Crown Tang emperor

With Li Siwen, a well-informed and sophisticated son of an official, joining the reception, the noise and chaos inside and outside the palace quickly subsided, and the comings and goings of the guests quickly became orderly.

It's not that this second-generation official's ability is much higher than that of Liu Youqiu and others. It's mainly because of the influence of family education. With more experiences, it's easy to deal with this kind of sophistication.

Seeing that the house was full of guests and orderly, Li Tong also had to sigh with emotion that the power was moving. After a whole day, the change of circumstances was like a dream.

In the past, if he wanted to say a few words to people, it all depended on whether the person was in a good mood, but just because he pleased his grandma, the whole world was no longer in front of him. Catering, almost throwing himself into the arms.

Last night Prime Minister Wei Fangzhi had just finished telling him that he would recommend a son of the same clan to serve in the palace, and tonight Li Jingyi, who was also from the same prime minister's family, personally sent Erlang to the palace.

As long as he can keep his favor, similar phenomena will definitely appear one after another in the future, and the fate of being in a prison in the early years and suffering from no one to talk to is even more of a verdict!

Because tomorrow morning he had to go to court with his class and receive his orders, after seeing off Li Jingyi and a few other important guests, Li Tong returned to the mansion to get ready for sleep.But just after he returned to the palace, Tian Dasheng came to visit him at night and bid farewell.

Chapter 0167 The Tang family's fate should be in the king

"Come disturbing late at night, please don't blame the king."

Tian Dasheng helped receive the guests at the palace just now, and had a few drinks. Although he was not drunk, his face was flushed.

"I and Tian Weng don't need to talk about this."

Li Tong asked someone to bring a cold drink, and signaled Tian Dasheng to join the discussion. Seeing Tian Dasheng's slightly relaxed appearance, he couldn't help sighing: "When I first entered the house earlier, Tian Weng took a risk and came here. So far There is a small turning point in the situation, let's all rely on everyone's strength!"

For Tian Dasheng and others, Li Tong was really grateful.When a person is in trouble, even a few heart-warming words are enough to make people remember, not to mention that Tian Dasheng and the others really helped him a lot.Without these unremarkable righteous men in the market, he would not be able to seize the opportunity and strive for a real turning point.

"Your Majesty will not be disgusted by the despicableness of servants, and is willing to be driven by things. The work of servants is just running around, which is really not worthy of praise."

Tian Dasheng hesitated for a while when he mentioned this, and then continued: "I came to see you at night to bid farewell to the king, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to express my feelings in person tomorrow..."

"Farewell? Where is Tian Weng going?"

When Li Tong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment: "Is there any problem with those righteous men outside? Your loyalty and life are up to me, and I have the responsibility to protect you well. No matter how big or small you are, just speak up!"

"Your Majesty is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. The servants were lucky enough to meet their benefactor. It's just that the relationship is difficult. Things have been going on for a long time, and there should be an end."

When Tian Dasheng talked about this, his expression became serious: "Zhou Xing's dog thief was expelled far away, which is a good opportunity to kill the thief. Therefore, the lives of all the righteous people are agreed, and we want to chase and kill the evil thief in the wild! I have received Guo Gong's great favor, How can blood feud be kept out of it! Now that the king's family is enjoying it, Shiro has settled down in Beiya Qianqi, and human affairs are all entrusted, and these other things are taken care of by his own servants!"

Every time Zhengyi slaughters more dogs, Tian Dasheng may have the appearance of a shrewd philistine, but Shangyi does not lag behind others, especially when he talks about these things, his tone is firm and decisive.

Li Tong stood up from the table after hearing this, and said seriously: "I have always hated Mr. Guo. If Tian Weng asked me about things, I think Zhou Xing has done a lot of unrighteousness. Now The decline has been revealed. After I enter the court, I will gather people with the same hatred and kill them! Even if it is not for the justice of the world, it is only for the righteous people to help me affectionately and uphold righteousness with the same hatred. back."

If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Li Tong naturally has no good impression of Zhou Xing, a cruel official who regards human life as nothing.

