Chapter Seventy-Six: The Governor of Lu Comes to Visit

Yan Shifan casually flipped through the confession, and sneered again and again: "This group of rats, dogs are bold and delusional, but they think that my Yan Mansion is a fence with grass and paper? If you want to succeed, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky! ”

Yan Song is old after all, but he is a little afraid. He thought of the ability that Hongji showed during the day, after the dart in the acupoint, he could still fight fiercely with people for a long time, if he and his gang of murderers, fully armed with weapons and killed the generals, wouldn't it be dangerous?

Therefore, Lao Yan Song did not have Yan Shifan's calmness, and said: "Donglou, you should always be careful in everything." This gang of murderers is indeed carefully prepared and vicious. If it weren't for Hong'er's good sense this time, they would have lined up with long swords in their hands, and spread out in the mansion, and there would have been a great catastrophe in my Yan Mansion! Even if it doesn't cause a catastrophe, it's not beautiful for them to hurt more people or frighten your mother. ”

Yan Shifan heard his father say this, so naturally he couldn't refute it. Yan Song praised again: "God is lucky." It's thanks to Hong'er that he escaped this encounter. Hong'er has seen through the murderer's plan to hide the soldiers on the wooden pole, and has made great contributions to the Yan Mansion, and in the eyes of his father, the favored child he received at the beginning is really the lucky star of my Yan Mansion. ”

Yan Shifan said with a pale face: "Father, not necessarily." But I heard people say...... "This and this, and this and this."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, Yan Song's brows also wrinkled into a pimple: "There is such a thing?" Could it be that in my strict mansion, there is going to be a change in the wall? ”

Yan Shifan smiled coldly: "Under my eyelids, he is playing these tricks, and he must not be allowed to do so." Is the strict family law a fictitious one? ”

Yan Song groaned: "However, this kind of thing is not easy to believe. You just heard people say that there is no evidence after all. For the Father's sake, press this beforehand, and you will be secretly surveyed. If he could find it, it would not be too late to deal with him again. Otherwise, if you rely on just a few rumors, you will have to erase Hong'er's real achievements, if there is a mistake, won't you be laughed at by the world? ”

Yan Shifan said: "My father misunderstood me. The child didn't want to erase Hong'er's credit, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and this matter must be guarded against after all, and he would rather be more detailed. Therefore, this trip, Hu'er doesn't have to drive him back to Yuanzhou for the time being. If the rumors are true, then my Yan family's business is inseparable from Hu'er after all. Qingguan is young again, so he is ushered in, and he has to rely on him. ”

Yan Song nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let Hu'er postpone leaving Beijing." As for the grange and the shop, let it be watched. Hong'er, the rumors are not necessarily true, but you have to be prepared. And Hu'er's behavior today is clearly disappointing to the old man, and you are afraid that it will be difficult to support you by him. It seems that in the future, the Yan family will still have to count on Qingguan in the future. ”

Besides, Yan Hong's side, he tossed all day and smoked, and there was another life-and-death struggle, he was really exhausted and tired. So he said goodbye to his grandfather and father, returned to his house, and slept until the next day.

At this time, Yan Song, Yan Shifan's father and son, had already gone to Xiyuan. Although Emperor Jiajing usually does not go to the court, but yesterday this matter was too big, not only serious, but also attractive, so the emperor also broke away from the cultivation of immortals and recited the mantra and asked in person. Although it is not a big court meeting, but to make an exception to meet the cabinet, Jiuqing and other important courtiers, that is, to scold people in person, it is better to scold people than to make eunuchs answer, and since there is such a big thing the day before, then the cabinet and even the entire court will inevitably be a lot of chickens and dogs.

Grandpa and Daddy are not there, so everything is not so stressful. Yan Hong got up and got dressed, and after eating some snacks, he sat in the room and wondered if he should go to his grandmother. Yesterday, I made a great contribution and won the love of my grandmother, so I just struck while the iron was hot and settled the matter of the rouge tiger.

But when he thought about it, he thought about it again, if grandma struck while the iron was hot and told the story of Bao Toad, how should he deal with it? When I think of this section, I can't help but have a headache. Originally, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Bao Toad, but if he really let Bao Toad enter the door, he was afraid that Rouge Tiger's affairs would be even more difficult to handle.

Yan Hong was thinking about what to do there, but the maid came to report, saying that Lu Bing, the governor of Lu, had come to visit his uncle and was waiting in the study in the front yard.

When Yan Hong heard Lu Bing's words, goosebumps broke out on his back, and at the same time, he was a little happy in his heart. It's just that Lu Bingwei came here, but he was very surprised: "What is this Governor Lu looking for me?" ”

It stands to reason that this guy shouldn't be lining up in Xiyuan to be trained now? When the first assistant of the dynasty was assassinated in the palace, this matter is not trivial. The Jinyi Guard has the responsibility of patrolling and arresting, especially the security of the Beijing Division, which is jointly responsible for the Jinyi Guard, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Imperial History of the Patrol City.

