Tang's dining table

What did Xu Jingzong say? Yun Chuquan thought this old guy was farting.

This is the case in itself. Xu Jingzong never said anything meaningful and valuable to anyone in public in his life.

Therefore, Yun Chu's eyes fell directly on the beauty with a curtain on her face. This beauty with fingers as round as green onions was obviously not comparable to those women in Xu Jingzong's family who rode around naked on donkeys.

However, he also found that this woman was actually supporting Xu Jingzong, which showed that this woman's status was not very high, and she was obviously a woman who had served others.

Therefore, this is a kind of person that the Tang Dynasty court can easily see today - widow.

The widow saw the pile of corpses cut into pieces by Yunchu, and smelled the ominous aura coming from the Lu family's courtyard. She did not show any panic or panic expression, but stood quietly behind Xu Jingzong without saying a word. hair.

"What did your Majesty say?"

Xue Rengui is a very straightforward man. He has started to get tired of acting here for so long.

Xu Jingzong looked at Yun Chu and said: "The people you killed are not soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they are just slaves recruited by Xue Rengui from Liaodong."

Yun Chu pointed to the armors worn by the servants and said, "Xue Rengui's crime is unforgivable when he pretends to be a servant and breaks into a house to kill people."

Xue Rengui sneered and refused to argue with Yun Chu.

Xu Jingzong, on the other hand, turned his head and said fiercely to Yun Chu: "Do you believe that I can turn these slaves into real soldiers right away?"

Yun Chu thought for a moment and felt that it was better for him to bear the responsibility of killing Diao Nu, so he remained silent.

"The Cui family is arrogant and lawless, and the Lu family is stubborn and stubborn. If they are killed, they will be killed. It is not a big deal. Your Majesty ordered me to bring the pardon order. From then on, the Yingzhou incident has been settled."

After listening to Xu Jingzong's words, the look in Yun Chu's eyes when he looked at Xue Rengui was a bit intriguing.

"If I had fought with you indiscriminately last night, wouldn't so many people have died here?"

Xue Rengui folded his arms in front of his chest without saying a word, but his eyes fell on Xu Jingzong, the meaning was obvious.

Yun Chuyou looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "These two families are dead anyway, right?"

Xu Jingzong sneered and said: "The whole world is in the process of cleaning up, but the only one who cares about Chang'an's safety and happiness is outrageous."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Cui Mian died so tragically..."

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "Not enough."

Yun Chu looked at the beauty and gritted his teeth and said, "If it's not enough, I'll kill Lu Ting, who's incompetent in doing things. It's this old man who made me unable to follow His Majesty's pace and complete the cleanup of Chang'an."

He surrendered too quickly. "

Xu Jingzong asked Yunchu with a smile: "How did you know that Madam was born in the Cui family?"

Yun Chu smiled and said nothing.

The Yun family now has two noble ladies who were born in the Cui family. One was once the noble young lady of the Cui family, and the other is even more remarkable. She belonged to the Cui family’s female tutor. Nowadays, whether it is Naha or Li Si, , or maybe Yun Jindu was angry with Cui Licui who was educated by them, how could Yun Chu not see it.

Strangely enough, all of Cui's men are proud of their high family status, but for some reason, Cui's women all have the heart to kill Cui.

It's a pity that Mrs. Lu was buried with Mrs. Cui.

"I am a Webster, and I have met the king."

Yun Chu avoided the woman's courtesy and said casually: "Are you sure it's the Wei family and not the Cui family?"

The woman smiled and said: "There are only Wei's daughters in the world, not Cui's daughters."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "What kind of hatred can there be? You can watch nearly two hundred members of the Cui family in the capital die without any intact bodies."

The woman smiled and said: "Don't persuade others to be good without others suffering. Aren't the kings and princes also dissatisfied with Mrs. Cui? Why do you still lament for Mrs. Cui?"

Yunchu looked at the officials from the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Households who had been here for a while, and said indifferently: "I just don't like Cui's mean methods towards the head of Guizhou, and I don't like Cui's way of making money. I don't like these things." There are many ways to manage it, just like what I did to Cui not long ago.

