Chapter 373: The capital
At night, the snow is flying, and the four parts of the capital have been dyed with a layer of white, which makes this ancient city have some different charm.
In a house in the capital, the lights are still on.
The weather was very cold, but at this time, the heart of Xiong Kitahara, the squire of the military department, was even colder.
At this time, there was a young man sitting in front of him, who was still holding a folding fan in the cold day, and was looking at him with a smile.
"Do you know who I am?" Xiong Beiyuan stared at the young man with a pair of eyes and said coldly.
"Wei Guozheng's second-rank official, Xiong Beiyuan, the squire of the military department, Xiong Zongqi's biological father, a scum who cheated on his brother's wife." The young man knocked on the folding fan in his hand and said slowly.
Hearing his words, Xiong Beiyuan's expression became a little colder, and he slowly stood up, and his body couldn't help but exude an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
"And who are you?" He stared at the young man and asked slowly.
The young man smiled and said, "Me? My father is the county magistrate of Mengting County, Qipin. And I, my name is Zhang Yuan, and I am a candidate for this year's entrance examination. ”
"Seven pins? Lift people? Xiong Beiyuan's face showed anger and scolded: "Then you dare to threaten me? What kind of thing is your dad? What are you? You're looking for death! Believe it or not, I can make your family die! ”
"Tut-tut......" Zhang Yuan shook his head with a smile, then unfolded the folding fan, fanning the wind, and said: "Lord Xiong, I'm not a thing, I'm the one who can take your life." ”
That is, when his words fell, the door slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in from the darkness and looked at Xiong Beiyuan coldly.
"Mo Qiubai?!" When Xiong Beiyuan saw this person, his face changed, and his face showed a look of horror.
This person he knew, he was the most famous grandmaster in the capital recently, and he was also one of the most powerful grandmasters in the whole world.
It's just that he would never have thought that Mo Qiubai would still come to his house, and it seemed that he was still obeying the young man's orders.
And this person was indeed able to kill him in an instant.
"Mo Qiubai, do you want to rebel?" Xiong Beiyuan showed anger on his face and shouted in a low voice.
His voice was so loud that even if Mo Qiu heard it, his face changed.
"It's not him who rebels, it's you." Before Mo Qiubai could speak, Zhang Yuan suddenly laughed? The folding fan was put away.
"Nonsense!" Xiong Kitahara frowned? Said coldly.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry? Took a piece of paper out of his sleeve and put it on the table? smiled: "Yes, you didn't do anything to be sorry for Wei State?" But your father-in-law used your power and trade with distant countries to sell salt and iron privately? DID YOU KNOW? Betraying the country to the enemy country without permission is a capital crime to exterminate the nine clans! You won't be spared! ”
Xiong Beiyuan's face changed when he heard this, so he walked quickly to Zhang Yuan, picked up the paper, and looked down.
And the more you look? The whiter his face? In the end, there was no face.
In this piece of paper, all the evidence of his father-in-law's guilt was there, and he could see at a glance that every one of them was true and there was no element of fraud.
"Listen to me? Be my subordinate, make sure your whole family is okay. "Zhang Yuan stood up? Close to Xiong Beiyuan's ear, he whispered.
Hear him? Xiong Beiyuan's face immediately turned red, and then he glared at Zhang Yuan and said, "Impossible? Even if I am exterminated, my family will be raided? It is also impossible to betray the interests of the imperial court. ”
Naturally, he can know? This person must be detrimental to the imperial court, otherwise what would he do if he was threatened with a second-grade official?
"Hey...... Lord Xiong is really brave and loyal, and Zhang admires it. Hearing this, Zhang Yuan shook his head and sighed, and then said with a smile: "But do you know that after you die, no one will know your bravery and loyalty."
Your whole family will be killed, and you also have a reputation for cheating with your brother's wife, you are estimated to be like Zhao Wuqi, the son of the Marquis of the Northwest, who will be remembered in your heart and your name will remain for 10,000 years. ”
At this, he shook his head and sighed, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"You ......" Xiong Beiyuan's face was blue and pale, he naturally knew about Zhao Wuqi, and the reason why Zhao Wuqi was remembered was because he did a stupid thing and smashed the head of the eldest prince, so that people remembered it for so long.
If what he and his sister-in-law did in the future is also recorded in history, it will be a stench for 10,000 years, and anyone may use this matter as a talking point.
Mo Qiubai's face on the side became very strange, he heard about this matter from the beginning to the end, but he also knew that this Xiong Beiyuan was a real loyal and patriotic person, and if this loyal and patriotic person was recorded in the annals as a person who betrayed the country and had an affair with his brother and sister-in-law, it would really be a big joke in the world.
At the same time, he felt a little chill in his heart, this scholar is so poisonous!
"Lord Xiong, you choose, do you want your whole family to be killed and you will be stigmatized, or do you want to cooperate with me and get rich for a lifetime?" Zhang Yuan sat down, took a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said slowly.
Xiong Beiyuan gritted his teeth, his heart was cold, although this scholar spoke slowly, but every word he said was like a needle, piercing his heart fiercely.
"What do you want me to do?" He said in a trembling voice.
Hearing his words, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small thing, I hope you can advance the progress of the following martial arts divisions, and let Mo Jiansheng become the dean of the martial academy, you just do what you do." ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve again and put it on the table, and then walked out with Mo Qiubai.
After waiting for them to leave, Xiong Beiyuan picked up the paper from the table and looked at the words on it, his face constantly changing.
"What the hell are you going to do?" He muttered to himself.
This martial arts academy was recently proposed by an official to allow the imperial court to systematically train martial arts masters.
When this proposal came out, he still thought it was a good thing, but now, he feels that this matter is completely prepared for Mo Qiubai.
At this time, he also suddenly felt that the time when Mo Qiubai became famous was too coincidental, and it happened to be in the capital.
This plan has actually started a long time ago, and he is just a chess piece.
"Chess pieces?" Xiong Beiyuan sneered, walked to the study, and began to pick up the pen.
What he used to do, as long as the person died, then there was nothing left.
His brother can die, his sister-in-law can also die, as for his illegitimate son, it is indeed a pity, but if it blocks his future, then he should also die.
Moreover, he has no feelings for this bastard.
As for what his father-in-law did, it would be easier to do, but it was not impossible to erase the traces, after all, he had never participated in this matter, and it would definitely be a merit to kill his relatives in righteousness at that time.
"You're still too tender." Xiong Beiyuan muttered in a low voice as he wrote the letter.
At this time, his eyes were full of killing intent, he had worked hard for most of his life, and he was about to become the secretary of the military department, how could he do such a stupid thing.
And when he was writing the letter, Zhang Yuan and Mo Qiubai had already walked to the courtyard of the Xiong Mansion.
On the way, Mo Qiubai had a look of hesitation on his face, and then hesitated: "Gongzi Zhang, I heard that my son once had a misunderstanding with you in Zetian Mansion?" ”
Hearing Mo Qiubai's words, Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, shook his head and smiled: "Yes, there is, but it's just a child's play, I didn't take it to heart, and you don't need to take it to heart, just let this matter pass." ”
When Mo Qiubai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then hurriedly said: "Gongzi Zhang, I will definitely follow your instructions in the future." ”
He was also scared to death just now, although this scholar was an ordinary person, before he entered the court, he had already played a second-class member of the imperial court.
If he provokes this kind of person, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well.
However, he was also relieved, this person was quite generous, and he did not continue to find trouble for himself.
"No need to do this, we are actually just doing things for the son, between you and me, there is no need to see each other like this." Zhang Yuan rubbed his thumb lightly on the folding fan and said in a low voice.
