Today, Xiao Tang was going to the inn to visit the two witnesses who were willing to testify against Yang Tai for killing Liang Liang and taking credit for the massacre of the village. Fang, who had just returned from the expedition to Fangzhou, had no time to spend more time with Tang Pengxiu.
Thinking of the lively and lovely medical fairy girl, Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Tang Pengxiu originally accompanied him to the west of Beijing, but he often neglected her because of his friendship with heroes and military official duties. Now, in order to look after the person who testified against Yang Tai's crimes,
As a witness to his illness, Tang Pengxiu was willing to play the role of doctor. Although he occasionally lost his temper, he never really complained about Xiao Tang.
In fact, Xiao Tang asked himself and realized that he often subconsciously distanced himself from Tang Pengxiu on the grounds that "big things are the most important thing" and "sons and daughters love each other while heroes are short-tempered". In fact, he still retained some later generations' concepts in terms of feelings, although "three wives"
It is not that he has never had such fantasies about "four concubines, hugging each other", but after all, Xiao Tang first met Xu Sansheng with Su Jinniang, but by chance, he and Tang Pengxiu developed a clear relationship.
The love is deep, and Xiao Tang always lacks peace of mind when accepting the feelings of two women at the same time.
But since I and Pengxiu have put all their thoughts on me, I can't continue to neglect and owe her... Xiao Tang thought in his mind, but before he walked out of the commander's office, a sergeant under his command came.
The report said that Yu Guangting, the prefect of Dengzhou, came to ask for an audience.
Xiao Tang was a little surprised by Yu Guangting's visit. He had not had much contact with Yu Guangting since arriving in Dengzhou. Moreover, he had been comforting the inspectors and supervising military affairs all the way. He was very different from this official who was in charge of the political affairs of the state and the people's livelihood.
They belong to each other. Although Xiao Tang knew from historical records that Yu Guangting was an upright and loyal man, he was currently busy appeasing the states, collecting evidence of Yang Tai's crimes, and getting to know the heroes in the green forest privately. For a while, he had no time to interact with Yu Guangting. Today
I didn't expect him to come to my door on his own initiative.
"Please come soon." Xiao Tang had two brothers, Yan Qing and Shi Qian, looking after him at the Xun Si Dao Inn. It would be okay to go there later. He ordered the officials to invite Yu Guangting into the mansion, and he went to the meeting hall to wait for him.
After a while, Yu Guangting was seen walking into the hall wearing a Confucian shirt. Although he looked elegant, his eyes were full of determination. When he saw Xiao Tang, he folded his sleeves and bowed: "I've seen you before."
Please comfort me, sir!"
Xiao Tang hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, saying: "Prefect Yu, please get up quickly. I wonder if you have anything to discuss with me during my visit today?"
Yu Guangting's trip was to report Yang Tai's dereliction of duty and favoritism. He passed the imperial examination and served successively as the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple (in charge of sacrifices, court meetings, and banquets with wine and wine in the countryside). After that, he was transferred to Dengzhou, Nanyang to do this.
Not long after the prefectural officials discovered that the military department on the southwestern route of Beijing was bending the law for personal gain, the army was in a state of chaos.
Yu Guangting originally wanted to report the crimes of Yang Tai and others, but he found out that Xue Kewen, the prison chief, seemed to be colluding with Yang Tai. Not to mention that his official document had to be submitted by the county magistrate, bypassing Xue Kewen directly.
Report to the court. Now that the court is busy fighting for power, who will care about him, a local magistrate who has lost power?
Seeing that the local military was getting slack, the bandits in Dengzhou were suppressing more and more people. The anger in Yu Guangting's heart became more and more intense day by day. On the same day, Xiao Tang and the commander killed two soldiers and horse guards, and quickly pacified Fangzhou.
After the bandit rebellion, Yu Guangting made up his mind to consult Yang Taiben through Xiao Tang. He could no longer sit back and watch his rule become more and more unstable.
Yu Guangting took a deep breath and said loudly to Xiao Tang: "This time, Mr. Xiao is supervising the military affairs in the south of Beijing according to the official order. I wonder if he will gain something?"
When Xiao Tang heard Yu Guangting's question, he got straight to the point, but he wanted to show off a little bit, so he calmly replied: "Of course there is still some gain, but I don't know what Master Yu means?"
Yu Guangting snorted coldly and said: "I also know that although there are imperial guards in various states and counties, they are old and weak, and they are repeatedly prohibited from making projects to provide food and wages for the customs. The country has spent all its money, but there is no use at all! Worse!
