On the banquet, everyone talked about the celebration meeting held a few days later - the Luming Banquet, at that time they would sing the poem "Luming", dance the Kuixing Dance, and chant poems, and they all said that Yang Qiuchi should prepare early, and when the time comes, everyone will have a lively time.

Yang Qiuchi was dizzy, and he agreed, thinking, there are so many talents at the door, many of them are poor and sour, and it is not enough to spend money to buy him a few poems to memorize?

After thinking about it again, what are you doing with this brain, it's a big deal to memorize two [***] poems when the time comes. However, [***] poems are too domineering, they can't be used indiscriminately, and if they don't get it right, there will be problems, no one in modern society can write ancient poems well, what to do, you have to think about it.

Jia Hanlin and Gu Fuyin said that they should celebrate Yang Qiuchi at that time when they were on the gold list of the examination and the palace examination.

Speaking of this topic, Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "A few adults, don't laugh at me, I know best how much ability I have." I won't take part in this meeting and the temple test. I am going to ask someone to register at the Ministry of Officials to participate in the big challenge, and if I am lucky, I can be selected for the big selection and be a small sesame official, and I will be satisfied. ”

Through this period of understanding, Jia Hanlin and others also knew that Yang Qiuchi was telling the truth, so he didn't say polite words.

Gu Fuyin volunteered to say that he has a lot of friends from all over the country, and if Yang Qiuchi becomes an official in the future, he happens to go to the place where he has friends, and he can take care of one or two at that time. Jia Hanlin also offered to help.

Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, yes, these two guys can be regarded as local high-level leaders in the Ming Dynasty, especially this Ying Tianfu Yin, which is equivalent to the current mayor of Yanjing City, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, belongs to the national leadership, and there should be a lot of relationships throughout the country, don't waste this relationship.

Although I don't know where to be an official yet, I can use their relationship to take care of Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei, of course, it would be better if I was with them where I was an official.

Thinking of this, Yang Qiuchi asked, "Master Gu, I don't know if you have a close relationship in Yunnan?" "There is a request for others, and this word is unconsciously a little polite.

Gu Fuyin smiled: "This Yunnan Sentencing Envoy Kang Huai and I used to be classmates, and we are also on the same list, and our friendship has always been good." ”

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Gu Fuyin was puzzled and asked, "Yang Gongzi suddenly asked about Yunnan, but he didn't know why?" ”

Yang Qiuchi looked at Ma Du with a smile.

Ma Du understood, and interjected: "Master Gu, the lady and daughter of Bai Qianhu in Beijing, who were executed by Yuanzai a few days ago, were also connected this time, thanks to Yang Gongzi's intercession, the emperor's grace was vast, and he was spared a death sentence and sentenced to exile, which is in Yunnan." Bai Qianhu had a good relationship with Yang Gongzi before, Yang Gongzi was kind-hearted and took pity on her mother and daughter, so he agreed to Bai Qianhu to take care of them. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Fuyin knew about it immediately. In addition to the executed, the final execution of the punishment of those relatives of Zhulian who were not executed was entrusted to the local yamen of Yingtianfu, that is, Gu Fuyin.

Gu Fuyin sighed: "Her mother and daughter can meet a good person like Yang Gongzi, which is also a blessing in their previous life. Yang Gongzi, please rest assured, her mother and daughter will be handed over to me in the next year, and Ying Tianfu will be specifically responsible for escorting them to Yunnan Liusu. I'll make specific arrangements when the time comes. will definitely not let her mother and daughter be wronged. ”

Yang Qiuchi clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Gu." After a pause, he continued, "It's just that I have promised Mr. Bai Qian to personally send them to Yunnan to settle down before leaving." ”

Gu Fu Yin cocked his thumb and praised: "Yang Gongzi's righteousness is really admirable." In this case, when the time comes, I will arrange for Gongzi to escort him all the way, and repair a letter, and send Kang Huai, the procurator of Yunnan, so that he can receive you well. ”

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, got up and bowed: "I thank the adults for their kindness on behalf of her mother and daughter." ”

Gu Fuyin smiled: "Young Master Yang doesn't have to be polite, you have helped me so much, I'm just doing it a gesture, it's nothing." ”

This matter is settled, Yang Qiuchi is in a very happy mood, he has been worried that when he arrives in Yunnan, he is not familiar with the place, even if he has silver, there is no place to send it. Now with the introduction of Gu Fuyin and the response of Yunnan's criminal envoy, this matter will be easy to handle.

