A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 317
Watching the wind made Yang Gongren rush all the way to Lingzhou without stopping.

"Where is Qiu Xinggong?"

As soon as Yang Gongren entered the city, he didn't care about the heavy travel and dust, and asked Qiu Xinggong as soon as he met Wu Huaiyu.

He came in such a hurry this time because of this guy.

Originally, as the imperial envoy of the emperor, his main task was to observe customs, collect public opinions, observe people's opinions and supervise officials. According to the plan, he set off from Chang'an and interviewed one prefecture and one county. But when he was still in Jizhou, he received the emperor's An urgent edict made him rush to Lingzhou.

"Qiu Xinggong is being held in the dungeon."

Wu Huaiyu locked Qiu Xinggong in the dungeon, where there was no light, no sound, no light, and only one meal a day, and a dumb jailer was sent to deliver the meal.

The food delivered was still raw pork liver and dog lung, nothing else.

Wu Huaiyu hated Qiu Xinggong's evil very much, so even though he didn't kill him, he didn't take advantage of him either.

Now Qiu Xinggong has been imprisoned in the dungeon for half a month, eating raw pork liver and dog lung every day, not even a piece of rotten cake,

This kind of confinement, which is almost isolated from the world and abandoned by others, is more tormenting than torture. People with weak will probably go crazy.

"take me."

Yang Gongren originally admired Wu Huaiyu, a young man, but this time he felt that his treatment of Qiu Xinggong was too immature.

"I'll have someone bring him here."

"I will go in person, and you will come too."

Yang Gongren was an imperial envoy, Guannei Dao Guanfeng envoy, and a supervisory official sent by the imperial court, similar to the supervisory governor of the Han Dynasty.

Wu Huaiyu is now the governor of the Lingzhou governor's office and the governor of Yanzhou, who is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Lingzhou governor's office.

Wu Huaiyu is a real local official, and the governor's office allows him to control the local military and political power. The governor of Yanzhou is in charge of civil affairs, and the chief of the military road is in charge of the assembled soldiers.

Wu Huaiyu and Yang Gongdao are not in a superior-subordinate relationship.

But Yang was an imperial envoy.

He represents the court and the emperor.

On the way to the dungeon, Yang Gongren deliberately separated the followers and others,

"Don't you know who Qiu Xinggong is, why did you get involved with him?" Yang Gongren said with a bit of concern.

"It's really that guy's behavior is too cruel and disgusting. Guan Guogong didn't see it. He killed Hu Cao, the governor of Lingzhou, in the street, and tied up his wife. He even cut Han Hu Cao's chest in the street, and took his heart and liver. Roasting wine directly on the street, "

Yang Gongren sighed, he had also heard of Qiu Xinggong's brutality, but the Qiu family had to take care of it, when he came from Jizhou, Qiu He even specially asked him to take care of him.

"Qiu Xinggong's father made great contributions to the country when he dedicated it to the Jiaozhi Fu Tang. Now, although he is old, His Majesty specially ordered him to be the governor of Jizhou in his hometown of martial arts.

Qiu He added the titles of Tejin and Shangzhu Kingdoms, granted the title of Tan Guogong, and added the title of General Zuo Wuhou. "

"I know." Wu Huaiyu disagreed.

"You don't know. If you know, you won't be so reckless. Qiu Hechu was an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then in the Sui Dynasty. It has won the hearts of the local people and made it stable and united.

Qiu He has gone through several dynasties, Guanlong generals, relatives and friends are all over the court and the public. Gao Shilian, the current servant, was demoted from office and intercourse with him, so he got a lot of help from Qiu He. The relationship between the two is very good. Gao Shilian was even sent by Qiu He as a concubine ,"

Qiu He gave a concubine to Gao Shilian as a concubine, and he was also the old man of Prime Minister Gao Shilian. Not only that, Changsun Wuji also took Qiu Xinggong's daughter as a concubine, and Qiu Xinggong was the prime minister's right servant who shot Changsun Wuji old man.

