Chapter Seventy-Three: The Gentleman Dies, Goes to Yanjing with a Sword (7)

During this period, Xu Jie and other officials withdrew from the Huangji Gate one after another, but they did not leave, but waited outside the end gate of the main room.

After half a pillar of incense, I saw that Yang Jisheng was announced to be taken to the Dongchang prison, Xu Jie's heart was shocked, this fell into the hands of Yan Dang, I was afraid that there was no way to live, but I didn't know what Xia Mu was doing, so he hurriedly looked into the Huangji Gate, and saw a young official in a six-grade official uniform walking through the end gate alone and entering the empty square.

"Ying Long, what's wrong?" Xu Jie looked at Zou Yinglong, a returning student, and hurriedly asked.

Zou Yinglong is a scholar in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, and he also entrusted the blessing of his teacher Xu Jie, and made an impeachment imperial history under the hands of Lin Run, the imperial historian of the Inspectorate.

Zou Yinglong saw the teacher's question, and hurriedly replied: "The people from Dongchang have sealed the Huangji Gate, I can't see Ning Yuanbo's figure, but Princess An Ning was escorted into the palace." ”

Xu Jie nodded, his heart went up and down, he glanced at Zhang Juzheng and the others, and had to sigh: "Wait!" ”

But it was said that it was inside the Emperor's Gate.

After the cane, in order to prevent a riot at the scene, the criminal officer immediately ordered the dismissal, and after all the officials dispersed, Chen Hong asked Dongchang Fanzi to drag Yang Jisheng, who was like a bloody man on the ground, out and put him in the Dongchang prison, Zhu Xizhong saw the emperor's order, not to let Jinyiwei interfere, and he could only watch Yang Jisheng enter the tiger's mouth.

The Dongchang fan got the order, and immediately dragged the white cloth on the felt, and dragged Yang Jisheng towards the end door, leaving a red blood stain on the square.

Fighting from dawn, Yang Jisheng's son Yang Yingqing got the letter and ran to wait outside the end door, and now when he saw his father being dragged out, his skin and flesh were completely gone, and he immediately cried bitterly.

Outside Duanmen, in addition to family members, there are also many officials in the same department who have friendships with Yang Jisheng on weekdays, and Wang Shizhen is also among them.

That Wang Shizhen saw that Yang Jisheng was about to die, so Lang Zhong, who was busy inviting him to come for treatment, insisted on giving Dongchang Fanzi 200 taels of silver, so that he could be rescued. In the midst of an earth-shattering cry, Lang Zhong began to hurriedly treat Yang Jisheng's wounds.

"Why don't you see Uncle Ningyuan?" A group of important ministers of the Xu Party are like ants on a hot pot, seeing that Yang Jisheng has come out, why don't they see Xia Mu!

When he was anxious, Luo Kedi and Dao Meteor and other brocade guards rushed out with Xia Mu, who was covered in blood, and cried Lang Zhong while running.

When Xu Jie, who was in the crowd, heard this, he hurriedly asked Lang Zhong, who had been prepared a long time ago, to go and heal Xia Mu.

I saw that although Xia Mu was unconscious at the moment, his mouth was all wide open, because the wooden stick he was "biting" in his mouth was taken down, and his jaw bone would not move in the coma, so he couldn't close it.

This pours to facilitate the treatment, and the Langzhong soaked the prepared snake gall in a small cup of rice wine and poured it into their mouths. There has always been a saying among the folk that snake gall can make people return to yang: swallow the snake gallbladder and then bandage them.

The torture rod hit the lower body, the buttocks and legs were broken, and the white bones were almost revealed. This tragic injury made many of the palace maids present faint in fright.

Lang Zhong looked at this wound, his hands were shaking, and he hurriedly applied a large amount of gold gun medicine to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Duanmen, Yang Jisheng was taken to the Dongchang prison, and Xia Mu heard that he was reinstated by the official, but he was beaten and sent back to the mansion.

In order to rescue Yang Jisheng, Xu Jie hurriedly took Gao Gong to Fusi in Beizhen to find Zhu Xizhong, hoping that things would turn around.

