readx; The bloody case of Bao'en Temple soon spread to the government, and Xu Yiming, the new county magistrate of Chang'an County, heard that the people killed were more than a dozen famous rangers in Chang'an County, but the murderers were two women, who were said to be the family members of Li Qing'an, the king of Zhao, and scared Xu Yiming to rush to Chongdefang with more than 100 officials. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But at this time, Chongde Fang had been controlled by Qianniuwei's army, and thousands of Qianniuwei soldiers came from all directions, closing the door of the fang, and Nan Jiyun personally led the team to search for the dozen rangers from house to house.

Xu Yiming realized that the rumors were true, and the people who were molested by more than a dozen rangers were really Li Qingan's family members, otherwise they would not have moved the people like this, Xu Yiming felt regret and hatred in his heart, in fact, many of these dozen rangers had already come to sue them, especially at the beginning of this year, they were also suspected of burning down the Zaowang Hall of Bao'en Temple, just because they had two relatives of the county lieutenant, plus they did not cause a murder, that matter would not be over, it was their connivance that finally caused today's catastrophe, Xu Yiming's heart was extremely remorseful, if this matter is not done well, it will completely ruin his career.

He rushed back to Chongde Fang with more than 100 people, but the door was closed, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and the people guarding the door had been replaced by Qianniuwei soldiers, no matter how Xu Yiming called the door, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

At this time, a fast catcher reacted a little, and he whispered to Xu Yiming: "Xu County Order, what are we going to do?" ”

Xu Yiming was stunned, yes! What did he go to do? Do you still want to arrest the murderers? He was just about to order to turn around, but after thinking about it again, if this matter was ignored, once the political affairs hall or Li Qingan investigated it, he would be suspected of dereliction of duty.

Xu Yiming felt very embarrassed, and at this time, Nan Jiyun rushed to the front of the fang door when he heard the news, and said to him in a loud voice: "Xu County Order, this matter is solved by our Qianniuwei, you can go back!" ”

Xu Yiming lowered his head and pondered for a moment, it would be best for Qianniuwei to take this matter over, he could also explain it to the political affairs hall, Qianniuwei intervened, making his authority unable to be exercised, and the political affairs hall would not say anything about him? Everyone knows that Qianniuwei is the real leader of the two counties of Chang'an Wannian, thinking of this, he was just about to speak, at this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, only to hear someone shouting: "Open the door, the general has arrived!" ”

Xu Yiming hurriedly flashed to the side, and the gate of the fang was also opened, only to see hundreds of cavalry escorting a carriage galloping over, and there was a purple flag inserted on the carriage, which was Li Qing'an's arrival.

Li Qing'an had just received a quick step, Gao Wu and Mingzhu had an accident in Bao'en Temple, and were almost insulted by the bullies, he was suddenly furious, and personally rushed to Chongde Fang, the carriage galloped over, and suddenly stopped in front of Xu Yiming with a 'quack', Li Qingan picked up the curtain and asked coldly: "Xu County Order, are you here to handle the case?" ”

Li Qing'an was very dissatisfied with the local government at this time, these ruffians have been bullying women for a long time, it is the dereliction of duty of the local government, Xu Yiming heard Li Qing'an's cold tone, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "I heard that there are rangers who are doing evil, I am here to arrest them!" ”

Li Qing'an nodded, his face softened a little, and said: "I heard that these land tyrants have not been evil for a day or two, your local government must investigate carefully, what other cases they have committed, and they will be dealt with strictly!" ”

"The lowly office understands, so let's start investigating."

"Alright! You can also go in. ”

Li Qing'an lowered the curtain, and the carriage sped up and went directly to Bao'en Temple......

In the Bao'en Temple, Gao Wu and Mingzhu were placed in your room to rest temporarily, Mingzhu comforted Gao Wu, "Sister Wu, there must be no problem, since it is Qianniuwei who controls Chongde Fang, then Sister Wu will be fine, maybe you will have to investigate the responsibility of those bastards." ”

At this time, Gao Wu's anger in her heart calmed down a little, and she killed five people in a row, she also regretted it a little, although these villains are hateful, but the crime is not to death, but she killed five of them, I don't know how their wives and children will suffer?

Gao Wu lowered her head and said nothing, but she secretly regretted it in her heart, but the person had already been killed, and she had nothing to do.

At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, only to hear the voice of the abbot of Bao'en Temple, "Your Highness, these rangers have been evil for many years, and there are countless women of good families who have been ruined by them, and they are not sorry to die. ”

"Then I will work hard for the monks of your temple, and I will give good to your temple."

