Lord Chang Xu was given a hereditary reward to the iron coupon, and the guests gathered in Xing'an Bo Mansion, but when he sneaked to Tongzhou Wharf to pick up Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua who came from afar, the West Fourth Archway staged a good killing of chalkers

Compared with the slaughter of chasers staged here several times a year, today's case is also a sensation, comparable to the previous Hongzhi Emperor Ling Chi's execution of Liu Shan, the chalk servant of the Qianqing Palace, the execution of Liu Wentai and Zhang Yu and other people in the Tai Hospital after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, and then the killing of Zheng Wang and other traitors who pretended to be the emperor's relatives. Therefore, since the news came out a few days ago, the elegant seats of the restaurants in the four restaurants in the West Fourth Archway have been snatched up.

However, when the former Jiangyang thief, who was as stiff as a little old man and had no energy at all from beginning to end, was escorted out of the chalk car, the onlookers were clamoring for a while, and no one could easily believe that this was the poor and vicious assassin. However, soon some sharp-eyed people standing in the front row found that this Jiang Shanfei was not standing in the cage like the rest of the death row prisoners, but was sitting there with a depressed face and weak hands and feet, so they had to shout.

"This old guy looks like someone has broken his hands and tendons!"

These words spread out among the chalk in an instant, and for a moment everyone suddenly realized. To be able to escape from a heavily guarded place like the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and now that the official palace does not make some preparations, if this person escapes from the execution ground, it will be a real joke. And through the cage, seeing the naked chalk scars on the man's body, someone who cares has already seen that he doesn't know how many harsh chalk tortures and chalks he has suffered, and on the second floor of a restaurant near Guangji Temple, someone sighed.

"I thought that on the green forest road in southern Jinan, this Jiangshan Fei was also a famous lone thief, but I didn't expect it to end up like this now!"

"What ends, whether he is dead or alive, he brought it upon himself, don't say that you don't know how many ringing horses he helped Min's old ghost take, and how much business he robbed our old-timers, and now he deserves to die. This old guy also has a brain, with the person he helped Min get, how much reward is it worth to send it to the official mansion, but if he hangs up with his identity to the criminal department, then he won't be able to get any of them! ”

The two people sitting opposite each other are big men with tigers on their backs, and their eyes alone exude a fierce aura that often fights outside. The big man who sneered just now spit out a kernel in his mouth, and then looked out at Jiang Shanfei, who was escorted off the chalk and kneeled on the torture platform, and immediately said angrily: "But it's such a guy, he actually went all the way to the black chalk and went crazy to assassinate that master, it's really bold." Fortunately, he doesn't have a family, otherwise he doesn't know how much it will be affected! Tsk, but he exchanged his life for a full sixteen general flags, two hundred households, and all of them were serious military positions in the avant-garde of the government army. ”

The man who sat down and drank chalk tea didn't even raise his eyelids, but just smiled and said, "What, Lao Qi, are you envious?" ”

"There is always a point of envy, at that time, it was not the sixth brother you said, it is better to be a slave than to be your own master after all." Having said that, when he thought that every time he caught a horse thief and went to the official mansion to receive a reward, the official in the yazhong certainly greeted him with two sentences, but those officials who were in charge had their eyes on the top of their heads, and their own brothers had to kneel down to speak, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest, seeing that the hour was almost up, the prison officer threw out a sign majestically, and he climbed the railing and looked around, "I don't know if that uncle will come to see the excitement!" ”

"Didn't anyone say that he just got the hereditary iron coupon today? It's too late to deal with the guests at home, where is the time to come here to watch such a chalk-killing scene? ”…,

Liu Liuzhong put aside the teacup, and finally stood up and walked to the window, looking condescendingly at the ghost head knife raised not far away. When the big knife suddenly fell, and a puddle of chalky blood spurted in the neck cavity, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said lightly: "I have seen Jiang Shanfei's kung fu before. At that time, I was still young, but he was in the prime of life, not only good at small kung fu that came and went high, but also had the strength to wield a heavy knife and charge into battle. This field, which has fallen back to the present, is just a fist that is invincible. Those of us who practice martial arts seem to be high in martial arts and are not afraid of anything, but in the eyes of the people of the official mansion, they are not worth it at all. “

