A sliver of afterglow at dusk sprinkled on the armor of the golden guards on the Xuande Tower, and the illuminated armor was shining brightly, piercing the eyes.Several fast horses galloped past Xuande Gate.

The horse steps on the setting sun, and the sun shines all over the place.

These knights galloped majestically along Tianjie, the crowd panicked and had to dodge in embarrassment, and a cloud of dust rose from Daxiangguo Temple.

Mo Yunxiao saw this scene through the hanging window in Mrs. Song Wusao's room, and she couldn't help sighing: "The government is really domineering," but she thought about it, the original owner of her body also liked to gallop through the downtown area. There is no difference.

The knights shouted in front of the gate of Fanlou, the horses stood up and neighed loudly, and the knights got off their horses one after another, shouting loudly: "Where are the people of Fanlou! Haven't fed the horses yet!"

Several uncles came out in a hurry, and the leader asked with a smile on his face, "Are the officials on business?" The rest of them stepped forward to lead the horses for the knights.

Fan Lou is well-known in Beijing, nobles often come here for banquets, and the general officials here are not afraid of the uncle Yun Zao.

A fair-skinned, hairless knight raised his chin, held up a bright yellow scroll, and said, "Our family is here to proclaim the decree."

While speaking, he swept his eyes into the lobby, and said, "Where's your shopkeeper?" His voice was high-pitched and shrill, and he knew it was an eunuch.

The uncle's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "What did my shopkeeper do, and the government ordered to arrest him?"

"Go! Can our family talk to you!" The eunuch was a little impatient, pushed the uncle away, and walked in, followed by seven or eight followers.At this time, there were many diners sitting in the lobby, the bustling voices were mixed, and the soft music of the singer's pipa was lingering.The uncles wanted to stop him but were afraid of bumping into the emperor's imperial envoy, so they didn't know what to do for a while.

All the diners saw that this group of people was not friendly, and the noisy lobby gradually stopped, as calm as a pot of boiling water suddenly being drained from the bottom of the pot.The several uncles and uncles who shuttled among the diners were also stunned.

The eunuch swept everyone away and uttered four words loudly: "The official has a purpose!"

Everyone was taken aback, no matter if they were diners, singers or uncles, they all knelt down.

Song Mingxuan and Song Wusao, who was still busy in the back kitchen, also hurried over.Song Mingxuan was still holding a pen in his hand, and Song Wusao was still holding two oily hands.Both siblings were surprised.

As soon as the eunuch saw Song Wusao, his originally stern face was all smiles, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Yo! Fifth Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right?"

Song Wusao also smiled awkwardly, rubbing her hand on the worn-out apron, and said rather uneasy: "So it's Li Neiguan, we can..."

Fifth Sister-in-law Song was about to entertain her, but Li Neiguan interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Sister-in-law Fifth, you don't need to be busy, today is a matter of business. You see, the official family came to announce the decree, and our family has to return to the palace after the decree has been announced."

Song Wusao and her younger brother looked at each other, and then asked, "But you came for the Mo family?"

"Exactly!" Li Neiguan replied.

Fifth Sister Song was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The Mo family didn't know about King Jian's affairs beforehand, so why did they come to arrest him?"

"Fifth sister-in-law!" Mo Yunxiao yelled standing in the corridor of the stairs, and then came downstairs and said: "One person does things and one person is in charge. I once had a bad relationship with King Jian, but it doesn't matter. About the Song family siblings and Fan Lou."

Mo Yunxiao's expression was awe-inspiring, revealing a heroic demeanor that made people look down upon death.

Li Neiguan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "What did the Mo family lady say? When did our family say they were going to arrest you?"

Just when the three of them were surprised and puzzled, Li Neiguan slowly unfolded the imperial decree and sang loudly: "The government has a decree!"

Song Wusao and Song Mingxuan hurriedly knelt down, and the Mo family who were watching on the second floor also knelt down one after another, only Mo Yunxiao stood alone.

Li Neiguan's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he raised his voice and sang: "The government has a purpose!"

She was still standing, not moving.

Li Neiguan blushed, and secretly scolded Mo Yunxiao for being dishonest, why did she make a fool of herself here.

So he could only raise his voice again, staring at Mo Yunxiao and repeating: "The government has an order!"

Song Wusao at the side tugged at Mo Yunxiao's skirt to signal her to kneel down.Then she knelt down resentfully.

"You should say that the women of the people take the order." Song Wusao pointed out from the side.

