Song Mingyue

Chapter 130
King's Mansion of Jinkang County.

In the lobby, Zhao Xiaoqian paced up and down restlessly, seeming to be preoccupied.

Seeing his appearance, the housekeeper at the side couldn't help but comfort him: "The king is relieved, Zhao Hao has just arrived and has no foundation, and the Imperial City Secretary doesn't care about the clan's affairs, so Zhao Hao is doomed this time."

Zhao Xiaoqian stopped in his tracks, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you go for two hours? Look, it's already noon, and you haven't returned all the way?"

The housekeeper said with a wry smile: "There are more than a hundred people in the two groups, what accidents can happen... I'm afraid that the young masters and the young ones will have no importance in their hands, and something big will happen..."

Zhao Xiaoqian looked stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "As long as you don't kill that scorpion, it's not a big deal, but if you break your hands and feet, it's nothing...won't you really kill that scorpion?"

Zhao Xiaoqian's worry is not unreasonable.

Last night, Zhao Hao was really too arrogant. He only came from the clan of Qifu, and he was only a sixth-rank imperial servant, and he was still a junior. , arrogant, how can he not be angry?
Therefore, early this morning, his two sons, Zhao Gang and Zhao Yue, led sixty or seventy rogues to Zhao Hao's mansion, and Zhao Yue led five no. No matter how powerful his family is, they will not be able to stand up to an enemy ten times larger, and there is no chance of a comeback.

The only possibility is that these guys beat people to death without knowing the severity of their hands and feet... Beating the clan to death, but it is a big deal, even if the official is his cousin, it may be difficult to step down.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "Hurry up, send someone to deliver an order, don't beat anyone to death..."

Before he could finish speaking, a house slave came in a hurry: "His Royal Highness, something is wrong!"

Zhao Xiaoqian's heart tightened, but he saw that the person was going to the "Heaven and Earth", and asked anxiously, "Why are you panicking?"

The man said with a sad face: "I waited for the team to go to Yanglou Street. Except for Mr. Yue and the younger one, the rest were all arrested by the Imperial City Secretary..."

Zhao Xiaoqian was shocked, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Zhao Hao is in the brothel? Didn't this king warn you to wait, only to hurt his hands and feet, not to kill Zhao Hao..."

Before he could finish speaking, the house slave almost cried: "His Royal Highness, we have never been able to enter the gate of his brothel. How can we destroy his life? There is a sturdy woman at the gate, holding a sword, leading ten The little lady holding the sword is extremely fierce, and I can't fight in at all... One who enters is kicked out, and two who enter is kicked out. This is all, in the middle of a stalemate, who would have thought that Huang Chengsi would suddenly kill her, Except for Young Master Yue and the younger one, all of them were chained away... The younger one escaped the disaster only by hiding quickly."

"What?" Zhao Xiaoqian was furious.

Fifty or sixty wastes, it's okay to be blocked by a few brothel girls and unable to get in. The key is that the Imperial City Secretary dared to meddle in the disputes between the clans, it was simply audacious.

"Is there any reason for this? How dare the Imperial City Secretary meddle in clan disputes?"

Zhao Xiaoqian was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke, Zhao Hao, a rootless and baseless junior, was just arrogant and conceited, how could the Imperial City Secretary also eat the guts of a leopard?

"Young Master Yue also questioned him, but the leader is humane, he is ordered to do it, and the person he arrested has no clan, so it is not considered to have violated the law..."

The people from the Imperial City Division were right. The clan slaves and the clan's children were originally two different things.

Zhao Xiaoqian was trembling with anger, and said angrily: "It's wrong, it's wrong..."

At this moment, another house slave came rushing over: "His Royal Highness Qi County King, a catastrophe has happened, a catastrophe has happened!"

Zhao Xiaoqian recognized that the man was killed on the way to Zhao Hao's residence, his expression changed, and he asked: "But Zhao Hao was killed?"

