As soon as Huaiyu returned home, two black figures pounced on him. Huaiyu was startled. He thought an assassin had entered the house, so he quickly ducked out of the way and quickly drew his knife.
The knife was raised.
I found two dogs rushing towards me.
The enthusiastic and excited tiger-spotted dog and chow chow were startled when they saw Huaiyu drawing his sword at him, and rolled around at Huaiyu's feet to please him.
"Scared me."
The hunchback Wucheng came over quickly, "There were wolves in the south of the city earlier, so Alang took two dogs there. We just brought them back today."
Huaiyu knelt down and rubbed the two dogs' heads.
It's almost unrecognizable. The blue-tongued chow is as strong as a brown bear, and even the tabby dog is as fat as a tiger. They were all thin dogs before.
Ergouzi had a special status in the Wu family, and he ate better than anyone else. He gnawed on bones and meat every day. Wu Cheng, the hunchback, often stole Ergouzi's food to feed himself and his wife and children.
"You haven't forgotten me yet." Huaiyu stroked the dog's head. The hair was really shiny and smooth, and the skin was full of fat. It was not afraid of the cold this winter.
"Did you catch a wolf?" he asked with a smile.
"We also have hounds in the village in the south of the city, but we are short of leaders. After sending these two dogs there, it really worked. They took the hounds in the village and killed several wolves, and even hunted several groups of wild boars.
, hares, voles and so on, not to mention."
The Thin Dog and the Chow Chow are famous hounds, and the royal family keeps many of them. The two dogs are more than a circle larger than ordinary dogs of the same kind. Although they are usually raised well, they are not timid at all when they are invited to play.
, born with it in your bones.
Even wolves can't defeat them.
Anyway, although there are still wolves in the south of the city, no wolves dare to approach the Wu family's Zhuangzi anymore, and even the wild boars don't dare to come.
It's a pity that Wu Huaiyu had no time to hunt with such a good dog, and it was inconvenient to take him with him. As a result, apart from chewing bones and eating meat every day, he only had to breed with dogs from other noble families.
The two dogs were very excited to see Huaiyu and even took him to see their old friends, the two mules.
The two mules, a green ox and a white horse, are pure foodies in the Wu family. The horses and mules are almost as strong as horses.
Seeing these two mules, Huaiyu was a little bit sad. When they were pulling stones and wood on the mountain, they were covered in injuries. Many of the injuries were bones. They were so skinny that they couldn't even stand. The owner of the mules sold them directly.
An experienced butcher bought it, collected herbs and nursed it back to health for a long time.
It has been almost two years since I came down the mountain, and these two mules are now so fat that they are unrecognizable.
I picked up a brush and brushed their bristles, and trimmed their hooves myself.
Gao Huian came to the stables.
"My sister is here."
Hearing that the nine-tailed fox Gao Huitong was coming, Huaiyu patted the mule and then went to the flower hall.
In the hall, Gao Huitong was talking to another girl. This girl has been living in the Wu family since she came out of the palace, which is quite comfortable. Anyway, the Wu family has no trouble raising a sister-in-law. Gao Huitong also made a village for her.
, and a sum of money and silk, but she still likes to stay at the Wu family, with her sister Hui'an, and also has a companion.
As for getting married, she had been married before, but her husband and children died in the war. Now that she is in her early thirties, she has no such thoughts at the moment.
Seeing Huaiyu coming, she said hello with a smile, and then went down first with Hui'an's child in her arms.
In the hall.
Only Huaiyu and Gao Huitong were left.
It’s been a long time since I last saw this sister-in-law, she seems to be getting more moisturized and looking good.
Gao Huitong, who had multiple identities outside the palace, now lives a more free and comfortable life than in the palace.
"It's been three days since I left the capital, so I'm impressed. Erlang has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and it's even more amazing. Now he's the Duke of 400 households." Gao Huitong said with a smile.
"Sister, her complexion is getting better and better. She is getting younger and younger as she lives."
Gao Huitong smiled slightly.
"Let me tell you something serious. We have a big case in our family and we need your help."
"Could it be Du Cai's fault?"
"Du Caiqian is just a small fish and shrimp." Gao Huitong said bluntly.
"Who is that big fish?"
"Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An, Li Youliang, the king of Changle,
Peng Guogong and Wang Junkuo, the governor of Youzhou,
Zuojianmen General Sun Anye and the others are the big fish.
Liu Deyu, the general of the Zuowu Guard, Du Caigan, the governor of Weizhou, the Duke of Pingyu County, and Yuan Hongshan, the commander-in-chief, are just small shrimps."
