Chapter 593: Doing the Way for Heaven

Xue Shao frowned, "These, all of them are Wu Youning suing you?" ”

"That's right." Xuanyunzi nodded, "In order to make amends, not long after we met, Wu Youning built a Xuanyun Temple for me in Zhongnan Mountain, and asked me to cultivate there. He said that if he misses me, he can visit me at any time. But since we met, he hasn't talked to me again. But Wu Youji visited me a few times...... Compared with Wu Youning, Wu Youji is much more loyal and simple! ”

Xue Shao nodded, "But, what does this have to do with Wu Yizong?" ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled bitterly again and shook his head, "Knowing Wu Yizong is all my bad luck!" ”

"How?"

Xuan Yunzi said: "Long before I recognized Brother Wu Youning, I was ordered to enter the palace as a stand-in for Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, pretending to be a monk in order to refuse to marry Tibet. Since then, I have been living in the Taiping Temple in Chang'an, and often follow my master Pan Tianshi and my senior brother Sima Chengzhen to enter the palace to accompany the two saints to discuss the Tao. Wu Yizong's father served as the imperial court's Kurabe Langzhong's family lived in Chang'an, and I met him as soon as I came and went. At that time, I was not yet ten years old, and Wu Yizong had already begun to stare at me, and he had tried to forcibly mistreat me many times. It was inconvenient for my master and brother to report this to the queen of heaven, so they began to teach me martial arts to protect myself. In order not to be bullied by Wu Yizong, I practiced hard day and night, and I kept avoiding him. Until one day I broke two of his teeth, and I never escaped it again. That year, I was thirteen years old. Since then, Wu Yizong has hated me to the core, until today. ”

"It turns out that there is still this old feud between you!" Xue Shao nodded, "Later, you and Wu Youning became brother and sister, what did he do?" ”

"In front of the two Wu Youning brothers, he scolded me for being a wild seed of unknown origin, and told them not to recognize their relatives indiscriminately." Xuan Yunzi took a deep breath and said, "This is his cousin." ”

"Wu Youning doesn't have anything to say?" Xue Shao was very curious, "In comparison, his official can be bigger than Wu Yizong, and he is more respected by the Queen Mother!" ”

"Childe doesn't know. Although he is also a member of the Wu family, Wu Yizong's father was an official of the imperial court, and he grew up in Chang'an since he was a child. We have lost our fathers since we were young, and our family has been poor and destitute, and it is not until we have the support of the queen of heaven that we have improved. Including the two nephews of the Queen Mother, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, they were also very downcast before they were recalled to Chang'an, and they have been living in exile. Therefore, Wu Yizong has always been arrogant in front of our poor relatives of the martial family. The Wu family seems to be accustomed to his condescension and martial arts, and they tolerate him in every way. Xuan Yunzi said, "After Wu Yizong scolded at that time, Wu Youning walked away without saying a word. However, Wu Youji and Wu Yizong had a big quarrel, and they have not been in contact with each other for two years since then. ”

"It seems that this roe deer villain is rejected everywhere." Xue Shao said, "Despite this, I still don't understand - why did he deliberately target you when he came to Suizhou?" Anyway, you are being ordered to do things for the Queen Mother. Isn't he afraid that you will sue the Queen Mother? ”

"He's not afraid." Xuan Yunzi smiled bitterly with a hint of sorrow, "Because he swears that he has my handle in his hand." As long as I dare to sue, he will dare to go around and spread the word that I have an adulterous affair with Bai Tieyu. He even threatened that I was already pregnant with Bai Tieyu's child, so I kept hiding in Qingyunguan and didn't dare to come out to meet people. ”

"But the truth is, you're not pregnant?" Xue Shao was a little crying and laughing, that stupid guy can really make it up!

"He would say, I just hid and quietly aborted the child." Xuan Yunzi smiled bitterly, "In short, he just grabbed the handle that I once wore the phoenix crown and Xia Veil, and pretended to marry Bai Tieyu, and made a fuss." Now he is the minister of the imperial mission who came to Suizhou on business, and the mouthpiece of the government is in his hands, and it is also his power to report to the imperial court how he wants. If he really talks nonsense and is terrible, my life is over. At that time, even if the Queen Mother wants to protect me, I'm afraid she won't be able to help. Therefore, I can't sue the Queen Mother for this matter, I can only solve it myself! ”

"Mad Dog!" Xue Shao scolded in annoyance and said, "Don't worry, I'm in charge of this matter." If it weren't for helping me pacify Bai Tieyu, you wouldn't have made this decision and pretended to agree to marry Bai Tieyu. Moreover, now that I am the new governor of Xiazhou, Suizhou is under my rule. How can I allow that mad dog to bite under my rule? ”

Xuan Yunzi's face was happy, "When did Gongzi become the governor of Xiazhou?" ”

"Why, didn't the moon slave sue you?"

"Nope. She only said that she would follow you to conquer the Turks, but you stayed in Shuofang Military Town and found it boring, so she came to me to gossip. Xuan Yunzi said with a smile, "Miss Yuenu is very arrogant, I'm afraid it's hard to figure out what kind of official positions you hold." ”

"It's possible." Xue Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wu Yizong's affairs are public and private, and I will take care of them to the end." You can just preach and preach in Suizhou with peace of mind -- but just like today, if you put me on stage and force me to talk nonsense, there will be no more! ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled.

