Chapter 3 The Death of Wei Zhongxian Section 035 A road leads to darkness
Xu Chun shouted at this sound, as if a cold wind was blowing, making many people tremble and shiver involuntarily by this cold.
Even the dignified Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing was so flustered that he even stammered when he spoke: "Xu ...... Composed...... Xu Chunchao, you ...... You...... What did you say? Wei...... Wei...... Wei Zhongxian, what's wrong with him? ”
Xu Chunchao had already reacted from the shock, straightened his waist, and said to Luo Yangxing: "Commander Luo, Wei Zhongxian has hanged himself in the house. ”
Hearing this, Luo Yangxing shook his head vigorously, tried to make himself sober, and immediately walked forward quickly, but quickly retreated, as if there was no dead Wei Zhongxian hanging in the room, but a colorful tiger.
At this moment, Luo Yangxing's heart was already a mess: the holy decree he received was to ask a living Wei Zhongxian to return to Beijing, but Wei Zhongxian hanged himself under his nose, such a sin - to put it mildly, it was his own duty that failed to prevent Qin from committing suicide in fear of crime; To put it mildly, he will have to bear the charge of forcing Wei Zhongxian to death......
Who is he Wei Zhongxian? Nine thousand years old who lost power! No matter how discounted the nine thousand years old, it must be a thousand years old, how many pairs of eyes in the world are staring closely. And such a person actually died right under his nose!
And the dead Wei Zhongxian is still Wei Zhongxian after all, and the power of the eunuchs in the court is still very large, in case they attack it en masse, then the Emperor Shangjuan's request to punish him can drown Luo Yangxing. At that time, the new emperor may not be able to resist the crowd, and maybe he will immediately send someone to pick up this set of unicorn clothes that he has just put on and has not yet been warmed up for Luo Yangxing.
When Luo Yangxing thought of this, he was even more in a trance, and turned around twice in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and his head down, the first thing that came to mind was to kill people and kill his mouth, only to hear him say: "Wei Zhongxian is dead, this matter is very important, and you can't leak the news." No one in the post station can be left, and they will all be killed by me! ”
Ji Qingwen, who was hiding in the house to watch the excitement, couldn't help but feel a pang when he heard this-all the people in the so-called post station naturally included himself, so of course it was within the scope of the need to kill and extinguish the mouth.
This made him look at Li Yan in a daze, but when he saw that Li Yan was also looking at him, the gaze in his eyes calmed down a lot, and he spread out his palm and pressed it down, signaling Ji Qingwen to be calm and wait for changes.
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Yangxing's voice fell, someone advised: "Commander Luo, Wei Zhongxianshu is making a big move, no matter how much you hide it, you can't hide it." Only when playing is to find a way to avoid the important and light, so as not to carry this black pot on yourself, is the best strategy. ”
This person's voice Ji Qingwen is very familiar, it is Li Yuanyin, the Jinyi guard who interrogated him.
I only heard Li Yuanyin continue: "This is actually not difficult. As long as it was played, Commander Luo omitted everything he did and said after coming to Fucheng Station, and only said that when he saw Wei Zhongxian, he had committed suicide in fear of sin. Then Wei Zhongxian committed suicide in advance, so naturally no responsibility would fall on Commander Luo's head. ”
Luo Yangxing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, Li Yuanyin, you said it well. With these few words alone, the official will reward you heavily! In this way, Xu Chunchao rebelled against Wei Zhongxian, and his command of the affairs was considered to be the end, so I will promote you to be the new commander, and I will give you a document when I go back. ”
Li Yuanyin immediately bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the cultivation of the commander." However, Lord Xu is also a loyal man, and he hopes that Commander Luo will not embarrass him. ”
Luo Yangxing's face sank, and he didn't want to agree, but Li Yuanyin just gave him a good idea, so he couldn't refute his face on the spot, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Chunchao and said, "If I don't dispose of you, naturally there will be an official of the imperial historian to impeach you." Don't follow me back to Beijing, just guard this broken post station and don't walk around, understand? ”
Xu Chunchao arched his hand expressionlessly and said the word "yes".