But why should a child be so innocent? "

After saying that, Yun Chu handed over to Xu Jingzong and said: "I'm exhausted, so I have to go back to bathe and rest. If you plan to take me, hurry up and choose a better prison for me, and continue to bathe and change clothes."

Xue Rengui said from the side: "You and I can have a fight now."

Yun Chu remained silent. He felt that there was no need to fight with Xue Rengui. After all, if he fought with Lao Xue, he would most likely be in a weak state for a month or two.

In view of the fact that the wealthy families from Hebei and Shandong have been dealt with, but the gentry from the west of Hangu Pass in Weishan, such as Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang and Du, Yunchu is ready to keep his energy and face it properly. This group of local aristocratic families is known as "Veidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu".

The appearance of this Mrs. Wei has already explained the problem. Whether she is voluntarily preparing to replace the already weakened Hebei and Shandong aristocratic families, or accepting the emperor's order to fill the gap in the aristocratic family, Yunchu must deal with it well.

"We are going to have a big battle eventually, and when that happens, we won't be able to deal with it calmly."

Yun Chu looked up at Xue Rengui and said, "A battle without Pei Xingjian is an incomplete battle."

Xue Rengui said: "Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions. He was very good at food and beautiful maidservants. It was even said that he was a prostitute in the Western Regions. His buttocks were restored and he no longer had the same courage as before."

When Yun Chu saw Di Renjie standing in the crowd at Dali Temple, he shouted to him: "Write a letter to Pei Xingjian and tell him that Xue Rengui said that he is no longer as brave as he used to be."

Di Renjie laughed and said: "Good food, beautiful maids, and prostitutes are words that are indispensable."

Xue Rengui laughed and said, "If these words can cheer up Pei Xingjian, go ahead and say it."

Yun Chu did not laugh, but seriously saluted Xue Rengui and said, "Give me that old pawn."

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "No, I want to take the owl's head back to show to the public. If you ask me to leave and bury him in a grand manner, it is inevitable that someone will be willing to take his life and follow his old path. Do I still need my military discipline?"

You should not extend your hands into my military camp in the future. If you do, don't blame me for chopping off my hands and stamping on my feet. "

Yun Chu glanced at the body of the brigade commander who was lying on the ground surrounded by flies. He picked up his belt and threw it on the back of the maroon horse. He looked back at Xu Jingzong and said, "If you don't have your majesty's order to arrest me, I will leave right now." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "It is the matter of Yushi and Baiqisi to arrest you, not my errand."

"You just said that I only killed a group of evil slaves. As a Marquis, if I kill evil slaves, I will only be fined a copper at most."

Xu Jingzong looked into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "After years of not seeing each other, Your Majesty has missed you for a long time. Also, your sister was too domineering in Luoyang and broke the arm of the princess's mother. Don't you plan to go to Luoyang to restrain her? ?”

Yunchu said in a deep voice: "Let Pei Xingjian come and argue with me."

Xu Jingzong spread his hands and said, "You are very unreasonable now."

Yun Chu said: "I just realized now that reasonable people suffer a lot."

Mrs. Wei said on the side: "If necessary, I can do a lot for the Buddha's daughter."

Yun Chuli ignored the woman and refused directly: "If your man is here, let him run away. I don't bother to deal with women."

After that, he pulled the bay red horse and left the Lu family's gate.

Xue Rengui frowned tightly, but in the end, he did not stop Yun Chu from taking away the body of the brigade commander.

Yun Chu's behavior today was very abnormal. This was not the Yun Chu that Xue Rengui knew. He was sometimes violent, sometimes humorous, sometimes clear-minded, sometimes arrogant, and sometimes knowing how to advance and retreat.

It's obvious that he has put on several layers of masks on his face, one after another, and he doesn't know which face is his true face.

Xu Jingzong looked at Xue Rengui's frowning eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "The result is good, isn't it?"

Xue Rengui said: "This is what His Majesty expected. It is not like Yunchu to not care about anything."

Xu Jingzong said again: "You are in Luoyang. His Majesty already feels at ease, but why does he allow you to come to Chang'an?"

Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty is like a spring breeze in front of Yun Chu. In this regard, I am far inferior to him."

"Yun Chu hates strife, hates cruel officials, and even his majesty is disgusted by no means."

Xue Rengui said: "Isn't this what a gentleman should be like?"

