It is said that some people in higher positions look down and have no fairness or right in their eyes. They only treat everyone as pawns and only care about whether everything is under their control.
Obviously, this was the case for Zhang Qixian, the pacification envoy and Liang Hao, the judge.
Although in the eyes of people with higher positions, the two of them are just two chess pieces. However, at least in Yongxing Military Road, they are the chess players.
However, the two of them were kind enough and did not directly order the elimination of Han Qing, the person who discovered the problem. They just wanted to temporarily capture Han Qing and put him under house arrest, depriving him of his freedom for a period of time.
Of course, if Han Qing did not have the status of an imperial student, his mentor was not Zheng Changfeng, the imperial wine minister, and his grandfather was not Han Chonggui, who once blocked an arrow for Emperor Taizong, everything would be a different story.
For the sake of the overall situation, the economic pacifier must sacrifice individual chess pieces, and there is no guarantee that he will not be one of them.
In the next two days, with the transfer envoy Song Shouzheng taking the initiative to avoid suspicion, the orders of Zhang Qixian, the pacification envoy, could be said to flow unimpeded within the scope of the Yongxing military road.
After receiving the order, officials at all levels, no matter whether they contradicted it in their hearts or not, appeared to be doing their best to carry out the order, so as not to accidentally be regarded by Zhang Fu as an accomplice of Zhou, and suffer disaster.
In order to ensure that his orders were not compromised, the Jinglue pacification envoy also tried his best to avoid directly calling the personnel under the Transportation Department. Instead, he issued the orders to Jingzhao Mansion under his direct jurisdiction and handed them over to the officials of Jingzhao Mansion for implementation.
In this way, the efficiency is virtually improved.
On the third day, he received a report that Li Yixian, the chief arrester of Jingzhao Mansion, had led his team to Fangzhou. Soon he would personally escort Zhou Chong back to Chang'an. (Note: There was no chief arrester in the Song Dynasty.
Positions, related positions should be called metropolitan jurisdiction. For the convenience of readers, this book uses the title of chief arrester.)
Wang Quan, the left army inspector of Jingzhao Prefecture and known as the number one arrester in Jingzhao, led several capable subordinates. He separated from Li Yixian in Fangzhou and rushed to Ding'an County at night. He invited Zhang Wei, the magistrate of Ding'an County, to go with him.
In front of the appeasement envoy, the "slander" of the rumors was stripped away. (Note: The Zuo Army Inspector, in the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, Jingzhao and other important places had left and right military patrols responsible for public security. The military patrol was the director of the military patrol.
Official. Kaifeng Mansion Zhan Zhao corresponds to this position.)
Fangzhou is only more than 200 miles away from Ding'an. Wang Quan did not go directly from Jingzhao Mansion to Ding'an. Instead, he chose to suddenly make a U-turn from Fangzhou and attack. This would surely catch the county magistrate Zhang Wei off guard.
When he and Li Yixian returned to Jingzhao Mansion with Zhou Chong and Zhang Wei, things basically fell into the framework of Liang Hao's plan for Zhang Qixian.
Next, it depends on the intentions of the officials and how some important figures in the DPRK will secretly use their efforts to protect which officials involved in the case and abandon which ones.
In order to take precautions, Zhang Qixian also ordered all branches of the Yongxing Military Road to return to camp in the name of Qiu Cao. In case the Red Lotus Sect gathered people to plot evil, the local governments were caught off guard.
Fortunately, as Liang Hao had expected, the Red Lotus Sect was not ready to rebel at all, or it was simply a group of rabble-rousing people who cheated money and sex. No action was taken in any state or county.
In this way, Zhang Qixian breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could relax, some not-so-good news came back.
Wu Zhong, the official he sent to "invite" Jinniuzhai inspector Han Qing to come to Jingzhao Mansion to see him, failed in Fangzhou, Yaozhou and Pizhou.
Han Qing, who was inspecting Jinniuzhai, suddenly disappeared without a trace like dewdrops on the grass.
…………
The morning mist curls up and drifts in the wilderness in mid-autumn, gathering and dispersing at times.
The woods of different shades, the undulating mountains and rivers, and the gurgling streams are all covered with a "gauze" by the mist. As the sunlight gradually increases, they instantly become colorful and dreamlike.
