Chapter 1 Barricades and robberies

Next Chapter

As night fell, a small green sedan chair carried by four people walked on Qianmen Street.

"Robbery!"

Suddenly, four masked men swaggered out from one side, led by the one with a steel knife in his hand, pointing at the sedan chair and shouting: "Stop, rob!" ”

The sedan chair man was as timid as a mouse, and immediately scattered birds and beasts, and there were pedestrians on the street, who were so frightened by this situation that they ran away with their heads in their hands, leaving only a lonely sedan chair thrown there, pitiful.

"Well, I opened this road, I planted this tree, and I wanted to start from the ......" before he finished reading the words, and someone next to him interrupted:

"Phew, sixth master, how can there be a tree."

"I said that there is, what is it, in the sedan chair, come out, and hand over everything hanging on your body and the teeth in your arms to the master."

It is not ordinary people who can sit in a sedan chair in the capital, and the imperial court stipulates that Beijing officials have more than three grades, "silver is used for the top of the court, and soap is used for the curtain", "there are four people in Beijing and eight people out of Beijing". Local governors and governors can use eight sedan chair drivers, raise a sedan chair and raise a sedan chair man, and get a thousand taels of silver a year. How fresh. It's not completely dark yet!

"Sensei and he are verbose, come out." Someone rudely reached out to grab someone in the sedan chair, but before his hand reached it, the sedan curtain was thrown to the side, and a black face was revealed.

The man who came out of the sedan chair was only in his twenties, with a small dark face and a ...... Hey, that's not right, this person is wearing a military attache costume, not a third-grade officer.

The gentleman who was called the sixth master pointed at him and scolded: "Black boy, you are so energetic, you dare to sit in a sedan chair as a six-rank military attachΓ©?" ”

The man who came out nodded: "It seems that you are very familiar with the imperial decrees. ”

"That's ......" The sixth master shook his head, and then thought about it wrong, "Don't be wordy, rob, and hand over all the valuable things." ”

"What if I don't give it?"

"How fresh, if you don't give it, you'll be beaten."

Another masked man brandished a steel knife, his voice exuding excitement.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone actually blocked the road and robbed him, take it!" The black-faced military attache pulled out his shoulder knife and waved it, and the sixth master sneered: "Little thief, a master like you will beat you eight by one!" ”

Before the words fell, Hulala ran out of the shops on both sides of the dozen soldiers with waist swords and full armor, and a masked man shouted: "The wind is tight, let's talk about it." ”

The four of them turned around and ran.

The sixth master ran out of the distance in one breath, holding an old locust tree with a crooked neck and panting heavily.

Looking back, the black boy had caught up, the sixth master pulled out his legs and wanted to run again, I don't know what the black boy took out from his arms, as soon as he raised his hand, the thing was in the middle of the sixth master's leg, and the sixth master knelt on the ground, calling out in his mouth: "Okay, you...... You ......" Before you finished speaking, the masked towel was torn off by the black boy, revealing a face as white as jade, and the black boy sneered: "Little white face, no good eyes, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me." ”

"Phew, you're jealous."

The sixth master took a sip, and the black boy dodged: "Stand up and follow me to the Admiral's Yamen." ”

The sixth master snorted and laughed: "We are joking, we haven't robbed a total of ten taels of silver for three days, and today I am thinking about a Beijing official, it's boring, the master won't play." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left, and when he stepped out, he sore in his knees.

The sixth master turned around, glanced at the black boy, and said hatefully: "You play yin, dare to black Lao Tzu." ”

The black boy looked disdainful: "Don't send me a secret autumn wave, I'm not a good little girl." ”

The sixth master almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, stretched out his hand and pointed at the black boy, you couldn't speak for a long time.

The black boy stepped forward, and without saying a word, he removed the arms of the sixth master with a click, and this time the person injured his knees and dislocated his arms, so he couldn't run or fight, so he could only be pushed and walked by the black boy.