The servant's answer once again proved that he was overthinking: "The young ones followed the two young masters to Zhao Hao's mansion, and just when they ran to the door, they saw the rich door open. The crowd rushed in directly. The young one saw that the opportunity was wrong, and dragged behind...but saw that the door was suddenly closed after the crowd entered... The small one could only hear the screams of killing inside, but the effort of two sticks of incense It was already quiet, and there was no more sound... The little one waited for another two hours, but there was still no movement inside, so I had to go back to the house to report..."

If it is said that the news just now made Zhao Xiaoqian furious, the news that came from Zhao Hao's mansion at this moment made Zhao Xiaoqian dumbfounded, and felt a chill rushing from the bottom of his feet to his heart.

He grabbed the man suddenly, and asked in a hissed voice: "Six or seventy people entered with weapons, and they disappeared in Zhao Hao's mansion without a sound? Could it be that there is a net in his mansion... Are you in a daze? gone?"

The man said with a mournful face: "Young master, I can see that it is absolutely true. The young masters and the others did enter Zhao's mansion, and they heard a fight, and then there was no sound... Even the two young masters have no news, my little one." How dare you lie about it?"

In an instant, in the lobby, Zhao Xiaoqian, the officials and all the servants were in complete chaos.

There were more than 100 people in the two teams, one team was captured by the Imperial City Secretary for no reason, and the other team disappeared in Zhao Hao's mansion even more bizarrely, it was simply too weird.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoqian deeply felt that Zhao Hao's arrogance was not arrogant, but mysterious...

Now that even the two sons have joined in, even if they gather more people, it is still a slap in the face, and more than 100 people will disappear without even making a fuss. Who knows how strong Zhao Hao's trump card is?

Zhao Xiaoqian's face became extremely gloomy, and he shouted at the steward: "Follow my king's order, fly to the Imperial City Division quickly, and find them to work for the Imperial City Division... These bastards want to shake the sky!"

Half an hour later, when Zhao Xiaoqian was restless and anxious like ants on a hot pot, the butler finally left and returned.

"His Royal Highness, the Imperial City Secretary has released him."

Zhao Xiaoqian said angrily: "How dare he arrest the king's people?"

The butler said in a low voice: "They just said that they didn't know they were from His Royal Highness's residence, otherwise how would they dare to offend His Royal Highness... As for the loss of the two young masters in Zhao Hao's residence, it was the affairs of the clan and belonged to the Dazong Zhengsi However, he and others said that since they are all descendants of the clan and nobles, they have their own discretion, and the two young masters are safe and sound, and they should return before sunset."

Regarding the safety of the two sons, Zhao Xiaoqian naturally knew very well, no matter how daring Zhao Hao was, forgive him for not daring to do anything to Zhao Gang and Zhao Yue, the key is the ambiguous attitude of the Imperial City Secretary, which made things complicated.

How much energy does this brat Zhao Hao have?

"Young masters are back!" someone shouted outside the door.

"Father!"

As soon as Zhao Xiaoqian raised his head, he saw the two of them coming in crying and crying.

When Zhao Xiaoqian saw it, his expression changed drastically.

The two precious sons standing in front of him don't have the demeanor of the prince's mansion. They are just two beggars. Their hair is as fluffy as straw, and their high-quality clothes are stained with stains. Yes, like a rag, it looks like someone just popped an ass.

It turned out that Zhao Gang and Zhao Yue led six or seventy people into Zhao's mansion aggressively, and they were surrounded by Zhao Hao's people just after entering the door.

That's right, it was a siege, with more than 70 people surrounding [-] people.

Liang Lie and more than [-] house slaves held long sticks to block the gate. The long sticks were forward and their backs were against the gate or the wall, in a defensive posture.Zhao Hao and Fang Baihua were on the side, Zhao Dian and Wu Song were on the side, and Lu Zhishen was on the side.

Although the opponent has 70 to 40 people, they are all rascals, with an average force of about 85. Even Wu Song and Lu Zhishen can settle it, not to mention Fang Baihua with 80 force, Zhao Dian with 80 force, and eat After taking the Dali Pill, Zhao Hao, whose force exceeded [-], and more than [-] domestic slaves.

