Chapter 197: Han Shizi's Concern
Since leaving Pingliang Mansion, Xu Liang has been locked in that simple carriage for five days. On the way, Xu Liang didn't make any small moves, he was honest, and naturally the eight brocade guards also ended up easily. After five days of getting along, Xu Liang and Jinyiwei's people can also talk a few words.
Xu Changqing, a thousand households in Jinyi from the Chang'an Thousand Households, escorted Xu Liang into Chang'an Mansion, and the carriage stopped slightly in front of a small courtyard without a house number, and a Jinyi captain stepped forward and patted the door rhythmically a few times, and the side door of the small courtyard opened quietly, and the carriage carrying Xu Liang drove in.
Then Xu Liang was locked up in a secret room, where three meals were delivered, but there was no sunlight, and a butter lamp that was about to go out at any time lit up a small area in the secret room. After another three days, Xu Liang was taken into the carriage again.
Xu Changqing, a thousand households in brocade, walked to the carriage and grinned: "Lord Xu, originally our family didn't have to go to this errand, but it just so happened that our family was also going to Beijing, hehe, I will personally send Lord Xu to Beijing." ”
After not seeing the sun for days, Xu Liang's face was pale and his lips were dry, and he arched his hand and said: "Then there is Brother Lao Xu, with Brother Xu, Xu will not be too boring all the way." ”
The familiar captain of the brocade clothes on the side approached and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, it is also Lord Xu's luck to have our Lord Qianhu personally send you to Beijing." ”
"That's nature." Xu Liang said.
The carriage, accompanied by thirteen brocade guards, quietly slid out of this mysterious courtyard as when it entered, and then went around to a lane with few pedestrians, and walked around for a while, and actually went around to the gate of Chang'an City in a while, and went out of the city smoothly.
The carriage went on the official road, and there were few pedestrians on the road.
Xu Qianhu opened the car door and shouted into the car: "Lord Xu, Xu Mou respects you as a man, so let's go, this is a long way to Beijing, don't be crooked, we don't look for you, you have rules all the way, let's be easy, how about it?" ”
"That's very good." Xu Liang smiled, stretched out his chained hands out of the car, and gestured to Xu Qianhu.
As soon as Xu Qianhu tilted his head slightly, a captain stepped forward and untied the chain from Xu Liang's body. Xu Liang rubbed the arm that pressed out the chain mark, sat back in the carriage, and said: "Jinyiwei criminal investigation of the world's people, civil and military officials, the people who are targeted by Jinyiwei will flee to the ends of the earth, and they will not be able to live in peace." Xu knew the stakes of Jinyiwei, so he naturally didn't dare to ask for hardship. Brother Xu and all the brothers can rest assured. ”
Xu Qianhu was surprised for a while, and then walked away again.
After walking for more than ten miles, the team passed by a tea stall on the official road and stopped to rest. A few lieutenants found a table and sat down, and ordered the men to serve herbal tea. Xu Liang jumped down from the carriage and said to the captain who was in charge of guarding him on the side of the carriage: "Captain, let's go and drink saliva too." ”
The lieutenant glanced at Xu Qianhu with his eyes, and when he saw that Xu Qianhu did not oppose it explicitly, he followed him into the tea shed with a smile to find a place to drink tea.
Xu Liang sat down at a table in Xu Qianhu by himself, shouting and asking the guy to add tea.
