Chapter 504: Who's Afraid of Whom!
This kind of thing happens every day in Chang'an City. As we all know, the fierce women of the Tang Dynasty are famous, and the husband is late for fooling around, and it is not uncommon for the eldest wife in the family to bring someone to the door, especially the kind of guy who is afraid of his wife like a tiger but likes to look for flowers and willows. In this way, the number of times that has been knocked on the door should probably be regarded as Pingkangfang.
However, the dignified Yongzhou party was provoked to come to the door, and this is the first time in the world. Not only does Li Xian feel fresh, but even these many small officials also feel fresh, however, those subordinate officials are a little hot, this is not a prince and boss for no reason, but there are others who dare to bully the door? disappeared for four days, and Cui Nian, the long historian who claimed to be going to sort out the case files of the Yongzhou Mansion, finally stepped out of the door, and was followed by Sima and several people such as the military officer.
Compared with these officials who are windy at their feet, Li Xian is lagging behind. In fact, when he saw these officials who came out of nowhere, he almost hated it. Well, at the beginning, I couldn't find anyone to do something, but now I'm all coming out! So, he deliberately slowed down and let these guys go to the ring with the people outside.
Who is the person outside the door? But I saw that the person who was the leader was black-haired and white-shirted, with a long knife at his waist, his face was angry, his eyes were cold, and he was about to do it if he didn't agree with himβthat is to say, the so-called entry was only to the point of talking about it, and it was not fully implemented. It's just that that angry posture is the first time Li Xian has seen it so far.
"Wu Na woman, Yongzhou is a heavy place, how can you trespass!"
As soon as the first four words came into his ears, Li Xian almost didn't laugh out loud, and he followed the prestige to see a young official in his forties - he expected to speak so vulgarly and directly, and he would not be a Tang Dynasty official who was known for his demeanor and appearance. However, these words succeeded in angering the leader, and she saw that her shoulders shook violently for a moment, and when she was about to refrain from making a move, she finally stopped drawing her sword.
"I am the county lord of Jin'an in the Tang Dynasty, who is you, who dares to speak to me like this?" As she spoke, she took a step forward, and her voice turned into a roar in an instant, "Chang'an ordered the messenger to break into my house without permission, kidnap my master book, and now insult me with foul language, what is the reason?" β
The title of the county lord of Jin'an in the Tang Dynasty was not available a year ago, that is, because the prince of Linhai County, Jin Ren, asked about returning to the country to coordinate the dispatch of troops by the Luo army, in order to appease Jin Mingjia, the princess of Luoshan City, who was still in Chang'an City, discussed with Li Zhi and made an exception to seal such a county lord - anyway, the county lord is not a princess, so he doesn't need to be sealed, but he just spends a little money every year.
Li Xian had expected this to happen, and found that the subordinate officials who rushed forward were all frozen in place, and even Changshi Sima, who was just about to order someone to come forward to arrest the perpetrator, quietly took two steps back, and then he coughed dryly and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the princess of Luo Shancheng?" Tsk, it's been a long time! β
Jin Mingjia came here angrily to find Li Xian's theory, and when she saw him go out, the anger on her face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Looking at Li Xian's face for a while, she first greeted with perfect courtesy, and then asked in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness King Yong, although I do not live alone in Chang'an, but this mansion is the residence of His Majesty's Qinfeng Linhai County Duke, without a clear decree, Chang'an Decree took the messenger to trespass, can I understand that he despises His Majesty's majesty? Since King Yong is now the pastor of Yongzhou, and the county order under his jurisdiction is so reckless, should I find you to seek justice? The Yongzhou party officials couldn't help but say that they blocked me from the door, and even intended to do it, is it to despise me, the county lord who is enshrined by His Majesty? β
Under this series of questioning, several officers at the door were all startled, God knows that they are just duties, who knows that this woman who is dressed very differently from the Tang Dynasty woman is actually a county lord, and if she is unlucky, she is a foreign county lord! Not to mention the county lord these days, even the princess and the eldest princess are not unusual, after all, the relationship with the emperor is not ordinary. However, if it is a foreigner, it is different, in order to restrain some foreign countries, the Tang Dynasty gives preferential treatment even to some royal relatives.
"Ah, that's the case?"
Li Xian's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was inexplicably surprised: "This Linhai County Prince's mansion is from the imperial gift, is the Chang'an Order so bold?" β
Jin Mingjia had just chased Chang'an Ling Hu Jing's ass and turned into this alley, and recognized that the person had entered the Yongzhou Mansion, and at this moment, seeing Li Xian's style, she became more and more annoyed. Thinking that if Li Xian crossed the river and demolished the bridge, it would definitely cause her subordinates to centrifuge, so she dispelled her aggressive thoughts, put on a gentle face, and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for making decisions for me!" β
Li Xian rubbed his chin angrily for a while, thinking that this woman was really good at beating snakes and sticks, but his mouth began to play officially: "If I remember correctly, when this Linhai County Duke went to Haidong, it seems that he brought all the subordinate officials, and this master book should also follow, I don't know the master book that Chang'an ordered this time to arrest ......"
