Chapter 620: The Old Vine Blossoms

When an official enters Beijing to report on his work, he must first go to the ministry to report, and then wait for the emperor's summons, and after the emperor has summoned you, you can leave Beijing to take up your post.

Of course, this is a normal situation.

If the emperor is lazy, or there are officials in the court who control the government, then you are not even qualified to meet the emperor, so you will be directly exempted from this process and leave Beijing directly to take up your post.

However, Li Xiuyuan's situation is a bit special, he not only came to Beijing this time to report on his work, but also escorted several criminal officials, so the situation is more complicated.

"Lord Li, since you have arrived in the capital, according to the previous order, you will escort Master Fu to the heavenly prison, wait for Your Majesty to send it, and hope that Lord Li will allow it. As soon as he walked out of the ferry, Zuo Qianhu hugged his fists and saluted.

"You just escort the old man to the prison, why do you need to ask for his permission, just leave now, don't delay any longer. Before Li Xiuyuan could speak, Fu Tianqiu said with a cold face.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan did not stop it, and said: "Since Zuo Qianhu has official business, then I will naturally not be strong, but in addition to Master Fu, the other criminal officials who surrendered the city also ask Zuo Qianhu to be escorted to the heavenly prison one by one, and I believe that it will be very soon after I make this matter clear to the imperial court."

There will be a result. ”

"Yes, sir. Zuo Qianhu answered, and immediately beckoned his subordinates, took the prisoner car, and escorted these criminal officers to prepare to leave.

"Father rest assured, Li Gongzi is also a disgusting and kind person, he will definitely not sit and watch his father stay in the prison without asking, he will definitely find a way to return his father's innocence, so that his father can come out of the prison smoothly, the daughter is not filial, can not accompany her father, Zuo Qianhu, father in the prison

After that, I ask you to take care of me, and not to let my father be punished and suffer from hunger. ”

Fu Qingfeng looked at his father Fu Tianqiu with some worry and concern, and then pleaded with Zuo Qianhu.

Zuo Qianhu immediately said: "Miss Fu rest assured, Master Fu is fair and strict, and his sleeves are clean, the imperial court will definitely change Lord Fu's innocence, and the things that he has done will not disappoint Miss Fu and Li Gongzi." ”

"Don't let him help, his help is nothing more than buying off those corrupt officials with gold and silver vulgar things, and bad court discipline, if this is the innocence, the old man would rather not. Fu Tianqiu snorted coldly and said: "There is a way to eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries, the old man believes that His Majesty will definitely give the old minister one."

Innocent. ”

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I won't have to worry about it, but this prison is easy to enter, and it's not certain whether Master Fu can get out safely." ”

"There are many insidious methods of villains, and they can't be settled by relying on Master Fu's righteousness......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something.

A slight whistling sound sounded from one direction, heading straight for Fu Tianqiu in the prisoner car.

"Huh~!"

A short arrow flew out of the crowd, intending to kill him.

Li Xiuyuan reacted, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the arrow had already fallen into his palm.

"There are assassins. Zuo Qianhu reacted instantly, he drank suddenly, and immediately took out a long knife to guard the surroundings.

The other armorers were also ready to fight.

"Don't make a fuss, put away your weapons, this is a hidden arrow, quenched with poison, it is an experienced assassin who did it, if it can't be hit, it will definitely leave with the crowd now, it is impossible to show up again, and even if the assassin is found, what can it do?

That's it, if you dare to do it in this place, you must have thought of a perfect plan. ”

Li Xiuyuan looked at the brass short arrow in his hand and said slowly, and did not track down the assassin.

If he really wants to find it by his means, he must be able to find it easily, but there is no need to mess around now.

Zuo Qianhu immediately said: "It's a lowly guard, and the crime deserves death, thank you Lord Li just now for stopping the assassin." ”

"No, I can't blame you, maybe the enemy is not just going for Master Fu, maybe there is also a little temptation of my meaning, if Master Fu can successfully assassinate me, then he can also assassinate me...... This is a warning given to me by these officials in the capital. Li Xiuyuan smiled playfully, palmed his hand,

The sleeve arrow disappeared: "Soldiers first, then salute, this is beating me, let me know that no matter how powerful my Yangzhou assassin is, when I arrive in the capital, I have to coil the dragon, and I have to lie down if I am a tiger." Otherwise, whether you can or get out of the capital is a question. ”

"My lord, you are an official of the imperial court, how dare they?" Zuo Qianhu exclaimed.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "The officials of the imperial court have big families behind them, the emperor's relatives and relatives are backing, the power is wrong, and the important positions of the imperial court have been carved up by them

Finish. ”

"I have no power or power in the court, and my status is also lowly, even if I die, I will not make any waves, on the contrary, I can vacate a position of assassin, which is a happy thing. ”

Before he entered Beijing, he had asked Li Linfu to analyze it, and there were only three possibilities for entering Beijing this time, either to be killed by a black-hearted person looking for a chance, or to stay in the capital to find an opportunity to dismiss the official, or to resign himself.

