Chapter 15: The Man on the Chessboard

What did Xu Jingzong say, Yun Chuquan was farting when this old guy was fart.

In his own right, Xu Jingzong never said anything meaningful and valuable to anyone in public in his life.

Therefore, Yun Chu's gaze fell directly on the beauty with a curtain fence on her face, this beauty with fingers as round as white as green onions, obviously not comparable to the women who came and went naked on donkeys in Xu Jingzong's family.

However, he found that this woman was actually supporting Xu Jingzong, which showed that this woman's status was not very high, and she was obviously a woman who served well.

Therefore, this is a kind of person that is easy to see in the Tang Dynasty today-widow.

The widow saw the pile of corpses that had been chopped up by Yun Chu, and also smelled the ominous aura coming from the Lu family's courtyard, and did not show any panicked expression, but stood quietly behind Xu Jingzong, without saying a word.

"What did Your Majesty say?"

Xue Rengui is a very simple man, and he has begun to get tired of doing drama here for so long.

Xu Jingzong looked at Yun Chu and said, "The bunch of people you killed are not Tang Dynasty soldiers, they are just slaves recruited by Xue Rengui from Liaodong. ”

Yun Chu pointed to the official armor on those slaves and said: "Using slaves to pretend to be government soldiers and commit murder in the house, Xue Rengui's crime is unforgivable. ”

Xue Rengui sneered twice and didn't argue with Yun Chu.

Instead, Xu Jingzong turned his head and said viciously to Yun Chu: "Do you believe that the old man can immediately turn these slaves into real government soldiers?" ”

Yun Chu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better for him to bear the blame for killing Diao Nu, so he kept silent.

"Cui's arrogance and lawlessness, Lu's stubbornness, if you kill it, you will kill it, it's not a big deal, Your Majesty ordered the old man to bring a pardon order, and from then on, the Yingzhou incident will be over."

After listening to Xu Jingzong's words, Yun Chu looked at Xue Rengui's eyes again, and it was a little intriguing.

"If I hadn't fought you indiscriminately last night, wouldn't there have been so many deaths here?"

Xue Rengui hugged his arms in front of his chest and didn't say a word, but his eyes fell on Xu Jingzong, with obvious implications.

Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Anyway, these two families are dead, right?" ”

Xu Jingzong sneered: "The whole world is being cleaned up, but Ling Chang'an is safe and happy." ”

Yun Chu frowned and said, "How miserable Cui Mian died......"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "Not enough." ”

Yun Chu looked at the beauty and gritted his teeth and said: "If it's not enough, just destroy Lu Ting, who is ineffective, it's all this old man, and I can't keep up with Your Majesty's pace and complete the cleanup of Chang'an."

He surrendered just too quickly. ”

Xu Jingzong asked Yun Chu with a smile: "How did you know that Mrs. was from the Cui family?" ”

Yun Chu smiled and said nothing.

The Yun family now lives with two noble women from the Cui family, one used to be the noble little lady of the Cui family, and the other is even more remarkable, belonging to the female teacher of the Cui family.

It's strange to say that the men of the Cui family are proud of their high families, but the women of the Cui family have a heart to kill the Cui family for some reason.

Poor Lu became Cui's funeral.

"The concubine is Wei, and I have seen the prince."

Yun Chu avoided the woman's courtesy, and said casually: "Are you sure it's Wei's, not Cui's?" ”

The woman smiled: "There are only Wei's women in the world, and there are no Cui women." ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "What kind of grudge do you have, you can see that there are nearly two hundred dead people in the Cui clan in the capital." ”

The woman smiled: "Don't persuade others to be kind without others' suffering, isn't the prince also dissatisfied with the Cui family, why do you still mourn for the Cui family?" ”

Yun Chu looked at the officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Officials Department, and Household Department who had been over for a while, and said indifferently: "I just don't like Cui's mean methods to Qianshou, and I don't like Cui's eating appearance of accumulating wealth, these dislikes have many ways to govern, just like what this official did to Cui's not long ago."

But why is the child? ”

After that, Yun Chu said to Xu Jingzong: "This official is tired, so I have to go back to bathe and rest, if you are ready to take me, hurry up, choose a better prison for me, and continue to bathe and change clothes." ”

Xue Rengui said on the side at this time: "You can fight now." ”

Yun Chu was silent, he felt that there was no need to fight with Xue Rengui, after all, with a big battle with Lao Xue, he would most likely be in a weak state for a month or two.