"You said Yun Chu has the appearance of a gentleman?"

Xue Rengui said: "If you do something and don't do something, can't you still be called a gentleman?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a gentleman is really different."

After saying that, he said to Mrs. Wei who was deep in thought next to her: "Madam, don't be surprised. Yunchu is famous for being rude and rude in the country."

Mrs. Wei knelt down and saluted, "I don't think it's rude. On the contrary, I think this is the true nature of a man."

No matter how smart Yun Chu was, he never thought that Xue Rengui would kill Cui, and Lu would be just the result of the emperor's little calculation.

It may even be a result of pleasing a beautiful woman.

The stubborn Xu Jingzong knew that the emperor had only had a fat giant bear around him for a long time, so he got a stunning widow for the emperor, which immediately scratched Li Zhi's itchy flesh.

Then, this old thief who could only stay in the East Palace as a teacher to the prince was suddenly reinstated and continued to become a servant, which is a kind of prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

With Wu Mei around, Yunchu felt that there was no need to interact with Li Zhi's woman, and the best situation was to ignore her.

No matter how powerful a woman is, she can't be more powerful than Wu Mei.

If Wu Mei were to target him, Yun Chu would feel that it would be more terrifying than being targeted by a ghost.

Yun Chu estimated that Mrs. Wei would not live long. A woman who became Li Zhi could easily die. This should be the consensus among women in the Tang Dynasty. But there was one person here who was not afraid of death.

When Yun Chu walked to Zhuque Street, Jiang Tong from Baiqisi surrounded Yun Chu with an apologetic expression.

A red-robed censor seemed to want to talk, but under Yun Chu's emotionless gaze, he wisely chose to shut up.

The aristocratic families in Hebei started the trouble. Now, Li Zhi tortured them for two years and killed them everywhere before choosing to end the matter completely.

Yunchu believed that the group of people who tried their best to stir up the trouble were all dead now.

Things started in Luoyang and ended in Chang'an. This is probably the cruel romance of Li Zhi.

People were coming and going on Zhuque Street, but there were not many horse-drawn carriages, but there were quite a few people pushing chicken carts.

Traffickers and lackeys crowded Zhuque Street, but most of the people from wealthy families stood on the roofs of their houses, watching Yun Chu lead the horse and pull an unknown corpse. Then, he was obviously killed by Bai Qisi. Surrounded by people.

Lu Ting was the most courageous, so he came to Zhuque Street and couldn't help but bow when he saw Yun Chu coming.

The others did not go to the Imperial City, but the news did not fall behind. He knew exactly what Yun Chu was doing there.

Yun Chu raised his head and glanced at Lu Ting tiredly and said, "The matter is over. From now on, you can live your life in a decent manner. You can do whatever you want. Your Majesty will not hold you accountable."

Lu Ting didn't say anything, he just bowed to Yun Chu. Then, many people bowed to Yun Chu from a distance.

After returning to the county government office, the body of the commander of the army and brigade was carried out. I believe he will have a nice funeral. I believe his descendants will settle in Chang'an in the future and worship and offer sacrifices to his tomb as the tomb of their ancestors. .

Yunchu invited Jiang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Baiqi Division, into the official residence. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one sip. Then he said to Jiang Tong, "Do you need me to change into official uniform to receive the order?"

Jiang Tong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty just said that he misses you a little and invites you to stay in Luoyang Prison for a while."

Yun Chu said in confusion: "Only a high-ranking official with two thousand tons is qualified to enter the imperial prison. How can I, a mere county magistrate, be able to enter the imperial prison?"

Jiang Tong looked at the red-robed censor beside him and said, "Censor Wei might as well explain something to you."

Yun Chu took a sip of water and glanced at the red-robed censor and said, "Didn't the Jingzhao Wei family all move to Luoyang? Why are there still Wei family children in Chang'an?"

Wei Qingquan, the censor, said: "Jingzhao is the fundamental place of Wei family, how can it be discarded so easily."

Yunchu put down his tea cup and said, "Since you want to make a living in Chang'an, then you must abide by the rules of Chang'an."

Wei Qingquan said: "What if you don't comply?"

