Seeing Yuan Yong sneer and say nothing, he guessed that there must be something hidden. Yuan Yue immediately stopped asking and just encouraged him to drink with a smile.
As soon as he picked up the silver cup, a Taoist priest came and said that he was waiting for Gang to see him, saying that he wanted to see King Yingchuan.
"Hou Gang?"
Yuan Yue raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the middle of the sky, and said suspiciously, "He is not staying with His Majesty as a guard, so why is he running outside the palace to look for the emperor's uncle at this time? If he is delivering the edict under His Majesty's order, then it should be
Is it better for Huangmen to give trouble?"
"What kind of guard do you still want to stay in? It's gone long ago..."
Yuan Yong sneered and whispered, "Hou Gang was really crazy. He took advantage of the Queen's assassination to take revenge on Li Chengzhi and shot him to death in Zhaoyang Palace... If Gu and Yu Zhong hadn't used their strength, he would have been killed.
Even if he is not beheaded by His Majesty, he will at least be exiled for thousands of miles. How can he still hold an official position?"
These days, Yuanyue is only focused on making money, and really doesn’t pay much attention to it. She can’t help but wonder: “Hou Gang took revenge on Li Chengzhi, these two shouldn’t get along with each other?”
Yuan Yong sneered and said: "Who said they are not compatible? Have you forgotten the Gao family and the Hu family?"
After a little reminder, Yuan Yue suddenly realized: If you talk like this, you are really an enemy.
Hou Gang had a grudge against Gao Zhao and was related by marriage to Hu Chonghua: Hou Gang's eldest son married the legitimate daughter of Prince Yuanji of Jiangyang, and Hu Chonghua's sister was the first wife of Prince Yuan Yi of Jiangyang. p>
Therefore, whether judging from Gao Zhao or Hu Chonghua, Hou Gang and Li Chengzhi are completely mortal enemies...
"Is Li Chengzhi easy to treat?" Yuan Yue was so happy about his misfortune, "I can't bear this tone..."
"It's not just unbearable, it's simply retribution!"
Yuan Yong said quietly, "Because of Hou Gang's friendship with the Hu family, Li Chengzhi was almost falsely accused of being an 'assassin associate'. If not for His Majesty's wisdom, how could Hou Gang's life be alive?
Now that he has a sixth-grade Yeting supervisor (who belongs to the imperial army and is in charge of the guards at the palace gate), he can be regarded as the ancestral tomb of his Hou Gu family (one of the Xianbei surnames) is smoking..."
Hou Gang seemed to have only been downgraded from the fourth grade to the sixth grade, only three levels. But the former was a Zhonglang general, commanding swords and swords, and also tasted the food code, and was the emperor's confidant. But now, he can only watch.
The city gate...the gap is so huge!
"Hou Gang deserves it... I don't see that when Li Chengzhi first entered the capital, he had no official rank and no rank. Even knowing that he was a prince and now his brother, he dared to threaten to knock out all my teeth, let alone Hou Gang.
?"
Yuan Yue rejoiced over the misfortune and said, "Nine times out of ten, Li Chengzhi will not give up. Uncle Emperor, just wait, there will definitely be something good to watch..."
"Who says it's not?"
Yuan Yong sighed quietly, "According to common sense, if one is a humble minister and the other is His Majesty's confidant, no one should swallow his anger. But if it were Li Chengzhi, how could it be the other way around?"
"Extraordinary people will do extraordinary things. Let's see how many troubles he caused in just a few days after he came to Beijing? Let's see..."
Yuan Yue smiled so obscenely, and raised her hand again, pointing at the Taoist priest guarding the door: "Please!"
As the words fell, Hou Gang was let in. He was wearing armor and looked like he was not yet on duty.
"I have met your two highnesses!"
