Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Wai, Wai, Wai..."

"Hey, what are you calling 'Master Steward'! No rules at all, newcomer?"

The new gatekeeper nodded repeatedly, and gasped, "No, my lord, it's surrounded...surrounded!" He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate, "A large group of soldiers outside surrounded our Marquis Mansion. ... Jin Yiwei!"

The steward of the Marquis of Xian'an was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered: "Where did Qiu Ba come from? He dared to come to the gate of the Marquis Mansion to act wildly after eating his heart! Relatives of the state, not to mention Jin Yiwei, even the elders in the court have to give some face when they come in person. Come on, come out with me and see which team is led by a blind leader."

The gate of the Hou's Mansion suddenly opened, and the steward led a team of guards of the Hou's Mansion, stepped out arrogantly and stood on the high steps.

The steward put his hands in his hands and scanned the surroundings of the steps, and saw a vast group of guards in brocade clothes wearing double-breasted long body armor and big hats, completely surrounding Xian'anhou's mansion.Not only the front and back doors, but also around the wall three steps, one post, five steps and one whistle, like a barrel.

On the open space facing the steps, there is a large grand master's chair.Sitting on the grand teacher's chair was the leader of the brocade guard dressed in royal blue woven gold flying fish.

The steward squinted his eyes, looked carefully by the light of the torch, and felt a little bit in his heart: It was actually this Tai Sui!

Shen Qi, the Fusi of Beizhen, nicknamed "Destroying Qilang", is a well-known number one person in the capital. He specializes in imperial cases and important cases, as well as the capital's misconduct, desperation, robbery, and confidential matters, all within the scope of his duties. .This person is ruthless and fond of torture, with countless blood on his hands, he ordered the prison ghost to cry at night.

With such a vicious reputation, the steward had to feel a little bit jealous, and immediately pulled his hands from his sleeves, and with a fake smile on his face, he said: "It turns out that Shen Tong knew Mr. Shen. I don't know that Mr. Shen led troops to surround Xian'an late at night. Hou Mansion, what do you intend to do?"

Shen Qi leaned against the back of the chair, stretched her two long legs forward, crossed them on the round stool in front of her, while holding a wrist-removing sharp knife with a thin blade and short handle, she peeled the peel of the pinpo fruit without raising her head He asked back, "Who are you?"

The steward was secretly annoyed by his arrogance, and swallowed his anger and replied: "The villain is the chief steward of the Marquis of Xian'an. Fortunately, the Marquis valued him and gave him the surname Wei."

Shen Qi peeled a piece of fruit that was as thin as paper and as long as a snake, and it hung down meanderingly on the stone pavement full of puddles, ignoring him.It seemed that he just asked casually just now, and didn't care about the other party's answer at all.

The guard was about to bite off his back molars, and shook his bowed hand, his face changed slightly: "Master Shen, this is an important place in the Hou's mansion, what do you want to lead the team to siege? In case you disturb the Hou, don't you worry?" Are you worthy of this responsibility?"

Shen Qi brought the pinpo fruit to her mouth, "Kacha" bit off a large piece, lowered her eyes and chewed slowly; with the other hand, she held a sharp knife and carelessly flipped it between her fingers.

The sound of chewing was clear and hard, click, click, click... All of a sudden, the steward was covered in white sweat, thinking that what he was chewing was a mouth full of human bones.

Steward Wei cleared his throat: "Master Shen is so rude and rude, it seems that he is here to find trouble, this villain will report to Lord Hou. At that time, I hope Master Shen can really bear the consequences of offending the royal family!"

Shen Qi paused chewing, raised her eyelids, and glanced at him: "Offended? Which eye of yours saw me offended?"

The guard pointed angrily at the soldiers at the bottom of the steps: "You lead a team to surround the Hou's mansion at night, and all those wielding knives and guns are not offending Lord Hou. Do you want to stand guard for the Hou's mansion?"

Shen Qi snorted, with strong sarcasm: "If you dare to ask the Son of Heaven's own army to stand guard for you, the Marquis of Xian'an wants to rebel?"