Yun Chu used his left foot as an axis and his right leg as a whip, and whipped Wei Qingquan's chest and abdomen with a breaking sound. Jiang Tong only heard a loud bang, and Wei Qingquan broke out of the window and flew out.

Seeing Wei Qingquan fly out, Jiang Tong stepped back two steps: "Junhou, you are just looking for trouble."

Yun Chu picked up the tea cup again and drank water and said: "If you go to Luoyang, you will be sentenced to prison. The crime is not enough. It is inevitable that some people will say that your Majesty is abusing the law. Now it's better. I kicked four of Wei Yushi's ribs and beat him. The crime is just right for a prison sentence, so no one will say that Your Majesty violated the law."

When Jiang Tong heard what Yun Chu said, he could only smile and shake his head.

Although people in the county government have known for thousands of years that the county master is highly skilled in martial arts, but in these years, the county master has never demonstrated his martial arts in the county government.

Now suddenly someone broke out of the window of the county magistrate's office. Everyone opened the windows of the official office and looked outside. Seeing that the magistrate was still quietly drinking tea with a cup in hand, without any intention of ordering them to come out to help, they decisively closed the windows one by one. Windows and continue working.

Seeing Wei Qingquan being taken away by the servants he brought, Yunchu said to Jiang Tong: "Your Majesty will not keep me in prison for too long, but I hate others making trouble when I am not around. This kick can make him After being bedridden for half a year, I think this time should be enough for me to return to Chang'an.

Let's set off now, otherwise we'll miss the station. "

Jiang Tong said: "It's not too late to leave tomorrow."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Since His Majesty is missing me, we cannot keep His Majesty waiting for a long time. It is best to set off as soon as possible."

Jiang Tong asked: "Can I ride a horse?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's only two days' journey."

When Yun Chu rode the bay-red horse again, Master Liu and others came to say goodbye. Yun Chu said: "Look at home, I'll come back as soon as I can."

After saying that, he took the lead and left the Wannian County Government Office. He didn't see Wen Wenwen, Liu Rengui, or Di Renjie, and he didn't say goodbye to his family. After killing fifty-one people in the morning, Yunchu hurried to Luoyang. .

There is more rain in Luoyang than in Chang'an. Therefore, when Yunchu set off, the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang was under heavy rain.

The rain was a little heavier, and Mang Mountain on the horizon was no longer visible. Wu Mei sat down with difficulty holding her belly, but she couldn't see the chessboard under her feet.

Li Zhi pushed the chessboard, and Wu Mei saw the densely packed chess pieces on it. This was already the end of a game, and it would end in at most seven or eight moves.

"Pregnant women change their clothes a lot. Your Majesty, please don't find it objectionable."

Wu Mei gasped and evened out her breath.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "This is not your first pregnancy, and it's not my first experience either. What can I say?"

Wu Mei put a black stone on the chessboard, took away a dead white stone, and continued to say to Li Zhi: "For a woman, your majesty sent out strong generals to eliminate two families that could only be eliminated by sending out jailers. This can be regarded as a compliment to her." ”

Li Zhi put down a white stone and picked up a dead black stone, then said casually: "When dealing with tigers, it's best to send lions, so that you can talk calmly."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Didn't you say that Yun Chu is a bastard?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "He used to be, but now, he has become an important minister without knowing it. He should not be taken lightly."

"Since Your Majesty thinks that Yun Chu has made progress, I don't believe it. Is it possible that he doesn't understand Your Majesty's intentions and speaks for those damn prisoners? Is he being arrogant because of his favor?"

Li Zhi stopped his right hand from falling, took back the chess piece and said, "He understands everything, but he will still stop it. This is not because he is arrogant, but because this person does not want to see the law being broken.

And he also has some inexplicable kindness. If he didn't take action, he wouldn't be Yun Chu. "

Wu Mei smiled and said: "People who have compassion for the weak are generally arrogant. If you think about it carefully, Yun Chu is indeed such a person. It seems that the bet I made with Your Majesty is going to lose."

Li Zhi put down the last optional white stone and ended the chess game. His other hand was already pinching the giant bear's ear.

Looking at the pouring rain outside the palace, he said happily: "Give me another thirty years, and I will definitely give the world a strong and prosperous Tang Dynasty."
