The seventeenth round: The infatuated man hates to go to the end of the world, and Captain Xiao is admitted to the university three times
Before Ah Tousi could react, he was restrained by the forbidden army and his hands were handcuffed.
Before everyone could react, there was a scene very similar to just now, and Ah Tousi didn't reply, but turned his gaze to the Mo family brothers in the crowd. He also seemed to have predicted this result, and would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, but he still chose to offend the villain. He chose to endure, but people can't tolerate too much.
Pan Gong sent the forbidden army to take him away, and Long Xiangtian immediately asked, "Pan Gonggong, what is his crime?"
"Yes, dare to ask my father-in-law if he can tell everyone about his crimes? "Treacherous Wind.
The rest of the people also nodded, and Pu Mu also said: "Ah Tousi has performed well in the assessment for two days, and his father-in-law has come to arrest the deviant person in the answer sheet, what is the reason?"
"Yes......" echoed one of the crowd.
Captain Xiao said: "Everyone is quiet, there will be no injustice in the election of the people in the university, and no one will be wronged." Turning his head to Pan Gonggong, he said: "Please also ask Pan Gonggong to tell the heroes why he tortured this hero." ”
Pan Gong said fairly: "Okay, let me tell you, this person in front of me is the river thief on the Han River and the Ting River." This is the testimony of the merchants of Suzhou, as well as the testimony of the person from his hometown, and the testimony of others. ”
Long Xiangtian stepped forward to take those forms, read them carefully, and returned the papers without saying a word.
Pan Gong said fairly: "The emperor took the form of the official of the capital government, and after reading it, Long Yan was furious, and immediately wanted to behead you." Knowing that you are among the best, and also knowing that you have a poor background, you must not be allowed to fall on the river, so the emperor only dismisses you from the right to run for the Ouchi, and at the same time rewards you with an extra hundred taels of gold, counting the previous one hundred taels of gold and two hundred taels of silver, and they will return to their hometowns together, and they will not be allowed to make a living as a robber in the future-" Say, let the forbidden army escort him out of the palace gate.
With all these coins in hand, it doesn't seem to be the worst outcome. At least this money is enough for him to marry his sweetheart. However, he was still worried, and what he worried about was the same as what he had thought before he went to bed in the house that night—whether she had changed her feelings for him.
He returned to the inn, opened the door, and found that there was no one. He was a little anxious, and hurriedly went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper, who only said: "That girl left with a son in the morning, by the way, that boy left a note with you." ”
Ah Touji copied the note, saw the place written on the note, and immediately ran out.
Passing through the downtown in the west, a wide riverbank, he looked at the stone lion bridge written on it, and thought that this was it, and he remembered it when he was in the capital a few days ago.
Walking across the stone bridge, a main street, it is also lively, and sure enough, I found a mansion. The house of Nafu is written "Lu Mansion". He ran to the door, knocked hurriedly, no, slammed the door, and when he saw that one of the housekeepers had opened it, he rebuked him sharply, saying, "Did you knock on this door so urgently?
Ah Touji threw the note to the little guy and said, "Let the person who wrote this note come out and tell me something-"
The little guy saw it and didn't even look at it, and said, "Where did the madman come from? Dare to spread wild here-go and go-......" After that, he was about to drive Ah Tousi, who was already in a hurry at the moment, and directly pushed the little guy away and rushed into the door.
The little guy ran and retreated, scolding in his mouth, "Someone is coming to make trouble" At this time, more than 20 family members ran out, all holding big sticks, and the little guy said: "It's him......"
"Who's spreading wild—" As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged old man squeezed out of the family.
Ah Tousi handed the note to the old man, who read the note and said, "You go to the living room first, and I'll call someone for you later—"
The servants got out of the way, and he followed the old man through the courtyard and into the reception room. The old man told him to wait here for a while and report it himself. At this time, a young man in a white robe and brocade came in, and the young man had no too eye-catching features except for the bridge of his nose.
The young man said, "You are Ah Tou." ”
"Who are you, poor girl, you kidnapped?" asked Ah Tousi immediately got up and asked.
The boy laughed and said, "What do you mean by abduction, do you robbers like these words?"
"And where did you hide her?" said Tousi's snort, revealing anger.
The boy said, "She doesn't want to see you, let me talk to you." ”
"I have nothing to talk to you about, hand her over, or I'm not welcome. Ah Tousi said.