In the local judicial system of the Ming Dynasty, the provincial level was set up to be responsible for the punishment of the whole province, and at the regional and state and county levels, the prefect and the prefect were still in charge of justice. This sentence is equivalent to the current president of the Provincial High People's Court, and he also serves as director of the Provincial Department of Discipline Inspection and Supervision and director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate.

If he is sent to Yunnan to be an official in the future, he will have this relationship with Kanghuai, and he will have a backstage for handling cases, which will be more convenient. I just don't know if there's such a good thing.

Everyone drank happily until late at night, and then dispersed.

The next day, Yang Qiuchi didn't wake up from a hangover, and was still sleeping with his head covered, Song Yun'er ran in and lifted his quilt again, and shouted urgently: "Brother, get up quickly, it's terrible!" ”

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was startled, sat up suddenly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your female guard, Xia Ping, is here, waiting for you outside, saying that there is an emergency, it seems to be, it is ......"

Yang Qiuchi was anxious: "What is it?" When did you learn to be such a mother-in-law? ”

"It's the mud doll that's gone!"

"Ah~!" Yang Qiuchi exclaimed, "What did you say?" The mud doll is gone? How is it missing? ”

"How do I know, you can go and ask the female guard yourself, and she will be waiting for you in the living room outside."

Yang Qiuchi got out of bed in a hurry, hurriedly got dressed, rushed out of the door, and came to the living room.

Song Yun'er and Yang Qiuchi's bodyguard, Nangong Xiong, also followed to the hall.

When Xia Ping saw Yang Qiuchi, she knelt down on her knees: "My subordinates are incompetent, please punish the young master!" ”

I saw that Xia Ping's right hand was wrapped in a bandage, hanging around her neck, and the blood on her arm had been soaked out, and a large piece of bright red was obviously not lightly injured.

"What's going on? Say it! Yang Qiuchi asked urgently.

"In the early hours of the morning, there was a masked middle-aged female thief who snatched the third young grandmother Song Qing, and her subordinates and three other guards came forward to intercept her after discovering it. This female thief carried the unconscious three young grandmothers on her back and fought with the three of us. This female thief is very skilled, and I am afraid of hurting the third young grandmother, so I have some scruples, and after the female thief hurts the three of us, she calmly escapes. I couldn't wait for it, and I couldn't recover the third young grandmother. Please punish the young master. ”

Yang Qiuchi was dumbfounded now, Qin Zhihui was also robbed like this at the beginning, could it be the same person? If it is, it should leave a note like last time. Thinking of this, Yang Qiuchi asked, "Did this female thief leave any notes?" ”

Xia Ping was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself why I didn't say it yet, the young master already knew, nodded, took out a small note from his arms and handed it over, and said, "This is what the female thief threw to her subordinates before she fled, and said that her subordinates would hand it over to the young master." ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly took the note, unfolded it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was still the familiar handwriting: "The old body of this little concubine has also been taken away, and she is fine, so she can do it for herself." "The font is beautiful, the ink is clear, and it is clear that it has just been written.

It's that martial arts female senior again! Last time, this person stole the concubine Qin Zhihui from his side, and now he has robbed the mud doll Song Qing again, and moreover, he robbed it under the noses of the three Jinyi guards.

Although he doesn't know how martial arts are like this Xia Ping, Gonggong Li said that this was personally sent by Ji Gang, the special envoy of Jinyiwei's commanding envoy, and he didn't dare to say that his martial arts were first-class, but they should be very good. The three of them can't keep one of them, and they still carry one person. The high level of martial arts can be imagined. Moreover, this female senior is likely to be merciful, otherwise, it will not be difficult to take the lives of the three of her.

Why did this female senior rob her two concubines in a row? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to herself, is jealous, and wants to marry herself? I don't want this old pious woman! Yang Qiuchi thought angrily.

Although I don't know why this female senior wanted to rob her concubine, it is obvious that she doesn't want to hurt herself or her concubine, otherwise it will be easy for her.

