Chapter 291: Running Overnight (Fourth Watch)

Gao Xi smiled: "Then go to Hongfu Restaurant, I like the wine of that house." Oh, by the way, how did you get the news today? ”

Yang Su glanced at Steward Liu, who was standing on the side, and said: "Today I received a report, saying that the children are making trouble here, my kid has been wild and untamable since he was a child, and I have not been punished less, I am afraid that something bad will happen, so I rushed over, but I didn't expect Dugu Gong to come over too." ”

Gao Xi took Yang Su's hand, and walked out with a smile: "I also received a report, it was sent by this archery field to report, by the way, it is the wheat iron rod that followed you last time." Do you still have an impression? ”

The two walked out of the gate as they spoke, and Li Mi and a group of guards also followed closely, and the archery range quickly regained its calm this morning, Wang Huaqiang waited until the sound of horses' hooves outside had passed, and then came out of the shed, and he stroked his chest with his hand and let out a long breath.

Wang Huaqiang settled down, and his brain began to spin quickly, looking at this pose today, the Gao and Yang families are considered to have made a feud, Gao Xi suppressed Yang Su to death after he came, and on the surface, he slapped Gao Biaoren to Yang Xuan, but in Wang Huaqiang's view, it was just a show, Gao Xi was probably more because Yang Su left Shangshu Province during office hours and came to be held accountable, and there was also implicit blame between words.

And Yang Su's unhappiness is also obvious, Wang Huaqiang has dealt with Yang Su, and knows that Yang Dashuai is definitely not a personality who can swallow his anger like this and live under others, today his son was beaten, he was played, and he only rushed to this point, he will also start to fight with Gao Ximing in the future, not to mention the position of the left servant of Shangshu as the first assistant, Yang Su will have thoughts about this sooner or later. Today's thing. It's just that the time for Yang Su to make up his mind to compete for the prime minister has been advanced.

Wang Huaqiang saw Steward Liu running towards him from a distance. Wiping his sweat while running, and Mai Tiezhu and Zhang Jincheng didn't know when they returned to the archery range and came with him, Wang Huaqiang suddenly realized that today Steward Liu lied in front of Yang Su and Gao Xi and said that he was not there, and now it is not a good thing for too many people to see him, thinking of this, he retreated to the shed and sat on the Hu bed.

The three men ran into the shed. Steward Liu's fear was written on his face, beads of sweat kept oozing on his round face, and he said with palpitations: "Dongjia, I was really scared to death today, and I was almost arrested to see the official." ”

Wang Huaqiang sneered: "If you are really arrested in Daxing Mansion, will you betray me?" ”

Steward Liu's face changed, and he waved his hand busily and said, "Boss, how is this possible, I have already said here that you are not in Daxing, and they just escorted me to Daxing for interrogation." I still say this, today Yang Servant shot just because the prince was beaten like this. If you want to find someone to vent your anger, arrest me and take me to Daxing Mansion, no matter what I say, I can't escape a beating, if I grit my teeth, I can still get benefits from you, right. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded with satisfaction: "Steward Liu, you are a smart person, you have handled today's matter well, you can go and rest, go to the account room to get two hundred yuan, you don't have to be on duty these days, in case Daxing Mansion comes to you again, you still say this today, understand?" ”

Steward Liu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's good, it's good, I'll listen to the owner." ”

After Steward Liu went out of the house in a hurry, Wang Huaqiang looked at Mai Tiezhu and Zhang Jincheng, and his face sank: "What's going on today?" Why didn't you intercept Li Mi and Yang Xuangan? ”

Mai Tiezhu sighed: "Okay, we really have no way and no reason to stop them, neither of them entered the mansion today, they met directly outside the mansion, and by the time Lao Zhang came over to deliver the news, they were already about to leave the east gate." ”

Zhang Jincheng also followed and said: "Yes, yes, the owner, it is a shame that General Mai kept an eye on it, and personally went to Shangshu Province to invite Yue Guogong to come over, otherwise I don't know how this matter will end today." ”

Wang Huaqiang was slightly stunned: "Iron rod, you didn't receive my order to invite the Duke of Yue Guo first?" ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded: "Yes, Yang Shizi and Gao Jun Ma will be pinched as soon as they meet, and today will be no exception, so as soon as I heard Jin Cheng say that Gao Jun Ma occupied Yang Shizi's target position, I knew that something would definitely happen to Lu Dao, so I would call Yue Guogong first, and then I would take care of the problem." ”

