Chapter 193: This is the Mansion
After passing through two states and three counties, the governor team finally arrived at the main city of Yunzhou, the White Emperor City.
The origin of the name of the White Emperor City has a historical allusion, which is a matter of the previous dynasty. About 1,300 years ago, there was a great drought in Yunzhou, and the red land was thousands of miles.
The people have no harvest, and their lives are gone.
In this year, a strange beast came from overseas, its body was like a deer, covered with snow-white scales, and its head was born with a pair of horns, horses' hooves, and a snake's tail.
Wherever it passed, the dark clouds were thick, the torrential rain was endless, this beast tossed and turned in Yunzhou for more than a month, filling all reservoirs in Yunzhou, moistening the dry rivers and lakes, and solving the drought in Yunzhou.
The imperial court considered it a rui beast and named it the white emperor.
Xu Qi'an looked at the majestic outline of the White Emperor City, and asked with a smile: "Then is this legend true or false?"
Raising the curtain and looking at the White Emperor City in the distance, Governor Zhang, who talked about this allusion, nodded:
"It should be true, otherwise it would not be recorded in the history books. Great droughts and floods are common, and historians will not make up history for this. It's just that since then, no one has ever seen the White Emperor of the Rui Beast. ”
People are obviously overseas monsters, even sea beasts, maybe they come to Kyushu just for tourism, seeing the drought in Yunzhou, they don't like it, so they take action to change the environment.... Xu Qi'an said while "analyzing from a scientific perspective":
"Your Excellency. ”
After speaking, he continued to look at the city wall, and a poem appeared in his heart: Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains.
"Thousands of miles of Gangneung in one day.... It's so extravagant, if it were me, it would be today and tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, January 31, and I would be willing to pay it back. Xu Qian said.
He couldn't help but think of the travel advertisements he had seen before, encouraging senior white-collar workers to fly directly to Thailand after work on Friday, and return home on Sunday.
Everyone is a modern Li Taibai.
The gatekeepers of the White Emperor City stopped everyone, and after reading the documents issued by the imperial court, they respectfully let them go.
After entering the city, Xu Qi'an looked left and right, and saw many passers-by hanging swords and swords in the bustling flow of people.
Dabong had very strict control over weapons, and from the state capital to the county, no one was allowed to walk with a sword in the city. Unless it's a special profession, such as a dart master.
But even a dart master can only be equipped with weapons when he goes on a mission.
"Is this a Yunzhou characteristic?" Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.
At this time, Governor Zhang lifted the curtains again and said to Xu Qi'an: "Ning Yan, you let people send these merchants home, and don't return the goods first." Let the merchant take the account book, and come to the post station tomorrow to check and retrieve the goods. ”
Xu Qi's heart moved, "What about Zhao Long's goods?"
Governor Zhang said: "Naturally, it is sent back to others, then Zhao Long and the dart master were all killed, and the dart master's family must be compensated." Now that Zhao Long is dead, sending the goods back can be regarded as making up for the loss of others. ”
Xu Qi'an gave a thumbs up: "My lord is really a good eel." ”
Governor Zhang frowned when he heard this: "Why do you say this?"
"Nothing, nothing. Xu Qi'an turned his head to find Song Tingfeng, told him about the matter, and told him to do it.
"Why should I run errands. Song Tingfeng was not convinced: "It seems that I am your subordinate, we are obviously at the same level." ”
Xu Qi'an turned his head and shouted: "Lord Governor, Song Tingfeng prevaricated and deducted his money." ”
Song Tingfeng hurriedly said: "I'll go, I'll go." ”
turned his head and went to Zhu Guangxiao, told him about the matter, and told him to do it.
Zhu Guangxiao said depressedly: "Didn't Ning Yan let you do it." ”
Song Tingfeng said: "Xu Ningyan, Zhu Guangxiao prevaricated. ”
Zhu Guangxiao turned the horse's head silently, called a few tiger guards, and went to do something.
The two sluts got together and said with emotion:
"Guangxiao is really an honest man who works hard. ”
"Yes, yes, whether it's in bed or on business. ”
.....
are commanding the envoys.
Yang Chuannan is in his early forties this year, he is a calm and peaceful scholar, and he also has an identity, a five-grade martial artist.
Yang Chuannan was born in a family of military generals, talented and intelligent, he likes to practice martial arts and even read, Yuanjing 12 years in the jinshi, because of the family history, familiar with the military books, in the military department to find an errand.
Yuanjing was assigned to Yunzhou in 16 years, and because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, he was promoted to the position of commander step by step. Become one of the three most powerful people in Yunzhou.