This was Li Qing'an's voice, Mingzhu and Gao Wu stood up at once, the door opened, and a large group of people walked in, there were monks and soldiers, and the leader was Li Qing'an, he walked into the room and said to the two of them: "Are you all right?" ”

Mingzhu was fast-mouthed, and hurriedly stepped forward, chirping like a sparrow: "If it weren't for Sister Wu's battle, we would have died here today!" ”

Li Qingan smiled at Gao Wu, and praised with a thumbs up: "With the strength of one person to defeat fifteen people, he really deserves to be a female general." ”

Gao Wu's face flushed, and he lowered his head and said: "At that time, I was in a hurry, and I couldn't take care of anything, but now I think about it, I'm still a little afraid, not as brave as you said." ”

Li Qingan smiled, turned back to his abbot and said, "Please wait outside the door for a while!" ”

The abbot was most afraid of Gao Wu suing him in the back, but he had no choice but to look at Gao Wu with a blank look, and retreated, Li Qingan gave his own soldiers a look, and the personal soldiers immediately closed the door, and then he asked the two women: "Why don't you have guards?" ”

Mingzhu blinked, not knowing how to answer, is she also qualified to lead guards? Gao Wu said in a low voice: "Originally, the eldest sister wanted to send two people to follow me, but I refused. ”

"Why?"

Without waiting for Gao Wu to speak, Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Sister Wu is just living in your house, not your family, she takes your personal guard, it's very inappropriate, besides, when did I bring the guards, Sister Wu is too, I've always been used to going alone, what guards do you need?" ”

"Is that the reason?" Li Qingan looked at Gao Wu and asked.

Gao Wu nodded silently, "Mingzhu is right, I am indeed not qualified to bring your guard, and if I bring your guard, the news will be bad for my father when it reaches Chang'an, Shichiro, I am willing to be responsible for this matter today." ”

"What are you responsible for?"

Li Qingan sneered and said: "Those land bullies are full of evil, and they are innocent, I have ordered to continue to search for other fish that have slipped through the net, and I will strictly punish everyone!" ”

Gao Wu sighed and said, "Although they are guilty, they will not die, and I hope Shichiro will deal with them fairly." ”

"I know. I will publicize their evil surnames one by one. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan asked again: "I heard someone say, you met an acquaintance, who is it?" ”

"It's Cui Yuan, the right minister of Chengdu, and his son, who just left the temple not long ago."

'Cui Yuan? Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, did he come to Chang'an? Why didn't he know anything about it, and he hurriedly asked, "Where do they live?" ”

"I don't know about this, but Shichiro can ask the abbot, they seem to know each other very well, maybe the abbot knows where he lives."

Li Qingxin was in a hurry, he opened the door and was about to go out to ask the abbot, walked two steps and turned back and said: "My carriage is waiting at the door, you go back first, and when you come out later, you must bring two people, at least someone must report the news." ”

Gao Wu bowed and said, "Thank you Shichiro, then we'll go back first." ”

"Well, go ahead!"

"Brother-in-law, the last time I went to Anxi to report the news, it seems that you did not compensate me enough..... Ay! Sister Wu, let me finish my words. ”

Without waiting for Mingzhu to finish speaking, Gao Wu dragged her away.

Li Qing thought about Cui Yuan's affairs with peace of mind, so he went out and asked the abbot: "May I ask the abbot, do you know where Cui Yuan lives?" ”

"This .....," the abbot hesitated, but still said, "Their family lives in Anyefang next door. ”

．．．．．．．．．

Cui Yuan has no house in Chang'an, and the family borrowed to live in the house of his brother Cui Yu, Cui Yu was the first to be the Taishou of Longzhou, and later transferred to the court as the imperial history of Zhongcheng, the current Taichang Siqing, is the Cui family second only to Cui Lian's senior official in the court.

Cui Yu didn't go to court today, he took sick leave to rest at home, at this time, he was talking to Cui Yuan about what happened in Bao'en Temple, they didn't care about Gao Wu's killing, what they cared about was the relationship between Gao Wu and Li Qing'an.

Cui Yuan and Cui Yu are both old politicians, especially Cui Yuan, Gao Wu almost became his daughter-in-law, but Gao Wu himself refused to live or die, Cui Yuan also didn't understand a little, according to Gao Wu's age, it was difficult for her to marry again, marry her second son, she was Gao Pan from the door, and her son still liked her very much, but she refused to marry, and did not hesitate to turn her face with her father, if she wanted to marry the royal family as a concubine, but when Li Longji was about to marry her as a princess, she ran away, which has always made Cui Yuan puzzled, until now he suddenly realized, it turns out that Gao Wu likes Li Qingan.