In view of the fact that the wealthy families from Hebei and Shandong have been cleaned up, and there have been Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang, and Du who are the scholars west of Hangu Pass in Kunshan, Yun Chu is ready to keep his spirit to face this group of local families known as "Wei Du in the south of the city, go to Tianqi Wu".

The appearance of this Mrs. Wei is already very telling, whether it is spontaneously preparing to replace the weakened Hebei and Shandong families, or being ordered by the emperor to fill the gaps in the family, Yun Chu has to deal with it well.

"We're going to have a big fight after all, and when that happens, we won't be able to take it in stride."

Yun Chu looked up at Xue Rengui and said, "Without Pei Xingjian's battle, it is an incomplete battle. ”

Xue Rengui said: "Pei Xingjian entered the Western Regions, good food, good beauty, and even rumored that he was a prostitute in the Western Regions, and his hip flesh was resurrected without the courage of the past." ”

When Yun Chu saw Di Renjie standing in the crowd of Dali Temple, he said loudly to him: "Write a letter to Pei Xingjian, and say that Xue Rengui said that he is no longer as brave as he was back then." ”

Di Renjie laughed and said: "Good food, beautiful maid, words like prostitution must be indispensable." ”

Xue Rengui laughed and said, "If these words can cheer up Pei Xingjian, just say it." ”

Yun Chu didn't smile, but seriously intervened in Xue Rengui and said, "Give me that old pawn." ”

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "No, you have to take it back to show the public, if you are asked to leave, and there is a grand burial, it is inevitable that someone will be willing to take his life to follow his old path, do you want Lao Tzu's military discipline anymore?"

You don't want to stretch your hand into Lao Tzu's military camp in the future, if you get it, don't blame Lao Tzu for cutting his hands and stomping his feet. ”

Yun Chu glanced at the corpse of the brigade commander who fell to the ground and was surrounded by flies, took his belt and threw it on the back of the jujube red horse, looked back at Xu Jingzong and said, "If there is no will of His Majesty to arrest me, I will leave." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "Arresting you is a matter of the imperial history and the hundred knights, not an old man's errand." ”

"You just said that I only killed a group of evil slaves, and as my marquis, killing evil slaves is only a fine of copper at most."

Xu Jingzong looked at Yun Chu's eyes and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, Your Majesty has missed you for a long time, and besides, your sister-in-law was too domineering in Luoyang and broke the arm of the princess's mother, don't you plan to go to Luoyang to restrain him?" ”

Yun Chu said in a deep voice: "Let Pei Xingjian reason with me." ”

Xu Jingzong spread his hands and said, "You are very unreasonable now." ”

Yun Chu said: "I just found out now that reasonable people suffer a lot. ”

Mrs. Wei said on the side: "If necessary, the concubine can run for the Buddha girl." ”

Yun Chuli ignored the woman and refused directly: "If your man is here, let him run, Lao Tzu disdains to deal with women and women." ”

After that, he pulled the jujube red horse and left the gate of the Lu family.

Xue Rengui's brows furrowed very tightly, but in the end, he did not stop Yun Chu from taking away the corpse of the brigade commander.

Yun Chu's performance today is very abnormal, this is not Yun Chu in Xue Rengui's cognition, one moment tyrannical, one moment witty, one moment clear, one moment arrogant, and another moment knowing how to advance and retreat.

This is obviously wearing several layers of masks on his face, layer after layer, and he doesn't know which face is his true face.

Xu Jingzong looked at Xue Rengui's originally frowning eyebrows, and said with a little smile: "The result is good, isn't it?" ”

Xue Rengui said: "This was originally expected by His Majesty, and not caring about anything is not what Yun Chu looks like." ”

Xu Jingzong said again: "You are in Luoyang, Your Majesty is at ease, but what is the reason for letting you come to Chang'an?" ”

Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty is like a spring breeze in front of Yun Chu, and I am far inferior to him in this regard." ”

"Yun Chu is disgusted with dumping, disgusted with cruel officials, and he will also dislike His Majesty."

Xue Rengui said: "Shouldn't a gentleman be like this? ”

"You said that Yunchu has the image of a gentleman?"

