The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 59 A jaw-dropping scene

Just after noon, the weather became hot, the carriage came out of the area of ​​the Golden Knife Gang, Geng Qing lowered his eyelids through the stroking curtain, with a slight frown between Duanfang's brows, and asked the person sitting next to the coachman through the curtain. servants.

"Can you see the angel?"

"See you, a team of more than a hundred people, wearing armor and holding bows, accompanied by a few younger eunuchs. He is an elderly eunuch. I heard the county respectfully call him the military commander."

Out of the deserted long street, there is a bustling market in front of the corner, Geng Qing looked outside the corner of the curtain, passers-by on the street, stalls filled with calligraphy, paintings, pottery pots, amidst the shouting and shouting, turned his gaze back, and said softly Said: "Go to my blacksmith shop first, get some things before going there, and then arrange it."

At the same time, Feihu County Government.

"When the angel came to the small county, it was really full of splendor. Please come to the angel."

The obese county magistrate, holding the tea in his own hand, trembled slightly, spilled some water stains, and put it on the first small table with a smile.

The figure in the crimson round-neck gown, with knife-cut temples mixed with grey, no need to smear light red rouge on the face, raised the orchid finger and gently picked up the tea, and put it on the red lips quite gracefully to blow away the hot air.

"Why are the magistrate Tangtang's hands shaking? Are you still afraid when you see our family?"

"The angel was joking, the officer is so afraid of angels."

At this moment in the back hall, there were still a few young eunuchs standing on both sides with whisks or swords in their hands, and the shence soldiers standing in a row outside the door stood side by side, tightly controlling the entire county government back hall.

There was a soft smacking of his lips, and the first consultant Fu straightened the hem of his robe with a smile, his slightly narrowed eyes were filled with coldness, and put down his teacup.

"What if our family isn't joking with you?"

The hoarse voice was like a fistful of ice and snow stuffed into the back of a person's neck, and the county magistrate Zhao immediately shivered, "Angel, this...how should I say it?"

"Humph!"

Advisor Fu snorted softly, leaned back, looked at him and said, "Beyond the law and kill a county magistrate without authorization, Zhao Hongjun, your county magistrate should have come to an end. However, our family is afraid of you now. If you don’t have the ability, let’s talk about it, but the person named Geng Qing designed it, or An Jingsi?”

County magistrate Zhao panicked, bowed his hands quickly, stuttered and couldn't speak, he probably knew a little about these eunuchs.

Next to His Majesty in the palace, the privy envoy and lieutenant of the Shence Army, Tian Lingzi, is an eunuch who is very powerful in the court. The one in front of him heard that he came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can he, a county magistrate from the seventh rank, deal with it? I had to bite the bullet and say:

"Back to the angel, there are other reasons for this, you might as well accommodate the officer"

While speaking, a guard from outside the door came over and was stopped by Shence's soldiers. After hearing the other party's report, he stood outside the door with the head of his knife pressed down, and he clasped his fists heavily: "Report, look at the appearance of the army, there are people gathered outside the yamen."

"Ok?"

Advisor Fu raised his brows, glanced across the corner of his eyes, looked at the magistrate in the hall, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Is this going to let the common people overpower our family? Jiuyu."

On the side, a young eunuch with a fly whisk came out, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

"Come out with our house and have a look, this Feihu County is about to change." The figure on the head raised his orchid fingers, and when the little eunuchs on both sides came to help him, he got up and walked outside. The fat county magistrate swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stepped Passing the threshold, he quietly waved his sleeves, let the guard follow him, and asked him in a low voice.

"Where's Geng Qing?"

"It's among the common people outside, man." The guard looked at the Shence Army following the group of eunuchs, and lowered his voice: "Everyone is hired. Let the humble official tell the county lord that nothing will happen, and accompany him with peace of mind .”

Hearing these words, the young fox-like smile seemed to appear in front of his eyes, Zhao Hongjun heaved a sigh of relief for no reason, and the steps behind him became much easier.

Outside at this time, the news that the court envoys had entered the city had already spread, and the servants of several big households who had received the news brought the news back, and immediately one after another the carriages left the side yard, and the news was passed and an agreement was made to gather in a certain restaurant .

In Fuyun Building, Ma Huai slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, looked at the three heads of Wang, Li, and Cai, and slapped the table angrily.

"If I had known that the court envoy would enter the city today, I shouldn't have sent the dog to the Golden Knife Gang, and let everyone have a gap with me!"

"It's okay, I can't blame you for this matter. If I encounter Geng Qing's tricks and tricks, I will be more or less suspicious." Someone smoothed things over. After all, they are all famous people in the city. What are they really going to do? Serving tea to make amends, how can we have the face to sit together and discuss things in the future?

The scene calmed down a little from the chaos, and the other two families also nodded and echoed a few words.

"It's just a pity for the gift we sent, but since the court envoy has arrived, we can also go to pay a visit. The envoy can be regarded as having fun with the people. By the way, let us give out our bad breath!"

"That's right, how can the stability of a city be separated from my efforts? After seeing the envoy, let's talk about what the Golden Knife Gang did, and that Geng Qing, who is a yamen official , but they are gangsters, and this time they have to peel off their skins!"

While talking, Ma Huai saw the servant who came downstairs, waved him off, and came over to sit down.

"I just heard that there are many people gathered in the yamen. The servants at home also found out that the envoy seems to come from the palace."