Zhou Xing was not listed as the primary target for the time being under the threat of being trapped by Qiu Shenji, but now there is no shortage, and as his situation becomes more stable, he also wants to do his part for the world.

There is no need to praise any morality, it is just to let oneself live in the heart, in life, in addition to surviving, one must always leave some deeds for oneself that can be smacked aftertaste.

So when chatting with Li Jingyi just now, Li Tong was also trying to test whether these people had any thoughts about Zhou Xing, hoping to find an opportunity to get rid of Zhou Xing so that this guy would stop harming the world.

Hearing this, Tian Dasheng bowed down from the table, took off his hair and put his forehead on the back of his hand: "This servant made this decision because he didn't want the king to get involved too deeply. Zhou Xing, a thief Blood eats people's lives, and the whole body is dirty. Even if it is removed, pus and blood will be splashed on half of the body.

The position of the king is not just in front of the eyes, the future, the future... I am just talking in a humble way, seeing the luck of the Tang family, and the revival will also belong to the king.Reckless people may not be able to talk about big things, but with a little sincerity and blood, if you don't move today, how can you wait for the future? "

After Li Tong heard the words, he was taken aback for a while, and after a while, he bent down to help Tian Dasheng up, and said sincerely: "The ups and downs of one's life is not up to a few people to talk about privately. Today, the common people don't need to treat me, only a few people under the sect We are closely related, Tian Weng and I have a small relationship, if I just cherish my life, how dare I boast about the sense of time?

You and other righteous men in Luli are obsessed with their true feelings, and I sincerely respect this tenacity.Now that you have made up your mind, I don't force you to go to danger, but apart from your mind, you must also be careful and observe the situation, not for the sake of your body, but for the sake of success.Stay for a few days, let me explore the itinerary of Zhou Xingyi Road, let's use internal and external forces, and we will eliminate this evil thief on the way! "

Originally, Li Tong was planning to get rid of Zhou Xing within the rules, but Tian Dasheng and others moved him with their intentions.

However, Zhou Xing's departure from the capital this time was not exile for nothing, he was going to Hexi as a supervisory censor to arbitrate criminals and wait for the price. During this journey, there must be sergeant guards by his side.If Tian Dasheng and the others just rushed out to search and wait for the opportunity to intercept and kill, the chance of success would not be too high.

Previously, Li Tong was blocked by the Jinwu guards. The sources of information were limited, and there were not many who could exert force.However, he was in a different situation now, and if he wanted to know the details of Zhou Xing's behavior, it was only a matter of a few words.What's more, this guy Zhou Xing has enemies all over the world, and few people would be happy to see him still ostentatiously alive.

The world is complicated, some families are happy and some are sad.Whether other people are good or not, it doesn't change Zhou Xing's current distress.

After learning that Qiu Shenji was lynched, Zhou Xing was also filled with a sense of crisis.If Qiu Shenji had been brought to light, Zhou Xing would not have to worry so much about himself.

The crimes he has handled are countless, and he is familiar with various judicial procedures, and he is also confident that in the process of judging the sentence, he will completely leave himself and Qiu Shen.But now, Qiu Shenji was killed so vaguely, and Zhou Xing had no chance to wash himself off.

After the early court ended, Zhou Xing was also mixed in his heart when he learned of his new appointment.The joy is that His Majesty the Divine Emperor has not completely given up on him. Although he is temporarily exempted from the criminal office, he still has a direct channel to Tianting.

Qiu Shenji has been a general of Nanya for a long time, and his death will inevitably have a lot of consequences, and Zhou Xing and Qiu Shenji have a close relationship in the past, so if he temporarily leaves Shendu under such circumstances, he will be able to avoid being affected to a certain extent .

However, a lucky prisoner like him needs to be under the coercion of the God Emperor. Once he leaves the protection of the God Emperor's wings, he will become the target of others' attacks.

After returning to the official office, Zhou Xing ordered someone to send the Gong's criminal papers to him while he was still in office, hoping to dig out new content from it, and to gain room for himself to stay in the capital of God.