As soon as the words fell, Jin Mingjia immediately added an explanation: "That's what I just recruited, it's a student of Luo Tai with outstanding literary talents, and I am about to recommend it to Your Majesty!" If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can call someone out and test it on the spot! β
Why is this woman so difficult? Li Xian originally came out to delay time, thinking that Huo Huaien was still Sheng Yunwen's boss, he should be sure to deal with this situation, but until now there was no news out, he couldn't help but be a little anxious. Just as he was about to use his words to buy a little more time, he heard a straightforward voice from behind him.
"What Luo Tai student, that's clearly the remnants of Goguryeo's traitors!"
I saw Chang'an Ling Hu Jing rushing out like a gust of wind, sweating profusely and with excitement on his face, carefully guarding a thin piece of paper in his hand. He didn't look at Jin Mingjia, and handed the piece of paper to Li Xian with both hands: "Your Highness Mingjian, I have just obtained the confession drawn by the thief, he admits that he is a fellow Goguryeo traitor, and he has been plotting to infiltrate my Tang Dynasty for three years, and it is precisely for the critical moment that my Tang Dynasty is making waves, and he has also confessed to three contact bases!" β
The so-called Goguryeo traitors naturally refer to Quan Xiancheng's two stubborn uncles, who are the targets that the Tang Dynasty is now trying to eliminate under the banner of helping Goguryeo's orthodoxy. However, the hatred between Luo and Goguryeo can be said to be incompatible, so to say that Luo Tai's student is a fellow traitor of Goguryeo, this is said that Jin Mingjia does not believe it, and even other people around him find it incredible.
"Under Miki, I can't ask for any confession!" If Jin Mingjia scoffed at hearing the words of the Goguryeo traitors and the same party, then when she heard the statement of the three liaison bases, she suddenly panicked in her heart, but she still put on a tough posture, "His Royal Highness King Yong, since there are so many people now, can you bring people out?" If he confesses like this unscathed, then I will go and ask Your Majesty for guilt now! β
Unscathed...... How could the damn person who had been forced to confess be unharmed, what he had just told Huo Huaien was to toss as much as he wanted, as long as he didn't die! Li Xian secretly complained in his heart, but in front of the officials around him, he could only pretend to smile lightly: "This doesn't seem necessary, this confession is signed by him, not only the handwriting can be recognized, but also the handprint, how can it be fake?" β
"His Royal Highness King Yong, the proposal of the county lord of Jin'an is not unreasonable, if you casually arrest people in the prince's mansion, it is really unseemly to spread it!"
Seeing that it was Sima Yongzhou who spoke, Li Xiandeng's heart was on fire - damn guy, are you a Tang person or a Luo person, you actually turned your elbow out for such a little mustard! Seeing that the others seemed to be ready to help, he took a deep breath and showed an unusually "kind" smile, God knows that he was already angry at the moment.
"In that case, seeing is believing, Hu Jing, lead the way!"
Seeing that Chang'an Ling Hu Jing's face turned pale in an instant, several officials suddenly exchanged glances with deep understanding, and they thought that they had caught Li Xian's weakness this time. Even Jin Mingjia was proud - it was indeed not much good to offend Li Xian, but that person was too important, if she hadn't been caught off guard at that time, she would never have let the errand of Chang'an County be so easy to get it. Anyway, she will return to China soon, and Li Xian can't retaliate against her even if she retaliates afterwards!
Scarred, bloodstained, and half-dead...... This is the scenario that most people imagine, after all, Li Xian's reputation for daring is not true. Therefore, when he saw a clean and tidy person sitting there crying and laughing, Jin Mingjia was of course stunned, and even a group of officials who were waiting to see the joke and complain were stunned. And Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at Huo Huaien, and quietly shook his thumb.
Although he didn't see the imaginary scene, Jin Mingjia was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he ordered his entourage to step forward, but he could uncover the clothes, and they were clean and clean without any scars and bloodstains, where was it like using torture to force a confession? The entourage who did it almost didn't bare out of his eyes, and continued to pick up his clothes, while taking advantage of the unpreparedness to whisper to remind the man to retract his confession, but he didn't get any response.
"Now, everyone believes that this guy is confessing instead of coercing, right?"
Li Xian glanced around with a victorious gaze, and added a bit of a demonstration by the way, especially when his gaze swept over the Yongzhou Sima - damn it, if you dare to go against me, I will press you down tomorrow! As for Jin Mingjia's gray face, he didn't even look at it, this cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, it would be a pity not to seize this opportunity!
"Hu Jing, something is very wrong, you immediately inform Jin Wuwei and copy the three strongholds of the Goguryeo traitors and the same party to me!"
When Leng Buding heard such an order, Chang'an made Hu Jing feel excited, and immediately felt full of motivation, and immediately responded loudly: "Yes, the lower officials will never let anyone go!" β
Looking at Jin Mingjia, who bit his lip and was silent, Li Xian was extremely happy in his heart - there are not a few Luo students studying abroad and Luo businessmen in Datang, but there must not be many people who are really qualified to be spies, and the harvest is really too great! Of course, Huo Huaien should be the first to take the credit!
