A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 346
A convoy came across the river.

There is also a team of light cavalry guarding the road in front of the convoy. The Qinghai big horses are magnificent, and the riders on the horses are all burly and strong, and they ride their horses like flying.

They gave way one after another on the road.

Wu Huaiyu and the others drank hot tea and ate snacks in the roadside tent, and were also preparing to go on the road.

"Let them go first, we will wait."

Wu Huaiyu waved his hand to stop Chen Sheng who was about to come forward to reprimand him, the place where the Son of Heaven is at the foot of the capital is not even for a moment.

"Who is so rude, rampant on the official road, can't you see that our side is already on the road, what if we bump into someone?" Xin Zhao observed.

Wu Huaiyu was quite calm.

Well, in Chang'an, the most important thing is the rich and powerful, and there is no shortage of slaves.

"It seems to be the Qiu family."

"Qiu's family?" Wu Huaiyu was a little surprised now, did the Qiu family deliberately collide like this?
Wu Huaiyu asked her team to suspend their departure and retreat to the side of the road, letting Qiu's family pass first, but who knew that the knights who led the way from Qiu's family disliked them for being too close to the road.

While the horse was galloping over at an unabated speed, it actually threw off the whip and whipped it towards the side of the road, shouting loudly, "Get out of the way".

Wu Huaiyu sneered.

"The Qiu family is so majestic."

Chen Sheng, Zhao Xin and others heard the sound and immediately stepped forward.

Chen Sheng wrapped his spear around the whip, and the knight was pulled off the horse with a sudden force. On the other side, Xin Zhao cut off the horse's hoof with a knife, and the knight fell off the horse.

For a while, people turned their backs on their backs.

The Qiu family's convoy stopped.

Qu Jia Ding from the Qiu family of the brigade surrounded them in a mighty manner, shouting loudly.

A man in his thirties came down from a carriage in the back, wearing a small Ke Ling scarlet robe and a whitebait bag around his waist. He saw two parts that had been trampled on the soles of their feet, and one whose head had been beheaded. two leading horses.

The man flew into a rage.

He stepped forward.

Then he saw an acquaintance, Wu Huaiyu.

"Qiu Yingqi pays homage to Lord Yi. I don't know what Lord Yi means. Why did he beat me and kill me?"

Wu Huaiyu didn't have much impression of the person in front of him.

"you are?"

"Yi Guogong is really a noble man who forgets things. You have also worked as a servant in the left and right mansions before, and you are always prepared. I just don't work on the same shift as Yi Guogong."

"I don't remember, are you?"

"Qiu Yingqi, the commander of Zuo Tunwei Longquan Mansion, the founding son of Shangzhu Kingdom and Linji County."

"Qiu Yingqi? Who is Qiu Xinggong to you, your father?"

Qiu Yingqi's veins bulged, his face was swollen, and he stared at Wu Huaiyu fiercely, "That's my second uncle, my father's master, Xiali, Shangzhuguo, and Meicheng County are the governors of Jizhou."

"Oh, so it's Qiu Xingze's son. I thought Qiu Xinggong had such an older son."

These words made Qiu Yingqi even more annoyed. He pointed at the steps that were being stepped on, "Please also ask Duke Yi to give an explanation."

Qiu Yingqi is the eldest grandson of the Qiu family. In comparison, Qiu Xinggong had a good official career before, but he was actually a concubine's bastard son, and he had never had a good relationship with Qiu Xingze, the eldest son of his half-mother. The age difference between Xing Gong's uncle and nephew is only ten years, and he was often bullied by this uncle since he was a child.

It should be said that Qiu Yingqi is also a leader among the younger generation of the Qiu family. When he was a teenager, he joined the army with his father, and then followed his father and uncle to serve in the Qin Palace. After the change, Qianniu was given to prepare for the body afterwards, and now it is also the command of the government, stationed in Gyeongju.

"Explanation, you came just in time, and I was about to ask you for an explanation. My country's father came to Beijing today, and his family was here to welcome him. He stopped for a cup of hot tea and was about to leave. However, your servants ran amok. There must be some time for this journey." One comes first, one arrives first, and someone still bumps into someone on the road, how can a slave not understand the rules?"

