Chapter 49: The Bird

Now the Chongqing Mansion has entered a state of military control, and there is a weapon fight in the inn, and one of the parties is still the leader of the local soldiers who have been recruited, and of course he will be escorted to be handled by Jing Qianhu.

In the Ming Dynasty, the civilian power was far above the military attachΓ©, in the case of the Chongqing prefect, he was the supreme commander of the wartime theater, don't look at him as a civilian official, all the military generals in Chongqing must be commanded and dispatched by him, and the Chongqing government has entered the state of military control, and he is the supreme leader here.

However, in this way, he is the military, civilian, economic, and legal affairs, and he can't be busy at all, so he is a full-time specialist, unless he has to decide on major decisions, basically subdivided into people with specific duties, and Zhan Ning'er and Qin Liangyu were naturally escorted to the Qianhu House.

Zhan Ning'er and Qin Liangyu were originally a misunderstanding, plus Shui Wu recognized Zhan Ning'er, and Ma Qiancheng knew Qin Liangyu, so the truth of this misunderstanding was naturally revealed soon. The two girls have hearty personalities, and they know the ins and outs, and they pity each other, but they soon don't know each other.

Ma Qiancheng learned that Qin Liangyu's purpose in going to Ye Xiaotian was to buy medicine, so he immediately patted his chest and spoke to Qin Liangyu: "It turns out that you want to buy medicinal materials, this is easy, just a word from my brother Jing, this Chongqing Mansion, you go sideways......"

Qin Liangyu glanced at him and said, "I'm not a crab!" But looking at his eyes, it was different from usual.

This Ma Qiancheng listened to Ye Xiaotian's words, and he really became serious. According to Ma Qiancheng's idea, in the battle of real swords and guns, it is really more difficult for him to defeat Qin Liangyu than to ascend to the sky, but it seems to be much easier to turn her into his own woman.

Moreover, Ma Qiancheng has always been self-conscious, and after he thought that a great girl like Qin Liangyu was worthy of his General Fubo, the more this young man thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, and his mentality changed. Looking at Qin Liangyu again, the perception is completely different.

She knows the art of war and has high martial arts? Okay, this is what I want to marry to be a mother-in-law, the greater her ability, the more worry-free I am, and the more majestic my Shidong Ma family is! Besides, that look, why didn't I find it before, take a closer look, it's really Peugeot. So-so can be worthy of my White Horse General.

This Ma Qian's temperament is full of wind and fire, and he does it when he thinks of it, and immediately starts a crazy pursuit of Miss Qin, like a peacock who has eaten an aphrodisiac, eager to spread his wings and show all his advantages in front of the other party.

But in terms of martial arts and the art of war, he had nothing to show off in front of Miss Qin, so he had to get close to Jing Qianhu and sell his connections.

Jing Peng knew that he came with Ye Xiaotian. The relationship should be good, and it can be seen that he is currying favor with Miss Qin, and he has done similar things back then, so he will naturally give it convenience. smiled and nodded: "That's natural, Miss Qin doesn't have to worry, since you are Brother Ma's friend, Jing can give it a convenience." Be free to give convenience. ”

Qin Liangyu said in his heart: "Who gave that kid a friend?" But when he turned his head to look at Ma Qiancheng, the strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious. This kid is smiling sheepishly, it's really different from before. But I don't know what the hell he's up to.

When Ye Xiaotian approached, he saw such a scene: Zhan Ning'er and Xue Shuiwu were sitting on the side whispering, Ma Qiancheng salivated and leaned over to Qin Liangyu's side to show off, but Jing Peng, the master, was stacked aside by them......

Kuai Peng originally wanted to simply prepare a few appetizers and have a few drinks with Ye Xiaotian, but he didn't want two more girls to come at once, so he quickly called the big-footed girl named Xiaohong and ran to the street to buy a few ready-made dishes.

Mixed banquet for men and women, this is not an ordinary banquet, although it is not a family banquet, but its form is about the same, and everyone is more casual and natural. During the banquet, Ye Xiaotian, Jing Peng, and Ma Qiancheng sat on the side, talking and laughing, and they could talk about any topic together.

On the other side are Zhan Ning'er, Qin Liangyu and Xue Shuiwu. Zhan Ning'er is the daughter of Toast and a wealthy noblewoman. Qin Liangyu is Qin Gongsheng's baby daughter, the most popular female heroine in Qinjiazhai, no matter what topic the two of them talk about, they can talk together, but in this regard, Shui Wu is much inferior.

Whether it's talking about martial arts and soldiers, or talking about family affairs, she can't interject, and the topics of ordinary women such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and children's diapers that she can casually talk about are not something that girls like Qin Liangyu and Zhan Ning'er can talk about.

So, Shui Wu did her duty as a hostess and a good listener, listened with a smile, and filled the empty wine glasses of the two from time to time: "Perhaps, only a woman like Miss Ning'er is worthy of being his woman......"

Shui Wu looked at Ning Er, and then at Ye Xiaotian, a trace of gloom and melancholy arose in her heart, and the emotion was faint, but it was enough to make her eyebrows and eyes slightly stiff. This slight change in mood, even Zhan Ning'er and Qin Liangyu, who were both daughters, did not notice it, but they looked like they had a beard, as if the very rough Kuai Peng had noticed it.

