Chapter 64: The Jade Mansion Supervisor
Therefore, the commander directly sold a noodle knot, hugged his fists and said: "Master Mei, send two forbidden soldiers to lead the way for you." β
Liu Xu didn't speak, only stepped up, and went straight inside.
Eight government soldiers followed closely and also walked on their own.
The commander wanted to stop him, but he looked at Liu Xu's back and was still hesitating, and the government soldiers had already entered.
Therefore, I had to be distressed.
Liu Xu traveled all the way, followed by two forbidden soldiers, but it was also unimpeded.
Successively passed through the West Yuan Gate, Qin'an Palace, along the Wenyuan Pavilion forward, before coming to the West Five.
He followed the stone statue of Emperor Zhenwu to the west, passed by the Ruyi Pavilion, Jingshifang and other places, and approached the Jade Mansion Supervisor.
The Jade Mansion Supervisor is very large and is in charge of the palace wine.
It's especially busy during big festivals.
The power is not big, but it is the most involved with the people in the palace.
Up to the favored concubines, the chief eunuchs, and even the chief managers of all levels, down to the maids and maids, deacons and young eunuchs, but if they want to get some good wine for the emperor, for the master, or for themselves, they must have a good relationship with the master of the Jade Mansion.
As much as he can do things, he also sells noodles in many ways.
This makes Zheng Quan's popularity in the court not bad.
Therefore, Liu Xu has not yet arrived at the Yufu Prison, and someone in the palace has reported that the envoy of the Criminal Department has brought eight government soldiers over.
Zheng Quan was stunned, he has been in the palace for many years, can he still understand this?
He waved his hand, and the messenger clenched his fist and took the reward.
The next moment, Zheng Quan sat paralyzed on the black chair, his face gloomy and dripping water.
Eight government soldiers, that's the standard arrest of high-ranking officials!
In this Jade Mansion Prison, who can be higher than him?
So Zheng Quan knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid this level.
Therefore, he immediately commanded: "Come!"
"My lord, what do you command?"
β......β
β......β
But in a moment, Liu Xu was already in prison.
Holding the envoy's waist card, he went out of the criminal department to handle the case, and there were many guards in front of the palace, but no one dared to move.
Liu Xu stepped forward and walked towards the main hall, and the eight government soldiers behind him followed closely.
Inside, Zheng Quan was seen sitting upright on the prison master's chair.
Liu Xu opened his mouth and said straightly: "Master Zheng, come with us." β
Zheng Quan raised his upper eyelids, and then glanced at Liu Xu, but said flatly: "No matter what, I, Zheng Quan, am also the fourth grade supervisor of the palace, and it is not naΓ―ve for the envoy to want to take me away with just one sentence!"
"NaΓ―ve or not, Mei doesn't know! But since I have come to arrest you, I can bear this responsibility! Take it away!" Liu Xu ordered.
"Yes, my lord!" the eight of them shouted in unison, full of authority.
The next moment, the red silk was unfurled, the long knife was held horizontally, and the eight government soldiers immediately approached to take the person.
"Mei Qinghan, you are so bold! I see, who dares..."
The word dare has not yet been spit out, and the human industry has been captured.
At this time, the soldiers of the two governments escorted, four people were sideways, and there were still two people in front of them to open the way.
Liu Xu lifted Mofeng and stepped out of the Jade Mansion Prison.
Follow the two forbidden soldiers all the way until you reach the East City Gate.
When the city gate commander saw Liu Xu, he was immediately enthusiastic and said, "Master Mei has worked hard!"
Liu Xu nodded in greeting.
With a gesture, eight government soldiers escorted Zheng Quan, and Shi Ran went out of the palace gate.
It took nearly an hour to return to the Criminal Department.
Zheng Quan was escorted to the interrogation room, and before he entered the palace to drink a cup of tea, trouble came.
The new director of the subordinate order division, with a cadre of guards, came to the courtyard of the side hall with a fierce momentum.
