Chapter 433: The End of Qingping (3)
Lingnan Province participated in the tribute of the Shendu Imperial Court, which was the least among the provinces, with only 26 people, not even as good as Chang'an, the western capital.
Due to the long distance, the mountains and rivers are blocked, the Lingnan Road is clustered, and the latest to arrive in Beijing is in March.
In the official post of Ruzhou, they met with the Yicong of Wu Yanxiu, the king of Huaiyang, and heard that Wu Yanxiu went to Qiongzhou to assassinate the history, and among the sons, only one of them was from Qiongzhou, named Qiu Ying, and hurriedly came out to meet his parents.
Wu Yanxiu was in a hurry, and did not do much with him, but patiently encouraged a few words, gave a rich gift, and then parted ways with them.
"The king of Huaiyang is really concerned about the people of Li, a diligent person, the sky is dark, it is about to enter the night, and he has to rush to the post, after this post station, I am afraid that I will stay in the wilderness" Qiu Ying held the money and silk he was given, and sighed with emotion.
The night of Ruzhou Guanyi is not quiet, there is a large number of rapid horses' hooves passing by, so that these strangers with dreams, it is difficult to sleep, the next day at dawn, they carry their bags on the road, are full of ambition, if nothing else, today can arrive at the divine capital, gather the world's heroes to realize their dreams.
Halfway through, a group of officials who rode horses and galloped quickly passed them, the first person, riding the horse first, giving orders, majestic, looking at the age of only thirty years, already wearing a scarlet robe, the young man was ambitious, enviable.
The gentlemen of Lingnan Road stopped, looking at the official queue with great longing, Qiu Ying also couldn't take his eyes off it, and his blood was boiling, "This is the prestige of the imperial court, the demeanor of the ministers...... That is, King Huaiyang? ”
Qiu Ying shouted out in a lost voice, in the middle of the official team, there was a threshold car, and there was a person in it, with a cloak and a lock, and the brocade embroidered clothes on his body left some traces of wealth and nobility, it was Wu Yanxiu, the king of Huaiyang who had a relationship last night.
A gust of autumn wind swept by, and the Lingnan Dao lifters were silent, yesterday's attendants were like clouds as officials of the frontier, and today Chu Yi Nanguan became a prisoner under the stairs, and everyone opened their mouths, and it was difficult to react for a long time.
Qiu Ying was the first to calm down, and hurriedly spoke, "Ahem, the court has strict laws, and the dignified prince of the county, once the ban is violated, it will fall in an instant, I am the first to arrive, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and carefully invite trouble."
Everyone was agitated, confused and said yes, and turned the topic to the young high-ranking official.
"At such a young age, wearing a scarlet robe, even if you are from a powerful family, it is rare"
"That's right, he must be the youngest scarlet robe in the middle of the court."
……
"Hmph, what do you know?" Someone next to him sneered, looking at the dress, it should be an old farmer, wearing a coat and holding a ploughshare, going to the field for spring ploughing, with a high black chin, full of superiority, "The dolls who wear open crotch pants know that the youngest big official is Quan Langjun's younger brother Luntai Hou, who is less than ten years old, and he is already a big official."
The old farmer shook his head, drove a ox, and went down to the field.
The Lingnan lifters looked at his back, very embarrassed, and no longer had the intention of talking highly, so they silently bowed their heads and hurried.
Changxiamen was in sight, and the lifters were excited again, and took the initiative to show the precious and important official certificate to the city gate Shouzheng, Shouzheng did not look at it, just waved his hand casually, and mentioned a few words in a rough voice, "Go into the city, the house is in Chongwenfang, don't move around"
Qiu Ying and the others thanked him, and the boss in his heart didn't think so, he came to the Shendu with great difficulty, just as he was a good student to appreciate the elegance of the capital, even if he couldn't go to high school, he could broaden his horizons, who would be bored in the study.
Entering the Changxia Gate, as if entering another world, the surrounding suddenly noisy and noisy, the streets and bridges are vertical and horizontal, the rafters are stacked and the houses are framed, the edge can not be seen at a glance, the cargo ships and cruise ships in the water are dense, the traffic and people at the ferry port are like weaving, between the markets, the merchants and merchants walk the streets and alleys, the shouting is loud into the clouds, the children are in groups, chasing and running in all directions.
"Yuyu Jiacheng, a prosperous capital, worthy of its name" The lifters praised again and again, like headless flies, their steps were messy, and they looked around in circles, and their eyes were not enough.
"Get out of the way, all disperse" A biao army horse killed, rushed into the downtown area, accurately grabbed the four gray-clothed laborers in a warehouse, mixed in the crowd and no one noticed, pulled out and appeared alone, ordinary people can see that something is wrong, fine skin and tender meat, hair combed smooth and smooth, by no means a coolie person.
