Chapter 43: The Change of the Quiet Edge (3)
Hua Yuwu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although the grass people and their party often walk in this green forest, they have never seen the looting of thousands of people, and in those two days, I and other senior brothers and sisters were terrified, all relying on General Ding and waiting for my mighty army of the Great Song Dynasty to be saved, but I have never had the opportunity to get close to several generals."
Luo Chongxun suddenly threw an object down from the hall and said, "Can you recognize this thing?"
When everyone looked at it, it was an ebony axe token, and the green finch was even more surprised. Luo Chongxun heard Qingque's sigh and Huo Ran burst out of the case and said, "Take them down"
Hua Yuwu was taken aback, walked a few steps and picked up the ebony axe ornament and said: "My lord, I have indeed seen this thing, and my little sister wanted to ask General Yang to play because of the delicate axe ornament, but General Yang did not allow it, and my little sister cried because of it."
At this time, Wang Yaochen, who had been sitting in a side seat, asked: "Then why did Yang Tianluo show you this axe ornament? Do you also want you to bring it back to the capital for some money?"
Hua Yuwu had already noticed that Wang Yaochen's expression was gloomy, and when he saw him speak, his mind changed sharply: "How did this lord know? Yang Tian knew that we were from the capital that day, and we had seen a lot from the south to the north, so he took such an object and asked us if we could recognize this thing, where have we seen it, but General Yang said that this thing should be worth ten taels of gold in the pawnshop in the capital, and intended to let us collect the six taels of gold and go to the capital to cash out, but this six taels of gold is not the wealth that grass people like us can have, so it was not sold."
Wang Yaochen stroked his beard and said, "Did he mention who this thing came from many years ago?"
Hua Yuwu pondered for a while, and saw Wang Yaochen looking at him encouragingly, and Luo Chongxun's face was also much soothed, so he cleared his throat and said: "The grass people have regrets because they can't redeem this treasure on behalf of General Yang, but they don't ask where this object came from, but they heard General Yang seem to mention that when he first joined the forbidden army, he often followed the brigade to clear the rebel party, and he recalled that there were countless treasures in the aftermath of the confiscation at that time, but they were all squandered, presumably this thing was also obtained at that time."
Wang Yaochen nodded approvingly and said: "Lord Luo, what Yang Tianluo confessed and said last night is not far from this person, I don't think he is a rebel party, but there is still corruption in this fake public and private interest."
Ding Meng took it over and said: "When the last general brought Hua Yingying and others over, he met the traitor Yang Tianluo, and he also scolded the heroes of the three-point dart game, and also scolded the last general, and even scolded the court."
Wang Yaochen wanted to protect this Yang Tianluo, and when he saw Ding Meng say this, his face turned cold and said: "Who can accept the guilt of corruption for the crime of a traitor?"
With a snap, Luo Chongxun slapped the shocking wood in his hand and said: "No matter what else happens, just insulting the court is a capital crime, our family still has important things to do, and when our family returns, we will escort this guy back to the capital, and the two saints will decide together" After that, he got up and went to the back hall.
This double saint refers to the emperor Zhao Zhen and the empress dowager Liu E, the first year of the Tiansheng (1022) Zhenzong died, Renzong succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, the queen mother hung the curtain to listen to the government, and the year name also changed to the first year of the Tianxi, the first year of the Tiansheng, the two saints. Therefore, whenever the court says that the two saints decide together, it is generally ruled by the queen mother.
Wang Yaochen waved his hand and said: "You go to live in the post house, if you have something to summon again, you must not leave this quiet border village without the official order."
Hua Yuwu continued: "The grass people have stayed in the Dongquan Inn before, so they won't bother the inn" Wang Yaochen said and got up and went back to the back hall.
Everyone was about to leave, and the person with a pale face behind Luo Chongxun turned out of the back hall and shouted: "Lord Luo wants Hua Yuwu to enter the back hall to question."
The group was stunned, and after a little hesitation, they wanted to go to the back hall together, but the person with a pale face said in a dark voice: "Isn't what I said clear enough? Lord Luo only needs Hua Yuwu to enter the back hall to ask."
