Text Chapter 17 The General's Mansion is missing a ring
The next day, the entrance of the county government was crowded with victims who had come to receive relief food. The army lined up on both sides to maintain order.
Before the grain was released, there was a commotion in the ranks of the victims. Some of the young and energetic victims pushed women, children, and the infirm to the front. The officers and men who maintained order turned their spears around and pushed them behind with their spears, and the men shouted: "What kind of general? Don't believe their nonsense, everyone, and rob the food together!"
The victims did not know the truth, believed the truth, pushed and rushed forward together, trying to grab food, and the scene quickly got out of control. Wave after wave of victims rushed forward, and the frail ones in the line were pushed to the ground, trampled and cried.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Yun Yuexuan grabbed the red python and put it on the platform, and there was a loud bang, and the bluestone slab under his feet shattered in response, forming a big pit. The commotion of the crowd was suppressed by this momentum, and it fell silent. In addition to being shocked, the young victims in front of them still did not give up making trouble and continued to take the lead in rushing forward. The halberd of the Leaping Clouds drew an arc of light and shadow in the air, and after the light and shadow, a bloody human head rolled on the ground. Some people took advantage of the chaos and shouted: "The general has killed people! The general has killed innocent victims! Everyone rebelled together and killed this thug who killed the victims under the pretext of disaster relief." ”
After the shouting, the ranks of the victims were still silent, and no one dared to continue to rush forward. The young general stood on the stone platform with a halberd, shaped like a messenger from hell, exuding an inviolable majesty. The team of victims fell silent again, and Qi Yun Yuexuan ordered people to tie up the few people who were making trouble and take them to the stone platform.
Qi Yun Yuexuan squinted at those phoenix eyes and glanced at those people, the dangerous aura making them shudder. The person who took the lead in making trouble couldn't bear the pressure brought to him by Qi Yun Yuexuan, and immediately confessed that he was instructed by the county order and identified several accomplices. The men knelt on the ground and swallowed their heads like pounding garlic, begging for Qi Yun Yuexuan to forgive them, crying that they were also being coerced.
Many people were injured in the riots, including an elderly woman and three young children who were trampled to death. Qi Yun Yuexuan was very distressed, and ordered someone to supervise the readjustment of the team of the victims and distribute food as soon as possible. He secretly made up his mind that he would never let go of these corrupt officials. However, he still has important things to do, and he still has to go to Yanshan to see, where the disaster is also very serious.
When Qi Yun Yuexuan left, the victims of Yuliang were basically properly resettled, and the disaster situation was initially alleviated. The common people beat gongs and drums to see off Yun Yuexuan, and also sent a plaque with four big characters on it: the share of the country. Qi Yun Yuexuan felt ashamed, and in the shouts of "General Qi Yun is mighty", he tearfully hugged his fist to the people and solemnly took the plaque.
The disaster in Yanshan was not less severe than that in Yuliang, but local officials were shocked when they heard what Qi Yun Yuexuan had done in Yuliang. The frightened officials returned the stolen goods in advance and released the grain. When Qi Yun Yuexuan arrived, the problem was basically solved.
Qi Yun Yuexuan summoned all the local officials and ordered the scholars in the county government to record their confessions of embezzlement of money, and send them to Shangjing to present them to Yan Feng after the paintings.
After dealing with the disaster, Qi Yun Yuexuan returned to Fuling to continue to guard the town, and only after receiving Yan Feng's summons did he return to the court.
Yan Feng listened to Qi Yun Yuexuan's narration and pondered for a long time: "This is the battle they used to oppress, ask for bribes, privately behead court officials, and suppress the victims? After I personally sent someone to Yuliang and Yanshan to verify, I will deal with it according to the situation. During this period, General Qiyun still needed to lay down his military power and stand by in the capital. Qi Yun Yuexuan clenched his fists and received his life, and there was a sound of discussion in the court.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, a eunuch caught up with Qi Yun Yuexuan and said that the emperor was waiting in the imperial study to summon him.
In the imperial study, Yan Feng seemed to be distracted. Last night, Qi Yun Yuexuan took Murong Zhining away without permission, which made him a little annoyed. Qi Yun Yuexuan walked into the imperial study under the leadership of the eunuch, and after he greeted Yan Feng, he was given his seat by Yan Feng. The two sat side by side on the couch by the window, and the palace maid placed two cups of tea on the coffee table in the middle of the sitting.
Qi Yun Yuexuan and Yan Feng have been playing together since childhood, and he will not feel restrained in front of Yan Feng. He stood up and looked around curiously, and asked Yan Feng what was the matter with him summoning him?
Yan Feng wanted to speak again and again, and only said for a long time: "I heard that you took a palace maid from Minghui Palace yesterday. Qi Yun Yuexuan stared at a copper bottle and touched it: "A little palace maid, why did you let the emperor hang it?" In fact, if Yan Feng hadn't mentioned this matter, he had almost forgotten to take Murong Zhining away.
