Liaozhai Great Sage

Li Xiuyuan said: "Those people were not killed by this official, but by the great thief Shi Hu. When the official family, Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin rebelled, this great thief Shi Hu was the leader of one of the thieves. The suspect of treason, I dare not be careless, so I have the suspicion of trespassing, and dispatched the arresters of the six sects, as well as twenty of the minister's personal soldiers, as well as General Yaksha to help out, surrounded Ruyi Square with soldiers, and killed him .”

When he heard this, the national teacher who was waiting beside the dragon chair narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flickered.

Shihu is dead?

Although he had received the news very early, he didn't think that the old Black Mountain demon would be wiped out so easily, but after yesterday, the breath of the stone tiger did not exist.

Let's just pretend he's dead now.

"The officials and ministers believe that the stone tiger was charged with rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable. It is a great achievement to be wiped out now, and casualties are inevitable."

At this time, Fu Tianchou, the servant of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Even if the merits and demerits balance out, I still feel that the merits outweigh the demerits."

"Hmph, you are Li Xiuyuan's father-in-law, so you naturally spoke for him. Do you need to mobilize so many soldiers to deal with a thief? What about the suspicion of trespassing? People from the Six Doors plus your own soldiers, and Yasha The general’s troops already number in the hundreds, and if you want to mobilize two hundred troops in the capital, you need to be ordered by the Minister of the Ministry of War, and if you want to mobilize five hundred troops, you need the official’s order.”

"Li Xiuyuan has mobilized more than [-] people, and the officials don't know about it. Mr. Fu, you didn't stop him. I don't know how Mr. Fu will explain this matter?" A civil official snorted coldly.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, and found that this civil servant was actually the one who paid homage to Fang Shengyu that day. Later, it seemed that Fang Shengyu fainted from fright because he was deceived by his own magic.

It is estimated that there is still resentment in my heart, and I want to get revenge.

How narrow-minded.

At this time, Lord Yang of Zhongshu Province also took the opportunity to stand up and said: "The minister also believes that Master Li has made great contributions to destroying Shihu, but the crime of usurping is not small, especially when it comes to using swords. According to the court law, he should be dismissed from office and permanently Unacceptable..."

"Master Yang, he is working for the imperial court. He has uncovered this case. At this moment, the transfer of the six gates was approved by the officials before, so it cannot be said that he is messing around with weapons in the capital." Fu Tianchou was furious road.

Master Yang said: "It is precisely because of the official's permission that I believe that the merits and demerits of Mr. Li's actions should be equalized, and neither should be pursued nor rewarded."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Tianchou's face became slightly better.

But Li Xiuyuan remained unmoved, because he knew that if someone really wanted to deal with him, he would definitely not use such a small crime.

"In this way, according to what Yang Aiqing said, the merits and demerits will be offset." The official said.

Although civil servants impeached ferociously, Li Xiuyuan was not afraid of being crooked in the shadows. The weak impeachment would not have a substantial effect, and it could only be said that it was just a means of civil servants.

It's like eating and sleeping. See who doesn't like it and impeach it a few times, and then impeach it a few times if it doesn't like it.

"It's a good thing that the group of scholars were settled yesterday. If those scholars in the court meeting today came to a deadly remonstrance and jointly signed a letter, the situation would definitely get out of hand." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

It can be said that this invisible crisis has been resolved.

A seemingly dangerous court meeting ended in anticlimactic conditions.

Although Li Xiuyuan was impeached, he was rewarded in the end, and he himself was safe.

However, after the court meeting ended, he did not leave in a hurry, but planned to take this opportunity to go to Daojun's temple to retrieve the book of life and death.

But after asking for a while, I found out that Daojun's temple is in the harem of the imperial city.

This made him a little embarrassed.

The harem is the place where the emperor's queens and concubines live. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter or leave unless there is permission from the emperor.

But when Li Xiuyuan was walking and thinking, an eunuch suddenly came hurriedly from somewhere, and said, "Is that Master Li?"

"Huh?" Li Xiuyuan became vigilant when he saw the eunuch subconsciously, but then he recognized the eunuch again. He was actually the one who sent the beautiful girl into the palace last time. he.

"It turned out to be the father-in-law from last time. I don't know if I have anything to ask me for?"

