Imperial Capital Chapter 18 Gossip Lian Subo, the little lord of the play

During the period of Emperor Kangyang, there was a test on Jinyiwei, and the test results did not meet Emperor Kangyang's expectations. After all, Emperor Kangyang is the first grandmaster emperor in the history of Zhengyang, and in his eyes, whether it is the Jinyi Guard, or other guards, the army, is just a weak scum.

And after that disappointment, Emperor Kangyang ordered a special assessment of Jinyiwei, and after the assessment, Jinyiwei died a fellow acquaintance, six thousand households, hundreds of households and below......

Although the mortality rate is extremely high, but after the assessment, Emperor Kangyang still found a lot of good seedlings, and now the commander of Jinyiwei Wang Zhongjie and the commander of Nanzhen Fusi Tongzhi Dai De'an are all people who have been assessed and then quickly promoted.

However, this kind of assessment only lasted for three years, after all, the mortality rate was too high, and it was not conducive to the control of Jinyiwei's personnel, after all, there was a death test every year, and many Jinyiwei would rather take off their flying fish suits than send them to death.

Speaking of this assessment method, it is actually very simple, it is nothing more than to take a person from death row who is equivalent to your position, put it in the crowd, and the Jinyi guard is responsible for arresting him back, or killing him.

However, there can be no civilian casualties in this process, and if they do, the assessment will fail immediately.

Death row prisoners naturally needless to say, if the result is more serious, the Jinyi guard who is assessed may also be convicted for this!

After listening to Senior Brother Cheng's explanation of this assessment, Liu Xin's face became even more gloomy.

"Bing Ministry! Looks like someone is trying to me! Liu Xin slapped the table, such an obvious target, it was impossible for him not to notice it.

Senior Brother Cheng's face was also ugly, but he said: "The strength of the secret investigation team may be able to find out the whole story of this matter, but the assessment of you is only one day later, and this little time is estimated to be not enough!" ”

"It doesn't matter! Isn't it just an assessment, I'm a hundred, according to your judgment, Senior Brother Cheng, I'm just a death row prisoner in a small realm, how much trouble can I have! ”

"Death row prisoners themselves are not trouble, the trouble is the person who is behind your back, and it is estimated that he will do something about not harming civilians. But don't worry too much, I'll arrange for someone from the covert investigation team to secretly assist! ”

"If I catch the person behind me, I must let him know that I will repay the little overlord for his strength!" Liu Xin gritted his teeth, for this kind of bastard who specializes in making trouble for others and harming others and himself, he has always had revenge and revenge!

In the afternoon, the entire circle of Jinyiwei in the imperial capital seemed to know about Liu Xin's "perverted" assessment, and for a while, the fire of gossip among countless people was blazing, and even not only inside Jinyiwei, but also in the 26 guards of the imperial capital, and even in the Beijing camp began to spread the news.

When this matter reached Liu Xin's ears, he knew that someone must be behind it!

Therefore, Liu Xin hated the villain behind him more and more, and even took a piece of rice paper to draw a human shape, but he didn't know who the other party was, so he could only write two words: villain!

Then he put it under his ass and attacked the villain with Mount Tai.

At the same time, outside an inn somewhere in the outer city of the imperial capital, Lian Su Bo walked into the inn in a hurry, with joy in his eyebrows, and then went straight upstairs, came to a guest room, and knocked on the door gently.

"Miss, it's me!"

"Uncle Lian, wait a minute, Sister Ran and I are trying on clothes!"

The voice of the little county lord An Huan'er in the room came out crisply, and even Su Bo's face immediately changed greatly, and he looked around, his ears were filled with internal force, listening to all the abnormal sounds nearby.

After a while, An Huan'er wore a pale cyan long dress, bright and moving, and the moment she opened the door, Lian Suber seemed to see the breath of the grassland from the door frame.

"Uncle Lian, is it good-looking!" An Huan'er turned around, and the skirt flew up.

An Ran came out behind An Huan'er, wearing a pink long skirt, which was the same style as An Huan'er, but An Huan'er gave people a more lively feeling, while An Ran still gave people a tranquil feeling although she was a pink skirt.

