Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 46

Qian Chonghou didn't resist, neither did Liu Sangen, and was kidnapped in a blink of an eye.

Li Chengye looked at the Gui Shujun who were busy, and murmured, "Sanlang, is Uncle Six wrong?"

Han Ping'an could sense his emotions at the moment, and even imagined that he was about to commit suicide, so he murmured, "Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference."

"Don't coax your sixth uncle." Li Chengye looked behind him and laughed at himself: "At this moment, in this situation and in this situation, employing people who are about to die is also good at the situation."

"Uncle Six, I didn't expect you to be very humorous."

"What is humor?"

"This is an original word I created, which means that I can make jokes."

"Go back and teach Yu'er, let her also learn to be humorous, and life will be interesting when she learns. You can't be like her mother, who only knows how to be jealous."

"Yu'er is your daughter, so there's no reason for me to teach you."

"I nodded. You are her husband now. If you don't teach anyone, you can fight if she doesn't learn."

"No, marriage can't be so hasty. You have to teach her well before marrying her to me."

"It's too late, I can only entrust her to you."

"In time." Han Pingan looked at Qian Chonghou and others who were being escorted away, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Six, this matter is not as simple as you think. In fact, Qian Chonghou was also bewitched by others."

Li Chengye subconsciously asked: "Kang is old?"

Han Pingan looked in the direction of Tuncheng, and said disdainfully: "Kang Youling is just a fool who fights for power and profit. He is far behind Qian Chonghou. At least Qian Chonghou is loyal to you, and he has nothing to say to his subordinates."

"Who else is there besides Kang Youling?"

"Uncle Six, you really want to know."

"I want to die knowingly, and I don't want to die in peace."

"Since you want to know, you can't die for the time being. Let's go to Tuncheng together. The General's Mansion is more lively than here. If you don't watch it, you will regret it."

Li Chengye was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "So An Fuyan also has a role?"

What a weird thing, he has already come to this point, but he still thinks that General An is unlucky.

Han Pingan was confused by him, so he could only say meaningfully: "His trouble is bigger than your trouble, otherwise Lin Zhongcheng wouldn't have come here in person."

Li Chengye was overjoyed, he laughed and said, "Let's go and have a look. Your father invited me to watch the show, even if you die, you have to let me finish the show first."

……

Tuncheng, the General's Mansion.

Six piles of bonfires were lit in the spacious yard, and dozens of candles were lit in the lobby. The lights were brightly lit, like day and night.

Lin Zhiyuan, the deputy governor of Anxi Metropolitan Government and the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, sat cross-legged in front of the bill table. He neither tasted the delicious food and wine on the bill table, nor lit the lamp to handle official duties. Listen carefully and attentively.

Even if you don't send someone to inform you in advance, the forts and beacons along the way will rush to report, so that the general can call his generals, the noble merchants of Yele City, and the officials of Baiyun Temple. Monk Hu went out of the city to meet him.

Lin Shijun came very suddenly this time, there was no news before, and he arrived in the evening.

As soon as the soldiers of the Jiedu Shifu came, they took over the four gates of Tuncheng and the entire General's Mansion. Without the permission of the accompanying Yatui, no one was allowed to move around at will, let alone enter and exit at will.

Shi Zeshan felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't leave again, so she could only bite the bullet and help the housekeeper to arrange delicious food and wine.

Unexpectedly, just as they were getting ready, Shi Xianning, Bai Zuojian, Ashina Shan and Mifatai's son Mitif arrived with a camel caravan full of various gifts.Even Ashina Sai of the Fire Temple in Yele City came in clean and tidy new clothes.

"Everyone, General An is on his way back. This courtesy cannot be broken. Please wait here for a while. After General An comes back and pays his respects, I will wait for the notification for you."

"Thank you Wu Yatui, we are not in a hurry."

Shi Xianning handed over the gift list respectfully, then bowed and stepped aside.

The same is true for Bai Zuojian, Ashina Mountain and Mitif.

Shi Zeshan quietly pulled Ashina Sai to a corner, and asked eagerly, "Who told you to come here?"

"The servants of the City Lord's Mansion asked us to come, Mr. Shi, where is Mr. Lin?"

"Listen to the preaching of the false preacher inside."

"Cui Han is in there too?"

"I didn't see Cui Han." Shi Zeshan and Shi Xianning, who was standing opposite and looking this way, nodded with a smile, and said calmly, "The envoy didn't send someone to inform the general's mansion when he came to Yele, but he told Cui Han first. It's kind of weird."

