Chapter 241: King Jing'an Arrives
Seeing that they were about to meet each other, even the officials stepped forward, intending to capture the people.
Xu Chu's footsteps moved slightly, wanting to step forward to stop her, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Xiao Qinglang give her a look.
She was stunned for a moment when she heard a rush of pace outside the hall.
"When I heard that Liu's Mansion was holding a banquet, I thought that I might not have appeared in front of people for a long time, so I came uninvited to have a lively time with my colleagues. Lord Liu shouldn't be unwelcome. ”
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first. Then, Xu Chu saw an old man over fifty years old pacing energetically.
Xu Chu instantly understood what Xiao Qinglang meant just now, it turned out that he had already thought of a countermeasure. In this Hongmen banquet, even if there is no fatality but an incident on the side, Xu Qinhe and others will come to solve the siege.
Thinking of this, her heart gradually let go, and she only looked at that Master Xu quietly.
Dressed in a dark brocade robe, a dark blue waist seal, and a somewhat faded purse, there was nothing extra on his body. It can be seen that because of years of house arrest, he is a little emaciated. Xu Chu thought about it carefully, if he fell into his situation and had no way to ask for help for many years, he would probably lose his fighting spirit if he didn't collapse. However, in a very short period of time, this adult has regained his former demeanor and methods, and the firmness of his mind can be seen.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Chu had a lot of respect for him.
Obviously, he has been quite tired in the past few days, so even though his face is neat, it is difficult to hide his fatigue and dark eyes.
If it is said that Song Derong is a little childish, he has a narrow vision. Fake Liu Rangmo is scheming, and his eyebrows are full of calculating words. Then this Xu Qinhe gives people the feeling that it is completely different, and his gestures are like a spring breeze.
His eyes glanced at Xiao Qinglang, who was besieged and embarrassed, and saw that he was no different, so he smiled again: "I don't know why Lord Liu is so excited?" ”
Seeing Xu Qinhe's arrival, Liu Rangmo inevitably showed a gloomy expression on his face. Even those officials and merchants who were attached to him couldn't help but be silent at this time.
Xu Qinhe is not something they can win over, otherwise Lord Liu would not have such a headache. What's more, it is not an exaggeration that he and Lord Liu can be said to be enemies, and Lord Liu wants to replace him, which is known to passers-by.
Everyone thought that everything was under the control of Lord Liu, but they didn't expect that Xu Qinhe suddenly recovered from his illness some time ago and went out of the house. And within a few days, the eyeliner nails up and down the Xu Mansion were pulled clean.
Partially, everyone was hindered by the so-called old people who passed by with troops around him, as well as Lord Yuan, who attached great importance to the officialdom of Jinzhou City, and did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Liu Rangmo glanced at Song Derong and bowed slightly. Although Song Derong was stunned, he also knew that now they were completely grasshoppers tied to a rope, and others couldn't get out, so he would definitely not be able to protect himself.
So, he could only bite the bullet, stepped forward with indignation and said: "My lord doesn't know, this Zhou Yunlang seems to be a weak scholar, but in fact he is very cruel. At the banquet today, the prince of the Wei family only sarcastically said a few words to him, and he killed people. ”
"Now there are all human and material evidence, and he cannot deny it. Therefore, Liu Dacai ordered people to arrest him. ”
Xu Qinhe's eyes fluctuated slightly, but it was only for a moment, and he regained his calm. It's as if the surprise and astonishment just now had never appeared.
He bowed his head and said, "Since this is the case, the official should not stop it." It's just that the official knows that there is a very famous servant present, since she has encountered a life lawsuit, wouldn't it be a pity not to let her come out for inspection? ”
"What do you mean, sir? The subordinates had already asked the yamen to inspect it, and it was indeed a short knife that stabbed him in the heart, and he died on the spot. Liu Rangmo's expression was a little fierce, and he didn't want Xu Qinhe to get involved now.
However, Xu Qinhe waved his hand as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words: "What kind of work is not as convincing as the work specially commended by the Three Law Divisions, what does Lord Liu think?" ”
Liu Rangmo's brows furrowed, he didn't know that there was a man in Jinzhou City who had won the award of the Three Law Divisions. You must know that the three law divisions rarely reward people, and even if they do, most of them will stay in the capital for the use of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department or the inner court.
"There was only one person present, and as a woman, she became a maid registered by the yamen. And because of the well-known case of Mrs. Qian's violent death in Yunzhou City, the murder case of the Five Elements Evil Ghost, and the white bone case and red makeup case of the Furong Inn, he has been praised by the Criminal Department many times. Coincidentally, a few days ago, the commendation document written by King Jing'an, who was in charge of the three law divisions, also arrived at the yamen of the prefect of Jinzhou City. Xu Qinhe said, he reached out and took a document from the entourage behind him, looked at Xu Chu with a smile, and said with an amiable and fearful expression, "You said yes, Yin Si female judge, Miss Xu Chuxu?" ”
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, nodded calmly, but did not speak rashly.