Not to mention, the assassin began to assassinate under the guard circle of the Jinyi Guard, and the backbone of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Bing's confidant Mo Huaigu, turned out to be the internal response of the Assassin gang. These things add up, it's really enough for Lu Da's spies to drink a pot. Even if he is a saint and has the same grace, but he has to go around in a bad form, even if he is tied up, he has to be reprimanded symbolically by the emperor, and then bow his head and admit his mistake, how did he sneak into my house?

No matter how strange this matter is, Yan Hong is both respectful and afraid of Lu Bing after all. Since Lu Bing came, of course he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly asked Shen'er to help tidy up his clothes and come to the study in the front yard.

saw Lu Bing smiling, sitting on a big chair, waiting for him. Yan Hong had mixed feelings in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and sang a fat song.

After Yan Hongshi sat down, Lu Bingcai said slowly:

"Do you know from the nephew, how did the courtiers deal with the murder of your Yan Mansion yesterday?"

Yan Hong thought for a while and said:

"Shibo Mingjian, the little nephew is so literate, he has never been to Xiyuan, and the little nephew really doesn't know anything about the government. And on this big law, the little nephew still knows nothing. When a joke is made, Shi Boxiu will laugh shamefully. According to the foolish imagination of the little nephew, this murder case is nothing more than the words 'murder pays for life'. ”

Lu Bing smiled slightly, as if he was talking in detail, and talked about the disposition of the court today.

This assassination of officials is not only a rebellious act hated by the Ming Dynasty, but also a first-class taboo in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. Because it breaks the customary rules of the game in officialdom.

Usually, these officials and bigwigs have a net worth and status, and they have to pay attention to a routine when wrestling their wrists. Even if there are conflicts of interest, political enemies of each other, and opposition to each other, the main thing is to attack each other in the court, impeach each other, look for each other's flaws, and pursue a fatal blow. Naturally, there are many conspiracies and tricks such as slander, spreading rumors to confuse the public, creating something out of nothing, and killing people with a knife, but everyone abides by a bottom line, that is, assassination cannot be used.

The so-called sergeant kills with a pen, a sergeant kills with a tongue, and a corporal kills with a stone plate. Assassination, in the eyes of these civil servants who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and who are full of splendid articles, is really an unacceptable and indiscriminate means. Once this method is used, it becomes a public enemy above the court. It can be said that regardless of the faction or position, the whole group is united in discussing it, just because this kind of behavior violates the bottom line. And if this method is not crusaded, then it is Yan Song who will be assassinated today, and who will be assassinated tomorrow? Each other plays this tactic, is this a court fight, or is it a hooligan land grab?

Therefore, this time the Yan family encountered an assassin, and the court handled it with unprecedented unanimous caliber: it must be severely punished. Whether it is a member of the Yan family, a neutral, or a person who disagrees with the Yan family, including sympathizers who may be Xia Yan and Zeng Miao, they all rarely hold the same view.

In this way, it didn't take much to make a statute: the main culprits Hong Ji and Mo Huaigu were executed in Ling Chi, and the rest of those who followed the assassination into the Yan Mansion were sentenced to beheading. Hong Ji and the following cadres committed crimes, and found that the men in the family were all sent to be slaves to meritorious people, and the women were not admitted to the church. Of course, the only family members that can be found now are the wives and concubines of Mo Huaigu, whose family is in Beijing. The families of Hongji and others also had to be searched and arrested by Jinyiwei and various state capitals.

Zhu Xizhong, Lu Bing, and others, who were responsible for the security of the capital, were all fined for three months as punishment.

Hearing this, Yan Hong hurriedly surrendered his hand: "I'm sorry Shibo, the little nephew only wants to catch them all, but he has affected Shibo." ”

Lu Bing Ha smiled: "Ha Luha, don't make fun of the nephew." If you hadn't seen through the chaotic party, you would have really let the night of Hongji's elite soldiers kill in Yan's mansion with spears and knives; Or maybe it's not for you to work hard to protect and let Mrs. Ouyang have something wrong, I'm afraid that Lu will not just punish him with a salary. ”

Yan Hong said: "Shi Bo praised it. After all, I was very proud in my heart, and my face was a little radiant.

Lu Bing then restrained his smile and said: "Today, Lu Mou retired first in the court, and before Yuanfu and Xiaoge Lao returned home, he came to visit the virtuous nephew, but instead of chatting with the virtuous nephew, he asked for something. ”

As soon as Yan Hong heard the word "seeking", he knew that it was not a good thing. He also said solemnly: "Shibo has something to say, just open his mouth to command, how can he ask for words?" ”

Lu Bingdao: "It's not easy to do this, but it's really a reluctant invitation." Mo Huaigu, who is a hundred households in brocade clothes, is my confidant and favorite general. Now he colluded with the party and entered the house to commit murder, but he didn't know what to do with his nephew? ”

Yan Hong said: "Each is his master, this is also a helpless thing." Since he can't withstand my grandmother's Hongfu and eats people to hold it, then he will eat a thousand knives on the execution ground, and no one will save him. ”

Lu Bing said: "Ah." Although Mo Huaigu is said to be my favorite general, who let him be blinded by lard and stab Yuanfu, the crime is unforgivable, this is nothing to say. It's just that this person's wife, children, and family, what do the virtuous nephews think? ”