Mo Yunxiao impatiently repeated Song Wusao's words again, but her attitude was very arrogant.Li Neiguan suppressed his anger, and read word by word: "Shangyu, King Jian's chaos caused Xiao Qiang, fortunately, the daughter of the people, Mrs. Mo, escorted me and protected me. I am very relieved. Although King Jian has subdued the law, he will deal with the aftermath. Things to be done. What the court can't take care of in its spare time is the ears of women imprisoned in the thieves' dens outside the city. Men and women are different, and this matter involves great defense. Therefore, I specially appointed the daughter of the people, Mo, to act on behalf of the court. Pass the token, and have full power to deal with the affairs of the imprisoned woman. After the matter is completed, I will reward you generously, and I hope that the daughter of the people, Mrs. Mo, will understand my heart and relieve the people's misery, so as to comfort the hearts of the people in the capital. Thank you!"

After Li Neiguan finished reading the imperial decree, the entire Fanlou lobby was still as quiet as water, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Someone asked others in a low voice: "How? Is it an official for the Mo family's wife?"

"It's not an official, it's a dispatch."

"Sent? What is dispatch?" Another person asked.

"A dispatch is a temporary assignment, and the authority will be withdrawn after the task is completed."

"Oh, what a waste of labor!"

"What a waste of effort!" The man looked contemptuously at the two people beside him, and explained: "The dispatch is not an official position without salary, but there is a lot of money to be made. Moreover, the dispatch is not restricted by all officials, only the official can intervene. Therefore, the authority is frighteningly large. It’s the same with all kinds of consolation envoys and recruiting envoys.”

"Ah? That's how it is!" The man said with a look of astonishment on his face, "Since ancient times, no woman has been sent as a messenger, right? This is really an anecdote!"

In fact, at this time, everyone who heard the imperial decree was shocked.Mo Yunxiao didn't understand what kind of medicine Zhao Ji was selling in this gourd, so she kept silent.

Li Neiguan was even more angry, and emphasized it again: "This is it!"

Song Wusao woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bumped Mo Yunxiao with her elbow.Mo Yunxiao calmly raised her hands and said, "Minister Mo Yunxiao took the decree, thank you Lord for your kindness."

The words "Thank you, Lord Long En" were what Mo Yunxiao saw from the TV, not the Song Dynasty practice.But she added it deferentially.

Li Neiguan's anger calmed down a little when he saw her arrogance, and he handed the imperial decree to her with a "hum", and said coldly: "Mr. , you need to keep in mind at all times, don’t neglect your errands.”

After hearing this, the Song brothers and sisters all cried out inwardly.Mo Yunxiao has a soft-tempered temper, and Li Neiguan's condescending admonition only aroused her anger.

Sure enough, Mo Yunxiao got up slowly, stared at him with straight eyes, and said: "The official family is kind to me, but it's frightening for him to reward me with an errand without asking. Please, Li Neiguan Reply to the official and say that I can't do this."

After saying these words, she put the imperial decree into Li Neiguan's arms, turned around and left.Li Neiguan's face was livid with anger, all the attendants were dumbfounded, and everyone in the lobby was even more uproarious.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been an anecdote to entrust a woman as a messenger, but it is an anecdote among anecdotes that has never been seen in ancient and modern times.

Song Wusao was so frightened that her hairs stood on end, she hurried up to grab Mo Yunxiao, and said sharply, "Helu! Don't be arrogant! How can you disobey the official decree!"

"I can't do it, why should I obey?" Mo Yunxiao asked back.

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! A sage is taught, but a woman and a villain are hard to raise!" Li Neiguan also hurried over, pointed at Mo Yunxiao and said: "You...you...this is resisting the decree! It is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor! Aren't you afraid of ransacking your home and destroying your family?"

"Oh! Lord!" Zhang Yun'er from upstairs was the first to rush down when she saw the situation was not good, and begged again and again: "This official, my wife is not sensible, so please forgive me. We will accept this imperial decree." of."

Li Neiguan threw Zhang Yun'er away, and said angrily: "What do you know about this and that, country women? Do you think you are buying tea at your tea house? There is no time for discussion!"

Zhang Yuner staggered and had to hold on to the handrail of the stairs so as not to fall.

"Mother!" Yun Xiang and Mo Yunze yelled in unison, and then rushed downstairs, followed by Li Xianye, Yunxi, Lvyu and Danzhu.

Mo Yunxiao thought about it, thinking that her actions might hurt her family, so she restrained her temper a little, and said to Li Neiguan: "I can't handle official errands, if I know I can't handle them, I have to bite the bullet If you accept the order, you will let down the painstaking efforts of the officials, and wouldn't that be a serious crime of bullying the emperor?"

Li Neiguan was stunned for a moment, and said again: "If you can't do it, you have to accept the order, and then discuss it calmly."

