Chapter Eighty-Six: A Born Pair
The black convoy was dotted with stars. Bright and official torches surrounded it, but the convoy was too long. Even though the official office of Dazhou City has already poured out of the city, the masters of the thirteen yamen from Kyoto, under the leadership of the three fathers-in-law of the inner court, can only cut off half of the convoy. There was no way to surround the entire convoy, but the officials kept their eyes on the imperial court. I'm not worried that this bloody man with the Qin belt will disappear from everyone's eyes.
However, no one dared to rush forward and grab Gundam like that. Because everyone felt a little strange, the man who was holding the imperial court. is obviously not an ordinary person, and the official uniform on his body makes everyone a little familiar.
The most important thing is the long black convoy. Although the style of the carriage looks very ordinary. But the convoy of more than 30 horse-drawn carriages in a row is not a stupid person who can see the scenery anytime and anywhere. You can also guess that there must be some big people in the team.
The officials of the thirteen yamen of the Criminal Department secretly took a sip and secretly said that they were unlucky. I didn't think of it. Outside the remote city of Dazhou, his party had just been extremely lucky, and finally caught the court criminals who had been secretly investigated by the imperial court for a long time. I actually ran into such a strange convoy.
The officials of the criminal department were not alarmed. Although they still don't know the identity of this train fleet for the time being, they are acting on the orders of the middle book of the sect, and they can be regarded as half an emperor, who dares to stop it in the whole world? Even if this black convoy is the princes and nobles of the court. However, it is impossible for the other party to make irresponsible remarks about the imperial court's action to arrest the Qin criminals.
The three fathers-in-law of the inner court came out of the crowd surrounded by torches, and the old eunuch in the first place squinted his eyes. Look at this strange convoy. looked at the court prisoners covered in blood. He was lying on the flat ground in front of the carriage. Several men in black official uniforms appeared to be treating him, and the dumb lady with a miserable white face was holding the child. He looked at the prisoner nervously.
The eyes of this inner court master narrowed, and the wings of his nose were slightly **. I felt a little surprised and uneasy. Because he easily recognized the people in the convoy in black uniforms. Which side is the strength of the exactly.
Under a battle. Gundam bravely rushed to the official road. and seriously injured two masters of the inner court, but he himself reached the end of the crossbow, and he actually wanted to protect the lady behind him and the child in his arms. There are many wounds on his body that should not have appeared.
This master of the inner court who presided over the arrest was also churning in his body, and he couldn't calm down for a while, he looked at the convoy in front of him. Frowning slightly. Naturally, he wasn't too arrogant, he was just a little scared.
As a master of the inner court. With the emperor's order, even if this train fleet is really a team of the Supervision Yuan, he has nothing to fear. Here's the problem. He didn't know that this train team was in the Supervision Yuan, and the most important thing was that today's imperial court wanted to arrest the Diqin criminal was Tiger Guard Gundam, and this person was Xiao Fan's cronies back then. If the people of the Supervision Yuan find out about this, if Lord Xiao Fan is in this train fleet......
The eunuch took a deep breath and walked slowly forward in the light of the torches. Facing the pure black carriage on the official road, he said in a rustling voice: "He Qigan of the inner court is ordered to arrest the Qin criminals. ”
He didn't ask the identity of the convoy first, but preemptively indicated his identity and intention, so that he did. If there is something wrong with the black convoy. The inner court also took the lead.
The masters of the thirteen yamen of the criminal department also gradually saw that something was wrong, and they were no longer as confident as before, but vigilantly scattered around the carriage, while the sergeants of the official office of Dazhou City were puzzled. These Kyoto gentlemen all have eyes on the top of their heads. Even in the face of that fierce tiger-like court criminal. And no one will take half a step back, how to face this black convoy. But so cautious?
"Prisoner?" The Inspectorate official who was crouching beside Gundam to look after his injuries suddenly frowned. Listen to these words of the eunuch of the inner court. A trace of extremely complicated emotions suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the unconscious Gundam. whispered to himself: "It turns out that you also slipped away back then." ”
The eunuch of the inner court did not receive a reply, but it was also expected by him, and the supervision court acted as expected. It has always been secretive, but once it is confronted by several major cardinals in the court. But it is extremely arrogant and arrogant. Although the Inner Court nominally has the function of supervising the Inspectorate. However, in Chen Pingping and Fan Xian. With the deliberate connivance of the two presidents before and after, the Supervision Yuan is not very afraid of the inner court, I don't know which adult in the convoy is in the court, but there is something important?" The eunuch of the inner court lowered his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Please hand over this prisoner to the inner court for handling." ”
There are more than 30 ground carriages, and I don't know how many official agents or important things they carry, but they can be qualified to let the Supervision Yuan pull out more than 30 specially made strange cars, if they are not particularly important people in the Protection Yuan. is in charge of an extremely important task, although this eunuch is a master of the inner court, but he does not want to affect the affairs of the supervision court, especially he is a little afraid, will he be extremely unlucky, so he met Lord Xiao Fan outside the city of Dazhou City.
