Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 479 Chaos
Woke up early in the morning and heard the news that his subordinates went out to have sex with prostitutes last night and they died. Xue Lang was in a bad mood!
Now it is too late to talk about how to explain to you in the past, Xue Lang didn't want to talk nonsense, and asked Gu Li directly: "Who died? A good family and a low family?"

Gu Li said: "My subordinate made a rough question yesterday, and the deceased was a good citizen, a guest who went to drink with a prostitute."

"How did you fight, where did you hit, etc. You can go and ask about it in detail. Also, by the way, inquire about Pei Yunzhao's official voice, trial habits, etc., the more detailed the better."

Xue Lang rubbed his eyebrows and ordered.Gu Li quickly replied: "Here."

Xue Lang said again: "Wait...we all speak with foreign accents. When we go to inquire about news, we will reveal our secrets as soon as we open our mouths. Let's first check with Sun Xiang himself and the people in the brothel. For the rest, it is best to go around and spend more money." Any money will do, be sure to check it out.”

"Here."

Gu Li led the way.

A total of 50 people came to escort Xue Lang to Yuezhou, led by Gu Li, who was the leader of the team, and his deputy was Liu Yaowu. When Gu Li went out to investigate, he left him by his master's side.

Xue Lang waved at him and said, "Go and gather everyone here, I have something to ask."

"Here."

Although he agreed, Liu Yaowu didn't move, his lips moved, as if he had something to say.Xue Lang said: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Liu Yaowu gritted his teeth and knelt down directly: "Please punish me!"

Xue Lang looked at him: "What is your crime?"

Liu Yaowu: "Sun Xiang and others go out at night to look for flowers and ask Liu, and stay overnight in brothels. The subordinates know about it. The Gu team has strict rules, and everyone has nothing to do. Sun Xiang and the others dare not go out when the Gu team is here. When I was on duty here, Sun Xiang and the others would look for opportunities to climb over the wall and go out to play. I found out once, although I reprimanded them, but it was not severe. Sun Xiang and others probably didn't take it seriously. I just turned a blind eye , there is no strict control, please punish the Lord!"

Xue Lang didn't speak, just looked at him silently——

This is the way things are in the world, no matter how strict your rules are, it will only be useful if someone is willing to abide by them.After a moment of silence, Xue Lang said: "Clarify Sun Xiang's matter first, and your punishment will be postponed."

"Here."

Xue Lang waved his hand, Liu Yaowu immediately withdrew, quickly called everyone together, and stood in line in the courtyard.Xue Lang stood on the steps under the eaves, staring at the crowd with a straight face, expressionless, without speaking.

There was no sound from Yaque in the field, and it was quiet.

Although Xue Lang was not a kind person in the past, he was also very kind and forgiving, without any pretensions, and with these guards, he also spoke kindly, although he didn't talk much, but he was extremely lenient.It was the first time for the guards to see such a stern face today, and while feeling a little guilty, they were also a little scared. They all stood up straight, fearing that they would be punished for improper posture.

Xue Lang just stood there for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said: "I always thought that my trilogy was hardworking, simple and disciplined. Although I never said it, I am really proud of having such a trilogy as you." Yes, because you are all carefully selected elite soldiers, but... what happened last night made me very disappointed!"

"Father!"

The trilogy all knelt down in unison, ashamed.Xue Lang was unmoved, and only asked: "If anyone has violated the rules I set, please stand up! Let me see how many people there are!"

"Father!"

"It's a man's, the one with the handle should stand up!"

Xue Lang sternly shouted, everyone was excited, in twos and threes, someone slowly got up, walked to the right and knelt down alone.Xue Lang watched calmly, and counted carefully, among the fifty people, only five came out.

Xue Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Fifty people came, and only five who did not obey the rules and made mistakes, plus one Sun Xiang, made a total of six people. Fortunately, the proportion is not high. I just want to ask why Others can abide by the rules, but you can't?"

The five bowed their heads in shame.Xue Lang said: "I have repeatedly emphasized that I was exiled to Yuezhou. We should keep a low profile in our behavior. I never ask you not to fight back when you hit me. Why can't it be done?"

The deep disappointment is beyond words.Xue Lang sighed, and said: "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, let me ask you, how many of you went with Sun Xiang last night?"

