Song Mingyue

Chapter 218 (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Following the leadership of Fang Baihua, Wu Song and others, Du Gongcai, Yang Yu and others entered the lobby on the third floor first, and Zhao Hao and Xu Churen also warmly greeted them.

Du Gong just saw Zhao Hao greet him, but he didn't dare to mess up the etiquette, he hastily bowed forward: "My lord imperial envoy!"

Zhao Hao stepped forward and helped Du Gongcai up: "Master Du, don't be too polite!"

Du Gongcai laughed again and said: "Congratulations to the imperial envoy, as soon as the imperial envoy came to the two roads in the west of Beijing, the catastrophe was easily solved. It is really the reborn parents of millions of people in the west of Beijing!"

"Haha, Master Du is ridiculous..." Zhao Hao laughed, then lowered his voice and said, "Today is a good day."

Du Gong was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Sure enough, it's a good day!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, each with its own meaning, and the various officials in front of and behind it, as well as Jin Yiwei and others, each had a different meaning.

Behind Du Gongcai, a pair of eyes were staring at Zhao Hao viciously, like a beast waiting for an opportunity, with murderous intent.The so-called enmity is extremely jealous, Cheng Jun can't wait to swallow Zhao Hao alive immediately.

Du Gongcai walked side by side with Zhao Hao, but his mouse eyes kept looking around.Even though he had made all kinds of thorough arrangements, he was still uneasy, because his intuition told him that this little imperial envoy was not so easy to deal with.Fortunately, there were several guards behind him, all of whom were hard-pointed ideas among the Xiang army, which made him feel at ease.

The Jingxi officials behind him also had different expressions, the more cautious ones looked around like Du Gongcai, the timid ones seemed ready to run for their lives at any time, and some even had slightly dizzy eyes. Shut up and muttered words, but kept praying.

At the juncture of life and death, there are various poses and expressions, all in the eyes of Zhao Hao and others, and there is a smile secretly, and there is a lot of emotion.

Six people including Zhao Hao, Xu Churen, Du Gongcai, Cangsi Yang Yu, Tixingsi and Caosi took the chief positions.Behind each of them stood a few brave men dressed as domestic slaves, while behind Zhao Hao and Xu Churen stood Wu Song and Fang Baihua respectively.

The rest of the officials were also seated in the assigned positions, and there were one or two brave house slaves standing behind them. They looked like brave fighters, and they were definitely not kind.

Although the chief's table was full of chatter and laughter led by Zhao Hao, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed very depressing, a bit like a storm was coming.

Yang Yu's face was full of joy, and he couldn't stop complimenting Zhao Hao, but his eyes turned to the two sides, and he could only see a servant of his side standing by the windows on both sides of the hall.

Life and death are here!
Suddenly Zhao Hao laughed and said: "Today is a day of great joy, how can there be no singing and dancing to cheer up the fun, come!"

As soon as the words were finished, Fang Baihua's delicate voice sounded.

"Happy!"

"Dance!"

The song is a good song, "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

The dance is a gorgeous dance, the dancing shadows are dancing, and the light gauze is like a dream.

Between a song and a dance, all the guests finally calmed down, and the banquet gradually became more lively.

"Drunk the thief, I will take the opportunity to assassinate him!"

This was the message from Cheng Jun who was standing behind Du Gongcai. Soon Du Gongcai, Yang Yu and others understood and toasted Zhao Hao frequently.The toasts were also set, Zhao Hao never refused to come, but Xu Churen saw that the situation was not good, and helped Zhao Hao block the wine again and again, but he couldn't resist the four people who were not only drunkards, but also had a lot of power.

Seeing that Zhao Hao seemed drunk and dim, even Xu Churen seemed unable to resist, Du Gongcai and others were quite attractive, and the murderous intent in Cheng Jun's eyes became more and more intense.

Cheng Jun is not a real killer, but he also knows that this assassination must be done in one hit, otherwise Zhao Hao will never give him a second chance with his skill, so he wanted to touch the dagger tied to his calf several times. , finally held back.

Just when everyone was drinking to their heart's content, suddenly the music in the arena changed, and the music style also changed drastically.

"Official barn rats are as big as a bucket,
Don't leave when you see someone opening a position.

Healthy children have no food and people are hungry,
Who sent Chao Chao into the king's mouth. "

A piece of "Official Hamster", the tune is high-pitched, the singing is generous and angry, and the dancing shadow has long since stopped.

The air in the hall instantly condensed, and the expressions of all the officials in the hall changed drastically.

Cheng Jun bent down slowly, and silently put the poisonous heart-breaking dagger into his sleeve, his eagle eyes locked onto Zhao Hao...

Following the generous melody, one person got up slowly and walked into the hall, all eyes were on him.

