Chapter Seventy-Five: Carjacking
The favors owed always have to be repaid, even the tired marquis who was once the son of heaven is no exception, and on the way home, his team was stopped.
As a marquis who only had a fief in Yulu, his entourage was too large, with 20 cavalry guards, 10 honor guards of the Ministry of Rites, 30 Jingzhao Yin officials, 30 officers and soldiers of the City Patrol Division, and more than 20 followers sent by some unknown departments, adding up to more than 100 people, which was larger than the pomp and circumstance of the princes and kings who entered Beijing to worship.
is such a team, and actually met a group of people who blocked the road and begged for rewards.
The sloppiness of the Northern Army was notorious in the capital, and they were rarely seen in the previous power struggles of the imperial court, and they could often be seen shouting in the wine shops and brothels.
The night before, they had helped the Tired Hou get rid of a group of troublemakers, and they had left quietly, but they had come to ask for money for wine.
In fact, they were already drunk, laughing and crying, some were standing in the middle of the road, some were lying on the ground, and those who didn't know thought they were a bunch of beggars in armor.
"If Emperor Wu was alive, he would have beheaded them for public display." Fu Cheng said hatefully that after Emperor Wu, Da Chu even changed a few emperors, but he didn't have time to deal with the northern army.
"Okay, everyone knows that the Northern Army is so sloppy, it is the bane planted by Emperor Wu, even if it is disrespectful, I dare to say so." The lieutenant said that he was just a low-ranking official, and he was more daring when he spoke.
Yang Feng, who went to deal with the appreciators, hurriedly ran back, looking embarrassed, "I can't take care of it, these guys are simply scoundrels, and it wasn't these people who protected the tired marquis the night before, they just came to slander people under the banner of the Northern Army." I am a eunuch, in the Lord. The two are the Fu Cheng and the Fu Wei. Outside the main. Right? ”
The two had no choice but to take on this thankless errand.
The most effective means of the ruffians of the northern army was to scatter them with sticks, and the lieutenant had a plan in his heart, and the status of the cavalry guard was high, so he did not move, and he had to stay to protect the tired marquis, so he called several other teams to the front to repel the rewarders.
Fu Cheng stayed. shook his head vigorously, sighing that the present is not as good as in the past, "The Northern Army used to toss outside the city, but now it has entered the city, it's really ...... Hum. ”
Yang Fengyan and the others walked away, came to the front of the car, lifted the curtain, and said inside, "Come on." ”
Han Ruzi immediately jumped out.
Fu Cheng was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Tired Hou." You are a daughter, don't meet a group of soldiers. We'll be on our way right away. ”
Yang Feng blocked in the middle, "Don't be careless, who knows if there are people in the Northern Army who have ghosts, maybe this is a trap laid down, please get on the horse and go back home under the protection of the Xiao cavalry guard." ”
Yang Feng's words seemed to be reasonable, and Fu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and the tired marquis had already jumped on Yang Feng's horse and said to the twenty Xiao cavalry guards: "You have been ordered to protect me, now, come with me." ”
These horsemen saw with their own eyes that the general Zhonglang was respectful to the tired marquis, how could they have the slightest suspicion, and immediately claimed that they were right, turned the horse's head, and wanted to find another way with the tired marquis.
Fu Cheng felt that something was wrong at this time, and looked back, Fu Wei was leading people to drive the northern army on the front road, and he had a big advantage, and he would soon win, but it was too late to stop the tired marquis.
"Wait a minute...... I'll ...... with you."
Yang Feng hugged Fu Cheng by the waist and said with a smile: "It's not far from the Hou Mansion here, what do adults have to worry about?" ”
Fu Cheng was still struggling, and Han Ruzi had already run some distance with Xiao Cavalry and turned south into an alley.
Han Ruzi didn't know the road at all, and when he saw Cai Xinghai guarding the street corner from afar, he felt a little relieved, knowing that Yang Feng had arranged everything.
Cai Xinghai turned over and got on his horse and led the way in front.
The palace guards are divided into eight battalions, the common feature is that the clothes and armor are distinct, the cavalry guards are all gilded armor, holding guns and halberds more than a zhang long, extremely eye-catching, and the people on the street will give way to the passage from afar.
Huashi Lane is too close to the palace, Shuying Lane is already the territory of the Cui family, Cai Xinghai brought everyone into Buddha Lane Lane, on the way fast and slow, deliberately controlling the speed, until a knight of the Northern Army ran towards him, waved to him, Cai Xinghai began to move forward at full speed.
Han Ruzi suddenly had an idea, if Cai Xinghai led him in, he would not be able to escape this time, his mother warned him not to trust anyone, but since he left the palace, he has believed many people one after another.
This idea only existed for a short time, and Han Ruzi knew very well that if he wanted to do things, he had to take risks and rely on the strength of others, and being too suspicious would only make him a powerless "lonely man".
Buddha Lane is very narrow, barely able to accommodate two horses side by side, a team of more than ten people is walking in it, if not known in advance, no one would have thought that the waste queen was in it.
Most of the people in the team were on foot, and Han Ruzi was surprised to see two carriages.
Cai Xinghai broke up the entourage on foot in front and said loudly: "The car behind keeps up!" ”
There was a bold man in his retinue, "Who are you?" I don't know ...... in this car."
"Of course you do, but you don't recognize us?" Cai Xinghai turned and pointed to the approaching knight.
The man recognized the clothes of the Xiao cavalry guard, but he didn't recognize the tired marquis, and said blankly: "We are on the orders of the palace......