Of course, a concubine serving his father is not a real father-in-law, but this marriage relationship is real.

"Qiu He gave birth to fifteen sons, not only the elder Xing and the second Xing Gong are county magistrates, but he also has three sons who are also county magistrates, the other ten sons are all county marquises, and the fifteen sons are all high-ranking Jinzi officials. "

"Qiu He has more daughters, more than 30 of them, and they are all married to noble and wealthy families. There are even daughters from the Qiu family in the Queen's Palace."

The Qiu Xinggong brothers first raised troops in their hometown, and then went to vote for Princess Pingyang, and then welcomed Li Yuan into the customs together. Later, Qiu Xinggong has been in the Qin Palace, and is Li Shimin's direct descendant Yuan Cong.

In the past, he often did things like killing the enemy and eating his heart and soul, and he often whipped his subordinates and colleagues. Even if he was impeached, he would be reinstated soon.

Firstly, he is brave and capable of fighting, secondly, he is Li Shimin's confidant, and furthermore, the Qiu family and his son have made great achievements and have extensive connections.Based on these, Qiu Xinggong was impeached many times and was able to be reinstated quickly.

You know, Qiu Xinggong was previously promoted to be the Duke of Tianshui County and General Zuowei, but he was impeached so badly that he was demoted to County Duke and Sima, but General Zuowei soon recovered.

The holy family is not bad.

"Even if Qiu Xinggong has a strong relationship, can he do whatever he wants?"

Yang Gongren sighed, "I've learned a little bit on the way here. Qiu Xinggong troubled the Han family and accused them of plotting rebellion. Although there is suspicion of extortion, the Han family is not innocent. The Peng you killed before The Han family is similar."

"It's still a little different. The Peng family planned to assassinate the court ministers twice. This is self-defeating, and it is absolutely impossible to tolerate it, but the Han family did not participate. The Han family has participated in smuggling and smuggling of money before, but these issues, Right now, it's not the main issue," he said.

"If something like this happens now, the Qiu family will stick to it. The Han family can't stand the investigation. When the time comes, the Qiu family will be able to investigate the Han family to the bottom. Their butts are full of shit, and they are all placed in the sun. The Han family will not be able to escape." The end of copying,
At that time, Qiu Xinggong would not be blackmailing, but eliminating thieves for the imperial court. Although he killed people in the street and devoured his heart and liver, it was a little too much, but it was not a heinous crime. "

"If you hold on to Qiu Xinggong, then you will take the initiative to make enemies with the Qiu family, and even involve Gao Xiang and Guojiu."

From the point of view of Wu Huaiyu, the local governor who temporarily takes charge of the affairs of the governor's mansion, Peng and others have been punished, and now Cao Liuhan and others have surrendered, so this is a very good situation. If the fight continues, Lingzhou will be turned upside down and both sides will suffer.

Therefore, Cao Liuhan and other past events will not be pursued.

Qiu Xinggong was only the chief manager of the Lingwu Camp dispatched by the Gyeongju Governor's Mansion. He belonged to the general of the camp. He had no right to interfere with the local affairs of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, let alone blatantly murdered and cannibalized.

Yang Gongren is also aware of this, but the Qiu family has a strong background, so of course they will not let Qiu He get involved in this matter. If they want to get Qiu He out, they must overthrow the Han family. not guilty.

They don't care about the stability, unity and stable development of your Lingzhou.

Things have gotten so big that there is no room for compromise now.

Either the Han family was destroyed and Qiu He came out innocent, or Qiu He was convicted and the Han family was preserved. It is impossible for Han Qiu to be private.

The Qiu family definitely wouldn't care about the Han family either, they definitely wanted to destroy the Han family, and they might even want to bring Wu Huaiyu into it.

"If Yang Gong said so, then I'm sorry, I can't take you to see Qiu He, let alone release him, unless the imperial decree is issued to let me release him, otherwise no one will try to get that Qiu dog from me. Get it out here."