Yang Chuannan, who was sitting in the hall to deal with official business, suddenly raised his head, and a few seconds later, the sound of footsteps came, and a woman in light armor strode over, and there were no officials to stop her along the way.
She was tall, with a sword hanging from her waist and a silver spear on her back. has a sharp melon seed face, and her facial features are delicate and beautiful, but she doesn't see the woman weak, but she is heroic.
In addition, she wears a long high ponytail, revealing a smooth and beautiful forehead.
"The governor has entered the city. The first thing she said when she entered the door was to the heart of the matter.
Yang Chuannan's expression paused, and he bowed slightly, "Got it." ”
"Emperor Yuanjing, who suffered a thousand cuts, cultivates immortals all day long, and the emperors of the world still want to live forever, which is simply wishful thinking. She opened her mouth with smallpox: "@#@#*...."
"Miaozhen!" Yang Chuannan frowned.
Li Miaozhen sneered, "I'm not eating imperial grain." ”
She leaned her silver spear against the wall, sat cross-legged on the coffee table in the reception position, took off her sword, crossed her knees, and asked:
"If the governor is here, you have to hand over the military power, this is the rule of Dafeng. What are you going to do. ”
"Since it's a rule, of course you can only do it. "Yangchuan South Road.
Li Miaozhen nodded: "I'll help you." ”
Yang Chuannan glanced at her and shook his head helplessly: "There are so many people in the rivers and lakes who are willing to serve you and not be wronged." Feiyan Woman, this official accepts your favor, but pay attention to proportion, there are golden gongs in the accompanying team, dignified four products, and when you walk out of the rivers and lakes, you are a hero. ”
Li Miaozhen disagreed: "What are you afraid of, if you don't have three grades, you can't beat the tactics of crowds." ”
....
"The food in Yunzhou is a bit numb, spicy, and I like to put spices, I don't like the dishes here.... If you eat spicy food often, won't you get hemorrhoids?"
In the post station, Xu Qi'an was eating a hot meal while complaining in his heart.
The lobby was full of watchmen and tiger guards, and a table seated eight people, barely enough to accommodate it.
There are four post stations in the White Emperor City, this one is the largest, with a large compound and two adjacent three-story buildings. One postman, seven postmen.
For the sake of safety, Yang Yingying also had to stay at the post station, she sat at a table alone, and quietly bowed her head to eat.
The young woman is plump and seductive, and when she sits, her dress clings to her hips, outlining her plump curves.
Xu Qi'an found that Song Tingfeng was staring at someone's buttocks, so he kicked him under the table: "What do you see?"
After scolding, he took a few looks at it himself.
"Look what's going on, everyone else is watching. Song Tingfeng whispered.
Men are like this, when they see beautiful women, they will always unconsciously look at them a few more times, and they can't control their gaze. Unless the daughter-in-law is by his side, he can endure it with great perseverance.
"If you don't look at it, you don't look at it, it's uncomfortable. Song Tingfeng muttered.
Just now, Governor Zhang has issued an order, during the Yunzhou period, you must not go to the Jiaofang Division, and you must not leave the post station, unless there is a mission.
Xu Qi'an raised his hand and shook it hard.
"What are you doing?" Song Tingfeng said blankly.
"It's called the Immortal Grip, and you can learn it in private. ”
After eating, Governor Zhang invited Xu Qi'an and Jiang Luzhong to discuss matters in the room, and the governor from the imperial history looked at the two experienced golden gongs and said:
"Yunzhou has canceled the ban on knives because of banditry. Therefore, it is safer at night than during the day, as the curfew is particularly strict.
"Jiang Jinluo needs to protect the official for a moment, and the investigation of the case will be given to Ning Yan for the time being. The guards in the post station are good tigers, and you can deploy them at will. ”
.... Yes, it's really a tool man. Xu Qi'an looked at Governor Zhang and didn't speak.
The governor explained: "In the first few days, this official had to socialize in many ways, and I also needed to touch the bottom of the Yunzhou officialdom. ”
All right... Xu Qi'an accepted this reason: "I understand, I just do my best." ”
Governor Zhang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How are you going to start the case?"
"First go to the government office to ask for Zhou Min's posthumous relics, and then go to his house to see. Xu Qi'an said.
"No need to dig up a grave for an autopsy?" Governor Zhang frowned.
"Just wait for the adults to ask," Xu Qi'an laughed: "People have been dead for more than half a month, the rotten skin is swollen, and it will break when you poke it, and the fishy corpse water can be drunk to your heart's content." ”
Jiang Luzhong, who had just eaten a full meal, turned dark, and Governor Zhang retched.
