Looking at the Jin Yiwei whizzing past in front of him, hundreds of Jin Yiwei were indeed selected elites. Each one of them was a tiger with a strong back and full of evil spirit, which only made these officials retreat in horror.
When Li Huan led the royal guards away, all the officials looked gloomy and ugly and cursed at Li Huan's retreating back.
As the officials dispersed and the palace gates were moved, Liu Jian encouraged the officials to knock on the palace door to ask for an audience with the emperor. The attempt to force the emperor to capture Li Huan came to an end temporarily and had a result.
In the eyes of many people, this time all the cabinet members took action, plus hundreds of officials. Such a huge scene, even if the emperor could not be forced to issue an order to take down Li Huan, at least it could make Li Huan disgraced and lose his official position.
There should be no problem with dismissal.
However, the development of the matter was far beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that instead of capturing Li Huan, Baiguan would be dismissed from office and arrested.
Two cabinet ministers and more than a dozen officials were dismissed, leaving countless people dumbfounded. If they were not convinced that they were not hearing hallucinations, they would all wonder if they were misinformed.
On the long street, Ma Ming followed Li Huan and thought about what happened not long ago and couldn't help but said to Li Huan: "Sir, tell Xie Qian, Liu Jian and the others returning home like this, it will definitely be very lively!"
Li Huan nodded and said: "That's natural. It's hard to say that many officials have gathered in the Xie Mansion at this moment, waiting for the old Xie Ge to return in triumph!"
Xie Qian had many party members in the court, and he had been in high and low positions for decades. He had been the chief minister for more than ten years, so he was not idle. Today, those who went to the palace with him were only part of the hundreds of officials.
There must be a considerable number of officials who did not go to Kengong with Xie Qian for various reasons, but they would definitely go to Xie's Mansion to wait for Xie Qian.
Ma Ming's eyes lit up and he said: "If that's the case, why don't we go and join in the fun? I believe those officials will react very wonderfully if they see you, sir."
Li Huan couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this. After all, in his previous life, he was just a young man who had just entered society and his edges had not been rubbed off. Now he is just a teenager.
A young man should have the vitality of a young man, and he didn't bother to do anything like adding insult to injury, but if he just went to see the excitement of Xie's family, it wasn't impossible.
Li Huan immediately burst into laughter and said to Ma Ming: "You're right, if this kind of excitement is without me as one of the protagonists, wouldn't it lose a bit of the atmosphere?"
Ma Ming was stunned for a moment. He just mentioned it casually and never thought that Li Huan was really going.
However, Ma Ming soon became excited. It is human nature to watch the excitement. He was a dignified old man, and there might be many officials. You can imagine that if they and Xie Qian appeared in Xie's Mansion later, the scene would be absolutely shocking.
Very much looking forward to it.
Li Huan looked at the group of Jinyi guards behind him, and immediately said to Zhao Yi, the Qianhu of Jinyiwei: "Zhao Yi, take some of your men to escort Shi Hao and others to the imperial edict."
Zhao Yi immediately cupped his fists to accept the order and said: "I will accept the order."
As he spoke, Li Huan looked at Chen Ke who was standing aside and said with a smile, "Are you interested in accompanying me to a good show?"
Chen Ke had just clearly heard the conversation between Li Huan and Ma Ming. When he heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't dare to invite you as I wish!"
Li Huan immediately pulled the reins and said: "Let's go, we should have no problem catching up with the sedan chair that is sending Xie Qian back to his home with our foot strength."
As he spoke, Li Huan flicked his riding whip, and dozens of guards in golden robes were immediately separated from the large group of people and followed Li Huan, Chen Ke and others.
In Maoyan Alley, the servants of the Xie Mansion were guarding the door as always, looking into the distance from time to time.
Early in the morning, my master rushed to the imperial city in a sedan chair. Even though he was a servant, he knew that his master was going to lead the officials to impeach Li Huan, the royal guard who had brought disaster to the country and the people.
In the eyes of these servants, since their master is a senior minister in the cabinet, isn't it easy to impeach a mere Jin Yiwei town envoy?
They all thought that when they saw Xie Qian return later, they would congratulate their master immediately. If they could please their master, they might get rewarded.