Xia Mu was sent back to his house by Luo Kedi to recuperate. It's just that when I went back to the house, I saw that the Xia Mansion was turned upside down, but fortunately, with Ah Sang and Xu Xiyi in charge, there was no big mess.

Ah Sang first cleaned Xia Mu's body like tears, and then handed it over to Xu Xiyi to help him into the warm pavilion to recuperate, Xu Xiyi served him to sleep on the side, covered the futon, and observed it for a while, and saw that there was no big problem, so he straightened his waist, moved the teacup to Xia Mu's reach, and then led Ah Sang to retreat quietly.

Xia Mu didn't die in this catastrophe and picked up a life, but it was not a taste in his heart, and he knew that most of it was Princess Anning's intercession.

At this moment, I didn't want to stay still while lying on the bed, but I felt tired in my heart, but my mind was very clear, and I thought gloomily about the scene experienced by Huangjimen, and once again thought of Yang Jisheng being taken to Dongchang Prison, I thought that this matter must be Yan Shifan and Chen Hong's embarrassment, Chen Hong is really not easy to mess with, he relies on his own favor, has always been arrogant and arrogant, corrupt and perverted the law, and many ministers of the DPRK and China have to rely on his snort. In terms of prestige, he is still above Zhu Xizhong, a few years ago Lu Bing was alive, one of the three dukes, the mighty imperial city, Chen Hongba stammered, and did not dare to go against Jinyiwei, but Lu Bing died of illness in Datong, and this Chen Hong was arrogant.

A few days ago, because of the warehousing slave case, he had an unhappy quarrel with Dongchang, if Chen Hong held a grudge because of this and intended to embarrass Yang Jisheng, then Yang Jisheng's days in Dongchang would be very sad, and there would be unforeseen disasters if he didn't get it right.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. I was thinking about how to get rid of this catastrophe and rescue Yang Jisheng, but I vaguely felt that I was writing with Yang Jisheng, and it seemed that I had fallen into Yan Song's trap, and I was a little reckless.

Xia Mu fell into deep thought as he thought about it, and the room was silent for a moment, so quiet that there was not even a sound.

I saw that although he closed his eyes, he clearly felt how the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei on the window hung motionlessly, and how the faint curtain shadow was cast on the red sandalwood Ganoderma lucidum pattern painting in front of the window. On that case was a painting that he had not yet finished - "The Great Army Goes to Goryeo".

Not long after, Xu Jie came back from Beizhen Fusi, magical and depressed, Zhu Xizhong was reluctant to meddle in this matter, Yang Jisheng was afraid that there was no help, and remembered Xia Mu's injury, so he came to the house to take a look.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Xia Mu did not have the slightest blood on his face, and he was opening his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Guangzhong is usually far-sighted, how can he be reckless today!" ”

Xia Mu looked at the teacher, and a far-fetched smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What the teacher originally said was that it was just a life, but he could drink and study, and he would be satisfied when he died." Perched on the emperor all day long, running to drill camps, working hard, why bother! Even if we scholars study all their lives and have thousands of volumes in their chests, in the end they are still not free from loess and white bones, and they will perish with the grass and trees! There are also a few people like Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi advocated: absolute sainthood and abandonment of wisdom, chaos and ignorance, and the unity of things and me! It's useless to be a scholar! Da Ming is like this, what role can these literati do in addition to being beaten on books! ”

Thinking about it like this, Xu Jie's heart to compete in the past few days has suddenly decreased, and it seems that there is nothing worth thinking about whether his plot is successful or not this time. Yes, everything is illusory, what wealth and glory, and the shadow of a wife and son, are nothing more than a flash in the pan, and they become empty in the blink of an eye! Life is only a hundred years, you really don't have to worry about it, everything is natural!

This is Yang Jisheng's life, sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to ask for it.