The Inspectorate official who had been crouching beside Gundam slowly stood up. Greeted by the blinding light of the torches. Squinting at this master of the inner court, after being silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "This official is the deputy director of the Second Division of the Supervision Yuan. I would like to ask you to show your will. ”
The eunuch of the inner court suddenly twitched hotly on his forehead and temples. He didn't expect his group to reveal their identities. This Supervisory Yuan official even had to look at the will he carried with him.
The Supervisory Yuan is not afraid of the Inner Court. Naturally, the Inner Court will not be afraid of the Supervision Yuan, they are only afraid of the two presidents before and after the Supervision Yuan. Because the weight of these two presidents in front of His Majesty the Emperor is heavier than that of the entire inner court combined, they are in the weekday exchanges. The Inner Court was polite to the Supervisory Yuan. And the Supervisory Yuan is not willing to offend the Inner Court.
In a situation like today, this official of the Supervision Yuan actually said such a sentence, which is extremely arrogant. couldn't help but make the eunuchs in the inner court tremble, which was very different from the usual style of the Supervision Yuan. Is there really a ...... in the convoy
"The little grandfather can be in the convoy. Please let the old slave come forward and say goodbye. The eunuch of the inner court gritted his teeth, although the Supervision Yuan was powerful, he was not very afraid. It's just that I'm afraid that Lord Xiao Fan is really in the convoy, otherwise why is this official so indifferent and stubborn.
"The dean is running errands in Dongyi City. The Inspectorate official looked at him with a frown. It seemed that he didn't expect the other party to start the temptation so soon, and said indifferently: "Since everyone is doing things for the imperial court. I want to see your handprint, what's the problem?"
I heard that Fan Xian was not in the convoy. The inner court eunuch's heart calmed down suddenly. The Inspectorate though horrible. But after all, it is His Majesty's local secret service, and they never have the courage to stop the inner court from doing things.
"When do you need to report to the Supervision Yuan?" The inner court eunuch's face gradually sank, and he said in a low voice: "Come on, take this court prisoner down!"
After giving this order. His eyes moved to the face of the deputy head of the second department, his gaze was like substance, intending to deter the other party, at this time, the inner court took the thirteen yamen to do things, if the Supervision Yuan had to force a bar, what was the difference between it and rebellion?
This is more than a year. He was sent by His Majesty to the subordinate of Scholar He to pursue Gundam in the mountains of Keikoku, and never returned to Kyoto. So about the information on the part of the Inspectorate. He didn't know much, he just knew that Lord Xiao Fan had indeed been busy with the return of Dongyi City, but he didn't know who might be in this black convoy.
Several masters of the Thirteen Yamen of the Criminal Department glanced at each other, and they all saw the vigilance and uneasiness in each other's eyes. Here and there, they. Naturally, I knew that the convoy was full of officials from the Supervisory Yuan. For the Supervision Yuan, the officials of the six departments and three temples of the imperial court. There is a congenital fear and resistance, and if it is placed in normal times, these officials of the Criminal Department will no matter what. They didn't dare to resist the Supervision Yuan head-on, but today they were doing things for the imperial court, and countless pairs of eyes were watching, and the bloody prisoner was lying in the middle of the Supervision Yuan officials. They are much more confident than ever.
The officials of the Criminal Department moved slowly but steadily. Leaned towards the side of the carriage, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan next to the carriage did not move, as if they also felt that they had turned against the entire inner court and the criminal department for the sake of a court criminal.
The people around the area breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, seeing that several officials of the Criminal Department had already walked to the side of the Tiger Guard Gundam, took out the flail, and was about to put on the flail. The official of the Supervision Yuan, who had been silent and frowning, suddenly said, "It's still not right. You are a eunuch in the inner court. It's not Dali Temple. ”
Followed by. He waved his hand.
A few cold lights appeared, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan who were surrounding Gundam still held their hands to the side, without the slightest movement. But in the darkness around the carriage, it was like a gale. Several swordsmen swept over, drew their swords in the lightning, and laid them across the necks of the officials of the Criminal Department.
The face of the official of the criminal department suddenly turned pale. They have been cautious. But I didn't think of it. Torches shine around the official road. Those seem far away in the dark. There is still such a powerful master hidden. These people were restrained by the other party without making a move!
The Inner Court master slowly raised his head. His eyes narrowed, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he watched the movement in front of him. Look at the swordsmen who are shrouded in black. I couldn't help but feel a chill, and the Supervision Yuan was six killers. Sure enough, it lives up to its name.
