Chapter 609: The First Bullet Going Home
In the court, a game quietly kicked off.
Yang Shouwen's secret fold was sent to Wu Zetian's desk in an expedited manner of six hundred miles, which also made the atmosphere in the court tense immediately.
A dignified secret envoy was actually attacked in Jincheng?
As an official of the imperial court, the Jincheng County Commander was murdered, not to mention, even the Jincheng County Lieutenant also colluded with the thieves, and even after the incident, the whole door was killed by the thieves...... This is clearly a slap in the face of the court, a slap in the face of Wu Zetian, and it is a crackling sound.
It's so arrogant! It's so rampant......
Originally, after Di Renjie passed away, Wu Zetian rarely asked about the government affairs of the court.
But after hearing about this incident, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. At the same time, Fengchen Mansion also dispatched secret agents to run rampant in Luoyang City. Under the instructions of Zhang Yizhi's brother, the gods were disturbed.
"Since the country has passed away, I often reflect on whether I was too strong in the past.
But now it seems that it is not that I am strong, but that there are some people who always want to make trouble out of nothing and want to stir up the turmoil in the court.
In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless...... Examine! Check it out for me. I also want to see who is behind the scenes, wanting to spoil my country. Anyone who dares to stop it will be punished as the same case, and there will be no mercy. ”
As soon as Wu Zetian's will came out, people immediately panicked.
Especially those miserable courtiers who have been tossed by Zhang Yizhi's brothers, they want to cry without tears. The entire Luoyang City was shrouded in a dark cloud. Wu Zetian's iron-blooded methods when he ascended the throne are still fresh in many people's memories. This time, although there are no cool officials such as Zhou Jie, Lai Junchen, and Hou Sizhi, the Zhang brothers' methods are not far behind, and even more terrifying.
To put it bluntly, these people are acting on orders, or they are selfish, but they still know the general situation.
But Zhang Yizhi's brothers are different, they are more often taking the opportunity to accumulate money, and they are insatiable. In the name of Wu Zetian, the minions of Fengchen Mansion poured out, extorting and extorting everything, and the cruelty of the methods was even more cruel than that of the cool officials.
For a time, God talked about 'two sheets' and changed color, and everyone became cautious in their words and deeds.
Subsequently, Wu Zetian issued a second decree, summoning Bazhou Assassin Shi Mingyan to return to Luoyang and serve as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
In just a few days, there were frequent personnel changes in the court.
Some courtiers who were still pushing cups and changing lamps yesterday and talking and laughing were distributed overnight, and those who were imprisoned were imprisoned...... It is amazing that things are not human.
Yao Chong, the squire of the Fengge, was forced to resign, Zhang Khan Zhi was appointed as the waiter of Luantai, and Zhang Yue was appointed as the waiter of the Fengge.
At the same time, the former Lanzhou Assassin was dismissed on the spot and escorted back to Shendu, and the governor Shi Wei Yuanzhong temporarily took the post of Lanzhou Assassin to thoroughly investigate the Jincheng case. In this series of personnel changes, some people noticed that a man named Lu Chengzhi was sent to Jincheng to temporarily take the post of Jincheng County Commander. At the same time, there was also last year's Wujin servant Gu Yi Li. Wu Zetianxia ordered the new Lishui Army to be stationed in Jinchengguan. And Fugu Yili is the military envoy of the Lishui army.
Fugu Yili, everyone is still familiar with it, it is the Jinwei Mountain Fugu tribe among the nine surnamed Tiele, who sent hostages to Luoyang.
Last year, he played in Enko and won the top three.
It's just that among the top three, Yang Shouwen, the martial champion, is now a monk, and another martial artist, Hua Wu Chongxun, returned to Luoyang after training outside for half a year, and is now the general of the left guard. In contrast, Wu Bangyan's Fugu Yili seemed obscure and no one paid attention to it. But this is Luoyang, as long as you have a heart, you can find out, Fugu Yili and Yang Shouwen have a lot of friendship.
