Chapter 64: The Spring of the Second Year of Jiaxi
"General Qi! What does this mean? ”
Even if Du Shuixian saw Qi Tai doing such a moralistic thing in his cultivation, he couldn't help but lose patience, and the cold light flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he shouted coquettishly.
The few strong men behind her who had already relaxed their hands also touched their waists and abdomen again, looking at Qi Tai and the others with murderous eyes. On the other side, the soldiers in front of the palace were also well aware of the temperament of these people, but the swords that had been put down were raised again.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense again, and the two sides drew their swords and crossbows, and if they disagreed, they would start to do it.
"Hey, Du. Ben took the money and it was true, but when did Ben say that he was going to release him? Besides, it's all dirty silver, but it was supposed to be handed over to the treasury. I can't afford to take dirty silver. ”
"The Dog Thief ......"
"Shut up!" Qi Tai's face changed and he burst out, staring viciously at the strong man behind Du Shuixian who had just scolded him for a while, and then looked at Du Shuixian with a cloudy look on his face and said with a yin smile: "Master Du, don't you really know what happened in Lin'an City today?" With Du Dang's brothers all over Lin'an City, when will any turmoil in Lin'an City be able to hide from Du Dang's family? Could it be that Du Dangjia is ...... Is there a ghost in my heart who is so anxious to drive me away? ”
In the past, Du Narcissus had a lot of filial piety, but he would never give such casualness, and he could not hold back in the face of such a lightness, which was really a bit abnormal.
"Giggles."
Du Shuixian was stunned for a moment when he heard Qi Tai's words, and then laughed coquettishly, and the two balls of tender flesh on his chest continued to tremble, as if they could bounce out of the thin clothes at any time.
Looking at Du Shuixian who was trembling with smiling flowers, the soldiers in front of the surrounding halls, including Qi Tai, were all secretly dry for a while. What's more, he has quietly bowed up in an extremely awkward posture.
He's a fucking goblin. Qi Tai bowed slightly in his lower abdomen, swallowed his saliva and cursed secretly.
Qi Dutou laughed, Narcissus is just a weak female stream begging for food in Lin'an City. Thanks to the promotion of all parties, he barely gained some fame, how dare Narcissus rush all the heads away? ”
Du Shuixian stroked the hair on his forehead and said with a smile.
"Humph! At noon today, Meng Dashuai returned to Beijing to report on his work and was assassinated by dozens of gangsters on the royal street, and the saint was furious, so Qi Mou also did it according to orders, Du Dangjia, everyone or please! ”
Qi Tai did not continue to argue with Du Shuixian, Du Shuixian's evasive and light speech made him even more sure in his heart, Du Shuixian must know something, and it is not necessary to be an accomplice if he can't get it right.
If this Du Shuixian is really an accomplice, then he will arrest them and ask what he will do, even if Prime Minister Cui Cheng behind Du Shuixian returns to Lin'an City, what can he do?
When Du Shuixian heard Qi Tai's words, his face changed for a while.
"Qi Dutou, since he is ordered to do it, Narcissus naturally has to follow the decree of the imperial court and is willing to go with Qi Dutou. It's just that Narcissus is the big boss in the door, presumably there is Narcissus alone in this matter, can the brothers in the door not go together? Hehe, today Narcissus dares to ask Qi Dutou for personal favors, how about a heavy thank you in the future? ”
"Hehe, if Du Dangjia's love was on weekdays, he would have been unwanted. It's just that this time is different from the past, and Qi doesn't want to lose his head by letting go of the assassin for the sake of beauty. ”
When has Qi Tai ever seen "Poison Narcissus" begging for someone in such a low voice, when his heart is refreshed, he still hasn't forgotten to take advantage of it in his mouth.
Du Shuixian's face changed slightly. At this point, anyone knows that Qi Tai is determined to bring them back.
"But don't worry too much. This time the matter was too important, the saint was furious, and the idle Shen Guogong was ordered to come out to coordinate the arrest of the assassins in Lin'an Mansion and the front division of the palace, and the various docks in Lin'an City would not be pulled down. Du Dangjia will meet a lot of acquaintances at that time. Just listen to the movement outside. ”
Qi Tai was also worried that Du Shuixian's group of people would be really in a hurry. Although there are more than 100 people around him, he knows very well that if Du Shuixian is forced to be anxious, he still doesn't know what will happen to others, but Du Shuixian can still kill him. Everyone else is already dead, what is the use of beauty and merit?