So what was the purpose of her taking her concubine? Do you want to teach them martial arts so that they can come back and protect themselves? Yang Qiuchi felt that this idea was ridiculous, although his two concubines were only fifteen or sixteen years old, it was still too late for them to learn martial arts. Besides, she wants to ask someone to protect herself, can't she protect herself? So what's the trouble?

It's definitely not that he wants to blackmail himself, if that's the case, then after he kidnapped Qin Zhihui last time, he should be blackmailed.

It won't be Emperor Jianwen's people, if they want to take revenge on themselves, they can just kill them with one knife, and they don't need to rob their concubines one after another, do they expect that they can cut off their children and grandchildren? That's too childish, and if they really have this kind of thought, wouldn't it be clean and thorough if they just clicked themselves?

Yang Qiuchi couldn't figure it out, and stood there in a daze.

Xia Ping knew that Yang Qiuchi was the envoy of the Jinyi Guard, and he had the power to cut first and then play, and his duty was to protect the safety of Yang Qiuchi and her family, but now, he lost his young grandmother, and if Yang Qiuchi cut himself first and then played because of this, no one would say a word. Even if Yang Qiuchi didn't cut off his head, Jinyiwei was strictly disciplined, such a big mistake would be punished 100%.

Xia Ping saw Yang Qiuchi standing there in a daze without saying a word, maybe she was thinking about how to torture herself to relieve her anger, she was terrified in her heart, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Nangong Xiong has been following behind Yang Qiuchi, and when he saw this scene, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Young master, Xia Ping has been derelict in his duties, and the crime can be beheaded, how to punish it, please show it to the young master." Although Nangong Xiong has a good relationship with Xia Ping, Xia Ping committed this big mistake, and he didn't dare to plead loudly. With his hand on the handle of the knife, as long as Yang Qiuchi signaled to do it, he had no choice but to put Xia Ping to death.

Yang Qiuchi had been thinking about why this martial arts female senior had robbed her concubine, and had not thought of how to punish Xia Ping and the other three who were poorly protected. After listening to Nangong Xiong's words, he reacted and stared at Xia Ping without speaking.

Xia Ping smiled miserably: "The subordinates are guilty and are willing to die, just asking the adults to spare their subordinates." The subordinates apologized for their crimes. "Kowtowed three times in a row. Her right hand was wounded, and her left hand turned to draw the sword at her waist.

"You're crazy!" Song Yun'er exclaimed, stepped forward and pressed Xia Ping's hand, turned her head to look at Yang Qiuchi, her face was full of unbearable.

Niu Qianhu and Ma Du had also received the news and rushed over, they knew Yang Qiuchi's identity and did not dare to interfere indiscriminately, and of course, they also knew the discipline of Jinyiwei. Xia Ping is derelict in his duties, and the crime can be punished, but the punishment in this case can be flexibly controlled, and the key to how to punish depends on Yang Qiuchi's decision.

Yang Qiuchi was indeed very angry at the dereliction of duty of Xia Ping and others, but he had already estimated that this female senior did not want to kill his concubine, and Qin Zhihui and Song Qing should not be in danger, so there was no need to execute the derelict Xia Ping.

However, Yang Qiuchi also knew that Jinyiwei was strictly disciplined, and if he was too soft-hearted, he might not be able to suppress these people in the future.

Yang Qiuchi snorted coldly: "Do you think you're just dead?" ”

This Xia Ping's husband died in the Battle of Jingjing, and he also had two children and two parents, and now when he heard this, his face changed greatly, and his whole body trembled, thinking that Yang Qiuchi would not only kill her, but also kill her whole family. Frightened, he fell to the ground and cried: "My subordinates deserve death, please let my family go, and my subordinates will be cattle and horses in the next life to repay the young master's great kindness." ”

Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping have a good relationship, and seeing that Yang Qiuchi wanted to connect Xia Ping's relatives, he was bold, turned over and knelt down, hugged his fists and said: "Young master, Xia Ping has been derelict in his duties, causing the third young grandmother to be robbed by a female thief, and her life and death are unknown, and she should be executed." But begging the young master to save her heart and mind the injured in her desperate heart, this dereliction of duty is really inadequate, so spare her family. ”

