Li Qi was stunned, turned around and glanced, frowning and said: "No, it should be two people."
Ma Qiao shook his head and said: "It should be four people. The Yue Fei brothers are also missing."
Li Qi looked back and felt relieved. It would be a big loss if the two culprits ran away.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the rear left side.
Everyone turned around and saw two Yue Fei brothers riding a horse, and each of them had a "human sofa" lying under their buttocks.
It was Liang Song and the beard.
When they arrived, Yue Fan got off his horse and saluted and said, "Commander Bu, the dog officer and the bandit leader just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Fortunately, my brother has quick eyesight and quick hands, and caught up with them and captured them both."
Gao Yanei said excitedly: "Yue Fei, good job."
Liang Song was being carried by Yue Fei's hand, and he was not as majestic as before, just like a bereaved dog, but he seemed to be unwilling to submit, shouting: "I am an official of the imperial court, and as a commander, I have nothing to do with you."
You have the right to punish me."
What he meant by this was that he wanted Li Qi to hand him over to Kaifeng Mansion, or to Xiangzhou Prefecture Mansion and to the Prison Department, so that he could at least avoid the immediate physical pain.
After all, he still wanted to take advantage of the Song Dynasty's loophole in emphasizing civility over military affairs. Since the Northern Song Dynasty adopted "valuing civility over military affairs" as a national policy, military personnel were strictly prohibited from intervening in politics. Their role was strictly limited to the military field. They were basically deprived of political participation and political power, even if the court became corrupt again.
, this point has never changed, this is the sorrow of the military attache.
But then again, if Wang Fu hadn't been there, Li Qi wouldn't have worried so much.
At this time, you are still struggling to your death. Li Qidu began to admire Magistrate Liang a little, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten the duty of our guards to maintain the safety outside the capital? You colluded with the bandits.
, if you commit rebellion, of course I have the right to punish you."
Now that the nature of the matter has changed, Li Qi can naturally use his authority to punish this evil magistrate.
Zhao Kai was confused when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Who is this person?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "He is the magistrate of Tangyin County."
"oh?"
Zhao Kai raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why is he here?"
Li Qi sneered: "Not to mention the people, this person is even colluding with bandits, specializing in killing people and stealing goods nearby. He just planned to murder us. It is really abominable."
Zhao Kai had a look of horror on his face and said: "Such a thing is happening in the capital."
As a prince, you naturally don't know the sufferings of the people. Li Qi shook his head and said nothing.
Gao Yanei said hehey: "Guan Gu, do you know who I am?"
Liang Song looked at Gao Yanei blankly.
Gao Yanei hummed: "I am the son of Captain Gao." As he said that, he pointed to Zhao Kai again and said: "This one is even more extraordinary. He is the third prince of the current emperor, His Highness Prince Yun."
After being a county magistrate all his life, Liang Song saw the prince for the first time. Without saying a word, his eyes went dark and he fainted from fright.
"Damn, you pretended to be faint. But don't worry, even if you die, I will never let you go."
Gao Yanei's eyes flashed fiercely and he shouted: "Come here, help me tie the two thieves to that tree."
"yes."
Several soldiers immediately dragged Liang Song and his beard toward the big trees in front of the inn that were used to enjoy the shade.
When the Yao family's third mother and son saw that this young official was actually a prince, they looked stunned and quickly stepped forward to salute.
Zhao Kai was furious now. He just waved his hand to tell them not to be polite, and then he snorted angrily and said: "It's really unreasonable. Such a thing should happen in this land of the capital, and I will never let this matter go.
Yao Kang, just go ahead and do it. But don't hurt his life. If you let such a dog official die easily, it will be too easy for him."
Gao Yanei said cheerfully: "Hey, please don't worry, brother, I will definitely make their life worse than death. Xiaojiu, let's teach them a lesson first and then take him to the county government later and punish him properly."
What is it like to fight against the county magistrate at the county government? Hong Tianjiu's eyes lit up, he nodded his head and said: "Okay, okay, it all depends on my brother."
The two idiots strode over each with a riding crop. The bearded man was so frightened that he kept shouting "spare my life", but before he could scream for a while, his mouth was gagged with a cloth.
Seeing the appearance of these two idiots, Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said to Zhao Kai, "By the way, Your Highness, how did you know we were here?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the two sentinels you arranged. Yesterday I was going to rush to Tangyin County overnight to find you. On the way, I happened to meet the two sentinels guarding Ma. They said you were being raped.
They were surrounded, so I immediately led people over."
It turned out that the two sentries arranged by Li Qi outside yesterday saw that Li Qi and others did not escape, but were surrounded by unknown people. They thought of the nearby military camp and asked for rescue, but unexpectedly they saw King Yun on the way.
He quickly informed Zhao Kai of the incident, thus saving the lives of Li Qi and others.
"I see."
Li Qi nodded and suddenly said: "Wait, Your Highness, you just said that you were going to Tangyin County to find me. Did something big happen?"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he laughed and said: "By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you."
"Congratulations to me?"
Li Qi said depressedly: "Please, I almost lost my life just now, how can I be happy about that?"
A cunning light flashed in Zhao Kai's eyes, and he said: "Yesterday, my father has appointed you as the Silver Green Guanglu Doctor, from the third rank. Shouldn't this congratulate you?"
Li Qi was a little confused and said, "Doctor?"
