Xu Zengshou drank too much last night and had a good sleep all night. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
At the gate of Xu Mansion, several servants had cleaned up and down the steps early in the morning. Seeing that the sun was getting a little warmer, they hurriedly fetched water from the well and poured it on the ground. They used brooms to wash the stone steps. Suddenly, a group of gilded captains looked like wolves.
When a servant rushed in like a tiger, a servant saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop him, shouting: "Hey, hey, hey, stop! Where are you going? This is the Palace of the Prince of Zhongshan!"
"We are here to fetch someone from the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion according to the Holy Order!"
The captain in Jinyi showed his palace waist badge, raised his legs and rushed in. The people from Xu Mansion still wanted to stop them, but they heard someone say in a deep voice: "Let them in!"
When the Xu family raised their heads, they saw their own master, who had gone to court early in the morning, dismounting from his horse with a sinking face.
The servants were at a loss and quickly got out of the way, and the group of Jinyi captains broke into the Xu Mansion.
After a while, Xu Zengshou, who was still smelling of alcohol, was tied up in a moon-white coat. Xu Zengshou was as angry as a tiger and roared loudly: "You bastards, you are so brave. How dare you catch me and let me go?"
Open! Ding Laosi, Xu Laoshi, pick up the sticks and drive these sons of bitches away!"
Under his pull, the few captains in Jinyi who were holding the rope staggered and could not stand upright. Xu Laohu was showing off his power when he suddenly heard a deep shout: "Young man, you still dare to be so presumptuous!"
Xu Zengshou looked up and saw his elder brother standing in front of him. He couldn't help but said in shock: "Brother, haven't you gone to court yet? What... is going on?"
"What's going on!"
Xu Huizu raised a piece of crumpled letter paper in front of him and asked sharply: "What is this?"
"this?"
Xu Zengshou took a closer look and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He was so drunk that he woke up with a fright. He stammered: "Brother, I...I..."
Xu Huizu slapped him across the face, and shouted with a livid face: "What a good thing you did! My Xu family is full of loyal people, and now our reputation has been lost in your hands. Do you know what crime you have committed? You must let me
Can the Xu family bear the grave crime of killing the nine clans?"
He brushed the piece of paper away and shouted: "Take it away!"
Several guards in royal robes picked up Xu Zengshou and left. Xu Zengshou was scolded by his elder brother so much that he became dazed and stopped resisting. He was pulled and dragged into a cart. The groom in front whipped his whip and the carriage sped away.
At this time, Xu Zengshou's wife, concubine, and several children ran out in a panic. When they saw Xu Zengshou being pulled into a carriage and driving away, Mrs. Xu knelt down in front of Xu Huizu with tears streaming down her face.
He begged: "Uncle, uncle, what crime did Zeng Shou commit? Uncle is the head of the Xu family. If Zeng Shou has any fault, can't you just ask the family to give him a beating? Why do you need to be an official?
…”
"A woman's view!"
As soon as Xu Huizu flicked his sleeves, he was about to saddle up his horse. Although the concubines and Xu Zengshou's children didn't know what happened, they knelt down in front of Xu Huizu and begged repeatedly. Xu Huizu said calmly: "It's too late.
I have reported it to the Emperor! How to deal with it, we can only obey His Majesty’s decree!”
Mrs. Xu Er cried and asked: "Uncle, what crime did Zeng Shou commit?"
Xu Huizu didn't answer, so he saddled his horse, raised his whip, and chased the captains in golden uniforms.

In the Zhengxin Hall, Zhu Yunwen, who had just finished his morning court, glared angrily at Xu Zengshou who was kneeling in front of him.
Before the morning court had even begun, Xu Huizu came to plead guilty to him and explained his third brother's collaboration with the enemy. Zhu Yunwen was furious and immediately asked several Jinyi captains to follow him back to fetch people. During the entire morning court, Zhu Yunwen's face was not good-looking.
All the civil and military officials saw it, but they didn't dare to ask. When the morning was over, according to custom, he should go to the side hall to eat some food, and then go to the Zhengxin Hall to review the memorials, but Zhu Yunwen was no longer in the mood to deal with official matters, let alone
After dinner, he went directly to the Zhengxin Hall and waited there angrily. When Xu Huizu brought his younger brother, Zhu Yunwen finally burst out of his anger that he had been holding back for a long time.
"Okay! Okay, it turns out that I have such a big eye and eye as King Yan hidden by my side. No wonder my imperial army has been defeated in many battles. It turns out that you are the one who informed King Yan!"
Zhu Yunwen waved the official letter he found from Xu Zengshou's arms, and said with a ferocious smile: "Thirds of our soldiers and horses in the capital camp have been wiped out, and Yingtian Mansion is solid outside but empty inside, eh? You are sending this letter to
Let Yan Ni lead his troops into Jinling City and take my head! Huh? If Huizu hadn’t been so loyal, I would have been buried in your hands!"
Just as he was talking, a group of female eunuchs came. They were waiting in the side hall to serve the emperor for dinner. After waiting for a long time, the emperor did not show up. They thought that the morning session had been postponed. After asking again, they found out that the emperor was directly waiting for him.
When they arrived at the Zhengxin Hall, a group of palace maids and young eunuchs quickly picked up plates and bowls and brought the meals to the Zhengxin Hall.
The eunuch in charge walked ahead and didn't pay attention to the situation in the palace. After entering the door, he bent down and saluted the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to the dragon body when you are busy with state affairs. It's time for you to have a meal..."
"Get out!"
Zhu Yunwen roared, grabbed a tea cup and threw it at it. The eunuch in charge was frightened, and the eunuchs and maids who followed him with plates and bowls all knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me..."
"Get out, get out!"
