"Hutchison, what a boldness!"

Even if he was the one who was threatened, Yao Zongwen couldn't help but praise it.

The officials of the dynasty have a gold medal for avoiding death, generally speaking, the officials who were executed in a year are counted in a slap, and the officials who were executed had a clear name and were in a prominent position, after Emperor Yingzong, only Shizong was the most shocked when he killed Xia Yan, in addition, the officials were generally dismissed or imprisoned, the court battle was the most serious injury, but it could bring great benefits, it can be said that the court battle was immediately famous all over the world, just by virtue of this reputation can go all over the world are respected and worshipped, so quite a lot of civil officials are not afraid of the court war, On the contrary, it is like a moth to a fire, one after the other.

Yao Zongwen since he became an official, never thought that there would be a day when his life would be threatened, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the previous dynasty, except for the life of officials during the Hongwu period, there is almost nothing to be executed after that, in the later years of Sejong, Hai Rui almost pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded, the result is not a, the civil officials have formed a whole and a group, at that time to rescue the same way is the overall force, as strong as Emperor Sejong, it is not impossible to do what he wants.

In the year of the Apocalypse, Zuo Guangdou and others did not die of imperial power, but died of civil infighting, if Wei Zhongxian was not surrounded by those civil officials of the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party and Qi Party, with his power as the eunuch of Dongchang, he would have killed and bullied some small civil officials who were not in the stream, and it would be impossible to deal with civil officials at Zuo Guangdou's level.

Yao Zongwen is also the most core member of the civil official group, he never thought of being threatened with his life, once the matter comes, the usual qi cultivation kung fu is of course useless, and people who have not experienced the sense of oppression that is the same as the substance will not understand.

After sitting in the chair for a long time, Yao Zongwen felt that his robe was soaked, but he was also calm, thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind and said, "Come on, prepare the car!" ”

……

Yao Wu'er is five short in stature, his body has been fat, and he is like a round bucket when he walks on the road.

He walked on a street in Yongping Mansion, not far from Yaqian Street, which was facing east and west, and very close to the garrison in the city, the residence of an adjutant general and the barracks area where his soldiers and horses were stationed.

Of course, there are also ordinary people, and along the way, there are large and small houses and courtyards on both sides of the street, and there are many pedestrians.

The melodious sound of the time signal came from the bell and drum tower in the distance, and Yao Wu'er listened to it and knew that it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

Now there are many people who are accustomed to using the time-sharing method of the Taixi people, instead of remembering what time it is, which can be regarded as a subtle change, after all, it is still clear which time-sharing is convenient.

There are also straw huts in many places along the street, Yao Wu'er looked at the people living in the straw huts quite carefully, most of them looked blank, there was no look in their eyes, and even a dead ash, most of them sat in a daze, or lay down early, to recover from the fatigue of the day.

These are the Liao people, from the forty-seventh year of Wanli there are Liao people have escaped from the customs one after another, this is a particularly cautious and cautious people, there are also a lot of civilians with the big families all the way to run, although they are very hard, when they just ran over, they can be called the wind and food to sleep, often hungry, the court has never thought of resettle these fleeing refugees, they do not give food and clothing, sleeping on the streets, every day a large number of refugees die on the streets, it is really miserable.

Later, the government successively organized large households to give porridge, at least let the refugees eat enough, and then gradually diverted, you can also find some things to do in the city, but the place of residence has not been solved, the refugees have already bought their own land, bought land and bought houses to live, and the displaced people on the streets are ordinary civilians, who may have been in a good family, but fled in a hurry, the original land furniture and other types have no way to bring out, except for the clothes and some soft after almost no strengths, there are more than ten or twenty taels of silver to defend themselves, How willing to take out all the money to rent a house for a year, sleeping in the open is not a long-term way, so the streets are refugees who build their own sheds to live, and the government does not come to drive them away because they know the difficulties, and the long-term time is also a problem.

Of course, Yao Wu'er didn't come to sympathize with the difficulties of the refugees, he had just moved to Yongping Mansion not long ago, he had a lot of money on his body, and he was a lone man in his prime, how could he live alone for a long time, there were many girls here for refugees, Yao Wu'er planned to pick a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with outstanding appearance, and accept him as a concubine to serve by his side.

Although he is a descendant of Yaofu, he has already married a wife and had children, and he has already accepted two concubines.

After walking around the shack area of Long Street twice, although I saw several people of the right age, they didn't look very attractive to Yao Wu'er, one of them was not bad, but his expression was too dull, it seemed that a relative had just passed away, there was a rancid smell around him, and the hair on his head was like a chicken nest.

He bought a roast chicken and a bottle of soju on the street corner, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and slowly walked back to his small courtyard humming a little song.