When these words came out, Qi Tai obviously felt that Du Shuixian and the group of subordinates behind him were slightly relaxed.
Also, if it's really just for Du Shuixian, it's just a death anyway, so it's better to be willing to kill it first. Now since Zhilu Dao is not specifically aimed at them, then it is easy to say.
"Can Narcissus send a letter to her stepmother?"
Du Shuixian touched Xiao Liu'er's head and said lightly. Since there was nothing more to say, she naturally wouldn't give Qi Tai a good face anymore.
In fact, what Qi Tai thought was not much different from the truth. Du Shuixian did know some inside stories about Meng Hui's assassination. It's just that he is also a person in the Tao, and he also has some connections with some people, so he can't say it, but he does have some scruples in his heart.
"Hehe, Du is at home. But this epistle ......"
"Narcissus sent it to someone, of course, if Qi Dutou is not at ease, he can also send someone to follow."
"Ha Luha, where is Du Dangjia, how can Qi not believe Du Dangjia. That's good, Du Dangjia wrote a letter and sent it to someone. However, Lin'an City is a little chaotic, and the general still sends two soldiers to follow to avoid a lot of trouble, right? ”
Du Shuixian hurriedly wrote a few words with a pen, sealed it and handed it to the little four who had been called before. Soon, Xiao Si disappeared into the night under the escort of the four front hall soldiers.
"Du Dangjia, everyone, please."
……
Indeed, as Qi Tai said, the same thing is playing out in various parts of Lin'an City.
This night, the large and small dock gangs in Lin'an City were swept away by the front division of the palace and the patrol of Lin'an Mansion, and all kinds of people from the three sects and nine streams, etc., the prison in Lin'an City could no longer be contained.
……
Lin'an Mansion Yahou Hall.
Zhao Qi looked at Jia Yidao, who pushed Zheng Qingzhi back without being soft or hard, and an expression that seemed to be a smile flashed on his face.
I have long heard that Uncle Jia Guo's temperament has changed greatly after escaping from death, and today I have seen it.
Zheng Qingzhi, the old fox, thought that Jia Yidao was young and impulsive, so he wanted him to take the lead, so that even if the assassin really couldn't catch him, the emperor, who wanted to let his brother-in-law come to make political achievements and qualifications, would not punish him too much. But I didn't expect that this little uncle was even more cunning than the old fox, and he was not fooled at all.
originally thought that Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi were teaming up to deal with themselves, but now it seems that Jia Yidao and Zheng Qingzhi are not very right.
It seems that today's Zheng Kuo matter still needs to be planned again. It would be best if you could not be the enemy.
"Shi Xian is too modest."
was seen through by Jia Yidao and pushed back that it was neither soft nor hard, which made Zheng Qingzhi really a little embarrassed, and picked up the teacup to cover up.
"Ha Luha, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run, Zheng Gong's worries about the official family really make me sigh to myself." Yu Tianxi watched it for a long time, and he had an intuitive understanding of Jia Yidao, and laughed out loud.
"The old man is ashamed, ashamed!"
After Yu Tianxi played a round, Zheng Qingzhi also went down the slope.
"Hehe, although the good counselor doesn't have it, but some ideas can be said to the three adults, and the three adults are asked to mention them."
It's true that Jia Rudao doesn't want to be Zheng Qingzhi's pawn, but he really wants to help Zhao Yun save face this time.
Sister, well, although it's a very strange thing, but to have such a former stranger cares and loves you regardless of everything, whether you want to or not, some resistance and some discomfort, but it feels really good.
As for the cheap brother-in-law, although he is a womanizer, he immediately empathized and said goodbye to his sister not long after he died, but at least he did a good job when the cheap sister was still alive.
Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. What's more, he has always disliked debt.
This time, it should be as if he paid back the cheap brother-in-law in return for such a heavy position.
Zheng Qingzhi was stunned and looked at Jia Rudao with a teacup, is he really old so his ears are also deaf? This kid who doesn't eat oil and salt just pushed himself back, and now he has some ideas? However, what are the differences between some ideas and good strategies? Are they two different words?
Here, Yu Tianxi and Zhao Qi were also a little stunned.
Just now, Jia Yidao pushed Zheng Qingzhi back just a few days ago, right? In the blink of an eye, this kid sent himself in again?
