It is the spring season, and Luoyang Tongtuofang is full of tourists. This square, adjacent to Luoshui and backed by the North City, is usually full of merchants. In addition, in the spring, there are fragrant peaches and plums, and willows are blowing on the streets, under the hazy mist and rain.
, is one of the most beautiful scenery in Luoyang.
There is a mansion in the northeast corner of the square. It was originally owned by a cruel official when the heroine was in chaos. Later, the cruel official died and his family was ruined. The mansion changed hands several times. The current owner is Yang Anren, the land and water transport envoy of Henan.
Since the capital of this dynasty was Chang'an, a large number of powerful people gathered in Guanzhong, and the land was narrow and densely populated. It was necessary to mobilize food and money from the vast territory east of Mount Laoshan to support the imperial family. Sometimes there was a drought in Guanzhong, and the emperor himself would visit the east capital.
Eat.
But the emperor went on a patrol alone, accompanied by hundreds of officials in the court, concubines in the harem, and thousands of horses. The momentum was huge, and the round trip was very expensive and would inevitably disturb the people.
Therefore, when the current saint ascended the throne, he set up a water and land transport envoy from Henan to be responsible for the transportation of grain between Luoyang and Chang'an. Later, the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China proposed and added a transport envoy to the Yangtze and Huaihe River. In the past, it was directly transported by long-distance water transport from the south of the Yangtze River to warehouses along the route, at the festival level.
Transshipment, thereby greatly reducing the loss of property and manpower.
Now that Prime Minister Lu is implementing the New Deal, he even wants to set up transfer envoys in various provinces. Initially, these were just temporary envoys, but now they have become a government agency responsible for local wealth. The imperial censor criticized Prime Minister Lu for appointing villains.
, usurping the power of local state capitals.
However, the transshipment envoys had a special status. They were not only regarded by officials as a stepping stone, but also an excellent position for personal gain. A large amount of grain and goods that were brought to Luoyang, the eastern capital, through the North-South Canal, almost all passed under the eyes of the land and water transshipment envoys. However, whether the goods were sold in the markets in the north and south of Luoyang, or they continued westward to Chang'an, crossing many bridges at Guanjin and Tianjin along the way. Although the imperial court explicitly ordered local officials to exploit business travelers at Guanjin, crossing the border required cultural exchanges.
After passing the ultimatum, there is no way to search for it.
Even as long as the order is given for inspection, the passing merchants will obediently hand over the money, and the small amount will be returned to the transfer envoy's pocket.
The current transfer envoy to Henan, Hedong Pei, is not such a good business person. He was originally scheduled to move to the DPRK after eight years of service, but he is still sitting in that position because of the evaluation of "very diligent management".
Next.
……
Kong Fangfang was not interested in those words and asked directly: "Since we don't know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no intention of scheming, how does he plan to deal with it?"
After receiving this blow, Qu Luo immediately covered her face and screamed, but the snitch seemed to be happy with such a cry, and then whipped down his throat. The incredible force directly shattered his vocal cords and damaged other vital parts. Qu Luo
His body trembled and he opened his mouth to shout, but he could only make a huffing sound.
Hedong Pei was so frightened that he seemed to be grabbed by the neck, and his voice became sharp and strange: "Your Majesty, your success today is all due to your master's support! Your Majesty, you dare to forget even for a moment!"
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has no motive for such a design." Hedong Pei begged for mercy again, but slowly thought: "My lord is just collecting information and accumulating property for the master. The other party may have discovered something strange from the whereabouts of the property, so he believes that your lord
."
Gao Shancai answered truthfully: "Today, the dog took a concubine, just to celebrate, but he dared to show off."
"We're not even halfway there yet." Kong Fangfang didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "The cause of Yang Anren's death was not death from a storm as reported in the world."
"That's the clue." Kong Yifang said: "He must be vague about the assassination in Luoyang on Xiayuan Night. The assassin took a boat through Luoshui and took the opportunity to raid the Tianjin Bridge. The curfew was lifted on Xiayuan Festival, but the city's defense was not relaxed. Yang
Anren is one of the Four Swordsmen of Luoyang, and he is also a member of the left-behind mansion, responsible for guarding against thieves and assassins. If the assassin can mistakenly find a small skill, it must be because of Yang Anren's unintentional arrangement."
"It is said that before the massacre in Heyang, a batch of letters were found from the uncle's house in Heyang County to the remaining members of the Princess of Zhenguo. Among them, there was no branch of the Gao Shancai family." Pei Yan of Hedong said: "At that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had just been given the supervision by the saint.
Authority, I am about to handle a few small cases, and that is one of them."
"Hahaha, it's bad if he remembers it." Kong Fangfang laughed subtly, then retracted his hand, walked behind the bookcase and stood with his hands behind his back: "You just came to his house and found that there were no lights and decorations in the house. Could it be that there was no happy event?
