Song Mingyue

Chapter 158
Zuo Chengtian Gate, not far from the gate of the Imperial City Si Ya, dozens of people surrounded a gorgeous and exquisite warm sedan, standing awe-inspiring.

Before warming the sedan chair, in addition to dozens of eunuchs, there were also three officials in green robes and more than a dozen officials in green robes. They were the three imperial city officials who were absent from work, the five personal servants commanding, and the six officials who were absent. A marriage officer commanded and a gate guard entered the inner courtyard to command.

There are three clerks, one is the eunuch named Chen Di, who is in charge of all the relatives; the other is Li Tong, who is in charge of all the relatives, and belongs to military officials;

The allocation of the six staff members of the Imperial City Division was originally a configuration of two eunuchs, two military officials, and two civil servants. The absentees not only accounted for half of the employment quota, but were also in charge of the most important organization in the Imperial City Division.

Judging from the extremely respectful expressions of everyone, it is obvious that the people in the warm sedan chair have a very high status.

Time passed by minute by minute, and seeing that the Mao hour was more than half past, Li Tong became a little uneasy, and said respectfully to the inside of the sedan chair: "Teacher, that Zhao Hao holds the sword of the emperor, and has been very favored recently. If Fan Ruo pissed him off..."

Inside the warm sedan chair, there was a cold snort, which interrupted Li Tong's words, and Li Tong was so startled that he immediately fell silent, not daring to speak out again.

Chen Di, who was at the side, said with a sneer in the eunuch's sharp and thin duck voice: "Tai Fu is a high-ranking official of the court, and the officials respect him very much. What is Zhao Hao? An official of the fourth rank , compared to Tai Tuo, the world is far different, and he is only a young boy, why should he be afraid? How can a majestic Imperial City Secretary be controlled by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, it is really absurd!"

Cheng Qun on the side also echoed: "What are we afraid of when we have the support of the Grand Tutor? That kid is new here, and he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. If he doesn't give him a little color, isn't it a joke that he will make a mess of the Imperial City Division in the future? He Zhao Hao Even with the Sword of the Son of Heaven, what can he do if we are not criminals? The Son of Heaven has a deadline of one month to solve the case, and if he does not rely on us, how can he solve the case? Could it be possible to rely on a few slaves in his house?"

The expression on Li Tong's face was a little calm, and the commanders around him also smiled knowingly, with a look of confidence.

Finally, a slow duck voice came from inside the warm sedan chair: "After two more incense sticks, it will be Chen Shi, let's go in!"

Everyone was ordered to adjust their robes, and under the leadership of the three gangsters, they walked slowly to the gate of the imperial city's yamen.

……

In the inner office of the imperial city, Zhao Hao was holding the Longquan sword, sitting on the chair in the center with a livid face, his eyes were full of murderous intent, all the officials around him stood solemnly, but the expressions on their faces were different.

Except for the entourage officer Commander Yang Yue that Zhao Hao met when he beat up Gao Yanei in the street that day, all the other entourage officers and marriage officer commanders have not yet arrived, and there are three more who have not yet arrived. This matter is obviously a big mess .

Some people are in awe of the crowd, some are uneasy, some are gloating, and some are not too serious to watch the excitement.

Dai Liang, the presiding officer, took a peek at the hourglass in the copper pot, quietly walked to Zhao Hao's side, and said in a low voice, "My lord, after another stick of incense, it will be Chen Shi."

Zhao Hao nodded his head slightly, and when he looked up, he saw a group of people slowly approaching the inner office.

Three people in green clothes and twelve people in green clothes, one of them was quite a few, came proudly.

A group of people came in stride, and everyone stepped aside one after another. The three officers were in front, and the twelve commanders were behind. !"

The voice is neither humble nor overbearing, neither hurried nor slow, full of energy, and neat and consistent, it is quite imposing.

Zhao Hao looked at this group of people coldly, as if looking at a group of dead people, the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense, he turned his head and asked Dai Liang in a deep voice: "If you can't do it, what should you do?"

Dai Liang said anxiously: "As usual..."

"Wait a minute!"

Before Dai Liang finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice of the eunuch Chen Di: "Dai Yasi, are you confused? When Taifu Yang is in charge of us and the imperial city department, as long as it is within Maoshi before Chenshi, he will not be there. It’s less than [-], and it’s still within [-] minutes before Chen’s time, so how can it be less than [-]?”

Zhao Hao snorted coldly, the murderous look in his eyes had almost broken through the sky, but he still asked unhurriedly: "The laws and regulations of the entire Song Dynasty started at the time of Mao, so did the old eunuch play new tricks?" ?In this case, why can they arrive before Mao hour?"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Di suddenly stopped shouting, pointing at Zhao Hao and said, "Zhao Tiju, Taifu Yang is the first rank in the court, but you are only an official of the fourth rank, but you insulted the Taifu with your mouth, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Zhao Hao smiled, as bright as the spring sun: "Even if the dead old eunuch came in person, I would say the same thing. As for you not being able to wait, I'm just arguing... Take it!"

Before the words fell, Zhao Dian, Fang Baihua, Qingmu Daochang, Wu Song and others who were already eager to try jumped out behind themselves.

Fang Baihua was the most impatient. Without saying a word, he reached out and lifted Chen Di up like an eagle lifting a chicken, and threw him to the ground, causing Chen Di to faint on the spot.

Zhao Dian jumped in front of Li Tong, and stretched out his hand. Li Tong was a military official, so naturally he stretched out his hand a little bit, and he stretched out his hand to block him. Who knows that Zhao Dian swept his foot, knocked him to the ground, and then stepped on it, Make it immobile.

That Cheng Qun was originally a civil servant, and he had no strength to restrain a chicken. Before Wu Song could make a move, he was pounced on by a hungry tiger from Daoist Qingmu.

