When I saw Xu Jiye again in the study, the situation was different from the previous two times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info for the old man, it is particularly difficult to say a word of thanks to his face, since the two of them entered the study, Xu Jiye's attitude has been quite bland, and he only has a simple sentence to Jiang Yun.

"Well done, like a man."

Thinking about what he did to Xu Huanting along the way, Jiang Yun felt that this evaluation became more and more pertinent. He gasped, forced a smile, and said nothing. In any case, this time he made a great achievement, and Xu Jiye rarely kept him overnight. He called a servant and arranged for Jiang Yun to stay in the guest room for a while.

This kind of gratitude is very subtle, Jiang Yun still has two cases on his back, after he returns to the city, since the Guogong Mansion can get the news, the Jinling Mansion will come too. Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring outside, and if you rush out of the house, you will be sent to prison in the blink of an eye. Once you go in and want to come out again, it will be difficult, Xu Jiye's high position is true, but he can't rashly meddle in local official affairs and work against the government office. The impact is too bad! In these years, no matter what his status, there will definitely be political enemies, and his style of action can be high-profile, but there must be a bottom line.

Jiang Yun knew it in his heart, thanked him, and went down to rest with the little guy.

Something like this happened, Xu Jiye naturally wanted to ask clearly. After figuring out the ins and outs, although he was angry in his heart, he still immediately sent someone to take the doctor to the farm where Xu Huanting was imprisoned, and first brought Ji Yu back to the Gongfu for treatment.

When Ji Yu was carried into the city, the people in Jinling officialdom all smiled bitterly. The previous overseer was crippled by Xu Chengsi and sent back to the capital lying down. The new Overseer, who had been in office for less than two months, had repeated the mistakes of his predecessor, and it seemed even more miserable. When they heard that the hero who did it was Jiang Yun, who had been wanted by the government for several days, everyone came back to their senses.

It's no wonder, if you don't bite if you don't bite if there are too many lice, this Jiang Yun will not end well, and you have to drag out the rhythm of your back when you die.

The calm before the storm lasted for most of the night, and early the next morning, people went to the Guogong Mansion one after another to look for trouble. rushed to the front, naturally Yin Cui Yuliang of Jinling Mansion, who was known for his blue sky. This was expected by everyone, including Jiang Yun, and the people related to this matter had gathered in Xu Jiye's study early to wait.

After Cui Yuliang arrived, he saluted Xu Jiye and said directly: "Xiaguan has seen Wei Guogong, and Xiaguan heard that Jiang Yun, who had stolen imperial property and escaped from prison with murder, has returned to the city, and he is in the mansion. And he died without repentance, and committed a crime against the wind, and even beat Ji Yu, an overseer appointed by the imperial court, to a serious injury, and asked Wei Guogong to hand over these murderers to the lower officials to deal with. ”

Cui Yuliang has a lot of background in the imperial court, so he naturally knows Ji Yu's identity, the dignified prince was beaten alive and disabled under his rule, once this matter is known to the imperial court, he will be regarded as the end of his official life, and it is very likely that he will even live to the end.

The matter is too serious to be concealed. Cui Yuliang, who received the news, felt that a catastrophe was coming, and he thought about it for half the night, thinking that if he could take the criminal in his hand as soon as possible, and then personally send someone to escort him to Beijing to ask the court for guilt, there might be a glimmer of life.

So he couldn't wait to kill early in the morning, and he was extremely tough in his attitude, at this critical juncture, Cui Yuliang couldn't care if this move would offend Xu Jiye. My life is almost gone, what do I want to do?

"What's wrong with hitting him?" Xu Chengsi hurriedly spoke: "Ji Yu's bastard thing, he actually kidnapped Huanting and wanted to do wrong, even if Jiang Yun didn't beat him, I had to beat him to death." Such a beast, do you still have to open your eyes for him? ”

Cui Yuliang snorted disappreciatively: "Little grandfather, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." What evidence do you have for accusing Ji of robbing General Xu? ”

"I'm the credentials." Xu Huanting replied lightly.

"General Xu, you are the party, which could have been counted as a witness." Cui Yuliang shook his head and said, "But your relationship with Jiang Yun is well known to everyone in Jinling City, so do you know that you didn't deliberately frame Ji Yu in order to shield him?" And who can prove that you were taken captive and that you did not go into hiding? ”

Xu Jiye said coldly: "Could it be that Lord Cui thinks that my country's government will join forces to deceive you?" ”

"Grandpa Guo is angry, and the lower officials have no such intentions." Cui Yuliang defended: "The lower officials just follow the law, and the Great Zhou Law Decree states that the family of the criminal is not allowed to testify, and this family naturally includes the fiancée." General Xu has said many times in public that she and Jiang Yun are in love and have decided to pick a day to do it. Although it has not been officially married, emotionally speaking, it is no different from his fiancée, so he should naturally not be witnessed. ”