After two sips, I heard someone screaming: "Yo yo yo, who is this?" Isn't this Xu Liang, the old man of Zhenyuan County? ”
Xu Liang looked up and saw Zhao Yongyong, the commander of the guards of the Han Palace, walking over with two of his subordinates. Commander Zhao circled around Xu Liang lightly, and shouted in a fuss: "Lord Xu, what's wrong?" Why do you look so down? Yo, Xu Qianhu is also there! ”
Zhao will always be the commander of the guards of the Han Palace, so he naturally knows the Qianhu officials of the Jinyi Guard's Chang'an. hurriedly greeted Xu Qianhu. sneered at Xu Liang again, "It turns out that Lord Xu is going to enter Beijing?" Are you still bothered by Xu Qianhu to escort it personally? It seems that the stall is quite big? Hehehe, a few years ago, Lord Xu fought the thieves in Zhenyuan City to go to the dragon, what a heroic spirit it was, I didn't expect that today I would become a prisoner at the mercy of others, it is really a pity. ”
Bah! Xu Liang spit out the tea violently, stared at the bowl containing the tea and shook his head: "I said why is the tea in this roadside stall so unpalatable, it turns out that there is a mad dog croaking on the side." ”
"You?" Commander Zhao's face turned red, and he pointed at Xu Liang and shouted fiercely: "Okay, you Xu Liang, you are still so rampant when you are dying!" ”
Xu Liang immediately understood, looked at Zhao Yongyong and said, "I said where did this fly disaster?" Dare to love is your Han Wangfu's ghost? ”
Commander Zhao snorted coldly, and sneered: "Heaven is evil, you can still live, you can do it yourself, you can't live!" Xu Liang, you don't go to inquire, our Han Wangfu has been building a mansion in Shaanxi for more than 100 years, and we have offended the people of Han Wangfu, which one can have a good end? ”
"Oh, I'm so scared." Xu Liang patted his chest, with a look of fear on his face, and sneered: "The Han Wangfu is so majestic, I'm afraid that even the local government doesn't pay attention to it?" ”
"That's nature." Commander Zhao was triumphant and raised his thumbs, "Don't talk about our Lord Han, even if it is our prince, on the ground in the northwest, dare an official dare not give three points of face?" ”
Xu Liang didn't say anything to him, but smiled at Xu Qianhu and said, "Lord Xu, it seems that Han Wangfu is really amazing, and even the head of the nursing home dares to be presumptuous in front of your old man." ”
Xu Qianhu sank his face, pinched the tea bowl, and snorted coldly: "Zhao Yong, this Qianhu is here, I can't allow you to be presumptuous!" ”
Commander Zhao's heart jumped, and then he remembered that there was still this killing god on the side, so he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said with a sneer: "Lord Xu forgives his sins, and the officials have no intention of offending Lord Qianhu." That one...... Xia Guan specially waited here to convey a few words to this sesame official from Zhenyuan County. ”
Xu Qianhu said: "Xu Liang is a serious offender in the court, and those who are idle are not allowed to approach. ”
Commander Zhao added embarrassedly: "This is specially arranged by the prince of Han Wang, and the lower officials are also acting on orders, and they also ask Lord Qianhu to make it convenient." ”
Hearing that it was Han Shizi's confession, Xu Qianhu couldn't help but give this face, bowed his head and drank tea, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Commander Zhao took Xu Liang aside and said compassionately: "Lord Xu, you have repeatedly ruined the good deeds of the prince, first demolished the palace of King Han, greedy for the property in the secret room of the prince of Han, and then robbed the wife of the prince of the world, hum, you are really impatient!" Now that you are going to be taken to the capital for trial, the prince is very worried about you, and he is afraid that you will not be able to withstand the torture of the three law divisions when you arrive in the capital, so he will ask the commander to give you something. As he spoke, he handed a small porcelain bottle with the thickness of a thumb to Xu Liang, "This is the ** specially chosen by the prince for adults, as long as you drink a drop, it will be effective immediately, and the gods will not be able to save it." ”
Xu Liang glanced at the vial, and said coldly: "Han Shizi is afraid that his efforts will be in vain, this medicine should be left to Shizi to enjoy himself, Xu Mou will enter Beijing with a good heart, and he will be able to come back with a good heart." With that, Xu Liang turned around and was about to leave.
Commander Zhao stopped and said, "Lord Xu, don't talk too much. Although the world's well-known torture tools are basically in the prison of the factory guards, I heard that the torture tools of the Three Law Divisions are not much different, and Lord Xu still takes it first, in case he can't stand it, it's better to make a break by himself, it's better than suffering for life, isn't it? With that, Commander Zhao stuffed the medicine bottle into Xu Liang's arms, laughed three times happily, and took his subordinates away.