After seeing the ceremony respectfully, Hou Gang bowed deeply to Yuan Yong again: "While I was on duty in the city, Your Highness Wu Jian came to Wuji Temple, so I took the liberty to come here. This time, I came to express my gratitude to His Highness: <
/p>
If it hadn't been for His Highness's rescue, Hou would still be in prison now. I was extremely grateful, but felt that I couldn't repay His kindness. I thought about it for a long time and searched for several days, but fortunately I found the two beauties in the music market. These two women are both stunningly beautiful, good at music, and good at southern dance, so I want to prepare some wine in the southern city, and I would like to invite your highness to come..."
Yuan Yong was one of the richest people in the world. If you talk about other things, I'm afraid even half an eye would look down on them. But he is fond of musicians and dancers. When he heard them again, they were still stunning, and he immediately became interested.
"When?"
"I will obey His Majesty's wishes!"
In response, Hou Gang bowed to Yuan Yue again: "I wonder if Hou is lucky enough. Can you invite His Highness the King of Ruyang to come and enjoy the honor?"
"What's so good about a group of women?"
Yuan Yue curled her lips with disdain on her face, "Based on your taste, Hou Qianzhi, the person you are accompanying is not a concubine, but nine out of ten, she is also a rough and tumble person. If there is... well, there is someone of this generation who is pretty and handsome."
"Wonderful man, even if you don't invite me, I still have to go..."
Yuan Yue was originally talking about Li Chengzhi, but when the words came to her mouth, she realized something was wrong and changed her words suddenly.
Hou Gang looked a little embarrassed, and Yuan Yong was even more speechless. Both of them felt a little weird in their hearts.
It’s really not Yuan Yue’s boast. When it comes to appearance, there are people in Beijing who can surpass him, not many who think about it.
But how come a man who is as good as jade prefers to be a troublemaker instead of following the right path?
That's fine, after all, masculinity is prevalent nowadays, and it's not strange for one or two to happen to the royal family occasionally. But it's really puzzling that you are willing to be disturbed...
After chatting for a while and drinking a glass of ice wine, Hou Gang was about to leave. Just as he stood up, he saw another Taoist priest leading an armored general through the door.
If it were normal, he wouldn't have let him in without even obeying. The key point is that the military general holds the imperial talisman, how can the Taoist priest dare to stop him?
This general must have been looking for Gang. In all likelihood, something happened in the palace, so he was so anxious. That’s why even Yuan Yong and Yuan Yue’s expressions changed slightly.
Hou Gang said solemnly: "What's the matter?"
"General Bing, four carts came down from Chengming Gate. They claimed to be from Guanzhong and wanted to go to the inner city to find relatives. They specified that they were going to the house of Uncle Zang Li Xin.
The driver was driven by two horses, but it was very difficult to move forward. When the road was soft, the carriage was deeply buried in the ground... There were more than thirty attendants accompanying him, all riding tall horses and wearing four-foot-waist swords.
He was tall and strong, with a fierce look, and seemed to be a soldier in the army. But after checking his origin, there was nothing unusual... Shuoping Sima (city gate officer) did not dare to specialize, so he ordered him to come down to find the general..."< /p>
Before Hou Gang could do anything, Yuan Yong was startled: Listening to the general's subconscious intention, it seems that there are iron weapons and armor hidden on the four-wheel drive?
"Business matters are important, Zi Qian quickly handles it..."
"Then I'll resign first!"
After making a bow, Hou Gang left with the army full of suspicion.
Yuan Yue, however, had a weird look on his face, and asked abruptly: "How could four chariots of soldiers be transported to the inner city in broad daylight in the capital city? The gate guards of the outer city and Guocheng were all asleep?"< /p>
Yuan Yong hesitated for a moment: Right?
The police in the capital are extremely strict. If you want to enter the inner city, you must first pass through the two gates of the outer city and the inner city before you can get to the inner city gate.
Regardless of which route, not only are there Jinwu inspectors to verify registration, Luoyang soldiers collect taxes, but also the city gate guards search. If there are prohibited items, they have already been taken down with people and belongings. How can they be released to the inner city gate unimpeded? Next?