Shui Wu suddenly felt a big hand under the table holding her soft hand, staring at it, only to see her husband's warm and smiling eyes, Shui Wu suddenly surged a warm current in her heart: There are two kinds of people in this world, one is an ordinary person, and the other is an ordinary person. She is just an ordinary person, a little bird, why should the bird's ambition be a bird?

Following in the footsteps of Honghu is a pain for her, a drag for Honghu, what she wants is the happiness of a little woman, she gets the peace she wants, and that's enough. Holding her husband's hand back, Shui Wu's eyes were full of sweetness and happiness. The knot in my heart has finally been completely untied today.

Ye Xiaotian and the others stopped in Chongqing Mansion for seven or eight days, during which they first asked Li Hualong through the military post whether to continue to Chengdu to listen to the inquiry, and Li Hualong replied: Wang Shiqi, the prefect of Chongqing, asked on his behalf.

Anyway, Ye Xiaotian is here to testify on behalf of Yang Yinglong, although Li Hualong himself does not come forward, as long as he appoints someone he trusts to take a confession, it can also achieve the corresponding effect. But although it was through the military post round-trip information, seven or eight days of this round trip passed.

After getting Li Hualong's reply here, Wang Shiqi, the prefect of Chongqing, also took time out of his busy schedule to meet them. Ye Xiaotian, Elder Dong, Tian Binfei, Tian Tianyou and others were all on the Tianwang Pavilion at the beginning, and they were all witnesses, and the method of questioning adopted by the Wang Governor's Mansion was to isolate the single person from interrogating to prevent everyone from colluding to confess.

Regarding the practice of the Wang Governor's Mansion, Ye Xiaotian and the others naturally have no objections, and they can't raise objections, anyway, as long as they tell the truth what they saw and heard that day, because what happened that day was indeed that Yang Yinglong thought he was a cuckold and killed people in anger.

As for whether Yang Yinglong killed his wife and killed him, and then suppressed the moderates who were close to Mrs. Zhangyin's side, whether it had anything to do with the rebellion, and whether Yang Yinglong had any objections, this was not within the scope of their reply, and the Wang Governor would not ask them about such a sensitive topic.

Ye Xiaotian, as the main witness, was the last to be invited into the second hall. Ye Xiaotian is not a human prisoner, and he has an official position, so after going to the second hall, he naturally has a seat.

Ye Xiaotian went to the second hall and saluted the prefect, and was given a seat by Wang Shiqi, who was black-haired and majestic-looking, Ye Xiaotian coughed, bowed slightly and said: "My lord, do you want to tell the officials what they saw that day now?" ”

Governor Wang glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Hehe, Lord Ye is different from others, and this mansion can't ask you." ”

Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, he, the chief of the Woniu Division, was not as good as the prefect of Chongqing in terms of rank. Of course, if you talk about the local officials, he is a golden job, and the prefect of the king can't compare to him. However, it would be a bit strange to say that the prefect of the Wang Mansion was not qualified to question him.

Governor Wang didn't give him too much time to doubt, and with a slight smile, he had already stood up and said to Ye Xiaotian: "This mansion avoids it, and you can talk about the next thing!" ”

As he spoke, the prefect walked behind the screen, and a person was walking out behind the screen.

Ye Xiaotian saw that the man was about forty years old, with a clear face, a long figure, and a pair of eyes that were not big, but they were very sharp, and when he looked at people, he looked very sharp. And the solemnity between his demeanor is obviously a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and judging from the prefect's gesture of raising his hand to salute first, and his gesture of raising his hand to return the salute, his position is even higher than that of the prefect, who in Chongqing Mansion can be higher than the prefect's rank?

"Lord Ye?" The middle-aged man walked to the hall, glanced at Ye Xiaotian, sat down on the seat where the prefect had just sat down, raised his hand and pressed it steadily, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Sit down!" ”

When the prefect of the Wang Mansion got up, Ye Xiaotian had already stood up, and at this time, he had to be instructed to sit down again, and said suspiciously: "My lord?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Xing Jie, the squire of this officer and soldier's department, your difficulties, Lord Shangshu already knows. This official came here because he was sent by the imperial court, but he was also entrusted by Qiao Shangshu. ”

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he knew that Xing Jie, the squire of the Ministry of War, was also the secretary of the Ministry of War, Qiao Hanwen, and his heart was immediately happy.

Because of the Korea-Japan War and the rebellion, the imperial court sent troops from both sides, and the situation in the world changed greatly. Originally, the Eagle Party sharpened its knives and was ready to make a move on Yang Yinglong, but now they didn't know how to stop. But as long as the imperial court appeases Yang Yinglong, it can wait until Japan and the Worship are resolved, and then free up their hands to deal with him, but Ye Xiaotian can't wait!

Woniuling is now full of "pests", which Ye Xiaotian took the initiative to put in, originally to confuse the enemy, so that Yang Yinglong misjudged that Woniuling was already under control, so that he could stab him at a critical moment.

If the imperial court delays the move, what will Ye Xiaotian do? Seeing these "pests" hollowing out Woniuling, isn't stealing chickens and eating a handful of rice? Ye Xiaotian didn't say anything on the surface these days, and he didn't know how anxious he was, but now Qiao Shangshu finally sent someone.

Ye Xiaotian's eyes immediately lit up, he stared at Xing Shilang with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shilang, I am ready to send an arrow to Woniuling, I have to send it!" But I don't know where Master Qiao is...... How? (To be continued.) )