This is a small courtyard with one entry, three north house main rooms, two side rooms, a gatehouse, in addition to the kitchen and thatched house, although the sparrow is small and complete, this small courtyard is Yao Zongwen bought for Yao Wu'er to live, it used one hundred and sixty taels of silver, the price is expensive, plus Yao Wu'er carried two hundred taels and the silver ticket of the accounting bureau, as well as dozens of taels of scattered silver, enough for him to live comfortably for five or six years, after a few years, the wind passed, Master Yao promised to reward him with a few hundred more silver, and then he could bring his family over, The whole family gathers for fun.

Thinking of the future, Yao Wu'er's heart was relaxed for a while, and the little song humming in her mouth became a little brighter.

Because of the fear of accidental exposure, Yao Wu'er did not hire a servant, only a woman on the corner of the street came every few days to get clothes back to wash, usually he lived alone, after entering the courtyard door, he was very careful to lock the courtyard door, and then directly into the north house, it was already dark, he lit the lamp and candle, and at the same time as the fire was lit, the two men in black were sitting on the official hat chair in the middle of the north house, smiling at Yao Wu'er.

"There are thieves!"

Yao Wu'er's first feeling was that the blood all over his body was coagulated, and his reaction was also very fast, throwing the soju in his left hand and the roast chicken in his right hand, and then turning around and running.

"Where do you want to go? Be honest. When Yao Wu'er turned around, he found that there were two people standing on the side of the two doors behind him, and he wanted to run out at the same time, people had already stood up, and the two shot together, Yao Wu'er was also a fierce man who had practiced martial arts for more than ten years, punching and kicking, he wanted to break through the line of defense, how did he expect the other party to be more skilled, the two cooperated, grabbed one gear and grabbed it, and then rubbed their bodies together, and shot separately, between the lightning and flint, after a few moves with each other, Yao Wu'er had been held down by his arm, and the whole person was pressed to the ground.

"You are not thieves, are you Jinyiwei, or the soldiers of Dongchang, or the fine work of Dongyu?"

After a moment, Yao Wu'er had already understood that the other party was not a thief, of course, it was impossible for him to kidnap himself, but it was more likely to be Jinyi Weiqi School.

Several men in black glanced at each other and laughed.

A man in black smiled and said, "Jinyiwei? They have this ability, as soon as they leave Beijing, the whole world knows about it, except for taking the unread holy decree to get people, what other skills do they have now? Can they get to Yong Binh Mansion in three days and find the yard based on the records of the most recent purchases and purchases of houses? Can you determine that you are Yao Wu'er, the subordinate of Yao Mansion, based on the description of the tooth man? And according to the information of the Yao Mansion, it can be determined that you are the one who was sent to the other side of the Liuhe River to ventilate the news? ”

"You even know that?" Yao Wu'er's face is like ashes, he is the son of the Yao family, and he has worked in the Yao family since his grandfather's generation, so no matter how secret Yao Zongwen wants him to do it, there are no two words, including communicating with the student Liu Boqiao in private, crossing the river to inform the Jurchens to prepare for battle, these things are all done by Yao Wu'er, of course he knows that this is a very taboo and a secret matter related to life and death, if he is not a child, and Yao Zongwen can't kill Liu Boqiang, Song Sheng and him all in one ancient mind, otherwise, Yao Wu'er felt that she was also the one who should be killed. Now that the head of the family has bought the mansion and given the silver, it can be seen that he will not be extinguished, but he does not even dare to dream of such a big event, once this matter is exposed, not only his master Yao Zongwen will not be able to save his life, but a small person like him will not be able to escape Ling Chi's death...... This is almost a sure result, and there is not the slightest doubt about it.

was caught by these people, and said the most secret thing to worry about, Yao Wu'er's whole body softened, and the thing he was most afraid of and worried about was the scene in front of him, and the whole person crossed in an instant.

"It's a waste of one, and it's a shame that he did such a big thing." The leader of the action group who sneaked into the room with people looked disgusted, and he didn't bother to say more to Yao Wu'er, so he crooked his mouth and ordered: "Do what you are told." ”

"Yes."

A man in black laughed, Yao Wu'er watched him pull out a short knife, and his whole body trembled with fright, but he couldn't struggle, the hands of the other two pressed him like iron tongs, and when one of his hands was placed on the table, he understood what the other party was going to do, he wanted to shout, but a hand clamped at his Adam's apple, he couldn't even snort, seeing that the man in black was quite skillful in swinging his knife, it was slashing at the wrist joint, blood burst out, and the other party immediately put the severed hand in a leather bag, Suddenly, there was no trace at all, and then he bandaged Yao Wu'er with medicinal wool, Yao Wu'er looked at all this in front of him with a blank face, as if it was not his own hand that was cut off, until the cool cotton wool was applied to the severed hand, he felt a sharp pain, and the whole person jumped up like a shrimp, and a dull roar of pain also came from the throat that was stuck.