"Besides, I didn't want to compete with you for this moment, so I deliberately got out of the way, but you slave still dare to beat us with a whip. How arrogant is this?"

Chen Sheng stood up and said, "General Qiu, the ones you collided with were Shangzhu Kingdom of the Dynasty, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Governor of Xiazhou, Governor and Crown Prince Xianma, and Duke Yi. Did you see the festival? Royal gift from the Son of Heaven, you too Dare to charge?"

"This is the next crime!" Xin Zhao made up the knife.

Qiu Yingqi also has honors from the Shangzhu Kingdom. In fact, the Qiu family has four honors from the Shangzhu Kingdom, including Qiu He, Qiu Shili, Qiu Xinggong, and Qiu Yingqi. Qiu He and the Shangzhu Kingdom belong to him. It was given to Jiaozhou as a gift, but Qiu Shili, the Shangzhu Kingdom, was indeed accumulated from one battle after another with Li Shimin.

Of course, Qiu Yingqi's Shangzhu Kingdom was accumulated after the Xuanwu Gate, including some special bonus points, but just like Wu Huaiyu's Shangzhu Kingdom, the gold content is not bad.

But he is just a county magistrate, even if he bears the word "Founding the Country", he can't compare with Wu Huaiyu, the official of four hundred households.

Even his grandfather Qiu He didn't make it to the official seal list. When the official seal list came out, his uncle Qiu Shili boasted that he had worked hard and made great achievements. He was still a close friend of the Qin Palace and fought with Li Shentong and others in the palace, but he still didn't get it in the end. to a real seal.

Not to mention Qiu Xinggong who has been impeached repeatedly.

Qiu Yingqi, a small county magistrate of Linji, is incomparable to Wu Huaiyu, the popular Duke of Yi. As for the duties, one is the governor, and the other is just the commander of the army.

Even if his Qiu family's in-laws are all over the dynasty, the right servant's elder Sun Wuji married his cousin, and Gao Shilian married his aunt, now Wu Huaiyu said that he committed crimes, he couldn't afford it.

Qiu Yingqi is 29 years old this year. At this age, he is already the founder of the county, he is still in command of the army, and he is from a background like Kuzhen and Qianniu Beishen in the Qin Wangfu. His future can be said to be bright, and he is placed in those famous families It is also very impressive.

But compared with Wu Huaiyu, it is far behind.

Qiu He has gone through five dynasties, what about the important officials of the three dynasties?

"Xiaoqiu, I heard that your Qiu family has always acted a bit domineering. I didn't believe it before, but now my country's master does believe it. The little servants even dare to attack the country's duke."

Qiu Yingqi looked ugly. The 29-year-old was called Xiaoqiu by the 19-year-old, but she still had to bow her head and apologize.

"It's all due to the lack of control by the lower officials. These slaves are not open to it. Please, Lord Yi, hand them over to the lower officials, and set a good lesson."

"General Qiu said it so lightly, it is a serious crime to offend the Duke." Chen Sheng said bluntly.

Qiu Yingqi ignored Chen Sheng, and said to Huaiyu, "Duke Yi was resting by the roadside, and he didn't hold a guard of honor. These blind slaves were in a hurry, and the collision was not intentional. Please forgive me for a while. two."

This matter can be light or heavy.

A dignified prince and important minister of the court, if he really wanted to be investigated for the collision on horseback, it would of course be a felony, but if he insisted that he didn't know his identity and there was no ceremonial guard, it would not be considered an intentional collision.

Although Qiu Yingqi made an apology, he was still rebellious.

Wu Huaiyu chuckled.

"Since General Qiu is not good at disciplining slaves, then my country's father will discipline you for you. Come and pull these two slaves of the Qiu family to the middle of the road, each with forty spines."

Qiu Yingqi gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I also ask Duke Yi to let my servants beat these forty."

Wu Huaiyu ignored him.

The Wu family came up, pulled the two begging servants to the middle of the road, stripped off their coats, exposed their backs, and began to beat them with sticks in front of everyone.

Qiu Ying trembled with anger.

Wu Huaiyu didn't give him any face.

This place is close to Gyeonggi, and it was originally by the side of the Wei Bridge. There are many people coming and going, and soon many people watch the fun and eat melons.