"Eunuch?" Someone frowned.

"Hehe. An eunuch is hard to wait for, so Geng Qing doesn't know how to deal with it. I'll sit down and watch a good show for now, and it won't be too late for us to come out later."

The four people sat around and talked, the long street outside the building was as noisy as before, and there were hundreds of people gathered at the gate of the yamen that stretched away. Advisor Fu pressed the hand of the little eunuch, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, looked around, and squinted his eyes , staring jokingly at the county magistrate following up, his tone seemed to be joking, but there was no trace of a smile on his mouth.

"Zhao Xianzun, what should I do?"

"Don't be annoyed by the angels, let the officials ask."

The fat county magistrate wiped his sweat with his cuffs, and walked forward, his eyes kept looking for someone in the crowd, but he couldn't find him for a long time, so he had to bite the bullet and raised his hand to arch around the people around him.

"All the folks in Feihu County, I don't know why you are gathering at the Yamen. If there is any grievance, the court angel is here, so you might as well speak up!"

Advisor Fu closed his eyelids and nodded slightly.

On the street outside the gate, among the gathered people, someone stepped forward and held up a sign, like a spiritual tablet, "I don't know the name of the angel, but I want to engrave his name on it and put it at home to worship."

Zhao Hongjun was so frightened that Baimaohan came out when he saw the spiritual tablet, but he fell back when he heard the words "put it at home for worship". It turned out that it was dedicated to the longevity tablet.

"Why do you enshrine our family?" The old eunuch standing in the middle opened his eyes and stared at the memorial tablet, his voice did not fluctuate, "It seems that our family has never done anything good to the people here."

"An angel of enlightenment."

A plainly dressed woman squeezed out from the crowd. The fat county magistrate narrowed his eyes when he saw her. He knew the woman, the wife of the blacksmith in Geng Qing's blacksmith shop.

The woman bowed and clasped her hands, "We are all poor people. It has not been a day or two since the county captain made trouble in Feihu County. He was suddenly assassinated by an assassin a few days ago. We were too happy. Now that we think about it, we must know The angel is coming here, and when he found out about this place, he dispatched someone to kill that dog thief!"

Consultant Fu himself would not know whether he had ever sent someone away, not to mention these people's clumsy acting skills, and their words were wrong, which made him feel funny.

'Then Geng Qing has this ability?Our family thinks highly of him. '

Immediately, he raised his hand and waved his sleeves.

"It's all gone, our family knows that you are kind, and the longevity seat is also taken back."

However, the people over there were not leaving, and the man holding the longevity seat came forward and knelt down suddenly, "Please accept the angel, the angel can come to Feihu County, it is because of the honor of our people, if you don't accept it, I won't get up when I wait." .”

Seeing this, County Magistrate Zhao could not have known that this was a drama arranged by Geng Qing, so he took advantage of the situation and bowed his hands.

"Angel, please accept it, don't chill the hearts of the people of Feihu County."

Both sides didn't expose it. Advisor Fu hesitated for a moment, then borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and asked the young man named Jiuyu to send someone to mention his name on the longevity seat, and the surrounding people dispersed in twos and threes.

"I also mentioned the word, when will Zhao Xianzun call that Geng Qing and let our family meet?"

"Angel, the humble position has come."

Before the county magistrate could open his mouth, Geng Qing, who was dressed in men's clothing, came over with a smile on the side of the stone lion on the side of the yamen, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Geng Qing has seen the Chief Manager."

The so-called chief executive was just called by him according to some names in later generations. Anyway, he came out of the palace, and there is nothing wrong with calling him this kind of name. On the contrary, the old consultant Fu over there was stunned when he heard this name. As if he was right on his mind, the powder fell off his face, and he laughed.

"This title is rare and pleasing."

Geng Qing took another two steps forward, and said with a smile: "The chief executive wants to see Geng Qing. It's nothing more than the cause of the death of Lieutenant Gao, and the assassin. The root is in Feihu County and cannot escape."

This is true, with Shence Army at his side, even if Geng Qing pulls everyone over from the Golden Knife Gang, it won't be enough for the opponent to chop.

After a long journey, Advisor Fu, despite his high martial arts skills, still has a crippled body, not to mention his advanced age, it would be good to sit down and eat some delicious food and drink some wine, if this person steals and cheats and takes the opportunity to make trouble, he will be beaten to death at worst.

After thinking about it, he raised his orchid fingers and stretched out to the little eunuch, and glanced at Geng Qing: "Lead the way."

The carriage stopped, and the eunuch with gray hair sat in it. Geng Qing invited the county magistrate to ride with him, and asked Shang Dachun to drive to the pre-booked place.

"Go to the Red Mansion!"

"Red Mansion?!"

The Fat County Magistrate was unsteady, and almost rushed to the lower table. The cup in his hand fell out in fright, and hurried to lift the curtain, wanting to get out of the car, but the Shence soldiers and Yamen servants followed closely behind Lie Changlong later.

Not long after, the same words resounded in Fuyun Tower.

"Red Mansion?!"

Ma Huai stared at the servant who was sent to report the news with a look of disbelief, and the rest of the people around the wine table were stunned for a moment, forgetting the wine jug in their hands, and the wine overflowed from the glass to the table without knowing it.

"Geng Qing, take those eunuchs to a brothel?"

　The scene of going to Chang'an has begun to pave the way.