Subsequently, Lu Chengzhi's identity was also revealed, and he was actually the secretary of Yang Chenglie's side.
As everyone knows, Wu Zetian attaches great importance to the Yang family's father and son. But he didn't expect that he would look at the father and son like this.
It's just a matter of Fugu Yi Li, after all, he is a martial artist, and it is reasonable.
But what is Lu Chengzhi? is just a secretary and staff member in front of Yang Chenglie, and now he has become a county parent official.
This is undoubtedly a major discovery for those who are depressed......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Shendu, the wind and clouds are changing.
Yang Shouwen didn't know that because of his affairs, Luoyang had already fallen out.
In fact, even if he knew, he might not have taken it to heart. Let him flood the sky, what does it matter to him?
Still, he could feel some of the tension.
Especially when he arrived in Huayin County, he met Zhang Jiuling and Yang Congyi, who were ordered by Yang Chenglie to lead their troops to meet Yang Shouwen.
When Fu Mengling noticed this, he said goodbye to Yang Shouwen.
He returned to Luoyang mainly to protect Yang Shouwen this time, and since Luoyang sent people to respond, his task was completed. Yang Shouwen also expressed his gratitude and asked Fu Meng Lingcha to thank Fu Meng Lingqing on his behalf. After all, Fu Meng Lingqing did not have the responsibility of sending troops to protect him, but he took the initiative to send his son over, and it was a fate after all.
"Jiurou, are you okay at home?"
For a while, I haven't seen Zhang Jiuling for more than half a year, and Yang Shouwen was also very happy when he saw this future famous minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Jiuling is a cousin, but familiar people still like to call him Jiulang.
Listening to Yang Shouwen's question, he suddenly smiled bitterly.
"What else, smoky miasma.
Although Qingzhi is not in Luoyang, you have turned Luoyang upside down. This case in Jincheng made His Majesty furious, and he ordered a thorough investigation...... However, in my opinion, this matter is not clear, or no one dares to find out. ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Jiuling lowered his voice and said, "The implication is too deep!" ”
He didn't explain what he said, and Yang Shouwen didn't ask any further. However, they all knew very well in their hearts what the final result would be.
"By the way, there's one more thing to congratulate you."
"What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, Hongnong Yang sent people to Luoyang to discuss with Yang Gong about returning to the sect.
Listening to Yang Gong's meaning, it has been discussed almost too much, and it is estimated that around Qingming next year, you will be able to officially return to Hongnong Yang. ”
Mingxiu listened to it, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said hello.
But Yang Shouwen didn't know where the joy came from, and his face was calm.
For Hongnong Yang, he has no sense of belonging. To be honest, his father and son have been able to get to this day, and it has nothing to do with the Hongnong Yang family. Can I return to my sect? It doesn't matter to him. It's just that this is the last wish of his grandfather Yang Dafang.
If you can return to the sect, it will be good, and you will be able to rely on it in the future; If he can't return to the sect, he doesn't care, it's just a background.
"In that case, let's rest for the night and leave early tomorrow."
As soon as Yang Shouwen changed his words, he brought the topic over.
He was indeed a little homesick, missing his parents, thinking of Taohuayu, and someone on Cuiyun Mountain......
It's just that, in response to that sentence, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. The more Yang Shouwen is like an arrow, the more unbeautiful this God is. That night, a heavy snowfall suddenly came. According to Zhang Jiuling, this snow is the biggest since the beginning of winter this year. When I woke up in the morning, I saw the cold wind howling, and the wind swept the snowflakes with goose feathers and fell, and the heavens and the earth became chaotic.
As far as the eye can see, it is white.
Yang Shouwen came down from the steps and found that the snow had lost his calves.
With such a heavy snowfall, there is definitely no way to get on the road. Even if you force yourself on the road, you probably won't be able to walk too far!
In desperation, they had no choice but to settle down at Luqiaoyi and wait for the wind and snow to stop.
