Chapter 453: Pulling the snake out of the hole (Part 2)

Xing'an Bo Mansion recruited 10 or 20 servants.

The court did not respond much to such news. When Ma Qiao recruited people, he gave out the sign of military merit, but cleverly concealed the origin of the case. Even if the censor was full and could not get along with him, Xu Dang has now put on airs, and Zhang Cai, with his many years of experience in the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel, was about to be promoted to the right assistant censor. He recruited several censors with great pen and sleek pens under his command. He would not have to worry about not winning the lawsuit.

Therefore, the candidate for the Minister of War has changed, and this incident caught everyone off guard. Although Yang Yiqing and Liu Yu were both governors, their qualifications and achievements were far apart, and they were in an uproar. Even Li Dongyang couldn't help but return home from Wenyuan Pavilion in the evening, and he asked the servant who was waiting in front of the door: "Can there be a letter from Shaanxi today?"

"Master, there are no Shaanxi people, it doesn't matter. They have already been sorted out and sent to the study."

Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing are not only brothers of the same school, but also have close friends. They often communicate with each other on weekdays. When they learned that there was no letter sent from Shaanxi, he frowned and nodded slightly. When he was about to enter the door, who knew that the servant said another sentence.

"But Pingbei Bo has just arrived for a while and insisted on waiting for the master, so his wife asked someone to serve tea in the small flower hall."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Li Dongyang scolded him angrily, but forgot that he asked if there was a letter first, so he quickly walked to the small flower hall. When he arrived in front of the door, he heard a faint voice from inside, followed by Xu Xun's familiar laughter. However, he made a gesture and ordered the servant who was serving in front of the door to come over, and then asked in a low voice: "Who is accompanying the guest?"

"Report to the master, it's the master."

When Li Dongyang learned that he was his heir, Li Zhaofan, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was only one male at home who could entertain guests. A little sadness suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. He waved his hand and asked someone to retreat, and then he walked to the door. At this time, the voice inside was clearly heard.

"There are Xie Dasicheng in the North Supervisor and Zhang Dasicheng in the South Supervisor. Both of them are well-educated and scholars, so the current trend of the South Supervisor North Supervisor is one of the most solemn. According to the origin of Shi's family education, it is the same everywhere, so there is no need to look far and far. Both of the two Dasicheng and I have some connections. As far as I know, Xie Dasicheng and Yuanfu were in the same year and were both Shujishi. This poetry and literature are the same as Yuanfu. Since Yuanfu was busy with government affairs and had no time to give advice, it was the same for Shi's brother to go to the North Supervisor to seek advice..."

Hearing this, Li Dongyang finally couldn't continue listening to the corner of the wall. He coughed lightly and then put up the bamboo curtains and entered the door. Seeing that Li Zhaofan, who was sitting down, stood up immediately, and Xu Xun stood up a step later before getting up. He smiled and said, "It's a little late to come back, so I'll wait for Pingbei Bo for a long time."

"Where is where, Brother Shi and I are about the same age, and I am quite comfortable talking."

A similar age?

Seeing that Li Zhaofan was indeed full of energy, Li Dongyang could not help but sigh in secret when he saw that he had just talked with Xu Xun. His two sons died early, and his heir Li Zhaofan was the second son of his brother Li Dongming, but he was too young after all. After adopting this son, he was already the second assistant to the cabinet. Wenyuan Pavilion was busy with government affairs and could not be too concerned about his knowledge and character. Even if Mrs. Zhu was virtuous, well-educated, she was not too strict with her heirs. Therefore, Li Zhaofan, who was already in the world, could not compare with the experienced Xu Xun. I don’t know if he showed any words that should not be said!

"You go and meet your mother."

After sending Li Zhaofan away, Li Dongyang sat down. Facing a person who was as sensible as himself, he was too lazy to exchange greetings and said bluntly: "Is Pingbei Bo coming for Yang Sui'an's business?"

"Yuan Fu is over forty years older than me. Isn't this Pingbei Bo a bad guy? I just call me the name Shizhen. I think that the last emperor gave these two words, but there were not many people calling them." Xu Xun thought that Zhu Houzhao never remembered these two words. Except when he arrived in Nanjing, he often called him like this from Zhang Mao to Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua. At other times, he had almost no chance to use the word "大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大�

It turned out that Xu Xun had known it for a long time, and even Yang Yiqing had already known it, and he made a statement!

Although Li Dongyang was silent on his face, he was shocked. He knew Yang Yiqing's temperament very well and would not care about the gains and losses at this moment, and Xu Xun could do this. This was not sophistication, but a monster. At this moment, he calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Since you say that, if other people fight, it's probably in vain?"