Yuan Yong's face turned red: "You didn't check for a while, but you were led into the ditch by Qiu Ba?"
It's just your preconception and misunderstanding...
Yuan Yue rolled her eyes: "As a guard, it doesn't matter whether the horse you drive is big or not, or whether the cart is deep in the soil, I will check it first. If you dare to obstruct it, you will be treated as a traitor... Not to mention Li Xin's Relatives, even my uncle Zang, wouldn’t dare to refuse inspection if he came in person, and what’s more, the general’s words were so vague?”
After a pause, Yuan Yue smiled sinisterly: "There must be something fishy. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Why don't the emperor go and take a look?"
One look at Yuan Yue's appearance, and it was clear that he was not thinking about the good things. Yuan Yong scolded: "Are you really idle?"
Although he said this, his body was very sincere and he stood up immediately: "If you want to leave, just leave!"
Actually want to watch the lively driving scene?
Although Yuan Yue didn't say it outright, his subconscious thoughts were clear: Could it be that the city gate guard discovered something good and asked Hou to sort out the dirt?
If it is difficult to pull two carriages and the ground is deep, it is not necessarily a soldier. Besides, soldiers and armor cannot be transported in.
Then all that is left is wealth...
If the general had not lied, then nine out of ten the carriage should be made of copper. The two big horses were struggling to pull it, so it should have weighed four to five thousand catties.
Four cars, how much should it be?
This thing is really a rarity. Even in the capital, which is the most beautiful place, there are very few people who can spend tens of thousands at once, which is why these two are so curious.
Could it be that Li Xin was corrupt when he was in Guanzhong?
If it is true, then there will be a good show... If it is not more than two or three, it will be a shame for Hou Gang's reputation for greed and violence...
Afraid of missing it, the two of them did not bring many guards, only seven or eight, all wearing casual clothes, to protect Yuan Yong and Yuan Yue when they left Wuji Temple.
It's not far, just across the royal road, you can just walk through it.
As soon as I came out of Wuji Temple, I heard a sound of shouting and cursing, and saw nearly a hundred guards from a distance surrounding several carriages, as if they were ready to shoot.
Taking a closer look, I saw that a car had overturned, and several large boxes fell in the road. Two of them had been broken open, and they were lined with soft materials such as kapok, straw, and linen.
The things lined with soft objects seemed to be stones. But they looked extremely brittle, and nine out of ten pieces had been shattered into a handful of gravel.
Not copper, but stone?
What kind of stone is so precious and so brittle that it breaks when touched?
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and moved closer.
In addition to a few cars, there were more than thirty big men surrounded by the guards. As the general said, they were all tiger-backed and had a tough look on their faces.
The guards all drew their bows, with hundreds of arrows pointing at them, but there was no trace of panic on the faces of these men. Instead, they stared at them with eager eyes, and many of them actually put their hands on the hilts of their swords, as if to counterattack?<
/p>
Yuan Yong's face changed slightly: Where did this group of stupid young people come from? I wonder if this is the capital?
But if you dare to unsheath your sword, are you afraid that you will be shot into a sieve on the spot?
While he was doubting, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Idiot, do you even want to die?"
Like a phoenix crowing and a crane chirping, the sound was so loud that even ten steps away, Yuanyong Yuanyue was shocked and his eardrums itched.
Woman?
After taking a closer look, I saw that they were indeed women, and there were two of them.
Just with this drink, those big men put down their hands and their fingers left the handle of the knife.
It turns out that the guards surrounding the big man, and the two women protected by the big man, are the leaders of this group of warriors?
Both women are wearing veils, and I don’t know what they look like. But looking at their figures, they are exquisite and exquisite.
The strange thing is that they also have the same long sword on their waist as the group of big men who protect them.
For some reason, Yuan Yue always felt that this knife looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere?