Bachelor of Wenguan, deputy imperial envoy Xu Churen!

The singing and music stopped abruptly, the dancers retreated one after another, and the hall gradually became quiet.

"Everyone!"

Xu Churen was drunk with a lot of wine, his face was flushed, his voice was extraordinarily loud through the strength of the wine, and in an instant the hall was completely silent.

"I am not talented. I went out of Beijing with the order of the Marquis of Shou'an to patrol the sky on behalf of the heavens. I went to two roads in the west of Beijing. One was for disaster relief, and the other was to investigate the corruption of ink... Now that the disaster has been solved, the case of corruption of ink has finally come to light." Only then dare to return to Beijing to return to life!"

In the hall, the expressions of the officials of Northwest Beijing Road have changed drastically since Du Gongcai came down.

I saw Xu Churen took out a blue account book from his sleeve, slowly lifted it up, and shouted sharply: "Where is Xiang Sihu?"

Before the words were finished, a thin official like an accountant entered the center of the hall and stood beside Xu Churen under the protection of several royal guards.

"The 300 million shi official food, since the capital entered the Henan government, 150 million shi went into Cheng Jie's hands and became private food. The remaining 150 million shi, plus 200 million shi, are also stored in the stores of the prefectures and prefectures. In your private pockets..."

Xu Churen's voice became more and more high-pitched, and when he spoke of anger, his beard and hair were stretched out, the veins on his forehead were swollen, and his eyes became redder and more terrifying due to the strength of alcohol.

He turned around, stretched his fingers like a halberd, and angrily pointed at Du Gongcai and others: "You, Du Gongcai! You, Yang Yu! You, you... and you... the officials of Northwest Beijing Road present here, since Du Gongcai, there is no Fall! On the Northwest Road of Beijing, people are devastated, starved and killed everywhere, thousands of miles of desolate land, but you wait to fill your own pockets, and you are immoral! Wait, you are not as good as waiting for animals! Even if the corpse is smashed into thousands of pieces, and the bones are ashes, it is not enough for the people to be angry! Today, witness , and physical evidence are all there, so why don’t you hurry up and plead guilty!”

In an instant, the faces of all the officials turned ashen, and some even fell to the ground with a plop, causing the scene to be in a state of panic.

Hahaha~
Du Gongcai also stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the laughter was extremely arrogant and unscrupulous, and after laughing for a long time, he walked slowly to Xu Churen's side, and said with a disdainful sarcasm: "Master Xu, you did a good job It’s just ridiculous, ridiculous... It’s too child’s play to try to convict all the officials on Northwest Beijing Road with just a fabricated ledger and a fugitive prisoner?”

After all, taking advantage of Xu Churen's astonishment, he pulled the account book out of Xu Churen's hand. Xu Churen was originally a weak scholar, but Du Gongcai's sudden snatch did not hold him firmly, and he was snatched away in an instant.

Only then did Du Gong tear up the ledger to pieces, then he sneered and said, "Even if you are an imperial envoy, don't defile people's innocence!"

Xu Churen was so angry that he only pointed at Du Gongcai who was full of complacency, but he was speechless for a long time: "You...you..."

"Haha, it's really interesting!"

Zhao Hao laughed lightly, jumped up, and drew everyone's attention back to himself.He also took out a blue account book from his sleeve, and said with a sneer, "That account book is just another copy copied by Mr. Xu Yu, but the original copy is in the hands of the Marquis... This book was originally carried by Xiang Sihu, and was later taken His concubine Yuhe stole it away, but she didn't dare to keep it with her, so she still hid in the secret passage of the Chen county magistrate's mansion in Yanshi. This Marquis, therefore informed the hiding place of this ledger."

Having said that, he paused for a while, unfolded the account book in his hand, revealed a page, pointed to the signature on it and said with a smile: "Master Du, here is your autograph... If you are not convinced, you can come here and read it from us." I took it away from my hands, I will never pursue it!"

Du Gongcai stared at the ledger in Zhao Hao's hands, like a rooster who had lost a fight. Although it was a foot or two away, he could clearly see that the ledger was the real ledger with his own signature. , As for snatching the ledger... He is self-aware.

Hey~
With a beast-like roar, a house slave in Tsing Yi, holding a sharp blade glowing with green light, rushed towards Zhao Hao's back with a knife, as fast as a shooting star!

It was too late, it was so fast, the servant in Tsing Yi had just jumped up, but suddenly turned around in the air, was kicked into the air like a sandbag, and fell hard on a table three or four feet away , the drinks and dishes on the smashed table flew up, and then knocked the table to the ground with a click, causing the guests around to avoid it.

The servant in Tsing Yi was Cheng Jun, who was kicked by Wu Song's heavy kick and broke several ribs. After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, he struggled to get up, looked at Zhao Hao viciously, and hissed wildly. Roar: "Zhao Hao is a thief, take your life!"

