Everyone hugged Yang Qiuchi into the post station, sat down in the living room to rest, and asked about the passage.

Yang Qiuchi has already thought about it, there is nothing else to hide from this, but Liu Ruobing is Song Yun'er's master, only Yang Qiuchi knows about it, Bai Sumei and the three of them don't know, Yang Qiuchi must hide this, even Song Yun'er used words to probe it, Yang Qiuchi didn't miss a word.

Yang Qiuchi only said that this person was a martial arts master he didn't know, and he had been masked, so he didn't know what he looked like, and said that he later bet that he used a trick to defeat her, and she also let Qin Zhihui and Song Qing go. As for the reason why this person robbed them, Yang Qiuchi had already confessed that Bai Sumei wanted to keep it a secret when he was in the wooden house, and he only vaguely said that the person refused to say the reason, so he didn't know, anyway, the person had promised not to rob them in the future, so everyone was relieved.

While he was talking, the post station doorman came to report that Luo Qianhu had visited. Qin Zhihui and other female relatives avoided entering the room, and only Song Yun'er, a tomboy, and the little black dog guarded Yang Qiuchi's side.

Luo Qianhu entered the door, walked a few steps, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The lower official is derelict in his duties, please punish Lord Yang!" ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly helped him up and said, "If there was an accident, how can you blame Lord Luo." Fortunately, the official is in danger. Only then did Luo Qianhu get up and thank him again and again.

Immediately afterwards, Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping and other brocade guards came in and kowtowed to ask for guilt, Yang Qiuchi simply punished a few words, telling them that the two young grandmothers had been rescued by themselves, and asked them to protect them wholeheartedly in the future and not make any mistakes.

Yang Qiuchi was snatched away, which was a dereliction of duty on the part of the guards, so they were immediately ordered by Luo Qianhu to be put in prison and wait for processing, thinking that this time they were dead. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiuchi returned safely, and also rescued the two missing young grandmothers, and pardoned their dereliction of duty, and immediately was happy and grateful, kowtowed again and again to thank, and vowed to protect the safety and thoughtfulness of adults and their families in the future.

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, if you meet a master like Liu Ruobing, it is useless for you to swear to death. Waved them off.

Luo Qianhu reported to Yang Qiuchi and said: "Lord Yang, after you sent a secret report to the commander last time, the emperor sent a father-in-law to issue a decree to commend the meritorious personnel this time, knowing that you were robbed by robbers, this father-in-law is very worried, we were going to inform the whole country Jinyi Wei to find Lord Yang's whereabouts, but because of your status as an envoy, I dare not make an arbitrary claim, this father-in-law also means this, so I decided to secretly visit and wait to see, sure enough, my lord, you came back safely." ”

Yang Qiuchi then understood why no one paid attention to him along the way, and when he heard that someone came to the palace, he was overjoyed and asked, "The father-in-law sent by the emperor?" Is it Gonggong Li? Where is he? ”

"Staying in the political envoy's yamen."

"Good! I'll pay you a visit right away. ”

Luo Qianhu immediately said goodbye and left. Yang Qiuchi went back to the room first and talked to Qin Zhihui and them, then took Nangong Xiong and other brocade guards to escort them and went straight to the Yamen of Zuobu's political envoy. This is an official meeting, so Song Yuner will not follow.

came to the political envoy's yamen, and after the report, the porter took Yang Qiuchi to the living room to serve tea and wait.

After a while, I heard a sharp laugh, and two people turned out from behind the screen, the first one was Gonggong Li, followed by the political envoy Zuobu.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I've seen Gonggong Li!" ”

"Good! It's great that Lord Yang is lucky and comes back safely! Gonggong Li smiled and beckoned Yang Qiuchi to sit down and speak. Zuo Buzheng's envoy Qian also happily said to Yang Qiuchi and congratulated him on his safe return.

After the three of them sat down, Gonggong Li asked Yang Qiuchi about what happened after he was kidnapped, and Yang Qiuchi briefly said that he had already thought of what to deal with, and what should be concealed was concealed.

After listening to what Yang Qiuchi said, Gonggong Li and Political Envoy Qian Bu heard that Yang Qiuchi's two concubines had returned, and they both said goodbye.

Gonggong Li said again: "This female thief's kung fu is so high, our Jinyiwei didn't notice this kind of character, it's really a dereliction of duty, after I go back, I will tell the commander to pay more attention to Master Ji, this person dares to kidnap the commander and envoy, it is really bold, and he must be severely punished after being caught!" ”

Yang Qiuchi's heart sank, and he was secretly worried about Liu Ruobing, but thinking that she had lived in the wilderness for a long time and rarely showed her face, coupled with her high martial arts, Jin Yiwei didn't know what she looked like, it was difficult to find her, let alone catch her.

Gonggong Li asked in detail where she went, and Yang Qiuchi told the truth. Gonggong Li arranged for the political envoy Qian Bu to immediately send an arrester to search for him with Jinyiwei, and the political envoy Qian Bu was ordered to go out immediately.