If you want to report back to Yangzhou smoothly, the chance is very small.

However, Li Linfu also said that this is the fate of ordinary scholars entering Beijing, and if some extraordinary means are used, it will be another result.

The extraordinary means of doing it are nothing more than fighting in secret.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived in the capital, I came to a dismount.

"Li Gongzi, isn't it dangerous for my father to say this?" Fu Qingfeng was also startled, and said worriedly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It was very dangerous before, but now it is safe, such assassinations are unsuccessful, the enemy already knows my ability, I can prevent assassination, then I can also assassinate others, and then use such means, the people behind are probably not happy to see it, they are more afraid of death than me."

Yes, a scheming person will avoid the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”

"Boiling frogs in warm water, cutting meat with a blunt knife is what they are good at, so that you want to resist but can't afford the price of resistance, and finally you are crushed to death step by step. ”

"Zuo Qianhu, send Master Fu to the prison, if something happens to Master Fu, I will definitely investigate the assassin thoroughly, and I will never let anyone go. Li Xiuyuan said with a cold face.

This is not for Zuo Qianhu, but for people in the shadows.

"Yes, sir. ”

Master Fu was silent after experiencing this assassination, perhaps he had already thought of who was attacking him in his heart, but he just kept his mouth shut.

"Go to the Ministry of Officials for the record, and then find an inn to rest, well, forget it, I remember that my Li family's dart shop has already opened to the capital, go to the dart store to settle down, Han Meng, you take a few people to find out where our Li family's dart shop is," Li Xiu said from afar.

"Yes, young master. Han Meng hugged his fist and left with the five armor soldiers.

And just when Li Xiuyuan went to the ministry.

In an official residence in the capital.

Two old men sat in a quiet garden playing chess, and another old man watched the chess without saying a word.

If there are court officials here, they will definitely recognize that these are the three ministers of the court, among which the old man who is silent is Lord Yang of Zhongshu Province, and the other two old men are also six squires, high-ranking and powerful people.

"That Li Xiuyuan from Yangzhou has come to the capital, and he arrived today by water. ”

"Hmph, a waterway has been gone for more than two months, this young scholar thief is very slippery, more than two months for him to govern Yangzhou, I am afraid that many officials have been subdued by him, and many of our people have been removed from his post and investigated. ”

"Lord Yang, your beloved son was beheaded by this Li Xiuyuan, this person is ruthless, and he is from a soldier's background, so it is not easy to deal with, in the opinion of the lower officials, there are only three ways to deal with Li Xiuyuan. ”

The old man who played chess said with a cold face: "Kill, dismiss, kneel down as a dog." ”

"That's right, the trick of soldiers first and then salute doesn't work, he is a soldier, he can't close the door and beat the dog, otherwise the dog can always bite a few people to death when he jumps over the wall, Lord Yang, you can't forget, Li Xiuyuan is the character of Li Liangjin, the king of the Nine Mountains, even if Li Liangjin is a waste, the Maitreya sect entrenched in the south,

The White Lotus Sect, that is the evil demon Dao that cannot be destroyed for hundreds of years, he can destroy it, it can be seen that his ability is extraordinary. Another old man said.

"Tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, and captured a few soldiers and horses of the general soldiers, there are 30,000 infantry, and the state of several general soldiers can be reported to you in the book to be omitted, Lord Yang, you won't not understand, and I heard that he is still recruiting troops and horses in Yangzhou, to count less, he has at least forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses under his command, once it is not good,

This is another King of the Nine Mountains. ”

"No, the King of Jiushan is not as good as him, this person may be Wang Mang, Meng De's generation, there is a way to govern the country like cooking Xiaoxian, Lord Yang is not in a hurry, if something is bad, others will lift the table and not play with you. ”

Lord Yang looked at his nose and nose, sat aside and didn't understand, but said slowly: "Play chess, play chess, say what to do, it's time for you to fall." ”

After speaking, he said again: "Besides, the assassin was not sent by the official, it was your own idea, you want to test his quality, the official can endure the revenge of killing the son, so that you are a little impatient, a position of Yangzhou assassin history will make you rush like this, don't forget, Li Xiuyuan."

There is also a protector on top of it. ”

"It's just a monk who sells evil arts, sooner or later he will kill this person, and he won't let him call for wind and rain above the court. ”

"If it's so easy, then the official won't be worried, let the officials get him card for a while, leave him in the capital for a while, and see the situation. Lord Yang said.

"It's nature. ”

While discussing for a few days, Li Xiuyuan had already gone to the Ministry of Officials, and after filing the record, he submitted some documents, and the rest was to stay in the capital and wait for news.

Wait for the day when Zhao Guan's family summons him.

However, he felt that he wanted to see that Zhao Guan's family, and it was estimated that he would have to wait for several days.