"Since I have accepted the order, who should I consult with?" Mo Yunxiao stared, without giving in at all: "The emperor can't get on the boat, and he claims to be a minister of wine. Li Taibai can still refuse the emperor's call because he is full of poems. How can I, a mere village woman, do such a thing beyond my power? If the errand is messed up and the important affairs of the court are delayed, then will I, a village woman, take care of it or you Li Neiguan will take care of it!"

Mo Yunxiao's robbing of whites was really unreasonable, and Li Neiguan couldn't speak, so he could only roar: "In this way, it's the official's fault, isn't it?"

"That's what you said!" Mo Yunxiao looked around, made a four-way bow, stepped on the stairs and said loudly: "Fanlou is full of guests, everyone can hear clearly, it was Li Neiguan who said this Is it from the official family, it is no different from others!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs. "It's unreasonable!" Li Neiguan's lungs were about to explode, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell down.Several people around hurriedly supported him. "Girls and villains...difficult...difficult to raise..." He felt weak all over, and pointed at Mo Yunxiao who was slowly going upstairs with his weak and trembling fingers.

Everyone was about to comfort him, but they heard the sound of firecrackers outside the gate. Everyone was startled and looked up, only to see smoke and dust mixed with red scraps of paper.A group of palace people walked in slowly.

They were all holding a tray in their hands, and there were things on each tray. Although they couldn't see what they were, they must be extremely luxurious things.

The palace people stood at the side, and an old palace man came from the middle, opened the imperial decree in his hand, and read aloud: "The government has a decree, and it is really helpless to send the daughter of the people, Mrs. Mo, to condemn the people inside and outside the city. Loyalty is not involved, righteousness is not rewarded. I especially reward fifty pieces of Shu brocade, three pieces of ferret skins as a tribute from the Liao Kingdom, two catties of deer antler, one jar of apricot flower wine, five catties of yak meat, one snow lotus, and Hu A pair of tribute agate bracelets from the merchant, here you go!"

After the palace servants finished reading the imperial decree, they ignored the dumbfounded people around them. They just walked to Mo Yunxiao's side and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mrs. Mo, please accept the decree."

Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a while, and before she could speak, Yunxi rushed to say: "Brother girl! These are very new things! Hurry up and thank you!"

"I..." Before Mo Yunxiao could say anything, another extremely sharp voice came from outside the door: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

People reflexively turned their heads to look at the door. This time it was a young official who announced the decree, and behind him were two young court ladies, one of whom was also holding a tray in the yellow color. A piece of orange looks like clothes.

Mo Yunxiao looked at him and couldn't help shouting, "Zhang Di!"

Zhang Di glared at her, stood in the middle of the lobby, unfolded the imperial decree and read: "Female relatives are rare in the official world. I want to use the example of Shangguan Wan'er from the previous dynasty, but at that time the female lead came to the court, Tai Ah held back, and the court collapsed." Bad. I thought over and over again, lest the Mo family would not be able to convince the public, I specially bestowed on the royal family a cloak, with the cloak on the shoulders, more expensive than the princess, as majestic as my presence. I respect this."

Mo Yunxiao pushed aside the old internal officer in front of her, ran to Zhang Di and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Di glared, and winked at her desperately, telling her to kneel down to receive the order according to the rules.But Mo Yunxiao didn't realize it.

She glanced at the two maids behind her, couldn't help but chuckle, walked over and picked up the yellow cloak and shook it in the air, the two maids couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah!"

Mo Yunxiao put the cloak on her shoulders like a coat, tied the rope, and the golden color was even more shining and dazzling under the light of the setting sun.

"It's hard to raise only women and... and villains..." Li Neiguan was still muttering.

Mo Yunxiao walked back and said to Zhang Di: "Tell the officials for me that I have accepted this gift. As for those gifts from the Liao Kingdom, Tubo, and Hu merchants, I don't want them anymore. Thank him for me."

"Mo Yunxiao!" Zhang Di suddenly yelled angrily, pointing at her and said, "You are so helpless!"

The old internal official also came over and complained to Zhang Di: "If you are such a tricky woman, why do the officials keep favoring and conniving!"

"He Lu!" Song Wusao ran all the way over, grabbed Mo Yunxiao's arm, and whispered in her ear: "Sends have a lot of authority, you might as well make this one the next."

Mo Yunxiao looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why?"

"Aren't you going to revive the teahouse?" Song Wusao said: "Also, you have fallen into the water back then and there is no result yet, why don't you take this opportunity to investigate."

"Can I check?" Mo Yunxiao asked again.

"Yes!" Song Wusao said, "The dispatch authority is extremely powerful, and all the big officials and small officials in Tokyo are at your command. Do you think you can check it?"

After thinking about it carefully, Mo Yunxiao found it reasonable, so she knelt down solemnly and said, "The daughter of the people accepts the order."
