Chapter 182: The Great Trouble
Chapter 182: The Great Trouble
Ah Sankou Nangong Manman saw through the light that the front was full of black and pressed people standing in the yamen of the state capital.
The person who took the lead turned out to be a handsome and fast-looking person, about forty years old, he was followed by two little girls, Ah San and Nangong Manman knew when they saw these two little girls, it turned out to be the letter from the nineteenth aunt who complained all day long to report to the government.
When the seafarer saw the handsome man, he covered his ears with his hands and said, "Son-in-law, come and save me quickly!"
"Daddy, hurry up and save the rich man!" The nineteenth aunt and grandmother pulled the handsome catcher with her hand and said, "Look at him, his face has been injured by these robbers!"
"The Jiangyang thief from there will be captured before he is tied!" The handsome catcher continued: "My state capital is always a hundred miles red, and I hope that the two of you will not be in a dying struggle and will be captured." ”
After speaking, Baili Hong slowly approached Ah San Nangong Manman.
"Killing you will stain my hands, you come here!" Ah San beckoned to Baili Red and said, "You are really blind to your eyes!" Ah San finished speaking, took out a token from his arms and held it up in front of Baili Hongyan, who was slowly approaching them.
With the help of the light, Baili Hong saw four words on the token: "If I am here".
When Baili Hong saw this token, it was like being hammered on his head with a thousand catties of hammer, and the imperial court clearly stipulated that seeing this token was like seeing the emperor in person. And in the entire imperial court, only the emperor's own "Loyal and Brave Marquis" has such a token.
Baili Hong is the chief catcher in the yamen of the state capital, and he knows a little about the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, and he also knows that the person holding the token in his hand is Ah San, who has recently become famous in the rivers and lakes.
"Baili Hong, you are so bold, when you see the 'Loyal and Brave Marquis', you dare to bow down, it's not that you want to rebel!" Nangong Manman suddenly raised his voice and said: "Those who see this token, if they see the emperor in person, everyone present will not kneel and salute!"
"The head of the state capital, Bai Li Hong, greets the Hou Ye!" Bai Li Hong clasped his hands into fists and knelt down on his knees, bowing deeply to Ah San.
Everyone present saw that the chief catcher of the state capital knelt down and saluted, and they all hurriedly followed suit.
That rich Ruhai thought that his son-in-law, Bai Lihong, the chief catcher of the state capital, would be able to save his life, but now it seems that he was really wrong.
He saw that everyone bowed to Ah San, although he was injured in the face by Nangong Manman with a sword, but he had to bow down with everyone.
"I just heard you say that your name is Baili Hong?" Ah San's eyes looked coldly at the head catcher of the state capital who was kneeling on the ground and said, "The seafarer is your son-in-law?"
"The villain is at the disposal of the Hou Ye!" Bai Lihong avoided talking about whether the seafarer was his son-in-law and said: "Everything is according to the orders of the Hou Ye!"
"Since you say so, I won't pursue anything about you for the time being!" Ah San said, "You now send someone to immediately notify the officials in the highest yamen here to come to see me!"
"Good villain, do it immediately!" Bai Lihong turned around and pointed at a slightly older catcher and said, "You go to the yamen of the state capital and ask Lord Di to come over and meet the 'Zhongyong Marquis' Hou Ye!"
"It's not far from the capital here, you immediately send someone to the palace of the seventh prince in the capital to invite the seventh prince over!" Ah San said to Baili Hong: "When you arrive at the gate of the seventh prince's mansion, just say that I will let you come!"
Baili Hong beckoned to a tall and thin man and said: "The capital is only a few hundred miles away from us, you take two horses, and immediately rush to the mansion of the seventh prince in the capital, let the seventh prince come to us, and say that the 'Marquis of Zhongyong' sent you!"
After speaking, Baili Hong took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the tall and thin catcher and said: "The eyebrows have been burned, and you must step up on the road!"
"Yes, always catch the head!" The tall and thin catcher quickly took the silver handed over by Baili Hong and left happily, he thought to himself, this Bai Li Hong is a famous iron rooster, and today he actually took out so much silver for himself to go to the capital, which is really commendable.
"Also, this rich Ruhai and his eldest wife are now you will send someone to take them into custody, and no one is allowed to approach them without my order!" Ah San said to Bai Lihong: "Don't think that he is your relative, you will show favoritism!"
"Don't dare, Master Hou!" Bai Lihong waved at the catcher standing outside the door and said: "The four of you are responsible for guarding the seafarers and the couple, and no one is allowed to approach them without the order of the 'Zhongyong Hou'!"
"I can't imagine that this seafarer is really a big family!" Ah San said with a smile: "If the emperor's relatives are like this seafarer, will the common people still have a life?"
Ah San and Nangong Manman sat in the seafarer's house almost with a cup of tea, and Di Da from the state capital walked into the seafarer's mansion in a panic, he never thought that this seafarer would be made to such a fate one day.
Bai Lihong saw Lord Di enter the seafarer's mansion, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said to Lord Di as he walked: "This 'Zhongyong Marquis' has sent someone to the capital to invite the Seventh Prince!"
"How is it possible? That Seventh Prince is a person who can be invited by anyone who wants to invite him?" Lord Di looked at Baili Hong in astonishment and said, "Where did this seafarer offend the 'Zhongyong Marquis', why did the 'Zhongyong Marquis' appear here with us!"
