Chapter 279: Blocking the Way
Su Xin and Su Lan happily served Dou Zhao to rest, and they hugged the bed quilt and rested on the big kang near the window.
Song Mo galloped all the way to the British Mansion.
The crisp sound of horses' hooves not only broke the quiet of the early morning in Kyoto, but also made the princes and ministers of the previous dynasty pay attention to what happened.
After a while, news of the fire and thieves in the British government spread throughout Kyoto.
"Good and decent, where did the thief come from?" Liang Jifen, the head assistant of the cabinet who was waiting for the early dynasty in the duty room, frowned and said, "After these feats, they don't learn or talk about it, and they only know how to fly eagles and horses, fight cocks and walk dogs, and the inner city of Kyoto, they dare to gallop on horses, what if they hit someone?" β
He came from a poor background and didn't look down on those second ancestors.
Yao Shizhong, who is known as "Ji Xiang", is just the opposite of Liang Jifen, he is not only from a famous family, but also his wife and mother are famous families who have been eunuchs for generations, and he doesn't like those children of poor families who claim to be "arrogant". He always felt that Liang Jifen couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, so he smiled and said to He Wendao, who was also from the same family: "Wen Daogong still raises grasshoppers now?" I got an ou a few days ago, like gold and iron, I don't know when, the gnats are kept in it, the cry is extremely loud, like gold and stone hitting each other, and like waves crashing on the water's edge, it is very rare. If Wen Daogong is free one day, help me appreciate it? β
He Wendao is a person who has become a fine person, where does he not know that Yao Zhong was in Hanqi Liang Jifen. It's just that although Liang Jifen is the first assistant, he is stubborn and self-serving, he doesn't know how to make a roundabout, he has more than a straight line, he is not mellow enough, he has no courage, he only knows that he has taken the emperor to suppress people, not to mention that the scheming Yao Shizhong and the eight-sided Dai Jian did not take him seriously, even He Wendao did not serve him very well. So much so that the cabinet is still scattered to this day, unlike when Zeng Yifen was the first assistant, no one dared to argue; is not like when Ye Shipei was the first assistant, he was sophisticated and sleek, and he was left and right. He Wendao didn't look down on him very much, and Yao Zhongshi was domineering, He Wendao didn't want to offend Yao Zhongshi, so he responded with a smile, "Okay". Said: "Then next time you will take a break, right?" Just nothing. β
Yao Zhongshi asked He Yulai: "...... This year's township test is good, but will it not end next year's spring? β
He Yu was lifted in August.
Speaking of this young son, He Wendao's demeanor softened a lot.
He gathered his chest-length beard and said with a smile: "Let's study for a few more years!" This kid is a bit wild. β
"Bright kids are wild. Unlike some people, who only know how to blindly read, and when they really enter the office, they are not divided into five rice and do not understand the world...... Today's science field is really worrying! β
Liang Jifen's face was a little unsightly.
Dai Jian, who was tall and muscular, and Dou Shishu, who was handsome and elegant, walked in.
ββ¦β¦ Someone has been sent to the British government to ask. "Dou Shishu, who is usually gentle and elegant, doesn't look good at this time, "This time it's a thief twice." I don't know if it's a thief or a human being? I can only wait for the Ya to see it in person. β
He knew that Dai Jian and Wang Yuan were good friends, and Wang Yuan was the emperor's confidant, so he complained in front of Dai Jian.
Dai Jian said with a smile: "Brother Yuanji doesn't have to worry too much. After the emperor found out, Thunder was furious and gave the 'Yi Ri Sword' to the British prince, presumably it will be found out in the near future. It's the Shuntian Mansion Yin and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, I'm afraid they will have to be replaced this time. β
He heard about the accident in the British government. Slow down, just to wait for Dou Shishu.
There are seven people in the cabinet, Yao Shizhong and him are incompatible, Dou Shishu's two younger brothers are He Wendao's protΓ©gΓ©s, the two have always been friends, Dou Shishu and Ji Song, the servant of the Ministry of Works, are in-laws, and the last time the Ji family overhauled water conservancy in Yixing, they got the support of Muchuan. And in this matter, Dou Shishu seems to have reached some agreement with Mu Chuan, and the two have advanced and retreated together in many things, which is quite an ally.
He took a fancy to the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin, if he could get Dou Shishu's help, He Wendao and Mu Chuan's two votes, Yao Zhongshi could only look at it...... Liang Jifen, then don't worry about him. Now that Dou Shishu is complaining, he naturally has something to reciprocate: "I'll go with you to see it when I get off the Ya, right?" We can't all blame for this kind of thing in Kyoto! "I look heartbroken.
Liang Jifen's face was faintly blue.
He is the first assistant, and it is also his responsibility to have any responsibility, and Dai Jian is clearly accusing him of dereliction of duty.
Dou Shishu vaguely guessed what kind of medicine Dai Jian's gourd was selling, but he had no intention of being used as a gun by Dai Jian.
He pretended to be stunned and smiled: "A little thing, how can it be bothering Brother Liren." If this kind of thing happens, when the court meeting, the emperor will mention it eight or nine times out of ten, and after seeing what the emperor means, it will not be too late for us to discuss. β
was politely refused, Dai Jian was a little displeased, but Dou Shishu had a deep belly, and he could endure it, and he stepped on Zeng Yifen's favorite Wang Youyi, but it looked like a beautiful scenery, he was still a little jealous of Dou Shishu, but it was not good to show a gloomy, and he still said a few words enthusiastically, Mu Chuan came over.
