Eastern capital, Shangshu Province, left-behind mansion.

The original hall of Shang Shuling, has been with the court should be a heavy minister, followed Yang Guang to conquer Liaodong, and vacant, now here, is the eastern capital left behind Fan Zigai's office, this is over sixty years old, but tall, eagle nose lion mouth, jujube red skin of the old man, the corners of the mouth slightly upturned, not angry and self-authority, a burst of sound of intimate contact between the wooden stick and the skin and flesh under the hall came for a while, shocked in the hall dozens of Tsing Yi civil officials sweating cheeks, even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Two tiger-backed officials ran up to the hall and arched their hands: "If you return to the hall, Chen Wenluo's forty sticks have been beaten, and now he has passed out, please ask the hall to decide." ”

The corners of Fan Zigai's mouth hooked, and he said expressionlessly: "Is Chen Wenluo's family here?" ”

The official replied: "I have already arrived, and I am waiting outside the gate of the mansion." ”

Fan Zigai nodded: "Very good, Chen Wenluo is a copywriter, but he slacked off his duties, hangover and didn't wake up, and delayed his office for up to two hours, the official punished him, completely according to the law, not a personal grudge, let Chen Wenluo's family take him back, grant him half a month's leave, and fine him for three months, after half a month, if he dares to neglect his duties again, he will be punished more severely!" ”

The official arched his hand and hurriedly retreated, Fan Zigai's tiger eyes flashed coldly, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we are all officials of the imperial court, both eat the king, be loyal to the king, and worry about the country, think about the supreme body in the ninety-five, still personally led the army, expedition to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, according to the body, hungry, every time you think of this, don't you feel sad and moved?" The Supreme is going to risk it alone in order to protect our country and people. What reason do my generation have to slack off in the rear? "That's it. Fan Zigai's eyes glistened with tears. Even his voice became choked.

The surrounding scribes put down the work at hand one after another, knelt on the ground one by one, kowtowed, and cried loudly.

A rush of footsteps sounded at the gate in the distance, accompanied by the sound of a soldier's characteristic leather boots stomping on the ground, coming from afar, stopping dozens of paces away, accompanied by a fierce quarrel: "Who is so bold." How dare you go straight to the lobby of the Left-behind Office? ”

And an anxious voice sounded, accompanied by a violent wheezing: "Can't you see the flag on my back?" The military situation ahead is like fire, this is an urgent report of 800 miles. ”

And another older voice said categorically: "Even if you report eight hundred miles urgently, you have to search your body first, otherwise if there is an assassin, disguised as a herald, and come to assassinate, it will be a dereliction of duty on the part of our guards, do you understand?" ”

Fan Zigai's heart moved, and he said loudly: "Who is making noise in the hall?" ”

The official who just reported to me. ran back again, and arched his hand at Fan Zigai: "Qiyu Tangzun." There was a herald who said that it was an urgent military situation of 800 miles, and he wanted to see the cousin, and the small one should be searched according to the routine, but he was unwilling, so he had a dispute until now. ”

Fan Zigai shook his head and said: "The military situation is like fire, you can't take it with common sense, this official has his own guards to protect him, even if he is an assassin, it will be difficult to hurt this official, bring him over to see me quickly." ”

The official looked embarrassed: "This, this is not in accordance with the law." ”

Fan Zigai's face sank: "The military situation ahead is urgent, and there is no room for delay, you can take him to the court, even if he is really an assassin, it has nothing to do with you." ”

The official gritted his teeth and turned to leave. Fan Zigai suddenly said, "Wait a minute, what's your name?" ”

The official turned around and arched his hand and said: "The little one's surname is Huang, his name is Junhan, and he is the head of the criminal department, and he happens to be on duty today." ”

Fan Zigai nodded: "Very good, Huang Cell Leader, the official remembers you, you are loyal to your duties and worthy of praise, when you bring that herald with you in a while, you will also stay in the hall, so you should be the guard of the official." ”

A trace of excitement flashed on Huang Junhan's face, and he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Obey." ”

Shaoqing, a sergeant with two red flags on his back, eight feet tall, shrewd and capable, brought to the front, looking about twenty-six or seventeen years old, his eyebrows and eyes were deep-set, although he was wearing the uniform of a small soldier, but he had the temperament of a general, and he showed the demeanor of a family with his hands and feet, even his head was held high, not the habitual half-low like ordinary small soldiers.

Fan Zigai's face changed slightly, these two red flags mean that the 800-mile urgent military report is the highest level of urgent report, he sat on the big case, and waited until the herald came to the hall, then asked in a deep voice: "Where did you come from, what is the urgent military situation?" ”

The herald pulled out a yellow silk from his bosom, his face covered with sweat, and the clumps of dirt were glued everywhere, and the word "dusty" could best describe him. While wiping the sweat from his face, he handed the silk silk into Huang Junhan's hand, Huang Junhan instinctively wanted to hand it up, but hesitated, glanced at the herald vigilantly, and stopped.

Fan Zigai's brows furrowed: "Huang Prison Head, what do you mean by this?" ”

The corners of Huang Junhan's mouth hooked: "The little one has been in prison for a long time, I heard that some thieves will poison these documents, since it is a military newspaper, there should be an outer cover, and then a fire paint seal is, but this silk silk has no outer seal, and it is so damp, for the sake of caution, the small one should be checked first." ”

Fan Zigai smiled slightly: "It's hard for you, you actually have such a meticulous mind, so you can check it first, and then read it in class." By the way, Huang Cell, are you literate? ”

Huang Junhan nodded and said, "The little one has studied for a few years when he was young, and his writing can be called coarse. As he spoke, he opened the silk silk, glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Hanoi County is urgent, Liyang stayed behind Yang Xuangan, and he had rebelled last night." ”

"Overnight, more than 10,000 Liyang strongmen, boatmen and migrant workers were recruited, and the guards of nearby states and counties were encouraged, and the troops were raised this morning, and the forward pointed directly at Hanoi County, and the secretary served Yu Shi Youyuan, who died unyieldingly, and his subordinates tried their best to escape, and returned to Hanoi County to govern Huaizhou, and closed the city to defend it. The lord of Hanoi, Bo Tang Yi, wept blood and worshipped! ”

Huang Junhan was reading, his hands were trembling, his face became pale, Fan Zigai's eyes were slowly restrained, and he was not so flustered, he muttered: "Yang Xuangan, did you really rebel?" ”

The herald seemed a little surprised, and said, "Could it be that Fan Liushou had already expected it?" ”

Fan Zigai sneered: "The old man has long felt that Yang Xuangan has a problem, so he secretly sent Tang Lord Bo to Hanoi County to guard it early in the morning. Herald, what's your name? Does Tang Zhubo have anything to say? ”

The herald arched his hand, and said: "The small surname is Li, the name is bright, and the Tang lord Bo must personally bring this sentence to Lord Fan who stayed in the eastern capital, saying that the scenery is so unique!" (To be continued.) )