"Stop turning black and white, and spitting blood!" Steward Wei yelled angrily, and was about to walk away and go back to the mansion to complain to Marquis Xian'an.

But Shen Qi said again: "I'm surprised - my people are clearly standing on the street, not to mention entering the Hou's mansion, they didn't even touch the wall of the enclosure, how could they be offended? Doesn’t the Marquis of Xian’an use the wall as a boundary to divide all the streets where people come and go in the capital into its own territory? Does the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households agree to your division, and the emperor approves it?”

"You—" Guan Shi was so annoyed by his rogue and robber manner that his hands trembled, he didn't say goodbye to him, and turned back to the mansion to fetch reinforcements.

The rest of the guards of the Marquis Mansion stood on the steps, holding weapons, confronting Jin Yiwei as if they were facing a big enemy.

Shen Qi started to bite the Pinpo fruit again, click, click.

Outside the gate of the Marquis of Feng'an's mansion, Xu Yong, the steward, hurried down the steps with a smile on his face: "Oh, Lord Yu! The Lord is actually here in person, it's so radiant, please come in, please come in! Although our Lord Marquis is ill , but hearing the news of the prince’s visit, it makes a person feel refreshed on a happy event, and he is already waiting for you in the living room.”

He personally came to lead the horse bridle for King Yu, with an extremely humble and courteous attitude.

King Yu, however, sat on his horse and said loudly: "No need, this king is not here to visit Marquis Feng'an."

"Didn't you come to visit? The prince brought so many guards..." Xu Yong glanced left and right at the guards of the palace, feeling ominous, suspecting that the king of Yu came here to find fault.

Speaking of which, our Lord Hou still has a feud with King Yu—last year when we set up an ambush to catch assassins in Lingguang Temple, we accidentally injured King Yu's hand.

But that was a misunderstanding!Our Lord Hou has also paid for his gifts, thanked him for his crimes, and sent a lot of gold and silver property.It's been so long, no matter what, this matter should be evened out!

Just as he was wondering, he saw King Yu laughing, "I'm not here to look for trouble, either."

"That's good, that's good," Xu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "The villain dares to ask, what is the prince doing this trip?"

King Yu clapped his hands.

Immediately, four guards came over carrying a low square couch, and placed it on the open space facing the gate of the Hou Mansion.This low couch is a full one zhang square, paved with brocade and embroidered, with a large table in the middle, and a tall canopy erected above it, like a gazebo.

The figure of King Yu kicked off the horse and floated onto the low couch in the gazebo.The guards came over to take off his boots, tidy the upholstery, and put a jug of wine, four cups and a pair of Water Margin leaf cards on the table.

King Yu leaned comfortably on the cushion, and tapped a few cases with his horsewhip: "Here are three good players, and the loser king will play cards."

So three handsome young men dressed as literati were ordered to sit on the low couch and kneel respectfully around the table.King Yu laughed and said, "This king is in the manor. Whoever loses will be punished with three cups of wine."

Xu Yong said in amazement: "My lord, this is the gate of the Marquis Mansion... If you want to play cards, why don't you come in with the younger ones and let the beautiful servants in the mansion treat you well. Look at this place, it's dark and full of rain. It...it's not a place to hang out!"

"This king is interested in this piece of land, why, no?"

"It's not that it can't be done, but... this is blocking the gate! And you guards, just standing around the base of the wall like this, full of knives and guns, people who don't know why saw it, and still I thought our Hou Mansion was surrounded by heavy soldiers..."

"Bastard! Is this accusing the king of using weapons and besieging the mansion? This king thinks the feng shui here is good, so he is happy to spend time here." King Yu raised his eyebrows angrily, and threw the whip at Xu Yong, "Could it be that the king wants to Where to play cards, you still need the approval of Marquis An?"

"No such intention, absolutely no intention!" Xu Yong knew that King Yu was deliberately embarrassing him, but he had no choice but to plead guilty with a bitter face, "Go ahead and play cards for as long as you want. The villain will retire."

He returned to Hou Mansion in despair, closed the door, and complained to Feng Anhou.

