Chapter 129: Secret Arrest

Yiyu stood until Xu Wei's back was unstoppable, and then he mentioned Jiaojia Wagan and didn't take a few steps, and then he heard the sound of hooves behind him, and looked back, how did he come back again?

"In September, can you ride a horse?" Before the horse stopped, Xu Wei asked quickly.

Zhang Jiujiu saw that there was an anxious look on his face, and replied very simply: "Yes!" ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to her, and took out something from his side and handed it to her: "You ride my war horse to Mu garrison net, pass on my military order, and order the head of the capital Li Guan to bring more than ten capable people into the city immediately." ”

Zhang Jiujiu looked at the object in Xu Wei's hand. But it is a bronze Zhu Ji. Shangxuan "Daimyo Jingsui Township Yongying Commander Envoy". took Zhu Ji and put it away, and without asking the reason, he threw the basket, ran over in a few big strides, turned over and stepped on the war horse, and his movements were so skillful that even people like Xu Wei who rode horses every day sighed to themselves. As soon as the reins were lifted, the yellow horse neighed, and the man stood up! It's really a sassy one!

Just as he was urging the horse forward, Xu Wei suddenly grabbed her hand: "Remember not to leak the slightest wind."

Looking at the other party's hand on his wrist, September felt a panic in his heart, and after a moment, he nodded solemnly. Without much to say, he waved his whip and galloped away. Why did you burn your eyebrows when Xu Wei was just because he mentioned in September that this is where the Hongdonkey Temple is located, that is, the institution that receives foreign guests. Xu Wei suddenly thought that Han Fang's minions had been killed by himself, and although he didn't know it now, he would definitely be suspicious when he saw that he hadn't returned tonight.

It is highly likely that they will flee overnight. However, the concept of secrecy of people in this era is not strong, and Han Fang's minions can move around, which shows that the imperial court did not restrict his actions, and even did not send people to monitor them. The worst thing is that Tokyo is one of the largest metropolises of its time, and trade is extremely prosperous, so the gates of Tokyo open very early but close very late. It also brought convenience to Han Fang's escape. Once the person escapes. The consequences would be catastrophic. Although he reminded Zhao Huan, after he decided to arrange it again, Han Fang was afraid that he would no longer be in Tokyo. Therefore, no matter what, first send someone to monitor the subordinate pavilion of Honglu Temple.

Looking at the sky, it is estimated that it has reached 100 hours, and in another hour, it will be dark. I hope that September will go and things will go smoothly. Suddenly, I thought that I hadn't seen that Han Fang, let alone Li Guan and the others, even if he was in front of you and you couldn't recognize him, how could this be good?

Forbidden Palace, Vertical Arch Palace.

Zhao Huan summoned Xu Wei after summoning him. I couldn't make up my mind for a while. He ordered someone to go to the palace Zhongshu Provincial Political Affairs Hall to summon Li Gang to interrogate. After briefly informing Li Shaozai of the matter, ask about the countermeasures. Li Gang strongly agreed with Xu Wei's opinion, believing that Han Fang should be arrested immediately and strictly guarded. Zhao Huan finally agreed under his persuasion.

"The Jin people are pressing forward step by step, bullying me too much, Your Majesty, I hope to make a decision as soon as possible, and do my best to support the seed master." Li Gang said worriedly.

Zhao Huan sat behind the case and was speechless for a long time. Then he sighed softly. Said helplessly: "That's the only way." ”

When Li Gang heard this, he was a little relieved, and after bidding farewell to the official's house, he wanted to leave the palace. At this moment, when he saw the emperor shooting the case, he looked panicked! Puzzled, he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, this is Xie."

"Not good!" Zhao Huan sat back in despair. "Jin Ren worked carefully and fought with Xu Wei's soldiers. Get rid of a few people, if you sneak back to the capital to report to Han Fang"

Li Gang was shocked for a while! If Han Fang escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Boji! Spread the edict and ordered the palace marshal Wang Zongchu to immediately send troops to capture Han Fang! After a while, Zhao Huan said loudly.

"Your Majesty, no! There are many people in Beijing, and if the forbidden army is sent to arrest them, the news will inevitably be leaked! Li Gang immediately played.

Zhao Huan thought about it and said it reasonably. But what if you don't send a forbidden army to take people? Then he asked, "In Qing's opinion."

"Xu Wei!" Li Gang said, "Xu Wei is calm and can be appointed. And its official rank is not high, the relationship is simple, and it will not cause extraneous branches. After Han Fang was arrested, he didn't have to be detained in Beijing, so he ordered Xu Wei to supervise him in the Mutuowang military camp. Infallible. ”

Zhao Huan nodded frequently, yes, the Jin people spying on our military situation, and the other forbidden troops had no intention of taking precautions, so that the incident was leaked, but Xu Wei's department was well guarded, and the matter was handed over to him, which was indeed the most suitable person.