Liu Xu smiled and immediately greeted: "Master Di, I have been busy with my duties recently, and I haven't had time to visit yet, so why bother you to come over in person." I don't know about you, but what are the instructions?"
The person in front of him is named Di Hao, nearly fifty years old, and has been a Situ in the Western Imperial City for six or seven years.
The left and right sides of the officialdom are the same as the two sides and the three knives.
Therefore, when he opened his mouth, he said in a strange tone, and said: "Instructions? Don't you dare! Mei Qinghan's name as a young man slaying the dragon is in this Eastern Imperial City, but it is well-known, and no one in Anyang County knows it?"
Liu Xu had a good temperament, as if he couldn't understand the words and said with a smile: "It's just that the people in the rivers and lakes praised it, Master Di is wonderful!"
Since Liu Xu has said this, it is like selling a lot of noodles, and in theory, it should be stopped.
Hum!
But the next moment, Di Hao snorted coldly, and there was disdain in his snort, and said: "Miaozan?! You really dare to take it to your body! You have only been in the Criminal Department for a month, and look at the appearance of this Eastern Imperial City being stirred up by you?!"
As soon as he heard this, Liu Xu couldn't help but laugh angrily, and immediately asked, "What has become of the Eastern Imperial City?"
"What does it look like?!Situ was killed, the Lin family was overthrown, and the whole city was strictly banned!
Scold!
Liu Xu couldn't help but chuckle, and his heart went around for a long time, it was for Zheng Quan.
"What are you laughing at?" Di Hao asked angrily.
"The subordinates think the adult's words are ridiculous!" Liu Xu Huo Ran spoke, his face cold.
"Mei Qinghan, you..."
"If you don't have other instructions, you can't send it far away!" Liu Xu clenched his fists.
"Mei Qinghan, you are so daring... Okay, if anything else, do you know who this Zheng Quan is?"
"Oh, whose people?"
"That's the one who was the governor of the court!"
Liu Xu looked plain and said disapprerovitically: "What's the matter? The only son of the Great Sikou still dares to arrest him, how can he still care about his governor?"
"Mei Qinghan, you really don't know the height of the mountains and the depth of the sea! You want to find death, but you can't pull me! Transfer Zheng Quan over, and I will handle this matter!"
"I'll leave it to you, let you let people go?!, then why should I go to the trouble of going to the palace to arrest people?" Liu Xu asked rhetorically.
Di Hao was stunned and had nothing to say.
"Send off!" Liu Xu said directly.
"Master Di, please!" the soldier in front of him bowed down and made a gesture of please.
"Mei Qinghan, you are too rigid and easy to break!" Di Hao was furious.
"Don't bother. Liu Xu turned around and stepped into the envoy's hall.
The teacher was unfavorable, Di Hao waved his sleeves and left angrily.
Take off the robe of the envoy, place the ink front, Liu Xu grinds the inkstone, takes the paper and licks the ink after a while, and starts to write.
The letter was written to Princess Qingyang, mostly with some greetings and misses, and there was a mention of the criminal department's crumbs, only one touch, only said that it was very relaxed.
In less than half a stick of incense, the letter was completed, and Liu Xu called the soldiers in.
"What do you command?" said the guards, entering the hall.
"Call Qiu Feng over. β
"Yes, my lord!" the soldiers saluted and retreated.
Liu Xu took a special envelope, put the letter in, and tightly enveloped it.
But after a while, Qiu Feng came over, holding the file in his hand.
When he entered the hall, he smiled and said, "Boss, this is what you want." β
Liu Xu took it, nodded, then handed over the letter, and said directly: "Give it to an envoy surnamed Zhao of the Li Fan Academy." β
"Yes!" Qiu Feng clenched his fists and retreated.
Liu Xu lightly opened Ye Wufang's file, looked at Qiu Feng's back, and said casually: "Send it personally!"
When Qiu Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned, and walked out of the envoy's hall indifferently.
The life information of Ye Wufang in his hand is very detailed, and Liu Xu read it carefully.
