Shooting static targets has never been a skill, whether it is in the army or in the martial arts heirloom of the noble generals, they are accustomed to setting up galloping roads at home, practicing archery while practicing equestrianism, and seeing that people and horses are the same, and bows and horses cooperate. However, the space at home is limited, and now the left and right official chalk halls are selected from the twelve regiments and camps in accordance with Zhu Houzhao's will, and this gallop is naturally wider and longer than the gallop at home. Just by visual inspection, Liu Liu could already see that there was a target on both sides about every thirty steps, and there were a total of twenty targets on the left and right.

"Go left or right, as long as these two bags of twenty arrows are used up, it's over!"

Seeing Cao Qian handing over two quivers, Liu Liu hurriedly accepted them, and saw Xu Xun and Shenying Zhang Yong standing side by side not far away, as well as a middle-aged military general he didn't recognize, looking like he was in a high position, he took a deep breath, and then strode towards the mount that he was already familiar with. Just as he grabbed the reins and was about to mount his horse, he suddenly felt someone grab him on the shoulder.

"Sixth brother, let people take a good look at our skills! If we really want to compare the bow horses, not only will we not lose to these military masters, but we will also win them! What is this dead target, we can still shoot alive! ”

"Say less.

After all, they are all chalky people in the army, so what's the point of selling too much in front of people! ”

Liu Liu turned over and sat firmly on the horse, and seeing that Liu Qi was a little unconvinced, he smiled and said: "As long as none of these twenty arrows misses the target, the skills of our brothers are enough to make people amazing!" ”

Xu Xun on the sidelines naturally didn't hear Liu Qi's bold words, although Shenying joked that he liked to solicit people, but when he saw Liu Liu galloping out like a gust of wind, he had suddenly shot three arrows left and right, and his face immediately became solemn. It should be known that in the military competition, it is often the first to chalk the ten targets on the left, and then shoot the right target after turning back in this circle. Even the elites selected this time are not so strict in the examination of mounted archery, only more than 100 households, and 20 arrows are required to shoot at least 12 arrows. However, at this moment, as the sergeant who was guarding the target over there shouted one Chinese character after another, he could almost predict the final result.

"Lord Hui, twenty arrows are all hit!"

"Good archery!" Shenying really didn't expect that the two people Xu Xun casually brought would have such skills, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he smiled, "Even when I was young in the past, it was already fast to be able to hit seventeen or eighteen with twenty arrows, not to mention that he also opened the bow left and right, I thought that only Qian Ning, who you dug from Jinyiwei in the past, had such skills." Good, good! If you want to talk about eyesight, I'm really not as good as you! ”

"What kind of eyesight, it's just a fluke." Xu Xun smiled slightly and saw Cao Qian leading Liu Liu over, he waved his hand to signal that there was no need to kowtow, and then smiled, "Just now Jingyang Bozan is good for your archery skills." Now that you've finished ejaculating, let's see how your brother is doing. ”

Liu Liu's hands stood and said respectfully: "The younger brother of the adult is better than the small one, but he is chalky by nature, if he plays any tricks later, please forgive the adult."

Show?

Xu Xun was slightly stunned, and when he heard a burst of exclamation, he immediately looked up, and sure enough, he saw that Liu Qi, who was on the horse, did not take a straight line in the center of the galloping road, but advanced left and right in a broken line, and the bow was like a full moon between the riding and shooting, and it was almost unbelievable that he could open the bow so frequently and many times in a short period of time. He didn't have to listen to the sound of the count, he could hear the muffled sound of the bow and arrow hitting the target, and his face unconsciously showed an expression of appreciation.

