First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 104 Punishment from Xiao Yu

...

Hearing the old eunuch's words, Xiao Yu's expression changed immediately, he slapped the desk, and reprimanded him: "I, Xiao Yu, am upright and upright, don't bother to do such nasty things, don't bring it up again."

The old eunuch nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, but just lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

"However, this beast dares to refute my face. If you don't punish me, Liu Shirang and others will think that I, Xiao Yu, are soft-boned." Xiao Yu snorted coldly.

"Then Qilang...", the old eunuch's eyes lit up when he heard that.

This is Xiao Qilang, the Liang Liang who reported his grudges on the spot. Thinking of the time when Xiao Yu, the king of Xin'an County, ran across Jiangling City, no matter if he was a high-ranking official or a peddler, anyone who dared to do evil in Jiangling City would be met by Xiao Yu, the king of Xin'an County. Well, that must be severe punishment without mercy, the security of Jiangling City largely depends on Xiao Yu.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu glanced at the old eunuch, "Don't use despicable means, I will host another banquet tomorrow night, and you personally bring someone with a stick to invite him, if he doesn't come, you will beat him."

The old eunuch smiled immediately when he heard the wrinkled old face, and the familiar feeling returned, so he responded quickly.

The next day, when night fell, when Liu Shirang and others received Xiao Yu's invitation, they all looked puzzled, how can one banquet a day be too enthusiastic.

But the two of them didn't dare to take Xiao Yu's face off, according to the etiquette, if they tidy up their appearance, they would happily go to the banquet.

However, Liu Wenjing threw the invitation on the ground as Xiao Yu expected.

The old eunuch's expression changed suddenly, he clapped his hands, and three or five people directly kicked the door open and rushed in.

Liu Wenjing was surprised and angry, "How dare you rebel against me? My official is Sima of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you... ah".

Regardless of his age, the old eunuch moved nimbly, stepped forward quickly, picked up a stick and hit Liu Wenjing's outstretched arm, causing Liu Wenjing to scream in pain.

"You still dare to point at our house, you're getting tired of it", the old eunuch smiled sinisterly, "If you dare not give Qilang face, you must let him remember, call the doctor first, and don't kill him."

Hearing this, the servants of the Xiao family behind him did not hesitate to pick up their sticks and went up. They were also experienced and picked places that were not fatal.

Poor Liu Wenjing, a dignified celebrity in Jingzhao, Sima of the prime minister's mansion, was tortured at first, and now he was beaten with sticks by a group of servant eunuchs.

Liu Wenjing had no choice but to hug her head, curled up on the ground, humiliation, pain... Liu Wenjing had already lost her mind. Although she was being beaten, her aura was not lost.

Hearing that Liu Wenjing was still talking hard here, the servants of the Xiao family were even more annoyed, and they unconsciously increased the strength of their hands. After a few sticks, Liu Wenjing passed out. The old eunuch waved his hand, and the doctor behind him rushed forward to treat him. Flowing clouds and flowing water, not unfamiliar at all.

"Elder-in-law, it's done." The doctor checked and poured some unknown decoction for Liu Wenjing, and then applied ointment on Liu Wenjing's shoulder, head and back, and let him lie on the ground without caring.

The old eunuch nodded, snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

In fact, Liu Wenjing woke up after drinking the bitter soup, but he didn't dare to wake up, who knew if the perverted old eunuch would knock him out again after waking up.

"How about helping him to the couch? After all, he is a high-ranking official."

At this time, Liu Wenjing faintly heard a voice not far away. The voice seemed to be a handyman in the post house. Liu Wenjing made up her mind that if the handyman helped him up, he would be rewarded as a servant of the Liu family in the future. Lying on the ground like a dead dog like this is really degrading.

But another old voice sounded again, "You don't want to kill yourself, can you afford to offend Sheriff Xiao, senior official? Have you ever seen a senior official who has no ears, no matter how great the official is, he has become like this!" If you look like a ghost, you will definitely be beaten to the end when you turn around."

Hearing this, Liu Wenjing was furious, and fainted again after a twitch.