Han Qing, who was riding a bay-red horse, and Dou Rong, who was riding a big black horse, walked out of the morning fog side by side. The two young faces were filled with sunshine.
Wu Zhongguang, the push officer, knew that he would look for the place where the Kong Ming Lantern once appeared, but of course he could not find any trace of the two of them. (Note, push officer, the official responsible for the case under the pacification envoy. The rank is not high, but he is very trusted. Fan Zhongyan served as the official in his early years.
this position.)
In order to avoid falling into the clutches of "rural sages" like Zhou Chong and the Red Lotus Sect, Han Qing and Dou Rong did not dare to stay in the same place for a long time for several days, and they rarely used official methods.
Although the four states of Ping, Ning, Fang and Yao are now frontier fortresses, more than two hundred years ago, they were the true heart of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the official roads, various well-known and unknown roads extend in all directions.
Unless he knew the Ma Qian lesson, there was no need for Wu Zhong to think about meeting Han Qing by chance.
Even if the two sides could meet, Wu Zhong would not be able to match the Han Qing of today with the Han Qing drawn on the drawing in his hand.
Not to mention, the drawings in his hands were drawn by several officials in Jingzhao Mansion who had had a relationship with Han Qing, and they were drawn from memory, so they couldn't be realistic at all.
Even though the picture is exactly the same as the Han Qing who passed by Jingzhao Mansion back then, Han Qing's appearance, skin color, spirit, and temperament are also hugely different today.
At first glance, ordinary people would not dare to think of Han Qing now and him back then.
This change is not just because a soul from the 21st century has replaced the original boy.
It's also because today's Han Qing is no longer as lonely as before, with her grandmother not caring about her uncle and not loving her.
Now, there is one more person beside him.
The soul of the Song Dynasty that he wandered to finally had an anchor point.
Although subconsciously, Han Qing always believed that what she liked was a charming mature woman, not a young girl who had just begun to have a love affair.
However, the feeling of being loved and admired by others still made him feel like drinking mead.
The long journey made his and Dou Rong's skin color much darker. However, under the nourishment of love, the two of them looked more and more energetic.
Just like two beautiful jade pieces scattered in the wilderness, if you don't look carefully, they can easily be mistaken for ordinary stones. The more carefully you look at them, the more extraordinary they become.
Han Qing is thirty-six years old this year, at least, he thinks so.
However, the previous owner of the body was only twenty years old, and he had been pampered since he was a child, so he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Although Dou Rong is only sixteen this year, in this era, she is already a real big girl.
Her physical and mental development speed is much faster than that of girls of the same age in the 21st century. Therefore, on the surface, she is very close to Han Qing in age.
The two walked side by side, looking at each other from time to time, with tender faces. They looked like a newly married couple returning to the woman's natal home together.
In fact, the two have indeed been pretending to be a couple in the past few days.
Whether they stayed overnight in the village or traveled across the state and county, they always used their identity as husband and wife as a cover.
At the beginning, Dou Rong was a little shy, and Han Qing also felt a little embarrassed.
However, soon, the two of them developed a tacit understanding like a couple.
Often Dou Rong didn't say anything, just a look, and Han Qing already knew her warmth and coldness.
But often Han Qing didn't say anything, just smiled, and Dou Rong immediately understood.
This was an experience that Han Qing had never had in his entire life. Occasionally, he deliberately left his horse half a step behind. Looking at Dou Rong's long hair and elegant clothes, he instinctively suspected that he was dreaming.
However, whenever he pinched his right hand secretly with his left hand, he could clearly feel the pain.
It clearly proved that he was not living in a dream at this moment.
"I am more than 20 years older than her, and I grew up in a different era, how could there be no generation gap?" Han Qing couldn't help but ask herself when Dou Rong held her horse in front and turned around to greet her with a smile.
However, the facts gave him the most direct proof.
The generation gap does not necessarily exist. Unless he deliberately tells anecdotes that happened in the 21st century, both parties will use the world in front of them as a reference and there will be no obstacles to communication.
Even if Han Qing sometimes unintentionally expresses some opinions that are beyond the immediate era. Although Dou Rong doesn't quite understand, she usually won't be surprised.
Just, he raised his head and looked at him quietly, his eyes full of admiration.
As if to say: "Brother Han, you know so much, it's amazing. No one has ever been as knowledgeable as you before!"