"Beautiful, beautiful! Miss is the best-looking! But miss, you can't just talk nonsense! Lian Subo said with a wry smile and persuaded at the end.

An Huan'er pursed her lips, her eyes rolled, and she turned her head to the sides to look at it: "This layer has been wrapped up by Uncle Lian, how can there be anyone, it's not fun at all!" ”

Even Su Bo smiled, and then remembered that he had wrapped up this layer, and secretly praised himself in his heart, which was really prescient.

Then he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly said to An Huan'er with a smile: "Miss, do you want to see something fun, I just have a big drama here, but it has already been full of trouble in the city for half a day!" ”

"yes, what's the show? It's not going to be that kind of babbling drama, then I don't like to watch it, and I don't breathe when I sing for a long time, and it's easy to suffocate to death. ”

"Of course not, I heard that it was the restart of the special assessment of the Jinyi Wei of the Kangyang Dynasty, I heard about it at that time, it seems to be a very exciting assessment method, but it was canceled in three years, and I don't know why it is suddenly restarted now, this once-in-a-decade liveliness coincides with our time in the imperial capital, it is really difficult to meet!" Lian Subo's tone was a little yearning.

However, for people of his age, Emperor Kangyang's Jinyi Wei assessment at that time was indeed a great event. Jinyiwei belongs to the ceiling of Zhengyang's domestic armed forces, even if it is an ordinary small flag officer, the chief flag officer is mostly a martial artist, and more than 100 households are masters. Such a large group of martial arts masters will be assessed (performed) together to show you, what a grand and majestic thing.

It's a pity that even Su Bo was still young back then, but he was only a teenager, and this assessment was limited to the imperial capital, so he only heard about it, but didn't see it in person.

But even if he heard about it, it was enough for Lian Subo at that time to turn into a hot-blooded young man, screaming to go to the imperial capital to have a look.

But at that time, even Su Bo's master said that he was still young, and he would not be in a hurry to see it later, so he waited for this grand event.

Now Lian Subo has rekindled the enthusiasm of the young man, and naturally he wants to do everything to fool around, no, persuade the little county lord to join in the fun. After all, he is the personal guard of the little county lord, and he can't leave the little county lord's side for a long time.

An Huan'er is naturally not an ordinary person, when she heard the news, she immediately became excited, she loves to watch the excitement the most, and even Su Bo is not an ordinary person, even he is interested in things, it must be very interesting!

An Ran felt that Jinyiwei's assessment was meaningful, but even Su Bo and An Huan'er showed great enthusiasm, so naturally she could only go along.

In the early morning of the next day, Senior Brother Cheng sighed and came to Liu Xin:

"I only found out that it was the proposal of a member of the Ministry of War, but a small member of the Ministry of War can call a right waiter, there must be a deeper reason, and the secret investigation team is still digging deep here!"

"Who is behind my back to give me this kind of bad trick, I think Liu Licheng must be inseparable, this time is too coincidental, I just got injured here......" Liu Xin is wrapping a bandage around his arm, and he won't be able to see it when he puts on his coat.

It seemed that because Li came from one side, Liu Xin didn't continue to speak.

I saw that the Li family was wearing a lilac gauze skirt today, in fact, this old Liu Baihu's wife was well maintained, her skin was delicate and fair, if she wasn't dressed as a woman, it was estimated that there would be a lot of turning back when she walked out of the door.

Turning heads?

Liu Xin felt that there were more and more inexplicable things in his head, and shook his head with a cold face, as if he wanted to get rid of all this mess.

Li stepped forward to salute, in fact, she didn't have to, she was an elder, but now the Liu family has to rely on Liu Xin to support her, and what Li said afterwards surprised Liu Xin:

"Xin'er!" In the past few days, the two have become more familiar with each other, so Li unknowingly changed Liu Xin's title.

Without waiting for Liu Xin to reply, Li Shi had already taken care of himself and continued: "Early this morning, my mother's family sent someone to spread the news, Xin'er, you actually received the Jinyi Wei assessment issued by the Ministry of War, and I have also heard the master talk about this assessment, and the mortality rate is very high...... Well, I want to say, if Xin'er doesn't want to go to this assessment, then it's good not to be a brocade guard, I... I'd like to find a way to find another errand for you. ”

Liu Xin didn't expect the Li family to say such a thing at this time, he knew it, Li's father served as a thousand households in Beijing, and he was a military attache who was not big or small, but the Li family had three sons and six daughters, and Li's status in the Li family was not high.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm sure of this!" Liu Xin smiled and comforted, and then got up, Senior Brother Cheng handed over a new set of fish and dragon clothes, Liu Xin dressed neatly, and strode out of the main hall.