"Good! Just play according to Qing! Xu Wei has just left the palace, you will catch up immediately with the edict! Tell him to be careful! After the deed is completed, there will be a heavy reward! ”

Li Gang ordered to leave the palace and hurriedly went outside the palace. Out of the forbidden middle, just across the horse, I saw a horse galloping, who is not Xu Wei? With great joy in his heart, he stepped forward and shouted, "Ziang! ”

It turned out that after thinking about it carefully, Xu Wei decided to enter the palace to discuss with Li Gang.

Han Fang was an envoy of the Jin State, and the only people who could meet him were the emperor, but the ruling minister. Among the prime ministers, he is only familiar with Li Gang. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet here.

The two got off their mounts together, and Li Gang pulled Xu Wei to a secluded place and told the story concisely. The latter was secretly happy when he heard it, and Zhao Huan reacted quite quickly!

"You go to Mu Camel Network to deploy troops and horses, and it will change later!" Li Gang looked serious and said in a deep voice.

Xu Wei groaned for a while, shook his head and said, "This matter should not be too public, it should be arrested secretly." The lowly appointed men of the right were taken off their armor and wore only civilian clothes. ”

Li Gang thought so and praised: "Zi Angguo is careful. It's so good, it's safe and it's secret. It's just that you don't know Han Fang and the others, so it's better to enter the museum with me, it is difficult to be sudden, and it is the best policy. After speaking, without waiting for Xu Wei to respond, he shook his head again and said, "It's not appropriate!" There are a few people in that class, and Han Fang may have learned the news now! In this way, you go to transfer people, and I will immediately go to the Hongdonkey Temple Pavilion Station! ”

Xu Wei said that it was good, and the two immediately went their separate ways. Xu Wei had already asked Zhang Jiujiu to rush to Mu Camel Net, so naturally he didn't need to adjust it again, so he pretended to go out of the city and left without showing it. It is said that Li Gang rushed to Honglian Temple in a hurry, and he did not know that the officials of Hongdonkey Temple would go directly to the pavilion to receive foreign envoys. When asked the relevant personnel, this Great Song Cixiang was terrified! Han Fang has been out since noon and has not returned!

Li Gang stood outside the pavilion. There was a lot of chaos for a while. Could it be that the other party has received the news and has absconded from the city? If so. As a last resort, a large army could only be sent to pursue him. In this way, the news cannot be kept.

When he was worried, the earman pointed behind his back and shouted, "The golden envoy has returned." ”

My heart was shocked, and I suddenly returned. Sure enough, the three of them were coming this way. For a person, about fifty years old, born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, quite the style of an elder, wearing a butterfly head, wearing Hanfu, elegant and graceful. The air is magnificent. Compared to the pedestrians on the street, it really stands out from the crowd. This person is the golden envoy Han Fang, the word Gongmei, a native of Yanjing. Born in a family of eunuchs in Liao. He was the first champion in the second year of Tianqing, the last emperor of Liao. After the fall of the Khitan. With the official rank of Shaofu and Shaoqing, he was reused, and he has been sent to Goryeo and other countries.

Li Gang secretly exclaimed that he was happy, hurriedly stepped down the steps, and asked, "Where did Master Han come from?" Han Fang sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty as a scholar of Hanlin, and Li Gang called him accordingly.

Han Fang, do it, two-sided. Slightly bowed to Mai Lixiao, and said without hurry: "I can smell the great Xiangguo resort in Tokyo, and take the opportunity to visit."

Li Gang's expression did not change, and he asked again, "How?" ”

"It's well deserved, haha." Han Fang laughed. Li Gang laughed when he heard this, but his heart was already full of anger! Folklore; The dog that bites does not bark, and this is used on this person. It's really apt! Plain Suli, a humble gentleman, who knows that he is a sinister and cunning person! You laugh, I'll see you laugh later!

The two laughed dryly for a while, and Han Fang suddenly asked, "Why is the young prime minister here?" ”

"Oh, I have some questions to ask your envoy about the peace between the two countries, so I have come." Li Gang remained silent.

Han Fang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, the diplomacy between the two countries is the most important etiquette. Whatever is discussed, it must go to the relevant place. There is no official business in the pavilion, and the ministers of the visited countries are not allowed to come here for official purposes, this is diplomatic etiquette, Li Gang is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he not know?

