Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 59 Tai Lieutenant
"King Qin's style of life is dissolute, and it is normal to go straight up, but I am afraid that he is not the only one who will be eyeing Chen Jinqiu in the future." Lu Bupin stroked his beard and said, "Chen Pinggang is dead, and Chen Qiusheng is staying in Yanzhou again. Now in Chongdu, there is no one else in charge of the prison except Chen Jinqiu. Zheng Guo established the country by force and ruled the country, this Zheng State law overrides many powers, and it is the power that everyone dreams of. Motoyoshi."
Motoyoshi leaned over and bowed his head and said, "Yes."
"Protecting Chen Jinqiu is one thing, but it is also necessary to make good use of him." Lu Bupin said kindly, "When Liu Taijing comes back from the side, if you want to track down the old case, Chen Jinqiu is the biggest help."
"An old case?" Jiang Guo took the embroidered jacket and wiped the corners of the girl's oil-stained mouth, "Besides my grandfather's letter case, what else do you want to investigate?"
Yuan Ji looked at Lu Bupin, and Lu Bupin bowed slightly.
Yuan Ji then said, "Zhen's treason case."
Jiang Guo held the embroidered hand for a moment, and she asked in surprise, "Is this an unjust case?"
Lu Bupin squinted his eyes and said, "What happened in front of the Golden Palace back then, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not mention it. But even a blind man can hear that this is a deliberate frame by Pang Boyi. Moreover, in the fifth year of Zhongyong, General Zhen returned to the capital at the New Year to reunite with his family, and Pang Boyi also invited General Zhen to the New Year's banquet. Sikong Mansion, there are many masters, although the old man sent someone to investigate, but none of the people sent back, all of them sank into the sea, and the world evaporated. What happened before and after is too strange, maybe there is a reason why General Zhen was framed."
"Since the Yanzhou flower boat fire case that year, Pan Boyi has selected seven people from Shangshutai to replace the state pastor who died in the fire." Yuan Ji looked at Jiang Guo, "Yu Chengyue was brought up by Pang Boyi, he listened to Pang Boyi's words, and he also knew a lot about many things that Pang Boyi did secretly. If you want to pry his mouth open, you still have to use Zheng Guo's law to put pressure on him."
"So you weren't forced to stay by Takashihiro." Jiang Guo understood a little, she saw Yuan Ji's suspicious face, so she explained, "In the morning, I saw you go to Dongmen Street, and then Bai Yi and Chen Jinqiu came back, and I pulled him to ask. It's all he said."
"There is an opportunity right now, the mad bull of the Ximen Rongxing Gang wants to open a gambling house in the territory of the South Gate Golden Abacus, which has stepped on the bottom line of Gaocheng." Yuan Ji said as he glanced unconsciously, and suddenly saw the red bean hairpin tied on Jiang Guo's bun, he was slightly stunned before continuing, "Today, the Golden Abacus sent a few dancing girls to Gao Cheng, this is to discuss it. I'll set up a banquet for Gao Cheng tomorrow, and invite the mad bull and the golden abacus to discuss the opening of a gambling house, and by the way, the next one."
Jiang Guo asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
The girl had already eaten half a bun, and at the moment she was looking at the crumpled oiled paper in her hand in a daze.
Yuan Ji rubbed his fingers and said, "You'll find out tomorrow when you go with me."
Jiang Guo nodded in response, and then she turned her head sideways to look at the curtain hanging under the car window, the curtain fluttered, just like her heart, swaying with a dark sweetness.
He'll take me with him.
"The behavior of the four gangs in the Outer Nine Cities was set in the early years, and the rules have been around for some years." Lu Bupin's eyes narrowed very tightly, "The mad bull dares to step on the line of Gaocheng at this time, who gave him the guts?"
These words reminded Yuan Ji, and he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Xiao Er, who was driving the carriage, "You have to help me check."
Xiao Er drove the car, and the moment the curtain was lifted, he smelled the smell of buns wafting out of the carriage.
He sniffed his nose and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Yuan Ji's face was solemn, and he said, "Check where the mad bull has been and who he has seen recently. And the subordinates and women around him, even if they go to the Qinglou to spend the night, then you have to find out where the woman who slept with him came from."
"Hey, you're ......" Xiao Er muttered dissatisfied with Chaolu's dissatisfaction, "Master, will I listen to you or him in the future?"
"In the future, whatever Yuanji asks you to do, you will do it honestly, and I won't need you in the future." Lu Bupin closed his eyes and recuperated, "I need to go see an old friend."
Yuan Ji hesitantly guessed, "Tai Lieutenant?"
Lu Bupin opened his eyes to look at him, and then closed them again, and he said slowly, "Put the shrewdness in your stomach, and don't put it in your mouth."
Motoyoshi nodded
Didn't speak.
At this time, the girl suddenly looked at Jiang Guo with her little head held high.
Jiang Guo leaned over curiously and asked softly, "Little thing, six buns are not enough for your little belly?"
The girl looked at her intently and didn't answer, but just stuffed the half of the bun into Jiang Guo's mouth.
The sky of this Chongdu gradually dimmed at the end of the Shen period, and the starlight sprinkled the earth with the light of the waning moon.
In the spring, a notice was posted at the city gate, and in order to facilitate the farmers to go out to farm, the city gate was opened all night because there were people holding the gate at twelve hours.
After nightfall, the nine outer cities are like a busy market, and the vendors in the night market come out early in twos and threes, which will make the wide street congested and impassable. The hawkers put a dazzling array of goods on the shelves, such as dry goods, silks, jewelry, knick-knacks, etc., and the people who came out to shop were dizzying.