It is often the case that a general will kill a good officer and take credit for his merit, forcing the people to turn to thieves. On that day, Mr. Xiao killed Hu Youwei in Fangzhou in anger as a warning to others, but I don't know whether Mr. Xiao wanted to eradicate the culprit? Or was it?
Just doing a show?"
Now that he had made up his mind to sue Yang Tai, Yu Guangting, who was already upright, could not help but speak a bit more harshly, even questioning Xiao Tang. But Xiao Tang smiled calmly and said leisurely: "Go and live."
There are clouds in Wuxin Cave, and the cloud nests are lonely and dense. I know from a distance that this place is extraordinary, and the fragrance of flowers in the streams and rocks is strange."
Yu Guangting thought about it. This poem was written when he visited Qiyun Cave in Lianhua Mountain before he became an official. He really didn't expect that he had already been noticed by Xiao Tang. At this time, he heard Xiao Tang say: "I have heard of Brother Yu for a long time.
That's it! Back then, I heard that Brother Yu was recommended by the Cao Supervisor to participate in the imperial examination. He was originally ranked among the best. However, he was admitted to the Ministry of Rites and ordered his brother Yu Shilang to be the examiner of the imperial examination. Brother Yu was deposed because of the reason of avoiding suspicion. Brother Yu
But Hao didn't take it seriously and returned east calmly.
It was also the year of the Great Competition. Brother Yu once again entered the imperial examination in the Ministry of Rites. He was selected as a Jinshi by Mo Chou and was roll-called in front of the court. Only then did he become an official. It seems that people like Brother Yu despise fame and pay more attention to the country. It is known that Dengzhou regarded him as an official.
The people are like sons, and they are dedicated to benefiting the people. I admire and respect the Zhijiao. Now, the military commander who is supposed to guard the peace of the army has instead amassed wealth, brought trouble to the army, and wants to get rid of the thieves and then be happy. Brother Yu is not the only one?"
After Xiao Tang spoke candidly, Yu Guangting immediately beamed with joy, and he quickly said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Xiao is famous for his righteousness, and he has indeed lived up to his title as a knight! It's just that Yang Tai's fellow is cunning, and he has an affair with Xue Kewen, the Secretary of the Constitution.
....."
Before Yu Guangting could finish his words, Xiao Tang shook his head and sighed: "The military officials are of different types. I can't do anything about Xue Kewen for the time being. But now that I have all the evidence of Yang Tai's crimes, I will teach that guy to be punished by the national law!"
Yu Guangting was already satisfied with Xiao Tang's promise. After all, his power as a comfort envoy was limited, and his supervisory authority was limited to the military department. It was not like the kind in a drama novel where he would go on patrol with Shang Fang's sword and have "
The nobles and heroes who have the supreme power to knock the king unconscious and kill the slanderous ministers below.”
While verifying Yang Tai's various illegal crimes, Xiao Tang also intended to get closer to Yu Guangting. Although court officials like him were unlikely to be useful when Xiao Tang launched his rebel army in Green Forest, people like Yu Guangting and Li Gong
Such loyal ministers and good generals who died heroically in times of national calamity may not be able to return home together with Xiao and Tang...
At this time, in an inn at the gate of the east city, Tang Peng Xiu had just prepared a bowl of soup for the witness of the Xiong'er Mountain murder case, Zhang Fang, who was once Yang Tai's commander.
At this time, Zhang Fang was coughing violently like an old and disrepaired bellows. He was now suffering from tuberculosis and was terminally ill. Although Tang Pengxiu had the ability to rejuvenate, in this era without antibiotics, there was no timely medical treatment. At this time, Tang Pengxiu could only try his best to treat the symptoms.
Slow down Zhang Fang's condition so that he can survive for a while longer.
Zhang Fang tremblingly picked up the medicine bowl and drank the soup and medicine together. He sighed longly and said: "Alas... I was ordered by Yang Tai to sit down and behave like this. If I hadn't read
As for my wife, children, and children at home, this life should have been taken away by God a long time ago... Now I only hope that I can atone for my sins before I die and that I can rest in peace."
Tang Pengxiu was not as lively as usual at this time. She carefully took care of Zhang Fang and took the medicine. She also comforted him and said: "Uncle Zhang, don't think too much. You need to rest more now. If you can change it, there is nothing better."
, now Uncle Zhang just wants to give justice to those innocent and kind people?"