After he left, Gonggong Li said, "Lord Yang, kneel down and accept the order." ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: the country has a meritorious record, will be knighted to be valuable, this meritorious persuasion of the holy canon also. Er Jin Yiwei commanded the envoy and Yang Qiuchi, the county commander of Qingxi County, Yuanzhou, Huguang Town, who was loyal and righteous, pure and good-minded, and would be a little idle, and Pingwuchang had meritorious service in plotting against him, and he was given a golden book and iron coupons. I swear to you, except for rebellion, if you commit a capital crime, you will be spared once and you will be rewarded. I will not forget Erxun, and I will not forget my training, and I will go to the Lier Festival and benefit the Emblem. Thanksgiving! ”

Yang Qiuchi heard this holy decree in a fog, and only knew that the emperor praised himself, and he also gave himself a golden book and iron coupon, but Yang Qiuchi didn't understand what it was, and the emperor must have sent it badly. After shouting long live, he took the holy decree in Gonggong Li's hand with both hands, raised it above his head, and then slowly stood up.

Gonggong Li could see that Yang Qiuchi didn't quite understand, so he asked with a smile: "Lord Yang, do you know what the emperor gave you?" ”

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and replied honestly: "I really don't know about my humble position. ”

"Hehe, this golden book and iron coupon is what the common people commonly call the 'gold medal for avoiding death'!"

What the? Death-free gold medal? Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened in surprise, I have heard of this thing in the movie, it is very awesome, if you commit the capital crime of killing your head, you can use this thing to carry it, and you will not be punished by other punishments except for cutting officials for the people.

Gonggong Li clapped his palms, and a follower came in from the back hall, holding a gold box inlaid with pearl agate in his hand and placing it on the coffee table in the middle. Yang Qiuchi looked at it, not to mention anything else, this box alone is worth old money.

Gonggong Li opened the treasure box, took out a swarthy tile-like thing from it, held it in both hands and handed it to Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi took it respectfully, only to see a line of large gilt characters written on it: "Qin Ci Jinyi Wei Commander Special Envoy and Yang Qiuchi Golden Book Iron Coupon of Qingxi County, Yuanzhou, Huguang Town, except for plotting rebellion, if the rest commit a capital crime, they will be spared death once." ”

After reading the words on this, Yang Qiuchi knew that this thing was a gold medal for avoiding death, haha, avoid dying once, hahaha, cool! Yang Qiuchi hugged the baby, and smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

Gonggong Li smiled and said: "Lord Yang, this time you have detected a series of cases of embezzlement of disaster relief grain by the political envoy of Quan Bu and the prefect of Tan, and a series of cases of rebellion instigated by Mi Yuanwai and Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, the emperor is very happy and praises you, saying that if it weren't for Lord Yang, once these traitors succeed in their rebellion, I don't know how many ordinary people will suffer from swords. ”

"The emperor said, Lord Yang, you have resolved this crisis, it is an immeasurable merit that has saved thousands of living beings, since you have saved so many people, so the emperor has given you this gold medal to avoid death in recognition of your merits. You must know that there are only a handful of people in our Ming Dynasty who have won this honor, and they are all princes and generals with great achievements. ”

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he laughed so much that his eyes, nose and mouth were almost crowded into a heap. I turned the death-free gold medal upside down and looked at it again.

Li Gonggong said: "This gold medal is divided into two halves, the left half is given to Lord Yang, and the right half is kept in the palace for proof." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled and nodded, read the words on it again, remembered a question, and asked, "Father-in-law, can I only use this gold medal myself?" ”

Gonggong Li said: "The holy decree and the gold medal are not restricted to adults, so it should be possible to authorize others to use it." It's just that if someone else uses it, adults don't have it. After that, he looked at Yang Qiuchi and smiled meaningfully.

Yang Qiuchi immediately understood that the last time he released Song Qing privately, the emperor knew that he was a lover, so he did not restrict his use of this death-free gold medal to others like others, just to prevent himself from encountering such a thing again, so as not to make such a low-level mistake again, which was really very thoughtful.

Yang Qiuchi respectfully put the death-free gold medal into the gold box, closed the lid, tilted his head and admired it for a while, and then asked, "Father-in-law, how did these prisoners deal with it?" ”

"The emperor has decreed that the political envoy of Quan Bu and the prefect of Tan colluded with others inside and outside to embezzle the disaster relief grain, which was almost used by the rebellion, and almost caused a catastrophe, so it was regarded as a rebellion, and the crime was unforgivable.

Yang Qiuchi had a sudden slap in his heart, although these two old guys confessed to the report, but in the end they could not escape death, and it was an analogy to rebel and rebel, it seems that Ming Chengzu will never tolerate rebellion, but their frank report is still a little useful, at least they saved themselves from the pain of Ling Chi, and also saved their families.

Gonggong Li continued: "All the participants who instigated the grain robbery, as well as those who set fire to the granary, will be executed by Ling Chi and exterminated by the nine clans. ”

"The collusion between the outside and the outside of the rice staff to embezzle the disaster relief grain, and instruct the domestic slaves to incite the food robbery, is a conspiracy to rebel and rebel, and the crime is unforgivable, however, the emperor saw the face of the Duke of Dingguo, and exempted the rice staff from being late and changed to hanging, and the nine clans and the men who lived together over the age of 16 were beheaded, and the remaining men under the age of 15, mothers, daughters, wives and sisters, and the wives and concubines of children and grandchildren were all paid to the families of the heroes as slaves. All the family property is rewarded to the meritorious heroes. ”

According to the provisions of the Daming Law "If a woman is allowed to marry and return to her husband", Mi Yuanwai's crime of rebellion could not even reach Dingguo Gong, and having a relationship with Dingguo Gong could not keep this Mi Yuanwai's head, but he was still exempted from Ling Chi, changed to hanging, and left a whole corpse.