He hoped that he could stay in the capital of God and avoid being affected by the death of Qiu Shenji. The post of Luoyang order left by Gong Siming after he was sentenced was a good choice, which could ensure that he would stay in the capital. , and can avoid the undercurrent in Taiwan Province.

"What's the noise outside?"

He was already very irritable, thinking hard about countermeasures, and suddenly there was a noise of human voices outside, Zhou Xing became even more impatient, and asked.

An official of the criminal department stepped forward and said cautiously: "Report to the Minister, the King of Hedong has been transferred for a short time, and then returned to Luantai to receive the edict. This is exactly what the ministers are talking about."

"This young king, heh, is really lucky!"

After Zhou Xing heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly after a while.Especially thinking that not long ago, Qiu Shenji urged him to frame the young king, but right now the majestic and majestic General Qiu is dead, but the young king has become very prosperous and prosperous.The fate of life is really mysterious and unpredictable.

"That's right, I don't know how deeply the young king and Qiu's death are involved?"

Occasionally, Zhou Xing had a thought in his heart. Before that, because of Qiu Shenji's pressure, he had kept a lot of attention on the young Wang's family.

He told Qiu Shenji earlier that the remaining veins of the Tang family should be cut off one by one, but it was not pure delay. After sending Li Jue, the son of Hengshan King, to Nanshi for execution the day before yesterday, he was considering the possibility of involving King Siyong's family as well.After all, even without Qiu Shenji, this was still one of his duties, but the reversal at the court meeting disrupted his thinking.

"The young king presented the scriptures, seeking self-protection, and winning the favor of the god emperor. It may not be shaken in a short period of time. But the Wu clan will not be happy to see the young king at this time. If the young king can be accused, it may be possible to borrow The power of the Wu clan remains in the capital of God."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xing's mood became hot, he remembered that the young king and the Gong family seemed to be involved in the crime, but he couldn't remember the specific details for a while, so he shot the case and shouted: "Why haven't the criminal papers been delivered yet? "

As soon as he finished speaking, a chief criminal officer in his 30s walked in slowly, and smiled at Zhou Xing, "Minister, ah no, the censor is really diligent. On the day of solving the matter, he still worries about the copy. He is a role model for my generation. But you have also been in the Criminal Division for a long time, so you should be sympathetic to the embarrassment of the lowly position, the files are secret, and the matter is of great importance, so you really should not indiscriminately show people who are not involved..."

"Hu Yuanli, are you worthy of coming to humiliate me? Do you believe it or not, even if I'm not in the criminal department, I want to kill you and other low-level officials, but it's just a matter of thought?"

Seeing the other party's schadenfreude face, Zhou Xing was immediately displeased, and glared at the other party.

The principal, Hu Yuanli, just curled his lips when he heard this, but he didn't show much fear: "Although a lowly position is not talented, fortunately, it is magnanimous. The affairs of autumn officials are not in the constitution. If your Excellency continues to rant about this, I'm afraid It is to lose the dignity of welcoming and seeing off!"

"Okay, very good! Although I have short-term solution to the case, but the return period is not far away, when the case is resolved, I will use this as a prestige!"

Zhou Xing was so angry that his face turned red, and he stamped his feet and cursed: "Get out! The Lang official has delivered the matter, and it's not a despicable official who can see it!"

Hu Yuanli laughed and quit after hearing the words, but stood at the door and pointed to a few officials to reprimand: "You wait for the pawns, wait on the corridor, your eyes and ears should be shrewd. If there is any loss of pens and inks in the office, it's up to you ask!"

Zhou Xing was even more furious when he heard this, but he was also vigilant in his heart. He knew that his popularity was not good. Once he was away from Jishu for a long time, he would be alienated by others. He still had to find a way to get back to God as soon as possible. In the eyes of the emperor.

Chapter 0168 The big murderer came out of Luo, and everyone killed it together

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is known as "the middle of the sky", from which it extends in all directions, connecting the four famous towns in the world.

Among them, the road connecting Xijing and Chang'an in the west is the most important. The distance between the two capitals is 830 miles, and there are several connecting roads alone. There are countless post roads, post roads, and private roads and side roads between folk counties and towns.

