The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 466
In less than half a day, the matter of Mu Xu ordering his subordinates to beat the Tai students with sticks caused an uproar in the capital under the spread of someone with a heart.

Many literati and censors wrote to the court one after another, demanding that Mu Xu be severely punished.

Things got so serious that Zhao Ji couldn't sit still in the palace, so he hurriedly summoned Tong Guan and Cai You, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

Tong Guan, who returned to the mansion, immediately sent a message to Mu Xu in his own name, asking him to come to the mansion tomorrow to talk about it.

On the next day, with the opening of Duke Ying's mansion, Mu Xu appeared in front of the public for the first time since entering Beijing.

Under the probing gazes of all kinds of people, I saw Mu Xu dressed in fancy clothes, with a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head, riding a Zhaoye jade lion, followed by a group of wolf-like knights, just swaggering through the market .

Sensing the gaze from all around, Le He, who rode behind Mu Xu on horseback, asked extremely uncomfortably, "Master, shouldn't we keep a low profile at this time?"

Mu Xu admired the street scene and explained, "Haven't you seen it yet? Someone is following me. Even if I'm a coward, I'm sure they won't come up with another way. If so, then I'll simply raise my profile and see who is behind the scenes?"

Le He suddenly realized, "It turns out that the village master deliberately beat those Tai students with sticks to lure snakes out of their holes!"

Mu Xu nodded and replied, "That's right, that's exactly what I plan to do! We are single and weak in Tokyo, and the enemy is open and we are dark. If we choose to fight wits and courage with those people, wouldn't it be to use our own weaknesses to attack the enemy?" Is it the leader of the enemy?"

"Then does the village master have anyone to suspect?"

"At first, I thought it was Tong Guan's doing, in order to deliberately add trouble to me, so as to avenge my coercion of him, but what happened yesterday, I am a little confused."

Le He also said in agreement, "What the village master said is true, Tong Guan is determined to become king by recovering You Yun, so he has no reason to make trouble at this time.

Speaking of which, why did the village owner suspect Tong Guan in the first place?After all, if you talk about the hatred for the village master, it shouldn't be his turn! "

Mu Xu didn't hide anything, so he immediately told all the things that happened in Jiangzhou in the past, and finally said,

"Although I left my name under the poem in Xunyang Tower that day, firstly, not many people know that I went to Jiangzhou, and secondly, there are probably many people with the same name and surname in the world. Why can I insist that the poem is What did I do?"

"According to what the village master said, Song Jiang is indeed very suspicious, but he is a recruiter, so he doesn't have such great energy in the court, right?"

Le He frowned and said here, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he guessed in his mouth, "Village Master, you forgot that there is another person, if he comes out to ask Song Jiang, Song Jiang will definitely explain it honestly, and he also has this reason to embarrass the Village Master! "

"You mean Cai Jing?" Mu Xu asked with some uncertainty.

"Exactly. It is said that the old man loved Cai Jiu very much, second only to his fourth son Cai Tiao. Cai Jiu's death was so unclear, there was no reason for him not to investigate the cause of his death carefully.

But now that Song Jiang has recruited security, he doesn't want to take the scapegoat anymore.Therefore, as long as the two of them had contact with each other, combined with the news that the village owner had haunted Jiangzhou that day, it would not be difficult to deduce the truth of Cai Jiu's death. "

After hearing Lehe's analysis, Mu Xu had to admit that it was indeed very reasonable and more convincing than he thought before.

At the moment, his brain turned sharply, thinking that he would see Tong Guan soon, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Just as Mu Xu was thinking, Le He reminded softly, "Village Master, Tong Guan's mansion is here. Hey, I didn't expect Cai You to be here, and he and Tong Guan are waiting for the village master!"

Mu Xu came back to his senses immediately, looked towards the gate of the mansion ahead, and saw Tong Guan leading Tong Jian standing on the stone steps at the door, and a middle-aged scribe standing beside him, it must be Cai You.