Luo Yangxing said to Li Yuanyin again: "The few people you interrogated just now, I'm afraid that they will know the inside story and go out to talk nonsense, why don't you take them back to the edict prison and take care of them first, and then release them when the limelight is over?" ”
When Ji Qingwen heard this in the room, he couldn't help but feel nervous, but he heard Li Yuanyin say again: "The commander is thoughtful, and his subordinates admire him." However, the imperial court is about to open a department, and if the future of the two of them is missed, they will make trouble, and I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up. When the subordinates asked the two lifters, they told them to stay where they were, and they should not have known about what was happening here. And according to the observation of their subordinates, they are not nerd stupid people, they know that their future is important, and they will definitely not come to get involved. ”
Li Yuanyin first touted, then analyzed, rubbed and rubbed it so that Luo Yang couldn't help nodding yes, and said: "Reasonable, reasonable." Okay, without further ado, you can call a few brothers, take down Wei Zhongxian's body, and send it to the capital quickly. Fortunately, God helps, it's winter, if you encounter this unfortunate thing in summer, Wei Zhongxian's corpse of the gelding dog will stink in less than three days! ”
As he spoke, Luo Yangxing turned his head and walked out.
The brocade guards in the courtyard were busy, carrying the corpses, the chariots, and the guards of the guards, and within a single cup of tea, they carried Wei Zhongxian's body out of the room, put it on a cart, covered it with several layers of mats, and quickly left the post station and went north.
Ji Qingwen heard that there was no movement outside, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Li, they all say that this is a place of right and wrong, and the center of the whirlpool, but I didn't expect this hurdle to be so difficult to cross." Now that the brocade guards are gone, our brothers are finally safe, right? ”
Li Yan was also shocked, and in the cold winter wax moon, he unfolded the folding fan and kept fanning his face, and said: "Thanks to the brocade guard named Li Yuanyin, it seems that he is also a loyal person." If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had a good time. ”
Ji Qingwen nodded and said: "That is, I don't know if Jin Yiwei commands the servants to have a lot of silver, if there is a chance, I will give him a few hundred taels of silver, which will be regarded as money to buy his life." ”
Li Yan said: "A key department like Jinyiwei is also a big official like the commander of the affairs, although there are not many people, I have never heard of living on them, and Brother Ji's silver can be saved." But at the moment, we are not really out of danger, so let's hurry up. ”
So Ji Qingwen and Li Yan left the house, and ordered Duo Jiugong, Xing'er and Huang Degong to immediately pack their luggage, drive the carriage, and quickly leave this Fucheng Post Station where the bloody storm has not subsided.
The post station and the soldiers under him didn't know where to flee last night when the White Lotus Sect Xu Hongru and Zhou Xiuying attacked, so Ji Qingwen couldn't find anyone to sell the house, so he left a few taels of silver in the house, which was considered a reward, so he hurriedly jumped into the prepared carriage and went outside the post station.
did not leave the post station, but saw Xu Chunchao standing motionless at the door of the post station, like a clay sculpture.
Xu Chunchao's experience, Ji Qingwen already knew it, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, so he whispered to Duo Jiugong, who was driving the car, to leave here first.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chunchao, who seemed to be half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly spoke: "Two sons, there are a few words to say before they die, I wonder if you two are willing to listen to it?" ”
"What? Are you going to die? Ji Qingwen blurted out after listening, "You want to commit suicide?" Why bother? ”
Li Yan also said: "Lord Xu, Wei Zhongxian is not a good person, if he dies, he will die. I believe that you follow him a little unspeakable, he is dead now, don't you have to be relieved? ”
Xu Chunchao said: "Thank you two for your kindness." Zai Xia is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and knows that Wei Zhongxian is a traitor. However, he has saved my life, and I have to repay this kindness. But how many people in the world know what is going on? The world only knows that I am attached to the rebel eunuchs, and I don't know how many people will impeach me after I go back, and now I am dead. ”
Ji Qingwen persuaded: "Why should Lord Xu be like this? As the saying goes, if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't give up. But you don't have to cry when you see the coffin, and you don't have to die until you reach the Yellow River, so you don't have to go all the way to the dark. Lord Xu is not a mediocre person, as long as he takes off his official uniform and hides in the world, he may not have a way to settle down. ”
Xu Chunchao suddenly showed a weird smile on his face, and said, "I said that I listened to the next talk, why didn't the two sons finish talking about it?" There is only one sentence to say in the next, and after the two of them heard it, they immediately set off on their way, so as not to miss the time of the imperial examination. ”
These words aroused Ji Qingwen's curiosity again, and said, "What words? Please speak. ”
Xu Chunchao said: "If the two of you are short of money, please go to the backyard of Baiyun Temple and dig three feet into the ground." ”