After all, Tang Pengxiu was personally taught medical skills by the two great doctors Tang Shenwei and Qian Yi. He not only learned their medical skills of hanging a pot to save the world, but also their broad philosophy of treating patients equally and being benevolent as a doctor. During this period, Zhang Fang was tortured by guilt and illness.
He had long since lost his human form, and was disheveled and haggard all day long, making people avoid him. However, at this time, a beautiful girl with a blue heart and a bright heart took good care of him. Zhang Fang had already shed tears of gratitude to Tang Pengxiu, and he looked at him with tears in his eyes.
Tang Pengxiu's lips moved slightly. Although she wanted to thank her again, she was choked and speechless.
Tang Pengxiu smiled sweetly at Zhang Fang and Officer Li, another witness in the Niuershan murder case, and said, "Okay, you guys should rest early. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
Admiral Li looked at Tang Pengxiu who walked out of the guest room gracefully, and sighed and said: "Well, they all say that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil, but that fairy-like girl treated us brothers so kindly, how can we do it again?
Just living without conscience?"
Zhang Fang coughed violently again. After hearing what Officer Li said, he couldn't help but nodded heavily. Two drops of hot tears suddenly fell down and hit the quilt covering him...
Tang Pengxiu walked out of the guest room gently. She stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and stretched out her little hand to gently beat her waist. She looked towards the front door of the inn and sighed quietly. She thought to herself: That bad guy clearly said that today
It will come, why hasn't it arrived yet?
"Miss Pengxiu, it's getting late, you should go to bed early." At this time, Yan Qing walked out of the guest room next to him. He saw Tang Pengxiu, who looked a little resentful, and advised her.
Tang Pengxiu smiled gently at Yan Qing and said, "There's no rush, Brother Yi, I'll wait for him."
Yan Qing is a sweet-hearted person. Along the way, he has already seen the subtle atmosphere of estrangement between Xiao Tang and Tang Pengxiu. After thinking about it again and again, Yan Qing said to Tang Pengxiu: "Miss Pengxiu, although my eldest brother is sometimes
I have been busy every day, but I don’t mean to neglect you, so don’t think too much.”
"He is a person who does big things, how can he always be distracted by me?" Hearing Yan Qing stir up trouble, Tang Pengxiu couldn't help but sigh again: "But don't put in good words for him, it's all me from the beginning.
I put my mind on him first... I am just wishful thinking, how can I compare to the deep love between him and Jinniang?"
The more Tang Pengxiu talked, the more aggrieved she felt. Maybe that bad guy really felt that the girl's family was not reserved enough. Although she reluctantly agreed to be with me, she still couldn't accept me from the bottom of her heart, right? Thinking of this, her eyes also felt slightly sour.
Already.
But Yan Qing shook her head and said, "Miss Pengxiu, you are mistaken. To me, Brother Xiao is treating you like this because he has placed you in his heart."
Tang Pengxiu was startled, and she quickly asked Yan Qing: "Really? Why didn't I see it?"
Yan Qing smiled and said: "Brother Xiao is a devoted person. He and Sister Su lived and died together, and they naturally love each other. However, Miss Pengxiu, although you met Brother Xiao later, you can
An indissoluble bond has also been formed. If Brother Xiao happily flirts with his new love and leaves his old love behind just because he has another woman, what kind of person will he become? And he will put you, Miss Pengxiu, behind.
What kind of person do you think you are? The eldest brother is treating Miss Pengxiu politely now, but it is precisely because he and Sister Su are both in his heart. I think Miss Pengxiu... I just need to give my eldest brother more
In time, he will definitely not let down the beautiful lady."
Tang Pengxiu is just a fan of the authorities, but she is also a very smart woman. After listening to Yan Qing's analysis and thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the same truth. But when she turned quiet into joy, she suddenly blushed, Yan Qing is Xiao Tang
There were close confidants around her, but Tang Pengxiu and Xiao Tang were asked to be advised by a man from outside, which made her feel shy again.
Seeing that Tang Pengxiu looked embarrassed, Yan Qing stopped saying anything. He just said goodbye and went back to the room, leaving Tang Pengxiu standing there alone with a charming look on his face...
It was already a quarter of the twelfth hour. Except for two or three wine shops, vendors and pedestrians from all over the city had basically gone home to rest. However, thirty or forty masked people in black came out from the back alley of the inn where Yan Qing, Tang Pengxiu and others were staying.
, gathered together along the alley, one of them covered his mouth and nose with a black scarf, when he looked at the deserted inn in the night, a pair of moves suddenly burst out with a shrill and fierce light!
