Liu Yu asked, "The two deputy envoys have already found out the exact hiding place of the remaining rebels?" “

Yan Qing replied, "That's true. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLast night, the two of us visited Fang to investigate the actions of the party. The remnants are very delicate. The two of us were besieged by them, and my brother, Deputy Envoy Lin, was also seriously injured. Originally, he should have come to Sizhou Mansion overnight to seek support, but unfortunately there were demon sect remnants who set up ambushes to intercept them along the way into the city. The two of us have gone through all kinds of hardships to get here. There was a slight choked voice in his voice.

Liu Yu thought to himself, eighty percent of you are greedy for merit, and you don't want me to share the credit of the Sizhou Mansion and do it yourself. In the end, it was discovered by the opposition party and then besieged.

Liu Yu turned to Lin Chong and asked, "How is Deputy Envoy Lin's injury?" Wang Shuban sent a doctor to see the injury of the deputy envoy. “

Lin Chong got up with Yan Qing's support and replied, "Thank you for your care." I've seen a doctor. Now I also ask Taishou to immediately transfer troops to capture the rebels. “

Yan Qing continued: "Please also ask Taishou to give an order." “

Liu Yuyi frowned: "Yesterday, the two of you exposed your hiding. Can you still hold people? “

Liu Yu didn't mean to embarrass Yan Qing and Lin Chong. Originally, it was not a mistake, but now Lin and Yan have come to ask for troops, if they can get one or two Demon Sect remnants, they can be regarded as able to make a difference. It is normal to brag about some credit in the Tang newspaper to the imperial court. Anyway, if you don't hide it, you can understand it.

However, Liu Yu was a little anxious to see Yan Qing and Lin Chong, so he just took a look.

Yan Qing replied without hesitation: "There are not a few people in Sizhou who rebel against the remnants. According to our judgment, Yu Yi is not only a place to settle in Sizhou, but also has some legitimate business as a pretext. Yan Gong sent the general Xiang Jun Zhang Prison and the head arrest of the officials, and I just arranged it for them. No matter how many rebels are caught, it is all a credit. “

Liu Yu didn't answer, just "hehe" twice.

Yan Qing said again: "Originally, the two of us were supposed to report back to Tokyo Youji to get people again." However, it takes a long time to go back and forth. Second, if Tokyo sent someone to search for the rebels。。。。。。 Hehe, that Taishou is not only useless, but also has unnoticed mistakes. “

Liu Yu bowed his head slightly, and said sarcastically: "Then the mansion still wants to thank the two superiors?" “

Yan Qingxin said: Top your lungs! The big traitor, why do you still have to put on a show. However, if you ask for help, it is better to speak thoroughly.

Yan Qing: "Gong Yan, Xia Guan has never read much. He has always been a military officer, and he has been speaking inconsiderately before, and he also invited Yan Gong Haihan. The wisdom of the ether is to be able to understand the difficulties of the two of us. Last night I was detected by the rebellion, and if we bring someone over to capture me after we return to Tokyo, we will definitely fight in vain. However, as Xia Guan said earlier, we have real evidence of Yu Rebellion's activities in Sizhou. At that time, although the two of us did not catch the rebellion, even if they did, they would not lose their official positions and be dismissed. But if the lower officials tell the truth, the court will inquire about it。。。。。。。 It's not easy to reply too. Yan Gong thinks but? “

Liu Yu stroked his hair again and pondered for a while, and said, "Well, it is understandable to say this." The two deputy envoys were lonely, and although they found the traces of the group of thieves, they were unable to capture them. So, with the cooperation of the members of my Sizhou government, we bulldozed the remnants of the party and its nest in one fell swoop. Reporting to the court in this way and going down to Anli Shu is exactly where the responsibility of the pastor of this government lies. “

Yan Qing and Lin Chong each scolded in their hearts: Old fox, I gave you a lot of credit for nothing, and you still have a shelf.

I heard Liu Yu assign his personal entourage to summon the prisoners of the Xiang army and the officials to arrest the head. Then he said to Lin Chong and Yan Qing: "The two deputy envoys came here at noon, and they haven't eaten yet, right?" ”

Without waiting for Yan Qing to answer, he instructed Wang Shu to do: "You ask the attendants outside the door to pass the dining hall." He turned his head and said to Yan Qing and Lin Chong: "Today, this mansion will be a host, and the friendship of the landlord will be exhausted." The two deputy envoys should not refuse. Regarding the matter of Fang Rebel's remnant party, we can talk about it while eating. ”

As soon as you look at Liu Yu's style, you will know what an official article is. Anyway, it's not in a hurry, but it's useless to be in a hurry. Even if a stupid thief is discovered, he knows how to run.

Yan Qing came to Liu Yu to arrange for someone to arrest Fang Layu, but in fact, she didn't expect to catch anyone at all. As long as Liu Yu sent officers and soldiers to create a false impression of taking people everywhere. After all, as soon as the Demon Sect was dispatched last night, there were more than a dozen well-trained and fearless masters who were not afraid of death. Even if Yan Qing and the others want to leave Sizhou, there is no cover, and the road is afraid that it will be full of dangers. Now it can be said that Liu Yu mobilized troops and horses to hunt and arrest, and it is best for the remnants of the Demon Sect to disperse in a hurry. Even if the Demon Sect wanted to calculate Yan Qing and his party, he would have to avoid the limelight first.