"Haha, General Luo, the main culprit has been caught!" The people from the Ti Prefecture had already come up with a smile, "The Son of Heaven dares to block the road and rob at his feet, and you deserve to be killed." ”

The sixth master was lame, his arm couldn't move, and he said stiffly: "I'm your sixth master." ”

The onlookers sneered: "You dare to call me a master for this virtue, give me a beating." As he spoke, a soldier rounded his arms and ears and was about to whip people.

The sixth master stepped back: "I am really the sixth master, I am longevity." ”

People increase wealth and longevity. Are you coughing?

The black boy glanced at the sixth master's increasingly pale face, and said in a low voice: "Let's take the prisoner to the yamen first, and see how long he can be hard-mouthed." ”

When the Nine Gates Admiral Fan handed over the sign, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Prince Cheng were blushing and having a thick neck.

"Lord Cen is a minister of the humerus, a scholar for generations, and his younger brother must not do such a deceitful and rebellious thing to the court."

Prince Makoto shook his head again and again.

The Empress Dowager of the West Palace sneered: "King Cheng is going to protect Cen Jiu?" ”

"I don't dare."

"Don't dare? I see you're very bold. ”

Seeing that things were not good, the Empress Dowager Dong closed the mud on the side: "It's better to leave these impeachment folds in the middle and wait." ”

The Empress Dowager Dong shook her head: "Sister, wait a little longer, the thief's treasures will be all removed by Cen Jiu, money is a trivial matter, let go of that little traitor, it will be a big trouble in the future." ”

"Lord Cen will not let go of the thief chieftain, don't worry." Prince Cheng is also unrelenting.

The Empress Dowager Xi is actually just bluffing, now that Jiangnan has just been pacified, and the army is in the hands of the Cen family, she really summoned Cen Guopu back with a holy decree, which is likely to provoke a mutiny, she is just angry and has nowhere to spill, and deliberately has a bar with Prince Cheng. Seeing the smell of gunpowder, the Empress Dowager Dong's eyes rolled around, and when she saw the chief eunuch standing at the door, she was looking up, so she beckoned: "You come here, but there is something urgent?" ”

The eunuch took small steps, like flowing water, and walked steadily: "Empress Dowager Bing, Lord Fan, the commander of the Nine Gates, asks to see." ”

The Empress Dowager Xi waved her hand: "No, there is no need to add to the chaos." ”

The Empress Dowager Dong was pleasant: "What is he doing here?" ”

"If you say it's an important matter, you must meet the Queen Mother."

After the eunuch finished speaking, he took two steps back and stood to the side with his hands down.

The Empress Dowager Dong persuaded in a low voice: "This is a major event in Gyeonggi, let's see it." ”

The Empress Dowager Xi snorted, and her face was stable. The Empress Dowager said, "Pass it on." ”

The Admiral of the Nine Gates came in and asked for peace first, and glanced at Prince Cheng with a complicated expression.

This glance was being seen by the Empress Dowager Xi, and she was secretly happy in her heart: "Master Fan, what is the matter?" ”

"In the past half a month, there have been many robberies in the capital, and the minister led people to catch the culprit today."

The Empress Dowager Dong was stunned for a moment: "Just for this little thing." ”

Empress Dowager Xi smiled: "Sister, listen to what he says, Master Fan, who is the culprit, why do you keep looking at Prince Cheng." ”

The Admiral of the Nine Gates could only stubbornly answer: "They are all children of the clan, and the leader is the sixth master of King Cheng's mansion, and he also caught the youngest son of the Chengen family, and ......."

The Empress Dowager sighed in her heart: "Stop, which Chengen Gong?" ”

Admiral Jiumen's head drooped even lower: "It's the young son of Old Master Miao." ”

The air seemed to be stagnant, and sweat oozed from the forehead of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and he didn't dare to wipe it in front of the queen, and the oil and sweat were itchy and very uncomfortable.

After a long while, the voice of the Empress Dowager Xi came coldly: "Keep talking." ”
