In March of Yangchun, Xia Xun sent a memorial stating that all affairs in Liaodong should be taken care of at the same time and that he was on the right track. His words revealed the intention of asking for a return. When Zhu Di issued an imperial edict, Xia Xun happily handed over all affairs in Liaodong to the third division. On his way back to Beijing.
The military and civilian officials of Liaodong naturally sent each other off grandly, and the main officials were sent to Shenyang Zhongwei before they said goodbye. Xia Xun, who was eager to return home, breathed a sigh of relief. If you don't accept favors, you are unkind, but the favor is too warm. At that time, it was really unbearable. In order to avoid going down this road, officials from various health stations, government offices and local gentry continued to greet them in a grand way. A lot less trouble.
After passing Shanhaiguan and arriving at the peaceful place inside the pass, Xia Xun left behind his large group of troops and led Lao Pang and dozens of other generals to the front, changing into the clothes of young masters and servants of wealthy families.
Xia Xun did not stay in Beijing, or even enter the city. He may not have no friends in Beijing, but the Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, is sitting in Beijing. The old guy now hates him to the core, although he does not dare to do anything to him. If the two of them meet, It is inevitable for people to fight each other, fight with each other, and fight openly and secretly. Once a dispute occurs, it will inevitably embarrass those who are friendly to them.
If you don't help, you're not a friend enough, but if you help, Xia Xun will slap his ass and leave. Those people will still hang out in Beijing, with a great god like Qiu Fu controlling them. Wouldn't life be sad? Besides, Xia Xun is eager to return to Jinling and has no intention of doing so. Stay in Beijing, eat and drink with people, and travel around.
After passing Beijing, passing through Liangxiang, we arrived at Zhuozhou on the same day.
People often say that fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March, and Xia Xun did not pass through Yangzhou on his way there. However, there is Yangzhou in the south and Zhuozhou in the north. This historical city is also very famous in the northern boundary.
Xia Xun felt a little tired after running all the way on the saddle. Seeing that the guards were also tired, he wanted to rest for a day in Zhuozhou, where both people and horses could rest. This day could also be a day for everyone to walk around slowly. Physical spirit.
Xia Xun gave an order to go down, and the guards immediately cheered. Those who liked gambling planned to find a gambling house first when they entered the city to satisfy their addiction. Those who liked wine thought about finding a restaurant to meet the three of them. Five friends, cut up ten kilograms of good-quality donkey meat, have a hearty meal, and have a good time.
Lao Xiang didn't have four ounces of meat on his body, and his buttocks and balls felt numb after being bumped for a long time. He was currently squatting on the saddle, looking around like an ape, thinking that after entering Zhuozhou City, he would first find a fan to live happily. Have...an addiction.
The originally majestic group of men suddenly changed their minds and looked slack. In fact, these people were originally like this. They lived their whole lives and eventually wanted something. Their hobbies and pursuits were nothing more than this. They were surrounded by wine, sex and wealth. , there are so many sages in the center, are they supposed to be cold-blooded iron guards at all times, in front of and behind everyone? They are not the Terminator T800 played by Arnold, but people of flesh and blood, and naturally have their own lives.
Xia Xun saw the appearance of his personal guards and just shook his head and smiled, not paying much attention. At this moment, a clang of swords and guns suddenly came from the wind. Although the sound was faint, Lao Xun immediately became alert when he heard it. Immediately, a whistle was blown, and the guards were well-trained and immediately guarded Xia Xun in the center, all holding their swords tight.
At this moment, it was obvious that they were well-trained. Originally, these people were just moving forward and backward, following Xia Xun in a loose formation. Suddenly, they listened to the warning and immediately approached with their horses, guarding Xia Xun in the center to avoid
The cold arrows and hidden weapons were fired, and all the preparations for the leaping horse attack were completed at the same time. Such equestrian skills and agility were something that not even a first-rate guard could not achieve.
Xia Xun did not panic, but said to the guards: "Don't panic, this is not outside the customs. It is not easy to find a group of horse bandits on this customs clearance road. Old man, go and see what happens!"
"Okay!"
The old man parted his legs and sat firmly on the horse. He held his legs together and shouted. The old man under his crotch hissed and ran out. Xia Xun did not stop where he was.
He got off and ordered: "Go forward slowly!"
There are many willow trees planted on both sides of the road, and the catkins are fluttering in the wind, like snow in the returning wind, which is extremely misty.
But this scene is just beautiful to look at. The catkins fall on the face and neck, making it feel itchy and sticky. It is not easy to brush them off when it falls on the body. It is very annoying. But at this time, no one of the guards is distracted to pay attention to the catkins.
, everyone was vigilantly scanning the trees, behind the trees, on the grass and in front of them, to be on guard against sudden assassinations.
Not far away, when they turned a slope, Xia Xun saw Lao Fan squatting on the horse again as he habitually did, curling up and looking like he was concentrating. Xia Xun frowned and was about to call him,
Seeing the situation in front of him, Xia Xun couldn't help but froze.
There was a fight going on on the road, and they were fighting to the death, with blood splattering everywhere.
The two sides fighting...
It's no wonder that Lao Fan squatted on his horse and was stunned. Even the well-informed Xia Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
The two sides in this fierce battle, the one with the largest number, are all dressed as men from the six doors, wearing green and black round-neck official uniforms, wingless black gauze hats, white-soled black satin soap boots, carrying chains and other restraints, dancing
Wearing a single sword and an iron ruler, they were shouting and shouting. And those who were fighting with them were two Jinyi guards wearing hairpin hats, flying fish robes, and dancing embroidered spring knives!
