "What went wrong with you, and it actually attracted the Lord Zhizhong to investigate in person?!" ”
"Your Excellency!"
The two officials in charge of the household registration record hurriedly shouted: "The villain has always been loyal to his duties, how can he ever ......?"
"Humph!"
Zhao Liben didn't bother to listen to this prevarication, flicked his sleeves, and sneered: "Lord Zhizhong's ability to see everything, who in this mansion doesn't know?" If there is really any mistake, there is no need for the two of you to do it yourself! ”
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked away with steady steps, leaving only two confused and frightened officials, speechless in front of the door.
But Sun Shaozong, who said that he left first, walked to the end of the road, looked back at the household registration office in the maple leaf, and his originally stretched brows couldn't help frowning tightly.
Although he didn't have too high expectations, he was still disappointed when he turned around the leaky household registration office.
a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere; Roofs with a distance and drop from the fence wall of less than one meter; a window that allows people to easily get in; Rusty door locks that open when stabbed......
That's it, but I also met a little official with a habit of cleanliness!
If you want to find any clues from it, it can be said that it is a fool's dream.
Helpless, Sun Shaozong could only sacrifice the last trick to be cold and deceitful, wanting to deceive some flaws.
However, judging by the reactions of the two officials in the household registration office, it is unlikely that the guards will steal themselves, and now they can only hope that after the news spreads, the spy is afraid of his past achievements, and he is exposed in panic.
Thinking like this, he strode to the Criminal Division.
Originally, I wanted to tell Zhao Wuxing to find a few trustworthy people, and secretly keep an eye on the wind and grass in the mansion Since Zhao Wuxing is a secret agent of Beizhen Fusi, he must have undergone multiple investigations, and he should not have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the hall, he saw Jia Yucun sitting steadily on the Taishi chair at the top.
As soon as he saw Sun Shaozong enter the door, he got up with a smile and said, "My brother is back." ”
I've been waiting for a while.
Eighty percent of them were just when they arrived at the Yamen, and he got the gift.
Sun Shaozong's heart couldn't help but move, if nothing else, this old fox should have guessed what secrets he was secretly investigating, otherwise he would not know that he went to Zhao Liben, and came to the Criminal Name Division to wait.
However, he acted like this, obviously not wanting to get involved.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong seemed to be fine, and asked with a smile: "Brother has been here for a long time, won't he be throwing me any trouble again?" Let's talk about it first, I can go to the prince's place at any time to hide and relax. ”
Jia Yucun's face was bitter, and he said helplessly: "It's not that brother, I deliberately put a burden on you, it's really forced by the situation, you can see for yourself!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took out this piece from the coffee table and sent it to Sun Shaozong.
Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to see it, so he first asked Jia Yucun to sit down again, and then sat down behind Sun Chengye's common official case, and spread out the chapter to take a closer look.
But I saw that on the top of his head, there were words written in the matter of Like.
Sun Shaozong was stunned unconsciously, this is the official who is responsible for supervising the six departments and hundreds of divisions, collectively known as the six departments to the matter, and the Taoist officials of the synthetic department with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although there are only seven grades, but they are notoriously noble and difficult.
However, how could the piece submitted to the Ministry of Rites fall into the hands of Jia Yucun?
Suspicious and continued to look down, Sun Shaozong couldn't help crying and laughing, feeling that this piece was impeaching Shuntianfu's ineffective education, which led to the popularity of the people, and the obscenity of things was endless......
This official was especially indignant and said that the women in the capital were dressed more and more unsightly, and in the summer, they dared to show their arms on the street!
Although it is an exaggeration to say that the chest and arms are exposed, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have admired the Tang style in recent years, and they have naturally become more and more open in their clothing.
But this is not yet to the point of cleaning up the atmosphere, right?
Sun Shaozong turned it over and over again, read the piece three times, and finally said inexplicably: "What do the elders mean by transferring this piece to us?" It's almost September, how can there be any women on the street with bare chests and arms? ”
Jia Yucun sighed and replied, "Brother, have you read the newspaper two days ago?" ”
Di newspaper two days ago?
Sun Shaozong became more and more confused, the news in the newspaper seemed to be incompatible with the atmosphere of the capital, right?
