Chapter 32: The Murder Knife Falls into the Brocade Robe (2)
Bidding farewell to Yang Wan and the two, Hu Zongxian spat at the two fiercely, he is now a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and Long You is talking about being played by shrimp.
When he returned to the study, he saw the two masters who had followed him for many years, Hu Zongxian took out two silver tickets from his sleeve, handed one in his hand, and said: "This is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, which can be cashed back in Guangzhou. β
The two have followed Hu Zongxian for many years, to say that there is no emotion is fake, at this moment looking at the silver ticket in his hand, there is a little bit of a good bow hidden, and the feeling of being a lackey cooking, all feel worthless for Hu Zongxian: "Governor you kill all the widows, get rid of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, the emperor treats you like this, I am so cold!" β
Hu Zongxian's face in his fifties and full of vicissitudes of life was full of sighs: "Loyal to the country, long live the fame, I am like a floating cloud, you go well!" β
To say that Hu Zongxian is willing, it is impossible!
He went from a small soldier in Huizhou, to a commander in Datong, and then from Datong to Zhejiang, from a small imperial history to the governor of several southeastern provinces.
In the past 20 years, he has come from the wind and waves, and he has never seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and he believes that Xu Wei will have a way.
And since receiving the order from Gyeonggi, Xu Wei has become uneasy.
This time is not as good as before, the fall of Zhao Wenhua and the defeat of the Yan Party all illustrate a problem, Yan Songshu has made a big move, and the emperor is already dissatisfied with him, otherwise for the sake of Yan Song's exclusive favor of Long Yan for more than 20 years, the emperor will definitely not help Xu Jie suppress Yan Song.
And in this period of changing the world, Hu Zongxian is in an embarrassing position.
Strictly speaking, his backstage is not Yan Song, but Zhao Wenhua. But now that Zhao Wenhua is dead, Yan Dang is afraid that he will not reach out to save him, and in the eyes of outsiders, he will not see it that way, outsiders already think that Hu Zongxian is Yan Dang, and they will spare no effort to kill Hu Zongxian!
After Xu Wei received the news, he picked a fast horse and hurried to arrive at the Governor's Mansion before Hu Zongxian went to Beijing tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Capital.
In front of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, all the large and small brocade guards stood in front of the palace and waited for the newly appointed envoy Xia Mu.
Among these people, only Xue Hua was the most shocked, half a month ago, Xia Mu was still a small hundred households, and half a month later, he still became one of the pacification envoys of the Left Army Governor's Mansion.
And Yang Wan also rose and was promoted to the commander of the fourth grade.
At this time, Xia Mu took Luo Kedi to see the people in front of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army from a distance, and recalled in his heart that he went to the Governor's Mansion half a month ago to record, and no one paid attention to it, but now it is indeed a crowd, it is really different.
Xue Hua saw Xia Mu early, hurriedly parted the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and knelt down on one knee: "Xue Cheng, the tenth thousand households of the subordinate Jinyi Guard, lead a group of brothers to welcome the lord to take office." β
Xia Mu hurriedly helped Xue Hua up: "Brother Xue, this is polite to me, isn't it." β
Saying that, Xia Mu swept the brocade guards behind him, but he couldn't see Yan Shaoting, and couldn't help asking: "Where did Yan Shaoting go to the ninth thousand households, why didn't he come here." β
"This?" Xue Hua's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Xia Mu, whose face was not very good-looking, and knew that these two had Liang Zi from the beginning, so he whispered, "My lord, Yan Shaoting is the grandson of Yan Ge Lao, do you think it is more accommodating?" β
"What is Yan Ge Lao!" Xia Mu didn't shy away from it at all, he and Yan Song are feuds, everyone knows that he just wants to blatantly oppose Yan, "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to assist Li Mo in investigating Zhao Wenhua's case, and all the Jinyi guards arrived, but he Yan Shaoting couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it!" β
Xue Hua saw that Xia Mu brought out the Son of Heaven, he didn't do anything to get involved here, they were all immortals fighting, and it was only himself who mortals suffered.
Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, and said truthfully: "Yan Qianhu followed a few followers and went to the Beidou Tower to eat!" β
"Beidou Tower?" Xia Mu smiled coldly, "It's so leisurely, let's go to the Beidou Tower to greet Yan Shaoting!" β
As he spoke, he took the lead, and the brocade guards behind him looked at each other, so they had to follow in steps.
Xue Hua saw that the matter was getting bigger, so he hurriedly asked someone to inform Liu Tongzhi.
Jin Yiwei commanded Tongzhi is the third product, set as the left and right two, Liu Fu is in his fifties this year, and has been sitting on the Tongzhi seat for more than 20 years, and he can return to his hometown at the moment.
But who knew that there was a big man coming, Yan Shaoting.
He also knew that Yan Shaoting was full of wine and gambling, and he didn't order it on time, but Lao Tzu was Yan Shifan, and Lao Tzu was Yan Song, he couldn't afford to provoke and hide?
But who knows how long it has been, there is another protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven above, although he is only a pacification envoy, but he is a ruthless person who makes Zhao Wenhua die without a place to be buried, and he is the emperor's person, who dares to offend.
Didn't you see this? The emperor asked the family to check the accounts, and Zhu Xizhong hid in Nanjing, just to avoid mixing.
And he, a commander and acquaintance, had no choice but to pretend to be a dead tiger, turn a blind eye to one eye, and only hope that these two masters would not come out of a moth.
Who would have thought that after only a while, Jin Yiwei came to report that Xia Mu went to Yan Shaoting for trouble!
As soon as Liu Fu heard that he had fallen from his seat, he hurriedly wrapped the jade belt, and ran out without caring about putting on his shoes.
Behind him, the brocade guard hurriedly carried Tongzhi's boots and followed.
Along the way, Xia Mu had already decided to give Yan Shaoting a good look, and when he saw that he was about to reach the Beidou Tower, he saw Yan Shaoting and the three dogs, eating and drinking enough, coming out of the restaurant, but the restaurant was full of chickens and dogs, and there was chaos.
Just when Xia Mu was about to go to find out what was going on, Yan Shaoting walked straight as if he hadn't seen Xia Mu.
Xia Mu's face sank, and he shouted at Yan Shaoting: "Yan Shaoting, you didn't even pay a visit when you saw this official!" β
Yan Shaoting turned around at this time, squinted at Xia Mu, thought of this person, and couldn't help laughing: "Salted fish turned over, after all, it is still a salted fish, you dare to provoke Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I let my grandfather kill you!" β
At this moment, a person rushed out of the street, flashed the sentry, rushed to Xia Mu, knelt down on the street, and shouted loudly:
"Please make the decisions for the small people."
said that it was too late, it was fast, and I saw a few brocade guards rush forward, pick up the kneeling man and drag him to the side.
"Stop," Xia Mu drank categorically, Jinyiwei let go, and the little man rushed over and knelt down again, only to see that his face was covered with blood, and he was obviously beaten violently.
Xia Mu glanced at the three doglegs who followed Yan Shaoting, and when he saw that they didn't like it, his heart moved, and he asked the restaurant, "What's the matter with you?" β
The shopkeeper seemed to be from Yunnan, and Xia Mu didn't understand a word. Hurriedly found a local school translator from Jinyiwei, and then understood the meaning: This little people's name is Sun Da Fat, and he is the shopkeeper of this Beidoulou, Yan Shaoting often takes some Jinyiwei to his store to eat white food, and his small business really can't cope with it. This morning, Yan Shaoting brought three brocade guards into the store for a full meal, and when he left, Sun Dapang asked them to pay the bill, but they not only did not give him money, but beat him up and smashed the things in the store. Sun Da Fat was angry, so he dared to block the street and complain.
Since Lu Bing, due to lax military discipline, harassment of the people has occurred repeatedly, and the phenomenon of eating and drinking for nothing, robbing and stealing has become commonplace. As the saying goes, the soldiers and bandits are a family, and the common people can't afford to provoke them, so the small businessmen have to swallow their anger and close their stores. Therefore, the people hated Jinyiwei more than the bandits.