Yang Qiuchi's face was as cold as frost: "Unable to do it?" Is the female thief's martial arts really that high? ”

Xia Ping kowtowed and said: "That female thief's martial arts are extremely high, and her subordinates have only seen it in their lives." If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe that there are such masters in this world. The subordinates did not mean to shirk, the subordinates were willing to accept the death, but just reported it truthfully, so that the young master could be prepared. ”

Yang Qiuchi was a little curious and asked, "If you and her two go all out, how many moves do you think you can stop her?" ”

"It won't be more than ten moves." Xia Ping kowtowed.

Yang Qiuchi had never seen Xia Ping's martial arts, but when he ambushed Jianwen's pursuers that night, he knew a little about Nangong Xiong's martial arts, and turned his head to ask Nangong Xiong: "How do your martial arts compare to Xia Ping?" ”

Nangong Xiong knew that Yang Qiuchi was evaluating the female thief's martial arts, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he hugged his fists and said: "Within a hundred moves, his subordinates can beat Xia Ping." ”

Judging from the comparison of data alone, this female thief is at least comparable to ten Nangong Xiong, so it seems that even if Nangong Xiong and others are all guarded, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the attack of this female thief, and I can't help but be a little frustrated: "If Jianwen Yu Party has such a character, then wouldn't we be ......?"

Nangong Xiong said: "Young master, please rest assured, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, there is probably no second person in the world who has such martial arts as a female thief, and it is impossible for Jianwen to use it, otherwise, he will not only rob the young grandmother." ”

The implication is that don't be afraid, I'm afraid there will be no more people in the world as powerful as this female thief. And we, the brocade guards, are not eating dry food, except for this female thief, the others are here, and they are not so bad.

Of course, Yang Qiuchi knew that this female thief could not be Emperor Jianwen's person. Besides, it's useless to be scared now, and besides, I still have a 77-style pistol, it's really not good, so I'll fight with her, no matter how strong her martial arts are, can she still be stronger than bullets?

Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "Okay, since that's the case, I don't want to trouble your family." After a pause, he looked at Xia Ping coldly: "You also heard what Gonggong Li said that day, you know what to do!" ”

That day, Gonggong Li said that if they did not protect Yang Qiuchi and his family well and something went wrong, they would cut off their heads and apologize.

Xia Ping knew that Yang Qiuchi's words meant to commit suicide, so she didn't pursue her family. kowtowed a few times gratefully, and said to Song Yun'er: "Miss Song, thank you, I deserve it, please let go of your hand and let me commit suicide to apologize." ”

Song Yun'er was still pressing Xia Ping, and said urgently: "Suicide? Isn't your life worth anything? Your death doesn't help anything with this, and besides, the thief clearly didn't mean to kill the mud doll. The mud doll will be fine, so you don't sin to death. He turned his head to Yang Qiuchi and said, "Brother, I'll intercede for her, you spare her first and let her make meritorious contributions, okay?" I'm sorry for you! ”

Of course, Yang Qiuchi didn't really want Xia Ping to commit suicide, but just used this matter to establish his prestige, and he had already guessed in his heart that Song Yun'er would intercede, and now he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said: "Okay, since Nangong Xiong and Yun'er are interceding for you, I will temporarily leave your head on your neck and let you make meritorious contributions, if there is a next time, or prove that this female thief killed the young grandmother, hum!" You know what to do! ”

What he said was from his heart, he was now fighting with Jianwen Yu's party, and the other party had organized a large group of people to carry out a sneak attack and assassination on him, if these guards did not fight to protect him in the future, then he and his family's heads, I'm afraid it won't take long to move. So they have to have a sense of urgency. If there is indeed a lack of protection in the future, resulting in injuries to himself or his family, Yang Qiuchi will still be ruthless enough to kill a few derelict guards to vent his anger.

Xia Ping escaped death, couldn't help but be grateful, and kowtowed a few times: "The subordinates understand that if the subordinates are derelict in their duties again, or if it is proved that the third young grandmother has been killed in the future, the subordinates will immediately apologize for their crimes!" ”

"Hmm~! Get up. Come back to Ningguo Mansion with me! ”