No wonder these two brothers will be able to pull out such a chalk-making team in the future, and they will travel to many places, so tired that they will have to dispatch the border military to the chalk court to finally suppress the chalk! It is true that the Beijing camp and the 12th regiment battalion are rotten, but they are also the leading figures in the anti-army and do have two brushes. It's just that the two of them are not military households, why did they practice such martial arts? …,

had this question in his heart, and when Liu Qi walked over with a beaming face after finishing ejaculation, he asked straight to the point. Liu Qi didn't wait for Liu Liu to speak, so he said bluntly: "Hui Yu, the old chalk of the younger brothers sold the land in the early years, and although they saved two later, it is not easy to buy land near, there is no land to plant, and we have loved to dance knives and guns since we were children, so we simply work this, and it is faster to earn money than to dig food from the ground." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Liu knew that it was not good. Seeing Xu Xun frowning thoughtfully, while Ru Shenying and the others were silent, he wanted to explain a few sentences, but he didn't know how to explain, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I see...... All in all, I have seen the horse arching skills of your two brothers, and I don't need to look at the fighting, I can't catch those horse thieves, and it is impossible to talk about it. Go down first, and then come back and talk to me when you go home. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Liu Liu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and after Liu Qi also saluted, the two brothers retreated together. As the distance between those big men gradually drifted away, Liu Liucai hated the iron and shouted at his younger brother: "Don't you know that you don't know what kind of land you have to plant?" If people think that we are suing those rich families, what if it spreads out, if people don't want us, what will we do after we return to our hometown? ”

"What are you afraid of, that adult is not angry!" Liu Qi pursed his lips angrily, then licked his lips and said, "Those big families don't do good things in the first place, they bully men and women to buy fields, why do they get all the benefits, let's go around and kill chalk people, but this harvest is only a little bit...... Sixth brother, sometimes I really think that if I am really in a hurry, the old chalk will take a vote of people and kill all those dogs! ”

"Shut up!"

Although there was no one around, Liu Liu was still shocked into a cold sweat. Seeing Liu Qi's indifferent face, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "It took so much effort to get to this point, could it be that you still want to fall into the grass?" ”

"Brother, I'm not joking, ...... joking"

Because of the archery and horse skills of the brothers Liu Liu and Liu Qi, Xu Xun was originally in a good mood, but when he thought of what they said, and the fact that there are often state capitals in the world that are in danger due to banditry, as well as those royal histories of catching thieves all over the world, he is naturally a little absent-minded. After soaking in the barracks for more than an hour, after discussing with Shenying Chen Xiong and Zhang Yong, he listened to the meaning of the three of them, saying that it was best to separate the left and right official chalk halls from the twelve regimental camps, just like the twelve regiments and battalions stood alone from the Beijing camp back then, and after he hesitated, he promised to consider it first and then play to the emperor. Staying until the time was on, he instructed a few people to come to the house early in the evening and invited Chen Xiong by the way, and then set off for the city.

When he stopped waiting for others to check at Fuchengmen, he suddenly asked without looking back: "Xiao Cao, what do you think of the meaning of Jingyang Bo and others before?" ”

During the previous discussion, Xu Yanche, Qi Jiliang and others, who had been following Xu Xun's saddle before and after, all had a part in the obsession, and Cao Qian was also present, but on that occasion, they didn't have a part in opening their mouths. Faced with such a sudden question at this moment, he was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a long time, and then said cautiously: "My lord, with all due respect, there are pros and cons to this matter.

Xu Xun turned his head suddenly, and seeing Cao Qian's natural expression, he nodded and praised: "Yes, you can see the pros and cons, which shows that you have some eyesight." Alright, let's go home! ”

Although he often enters and exits Fucheng Gate, Xu Xun has never had the habit of chalky driving straight in, and every time he enters and exits, he stops at the city gate, and lets the city guards check the number of people one by one before passing. At first, those soldiers were not used to it, but over time, they all gave a thumbs up and praised this Pingbei Uncle for never making it difficult for people. At this moment, the hundred households took back the two horses they had lent, and after seeing the people leave, he walked back with a smile on his face. …,

"You're still distressed about borrowing your two horses, look at what this is?" Seeing that the general banner who was the owner of the horse was a little sneering, he raised his hand and threw two over, and then smiled at the other soldiers, "The others are the wine money rewarded by Pingbeibo, after today's duty, everyone will go to the mutton alley to drink!" ”

"Oh!"