There were doubts in his heart, but his face was not revealed, just when Li Gang said: "Bachelor Han is out, I think it's tiring, please enter the museum to rest." ”

"Oh, no hurry

It's rare to come to Tokyo, if you don't travel all over the famous places, won't you return empty-handed? When I was in Yanjing, I heard that the scenery of Tokyo is the first in the iron tower. That's why you want to see it. Fu Fang said.

Li Gang thought secretly, Mu stationed in the network is not far from the capital, and Xu Wei thinks that it will be there soon. There is no need for me to startle the snake, and I will stabilize him first. So he proposed to double it, Han Fang became more and more suspicious, you are wearing an official robe and swaggering through the market like this? But it was not easy to refuse, so a few of them went to the iron tower in the northeast corner of the capital. Along the way, the two of them had their own hearts and minds, and they didn't speak, and the atmosphere was very weird. After walking about four or five streets, Fu Fang saw a tea shop on the side of the street. And he said that he was thirsty. Why don't you go in and buy a bowl of tea to eat. After sitting down, he said that he was hungry and ordered one of his attendants to buy some melons, fruits and pastries.

Li Gang did not doubt him, and sat down with Han Fang in the tea shop, and the tea guests around him saw that Li Shaozai, the deputy minister of the imperial court, actually appeared in such a place. Excited inexplicably, Xianggong is aware of the situation, and the people are here! So they came forward to see each other! Some people denounced Li Bangyan, Geng Nanzhong and others in person for curtsying for peace, and the imperial court should push them to the end, and it is best to exile Guangnan to eat lychees!

Li Gang secretly complained. While appeasing the people, he happily waited for Xu Wei.

said that Han Fang followed the Hu and went out of the tea shop, and at first he was still picking up a while at the melon and fruit stall outside. Seeing the crowd inside, after surrounding Li Gang in the middle, he immediately headed east. The pace was extremely fast, and then it became a gallop. The city gate is imminent. Run with all your might. Suddenly, I felt that something was blocked under my feet, and my body leaned forward and lost my center of gravity! Pounced on the ground and fell a dog eating! Before he could react, he heard a voice shouting, "Oh, I'm sorry, hurry up." Immediately, he felt a few pairs of enjoyment pressed on his shoulders, and his body did not obey the call and rose into the air. When he was about to struggle, he was forcibly pushed into a place, and when he settled down to take a look, he appeared in the carriage. Four men in the prime of life with no expression on their faces were staring at him with razor-sharp eyes.

"Blue sky and white sun," the man wanted to pretend, but suddenly a white light flashed in front of him, and a cold object pressed against his throat. Shengsheng swallowed back the following words. The carriage went forward, but it did not know where it was going.

Besides, Li Gang and Han Fang sat in the tea shop for a while, and then went to the iron tower with tea money. Fang went out, and Li Gang suddenly realized! Lost his voice and said, "Your retinue,"

Han Fang's face did not change, he looked directly at the other party and said, "The prime minister is here, and he must be for me." ”

Secretly surprised, Li Gang did not admit it. didn't deny it, when I caught a glimpse of a person striding forward, my heart was like eating a reassuring pill. Breathing a sigh of relief, he sneered: "You did a great job!" ”

"Why did the young prime minister say this?" Fu Fang's face. The usual calm and elegant color disappeared, and his gaze had become cold.

"Gold thief, deceive people too much! I simply treat my big song as nothing! You sent an envoy to my court, intending to paralyze my monarch and ministers. Your retinue moves around. Spying on our military intelligence and defense. Do you really think I don't know? Li Gangyi was stern and his voice was violent.

Han Fang's body couldn't help but tremble, could it be that "I suddenly saw a person come to Li Gang's side, about twenty or so, and his body was raised." The contours are distinct, the facial features are handsome, the eyebrows are heroic, and the eyes are blazing, which seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts. After whispering a few words to Li Gang, Li Gang's face was happy and he frequently churned.

"Who is this?" Han Fang asked subconsciously.

Li Gang sneered: "He is Xu Wei who blocked your second prince in the north of the Yellow River for five days and five nights!" ”

When Han Fang heard this, he looked at Xu Wei for a long time, nodded and said, "If you are a young talent, you will really be planted." After a slight pause, he chuckled, "The building will fall, and it will be difficult to support it alone." Although there were loyal people in the Southern Dynasties. There are also fierce generals who are not afraid of death. Na no".

Li Gang's color changed and he shouted: "Shut up!" Small.