But he was not afraid. Looking at the deputy head of the second place, he said indifferently: "It seems that this lord also knows the identity of this Qin prisoner, and knows that he was Dean Fan's cronies back then......
What is the punishment of the heart, this is the punishment of the heart. At this time, hundreds of people in the audience listened to this sentence. There is no way to kill everyone. As long as the Supervision Yuan prevents the Inner Court from arresting this Qin prisoner today, then the rumors imposed on Fan Xian will naturally spread to Kyoto.
The official of the Supervision Yuan bowed his head slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Dead old eunuch, I don't care what you say. It's just that you said that you were ordered to do things, and I had to look at your hand seal, even if you didn't have a hand seal, you had to show me the land and sea fishing documents of the Criminal Department. Otherwise, I will say that you are a thief in the country. What can you say?"
After saying this. A sneer appeared on the corner of the official's lips, looking extremely cold and confident.
Standing behind everyone, Dazhou Zhizhou is in terms of grade. He was the highest official, but he knew that there was something strange about it. And it involves the Supervision Yuan, and the door is in the book. The inner court and the torture said that he was only a small state governor, where did he dare to stay in the matter, just listening to the thief. Zhizhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, the people of the Supervision Institute were really shameless and ruthless, in front of so many court officials. He dared to insist that the father-in-law of the inner court was a thief.
Arrest Gundam and Wang Qinian. It was originally a secret matter that He Zongwei secretly carried out. He wanted to hide this matter until the end, so that once the conflict between His Majesty and Fan Xian broke out, there would be no chance to turn it back, so he naturally did not report to His Majesty in advance, of course, it was impossible for His Majesty to have a handwritten seal, and he did not dare to let the powerful forces under Fan Xian know his abacus. Therefore, everything should be done in secret, and there is no sea fishing document from the Criminal Department.
If you catch Gundam or Wang Qinian. It would have been easy to complete the formalities afterwards, but the Supervisory Yuan official was poisonous. I saw the problem at once. In one sentence, the officials of the Inner Court and the Special Department of the Criminal Department were forced to the foot of the mountain.
The eunuch of the inner court was silent for a moment, he had no way to take out His Majesty's will or the documents of the Ministry of Punishment, but it was even more impossible for him to watch Gundam, a prisoner of the imperial court, slip away from his eyes.
"The identity of our family naturally has the adults of the Criminal Department to testify, and all the adults of the Criminal Department have tokens on their bodies. The eunuch of the inner court indifferently turned things in another direction. "At this time, we have to take people, if the Inspectorate wants to stop it. You might as well kill us all. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire official road became quiet. A solemn and cold atmosphere began to permeate the crowd. seems to be nervous, but in fact, the eunuchs of the inner court are at ease. Presumably, the officials in the convoy of the Supervision Yuan at this time. It has been in the shortest possible time. Knowing the identity of Tiger Guard Gundam, of course they knew about the relationship between Gundam and their dean's land. Whether they found out what the imperial court wanted to do with this matter. But they certainly wouldn't let the Insiders catch Gundam so easily.
Here's the problem. The Inner Court and the Criminal Department must arrest Gundam back to Kyoto before the Supervisory Yuan can pass on the information to Fan Xian. So they have to come on hard ground. Because the eunuch of the inner court believed. No matter how tough the Supervision Yuan is, it will not dare to kill all the locals here in the mountains and wilderness of Qingguo.
The eunuch believed that the 30 or so vehicles were convoyed in the Supervisory Yuan. It must have the strength to kill everyone of itself. But he is more convinced that if the Supervisory Yuan does not want to rebel. Naturally, it is impossible to cast such a ruthless hand.
So he walked indifferently and slowly towards Gundam.
The Inspectorate official leaned sideways and looked at him coldly, as if he was still thinking about how to deal with the current situation, if it were another season, this official would have already come up with countless sour ideas at this time. suffocate the inner court and the local people of the criminal department to eat. However, tonight there was a steep encounter with Gundam. Suddenly, I heard that the imperial court was arresting the Qin criminals. In particular, when he discovered the hidden risk of this matter, which might involve Lord Tiji, the official's mood was agitated, and he did not come up with a decisive idea for a while.
No one got down from the carriage, and all the officials of the Supervision Yuan were spying. Including the six swordsmen hidden in the darkness. are waiting for him to speak.
And he didn't say anything until the eunuch of the inner court walked up to Gundam's side.
At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly broke the tranquility and solemnity outside Dazhou City. A burst of women's laughter and noisy voices suddenly resounded in the night sky. It's like the story of the Earth Fox Fairy told in the novel. Quiet long night. Suddenly it became a paradise for walking.
Everyone's ears pricked up, and the mood became tense. It's the middle of the night. Where could there be so many women all of a sudden?
