Chapter two hundred and seventy-five
There is Luzhou County on Hedong Road, and there is a posthouse named Luze seventy miles outside the city. Luze Posthouse is still hundreds of miles away from Luzhou County, and Luzhou County is still two hundred miles away from Yong'an City.
, so the geographical location of this Luze Post House is very important. The road in front of Luze Post House is spacious and neat, surrounded by mulberry, bamboo and green willows. There is also a clear pond in front of the door. The gate tower is tall and the architecture is exquisite. Those who don’t know it think it is
Which wealthy family's garden villa?
Qi Changshun, the postmaster of Luze Post, is in his forties this year, with a medium build and good looks. Qi Changshun has been the postmaster here for more than ten years. He welcomes and sends people there every day. He has experienced many people and things and has seen a lot.
The faces of the officials. No, someone came to the front station earlier to inform that King Wei Qiantai would pass by here tonight and would rest at Luze Posthouse. The postmaster Qi Changshun's heart immediately became anxious. My little posthouse
Want to receive the prince?
Two years ago, a distinguished minister came to power. He passed by the Luze Post House. He was dissatisfied with the poor reception at the post house, so he kicked over a table full of good wine and food. He even hung up the post commander Qi Changshun with a rope and beat him.
The Qi family, where Qi Changshun lived, was considered a powerful local. They invited the county's meritorious officials to make peace, and at least went to a brothel to invite a prostitute to accompany them. They waited until the master Bijia had shown enough prestige before giving up.
Afterwards, Qi Changshun cursed angrily, saying that the job of the postmaster is really not done by humans! But what can be done, as long as he does not die, the postmaster will have to work for the rest of his life. At this time, Qi Changshun secretly complained in his heart, he had received the reception before
The biggest official in history is just an imperial envoy from the Ministry of Rites. The one who came today is a prince. Now he doesn’t have to be tortured to any extent. Which prince will be a fuel-efficient lamp?
Soon, a cavalry team of more than ten people stopped outside the door of the post house. The person who reported the news earlier nodded and said that this was the horse team of the prince. Although the post commander Qi Changshun was surprised by the prince's light carriage and simplicity, he immediately took the horse with him.
The inspection team and more than 20 post soldiers knelt down in front of the post station tremblingly to welcome the thousand-year-old King Wei.
The post commander Qi Changshun fell on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. He took the lead and said loudly: "Qi Changshun, the post commander of Luze Post, inspected Luo Daxing and led all the post soldiers to see the king of Wei for thousands of years!" Qi Changshun wished he could stick his head in the ground.
In front of these high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the little postmaster was truly as humble as dust.
Qi Changshun was trembling when a magnetic voice sounded in his ears, "Qi Postmaster, please get up!" Qi Changshun was wondering if he had heard wrongly. A young man in a white scholar's uniform had already helped him up with a smile on his face, and then that
The young man smiled at the inspector and the postmen again and said: "Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite. You have a lot to do, so just do whatever you need to do!"
Qi Changshun was dumbfounded and his voice trembled, "How old is King Wei?" The boy in white laughed, patted Qi Changshun on the shoulder, and joked: "There is no such thing as being a thousand years old, you are not even sixteen yet! I know you work hard, so
There's no need to go to so much trouble, we're going to stay one night and then leave anyway. As long as we have a place to stay at night, a few pots of rice wine, and a few dishes of side dishes, that's enough!" Qi Changshun couldn't believe his ears.
A fat man who was fat but not bloated came over and said carelessly: "I told you, Mr. Postmaster, the prince has already spoken. Hurry up and prepare a few pots of good wine. The greedy man in the fat man's belly is almost ticked by the word rice wine."
Yes!" Only then did Qi Changshun come to his senses, agreed repeatedly, and hurriedly asked his men to prepare the food and drinks. Qi Changshun was like in a dream, this is the prince, why doesn't he have any official airs?
A white sparrowhawk circled twice over the post house and landed on the shoulders of Tang Jiusheng, who was wearing a white scholar's uniform. Tang Jiusheng touched the sparrowhawk's Xiaobai's head, and Xiaobai rubbed it affectionately with his bird's face.