Li Shi looked at Liu Xin's back, and there was some worry in his eyes.

Today's Wenxuanfang Hundred Households, the flow of people is much larger than in the past, I don't know how many people come to see the excitement, but they are all dressed up, so there is no way to distinguish their identities.

Liu Xin looked straight ahead, and Senior Brother Cheng entered the Baihu Office one after the other, at this time, the four general flags in the Baihu Office had already arrived, and their faces were a little unsightly, in fact, they had received the news last night, so they were a little uneasy the rest of the night.

When Guo Yong saw Liu Xin's arrival, he stepped forward and said with concern: "Liu Baihu! I went to inquire, this matter was directly ordered by the right attendant of the Ministry of War, saying that the newly appointed officials of more than 100 households in the next month must be assessed, but in fact, in this month, there is only one new appointment of Liu Baihu in Jinyiwei, which is clearly targeted! ”

The other three also showed concern, although they had been in contact with Liu Xin for a short time, after all, Liu Xin was the nephew of Lao Liu Baihu, and he treated them well. But right now, Liu Xin is about to be squeezed out by the people above, and if someone else comes, it is a matter of whether they can continue to be in this position.

Seeing that several people were concerned with some worries, Liu Xin said with a smile: "It's okay, I've been prepared." Since it is an assessment, it is also a yang scheme, and in the face of yang scheme, it is enough to deal with it directly. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! ”

"But ......" Guo Yong hesitated.

Liu Xin took over and said, "But this assessment is more perverted, right...... Cheng Shuyi has already told me that this is the rule set by Emperor Kangyang in the previous dynasty, and since it is a rule, then I have nothing to worry about. I am confident in the assessment of 100 households! ”

Senior Brother Cheng took up the position of scribe in the Hundred Households.

Liu Xin's words were full of confidence, which made the faces of the four of them much better, but there was still some worry on their faces, because if it was just about ability, Liu Xin was already qualified for the position of a hundred households, and his strength had also been verified. The key point is that Liu Xin was just injured yesterday, and none of them know if this injury will affect Liu Xin.

Liu Xin found that the eyes of several people subconsciously looked at his arm, he smiled bitterly, knowing that no matter how he explained, they would not really let go of their hearts, so he simply let them go.

Ordered all the general flags and small flag officers to gather in his duty room, so Liu Xin saw more eyes that subconsciously looked at his arm.

The 100 households will be united, and everyone's concerns are the same.

Liu Xin did not mention this matter, but arranged a series of tasks, including going to the white paper workshop to inquire about the whereabouts of the women and children who accompanied them to the imperial capital when the eunuchs raised horses entered the palace more than ten years ago. Because although there are only eight eunuchs raising horses, they are all disciples of a small sect, and their own situation is actually much better than that of ordinary people, and the population of the family will naturally not be only a few. In the past ten years, if everything is safe, it must be eight ordinary families, but now there is only one family left.

Therefore, it is particularly important to inquire about what has happened to these eight families in the past ten years.

Secondly, he has to send people to continue to inquire about the origin of the poison, which depends on Guo Yong's action, and he has a wide network. At present, Liu Licheng is mainly responsible for the investigation of poisons. The rest of the thousands of households in the imperial capital all sent people to Liu Licheng, and Liu Xin also learned from Senior Brother Cheng that Liu Licheng had sent the poison to the case library set up by Emperor Wu City in the imperial capital.

In the case library, which is known as the arsenal of the world, tens of thousands of martial arts cheats and various classics are stored.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but think of a series of actions eleven years ago, when Martial Emperor City dominated the martial arts, there were too many small martial arts gangs that were annexed by Martial Emperor City, and this case was also established at that time.