Immediately afterward, the eyes of the men straightened. They never imagined that one day. No, it's one night. I actually saw so many beauties at the same time!
Countless dresses of all colors. Beautiful as the wind, graceful posture. Beautiful daughters of different make-ups and flowers chattered from the rear of the convoy to the slaughtering field, as if they did not know that there was a tense atmosphere ahead, and they were still talking about the boredom of the journey. Whose house is stained with rouge?
The way back to my hometown seems to be quite far, and I have been in the car for so long. I'm a little anxious. I want to go and squat in the grass. But why didn't any of the barbarian men in these courtyards know as much as Lord Xiao Fan, and they didn't say stop and stop, and finally the convoy stopped, but no one came to pick their own little hands, this car...... Quite a master.
Everyone watched in amazement. They all felt like they were in an unreal situation, especially the officials at the front. Looking at this scene, it was as if I had seen a ghost.
The old eunuch of the inner court who had walked to Gundam's side with a calm face suddenly jumped up in his eyes, and Huo Ran got up. Look at these beautiful women. Suddenly, I thought of the garden that everyone in Kyoto is known for.
Then he saw a black wheelchair being lifted from the black carriage.
In the wheelchair sat an old cripple with a woolen blanket on his knees. The old cripple looked at the eunuch leader and said in a hoarse and slightly shrill voice: "Why has it stopped for so long? Talking just didn't work for that kid. ”
The master of the inner court looked at Chen Pingping like a ghost, and he couldn't understand how this old man suddenly appeared outside the city of Dazhou, his knees trembled subconsciously, and his whole body and mind were occupied by a kind of fear.
He knew he had made one of the biggest mistakes. He just thought that Lord Fan was not in the convoy. Then no one in the entire Supervisory Yuan would dare to challenge the authority represented by the Inner Court head-on. However, he did not expect it. Little Fan is not here. But the old dean ...... In the convoy.
Poof. He fell to his knees. Bowing his head deeply, he said respectfully: "The old slave has seen the dean. ”
All the officials and sergeants who were dumbfounded immediately guessed the identity of this old cripple. Qingguo's decades of yincheng. They didn't dare to make any movements, and fell straight to their knees. Including the governor of Dazhou, there is no exception.
Both sides of the official road. Officials knelt on the ground densely. Towards the old cripple beside the carriage. Chen Pingping looked around, her face was calm, and she suddenly clenched her fists and coughed lightly. A hint of inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes. Muttered to himself: "Ye Zi is right, Qiaoqiao's mother." Sure enough, it was a coincidence. ”
The Kyoto Imperial Palace four days ago. The entire stately palace was shrouded in the pale sunlight of late summer and early autumn, and it was clear. A piece of peace. Qingguo is in the midst of a big day, from His Majesty to the peddlers and pawns, the body exudes a fresh and charming upward breath from the inside out. In the past, the palace seemed to have changed its taste, and those spots of light slowly moved on the Taiji Palace. They all look so naughty.
The only place where the taste hasn't changed is the Goshu. There is a stove in winter. Summer ice basin. The four seasons are like spring. Lack of change. It's annoying. The owner of the Imperial Study. His Majesty, the great emperor of Qingguo, is exactly such a person who has been consistent for decades. A terrible character who does not change in the slightest. "The people from the Criminal Department should go to Dazhou and find time to deal with this matter. His Majesty the Emperor put down the teacup indifferently. At this time, the eldest prince had already arrived in Dongyi City and began to deal with the rebellion of Xiaoliang Kingdom. The secret music had just been sent back to Kyoto by Fan Xian's side, and the emperor only glanced at it twice, and then stopped caring about it, his two sons, it should not be difficult to deal with the trivial matters of Dongyi City.
"Scholar He exerted his strength. Eunuch Yao looked at his nose. The nose looked at the heart, and said a sentence very ordinarily.
Speaking of ordinary words. In fact, it is unusual, although He Zongwei has always wanted to have a good relationship with the eunuch leaders in the palace, and has invested a lot of enthusiasm and money in it. Yet for some reason. The eunuchs and palace ladies in the entire palace. Respect and love for Fan Xiandi comes from the heart. There has been no transfer at all.
Eunuch Yao's words undoubtedly secretly stabbed Scholar He with a sword, but Emperor Qing was not moved. Just smiled slightly. said: "He Zongwei is also afraid of death, but the person named Gundam has lived for so long, and I can be regarded as having given enough face to Anzhi, although ...... He didn't seem to know that the traitor was still alive. ”
Eunuch Yao suddenly said in a trembling voice: "The old dean will pass by Dazhou in three days, please ask Your Majesty to make a judgment." ”
Rong Zhen thought again. A trace of exhaustion and confusion suddenly flashed in Emperor Qingdi's eyes, and he said slowly.