With this episode of Commander Zhao, Xu Liang finally figured out the source of this disaster: Han Wangfu!
The team moved forward again. This day walked through the territory of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, passing through a small town, the originally good pedestrians suddenly ran up, at this time the carriage was walking on a riverside path, on one side is a piece of houses built along the river, on the other hand is the clear river water, the road is not wide enough, barely able to accommodate two carriages side by side through guò, Xu Qianhu and several other Jinyi lieutenants have ridden tall horses, more than a dozen horses are lined up in a line on the narrow riverside path in Shaanxi, after a burst of impact from the running crowd, the distance between the captains and the carriage has been virtually widened.
When the pedestrians were in a commotion, Xu Qianhu beckoned the captains to dismount and move closer to the carriage in the middle.
At this time, there were more and more people running, all dressed in various colors, and the young people in front of them were young and middle-aged, then women and children, and then a few old people in the back.
Xu Qianhu stopped someone and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The man replied, "Earlier, Liu Yuanwai's mansion began to distribute rice and noodles again!" ”
After the man finished answering, he left Xu Qianhu and ran forward. Seeing this, Xu Qianhu saw that although the road was slightly crowded, it could pass people, so he put his mind at ease and hurriedly walked forward with the carriage.
Suddenly, I heard a person behind me shouting: "The rice noodles are almost finished, everyone run, it's gone if it's too late!" ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. With that shout, the people who were originally following the carriage eagerly crossed the carriage and rushed forward, and after rushing past a dozen people one after another, suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps behind him, Xu Qianhu looked back, but saw that there were hundreds of people rushing forward regardless of it, and this large group of people ran up, like a torrent that suddenly rolled up, and the people who didn't plan to run on the side of the road also ran forward involuntarily.
As the distance between the carriage and the carriage shortened, more and more people were brought in, and gradually converged into a surging flow of people, rolling towards the carriage with their heads and faces covered. Someone in the crowd kept shouting, "Run! ”
The captain of Jinyi, who was guarding the back of the carriage, had already noticed the danger, stopped behind the carriage and shouted: "Jinyi is on an errand, don't approach!" Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Ah......h
The lieutenant colonel of the chaos didn't see it clearly, and he was hit with a brick on his head, and immediately the blood flowed profusely, and if he tried to stop drinking, he was already squeezed into the river.
Xu Qianhu had already understood that the shape was wrong at this time, drew his knife in his hand, shouted, and ran towards the carriage against the flow of people with several Jinyi Guard captains.
However, at this time, the flow of people had already overflowed the carriage and rushed forward, and the carriage in the chaos was like a flat boat in the sea, swaying, and in danger of capsizing at any time, and the Jinyi lieutenant who was guarding the carriage had long been unable to distinguish where it was. Xu Qianhu saw that several Jinyi lieutenants around him were also involved in the flow of people, and he struggled to get closer to Xu Qianhu, and the distance between himself and the carriage was slowly expanding.
That carriage, that carriage actually has a tendency to move towards the rear!
Xu Qianhu shouted angrily, took a breath of anger, his body was like a goose, he actually jumped up out of thin air, his toes were a little on the head of the running person, he jumped forward into Zhangyu, and then a little, and then jumped into Zhangyu, and then he jumped into Zhangyu, and he could jump on the roof of the carriage after a few more points.
At this moment, a strange protrusion arose, and the carriage, which had a faint tendency to move backward in the flow of people, was somehow squeezed to the side of the road, and overturned into the river, with a muffled thud, bringing up a three-foot-high splash, and seven or eight people running on the far edge of the path fell into the water with the carriage, and fluttered and splashed in the river, trying to climb ashore.
Xu Qianhu shouted violently, his toes connected the dots, like a wild goose in the sky, and fell to the place where the carriage fell before the three take-offs and landings, holding the willow pole by the river with one hand, and staring at the carriage floating in the river, the roof of which sank and floated.
There was no movement in the carriage for a moment.
