The next morning, it was a cloudy day, although it was past the hour, but the sky was still not bright, and the whole Luoyang was shrouded in gray and weak light, which seemed lifeless.

After Qiu Yizhi finished grooming and dressing neatly, he called Captain Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao, and according to the instructions of the old owner of the inn yesterday, they came all the way to Dai Luanxiang's mansion.

The lintel of Dai Luanxiang's mansion is very wide, and there are two stone lions squatting at the door, and ten bells are falling on their chests, which is in line with the title of the master of the mansion.

Dai Luanxiang's title of "former general" is already the best official position among military generals, and he is often called "marshal", but after all, there is still one step away from the official canonization of the "marshal" rank of the imperial court, and the gap is worlds apart.

The most striking difference is that the "marshals" can personally control the military and political power, while the "generals" at all levels are still promoted by the military department. This is why Zheng Rong, who has been awarded the position of "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses", can send troops to rebel at any time, while Dai Luanxiang, the "former general", has to wait for the soldiers of the military department to lead the army.

Similarly, Dai Luanxiang, who did not have the title of "marshal", could not build a mansion in Guangyang City like Zheng Rong, and his mansion naturally had no soldiers on duty to guard it before.

So Qiu Yizhi calmly dismounted, walked to the door of Dai Luanxiang's mansion without hindrance, buckled the door knocker, and knocked the red lacquer door.

Soon after, a crack opened in the door, and out of the gap came a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, bowed to Qiu Yizhi and said, "This is Dai's mansion, I don't know what happened to this son?" ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that the young man who came to Yingmen revealed a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and thought that Dai Luanxiang was really different, and even the doorman raised in the house was also different. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "The lower official is the Lang official of the military department, and he wants to meet your old lady for something." ”

Qiu Yizhi had already inquired clearly before leaving the front line in Dengzhou: Dai Luanxiang has been a general for three generations, his grandfather and father have sacrificed their lives for the country, and his wife has died of illness the year before last, and only one is an old mother who is close to old age and has been appointed as a wife to preside over family affairs, and there is another daughter and a son in the family.

The young man who answered the door promised: "The military department has not come to visit my grandmother for a long time, please come in first, wait in the concierge for a while, and I will go and tell you!" ”

Qiu Yizhi suddenly realized - it turned out that Dai Mansion came to open the door, not some doorman servant, but Dai Luanxiang's youngest son, no wonder there was a bit of heroism between the eyebrows. It's just that this kid seems to lack some experience, and as soon as he heard that he was from the military department, he already believed in himself.

Sure enough, Dai Luanxiang's son had just transferred into the mansion, and he had come back in the blink of an eye, but he had a woman five or six years older than him behind him.

This woman has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and she looks quite similar to the young man next to her, and Qiu Yi guessed that this woman was Dai Luanxiang's daughter.

I saw that the woman was holding a sword, slightly arched her hand, and gave a military salute, but said: "Since this lord is from the military department, has he ever brought the military department's investigation?" "A look of neither humble nor arrogant, heroic and cool.

These words stunned Qiu Yizhi's question, and asked rhetorically: "It's just that my family sent me to ask about the living of Marshal Dai's family, and it's not military affairs, so I haven't heard that it will be used to investigate." ”

Dai Luanxiang's daughter still has an unsmiling expression: "My grandmother is the first emperor's edict and the imperial court's registered lady from the first grade, and she is also famous. The military department came to visit, and it has always been official business. This adult must have been newly transferred to the military department, and he didn't know why. Since this is the case, then it is not too late for Master Lao to work hard, go back to get the survey, and meet my grandmother again. ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that although she spoke tactfully, her attitude was extremely resolute, and there was no room for accommodation, and in broad daylight, it was inconvenient to break in, so she had to respond a few times and withdraw from Dai Luanxiang's mansion.

As soon as he left the house, Yu Chi Lianghong said to Qiu Yizhi with a smile: "The virtuous brother is resourceful and has no plans, but I didn't expect to touch a soft nail in front of this little girl, but it is rare." ”

Qiu Yi thought to herself: She had also suffered losses at the hands of Wen Lingjiao before, and she was often helpless against the county lord, so it seemed that she would have to pay more attention to dealing with women in the future.

So he settled down, sighed and said: "Marshal Dai has a good way to teach his son, and his reputation is well deserved, and his children are also heroes among people, and we can't enter the door openly during the day." Fortunately, Marshal Dai is very incorruptible, since it is the young master and young lady of Dai's Mansion who came to answer the door in person, presumably the guards at home have also gone to fight with the army, and it seems that they can only wait for the night to sneak ......"

At this moment, he suddenly saw a team of soldiers running in a panic in the distance, and it seemed to be coming towards Dai Luanxiang's mansion. Qiu Yizhi saw that the number of soldiers in this team was always around forty or fifty, all of them were bright and armed, and there was a faint murderous aura, so he hurriedly greeted Yu Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao and said: "The situation seems to have changed, let's dodge to the side first." ”

Yu Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao are both clever people, and when they heard Qiu Yizhi say this, they immediately followed him and hid behind a big locust tree on the side of the street, poked their heads out and looked at Dai's mansion.

This group of soldiers really came to Dai Mansion.