Dai Jian greeted Mu Chuan with a smile.
Dou Shishu sat on the Taishi chair beside Liang Jifen.
"Lord Liang, I'll probably have to leave the government early." He smiled, "There's something going on at home, I'm going to take a look." β
Liang Jifen gave a tepid "um" and didn't say anything.
Dou Shishu couldn't help frowning.
He asked Liang Jifen for leave in front of everyone, to give Liang Jifen face, and also to take the initiative to show favor to Liang Jifen, at this time, even if Liang Jifen was not interested in the position of Yin of Shuntian Mansion, he should appease him a few words, so that he would not join forces with Dai Jian. But Liang Jifen seemed to know nothing about the undercurrent in front of him.
Dou Shishu knows that everyone looks down on Liang Jifen, but he has always felt that it is easy to add icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, the more this time, the more he has to befriend Liang Jifen.
He remembered his overtures a few years ago, and he was also quietly rejected by Liang Jifen.
Could it be that Liang Jifen has any bad opinion of him?
Where did it all start?
Dou Shishu was puzzled.
He pondered whether to visit the Liang Mansion one day, probing Liang Jifen's tone, and an attendant came in and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the early dynasty." β
Dou Shishu gathered his thoughts and went towards the Jinluan Hall with everyone.
β»β»β»β»β»
Whether it's the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, or the people of Shuntianfu. When they heard that the British government not only went into the water, but also entered the thief, they knew that this matter would not end well, especially the Shuntian Mansion, when the British government reported the crime, they did not immediately draw out people to help extinguish the fire...... The commander of the five cities immediately sent two additional guards to the British Mansion, and Yin of the Shuntian Mansion simply went to the scene in person and commanded the capture of the thief together with Tao Chong.
The British government began martial law from the mouth of the alley.
So Song Mo didn't have any intention of slowing down, when he rushed to the alley of the British Mansion. It was not the people of Kyoto who knocked down, but the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion.
But no one dared to say anything.
When this happens, their heads are now hanging on their trouser belts, dead or alive, maybe it is a sentence from the prince of England.
Song Mo jumped off the horse. Go straight to Yizhitang.
It's getting white.
Song Mo's eyes were clear and his expression was calm, but his pursed mouth revealed a kind of ruthless coldness, which made the servant woman who saw him tremble in her legs and stomach, and stood against the wall with her eyebrows in the distance, for fear that she would fall into Song Mo's sight.
Lu Zheng, who heard that Song Mo was back, chased after him with two little guys panting.
"Shiziye, Shiziye!" He stopped Song Mo. "Please stay, Shuntianfu Yin is drinking tea with Mr. Tao in the flower hall, are you going to say hello......"
He didn't say a word, and Song Mo "snapped" and whipped him in the face.
Lu Zheng covered his face with an "oops". Then I felt a burning pain on my face.
The little guy behind him could see clearly, Lu Zheng's right side of his face was swollen, and a whip mark slashed obliquely from his right eye to the corner of his mouth, and his skin was open. Bloody and hideous.
Not only was he whipped. It also broke the phase.
The little guy turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Get on your knees!" Song Mo spoke coldly, Qingming's eyes shining coldly.
Song Mo never instructed the people around Song Yichun.
Lu Zheng was surprised, and showed a little hesitation.
Song Mo's whip was whipped on his shoulder.
He grinned in pain, didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly knelt down.
Song Mo kicked away Lu Zheng, who was blocking in front of him, and walked straight forward.
Only then did Lu Zheng feel the pain of drilling his heart.
Song Mo has entered the Yizhi Hall.
"Lord Shizi!"
"Lord Shizi!"
The guards of Yizhitang saluted Song Mo, but they still stayed where they were.
Song Mo felt a little better in his heart at this time.
Regardless of the fact that these people were just the guards of Yizhitang, he asked anxiously, "What about Madame?" β
"Madame has rested!" One of the guards said with a smile, "I said that I was going to the British Mansion in the morning to gather the women and servants and say a few words, and Mr. Yan instructed us to accompany Madame later." β
Song Mo took a deep breath, only to find that his palms were full of sweat.
The already guarded couldn't help but say, "Lord Shizi, it's a pity that you are not at home and did not see it." Madame is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. I only brought a few small servants and the women in the inner courtyard of the group, and they were strictly guarded, but they didn't let those thieves break into the Weeping Flower Gate......"
Song Mo's heart jumped and said, "What the hell is going on?" β
A few of the guards began to babble.
What is a warning of arson, what boiling water is scalding...... One by one, their eyebrows fluttered.
With such a lady of the prince, they also feel that their faces are bright.
Song Mo's face slowly showed a happy smile from the heart, so bright that the rising morning glow on the horizon was ashamed.
The guards had never seen Song Mo like this, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and their speech was incoherent.
Yan Chaoqing, who got the news, walked out of the study next to him.
"Lord Shizi!" He saluted Song Mo.
Song Mo smiled between his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Hard." His eyes swept behind him, and he said in a deep voice, "What about others?" β
Yan Chao chatted: "Xia Lian took your name card to Shuntian Mansion to see if he could find out anything from the official office." Zhu Yicheng searched the neighborhood to ensure the safety of Yizhitang. I was afraid that Jing'an Temple would be worried when I heard the news, so I sent Wuyi over to report to Master Dou that he was safe...... Du Wei and Lu Ming are there, but they have to wait for you to come back. β
Du Ming was collecting intelligence, and Lu Ming was in charge of training the dead soldiers of Yizhitang.