As the old saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.
In fact, it is the same principle that interrogating criminals and marching to war.
Attacking the body and forcing with force is an inferior strategy. Although it is direct, it often gains little from people like Ye Wufang.
Comparatively, attacking the heart is the first volume.
The reading was very delicate, and it was almost late in the evening that the file was finished.
Liu Xu studied it carefully, and roughly had a strategy in mind.
Summoned the guards to come in, and ordered them to go to the mansion to announce that they would not be back for dinner today.
The government soldiers should be, bow down and retreat.
Liu Xu poured a cup of hot tea and continued to read Song Xuanzhi's information.
Ye Yuyan is a legend, and Liu Xu couldn't help but feel curious when he read it.
It turned out that Song Xuanzhi was also born in the rivers and lakes, a martial arts, extremely strong, and had a well-known name when he was young.
But surprisingly, he is self-taught all his kung fu.
And he learned martial arts very late, and the crown year has just begun.
Without the guidance of a teacher, he missed the best cultivation age, and to this day, he can still reach the height of the Martial King, is it not legendary?
Not only martial arts, but also for officials, but also quite accomplished.
Out of the rivers and lakes, he is not attached to any force, but he has achieved the four grades of Situ, and he has been in charge of the Patriotic Department of the Ministry of War for seven years, but he is not shocked?
After reading, Liu Xu got up and paced, and only then did he have a different understanding of Song Xuanzhi.
I glanced up at the sky, it was already dark at night, and I thought that the personnel of the Criminal Department had already returned to their residences.
Liu Xu held Mo Feng and walked forward, just as he was about to leave the envoy's hall, when Qiu Feng came in.
"Boss, Ye Wuxian has been tied to the torture rack, is he being tried now?"
"Don't worry! Let's go eat some food and drinks. β
Belch?
Qiu Feng's face was black.
Liu Xu asked casually, "Have you ever eaten it?"
"I just finished interrogating Zheng Quan, and I haven't had time yet. Ben has no appetite, but when you say it, he is hungry. β
"Let's have a piece!" Liu Xu stepped out of the envoy's hall.
Qiu Feng nodded and followed behind him.
Walking all the way, Liu Xu said, "What's wrong?"
"Huh!"
Qiu Feng was slightly stunned, but reacted for a moment, and said: "Zheng Quan, an official oil! At first, he didn't say anything, but as soon as he took the account sheet, the evidence was laid out, and everything in the accounts was explained. But there is nothing in the accounts, and I don't admit it at all! I think that I am also a soft bone, and when I go back, I will be punished, and I will be able to ask something. β
Liu Xu nodded thoughtfully, and finally said: "I guess I fantasize that someone can save him, right?
"That's nature, boss, rest assured!"
While talking, the two came to a restaurant.
The shopkeeper came out just to close the storefront, but when he saw Liu Xu, he was immediately startled, and immediately bowed down to greet, "Master Mei?!"
"Is this closing?" asked Liu Xu with a smile.
"If you don't come, it's closing. But you're here, and you're not going to close until you're full. The old man laughed.
"It's still the usual meal, and a jug of wine. Liu Xu commanded.
"Sitting, sir, and you'll be there later. β
Liu Xu came to the north side, placed the lower ink front, and sat by the window.
After a moment's time, Qiu Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, why do you always sit in this position every time you go to the tavern to eat?
Hehe...
Liu Xu laughed, and only said freely: "What is the saying! But when I was a child, I lived in a high-walled compound, and although I admired the chivalrous rivers and lakes outside, I was not allowed to go out. I read from books every day that the master would choose to sit in the northernmost window position when he ate in the tavern, saying that he could break the window and escape when he was in danger. So for some reason, I was keen on this table..."
As he spoke, Liu Xu couldn't help but get upset.
Because seven or eight years have passed in a flash.
Sometimes when I think about it this time, I don't dare to think deeply.
Because just like the name, or the catkins in spring outside the window, although they are living a good life, they have been floating all the time.
