Chapter 175: A Thousand Swords, a Thief's Heart Doesn't Die (I)

The original name of the West Fourth Archway is Xishikou Street, but because after the Yongle period moved the capital to Yanjing, the archway was built at several most prosperous intersections, and it has this name over time. This place is the traffic artery where people come and go, the surrounding mutton alley donkey meat alley is the same place is a famous market, and this place to the east is only a few hundred steps is the root of the imperial city, to the west to the section of Fuchengmen Street, there are often people selling horses here, the horse market is formed for a while, there is a pig market and a sheep market nearby, so the capital is known as the west and the east is rich, there are many dignitaries and nobles living nearby, but it is difficult to hide the atmosphere of the market.

On this day, the restaurant at the four corners of the West Fourth Archway is almost hard to find, and the streets along the street are also crowded with people who come to see the excitement after hearing the news. There are those who are older and point to the wooden pole that is higher than the four archways in the West Fourth Archway, and the outsiders who have always joined in the fun talk about the role of the pole, and more people are talking about this rare punishment situation. There are also people who carry their children and squeeze around in the crowd, occasionally they can hear the baby's cry, and there are children's shouts next to them, in short, it is boiling and the sky is boiling.

Before noon, there were only one or two thousand people crowded around here, and almost no one cared about the cold wind that was carrying their heads and faces, and they all stood on tiptoe to watch, and the soldiers of the Shuntian Mansion and the soldiers and horses of Xicheng who maintained order were tired and sweaty, but they were only able to maintain order. However, I don't know who shouted that the father-in-law was coming, and for a while, countless people either turned their heads or turned to look at Xi'anmen Street.

There are a lot of eunuchs who came this time. There are countless people who seek advancement from the palace in the Ming Dynasty, and until now, in addition to those top Da Jue, there are hundreds of lieutenant officials with titles in the palace, and there are more than 30,000 without grades. When I went to the Yanjiu Festival Da Jue to go to Baiyun Guan to fight Jiao, it was the real pomp and grandeur, and now I came to watch the execution, even if it was a high grade, I didn't dare to put on a show, most of them were supported by the disciples and grandchildren. Even so, it is still a moment of brocade clothes, python clothes everywhere.

Xu Yi, who was crowded in front of the crowd, asked his entourage to block the people who were crowding behind him, and at the same time stretched his neck to look around, trying his best to distinguish the big ones. However, he had only seen one of Li Rong's godsons, and almost all of the others were black-eyed, so how could he recognize them? It wasn't until the grim-faced eunuchs stood still, and the chief prisoner ordered someone to look at the hour, that he finally withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and his face was gloomy. At this moment, the crowd behind him was suddenly squeezed out of a way by a person, and when the person reached not far behind Xu Yi, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder.

"My Daguan Xu, I found you!"

Xu Yi turned his head in astonishment, and when he saw that it was the third master of the eagle, he suddenly changed color, and he couldn't wait to eat this guy alive. However, the other party didn't seem to care at all, and regardless of the noisy voices around him, he pointed to a restaurant on the side of Xinjiekou and said, "If you weren't brightly dressed, I just happened to look at you upstairs, maybe I would have missed it." Quick, the eldest son of the eldest princess is upstairs, and I will take you to meet you. ”

"You're not enough for me?" Xu Yi shook off the third master of the eagle and said angrily, "What did you say about Ma Gongzi last time, what was the result?" I threw that lot of silver down, but I cheapened others for no reason! ”

"Ahem, this time is different! Don't talk nonsense, it doesn't take much for you to go with me, besides, it's a thousand knives now, you can see the excitement upstairs, you can see it clearly, right? ”

Xu Yi glanced at the many lieutenants standing on the right side of the torture platform, and knew that he might not be able to gain much even if he was standing here, so after thinking about it, the third master of the eagle with the surname squeezed out of the crowd. Although it was early winter, he was still sweating profusely this time, and when he followed the people into the restaurant, he went up the stairs all the way to the third floor, and he gradually believed it a little.

Surrounded by five or six tall horses, big shoulders and round waists, all of them were in the same blue shirts, obviously dressed as a wealthy domestic slave. And when he knocked on the door and entered the elegant box, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old brocade-clothed young man standing on the railing with his back hand, and two small men who were still in the main corner standing with their hands down, and he was unconsciously careful.

"Eldest son, I brought the people."

Qi Jiliang glanced back, nodded slightly, and said, "It's none of your business, wait outside." ”

Although Xu Yi deeply hated the third master of the eagle for losing his money and losing his title, he also knew that this person had some ability in the official face and was able to open the way, so seeing Qi Jiliang so commanding, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. When the third master of the eagle withdrew from the door with a smile on his face, he hurriedly arched his hand, but before he could speak, Qi Jiliang rushed ahead in an old-fashioned manner.

"I've told me all about you, I'll just ask you, do you want to turn the tables?"