In the beginning, Zhao Gang and the others said that the other party wanted to die, but in less than a stick of incense, they were knocked down by five fierce men with strength above 80 like wolves and tigers and knocked down 30 people.Immediately afterwards, the domestic slaves who were only defending but not attacking shouted, and they all joined the battle group with sticks. It took another incense stick, and all six or seventy people were brought down—many rogues saw that the situation was not good, and directly surrendered .

So the sixty or seventy rascals, plus Zhao Gang and Zhao Yue who led the team, were all taken prisoner, locked in the woodshed by Zhao Hao, all kinds of lynchings that hurt the skin but not the flesh, who cares if you are It's not the son of the clan... the one who hit was the son of the clan.

When the sun set on the western mountain, Zhao Gang and Zhao Yue were released after being tortured to the point of mental breakdown, and they became what Zhao Xiaoqian saw before them.

Hey~
Zhao Xiaoqian roared like a beast, and hissed: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, the old man wants to enter the palace to face the saint!"

……

The palace, the imperial study.

Zhao Ji, who had just returned from the retreat of Shenxiao Palace, seemed to be in high spirits.

Liang Shicheng followed closely behind, and said with a smile: "The officials have to work together with Zi Xiandao and Mr. Yuan Miao to help each other. I'm afraid the Taoism has improved a lot."

Zhao Ji was in a very happy mood, and laughed loudly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Just as Zhao Ji sat down after the desk, the servant hastily handed over a memorial, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Jinkang Jun Wang waited for the official family for a long time before leaving in the imperial study. I want the servants and maidservants to present it to the official's family."

Zhao Ji was puzzled by the resulting memorial, read it hastily, closed it, and asked Liang Shicheng: "Zhao Hao... this name is very familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment, do you know who it is?"

Liang Shicheng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Could it be that clan that was left behind in the south of the Yangtze River, who was promoted by the officials to be the minister of court and granted permission to enter Beijing because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion?"

Zhao Ji showed a dazed expression, and then stretched out the memorial, with a meaningful expression on his face, and said lightly: "He has just arrived, and he is only a sixth-rank court official. It's interesting that the same clan is secretly running brothels, ruining the reputation of the clan... How does Shou Dao think about this?"

Liang Shicheng had a wry smile on his face, but he said: "Slaves dare not talk too much about the clan's affairs."

Zhao Ji pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "This guy is a slippery head."

Liang Shicheng's face was serious, and he said: "However, the fact that Zhao Chaofenglang secretly managed the brothel may be true."

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows: "Oh... how do you know that Shou Dao has lived in the deep palace for a long time?"

Liang Shicheng said: "After all the officials dispersed, there were a lot of discussions, so slaves and maidservants know about it."

Zhao Ji asked suspiciously: "Are all the officials talking about brothels in the palace?"

Liang Shicheng approached and said in a low voice: "Recently, the brothel opened by Zhao Chaofenglang has been hotly discussed by all officials. It is said that several young masters in Mrs. Cai's house are lingering... Even Zhou Meicheng's old bone is always night. Over there."

These few words are worth [-] guan, which will be paid by Tong Guan.

Zhao Ji's expression changed, and he fell into deep thought.

Zhou Bangyan, with the word Meicheng, is said to be one of the men Li Shishi really loves. I don't know whether Zhou Bangyan loved Zhao Ji, or Zhao Ji loved Zhou Bangyan. Anyway, this romantic and talented old man has always been a pain in Zhao Ji's heart.It's just that the Northern Song Dynasty never killed scholar-bureaucrats, and gave extremely preferential treatment to those with good literary talents. Otherwise, in another dynasty, the grass on Zhou Bangyan's grave would be several feet high.

Even Zhou Bangyan, the half-buried love rival, has become a frequent visitor there, and the brothel may not be easy... Zhao Ji's curiosity was instantly aroused, and it burned like a flame.

"Since it is related to the reputation of the clan, I will go and check it out myself tomorrow."

PS: Wait for another three days, and the double update will definitely resume...