The craftsman who repaired the old utensils knocked on the chime with copper chopsticks, and the sound of puffing spread out, and in a blink of an eye it was overshadowed by the shouts of juggling in the square, which was also mixed with the sad sound of erhu.
The carriage slowly turned along the wheel canal, and in the dull crunch, the deer in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked at the strange scenery in the street. The thousands of expressions of the people fell on him one by one, and gradually made those old eyes show a deep tiredness.
He reluctantly lowered the curtain and sat in the dimly lit carriage, sighing silently.
"Master, I haven't returned to Chongdu for a long time, and it's still so lively." Xiao Er smiled enthusiastically, "The city gate was closed a few Chinese New Year's Eve ago, and no one who ran the rivers and lakes could enter. They all have to rent a room in a post house outside the city in advance, come in during the day and play at night. Hey!" He said a little happily, turned his head to the carriage and said, "They are all hard-working people, and they can't go back to the inn after a day's play, so they have to sleep on the street." I can't go out of the city to rest until dawn."
"You're a jack of all trades, you know a little bit about everything." Lu Bupin's voice floated out of the carriage, and there seemed to be a slight smile in his words, "Don't delay, the inner city gate is closed every night, hurry up and enter the city."
"Gotcha!" Xiao Er nodded seriously, and then flicked the reins, "Drive!"
The congested crowd consciously moved out of the way, and when the carriage reached the inner city gate, the soldiers of the Janissary Army who were guarding the gate stopped it. Xiao Er respectfully handed over the paperwork, and when the soldier looked at the seal on the paperwork, he shook his hand and motioned for the others to get out of the way without saying a word.
Xiao Er thanked him, and then drove into the inner city quickly, followed by a dead street, empty alleys, and spacious mansions.
The lights and bustle of the Outer Nine Cities seemed to be isolated by serious darkness, and the tall Qionglou Yuyu stood at the end of the empty street. The houses were dead and silent, broken only by the creaking of wheels that constantly reverberated through the streets.
The carriage stopped in front of a huge mansion, and Xiao Er helped Lu Bupin to get out of the car. He went up the stairs and knocked on the door, and in a moment a faint light came through the crack in the door, and the door slowly opened.
"You ......" The servant held a lantern close to Xiao Er's face and asked suspiciously, "It's so late, who are you looking for?"
"I'm tired of reporting it." Xiao Er took out the letter from his arms and handed it over, "Just say that the Chamber of Commerce is looking for the deer shopkeeper and asks to see Lord Taiwei."
"Chamber of Commerce?" The servant glanced down at the letter, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, the little one will go and inform the captain."
The servant hurriedly ran into the mansion, and it took a while for Mo to run back out of breath, and then led Lu Bupin towards the mansion.
Xiao Er stayed in front of the door to watch the car, chatting and farting with the servants guarding the door, and sometimes turning his head at random to check the left and right streets.
Lu Bupin was led to the study by the servant, and the servant knocked on the door and whispered, "Master, the deer shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce asks to see you."
"Let him in."
This voice is old, but it still exudes a full of vigor.
Lu Bupin pushed the door into the house, and when the door was closed, he bowed to the Taiwei sitting at the desk and said, "Master Taiwei, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"
"The body is okay, if you die early, the old man may be able to live better." The lieutenant snapped the scroll shut, "What are you doing back?" He has the air of a businessman, and he smells of copper from a distance." Chinese Net
Tai Lieutenant, Tian
Cangzhou.
He is a famous general in Zheng Guo's history who is still alive in the world. When Zheng State was founded, the western foreign domain was entrenched in Tongzhou, and Emperor Taizu was keen on killing, only expanding the territory, and did not emphasize the rule of law. The disadvantages of establishing a country by force are bad here, the people are still martial, the people are fierce, and they use their fists to make a truth if they are unreasonable.
And the position of Tai Lieutenant, when Zheng Guo was founded, there were many candidates, and everyone who went up and down did not end well, most of them were killed, and a few were exiled.
Until the first emperor Zheng Wu ascended the throne, he inherited the killing spirit of Emperor Taizu, implemented the martial order, and recruited new soldiers for training, intending to annihilate the western foreign vassals and expand the territory. And Tian Cangzhou climbed up from a soldier at that time, stepping on the bones of countless armor soldiers.
"The captain is the same as he was back then, bold and ambitious, and righteous and cloudy. Huh." Lu Bupin straightened up and smiled, "The grass people came this time, first, to reminisce about the past, and second, to ask the adults for a small favor."
"The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, you old ghost came to me to catch up? If you want to catch up with the old ones, then according to the law of Zheng Guo, I have to give you shackles first, and after the conversation, I have to send someone to send you to the border to repair the city wall." Tian Cangzhou threw the scroll on the table, "Hmph! If you have a fart, let it go, wait until you get out of this door, remember, I went to bed early tonight, and I haven't seen the deer shopkeeper of any chamber of commerce."
"Lord Taiwei is quick to talk, and the grass people will be in a nutshell." Lu Bupin stood like this, clasping his hands between his abdomen, "Dissatisfied with my lordship, just now the grass people entered the inner city from the outer nine cities, and saw the crowds on the street, mixed with the three sects and nine streams, I am afraid that even the soldiers patrolling the city will not be able to distinguish which ones are good and which are ......" He chuckled, "It's a bad person."
"There are words hidden in the words, and you are talking to me?" Tian Cangzhou pointed to the scroll on the table, "I'm literate, not a veteran who doesn't know a single character, you can fart when you fart, can you make a noise so that I can understand?"
