Red House Shoufu

Chapter 159

In Wanping County Yamen, Xie Mingde was upright in the main hall, and he was about to leave after a sentence of impeachment.

Wu Zhengya hurriedly stopped him, and said with an apologetic smile: "Either I will not send people, even if I send this group of yamen servants, they will not be able to enter the gate of Nan'an Palace. If not, their lives will also be thrown at the gate of the Palace!"

While explaining, he secretly gestured to the squad leader next to him.I saw the team leader clasped his fists and bowed, begging Xie Mingde for mercy: "Master Yushi, what Eryin said is right, even if the villain goes, the Nan'an Palace will not let the little ones in. And... the little ones' water and fire sticks , can't match the sharp blade in the hands of the royal family's soldiers!"

Xie Mingde also understood that Wu Zhengya and the group were telling the truth, but today he promised one person that Huo Qiu's scandal would spread throughout the capital, and that Huo Qiu would be tried publicly.

He straightened his official robe and straightened his official hat: "Major of Wu County, I will accompany the officials of Wanping County to go there today, I want to see if this Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is not a den of dragons and tigers, it is so lawless! "

……

The Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County is highly regulated, with a majestic halberd and stone lions standing in front of the gate.

Xie Mingde led a group of soldiers, together with Wu Zhengya who led more than a dozen yamen servants, stood in front of Nan'an Palace.Compared to the majestic gate of the mansion, the two of them looked extremely small.

When the servants of the palace who were guarding the gate saw Xie Mingde in Xiezhi's official robe, they went in and closed the gate.

Wu Zhengya peeked at Xie Mingde's stern face, and wailed in his heart, but his face was serious.

He ordered the left and right: "Call the door."

The team leader took a deep breath, stepped forward, and slammed the gate of the palace: "Wanping County is handling the case, and the door is not open yet!"

With a creak, the small door next to it opened, and a group of domestic servants holding swords poured out, the leader should be the steward of the palace.

I saw that the steward looked arrogant, not only was he rude, he didn't even bend his waist: "Who are you? How dare you come to the county prince's mansion to be presumptuous!"

"This steward, please inform the county prince..."

"Bold, little domestic servant, you are rude to the imperial court officials, and your swords are facing each other. Are you planning to rebel?"

Compared with Wu Zhengya's weakness, Xie Mingde opened his mouth directly.If it comes to talking about lip service, the official censor is definitely the first step.

As soon as the word "rebellion" came out, it not only interrupted Wu Zhengya's words, but also shocked the arrogant steward of the palace.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just saw you..."

"I am the official of the imperial court, patrolling the city and the censor. You are a small man in charge of the palace, and you are so arrogant and domineering. Come here, take this guy down for me, and you will be punished twenty times!"

Xie Mingde took the lead and ordered the soldiers behind him to take down the steward of the palace.But the people in Nan'an Palace are used to being arrogant, so they don't pay attention to the young official in green robe in front of him, even if the embroidered picture on the official robe is Xiezhi representing Yushi, they still draw their swords to face each other.

"Hehe, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is so majestic, how dare it resist the law enforcement! The servants want to hurt the court officials, and those who dare to use the knife for treason will be executed on the spot!"

Patrolling the city censor, serving the heavens to inspect, and going out is an imperial envoy, representing the supreme authority of the emperor.

To draw swords against each other is to fight against the imperial power.At this time, the servants of the county prince's mansion who drew their swords and pointed at Xie Mingde had already stepped into the palace of the king of hell with one leg.

The soldiers behind Xie Mingde pulled out their sabers with a clatter, and shouted in unison: "Fengtian patrols, kneel down and don't kill!"

When the city patrolling censor goes on tour, he will be protected by the city patrolling imperial army.After drinking three times in a row, the group of bullying domestic servants dropped their swords and knelt on the ground in fright.

The patrol guards escorted the steward who had been punished twenty times to Xie Mingde and knelt down in front of Xie Mingde. Xie Mingde looked at him condescendingly and said slowly: "I won't kill you, you go in and tell Nan'an County King that Huo Qiu and a married woman Tong J (harmony), causing serious injuries, I saw it with my own eyes. Today Wanping County is investigating and arresting the bandit Huo Qiu, please hand him over!"