No wonder Xia Xun was startled when he saw it. They were all eating from the government, but they were actually fighting each other here. Such a scene was unheard of. Seeing them fighting was worse than seeing a naked girl suddenly running here naked.
It was surprising. There were still *** people lying on the ground. Xia Xun took a quick glance and saw that three of them were also wearing flying fish robes. The others were patrol officers and some of them were struggling.
, and some others were lying there motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Just now Lao Pang appeared alone, and no one paid attention to the fighting parties. Now that Xia Xun appeared with dozens of strong men wearing weapons, the men became a little uneasy. One of the men immediately left the battlefield and quickly
He walked up to them, flashed his police badge to them, and said loudly: "The government takes people, but the idlers stay away!"
Xia Xun's cheeks twitched, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me, sir, who are you holding...who is this?"
"Ouch!"
Someone from behind let out a scream, was stabbed in the shoulder, and retreated bloody. The policeman who flashed his badge turned his head and immediately shouted: "Sir, don't panic, I'm coming!"
With a flash of the sword in his hand, he rushed into the battle group again. Only then did Xia Xun notice that among the men who rounded up the Jinyiwei, one of them was actually wearing an official robe, because his official robe was cyan and his official hat was also worn.
He was knocked away, so Xia Xun didn't notice it just now. Looking at the color of his robe, it was indeed different from the others.
It's just that his back is turned to him now, so he can't see the patchwork pattern on his chest, his sleeves are rolled up, and the robe's train is tucked into his waist. He can't see clearly the color of the pattern on the cuffs or robe's train. Based on the color of the official uniform, he can only guess that it should be five.
An official of the seventh rank. To lead people to catch thieves near Zhuozhou City, he should be a seventh-rank official.
Thinking of the word "catching a thief", Xia Xun felt strange. When did Jin Yiwei become a thief?
The old man turned around and asked, "Sir, do we want to help?"
Xia Xun said: "Which one are you helping?"
I was stunned for a moment and looked back, not knowing what to do.
Xia Xun sighed and said: "Make your identity clear, stop both parties from acting foolishly, and then ask for the reason behind it!"
Just as Xia Xun gave the order, another scream came from the front. There were only two Jinyi Guards left, but they were a little weak under the siege of everyone. One of them had just wounded a man with a knife, and he was also beaten by another policeman with an iron chain.
He was hit in the head, blood flowed, his eyes were blurred, and his vision was unclear. At this time, he was stabbed by a policeman again, and he fell to the ground. The remaining policemen surrounded him with a single sword, an iron ruler, and a chain.
Rings surrounded the remaining royal guards in the center.
"Wait a minute!"
When Xia Xun saw that the winner was decided, his heart moved and he immediately stopped drinking.
At this time, the Jin Yiwei had been restrained by the public. He stood in the middle and looked around. Then he threw his embroidered spring knife on the ground with a slap in the face, and it buried half a foot into the ground with a "thud". He said resentfully: "Xiao Zujie! Hello!
Like this! Either you kill me now, or else, as long as I, Yin Shenghui, am still alive, I will definitely avenge you!"
The official whom he called Xiao Zujie laughed loudly and said: "Yin Shenghui, you don't need to provoke me! If you hadn't resisted the arrest, I wouldn't have fought with you. Now that you are arresting me, I will have the country's laws to rule you."
How could he use lynching indiscriminately? Come here, tie him up, take him to Zhuozhou Mansion, and put him in jail!"
All the officials rushed forward and tied up Yin Shenghui. They were annoyed that he had hurt many of his brothers, so they naturally took the opportunity to punch and kick him while they were being tied up. Yin Shenghui took it hard, with a sneer on his face and said nothing.
He just stared at Xiao Zujie with a look of resentment.
Xia Xun is most familiar with the official uniforms of Jinyiwei. Look at this Yin Shenghui, wearing a fragrant horse and linen single robe with a right lapel collar, wide sleeves and waist, wide hem, pleats at the waist, white silk brocade,
, the chest and back are colorfully woven with sea waves and flying fish on the river cliffs, and the shoulder sleeves are colorfully woven with flowing clouds and flying fish at the knees. The collar, dark pattern, belt, jade hook, colorful skirt and the finless headband
Wu Mao could not help but be secretly surprised when he recognized it from the details: "This Yin Shenghui is actually a Qianhu of the fifth rank! Then who is this Xiao Zujie?"
Xiao Zujie put down the robe tucked at his waist, and then turned around and glanced at Xia Xun and the others. This man had just wielded a sword to fight as fiercely as a tiger, but now he looked very quiet, with a thin body, slightly dark skin, and a relatively dark forehead.
He is tall, with his towering head and horns vaguely exposed, and his cheekbones are relatively high, so that his facial lines are relatively strong. Although his facial features are slightly flat, his eyes are extremely sharp. With just a glance, he can make people look at him.
A feeling that goes into my heart.
It is common for wealthy families in the North to go out for spring outings or hunting, wearing bright clothes, angry horses, and thousands of servants. It is also normal to carry swords with them. As long as they do not carry prohibited items such as bows, arrows and spears, it is not illegal, so Xiao Zujie
He only glanced at them and stopped looking. He only ordered his subordinates: "These Jin Yiwei are corrupt, perverting the law, and committing many crimes. They are all imprisoned in Zhuozhou Prison. I will impeach them to the court and punish them with death!"
As Xiao Zujie spoke, he picked up his official hat from the ground, dusted it off, and put it on his head properly.
Walking away, doubts suddenly arose in my mind: "Is this a person from Yujue or a person from Ji Gang? What crime has he committed?"
The old man asked for instructions: "My lord, what should we do?"
Xia Xun said calmly: "Follow me from a distance. When we get to Zhuozhou City, we will have a closer look!"