And at this moment, there are more than ten or twenty officials in their mansion, drinking tea and waiting for their master to return.
So many officials came to wait for their master, doesn't it mean that everyone is very optimistic about his trip?
While several servants were guarding the door of the mansion boredly, they saw a sedan being carried over from a distance. But for some reason, the sedan seemed to be followed by a group of gorgeously dressed men with long knives on their waists.
A handsome man.
On a few horses, there were even several royal guards dressed in royal robes walking towards them, chatting and laughing.
However, the servants didn't think too much about it. They hadn't seen any kind of powerful person in these years, even if they were grander than this, they had seen them more than once.
Maybe the other party is some kind of powerful person, just like the officials in the mansion, they are waiting for their own master to return.
But when the sedan approached, several servants suddenly realized that the sedan was exactly the sedan their master Xie Qian was riding.
When they got closer, several people recognized that the sedan bearers were none other than the bearers of their Xie Mansion, Xie Da and Xie Er.
The sedan bearers and doorkeepers are from the same class, and they are no strangers to each other in drinking and making money.
Li Huan was riding on a horse, wearing a flying fish suit, holding a whip in his hand, looking at the Xie Mansion in front of him with interest.
Li Huan said to Chen Ke who was on the side: "Mr. Xie Ge's mansion occupies an exclusive alley. It is spacious yet elegant. It's really good!"
Chen Ke said with a smile: "This house was given by Emperor Xiaozong back then. Let me take a look at the plaque on the door of the house. It is said to be written by His Majesty himself. Not many people can enjoy this kind of honor."
When Li Huan heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, I have been a veteran minister of several dynasties. During the reign of the first emperor, I enjoyed all the grace and position of a highly respected minister. At this point in my life, what more can I ask for!"
As he said this, Li Huan's eyes fell on one spot, and he couldn't help but smile a little. He pointed his riding whip at the rows of sedans parked in the distance, and the carriage directed at Chen Ke and said, "Ziming, wait and see."
Chen Ke heard the words and looked in the direction pointed by Li Huan's riding whip. After taking a look, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that it is as expected by the adults. Many people are waiting for Xie Qian to return to the mansion at the moment.
!”
Li Huan laughed and said, "Yes, we can't let them down."
Chen Ke and Ma Ming couldn't help laughing.
The little leader among the servants guarding the door called Xie Ping. At this moment, Xie Ping saw the sedan stopped in front of the door. He quickly ordered the other people to open the door and walked forward, preparing to lift the sedan for Xie Qian.
curtains.
Hearing the unbridled laughter of Li Huan, Chen Ke, and Ma Ming, he couldn't help but frown. He secretly thought to himself, "Don't they know where this place is?"
However, he was a servant, leaning against the Xie Mansion, but he did not dare to say anything without the master's instructions. He just glared at Li Huan and others.
Ignoring Li Huan and the others, Xie Ping focused on the sedan that had landed. But for some reason, Xie Ping found that the sedan bearers all had mournful faces, giving the impression that
It feels like my parents are dead.
However, Xie Ping didn't think so much. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt his wrist being hit hard. Xie Ping almost instinctively cursed.
Although he is a servant with no status, he is still a servant of the Xie family. On weekdays, even the officials are polite to him.
"You fucking..."
But before Xie Ping could finish his curse words, there was a crisp sound, and Xie Ping's whole body was blown away, his teeth mixed with blood spilled all over the floor.
The person who did it was none other than Ma Ming. You must know that Xie Ping had just glared at them. Li Huan, Chen Ke and the others were not as familiar with the same servants, but that didn't mean that Ma Ming didn't take it to heart.
Seeing Xie Ping reach out, Ma Ming directly gave Xie Ping a scabbard.
Seeing this situation, several other servants guarding the door rushed towards Ma Ming almost out of conditioned reflex. While cursing in their mouths, they actually wanted to take action. Unfortunately, before these people could rush forward, several Jinyi guards swung the Xiuchundao.
They smashed them indiscriminately, and only a few people cried for mercy.