"Grandpa Guo." Cui Yuliang shook Xu Jiye to the end, and said in a deep voice: "If it is not for the lower official to make it difficult for you, the matter has reached such a point, the lower official might as well speak out." What is Ji Yu's identity, you don't know, take a step back and say, even if he really did something to General Xu, do you think the one in the palace will admit it? For the sake of royal face, Your Majesty will definitely not admit it, if you bite to death, this is in front of the Manchu Dynasty, slapping Your Majesty's face fiercely, and you are an enemy of the court. Are you really ready to deal with the court's condemnation now? ”

Cui Yuliang shook his head and sighed: "Forgive the official for saying something that shouldn't be said, even if you are ready, is His Royal Highness King Wu ready?" As soon as Your Majesty is alive, there will be a father-son righteousness, so no matter how tough you are, you will definitely not be able to fight against the court at this moment. Ji Yu was beaten to a serious injury, and now life and death are still unpredictable, so it is reasonable to be reasonable, and there should always be an explanation. ”

Don't care if Cui Yuliang's heartfelt words are really from the bottom of his heart, but he did succeed in saying it into Xu Jiye's heart, so even if the night passed, why Ji Yu was seriously injured, the Guogong Mansion did not reveal it, this is to save a face for the emperor, and also to leave a line for himself.

Cui Yuliang was right, it was impossible for the emperor to admit this matter anyway, because there was no fourth person present at all, except for the person concerned. Whether it is Jiang Yun or Ji Yu, what she said is not credible, as for Xu Huanting, because she had the intention to make Ji Yu die, her intimate relationship with Jiang Yun was revealed in and out of her words, so that she was also disqualified from testifying. There are no witnesses, no physical evidence, the ending is Jiang Yun, Xu Huanting is safe and sound, there is not even a wound on her body, but Ji Yu is lying there without knowing whether she is alive or dead.

In this case, the government cannot be tough. On the contrary, the imperial court can pursue it without scruples, and it is easier for the world to sympathize with the injured, and the position of the Guogong Mansion will become very embarrassing, and it is even very likely to be bitten back by the embarrassed emperor.

But hand over Jiang Yun? Xu Jiye is obviously not reconciled. Jiang Yun saved Xu Huanting, and the Xu family sold him in a blink of an eye, how will he mix in Jinling in the future? What will others think of Guogong Mansion and Xu Jiye? What's more, the current pressure is far from the level that can make him succumb, and there is no need to run out and embarrass people in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiye shook his head firmly and said, "What Master Cui said, the old man naturally understands. But Jiang Yun can't be handed over to the government for the time being, so please go back. The old man will write to the court and explain it to His Majesty in person. ”

Cui Yuliang's face was not good, and before he could speak, a strong man walked in outside the door, this person was Wu Ji, and he said as he walked: "Lord Cui's face, Grandpa Guo doesn't give it, so if you add the face of the last general, I don't know if you give it?" ”

"Is that you?" Xu Huanting recognized him immediately.

"Who are you?" Xu Jiye asked lightly.

"The last general, Wu Ji, is currently the commander of the third battalion of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, and Wu Xiuming is the father of the last general."

Hearing the name Wu Xiuming, Xu Jiye's brows couldn't help frowning. They should be considered old acquaintances, but this acquaintance did not leave a good impression.

If it is said that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies controlled by Xu Jiye, the Duke of Wei, is the strongest guard command post in the south of the Great Zhou. Then the commander of the capital controlled by Wu Xiuming, the Duke of Song, is the strongest in the northern part of the Great Zhou.

Unlike other local command and envoy divisions, the capital command and envoy department is a general term for many departments, which are generally divided into four parts.

First of all, there was the commander stationed in the capital, about 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The second is the Imperial City Guard in the capital, including the Praetorian Guard, the Royal Forest Army, and the Yu Guard, with a total of 50,000 troops.

Again, it is distributed in the six provinces around the capital, and the six major commanders and envoys under its direct control, with a total of 30,000 troops.

Finally, there is the Jingji camp. In peacetime, this is a virtual camp, that is to say, it is not real, only when there is a war and the capital is about to be in danger, the capital command has the right to set up the Gyeonggi camp and draw troops and horses from all the provinces of the country.

Of course, these are just theories. In fact, Wu Xiuming's life was not as easy as Xu Jiye's, he was under the emperor's nose, and the emperor would not rest assured that such an important force would be handed over to others.

Most of the time, Wu Xiuming was just an idle prince, and only when there was a war near the capital, he had the opportunity to take over the army transfer tiger talisman from the emperor.

is also a national prince, and he also nominally leads the strongest army of the Great Zhou, one south and one north, and the two of them can look at each other pleasing to the eye, that's the real hell.

Looking at the person in front of him, Xu Jiye's face suddenly darkened. (To be continued.) )