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Doctor Yinqing Guanglu."
Li Qi asked doubtfully: "What official position is this?"
"You don't even know this?"
Li Qi simply shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zhao Kai sighed and explained Doctor Yinqing Guanglu aside. It turned out that Doctor Yinqing Guanglu was just an honorary title and had no real power.
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Your Highness, although I eliminated harm for the people during this trip, promoted good and punished evil, and defeated a bully and a dog official, these are all what I should do. I really have no shame in claiming credit. Your Majesty is so kind.
The reward is certainly too great, and for your Highness to be asked to announce the decree, Li Qi really deserves it."
Zhao Kai heard him bending around and praising himself, rolled his eyes at him, and said: "You seem to think too highly of yourself. I am not here to read out the imperial edict to you, and what you have done, my father has nothing to do with it."
have no idea."
Li Qi said blankly: "Then why is this?"
Zhao Kai blinked his eyes and said: "You are so smart, you might as well guess."
Li Qi glanced at him cautiously and said, "I don't dare to speculate on the Holy Will. Your Highness, just say it directly. Don't scare me here. I'm very timid."
Zhao Kai waved to him, and Li Qi quickly followed him.
Zhao Kai whispered in his ear: "My father ordered you to go to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss Yan Yun."
Li Qi took a deep breath of cold air and looked at Zhao Kai in fear. Suddenly he heard a scream not far away. Turning around, he saw Gao Yanei rolling up his sleeves and whipping Liang Song hard.
Liang Song suddenly woke up from the pain.
Li Qi shouted: "Stop that guy's mouth too, and don't disturb my conversation with His Highness.tmd."
"yes."
Li Qi glared at Liang Song angrily. Then he turned to Zhao Kai and said solemnly: "Your Highness, are you kidding me?"
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I dare to joke about this?"
Li Qi spread his hands and said depressedly: "But why did the emperor do this? Doesn't this ask me to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth? No, I have to go back to Beijing now to ask the emperor to take back his holy will."
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Then you go, I won't stop you."
"Well."
Li Qi looked embarrassed. Of course he didn't dare to go. He scratched his head and whispered: "Your Highness, why don't you just tell me clearly who wants to harm me?"
Zhao Kai wondered: "Who wants to harm you? You were the one who made the decision in the previous negotiation. Naturally, you have to be sent for this negotiation. I might as well tell you that this time, everyone in the government and the opposition agrees to send you."
Day. Do you think I came up with this limelight? If I hadn’t forced me to do that surprise attack, I wouldn’t have wasted this saliva. Now, all the responsibility has been put on me. Li Qi said depressedly.
: "Then there's no need to be in such a hurry. We can wait until I get back to discuss it slowly. It won't take more than a day or two."
Zhao Kai snorted: "You have the nerve to say that you left the capital without authorization, but you made my father very angry. In fact, on the afternoon of your departure from the capital, the Jin Kingdom sent someone to send a message, saying that they were very concerned about the last negotiation.
Disappointed, I hope that my father can send someone to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss Yan Yun again. My father immediately ordered someone to announce your entry into the palace. Only then did I know that you went to Tangyin County, and my father didn’t know how long you had been there.
I just came back, so I ordered Dr. Zhao and I to come to you with the imperial edict, and if we find you, we will set off directly."
Sweating! What a coincidence. Li Qi blinked a few times and said, "Your Highness, are you going too?"
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "I was recommended by Prime Minister Wang to show my sincerity in the Song Dynasty. Of course, I also want to see what the golden man is like."
This is not bad, after all, there is a prince blocking the front. Li Qi naturally knows that Wang Fu wants Zhao Kai to supervise him, and is afraid that he will mess up again and delay his good deeds. Moreover, if the negotiation is settled, this achievement will be huge.
Not too young, he said: "What about Dr. Zhao?"
Zhao Kai said: "We were afraid of missing you on the way, so we divided our troops into two groups. I am more impatient and traveled overnight, so I could go faster, but I estimate that Dr. Zhao should have arrived in Tangyin County by now."
Li Qi rubbed his forehead. He had a severe headache. He originally planned to go back in half a month at most, but he didn't expect that he would have to go to the Kingdom of Jin. This disrupted his overall plan. He still had a lot of things to do.
Things have not been explained yet, but now that the matter has come to this, he can only accept it silently. He first clears the blame and says: "Your Highness, to be honest, I have never done this. You can't count on me."
Zhao Kai patted his shoulder and said: "I understand, I understand."
Li Qi glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Do you really understand? Forget it, my mind is a little confused. Let's settle this matter first." He pointed towards Gao Yanei.
The two walked over, and Li Qi saw that Liang Song's skin had been beaten to pieces. When the latter saw Li Qi coming, he screamed, his eyes full of resentment.
Do you want to scare me to death with your eyes? Li Qi snorted and said, "Ya Nei, your method of pumping is too strenuous. It's really thankless."
Gao Yanei stopped and gasped: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Li Qi hated the iron and said: "Isn't there an inn here? You go to the innkeeper and ask for some salt, pepper, etc., put it in the water to season it, and then put the whip in it for a while, and then start whipping it. It’s exciting, but remember to pay. Nowadays, salt is relatively expensive, and I have a small business. Why are you looking at me like this? I am a chef, and of course I hope that everything I do will be delicious.” (To be continued.