Seeing this scene, several bearers shrank their necks and did not dare to say a word. In the past, even if these Jinyi guards had the courage, they would not dare to beat Xie Mansion like this in front of the gate.
Servants.
However, after their master was dismissed from office, these royal guards no longer took them seriously.
Especially when they saw Li Huan, who was watching this scene calmly, several bearers knew Li Huan's identity, and they tried their best to shrink down, for fear that the other party would notice them.
The wails of Xie Ping and others were not without any effect, at least they alarmed the people in Xie's house.
Xie Ming, the housekeeper of Xie Mansion, couldn't help but lead the people out with an ugly face when he heard the crying and wailing outside. He wanted to see who dared to cause trouble in front of their Xie Mansion. Didn't he know that this was the current state of the dynasty?
Mr. Ge's mansion?
You must know that many officials came to the mansion today. If such a commotion alarmed those officials, wouldn't they lose the face of the Xie mansion and make people laugh at them.
As the chief steward of the Xie Mansion, Xie Ming was quite calm. When he walked out of the door, he saw a few guards standing with their swords put away.
When he saw that the leader was a member of the Jinyi Guard Baihu, Xie Ming frowned and stepped forward and said to Ma Ming: "I don't know why you committed an attack in front of my Xie Mansion, even if you are the Jinyiwei Baihu.
Husband, I have to give my Xie family an explanation today, otherwise, the lawsuit will be taken to the Jinyiwei Yamen and to His Majesty’s Imperial Palace..."
Seeing this, Xie Da, the bearer of the sedan chair, couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead. He quietly reached out and tugged at the corner of Xie Ming's clothes, as if he wanted to stop Xie Ming.
Apparently Xie Ming didn't even notice Li Huan and Chen Ke standing on the horse.
Ma Ming looked at Xie Ming with great interest, but he didn't want his attitude to make Xie Ming angry. He directly changed his face and said: "Don't you think that I, the Xie family, are easy to bully? Don't you know that my master has handed you a handwritten letter?"
Commander Shi Wenyi will be able to strip you of your official uniform that very day."
Ma Ming was even more disdainful when he heard this.
The sweat on Xie Da's forehead was getting more and more. He pulled hard, causing Xie Ming to stumble. Only then did Xie Ming notice that Xie Da had a panic look on his face and shook his head repeatedly at him.
Xie Ming suddenly slapped Xie Da on the face and cursed angrily: "You bastard, do you still have any rules?"
Xie Ping crawled over and hugged Xie Ming's legs while crying and shouting: "Housekeeper, you have to make the decision for the little ones!"
Xie Ming saw the miserable looks of Xie Ping and others, and looked at Ma Ming and others with increasingly unkind eyes. He was about to speak when he saw Xie Da, who had been slapped by him, hugged Xie Ming and shouted:
"You can't be a housekeeper, sir... sir, he has been dismissed from office!"
"Bastard thing..."
Xie Ming was suddenly hugged by Xie Da and cursed subconsciously. However, he soon opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Da Da in shock: "You...what did you say?"
Xie Da almost burst into tears and said: "Sir, he was dismissed from office by His Majesty and demoted to a common people. He is no longer the old man he is today!"
As he spoke, Xie Da pointed at the sedan and said, "I couldn't bear such a blow, so I fainted at that time. Butler, you'd better take a quick look at how I'm doing now."
After looking at the sedan and then at Xie Ming, Xie Ming swayed slightly and almost fell to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to lift the curtain of the sedan.
However, before Xie Ming's hand even touched the curtain, he was hit hard by the scabbard, causing the other party to let out a scream of pain.
Xie Ming subconsciously said: "Bold..."
However, Xie Ming quickly reacted and looked at Ma Ming, who was looking at him with a mocking expression. Xie Ming took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and bowed, "I don't know what this gentleman means. If my master is here,
In the sedan chair, please allow me to see how my master is doing!"
After saying that, Xie Ming added: "Even though my husband has resigned from office, he was once an elder in the court, and his disciples and former officials are all over the court and everywhere, so..."
Ma Ming glanced at Xie Ming and said with a bit of disdain: "Oh, are you threatening me?"