?"
Kong Fangfang sneered and said: "His son was asked to leave the study by his father just after he took a concubine. How unbecoming is that? It must be troublesome. You just take her away secretly."
Hedong Pei fell to the ground. I knew how inscrutable my master was, and I was also very confused. The most intolerable thing for the other party was not a capable fool who corrupted trivial matters. Mere loyalty was not enough to save one's life.
Immediately, he kicked out, hitting Quluo's belly, and a describable sharp pain instantly spread throughout the body, making you faint and become confused again.
Hedong Pei was shocked when he heard this: "No wonder, Yang Anren, as one of the Four Swordsmen of Luoyang, lived in seclusion for those years. Later in the day, he suddenly asked for a copy of the document for crossing Tianjin. Could it be..."
"The worst thing about calculations in this world is that they are not calculated with intention. Ordinary people will be lax after all, and he will be the same." Kong Fangfang said lightly: "Okay, I must kneel down. After all, you spent so little time cultivating him, so you can kill him casually.
What a pity."
"Are you talking about nonsense?" Kong Fangfang said with a serious face: "He has lived a comfortable life for too long, and he can even see that others are setting up traps."
Gao Shancai was drunk at this moment, and he suddenly felt bold. He did not call the nurse, but threw away the concubine with both arms, directly pushed open the study door, raised his finger and shouted: "Where is the thief from, how dare you break into my residence at night?"
?!"
"Oh? Which family is she from?" Kong Fang asked.
Hedong Pei could only say yes again and again, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. In order to respond to the temptation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Gao Shancai's "sudden death", Gao Shannan must have endured unimaginable torture before he was taken away.
Hedong Pei smiled and nodded: "It's all because of the master's teachings."
However, I thought that on the day I married Mr. Yang, I would encounter an unexpected and well-informed thief who took advantage of the wedding banquet to break into the house and kidnap me.
I have a hand that can stop this thief.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Hedong Pei was confused. I understood why the master would ask about trivial matters, but he still answered cautiously: "He is a man from a branch of the Gao Shancai family."
Hedong Pei's expression was stiff, and he listened to Kong Fangfang's hot words: "The other thing is that he asked his son to take the sinner's man as his concubine, and if the servants wanted to trouble him someday, they would be looking for evidence of his own crime.
Take the initiative to hand over the handle to us."
"My lord is not here today because of my master's appreciation." Hedong Pei Youbi said with admiration: "My lord, I dare not slack off at all, and I will do my best to serve my master!"
It was getting dark, and Hedong Pei was helped back to the inner house by his maids and concubines. I drank a lot of wine tonight, and thinking about the beautiful slaves I had just bought, I felt quite low.
Qu Luo, who was dressed in a wedding dress, had her arms bound with soft whips, and the roar of the wind could be heard in her ears. Her feet were on the ground, dangling in the air like a paper kite.
Hearing those words, Hedong Pei immediately fell to the ground: "You are wrong! Please forgive me, master!"
And all that was just the end of a long torture.
However, when passing by the corridor, I found that the study room that was supposed to be empty was actually brightly lit, and no one seemed to be reading books inside.
But the son responded calmly: "Father, you are the water and land transport envoy appointed by the saint. Even if you are left behind in the Eastern Capital, I will give you eight portions of thin noodles. Those cowardly thieves dare to invade and rob us, so you'd better send someone quickly."
Are we going to be arrested?!"
Hedong Pei Nashang understood: "So Yang Anren also belongs to the master?"
"After seeing each other for a few years, he became more and more bold and fearful." Kong Yifang threw the file under the desk, turned around, and revealed an ordinary face.
Kong Fangfang frowned: "Continue talking."
Kong Fangfang narrowed his eyes and said something, and Hedong Pei Daxin speculated: "My lord, I don't have a bold idea. Perhaps the internal servants are trying to lure the master to show up."
"This An Rennan's grandfather once had contacts with the rebels and was imprisoned for it. The young man in his family was exiled to Lingnan." Hedong Pei said quickly: "By the way, it has nothing to do with the Heyang murder case."
"Then..." Hedong Pei's eyes rolled around, and he realized that something was wonderful.
"How could a family member who was involved in such a small case be taken as a concubine by his son?" Kong Fangfang turned around and asked.
"The Minister of Internal Affairs is also a human being, and he also needs food and clothing." Hedong Pei said: "The master may still know that in the next few days, the high shancai who was working in the left-behind mansion died in a storm. The Jinping sect disciples in my hands fought him to death for the ownership of the property.
You live.
"Secondly, how could he know that this was a way for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to place spies under his residence?" Kong Yifang looked around: "His study is completely undefended, and some confidential letters, paper and account books are not stored in secret rooms. You just
One look at it makes me want to kill."