Yan Feng took a sip of tea: "Murong Zhining is not a palace maid, but a witness in a case, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to take her away privately?" Qi Yun Yuexuan stopped in front of a calligraphy and painting and watched carefully: "The last general heard about Zhuang Cheng's case, didn't the emperor execute him? Now that this case has been closed, it is not appropriate for Murong Zhining, a minion, to stay in the palace, and besides, the imperial concubine does not like her." It just so happens that the general's mansion lacks a ring, so it is better for the emperor to give her to the last general's slave. ”
Yan Feng said with a straight face: "No, if you lack a maid ring, I will personally pick a few palace maids to take away for you, and you can send Murong Zhining's girl back." Qi Yun Yuexuan heard the decisiveness in Yan Feng's words, and his words changed: "The emperor is so stingy, a slave is reluctant to give it to the last general." That's it, the last general heard that this servant has some opinions on the guqin, and it just so happens that there are some ancient scores in the last general's mansion that need to be sorted out, so I ask the emperor for permission to let her stay in the general's mansion and help me for a few days. When the ancient score is sorted out, she must be sent back. Yan Feng saw that his words had come to this, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to reluctantly agree. Yan Feng was very worried in his heart, he had always trusted Qi Yun Yuexuan very much, but this incident alone made him faintly uneasy.
When Qi Yun Yuexuan left the imperial study, he asked Yan Feng for permission to visit Qi Yun Wan in Minghui Palace, and Yan Feng nodded in approval.
Qi Yunwan was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, and when she heard the palace maid's report that Yun Yuexuan was coming to see her, she immediately ordered someone to welcome him in. Qi Yunwan was anxious to inquire about Qi Yun Yuexuan taking Murong Zhining away, and she wanted to know how Yan Feng would deal with this matter. Judging from her observation of Yan Feng's attitude towards Murong Zhining in the past few days, it is impossible for Yan Feng to ignore this matter. Qi Yunhuan didn't sleep all night last night, she was afraid that Yan Feng would never come to Minghui Palace again, and she was also afraid that Yan Feng would condemn Qi Yunyue Xuan for this incident.
Qi Yun Yuexuan told Qi Yunhuan about the conversation with Yan Feng in the imperial study, and Qi Yunwan was full of loss: "This palace knows that girl can't be touched, so you better send her back quickly, lest the emperor punish you." Qi Yun Yuexuan looked at the distant scenery with his eyes: "Sister doesn't have to worry about me, I have my own measure to handle this matter." The palace maids looked at Qi Yun Yuexuan in groups, pointing and whispering, their eyes full of admiration.
Murong Zhining sat in a side room in the General's Mansion, and she picked up a book on the table and flipped through it. Last night, Qi Yun Yuexuan brought her here and left without saying a word. Then a little girl came in and said that the general had ordered her to stay here for the time being. Food will be delivered by someone every day, she can go to the yard if she is bored, and she is not allowed to step out of the courtyard door half a step without an order.
This is a small independent courtyard with two wings on the west side of the General's Mansion, and the courtyard door is closed all day, and it is only opened when Yahuan delivers food. The courtyard is very small, the facilities are simple, there is only a small stone table and two small stone benches, and there are some flowers and plants that Murong Zhining can't name in the courtyard. Murong Zhining sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, her hand on the stone table and her cheek, silently thinking about her thoughts. She reached out and took out a piece of jade from the front placket, took it off, held it in her hand and stroked it carefully. Every time she encounters something unhappy, as long as she takes out Biwu to take a look, her mood will slowly improve.
At the beginning of the moon, the hazy moonlight sprinkled all over the small courtyard, and Murong Zhining, who was sitting alone, looked particularly lonely and lonely. A little girl came into the courtyard and lit the lantern in the courtyard, and Murong Zhining said to the little girl: "Please report to your general and say that I want to see him." The little girl glanced at her: "How can my general be seen if you want to? I heard the captain of the martial arts say that you have offended our mother in the palace." Stop a little, or you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”
The little girl closed the courtyard door heavily as she left. Murong Zhining took out Biwu again and played with it, she pointed Biwu at the moon, her eyes were on the jade leaf and looked at the moon, her head was dangling there, naughty her, in order to pass the time of boredom. Through Biwu, Murong Zhining looked at the green moon, a smile on the corner of her lips, she can always quickly make herself forget the troublesome things.
Suddenly, Murong Zhining noticed some small black spots on Biwu, she curiously took Biwu from her eyes, and looked at it carefully in the faint light of the lantern. The lighting was a little dim, and I couldn't see anything. She entered the room, and near the candlelight on the table, still unable to see the clue, she frustrated herself and hung Biwu back around her neck and carefully tucked it into the placket of her clothes.
There was a noise outside the courtyard gate, and Murong Zhining walked to the courtyard gate and looked out through the crack in the door. It turned out that Qi Yun Yuexuan drank too much wine, and several children of the family helped him back. The group talked as they walked into the courtyard to the east. A child of a family wearing a purple brocade robe had a thick voice and slurred speech: "General Qiyun is really powerful enough, that kid said that the general is charming, and he was beaten by the general several times and lay on the ground, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed for a month." Haha, I heard that the kid's father is Yuwei, the head of the household, and he is also a master who is not easy to mess with. ”