Among them, the most important arterial road with many public and private, passenger and cargo exchanges is naturally the post road.There are many travelers along the way, and there are endless carriages and horses on the road, like an endless artery of life.

It was August, and a few rains took away some of the heat from summer and autumn, but it also made the road a bit muddy.Every traveler, no matter what the purpose is, always has his own hardships, which are far less comfortable than staying at home.

During the journey, there was an astonishing muffled noise in the middle of the road. It turned out that the wheels of a carriage full of goods fell into a pothole, so that the axle broke directly, and all the goods on the carriage were scattered on the road. Medicinal herbs bundled with straw.

"Blind and miserable ghost, why don't you take a good look at the road!"

A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi Futou seemed to be the owner of the goods. Seeing the medicines spilled on the muddy road, he suddenly lost his temper. , A coachman covered in mud whipped him.

At this time, the travelers on the road saw this scene, and their reactions were also mixed. Some people gloated and laughed, some carefully checked their luggage and goods, and some wretched people rushed to the scene. They came up and started looting the medicines in the mud, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

Seeing the looting of the goods, the middle-aged owner of the goods became even more angry. While beating the driver more vigorously to punish the driver who made mistakes, he angrily scolded the other sex slaves to rush back the medicine goods.

The coachman was struggling in the mud, and his whole body had turned into a clay figurine, screaming and begging for mercy. At this time, some people couldn't see it. A young knight rode forward, grabbed the whip from the owner of the cargo, and shouted angrily: "The wrong thing has already happened, and it is time to remedy it as soon as possible. You Jiake is really vicious. Do you want to beat people to death in the street?"

"I'll teach my erring servant, you idler..."

The owner of the cargo was feeling distressed and annoyed, and raised his hand to scold the nosy young man, but then he saw the young man clasped his sword with his backhand, and had already drawn out a section of the sword that was flickering with cold light, his expression changed, and he stepped back a few times Step by step, he recruited a few healthy servants to follow him, and then he became more courageous. He pointed at the young man and said angrily, "This lowly slave ruined my carload of good goods. It's not a pity to die! I advise you, don't ask me about nonsense!"

Anyone who dares to trade wildly is not a good person. The owner of the goods has several carts of goods, and there are many followers. There are servants who have come forward with iron rods, but they are afraid of the sharp knives at the waist of the young man.

Seeing this posture, the young man was a little hesitant for a while, especially when he saw that the consignor was confident and yet to punish the slave who made mistakes. He was half ashamed and half pitiful. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and shouted: "You punish the slave, outsiders should not ask. But Since I have opened my mouth, I must not say anything, anyway, you are going to kill this slave and sell it to me!"

The owner of the goods sneered even more after hearing the words: "I am still a righteous man who loves to live, you have to meddle in your own business, it is very good, this lowly slave is usually worthless for half a piece of fine silk, but today I destroyed a carload of heavy goods, you have to save me." If he dies, he must pay for this crime. Fifty bolts of silk, if you can get it, you can lure him away, but if you can’t get it out, remember the road and don’t ask meddlesome things, get out of here!"

At this time, a lot of spectators gathered on the post road, and when they heard the conversation, their reactions varied. Some accused the owner of the cargo for being greedy and cruel, while others advised the young people not to push themselves forward. Seeing this scene, he took the initiative to return the drug goods and persuaded the owner to leave a leeway.

"Liu Changshi, shall we..."

Among the onlookers, a dozen strong knights reined in around the crowd, and one of the knights turned his head to ask for instructions from Liu Youqiu, who was in the middle wearing a gray round collar robe.

"No, big things matter."

After Liu Youqiu heard the words, he waved his hands, his eyes were on the onlookers for a while, and then he waved his hands again: "Continue on the road, I have passed several post houses, and Zhou Xing has not been seen yet. The dog thief is still there If he can enter the station at the right time, we know there must be a way to hide him, so we must find him out as soon as possible!"