Xu Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip with the lid. Then he smiled as if nothing had happened: "The head of the cabinet, the emperor has already ordered the elder Wang Geruliu. If this matter is fought again, it is just a thankless task. Moreover, the reason why the emperor used Liu Yu instead of Sui'an was not because Liu Yu had anything to do, but because Sui'an did a good job in the three towns in Shaanxi and transferred the people back to the three sides. So I asked Sui'an not to work hard and choose the successor first. In addition, if Sui'an invited Huai Yan and other comments to make suggestions came to the cabinet, please ask Yuan Fu to clear it for him and handle it smoothly."

"So, if you come today, just let me and the mud?"

Seeing Xu Xun laughing but not speaking, Li Dongyang couldn't help but sigh deeply. At this time, the servant outside asked that the dinner was ready. He looked at Xu Xun who was standing up from the corner of his wardrobe. Even though he knew that this person did not mean to stay at his home for meals, he still had to say, "It's getting late, let's go back after eating."

"I should have kept my meal before leaving, but if someone saw that I was close to Yuanfu, I became like this. Some people would scold you, and some people would doubt me, it would be better for me to make a living." Xu Xun smiled and bowed, and said softly, "Yuanfu doesn't have to worry about being this uninvited guest often. If I don't want you and Xi Ni in the future, I won't come to the door easily. Of course, when I send me out later, Yuanfu showed some annoyance, which seemed to make others happier."

Although Li Dongyang was willing to make such a gesture, Xu Xun asked him to come forward first, but he was a little embarrassed at such a big age. When he saw a carriage parked there, Xu Xun walked straight down the steps and walked towards the carriage. He couldn't help but ask, "Shizhen usually rides horses in and out of the palace. When did he change it to this carriage?"

"With Lao Yuanfu's concern, nothing special. It's just that he's tired from riding horses all day long, so he's tired when he's waiting for a carriage." At this point, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Besides, the people I offended are really going to have a sea. It's dark all over the night. If anyone unexpectedly does not help me, it's better to be more convenient for the carriage."

Hearing these words, when Xu Xun bowed and took the bus and left, Li Dongyang, who was still there, had to pretend to be frowning. However, he frowned not because of anything else, but because of the deep meaning of Xu Xun's last sentence. After thinking about it, he decided to put it aside and ignore it for the time being.

Now, there is no Dongchang led by Wang Yue for their cabinet to urge him! Speaking of which, Wang Yue and Fan Ting died mysteriously on the way to Nanjing, but there is not even a person who advocates pursuing him!

It was approaching the curfew season. The heat during the day gradually faded away, and a cool breeze blew around, blew up through the bamboo curtains in front of him, which was cool and blocked by the wind and sand. In addition, the carriage was quite stable, Xu Xun, who was sitting in it, gradually became sleepy. It was not until a cry came from outside that he opened his eyes.

"What's up?"

"Sir, I have checked the waist card and it is a small flag of the Fushi Department of Jinyiweibei Town."

"Let's come here."

At this time, the carriage had stopped. Seeing that the driver in front of him got out of the car and rolled up the curtains, he saw clearly the little flag that came forward with the light of the lanterns outside. He nodded and a guard led his men to come forward, but stopped five steps away from the front of the car. After the little flag gave his salute, he immediately presented a letter with both hands and said: "Sir, this was sent by my Li Qianhu, my family was ordered by Beizhi."

Xu Xun asked the servant to take the letter. When the little flag learned that Li Yifeng had no other instructions, he could not order a reward. After receiving the letter from the guard, when the curtain fell again, the carriage slowly started to move forward. He opened the letter with the light of the bright tiles in the carriage. The sleepiness just now immediately disappeared. After holding the letter for a long time, he folded it and put it in close confinement, and half lay down again.

Liu Jin was really cunning and came up with such a way to deal with Korean!

Although Maqiao promised, some martial arts people often believe in one sentence, that is, it is better to be a slave than to others. Therefore, there are only eighteen people who are willing to join Xing'an Bo Mansion by writing documents, and the few with the best martial arts bows and arrows are not included. Maqiao has no regrets about this. There are many military families in the capital. With Xu Xun's current status, he can't pick out what he wants when he opens his mouth? And the dozen or so people who stayed behind each divided into one person and one room, and several sets of ready-made clothes, shoes and socks were sent, and they were all settled down soon. However, the expected visit to Pingbei Bo seemed to be in a long way.

Jiang Shanfei naturally has some patience. This time he was a simple man, so he couldn't ignore anyone like he was in the inn. Most of the time, although he was in the room, he occasionally straightened his back and said something to the man. That night, when he was talking to the next room, a capable man who was moving with him as soon as he heard a little news, someone broke in outside.