With all his strength, he threw the poisoned dagger in his hand and shot towards Zhao Hao.

The dagger was quenched with poison, even if it only touched Zhao Hao's skin, it would still be dead or maimed!

Hearing a ding, the dagger was shot down to the ground by a Jinyi guard as soon as it was shot, and then Wu Song followed with strides, stomping his big feet on the ground, and only heard the sound of Kerala's skull cracking, Cheng Jun fell to the ground. Lie motionless on the ground like a dead dog.

咻咻~
When there was chaos in the hall, two rockets shot out from the windows on both sides, like two shooting stars, lighting up the night sky.

At this time, in the hall, the officials of Northwest Beijing Road had quickly gathered together, and those brave "domestic slaves" showed their hidden sharp knives one after another, and guarded the officials, and Du Gongcai and others had already hidden themselves. among the crowd.

On the opposite side, dozens of guards in Jin Yi held Qinglong Wrong-hand Knife in their right hand and a short crossbow in their left hand. They lined up neatly in front of Zhao Hao, majestic and ready to go.

On the other hand, Zhao Hao, under the protection of Wu Song, Fang Baihua and others, stood behind the Jinyi guards, looking coldly at the group of panic-stricken dog officials, his face full of indifference, like looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Get out, go downstairs!" someone shouted.

The people who were leaning towards the stairs ran downstairs as if they had just woken up from a dream.After a while, there was a loud scream downstairs, and everyone retreated in shock.

"The downstairs has been surrounded by white stiles, and I can't leave..." someone cried in despair.

Du Gong just came to his senses, and tried his best to shout angrily: "A bunch of trash, why panic!"

After being scolded by him, everyone gradually became quiet again.

Only Du Gong pointed at Zhao Hao and said with a big laugh: "Marquis Shou'an, even if you have all the evidence, I have issued an order, and five thousand soldiers and horses guarding the city will be killed in an instant. You are only a few hundred people here. As soon as the army arrives, they will become ashes!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a loud shout of killing outside the Liang Garden. It seemed that thousands of troops were coming to kill. The guards in Jinyi changed their colors in shock, but the officials in the west of Beijing gradually became quiet.

Hahaha~
Du Gongcai broke out into another burst of laughter, his face was full of complacency, he pointed at Zhao Hao and sneered, "Shou'an Hou, even though you are a young hero, you are going to die young on the Northwest Road of Beijing. This place is not your place." Come, unfortunately, even if you regret it, it's too late, unfortunately... Hahaha..."

Xu Churen was furious, pointed at Du Gongcai and cursed: "Rebel, do you dare to rebel?"

Du Gongcai looked at Xu Churen with pity, and said with a smile: "As long as Zhao Hao is killed, there will be noble people in Beijing to defend Du. Wasn't it because the imperial commissioner killed Cheng Jieman's family because there was no proof? It's a pity that Master Xu has to follow Sacrificial burial, I originally thought that I could have a good future with the imperial envoy, but I missed Qingqing's life, hahaha..."

Hahaha~
Those Jingxi officials who had been panic-stricken like bereaved dogs had come to their senses at this moment, and laughed after Duke Du, full of complacency and arrogance.

Zhao Hao waited until everyone's laughter died down, and then he said with a faint smile: "Master Du, you really are not someone to wait for nothing. I'm afraid that your five thousand troops won't be able to break through my three hundred white battalion soldiers."

Du Gong was stunned for a moment, then regained his expression, looked at Zhao Hao like an idiot and smiled and said, "Shou'an Hou, you are still stubborn when you die, even if you count one as ten of your white pier soldiers, you can't beat my five thousand army. I promise to protect your whole body!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise at the stairway, and everyone turned their heads in shock. They saw a tall and tall leader of the city guard holding a blood-stained long knife in his right hand and a blood-dripping head in his left hand. Under the guard of a dozen capable Xiang troops, he boldly broke into the hall.

In an instant, Du Gong almost fainted, and the ecstasy in his heart surged up like a fountain, making him unable to control himself as if he was drunk.

The deputy governor Jiang He had already led his men into the hall, which meant that the white stiles downstairs had been dealt with. What Zhao Hao said just now that the five thousand Xiang army could not break through the defense of the white stiles was a joke!

He slowly closed his eyes, his face full of loneliness and depression after the victory.

I finally succeeded!
Today next year will be Zhao Hao's death day!

Northwest Beijing Road is still Lao Tzu's territory!
……

At this moment, a voice rang beside his ears like a thunderbolt, which burned him inside and out, and his soul flew away.

"Jiang He, Marquis of Yu in the Qianlong Camp of Jinyiwei, pay my respects to Commander-in-Chief!"