Xie Ming's eyes narrowed, and he tried to maintain his calmness and said: "It's not a threat, but I hope that you will not climb high and try to be low. After all, there is no guarantee that my master will be resurrected by the emperor again in a short time. By then, wouldn't you, sir?
…”
Ma Ming laughed heartily, but did not pay attention to the other party anymore. He sneered and said: "Let the person who can take charge of the Xie Mansion come. I will hand over a living Xie Qian to the people in the Xie Mansion. Don't let him go out by then."
What kind of accident happened? It all falls on our Jin Yiwei."
Xie Ming suppressed the anger in his heart and secretly thought that when his master recovers from his illness in the future, he must make sure that the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei in front of him looks good.
Glancing at Xie Ping who was holding him, Xie Ming said: "Xie Ping, what are you still doing? Go and ask the eldest son to come, and tell him to come and welcome the master back home!"
When Xie Ping heard this, he got up and ran into the house in a hurry.
The eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Bang was over forty years old. Under the influence of Xie Qian, although he did not have a high school Jinshi, he was still a successful candidate. In addition, the emperor favored Xie Qian's family, and Xie Bang even had a hereditary Jinyi guard for thousands of households.
's name.
However, Xie Bang's hereditary Jinyiwei Qianhu is obviously just a nice title. It is impossible to interfere with the actual power of Jinyiwei, but it is not a privilege.
Xie Qian had several sons, but only his eldest son, Xie Bang, was with him. On this day, Xie Bang was chatting with a group of officials in the living room.
Suddenly, I saw a servant with a bloody head and a bloody face running over and saying: "My eldest son, your eldest son, the master is back and I want you to greet him in person!"
Xie Bang, who was joking with the officials, was stunned for a moment, while the other officials also looked at the embarrassed Xie Ping, as if they disliked Xie Ping for being so ignorant of etiquette, and many of them showed disgust on their faces.
Xie Bang noticed this, his face turned cold immediately, and he shouted coldly at Xie Ping: "You bastards, is this how the housekeeper disciplines you on weekdays? You are so ignorant of etiquette, you really lose the face of my Xie family.
"
As he spoke, Xie Bang shouted: "Come here, drag him down with a forty stick. If he still has breath, drive him out of the house!"
Immediately, two strong servants came in and dragged Xie Ping out, who was wailing and begging.
After Xie Bang dealt with Xie Ping, he turned around and said to the officials with a smile on his face: "The servants in the house are not disciplined well, which makes you laugh."
All the officials laughed and said: "The eldest son manages the family well, and the elder has a son. How lucky, how lucky!"
Xie Bang said with a smile: "You guys are so ridiculous. My father has returned and Xie will go to greet him right now. You might as well wait a moment..."
After hearing this, all the officials stood up and said with a smile: "Since the elder has returned victorious, we will welcome him personally and congratulate you!"
"Yes, yes, let's go together, go together, congratulations to the boss!"
All the officials followed Xie Bang towards the door of the mansion.
Soon Xie Bang and his entourage left Xie's Mansion and saw a group of royal guards standing there. Several of their servants shrank down in embarrassment and hid far away, while their father's sedan chair was safely on the ground.
On the ground.
Seeing the sedan, Xie Bang didn't think much, he just walked forward with a smile on his face, bowed his hands to Ma Ming, and said gracefully: "Xie Bang is very polite, thank you for sending my father home."
, if you don’t mind it, you might as well come into the house and drink some tea..."
In the past, when the emperor favored Xie Qian, it was not as if he had not sent the royal guards to escort him back to his mansion. So when Xie Bang saw the royal guards there, he didn't think much about it. He thought it was his father who was returning from the victory after impeaching Li Huan. The emperor specially
Someone from Jinyiwei was sent to escort him.
Ma Ming couldn't help but glance at Xie Bang, and was about to speak. At this moment, among the officials who walked out with Xie Bang, someone glanced at him and happened to see Li Huan, Chen Ke and others beside him.
When he saw Li Huan and what he was wearing, the official was stunned for a moment, then stared at Li Huan with wide eyes, as if to confirm Li Huan's identity.
When he confirmed Li Huan's identity, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Li... Li Huan... you are Li Huan!"
