Chapter 275: Feng An, the backstabber
On the Vermilion Bird Street of Chang'an City, a galloping horse rushed straight into the city gate, the crisp and fierce sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning, and with a three-hundred-mile urgent trumpet, the whole Chang'an City kicked off a day of commotion.
I haven't heard this kind of trumpet for a long time, living in Chang'an, the people have been accustomed to distinguishing between good things and bad things, the trumpet of good things is generally shouted with joy, or simply shout out good things, so that the people of Chang'an can share the joy, but bad things will not, most of the bad things are confidential, only when the door is called with the city gate order, or when reporting to the emperor of the Taiji Palace, it will be made clear, otherwise the trumpet command will cause riots and panic among the people.
Feng Zhidai, who followed Fang Er out to buy vegetables, listened to the people's speculations, and his curiosity sprouted, but he was woken up by Fang Er's basin of cold water: "What do you care about?" Even if the sky falls, it doesn't matter much to you, you still have to think seriously about how to repay your debts, did the problem that Master came out with yesterday calculate? At your pace, how long will it take to redeem yourself working in a tavern? ”
Burst...... Brother Fang, I am working to pay off my debts, and I am not selling myself to the tavern, how can I call it ransom? Feng Zhidai blushed and defended.
"One thing, if you don't know, you're going to have to work in the tavern all the time, no different from selling yourself."
How can I not even pay for a meal? Joke! Daddy has written to the family to send money, and it will be solved soon. ”
Fang Er said with a smile: "Don't brag, your Lingnan family's great cause is true, but according to Ling Zun's method of losing in the mahjong hall, I'm afraid I can't wait for the money to come, and your family's title will have to be compensated, so it's really hard to say how many days you can do in this life." ”
Burst...... Feng Zhidai felt that he had been hit by an arrow in the knee, and he said that scolding people does not reveal the shortcomings, what do you mean by Fang Er? Curse me with the intention of the decline of the Feng family, right?
He didn't know that the decline of the Feng family might not be because of someone else's joke, but it was just around the corner by chance.
In the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, the morning dynasty was discussing matters today, and suddenly eight hundred miles were rushed to the place, which disrupted the rhythm of the early dynasty, and when he took the paperwork, Li Er was angry from the heart, and directly threw the letter to the ground, and scolded: "Okay, you Feng An, but you dare to raise troops in Chang'an?" Come on, quickly bring someone to arrest Feng Ang back, I want to ask him personally, Datang owes him Feng! ”
The inner servant Lao Gao sent someone to do something, the ministers looked at each other, the eldest grandson of the uncle of the country, Wuji slowly walked out of class, picked up the document, read it quickly, his heart was also shocked, his thoughts turned sharply, and then he saluted slightly and persuaded: "Your Majesty, this matter is unlikely, Feng Ang is in Chang'an, and now Lingnan is rebelling, don't you want the lives of Feng Ang's father and son?" ”
Lingnan rebellion? The ministers immediately became in a commotion, and soon the document spread all over the place, and someone stood up and retorted: "Perhaps, Feng Ang entered Beijing to paralyze the imperial court and use his troops as a cover, but in fact, it was for the army to kill inside and outside?" ”
Wei Zheng stood up and scolded: "Should the inside be combined with the outside? The letter said that the Lingnan army had just arrived at the border of Henan Province, how could he cooperate with the outside world? What a joke! ”
Fang Xuanling guessed: "Feng Ang is not here, Lingnan should be a group of dragons without a leader, but now they are killing to the north with a clear banner, I think, there is only one possibility, that is, Lingnan's internal rebellion, the rebels attacking Chang'an may be secondary, maybe they want Feng An's life is the real purpose." ”
Li Eryi slapped the dragon case and shouted angrily: "Don't guess, all the reasons can be known by Feng An." Where is Hou Junji? sent people to surround Feng An's mansion, and took Feng An's accompanying minions, so be sure not to let go of a Lingnan child. ”
Hou Junji took the order and left, the entire hall was silent, everyone was waiting for the results of the arrest, although everyone had their own guesses, but no one dared to whisper anymore.
Besides, Feng An, who played mahjong as usual on this day, came to the mahjong hall early to occupy a seat as always, although he must lose every day, but his card skills have grown somehow, so seeing his daily progress, Feng Ang is tired of this and has a sense of achievement.