"Sixth brother, are you deliberately working against me? Our grass people have the surname of chalk, and naturally it is impossible to compare with these big people. There is a good saying, learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family. Our ability is said to be a big family in our hometown, but compared to those landlords with vast acres of land, compared to those businessmen with thousands of dollars, what is it, if people kneel in front of the county master, you don't dare to stand up! Now that someone has set an example, we have to give it a try! ”

The last time Xing'an Bofu recruited family members, the brothers both went to apply, and Ma Qiao was full of praise for his ability to bow horses, but the paper made them very dissatisfied, and finally they both drifted away. Now that it has only been more than a month, the person who was similar to himself at the beginning has made up for his official status, and Liu Qi has tried his best to take Liu Liu to go to Beijing Chalk City to take a look.

Everyone was killed, and the onlookers gradually dispersed, and even the restaurant that had just been noisy gradually quieted down. Liu Liu called a man to add a plate of pig's head meat, sat down again and silently picked up a few chopsticks, he suddenly looked up and said, "Okay, after eating this meal, let's go to Xing'anbo Mansion first!" ”

"Okay!" Liu Qi suddenly laughed, sat down in front of his brother, he diligently filled Liu Liu, and poured it for himself, then said with a smile, "It is dangerous to fight on this battlefield, so I have never used this idea before." But this Pingbei Bo is really young but has good means, and I haven't seen anyone suffer from the people who follow him. I just hate that it's too late for us to see it, otherwise we might have been called an official by a long time ago...... Now that the land is getting more and more lifeless, the horse thieves have caught too much, didn't they hit the iron plate this time? But if we don't catch it, we won't be able to farm, and we will really be forced out of Bazhou, what else can we do? Sooner or later, it's better to find a chalky mountain! ”

Liu Qi chattered endlessly, Liu Liu's heart was always a little irritable, so he got up again and went to the window. It didn't take long for him to see a group of people coming to the south of Xuanwumen Street, although they did not wait for the official guards of honor to be quietly avoided, but they were surrounded by personal guards in front and back, and at first glance they were dignitaries and dignitaries. He was still wondering who this was, and someone shouted from below.

"It's the car of Xing'anbo Mansion!"

I heard that Xing'anbo, Xu Liang and Pingbeibo's wife, Shen, are not at home, is this a ...... Seo Hoon went out?

Liu Liu hurriedly fixed his eyes to look, but although the carriage had never used the door, the bamboo curtains and gauze curtains were covered layer by layer, although he had excellent eyesight, he could only vaguely see a few people sitting inside. Sensing that Liu Qi was also coming over, he groaned slightly, took out a handful of copper coins and threw them on the table, shouted at the account, and then kicked downstairs. As soon as he left, Liu Qi couldn't help but glance down again before hurriedly chasing after him.

"When will I have such pomp and circumstance, it will be a glorious lintel!"

Xu Xun welcomed Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua to Jingcha City, and on the way, he first told Liu Jian Xie Qian to the chalk in Shinei. Knowing that Liu Jian Xie Qian was actually isolated from the inside and outside, and made such a momentum in the 12th regimental camp of the Beijing camp, Lin Han and Zhang Shihua couldn't help but be surprised, and when Xu Xun vaguely pointed out the anger of the little emperor, their original anger turned into a little helpless. Even if this method can be liquidated by the little emperor on a different day, can it be even more bloody? When Xu Xun said that Wang Shouren had written about his assassination and was expelled, and even almost suffered a court rod, they fully understood the degree of trust that Liu Jin was in the heart of the little emperor. …,

Zhang Fuhua, who was over eighty years old, couldn't help but sigh deeply: "I understand what you said before." After all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, different inside and outside, the emperor only sees the credit and hard work of Liu Jin for many years, even the person who is so close to you, once there are some clues about the assassination, the emperor does not believe that he has anything to do with Liu Jin, let alone others? In this case, what else can I do when I enter Beijing? ”

"As long as you don't touch Liu Jin, you can do the rest." Xu Xun saw that because of the hot weather, fine beads of sweat had oozed from Zhang Fuhua's forehead, so he handed over a soft towel and said, "As long as I don't touch him, he won't touch me easily." As I just said to the two of you, I'm already sitting up, and it's not so easy for him to move me. The second duke just did it in the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ministry of Officials, if there was no big difference between those Liu Jin's people, you should not have seen it; If there is a big difference, then it goes without saying that you can just start, and I will fight with Liu Jin in the ring when I go back. As long as Lin Gong can sit firmly in the ministry, and Zhang Gong can hold the throat of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, except for the emperor, no one in this court can cover the sky with one hand. ”

