Chapter 261: Wu Yuanheng
After all, the things in the Emperor's Treasury over there in Zhongnan Mountain are not very convenient to use now......
After coming out of the Wu Mansion, Xiao Yunhe's mood became much better. Not to mention that getting 500 flying dragon riders for nothing is the most tricky grain tax case at the moment. There is also a general solution. Although Wu Zhongru did not provide too favorable clues, at least it reminded Xiao Yunhe that there was no need to investigate further. As long as the current food shortage can be alleviated, those traitors who hoard and live in strange places will gain benefits and profits, and the goal should be achieved. There's no going to be anything else. If you want to fundamentally solve the food shortage in Guannai, you can only count on the imperial court to recover Bianzhou and reopen the Grand Canal navigation road. This thing. The old man had already made an idea, and sent the Holy Sage to the neighboring states and counties of Bianzhou, and asked the envoys of the local festival there to lead troops to conscript. If he can't clean it up at that time, Xiao Yunhe may be able to get another opportunity to lead his troops to the battle.
Although I was a little busy, after all, I had an enterprising goal, and my life was full......
Back at the Han Palace, Xiao Yunhe set off with the dozen or so guards non-stop and went straight to the imperial city. Xu Wansong, the imperial historian, Zhang Ting, the scholar of the Chinese Academy, Tao Cheng, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Zuorong, the master craftsman of the general supervisor, etc. They are all Lu Sheng's close henchmen, since the emperor has spoken to spare them, why don't you get rid of them quickly? It just so happened that Du Huangshang and Li Jingluo came to take refuge in the Han Palace, leaving a vacancy, so that they could go up. Now is such a great opportunity. Wouldn't it be a pity to insert a few people into important positions in the court!
Xiao Yunhe and his party. Although there were only more than ten iron horsemen, it brought a wave of panic and anxiety to the imperial city. All the officials in the court know that at the moment, the King of Han is being ordered to thoroughly investigate Lu Sheng's party, and the scene in front of him is definitely where to get people. There were more people in the court who had anything to do with Lu Sheng, and for a while, everyone was in danger, and there was a tense atmosphere in all subordinates, ya, Taiwan, and mansions in the entire imperial city.
Xiao Yunhe took this team of iron armor and went straight to the Yushitai. Xu Wansong, the imperial historian, was anxiously handling official business in the imperial history platform, and when he heard the summons of the king of Han, his face turned white with fright. As soon as his hand trembled, the brush fell, and he muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over!"
More than ten iron armor did not take the more than 100 officials, subordinate soldiers, and prison officials of the Yushitai in their eyes, and went straight to the inner room of the Yushitai and took Xu Wansong out.
Xiao Yunhe looked at Xu Wansong, who was trembling all over, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xu Wansong, as the imperial historian, you are in charge of the punishment and monitoring of the court, and you are in charge of civil criminal litigation, but you don't know how to clean yourself up, and you have committed a great heinous crime with Lu Shengwolf Bèi! This king is ordered to investigate and deal with you. Come on, remove the black veil on Xu Wansong's top and fade off the official robe, and take it down!"
"Yes!" Song Liangchen and Tang Hanchen, the two most powerful men, rushed forward, ripped off Xu Wansong's clothes and hat, and then tied a hemp rope strongly. Xu Wansong also knew that it was difficult to escape, so he had to sigh again and again, his face was like ashes, and he didn't dare to be cunning.
"Xu Wansong, you have also entered this Yushitai Prison more than once, but you never thought that you would be imprisoned today, right?" Xiao Yunhe said coldly, "Put the prisoner Xu Wansong into the Yushitai Prison and wait for interrogation." β
The people of Yushitai and others were all frightened at this time, where did anyone dare to stand up and squeak. King Han used thunderous means to take down this three-rank imperial historian who was more powerful than the prime minister and the third duke, which obviously frightened them.
The news of the investigation of the Imperial Doctor spread to the entire imperial city in an instant, and there was an uproar. Many officials, big and small, who were very close to Lu Sheng, couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground in order to get out.