When Xia Mu first arrived in the capital, he encountered this kind of disturbance incident the most. He had decided to immediately rectify military affairs and enforce strict discipline as soon as he took office, but he didn't expect that he would encounter a pillow when he was drowsy, and he made a complaint against Sun Da Fat in blocking the street.
He immediately glanced at Yan Shaoting, whose face was pale, and stood still on the street, and asked Sun Dapang: "Do you still recognize the four who ate white food in the morning?" β
"Yes." Sun Dapang replied while still kneeling on the ground.
"Get up and go and get those men. Roke, take a team of people with him. β
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Luo Kedi came out of the line with a horizontal sword, and was about to lead Jinyi Wei to arrest people with Sun Da Fat, but Sun Da Pang still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, and said in his mouth: "My lord, there is no need to mobilize the people, they are right in front of you." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Yan Shaoting and the three people behind him.
"Come here." Xia Muxian shouted at a dogleg behind Yan Shaoting.
The brocade guard relied on Yan Shaoting to support him, and he had no fear, lost the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and came over and knelt next to Sun Dapang.
Xia Mu looked at this brocade guard, and saw that he was as strong as an ox, and he was fierce, although he faced many commanders, there was no fear in his eyes.
"What a brocade guard!" Xia Mu's face was as cold as frost, and he shouted, "What a bold man!" Dare to eat people's white food. β
"I didn't eat it." The brocade-clothed guard replied with a stiff neck.
"Sun Dapang, you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
"The little one won't admit his mistake, this man is nicknamed the cow madman, and he took the lead in smashing my shop."
Sun Dapang is a clever person, and when he saw that this new adult had the intention of supporting him, he bit him to death. The cow madman knelt aside, and immediately stretched out his big fist in the vinegar bowl, shook it in front of Sun Dapang's eyes, and said, "You dare to slander good people, be careful, I will open a soy sauce shop in your face." β
"Bold dog, no matter how presumptuous you are, be careful that I skin you!" Xia Mu scolded angrily, and the cow madman restrained a little.
Seeing Yan Shaoting looking at it coldly, Xia Mu's heart became colder and colder, and he said to Sun Da Fat: "You said that he ate your wine and meat for nothing, but there are witnesses?" β
"Yes."
Sun Dapang pointed to a few, some were soldiers, and some were neighbors. But some of them did not come forward to testify out of favoritism, and some of them were afraid of reprisals.
The cow madman was immediately proud, kneeling there and grinning his teeth: "My lord, you see, the villain is wronged!" β
Xia Mu was suddenly furious, and just as he was about to get angry, Liu Fu, the commander in the distance, hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "What are you doing?" It's all the opposite, and if you don't go back to the Governor's Mansion, what are you doing here! β
Yan Shaoting smiled and rarely arched his hand towards Liu Fu.
Liu Fu immediately smiled.
Xia Mu saw that he knew this, and the anger in his eyes rose, knowing that Liu Fu was obviously urinating in a pot with Yan Shaoting, and seeing that Yan Shaoting was leaving, he hurriedly shouted: "Where is Luo Ke's enemy!" β
"The subordinates are here!" Luo Ke's enemy came out of the line with a horizontal sword, glaring at the brocade guards.
"Today, the official decided the case, no one wants to leave, and those who want to leave will be killed immediately for the crime of disturbing public office!" Xia Mu didn't give Liu Fu any face, cut his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes wide, and shouted, "Come on, move a few chairs, today, I will try this case clearly on this street." β
Liu Fu's face immediately sank, he stood aside with a dark face, and said coldly: "Lord Xia, this official is your boss, do you dare to make a mistake!" β
Xia Mu sat down on the chair, and Liu Fu did not bird birds, he arched his hand towards the palace in the rear, and shouted: "This official is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven appointed by the saint, and all affairs go directly to the heavens, and only under the jurisdiction of the saint, not to mention that you have a little acquaintance, even if the prince of Chengguo is here, the official will also try the case!" β
"You-!" Liu Fu was so angry that his hands trembled.