Qiu Yizhi and the other three saw from a distance that the leader knocked on the door, but he was not as gentle as himself, and without waiting for the door to be fully opened, he kicked the door open, leaving only two soldiers to watch the door, and rushed in with his subordinates, which looked very rude.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi shouted: "Not good", so he turned his head to Wei Chi Lianghong and said: "It must be the minions of the imperial court who want to be difficult for Marshal Dai's family!" I can't stand by and watch, so I ask my brother to take care of the two janitors, and I'll go in and help later!" ”

Wei Chi Lianghong hurriedly agreed, walked forward quickly, and the rabbit had already put down the soldiers who were guarding the door on the left and right. Qiu Yizhi and Zhao Chengxiao were also busy and quickly followed, entering the gate of Dai's mansion.

As soon as they entered the gate, the three of them were startled, only to see that there were already three or four court officers and soldiers lying on the ground, all of whom had broken their hands and feet, covering their sore spots and moaning. Looking up, on the blue brick path in the house, there were also more than a dozen soldiers lying on the ground who were also injured.

Qiu Yi thought to herself: Although she intends to teach these minions a lesson, she hasn't made a move yet, how can so many people be injured?

He felt strange when he saw it, but he didn't have time to ask them about the situation, so he walked briskly all the way forward in the direction where the court soldiers had fallen.

They kept bypassing the front hall and the middle hall, but they saw twenty or thirty court soldiers in front of the back hall, all armed with official swords. And facing this group of soldiers was nothing more than an old lady with a dragon head cane, and two young men with weapons, a man and a woman. There is no need to guess, you can know that this old and second child is Dai Luanxiang's mother and his children.

Qiu Yizhi also saw Dai Luanxiang's son Dai Song holding a whistle stick in his hand, and his daughter Yinping holding a sword, and her posture was also extraordinary-only then did she know that the Dai family was a family of Jiangmen, without a father and no dogs, and it must be strong in martial arts.

I only heard the loud voice of the mother, and said loudly: "My son Luan Xiang is serving the country on the front line, but you eagle dogs have listened to the rumors of a traitor who wants to persecute his family. Do you want to self-destruct the Great Wall? Aren't you afraid of chilling the morale of the front-line soldiers? ”

The leader of the soldiers wore a thousand general uniforms, separated the crowd, and replied, "It is not right for the old lady to say so. It's just that there have been some gossips in the government and the opposition recently, and we persuade Shansi to invite the old lady, oh, and Marshal Dai's two children, to ask for clarification! ”

Dai's mother glared at the man and said, "Hmph! It turned out to be the scum of the Quanshan Division, no wonder he was so arrogant. Tell you, the old man is wearing a decree from the imperial court, and if you want to pass on my question, you need the emperor's decree, even Zhongshu Province is not qualified to do so! Which brand is it on? Why talk to me! ”

"A fate?" The leader Qian Zong sneered and said, "We have persuaded the good division to catch too many of the officials of one product and two products." It's Prince Youyan, the son of the first emperor, the younger brother of Emperor Daxing, and the uncle of the emperor, we can also catch it! Give you a face and call you 'old lady', or give you face, I'll kill you 'old woman' now!" ”

Dai's mother has lived for almost seventy years, and she has seen many winds and waves, and the words of the general manager of the persuasion of Shansi Qian are like a chaotic wind in her ears, and she only heard her laugh twice and said: "Your ability to catch people is good, and the ability to release people is even better." Didn't the prince of Youyan dismantle the prison of the Criminal Department from under your noses, make trouble in the capital Luoyang, and break through Tongguan and return to Youyan Road? This thing is known to the whole world, why do you still have the face to brag about it on the old body's side? ”

The leader was so angry by Dai's mother's heart-wrenching ridicule that his face turned blue and purple for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

But I heard Dai's mother say again: "What kind of person is Prince Youyan? If it weren't for the old man's son blocking him in Henan for you, the prince would have captured the capital Luoyang and killed you dog thieves cleanly! Okay, you dog thieves don't know how to repay the favor, do you still want to bite back? ”

Mr. Qian, who was the leader of the Quanshan Division, was finally scolded by Dai's mother as a "dog thief", and regardless of his superiority and humility, he ordered his subordinates: "Don't listen to this old woman's nonsense, give it to me!" Get her! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, about twenty soldiers behind him slowly surrounded him with swords in their hands, wanting to commit murder. Seeing this, Dai Luanxiang's son and daughter held a whistle stick and a diagonal sword, and put on a posture to protect Dai's mother, and they wanted to fight them to the death.

Qiu Yizhi saw this scene from afar, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said to the two people around him: "It's not good, brother, Brother Zhao, hurry up and help them." ”

Wei Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao are both bloody men, and they can't see the most bully and bully the weak.

If you talk about martial arts, Wei Chi Lianghong alone can live up to the blow and defeat all the more than 20 soldiers of the persuasion division. Now that there is more Zhao Chengxiao as a helper, Dai Luanxiang's sons and daughters also took advantage of the situation to kill them, and before they could blink an eye, this group of soldiers who were still arrogant and arrogant in persuading the good division were already dead and wounded, and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Seeing that they had controlled the scene, Qiu Yizhi suddenly remembered that this was in the capital, next to the old nest of the Quanshan Division, and hurriedly ordered in a loud voice: "Quickly tie up this group of people together, gag their mouths, and can't let go of a messenger!" ”

Hearing this shout, Dai's mother followed the prestige, but she didn't have time to ask Qiu Yizhi's name, and also ordered: "This son is right!" Dai Song, Yinping, why don't you go and get the rope?! ”

Dai Luanxiang is a generational general, and some of his family are tied and bandaged ropes and bandages. Dai Song went into the house and took a bunch of them and distributed them to everyone, and then tied up the minions of Quanshan Si who were lying on the ground and had not yet lost their breath, and their mouths were full of sackcloth bandages.