Jia Yidao smiled and shrugged his shoulders and nodded with his hands.
glanced at Zheng Qingzhi sympathetically, Yu Tianxi understood that this kid wanted to do something, but he just didn't want to be used as a gunman.
Zheng Gong is too anxious, how can this kid have the momentum of a young man, he is completely an old fox who has suffered an accident.
"Shi Xian, come quickly." Yu Tianxi hurriedly said, for fear that Jia Rudao would change his mind again.
Zhao Qi looked at Jia Rudao, who looked calm, thoughtfully.
"My lord, is the prison in Lin'an City overcrowded now?" Glancing at the quiet and somewhat abnormal Zhao Qi, Jia seemed to hug his fists.
"What Shi Xian said is true, Lin'an Mansion and the front division of the palace have arrested countless people from the three sects and nine streams in Lin'an City, and many of them are on the way back at this moment."
"Then let them all go, and those who are still escorted back don't need to be escorted back." Gently closing the tea lid, Jia Rudao put the teacup on the round table and said lightly.
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Qi, who had been very quiet, finally couldn't stand it anymore at this time, and looked at Jia Rudao and snorted coldly.
"Shi Xian...... This is...... Why? Yu Tianxi obviously didn't expect Jia Yidao to say such a solution, although he was also a little surprised, but he was much calmer than Zhao Qi.
"It is true that for Meng Shuai's assassination of dozens of assassins, there will always be people from so many sects and nine streams in Lin'an City who have met with them or have had contact with them, but with so many people, how can they find out who are those assassins or are their accomplices?
I think you are thinking about arresting these people and slowly interrogating them. But God only gave me a one-month wait. In January, I'm afraid we haven't finished judging such a large number of big brothers from all walks of life.
Besides, the law does not blame the public, not to mention that there are obviously not many people who have colluded with the assassins, otherwise the Lin'an Mansion and the palace front division would have received the news a long time ago. Most people are still innocent.
Which of these people doesn't have a large gang under him? If there is a riot, will they all be killed? Not to mention, now that the Mongols are the enemy, I'm afraid they are looking forward to my Great Song Dynasty chaos.
If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you arrest all these people, you will also arrest their disciples and grandchildren. This has just begun, and the prison in Lin'an Mansion can't be fitted anymore, where is it placed? If the Assassins took the opportunity to make trouble again and set a few fires in the prison and burned some people to death, wouldn't the disciples of those people make trouble?
Along the way, most of what Shi Xian saw was doing the looting in the name of searching. What about manhunting? If it goes on like this, Duke Yu and Gong Zheng, I'm afraid that the assassins like us won't be able to find out, but will be pointed out by all the people in the world, and they will be hated by the people of Lin'an City for the sake of the saint!
Now that the country of our Great Song Dynasty is in difficulty, there are strong enemies watching on one side, and if there is civil chaos inside. Hmph, once there is a change, we will be the sinners of the Great Song Dynasty through the ages! ”
Jia Rudao ignored Zhao Qi, flicked his fingers on the table, and sighed softly.
As soon as they spoke, Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi were already dripping in a cold sweat when they listened.
As important ministers in the court, they didn't think of these things, but now in order to give Zhao Yun an explanation, some things were deliberately neglected by them, plus they are all in high positions, and they rarely have the opportunity to be grounded, so they automatically ignore the lowest and most basic people.
On the surface, the only one who can barely maintain his composure is Zhao Qi, but it can be seen from Zhao Qi's hand that constantly rubs the armrest of the Taishi chair that his heart is far less calm than it appears on the surface.
Zheng Qingzhi hurriedly shook off his hot and painful hand, and said embarrassedly: "Shi Xian continued." ”
"Not only do I want to release all the people who have been arrested, but I also hope that Gong Zheng, Duke Yu and General Zhao will not do that curfew from tonight, and don't let the patrols and the soldiers in front of the palace search around, especially don't do the thing of breaking in, whether they are searching for assassins or taking the opportunity to prey on the people, I think the three adults know better than Shi Xian."
"This ...... If the Holy Lord asked...... Zheng Qingzhi stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.
He can see it now, Jia Rudao doesn't want to come out, but he doesn't want to be used as a gunman, and the current situation is that he not only wants to come forward, but also seems to have the intention of taking over the whole matter of this arrest.
Being able to throw away such a hot potato, Zheng Qingzhi was naturally very happy in his heart.