The willow eyebrows are curved, and the eyes are bright.

Charming!

Xue Shao asked the moon slave to stay with Xuan Yunzi temporarily, and the two of them could take care of each other. Then he and Li Xianyuan immediately turned back to the inn and called Guo An and the others from the other rooms together.

"Orderβ€”"

As soon as Xue Shao came out, Guo An and the other twenty scouts were stretched straight, like twenty fast knives about to be unsheathed!

"Please give the order of the General!"

Xue Shao said: "The imperial court sent Wu Yizong, the general of Jin Wuwei, to Suizhou as a messenger to take over the money, grain, and thieves left by Bai Tieyu. I received news that Wu Yizong was secretly greedy for a large amount of stolen goods and had other illegal acts. Now I order you to closely monitor Wu Yizong's every move around the clock, and find out all the whereabouts of the stolen goods, money and grain, as well as the evidence of his violations and crimes! - Feel free to report to me! ”

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

The scouts dispersed at once, preparing for their own work.

Li Xianyuan was very curious and said, "How are these scouts so ghostly? Where did you get this group of people? Are they really that capable? ”

Xue Shao said with a smile: "As a military advisor, you actually don't know anything about your subordinates. Are you guilty? ”

Li Xianyuan smiled bitterly, "For more than a year, you have led the army to fight in the south and the north, and I have nothing to do in Chang'an. How is it possible for me to know anything about these strange people around you? ”

"There is some truth to that." Xue Shao smiled, "It seems that I need to give you some opportunities to improve your understanding of me and my colleagues." ”

"Of course!"

"Okay!" Xue Shao smiled, "Now, let's first enhance the understanding and colleague feelings between the two of us." ”

"Y-What do you want to do?" Li Xianyuan was frightened.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in men!" Xue Shao laughed.

Li Xianyuan shouted, "Me didn't either!" ”

"Go fetch water, Ben Shuai has to wash his feet!"

"......" Li Xianyuan's expression suddenly stiffened, and he said in pieces, "I understand, I'm a foot-washing military master!" ”

……

The efficiency and ability of Guo An and others really shocked Li Xianyuan. When they received Xue Shao's order to set off, it was already night. The next day, at dawn, important news was reported.

Wu Yizong sent a team of Jin Wuwei's henchmen who came with him two days ago to escort dozens of cars out of Suizhou. The chariots and horses used were the exclusive system for local prefectures and counties to pay taxes and tribute to the imperial court, and they carried with them the customs clearance documents developed by the Suizhou government.

It was the middle of the night when they left. The destination is Chang'an.

"This Wu Yizong is thoughtful." Li Xianyuan said, "The special tax trucks and horses they use from the government have customs clearance documents in their hands. Wherever the horses and horses went, they could pass unhindered without any suspicion or scrutiny. ”

Xue Shao said: "But we have to intercept it. Otherwise, once the things are transported to Chang'an, they will fall into his Wu Yizong's private pocket. ”

"But on what grounds?" Li Xianyuan spread his hands, "No one has the right to intercept the local states and counties paying taxes and contributing treasures to the imperial court, otherwise they will be complicit in rebellion!" ”

"What a joke!" Xue Shao made a blank face, "I am the governor of Xiazhou, and I can manage the finances of the state and county under my rule!" ――Suizhou wants to pay taxes to the imperial court and offer treasures, has it been inspected and approved by my Xue? ”

Li Xianyuan slapped his face, "The new officials took office with three fires and burned them to death!" ”

Xue Shao smiled coldly, today Lao Tzu also learned from the heroes of Liangshan, robbing the rich and helping the poor for the way of heaven!

……

Three fast horses galloped out of Suizhou City, looking away. In less than ten hours, Xue Chuyu led his five hundred jumping troops to gallop out of the camp and rush to the southeast to intercept Wu Yizong's convoy.

When the army travels on errands, the yamen at all levels in the local prefectures and counties have always been afraid. In addition, Xue Chuyu had the order of the Governor's Mansion issued by Xue Shao in his hand, and no one dared to stop him wherever he went, and all of them cooperated.

Easily, it took Xue Chuyu less than two days to catch up with Wu Yizong's convoy and intercept it.

This transport team came out under the guise of paying taxes by the government, and it traveled unhindered and was quite courteous. Responsible for escorting the materials was the grain Cao of the Suizhou Thorn History Mansion, surnamed Feng.

Feng joined the army at first, and scolded Xue Chuyu for "complicity in rebellion". As soon as Xue Chuyu lit up the order of the Governor's Mansion, he was completely wilted, and obediently took his more than 30 cars full of money and treasures to return to Xiazhou with Xue Chuyu.

Xue Chuyu looked at the cart full of gold and silver treasures, and his heart was secretly happy, now it's okay, Shuo Fangjun doesn't have to worry about running out of military salaries!

The carriage and horses walked very slowly, and when Xue Chuyu was still in Yanzhou, he ran into a large group of soldiers and horses head-on and was surrounded by regiments.

Xue Chuyu recognized it at a glance, half of them were Jin Wuwei's soldiers, and the other half, as expected, should be the soldiers of Tingchuan Mansion. Some of them are still familiar with Xue Chuyu, and they followed Xue Shao to participate in the battle to pacify Bai Tieyu.

The opponent's troops numbered no less than 2,000, and they were heavily armed and menacing.
