100.Chapter 100
A few days ago, various yamen in Luoyang temporarily transferred some miscellaneous officials and small officials to temporarily send them to the Imperial Prison, and this surnamed Wei was also one of them. Needless to say, this Wei Shuban still has some financial friendship with some people on the wall, which is not considered a life.
These guards on the wall were still hesitating, and He Chu had already opened his mouth and raised his voice to greet him: "Wei Sanlang, Zhou Da Ling has an order, today the capital is in chaos, the edict and prison are the most important places, and the internal and external handovers are all cut off! If there is no edict from the Son of Heaven, the rest will not be accepted, if you have no major incident, please go back!"
The immortal warlock who rolled off the horse was not annoyed when he heard the leader of the jailer on the wall say this, but just smiled and said: "Although Zhou Da ordered a Jun order, but my matter is really important, otherwise who would risk such a big deal to deliver the letter at such a critical juncture? You and Xiao Sheng also had a friendship with a horse spoon in a pot at the beginning, if you can spread it, Xiao Sheng will be grateful, and I have prepared a piety for everyone here!"
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Ye put his hand in his sleeve and took out a bulging silk cloth pocket—if it weren't for the slow movement of his hands, people would have seen how he could put such a heavy thing in his fluttering sleeves.
The silk is light and thin, and you can see through the bag that it is all the appearance of fine horseshoe silver falling heavily, and then shake it, it is the sound of silver ingots.
In the vast Central Plains, precious metals such as silver and gold have always been in short supply, so that since the pre-Qin period, the so-called "US dollar" refers not to gold but to bronze, and the so-called "evil gold" refers to iron. In the Han Dynasty, several expansions included the small kingdoms of Yelang and Dian in Yunnan and Guizhou into the territory, so that the gold of Lishui and the silver of Zhuti were continuously imported into the Central Plains. Before that, Emperor Wen of Han wanted to curry favor with his lover, but he only gave away a copper mine.
By the time Emperor Huan was in power, the tribes of the Dian Kingdom had already shown signs of instability, and during the Xiping period, they were even more rebellious, and the Yizhou Taishou reluctantly suppressed it, and could only recognize the semi-independent status quo of the southwestern tribes. The inflow of Zhu Tiyin into the Central Plains has become quite a big problem, and the depreciation of the five-baht coins circulating in the market over the past few years has made matters worse.
In this case, due to the large face value, the precious metal silver often has no role in circulation, and the roadside stalls drank the sweet tofu brain and shot a few grains of scattered silver. In this case, this bag has a lot of horseshoe silver that is stored as the original value of the coffin, no matter how you look at it, it has a great origin, and the person behind this messenger has a thick enough blood!
He Chu listened to the sound of the horseshoe silver in Wei Ye's money bag bumping against each other, and his eyes were a little different, but his face was still that businesslike, and he shook his head and said: "This is Zhou Daling's careful order to send down, you and I are both public people, and we also know the difficulties of running errands! Wei Sanlang, you don't have to embarrass us!"
For such a prevarication, Wei Ye raised his head and just smiled: "These little things, what is it worth, do you want Brother He to tell me?" It's just that An Sima is here now, and let Xiaosheng say something to the officials, and then turn around." ”
Wei Ye assured here that He Chu was also satisfied, if he really let the general play the temper of the relatives of the big mink family, and insisted on breaking in, he naturally did not dare to stop him, but he would inevitably eat melons later. If this An Sima can sympathize with these officials of the Imperial Prison Department, it would be really good.
Seeing Wei Ye approaching An Sima, whose face was full of injuries and looked like he had fought his way out of the encirclement, he bowed, and then approached the horse and whispered something, and then saw that An Sima slowly took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and threw it to Wei Ye casually.
Wei Ye took the jade pendant, and then turned around and shouted to He Chu: "Now it is also urgent, An Sima will take this piece of Shang Fang's palace-like jade pendant that Zhang Lao often serves as a letter, and hand it over to Zhou Daling along with the documents, and he will not be imprisoned lightly." Just ask Brother He to hang a basket down, and let Xiao Sheng put the paperwork and jade pendant in, just bother Brother He to go once, so good?"
Without waiting for He Chu to nod, the more well-behaved figure next to him had already prepared an empty rice basket and a thick hemp rope used to tie people. He Chu smacked his lips and smiled, and nodded downward: "In this way, it depends on you, Wei Sanlang, you must know that your elder brother and I have also taken on a lot of relationships for you, and after this matter is understood, you don't forget your brother and me!"
Wei Ye still had a very good look, while putting the silver bag in his hand, the text on his shoulder, and the jade pendant that An Ling took out into the basket that He Chu hung down, and bowed his hand to salute: "This is natural, natural! After this matter is over, the younger brother will naturally have a good reward!"
He Chu lifted the hanging basket, picked up the silver bag with his hand, and put it into his clothes, the weight of the Wen Xiao jade pendant was not too light, and he also took it in one hand. Just as he was satisfied, He Chu was also polite to Wei Ye: "Wei Sanlang, since you are here as a noble official, how can we not understand etiquette in the Imperial Prison Department?" It's just that the situation is not good today, and the Imperial Prison Department is an unfortunate place, if An Sima doesn't mind, please sit in the ear room for a while, and I will go to report to Zhou Daling!"
When he said this, the immortal warlock under the wall was naturally full of smiles and answers, and He Chu was not surprised, so he put the ox horn bow to the side, picked up the Wen Zhen and jade pendant, and went to the direction of the Imperial Prison Bureau.