A two-horse carriage approached slowly. Xu Wei asked, "Go up yourself, or will I help you?" ”

Han Fang was silent, and the entourage behind him with a fierce expression heard this, and suddenly leaned forward and blocked in front of him. Almost at the same time, seven or eight people came out of the stem, and surrounded them not far or close. Han Fang looked around. only to know that the other party had already prepared. The carriage stopped beside him, Li Gang looked grim, and said in a deep voice: "Please." ”

Looking at the carriage driving out of the city, Li Gang just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly clapped his hands again, and exclaimed: "Not good! And the pavilion,"

"Don't worry about Prime Minister Li, the humble post has already sent someone." Xu Wei said with a smile.

When Li Gang heard this, he was overjoyed, Xu Wei is so young, but he is so reliable1 This time, he said that he would play in front of the officials. Gotta get him up!

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, according to the regulations, civil and military officials have a "day off". It just so happened that the Jingsui camp rested for half a day today, and after Xu Wei arranged the affairs of the camp, he went to Li Guan's place to check on Han Fang and the others who were imprisoned, and then rushed back to the city. I wanted to be reunited with my family. But after arriving home, I learned that Mrs. Xu had already led the whole family to go to the top and look far away in accordance with the Chongyang custom. After staying at home for a while, he was bored, so he took off his official robe and changed into civilian clothes, took off all the gold ribbon fish bags, and cranked a Xichuan origami fan, and also learned the style of the literati. He didn't bring his entourage, and went out alone.

Although he often goes in and out of Tokyo City, he has never been a good student because he is busy with military training. Xu Wei went out from the West Water Gate to Yujie. Head east again. Today's capital has completely restored tranquility. There was no trace of sorrow on the faces of the people. Shops, restaurants, and tea shops are all overcrowded. Xu Wei walked leisurely, and walked around the shops for a while, although he didn't buy anything. Then I went to the restaurant to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet a few familiar officials. It's just that everyone is on vacation, so it's not easy to disturb, so I said goodbye and left. Later, I sat down in the tea shop, asked Dr. Tea to pour a tea and clear tea, and listened to the storyteller talk about some Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes, strange things in the countryside, and time was fast.

It is estimated that the time is almost the same, and it is time to go back to see if the old man has returned home for tea, and he shook the paper fan along the street to paint back to the house, "The store is quite large, the goods on the shelves are dazzling, the business seems to be good, and more than a dozen guests gather in twos and threes." Xu Wei suddenly appeared, and when the customers in the store saw him come in, they all looked twice, and the girls even covered their mouths and snickered and whispered. Take a closer look, why are all the guests women's families?

Close to the counter, it turned out to be a shop specializing in gold and silver jewelry, rouge and gouache. Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly heard a person behind him shouting: "Hey, the little official stayed and looked back, and saw a man with a big belly, actually wearing a silk straight dress, wearing a gauze hat on his head, and deliberately using gold thread to trim it. There is not a trace of wrinkles on his face, and he lives like a slow head. With two short beards on his mouth, who believes this image if he is not a businessman?

"Why?" Xu Wei asked.

"Why do you just walk away? I don't have good things in this store?. The shopkeeper leaned over with a smile, he had to grow up in his life, he had to bend his waist, and he looked like he was half a head shorter than Xu Wei.

People greeted people with smiles, and Xu Wei was also very polite: "That's not it, it's just that I'm in the wrong place, here are the ladies."

"Hey, who said that only the ladies can come here? Isn't the villain's seven-foot body still doing this business? Come and come, petty officials, please move to your feet, my place is a time-honored brand in Tokyo. From the seventy or eighty-year-old lady to the seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady, they all use the things of the shop! Although the shopkeeper spoke very quickly, he spoke clearly and without any ambiguity.

Xu Wei smiled dumbly: "Seven or eight-year-old people, what are you doing with this thing?" ”

"Hey, this little official doesn't understand, right? The old man in his seventies and eighties used my things, and said that he was blowing it when he was rejuvenated. But it's always okay to be a teenager younger, right? How about picking two pieces for the lady in the house? When I went back, I hid it first, took it out, waited for dinner, washed up, and put it on the dressing table, pretending to be nothing. Guess what happens when the lady sees it? "These businessmen are a little clever, and they can blow up the dead into life, but like this shopkeeper, they don't just have to do business. It is rare to help you design the bridge.

But even if he could fool again, Xu Wei didn't get in, and said with a smile: "It's not up for the time being, say goodbye." ”

The shopkeeper listened. A pair of small eyes were dripping and rolling on him, and he took two quick steps forward to stop him. smiled mysteriously: "I don't think Xianggong is a mortal." ”

This man is noisy. It's not annoying, Xu Wei put the folding fan away and asked, "What do you say?" Small.