As a result, Han Qing was embarrassed to show that she was different. When encountering things, she tried her best to use Dou Rong's eyes as a thinking yardstick from the perspective of a person from the Song Dynasty.
He thought that with his maturity and mellowness, he could do it without leaving a trace. But time and time again, Dou Rong still felt his thoughtfulness, and was moved to tears by him.
"Brother Han, actually you don't have to be so accommodating to me! I learn things very quickly. Even if I don't understand, as long as you are willing to explain to me why, I guarantee that you don't need to teach me a second time!" Dou Rong, who was moved, always said
Stress it to him seriously.
"That's right, why am I so much older than you?" Not wanting Dou Rong to feel burdened, Han Qing always explained with a smile. "What's more, I enjoy it!"
The first half of the sentence made the girl shake her head. The second sentence made the girl's cheeks turn red.
In this era, it is normal for a man to marry a wife who is much younger than him. The four-year gap is not much.
And Brother Han is probably the only one who accommodates his wife in everything and still enjoys it. No wonder, it makes Dou Rong feel shy and happy.
However, no matter how sweet the words he said during the day, no matter how considerate his behavior during the day, when it was time to rest at night, Han Qing always very naturally placed a spear between the two of them.
The two-inch thick gun barrel was like a high wall, separating the two of them, one on the left and one on the right.
In the first few nights, Dou Rong was always so anxious that it was difficult to fall asleep.
She wonders if Brother Han suddenly "climbs over the wall" and passes by, will she make him angry if she refuses?
She was even more worried that if she didn't choose to refuse and gave her body to him so quickly, she would be looked down upon by him again.
As a result, when she woke up the next day to the sound of Han Qing practicing martial arts, she always found that her clothes and the belts she had secretly fastened were intact.
A few days later, Dou Rong herself began to worry about gains and losses again.
I am very worried that Brother Han has never "jumped over the wall". Maybe he doesn't like me at all, or maybe he is not attractive enough to him.
As a result, Han Qing felt her mood thoughtfully once again.
When he went to bed last night, Han Qing smiled and stretched out one hand, holding her hand in his palm, and placed the other hand on his chest, "Silly girl, don't think nonsense. You are already the person you are.
I belong to the young master, and there is no way I can escape in this life."
"I, I don't want to run away!" Dou Rong blushed instantly, but refused to take her hand out of Han Qing's. She just covered her face with one hand to defend herself.
"Well, just don't want to run away!" Han Qing nodded proudly like a child who found a treasure. The other hand continued to cover his heart and promised with a smile, "As for the rest, we have to wait until this storm passes.
Meet your parents and give you a decent wedding. Otherwise, when I think about it in the future, I will definitely feel very sorry."
These words finally made Dou Rong feel relieved, she held his hand and fell into a deep sleep.
Han Qing, on the other hand, covered her chest with one hand and secretly smiled bitterly.
How could he act out of emotion and stop with reason?
In his previous life, he had not been a gentleman for a day since he was thirty years old.
Although in this life, influenced by the customs and laws of the previous life, I couldn't bear to attack Dou Rong too early, in fact I endured extreme pain along the way.
But the problem is, every time he wants to cross the threshold, before he can put his idea into practice, his heart starts to twitch continuously.
If the heart refuses to supply blood seriously, people's desires will naturally disappear.
For this reason, every day after Dou Rong fell asleep, Han Qing always said good things to the "remaining soul" in his heart. He was even willing to sign another alliance under the city.
But no matter whether he begged or threatened, Remnant Soul refused to give him any positive response.
But in his memory, a vague figure kept appearing, with a surname of Zhou and a single name of Min. It reminded him that he was engaged in Bianliang.
"What the hell, that's your marriage, what does it have to do with me? Besides, it's still a matter of time before the Bianliang Zhou family is willing to recognize you as their son-in-law!" Han Qing was so angry that she cursed loudly in her stomach.
My heart beat violently a few times as a protest, and then quickly returned to normal without being angry with him.
"Now that we have entered the territory of Huazhou, I will not go to Jingzhao Mansion first. I will go directly to Huashan to find Chen Tuan's disciples!" Han Qing couldn't bear it and threatened her chest, "Whether you are a ghost or a soul,
Let him arrest you and let us break up from now on!"
There was no movement in the heart.
The "remnant soul" who caused him to give up his "career establishment" and fail to become a groom seems to have no fear.
