Chapter 106: Variables
The feminine voice outside the yatang naturally did not have much deterrent power, but when countless people in Tsing Yi fish suits rushed in with swords, this deterrent power was enough to make everyone dare not move.
No one expected such a change, the imperial envoy Li Gu's face was pale, and he couldn't see where these people came from, but when he saw the color of these people's clothes, he seemed to think of something, and his face changed suddenly, and he was suddenly blank.
Suddenly, there was another variable, which made Li Gu feel a little frightened in his heart.
Immediately, under the support of a group of officials, a red-robed eunuch walked in, although he was in his forties, his complexion was fair, and he was fat, and there was not the slightest wrinkle on his face. The big red robe on his body does not match his figure, which makes people feel funny at first glance, but if you look at it a few times, you can find that there is a bit of self-arrogance and majesty between his eyes.
The corners of his mouth are always outlined in an arc, like Maitreya who is always smiling, and when he appeared, both Li Gu and Xu Qian seemed to have lost their brilliance, and everyone's eyes naturally converged on this eunuch.
This person, Xu Qian recognized, it was Huang Jin.
Huang Jin smiled and put his hands behind his back, but his eyes did not fall on Xu Qian's body, he just glanced at everyone, wrinkled his nose slightly, took out the towel around his waist to wipe his shiny forehead, and then sighed.
"I rushed all the way from Beijing to Hangzhou, I thought I could take a break, who knew that Beijing was full of moths, and the same is true of Hangzhou, our family is working hard, and our legs are going to be broken, and we don't even have herbal tea."
His relaxed and comfortable self-deprecation made people speechless, everyone is on the rise, what are you running for? Under normal circumstances, this kind of person belongs to the type of under-beaten, but no one dares to beat him, even the imperial envoy Li Gu, who is arrogant to the extreme, but he never dares to pluck a single hair of him, and he doesn't even dare to think about it.
Huang Jin cocked his orchid finger, which pointed at Li Gu, and then said with a smile: "You are Li Gu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" We know you. ”
Li Gu had a gloomy face, he was a Qingliu official, and he wouldn't get too close to the eunuch, but at this time, he had to get up and arch his hand: "I've seen my father-in-law." ”
Huang Jin said: "No courtesy." Immediately, his eyes fell on Xu Qian's body again, and said, "I heard that your father is also here, I don't know which one it is?" ”
Xu Qian pulled his father to give Huang Jin a gift, Xu Chang saw this Huang Jin, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The villain has seen his father-in-law." ”
Huang Jin looked Xu Chang up and down with his hands behind his back and said: "Don't call yourself a villain, you must call yourself inferior, the hierarchy in the East Factory is strict, and you can't be sloppy at all, you have to remember clearly." ”
Xu Chang has been in the rivers and lakes for most of his life, and if he doesn't understand the implication, he should hit the wall and die, he hurriedly said: "Yes, I have seen my father-in-law in my humble manner." ”
Huang Jin stretched out his hand, grabbed Xu Chang and said with a smile: "If you have a son like this, his father must be a tiger and wolf, our family is in ruins, and we need a virtuous person like you, in a few days, you will enter Beijing with our family." ”
The Dongchang factory duke personally invited him to Beijing to work in the Dongchang, which was a great gift to Xu Chang, Xu Chang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Obey the order." ”
Huang Jin smiled, calmly accepted Xu Chang's gift, and then looked at Xu Qian, and said with a straight face: "As a loyal and good son, why did you storm the official mansion and collide with the imperial envoy?" ”
The tone of the four words of Zhongliang is very heavy, although the tone is harsh, as if he is reprimanding his juniors.
Xu Qian hurriedly said: "It's no wonder that the students are just following the instructions and coming to arrest the officials who have harmed the people." ”
Huang Jin raised his eyebrows, and it was rare to put on a stern face, but he was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking: "This young man, as much as the prince said, can really make trouble." ”
Huang Jin pinched his voice and said, "Arrest the officials? You're so bold, there is certainly this article in the edict, but what is the crime? Take another 10,000 steps back, even if you are charged, then you should report it to Yousi, you are a talent, but what is the mess? ”
Li Gu was a little wary of Huang Jin, especially when he saw Huang Jin and Xu Qian singing and harmonizing, he was even more suspicious, at this time he couldn't guess why Huang Jin went from Beijing and returned, but he knew that if he didn't keep quiet, he was afraid that there would be a danger of capsizing in the gutter, and the imperial envoy hurriedly said: "Huang Gonggong, after this Xu family pretended to be Zhongliang, he colluded with the household scribe to change the household registration without authorization, this is a big crime, the lower official is the provincial patrol, he dare not ignore it, and the evidence of this matter has been conclusive, and this Xu Qian saw that the matter was exposed, so he jumped off the wall in a hurry, It was so bold that he led his people to storm the government......"