"I don't know, anyway, adults should be careful, don't annoy this 'Zhongyong Marquis', there will be no way to end up when the time comes!" Bai Lihong is also a competent subordinate, he is afraid that their state capital, Lord Di, will not be able to distinguish right from wrong, and offend the 'Zhongyong Marquis'.
Master Di is also a veteran of officialdom, and he also knows that Bailihong is patting his ass, and at the same time, he also lets himself be careful.
"My lord, the person in gray clothes is 'Zhongyong Hou', that is, Ah San, who is famous in the rivers and lakes!" Bai Lihong said: "I'll go and inform Hou Ye first!"
After speaking, Baili Hong hurriedly ran to Ah San and said, "Master Hou, Master Di of our state capital has arrived and is rushing over!"
Ah Santou didn't raise his head and said, "Do you want this marquis to meet him!"
Although Ah San's voice was not loud, Master Di of the state capital had already heard it, and his heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Xiaguan Di Chaogang greets Hou Ye!"
"Lord Di is so powerful!" Ah San didn't like this Lord Di in front of him very much, so he teased and said: "Master Ben asked people to invite you Lord Di, you only came here now, could it be that you don't even care about the current emperor!"
"Wronged, Hou Ye, Xia Guan has been desperately on the way, just arrived!" Master Di stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his head! Then he said: "Xia Guan doesn't know that Hou Ye has come to our small place, and it is a capital crime to fail to greet him from afar!"
Ah San's eyes stared at this Master Di tightly and said, "You must be guilty, but I don't know if you will be guilty of a capital crime!" Ah San slashed his palm on the coffee table of the seafarer's house, and the mahogany carved coffee table shattered in response! Those coffee tables that were originally very strong and durable were actually smashed to pieces by Ah San's palm; Ah San continued: "There is a person like Fu Ruhai in your jurisdiction, and you don't care about it. ”
"It's not that the lower officials don't pay attention, but the lower officials have a humble official position and don't dare to ask!" Di Chaogang clasped his hands into fists and said: "Master Hou, what the lower officials said is the truth!"
Ah Sanshuang looked at this Di Chaogang and said: "If everyone is an official for self-protection, where will the world be peaceful?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the lower official is stupid!" Di Chaogang knelt on the ground in fear and didn't dare to raise his head!
"You go aside first and wait, and then look for you when the Seventh Prince comes!" Ah San really didn't want to see such a sleek person, this kind of person was of no use to the court and only harmful to the court when placed above the officialdom.
Ah San and Nangong Manman were waiting for the arrival of the Seventh Prince at the seafarer's house.
Master Di Chaogang Di of that state capital was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around, not stopping for a moment, he held his head with both hands, trying his best, how could he get through this difficult situation in front of him? He thought of his upline in the court for a while, he just thought about it, and immediately denied it, is there still the upline in the court that the Seven Princes are still in high power? That is definitely impossible, but now this matter is imminent, what should I do? What should I do?
Di Chaogang is not trying to keep his official position now, but wants to save his own life! How many things he has done with this rich Ruhai, he himself understands that no matter which one, as long as it is found out, will the "Loyal and Yong Marquis" let him Di Chaogang go?
Think about it a few years ago, there have been people who have gone to the yamen of the state capital to report the case, saying that their daughter could not be found, or died for no reason. Some people can still find the body, and some people can't even find the body!
He thinks that the seven princes of the dynasty are high and powerful, who dares to offend the seven princes, who would have thought that a "loyal and brave marquis" would emerge from there, and this rich sea is simply not a personal opinion, he can actually send someone to the capital to let the seven princes come to this town in person to deal with things, this authority is not comparable to ordinary people!
Looking at the world, there are few people who can achieve such authority.
Ah San and Nangong Manman instructed Bai Lihong, the chief catcher of the state capital, to seal off the entire mansion outside the seafarers, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
A huge seafarer's mansion, no one is allowed to enter or exit, immediately caused all kinds of conjectures among the local people, most people think that this seafarer is going to take a concubine again, only the blacksmith in the west of the town and the old lady Wang who died niece know that they really met a nobleman, that young man is really a noble person in their life!
In the past two days, they have been waiting for news in the seafarers' mansion every day, but since the blockade of the seafarers' mansion, no one has been able to enter or leave, so they can't find any useful news for them!
Outside the gate of the seafarer's mansion, there are many ordinary people in the town, and they don't know what is going on!
The morning glow of the dawn shone on every corner of the entire seafarer's mansion, Ah San and Nangong Manman were directly illuminated by the dawn of the morning glow through the gap in the window, and the two of them had a tired look on their faces, were they really tired on their faces?
Maybe their hearts are even more exhausted, because they have been in the mansion outside the seafarers for a day and two nights, and this Seventh Prince has not yet arrived, is it because there is a delay on the way, or does the Seventh Prince not want to come at all?
Could it be that Ah San, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, overestimated his status in the eyes of the Seventh Prince? Or is the Seventh Prince just a person who is different from what he seems.
Or is it that the Seventh Prince refuses to condescend to come in order to take care of his own face?
Just when Ah San was full of thoughts, he suddenly heard the sound of someone sounding a gong at the door to open the way, and someone said loudly: "The Seventh Prince has arrived, and all the officials have greeted the king!"
Ah San looked at Nangong Manman's haggard face and said, "Your imperial uncle is finally here!"
The Seventh Prince's arrival in person, can he not show favoritism in vain and deal with his brother-in-law fairly?
There is no end to the matter yet, and no one knows what the outcome will be.
Everyone can only know what the result is when the results of the Seventh Prince's processing come out.