Liu Liu and Liu Qi brothers got the promise, naturally they didn't have to hurry up on two legs like they had gone out of the city before, and they had just walked out of Fuchengmen Street not far away, and when they heard the cheers of those sergeants behind them, Liu Qi couldn't help but glance back, and then approached his brother and said, "Sixth brother, it seems that we are really on the right side." In the end, this Pingbei Bo came from the people, unlike those noble sons who are full of arrogance, don't say much about people, and are generous in their hands. ”

After a moment of silence, Liu Liu sighed lightly: "Don't be afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that people are too generous, we have to sell our lives!" ”

When he arrived at the west corner gate of his house, Xu Xun was about to tell Jin Liu, who came out, about to tell the Liu brothers about it, but Jin Liuyi grabbed the reins and said first: "Young master, Tu Shangshu of the Criminal Department is in the house, saying that he came by order." ”

"Ordered?"

Xu Xun was stunned for a moment. Tu Xun sent someone to secretly give gifts at night yesterday, and he was already strange enough, but now this person came in person and said what he was ordering, which made people even more confused. Seeing that Jin Liukou couldn't ask anything, he didn't bother to ask, and instructed the Liu family brothers to find a place to settle if they came, and then went straight to the outer study. When he got off the horse at the gate of the courtyard, he had just arrived at the door of the study, and before Po, who was standing at the door, could make a sound, he heard the sound of talking inside.

"It's actually Zhang Duxian's name, it's really rare."

Knowing that most of the time it was Tu Xun and Jin Yuan Bao talking, Xu Xun nodded at Ah Bao with a smile, Ah Bao immediately opened the door curtain, and said loudly: "Master Tu, my young master is back." ”

Xu Xun entered the door with a smile, saw Tu Xun standing up to greet him, and now the gold ingots that had been renamed Jin Hong stepped forward and saluted, he bowed his head and ordered the little guy to stand back, and arched his hand at Tu Xun and said, "What wind blew Lord Tu over?" ”

What wind? A fluctuating whirlwind, of course!

Tu Xun smiled bitterly and saluted Xu Xun, and after the guest and host were seated, he was thinking about how to speak, Xu Xun smiled and said: "It's very interesting to say, there are many officials in Beijing and the same surname as me, but with the same name as me, I know that Master Tu is a person, but unfortunately I have never intersected." I have heard that Master Tu has worked in the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Department, and he is proficient in criminal names, fair and upright, and even the border preparation is quite successful, and he really lives up to the name of all-rounder. ”

The Criminal Department stabbed such a big basket, Tu Xun was so disheartened that he almost wanted to pick on him. However, he has almost been engaged in criminal affairs since he joined the office, and it is easy to become the secretary of the criminal department, but he has never made any achievements and will be disgraced, and he always feels that he is holding a sigh of relief in his heart. The Xiushui Butcher family only gradually prospered after he became a jinshi, even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about his brother and his son Sun Qizi. Therefore, yesterday he thought about it, and still sent Xu Xun a congratulatory gift that was not very rich, but who knew that today's excerpt to ask for demotion was rejected not to mention, and the clerk of the celebrant also brought something that made him extremely humiliating.

"Gonggong Liu asked me to convey the emperor's words, this matter has to be decided by Ping Beibo, if he is willing to speak, the adult will stay in office is a word, if he refuses to speak, the adult just wants to be demoted to the official may not be able to work, and may implicate the children and grandchildren. All in all, you don't have to hand over a fold on the left and a fold on the right to the front of the emperor, with this kung fu, go to Xing'anbo Mansion to bear the guilt of chalk. ”…,

If it was according to his previous temper, he would not leave this trip no matter what, but the four words of implicating children and grandchildren were too big for him to bear. At this moment, seeing Xu Xun smiling on his face, he even said something with the same name, and then praised his old exploits, at first glance, it didn't look like he wanted to investigate the previous dereliction of duty of the Criminal Department, he wondered, and at the same time gave birth to a glimmer of hope, but he was also vigilant.

"Pingbeibo has won the award, it's all about the old yellow calendar, and I'm in the criminal department, so I should know the name of the criminal department." After a pause, Tu Xun simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "I came here today because the Criminal Department had taken a key criminal like Jiang Shanfei before, and I asked for a demote, but I sent three or four ways in a row, but there has been no news, and it was not until today that the master of ceremonies and supervisors brought the words, and the Tao is to untie the bell and the bell must be tied to the bell." So I came to ask Pingbeibo for the guilt today, I was confused, and I asked Pingbeibo to say a word in front of the emperor, and let me go. ”

Although Tu Xun was vague and did not say what the celebrant had brought, it can be seen that this old Shangshu, who was sixty miles away, got up and saluted solemnly, and Xu Xun knew what was going on even if he was a fool. He hurriedly stood up, helped Tu Xun with both hands, and sat down with a smile on his face, and then returned to the main seat to sit.