Wu Huaiyu stopped and did not leave.

He understands this matter, the Qiu family has exerted their strength, they are very domineering and unreasonable, taking advantage of the forces in the court and their connections, not only want to fish out Qiu Xinggong, but even make him a hero.

He became a hero, so the Han family is naturally a traitor, the key is that Wu Huaiyu will also become a wrong person.

This doesn't work.

If the Qiu family can come to him first, sit down and discuss this matter carefully, for example, if Qiu Xinggong pleads guilty, and the Han family also abandons the dead Han Gui, there is some leeway in the matter, then it is still possible Anyone who manipulates it, no matter what, can't touch Wu Huaiyu.

Nor can it disturb the stability that Lingzhou is about to restore now.

Wu Huaiyu couldn't accept the Qiu family's current practice.

Yang Gongren didn't expect this young man to be so brave. Although he was not invited by the Qiu family, he also intentionally offered to help him.

But now young people don't appreciate it.

"You have to think about the consequences." Yang Gongren reminded Wu Huaiyu that although the old man is no longer the prime minister, as the patriarch of Hongnong Yang's Guan Wangfang, he is also capable of writing and martial arts, and has a reputation for benevolence and bravery. , will enter the prime minister, the prestige still exists.

He couldn't even imagine that the young people nowadays are so young.

"There's no need to be head-on. It's okay to give in. You're still young, and there's still a long way to go."

"Although I am young, it is impossible for me to accept the behavior of the Qiu family who insisted on stuffing shit into my mouth. It is his fault, and it is impossible for me to take responsibility."

"How about I talk to Qiu Xinggong first, and then communicate with the Qiu family, let them come to you and have a good talk?"

"No need, let the saint decide this matter."

"Guan Guogong has worked hard from afar, I will send Guan Guogong back to rest first, and hold a banquet to clean up the dust for Guan Guogong."

Seeing this young man's determination, Yang Gongren could only smile wryly, then turned and left.

Wu Huaiyu watched him leave, and called the jailer, "Don't give Qiu Xinggong any more heart and dog lungs these two days,"

"Do you deliver food?"

"Start him for three days, let him enjoy the darkness and loneliness."

It's not that Wu Huaiyu doesn't know what's good and doesn't accept Yang Gongren's kindness, it's really the Qiu family's approach, touching his bottom line, it's nothing to wipe someone's ass, but it's unacceptable if he pulls people to eat.

Of course, Wu Huaiyu dared to be so stubborn, not only because he was temporarily taking charge of the affairs of the governor's mansion, but the most important thing was that he had the status of Wailang, a member of the Six-Fan Shuofang Bureau. He was able to communicate directly and secretly with the emperor, and he had already reported the cause and effect of the matter.

Furthermore, he did not believe that Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji, the nephew and uncle prime ministers, would really turn black and white because of this.

As for the Han family, they are really not innocent.

Wu Huaiyu also didn't want to protect the Han family, let alone the promise of a successful family business, or his little mother of the Han family.

If they want to fight this time, let's fight. If there is a big fight, using the hands of the Qiu family to shovel the Han family is not a bad thing for Lingzhou, and it can further weaken the local powerful forces. Of course, the premise is that they fight them Yes, don't let Wu Huaiyu affect him.

Back in the study, Huaiyu sent people to prepare for the reception banquet in the evening, and at the same time began to write a secret book for the emperor of Chang'an. He directly wrote what Yang Gongren told him today, the original one for the emperor.

The emperor's minion, the main thing is the truth.

After writing the long secret booklet, Huaiyu sat there and pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote a long letter, this time to his in-law Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng is now the secretary and supervisor, and also a third-rank official. He has always been outspoken and outspoken, and Qiu Xinggong is suitable for him to poke.He believed that after Wei Zheng got the materials, he would never hesitate or be afraid. Wei Laopao's main character was a lonely and loyal minister, and he followed the route of remonstrance. Qiu Xinggong's background was the most suitable for Wei Laopao.