In fact, Xiao Yunhedi's thinking is very clear, for the time being, he only needs to catch a few big traitors and evils to achieve the goal of setting an example. Don't the others bow down to themselves?
Leaving the Imperial Historical Observatory, Xiao Yunhe took the people to the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of War, and the general was the prisoner, and the Zhongshu Sheren Zhang Ting, the military department Shangshu Tao Cheng, and the general master craftsman Wang Zuorong, these officials with prominent official residences and the closest relationship with Lu Sheng were arrested, and all of them were thrown into the Yushitai Prison.
By this time, the King of Han had almost become the embodiment of the King of Hades in the imperial city. I don't know how many people are secretly worried and can't live all day. I'm afraid that at any time, King Han's life-killing rope will be put on his head.
Xiao Yunhe didn't have time to pay attention to the pile of worrying shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and ran into the Daming Palace by himself to find the emperor.
The old man was about to leave the imperial study and go back to the harem to rest, when he happened to be bumped into by Xiao Yunhe in front of the door of Hanyuan Palace.
"Yunhe came to the palace to see me at this time, is there anything important?" the old man asked when he saw Xiao Yunhe looking busy and hurried. "Returning to His Majesty, the minister has been ordered to take down the Imperial Doctor and others and throw them into prison. Xiao Yunhe said, "But these important positions, such as the Imperial Doctor, the Secretary of the Military Department, etc., cannot be left without one for a day." The minister had the courage to recommend a few talents to His Majesty and pick up these heavy burdens in front of him. At present, it is not only necessary to investigate Lu Sheng's henchmen, but also to investigate the grain tax case, and the Yushitai is short of manpower!"
"Oh, tell me about it?" the old man knew that it was indeed important. I was also thinking in my heart: This Xiao Yunhe, what a fast hand and foot......
After doing his best, he said to the old man: "The imperial historian is more prime minister than the third public power, and it is difficult to find a suitable person to take over for a while. However, Chen JianyΓ¬, is it possible to let the respected Mrs. Yan serve as the inspector of the imperial history and temporarily deal with the affairs of the imperial history platform. Mrs. Yan is a master of the dynasty, and he must be temporarily appointed as the imperial doctor, first, to serve the public, and secondly, he is also capable enough to be competent for this position. β
"Mrs. Yan is indeed a suitable candidate. He is the only one who can temporarily take over the Imperial Doctor. The old man also expressed his approval and said, "In this way, I immediately issued an order to hire Mrs. Yan as the imperial historian of the school, and sit on the imperial history platform to preside over major affairs." Now, when the country is in trouble, I have no choice but to aggrieved the old lady to abandon her idleness and go out of the mountain again. β
"Thank you!" Xiao Yunhe was happy in his heart, and said with his hand, "In addition, the minister also has to recommend two people." One is the former superintendent of the imperial history Li Jingluo, who once gave up his official position because of Li Huaiguang...... This person has a good character and is a decent person, and he can return to his old business and return to the Imperial Historical Observatory, and serve as an assistant in the old master Yan; β
"Oh, it's okay......" The old man didn't have anything else to say about this mention, it was clear that Xiao Yunhe was looking for him to ask for a little favor. So he said: "Li Jingluo, I have also heard of this person. Let him return to the Imperial History Terrace, and be promoted to the first rank, appointed as the Imperial History Zhongcheng, and assist the old lady Yan from the side. After all, Li Huaiguang is also a great hero now, and his old wingmen have returned, and I can't treat him badly. As for Du Huangshang, let him be in the military department under your Shang Shuling. Let's be a waiter from the fourth grade!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly in his heart: Old man, now you have become more generous.
Xiao Yunhe thought so, although Yu Shi Zhongcheng was a four-grade petty official who was not very eye-catching, but his current responsibilities were heavy. Mrs. Yan inspected the imperial history doctor, and Li Jingluo served as the imperial historian...... When Mrs. Yan retired, there was great hope that Li Jingluo would be straightened out! As for Du Huangsheng's squire in the military department, he was a dispensable idle official, but after all, he also made a leap into the three provinces and six departments. The rank was raised. It will be much easier to promote him in the future! As for the other people in the palace, such as Gao Gu and others, they are basically biased towards military attachΓ©s; at present, they do not have exact military power in their hands, and it is not easy to arrange for them for the time being. Just let them bend in the Han Palace.