The man who came in was a row of three east wings living with them. He could not change his slander. Jiang Shanfei only knew that he had a criminal record in the government. Now he was desperate and hid in the Jiangyang thief who came from the Xu family. After entering, he sat down and snatched the teapot and fed a lot. Then he put down the teapot and said, "The work is here. We will go to see our new master tomorrow morning, and then guard him to the camp of Zuoguan Hall!"

Lu Jian, who had been blowing with Jiangshanfei before, immediately lit up his eyes: "So fast?"

"Hey, if there was a news from outside, I heard that it would have been a long time to just identify the origins of these people. Do you think this wealthy family is so easy to enter?" He said, then lowered his voice, and looked around sneakily, and then said mysteriously, "There was a major criminal in this prison in the Ministry of Justice. I heard that that person was very likely to be unfavorable to that adult, so the mansion was on guard as soon as the news came. Now there were also additional patrolers on the roof. There were people watching outside our yard. Who was that adult? The Jinyiwei in the West Factory was able to make a fuse. It was said that he ordered the whole city to search, and all the city gates were greeted. That person could not escape even if he had great skills."

Jiang Shanfei was surprised with others, but was really shocked. The Ministry of Justice had escaped from prison for so many years. In addition, it had been a while since his own affairs. Those prisoners were worried about being blamed and would try every means not to report it. Tu Xun was also familiar with him. The most important thing was that it was better to have less than more things. Since this was the case, this matter should not be exposed so easily, enough for him to do things outside. When he thought that Xu Xun had investigated outside, he might turn around and checked the house. He couldn't help but clench his fists secretly.

"This is really surprising! So, if we can fight against that guy and take it down, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Jiang Shanfei was no longer interested in listening to the words of the two. He chatted with him for a while, and then he used the excuse to rest early and restore his energy to return to the room. As soon as he closed the door, he immediately started to prepare. He carefully hid the things he brought in on his sleeves and the calves in his calves. Finally, he stood in front of the bronze mirror with a grinding surface, and showed a deep determination on his face, which was damaged by the scar.

Early the next morning, when Xu Xun left the second gate as usual, the tenth-dressed servants in neat clothes were already there early. Although they had not had time to teach them any rules for a few days, they finally looked decent when they knelt down and kowtowed, but they still seemed chaotic. Seeing these people like this, Xu Xun nodded slightly and said a few casually, and then got on the horse. With the young soldiers and the guards recommended by Ma Qiao, the rest of the people also got on the horse. Jiang Shanfei stared at Xu Xun in front of him, and even didn't pay attention to anyone on the left and right approaching.

"After all, the adults are generous. Such a horse is at least twenty taels of silver..."

"Yes, yes, I took us to the military camp as soon as I went out. I really didn't plan to treat us as slaves."

Jiang Shanfei was so patient that he answered these things. Well, um, ah, he fooled it. Seeing that the horse was riding on the front, he quickly followed him with a horse's belly. He had been a thief, and this horse's essential equestrian is naturally very skilled. At this time, he was ready to take action. He didn't notice that he was only caring about his legs and never grabbed the reins with his hands. And Lu Mang, who lived on the left and right, saw this scene and exchanged a glance. After they looked at each other, they turned their heads away as if nothing had happened and gestured to their respective people.

From Wu'anhou Hutong, Xuanwumen Street was then out of Fuchengmen Street, and then out of Fuchengmen Street, there were densely populated streets and markets along the way. Jiang Shanfei wanted to take action many times, but he never looked at the opportunity and could only barely suppress his temperament. Until he left Fuchengmen Street and went to the official road, avoiding several groups of farmers and vendors who rushed to Beijing to sell vegetables and markets in the early morning, he saw that there were fewer people around him, so he calmly controlled his horse and slowly moved forward.

The speed was getting faster and the equestrians were divided into the heights of equestrians. Before he knew it, he was only five or six people away from Xu Xun at the forefront. He walked steadily for a quarter of an hour. Seeing a carriage and three or five party members coming from the corner in front of him, the group slowed down slightly and turned to the right. The formation was a little scattered. Finally, when he caught the opportunity, he raised his right hand and immediately beat a few pieces of chess pieces made of fine iron.

Seeing that the three people in front of him were unable to avoid it, the horses under him were in pain and they all went crazy. He immediately jumped forward with both legs and leaped the waist knife that had been sent out before in his hand. However, just as he pulled out the waist knife with lightning speed, he was shocked to find a light in his hand. At first, he had checked the waist knife that was not a problem, but at some point it turned into a blunt weapon that had never been opened. He was furious and knew that he could not release his aura at this time, so he turned into a chop, and smashed it heavily at Xu Xun's head and neck in front. However, he unexpectedly stretched out a knife from the side, pulling and pulling it, and holding it against him.