Marquis of Feng'an, Wei Jun had his arm cut off last year, his health was hurt by illness, and he was punished by the emperor. His anger hurt his heart, and he will be raised for half a year. The stalk was stuck in his throat and he almost lost his breath.

He asked vaguely, "Apart from being around, what else?"

"It's gone, just surround it, didn't rush in, and refused to leave." Xu Yong replied.

"The visitor is not kind..." Wei Jun panted like a bellows, and asked again: "Is there anything unusual about my brother?"

"Well, let the villain check it out. Fortunately, the Marquis of Xian'an is only one street away, and the villain will come back whenever he goes."

After Xu Yong left the main house, he was too lazy to climb up, so he called two servants and ordered them to climb to the roof to have a look at the situation of the Marquis of Xian'an.Not long after, the servant replied, saying that the Marquis of Xian'an was also surrounded by a group of soldiers.

After hearing the report, Wei Jun thumped the bed and said, "It's clearly targeting my Wei family... No, this matter is very strange. I have to meet with my brother and discuss it. You go and invite the Duke over here."

Xu Yong responded, turned around and left.Wei Jun said from behind him: "Take the tunnel, don't let outsiders see."

Because the Xian'anhou Mansion and Feng'anhou Mansion are very close, a tunnel was dug in the middle to connect with each other in case of emergency.

Xu Yong went through the tunnel and soon arrived at the Marquis of Xian'an's mansion. He saw that Wei Yan was furious: "...a mere Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, so arrogant and domineering, dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's head. Gather all the guards in the mansion and go out with the Marquis, Break up all these rogues!"

The guard in charge persuaded: "Master Hou, those Jinyi guards are all very skilled, and the guards in our house may not be their opponents. In the opinion of the villain, since they can only surround them, let's surround them and wait until dawn to go to court. , sue him severely to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, make Shen Qi suffer the serious crime of taking power and humiliating the relatives of the country, and if he is impeached by the officials, even if he is not killed, his official position will not be guaranteed."

Wei Yan thought it made sense, and nodded with his beard.

Xu Yong entered the door and saluted: "Elder Marquis, our Marquis is also besieged, but it is not Jin Yiwei who is besieging, but King Yu. Second Marquis thinks this is strange, please come to the house and explain."

Wei Yan was impatient to talk to his brother who was panting three times.

Before Wei Jun's accident, the two brothers were quite close, but now that Wei Jun has become disabled, he not only lost the right to speak in the court, but also gradually became a drag on the Wei family.At first, Wei Yan and his wife felt sorry for and sympathized with each other, but as time passed, they became more and more lazy to deal with it, and they couldn't even say a few words.

The so-called long-term bedridden no filial son, the same is true for brothers and sisters.

Wei Yan waved his hand, and was trying to find an excuse to get rid of Xu Yong, when Mrs. Qin, who was beside her, was suddenly stunned and thought of the crux of the matter——

She said: "No, even if there were old grievances, Shen Qi and King Yu would not suddenly attack in such a weird way - especially Shen Qi. King Yu acted carelessly, doing whatever he wanted, and finding fault on purpose was justified. But who is Shen Qi? People, the Lord who doesn’t see rabbits and doesn’t scatter eagles, so openly offending the Wei family, what good does it do him? There must be something strange in it!”

Wei Yan didn't know what to think of, his face paled slightly, and he looked at his wife: "Could it be that... We asked Mr. He to advise, and the matter of dealing with the East Palace was exposed? The prince is behind the siege tonight?"

Mrs. Qin immediately said: "It is possible that the crown prince could not be pressured and jumped over the wall in a hurry; it is also possible that the news leaked out, and the crown prince wanted to come to arrest someone, so he surrounded the Hou's mansion first. No, we must quickly turn Mr. He away, just in case!"

The guard in charge suggested: "Look at the villain, there are so many guards in Jinyi, they have surrounded us like an iron barrel. King Yu's guards are few, so we may not be able to surround them all. Otherwise, let Mr. He pass through first." Tunnel transfer to Feng'an Hou's Mansion, and then send it to another courtyard to avoid the limelight?"

When Xu Yong heard that the Eldest Marquis didn't invite him, he instead invited a hot potato, and hurriedly said, "Second Marquis is still sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Mr. He."