Regarding Xiao Yunhe's requests, the old man still felt that it was not too much. Is Yu Shitai indeed poor, Yan Shizhang is also very suitable, and in addition, he only placed two insignificant fourth-grade officials in, which is not abrupt. After all, he had a close relationship with the King of Han, the two prime ministers and the Zhongshu Order. Tomorrow he will leave the capital with his troops. In comparison, compensating him for two four-rank ranks is nothing.
So, the old man didn't think about anything. also warmly invited Xiao Yunhe to have dinner together before leaving. Xiao Yunhe said that he was busy with affairs, so he left the palace and went straight back to the mansion.
Today is the end of the day. After finishing these things, Xiao Yunhe really felt very busy and tired. When I got home, I let out a long breath and relaxed.
The newcomers, Du Huangshang and others, have been properly settled, and are greeting some old people in the Han Palace. Gao Gu and Song Liangchen. These two people who first followed Xiao Yunhe have now become the most respected seniors among their colleagues in the Han Dynasty's subordinates, and they are often invited to drink and eat. Xiao Yunhe is also happy to let those people get along with each other, after all, it is like-minded people who get together, and I believe they should be able to get along.
It's time for dinner. Gao Gu and the others took the newcomers Guo Gang and Du Huangsheng and others, and left the Han Wangfu together. went to the West City Restaurant to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them. Xiao Yunhe, who had been tired and busy all day, rarely settled quietly and stayed in the house to rest.
After dinner, Xiao Yunhe returned to the study and took out the scroll, preparing to finish the last bit of those boxing and martial arts scores. Five hundred flying dragon riders are about to be added to the mansion, and now that there are a few more generals, it's time for them to practice their personal martial arts. At present, the scale of the Han Wangfu is not too large, and it is not easy to blatantly conduct any military battle formation training. However, it is still possible to let the soldiers practice martial arts in private. In the backyard, in addition to the corner of the pavilion, there is also such a large open space, which was probably used as a polo field before, and is still abandoned. Instead, they can clean up and build some houses to house those flying dragon riders, and they can also be used as a place for them to practice martial arts on weekdays.
Xiao Yunhe was thinking and writing at the same time. On the table at hand, a light and delicate hot soup appeared, glowing with a lock of heat and fragrance. Xiao Yunhe turned his head to take a look, and Sophie was standing aside with low eyebrows, ready to retreat.
"Fei'er, have you had dinner?" Xiao Yunhe looked at the quiet little girl with a smile and said, "You go and rest by yourself, I don't have to wait here." β
Sophie nodded lightly: "The maid has eaten, thank you for your concern." The maid saw that the adults were busy these days, and she was afraid that the adults would be tired and hurt her body, so she stewed some ginseng soup and asked the adults to make up for her body. β
Xiao Yunhe picked up the soup cup, opened the lid and smelled it, and praised it loudly: "It's so fragrant!
"Yes, I stewed the old hen with my own hands and boiled it for two or three hours!" Sophie heard Xiao Yunhe's praise, and said softly with a little joy, "Adults, drink it while it's hot, it's cold, it's easy to get cold." When this soup was still in Huayuan, Miss Wu taught me to stew it. She told me that men seem to be strong, but they should also pay attention to tonics, otherwise they will grow old easily. This kind of soup is the most suitable for people like adults. β
"Okay, then I'll drink. Xiao Yunhe smiled and tasted the soup, which was really tender. I simply drank it in one gulp. Sophie watched happily from the sidelines, her big eyes shining with brilliance.
"Delicious. Xiao Yunhe drank it and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"Is it okay for the maid to stew for the adults in the future?" said Sophie Er happily and a little shyly, "The maid heard that the adult is about to marry, just to make up for her body...... Give birth to a fat son!"