"I heard that the official of the administrative office who passed the message said that the prince intends to ask for the official position of a third-grade female inspector for the girl, and if it is really done, then the girl will also become my colleague." Xu Qinhe's eyes were like torches, with a hint of curiosity, but more of a gratification.
Although this matter has the meaning of Si Chen, but it can solve the predicament of Jinzhou City, and can also expose the conspiracy behind those people one by one, this Miss Xu has contributed a lot.
After experiencing being imprisoned, and seeing the officials in Jinzhou City being impersonated without exception, and being bribed and co-opted to become the lackeys of that mysterious person, his mind has long been more accepting of things that go against common sense than ordinary people.
It can be said that after he knew that those people were secretly mining mines, making a lot of money, and also producing weapons and explosives. He once fell into deep remorse and blame, especially after knowing that the fake Liu Rangmo and Song Derong actually colluded with the foreign enemy Nanban through Cao Yun and sea transportation, he hated it to death.
Later, he also thought that as long as someone could expose the darkness under this prosperous world, he would be willing to serve that person as a benefactor and visit him every day.
However, year or two, even his hopes have become despair, and no one has succeeded.
Just a few days ago, someone suddenly appeared out of thin air and secretly rescued him with the seal of King Jing'an. The decoction that once made him groggy all day long was replaced with a medicinal juice to nourish his body. The people who once made him jealous were also controlled by the people of Jing'an Palace.
And in the end, what completely reassured him was the appearance of these generals who had heavy troops but were loyal to the royal family.
With them fighting with the guards around them who had fought on the battlefield, he not only completely got rid of the control of Liu Rangmo and others, but also personally disposed of the subordinates and nails in the mansion who had trapped him for many years.
As for those nails, naturally, they went where they were supposed to go. After all, the prefect has been in control for many years, and no one will believe them to say that they don't know anything about what they are doing. And prying open the mouth of a dead soldier who was not raised since childhood is not difficult for the people around King Jing'an.
With this experience of more than ten years of life is better than death, and there is no hope but still holding on, Xu Qinhe has great gratitude and admiration for Xu Chu, a soldier who poked at the conspiracy of Jinzhou City without blood.
You must know that in the end, his greatest hope is that after the conspiracy of Jinzhou City is exposed, the imperial court will send a large army to encircle and suppress it. When the time comes, these fake officials, as well as the resources and troops in their hands, will naturally be wiped out.
It's just that the people will inevitably be affected and their lives will be devastated......
In such a comparison, Xu Chu's appearance as a woman does not seem to be an unacceptable thing compared to the situation where the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment.
The more he thought about it, the more kind his attitude towards Xu Chu became.
"If Miss Xu has no opinion, can you help this official examine the body of the Wei family's son?"
Xu Chu nodded, and after saluting, he responded lightly, "The autopsy is my duty, and I naturally won't shirk it." ”
But before her words fell, she heard someone on the side say in a loud voice: "This must not be done." ”
"My lord, this little lady is here with Zhou Yunlang, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't make a false autopsy conclusion in order to cover up the suspect."
Up to now, if the people present still can't see that Xu Chu and Zhou Yunlang are Xu Qinhe's people, then they have been in the officialdom for more than ten years.
Don't say anything else, just talk about Xu Chu, but it's enough to wake them up. You must know that the Furong Inn and the annex used to attract officials, as well as the fine Rui Niang, who has been cultivated for many years and finally placed by King Jing'an's side, are all folded in her hands.
Liu Rangmo and Song Derong suddenly frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in their hearts.
If she is Xu Chu, then ...... Who will Zhou Yunlang be?
Who else can hide from the world, prepare all the household registration information retained by the household department, and even hide the hidden pile arranged by Rong Gong and Rong Gong in the household department, except for King Jing'an?
Obviously, Xu Qinhe didn't want to disappoint a few of them, so he turned around and looked at Xiao Qinglang respectfully and saluted: "Xu Qinhe, the prefect of Jinzhou, has seen the prince. ”
When the sentence was settled, everyone looked at each other in an instant, and they stood in place in amazement and didn't know what to do.
Even the merchants and eunuchs in Jinzhou City who were present had never been involved in court politics and official affairs, but they were no strangers to the two princes of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
King Qi guarded the border for 20 years and was a well-deserved god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
King Jing'an is in charge of the world's prisons, and since he took over the three law divisions, don't say that they are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if they are hooligans and scoundrels in the streets and alleys, they must be afraid of three points. It is said that after his eyes have been examined, the crimes of those people will be seen through without exception.
And now it seems that if they don't think about the true identity of Zhou Yunlang this week, they must be the King of Jing'an.
Thinking of this, the people who had just been angry with the enemy and wanted to show their faces in front of Lord Liu and Lord Song instantly wilted, and they no longer dared to be arrogant. Instead, he respectfully followed Xu Qinhe and knelt on the ground and saluted.
Xiao Qinglang's gaze swept over everyone without any fluctuations, and finally landed on Liu Rangmo and Song Derong, who were frozen in place, and sneered: "What, Lord Liu and Lord Song still have any doubts about the identity of this king?" ”