The young man mocked Ah Tousi's attitude just now, and said: "Sure enough, Ouchi doesn't want you, you have to fight and kill at every turn, and this gangster can't be changed." Now, look at this—" Touji grabbed the paper the boy had given him.
"Marriage...... Marriage book?" Ah Tousi was surprised, and the marriage book did have the name of the "poor girl" in his mouth.
"Actually, she signed this marriage letter with me when she came out with you. You're still thinking about marrying her? She's already figured it out. The boy said.
Touji's clenched fists were shaking, and it was a great shame for him, "I want her to tell me to my face-to-face—"
"You're really stubborn, this is her letter to you, see for yourself. With that, I gave him a letter.
With trembling hands, he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter, only to see that the letter read:
- Brother Toutou, see the letter is like a letter.
The poor sister really couldn't resist her mother's words, and when she left home with her brother and went to Beijing, she agreed to the Shen family's proposal. The poor sister couldn't bear to be sad for her brother, so she went to Beijing with her brother, and finally gave her brother a ride, so that her brother got the position of Ouchi, and since then she has forgotten that her sister is. If the elder brother is not allowed to hold the position of the inner officer, the poor sister begs the elder brother not to make a living on the water, and the golden basin can wash his hands.
The poor sister is by no means greedy for vanity, and begs my brother not to hold grudges.
Just a letter, but the head boss in front of him was speechless for a while, he smiled at the letter, smiled heartily, and stood up with a smile.
"I wish Shen Gongzi and Sister Pian a happy marriage. Ah Tousi said.
Shen Gongzi said: "That's good, my eldest brother will appreciate his face when I get married——"
"Hahaha...... I won't drink the wine, and I don't want to go back to the Rausch place. However, I sent the two of you wedding gifts in advance. With that, he opened the baggage, pulled out a bag of gold, and said, "This is a hundred taels of gold from the royal family, and I will give it to the two of you as a wedding gift." ”
Shen Gongzi took the gold and said, "Imperial gold, I have never seen this before." Thank you, big brother, go slowly, don't send it far-" His smiling face was full of mockery and pleasure, indeed, such a humiliation of a person, the short-term pleasure is indescribable.
Ah Tousi carried the reward money he took back from the palace, and walked straight out of the living room, without looking back, all the way to the door of the Lu Mansion. When those family members saw his face, they didn't know how to describe it, they felt very strange, saying that they were happy, but it was more like they couldn't show sadness.
As soon as the door was closed, in the small garden behind the Lufu living room, in a pavilion, the three people were drinking tea and chatting, and Shen Gongzi walked to the pavilion.
"Hahaha...... I thought he was going to make a big fuss, but he left quietly. Shen Gongzi said.
One of them said: "I don't know if the boxers in my Lu Mansion can resist him, but fortunately he didn't make trouble." ”
"Thank you Shopkeeper Lu, that person dared to rob my goods, and he still wanted to take the position of the Great Inside? The emperor didn't kill him, so he was cheap-" It turned out that the person who spoke was the shopkeeper Zhang mentioned by the Mo family brothers.
"Don't say that, if there is no Shen Gongzi to testify, I am afraid I will not be able to sue him. Listening to my friend who was on an errand in the palace, the emperor's requirements for the selection of people were extremely loose, but fortunately, we and others had complete evidence and physical evidence. And there are a lot of unfavorable words around the emperor—" said the shopkeeper Lu.
Among the three of them, there was also Pi Shilang, the person who was suspected of fornicating with the prince by King Dingnan and Yuwen Shangshu, and was also in this group of merchants.
Pi Shilang said: "Everyone's words are serious. This form was also handed over by Pi for the master's errand. However, with the friendship between Pi and you, even if you don't have the master's explanation, I will try my best to help you-"
"Hahaha...... This little gift also asked Pi Shilang to smile——" After that, the shopkeeper Zhang put a stack of silver tickets in front of Pi Shilang.
The four of them looked at each other, and a hearty laugh wafted through the small garden.
Twilight. Outside the capital, Ah Tousi went out of the city gate, but he still didn't look back.
Some of the tea stalls outside the city have already begun to close their stalls at this time, and in late autumn, when the sun goes down, it is chilly, and the vendors do not want to set up their stalls outside the city for so long.