After all, with a wave of his hand, the imperial guards threw the steward back to Nan'an Palace, and waited quietly for the other party's reaction.As for the group of domestic servants kneeling on the ground, they didn't dare to move under the blade of the forbidden army.

……

In the main hall of Nan'an County King's Mansion, the county king Huo An kicked away the steward who reported: "Trash! You can't handle these things well, get out!"

Then he glared at Huo Qiu who was hiding behind the old concubine, and helplessly greeted his confidant beside him: "Chang Wei, bring someone out of the house with me!"

……

The gate of the palace opened slowly. First, two groups of soldiers of the palace with sharp knives hanging from their waists, followed by Huo An, king of Nan'an County, came out accompanied by his confidant Chang Wei.

"Where did you come from Lengtouqing, who came here to bark your teeth? Wu Zhengya, are you impatient?"

As soon as he left the mansion, Huo An blew his beard and stared, and asked repeatedly.

Wu Zhengya, who had dealt with Huo An many times, immediately bowed and replied: "My lord, I just came to invite the son to have a cup of tea at the Wanping county government office and ask some questions."

Huo An snorted coldly: "Hmph! When did the little county government dare to interrogate my son?"

"Although the county government office is small, it is also where the majesty of the court lies. The county king, as a martial artist of the court, actually ignores the dignity of the law!"

Seeing Wu Zhengya being suppressed by Huo An, Xie Mingde responded politely, choking Huo An speechless.

Huo An, who has always hated scholars, took the usual approach, and said rudely: "You bastard, it's not up to you to take care of what this king does. Hurry up, or else, don't blame this king for being rude!"

He coldly ordered the soldiers of the palace: "Anyone who dares to step on the stone steps of the palace will be killed without mercy!"

Xie Mingde ignored the soldiers who had already drawn their swords, and pressed forward step by step.

Huo An, who originally thought that Xie Mingde would retreat, was taken aback by the other party's actions, and the guards of the palace next to him were also frightened into refusing to move, and even backed away again and again in fright.

Among them, one of the young guards suddenly seemed to be stunned. After taking a few steps back, he closed his eyes and slashed at Xie Mingde with the saber in his hand.

"Stupid!..."

"madman!……"

This is Huo An's opinion on this hands-on soldier and Xie Mingde.

Attacking Yushi, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that this is something that must never be touched.The reason for doing this was just to frighten Xie Mingde and prevent him from rushing into the palace.

But if he really hurt a censor, I am afraid that the impeachment memorial of the Tongzheng Secretary tomorrow will drown him.

clang!
A feather arrow directly knocked the knife that was slashing at Xie Mingde into the air. The first time he saw the feather arrow, Huo An swished and hid behind Chang Wei.

It may be that he has done too many bad things with a guilty conscience. He almost thought that someone had come to seek revenge just now.

"Zhang Xing (Xie Mingde's words), what's the matter? Why did you use the knife?"

A surprised but friendly question came from not far away, and several guards including Wang Qi, Lin Shu, Wang Huan and Fuquan in full-dress came riding over.

Fuquan reined in his horse and stopped, the bowstring on the longbow in his left hand was still shaking slightly.

Xie Mingde quickly bowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to Mr. Wang and Mr. Lin. Thank you for saving this strong man!"

Wang Qi and others got off their horses and returned the gift, he helped Xie Mingde up: "What's going on? Why did you have a conflict with the county king?"

"My lord, when I was inspecting Nancheng today, someone in Chongbei Fang shouted for help. After I led people to arrive, I found that it was the prince's son of Nan'an County..."

Xie Mingde told the story loudly, and Huo An's face gradually turned livid.

Just as he was about to stop him, Lin Shu said slowly: "The king of the county is really powerful, and the censor who patrols the city represents His Majesty's will, the laws of the country, and the majesty of the law. The king of the county dares to let you If someone hacks at Xie Yushi with a knife, will he dare to swing a knife at His Majesty in the future?"