This snowfall is claimed to be the heaviest since the beginning of winter in the first year of Jiushi, and it lasted for three days.
For three days, the snow was suddenly heavy and small, but it continued one after another. Sometimes, it looks as if he has stopped in the early morning, but when he is ready to set off, the wind and snow suddenly come, so that Yang Shouwen has to change his itinerary.
Fortunately, Yang Shouwen has a soft temperament, and Mingxiu is a guy who is at ease with what he encounters. In addition, there is rarely such a heavy snow in Jiangnan, so Mingxiu seemed a little excited, so he bought wine and dragged Yang Shouwen and Zhang Jiuling to drink and enjoy the snow all day long.
In this regard, Yang Shouwen also felt helpless......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The heavy snow has finally stopped.
The scorching sun swept away the haze of the past few days, which made people feel refreshed.
Yang Shouwen and his entourage finally set off again and embarked on the return journey to Luoyang. In fact, Luqiaoyi is not too far from Luoyang, and if it is under normal circumstances, it may not take a day to arrive. But now, because of this heavy snowfall, Yang Shouwen and the others traveled very slowly, and they walked for two days before they crossed Cijian and arrived at Qianjin Castle.
After the snow, Fang Qing.
The majestic Luoyang City is even more majestic and magnificent in a white snowy scene.
Yang Shouwen reined in his horse, looked at the outline of the city, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I'm back!" ”
Above the empty field, Yang Shouwen's voice echoed: It's back, it's back...... Although it was only half a year, for Yang Shouwen, when he came to Luoyang City again this time, his feelings were completely different. Last year, he returned from Cheung Chau, and he was just a recruiter. And now, he knows that in this Luoyang City, in addition to his parents and brothers, there is also a person who cares about him.
The birth and death of more than half a year have made Yang Shouwen nervous all the time.
Now, when he arrived in Luoyang City, he suddenly relaxed, and the fatigue of running all the way seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go, let's go into town."
Yang Shouwen spoke, urging the horse forward.
The pedestrians on the road gradually increased and became lively.
Listening to the familiar official words and seeing the prosperous scene, Yang Shouwen's words gradually became more......
He sometimes laughed with Zhang Jiuling, sometimes joked with Mingxiu, and before everyone knew it, they came to the outside of Luoyang City.
Since there is no city gate in the west of Luoyang City, Yang Shouwen and others must go around to the north gate if they want to enter the city.
There are three north gates in Luoyang, among which the Longguang Gate connects the round wall city and leads directly to the imperial city, so it has been closed for many years; The Hui'an Gate was not opened due to heavy snowfall. In order to enter the city, they had to go through the Anxi Gate. It's just that there was already a long queue of people outside the Anxi Gate, and when Yang Shouwen and the others arrived, they couldn't see the end of the line.
"What's going on?"
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Zhang Jiuling smiled bitterly: "It's not because of that incident, now Luoyang City is very strict in and out, so it has become like this." ”
Along the way, Zhang Jiuling explained the situation in Luoyang to Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen knew that Luoyang's inventory was very strict now, but he didn't expect it to be so strict.
"Look at it like this, Your Majesty is really angry."
"It's not Your Majesty's reason, but ......"
Zhang Jiuling was explaining to Yang Shouwen when he suddenly heard a cry in front of him.
A convoy of men dressed in black and ostentatious stopped a convoy as if to force a search. If it was just a search, these people turned the goods on the car into a mess, and even boarded the car and asked the women in the car to get out of the car.
A woman loudly reprimanded the men in black, but when she saw the man in black who was the leader, she slapped the woman to the ground.
"You are a slut, and you dare to point fingers in front of your grandfather?"
As he spoke, he raised his foot and was about to kick the woman, not wanting a little girl to run out of the car, he grabbed his leg and cried, "Don't hit my aunt." ”
"Little slut, look for death!"
The man in black almost fell.
The companion on the side laughed loudly, as if to say that he had lost the face of Fengchen Mansion.