Jia Yucun saw that Sun Shaozong was puzzled, and sighed again and said, "I'm afraid the southwest is going to be chaotic." ”
If the southwest is in chaos, what does it have to do with the atmosphere of the capital?
Could it be that the Wuxi barbarians and the six countries of southern Xinjiang heard that the women in the capital like to show their arms and chests, so they are enemies of the imperial court?
Just kidding, those barbarians seem to be wearing less, okay!
"Brother, don't play dumb riddles."
Sun Shaozong got up and bowed to the end: "Hurry up and tell me, what is there in here." ”
"Ugh."
Jia Yucun still sighed, shook his head and said: "My brother was born in Jiangmen, I still know you a little bit, this southwest is really going to be chaotic, and you can't send a large army to quell the rebellion?" And if you want to send troops to quell the rebellion, you have to raise military supplies, right? ”
What is the ...... of raising military supplies and the atmosphere of the capital?
Wait a minute!
Could it be......
Sun Shaozong was stunned and said: "The military quartermaster that my brother refers to is not a camp prostitute?!" ”
Seeing Jia Yucun nodding silently, Sun Shaozong's face suddenly became gloomy.
In peacetime, because there are brothels in the local area, which can basically solve the physiological needs of the soldiers, only a very small number of border military towns are equipped.
And in wartime, the imperial court will often temporarily 'deploy' a batch to serve in front of the army, victory as a reward, stalemate is used to boost morale, if the defeat is not punished, it is good, then there are women to sleep?
Because the number of official prostitutes in the teaching workshop is not very large, and it is impossible for the imperial court to force good prostitutes, so at this time, private prostitution, half-closed doors, and even Qinglou brothels with incomplete procedures and insufficient background will usher in a wave of anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities.
Obviously, this piece of music is a text for sweeping away pornography and fighting illegal activities, which makes it seem that the court is famous; Second, those who have a relationship with the news will also call the warden in advance, so as not to be 'mistakenly injured' by the court.
However, even if the other party was originally a woman who had lost her footing, such a method of openly soliciting camp prostitutes, Sun Shaozong still had some difficulty accepting it in his heart.
"Dude."
I heard Jia Yucun say: "I'm afraid that this matter will require the help of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so I ......"
Sun Shaozong suddenly interrupted him and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard that I have recently had a falling out with Prince Zhongshun?" ”
"Is there such a thing?!"
Jia Yucun's eyes widened, and he subconsciously twisted his beard and groaned: "King Zhongshun has always loved his virtuous brother, how could he suddenly have a dislike? ”
Although he said this as a question, he obviously did not want to know the answer or details.
Sun Shaozong didn't plan to tell him, he just spread his hands and said helplessly: "Therefore, I am afraid that I will have to take refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the time being, and the errand in this palace is really ......."
This is naturally a pretext, with the prince's trust in him now, even if he officially quits the task force, he will still come forward to protect him.
Jia Yucun's brows furrowed even tighter, he got up slowly, and solemnly arched his hand: "Brother Xian's intelligence is ten times better than mine, I must have a plan in my heart, and I don't make much noise, in short, I am responsible for everything in the yamen, and Brother Xian doesn't need to worry too much." ”
These words sound bright, but they don't mean to help at all.
However, Sun Shaozong didn't expect him to share the weal and woe with him at all, as long as he didn't force himself to collect 'military supplies', it was enough.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
But at the same time that Sun Shaozong shirked his errand, as soon as he was in the mansion in the west of the city, the male owner arrived in the backyard full of joy, and there was still some distance from the hall, so he couldn't help but say loudly: "Lady, lady, the matter has been decided!" If you are a husband, you will ...... soon."
When one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, the man's excited voice suddenly stopped, as if he was grabbed by the throat, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words: "Mother, why are you here?" ”
But it turned out that in the small hall of the house, in addition to the young and beautiful hostess, there was also a middle-aged woman with pale sideburns.
The woman put the tea bowl in her hand on the table, and asked coldly, "Why, you can't come here for your mother?" ”
"How could it be, how could it be!"
The man hurriedly laughed and said: "The child means, Xiuyun and I should go to give you a greeting, how dare you ......"