Seeing that Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua were obviously moved, Xu Xun threw out the last weight: "Now it is no longer Liu Jian, who is the first assistant of the cabinet, but Li Xiya, who has a wonderful ability to be a handful and mud." So at the moment, we have the advantage of the situation, and Lin Gong and Zhang Gong don't have to be too discouraged. ”

"I think how could the three elders of the cabinet leave a single Li Xiya, it turns out that even this has been calculated by you!" Zhang Fuhua and Li Dongyang are the same year of the eighth year of Tianshun, although they don't have much contact, but this is a factor that cannot be ignored at the critical moment. At this moment, he only felt that the depression in his heart had dissipated a lot along the way, and he was even in the mood to joke with Lin Han, "Hengda, let's ride his carriage to swagger through the city, and someone will give us a Xu Dang hat tomorrow!" ”

"A gentleman is not a party...... However, in order to resist those traitorous villains who form a party for personal gain, the old man is already a lot old, and he will admit it even if he forms a party! ”

When the big thing came to this for the time being, Xu Xun had to ask about the plans of the two of them after entering the chalk. Knowing that Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua were going to rent a house to live, and the family would wait for Nanjing to settle down and the heat would subside, he smiled and took them to see the two houses located in Dashi Yongfang Velvet Hutong, and led the two of them to turn around before and after. Seeing that the two houses are a total of three entrances, although they are not big, they are neat, and the furniture is old, but they are all smooth and not luxurious old goods, Lin Han and Zhang Shihua are satisfied with seven points, but they are still hesitant in their hearts. It was Xu Xun who asked Xu Xun to find it early, and the rental money was five taels a month, and after reading it in a circle, Lin Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Five taels? It's not easy to live in Beijing, Shizhen, do you think Gongshi and I have never been Beijing officials? Five taels, five taels are not enough to rent a two-entry yard! ”

"Of course not enough." Xu Xun didn't deny it, and said with a slight smile, "The old mansion of Li Ge in Yongfang looks spacious, but it was rewarded by the emperor after entering the cabinet, and he still lived in the small mansion that Old Man Li originally purchased. As for our old Jiao Ge, the foreign official has gained some benefits and is enough to live in Jingcha City. Wang Ge was always a well-known poor man, and he didn't mention his residence. I don't have a relationship with you two of these two houses, it's not mine, and it's not me who I managed to give it to you. This is the property of the inner treasury of the palace, and I specially asked the emperor to settle you. This is a direct reward, if you want to say that it is useless, it will mean to collect a few rental money, and if you want to come, don't be polite to the emperor! ”

Because of Zhang Mao's relationship, although the two often inevitably regard Xu Xun as a junior, they will never underestimate him because of his momentum in Jingcha City. Only dating is communication, all the way back to the road, taking advantage of others is a little difficult for Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua to accept. But as soon as Xu Xun said that it was the industry of the inner library, he joked again, and the old man who was almost ten times the age of Xu Xun couldn't help laughing. …,

"Since you even asked the emperor for his good intentions, Hengda and I are neighbors, so let's arrange it according to you."

"Okay, then let the servants bring the luggage in first. Although this house is big, the security in Yongfang has always been the best, and it doesn't matter if the house is empty when the door is closed at night. It's still early in the morning, how about sitting and having a drink in the Humble House? I don't say anything to pick up the two adults, but I just got the hereditary iron coupon today, although I don't want to make a big fuss, but I also plan to invite three or five confidants to get together, and some words are good to discuss with everyone. ”

Lin Han and Zhang Shihua had been driving all the way, and when they heard that they were going to refuse to drink, Xu Xun said that it was not to catch the wind, but to celebrate their own hereditary iron coupons, and both of them couldn't help but be surprised. When he learned that it was the Ministry of Officials who renegotiated Xu Xun's previous military exploits because of the emperor's will, he thought that it was unfair and chalky for Feng Bo to have no world coupons, and Huibei Gong had always been the first of his military exploits, so he gave the world coupons, although Lin Han felt that it was a little excessive, but he only glanced at Xu Xun obliquely.