"He... did he move?"

"Don't worry about it, it's much more pitiful than him."

Xiao Yu's face was gloomy at the county guard's mansion. After hearing the old eunuch's report, Xiao Yu looked at Liu Shirang and the two of them.

"Two generals, that Liu Wenjing is so ignorant. Yesterday she disgraced me and left with her sleeves, and today she threw me an invitation card. She didn't pay attention to this official at all. She will impeach this guy to the king of Tang later. Please also invite me at that time." The two generals bear witness."

When Liu Shirang and the two heard it, they complained endlessly. If they testified, they would offend Liu Wenjing, and if they refused to agree, they would offend Xiao Yu.

Comparing the two, whichever is the lesser, not to mention that Liu Wenjing is really not a thing, Liu Shirang and the two have been irritated all the way, they looked at each other, and immediately raised their glasses together, happily agreeing.

Liu Shirang was even more straightforward, "Please calm down the governor of Xiaojun, Liu Zhaoren's extreme character and insistence on going his own way caused our army to be defeated. Even if the governor of Xiaojun doesn't impeach him, I will give him a copy from the king of Tang."

It’s so realistic. The comrades who fought side by side a few days ago were about to be stabbed in the back. Gongsun Wuda was dumbfounded, but Liu Shirang looked at him and sighed, “Brother Gongsun, if Liu Sima hadn’t been greedy for meritorious deeds, the two of us How can the army be defeated so far?"

When Gongsun Wuda heard this, he hurriedly wiped his drink from the corner of his mouth, filled with righteous indignation, he was really angry when he said this, "Mr. Xiao, Brother Liu, bring me along for impeachment."

Seeing this, Xiao Yu smiled immediately, raised his glass, slammed glasses, talked and laughed at Yan Yan, very comfortable, but Liu Sima, who was lying alone on the posthouse floor, was ignored by no one. It has to be said that this is also Liu Wenjing's good luck.

Pugu is connected to Quail Gou in the north and Yongxian County in the south. After passing Pugu, it will enter the boundary of Anding County.

Li Shimin was very annoyed, he chased the Tang army all the way, and only wiped out more than [-] enemies, while the Western Qin army still had more than [-] troops. Xue Rengao was like a solid backing, firmly standing in front of the Tang army, protecting Xue Ju's main force all the way in an orderly manner the retreat
This led to the fact that although Xue Ju was defeated this time, his vitality was not damaged and his main force was still there. Li Shimin couldn't help being angry. Although it was a big victory, he couldn't annihilate the enemy's vital forces.

But after receiving Gao Chong's urgent report, he felt a little more at ease.

Passing the urgent report to the left and right, Li Shimin was full of hope, "Youzhi lived up to my expectations and led the army to intercept, but Youzhi's troops only have [-] soldiers and horses. Once we meet Xue Ju, we must catch up as soon as possible." , otherwise you will be in danger."

Fang Xuanling also nodded straightly, "Yiguang sent scouts to go around and contact Youzhi. Once Xue Ju was intercepted and his progress was blocked, the general's entire army would immediately press down on him, attacking from north to south, and Xue Ju would be doomed."

Li Shimin nodded straight when he heard that, and immediately dispatched several scouts to go around from left to right to contact Gao Chong.

Then there was another sigh, "Liu Zhaoren was brutally tortured again. Fortunately, You's personal guards rescued him desperately, otherwise Sima, the majestic prime minister's mansion, would have been a prisoner at this time."

Everyone sighed when they heard it, Qiu Xinggong had a bad temper, and he couldn't understand Liu Wenjing's arrogance the most. Hearing this, he shook his head and sneered: "Liu Sima has always been at odds with the Gao family, and he has repeatedly slandered Gao Biejia, but this time he was slandered by Gao Biejia. Gao's family saved him, let's see if he will avenge his kindness in the future."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, and immediately shouted: "Let's go, each general restrains his subordinates, and does not disturb the people along the way, but if there is any offense, he will not be lightly forgiven." Qiu Xinggong grinned and bowed his hands to leave.