Xue Rengui said: "If you do something and don't do something, can't you still be called a gentleman?" ”

Xu Jingzong shook his head and smiled: "Such a gentleman is really different. ”

After that, he said to Mrs. Wei, who was deep in thought beside her: "Madam, don't be surprised, Yun Chu is rude and rude, and he is well-known in the country. ”

Mrs. Wei squatted down and saluted: "The concubine doesn't feel rude, on the contrary, the concubine thinks that this is the true face of a man." ”

No matter how smart Yun Chu was, he couldn't have imagined that Xue Rengui would kill the Cui family, and the Lu family was just the result of the emperor's small calculation.

It may even be a result of pleasing beauty.

Xu Jingzong, who was a dog, knew that the emperor had only a fat giant bear by his side for a long time, so he got a stunning widow for the emperor, which scratched Li Zhi's itchy flesh at once.

Then, this old thief, who could only stay in the East Palace to be a teacher for the prince, was suddenly reinstated and continued to become a servant, that is, a kind of prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

With Wu Mei here, Yun Chu felt that there was no need to have anything to do with Li Zhi's woman, and the best situation was to ignore it.

No matter how powerful a woman is, she can't go to Wu Mei.

If he was targeted by Wu Mei, Yun Chu felt that it was even more terrifying than being targeted by a powerful ghost.

Yun Chu estimated that this Mrs. Wei probably wouldn't live long, and it was easy for Li Zhi's woman to die, this should already be the consensus of Datang women, but there is still one here who is not afraid of death.

Yun Chu just walked to Suzaku Street, and Jiang Tong of the Hundred Horsemen Division surrounded Yun Chu with an apologetic face.

A red-robed imperial historian seemed to want to speak, but under Yun Chu's emotionless gaze, he still wisely chose to shut up.

The clans of Hebei provoked the incident, and now, Li Zhi tortured them for two years, and only then did he choose to end the matter completely.

Yun Chu believed that the group of people who tried their best to provoke the incident at the beginning were now dead.

Things started in Luoyang and ended in Chang'an, which is likely to be the cruel romance of Li Zhi.

Suzaku Street is full of people, but there are not many horse-drawn carriages, and there are quite a few people pushing chicken carts.

The peddlers and pawns crowded Suzaku Street, but most of the people from wealthy families stood on the roofs of their houses, watching Yun Chu lead the horse and pull an unknown dead body, and then, apparently, surrounded by the people of the Hundred Horsemen.

Lu Ting was the most courageous, so he came to Suzaku Street, and when he saw Yun Chu coming, he couldn't afford it.

The others did not go to the Imperial City Root, but the news did not lag behind, and he knew exactly what Yun Chu had done over there.

Yun Chu raised his head and glanced at Lu Ting tiredly: "The matter is over, let's live in a proper manner in the future, just do what you want, Your Majesty will not pursue it." ”

Lu Ting didn't say anything, but he couldn't afford it for a long time, and then, there were many people who looked at Yun Chu from afar.

Back to the county office, the body of the commander of the government army brigade was carried out, I believe that he will have a very good funeral, I believe that his children and grandchildren will settle in Chang'an in the future, and worship and sacrifice his tomb as the tomb of his ancestors.

Yun Chu invited Jiang Tong, the governor of the Hundred Cavalry, into the official house, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one sip, and then said to Jiang Tong: "Do you need me to change into an official uniform to receive the order?" ”

Jiang Tong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty just said that I miss you a little and invited you to live in Luoyang Imperial Prison for a while." ”

Yun Chu said puzzledly: "Only two thousand high-ranking officials are qualified to enter the Imperial Prison, and I am only a county order, how can He De be stationed in the Imperial Prison?" ”

Jiang Tong looked at the red-robed Yushi on the side and said, "Wei Yushi might as well explain a thing or two to the prince." ”

Yun Chu took a sip of water and glanced at the red-robed imperial history and said, "Didn't Jingzhao Wei's move to Luoyang, why are there still Wei's children in Chang'an?" ”

Yu Shi Wei Qingquan said: "Jingzhao is the root place of the Wei clan, how can it be easily discarded." ”

Yun Chu put down the teacup and said; "Since you want to make a living in Chang'an, then obediently abide by the rules of Chang'an."

