Chapter 60: The New Thousand Households
In Linjiang City, in a secluded small inn, a group of businessmen recently came and directly chartered this inn for half a month.
This group of people is also very generous, they don't talk about the price, they just give half a month's rent, but the innkeeper almost can't sleep, after all, this kind of generous guest may not be met once in a few years.
It's just that, as time goes by,
The innkeeper gradually realizes that something is not quite right.
These people claim to be merchants, but they don't have any goods, and they don't go to receive them, so they go in and out every day very mysteriously, and, slowly, the boss also discovers that these people don't look like ordinary businessmen, and these people act as if they have been specially trained.
Moreover, these people do nothing,
Every day is very regular, divided into several batches, they all go out at about the same time, and then come back at about the same time, and there is little communication with each other.
Slowly, the innkeeper began to panic in his heart,
These guys are definitely not businessmen.
When the boss became suspicious, he secretly observed, and slowly, he found that these people would disperse every day when they went out, inquire about news everywhere, and their whereabouts were secretive.
I endured it for days,
The innkeeper saw that these people had no intention of leaving, and his heart became more and more panicked, and the behavior and habits of these people and the things they did were too much like the detailed works of legend.
In the past few years, there have often been wars in the Xia Kingdom,
There is often news that the fine work has been arrested, and the government will be punished as the same crime for harboring the fine work and not reporting it, implicating the three clans.
After another night of mental torment, the innkeeper couldn't bear it anymore and went to the government office early in the morning to report the case.
The government also attaches great importance to this matter.
Immediately, the Inspection Department dispatched hundreds of arresters, and a historian of the Inspection Department personally led them into the inn.
However, to their surprise,
This group of people who are suspected of being meticulous work, when they saw so many fast catchers, they didn't panic at all, but stood in the hall very indifferently, and directly drew their knives to confront the fast catchers of the Inspection Division.
In the confusion of the historian, he noticed a middle-aged man in brocade clothes at the innermost.
The reason why I noticed it was because the group of people who were suspected of being meticulous were all standing, but the person was sitting, still drinking gruel slowly, as if he didn't notice the inspection department who rushed in at all.
"Alright, put away all the weapons!"
The middle-aged man took out a silk scarf and wiped his mouth gently, with a gentle smile on his face, which looked like a spring breeze.
"It's pretty much it."
The middle-aged man whispered, then beckoned gently.
A swordsman with a stern face beside him immediately took out a token from his arms and walked towards the inspection division.
When the dianshi saw the token, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I have seen Lord Qianhu, the lower officials don't know that Lord Qianhu is here, there is a lot of disturbance, please Haihan!" ”
Nadian Shi didn't suspect too much, Jinyiwei's token was specially made, and in addition, they also received news that a new Jinyiwei Qianhu would be in office in the near future.
Qianhu smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, this official has not gone to the government to report when he first arrived, and it is normal to have some misunderstandings." ”
The pawn Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that this newcomer to the Jinyi Wei Senhu is a very good talker.
"Let's go." Qianhu got up and said, "Since it's already like this, let's go directly to the mansion!" ”
Dian Shi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My lord, I don't know that my lord is on business, and I have disturbed my lord, so please forgive me." ”
"It's okay."
Qianhu came over to help Dianshi, and then looked at the innkeeper who was already pale with fright.
The innkeeper was already trembling with fright when Qianhu's identity was revealed, and his whole head was blank, and he was trembling all over.
Now it's been looked at by a thousand households,
Suddenly paralyzed, he fell to his knees, and said in a panic: "My lord...... Spare ...... The little one doesn't know who you are...... The little one thought it was finely made...... That's ...... That's ......"
"Old man, please get up." Qianhu smiled and helped the innkeeper up, and said, "You are also thinking about the country, and it is a good thing to have this vigilance!" ”
The innkeeper stood up tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...... Burst! ”
Before the innkeeper finished speaking, a red line suddenly appeared on his neck, which spread in an instant, and blood sprayed out in an instant, and he fell down with a full of unwillingness and dazedness.
At that moment,
The Dianshi and the group of catchers were all pale with fright, and looked at Qianhu in horror.
And that Qianhu escaped from the silk scarf and gently wiped the dagger in his hand, still with that spring breeze smile on his face.
But, now, his smile makes people shudder.
Qianhu gently wiped the blood on his face, smiled and said, "It's a good thing for the people to be vigilant, but if it's in the way of the official's business, it's a bad thing, right?" ”
Dian Shi swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Yes...... Yes, my lord is right, this old thing falsely accuses officials, and it should be killed! ”
Qianhu smiled slightly,
He patted Dianshi's shoulder lightly, stuffed the dagger into Dianshi's shoulder, and then beckoned and led the people out of the inn.
In the lobby of the inn,
Dian Shi was trembling all over his body with the dagger, and it took a long time before he took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat on his face, and ordered: "Don't be stunned, get rid of this place!" ”
……
The government office, in the inner courtyard.
Yang Yunzhi, the prefect of Linjiang County, was having breakfast with his wife and children, when a staff member hurriedly walked in and muttered a few words in Yang Yunzhi's ear.
Yang Yunzhi frowned and said, "After so many years, why is Wan Yan's murderous nature still so heavy?" ”
The staff member said in a low voice: "If Lord Wan is not murderous, why did he become a thousand households now?" However, he can be regarded as somewhat restrained, otherwise, he would not have died alone! ”
Yang Yunzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not that he has reined in, but he has already investigated the situation in Linjiang Mansion and knows that the inspection department is all my people." ”
The staff member was surprised: "What do you mean by saying that Lord Wan's delay in showing up is to inquire about Linjiang City's information?" ”
"He's this character," Yang Yunzhi said: "He has always only believed in himself, so no matter how perfect the intelligence information I give him, he will investigate it himself, but it doesn't matter, he just comes, although I don't like his virtue very much, but now in Linjiang Mansion, he really has to come to break the situation." ”
The staff nodded and said, "Lord Wan's temperament is somewhat similar to that of the new Baihu Gu Chop......
Yang Yunzhi got up and went out and said, "It's a little similar, but Gu Shu is far worse than Wan Yan in all aspects, forget it, don't talk about it, go see Wan Yan!" ”