"You came out in a hurry because the old man hadn't entered the chalk yet, right? If the old man is in the ministry, you don't think it's so easy! ”

"It is precisely because I know that Lord Lin has always been upright, so I solved this problem first, so as not to turn back and lose face." Xu Xun smiled and played a hand of Tai Chi, and then said lightly, "The two of you learned that this knighthood seems to be biased by the emperor, but in fact, it is because in addition to the military exploits that were reported to the world at the beginning, I also captured an important person in that battle, that is, the second son of the little prince, Urus Borot, who has just been crowned the deputy Khan Jinong. After I asked the emperor for this person, he had already sent people out with the fire sieve, and now the third son of the little prince has become Jinong, and he is attacking Yong Xie Bu and Ordos on the grounds that Yong Xie Bu attacked and killed the predecessor Jinong, but the fire sieve pushed Urus Borot out at this moment, so the Tartar side was temporarily in chaos, so this time the emperor and the world coupon. ”

Only Zhang Yong knew about this, Yang Yiqing knew about it, and Miao Kui and Chen Xiong of the reinforcements didn't know about it at that time, and even Zhu Houzhao was the last to learn. Now that this matter is said, Lin Han and Zhang Shihua were taken aback, and after boarding the car with Xu Xun, they asked a lot of questions, and finally Lin Han couldn't help but reach out and pat the handrail next to him.

"No wonder after the unsuccessful attack on Yansui this year, the Little Prince's Department has not had much offensive, it turns out that there is chaos in the nest! However, such a great achievement is hidden from other civil and military forces in the DPRK, and this knighthood also carries a reputation of luck, even for the sake of the overall situation, but you can do this at a young age, which is enough to prove that several of our officials in the southern capital have never mistaken you! ”

Xu Xun did not hesitate to throw out this extremely secret internal chalk, so as to clear the impact of Zhu Houzhao's sudden gift of world bonds on people, naturally for the immediate effect. Since Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua were convinced, he naturally became more humble next, and then only gossiped and didn't talk about business, and the carriage stopped.

"My lord, there are still some greeting guests on the door who have not dispersed, and they have all hugged me when they heard that the adults have returned."

Hearing this, Xu Xun groaned slightly, smiled apologetically at Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua, and then let the car curtain open outside. He waved his hand and ordered not to use the pedals, jumped out of the car quickly, and saw the smiling faces around him, he made a gesture to let the people behind him quickly put down the curtain again, and then he bowed his head slightly and said: "I Xu Xun has received your kindness, since the knights have already placed wine to celebrate, now the world coupon should be put on a few tables and then lively." It's just that the father and son are not at home, and the funeral of the late mother has not been completed, and now the celebration is unbearable. When his father and son return, his mother will be buried in the earth, and it will not be too late to receive your kindness. ”

Compared with Liu Jin, who received all the gifts and orders, but things may not be done, now that Xu Xun can say such things in public, everyone can't help but feel that there is a lot of hope. As a result, the various officials around them quickly dispersed after saying a word or two, but many people looked at Xu Xun's carriage curiously. After all, when Xu Xun got out of the carriage, he saw two old men in the carriage. …,

Outside the alley, Liu Qi, who was crowded to watch the lively people, pricked up his ears to listen, but he could only vaguely hear a few words drifting in the wind. When he saw that the officials had dispersed, he turned his head to look at his brother next to him. Liu Liu didn't say a word, turned around and squeezed out the chalk. Not long after, Liu Qi also squeezed out.

"Sixth brother, don't you regret it again?"

"What's the hurry, people don't even pay attention to these chalk officials who are serious about going to the chalk gate, let alone people like us.

There were clearly other people sitting in the carriage just now, so let's go and ask who the people in the same carriage are! ”

Xu Xun sent away the officials who had been refusing to disperse at the door at first, and did not board the carriage again at this time, but simply followed the carriage through the West Corner Gate. Seeing Jin Liu's sweaty face, he asked, "Who is in the house?" ”

"Mr. Tang and Cao Baihu are here, and Lord Zhang brought a letter, saying that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is busy with affairs and has to come later."