Ah Tousi walked through the tea stalls, and one of them sat at the table in front of the stalls, shouting, "It's time to go out of town, you should have a cup of tea—"
Ah Tousi seemed familiar when he heard this, turned his head and saw that the person in front of him was Long Xiangtian, turned around, sat at the table, opposite Long Xiangtian, and said: "Today, the emperor gave me gold and silver, and I will pay for the tea - shop, a pot of good tea." With that, he threw a piece of silver on the table, and when the shopkeeper who wanted to close the stall saw this, he immediately boiled tea again.
"Someone will come to see me off, I thank Brother Long here, and I wish you to be the commander-" Ah Tou Si said.
Long Xiangtian said: "Don't be busy thanking, I'm here to compete with you today." ”
"What's the comparison?" Ah Tousi took the teapot sent by the store and poured the tea into Long Xiangtian's teacup, and Long Xiangtian picked up the teacup. The tea is poured down, and the picture continues, the tea overflows the teacup, but the tea seems to stop at the moment, the tea in the teacup swirls on the edge of the overflow, and the tea seems to be still.
In an instant, the tea overflowed the teacup. Tousi picked up the teapot.
"You won. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.
The teacup was lowered, and Touji sat down. "The tea flows down the teapot, and with my internal strength, this is the best way to win you. If you resist the tea with internal force, it is a disadvantage in itself, and if we really try it, the winner is unknown. Ah Tousi said.
After the two drank a cup of tea, Tousi got up and left.
"Why are you waiting for me at this city gate?" asked Long Xiangtian before leaving.
Long Xiangtian looked at his back and said: "Because only at this gate, you can never go back to the place you came from; ”
"Yes, no one will know me again. Without saying a word, he left the gates.
Long Xiangtian looked at the back that was slowly blurring in the distance and sighed. He was wondering if today's actions of the imperial court would cause fluctuations in the rivers and lakes in the future.
After dark, everything returned to calm. The waves of the day reset at this moment, and no one thought to ask those who left.
On the third day, the gong rang again.
Everyone follows yesterday's process to freshen up, eat breakfast, and exit.
There are only eighty people left. The queues are not as crowded as they used to be, and they are grouped up faster.
Captain Xiao said: "Everyone, today is the third day of the assessment, and many people have withdrawn before that, and there are many more people who quit yesterday than on the first day. The captain of the school knew that after two days, many people also knew that they were not capable of the job of Ouchi, so they left. Your heroes have persevered to this day, which is commendable. Today's emperor's grace is vast, and there is good news for you. ”
At this time, Pan's father-in-law came with a decree again, and said, "Heroes take the order-"
Everyone knelt down to receive the order, and Gonggong Pan opened the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The assessment has lasted for two days, and all the heroes have not flinched after the assessment. I feel that all of you have both ability and political integrity, so the rest of them are all in the inner office, today's assessment, only according to the performance of the official, take the top eight people, the eight commanders of the inner house, the rest of the people, according to the performance of the internal departments. Those who have expertise will be specially appointed officials. ”
"Thank you, Lord Longen—" Everyone shouted, everyone was smiling at this time, and many people sighed at this time, fortunately they didn't give up yesterday, even if some of them were injured by yesterday's poison.
Wei Feng smiled: "It seems that the emperor tested two days ago in addition to our talents, as well as our qualities. ”
"The emperor's money really makes many people want to give up, and this money is enough for many people to live a life of thrift...... Pu Mu said.
"Brother Pu-" Chen Renhai met Pu Mu and said hello.
"It turned out to be Brother Chen. Congratulations to Brother Chen today—" Pu Mu said.
"I, how happy is it? If I say happy, it is a happy event for everyone. Chen Renhai said.
Pu Mu said: "I congratulate Brother Chen in advance on winning the position of commander of the Great Interior—" Pu Mu said with a smile.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to laugh, but I think you learned something bad with Mr. Tricky. Chen Renhai said with a smile.
"Eh, don't take me-" Tricky Wind laughed.
At this time, there was a cheerful atmosphere in the crowd, and Captain Xiao interrupted everyone's conversation and said, "Everyone be quiet - today is the last day of the assessment, and it is about your official positions in the court, please go all out." With that, he drew out the order flag, and after a burst of flags, a group of forbidden officers and soldiers rushed into the courtyard of the house and surrounded everyone.
Captain Xiao said: "If you kill them, you can come out - if you can't kill them, you will turn over the cards and admit defeat, and they will no longer fight with you." With that, Captain Xiao and Father-in-law Pan exited the mansion and locked the door.