"Master Tu is so good at criminal names, looking at the Manchu Dynasty, you can hardly find a second one, if you leave, who will be in charge of the criminal department?"

Seeing Tu Xun's surprised expression, Xu Xun said more and more kindly: "Master Tu thinks it's a mistake, I was assassinated, and the prison of the Criminal Department is gone, and the prisoner of the Criminal Department is gone, and the prison of the Criminal Department is gone, and you are still a waiter, and the position of Shangshu has been vacant for a long time, you can't be busy alone, and it is also appropriate to make mistakes in your busyness." If you want to blame, you can only blame the person who dragged the country and flew for a long time and never executed, which caused the current incident. ”

That's right, if you want to blame, you have to blame Jiao Fang! The emperor wanted to kill so many people in one go, so he had to leave such a hot potato in the criminal department, and it turned out to cause such a catastrophe! Thinking that such a person descended from the sky to the criminal department, he didn't accept it, but he couldn't stand up to Jiao Fang's holy family, and several times things were done deep into the sacred heart, and it was easy to hope that people would be promoted to the ministry, and then he would enter the cabinet smoothly, but in a blink of an eye, he left such a trouble for himself!

Although some people have a habit of not speaking evilly, Tu Xun almost couldn't help but echo it. Swallowing the sentence that came to his lips, he couldn't help but speak: "When Ping Beibo said this, doesn't he mean to blame the chalk crime punishment department's negligence?" ”

"There are cases of negligence in the criminal department, but if the investigation continues without limits, it really doesn't make much sense. What's more, Tu Shangshu is a first-class capable person, if I leave just because I am so mere about a case, wouldn't I become the target of public criticism for no reason? Needless to say, this case was handled by Xichang, and I will say hello to Father-in-law Gu when I go back, it is all those prison chalkers who have taken their own initiative to deceive the chalk and conceal it, you are at most a charge of negligence, don't say anything about demotion! ”

This is the first time he has encountered such a reasonable noble and favored minister!

Tu Xun only felt that the big stone in his heart had settled safely, and at the same time as he was relieved, he had such a thought. I think that he was at the behest of Emperor Hongzhi to govern the case of the Marquis of Shouning and the surname of Baicha for land, for him to go to the chalk book to say that the descendants and the people fought for the size of the land, and lost the general situation, Zhang Heling said how many bad things about him behind his back, it is said that he also sued several times in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was still the queen at the time, but fortunately, the Hongzhi Emperor pressed no theory. At that time, it was still a struggle for property, and this time Xu Xun was assassinated and almost lost his life, but with such an attitude, how could people be so different? What's more, Zhang Heling is still a handful of years, but Xu Xun is less than twenty! …,

Tu Xun had a mixed look on his face, his eyes were full of emotion, and he stood up and took a deep look. Seeing this scene, Xu Xun hurriedly went to help the old man again. After sitting down again, Tu Xun wanted to say thank you again, but he didn't know what to say, and he stopped talking for a long time, so he sighed deeply.

"Ping Beibo, I used to be the same as everyone else, I misjudged you!"

That's enough! It's certainly very happy to be retribution, but who is the score!

Xu Xun smiled, and just as a sentence came from outside at this time: "Young Master, Liu Liu and Liu Qi have already arrived." ”

Although he knew that he was not an official when he heard the name, Tu Xun was in an extremely complicated mood, and he just wanted to go back as soon as possible to calm down, and then come to the door to thank him in the future, and immediately said: "Since Pingbei Bo has a guest, then I won't bother......

"Eh, Master Tu will stay for a while. Since you happen to be here, these two people also ask you to meet what they did in the past and the most related to the Criminal Department, I am worried that I can't find someone who knows the roots, and now that you are here, it is the best. Without waiting for Tu Xun to open his mouth to agree or refuse, Xu Xun raised his voice and ordered: "Bao, go and invite Liu Liu and Liu Qi over." ”

"Yes!"