The four of them were cut off their hands, rolling on the ground and moving their limbs, struggling desperately, cursing endlessly, "Princess Taiping is unethical and tyrannical to the courtiers, and sooner or later she will be punished by God...... The power strategy is insidious and treacherous, harming a lot of people, poisoning is retribution, and he will definitely be a short-lived ghost, and he will never turn over...... Ahh......h
The soldiers and horses who carried out the arrest were the death regiment of the right jade guard of the guilty army, and they couldn't hear that anyone had defiled Quan Langjun, so when they heard this, they immediately brandished the horizontal knife with a sheath, crackling several times, shattering their limbs, and gushing out teeth and blood.
The captain at the head looked at it coldly, and when his soldiers and horses vented their evil fire, he waved his hand, "Take them back to Shendu Yuan"
"The soldiers of the government are ignoring people's lives, and they are grasping people indiscriminately......"
Suddenly, a large group of gray-clothed laborers of dozens of people swarmed up, shouting indiscriminately, holding sticks and other murder weapons, enveloping the people gathered on the side of the road, trying to raid and rob people, some people shouted indiscriminately, some people cried for help, and it became a pot of porridge.
"Hehe, it finally has some meaning" The lieutenant carried out more than a dozen arrest tasks, quite bored, sneered when he saw this, so he had a good time, the death regiment was the ancestor of the surprise attack, and there were already subordinates who rushed into the crowd in groups of three, rushing left and right, for ordinary people, just overturned the matter, but for the more than 30 people who took the lead, they were heavy-handed, knocked down to the ground and squirmed, unable to stand, and the movement was not a small disturbance, and it was announced to subside in a moment.
"This lieutenant is the right jade guard, recruiting soldiers, not government soldiers, next time someone wants to make trouble, and remember carefully" The lieutenant announced in public, justified his name, waved his hand, and ordered a cadre to be taken away.
The subordinates moved extremely neatly, and almost at the same time as receiving the order, they performed their duties, and withdrew like a gust of wind, even lifting up the overturned tables and chairs in the warehouse.
The officials of Luoyang Mansion came to clean up the situation, and guided the people in the four places to disperse one after another, each of them managed their livelihoods, and was as stable as before, but they only mentioned the arrest of Fang Cai in the occasional chatter as a talking point.
"The six divisions of the Son of Heaven, the demeanor of the people, and the magnificence" Lingnan Juzi witnessed this sudden arrest incident that happened and subsided suddenly, and his heart was uneasy and full of emotion.
Shendu Yuan, Princess Taiping personally tortured Wu Yanxiu.
It's real torture.
Clamping sticks, salt water whips, stuffy paper, and soldering irons were served one by one, and it was difficult to find a good piece of meat on Wu Yanxiu's body.
Wu Yanxiu's screams echoed endlessly, he was afraid of death, and he had already made up his mind not to confess.
However, Princess Taiping did not play according to the routine, she only used torture, did not ask, and came here every day to observe and appreciate his miserable situation, repeatedly, without saying a word, as if she wanted to torture him to death.
This kind of cold breath finally scared Wu Yanxiu's courage, it is also death, and it is not bad to be happy.
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit, ask me anything, I'll recruit everything, it's me, it's me who poisoned" Wu Yanxiu roared and confessed to the crime, blood spurted from his mouth, "Quan Ce is dead, I will pay for his life, kill me, kill me"
"Slap ......" Princess Taiping whipped Wu Yanxiu's neck with her backhand, causing him to twitch violently, lightly opened her red lips, and said the first sentence, "My eldest man is very good, if you want to die, you will die alone"
Wu Yanxiu smiled like a night owl, "Your Highness Taiping, why do you deceive yourself, malachite, without antidote, it can't be saved......"
Princess Taiping's eyes flickered, and she turned around by flicking her sleeves, hiding her shocked face, and yelled angrily, "Execution, don't stop, execution"
Wu Yanxiu was furious, "I recruited, I recruited, and Lin San in the account room outside the princess's mansion was the person I arranged......"
Princess Taiping didn't turn around, her face changed drastically, Xiangnu arrested a servant in charge of purchasing in the palace, and the person who poisoned him had already been identified, and he was a hundred years old next to the purchasing steward, and Lin San in the outer account room disappeared before the banquet.
Princess Taiping closed her eyes, her chest rose and fell sharply, and she ordered in a dumb voice, "Continue the execution until he faints"
She brushed her sleeves out of the torture room, her eyes sparkled, behind the scenes of the poisoning, in addition to Wu Yanxiu, there was a second person, this person noticed Wu Yanxiu's movements, got rid of Lin San in advance, changed the person who poisoned her, and also changed the poison.
Red letter stone replaces peacock gall, although it is not fatal, but it is also poison.
Is this man friend or foe?
