Chapter 797 Indiscriminate official appearance, catching thieves and looting
Xiao Jieshuai? Xiao Tang!?
Although the tent had already been set up at the lower end, Governor He's expression changed immediately when he heard this. How could he not know that Xiao Tang was favored by the officials and was rising rapidly in the court?
I have also heard that Enxiang seems to attach great importance to Xiao Tang, but he is a military officer and I am a civil magistrate, and we have not had much contact with each other before. Didn't he go to Hedong Road for official business on orders? There is no reason Why did you come to Yongxing Military Road and Huazhou to look for me?
Governor He vaguely felt that something was wrong. He thought for a moment and then asked the servant: "How many people did Xiao Tang bring when he came to visit? By the way! Did you also say that I was in the house?"
After hearing this, the servant immediately replied: "I'd like to teach you, sir. Although Xiao Jieshuai came here with about twenty or thirty people, according to your wishes, the doorman just said that he was busy with official business, and the doorman who knew the guests had just taken over his shift. I don't know what happened. Shi is not in the mansion, so at the moment I just ask Xiao Tang and others to wait for a while, and then report to Xiao Jieshuai when the young one comes to the mansion to see clearly."
Governor He nodded gloomily, and immediately ordered his servants to report to Xiao Tang that he was out of the city for inspection and would not be able to return home for another hour or two. At the same time, he hurriedly summoned the rest of his cronies to capture Yu Jiaozhi and the others. The three women were gagged and tied up, and then moved to their own side courtyard through the back door of the mansion.
The 50 and 60 nursing home servants in the mansion acted according to the order of Grand Administrator He. However, after a while, Grand Administrator He suddenly heard a burst of shouting and cursing coming from the gate of the mansion, and the servant who had just been pissed ran back and said He hurriedly reported to Prefect He: "Sir, something bad has happened! I followed your orders to deal with Xiao Tang first, but unexpectedly the fellow suddenly became furious and ordered his followers to take action and knock down all the twenty or so guards!" "
He Taishou was shocked when he heard this. He thought that those who come are not good and good people will not come! At this moment, another steward of the mansion suddenly ran over in a panic and said hurriedly: "Sir, please press the button. Xie ordered the four young ladies to be tied up and taken out of the back door. Before they could be escorted into the van, a dozen big men suddenly came out. The younger ones were unable to withstand them, so those women were beaten by the gang. The bird took it away!"
"What? You're a stupid ass! What's the point of raising you?"
Governor He was shocked and angry. He pointed at the servants and shouted, "Although he does such shameful things in private, he is always on guard against being used as a basis for others to bring him down due to such scandals." Xingjun Road Tidian Prison Department has received enough benefits from his filial piety. If he hears that envoys from the Central Yushitai in the capital and other central agencies that supervise local and state capitals come to inspect, Prefect He will also make preparations in advance. The women he had imprisoned had all moved elsewhere. Who knew that Xiao Tang suddenly came to his residence today, and he had never interacted with him? This taught Prefect He how to be on guard? How to make adequate preparations in advance?
On the other hand, Governor He also knew that he had done too many evil deeds in the past. Although he had an official name to protect him and was a disciple of Grand Master Cai Jing, ordinary officials and people could not help him. However, Governor He was still afraid that someone would secretly do something evil. .So not only were most of the generals serving in the Huazhou Command and Envoy Department were his cronies, but also the official servants of the government, most of them were martial arts masters from the Jianghu or arrested strongmen, and they were all favored by Governor He. Or they were lured by his power and adopted as his minions. Most of the private henchmen in the government offices were good at martial arts. Even if they encountered a master who was extravagant on the road, if thirty or fifty people rushed towards him, most of them would resist. Unstoppable.
At this time, Governor He was in a hurry, and he hurriedly said: "Quick! Whether it is through the front door or the back door, take advantage of the chaos and teach two or three people to sneak out and go to Huazhou to command the envoys and government offices to quickly summon the army and government officials!"
Several servants had just followed Taishou He's instructions to sneak out of the mansion. Only a moment later, Taishou He heard the wails and screams getting closer and closer. Suddenly, two guards flew straight from the side of the corridor.
He came out and fell to the ground hard. Immediately, dozens of stern men rushed out and strode towards him!
Taishou He saw a man with sharp eyebrows and arrogant attitude coming directly in front of him, surrounded by entourage behind him. He condescended and said in a cold voice: "Are you the prefect of Huazhou? Didn't your watchdog say you
Isn't this guy in the house?"
