Chapter 143: Jiang Bin's Nomination
Out of Xie Mansion and walking on the road, Jiang Bin and the others still had the feeling that they were dreaming.
"Big brother, are you saying this is true? Don't be Gongzi Xie to coax us with this in order to let us kill people, right? The monkey still didn't completely relieve his doubts, and whispered his concerns to Jiang Bin.
"Monkey, you idiot, what kind of person is Gongzi Xie, you haven't figured it out yet? Even if it's a lie, it's impossible to use this kind of lie that can be exposed at once, not to mention that this matter is reasonable, and there are many clues before, but we don't dare to think about it. Jiang Bin scolded with a smile, completely unimpressed by the monkey's words.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Qian Ning and the other Jinyi guards suddenly appeared, at that time Jiang Bin was still puzzled by what the other party was doing, but now that he thinks about it carefully, Jiang Bin's heart is also bright, isn't that the emperor arrived at the Xuanfu, so Qian Ning took the Jinyi guard to the front station? The subsequent actions were even more reasonable, and the fire was found in the palace, so it was strange that Jinyiwei was not nervous.
Later, I heard that what happened at the fireworks festival was also very strange, Governor Zhang Nai, such an old-fashioned person, actually had a public opinion, I am afraid that he would find out about the emperor at that time, right? The more Jiang Bin thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and his heart suddenly brightened.
Governor Zhang began to be nervous, saying that he was not allowed to fight, but after Xie Hong's party arrived, he suddenly changed his attitude, this series of things was precisely because the emperor came, and the emperor still lived in Xie Mansion for some reason.
"Big brother, the emperor has come to the Xuanfu, why haven't we received any news at all?" The crow also had doubts in his heart, although what Jiang Bin said was also very reasonable, but the royal driver came to such a thing, and these local snakes didn't know anything about it, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Well, I don't understand this, but according to Brother Xie, it is possible that the emperor came out privately, otherwise how could he order you like that?" Jiang Bin scratched his head, and he couldn't figure out the reason.
There are very few people who know about Zhengde's sneaking to Xuanfu, except for the chief soldier Zhang Jun and the governor Zhang Nai and their cronies, only Xie Hong is here. This matter is a big deal, and if ordinary people know about it, it will not do any good, so the slightest rumor has not leaked out.
"If you want me to say, the strangest thing is not these, but how the emperor lived in Gongzi Xie's house." The monk touched his bald head and said, "Don't look at me stupid, but I know, what is the emperor?" That's the Ninety-Five, it's the Son of Heaven! The biggest person in the world, why did he live in Mr. Xie's house? Maybe Gongzi Xie is the illegitimate son of the old emperor, right? ”
The monk doesn't like to use his brain, but when he talks about these messy gossip, he is full of interest, "Otherwise, the emperor is going to recruit horses, and Gongzi Xie is famous enough, so he came to his son-in-law." ”
"Monk, you idiot!" Jiang Bin kicked the monk's buttocks and scolded with a smile: "Today's saint is only fifteen years old, where is the princess?" And the son-in-law, haha. You stupid monk is still good at working hard, turn around and the monkey will stare at the idea, and then as soon as the idea moves, the monk will take someone to do it and do a good job for Lao Tzu. ”
"Big brother, that's simple, you can rest assured." The monk was not annoyed when he was kicked, but he just laughed, first responded, and then muttered in a low voice: "The emperor doesn't, the old emperor may have, the emperor is here, and his brother-in-law may come......" Seeing that Jiang Bin was about to kick him again, he stopped talking.
"But, big brother, it's easy to get that idea, but it's not easy if you want to leave no trouble." The monkey still refused to give up, and persuaded: "Let's not say that it is possible for Gongzi Xie to cross the river and tear down the bridge, even if it is not, his hands are so spicy...... Let's take refuge in him, we can kill Shen today...... With his heart, he may also deal with us in the future. ”
"You're worrying too much, monkey." Seeing that he said solemnly, Jiang Bin stopped laughing, looked left and right, and said in a deep voice: "We are all brothers who are friends of life and death, and we are also open to say something." Xie Gongzi has only been in Xuanfu City for four months, and you have all seen what he has done, what do you think? ”
Everyone nodded, and in just a few months, the Xuanfu was turned upside down, so what was the difference?
"When he was defeated by his brother, but he repaid his grievances with virtue and helped us ask for military salaries, if he hadn't gone to find him afterwards, he wouldn't have asked for a return, right?" Jiang Bin asked again.