Afterwards, the group continued on the road, but the accident on the post road was still unresolved. The owner of the goods refused to let go after being bitten to death. Although the nosy young man had fresh clothes and angry horses and had three or five entourages, he couldn't afford so much for a while. After pondering for a while, he got off his horse, patted his magnificent horse, and said: "This horse is worth more than fifty gold, and it can be exchanged for slaves. If you don't want to, I will learn a lesson today." .When we meet again on the wild journey in the coming year, you only hope that you still have a lot of people, otherwise..."

When the words came to this point, the tone was already very bad. After hearing the words, the consignor's face also changed. Seeing that the young man's horse was a handsome and handsome Lian Qian Cong horse, he was also greedy for a while, so he He smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I would like to thank the righteous man for helping me."

When the onlookers saw this, there was a surge of enthusiasm for a while. At first, some people made fun of the young man for being too nosy, but when he saw that he was willing to give away such a famous horse, he just wanted to save Dao Tuo and meet him. The inconspicuous servant naturally looks at him with admiration.

Tang Ren Shifeng was originally brave and upright. In addition to praising the young people for their righteousness, everyone present was also extremely shameless for their greed and cruelty towards the cargo owners.At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted: "How can there be only one person in the world! A righteous man doesn't need to break his horse, and all of us present dare to donate half a penny, and we can make up for this profiteer's money!"

The man didn't just speak nice words, but at the same time he shouted, he came out more and more, took out hundreds of Kaiyuan Tongbao bundles from his luggage, threw them directly into the mud in front of the owner's feet, and shouted angrily: "Take it!"

After speaking, he left here without looking back.With this person as an example, the surrounding onlookers responded one after another, or money or silk, and soon gathered in a small pile in front of the owner.

The so-called resentment is hard to offend, although the owner of the goods has many people, but on this important road, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and everyone is looking at him with resentment, which makes him terrified, bowing his hands again and again: "Enough, enough... "

One matter has been satisfactorily resolved at this point, the young man's expression changed, and he suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Please stop by Qunyi, let Yang pay it back!"

While shouting, he turned his head and looked at the horse with a look of unbearable expression, but he still gritted his teeth and swung his arm, drew out his sword and slashed at the horse's neck, and the horse fell to the ground wailing like this.

The young man turned to look at the astonished crowd. Although his expression was a bit sad, he soon cheered up and smiled at the crowd: "Although good horses are rare, I only like justice! Killing horses and rewarding righteous people is also the way to go." Please donate wealth, do good deeds, and so on, to feast on this journey!"

Seeing the young man like this, everyone applauded even more.Seeing this, the owner of the cargo was even more panicked, and he didn't dare to collect the goods that were spread all over the place. He drove his servants to drive the truck and hurried on the road. As for the driver who was severely injured by his whip, he was naturally left behind.

The young man asked his entourage to carry the horse corpse to the grass on the left side of the road, and drain the water to wash it away.At the same time, someone moved the coachman who was rescued by the crowd to the side of the stream. After the mud and blood on his body were washed away, a thin and bony body was revealed, with welt marks and flesh and blood turned over. It looked very miserable.

"I have a little bit of Tongqi Huang, and there are medicines for gold sores in my luggage. I hope I can do my best."

A thin middle-aged man in a cloth robe walked out of a carriage in the crowd. If Liu Youqiu and the others were still here, they would definitely recognize that this was Zhou Xing who they had been following all the way after they left God's City but could not be found.

Zhou Xing was dressed in an ordinary traveler's attire, although there was still a lingering sneer between his eyebrows and eyes, but when he pushed aside the crowd and patiently treated the wounded, no one would have guessed that this seemingly ordinary pedestrian was Zhou Xing who made everyone in the world gnash their teeth!

Zhou Xing has been a prisoner for many years, and he has seen all kinds of miserable people. He quickly took care of the wounded and won applause from the surrounding onlookers.

At this time, the young man also presided over the division of horse meat and everyone returned with donations. He turned his head and thanked Zhou Xing again and again. If he wanted to pay the consultation fee, Zhou Xing would naturally not accept it.