Taishou He chuckled twice and said: "Your Excellency, you are Xiao Jieshuai? There were some private matters in Mo's government that needed to be taken care of, and it was inconvenient to see guests, so I lied to you. I hope you can forgive me. But Xiao Jieshuai went to Mo's privately.
What's the point of hurting my servant in an official residence? I hope Xiao Jieshuai can tell Yu Weiguan."
Xiao Tang smiled coldly and said: "I came here uninvited. Of course, I have something important to do and I want to ask Prefect He clearly. Who is this person? Presumably Prefect He also recognizes him?"
"Gou Guan! What happened to my daughter? You give me back my daughter!"
Governor He's eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw a person flash out from behind Xiao Tang, but it wasn't Wang Yi, the painter whom he had framed and sent away? Wang Yi cursed fiercely, and although his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, but he
He also obeyed Xiao Tang's orders, so although he was trembling with anger, he did not immediately rush forward to fight with the beast in clothes, Prefect He.
Taishou He's face was startled at first, and then immediately darkened. He glanced at Wang Yi, then looked towards Xiao Tang with cold eyes, and said in a dark voice: "Of course this person, who is not an official, knows that he accidentally killed someone and was killed."
I was sentenced to be exiled to the army and sent to Salmon Island, how could I appear here? Where is the official who escorted this thief to the army? Xiao Jieshuai, you are an official of the imperial court. Is it possible that you defied the king's law and saved this thief?
With the army?"
Xiao Tang looked calm when he heard this, and said leisurely: "Prefect He wants to repeat the same trick and fabricate a crime for me? I have trouble in the east of the Fuhe River. I wanted to return to Bianjing to repay my life to the officials, but unexpectedly I met someone on the way.
A group of bandits cut the path and killed two people who were trying to prevent him from being sent away, and also planned to attack Painter Wang. I sent my men to rescue him, and now I am bringing Painter Wang with me to ask you clearly why you made this decision.
Is he guilty of killing someone by mistake?"
Grand Administrator He frowned. He stared at Xiao Tang suspiciously and said: "Shuai Xiao, if he really killed the evil thieves and rescued this army, he would have to be sent to the local prefecture and county government. He has his own official documents."
The officials made written reports one after another and Wei Guan knew about it. But why did Xie come to escort the troops here and then come to question Wei Guan?"
Xiao Tang raised the corner of his mouth and said again: "Prefect He, do you know where I am from?"
"Xiaoguan naturally knows that Xiao Jieshuai is the master of Hebei East Road..."
When Taishou He said this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he secretly said, Damn, it can't be such a coincidence, right? I fell in love with this girl, and I thought he was also an ordinary commoner with no relationship.
, but since he is a foreigner, who can stand up for him? Xiao Tang is from Xiaojiaji, Zongcheng County, Daming Prefecture, and the man named Wang is also from Daming Prefecture. Are they old acquaintances?
Suddenly, Governor He heard some clues from Xiao Tang's words, and he immediately said: "Why did Xiao Jieshuai know this Wang Painter? But how could there be such a coincidence in the world? Xiao Jieshuai returned to Bianjing to report to the court.
, just by chance, I bumped into a murderer and saved an old friend I met back then?"
Xiao Tang breathed a long sigh of relief and said leisurely: "Yes... How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Painter Wang has always been honest and honest by nature. He has never been red-faced or quarreled with anyone. I also
I am willing to vouch for him. Painter Wang has always been cautious in Daming Mansion. How come he accidentally killed someone when he went to the Jintian Holy Emperor Temple in Huashan, Huazhou to fulfill his vow?"
After listening to what Xiao Tang said, Taishou He's face became more and more resentful, and the murderous intent was gone in his eyes. Now Taishou He was sure that the other party was clearly trying to bring bad luck to him, so he said in a surreptitious manner: "Shuai Xiao Jie"
, the case of Painter Wang has not yet been decided by the official. Even if Xie had doubts in his heart, he should have reported it to the Yongxing Military Road Xiansi, but Xiao Jieshuai led the thieves and prisoners to the official residence without permission.
I’m afraid it’s not quite in line with the rules, right?”
"Prefect He, I didn't listen to you, did you? You want to tell me the rules now?"
Xiao Tang smiled slightly and added: "I am a military officer and I am used to being straightforward. If you don't like it, just report it to the court to impeach me. Besides, if I don't break into your mansion, how can I ignore some things?
Is it clear?"
Before Xiao Tang finished speaking, everyone suddenly heard a woman crying: "Daddy!"