"Hehe, Fei'er. Where did you hear this news?" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm strong, so I don't have to drink it every day." When the time comes...... If necessary, it can be stewed for the future princess of Dihan to drink. β
"Well, the servant knows. The adults are busy, so the servants don't bother. Sophie stepped forward lightly. took the soup cup and quietly withdrew. Xiao Yunhe saw a trace of loneliness from her expression, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: But all women always like to be jealous. Sophie heard that I was going to take a concubine. A woman like her from a family background, compared with me, has a gap of 108,000 miles, at most, she can only be a concubine who is slightly stronger than a maid, but she doesn't even have the power to be jealous......
Hey, right...... Xiao Yunhe suddenly woke up: These two days. The little queen is a little cold to me, could it be because she knows that I am going to marry?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly. I went on to do my own thing. Heroes are short of breath, and children are long. Now is the time to do serious things and do big things, and I really don't have much time to think about these things. Miss Wu Family, if it weren't for the need for many political interests, Xiao Yunhe would not have had the time to deal with it at this time.
As night fell, Xiao Yunhe finally finished writing this last thing, and couldn't help but yawn and stretch his waist. I sorted out the paperwork. As long as it is handed over to Gao Gu and the others tomorrow, it will be fine.
When he walked out of the study, Xiao Yunhe happened to see the door of the palace and walked in two people. One tall and one short is very obvious, and apparently one of them is still a child. Xiao Yunhe shouted: "Wang Zhennan, is that you?"
"Ahh It's an adult!" the man replied in the darkness. hurriedly led the child over. Needless to say, the child brought with him must be Fang Ci!
The two walked in front of Xiao Yunhe, and Fang Ci's child knelt in front of Xiao Yunhe early, kowtowed again and again: "Meet Lord Han, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
"Hehe, okay. At a young age, he knows how to count etiquette. Xiao Yunhe smiled kindly, "Little girl, have you done everything for your mother?"
Wang Zhennan on the side replied on his behalf: "Back to the adult's words, according to the adult's instructions, he helped Fang Ci to take care of the affairs of the family and the land before bringing him back." Fang's mother's body has been cremated, and her ashes have been brought with Fang Ci along with the spiritual tablets of Fang Ci's parents, so that she can always worship and pay homage. β
"Well, that's good. Xiao Yunhe patted Fang Ci's thin shoulder and said, "Little girl, from now on, you will live well in this Han Palace, just like your own home, you know? I will ask a teacher to teach you to read and write, or practice martial arts." Which one do you prefer?"
"I ...... I like to practice martial arts!" Fang Ci didn't see much of the world, and muttered in horror at this time, "My father was a soldier, and he died on the battlefield. I want to carry on my father's legacy, and I will also go to the battlefield, kill the enemy, and become a general!"
"Oh, what a sensible child!" Xiao Yunhe said with some surprise, "At a young age, his ambitions are very big. I tell you that if you want to be a good general, you must first read and write, you know? In the future, you will have to read and write every day, and there are many generals in the palace who will teach you martial arts, so you should cherish the opportunity and learn hard!"
"Well, I must study seriously and study hard!" Fang Ci looked up at the inky black sky, and said with some sadness, "Because my mother ...... You're still watching me from heaven!"
Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, "Wang Zhennan, take the little girl to the East Wing Courtyard and arrange a place for him to live." Later, I will ask Ju Wenzhen to send someone over and accompany him for a while. After all, it's still a child, and you all take care of it a little more. β
"Yes, sir. Wang Zhennan clenched his fists and was about to take Fang Ci away, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and came back and said: "My lord, there is another thing that I almost forgot about my humble position." When he left Huayuan, he saw that something seemed to have happened in Huayuan County. Many people were gathered there, and the water was blocked. Listening to the people nearby, it seems that Lord Lingwu of Huayuan County is going to be arrested by Shangguan because of something. Many people in Huayuan have besieged the officials and knelt down to petition for the Wuxian Order!"
"What, there is such a thing?!" Xiao Yunhe asked angrily, "Who dares to arrest Wu Yuanheng? His Shangguan is none other than Liu Dehai, the assassin of Yongzhou who does not know death?"