These forbidden soldiers were armed with swords, and some also armed with spears.
Only then did everyone change from laughter to horror - at the moment these people are fierce and vicious, and their appearance does not seem to look very much like the forbidden army, because the eyes of the forbidden army will not be so terrifying, like wild beasts - now these people are the death row prisoners sent by the emperor to the prison of the criminal department in the capital and the prison of the criminal department in the outer palace last night. The emperor secretly ordered these people to come and fight with the rest of the people, and the people or groups who could defeat one of them could be released. Of course, if they can't beat them, they will face the fate of being killed.
These death row prisoners have been pressed step by step, "They are death row prisoners-" Long Xiang Tiandao.
"Why be so cruel, I'm not an executioner—" Someone in the crowd spoke, and Guo Yu put his right hand on the hilt of his sword after saying this.
"Zicheng, follow me for a while, these outlaws may hurt you-" Wang Yu said to Zhao Zicheng, he knew how dangerous the gang in front of him was. There are rumors in the army that there were rumors that death row prisoners went out to fight on behalf of the army before the first emperor, and after these people were armed with swords, I am afraid that it is really difficult to deal with.
At this time, the circle surrounding everyone has become smaller and smaller, someone in the crowd blew Xun, a wave of sound gushed out, everyone felt tightness in their chests, and immediately used their internal strength to adjust their breathing, and some people in the crowd were already extremely uncomfortable, scolding: "Who, this is to kill a thousand enemies, and to lose eight hundred-"
Li Defei's whistle became louder and louder, and the sound changed, and in an instant the people in the crowd were no longer comfortable, and the surrounding death row inmates had unbearable headaches as soon as they approached at this time.
The encirclement created by the sound became wider and wider, and Li Defei changed his tune again, and those death row prisoners were directly knocked down by a wave of sound, and many people in the outer circle had already bled to death.
One of the death row inmates howled and slashed at him with a knife, and the scuffle was about to break out.
The sound of the fight is very strong, but fortunately, the sound here is difficult to reach the inner door, so it will not alarm the emperor and the queen in the harem, the queen mother, and the concubines.
Grandpa Pan trembled a little when he heard the sound, "Grandpa Pan?" Captain Xiao asked.
"Our family is fine, it's just that our family hasn't seen this meeting, if it's not well controlled, what should we do if we hurt the people in the big house." "Pan Gong is fair.
"Come on, help Father-in-law Pan go down to rest. Xiao Xiaowei said, "Grandpa Pan, it's good to have me here, you go down to rest first, and I'll inform you after this time." ”
Zhao Zicheng fell into order, seven or eight people surrounded him, and those seven or eight people threatened him with knives, and said: "Admit defeat quickly-" Zhao Zicheng thought that he had entered the inner hall and did not seek the position of commander, his eyes rolled, and he thought of the actions of the people in front of him - if he admitted defeat, they would probably be released, when Zhao Zicheng was about to speak, Wang Yu flew a knife, directly making the head of one person in front of him move, and the rest of the people were knocked down by a whirling kick before they could react, Wang Yu copied a knife, and everyone was lifeless after two bursts of chopping.
Zhao Zicheng was about to speak, but Wang Yu pulled him over and shouted at him, "Follow me-"
Now that they were surrounded by more than a dozen people, Wang Yu killed fiercely, and fought with the dozen or so people again.
At this time, about a dozen people from death row prisoners had been escorted, and the dozen or so people were surrounded and slashed by them, and surrendered under their shouts.
More than a dozen people were temporarily released outside the door for medical treatment and bandaging, while the prisoners on death row were pardoned by the emperor and returned to freedom.
The death row prisoners in the door are becoming more and more ruthless, but how can these people who are concerned with official positions give up, among these people are not small, their goal is only to lead, how can they surrender easily?
Pu Mu and the others were also surrounded, Pu Mu and Wei Feng did not hurt these death row prisoners in the slightest, but only beat them back, but it was the Mo family brothers in their group who rose up and killed many people under their brothers' swords. At this time, the people in front of Pu Mu were all knocked down by him, and he saw a woman also slashing at him with a knife. He grabbed the woman's hand and shouted, "Don't kill, go quickly-" With that, his left arm was cut off by a death row prisoner on the side, and in an instant, blood flowed down his fingers, and the strange wind slapped away the person who slashed Pu Mu with a knife. At this time, Mo Xibo's sword stabbed directly at the woman, Pu Mu directly kicked his sword away, and Mo Xibo scolded: "What are you doing? kill her——"
Pu Mu didn't reply, he went directly to the house with light skills, put the woman on the roof, and said to her: "I lost to you today-" Pu Mu shook off the blood on his hand, endured the pain, and jumped out of the door directly with him, and said to Captain Xiao: "I lost, Captain Xiao-"
"Someone, bandage him—" Lieutenant Xiao said. "Why?"
