CHAPTER XXXIV

After tossing and turning Cui Chengxiu, Wang Wenyan, and Wang Tiqian's mansions, it was already evening when Li Xiao returned to the post house. The body is not very tired, but the brain is very tired.

Ao Canghai and the others were waiting outside in full armor, and the fifth master had already taken the first step on the road. Li Hu, supported by Yan Rong, looked at Li Xiao longingly, but didn't dare to speak.

Li Xiao closed his eyes, and his fingers kept tapping on the chair. No one knew what he was waiting for, and there was a risk of becoming a ghost in the inn. All the postmen in the inn were hiding in the house, looking out through the gaps in the doors and windows, not knowing what these soldiers were going to do. This month has made a lot of noise in the capital, and these guys have not stopped.

It's really noisy!

There was a burst of neighing of people on their backs, and a large number of brocade guards appeared at the door. The first person is wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife, not Xu Xianchun or anyone. The person behind Xu Xianchun is wearing a cone hat unique to Dongchang Fanzi, and it is Sun Yunhe.

The postmen are going to be scared to death, and I don't know what to make a fuss about tonight. It's Jinyiwei and Dongchang who are out together, is it going to be like Wanli Ye's commotion at that time?

Xu Xianchun and Sun Yunhe didn't speak when they saw Li Xiao sitting in the hall, and waited with their waists crossed after holding their fists to Li Xiao.

Ai Husheng noticed that Li Xiao's tapping finger was withdrawn.

After a while, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn. The people in the carriage did not get down, and the little guy who drove the carriage stood at the gate and saluted Li Xiao from afar. Li Xiao's finger was withdrawn again!

When a small chamberlain appeared in the hall to salute Li Xiao, the main forces in Beijing were basically there.

Li Xiao's eyes opened suddenly, and without saying a word, he strode towards the door and flew on his horse: "Go!" ”

The people in the house came out, and those who got on the horses got on the horses and the carriages got into the carriages. Li Hu took two steps tightly, touched the wound, and his face twitched in pain. Mao Wenlong pursed his lips and sighed. Put his hands in his sleeves and staggered back to the house.

Li Xiao went out this time, which can be regarded as bringing representatives of all the big forces in the capital, and even Wang Tiqian, who represented the emperor, also sent his own personal little eunuch. Of course, he doesn't have much power to influence things. But it was a humanoid camera that would tell the emperor exactly what he saw.

The power system of the Ming Dynasty is sometimes very strange, and the power of eunuchs is large but fragile. There were rebellious eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, but more often than not, eunuchs who were loyal to the emperor. Although they are in power, they only need a note from the emperor. The rights of the eunuchs will be like sand sculptures covered by the waves. In an instant, it collapsed into a piece of dust!

In the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, there have never been eunuchs like the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Walking through Changping and Yanqing, Li Xiao walked for two days and three nights on a three-hundred-mile road.

Xuanfu Town occupies Jizhou, and Qin and Han Dynasty are Shanggu County; In the first year of the Liao Taizong meeting, after the Later Jin Dynasty Shi Jingjiao cut the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, it belonged to the Liao State; After Jin destroyed Liao, it belonged to Jin; Yuan belongs to Zhongshu Province on the capital road; Ming belongs to the Beijing Division, and belongs to the command of Wanquandu. Gu Zuyu said in the "Minutes of Reading History and Public Opinion" on the geographical situation of the Great Wall in Xuanfu Town: Xuanfu, "Nanping Jingshi, the rear control of the desert, the left strangles the danger of mediocrity, and the right embraces the solidity in the clouds", and the border is important.

Xuanhua Mansion set up a general military officer in the seventh year of Yongle, and it was originally called Xuanfu Town.

When Li Xiao saw the Xuanfu city wall in the distance by the hazy moonlight, Li Xiao immediately ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fanzi to open the way in front. He followed closely behind with his team, no matter how good his soldiers were. In the Xuanfu where heavy troops gathered, the font size of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is more effective.

Sure enough, Xu Xianchun and Sun Yunhe came together to hand over the waist card. Wang Tong, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu who had been waiting on the city tower for a long time, immediately ordered to open the city gate and personally greet this extraordinary team.

Yesterday evening, a team of brocade guards suddenly came. was actually led by a commander, and after entering Xuanfu City, he didn't say a word. He rushed into the prison with people, and did not mention lifting people in prison. Instead, they were stationed in the prison, as if they were protecting someone.

Wang Tong can mix with the general soldiers, not only can he lead the troops to fight, but his brain is even brighter. He knows very well what kind of person Jinyiwei is, even if there are not many people in the capital who can move Jinyiwei. found the commander named Cui Yingyuan, who ate and drank well and entertained, and stuffed a few hundred taels of silver to figure out the situation.