Cai Xinghai, like Yang Feng, is well versed in the way of bluffing, shouting in his mouth, waving a horsewhip, dispersing his entourage on foot like a chicken, looking at the two carriages, and saying to the coachman: "Come with me!" ”
Han Ruzi arrived, jumped off the horse, ran to the first carriage, lifted the curtain and took a look, it was Cui Xiaojun sitting inside, and shouted at him in surprise.
Time was pressing, Han Ruzi nodded at her, lowered the curtain, got on the horse again, and Cai Xinghai led the way, galloping towards Baiwang Lane, forgetting to say to Xiao Caiwei that he only brought a carriage.
These twenty cavalry guards were official guards, not the same as those who were named, and they would not show any doubts in their hearts, and their superiors had said that they would obey the orders of the tired marquis, and they would not ask a word, and they consciously divided into two teams, and guarded the two carriages in the middle.
The coachman was sent by the palace, just to catch the car, anyway, he followed the Xiao cavalry guard, and the accident had nothing to do with him, so he followed the car closely, and he didn't lag behind.
Stopping the car and disappearing, the whole process was only a short while, and there were more than ten entourages left in the Buddha Clothes Alley, looking at each other, and suddenly divided into two groups, one group ran back to the palace, and the other group ran to Shuying Lane, where Cui's house was located.
Han Ruzi led the team to join Yang Feng and others, and Cai Xinghai ran away halfway.
Fu Cheng and Fu Wei were angry, but they couldn't attack the tired marquis, and when they saw that he was fine, they were finally relieved, but when they saw the two extra carriages, they felt puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Yang Feng asked the two solemnly: "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Tired Hou Mansion, but family members can always do it." ”
"Uh...... Of course, but the tired marquis's family ......" Fu Cheng's face changed suddenly, and his voice trembled, "This, this can't be done, there is no order from the boss......"
"Did the boss say that the tired husband and wife were not allowed to reunite?"
Fu Cheng and Fu Wei couldn't answer, and when they were stunned, the Tired Marquis, Xiao Cavalry Guard, and two carriages had already passed by them, and Yang Feng also chased after them.
"I said this errand would be fatal, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!" Fu Cheng was full of remorse, and felt that he should have disobeyed his orders desperately in the morning and not come to the Hou Mansion to take office, but now he had no choice, and said to the Fu Wei: "You follow, I will go back to Zongzheng Mansion......"
Han Ruzi's heart was still pounding, and he said to Yang Feng, who caught up, "Everything is going well." ”
"I'll talk about it when I get home."
The team was already in chaos, except for the cavalry guards, who could still be lined up, and the soldiers sent by the other departments were all in a hurry, running behind the team.
When he arrived at Baiwang Lane, Yang Feng patted his horse and ran in front, ordering the side door to be wide open, allowing the team behind to drive directly into the front yard.
Han Ruzi got off the horse, and before the first car came again, the coachman was already hiding to the side, he opened the curtain, looked at Cui Xiaojun and smiled, and said, "I'm home." ”
Cui Xiaojun was so excited that he couldn't speak, he just nodded, his body was weak, and he was supported by Han Ruzi and got out of the carriage, the eunuch and the palace maid had been waiting for a long time, and immediately several palace maids stepped forward to greet the housewife.
There are also official slaves sent by Zongzheng Mansion in the house, and they are stupid and dare not come forward at all.
Han Ruzi said to Cui Xiaojun: "You go to rest first, and I'll come later." ”
Cui Xiaojun grabbed his hand and didn't let go, his eyes were full of tears, he was still speechless, the nervousness and insecurity in Han Ruzi's heart disappeared cleanly, so he smiled again, "Even if the Queen Mother comes in person, she can't take you away." ”
Cui Xiaojun nodded solemnly, then let go of his hand and went to the back house surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.
Han Ruzi boasted about Haikou, but he knew very well in his heart that he could keep his wife, the most important premise was that the Queen Mother would not meddle in things, Cui Taifu stayed in the Southern Army, did not enter the city for several months, and would not make an exception for his daughter, except for these two people, he was not afraid of others.
Yang Feng ordered the door to be closed, and was sending twenty Xiao cavalry guards to find a place to rest, Han Ruzi walked to the second carriage with a few eunuchs, he was so excited just now that he forgot to ask his wife who was in the back car, and he regretted a little in his heart, he should have been calmer before, and left the car in place.
Han Ruzi lifted the curtain and saw a terrified face. As soon as he looked at him, the other party was stunned, and he was also stunned.
"It's you!" Both shouted at the same time.
Zhang Youcai glanced at it curiously, and was also surprised: "King of the East China Sea!" ”
The King of the East Sea was frightened and desperately hid back, "Where is this?" What did you bring me for? You're not the emperor anymore, and it's not going to end well if you kill me. ”
Han Ruzi smiled, "This is my home, I didn't want to kill you, I didn't even know that you were out of the palace, it was an accident." ”
The king of the East China Sea seemed to believe it or not, and looked outside a few times, the night was falling, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but once he calmed down a little, his reaction was quick, "Oh, you're going to rob my cousin and bring me here." ”
Han Ruzi put away her smile, "You didn't bully her, did you?" ”
"We got in the car separately and hadn't seen her in months, so how could we be bullied...... You are too bold to rob people! ”
Han Ruzi began to think normally, "The Queen Mother sent you out of the palace too, who does she want to make the emperor?" ”
The King of the East China Sea snorted angrily, "We have all been deceived, and the Cui family has also been deceived." ”