Ashina looked back, touched his mouth and said, "Cui Han and Xu Haoran have been tossing for more than ten days, but they haven't made a name for themselves. It should be fine."

"Don't be afraid of [-], but be afraid of just in case."

"Then what to do."

"Just wait and see."

The two were whispering, when Xu Haoran's dishonorable Thief Catcher unexpectedly came, led four players, carried two large wooden boxes, and went straight to the lobby.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wangli, the executive officer of the Thief Arrest Agency, and several night watchmen locked the four gangsters into the public house on the west side.Those four people had gray cloth covers on their heads, not only could they not see their faces clearly, they could not see their figures clearly because they were too far away.

Feeling that something was wrong, Ashina Sai went out without even saying hello to Shi Zeshan, but was stopped by a personal guard as soon as he went out.

"There is an order from Wu Yatui, you can't go out without his approval."

"I...I want to go convenient."

"It's not convenient either!"

Ashina Sai broke out in a cold sweat and quickly retreated.

This is too impatient, Shi Zeshan just wanted to tell him a few words, suddenly found that Ashina Shan was staring at her coldly, his eyes were full of anger, she quickly pretended to be dry and turned to pour water.

Just staring at each other for about an hour, there was noise outside.

Going to the door and looking around, only General An, Han Shimei and others arrived. They straightened their clothes and armor while walking, and went straight to the lobby to meet Mr. Lin.

After about half a stick of incense, Wu Ya sent a message to call everyone to the lobby to meet him.

The Sogdians of Yele have always followed Shi Xianning's lead. Although Shi Zeshan is not the Sogdian of Yele, she still has to follow behind Shi Xianning on this occasion.

After tidying up his appearance, he lined up, walked into the lobby nervously, and bowed respectfully amid Wu Ya's ups and downs of notification.

"Wu Yatui, please take your seats."

"promise!"

It was only then that Shi Zeshan realized that the lobby had been rearranged, and there were many small desks on both sides. The desks were empty, and there was no food or drink.The same is true for the few cases that rely on the public case. All civil and military officials, including General An, are guarding an empty case.

All the ornaments on the east wall were taken down, Xu Haoran and Yu Wangli were standing by the wall guarding the wooden box.

Look at Lin Shijun again, wearing a purple robe, although his white hair is gray and his face is wrinkled, but he is energetic and not angry.

Shi Zeshan was not Zhengzheng, but a clerk, so she was naturally not qualified to sit. Seeing General An looking over, she quickly walked around and stood behind the general.

Mr. Lin waited for everyone to sit down, and asked calmly: "Officer Han Tui, have you settled the affairs of the military city?"

Han Shimei hastily clasped his hands and said: "Reporting to Zhongcheng, it's done. Qian Chonghou, Liu Sangen and other principal culprits have been arrested and are waiting outside. The rest of the fugitives have been escorted to Yele City and handed over to General Wang's subordinates for custody."

"Where is Li Chengye?"

"Li Chengye has no way to lead his troops. He doesn't want to stabilize the morale of the army. Instead, he talks about the court and complains about General An. Half an hour ago, he even declared before the battle that he was willing to die with the fugitives. Under the persuasion of Quanzi and Yichang Chen, I repented."

Quanzi... he was talking about Han Sanlang!

Shi Zeshan's heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked around.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The legendary Han Sankuang actually stood behind Lin Shijun, looking at this side with a smile.

Lin Shijun looked around at the crowd, and asked coldly: "So Li Chengye is to blame for the corruption in the military city?"

"Zhongcheng Mingjian."

"Qian Chonghou and others colluded with the Yele tribe to rebel, did Li Chengye know about it?"

"Reporting to Zhongcheng, this official and General An have just returned from inspecting a few Jiji prefectures. As soon as they came back, they met Qian Chonghou and others who defied the military order and ran away. What is the secret behind the Yele tribe's rebellion? The official didn't even have time to ask. Cui joined the army."

"Where's Cui Han?"

"The subordinate is here."

Cui Han sat far away from his position in a low position, and he quickly got up for fear of making you lose sight of it: "Reporting to Zhongcheng, the rebellion of the Yele tribe does have hidden secrets, and the connections are intricate and intricate, and the next official can't explain it for a while. .”

Lin Shijun frowned slightly: "Didn't you investigate it, why can't you explain it clearly?"

"The Yele tribe rebelled, and the people in Yele City were in a state of panic. The subordinate officials had to sit in the town to suppress the rebellion, and they also had to pay for the food and salaries needed to counter the rebellion. Moreover, Yele City and Baisha City are far apart. The matter of the Yele tribe's rebellion is being investigated. The upper and lower officials can only support in the middle."