"Although the petty official is dressed in civilian clothes, it is difficult to hide this outstanding demeanor, and the eyes of the villain have read countless people! I haven't looked at Xiaoxiao, and the official must be the fat shopkeeper, and the smile on his face is more ambiguous, "Let's go, today I met a small store of distinguished guests!" Such. But all the objects that the petty officials fancie, the villains will be 20% off! Even if you lose money, you have to make this friend! ”

Xu Wei listened and thought darkly, does he know me? When people talk about this, it seems that if they don't buy a few pieces, they seem to be petty. I was thinking about going over and picking at random, but I suddenly stopped, looked at the shopkeeper with a courteous face and smiled: "Wait, shopkeeper, tell me, who am I?"

"The little official is dressed like this, I don't want to attract attention, how can the villain be so ignorant?" The shopkeeper smiled like a flowering steamed bun.

Xu Wei nodded. As soon as the foot net was raised, he smiled and asked, "It's okay." You just say, who am I after all? ”

The fat shopkeeper laughed a few times, and was speechless for a while, just now he was still talking like a river, and he was talking endlessly, but at this time he couldn't speak. In the past, this trick was tried, as long as you met someone with extraordinary bearing and bright clothes. And he took this hand and gave it to him. In the end, the other party will always be unable to hold up the face and enthusiasm, and give generously. I don't want to meet such a difficult Lord today. Seeing this, Xu Wei laughed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, pick a few."

The shopkeeper was stunned. Hurry up and lead. Xu Wei finally bought jade girl peach blossom pollen, thrush ink, rouge and other things. It's good to go back and give it to the third sister of the prostitute. After the shopkeeper personally packed it for him, he handed it over with a smile: "Thank you, consistent money." ”

Xu Wei paid the bill. He also saw that there were a lot of gold, silver and jade objects on the cabinet next to him, and he looked at one of the bracelets a few more times. Isn't the bracelet just a circle? However, this bracelet has a gap of about two fingers, and the whole body is turquoise, and the shape is unique, like a crescent moon.

When the shopkeeper saw him staring at the bracelet, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Wrap it up for the little official too?"

"You stuff me with a bunch of rouge gouache, I don't know who to give it to, and you buy a bracelet?" Xu Wei said with a smile.

"What's so tight? I have a favorite woman, buy it and give it to her, which is both decent and usable, isn't it two poms? "This businessman, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, will not give up.

Xu Wei heard this. I didn't respond for a while, but thoughtfully.

After the battle. Nodding his head, "Okay, what's the price?" ”

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry to bargain, but introduced: "The little official has good eyesight, and he looks at this superb jade at a glance!" You see, there's not a trace of impurities! It's cut out of the middle of the stone! ”

Xu Wei naturally knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't gasp, tell the truth." ”

"Oh, don't hide it from the little official, this bracelet was originally ordered by someone, but I didn't come to pick it up for a while. But. I fell in love with a petty official. Fifty runs. I'll wrap you up as if you're in a terrible pain.

Xu Wei listened. nodded, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, and was about to take out the bracelet and put it up, but unexpectedly Xu Wei stretched out a finger: "One price, ten times!" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned. said with a wry smile: Little official, you are, a little bit of that,"

"Don't sell and pull down Xu Wei said that he would go out for a small sample, the bargaining routine of Chinese businessmen is really unchanged for thousands of years.

Sure enough, before he walked to the door, the voice of the fat shopkeeper sounded behind him: "Okay, good, good" The official stayed, and he sold it. small

"Nine runs!" Xu Wei stopped, turned around and said. On his face, he actually had a smile of drama.

"This" shopkeeper is really depressed, what is the value of the previous makeup powder rouge? He didn't bargain, he thought it was a mallet, so it seems that this is a monkey spirit!

"It's a total of ten dollars. Whole numbers, how easy to calculate. Xu Wei smiled.

The shopkeeper no longer had the enthusiasm he had before, packed the bracelet and handed it to Xu Wei, settled the settlement, and after he left, he took the money in his hand. When he was drying his mouth, he heard the Hun family next to him say: "The master, do you know who he is?" small

"I don't care who he is, I only recognize this thing in my hand." The shopkeeper smiled and put the money into the cabinet. This kind of rich kid, the money is stupid, although this one is more shrewd today, but in the end he still bought it, but he made less money.

"Look at your virtue, he is Xu Wei."

The shopkeeper was stunned. What, he is Xu Wei? The one who blocked the Jin army in Hebei for five days and nights? Hey, I knew it was him. What a 20% discount! At least 75% off! (To be continued)