Hua Yuwu waved his hand behind him and motioned for them to go back to the inn first, and he had already started and followed the man into the back hall. Tong Li took everyone to live in the Dongquan Inn with fear, and when the room was opened, they all crowded into Tong Li's room.
Tong Li was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals and rubbing his cheeks in annoyance, and when he saw everyone coming in, his eyes were red and he said, "I don't have the wisdom of my junior brother, I don't know how to deal with it."
Tie Lang continued: "Brother Tong doesn't need to worry, I think that Lord Wang has the intention of protecting Yang Tianluo and us, and it will be okay to come to Brother Hua if you want to."
Qingque said: "Brother Tie, why have we seen so many axes recently, these axes are the same as your ......"
Tie Lang didn't wait for Qingque to say any more, so he took it over and said: "I think this Yang Tianluo will be a little troublesome, when Brother Hua comes back, we will discuss how to deal with it."
Qingque still wanted to speak again, but Tie Lang was always afraid that she would make a mistake, so he blocked it with a look, so several people waited with wide eyes. Fortunately, after a while, I heard the voice of Hua Yuwu and the shopkeeper in the lobby, and everyone couldn't help but welcome out.
Hua Yuwu saw the people who came out, so he waved his right hand in the direction of the room, signaling everyone to go in, and he followed in.
Tong Li hurriedly asked, "Then what did the eunuch keep you for?"
Hua Yuwu grabbed the teapot on the table and took a few sips before saying: "But it has nothing to do with General Yang, this Luo Chongxun went to Tubo to reward him, but he called me to ask about the general situation in Tubo."
Ma Munan continued: "I see, presumably our dart trip is just a pathfinder cast by the imperial court."
Tie Lang said to Hua Yuwu again: "Brother Hua, then General Yang has been detained, and the matter we are concerned about is gone."
Hua Yuwu frowned and said: "That Lord Wang seems to have the intention of protecting General Yang, but he doesn't know that his ambition can be strong."
Tie Lang was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Hua Yuwu: "Senior Sister Ma, you and Qingque go to the inn to prepare some wine and food, we have a lot of money in Tubo, and there is nowhere to eat something good along the way, the food here is comparable to the capital, let's have a good celebration wine at night" After speaking, he arranged for Shao Xiaofei to take care of Tong Li, and then pulled Tie Lang to another room, but Tong Li muttered: "My body is already healed, and I am still taken care of as a patient, I can't be angry."
Hua Yuwu and Tie Lang entered another room, and then closed the door and said: "General Yang deliberately scolded me on the street in order to protect us, and hinted that he was arrested for the ebony axe, if he hadn't prompted us very early, we would have been detained like him today."
"Yes, at first, I was also confused about this Yang Tianluo's scolding, but when you answered in the hall, you will know his deep meaning, this General Yang and Brother Hua are both shrewd people" Tie Lang nodded and praised.
"In this hall, the meaning of Lord Wang's words is to only protect General Yang's life, but that Ding Meng seems to be very jealous of General Yang's life, we can't help but guard against it, and the relationship between General Yang's ebony axe and the jade axe in your hand is probably only possible if you meet" Hua Yuwu glanced at Tie Lang after speaking, wanting to see Tie Lang's reaction.
"That's what I mean, I'll go to the prison at night and see Yang Tianluo," Tie Lang nodded.
"If General Yang reveals that he has a deep relationship with you, how will you be treated?" Hua Yuwu was a little disappointed by Tie Lang's calmness, and then asked.
"Do you want to rescue Yang Tianluo?" Tie Lang still asked calmly.
Hua Yuwu was silent for a moment and said: "I have more than enough heart but not enough strength" After speaking, he stared at Tie Lang.
How could Tie Lang not understand what Hua Yuwu meant, Hua Yuwu wanted Tie Lang to rescue Yang Tianluo. But caring is chaotic, Hua Yuwu is too worried about Yang Tianluo's affairs to be calm.
"Brother Hua, it's not that I don't want to rescue Yang Tianluo, it's just that you have thought about it, if it weren't for him warning us in the prison car today, we would have been detained in that hall today without any precautions" Tie Langluo hesitated for a moment and continued: "In the end, even if you escape, there will be casualties."