Xu Qian sneered: "You said that after I pretended to be Zhongliang, what evidence do you have?" ”
Li Guzheng said: "The evidence is conclusive. ”
The two were about to argue, but Huang Jin smiled, sighed and said: "Our family is from the palace, I can't control and don't want to care about your messy things, you have to fight for yourself, but can you ask Master Li to let our family hand over the imperial mission first and then argue?" ”
Hearing the word Huangcha, where did Li Gu dare to slack off, his expression was suddenly solemn, and he said dignified and solemn: "Father-in-law, please." ”
Huang Jin clapped his hands with a smile, and then said, "Submit it." ”
From outside this yatang, a servant came in with a long box, his hands arched high, and presented it to Huang Jin.
Huang Jin took the long box, then opened the lock, took out a scroll from the long box, and then handed the scroll to Xu Qian, and said: "This is given to you by the emperor, the emperor heard that there is a talented man in Hangzhou, the article is well written, and the poems are good. Yes, that "Linjiang Immortal", His Majesty likes it very much, so I will make a book and reward you, I hope you can read well and don't insult the lintel. ”
Hearing that the emperor gave Mobao, the whole hall was shocked, the Xu family was stunned one by one, they only knew that Xu Qian was out, and now he had won the test, and he also worshiped the door wall of Xie Taibao, but no matter how rich their imagination was, they would not have thought that the emperor would be able to hear the name of this Qian'er, the old uncle trembled, and his excited eyes were about to roll, as for the others, either they were happy about it, or they were excited about it, not to mention Xu Chang on the side, the emperor ...... This is really unimaginable for him, who has been a small official all his life, but ......
"This man...... It's my son......" If it weren't for the presence of Huang's father-in-law, Xu Chang really wanted to shout this sentence all over the world immediately.
Xu Qian took the imperial ink treasure, carefully held it in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty is very kind, and it is difficult for students to repay their lives." ”
Huang Jin chuckled and said, "It's good that you know, it's okay, our family won't bother you, you can do whatever you want." He stretched lazily, looking disgusted by what was before him, and swaggered away with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Huang Jin left, all the servants naturally retreated.
Li Gu sat at the head of the case, Su County Ling sat on one side as usual, and the servants on both sides stood on the opposite side of the Xu family, and the hundreds of people from the Xu family filled the place.
It's just that at this time, everyone's minds are already very different.
Those retinue who are still going to do murder, at this time, they are like eggplants beaten by frost, they know no matter how stupid they are, these people in front of them are no longer ordinary grass people, as for what the other party is about, they can't guess it, but one thing is clear, then what Master Li just said is that he has something to do, but I am afraid that it may not be reliable.
Su Xian Ling is still watching from the wall, and he still refuses to stand up for anyone, but this state of mind has completely changed, he has his own view of right and wrong, but he doesn't want to join in the fun, so he still watches his good show.
The most embarrassing thing is Li Gu, Li Gu's mind is buzzing at the moment, what happened just now has he not come back to his senses, why did the emperor give him a letter? Is it really as Huang Gonggong said, it's just that the emperor appreciates the poetry of this guy? Or does it have a deeper meaning? Moreover, this Huang Gonggong said that he was not involved in this matter, what did this Huang Gonggong think?
The biggest problem is that where should I go, when it comes to this part, it is obvious that I can't give up, even if I am willing to give in, the Xu family is hard to guarantee that I won't bite back, it seems that ...... I can only force it.
"Yes, it is still a conviction now, as long as the crime is confirmed, you can still clean up this Xu Qian first, as for the emperor to lower the punishment, he is not afraid of anything, and maybe he can still be cleared by a righteous name when the time comes." He took a deep breath, and already had his own proposition under the difficulty of riding a tiger.