Seeing this, Mu En, who was guarding the emperor's case and did not dare to show his anger, quickly ran over and shouted: "Go, go, don't make the emperor unhappy, pick up the broken tea cups as well."
Mu En helped pick up the tea cup that was broken into several pieces and drove them out. Seeing the emperor Long Yan, these people were so angry that they were so frightened that they fled away as if there was a tiger following behind them. Mu En followed.
Later, after leaving the Zhengxin Hall, he put the broken teacup pieces into the hands of a little palace maid, gently squeezed her palm, and said a few words quickly. The little palace maid looked at him in surprise, Mu En was busy
He waved his hand and said: "Go, go, if you don't leave quickly, you will live or die!"
The little palace maid then realized what she was doing and hurriedly chased the people in the imperial kitchen and left.
Mu En stared deeply at the back of the little palace maid named Dai Yixuan, turned around and walked back. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Zhu Yun yelling from inside: "You still dare to talk back? Someone, please pull him out.
, Mingzheng canon punishment!"
"Your Majesty can't kill me, my Xu family has the iron certificate of alchemy book!"
"Alchemy and iron coupons will not protect those who rebel!"
"Rebellion? The emperor only knows how to blame others, but never thinks about his own faults? The emperor killed the kings without any guilt before his body was cold. May I ask, your Majesty, where is the benevolence? The emperor worked hard for thirty years, but it took only three years for the emperor to rule the world.
At this stage, may I ask Your Majesty, where is Xian? He is so good, who would rebel..."
"You deserve to die!"
Zhu Yunwen became angry because of embarrassment. This scream was thin and sharp, even shriller than the eunuch's voice. It stung Mu En's eardrums and made him shiver involuntarily. At this moment, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, Mu En
Turning around, he saw Luo Kedi, commanded by the Imperial Guards, rushing towards the Zhengxin Hall...

Ji Gang came out of the rented house, glanced around, and walked lazily along the Qinhuai River.
Across the river is the brothel district. This area is where the young people who came to Beijing to take the exams rented their homes. It is equivalent to the shanty towns of later generations. The houses are small, crowded and narrow, and they are really small houses, but the price is cheaper. So.
In this connected shanty town, not only poor scholars who come to Beijing to take exams are willing to rent in order to save money, but also many small traders who come to Beijing to do business are also willing to live here.
Many people also made their own fires to cook, and they did not have a unified time to get up. As a result, there was smoke from chimneys in the houses at all times. The chimneys were built low, and the smoke lingered in this shanty town.
In these simple shantytowns, the biggest headache for the government is the problem of fires. As for public security, no one can be killed in a fight, and pickpockets cannot exceed a hundred coins. There are only a few things that can be done here, and the inspection gentlemen have long since given up on management.
Ji Gang already knew who the big shot Xia Xun was talking about. Duke Cao Guogong of the Ming Dynasty once led an army of 800,000 people to challenge the rebel marshal seal and fight against the King of Yan. Now Li Jinglong, the leader of the peace faction in the imperial court, was actually installed by them.
If he had not heard Xia Xun talk about it with his own ears, how could he dare to believe it if he was the heart of the imperial court.
However, another line made him even more curious. He still didn't know who the person was in that line. Xia Xun just told him that he had to walk in the alley of Ruishui Alley every day.
At the end of the gable wall of the built house, there is a red brick among the pile of stones. The third stone under the brick is movable. I go there every day to take a look at the stone and take out anything.
Ji Gang is also a very careful person. In order to avoid attracting attention during his daily "fixed patrols", he chose to live in this shanty town after some inspection because the alley was a slum area and was connected to this shanty town.
It seemed more natural to walk around. He checked again and found that there was a snack bar at the end of the rocky alley, specializing in duck blood vermicelli soup and scallion pancakes.
Therefore, Ji Gang, who originally only loved eating pancakes rolled with green onions, suddenly became an avid fan of duck noodle soup. Rain or shine, he walked out of his small home every noon, walked through the stone alley, and went to the small shop on the street.
After drinking two bowls of duck blood soup and eating six scallion pancakes, Ji Gang was a real pot-bellied man. On the way back, he naturally turned to the gable of the house for convenience.
It's just urination, don't say anything that is degrading to politeness. There are many examples of urination and even major urination anywhere. Don't think that by putting on a Confucian shirt, you will suddenly be elevated to the level of a saint who even eats, drinks, and poops differently from ordinary people.
Every year at the end of the Spring and Autumn Periods, hygiene and decency issues such as the release of rice field republicans molesting young girls and young wives have been a major headache for various imperial courts since ancient times.
Today was just like every other day. When Ji Gang passed by the house on the mountain top of the house, he waddled over without even looking at it. He crossed the alley and sat down in the shed of the snack bar. Without him having to say anything, the boss quickly served six
A big cake was spread out and two bowls of duck blood soup were brought over. After Ji Gang finished his meal and paid, he staggered back and walked back. When he passed the top of the house's house, he naturally turned inward.
If it was intentional that he was here for convenience at first, now it is a conditioned reflex. He lifted up his robe, untied his trousers, and after draining the water, he bent down to tie his trousers. Taking advantage of this time, he took out the stone and reached for it.
He looked inside with ease. He thought it was the same as usual and there was nothing inside, but this time, his fingers came across a piece of paper folded in a square shape.
Ji Gang was slightly startled, then calmly flicked the note into his sleeve, stuffed it back into the stone, and then left in a swaggering manner.
p: Jingnan, Jingnan, the last moment is coming, the Jingnan is over, the days when Eunuch Xia will be so majestic are coming. Whatever lofty ideals you have, you can also show your lifelong ambitions. The dark moment before dawn is coming,
Winter is here, can spring be far behind^_^