Of course, Mu Xu couldn't put on airs because he was showing face like this. When he was still ten steps away from the gate, he reined in his horse and stopped. Salute Road,

"How dare you bother Privy Tong and Cai Shaobao to greet you? It's really shameful. It's a small shame."

Tong Guan and Tong Guan also returned their salutes, and it's okay to keep talking. Cai You smiled and said, "Brother Mu is indeed a good-looking talent. No wonder he has done a great job at such a young age!"

Mu Xufang was about to say a few words of self-effacing, when Cai You suddenly changed the subject, pointing at the dozens of cavalry not far away,

"Tokyo City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. It is a place where the Song Dynasty is the most benevolent place. Brother Mu can only bring one or two entourages with him when he goes out. Why do we need so many guards?"

Mu Xu followed Cai You's words, "I totally agree with Cai Shaobao's words. But I don't know which Mao God I offended. I have only been in Beijing for a few days, and people come to look for bad luck from time to time. In desperation, I have to do more. Bring guards to avoid being bumped into again."

Hearing this, Tong Guanwen immediately scolded Mu Xu for being cunning. He originally wanted to take advantage of this matter to beat Mu Xu, but he beat Mu Xu the first time he met him.

These words are obviously saying that someone is looking for trouble, but in turn, it is not a question of asking the teacher why the court let the Tai students be presumptuous.

"Even though those too many students are wrong, you should bear with them for a while, so why bother with them? You are happy at this moment, but let the old man be called into the palace by the officials, and you will be reprimanded!"

Tong Guan nodded lightly, implying that he wanted Mu Xu to accept his favor.

But Mu Xu said, "Secretary Tong's words are incomprehensible, shouldn't this matter be handled by Kaifeng Mansion and Taixue?"

Tong Guan was angry, and his words were quite unkind, "Whether Mu Zhaizhu is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, this Northern Expedition has a lot to do with it, and the officials have entrusted Ju An and me to take full responsibility.

Originally, there were quite a few people in the court who opposed this matter, but if you make such a fuss again, you are giving those words a reason. Do you know how much pressure the two of us will face? "

Mu Xu retorted unceremoniously, "It turns out that Clerk Tong knew that the matter was important, so I would like to ask, why did those imperial students attack my residence? Is this the court's law?"

After speaking, he looked at Cai You again, and asked righteously, "May I ask Cai Shaobao, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, what crime should he be guilty of crashing into the Duke's mansion for no reason?"

"Oh, Brother Mu, don't be angry, and Clerk Tong, please calm down too! The three of us are on the same boat right now, so we must not let others see the joke because of small mistakes."

Cai You didn't answer Mu Xu's question, but instead persuaded the two of them, and then he made the decision for Tong Guan, ordering the officials of Tong's mansion to arrange Mu Xu's entourage, and then grabbed Mu Xu and walked into the mansion. Don't forget to tell Tong Guan,

"Brother Mu, this is the first time to visit the door, and he ordered people to prepare wine and food, and then invited a few beautiful girls to accompany him, so he must come here so that he will not get drunk!"

Mu Xu had already seen it at this time, these two people were clearly, one was playing red and the other was bad, and they were singing oboe in front of him!
He didn't bother to find out, so he simply pretended not to know, just followed Cai You into the gate of the Tong's Mansion, and finally came to the flower hall, drinking and chatting with them while seeing what their plans were.

Sure enough, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tong Guan gave him a wink, and Tong Kai immediately got up and clapped his hands, and saw all the singers leave their money, and a few servants came up to clean up the flower hall.

When there were only a few people left in the flower hall, Tong Guan said at the right time, "Brother Mu, the officials agreed with your proposal to attack Liao together. However, there is still a big problem in the middle. If it is not resolved in time, the court will be defeated." It is difficult to send troops, and we can only watch the Liao people recover."