"Then who did the investigation?"

"Reporting to Zhongcheng, Han Shiyu left an official document before he left, ordering Xu Haoran, the former grain officer of Yele Town, to try to arrest the thief captain for Yele City, and set up a thief arresting agency in the front yard of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to investigate and deal with Yele's troops. Why did you rebel and so on?"

"Catch the thief?" Lin Shijun subconsciously looked at Han Shimei.

Han Shimei knew Cui Han's difficulties. After all, what he was going to say next was not only about An Fuyan, and he didn't dare to pierce this pussy with his courage.

In fact, Lin Zhongcheng knew that Saburo did all of this, but some things were justified, and if he didn't make clear what should be said, and didn't make things that should be rounded up, it would not be enough to convince the public.

Besides, he had been an inspector for two years before coming to Yele, and he had lived with his son in Jiedushi's mansion for two years. Lin Zhongcheng liked Sanlang very much, so he didn't have to worry about that incomprehensible brat at all.

He pretended to be embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Reporting to Zhongcheng, I'm an official... I neither have nor have the right to order Xu Haoran to try to arrest the thief for Yele City. If Ruo... Ruo Ruo didn't guess Wrong, it should be the dog's doing."

"Sanlang?" Lin Zhongcheng looked behind him.

Han Pingan scratched his ears and cheeks, and grinned silly.

Han Shimei hurriedly said: "The dog is stubborn, and the lower officials have no way to teach the son. It's the fault of not raising the father. I implore Zhongcheng to punish him."

Lin Shijun's face darkened: "What's going on?"

Han Shimei pretended to hesitate for a while, and said with a sad face: "At that time, the lower official went to celebrate Cao Wulan's birthday with the idea of ​​narrowly dying. Only the dog knows where to hide."

Cui Han was frightened out of his wits, pointed at him with trembling fingers and exclaimed: "Han Shiyu, so the officials and Yichang Chen are all listening to your son's orders these days?"

"Nizi, get the hell out of here, and plead guilty to Zhong Cheng!"

"Han Tuiguan, this is the lobby, not the place where you teach your son."

Lin Shijun scolded, then turned around and asked: "Sanlang, tell Grandpa, did you steal your father's official seal?"

Han Pingan said without hesitation: "Grandpa Shijun, my father's things are mine, that's called taking, not stealing."

"So you took it."

"Ah."

"Is it useful?"

"Yes, I know what you want to ask, I did it." Han Pingan reached out and picked up a grape from Lin Shijun's case and stuffed it into his mouth.

Han Shimei looked embarrassed, General Wang saw it enviously in his heart, after all, not everyone's son is so smart or so bold.

Cui Han secretly felt that Yichang Chen's suggestion was too correct. If he hadn't reminded Crazy Saburo to steal his father's official seal and let Crazy Saburo take care of everything, it would be so troublesome in the future.

Ashina Sai was so frightened that his legs were trembling involuntarily.

Shi Zeshan realized that he was in serious trouble, so she moved back calmly, but bumped into something, and when she looked back, it was a night watchman staring at him expressionlessly.

Shi Xianning was worried, Bai Zuojian's face was livid, Ashina Shan couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere and wanted to stand up to plead guilty, but was pushed back to his original position by the night watchman behind him.

An Fuyan looked around at these flustered and abnormally behaving clansmen thoughtfully, his face was a little more dignified than before.

Lin Shijun was getting older and liked children more and more. He looked at Han Ping'an with a smile and asked, "Sanlang, do you know that it is a serious crime to steal official seals?"

"I know, but I can't take care of it at that time. They are going to kill me and my father. They are almost dead. Who cares whether they will be questioned or not."

"A gentleman does something and doesn't."

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a child."

"Hahahaha, listen, he's reasonable."

Han Pingan helped Lin Shijun hold his shoulders as if he was a child, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa Shijun, in fact, I am not reasonable, but just confident."

Lin Shijun enjoyed his massage very much, and asked with interest: "Why are you so confident?"

Han Pingan lay on Lin Shijun's shoulders, looked down at Shi Xianning, Bai Zuojian, Shi Zeshan and others, and said confidently: "With Grandpa Shijun as your great backer, I am not afraid of anything in Anxi. But don't worry. , I will only give you face, and I will never bully men and women to embarrass you."

"When I really grow up, I will learn to compliment grandpa in different ways."

"I'm speaking from the heart, not a compliment."

"Okay, let's talk about what you have done with your father's official seal first. If it is used on the right way, grandpa will back you up, and no one will dare to question your sins."