No wonder! Li Qing'an used to be Gao Xianzhi's general, and it was normal for Gao Wu to like him, if Gao Wu really married Li Qing'an, then the pattern of the Southern Tang Dynasty would become delicate, and the key to this was Gao Xianzhi.

Cui Yuan sighed and said: "If Gao Xianzhi defects to Li Qing'an, then at least half of the army in the Southern Tang Dynasty will be taken away by Li Qing'an, don't look at Li Heng's desire to replace Gao Xianzhi with his son and take away his military power, it is actually very difficult, Gao Xianzhi's prestige in the army is extremely high, even if there are no Xi Yuanqing and other confidant generals, as long as he raises his arms, more than half of the officers will defect to him." ”

"Is it okay to kill him?"

Cui Yu took a sip of hot tea and asked, "If Li Heng knew that Gao Wu was married to Li Qing'an, he would definitely not tolerate Gao Xianzhi anymore, and would trick him into Chengdu to kill him, so what do you think?" ”

Cui Yuan shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy to kill, if you kill Gao Xianzhi, the army will mutiny, if you can kill him, Li Heng would have killed him a long time ago, throw a mouse bogey!" ”

Both of them were silent, and at this time, Cui Yu sighed and said: "Gao Wu married Li Qing'an, Pei Wan'er also married him soon, Li Qing'an is a big tree, everyone wants to be attached to it, and I talked to my eldest brother yesterday about whether I want to give him the daughter of the Cui family!" ”

"Why does the Cui family want to join this kind of marriage?"

Cui Yuan was a little unhappy and said, he had always disliked this kind of political marriage, especially the Hongchen of the Bu Pei family, which made him even more disdainful, but he saw that Cui Yu was a little worried, so he asked, "What, do you have to get married?" ”

Cui Yu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether you marry or not, the key is that the momentum of the Pei family is very strong now, especially after Pei Zunqing is the right minister, that guy you know, full of family members, unscrupulously expanding the power of the Pei family, I counted it yesterday, originally the power of the Pei family was a little worse than our Cui family, but after Pei Zunqing's expansion, now it has surpassed the Cui family, it has only been two months, what if he is the right minister for a year?" At that time, our Cui family would definitely have no place to stay, and the entire court and place would be controlled by his Pei family, alas! ”

Cui Yu sighed heavily, but Cui Yuan smiled: "I think you are a little worried." ”

"Why?" Cui Yu was stunned.

Cui Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think Li Qingan is a fool?" Will the Pei family sit big? Let me tell you, this is absolutely impossible, originally he married Pei Wan'er to suppress the Dugu family, the Dugu family is small and easy to be suppressed, but the Pei family is different, if you indulge the Pei family, it will bring him endless disasters in the future, and there will be a situation of 'king and horse, sharing the world', this is by no means what he Li Qingan wants to see, so I dare to say that soon he will support the opponent of the Pei family. ”

Cui Yuan had just finished speaking, only to hear a family member outside the door hurriedly report: "Master, His Royal Highness King Zhao has come down, I want to see my lord!" ”

Cui Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Cui Yuan: "Second brother, you hide quickly." ”

Cui Yuan shook his head, he knew that Li Qingan must have known that he was here, in fact, he came to visit him, "Third brother, this may be the Cui family opportunity I said, you go out to meet him!" I'll see him with you. ”

．．．．．．．．．．

On the steps outside the mansion gate, Li Qingan is holding his hands behind his back, looking at Cui Yu's mansion from the outside, covering an area of more than 50 acres, with towering courtyard walls, black tiles and white walls, quite a bit of the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

At this time, the door of the mansion opened, and Cui Yu hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said, "Let His Royal Highness King Zhao wait for a long time, and the crime of despicability deserves death." ”

Li Qingan also smiled and returned a salute and said, "Cui Yuanjun is guilty, I came uninvited." ”

"Hey! Your Highness is polite, please come into the house. ”

Li Qingan was no longer polite, and walked straight into the gate of Cui's Mansion with his hands behind his back.

"I heard that Cui Yuanjun is sick, is he better now?"

"A little old problem, coughing and wheezing in the fall, just rest for a day."

"Hmmm! Then I'll talk to you casually and don't disturb your rest. ”

"Nope! No! Your Highness please. ”

The two came to the study, Li Qingan and Cui Yu entered the study, but they saw Cui Yuan bowing deeply to him, "Sinner Cui Yuan, see His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”

Li Qing'an's eyes also narrowed, he came to Cui's house just to see this person.
