Yang Tao and Hu Yun are now very depressed, because the errand assigned by the emperor has not been done. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Several groups of subordinates have come back to report, and at the beginning, the two of them were still happy, thinking that there would be results so quickly, which showed that the subordinates were very efficient. But after more people came back to report, Yang Tao and Hu Yun couldn't laugh, because everyone came back to report with different answers.

Some came back and reported that they couldn't live if they were one year old, some said that they would live to be twenty or thirty years old, and some didn't know how to answer that they were directly locked up by their subordinates and taken back, and both of them had big heads.

At this time, another Jinyi guard stall came back with someone, Yang Tao and Hu Yun didn't have much hope for him, only to see the stall head report back: "My lord, the humble questioning is back."

"What's the catch?" Hu Yun asked.

"The lowly found a merchant with a string of beads around his neck, and the man said that a man who choked to death would live to be sixty years old."

"It's a chain, not a bead!" Yang Tao completely collapsed, and roared at the head of the brocade guard, "It's not how old you can live, it's how many years you live!" Can't you even understand what you're saying? ”

"If you are guilty of despicability, please punish me."

Hu Yun waved his hand at the stall head and said, "Forget it, you go down first." ”

"Obedience." Seeing that the two officials were displeased, the head of the stall didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly led people down.

Yang Tao clenched his fist with his right hand, hammered it hard against the wall, and said, "Brother, this errand has been done like this, what face do we have to go back to see the emperor." ”

Hu Yun was a little optimistic, and said: "Brother, don't worry too much, the emperor's will is to order us to find someone with a chain around his neck to interrogate, we did so, go back and report the results of the interrogation to the emperor, even if this errand is done, the emperor is benevolent, and he should not embarrass us." ”

"So far, that's all it can be." Yang Tao sighed and said, "It's not early, let's hurry into the palace." ”

"You guys, hurry up and release all the people who have been arrested, who let you arrest people at will." Hu Yun ordered his subordinates to release all the people who couldn't answer the questions, and at the same time followed Yang Tao to prepare to enter the palace.

……

Xiao Mu tore off the chronology of events that the two of them had sorted out and threw it aside, picked up the apple on the table, took a bite, and muttered silently in his mouth: "Eat your ......"

Lin Yi heard Xiao Mu's muttering, but he didn't pay attention to Xiao Mu.

The two of them sat with big eyes and stared at each other, and when they didn't have anything to say, Wang Chengen's voice was heard from a distance outside the house: "Long live the lord, Yang Tao and Hu Yun are back from asking." ”

Xiao Mu was very happy to hear it, after all, this was the only historical event that the two of them could determine the specific time and year, and it was also a method that they came up with, Xiao Mu naturally attached great importance to the result.

"Bring them in." Xiao Mu said outside the house.

Wang Chengen led Yang Tao and Hu Yun into the palace. The two of them hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor and the mother." ”

"Don't be polite, hurry up and tell me the results of your questioning." Xiao Mu said excitedly.

……

Wang Chengen took Yang Tao and Hu Yun out of the palace. On the way back outside the palace, Yang Tao and Hu Yun were very worried, because they saw that Xiao Mu's face was very unsightly.

"Brother doesn't have to worry about himself, although he didn't find the right person this time, but the emperor didn't punish us, and the queen mother seems to be in a good mood, and she will definitely speak for us." Hu Yun tried to comfort Yang Tao and said.

"I'll borrow your auspicious words, but I didn't do it well this time, and I don't know if there will be important errands for us to do in the future." Yang Tao looked at Hu Yun listlessly and walked dejectedly.

Yang Tao was deeply worried about his career, and was bowing his head sullenly, when Hu Yun patted him, quietly pointed to a passing official opposite and said: "Brother, look, that person is wearing a three-grade court uniform, and he should be a member of the court, but I look at Miansheng, do you know who it is?" ”

Yang Tao glanced lazily, "I don't know, it should be that we were just transferred to Beijing when we were in Daxing two days ago." ”

Suddenly, Hu Yun slapped Yang Tao again, "Brother, look at this adult's outfit, isn't it exactly the same as what the emperor said?" ”

Yang Tao looked up at this time, and sure enough! This old man in a three-grade court uniform was walking towards them, and the old man was wearing the kind of cross chain around his neck that the emperor said?

The two hurriedly stopped him, and Yang Tao asked, "This adult is invited, I don't know if the adult believes in the 'jealousy' religion?" ”

The old man replied, "Yes, it is Christianity, yes, this official was baptized many years ago, I wonder what the two of you think?" ”

Yang Tao and Hu Yun were overjoyed, and Hu Yun hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, do you know who the 'choking jealousy' is?" ”

"Of course, I know that this 'Jesus Christ' is the Son of God in the Church, and the Savior of the Bible. The two of them asked about it, but they were also interested in joining the church? If the two of them are also interested, the old man can introduce them to the church on his behalf. ”

"It's really hard to break the iron filings, and it takes no effort to get them." Yang Tao saw that the old man's answer was straightforward and clear, and he sighed in his heart, and then said: "My lord misunderstood, it is not that the two of us want to join the religion, but that the emperor is very interested in the Jesus Christ you said, and ordered me to wait to find out." The two of us searched for an afternoon and didn't find it, I don't want to meet adults here, it's really lucky, I wonder if adults are willing to meet us and others with us? ”

"Oh? Is this really the case? The emperor is also interested in this Western religion? The old man hurriedly asked.