"Gong Zheng don't worry, the Holy Master will naturally give an explanation. When Shi Xian waits, he will enter the palace and ask to see the Holy One. Jia Rudao threw Zheng Qingzhi a look of contempt and said lightly.
"So good! So much better! Zheng Qingzhiquan didn't see Jia Nidao's eyes, anyway, he also knew that he couldn't take Jia Nidao, and more importantly, although this kid was unruly, he was still very good when it came to big things.
Of course, at least that's how it looks now.
"Then how about this matter, how about all according to what Shi Xian said?" Yu Tianxi glanced at Zhao Qi.
"Wait, the old man thought that Duke Yu could enter the palace with the old man to face the saint, and asked His Majesty to issue an edict to hand over all this matter to Shi Xian. The future is terrifying, Yu Gong, how about working with the old man to give Shi Xian a hand? ”
Zheng Qingzhi stroked his beard and sighed.
"I don't dare to ask for it!" Yu Tianxi replied with a smile, and then looked at Zhao Qi, who looked uncertain: "I don't know what Lord Zhao wants?" ”
"This will be Your Majesty's edict!" Zhao Qi glanced at Jia Yidao and said coldly.
Zhao Qi knew very well that he was not very treated by Zhao Yun in the first place, but now that it is clear that Zhao Yun wants to praise his brother-in-law Jia Yidao, Yu Tianxi can say that he was originally used as a springboard, and of course he is willing to be a springboard. It's just that Zheng Qingzhi, an old thing, didn't want to give Jia Yidao shamelessly, this hairy boy who was said to have not given him any face at the Seyuan Poetry Meeting, and it was really unexpected by Zhao Qi.
The two old guys have clearly identified their support, and Zheng Qingzhi himself is the person responsible for the overall planning of this matter, don't think about it, Zhao Yun, who already wants to support his brother-in-law, will definitely agree.
"Hehe, Shi Xian is grateful for the love of the two adults, but Shi Xian thinks that this matter does not have to be so. There is still Zheng Gong in charge, Shi Xian is just giving the two elders a hand to listen to the mention, so it's good. ”
Zheng Qingzhi's thoughts were a little uncertain, but he never thought of taking the lead himself. It is enough to hide behind these old foxes and do what needs to be done.
Making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king's way.
"This ...... Shi Xian......"
"Zheng Gong's mind is enough for Shi Xian, but to be honest, after Shi Xian escaped death in a catastrophe, he lacked interest in the official career, but as a courtier, it is within his duty to share the worries of the saint, so he doesn't have to be too public."
When Zheng Qingzhi, Yu Tianxi, and Zhao Qi heard Jia Nidao's words, their eyes widened and they all looked at Jia Nidao in amazement.
They never thought that today they would hear Jia Yidao personally say that he was not interested in being an official. There is Tianzi No. 1 thigh on it to hold, so it's not a smooth step in the officialdom? Who doesn't want to be in power?
Jia Rudao looked at Zheng Qingzhi and the three of them calmly, and nodded affirmatively.
The three of them looked at Jia Nidao with a calm face, and they understood that it was such a Tianzi No. 1 thigh, but Jia Nidao really didn't seem to want to hug it. And listening to his tone, making this general judgment today seems to be more like really helping the emperor.
Give the Emperor a hand!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi hurriedly shook their heads and drove it out of their brains.
Does the Emperor need someone to help?
This one...... It's really hard to say!
Glancing at each other with a wry smile, Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi didn't know whether the two of them should be happy or sorry, and sighed lightly and stopped mentioning the matter of entering the palace.
They all saw the determination in Jia Yidao's eyes, which didn't seem to be joking at all.
"In this way, the old man and Yu Gong will steal the merits of Shi Xian."
"I don't dare to ask for it! Shi Xian, thank you two adults and General Zhao for mentioning it! ”
Jia Rudao hugged his fist at Zhao Qi and saluted, making Zhao Qi slightly stunned.
has not reached the point where the winner must be divided, and there will be no loss of a piece of meat if you have a good fate?
……
At the end of March of the second year of Jiaxi (1238 AD), because of an assassination that seemed to have a deep layout, Jia Rudao was promoted to the sixth rank of the Great Song Dynasty Lin'an Mansion by Sheng'en as a first-class jinshi and first, and officially set foot in the Great Song Dynasty Hall that he did not want to enter, and took over the important task of arresting the assassins.