Although this is something he has dreamed of, Xu Yi can't figure out Qi Jiliang's path, after all, he didn't dare to tell the truth rashly, he just sighed and said: "The will has been made, the wood has been completed, where does Xiao Ke dare to hope for that possibility?" ”

"It's not promising, and the will can be changed, is it possible that there have been so many nobles in the past, and no one has been robbed of the knighthood after the knighthood? There are Ningyang Hou Chen Fu who are close, and there are even more farther ones! I'm just asking you, do you have the guts to fight it? ”

was reprimanded by a little old child, Xu Yi was so angry that he almost turned against him. However, when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and immediately said tentatively: "I naturally have the guts, but it's a pity that it took a lot of money to attack the lord before." Qi Gongzi, what do you mean ......"

"What's the use of spending only money, can you also spend money to buy the emperor's holy family?" Qi Jiliang interrupted Xu Yi's words, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you think Xu Liang's title came from?" Isn't it that Xu Xun flattered His Royal Highness the Prince, so the emperor looked at His Royal Highness the Prince's face, so he gave him the title of Lao Tzu? If you can't understand this point and then make money, even if you have a mountain of gold in your family, it will not be enough to lose! ”

"Ahh

Seeing Xu Yi's dumbfounded, Qi Jiliang was very satisfied with the effect of his words, so he said slowly: "As long as you have the courage, I have a good plan for you here." A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escaped the lecture of the Wenhua Hall and was reprimanded by the emperor, but in fact, he sneaked out of the palace. Do you know who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stole out of the palace with? It's your nephew Xu Xun! ”

Although Xu Yi said that he was going up and down the camp, he couldn't mix it up or down at a high level after all, so he didn't know that Xu Xun and the crown prince Zhu Hou knew each other, and the prince skipped school and went out with Xu Xun, and he didn't know that it was light to be stunned at this time, and it was true that he lost his soul. It was easy to digest such big news, he swallowed hard, and then said hesitantly: "Young Master Qi, if Xu Xun is really good friends with His Royal Highness the Prince, how can I ...... Even if I really bring him down, I don't know that he is called His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Qi Jiliang almost blurted out another sentence that was useless, and it was easy to stop. He turned his head to hide the contempt in his eyes, just looked at the sundial erected on the execution ground over there, and said angrily: "Are you a fool?" I didn't ask you to go to the book to talk about it, I just asked you to try to spread the word. I heard that Ma Shangshu also helped you talk at the beginning, but it didn't work out. He is the prince and the prince, and the most heartbreaking is that the prince is not easy to learn, so with this reason, won't he write a book and make suggestions? With him as the leader, if there are a few more imperial histories to follow suit, Xu Xun will fall off the horse, and he will be able to sit firmly on the throne of Lao Tzu? If you want to say that the person was recommended by the master of ceremonies and the master of ceremonies, Xiao Gonggong, and he can't get rid of the guilt when he makes a big fuss, it is not easy for you to have a relationship with Gonggong Li at that time? ”

Xu Yi listened, and his eyes gradually lit up. He never thought that this young man, who was a lot younger than himself, would be able to come up with such an ingenious idea, and he was so impressed for a moment that he hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "Thank you Gongzi Qi for teaching me, if this matter can be done, I will definitely thank you!" ”

"Thank you you don't have to, I don't want you to take care of it in the future, and I don't want you to give any money and thank you gifts, as long as you knock people down and give me a breath!"

Just a little adult-like layout design, but at this time, a gambling sentence revealed Qi Jiliang's thoughts. And when Xu Yi heard this, he knew that Xu Xun didn't know what offended this young master, and his heart suddenly became more determined, and after thanking him again and again, he didn't even care about Ling Chi, who stayed to watch this rare scene, and hurriedly retired after saluting. Not long after he left, the third master of the eagle knocked on the door and came in, standing behind Qi Jiliang with a smile.

"Congratulations to Son, you have subdued Xu Yi lightly and skillfully."

"A pus-filled bag is nothing!"

Qi Jiliang stood there without looking back, but his hand climbing the railing tightened suddenly. That day, he originally asked his mother Ren and the eldest princess to enter the palace to seek justice for him, but when his mother came back, she was disgraced, not only reprimanded him sharply, but almost didn't use the family law that had been sealed for many years, and confined him for three days. It was only later that he learned that Zheng Wang, who he had introduced as a guest, was actually just a swaggering impostor!

Although he was so angry, he hated even more the people of Beizhen Fusi who did not give him any face. However, if it weren't for the fact that the third master of the eagle who was introduced by his subordinates revealed the secret secret, and he carefully asked people to go through the palace to verify, how would he know that it was the current prince Zhu Houzhao who had been hiding his face that day, and the one who showed the waist card of Beizhen Fusi was not Jinyiwei, but Xu Xun. He couldn't go to avenge this arrow to the prince, so he had to get it back on Xu Xun!

And that girl who came out of nowhere, he can find people out sooner or later!

Standing for a long time, he was about to give something to the third master of the eagle behind him, when he heard a shout from his head: "The hour has come, execution!" ”

Seeing Qi Jiliang leaning on the railing overlooking the execution below, listening to the noise of the people below, although the third eagle master behind him was standing respectfully, he was not without pride in his heart. did serious things and took a lot of rewards, and followed that Jiao Shilang to do things, it was really a light and clever to get a lot of benefits, but I don't know, why did Jiao Shilang have to get along with the Xu family father and son?