I didn't expect such a big thing to happen here, and there is a team with higher specifications behind me. Wang Tong hurriedly mobilized his subordinates to inquire about the situation, and after finding that it had nothing to do with him, he finally put his mind at ease.

Now Wang Tong is secretly happy in his heart, and he has only been transferred to Xuanfu for more than a month. Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of the governor, can't pee in a pot at all, but he can't do it now. There are people in Zhu Zhifeng's court, and he is a local snake who has been in operation for five or six years in Xuanfu. wants to fight against him, Wang Tong doesn't have that strength yet.

Now it's okay, someone from the capital has come to treat you. If you Zhu Zhifeng are destroyed, the entire Xuanfu is Lao Tzu's world.

Cooperate! Must actively cooperate!

Wang Tong did not send someone to inform the governor Zhu Zhifeng, but waited for a day on the city tower with his guards against the spring wind of Xuanfu. In the evening, I finally saw people from the capital.

Hello dear! You're finally here!

"This is Shangguan from the capital!" Seeing Xu Xianchun and Sun Yunhe, they were all very respectful to this young man, and there were even eunuchs behind him. Wang Tong was shameless, and bowed to Li Xiao.

He is the chief military officer, and Li Xiao is just the commander. The difference in ranks, it's like a commander of a large military district and a small regiment commander, uh...... Or rather, the gap between the battalion commanders.

Li Xiao's enthusiasm for Wang Tong was a little inexplicable, but he quickly reacted. This matter should have nothing to do with him, maybe Guan Mangui's person is still his opponent. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and this rule has always run rampant in political relations.

"Don't dare to be, Li is just a boss. This ......! ”

"If the official position is not tight, all those who come from the capital are on a bad day! Poor! Please prepare a glass of thin wine for the errand, and wash the dust for the errand. Wang Tong held his hands in front of his chest regardless of his age. That face is so smiling that the lines on his head are open!

Since ancient times, the phrase that money is not spent in vain has been a wise saying, and when the money was handed over, Cui Yingyuan lifted Li Xiao's status in the capital.

Now there are still such capable people in these years, and those bigwigs in the capital let him use him. If you don't get a good idea, it's simply intolerable to the indignation of people and gods. Before Li Xiao came, Wang Tong made up his mind that against all odds, he must make up his mind to make a good deal with this future Ming upstart.

Wang Zongbing was kind to Li and received it, but Li's brother was still in prison. Li wants to go to prison ......! ”

"It's okay to pay a visit, but the place belongs to the governor's yamen. Xia Guan couldn't do his best, so he could only send some meals to the scene in the past two days. Take a look at the friendship of the military robes! ”

"Mr. Wang has a heart, Li has written down this feeling, and there will be a return in the future." Li Xiao looked at this smiling white-bearded uncle, this is really good material for being an official, but he doesn't think much about soldiers.

The Ming army is under such a person, and it is really not ordinary to fight the fierce Eight Banners like a tiger.

"Then the official will take him to prison, please!" After Wang Tong finished speaking, he led the way in front, and the group quickly crossed the street to a street next to the governor's yamen.

The jailer guarding the door noticed so many people and immediately alerted inside. Before Li Xiao and the others could get closer, no less than twenty people rushed out. One by one, they carried water and fire sticks in their hands, looking at the approaching team with fierce eyes.

Li Xiao pulled Wang Tong's sleeve with his hand, and Wang Tong was stunned.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ......! A platoon of soldiers fell to one knee, and a row of soldiers stood behind. Two rows of bullets shot at the jailers who rushed out!

Wang Tong was frightened, he didn't expect this to be so ruthless. As soon as he got started, he didn't even say hello, and saw the blood on more than a dozen people flying. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and six or seven wounded and screaming people.

"Come on, get Man Ye out." Ao Canghai gave an order, and Li Xiao's soldiers rushed in like wolves.

When he came, Li Xiao had already discussed with Ao Canghai, and this time he would make the first move. No matter what Man Gui did, let's get people out first. Anyway, even if you poke out a big basket this time, there will be someone covering it. In order to be full of laurel this time, Li Xiao can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, and even Wang Wenyan was invited out.

Wang Wenyan watched in the dark, pouting with a smile. This kid is really ruthless, decisive in killing, and will be a material for doing big things in the future.

The gunfire rang out like popping beans, and the soldiers on Phi Island were ordered to shoot if they resisted. Once an honest person receives a military order, he will not hesitate to carry it out. This is also the benefit of Li Xiao calling them!