Everyone knows the ins and outs at once.

Wu Huaiyu, Duke of Yi, crossed the bridge first and rested here, and was about to start on the road, when Qiu Yingqi came across the bridge over there, the Qiu family went on a rampage, and the Wu family gave way to them, and they even whipped the people on the side of the road with whips , too hindered.

This time he hit the iron board.

"There's a good show to watch now."

"No, this Qiu Yingqi is the uncle of the emperor's eldest brother-in-law,"

"Unexpectedly, Duke Yi would not give the Qiu family any face."

"You don't know that when Duke Yi was in Lingzhou, he had conflicts with Qiu Xinggong. Qiu Xinggong was also impeached by Duke Yi when he was dismissed from office."

"Is it because of Qiu Xinggong eating heart and liver on the street in Lingzhou?"

"Yes, that's all."

"I heard that it was the young master of the Han family who was eaten at that time. It seems that there is a young lady in the Han family who is the concubine of Duke Yi."

······
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, you talk to me about whether it's lively or not.

Vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, steamed corn, and fried peanuts at the bridgeside stalls also gathered around and took the opportunity to yell.

Snapped!
Pop, pop, pop.

One cane after another, Wu Huaiyu said that if there are forty canes, there is no discount at all. Although the person holding the cane is not a questioner in the yamen and has no ancestral craftsmanship, each cane is a real deal. Those two arrogant servants had already been beaten to pieces and passed out.

Even if you are unconscious, you have to finish forty sticks.

After striking forty sticks, Wu Huaiyu waved his hand.

"General Qiu, take your slave back and discipline him well."

Qiu Yingqi looked at the two servants who looked like dead dogs, his eyes were red, not from heartache, but from anger.Angry Wu Huaiyu didn't give face.

The stick hit the backs of the two servants, but it actually hit the face of his martial artist Qiu family.

Qiu Yingqi crossed his hands at Wu Huaiyu, then turned around angrily, and he came in front of the two servants.

Those two people woke up and crawled towards Qiu Yingqi.

Qiu Yingqi looked at these two servants with disgust.

Draw the knife and chop.

Two heads roll.

This sudden scene caught people off guard.

After beheading two slaves himself, Qiu Yingqi kicked the two heads to Huaiyu's feet, "Duke Yi, I promise that these two slaves will never run into you again."

After speaking, Qiu Yingqi turned around and left.

The Qiu family team slowed down and passed slowly.

This move was unexpected.

"This dog slave is so bold. If he dares to shout like this, he should be beaten too." Hou San scolded on the side.

"Impeach him." Chen Sheng looked at Qiu's car and said.

Wu Huaiyu just laughed. When he knew from Gao Huitong that the Qiu family was conspiring to impeach him for treason, he had already started a war with the Qiu family. Start against the Han family, and the war will begin.

The Qiu family suffered a big loss at the beginning, but they didn't intend to admit defeat at all.

That being the case, then there is no hesitation when you encounter it, just head-to-head.

In today's incident, whether it was just the Qiu family's slaves bumping into each other accidentally, or whether they bumped into each other on purpose is hard to say, but since it happened, you can't be cowardly, so let's just treat it as the Qiu family's deliberate collision.

Qiu and the fifteen sons, formerly five county princes and ten county princes, plus his own country prince, because of the last incident, the ten county princes were accepted, and the five county princes became four county princes.

Now that he dares to provoke trouble, it seems that this time he will cut down two more of his family's Four Pillar Kingdom.

"This matter probably won't end. Qiu Yingqi's father, Qiu Shili, is not much better than his brother Qiu Xinggong. He is also a domineering person. Back then, the court fought for merit, but there was a lot of trouble." Chen Sheng said.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth, this battle has not been fought, if you can't, you will show weakness first."

Wu Huaiyu admired Qiu He very much. After going through the dynasties, he was still an important minister of the three dynasties, especially at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was able to stabilize Jiaozhi in the south of the sky, and finally led the land to the Tang Dynasty. Do it, of course you can't be cowardly.

Today's Wu family is no longer the Wu family of the past, and the Qiu family's attack is also different from Wei Zheng's impeachment in the past.

"Come on, go back to the city."