Two people stood out from the five.Xue Lang looked at them coldly, and said, "Liu Yaowu, ask the two of them separately, and ask them clearly about what happened last night in detail."

"Here!"

"There are also these three people. If you have made any mistakes, you should also ask them clearly."

"Here."

Liu Yaowu took them down to the outer room for questioning. Xue Lang looked at the rest of the people and lectured: "You all come from the Xiong Wei Army, and you are one of the best men in a thousand. Tell me, the first lesson you learned when you entered the Xiong Wei Army What is it?"

"It is your bounden duty to obey orders!"

"Very good, since I remember everything, then, let me reiterate for the last time, order and prohibition, and obey the law! If you can do it, stay, if you can't, stand up, and I will ask you to go back to Chang'an. If you stay, once you violate discipline... I will Won't give a second chance, remember?"

"Here!"

"Go away."

"Here!"

The guards dispersed in an orderly manner, and there was no sound during the whole process.Xue Lang watched blankly, stood for a while, and said to Changjian: "Get ready, I want to post a post to visit Governor Pei."

"Here."

Changjian went out to prepare.In the governor's mansion, when Pei Yunzhao woke up early in the morning and received the report from his subordinates, he was in the same mood as Xue Lang, and he was in a bad mood: "Xue Youyang's guards fought with others and beat a prostitute to death?"

Yang Changshi said: "Returning to the envoy, that's right. The person who was killed was Zhou Shiqilang from the Zhou family, a big family in Yuezhou."

Pei Yunzhao has been in Yuezhou for several years, and he doesn't explain the personnel and affairs of Yuezhou clearly, but he is very familiar with the local big families in Yuezhou. Hearing this, he frowned: "Zhou Shiqilang? It's the famous Zhou family's dandy. son?"

"Exactly."

Pei Yunzhao remained silent for a while, before asking: "Who reported yesterday? Who arrested? Where are they being held? Will there be an interrogation?"

Yang Changshi hurriedly said: "Returning to the envoy, the person who reported the case was the old bustard of the brothel, Zhou Butou was on duty last night, after receiving the report, he brought people directly to arrest him, and locked him in the prison of the government office. , and brought back the confessions of the people in the brothel."

Pei Yunzhao said: "Zhou Butou... Speaking of it, Zhou Butou should be Zhou Shishilang's uncle?"

Yang Changshi said affirmatively: "You have a good memory."

Pei Yunzhao snorted softly: "No wonder he works so quickly, he has improved a lot compared to the past."

Regarding the complaints from his boss, Yang Changshi didn't say anything, but kept smiling.Pei Yunzhao didn't want him to comment, but instead asked: "What does Xue Youyang say...?"

Yang Changshi said: "Madam Xue hasn't come out yet, I only sent the captain of the guard to the prison to see his captured guard, the rest haven't done anything yet."

Pei Yunzhao nodded, and fell silent again.Yang Changshi thought for a while and asked, "Your envoy is worried that Concubine Xue will intervene in the lawsuit?"

Pei Yunzhao shook his head thoughtfully, and said: "In my opinion, Xue Youyang is not like those arrogant and domineering people."

Yang Changshi said: "My subordinates have heard that the people who came to Yuezhou with Xue Youyang are all part of him. If it is an ordinary guard, Xue Youyang may be able to stick to the principle, part... how can it be the same as the guard!"

Pei Yunzhao was noncommittal, and only ordered: "Bring me the existing statement. In addition, order Zhou Butou to withdraw, and leave the case to Tian Yizhi to investigate."

"Here."

Pei Yunzhao collected his thoughts, took over the confession and read it ten lines at a glance, frowning slightly, read it again carefully, frowning in thought.At this time, the handyman came to report: "My lord, Xue Lang, the Duke of Rui and his son-in-law captain, submitted a post asking to see him."

Pei Yunzhao was startled, took a look at the invitation card, it should be Xue Youyang's invitation card used in Beijing, and today he used this invitation card to post a visit, obviously he was visiting with a clear identity, not a personal one like in the past.

Since the sage exiled him, why didn't Xue Lang lose his title, and didn't even drop the city?Pei Yunzhao was hesitant, but Xue Lang made such an official visit, but he had no choice but to greet him personally in terms of etiquette!

Pei Yunzhao straightened his clothes, got up and said, "Welcome the guests."

"Here!"