Everyone still nodded, if it weren't for this matter first, when they helped Xie Hong later, everyone would not be so enthusiastic. I didn't even go to the Lantern Festival to join in the fun, and I hid outside the palace on a cold day, not because I was grateful, who could be happy.
"Until now, even the emperor ......" Jiang Bin lowered his voice, "A certain said that Gongzi Xie has a great future, do you still have doubts?" A certain took you to join him, of course, to get promoted and make a fortune, but also to find a way out for his brothers. Now I understand that in this town, even if the brothers do not die under the Tartar sword, sooner or later they will be starved to death by those corrupt officials. ”
When Jiang Bin mentioned this, everyone was full of resentment, those civilian officials commanded indiscriminately, and did not take human life seriously, if they won, they would only be greedy for merit, and if they were defeated, the fault would be found from the generals; And regardless of the victory or defeat of the battle, the military salary must be deducted, who can not hate?
The monkey hurriedly said: "Big brother, you have always been the most righteous, how can I doubt you, it's just ......"
The corners of Jiang Bin's mouth twitched, revealing a murderous smile, the scars at the corners of his eyes looked even more hideous, and he said, "Do you think everything will be fine when you arrive in the capital?" There are more civil officials there, and the officials are also bigger, Brother Xie recruited us, for, hum, I'm afraid he also wants to fight with those people. ”
Jiang Bin sneered.
"Since we have taken refuge in him, and we have the same hatred and hatred, let's fight, anyway, even if we want to take refuge in the ministers of the DPRK and China, no one will take care of it. It's just that those scholars are so easy to deal with? If Brother Xie is not ruthless enough and is kind to everyone, then he really doesn't dare to take refuge, if he is not ruthless, what big thing can he achieve? ”
"Since the eldest brother said so, then I should obey it." The monkey thought about it, and it was the same reason. It's the same as going to the battlefield, but in the face of the murderous Tartars, but with a soft heart, isn't that looking for death?
Jiang Bin nodded and said: "This kind of thing is originally a gamble, if it happens, it will be okay for our brothers to follow Brother Xie to soar, if we lose, hehe, it will just be our bad luck." However, from a certain point of view, when he went to the capital, Brother Xie was still a big one. ”
"It's up to Big Brother." Everyone else felt that it made sense and responded in unison.
"So, do you know what you should do?" Seeing that the opinions were unified, Jiang Bin was also very satisfied.
"Got it."
"Then go ahead."
"Yes!"
…… Patrol the yamen.
"Little Father-in-law Liu, thank you so much this time, Father-in-law Liu is righteous, not only saved the official from the cage, but also protected the lower official like this, the lower official is really grateful." Shen Fei was in a good mood and complimented Xiao Liu's father-in-law repeatedly.
"Well said, well said."
"It's just that God doesn't bless good people, and Gonggong Liu is actually slightly ill, which really makes the lower officials feel empathy, and they can't wait to treat each other with him. It was inconvenient for the lower official to come to the door, and he also asked Xiao Liu's father-in-law to convey the heart of the lower official. ”
"Well said, well said."
Seeing that Eunuch Liu's attitude was a little ambiguous, Shen Fei was a little apprehensive in his heart, and said: "Father-in-law Liu, I heard that Grandpa Liu was slightly ill this time, and it seems that it is also related to the thief Xie?" ”
"Isn't it more than that? It's all the sins of thieves! Liu Xiaowen finally reacted, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Shen, who are you in the cage this time, you won't forget, right?" You won't forget who saved you and who promoted you, right? If you want to do it, we won't teach you, you can weigh it yourself. ”
"That's natural, the thief is just lucky this time, the lower official has now repaired a book, just to send it to the capital, and inform the colleagues of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of all the thieves' evil deeds, and when he returns to Beijing with His Majesty, it will be his death." Shen Fei said gloomily: "Even if he gets lucky, his father-in-law doesn't have to worry, the lower officials will definitely get rid of this official for his father-in-law." ”
Shen Fei remembered the shame of the Lantern Festival day, if it weren't for Xie Hong inciting the people, causing the governor Zhang Nai to scruple the emperor who was mixed in the crowd, how could he keep saying what the public opinion was and arrest himself? This matter will definitely be a laughing stock in Shilin in the future.
Fortunately, he still has the road to completely take refuge in Liu Jin, otherwise even if Zhang Nai does not convict him, after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be rated as insulting and then deposed.
"Okay, Lord Shen is really a person who can do things." Eunuch Xiao Liu clapped his hands and said, "Don't forget, the letter must make it clear that Long Live Lord went out of Beijing this time, he was confused by this thief, and he has nothing to do with others, understand?" ”
"Father-in-law, just rest assured."