"Well, in that case, you sent someone to see Master Zhang, and said that his immediate boss was here, and asked him to come back and see him earlier. In addition, go to the Hanlin Academy to see if Shu Jishi is out of class, invite Xu Changgu, and if Zhan Yuan Ming Yan Weizhong is willing to come, please also invite them. Besides, I went to the North Prison to see Wang Gongzi and asked him to come forward to invite Xie Da Sicheng, saying that my family has a guest from Nandu, and I ask him to appreciate the light. ”

Think about these people such as Shenying Qian Ning Maqiao Xu Yanche Qi Jiliang, they don't dare to abolish the public for personal reasons during the day, but most of them will also prepare gifts to congratulate them at night, maybe there will be such a noble as Dingguo Gong, Gu Da used Zhang Yong, the two lieutenant officials, he pondered for a while, and then said again: "You find a few more appropriate people to go to the Dingguo Mansion Shouning Hou Mansion, which is often visited by several noble mansions to deliver posts, and then Lingji Hutong West Factory, the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Twelve Regiment Camp and the Imperial Army Avant-garde, and tell all parties that I will set up a small banquet at home tomorrow night to invite them to drink." ”

The implication is that it is not used today.

Jin Liu's heart was bright, and he hurriedly agreed and repeated it again, and then immediately turned around and ran to Cao Qian to write a post, and was glad to have such a kind but capable young officer to help, otherwise he would have to beg Liu An again, and on the other hand, he turned around fiercely and must hold his son Jin Yuan Bao and quickly gnaw down the thousand-word text, so as not to be blind like himself.

Xu Xun arranged these to rush to the second gate, and learned from Ah Baokou that Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua had been led to his outer study first, so he nodded with satisfaction, but then immediately thought of another question: "Who is serving in the study?" ”

Ah Bao's face changed suddenly: "Oops, there is only one gold ingot!" ”

At this moment, Xu Xun, who was angry and funny, didn't care about reprimanding Ah Bao, who suddenly became reckless, and hurriedly turned around and went straight to the outer study. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a clear endorsement sound from inside, and faintly heard that it was the three-character scripture, and he couldn't help but glance back at Ah Bao, who was immediately a little embarrassed.

"I also taught me these things because of Brother Tao Hong, and Yuan Bao stared at me to learn, so I had no choice but to teach him. He is very smart, he can almost remember it after listening to it once, and he can memorize it three times. ”

Xu Xun was surprised when he heard this, slowly walked to the door, coughed lightly, and then opened the bamboo curtain and entered. Seeing that the gold ingots were standing beside Zhang Fuhua in a proper manner, and he was looking at him with a worried face at this time, he smiled slightly and asked Zhang Fuhua Lin Han: "I said two adults, how can you have the kung fu to compare with my family's scholars?" ”

Lin Han smiled happily: "It was Gongshi who casually asked him if he could read on a whim, but he said that he could memorize the three-character scripture." Yes, yes, they all say that among the scholars, the five-foot boy who answers the door is also elegant in speaking, and your young scholar can memorize the three-character scripture to this extent, which shows that your master usually teaches chalk. It's just that this kid has a bad name, what does it have to be called a gold ingot? ”

Hearing the words in front of him, Xu Xun couldn't cry or laugh a little, secretly thinking that Ah Baojiao this little guy was really wrong, but when he heard the back half, his face couldn't help but be a little exciting. Seeing Jin Yuan Bao looking at him nervously, he coughed dryly and laughed: "This child is the heir of my old servant in Jinling, the family was poor earlier, and his biological father gave him such a name." If Lord Zhang likes it, he will give him a name, which is also his blessing. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Xu Xun's old servant of Jinling, Zhang Fuhua didn't care that this was just a little servant, and said thoughtfully: "King Yanzhao put his daughter on the stage to extend the world, so it is called the golden platform." Now that the court is employing people, you can't learn from the ancients to move it and promote the righteous way. Since he is your servant, he may take the name Hong. ”

When Xu Xun heard that taking a name could also say such a big truth, and it implied persuasion, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that he was worthy of being a great Confucian in the southern capital, and he had to be righteous, and immediately smiled at the ignorant gold ingot: "Remember, your nickname will be Jin Ingot in the future, and your big name will be called Jin Hong." Don't tell your dad yet, Master Zhang gave you a big name to make him happy! ”。 ）