But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't recall it, so Yuan Yue simply gave up.
Just as I was curious, I heard the woman who was shouting fiercely before pushed aside the guard, faced Yingying Yifu at the forbidden army, and said loudly: "I've checked, I've checked, and I haven't found any forbidden items. I don't know,
Why didn't the general let us go? Instead, he held us captive?"
"No forbidden items?"
A sharp laugh burst out from the Forbidden Army, "That woman, let me ask you, what is hidden in the car you are riding in?"
Guo Yuzhi's pupils shrank suddenly.
How could she still not know at this point that this group of forbidden soldiers were actually greedy?
This is the capital, the most beautiful place, and it is simply the worst in the world?
She just endured her anger, holding on to her last glimmer of hope, and said in a deep voice: "Why hide it? The driver of the car has been impounded by the general, just look at it: it is undoubtedly real gold. And I have made it clear to the general: these two thousand gold pieces,
If you want to buy a house for my son's marriage, it is not my uncle's property. If the general doesn't believe it, you can ask my uncle to come, and then the truth will be revealed...
Please don’t make a mistake, general, and return the property to us as soon as possible. Otherwise, if a piece of ingot is missing, even if it is reported to the emperor, I will definitely seek justice..."
Yuan Yong took a sharp breath: Real gold, and two thousand gold?
Money and silk touch people's hearts, no wonder Yuan Yi dared to have evil thoughts?
Not to mention 10% or 20%, even a hundred or ten kilograms is enough to provide Yuan Yi with a salary for several years...
"This woman looks like she's only in her teens, but her son is about to get married. Isn't she just kidding?"
Yuan Yue exclaimed in surprise, and then said, "I just mentioned Yuan Yi to the emperor's uncle, and in the blink of an eye I saw him? Remember, he is also a guard in the palace, how come he is guarding the city gate?"
"I was promoted after the Chinese New Year, and now I am Shuoping Sima!"
After replying, Yuan Yong sighed again, "No wonder he called Hou Gang, so he really wanted to divide the spoils?"
How can ordinary people enter Beijing with such huge wealth?
Even Yuan Yong thought that this should be the result of uncle Zang's bribery. Yuan Yi saw the plan, how could he not be greedy? He thought whether Li Xin dared to come and ask for it, it was still a matter of two choices...
A hint of violence suddenly appeared on Yuan Yi's face: Complaint?
You must also be able to meet the emperor...
"Capture... but if there is resistance, kill on the spot!"
Yuan Yi gave a sharp shout and actually raised the bow himself.
What is the difference between this and open grabbing?
The expressions of more than thirty servants all changed.
In broad daylight, in the most beautiful place in the capital, such an unbelievable thing happened?
The situation is like this under the imperial city. If you are sent to prison, you are afraid that you will be beaten to death?
Besides, there are also Madam and Madam Zhang... Not to mention an accident, if you go to jail, there will definitely be rumors. How will they explain to your husband?
Everyone stared closely at Guo Yuzhi and Li Liang beside her, just waiting for an order.
Guo Yuzhi's mouth was full of silver teeth and he was almost biting it into pieces: This is the capital city, how can it be like this?
No wonder both Li Huaide and the rebellious son are bent on rebellion?
"Don't act rashly!"
Guo Yuzhi shouted in a low voice, "Didn't that traitor say in the letter that he and Gao Sikong's son are already quite familiar with each other, and they must be somewhat dependent on each other... Li Da, find a way to send a message to him..."<
/p>
"Yes!"
Li Liang responded in a low voice, stretched out his hand, and took the copper whistle into his mouth. First he heard a sharp "whoosh" sound, and then it sounded like a lark, melodious and melodious, which was very beautiful.
Whistle?
Li Chengzhi’s sentry order?
Yuan Yue's expression suddenly changed.
He finally remembered: It was with that kind of knife that Li Chengzhi knocked out his two back molars...