"The young man's righteous journey has won the admiration of the viewers. It's just that you, a servant, still need to be taken care of, and you can't be tired from the bumps. I still have a spare car in my luggage. Why don't you go with me for a ride, and then worry about it when you arrive at the front mansion?"

Zhou Xing looked at the young man with admiration, and invited him to go with him.

The young man nodded after hearing the words. He also had horses or mules in his entourage, which were really not suitable for transporting the wounded.

"People from Chengdu in the middle of Xiashu, the Yang family taboos their ancestors, and they don't know who they are?"

On the road again, the young man shared a car with Zhou Xing and introduced himself.

After Zhou Xing heard the words, he just smiled with his beard and said, "It's nothing more than a high-ranking official. Yang Lang is on the way, returning home or wandering?"

The young man Yang Xianzong had a good impression of Zhou Xing who offered to help him, and he didn't hide anything after hearing the words, so he smiled and said, "I'm just an idiot in the family, my parents urged me to start a career, travel east to the capital of God, and live here for a few days. There is no improvement in the moon. I just heard that there is a big murderer in the court who walked out of the emperor's house, and there are many Shangyi disciples in the world who want to chase and kill him.

After Zhou Xing heard this, his expression became a little unnatural, and he asked, "The so-called evil in Yang Lang's words is not just..."

"Zhou Xing, the former servant of the autumn official, is now disgusted and reprimanded. This thief eats human life for glory. He does evil without reckon. It is time to kill him! The violent and wicked, the sky hates him. He has not left the capital yet, and the post is over. It has been leaked to Fangye, and someone in Shendu City even offered hundreds of gold for his head..."

The young man talked eloquently, unaware that the Lord was right in front of him.

Chapter 0169

Being scolded face to face as a culprit, and saying that he wanted to kill him out of righteousness, one can imagine Zhou Xing's bad mood.

But he also has a bit of a sense of not being a city mansion above Qiqing. After the young man finished speaking, he slowly said: "I have heard about Zhou Xing in the city, and I am just curious why Yang Lang is so eager to kill him." ?”

"Yang Lang's way of doing justice is to give up a famous horse for an irrelevant servant. We know that his family must be rich, and Zhou Xing has a life or a daughter, so it is difficult to confuse disciples like Yang Lang. But if he is a public servant Righteousness, Zhou Xingfan's investigation of all the people, all based on the superior and the inferior, the justice does not lie in the criminal department, but in the grasslands? So where is the format of the imperial court's laws and regulations?"

After the young man heard this, he couldn't help being a little bit surprised, but he laughed after a while: "Check the words and deeds of your steps, I'm afraid it's not just high-ranking officials? The court has the rules of the court, and the grass has the loyalty of the grass. If If you can communicate from top to bottom, if you talk about it, the sea will be clean and the river will be clean, and the world will be governed. But if there are different reasons, then discuss rituals in the court and ethics in the field.

I meet my foot on the wild road, I don't discuss right and wrong with you grandly, if one person does evil and the crowd is raging, that is to say, we meet on the opposite side of the road, no matter why, kill him with one sword!The nobles in the court will inevitably become faint, and among the poor scholars in the grass and wild, they will bravely come out desperately.Today, in Jianghu, it is only bravery. "

"Oh, so that's the case, it's really a wonderful talk about the police."

After Zhou Xing finished listening, he smacked slightly, then nodded, stopped continuing this topic, and turned to discuss other things with the young man, focusing on the other party's family background.

The young man didn't have much scheming in the first place, and Zhou Xing himself was a master of criminal cases. He had already used all kinds of tricks to induce confessions without making a fuss, and quickly found out about Yang Xianzong's background. eight.

This young man's family should also be a prominent family in Sichuan, but he does not belong to the natives of Sichuan, and seems to have a little connection with the Hongnong Yang family.But most of this should be just talk, there is no conclusive family history to prove it, because the family has been a merchant for several generations, traveling in Yunnan and out of Sichuan, the industry should be doing a lot, no wonder young people are so bold that they are worth a lot The horse said to kill and kill.

As for what the young man said about the route of Zhou Xing's station, Zhou Xing already knew about it when he left the capital, so there was no need to inquire further.