Listening to these names, Wu Huaiyu was also surprised, although he also knew that these people did not end well in history. When he was engaged in Luo Yi, he rushed to drag these people down.
However, after the execution of Luo Yi, the main people who were implicated were Liu Zhenghui, Liu Shili, Changsun Anye, Li Xiaochang and Li Youliang, and Wang Junkuo was not moved in the end.
But it seems that it is not immovable, but the time has not yet come.
"If the evidence is conclusive, just close the net. You don't need me, right?"
"You are a member of our six-door family, so of course you have to work together on such a big case."
Li Xiaochang and Li Youliang had long been recalled to the capital, and their actual positions were reduced step by step. It was a simple matter to do it. However, Wang Junkuo was the governor of Youzhou, and he held real power, sealing off borders and guarding one side.
"Has Wang Junkuo entered Beijing already?"
"He has already set off from Youzhou and is on the way. He will arrive in Beijing soon. We will capture him as soon as he enters Beijing."
Except for Wang Junkuo, others such as Du Caiqian are also local governors, but they have now gone to Beijing and are in Chang'an.
Six Doors has been working on the materials for a year, and everything is ready. All it needs is the east wind.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Of course, I need you to preside over the situation together, coordinate the dispatch, and secondment your Shuofang Bureau's elite soldiers and generals."
"Wang Junkuo has always been cunning. Has he noticed it? Will he escape halfway?" Huaiyu asked.
He remembered that in history Wang Junkuo seemed to have fled from the Turks on the way, but was intercepted and executed by the local people.
Gao Huitong came here today because of Zhang Liang's wishes. He hoped that Wu Huaiyu would take a trip out of Beijing and pick up Wang Junkuo in the suburbs of Beijing. As soon as he stepped into Guanzhong, he would be arrested immediately and directly interrogated by torture. After obtaining his confession, he would
Take him to Chang'an.
"Why doesn't Zhang Liang go by himself?"
Gao Huitong smiled and said, "He is very busy now. If you take action over there, he and we will also close the net in Chang'an. Li Xiaochang and Li Youliang are not easy to do."
Huaiyu nodded, it was true that those two were princes of the clan.
"Okay, I'll take this job."
I just returned to Beijing and I have to go on a mission.
"Do I need to report this matter to the Minister of Justice first?"
After all, Liumen is known as the fifth division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and it is also under his name.
"No need." Gao Huitong replied directly. Li Jing, the Minister of Punishment, could not control the Punishment Department. They were under the direct control of the emperor.
"actually!"
Gao Huitong looked around for a moment, then lowered his voice, came closer to him and whispered, "It's best not to bring Wang Junkuo back."
"What's the meaning?"
"If Wang Junkuo resists arrest, he can be punished on the spot. If he is found to have escaped, he can be shot to death during the pursuit."
Huaiyu understood now that the emperor didn't want to see Wang Junkuo anymore, he just wanted his head. In fact, the emperor had already mastered Wang Junkuo's various rebellious behaviors, including how he tricked and killed his relative, King Li Yuan of Lujiang, last year.
The emperor not only did not pursue Wang Junkuo, but instead gave him a great reward and made him the governor of Youzhou. He even ranked third on the list of meritorious officials with 1,300 official titles, second only to Pei Ji and Changsun Wu.
avoid.
Now that the emperor has stabilized his throne, he is finally free to take care of him.
Among the 1,200 households sealed, Luo Yi, who was ranked ninth, had been convicted of treason and executed.
Liu Shili, who was granted the title of Thousand Households, was deprived of his title and expelled from the country.
Now it's Wang Junkuo's turn to seal 1,300 households, ranking third in the list.
"I see."
Wang Junkuo had to run if he didn't want to, he was dead.
Gao Huitong smiled at him and said, "Your ranking of real heroes will be improved again. Previously, you were ranked forty-three. After Luo Yi was killed, you were ranked forty-two. Now that Wang Junkuo dies again, you will be ranked forty-one."
.”
"You have forgotten Liu Shili of Qianhu Household. He was previously implicated by Luo Yi and was expelled from his family."
"Oh, I forgot about him, then you will be ranked fortieth soon." She smiled, "If you really think about it, among the eleven people from the same four hundred households, you should be ranked first, that way you can still
If you advance to the eleventh place, you will be ranked twenty-ninth."
Wu Huaiyu didn't care about this.
It’s not easy to be a real meritorious official. If you can be promoted today, you may be demoted tomorrow, and your life and fortune may not even be guaranteed.
Just like Pei Ji, who is currently ranked first, is he sleeping now?
