Chapter 4 The Government of the People's Republic of China
Wei Guang and the three of them walked for more than half a day, and they hunted a lot of prey, and there was nothing else to do. It was late afternoon before we arrived at the bottom of the city. The soldiers guarding the city were chatting together, and when they saw Wei Guang and a few people coming, they greeted them with a smile, and they were not afraid of their blame.
When you enter the city, you can see all the dilapidated houses, very depressed, and you will see a large mansion not far away, which is Brother Qiao's home. Brother Qiao, whose real name is Wu Shanjing. The title of Brother Qiao comes from a hunting in the suburbs, Brother Qiao flew to take the geese hanging on the branches, and was praised for his light posture.
The Wu family operated a tea business, relying on the relationship with Jiangnan, controlling all the tea trade channels in the border pass, that is, trading with the Turks and Khitans outside the border, so they were rich on the first side. In particular, the Wu family is low-key, amiable, and the relationship between all parties is very well-connected. Brother Qiao has been learning literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he is proficient in everything, and he has also traveled south and north with a caravan selling tea, and he has seen a lot, but his appearance is not good, and he is also low-key, courageous and resourceful, and he does not reveal many skills.
Gongzi Wei Guangfu surnamed Sima, his father Sima Changkong for the North Guanzhou City Assassin History, earlier was the Wanming City Assassin History, because there was a gap with the Wanming City Que Manchu Prince, and for the Que Manchu Dynasty cronies reported many words and deeds of bad deeds, was deposed by the emperor, sent to the border pass, stayed in the barbaric North Guanzhou City, in fact, exiled.
Sima Weiguang and Sima Sheng returned home, and the servants reported that there were guests from the capital, so Sima Shang returned to the boudoir, and Wei Guang went to the living room to pay a visit. This guest is the imperial history from the capital, and he is an old friend of the Sima family. Wei Guang was waiting on the porch of the living room, and the servant went in to report it, and came out to say that it was okay. Wei Guang went in and saw that there were four people in the living room, and in the middle were his father and the royal Shi Gan Youxian of the capital.
Sima Weiguang knew Gan Youxian, seven years ago, he was thirteen years old, his father was falsely accused by the cronies of the prince of Que Man, confiscated all his property, Sima Weiguang's elder brother Sima Weichao and his father were confined to the home to take care of, Weiguang lived with his mother and three younger sisters in the capital Gan Youxian's house, and took care of the Gan family enthusiastically. When Sima Weiguang saw Gan Youliang, he was very happy, "It turned out to be Uncle Gan!" hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed. And they all rejoiced. Gan Youxian hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Why should the nephew be polite!"
Gan Youxian introduced the two people sitting under the table to Sima Weiguang, "These two sons and nephews have never met, they are all friends of your father and me, this is Zhao Wei, a middle-grade waiter." Sima Weiguang hurriedly bowed again, and Zhao Wei greeted him to get up. "This is Fang Tianxing, the governor of Liaoji City. Wei Guang bowed again, and Fang Tianxing hurriedly greeted him to get up.
Sima Weiguang sat down at the end. Gan Youxian said to Sima Changkong, "The nephew has also grown up, I think it was still so young back then, and now they are all adults." "No, it's been a few years. Gan Youxian said to Sima Weiguang again, "I heard that my nephew is about to get married next month, it's really gratifying, when the time comes, I will definitely come, and there will be a big gift!"
"Thank you, uncle, I'm going to break the bill again!"
"Where, where. Gan Youxian said to Changkong again, "It's not early, we still have something to do in the evening, I'll come back another day, you can rest assured, the world is not the same as before." ”
"Okay, then I won't stay. I'll prepare a feast another day, and we'll talk about it again. ”
Everyone got up, Sima and his son sent the three guests to the door, and after a while, the three guests got into the car and left. The father and son turned around and went to the mansion, Sima Changkong took Wei Guang back to the living room, and suddenly became angry, "You are so bold enough to go out to play again, and you don't even come back at night! You also followed, but you didn't care? What should you do if something goes wrong? Is that Wu Shanjing following you again? Tell you that you can't have any more dealings with him in the future! You will get married next month, stay in the mansion these days and prepare, and you can't go out of the pool!"
Wei Guang nodded again and again, "I spent last night at Wang Erwu's, nothing will happen." ”
"I also want to make an excuse, Wang Erwu's gang is not a serious family, in fact, they supply wine and meat to the city and the military camp, and secretly don't know what to do, so you have to have less contact in the future. ”
"Got it. Sima Weiguang agreed, "By the way, father, what is the matter with Uncle Gan's visit this time?
Changkong was relieved and angry, "It's not for sure, it's almost over, the newly enthroned Emperor Yuanlong is enlightened, and the prince of Que Man has already been sent to Cangzhou." ”
Wei Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, "That wicked man, it's a bad retribution!"