7Chapter 17 Daojun Temple

The little eunuch looked left and right, and then whispered: "Can my lord take a step to speak?"

Li Xiuyuan nodded, and immediately walked to a secluded place.

"My lord, originally this matter is not allowed to be spread indiscriminately in the palace, but I think it has something to do with my lord, so I pretended to be brave and told my lord secretly." The little eunuch said cautiously.

"What do you want to tell me? Eunuch, please speak up. Don't worry, Eunuch. I won't talk nonsense about things in the palace, and I won't tell others that I heard it from Eunuch." Li Xiuyuan saw this little girl. The eunuch was worried, and when he was talking, he took out a few oriental beads from his bosom and stuffed them into his hands.

The little eunuch was a little overjoyed after taking over Dong Zhu, but then he pretended to be dignified and said: "Didn't the lord ask the little one to take care of the beautiful girl who entered the palace last time?"

"Is that the girl?" Li Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, and there was indeed such a thing.

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "The young one specially screened out that girl according to the adult's order, and planned to send it out of the palace with other unselected girls in a few days, but I never thought that there would be a shortage of a lady in the palace." The palace maid chose a few impromptu, and unfortunately, that girl was chosen. No, she didn’t make it out of the palace, so she went to serve that empress.”

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is indeed a troublesome matter. It seems that my care has not worked. That girl was still left in the palace."

"My lord, what I want to talk about is not this matter. The lady's servant asked someone to ask. The girl under the care of the lord seems to have disappeared. It happened just a few days ago, and she hasn't been seen for several days. " said the little eunuch.

"You mean a living person disappeared in the harem of the imperial city..." Li Xiuyuan frowned.

"Yes, yes." The little eunuch hurriedly said: "It is true that she is missing. The palace has clicked several times, and the girl is indeed missing."

"Is she the only one missing, or is she just one of the missing people?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The little eunuch said: "Only that girl is missing, the other beautiful girls are all fine."

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said, "I want to visit the harem, can you help?"

The little eunuch was a little confused: "It is not impossible for an adult to go to the harem. If the commander of the imperial army can allow it, there will be no problem there. But if the imperial army does not agree, there is nothing the little one can do."

"Let's give it a try and see if the imperial guards can be accommodating." Li Xiuyuan said; "Thank you, you will lead the way."

The harem of the imperial city is not strictly guarded and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Although the court has such regulations, but the court's laws are too strict, who really cares about it?

Moreover, it is impossible for the officials to control such trivial matters. As long as the guards on duty turn a blind eye, they can enter and exit the harem.

Of course, the premise is that your grade is high. If the official position is not high, the imperial army will not sell this face to you.

"My lord, please stop. The court meeting is over. Your lord will take that road to leave the palace. This road leads to the harem. Nobody is allowed to enter or leave at will." Sure enough, he didn't go far. On a small road, there were two guards on duty blocking Li Xiuyuan's way.

The little eunuch who led the way said: "This is Lord Li, the governor of Yangzhou. Today, I have to go to the harem for some official business. I ask you two to accommodate me and promise to come back within two hours. I won't cause any trouble to you. "

After speaking, feeling a little heartbroken, one of them stuffed a Dongzhu in his hand.

The newly arrived baby was sent out before it was warmed up.

The two imperial guards looked at Li Xiuyuan, and saw that he was wearing a scarlet court uniform and a jade sword. He was indeed a general, and he was also a court official of the fifth rank. After reading about the deeds of a master named Li Xiuyuan in the capital, I heard that Cui Wei of the Six Doors is working under his command, and he is very capable.

Dare not to sell this face, one of the guards immediately said: "Master Li is going to the harem, of course we can accommodate a little bit, but I will wait two hours to change shifts, and now half an hour has passed, Master Li is going to the harem If you do, you must come back in an hour and a half, otherwise, I don’t know if the brother who takes over will give Master Li a little face."

After speaking, he stepped aside and clasped his fists as a signal.

"You two don't need to worry, my official will come out within an hour, and I won't embarrass you two." Li Xiuyuan also gave a salute to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your accommodating, I will go to Ruyifang for a drink another day, and report to the book The name of the official is counted as the official invited two people."

"Thank you, sir." The two were a little surprised.