Wei Qingquan said: "What if you don't comply? ”

Yun Chu used his left foot as the axis and his right leg as the whip, and whipped it on Wei Qingquan's chest and abdomen with the sound of breaking wind, Jiang Tong only heard a bang, and Wei Qingquan's whole person broke out of the window and flew out.

Seeing Wei Qingquan fly out, Jiang Tong took two steps back and said, "Junhou, this is nothing to do." ”

Yun Chu picked up the teacup again and drank saliva and said: "Go to Luoyang, you want to go to prison, the crime is not enough, it is inevitable that someone will say that Your Majesty abuses the law, now that Lao Tzu kicked and broke Wei Yushi's four ribs and beat Yushi's charge, which is just right to go to prison to ask for crimes, so that no one will say that Your Majesty is abusing the law." ”

When Jiang Tong heard Yun Chu say this, he had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head.

Although the people in the county government of Manwan know that the county is strong in martial arts, but over the years, the county has never shown his martial arts in the county government.

Now suddenly someone broke out of the window of the county office, and everyone opened the window of the office to look out, and saw that the county was still quietly drinking tea with a teacup, and did not tell them to come out to help, so they decisively closed the windows one by one and continued to work.

Seeing that Wei Qingquan was taken away by the servants he brought, Yun Chu said to Jiang Tong again: "Your Majesty will not detain me for too long, however, I hate that others will do things when I am not there, this kick can keep him in bed for half a year, I think these times should be enough for me to go back to Chang'an."

Let's go now, if it's too late, we'll miss the station. ”

Jiang Tong said: "It's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Since Your Majesty is thinking about me, we can't let Your Majesty wait for a long time, it's best to set off as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Tong said: "Is it possible to ride a horse?" ”

Yun Chu smiled: "It's only a two-day journey. ”

When Yun Chu rode on the jujube red horse again, Master Liu and others came to say goodbye, and Yun Chu said: "Take care of your home, I'll go back when I go." ”

After that, he took the lead in leaving Wannian County, did not see gentleness, did not see Liu Renliang, did not see Di Renjie, and did not say goodbye to his family, Yun Chu killed fifty-one people in the morning, and then quickly went to Luoyang.

There is more rain in Luoyang than in Chang'an, so when Yunchu set off, Luoyang's Ziwei Palace was under the infiltration of heavy rain.

The rain was a little heavier, and the mountains on the horizon were invisible, and Wu Mei sat down with difficulty holding her stomach, but she couldn't see the chessboard under her feet.

Li Zhi pushed the chessboard, and Wu Mei saw the dense chess pieces on it, this was already an endgame, and there were at most seven or eight more moves to end.

"Pregnant women change their clothes a lot, Your Majesty don't dislike it."

Wu Mei snorted and gasped for breath.

Li Zhi smiled: "This is not your first pregnancy, and I am not the first time to experience it, what is there to say." ”

Wu Mei put a black piece on the chessboard, lifted a mortal white child, and continued to say to Li Zhi: "For a woman, Your Majesty dispatched a fierce general to clear out the two families that can be eliminated by only dispatching prison officials, which can be regarded as lifting her." ”

Li Zhi put down a white seed and lifted a mortal sunspot and said casually: "When dealing with tigers, it is best to send a lion, so that you can speak calmly." ”

Wu Mei smiled: "Didn't you say that Yun Chu is a bastard two hundred and five?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "It used to be, but now, unconsciously it has become an important minister, and you can't take it lightly." ”

"Since Your Majesty thinks that Yun Chu has made progress, the concubine doesn't believe it, will he not understand His Majesty's intentions, and speak for those damned prisoners, is it pampered and proud?"

Li Zhi stopped his right hand that was falling, withdrew the chess piece and said: "He understands everything, but he will still stop it, this is not pampering and arrogance, but this person can't see the law being destroyed."

And there are some inexplicable benevolence, if he doesn't make a move, he won't be Yun Chu. ”

Wu Mei said with a smile: "People who have compassion for the weak are generally arrogant, think about it carefully, Yun Chu is indeed such a person, it seems that the bet between the concubine and His Majesty is going to be lost." ”

Li Zhi put down the last white piece that could be put and ended the chess game, and his other hand was already pinched on the giant bear's ear.

Looking at the pouring rain outside the hall, he said comfortably: "Give me another thirty years, and I will definitely give the world a strong and rich Tang Dynasty." ”