"Also, in the past two days, you are going to go to Yulong Pass to find your brother, Gan Youxian told me something just now," Sima Changkong was saying, Wei Guang suddenly shouted, "By the way, I still have something to say!"
Sima Changkong felt strange, "What's the matter with you?" Wei Guang leaned over and whispered something to his father. As they spoke, they walked to the table, Sima Weiguang picked up a brush on the table, and suddenly threw it towards the beam, followed by two marbles.
"Ahh Sima Changkong hurriedly pulled out the sword on the wall, and jumped over to the thief's neck, "You thief, when did you get to the beam of the house?" the thief closed his eyes and did not answer.
Sima Weiguang unveiled his face scarf, he was a middle-aged man of about thirty years old, with several deep wrinkles between his face, and a big opening at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a person who had been wandering outside all year round. Wei Guang pulled out the belt around his waist and tied the thief's hands and feet. Shoved him, "Tell me, when did you get to this beam?"
The thief sneered, "I just came in, but I didn't expect to be caught." ”
Sima Changkong said, "Look at this person's speech is yin and yang, not a good stubble." He slapped the thief on the head with his sword, "Tell me, what are you going to do in my house?"
The thief was beaten to the ground, screaming, and after a while he stopped, and then sneered again, "Find a baby." ”
Sima Changkong frowned, "Baby, what treasure do I have here?"
The thief sat up from the ground and snorted a few times, "Who doesn't know the treasure of the Sima family, this includes the map of several border passes and mountain passes in the north, if anyone has it, they can't lay down a river and establish themselves as kings." ”
"Meat words, how can our Sima family have such a thing?" Sima Changkong put the long sword back on the wall, calmly sat down on the chair on the seat.
"I want the general to marry your Sima family, and I also want to earn that map. The general was also far-sighted, and he co-opted many of his cronies internally, and colluded with the Turks outside, secretly contacting the Khitan and Jurchen, and rising against the Tang Dynasty sooner or later. ”
"You ronin, talking nonsense here!" Sima Weiguang kicked him to the ground, "Father, I'll get him out and cut him down!"
"The young man is very majestic, do you know that your future daughter-in-law is now in someone else's arms? If you want to say that the general has been arresting the fugitive for several days, he really thinks that the fugitive has stolen some treasure from him? But he really stole his treasure, and he has stolen his precious daughter! The next month's wedding, be careful of where the prostitutes are not the general's daughters in the cave room, but from them!" the thief laughed repeatedly. Wei Guangqi couldn't do it, so he had to go to the wall to get the sword.
Sima Changkong stopped him, "This person doesn't let him die simply, you go outside and call Chang 5 and Chang 6 to come over, don't tell others." Sima Weiguang hatefully agreed and ran out. Sima Changkong walked up to the thief, "Where did you hear all this?"
"Lord Thorn Shi, this is known to everyone outside. ”
"Where are the outsiders?" Sima Changkong walked behind him, pulled his collar open, looked at his back, and snorted, "I know where you came from, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect to run ****, I have to ask you well." ”
The thief furrowed his mouth, "Old man, you won't get anything from me. ”
"What you just said, didn't you just let me spare your life so that I could get something out of your mouth?"
The thief laughed, "Old man Assassin, I really can't underestimate you!"
Footsteps came from outside, and Sima Changkong returned to his chair. Wei Guang and Chang 5 and Chang 6 came over, and Sima Changkong asked them to tie up the thief, put it in their pockets, and let the two brothers Chang 5 and Chang 6 take them into the secret room and guard them well.
Wei Guang stayed, puzzled, "Father, what the thief said is the truth?"
"It's all made up, it's not credible. What kind of general's daughter was taken away by a fugitive, how ridiculous! You can prepare for next month's wedding with peace of mind. Also, as I told you just now, go to Yulong Pass in a few days to find your brother and ask him to take back all his soldiers from outside. At the end of the month, Gan Youxian wants to go to Yulong Pass to issue an edict and remove General Li Beidou who is defending the city, then Li Beidou must not listen, your brother must capture him, you can remember, go and return quickly, don't leak the news. ”
As he was talking, someone came running outside, it was the domestic servant Zhao Wang, who bowed in front of the door first and called "Master". Sima Changkong called him in, and Zhao Wang walked in the door, "The old man is here, there is something urgent, but it is said that in the military camp on the edge of the city, several officials were poisoned to death." There's a ruckus in the camp, can you go and see it?"
Sima Changkong waved his hand impatiently, "What's the matter, we don't care about him." ”
Sima Weiguang said, "This thing is strange, the ground has not been calm recently, father, let me go and take a look." ”
"Okay, you go, Zhao Wang, you go and follow, you can come back after you see." ”