"Well, you can do it with peace of mind, as long as it is done, my father-in-law and his old man will not treat you badly."
"Thank you, Father-in-law Liu, thank you, father-in-law." Shen Fei was overjoyed in his heart, he had long known that Gonggong Liu had his hands and eyes in the sky, and he was still a little suspicious when he was detained a few days ago, but he didn't want it to be true. can be improved several levels at once, and Gonggong Liu has a great influence on the Ministry of Officials! So, as long as he deals with that Xie Hong and obeys Gonggong Liu's wishes, is there any doubt about his future?
As for whether he can take Xie Hong down, Shen Fei is very confident, he has offended too many people, and Yan Guan and Zhongguan can deal with one person at the same time, can he still not die? In fact, there is no need for a lieutenant at all, as long as the Metropolitan Procuratorate exerts a little force, even if he doesn't die, he will have to shed his skin!
When His Majesty was forced to expel him from Beijing, hum, Shen Fei smiled in his heart, even if Gonggong Liu didn't say it, the old man's revenge would have to be avenged, and then the time would see how arrogant that little thief would be!
As soon as Eunuch Xiao Liu left, Shen Xun couldn't wait to pack up his things and go on the road, he couldn't stay in Xuanfu City, after the Lantern Festival, he had already become the laughing stock of the whole city, as for dealing with Xie Hong, he would leave it to his colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate first.
"Let them have enough material to impeach a close minister of His Majesty, and they should thank themselves." The carriage drove out of the south gate and traveled all the way south, Shen Fei kept laughing, and he was smiling very proudly.
Until...... Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves and smoke in front of them, and it was clear that a cavalry was coming towards them.
"Where did this cavalry come from?" The entourage was afraid of being hit, so he stopped the carriage, Shen Fei poked his head out of the carriage in confusion, and then scolded the entourage: "Don't you have eyes?" Go to someone, tell those Qiu Ba that the official is here, and let them get out of the way quickly. If they collide with the officer's car, the officer will definitely not let them go. ”
The entourage didn't dare to slack off, rode a horse, greeted him, and shouted arrogantly: "Lord Shen Zhizhou's car is here, why don't you stop the horse quickly and welcome Lord Shen?" ”
His voice was not small, but no one answered on the other side, and the entourage was also furious, so he stepped forward and continued to scold.
The opposite side came quickly, and he saw that the cavalry had already jumped out of the smoke and dust, and a big bald head was shiny and shiny, but his body was wrapped in fur, and this attendant was shocked when he saw this, and turned his head and ran.
"Tartar, it's the Tartar who is coming."
"How can there be a Tartar here? This is obviously the south of Xuanfu City. The last thought of his life flashed through Shen Fei's heart.
The cavalry, which had suddenly increased its speed, did not pursue the fleeing retinue, but did not stop and roared past.
After watching the smoke and dust go north along the official road, the bold entourage stepped forward to check, but saw that there were many arrows stuck in the carriage, and Shen Fei was the same.
"It's a bone arrow...... The old man was killed by the Tartars. "These retinues have been in the border town for a long time, and they know about the Tartars. There are few iron mines in the grasslands, and the Tartars will not be mined, so in peacetime hunting or something, during non-military operations, the Tartars often use bones to make arrowheads, and iron arrows are reserved for war.
"How can there be tartars here? Obviously, we are in the south of Xuanfu City, and we have been walking for most of the day. ”
"Then I don't know, let's just report it like this, anyway, it was the Tartars who did it, and the guilt on us is smaller......" Everyone looked at each other, they all nodded, everyone was recorded, they couldn't run, a five-grade civil official died, the court will definitely investigate it, it's better to clean it up, and then unify the caliber.
They didn't notice that the smoke and dust in the distance gradually disappeared at this time, and even if they saw it, they would only think that the Tartars had gone far, and they didn't expect it at all, but the cavalry listened to it and began to change their clothes.
"Monkey, you go back to the city to report to the eldest brother, and I will take the brothers around and go back." The monk grinned.
"I know, in this way, the name certificate will be in hand, and we won't be able to find it for a while, Mr. Xie's idea is really good."
"That's right, the eldest brother said that Gongzi Xie is a big dealer, let's follow him, it will definitely not be wrong."
"Dead monk, Gongzi Xie is not here, who are you patting your sycophants to, hurry up, I will wait for you in the city to drink tomorrow."
"Okay, brothers, let's go."