Cao Qian's sword was very fast, and he blocked Xu Xun. Seeing that the sword failed, Jiang Shanfei threw the sword away and stepped on the stirrups with his feet. He curled up like a cat and hid on the horse's back. He avoided the two swords that were attacking from left and right. He immediately rushed forward. The shoes and elbows under his feet all showed sharp edges, and he didn't care about the clamor of catching the assassin behind him.

Seeing Cao Qian in front of him, it was Xu Xun's turn to knock him down. As soon as he smiled, he heard two puffs. Then there was a sharp pain between his back and the waist. Ling Kong's body fell down involuntarily. Immediately, he heard a cold voice: "Take this person down, regardless of life or death, and there will be a lot of rewards!"

Seeing that the people around him were already surrounding him, he thought he had no power to fight back. At this moment, Jiangshan Feiqing knew that he had been caught in an arrow, so he raised his last little force to throw a copper coin dart. While the person was hiding, he saw Xu Xun was right in front of him, and he pulled the dagger and threw it hard. Then he just fell to the ground. Despite this, he still looked up to see the results of his last blow, but before he could see anything, he felt a sharp pain coming from his limbs and joints, but the others around him snatched forward and slashed several times. When an anxious shout finally came, he couldn't help but humming and forgot all the pain.

"Not good, sir is injured. Take the assassin and return to the city quickly!"

Finally, God helped him, his copper coin darts and daggers were poisoned, and the dog thief would undoubtedly die!

On this day, the Wenhua Palace was a routine report from the Ministry of Revenue. However, Han Wen, who had lost a lot of weight, reported a few things. Liu Jin suddenly walked in quietly from the back door, walked behind Zhu Houzhao, and lowered his head and said a few words to the little emperor. Although Han Wen insisted on not resigning, he saw that the person he wrote to ask for his death was now rising. He didn't mention the anger in his heart. After Liu Jin finished speaking, he stood up straight, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, although it was Wenhua Palace, the people in the Sili Prison would enter without reporting, which was the crime of losing etiquette!"

"Oh, it's a crime to pick someone, but Han Shangshu is very fond of profit." Liu Jin looked at Han Wen with a smile without a smile. Seeing that the person suddenly changed his expression, he said slowly, "I don't know if it's Han Shangshu, your own Ministry of Revenue, how should you punish him?" He said as he raised the memorial in his hand and said sternly, "I just got the report that the Ministry of Revenue's resignation of the households into the treasury this time was actually mixed in with pseudo-gold silver. As Han Wen, as the Minister of Revenue, what should you be punished!"

The pseudo-bank incident has always been strictly prohibited by the court, but it has been repeatedly banned since dynasties, but it is often rampant. Not to mention the Ministry of Revenue, even the vassal treasury of the various governing departments has often had headaches. Since Han Wen took office, the Ministry of Revenue has been more meticulous than several times more meticulous than usual when checking the money and grain paid by the provincial households. Therefore, at first glance, he did not speak Korean, but the ministers and the thirteenth department doctors were all shocked.

"You...you..."

"The East Factory has already taken the escort account to pay the pseudo-gold silver. He has confessed. What else do you have to say!"

Liu Jin looked at Han Wen proudly. Seeing Zhu Houzhao frowned, he was about to add fuel to the fire to set the victory and defeat, a noise suddenly came from outside the hall. Zhu Houzhao was already annoyed, and immediately told Ruisheng, who was standing beside him to go out and see the movement. After a while, Ruisheng hurriedly ran back, his face as pale as a piece of paper.

"Emperor, Pingbei Bo... Pingbei Bo was assassinated outside the city!"

"ah!"

Zhu Houzhao was shocked and angry for a moment, and he jumped up all of a sudden. He didn't care whether Han Wen should be responsible for the pseudo-silver entering the treasury. He immediately asked in anger: "Where is the person, and what is the situation now?"

"It's said that the person has been sent back to Xing'an Bo Mansion!"

"Go and have a look!"

Since Xu Xun was sent back by a group of people at a glance, Xing'an Bo Mansion has been in chaos. Although Xu Xun was not given another mansion after he was awarded the title, everyone has always called him the young master. But everyone knows that compared to Xu Liang, this master is the real character. Just watching Xu Xun come back quietly, the big storm in the court suddenly subsided, and no one will guess. If this person really fell now, the Xing'an Bo Mansion that had finally flourished would be over. For a moment, old people like Liu An or newcomers like Jin Liu were busy pressing all over the place and hiring people. Finally, when the two of them met, they had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, someone ran in like flying outside.

"Emperor...the emperor is here!"

This is too fast!

The two of them complained secretly, but no one dared to delay, so they rushed out to meet him. However, Zhu Houzhao was very quick. Before they reached the gate, they were facing the journey in the north and south. They were about to kneel down and kowtow, but Zhu Houzhao shouted, "I have spared the common etiquette. Come and tell me what happened!"