"This ...... Humble office is not so clear. Wang Zhennan shook his head blankly, "However, it seems that Wuxian Ling was indeed taken to Yongzhou." β
"Alright, there you go. Xiao Yunhe waved his hand, his brows locked, and he thought hatefully in his heart: It's really hateful! In the Huayuan area, who doesn't know that Wu Yuanheng has a close relationship with me, and he himself is also a good official. There are still people who embarrass him, isn't this a blatant provocation to me?!
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Besides, if Wu Yuanheng has three longs and two shorts, it will be a big loss, and it will be too late to regret it!" "Come on!" Xiao Yunhe shouted loudly, and immediately two armor soldiers ran in front of him, bowed their hands and responded loudly: "Here!"
"You two, take a few servants to the West Market, and do your best to get Gao Gu and the others back for me. Just say, this king is in a hurry!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Yunhe snorted twice in his nose, and secretly thought to himself: Liu Dehai, the assassin of Yongzhou, it is better not that you are embarrassing Wu Yuanheng. I let you go before, more to protect Wu Yuanheng, and I don't want to make more enemies for him. Right now, I'm thoroughly investigating Lu Sheng's party, and I can uproot you at will, so that you die without a place to be buried!
Not long after, Gao Gu and others hurriedly returned from the West Market. Song Liangchen was still a little drunk, and he didn't know that he was being supported by someone in the clouds.
Xiao Yunhe glanced at these people and shouted: "People put on armor, saddle immediately, and rush to Huayuan overnight! Du Huangsheng, Li Jingluo, Guo Gang, and Song Liangchen stayed behind to guard the palace. Everyone else, all set off with this king!"
"Yes!" Gao Gu and the others knew that something had happened, and they shouted in unison, and they were mighty. Song Liangchen, who was drunk, was also frightened awake, and watched everyone go busy with a blank face, but there was nothing to do with him.
In the middle of the night, in the much-watched Han Palace, a majestic iron horse galloped out and went straight to the gate of the national capital.
The iron-blooded guards of the Han Palace, after being idle for a while, galloped together again, as if they had the feeling of going into battle to kill the enemy. These warriors who came out of the pile of dead people already had an aura of ferocity that was different from ordinary people. Now that he has received Xiao Yunhe's order, it is like a mad shark that has been addicted to the smell of blood, and his whole body has erupted with a chilling murderous aura.
The guards of the city guarding Mingde Gate, when they saw this battle, almost didn't dare to come forward to interrogate them. In a hurry, he opened the gate of the national capital, which had long been closed, and let Xiao Yunhe and his party out of the city.
In the night, on the empty official road, more than a dozen horsemen galloped quickly, and the sound of horses' hooves became a sound. These war horses that have undergone night battle training are not comparable to ordinary horses. There was not the slightest cowardice in the night, and the speed was no less than that of the day.
Gao Gu had been following half a horse away from Xiao Yunhe, and he vaguely felt that something big might have happened today. Although the king of Han did not make the purpose of this trip clear, Gao Gu clearly knew: At present, the affairs in the capital city are busy, and it is to investigate Lu Sheng's traitorous party, and it is to investigate the case of grain tax, but at this time, the king of Han rushed to Huayuan in the middle of the night, and something important must have happened.
What others think is similar to Gao Gu. There was almost no one on the road who said a word, so they just rushed to Huayuan at dawn. Almost all of the BMW that stepped down was foaming at the mouth.
Xiao Yunhe left two people to take care of the horses, and took Gao Gu, Tang Hanchen and others to the Huayuan County Ya. When I arrived at the gate of the county office, it happened that the gate had just opened. When the two sleepy-eyed officials saw a group of people rushing towards them, they suddenly woke up in fright. If you take a closer look, it's amazing! The people who came all wore long swords around their waists, wearing a bright light battle armor, and their expressions were fierce and domineering. Take a closer look, the man at the head. Isn't it the King of Han who came not long ago?
Xiao Yunhe was still wearing a purple dragon robe, with a three-beam crown on his head, but the officials felt that he was even more terrifying than those stubborn armorers!
Xiao Yunhe's eyes were like knives, he looked at the two officials, and said in a deep voice: "Where is your county order?"