"Yes, my lord will follow me into the palace to face the saint, so I naturally know." Hu Yun replied.

"It's okay, those two will take the official to face the saint." As he spoke, the old man followed the two of them away.

……

Yang Tao and Hu Yun felt that they could atone for their sins, and they were naturally very happy in their hearts, but they didn't notice that this street was close to the imperial city, and many officials walked here, and they all saw this scene, and all the officials talked about it.

"Isn't that the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu Guangqi? Why was he taken away by Jinyiwei? ”

"When the first emperor was there, Lord Xu was impeached by the eunuch party and had to resign and return to his hometown. Why was it that just two days later, Lord Xu was taken by Jinyiwei? ”

"There is really no heavenly reason, let so many eunuch remnants not arrest, but come to arrest Lord Xu, what is the reason?"

"During the day, the capital is full of factory guards, disturbing people's livelihood. In my opinion, it must be the remnants of the eunuch party waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, colluding with the factory guards, and grasping people well! Is such an evil act tolerable or intolerable? This official will go back to the fold and impeach these shameless people! ”

"What this lord said is very true, I will also go back to write a recital overnight, and go up to impeach the factory guard. Even if you don't hesitate to be convicted for this, you must let the emperor know the words of the sage of 'pro-virtuous ministers, far villains'. ”

"Yes, let's all go back to Shangshu." Everyone was impassioned, and they all said that they would rush to write a recital to crusade against the eunuchs, get rid of the traitors, and also make a bright future.

Soon, more and more officials knew about it, and the news gradually changed, and finally many officials heard that "the remnants of the eunuch party were blinded by the holy hearing, and Lord Xu Guangqi of the Ministry of Rites was imprisoned, and his life was worried." The officials who heard the news were naturally angry, and they wanted to save people and impeach the eunuchs.

……

Of course, Xiao Mu still didn't know about these things, and at this time he was sighing with Lin Yi.

"You need a haircut there in 2333, right?" Xiao Mu asked.

Lin Yi replied, "Of course. ”

"I'm in the same mood now as I was when I just finished my haircut, it's a very simple thing, why can't the barber always understand what he means?" Xiao Mu asked frantically.

Lin Yi said that he also felt the same way as Xiao Mu's words, "I was very nervous before every haircut, and I mustered up the courage to go." But we're in the Ming Dynasty now, so we shouldn't need a haircut......"

"When the Qing soldiers come in, they will need it again, and they also stipulate the hairstyle, and they can't do it if they don't shave." Xiao Mu said angrily.

"That's your man's business, it seems that the Qing soldiers didn't ask women to shave their heads too." Lin said.

Xiao Mu made up for the woman's hairstyle, which was also shaved into a money rat tail, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Don't dwell on haircuts." Lin Yi continued: "It's not very common for the same news to change after being relayed by many people. You first told Wang Chengen what he said, and then Wang Chengen told Yang Tao and Hu Yun, and after the two go back, they will definitely order their respective subordinates, and their subordinates may still have subordinates, layer by layer, if the meaning of this news does not change, it will be a strange thing. ”

"It's just such a simple thing, and in the end it became like this, this emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really difficult. In this way, what are we going to do with a character like Huang Taiji? ”

"After conveying it so many times, it's just that the 'chain' has become 'bead', and the gap is not very big, which shows that the quality of Jinyiwei is still very high." Lin Yi comforted Xiao Mu and said.

"The difference between the 'chain' and the 'bead' is not big, but they have lost the most important 'cross'!" Xiao Mu seemed to have the idea of preparing early and running away if things were not good......

"Your Majesty, Yang Tao and Hu Yun are back again, and they said that the errand you gave you has made a major discovery." Outside the door, Wang Chengen said, interrupting Xiao Mu's thoughts.

"Let them in." Xiao Mu commanded.

So Wang Chengen walked in with the two.

"See the emperor and the mother."

"Why did you two go and come back?" Xiao Mu asked.

"When I returned to the emperor, I found the man who believed in Christianity and specially brought him back to see the emperor." Yang Tao said.

"Oh? Who is it? "Xiao Mu

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid just asked, this person is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu Guangqi, Lord Xu, and Lord Xu is now waiting outside." Wang Chengen replied for Yang Tao.

"Well, I know, Yang Tao and Hu Yun, you two did a good job, I naturally have a reward, let's go down first. Wang Chengen, you quickly invite Master Xu in, and then take the two of them to receive the reward. Xiao Mu commanded.

Wang Chengen and Yang Tao and Hu Yun both went out, Xiao Mu glanced at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye said, "Famous scientist." ”

Xiao Mu also nodded, "I also remember this name, it seems that I have seen it in the history books, it seems that I am not mistaken." ”

Lin Yi continued: "Didn't you ask what to fight with Huang Taiji, and now the heavyweight helper is here." ”