Thinking about it, Xu Jie sighed: "Jiaoshan's life is hard, it's because I, the teacher, didn't teach it well!" ”

"Why should the teacher be like this, I didn't say that I wouldn't rescue Jiaoshan" Xia Mu saw that Xu Jie was frustrated, and he wanted to get up in a panic.

"In the light, you still have to plan a lot about this matter, you can't let Yan Song lead the disaster to the second king!" Xu Jie only left a word, and then turned around and left.

Xia Mu's sharp gaze penetrated Xu Jie's back, but his expression sank.

Luo Kedi sent Xu Jie, hurriedly came to look at Xia Mu, and asked with a sad face: "Even Xu Ge Lao can't do anything, it seems that Lord Yang is more than lucky!" ”

Xia Mu smiled coldly when he heard this: "You are still too young to understand the Tao here, have you ever played chess?" ”

"I have played once or twice with the brothers in the yamen on weekdays, but my hands are smelly and I lose money quickly, so I don't play."

"In chess, you can see the master after two moves, and you can be called a master if you see more than three moves, and in this game, Yan Shifan, I, and Yang Jisheng are all pawns, and only Xu Jie, who can be called a master behind this, not only calculated Yan Shifan's attempt, but also calculated my intended goal, not so much that I played a bitter meat play, it is better to say that I was used as a gun to shoot Yan Shifan."

Luo Kedi was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xia Mu with a uncertain expression: "You mean, Xu Jie already knew that Yan Shifan was going to attack King Yu?" And know that you will definitely follow Yang Jisheng to the fold, so you don't move? ”

"When Yang Jisheng's excerpt arrived in the cabinet, Xu Jie was afraid that he had already understood one step ahead of the Yan family's father and son, but this old fox was unwilling to interfere and waded through troubled waters! But I can't ignore it, so I can only throw this mess at me, a student! ”

"That'...... Why is the eldest brother planning to save Lord Yang? ”

"Now that this move has reached such a field, Jiaoshan's life must be saved, but the most critical person among them is Chen Hong. The fate of Yang Jisheng and King Yu is in the hands of that eunuch. Now that Yang Jisheng is locked up in the Dongchang prison, if Chen Hong is a little tired, let people do something in the Dongchang prison, make a false confession, and then send a Dongchang fan to frame Yuwang in the middle of the night, it is a simple thing. Chen Hong is still an ally of the Yan Party, no matter what, he has no reason to refuse Yan Shifan, if so, King Yu and Yang Jisheng have no possibility of survival! ”

Xia Mu lay on the bed, the pain in his buttocks made his aching head break out in a cold sweat.

When Luo Kedi heard this, he finished his secret words, and hurriedly said: "Chen Hong is Yan Shifan's ally, so isn't Lord Yang certain to die." ”

"Not necessarily!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Mu's mouth, according to his judgment of Chen Hong, this person was still a person with a conscience, and more importantly, he had no other way. In the face of an old man like Chen Hong, being polite or talking about friendship is tantamount to humiliating himself, and he can only talk to him straight to the point, after all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests!

Late at night, Xia Mu wrote a note and asked Luo Kedi to send it to Chen Hong's mansion in person, and he didn't have to wait for a reply, after the note was delivered, he immediately retreated.

Luo Kedi looked at the note in his hand, and he didn't know why, there were only four words on it: "Hattori Heiji!" ”

Xia Mu was sure that as long as Chen Hong saw this name, half of his life would be gone. The last time the case of warehousing Japanese slaves seemed to be anticlimactic, Yan Shifan secretly poisoned those ninjas, but according to Xia Mu's speculation, the day after the incident, Chen Hong personally came to the door to ask for someone, and there must be a cat in it, either Chen Hong was involved, or his family was involved, so he had to be so anxious that those ninjas spit out something that implicated him. So during the day, he asked Yang Wan to investigate Chen Hong, and really found out that he had a nephew who was addicted to gambling and had something to do with the Japanese slaves.

Although it doesn't have much to do with it, but in this world, there is no wind and no waves, even if it doesn't matter, Xia Mu can let him have a relationship in front of the emperor, and it is impossible for the veteran Chen Hong not to know this!