It is heard that the case vault in Emperor Wu City in the imperial capital is a complete copy of the arsenal in Emperor Wu City, and it is an important measure for Shangguan Ba to show his loyalty to the imperial court. Now it is under the control of the Ministry of War, and Liu Licheng was originally born in Emperor Wu City, and it is a very simple matter to investigate the documents in this case.

If the source of the poison can be found, it may play a crucial role in the investigation of the Imperial Horse Prison case.

Also, how did the poison enter the imperial city, and how did it poison the three people who were under strict guard in the imperial horse guard? This is also the crux of the case. However, this key is now in charge of the investigation, and it is the East Factory.

It can be said that poison and the way to enter the imperial city are the two major clues to solve this case, but Liu Xin feels that since someone tried to assassinate the families of these eight horse eunuchs, there must be very important clues hidden in it.

Assigned tasks, the four general flags have their own tasks, and they went with a heavy heart.

The assessment for Liu Xin will be in the afternoon, and someone from the military department will come to take him to the place of assessment.

In the rest of the time, Liu Xin was not worried about the subsequent assessment, but took advantage of the time to start sorting out the facts of the Yuma Supervisor case.

The imperial capital, the inner city, somewhere in a mansion.

The house is a courtyard with four entrances, this kind of house is particularly rare in the inner city, where every inch of land is valuable, and the owner is all a big man, and a stamping of the foot can make one side shake three shocks.

There is a lotus pond in the backyard of this house, and at this time, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, there are several maids collecting lotus seeds by the lotus pond.

There is a bamboo forest on one side of the lotus pond, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a small pavilion made of bamboo.

A middle-aged man with delicate long hair and wearing a Confucian robe, standing with his hands in his hands, watching the wind blow the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, if he shakes his head at this time, maybe an excellent poem will come out, but at this moment, this middle-aged man is not estimated to have this interest.

I don't know how long he stood there, he slowly turned around and slowly sat down on the stone bench beside him, and on the other side of the stone table in the pavilion, there were two sturdy men, both of whom were dressed as warriors and looked similar, and they were actually twins.

"Brother Qin, you have been under the old man's door for some years, and you have done a lot of things over the years, has the old man treated you badly?" The middle-aged Confucian said slowly.

The twins said in unison and replied together: "Master Qi has not treated my two brothers badly, my brothers are willing to go to the soup for the master!" ”

The middle-aged Confucian smiled with satisfaction, and he took out a gold ingot from his bosom, which weighed ten taels, and placed it on the stone table.

The eyes of the Qin family brothers fell on this gold ingot, and their eyes showed greed.

"Keep this gold ingot, after today's event, leave the imperial capital and hide for a while, after this time, I will send someone to find you!" The middle-aged Confucian continued.

One of the brothers of the Qin family reached out to retrieve the gold ingot, and then the two brothers said in unison: "Thank you, master!" ”

Now that martial arts are prosperous, and Emperor Xuyang has perfectly inherited his father Emperor Kangyang, although he will not abandon Wenchen, he does not attach much importance to it. And Wenchen has had the habit of cultivating martial artists since a long time ago, especially after Emperor Kangyang, Wenchen is even more vigorously recruiting, otherwise in some things, Wenchen will suffer too much, those vulgar martial artists are about to punch at every turn, how can Wenchen's weak body survive a punch.

So the family became a warrior, and in addition, he had to hire a group of doormen to learn the door valves of the Spring and Autumn Period.

And this Qin family brother is the middle-aged Confucian martial artist, the cultivation is the highest, the two brothers are Xiaocheng realm, because of the same mind, they join forces not to lose the Dacheng realm, and they are also first-class good hands in the martial arts!

Before the time arrives (one o'clock in the afternoon), the west of the inner city, Mingyufang.

This place is close to Dali Temple, and the Jinyi Wei assessment arranged by the Ministry of War this time is in this Mingyufang.

Because of its proximity to Dali Temple, in fact, there are not too many houses in this Mingyufang, but more shops, restaurants and warehouses. And in the assessment, the death row prisoners who need to be used are brought out of Dali Temple, so it is naturally more convenient to be close.

The formal assessment has not yet begun, and on both sides of the street here, all the restaurants and tea shops are already full of people, and if you look closely, most of these people are powerful, and they do not talk to each other, but look around the street for something, looking forward to something.

