In a courtyard, a crackling sound came from the house.
"Madam, madam! Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Accompanied by a man's low voice.
The servants, women and girls in the yard were used to seeing each other and went about their business.
"Tell me, did you do it?" The Dong family's wife pointed at Xiang Qi with one hand and held up a porcelain bottle in her other hand. She shouted sternly, her eyes red and swollen.
The house was in a mess, with flower stands scattered on the floor and broken porcelain bottles.
"How could I have done it! If I had done it, would I have been so anxious to come back and tell you? Damn them!" Xiang Qi shouted, with an aggrieved look on his face, "Besides, those are my brothers too.
,How could I do such a thing!"
Madam Dong sneered.
"How could you do such a thing? You have wanted to do such a thing for a long time, right?" She said, "You can sit back and relax after killing Brother Xu? You don't have to worry about being kicked out of my family, right? I'll tell you Xiang Qi.
, there is no Brother Xu, if I want to drive you away, I will drive you away!"
Such words are really not something a man can endure.
"I'm telling you, even if you drive me away, Brother Xu won't look down on you!" Xiang Qitie shouted with a livid face.
With a swipe, the porcelain vase in Madam Dong's hand was smashed over.
Xiang Qi nimbly dodged, and the porcelain bottle smashed out of the door, falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.
"You come with me to the government! You come with me to the government! I want to ask if it was you who did it! If you did it! I won't let you go!" Madam Dong cried, reaching out and grabbing Xiang Qi.
Xiang Qi will naturally not go.
"What are you talking about! Is there anyone who bullies others like you?" he shouted angrily.
The couple were fighting and crying in the hall.
"This is too unfair! It's my fault that they didn't come to us when they came to the capital. It's also my fault that they came to the capital and were arrested! It's all my fault! Is there anyone who bullies people like this?"
"What's the fuss about?"
The old man's voice came from outside, and the couple who were fighting together looked outside and saw an old man in brown clothes standing outside the door with a sullen face.
"Dad." The Dong family's wife pushed Xiang Qi away, ran over and grabbed the old man's arm and cried, "Dad, Brother Xu and the others were arrested!"
Xiang Qiye came over.
"Dad," he said, looking a little embarrassed, "I just heard the news that Brother Jiang Lin and others were arrested and said to be deserters."
"Who knew they were deserters? Could the government take care of them? Who knew who they were? The officials were so full that they went to catch them! They are not as valuable as a few gangsters!" Madam Dong cried, pointing at him.
, "It's you, you must be the one who secretly instigated the government to arrest them! Besides you, who cares who Brother Xu and the others are?"
"I'm so capable! I can let the government arrest anyone they want. Besides, what's the point of reporting them!" Xiang Qiqi said.
"What's the good thing?" Dong's wife pounced on him again, "As long as Brother Xu is here, I will divorce you! As long as Brother Xu is here, I won't have you!"
"Brother Xu doesn't need to be here, I'm leaving now!" Xiang Qi shouted, throwing away the Dong family's wife.
"Shut up!" Mr. Dong shouted, pointing at the Dong family's wife, his face turned blue, "You bastard, what did you say!"
The Dong family's wife covered her face and turned around to cry. A hint of secret joy flashed in Xiang Qi's eyes, and her face was gloomy.
"Have you ever talked to Qilang like this? He is your man, the father of the eldest brother and the second brother!" Mr. Dong shouted, "He was brought into the house by the matchmaker of our Dong family! There is no basis for it, what are you making such nonsense about?
!”
The Dong family's wife hid her face and just cried, bowing her head to Qi.
"Of course, if I have proof, I won't spare you!"
The old man suddenly changed the topic and looked at Xiang Qi and said.
Xiang Qi was startled and raised his head to look at the old man.
"Dad, you also think it's me..." he said with a bit of sadness.
"This happened so suddenly." The old man said, "They have been fine in the capital for so long, so why were they arrested when they met us?"
He said this with his eyes fixed on Xiang Qi.
"Shichiro, it's not that easy to let go of some grudges at the beginning, right?" he said.
Xiang Qi smiled bitterly.
"Since you said so, Dad, I have nothing to say," he said.
The old man looked at him with twinkling eyes.
"Dad, if something happens to Brother Xu, I won't be able to live anymore!" cried the Dong family's wife.
"Shut up!" The old man looked at her and shouted, "Who can watch them die?"
As he said this, he turned around.
"Let's go to the Yamen and ask clearly!"
The Dong family's wife hurriedly responded and followed the old man quickly.
Go to the Yamen...
Xiang Qi looked a little nervous, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and deny it. Anyway, no matter how anonymous he was, there was no evidence to suspect him.
He also lifted his heels.
"Liu Kui!"
At this time, in the patrol courtyard of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, a shout made everyone in the courtyard look over, and they saw the gloomy-looking Master of the Jingzhao Mansion Courtyard stepping forward.