Because of Feng An's existence, the Emperor Li Yuan has begun to avoid him, and he hasn't come to the mahjong parlor for several days, not because he is afraid that Feng Ang will ask him to play cards, but because he is afraid that Feng Ang will ask him to borrow money.
has been playing white strips and owing money to play mahjong, Feng An's reputation must not be much better, and gradually almost no one likes to play cards with him, so he was forced to have no choice but to give up playing white strips on the card table, and borrow money from familiar friends instead, who in Chang'an City dares to say that he is familiar with Feng An? I'm afraid that ordinary officials will not be able to avoid it, and they will not dare to admit that they have a personal relationship with Feng An.
In the end, Feng Ang found the owner of the casino, the emperor Li Yuan here, Li Yuan excused himself but could only agree to lend, at first it was all small money, not to mention borrowing, it should be rewarded and funded, but every day, Rao is old Li Yuan is rich and can't stand it, so he can only follow Feng Ang A bunch of white slips.
The mahjong hall is as lively as ever, but today it was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the waiter Lao Gao personally led the team, many people saw this posture, and fled in fright, everyone speculated, is it difficult for the emperor to do something to the emperor?
In fact, the inner servant Lao Gao did not dare to be presumptuous, and personally entered to ask the emperor, but unfortunately he didn't see the main master, so he could only explain the situation to the steward, and let his subordinates take Feng Ang, and when he went out, he heard Feng Ang tell loudly: "The person in charge, take care of Lao Tzu's silver, wait for me to come back!" ”
Come back? General Feng, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back, right? led the people to rebel and rebel, but you still want to come back for the crime of killing the head and punishing the nine clans? Gao Nei sneered.
Feng Ang was stunned, "What?" Leading a rebellion? Nonsense, Lao Tzu has been in Chang'an for so long, where did he come from to lead the rebellion? Which soul is faint to frame Lao Tzu? ”
"Whether it is framed in the main hall has its own know, just now in the mahjong hall is to give the emperor face, good words please go out, now, wronged, get into the carriage yourself!"
Soon after Feng Ang was taken away, Hou Junji led his troops to surround the Feng family's courtyard in Chang'an City, that is, the house that Feng Ang bought for his son, although there were hundreds of Lingnan soldiers guarding it, but in the face of the strict military appearance of the Tang Imperial Forest, who would dare to do it? You can only wait to be caught.
After inquiring about the Feng family, he learned that Feng Ang was playing cards in the mahjong parlor, and the second son Feng Zhidai was working in the Qin King Tavern, Hou Junji was worried, on one side was the Emperor Taishang, and on the other hand, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, which he could not afford to offend.
Thinking that Gao Neishou would personally arrest Feng An, Hou Junji knew that he had no choice, so he could only take the people and horses to the King of Qin's tavern.
Before he could call the door, in the courtyard opposite the tavern, a team of Xuanjia guards rushed out, led by the young general Li Junxian, who stopped Hou Junji with a sword and asked, "Stop coming!" I don't know what General Hou means? Why did you bring soldiers and weapons to the King of Qin's Tavern? ”
If it was in the past, where could Hou Junji look down on an unfamous young player like Li Junxian? Even if Zhang Shigui and Zhai Changsun, the leaders of the Xuanjia, came, at most they would give them a three-point face, but now it is different, everyone knows that Li Junxian's 100-person Xuanjia guards are the personal guards of the King of Qin, and His Majesty is giving them a gift, who dares not to give face?
Hou Junji stopped the team and explained kindly: "General Li don't misunderstand, the Lingnan rebellion was supposed to be ordered by the emperor to come to arrest the rebellious party Feng An's henchmen, I heard that the second son of the Feng family was hiding in the Qin King Tavern, and was about to report to the King of Qin to arrest the rebel, and he had no other intentions, please General Li to report it, and Hou Junji will see you." ”
Li Junxian was silent for a moment, and then explained: "The second son of the Feng family is just a weak scholar, why should the general be so busy and disturb His Royal Highness the King of Qin to recuperate? Since you are on official business, please follow me into the house to report, and the rest of you wait outside the alley. ”
Hou Junji frowned, and said in his heart, you Li Junxian, Lao Tzu is a dignified general, when will it be your turn to teach me a lesson? But Rao was unhappy, and he didn't dare to blow up the thorns, so he turned his head and ordered: "Did you hear that?" They all withdrew from the alley and waited for me to come out at the mouth of the alley. ”
Li Junxian ordered his men to maintain order, and then walked into the tavern with Hou Junji.