Wei Yan said: "He won't get sick someday, what does that have to do with it? I just borrowed a room in his mansion to temporarily deposit Ke Qing, why, can't this be done?"

Xu Yong had no choice but to agree for his master.

After a while, Mr. He came over from the corridor in white clothes, cupped his hands towards Weiyan and his wife, and said, "Yu Bucai, I have to leave for a while before I can solve the problems of Lord Hou."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Wei Yan always attached great importance to his letter, "Mister has planned a lot for me, now let's avoid the edge for now, and wait until the weather calms down, and then welcome him back to the house."

Mr. Crane bowed again, and walked away brazenly.

Xu Yong led Mr. He through the tunnel and returned to Feng'anhou Mansion.He put the person in the wing room first, then turned around and reported the matter to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun was annoyed: "Brother makes his own decision without discussing it. You don't take my brother seriously!"

Xu Yong persuaded: "Master Hou, don't worry, if you want to solve the plague god outside the door, you have to rely on the Lord Hou to go to court tomorrow."

Wei Jun was so angry that he coughed up blood when he thought that there was no place for him in the court.After finally recovering his breath, he said: "If the Crown Prince, Yu Wang and Shen Qi jointly did this, it would be related to Su Yan. He didn't show up for so long, and he only asked Shen Qi and Yu Wang to take the lead. what for?"

Xu Yong's job as the chief manager is not for nothing, after a little thought, he said in surprise: "He has another trick? Maybe he has already figured out the details of Mr. He, and the inside story of our cooperation with the Vacuum Sect to murder the prince."

Wei Jun said in fear: "No, this Mr. He is a thunderbolt that will explode at any time, and he must be sent out of the mansion immediately... No, send him out of Beijing!"

"But surrounded by the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion outside, how to send it out?" Xu Yong asked.

Wei Yan also asked Mrs. Qin in Xian'anhou's mansion, "...But the second younger brother is surrounded by Yu Wang's guards outside the mansion, how to send him out?"

Mrs. Qin thought for a moment, then decided: "If you can't send it out for a while, then hide it first. Isn't there a secret room in the second uncle's study? Let's hide it first. When tomorrow dawns, if you go to court and make trouble, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to find the Queen Mother to make the decision." , to force them to withdraw their troops, and then deal with Shen Qi."

The persimmons are soft, the Queen Mother's heart is too weak for King Yu, why not take the opportunity to bring Shen Qi down first, it can be regarded as cutting off the opponent's wings.Mrs. Qin intends to do so.

In the wing room of the Marquis of Feng'an, Mr. He played a game of chess, with his left hand playing against his right hand.

Following from the tunnel, the leader of the Seven Killers came out again like a ghost, and said, "Su Yan just led a team of Tengxiang Guards into the gate of the Marquis of Xian'an, holding an imperial decree, saying that he would search the Marquis' mansion and arrest the criminals."

Mr. He dropped a white ball with his left hand, and said calmly: "It's an imperial decree and Tengxiangwei. It seems that the emperor has made a move. Yu Zhi's identity as the leader has been exposed, and the capital is dead."

"Then how do you plan to escape from death, and who is that responder?" the camp owner asked.

Mr. He made a black spot on his right hand: "What's the hurry, when he should appear, he will naturally appear."

The camp owner sneered: "If you don't leave, I will leave."

Mr. He smiled, and raised Nianzi's fingers outward: "Then you go, the gate is there, you can climb over the wall. There are few guards in the palace, but King Yu's martial arts are extremely high, and one person can stop you; Shen Qi The sword wound has not healed, so you should be able to fight, but his Jin Yiwei surrounded him, and your two fists are no match for a thousand hands."

The camp owner said coldly: "Then you and I won't be able to catch him if we fight!"

Mr. Crane withdrew his fingers, dropped his finger again, and said, "If you believe me, wait with me for the time to come. If you don't believe me, you might as well try it yourself."

The camp owner gritted his teeth, thought about it, and felt that there was no better way to do it except to believe in the magic stick again, so he snorted coldly and disappeared out of the window.