They have all been on the battlefield and seen blood, and this scene is simply trivial. The cells of Shuntianfu in the capital have all been attacked, not to mention a broken cell in Xuanfu.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and Wang Tong, who was shocked, shuddered. He didn't know what it was!

"Let's go! Go in and see Manye! Li Xiao ignored the jailers who were injured and howling on the ground, and when he walked into the courtyard, he had already seen Man Gui being helped out of the cell by the fifth master. Behind him, Cui Yingyuan took a group of brocade guards and did not leave an inch, and after seeing Li Xiao, Cui Yingyuan hugged his fists and saluted.

I haven't seen him for two months, and Li Xiao almost doesn't dare to recognize it, the person in front of him is Man Gui.

The cotton inside the clothes turned black as it turned out. There was a sour smell all over his body, and his beard and hair were not distinguishable at all. In the firelight, you can even see some dark red and white guys running back and forth inside.

The nose and eyes can't see clearly at all, and the whole person is out of shape. God knows how many sins Man Gui has suffered in the past two months!

"Brother Xiao! You're here! Man Gui, who killed people without blinking, saw Li Xiao crying like a doll in confinement.

"What's wrong with Master Man!" Li Xiao hurriedly hugged Man Gui and took out a handkerchief to wipe Man Gui's tears.

"I'm going to kill Zhu Laosan, I'm going to kill Zhu Laosan. Our brothers were killed by him dozens of times. Miserable! Miserable! Man Gui beat his chest.

"What!" When Li Xiao came, he thought that things would be very big. But I didn't expect that things would make such a big fuss. There are no more than 100 old brothers in Mangui, and more than a dozen people have been killed or disabled in the past two years. There were more than 80 people left, and now half of them had been killed.

"Kill Zhu Laosan, Lao Tzu will kill Zhu Laosan!" Man Gui waved his hands excitedly, and Ao Canghai slashed his hand knife on his neck. Man Gui's body slowly softened!

"Mr. Wang, who is Zhu Laosan!" Li Xiao looked back at Wang Tong, now he is the person who knows the situation of Xuanfu best.

"This Zhu Laosan, ......!" Wang Tong said Ai Ai: "Zhu Laosan is the younger brother of Governor Zhu, because he is the third in line. In Xuanfu, they all call Zhu Laosan in private, and everyone calls Zhu Sanye on the face. ”

"Lord Wang, let your people take Jinyiwei to raid Zhu Laosan's house. Lord Xu, I'm sorry for you to go. Remember! Zhu Laosan and the people who had my brother's blood stuck to their hands were all alive. ”

"No!" On the way, Li Xiao stuffed two thousand taels of silver to Xu Xianchun, and this goods were very happy.

"Master Sun!"

"In!" Sun Yunhe clenched his fists and came out.

"You take the people from Dongchang to invite Governor Zhu here." Li Xiao knew that Jin Yiwei would scare the six or seven officials. For example, if you are a three-grade master like the governor, your power will be greatly reduced.

Dongchang is different, acting arbitrarily and has the right to cut first and then play. Not to mention a mere governor, even if it was the governor of Jiliao, Wang Zaijin, was trembling when he saw Dongchang's fanzi. For fear of offending these Yama lords who eat people and don't spit out bones, they will be killed.

"No!" Sun Yunhe also got Li Xiao's money, hugged his fist at Li Xiao, and took his Dongchang fans away.

"Settle down!" Li Xiao gave an order, and the soldiers carried Man Gui to the room where the jailers were resting.

"Mr. Wang, you should know what's going on. Let's talk about it! Someone brought two chairs, and Li Xiao and Wang Tong sat in the middle of the prison compound and talked.

"It's been less than two months since the official arrived, and your incident happened before the official arrived. There are many things that the official has also heard, and he doesn't know if it's allowed or not. Bear more than you want! Wang Tong saw that Li Xiao was so ruthless, and immediately thought about how to get himself out first.

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Wang has just arrived. In that case, tell us everything you hear. ”

"Here's the thing! The people under your command are Mongols, and many of them are also Mongols, although many of them also farm. The boundary of this Xuanfu is not good, and it is close to the wind and sand. The harvest in the field has not always been very good! These Mongols had to pay land rent, so there was not much food left.

You took these people back, and they were all rich. If others don't say it, they just say that it is full of Gui Manye. actually brought back thousands of taels of silver, who do you say is not red-eyed.

As soon as I heard that I had earned money by following you to fight Tartars, I had to expand the army over there. The hearts of these Mongolians are alive one by one, after all, life here is too poor. Many Han people also thought about going with Man Gui.

But you think, the tenants are gone. Whoever will plant the land, so ......! ”
