Chapter 303: Minister of the Ministry of Officials
Xu Zizhen groaned secretly and forgot to observe his surroundings while talking. Now that the ball was rounded, he could only raise his hands and asked Su San in a low voice: "Have you recovered?"
Su San said: "After a fight and running around, everything was fine." As he spoke, he imitated him and raised his hands.
Xu Zizhen nodded. Now that he was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he was not in a hurry. Yelu Fu was nearby. With the old man's skills, his own safety was not a problem. However, when he thought about it, it was probably too mysterious. There should be dozens of crossbows.
No matter how high Yelv Fu's skill is, he can't stop these crossbows from firing in an instant.
Just as he was thinking of this, the leader of the team waved his hand and divided a small group of people to approach. Xu Zizhen was in an open space. He had no place to hide in the face of many arrows. He could only watch them coming, and he was unarmed.
, unable to resist, he glanced around looking for traces of Yelv Fu from the corner of his eye, but there was no movement.
The team that came over kicked Xu Zizhen over and put the sword on his neck with his sword out of its sheath. Only then did Xu Zizhen become really anxious. Just as he was about to call out, he saw that Su San had also been put on the knife. This scene would not have happened even if Yelu Fu appeared.
A chance for a comeback.
"This old man is so damn unreliable." Xu Zizhen cursed secretly, and could only let the others tie him up obediently. He turned around and saw Su San looking at him blankly, and asked casually, "Why are you looking at me?"
Su San whispered: "Where is the person who saved us?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Who told you that someone was coming to save us?"
Su San's eyes widened: "Then you asked me if I had recovered. I thought you wanted me to prepare to run away."
"Don't talk!" A soldier hit each of them on the head with the handle of a knife.
Su San groaned in pain, and Xu Zizhen turned around and glared at the soldier fiercely: "Don't fall into my hands if you have the guts!"
The soldier's heart trembled when he glared at him, and he wanted to hit him a few more times to strengthen his courage, but his hand could no longer fall down.
"Take away!" the commander gave the order and took the two of them into custody. When Xu Zizhen stood up, he caught a glimpse of a rogue next to the commander. He was looking at him with his arms folded, but the man himself did not see him.
Yes, he is not one of the gangsters just now, but he looks like he brought the officers and soldiers here.
Xu Zizhen was escorted out of the alley before he could think about it. A large car with carriages was already parked there. The driver was also a rogue, with his hat tilted and his clothes open. When he saw Xu Zizhen coming over, he snorted contemptuously, as if muttering.
He said something, and Xu Zizhen vaguely heard something like "You even dare to mess with Lord Jiu's people."
Master Jiu? Is he the brother of Master Seven?
When Xu Zizhen got out of the car, he had arrived at another place. In front of him was a towering and tall building. Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that this place looked familiar. At another glance, he noticed an acquaintance at the gate. It was the official who came to Bianjing on his first day.
The yamen servant he saw when he asked about Wen Chengyan suddenly looked up and saw a large plaque above the door, with two big characters - Officials Department - on it.
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he would be taken to the City Defense Department or some military camp, but he never expected that he would be taken here. When he was stunned, the soldiers behind him pushed him in.
Su San said directly from the side: "Why are you here at the Ministry of Civil Affairs? This matter is not under our control."
"Shut up!" The soldier who hit them on the head with a knife cursed again.
Su San turned around and glared, saying fiercely: "If you have the guts, don't fall into my hands!"
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but burst out laughing. The soldier didn't dare to do anything to Xu Zizhen, but he didn't want to lose face in front of a woman. In anger, he raised his hand and was about to hit her. Suddenly, a man ran up not far away.
He shouted: "Has anyone been caught? Hurry up, the adults are waiting."
The soldier had no choice but to put down his hand and pushed Xu Zizhen and Su San in bitterly. Soon they came to a courtyard in the inner hall. Two government officials on duty in the courtyard picked up Xu Zizhen and brought him into the house.
As soon as he entered the door, the two government officials pressed Xu Zizhen's shoulders and kicked him in the legs, shouting: "Kneel down!"
Xu Zizhen did not move at all, his eyes only looked at an official sitting in the room. This official was over fifty years old, with a fat head and big ears, a red face, and a protruding general's belly. Sitting upright in the room, Xu Zizhen finally understood something about Song Dynasty officials while following Wen Chengyan.
The level of the official's uniform can be seen immediately from the patch of uniform on the chest of the official. This is a high-ranking official of the second rank. Could it be said that he is the top leader here, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
The official glanced at him lazily: "Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
A hum sound came out of Xu Zizhen's nose: "Who do you think you are, worthy of me kneeling down on you?"
"How dare you! How dare you be rude to Lord Shangshu!" The officer behind him took out his sword and put it on the back of his neck.
Xu Zizhen smiled: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Wang, the Minister of Personnel."
He knew this man. Both Wen Chengyan and Zhao Gou had mentioned to him that his name was Wang Shiyong, saying that he was a pro-gold sect through and through, and that he had only a slight relationship with the fourth master, King Jing Zhao Qi, and he was considered a direct descendant.
Centaur.
Wang Shiyong was actually not annoyed at all by Xu Zizhen's offense. He looked at Xu Zizhen and said with a smile, "If you don't kneel down, then don't kneel down. What should I call this strong man?"
Xu Zizhen found that Wang Shiyong's attitude was very kind. He had a round head and round face like a Maitreya Buddha, but there was a hidden light shining in his eyes. He understood that Wang Shiyong must have some reason for being so polite to him, so he simply followed him.
When asked, he said: "Well, my name is Su Da, and next to me is my sister Su San."
Wang Shiyong smiled: "Oh? Could it be that Su Zhuangshi did not deliberately go against me, but just to find a girl?"
Xu Zizhen suddenly understood that the person behind the kidnapping of those women was actually Wang Shiyong, the official minister. So he and Wang Fu and his like were in the same group, and they all had the same purpose, which was to please Jin.
people.
Anger suddenly rose in his heart. He has not forgotten the robbery incident in Suzhou City, and the miserable and helpless scene of dozens of women in the cabin of the ship outside Chongyuan Temple.
He still vividly remembered this incident. Finally, today he finally met the real owner, although it was only one of them.
But before he could speak, Wang Shiyong spoke again. He glanced at Xu Zizhen and said meaningfully: "Master Su, I wonder where the rest of your Tianxiahui are? If you can tell me frankly, I will
How about the official granting you a high-ranking official and a generous salary?"
Tianxiahui? Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Wang Shiyong actually thought that he was a member of the Tianxiahui. After thinking about it again, he understood that the Bianjing city was in turmoil now, and the Jin soldiers might attack at any time. There was some bloody spirit in the court.
The officials have long been suppressed by powerful ministers such as Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu. The only one who can secretly resist is probably the great god Tianxiahui.
Xu Zizhen did not deny it. Let it be a misunderstanding. Anyway, he inherited the love of Taoist Master Xuan Yi and had such a deep relationship with Shui Liuli Rongxi. However, he did not want to explain anything. He just wanted to kill people and kill this fat pig in front of him.
It seemed like the old man cut it into eight pieces and then rushed out of the official office.
"Give me one hundred thousand taels of silver and I will tell you."