Tang Jiusheng's face. Tang Jiusheng took out the bamboo tube from the bird's lap, and took out the sealed letter from the bamboo tube. After reading it, his face was gloomy. Shui Ruyue, who was beside him, saw Tang Jiusheng's expression was different, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what happened?
Already?"
Tang Jiusheng handed the letter to Shui Ruyue without saying a word. Shui Ruyue took the letter and said nothing.
After reading this, his face turned livid and he said angrily: "Brother, I want to go home to save my father and my mother!" After saying that, he wanted to rush out of the post house. Tang Jiusheng grabbed Shui Ruyue and asked: "Yue'er
, what do you want to do?"
Shui Ruyue was so furious that she turned around and said loudly: "Brother, didn't you see that the letter said that people have bullied my family? Even my parents were taken away and my house was confiscated. I still want to return the favor."
Why don’t you rush back and fight to find them?!”
Tang Jiusheng looked at Shui Ruyue seriously, reached out and pinched her delicate little nose, and said with a smile: "Is it enough for you to go back alone? Even your father and your brother were beaten, what do you have to go back alone?
Use? Aren’t your relatives mine? Oh, when you encounter such a big thing, you don’t discuss it with your husband. When you are anxious, you want to run back and solve it by force? It seems that I’d better marry you into my family first.
You will discuss it with me only if you have something to do!"
Shui Ruyue's face turned red, she stamped her foot helplessly, and said coquettishly: "Little senior brother! If people care, they will be in chaos! You said that my parents have been taken away by others, how can I not be anxious? Then you say,
What should I do?"
Tang Jiusheng didn't answer Shui Ruyue's question, but he didn't let go either. He turned around and shouted, "Fat man, Shuang'er, go and call Brother Xin and the others. Something has happened again. Let's have a meeting to discuss it!"
Qi Changshun personally led the way and invited Tang Jiusheng and others into the most luxurious room in the post house. Tang Jiusheng looked around and saw that it was really good. Not only was it clean and tidy, the windows were bright, but it was also quite spacious and luxurious. It was much better than expected.
There was more. Qi Changshun said goodbye and left, and a waiter came in immediately to offer fragrant tea.
Tang Jiusheng pulled up a chair and sat down. Everyone also found their own seats and sat down. Tang Jiusheng gave the letter to Xin Zhiping, Fatty and others to read. After reading it, they looked at each other. Tang Jiusheng's face was gloomy, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
"Did you see that their attacks on me had no effect, so they began to think about attacking the people around me? Do you have any countermeasures? Tell me, I want to hear your opinions!"
Xin Zhiping pondered for a moment, then raised his head with a troubled look on his face, "Brother Tang, this matter is a bit difficult to handle. It's difficult because I've dug a hole for your future father-in-law, and you can't directly use your royal power to interfere in this matter!"
After all, if there are witnesses and physical evidence, they can only hand it over to the local magistrate. As for Lingnan Road, it is within Yin Chun's sphere of influence. It is easy for him to turn this case into a solid case. If you interfere, you will be the king of the vassal.
Let’s fight!”
The fat man said disdainfully: "They dug a hole, just waiting for us to jump in! But something happened to your future father-in-law, and it was obviously for you. Can you just sit back and watch? You just became the prince,
How many pairs of eyes are staring at you? Some people are taking pleasure in others' misfortune! I really didn't expect that Yin Chun was smart enough to give you a surprise first! Old Tang, just tell me what you are going to do.
! Fatty will follow you, in and out of water and fire!"
Shui Ruyue's emotions still hadn't completely calmed down. She leaned against Tang Jiusheng, sobbing and choking: "I want to go back and rescue my parents, and then kill these harmful bastards! Even if my junior brother doesn't go, I won't."
You have to go back by yourself!"
Ximen Yushuang sat next to Shui Ruyue, stroking Shui Ruyue's hair, and said softly: "Yue'er, don't be sad, lucky people have their own destiny! My husband loves you the most, and he will draw his sword to help when there is injustice on the road. Your
How could he just sit idly by and ignore what happened? What’s more, today he is already a prince who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people?"
Su Qingtong, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Xing Kong and Qiu Man go first and secretly protect the safety of Shui Ye's family, and then we quickly go south, kill Lingnan Road, and meet Yin Chun?"