Then he retired. Xu Qi'an slipped away.
Leaving the room and going downstairs, he summoned four gongs, including Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, a familiar silver gong, and six tiger guards, and rode horses to the mansion.
Zhou Min is a court official, but whenever the court official dies, the government is responsible for the autopsy to confirm the cause of death. For an official like Zhou Min, whose family is not in the local area, the government has to take care of his belongings and wait for the deceased's family or the court to pick them up.
Xu Qi'an controlled the speed of the horse, sometimes glanced at the map of the White Emperor City given by the post guard, groped for nearly an hour, and finally saw the gate of the mansion.
"According to the rules of officialdom, thirty percent of this kind of relic is left in hand, and the greedy ones are even as high as fifty percent. I don't know how many relics of Zhou's experience can be left. Yinluo, surnamed Tang, sighed.
It was the first time Xu Qi'an had heard of this kind of unspoken rule, and his face sank: "In the law of Dafeng, is there any punishment for such incidents?"
"Of course there is," Tang Yinluo said: "Embezzling the inheritance of the imperial court officials, depending on the value of the property, the light is fifty court rods, and the heavy court canes are dismissed from office and fined." ”
Xu Qi'an nodded, and suddenly asked, "The same is true of the Yamen?"
"How dare you, Duke Wei explicitly forbids it. Moreover, our watchmen are different from these officials, and the watchmen in the same group are all fighting side by side and going to the Qinglou together. Whoever dares to swallow it privately, when the brothers do not agree. Tang Yinluo explained.
Song Tingfeng nodded with a smile: "That's right, Ning Yan sacrificed you that day, who dares to embezzle your pension, Lao Tzu will want his dog life." ”
I always feel like there's something wrong with what you're saying... Xu Qi'an was too lazy to complain about this squint.
After entering the government and revealing his identity, a seventh-grade official in a green robe came out to greet him, claiming to have experience in the government.
"In order to prevent his subordinates from stealing the finances, all the items that Zhou experienced were stored in the treasury of the government office. ”
This experience in charge of sending and receiving, cashiering, and treasury led Xu Qi'an and others to the warehouse, carrying a string of heavy keys in his hand, skillfully finding the correct one, and opening the iron door of the warehouse.
Among Zhou Min's relics, there are calligraphy and paintings, clothes, antiques, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., Xu Qi'an looked at them one by one.
After seeing the legacy of only thirty taels of silver, he said in a deep voice: "Experience, this is not right, Zhou has experienced six dignified products, has been in office for more than 20 years, and saves one tael a year, and it is more than that." ”
"My lord, that's twenty taels. Fu Cheng said with a smile.
Do you still dare to skin me?
Xu Qi'an stared at him, "Embezzling the inheritance of the imperial court officials, depending on the value of the property, the light is fifty court rods, and the court staff is dismissed from office and fined." ”
Zhou Min is the secret son of the watchman, he died in his post, and his family in his hometown still doesn't know the bad news. People can't be resurrected after death, this Xu Qi'an can't help it, but he can do this by keeping the other party's relics and returning them to his family as much as possible.
It should also be done.
It's a stunned young man.... The house experience is an old fritter, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Xu is the experience of indulging in beauty that week, or having other pastimes, spending money like running water." Anyway, it's just a bit of a possessions. ”
He had a fearless attitude and a playful smile.
The inheritance is the first thing that the government government handled, and the government government said that it was as much as it was, and if you are not convinced, you have the ability to make the dead ghost return to the yang.
Xu Qi'an pointed to his waist card: "The officials of Yunzhou, don't you know how to beat the guard?"
The government experienced a "heh": "The watchman supervises the hundred officials, and the official has naturally heard of it." ”
That's just what I've only heard and haven't experienced.... You lack the beating of the more man.... Xu Qi'an raised his foot and kicked directly into the lower abdomen of Fu Shi.
Boom...
Fu experienced the fat body flew upside down and hit the wall, the dust of the shock "fell", shrunk into a shrimp shape in pain, his facial features twisted into a ball, and it took a few seconds before he let out a moan.
Xu Qi'an took out a knife, put it on the back of his neck, and looked down condescendingly: "This official came to Yunzhou with the governor to investigate the case, and he has the right to act cheaply, even if he kills you, the governor can pocket it for me." Do you believe it or not?"
Fu Shi took a few breaths and emphasized in disbelief: "This is the government office. ”