The commanders in the back were in an uproar, some backed away in shock, some nervously pressed the handle of the knife to guard, and some drew their swords in their hands and lay them in front of them.

There were three more people who drew their swords and rushed over.

Seeing a flash of figures, Wu Song leaped forward, kicked the person in front of him into the air with a kick, and fell to the ground with a bang, struggling for a long time; followed by another blow The heavy punch hit the other person's chest, causing the person to back up again and again, spit out a mouthful of blood, couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground.

The person on the far right was suddenly tripped by his colleague Yang Yue, and fell to the ground, and then Yang Yue held a knife around his neck.

That Yang Yue was originally Tong Guan's eyeliner in the Imperial City Division, and he had already accepted Tong Guan's order not to have any ill relations with Zhao Hao, and he was an extremely well-behaved and sober person, seeing this situation, he did a favor .

At this time, Zhao Hao also jumped over the desk in front of him, and walked up to the commanders. Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone dared to be arrogant and fell to the ground begging for mercy.

"Who is doing the murder here!"

When the scene was in chaos, there was a sudden shrill and extremely majestic voice, which shocked the expressions of the surrounding imperial officials, and many commanders who had already knelt down and begged for mercy also raised their heads. start.

Zhao Hao looked back, and saw a warm sedan chair, surrounded by dozens of palace servants, coming slowly, getting off the sedan chair dozens of steps away from the inner yamen.

"Teacher, save me!"

Chen Di, who woke up leisurely, was already frightened out of his wits, but when he heard the duck's voice, he was overjoyed and cried out for help.

Zhao Hao sneered, turned around and grabbed, lifted Chen Di's body from under Fang Baihua's feet, held it high in the air, and let him struggle in the air, then turned around and shouted: "Who is it?"

The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and a 60-year-old official dressed in a purple robe and a jade fish bag hung on his waist slowly stepped out of the warm sedan chair, looking majestic.

Officials of the third rank and above wear purple robes and goldfish bags. Those who come here not only wear purple robes, but also wear jade fish bags. The jade fish bags are imperial gifts. Only first-rank officials and princes can receive this honor.

"Yang Jian, strength 45, intelligence 71, politics 35, command 61, health 86."

This dead old eunuch really has the same name as Erlang God...

Yang Jian, one of Zhao Ji's most trusted ministers, has followed Zhao Ji since he was King Duan. After Zhao Ji came to the throne, he was appointed as the Changhua Army's Jiedu Envoy, and finally became the Taifu.According to legend, Yang Jian often accompanied Zhao Ji on private visits in disguise, looking for flowers and willows.

Seeing Yang Jian coming forward, Chen Di, who was hanging in the air, struggled more and more fiercely, shouting "Put me down", but Zhao Hao's arms have hundreds of catties of strength, and his height is a bit taller than him. The dead eunuch was lifted in the air like a piece of paper, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless.

On the opposite side, Yang Jian's face was as deep as water, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Zhao Tiju, your official rank is not high, and your official prestige is not small. You dare to act wild when you see this official!"

In Yang Jian's imagination, the opponent was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and his official rank was six levels lower than his own. Moreover, he had always been famous. Even Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng had to be courteous. This Zhao Hao But how dare a child from a distant clan not give in to himself?

Not only he thought so, but all the officials of the imperial city who were present also thought so.

The arm can twist the thigh. Although Zhao Tiju was ordered to investigate the case, but the so-called high-ranking officials crushed people to death, if there is a difference of one or two ranks, that’s all. is.

Even Dai Liang, the chief officer who wholeheartedly supported Zhao Hao, and Yang Yue, the commander of the subordinate officer, showed a bit of worry on their faces.

Zhao Hao snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and let go, allowing Chen Di's body to fall from the air, and grabbed Chen Di's neck again, locking the throat, and then replied unhurriedly: "Where did the old eunuch come from? If you dare to smack in my imperial city, get out quickly, or you will be beaten with a stick!"

Accompanied by his yelling and cursing, was Chen Di whose throat was locked, and the gurgling sound from his throat was extremely penetrating.

Yang Jian saw that Zhao Hao not only did not have the slightest sense of awe, but became more daring and reckless, trembling with anger, pointing at Zhao Hao speechless: "You, you, you..."

A servant beside him pointed at Zhao Hao angrily and shouted, "Zhao Tiju, Changhua Army Jiedu Envoy and Grand Tutor Yang are here, how dare you be rude!"

Zhao Hao shouted angrily: "In the territory of my Imperial City Division, I, Zhao Hao, are in charge. How can it be your turn to speak, a dead eunuch? I handle the case according to the order, and I have the right to kill first and then report. Chen Di has no respect for his elders and obstructs it If I handle the case, I will kill him to make an example to others! Dead old eunuch, if you are not convinced, you can find an official to make an argument!"

After finishing speaking, with a forceful hand, Chen Di's Adam's apple was crushed with a click, and then Chen Di was like a dead dog, with his head tilted and his hands and feet hanging down limply. Throw it down like garbage, and lay your body on the ground.

In an instant, the audience was in an uproar, the remaining two actors and all the conductors trembled with fright, and there was a sudden unpleasant smell in the air, and Cheng Qun was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot.

Yang Jian never expected that Zhao Hao would be so ruthless. He was stunned for a while, and then woke up like a dream after a long time. His whole body trembled with anger, and hissed, "Come on, take it down for me!"

choke~
Zhao Hao pulled out the Longquan sword, jumped up holding the sword, the long sword was like lightning, the momentum was like a rainbow, and he went straight to Yang Jian.

"I wield the sword of the Son of Heaven, and I'm ordered to investigate the case. I can cut it first and then play it. Those who stand in my way will die!"