Yulong Xingkong nodded and said: "Little brother, what my father-in-law said makes sense. Qiuman and I will go to Lingnan first, and you will follow us on fast horses along the post road, changing horses frequently along the way. It is only more than four thousand miles, and ten
Yu Tian
Why are you here? Young senior sister, you don’t have to worry, I will take Qiu Man to Lingnan Road immediately to protect Uncle Shui and Auntie Shui first!"
Tang Jiusheng counted on his fingers and shook his head, "It's too late. According to the conduct of Yin Chun and others, they will definitely kill first and report later. Even if we arrive and can turn the case over, the dead will not be resurrected. Let's talk about the local magistrate.
If we kill the wrong person, the emperor can't do anything to Yin Chun, so what's the use of killing the local official?"
Tang Jiusheng stood up and walked around the room with a sullen expression. Birdhawk Xiaobai squatted on his shoulder and took a nap. Tang Jiusheng stopped and said with a determined expression, "Junior brother, this time I have to trouble you and your wife to take the lead. You go first."
, protect Uncle Shui and Auntie, Fatty and I will ride the unicorn tonight and follow. Yue'er will wait at the inn, and let Miss Qiuman come back to pick you up on the unicorn the day after tomorrow!"
Ximen Yushuang picked up Zu Qingqiu and put it on her lap, and said with a smile: "Ms. sir, what are you going to do with us two?"
Tang Jiusheng raised his head and said, "Cheng Zifei!" Cheng Zifei, who was sitting at the door, readily agreed, "Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "When we were at Bao'en Temple, you said you wanted to follow me, and your master also entrusted you to me. Now I have something urgent to do, so I will hand you over to Brother Xin, and you will follow Brother Xin."
, protect Shuang'er, the little girl and others along the way, and come south to find us."
Cheng Zifei stood up, somewhat reluctantly, "Your Majesty, I want to follow you to fight!" Tang Jiusheng pretended to darken his face, "Cheng Zifei, His Majesty just gave you the first task, do you want to bargain with Him?" Cheng Zifei?
I didn't dare to speak anymore without lowering my head.
Xin Zhiping's face was a little solemn, and he shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao Tang, it's hard for you to handle this now. It's impossible for you to lead your troops across the border into Lingnan Road and fall out with Yin Chun, right?"
Tang Jiusheng walked back to the chair, sat down again, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, according to common sense, we should wait for the Yamen to investigate the case, but think about it, I just sat down
When I came to the throne, people gave me eye drops. If I can't slap him back hard, will anyone dare to follow me in the future? If I can't protect my own father-in-law and mother-in-law, who can I protect?"
Tang Jiusheng raised his head and stared at the ceiling, saying coldly: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used! Since you, Yin Chun, dare to disturb Tai Sui, then I will simply give you a blow! Let you know that Prince Ma has three eyes!"
"
The postmaster, Qi Changshun, had already led the waiters to bring out the exquisite meals. There were dishes and wine, but no one was in high spirits. Seeing the prince's sullen face, Qi Changshun thought he thought he had not treated him well, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He bowed and stood aside, not daring to speak. Tang Jiusheng raised his head accidentally and saw Qi Changshun standing on the side. He smiled and said, "Old Qi, thank you for your hard work. Come, sit down and have a drink together!"
Qi Changshun shook his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, even a young man would not dare to do so! You are having a meal, how can I, my little postmaster, have a place at this table?"
Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly, "Old Qi, you are an interesting person! It doesn't matter, sit down and eat, I ordered you to sit down and eat! Huh?" Qi Changshun saluted Tang Jiusheng, and then he sat aside and ate and drank some timidly.
Tang Jiusheng smiled and joked: "Old Qi, I have something to do, and I have to leave tonight! These two princesses have to stay here for two days, just entertain them! You see, I have something to ask for.
When it comes to you, I have to flatter you first, after all, you are the biggest official here!"
Qi Changshun was scared to death. What kind of official could he be, a postmaster with no rank or rank? Qi Changshun grinned and said with a bitter smile: "Oh, my lord, when you say this, aren't you trying to hurt me? That's right.