"Hui, Hui, Lord!" said the official in a panic, "In the back hall of the county ya, I am changing my clothes and preparing to be promoted to the director of the church." β
"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe exclaimed suspiciously. Raise your feet and walk towards the county office. Tang Hanchen Niu Gao Ma Da followed Xiao Yunhe's side, stretched out his hand, and pushed the two officials who were a little in the way to the side, staggered and almost fell. The official didn't dare to come out, so he had to secretly cover his somewhat stuffy chest on the side. Seeing that King Han led a team of armor soldiers to break into the county office, he thought in horror: These people, all of them are Hades, where do they dare to provoke......
In this world right now, who is not afraid of being a soldier? Not to mention. The person who brought the troops here today is still the generalissimo who is powerful and has lost the lives of 10,000 people under his hands - King Han!
When Xiao Yunhe walked to the county government hall and went to the ground, a team of people inside rushed out. The first green-robed officer. The officials who led the officials knelt down in panic to greet them: "Cheng Zhouping, the lowly Huayuan County, meet the Han King Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
"Zhou Ping?" Xiao Yunhe was too lazy to be polite to him, and said stiffly, "What about the Wuxian order?"
"Hui, Hui, Lord Hui......" Zhou Ping was obviously frightened by the formation in front of him, and said with a little stammering, "Wuxian Lingyin...... Suspected of corruption and abuse of power, he was sent by the Yongzhou Assassin to ask for it. Right now, Lord Assassin Shi has made his humble post temporarily take over the post of county commander. Handle Huayuan's official business. β
"Wu Yuanheng is corrupt and abuses his power?!" Xiao Yunhe's voice rose sharply, and he shouted angrily, "Zhou Ping, you stand up and tell what happened." Explain the details to the king clearly! The others wait, stand down. Each to his post. β
A group of officials only hated their father and mother for having a pair of legs, and they flashed in panic.
Zhou Ping said in a snort: "Early yesterday morning, Yongzhou suddenly sent Fa Cao and the local officials in the state capital to come over, and sent out an official document to arrest the Wuxian order. They...... Didn't say much. It is just that Wu County ordered that he was suspected of perverting the law for bribes and abusing his power, and that he would be detained in Yongzhou for interrogation. Wu Xian Ling didn't make much defense, and followed them. β
"It's really unreasonable!" Xiao Yunhe shouted, and his angry hands slammed into fists, "Liu Dehai, you dare to take revenge for yourself, you are really impatient!"
Zhou Ping trembled in fright, took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Yunhe glanced at Zhou Ping with a squint, raised his hand and said, "Let's go, go to Yongzhou!" Gao Gu and the others shouted in unison: "Yes!"
But Xiao Yunhe thought about it for a while, turned back to Zhou Ping and asked, "What about Sister Wu Yuanhengdi?"
"Miss Wu, I left the county office at noon yesterday and left Huayuan. I don't know where she went. Zhou Ping lowered his head and said timidly.
At this time, Wu Qiyun left Huayuan, could it be that he went to Yongzhou to redress his brother's grievances? Xiao Yunhe thought to himself for a while, and immediately turned around and left Huayuan with people.
The cadres and others in the Huayuan County Yali invariably wiped their cold sweat and let out a long breath.
The group simply ate some dry food, let the horses rest a little, and immediately set off for Yongzhou. The capital of Yongzhou Prefecture is not too far from Huayuan, thirty or fifty miles away, and it will not take long to arrive. Xiao Yunhe and his party appeared in Huayuan like this, which also shocked the people. Some people recognized him as the king of Han, and they secretly spread the word of mouth with joy: The king of Han is here, and the Wuxian order is saved!
The war horse, which was accustomed to sprinting and running, galloped on the Pingchuan Road, and arrived in Yongzhou not long after. Yongzhou is the upper state of Guannei, and it is also a military important place. The fortified places of the city are relatively well guarded, and pedestrians passing by are often checked. But almost none of the soldiers defending the city dared to come forward to interrogate the team of armor soldiers led by Prince Zi Robe, and they all stood straight so that Xiao Yunhe and his party rushed straight into Yongzhou City.