He was in a hurry here, and the immortal warlocks below also seemed to be serving the so-called An Sima to dismount. I don't know if An Sima really got out of the encirclement and got out of his strength, or the children of the eunuch family, they are all embroidered pillows that are not used, this An Sima looks like a big man who is also a majestic man, and when he gets off the horse, he is crooked and falling, and he is like a little daughter-in-law, if he is not supported by this Wei Shuban, he will directly fall into a rolling gourd, I don't know how many ugly appearances there are.
Thanks to the support of the Wei Shuban, he finally entered the ear room of the Imperial Prison Department, and someone went to flatter, this one said to prepare some pulp, and the other said to prepare some hot water to clear the wounds for An Sima Qingyi. On the contrary, the Wei Shuban fell silent, with one hand behind his back, and silently recited the words in his mouth: "...... Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three......"
Others don't know what he's thinking, and they don't want to do much. On the contrary, Ansima was also strange, he entered the ear room, sat down, but did not say anything, and the other jailers wanted to flatter, and this person also looked like he was ignorant of it.
In such a strange appearance, He Chu had already arrived at the back hall of the public hall and reported to the guards at the door.
At this time, the furnishings in the back hall are already in a mess everywhere, as if they have just encountered a storm transit, and like they have just been robbed, and the things that can be moved are either turned over or upside down. In the back hall of this garbage dump, Zhou Bin walked back and forth eagerly, like a blindfolded mule pulling a whip to grind. The wives and concubines who were supposed to serve Zhou Bin were all disheveled, and their delicate faces like flowers were either bruised or scratched, and they all bowed their heads and bowed their bows, not even daring to cry.
Zhou Bin is also annoyed - at this time, why is the movement outside not stopping? Even if you can't put your mind down elsewhere, then the Weiwei Temple and the palace guards are always their own people, right? Even if they only send dozens of palace swordsmen, these rabble outside have already broken away!
The scholar said that in front of the sword, it doesn't even count as a joke!
Unless, unless, something really happened that made the ten permanent servants have to be restrained for a while. But if this is the case, let those civil servants return to the government, what benefits can their lieutenants get? Maybe those who swallow it will be forced to stretch their necks and spit out!
At this critical juncture, what should we do?
It should be said that Zhou Bin's thinking of the dead eunuch is still correct. It's just that caring is chaotic, to this point, everyone in the eunuch party can only advance but not retreat, once the retreat is weak, the party members Qingliu counterattacked, then it was not a joke. To say that those eunuch members from big family families, such as Zhang Ji and Yuan puppets, even if one person is offended, it will not affect the family behind them. But if you change this class of dead eunuchs, the end can only be the difference between the three clans, the nine clans, and the ten clans.
In such a distraught, Zhou Bin could only use the concubines he bought to do stress relief exercises.
That is, at this juncture when he was extremely troubled, outside the door was He Chu's voice: "Zhou Daling, the villain has an urgent matter to report! Zhang Lao Chang's nephew, Sima Angong of the city gate, asked to see him outside the door, and Zhang Shizhong of Shizhong Temple sent someone to send a secret letter!"
This sound passed through, and when it fell in Zhou Bin's ears, it was tantamount to the sound of the imperial decree, and he didn't care about his age at the moment, and without Xiao Zhou Bin's body and bones were already weak, he jumped directly into the court with bare feet: "How are you, is it really Zhang Laochang's nephew An Sima who is asking to see him outside?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already kicked He Chu with a heartfelt kick: "You brainless thief with an army! Then An Sima is a Sima at the city gate of a thousand stones, but you dare to treat him so slowly, why don't you invite him to come to the back hall to talk to the old man?"
He Chu ate this kick, but he didn't dare to fall, he only held the jade pendant and Wen Zhen in his hand, and hurriedly defended: "The little one is also worried that the outside will be too chaotic, and he doesn't dare to let outsiders in, so he specially asked An Sima's portable jade pendant to bring it together and be a witness......
As soon as he said this, Zhou Bin also reacted, and he didn't feel that the land in the court was too cold with his bare feet, so he walked a few steps quickly to He Chu, picked up the jade pendant He Chu was holding and looked at it, and then nodded: "This is the thing that His Majesty rewarded Zhang Lao Chang to play with in the Shangyuan Day, it seems that it is really An Sima." You said there's another secret letter, show it to me!"
Saying this, Zhou Bin was already so anxious that he almost stuffed a nest of rats in his heart, Zhang Lao Chang Waiter, Zhang Lao Chang Waiter, don't you already have some plans, and you want us to cooperate? If so, this is a great thing, as long as my generation can still take a stand, we can't let those sour people turn to the sky!
This shows that Wei Ye pretended to be in the name of the owner of the letter to send it cleverly, Zhang let the middle of the wait, Zhang said to serve the middle, but Zhang Lao Chang and Zhang Lao wait, in a hurry, who can tell the difference? Not to mention Zhou Bin, a dead eunuch who is already so anxious that the cat and the mouse are worried together, it is even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the false!
He Chu did not dare to slacken, and hurriedly handed his hand Chinese to the top, and Zhou Bin did not care, so he put the lid with silk and wax on the Wen Zheng with his hand——
At this moment, in the ear room of the Imperial Prison Bureau, there was a clerk in a green shirt and a sword with a grim look on his face, and his sword trick was falsely drawn, and he shouted: "Edict!"
Wei Ye's "edict" word exited, and Zhou Bin, who uncovered the text, only felt that a red light burst out in front of him, and an incomparable heat wave rushed to his face, and then in a thunderous thunderstorm, he broke away from the shackles of gravity and flew up!
