Dugong is polite, Xiaosheng can't stand it

The scholar clasped his hands behind his back tightly, and lowered his eyes: "Changfeng, this time Xiaosheng is sorry for you. You treat Xiaosheng with respect and kindness, but Xiaosheng..."

The scholar asked someone to open the cell door, he went in and sat on the floor, right in front of Lu Changfeng.

At this moment, Lu Changfeng's expression was gone, and his face was gloomy.

The two of them met each other for a long time, and the scholar muttered some trivial things to himself.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard movement outside, the scholar stopped, and was about to get up to take a look, but unexpectedly, the man in black had rushed to the prison here.

A sword slashed at the scholar, and the scholar was pulled back abruptly to escape.

"Changfeng!"

When the scholar came back to his senses, Lu Changfeng had already fallen to the ground. Unexpectedly, Lu Changfeng saved him at the last moment!

Now that he was alone, he still had to protect himself from what he should do, what to do, the scholar hurriedly covered the wound with his hands, but the blood still flowed out from between his fingers, and he couldn't cover it no matter how he covered it.

And Lu Changfeng's pale face and the blood gushing from his chest were reflected in the scholar's eyes, making his nose a little sore, and tears fell down.

"Scholar, I really regret that I didn't kill you back then, you are such a disaster, ahem..."

The scholar watched in a daze as Lu Changfeng finished his last sentence and left. His strength seemed to be taken away as well, and he was powerless to sit in the prison.

(16) imperial decree

All the guards didn't find any trace of the shadow during the chase, and now they couldn't even catch the murderer.

cell--

Lu Changfeng's blood splashed all over the scholar. When Xue Yu arrived, the scholar was standing up. He straightened the wrinkled corners of his clothes as usual with bloody hands.

The scholar made all the edges and corners of the clothes neat and smooth. When he saw Xue Yu standing in front of the cell, he smiled helplessly: "Your clothes were also dirty by Xiaosheng. Let Xiaosheng wash them and return them to you."

"Ah."

The scholar's calm reaction was beyond Xue Yu's expectation. He was very calm, and even had the mood to take care of his clothes.

When Xue Yu walked by him, the moment he rubbed shoulders, the scholar grabbed his sleeve, and the scholar whispered: "Xue Yu, please, Xiaosheng, Lu Changfeng is dead, why should his body be treated like this?" ?”

No matter how calm the scholar pretended to be, he couldn't hide it. He clenched his sleeve tightly, but Xue Yu also clenched his hand behind his back. He glanced at the dead Lu Changfeng on the ground.

It doesn't matter whether Lu Changfeng is dead or alive, as long as this group of traitors are wiped out, the mission will be over. It's better for Lu Changfeng to die. It's much better to be hacked to death with a sword than to be executed with a knife.

Xue Yu wanted to push Zhao Yuqing's hand away, but Zhao Yuqing held on firmly, but how could a weak scholar win over Xue Yu?

Xue Yu pulled his hand away even more frequently, and the guards next to him saw the opportunity and pulled the scholar back.

"Chop off Lu Changfeng's head and send it to the capital, and go on to the sage. The leader of the rebels, Lu Changfeng, was arrested for three days, and he was robbed by his party. On the way, Mr. Zhao Jun, a doctor of the household department, personally killed the leader of the thief, Lu Changfeng."

The guard said yes, and immediately went down to prepare.

The scholar who was about to leave stopped. He could hear every word Xue Yu said behind him, but suddenly he didn't understand what those words meant when they were put together.

The scholar walked up to Xue Yu, grabbed Xue Yu's sleeve, and asked, "What do you mean?"

However, Xue Yu looked at the scholar with a calm expression. The scholar's original calm mask was broken, and the helplessness and panic under the mask were undoubtedly revealed.

Even so, Xue Yu still refused.

"Xue Yu!"

The scholar yelled in the cell, and the guards in the cell were also taken aback. Looking around the government and the public, how many people dared to call Master Xue's name so loudly.

From the time he met the scholar till now, Xue Yu never remembered when the scholar's voice was so loud.

Xue Yu paused for a moment, then strode out.

In the cell, only the scholar was left sitting there with blank eyes. He didn't want to go anywhere now, he didn't want to move anywhere, he just wanted to be alone.

The scholar never wanted to be an official. He didn't want to be able to walk on the tip of the knife all his life. He had to be cautious all the time, otherwise he would fall into the cliff at any time.

After staying in Changning City for less than a month, the imperial decree arrived.

"The decree has arrived."

A guard took out an imperial decree from a sheepskin-sealed roll and held it high above his head. Seeing this, everyone knelt on the ground to receive the decree, but Xue Yu stood alone, which was very eye-catching.

The guard who sent the imperial decree took a look at Xue Yu, the governor of Dongchang, the emperor pardoned him, and he was exempted from kneeling, and he only took one look before opening the imperial decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Zhao Jun, the right and left doctor of the household department, has achieved great results in dealing with the disaster situation. He personally killed the head of the rebels and achieved outstanding achievements. Te Zhao returned to Beijing, hereby!"