After inquiring casually and asking where the Assassin's Mansion was, Xiao Yunhe and the others went directly to the door of the mansion without stopping. There was a team of officials on duty in front of the Assassin's Mansion who were also frightened, but they still stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask...... General, what is the purpose of coming to the Assassin's Mansion?"
Gao Gu looked at the little official who stepped forward to interrogate him, and said in a deep voice: "Come in and ask your Lord Thorn Shi to come out to greet you." Let's just say, Lord Han is here!"
"King Han?!" the little official glanced at Xiao Yunhe in shock. hurriedly bowed, "Wait a minute, the villain will go in and report immediately." β
"Presumptuous!" Gao Gu shouted, "You actually dare to let the King of Han wait for a thorn in front of the mansion?"
"Ahh With that, he ran away without looking back.
Xiao Yunhe took more than ten people behind him. swaggered into the Thorn Mansion. Shangzhou Assassin History, the official residence of the three products, and the rule of more than a dozen counties, can also be regarded as a feudal official. But in Xiao Yunhedi's eyes, it is just an inconspicuous small role.
It didn't take a few steps into the house. Liu Dehai, the assassin of the history, with a group of government officials, greeted him in surprise, and knelt down to worship: "Liu Dehai, the assassin of Yongzhou, led his colleagues from the government to pay homage to the Han King Chitose! Please forgive me!"That's it!" Xiao Yunhe scolded angrily, "Liu Dehai, this king is not in the mood to be polite to you today! Let him come out to see the king!"
A scarlet-robed official behind Liu Dehai knelt on the ground and climbed a few steps forward, and said in a panic: "Humble, lowly Yongzhou Facao Song Pinglian, meet your lordship." β
"Song Pinglian, this king asks you. Xiao Yunhe looked at him condescendingly and said, "Huayuan County Commander Wu Yuanheng, did you bring someone to arrest him?"
"Yes. It is ...... of humble duty to catch it" Song Pinglian's voice trembled a little.
"Then you tell this king clearly now, what did he Wu Yuanheng do?" Xiao Yunhedi's intention couldn't be clearer: Wu Yuanheng is my person, and you Yongzhou Assassin Mansion dare to move?!
Song Ping swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nervously: "I received a complaint from others, saying that Huayuan County ordered Wu Yuanheng. Abuse of power to oppress good people, and corrupt the law to enrich their own pockets. After the report was announced, Lord Assassin agreed. The case was filed and reviewed by the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion, and the humble post also arrived in Huayuan, and Wu Yuanheng was summoned to the court. β
"So, do you still have evidence to act according to the law?" Xiao Yunhe sneered and sarcastically, "That's right, Liu Dehai." I haven't seen it for a few days, but it's grown. β
Liu Dehai was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head when he lay on the ground, and muttered: "Humble, lowly and don't dare to ......"
"Without further ado, this king is going to meet Wu Yuanheng now. Xiao Yunhe shouted irrefutably, "No matter where he is, take this king to see him now." β
"This ......" Liu Dehai hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "My lord, Wu Yuanheng is suspected of committing a crime and is currently being imprisoned. If you insist on seeing him, you can bring him with you. But it is inconvenient for adults to enter the prison......"
"What's so convenient or inconvenient?" Xiao Yunhe shouted impatiently, "Don't say it's a prison, it's just that the king has walked back and forth a few times in the pile of dead people." Don't be wordy, you personally lead the way, and now take this king to see Wu Yuanheng!"
"Yes......" Liu Dehai reluctantly agreed, led Xiao Yunhe stubbornly, and walked towards the prison of the Assassin's Mansion.
Gao Gu and the others followed closely behind Xiao Yunhe with a strong and stubborn face, leaving the others in the Assassin's Mansion far behind. Liu Dehai led the way in front, feeling more like they were escorting themselves to prison, with layers of cold sweat on their backs.
Xiao Yunhe glanced at him from time to time with ill intentions, but he really wanted to cut him down at any time, venting his grievances. But after thinking about it carefully, Liu Dehai is a person who has met with him and been warned, and it stands to reason that he should not have the courage to use Wu Yuanheng again. And judging from the situation just now, although he was a little panicked, he was not afraid of anything.