"Get on your knees!"
Before he could finish speaking, the woman suddenly scolded him fiercely.
The man's body trembled, and he immediately knelt down without hesitation, and walked a few steps in front of his mother.
The woman didn't even look at her son, but softened her voice slightly, and then ordered: "Xiuyun, you go down first, my mother has something to explain to him." ”
The young woman named Xiuyun glanced at her husband in embarrassment, and cautiously persuaded: "It's nothing for my mother to punish him, just don't be angry." ”
"It's okay."
The woman waved her hand: "I just can't see him so carried away, there are some family precepts to explain to him." ”
The young woman said a blessing, put her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed backwards, and closed the door with her backhand.
When she heard the footsteps outside, she jumped up from her chair, her thin arms holding on to the armrests, and her muscles were bruised below her elbows.
Her originally kind facial features suddenly twisted and became hideous, and the voice thrown out of her trembling lips was as cold as an ice knife: "Do you remember, how did your father die?!" ”
As if a conditioned reflex, the male owner blurted out: "On the seventh day of December in the thirty-first year of Jianping, he was killed by the puppet court thief Wang Ziteng, and his body hung at the south gate of Pingliangcheng, and it lasted for seventeen days without rotting!" Later, he was burned by thieves, and his bones were gone! ”
"Do you remember, do you remember?!"
The woman slapped her son in the face, and before the man could do anything, she shook her body and almost fell to the ground, but it turned out that one of the woman's legs was lame.
The man hurriedly helped her back to the chair, but was pushed away desperately by the woman, shouting: "You unfilial son, don't touch me!" ”
"Mother! I ......"
"Don't call me mother, I can't stand it!"
The middle-aged woman shouted loudly, and the man hurriedly knelt on the ground again, grabbed the ground with his head, and said, "The son is not filial, please let my mother calm her anger." ”
"Anger?"
The middle-aged woman sneered: "Since you still remember how your father died, how can you almost get carried away for the sake of the meagre benefits given by this puppet dynasty?!" ”
"The child didn't ......"
"If you still remember that the hatred of killing your father is not shared, why do you push back and refuse to work with the people sent by King Ming to find the reincarnated saint?!"
"Mother!"
"If You Were ......"
"Mother!"
The man finally couldn't help it, raised his head angrily, and said, "No matter what Mrs. Li is messing with, my son has a clear conscience in his heart!" I have already helped me with all the requests they have made, but if I follow their unscrupulous mess, sooner or later I will be ...... was discovered by the puppet dynasty and caused the disaster of annihilation! ”
"Are you scared? You're sparing your life?! ”
The old woman's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "When your father sacrificed his life for King Ming, how could he have cared about life and death? You...... You are really a man of my Su family, a disciple of Maitreya! ”
"It's true that I'm a disciple of Maitreya!"
The man also let go, tilted his head and said, "But Xiuyun is not, and the child in her womb is not!" Even if I want to sacrifice my life for Maitreya, I have to wait until I send her away safely! ”
Hearing the 'child in the womb', the middle-aged woman's face couldn't help but show some struggle, and she hesitated for a while: "But Master Li Helm said, now the puppet dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can't find the saint as soon as possible, think about ......it in the future."
"Mother!"
This time, when I changed the man to my mother, I heard him say dissatisfiedly: "If you can find the holy woman, how can the child not help?" But they ...... But they are clearly messing around, knowing that it was a baby boy who died in the house arrest of the government office, and they still want to provoke Rongguo Mansion! ”
"Master Li said that the nun also took a baby girl......"
"But it was born a few months ago!"
The man became more and more annoyed, gritted his teeth and said, "In my opinion, they haven't even figured out whether the reincarnated saint girl was born or not, and how old she is now!" ”
"Two days ago, I was even worried about the Prince's Mansion, saying that since the Li family broke the 'dragon vein' of the puppet dynasty, maybe she was pregnant with the reincarnated saint!"
The middle-aged woman finally hesitated, and said, "Then you ......?"
"Mother, you don't care, I'll find time to discuss with Mrs. Li, let's finally gain a foothold in the capital, and we must not let those stunned young people from the northwest continue to mess around!"