"I accept the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

After Zhao Yuqing took the imperial decree with both hands, the guard who announced the decree retired.

Zhao Yuqing held the imperial decree tightly, was he going back to Beijing again? If it wasn't for the imperial decree, he would rather stay in this border town far away from Beijing.

He was also stepping on the corpse and climbing up step by step, but the so-called imperial decree to return to the capital in his hand was a step up in exchange for Lu Changfeng's head.

The scholar already understands that in the officialdom, no one has clean hands, even if he is just a scholar, now his hands are stained with the blood of countless people.

After receiving the imperial decree, he remained silent for a long time, his thin fingers tightly clutching the golden juan cloth.

"what happened?"

Xue Yu looked at Zhao Yuqing in front of him with a funny face.

"fine."

However, Zhao Yuqing just nodded perfunctorily and didn't answer much.

Xue Yu didn't ask much when he arrived, Han Jian, Xue Yu's close bodyguard, made a rare joke: "Master Zhao is considered to have a successful career, when will he marry another lady?"

Han Jian said it jokingly, but for some reason, Zhao Yuqing still smiled and did not answer.

At this moment, no matter what good things happened, it was difficult for him to be happy, and the imperial decree in his hand weighed even more heavily on his heart.

"Three great happy events in life: meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, being named on the gold list, and the wedding night in the bridal chamber. If there is another wife, then the three great happy events in Mr. Zhao's life will be gathered together."

Xue Yu didn't know that his words reminded Zhao Jun.

When he arrived in the capital, he was listed as an official in the imperial court, he found Li Xian, the righteous brother Shangshu, and added a wife. It really was all together.

"Xiaosheng can't even provide for his own food and clothing, how can he harm the girl and Xiaosheng to endure poverty and hunger together."

The scholar put the imperial decree aside casually, and said casually: "Besides, Mr. Xue is not married yet."

As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding guards lowered their heads and kept silent, and the atmosphere was rather frozen.

The scholar was puzzled, and looked at Xue Yu again. At this time, Xue Yu's face was really ugly, but he was still puzzled. Did he say something wrong?

I only heard Xue Yu say: "I can't marry a wife."

As soon as this remark came out, the scholar was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he slapped his head suddenly.

Han Jian, who was closest to them, had a helpless expression, but he didn't dare to show it. How could such a stupid scholar talk about marriage with Duke Du, wouldn't it be a deliberate ridicule.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look, let alone speak, waiting for the bloody storm to come.

At this time, the scholar ran up to Xue Yu and explained seriously: "By the way, Xiaosheng forgot for a moment that Mr. Xue cannot get married. It is really rude and rude."

The scholar said so, and looked up at Xue Yu cowardly. Xue Yu's face was darker than usual, and the scholar was completely out of ideas, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Whatever he said at this moment was wrong, after the scholar apologized, he simply shut up.

At this time, in the capital.

In the hall——

There is a sound of notification!

"Report!"

"Report!"

The messenger who rushed in from outside the hall could be regarded as stumbling, as if something big happened, and kowtowed in front of the hall.

"Report! Your Majesty, urgent report to Rong'an City! Floods are flooding, dams have been breached, plagues have broken out, and hundreds of people have died. Please send someone to rescue quickly!"

The dams were destroyed, the floods flooded, and the plague broke out!

"plague!"

When the civil and military officials in the court heard this, they all took a breath and moved away from the messenger, for fear that the plague would get on them.

The ninety-five supreme being sitting on the dragon chair in the hall had the same expression as before, without a trace of panic, but looked at the expressions of the civil and military officials.

"How do you think you should deal with this matter?"

Above the court, the ministers discussed countermeasures.

Prime Minister Fu Zheng stood up and said, "I would like to report to the Holy Majesty that I believe that the dam erosion should be investigated carefully. The dam of Rong'an City was built three years ago, and it is impossible for it to collapse so easily. This matter should be investigated carefully."

"I think the top priority should be to control the epidemic, the plague is not a trivial matter!"

"Then who should be sent to Rong'an City to investigate the flood burst, and who should be sent to control the epidemic."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers couldn't help but bow their heads and dare not answer the words. Getting involved in this matter at this time is simply asking for death.

But at this moment, Master Li Xianli took a step forward and bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, I recommended Zhao Jun to go to Rong'an City to appease the people and control the floods. Zhao Jun was appointed as the left and right doctor of the household department to help the disaster. At this time, Master Zhao and Master Xue Yu are passing by Rong'an City on their way back to Beijing. It should be the last time. Good candidate."

"Li Aiqing seems to think highly of Zhao Aiqing."

"Zhao Jun is originally from the same town as this humble official, but this humble official has absolutely no selfish intentions."

"I know that Li Aiqing has always been fair and knows how to use people well."

"Come here, pass the decree, Zhao Jun, the left and right doctor of the household department,