"Your Excellency, why is the general here?" General Liu Kui took his feet off the tables, stood up lazily, and saluted lazily.
The master of the mansion did not accept his courtesy at all and stayed close to him with an ugly look on his face.
"Why are you meddling in other people's business?" he shouted in a low voice, "I'm just patrolling your city to catch any deserters!"
General Liu laughed and looked sarcastically.
See, follow the rules? You found someone to tell you the rules so quickly!
"These deserters are involved in murder cases, no less than bandits, so they are naturally responsible for arresting them," he said.
The master of the mansion looked at him and smiled mockingly.
"You are responsible for arresting them, but this court is responsible for deciding and approving them." He said, "After investigation, the guilt of these seven people is unknown, and they are specially released."
General Liu looked furious.
"Fuyuan! This document is clearly written! How dare you speak nonsense!" He shouted, taking the documents on several cases and shaking them.
The master of the mansion looked at him and smiled.
"So, you don't accept my sentence?" He asked, "Are you, a small patrol general, questioning me, a fifth-grade manor?"
There is a disparity between civil and military officials, especially with his current low status. It is absolutely impossible to argue with a civil servant who is much higher than himself.
What a follower of the rules!
General Liu's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth.
Just then someone spoke outside the door.
"General, general, the documents from the Ministry of War are here!" a junior colonel shouted, rushing in with a volume of books in his hands.
Hearing this, General Liu was overjoyed, while the people in the palace looked slightly stunned.
What documents should be issued at this time?
Could it be….
Thinking of a possibility, Master Fuyuan's expression changed.
General Liu here had already opened the document and burst into laughter.
"Master Fuyuan." He turned around and said, shaking the document in his hand, "I, a small patrol general, dare not argue with you, sir, but the document of conviction from the Yamen of the Ministry of War has come down. If you have any questions, just
Go to the Ministry of War to argue!"
For this small deserter, even adults at the level of Minister of War came forward!
There must be something fishy when something goes wrong!
Sure enough, sure enough, there must be some big shot behind this.
At this point, since things can no longer be suppressed, let them be.
Thinking about the war in the northwest some time ago, Wang Butang was evacuated and Liu Jun was killed. Even now, the court is still quarreling about the northwest war, and there is almost a fight in the court.
He, a member of the Jingzhao Mansion, dare not compare with those adults who are capable of playing the right role.
"In this case, it is a matter for the Ministry of War, and I will leave it alone." Master Fuyuan said neatly, without even looking at the document, he turned around and left.
General Liu sighed.
"These literati have really trained their legs and feet." He said, while looking at the documents again, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "Why was it really approved?"
He just tried to explain the paperwork and handed it over. Logically speaking, this small northwest battalion was still a camp where soldiers escaped privately, and the Ministry of War would not pay attention to it if they were too full.
Why did you ignore it this time? And act so quickly?
General Liu scratched his head. As expected, he had already said that they were all unruly.
On the other side, in an official hall of the Ministry of War, an attendant handed a bowl of tea to a red-robed official.
"...Sir, do you really want to question these deserters?" the attendant asked in a low voice.
The red-robed official drank the tea in one gulp.
The beauty of this sencha is that when you drink it all in one gulp, the spiciness will flow straight to the soles of your feet.
"...I'm not doing it for them." He put down the tea bowl and said slowly, with a square face, upright and upright, with the dignity of a high-ranking person, "...I just think that deserters are too arrogant...they dare to escape.
Now that we have arrived in the capital, we can see what the state of military affairs in the northwest is like! It must be thoroughly investigated!"
It turned out that it was for this purpose, and the staff understood.
"Although Wang Butang has been dismissed, the foundation has not yet fallen." The red-robed official said with a sneer, "The people of the Gao family are still trying their best to revive him. The war has been defeated, and the military affairs have also been defeated. If we don't investigate it carefully,
After checking, how can it be justified!"
The official nodded. There is no official in the world who can withstand the investigation. The key is to get the chance of investigation.
However, he still hesitated and looked down at the document.
This article was written in a hurry. Although it was written by a clerk, because the military commander who dictated it was not clear in his mind, it seemed a bit confusing. There was one sentence that mentioned three words. I wonder if you saw it just now...
"Sir, these deserters are hiding in Taipingju." He finally said.
The red-robed official had closed his eyes to rest.
"It's the same wherever you hide it... Taipingju..." He said nonchalantly, and suddenly opened his eyes mid-sentence, "Taipingju?"
The attendant nodded and handed the document to him to read.
"Oh, what..." The red-robed official took it and looked at it carefully, his expression slightly changed.
Sure enough, he didn't notice it, he was only paying attention to the deserters and the plans based on them.
The attendant looked worried.
"This Taipingju seems to be somewhat involved with Mr. Chen..." He whispered.
"This Liu Kui! Why are you so reckless!" The red-robed official threw the document on the table, his expression changed for a moment, he stood up and sat down again, "Forget it, the matter is over, let's talk about it later."