Wang Huaqiang was a little moved, and stepped forward and patted Mai Tiecane on the shoulder: "Good brother, you really helped me a lot this time." If Yue Guogong came late, I really don't know how Lu Dao will end. ”

Mai Tiezhu smiled "hehe": "It's just a trivial matter, I know Yue Guogong, even if nothing happens, he won't embarrass me much." It's good not to go to court today, Yue Guogong is working in Shangshu Province, and the brother who guarded the door also went to Jiangnan that year, and he knew me, so he helped me report, and Yue Guogong really heard that something happened to the son, so he rushed over. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, and he asked, "Iron staff, how did you tell Yue Guogong?" ”

Mai Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "I said that I was in the archery range in the east of the city, and I saw that Shizi and Gao Junma were about to move in order to compete for a target position, so I hurried over to inform Yue Guogong." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "This statement is not bad, and there is room for it, even if the two of them are safe, Yue Guogong will not blame you for this." By the way, who informed the high servant of the shot? ”

Zhang Jincheng said with a smile: "After Brother Mai went to find the Duke of Yueguo, I stayed at the city gate, and sure enough, Ershunzi came to report the news, saying that the two had already fought, and the owner asked us to quickly find a way to inform Gao Yang and the two servants, I estimated that Brother Mai had gone to find the Duke of Yue, so I went directly to the Duke of Qi, and asked someone in the house to inform Gao Servant of this matter, this time it took a little more time, but fortunately, at noon, Gao Servant Shot had something to do and went home, and after hearing the news, he immediately changed his horse and rode, so that I led the way." ”

Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "You have all done a good job, it is estimated that there will be aftermath of this matter, you will work harder this time, inquire about the news in the city, and see how it will progress next." ”

Mai Tiezhu and Zhang Jincheng glanced at each other and said yes in unison.

Wang Huaqiang said to Zhang Jincheng: "Jincheng, you stay here to deal with it, I and the iron rod will go out of the side door, ride a horse to the Longyou area for a few days, and tell Ayu after you go back, Daxing's business in the past few days will be arranged by her, and I will come back in two months." By the way, tell Sister-in-law Mai that the iron rod will be going out with me for a few days this time. ”

Zhang Jincheng nodded, turned to leave, Wang Huaqiang glanced at the wheat iron staff, and said with a smile: "Let's go, iron staff, I remember that you don't seem to have been to Longyou yet, do you want to go and see?" ”

Mai Tiezhu smiled: "Of course there is no problem, in the past few years, I have followed you to the north and south, and I have gained a lot of knowledge, but I just left, how can you continue to make friends with Li Mi and the Yang family?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes became dim, and he sighed: "No one would have thought of it like this, I'm afraid that Li Mi and Yang Xuangan will not be able to make friends with me at this time, let's find a chance next time." I haven't been to Jincheng Lao Xue for ten years, and this time I just went around. ”

Ten days later, Longyou Jincheng, the scorching sun was scorching, and the wind and sand were all over the sky.

Jincheng, was founded in the Western Han Dynasty, in the second year of Yuanjia (121 B.C.) between the construction of the city, the Han general Huo Quai's expedition to the west of the Xiongnu set up a Lingju Sai in this area, as the advance base for recovering the four counties of Hexi.

In the first year of the Han Zhao Emperor period (86 B.C.), the city was built here, and it is said that the gold was dug out when the city was built, so it was named Jincheng, and there is another saying that this name means that the city is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After the Xiongnu were attacked by the Western Han Dynasty many times, they fled far away from the desert, and the Han soldiers and civilians in the Jincheng area were no longer facing the Xiongnu cavalry, but the ancient Qiang people.

Qiang, in a narrow sense, is the name of the ethnic group in the western part of ancient China, and in a broad sense, it is a general name for the nomadic people in the western part of China. Since the Shang Dynasty, this ancient ethnic minority has been seen in the annals of history, they are a bit similar to the Xiongnu people in the northern grasslands, the language of each tribe is different, the customs are different, the only thing in common is the way of life of living by water and grass.