The man in black was furious, reached out and grabbed the little girl's hair, raised his hand and slapped it, causing the little girl to fall to the ground with a stumble, and half of her face suddenly swollen. However, he still seems to refuse to give up, and he will beat him up.
Seeing this situation, the woman who was knocked down by him before hurriedly rushed over, protected the girl, and apologized again and again.
The man in black didn't want to stop, and shouted: "I now suspect that you and the others are colluding with the thieves, come and take them all down for me." ”
The black-clothed men behind him shouted in unison, and they were about to rush up.
At this moment, a bowstring trembled, and a sharp arrow broke through the air and sank into the snow.
The arrow feathers shook, followed by a cold voice, "When you dare to cross this arrow, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
The man in black was startled and hurriedly turned his head to look.
I saw a team of cavalry with bright armor and bright armor, surrounded by several monks and immediately in the middle of the avenue.
The monk at the head, dressed in a black mink robe and armed with a bow and arrow, was looking at them coldly.
"We belong to Fengchen Mansion, and we are ordered by Zhang Fengchen to arrest the thief, and you will make a mistake when you wait."
The man in black saw that the monk was extraordinary, so he shouted loudly. They have been rampant in Luoyang these days, although they are arrogant and domineering, they also have eyes. Therefore, he hurriedly revealed his identity, wanting to scare the monk away. After all, this trick is very useful. Now in this Luoyang City, the two are arrogant, who dares not to sell the face of Fengchen Mansion.
When the monk heard this, he sneered.
"Zhang Fengchen?
I've only heard of Feng Chenwei, but I don't know what Zhang Fengchen is. As for the Fengchen Mansion, it's just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, and they dare to be arrogant here? I repeat, whoever dares to cross the arrow, do not blame my men for being ruthless. ”
Who is this guy? Arrogant?
Seeing this, the minions of Fengchen Mansion were also furious.
One of the men in black said even more unbelievingly: "Lao Tzu just wants to pass, what can you do with me?" ”
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped over the arrow.
It was too late, but it was too soon, and the monk on the horse suddenly raised his hand. A sharp arrow shot out of the string, as fast as lightning, and poofed right above the face door of the man in black. The man in black still had an incredible expression on his face, and he fell to the ground.
In an instant, on the official road outside the great Anxi Gate, there was silence.
The monk looked at the black-clothed people and shouted, "Your Majesty asked Zhang Yizhi to track down the accomplices of the Jincheng case, but he didn't let you harass the common people here. The whole world is all His Majesty's people, but you are a fox and a tiger, ruining Your Majesty's reputation, what is the difference between you and a thief? ”
His eyes widened with rage, and he glared at the man in black.
"I am Yang Shouwen, others are afraid of him Zhang Yizhi's brother, but I am not afraid!
In the past, there was an elder Di Guo in the court who could deter those ghosts and ghosts, but now that the old man is gone, I dare not compare myself with the old man, but I also want to maintain His Majesty's reputation. A group of things that don't know whether they are dead or alive, do they really think that they can do whatever they want with Zhang Yizhi's brothers?
If the Manchu civil and military forces dare not take care of it, then I will take care of it......
Someone, take down all these traitors who have ruined Your Majesty's reputation, and whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot. ”
Mingxiu was behind Yang Shouwen and showed a bright smile.
And Zhang Jiuling was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something, and couldn't help nodding lightly.
As for Feng Changqing and others, although they were a little confused, they also knew that Yang Shouwen would not be untargeted. With his order, the cavalry behind him shouted in unison, and the horse rushed towards the man in black. In this matter, those ordinary people had already hid to the side, looking at the scene in front of them excitedly. The man in black messed up, drew his sword one after another, and pretended.
"Qingzhi, be merciful."
A fast horse galloped from the city, and the people on the horse shouted loudly from afar.
Yang Shouwen didn't hear it, and shouted: "I said it, whoever dares to resist will be killed!" (To be continued.) )