And Liu Yu, who has both the cunning of a Chinese peasant and the shrewdness of a Chinese scholar, is even more pretentious, fooling the imperial court. Up and down to deal with the past, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

The three of them tacitly walked out of the warm pavilion and sat down in the flower hall.

Liu Yuguan is the master again, and he is in the first place. Many rituals of the Song Dynasty were inherited from the Tang Dynasty and respected by the left. Lin Chong and Yan Qing were not of high grade and were martial artists, so they were arranged in the first two seats on the right. Although Wang Shuban is a small official, because he is Liu Yu's confidant, he also sat with Lin and Yan (according to the rules, officials are not allowed to sit with officials, but Liu Yu has always been unruly).

Although Liu Yu is in officialdom, he is also taboo to be too high-profile in front of foreign officials. However, the Song Dynasty scholars generally lived in luxury. Liu Yu is accustomed to making money up and down. So today's banquet is enough to support the scene.

The families of nobles and high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty generally had "four divisions and six bureaus". That is, the account is set up in the department, the kitchen department, the tea and wine department, the plate department, the fruit bureau, the candied fruit bureau, the vegetable bureau, the oil candle bureau, the incense medicine bureau, and the arrangement bureau. There is a special person in charge of arranging flowers and hanging paintings in the official eunuch's house, and cutting materials and batches.

Liu Yu Hebei farmers have been cold for ten years and jumped into the dragon gate. The real dynasty is Tian Shelang, the person who ascends to the Tianzi Hall. There is still a nouveau riche temperament in his bones. It also serves as the prefect of Sizhou, a land and water metropolis. Usually I am used to being poor and luxury.

Just watch all kinds of dishes flow to the table.

The first ones are ring cakes, oil cakes, jujube towers, all kinds of fresh fruits, and all kinds of candied fruits. Because it is a meat eater, it is natural that pigs, sheep, rabbits, geese and other cooked meats are indispensable. The plates are made of glass, agate and crystal.

Yan Qing saw that Liu Yu didn't move his chopsticks, so of course he wouldn't tear off his cheeks first. Yan Qing is also cautious, otherwise he will make jokes again. It turns out that the first dozen dishes are called kanpan, which is for the guests!

Liu Yu and Lin Chong shook their heads slightly and admired it, and then saw the waiter take down the first look. Then serve the main dish and wine cup on a sterling silver plate. Plates and cups have handles.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty feasted the ministers, and the wine was opened fifteen. Governor Liu's mansion feasted guests, and seven glasses of wine were to be eaten.

Even though it was lunch, the music still had to be played. It's just that dancing girls, juggling, etc. are exempted, after all, when Zhang Jian and the head arrester come, they will have to arrange the arrest.

Liu Yu sat down and picked up the first glass of wine and said to Yan Qing and Lin Chong: "The two deputy envoys, please drink full." If it comes, it will be safe. In the afternoon, there are still state affairs to deal with in this house. You two can have fun. “

Lin and Yan got up and raised their glasses in thanks, and drank them in one gulp.

I heard Liu Yu say again: "Deputy Envoy Lin is from Tokyo, and it is clearly written on the official letter. But I don't know where Deputy Yan's home mountain is? “

Yan Qing replied: "Xia Guan is a person from the Hebei Daimyo Mansion. “

Liu Yu smiled: "It turns out that you are from your hometown." This mansion is from Fucheng, does Deputy Envoy Yan know? “

Yan Qing said in her heart, know, know. Fucheng has such a big traitor as you, it's really my Hebei misfortune. He replied: "It turns out that Yan Gong and Qing are both Yan Zhao boys. Hey, but there is a rudeness in Caiqing, for the sake of the hometown, it is good for Yan Gong to forgive his sins. “

Liu Yu said in a calm tone: "What do you say?" Although you and I perform our own duties, we both serve the court, and there are occasional mistakes in words, which is not enough to mention. It is also fate that the two deputy envoys came to my Sizhou. Come, please fill this second glass of wine. “

At the official banquet of the Song Dynasty, the appetizer of each wine was different. Seeing the waiter constantly changing dishes, Yan Qing sighed secretly: This Song Dynasty is really tired of serving people.

After three rounds of wine, the dish reaches five flavors. Sizhou soldiers and horses Zhang was imprisoned and Xie Dalang, the head of the government office, came to the flower hall. With Liu Yu's consent, Yan Qing arranged with the two to arrest Fang and the Yu Party.

After Zhang Jian and Xie Dalang received Liu Yu's instructions to go out, Liu Yu also persuaded him to drink. Yan Qing saw that Lin Chong kept giving her eyes.

Yan Qing thought about it: Ah! I was busy eating and drinking, but I forgot that there was a mysterious figure in the carriage in front of the gate of the palace, and the two of them had been waiting. If it weren't for the mysterious figure himself and Lin Chong last night, it would be interesting to say whether he and Lin Chong would have escaped with their lives.

Note: Liu Yu was sentenced to Hebei two years later, that is, in 1124 A.D., in the sixth year of Xuanhe. It is equivalent to the current President of the Provincial High Court and the Chief Prosecutor of the High Prosecutor's Office. At that time, Liu Yu was 51 years old. Later, because of the invasion of the Jin army, Liu Yu abandoned his official position and fled. Later, I went to Jinan to do the prefect. That's why Liu Yuguan is small.