Taking advantage of the efforts to invite people over there, Xu Xun explained to Tu Xun the business of the two of them concisely. Sure enough, Tu Xun listened to it, his face became solemn, and finally shook his head and said: "If there are many bandits today, I don't know how many sea fishing documents are sent every year, but there are very few who can get the main master." is the few who can get it, or these people outside the official mansion take the reward money they received from the official mansion, which shows that those errands are useless. When Wen Wenjin in Zhangzhou was in turmoil, I was ordered to go to suppress it, in fact, where there are so many people who are willing to rebel, they are all coerced and subordinated to the chalk surname. At that time, I only let people pass on the word, only ask the first evil, forgive the coercion, and the great change will be suppressed in a moment, and now these bandits are the same......"

Listening to Tu Xun talk about those anti-thefts, Xu Xunzai listened carefully, and asked a word or two from time to time, and when it was reported that Liu Liu and Liu Qi were already waiting outside, he temporarily stopped and called in. As the Liu brothers entered the door, he noticed that the two of them had changed their outfits, and they didn't look as strong as they did in the morning, but their tiger-backed figures couldn't be hidden, and they still didn't look like good people. Seeing that the two of them were stunned when they entered the door, he bowed his head and said, "Since your two brothers used to make a living by hunting thieves, then this adult should know if you want to come." This is Tu Shangshu of the Criminal Department. ”

Tu Shangshu of the Criminal Department!

Liu Liu and Liu Qi were taken aback at the same time. The people who visited Xing'an Bofu yesterday have all noticed it, the official department Shangshu Lin Han, the left capital of the Imperial Court Zhang Fuhua, the right capital of the imperial history Zhang Cai, and a few Shu Jishi. Xu Xun is a military attaché, and he actually has such a team among civil officials, which is naturally extraordinary. But who knew that only one day later, they found out again that the big priest of the Criminal Department was also the guest of the Xu family!

Tu Xun served as a member of the Criminal Department, Lang Zhong, a member of the Nanjing Dali Temple, a Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and a waiter of the Criminal Department...... This is all on the name of the sentence, even if they are just flat-headed old chalk surnames, how can they not know?

At this moment, the two of them hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "See Lord Tu." ”

"Get up!"

Tu Xun remembered the difficulties of the Criminal Department, his years of experience in criminal names, and the old state that had just been in front of Xu Xun disappeared for a while, and was replaced by an indescribable spirit of fierceness. The anti-guest looked at Liu Liu and Liu Qi dominantly, and he asked bluntly: "I have also heard that there are your Liu family brothers in Bazhou, but if the official chalk mansion can't hold the horse thieves, you can all catch them." Just now, Pingbeibo praised your martial arts again, which shows that you have real skills. ”…,

Seeing that the two of them were humble one after another, he suddenly said in shock: "Since you have real skills, why do you play those little tricks of raising thieves!" ”

Xu Xun also knows this, but in addition to these folk heroes who are like bounty hunters doing this, there are also anti-theft royal historians who are greedy for money and merit have also done such things in secret, but it is not clear whether Liu Liu and Liu Qi have done this. Therefore, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not interrupt Tu Xun, but looked at the Liu family brothers.

"Lord Tu, we respect you as the Grand Priest of the Chalk Court, but you can't spew blood, this thief has never been done!" Liu Qi was furious by Tu Xun's words, and immediately shouted loudly, "Our brothers can recognize everything, this thing that has not been done is not done, even the ventilation report ......"

"Old Seven!"

Liu Liu was full of regret at this time for bringing Liu Qi out this time, and he was speechless for a while, and the two big men above had delicate faces, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and secretly calculated the possibility of escaping out of disharmony. However, just as he was extremely nervous and peeked at Xu Xun repeatedly, the young earl burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Lord Tu is just a casual deception, you are straight! Even if you are a bandit, you are not all poor and vicious, and the ventilation report book is nothing, and you are not from the official mansion. Speaking of this, Xu Xun suddenly changed his words, "However, you were receiving rewards before, so it's just a matter of doing this, if it is the same when you go to the Criminal Department in the future, then I will never spare you!"