"The time is said to be a short time, and it is estimated that the unlucky Jinyi Guard is almost here!" Lian Subo couldn't cover an entire floor of the restaurant this time, so he could only find a private room by the window, and opposite him, An Huan'er with an excited face and An Ran who drank tea quietly.

An Huan'er opened the window and poked her head out to look at the street below, at this time the flow of people on the street was not large, and the enthusiasm of the street vendors was not high, so it should be lazy at this hour.

"Uncle Lian, didn't you say that the prisoner would be brought here and released, and then searched and arrested by the Jinyi guard. But the people here have not dispersed! An Huan'er retracted her head in confusion and asked Xiang Lian Subo.

Lian Subo drank himself, accompanied by a plate of peanuts, and enjoyed a hard-won moment of peace. He took a sip of his drink and thought that the wine in this restaurant tasted good, and he could take two pots with him when he left. After drinking wine, he explained quietly: "This is the assessment of Jinyiwei, first, you can't let the prisoner go, and second, you can't let the people get hurt." Only when these two points are ensured can the assessment be completed. ”

"Isn't that dangerous for those people!" An Ran frowned, feeling that this assessment of good students was unreasonable.

"Hey!" Lian Subo smiled: "At the level of the emperor, how can he consider the thoughts of the people at the bottom." For those in high positions, it is enough to achieve the goal. Besides, didn't they give the order that the people would fail in the assessment if they were injured, these superiors had already given the people some mercy! ”

An Ran was angry when he heard this, and at this time he also poked his head to look downstairs, thinking to himself whether he should take action if the prisoner really wanted to hurt the people.

An Huan'er continued to watch the excitement heartlessly, but she had actually secretly made up her mind that if those people were in distress and the brocade guard was useless, she would let Uncle Lian take action and kill the prisoner, and also teach the useless brocade guard a lesson by the way.

And next door to Lian Subo's private room, Liu Licheng and Shao Shiwang were also sitting at the table, there was no food on the table, only some snacks and two pots of good tea.

"Brother Liu, your arrangement this time is really unexpected!" Shao Shiwang looked downstairs with a smile: "I have seen many familiar faces, many people came to watch the excitement of the 26th guard of the pro-army, and many people also came to Jingying, today is really a good show!" ”

Liu Licheng poured a cup of tea for Shao Shiwang, and said with a smile: "It's not because of Brother Shao's help, otherwise the Shaoqing of Dali Temple wouldn't sell my little brother's face!" ”

Shao Shiwang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, that person is not easy to talk to, but I didn't make much effort, at most I was a middleman." If it weren't for Brother Liu's money, he wouldn't have brought out such an important death row prisoner. ”

Liu Licheng suddenly became interested when he heard this, although he let the military department give an order, but he had no way to deal with the death row prisoners involved in this assessment, fortunately, Shao Shiwang had connections, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was also a noble, after a matchmaking bridge, Liu Licheng spent five hundred taels to let the Shaoqing of Dali Temple mention a death row prisoner who could definitely let Liu Xintong pass the assessment.

You must know that Emperor Kangyang has clear regulations on the assessment of Jinyiwei, what level of Jinyiwei should match what level of death row prisoners, not that you are a small hundred households, and you are matched with a death row prisoner in Dacheng Realm, that is murder, not assessment.

Shao Shiwang smiled and said: "I don't know the specific situation of this person, I only know that this person was at the peak of Xiaocheng Realm when he was arrested, entered the prison of Dali Temple, and broke through after receiving the criminal law." Although he has been imprisoned since then, he has never been given enough food, and his strength must be very weak, but it is not something that Xiaochengjing can deal with. I think this is very good, it satisfies Brother Liu's request to directly destroy the mouth of Liu Baihu. ”

When Liu Licheng heard that it was such a fierce man, he was not surprised, but hesitated: "Wouldn't there be anything wrong with such a high-level death row inmate?" ”

Shao Shiwang sighed, laughed and said: "Now on this street, there are at least ten people in a thousand households, even if there is no one else, you and I join forces, even if this death row prisoner recovers his strength, how can he escape?" This is his trapped beast field, his prey is only the willow hundred, and we are the praying mantis catching cicadas, the yellow finch behind him! ”