Could it be that this three-grade assassin has no fear in his heart? Before finding out the truth, Xiao Yunhe had to spare this Liu Dehai for the time being and see the situation.
The prison has arrived. This kind of place is naturally dark, damp and smelly. When Xiao Yunhe saw Wu Yuanheng for the first time, he almost couldn't recognize him. The handsome boy who was dressed in white, personable, and extraordinary in his demeanor was almost indistinguishable from the hooligans and bandits in other cells now. Dressed in tattered white, covered in mud and bloodstained with the whip, his hair disheveled and withered, he was sitting limply in a corner of his cell, seemingly asleep.
Xiao Yunhe angrily grabbed Liu Dehai's chest and clothes, almost picked him up, and said angrily through gritted teeth: "Liu Dehai, you despicable and shameless villain! Wu Yuanheng has just been locked up for a day, and he has been made like this by you. You are clearly taking revenge for personal gain! If he has any three strengths and two shortcomings, this king will tell you: You will die a miserable death!"
"This, this! This is not a matter of humble duty!" Liu Dehai shouted in panic, "This case was tried by Fa Cao, and he didn't have time to ask about his humble duties." And...... Moreover, it is not uncommon for jailers to whip prisoners. If you want to blame, go to the jailers, maybe they beat people for bribes and benefits......
"Full of farts!" Xiao Yunhe was furious, threw Liu Dehai aside, and slammed it on the wooden pillar of the prison, causing him to cry out in pain. Gao Gu pulled out the knife and shouted in a deep voice: "If you dare to ghost again, I will cut your tongue!"
Liu Dehai glanced at Gao Gu in shock, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out. At this moment, Wu Yuanheng in the prison may have woken up, and said a little weakly: "Could it be Lord Hanwang?"
"Bo Cang, it's this king!" Xiao Yunhe opened the cell door, strode in, squatted beside him and said, "You...... Are you alright?"
Wu Yuanheng got up with difficulty, as if he wanted to get up and salute Xiao Yunhe, but Xiao Yunhe hurriedly stopped him. Wu Yuanheng's face was as pale as paper, but he showed a difficult smile, shook his head and said, "Thanks to Lord Hongfu, the humble position is fine......
Seeing Wu Yuanheng's appearance, Xiao Yunhe's heart was painful and angry, he took a long breath to calm down, and said calmly: "Bocang, what's going on? Even if it's a big thing, this king will take care of it for you. If you have been wronged, the king will surely give you justice. β
Wu Yuanheng glanced at Liu Dehai outside the prison door, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled indifferently, and said: "The kindness of the adults, the humble duty is considered to be understood." But...... This time, it seems that he has not suffered any grievances, and he deserves it. My lord is busy with official business, so let's ignore the humble duties, return to the national capital early, and get down to business!"
"What?!" Xiao Yunhe was surprised and couldn't help but shout.
Xiao Yunhe thought that when Wu Yuanheng saw him, he would breathe a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior, and then tell the truth of the matter clearly. Unexpectedly, it was such a result.
For a while, Xiao Yunhe was also a little confused, not knowing what Wu Yuanheng was thinking in his heart. If he wants to believe that people like Wu Yuanheng will be corrupt and pervert the law, it will never be possible. Could it be that there is a deep secret in this?
Xiao Yunhe stared at Wu Yuanheng with his eyebrows tightly locked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, in addition to shock, he was more confused.
Wu Yuanheng was whipped and punished, and he looked a little weak, but he still smiled and said, "My lord, I am humble...... Tell the truth. It's really a despicable violation of the criminal law and a disappointment to the adults......"
Xiao Yunhe snorted sullenly: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Wu Yuanheng closed his eyes a little dejectedly, and sighed lightly: "My lord...... It's better to believe. β
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yunhe felt that he had something to say, and immediately asked.
That's what it means. Wu Yuanheng closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the stone wall a little weakly, and said, "Despicability, it is indeed deserved...... The lord is also a law-abiding person, and the prince who is responsible for his own crime is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and must not disturb the laws of the country because of his humble position. What crime and punishment should be punished, there is a judgment of the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion according to the law, and the adults must not be arbitrarily obstructed, and give people a handle!"