"Your Excellency used some tricks to take over part of it. It happened that no one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was keeping an eye on a gambling house in Jishanfang. Your Excellency took the opportunity to make an exchange and asked us to help An Rennan get rid of his slave status."
"That method is quite clumsy." Kong Fangfang praised.
But Kong Yifang's words seemed to take care of Hedong Pei, as if he was taking away an important waste thing, lest it cause trouble to others.
After such a torment, even without any martial arts skills, Qu Luo looked at the snitch with frightened eyes. Before he could see his face clearly, the soft whip was swept by the wind, and a pair of eyes exploded. Two blood flowers appear.
"Since I want to lure you to show up, you are being polite." Kong Fangfang didn't seem to have any concerns. He turned to Hedong Pei and said, "You want to take away his son Xina's concubine."
Hedong Pei said with a smile: "It is said that he was exiled to Lingnan, but the male family members of the prisoner were separated early by various people with powerful tactics. This Anren man has been entertaining guests in Guoseyuan in the west of Luoyang ever since. Quanzi insisted on taking him away before seeing him. If you get married and go home, my lord has a way, so I can only go out and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for help."
Kong Fangfang smiled and said nothing. Gao Shancai quickly raised his head when he saw this, so he dared not ask.
"Master, I think it's important to be cautious," Hedong Pei Yan said.
Hedong Pei dared to follow it and immediately said: "Immediately order someone to bring you here."
Hedong Pei Duo has seen powerful children who value the lives of humble servants, but in my mind, the master is the same as us. I completely regard the people in the world as property, not living creatures.
At this moment, Kong Fangfang was concentrating on looking at the book in his hand, with his back to Gao Shancai, and he pointed back his hand without turning his head. The two maids and concubines who had rushed over fainted and fell down without any warning, and the doors on both sides were closed by the wind.
Kong Fangfang asked with a warm smile: "Based on the mistakes he made, is it too cheap to just take his life?"
The door closed again, and when Hedong Pei reacted, Kong Fang had not left the study, and the two maids and concubines who had fallen on the ground were also waking up from a dream.
Just when you were confused as to why you suddenly fainted, you heard a burst of panic shouting from another courtyard. A moment ago, your son hurried over, crying and fussing: "Father! A thief just came and kidnapped your Aluo." Got it!"
Kong Fangfang hurriedly walked to Hedong Pei and raised his hand to hold the top of my head. His movements were heavy and urgent, and there was no threat at all. But Gao Shancai could not stop trembling, as if his soul was about to fly away from his body.
In a daze, she only felt a low flight, and then the restraints were loosened. Qu Luo was thrown out and landed on the wet mud ground, rolling over, making her new wedding dress full of dirt.
"Master?" When Hedong Pei saw Kong Fangfang, he was so startled that he sobered up and fell to his knees with a plop: "I knew the master was here, and you deserve to die!"
Some time before leaving Guoseyuan, Qu Luo not only successfully got rid of her slave status, but also reacquainted herself with the Anren people and regained her former identity. All of this was due to her being appreciated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"It seems that the position of the Henan transshipment envoy has really benefited him a lot." Kong Yi said in a dialect: "Back then, Yang Changshan, who was guarding food outside Longzuo Army Town at night and suffered from the wind and cold, now has a loose belly.
The garden is full of concubines. From a worldly perspective, those achievements are truly ordinary."
Looking at his naughty and capable son, Hedong Pei's face turned pale and he said solemnly: "It's just a big concubine. If you lose it, throw it away. If he wants to have fewer concubines, he can just spend money to buy more."
When Hedong Pei saw this, he turned pale with fright and turned around to run away. However, when I touched the door leaf, I felt like I was slapped hard by an invisible ruler, and I immediately retracted my hands in pain.
"Is that what the Ministry of Internal Affairs promised him?" Kong Fang said with a half-smile on his face.
Qu Luo is not a strong man with no ability to protect himself, but the snitch has extremely low martial arts and slow body skills. He relied on his strong skills to jump around in various places in Luoyang City. Qu Luo could not even see the surrounding scenery clearly, except for a piece of it.
A mixture of blurry and clear light and shadow, the violent shaking almost shakes out all the internal organs.
Hedong Pei stood up and thought for a moment: "Placing the spy in the house, sir, I guess he may not be here for money."
"Wealth in the world is like water. If it is accumulated and moved, it will rot and stink. Only if it is not flowing freely can it be put to its full use. Otherwise, it will be like earth, stone and gravel." Kong Yi said: "However, wealth
The circulation will have no destination, just like the river formed by the flowing water, there will always be no trace."
Hedong Pei Zheng became irritated because of his master's successive reproaches. He immediately slapped his son on the face and shouted angrily: "That's enough! From today on, you are banned from the house, and you are allowed to go anywhere!"
Kong Fangfang casually flipped through the books and asked attentively: "Although they have seven surnames, He Xiaotong is considered a small family, so he would actually give his son a concubine?"