"There are still many old and weak women and children among these death row inmates, even if they are evaluated by death row inmates and us, how can they be allowed to come? As someone said, use us as executioners?" Pu Mu said. The woman hadn't gone yet, and she hadn't come back to her senses about what had just happened.
"Pu Shaoxia, I know that you are from the rivers and lakes, but after entering the imperial court, you need to be restrained. Do you know that if you do this today, it will directly affect your official career?"
Pu Mu said: "Pu admired the assessment a few days ago, which not only tested our cooperation, but also tested our talent, alertness, and tenacity. Because of these, we waited until we were able to seal the official and joined the company, and now this last hurdle, is it a ruthless test for me?" Pu Mu's voice was a little loud.
"That's right—the test is your ruthlessness, your obedience—you can choose to save people, of course, I'm afraid you'll choose to pass by the position of commander—" Captain Xiao's voice drowned out Pu Mu's voice.
Father-in-law Pan came to the door again at this time and said, "Why are you two arguing?"
"Back to Pan's father-in-law, the two of us were just talking, but the sound was too loud to raise our voices. Captain Xiao smiled.
Father-in-law Pan looked at Pu Mu and the female prisoner in front of him, as if he had understood the reason for the matter, and said: "Pu Mu, I will talk to the emperor about this matter in detail, and let the emperor decide." You, don't be in this palace, come on, take him out of the palace gate. ”
The woman was being dragged out of the palace by the eunuch next to her, and suddenly turned around and knelt down to Pu Mu, and said, "Little woman thank you Pu Shaoxia for saving her life-" After that, she kowtowed to Pu Mu again, and Pu Mu immediately helped her up, took out a piece of silver from her coat pocket, and said to her: "This is your entanglement when you go home...... Father-in-law Pan, Pu has a request-"
Pan Gong said fairly: "What's the matter with you?"
"Please show mercy to Father-in-law Pan, and then entangle her a little more, so that she can return home. Pu Mu said.
Pan Gong said fairly: "Hey......" After that, he took out his sleeve, took out a pair of agate bracelets, put them on the woman's hand, and said: "You take this, go home, don't break the law again." ”
The woman also kowtowed to Grandpa Pan, and followed the guidance of the little eunuch and went out of the palace gate.
The fighting gradually stopped, and not a single death row prisoner came out of it.
The gate opened, only to see Long Xiangtian howl, a palm to the door, the gate was directly knocked down to one side - when a child stabbed at him, he raised the child and snatched the child's knife, but at this moment, I don't know whose knife it was, a knife cut off the child's head, and blood splashed on his face. He would never kill these people, he, like Pu Mu, also has his own principles of doing things, but today, he lightly slapped an old woman and wanted to retreat, but the old woman was shocked by him and directly knocked the back of her head and lost her life; The blood on his cheeks seemed to mock him. He leaned against the wall and said nothing.
The atmosphere at the scene was in two different moods from the reading of the decree, and no one wanted to speak. Chen Renhai sat on the ground in a daze, he finally understood what King Dingnan said to him that night, looked at some blood stains on his fingers, shook his head, and laughed stunned.
The wind was tired of killing, and sat directly on the roof in the second half of the journey. Gu Qian wiped his weapon, and Guo Yu also sat on the steps......
Captain Xiao said sharply: "Get up immediately, follow all the fathers-in-law to freshen up, and after freshening up, go to the small garden in the northwest corner for lunch-I will inform the emperor of the results of this assessment, and there will be an official today--congratulations-" Captain Xiao's voice was very loud, and he needed to be loud at this time to lift these spirits.
The crowd slowly left the bloody mansion.
"Immediately sent someone to clean up these corpses and secretly transport them out of the palace. The emperor decreed that after cleaning up this house, the people of the Ministry of Labor rebuilt the house here, and then went to invite Fulong Temple to come here to chant the scriptures and surpass the soul. "Pan Gong is fair.
The little eunuchs beside him took the order back.
