Concubine

Chapter 151 The concubine was robbed
At the banquet, everyone talked about the Luming Banquet to be held a few days later. At that time, they would sing the poem "Luming", dance the Kuixing dance, and write poems. Don't miss a hand, everyone has a lot of fun.

Yang Qiuchi was dizzy from drinking, and he agreed, thinking, there are a lot of scholars at the door, many of them are poor, if you spend money to memorize a few poems from him, wouldn't it be enough?

After thinking about it again, why bother with this brain, the big deal is that it will be over by memorizing two poems by the old man.

However, the old man's poems are too domineering and cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise there will be problems. In modern society, no one can write ancient poems well. What should we do? We have to think about it carefully.

Jia Hanlin and Gu Fuyin also said that when Yang Qiuchi was named in the gold list in the imperial examination and palace examination, then he should celebrate it.

Speaking of this topic, Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "My lords, don't laugh at me. I know how capable I am. I won't take part in the examination and palace examination. I'm going to ask someone to come The official department registers to participate in the big selection, and if you are lucky, you can be selected in the big selection, and you will be satisfied as a sesame seed official."

Through this period of understanding, Jia Hanlin and others also knew that Yang Qiuchi was telling the truth, so they stopped talking politely.

Gu Fuyin volunteered to say that he has quite a few friends from all over the world, if Yang Qiuchi becomes an official in the future, and he happens to go to a place where he has friends, he can take care of them at that time.Jia Hanlin also offered to help.

Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, yes, these two guys could be regarded as high-level local leaders in the Ming Dynasty, especially the governor of Yingtian Fu, who is equivalent to the current mayor of the capital and a national leader. There should be many relationships in various places, so don't waste this relationship.

Although I don't know exactly where I will be an official.However, they can use their relationship to take care of Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei. Of course, it would be even better if the place where I was an official was with them.

Think here.Yang Qiuchi asked: "Master Gu. I wonder if you have any relationship with yourself in Yunnan?" Asking for others, these words are unknowingly polite.

Gu Fuyin smiled: "This Yunnan Procuratorate, Kang Huai, and I used to be classmates, and also Jinshi on the same list, and our friendship has always been good."

Yang Qiuchi heard it.Immediately beamed with joy.

Gu Fuyin was puzzled and asked: "Young Master Yang suddenly asked about Yunnan. But why?"

Yang Qiuchi looked at Ma Du with a smile.

Ma Du understood, and interjected: "Lord Gu, the lady and daughter of Baiqianhu in the capital camp who were executed by Yuanzuo a few days ago were also implicated this time. Thanks to Mr. Yang's entrusted relationship to intercede, the emperor's kindness is great, and he was saved from death. The sentence was changed to exile, and this exile is in Yunnan. Bai Qianhu had a good friendship with Mr. Yang before. Mr. Yang is kind-hearted, and he took pity on her mother and daughter, so he agreed to Bai Qianhu to take care of them."

Speaking of this matter, Gu Fuyin immediately knew about it.This big case of treason was personally executed by the emperor. Except for those who were executed, the final execution of the punishment for those implicated relatives who were not executed was handed over to the local Yamen of Yingtianfu, that is, Yin Gu, who was responsible for the specific execution.

Gu Fuyin sighed and said: "Her mother and daughter can meet such a good person as Mr. Yang, that is their blessing in their previous lives. Please rest assured, Mr. Yang, her mother and daughter will be handed over to me in Ying Tianfu after two years. Escorted to the Yunnan Liusuo. I will make specific arrangements at that time. I will definitely not let her mother and daughter be wronged."

Yang Qiuchi cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." After a pause, he continued, "It's just that I have promised Mr. Bai Qian that I will personally send them to Yunnan and settle down before leaving."

Gu Fuyin raised his thumb and praised: "Mr. Yang's righteousness is really admirable. If that's the case, I will arrange for you to escort him all the way, and write a letter to Yunnan to punish Kang Huai, let him receive you well."

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, stood up and bowed and bowed: "I thank you for your kindness on behalf of her mother and daughter."

Gu Fuyin smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, you don't have to be polite, you've done me such a great favor, it's nothing more than a little effort by me."

This matter was settled, and Yang Qiuchi was in a very happy mood. He had been worried that he would go to Yunnan, where he was not familiar with, and even if he had money, he would have nowhere to send it.Now with the introduction of Gu Fuyin and the support of the Yunnan Procuratorate, this matter will be handled easily.

This is different from the local judicial system of the Ming Dynasty. In the local judicial system, there was a department for criminal punishment at the provincial level, which was responsible for the criminal names of the whole province.

This procuratorial envoy is equivalent to the current president of the provincial high people's court, and concurrently serves as the director of the provincial discipline inspection and supervision department and the director of the anti-corruption bureau of the provincial procuratorate.

If I was sent to Yunnan as an official in the future, it would be easier to handle the case with Kang Huai's relationship and a background.I just don't know if there is such a good thing.

Everyone drank happily and kept drinking until late at night, and then they dispersed.

The next day, Yang Qiuchi was still asleep after a hangover, and Song Yun'er ran in to lift his quilt again, and shouted anxiously: "Brother, get up quickly, it's terrible!"

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was startled, sat up suddenly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your family's female guard Xia Ping is here, waiting for you outside, saying that there is something urgent, it seems to be, it is..."

Yang Qiuchi was anxious: "What is it? When did you learn to be such a mother-in-law?"

"It's the clay doll that's gone!"

"Ah~!" Yang Qiuchi exclaimed, "What did you say? The clay doll disappeared? Why didn't it disappear?"

"How do I know, you can ask the female guard yourself, she is waiting for you in the living room outside."

Yang Qiuchi got up quickly, dressed in a hurry, rushed out the door, and came to the living room.

Song Yuner and Yang Qiuchi's guard Nan Gongxiong also came to the hall.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi, Xia Ping fell to her knees: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, young master!"

I saw that Xia Ping's right hand was wrapped with a bandage and hung around her neck. Blood had already soaked out of her arm, and there was a big bright red piece, obviously the injury was serious.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Yang Qiuchi asked anxiously.

"In the early morning of the day before yesterday, there was a masked middle-aged female thief. She snatched away the third young lady Song Qing, and her subordinates and three other guards stepped forward to intercept her after discovering it. This female thief carried the unconscious third young lady on her back and fought with the three of us. This female thief is very skilled, but we are afraid of hurting the third young lady, so we have some scruples. After this female thief hurts the three of us, I ran away calmly. I was incompetent and failed to recover the third young lady. Please punish the young master .”

Yang Qiuchi was dumbfounded now, Qin Zhihui was taken away in the same way back then, could it be the same person?in the case of.There should be a note like last time.Thinking of this, Yang Qiuchi asked: "Did this female thief leave any note?"

Xia Ping was taken aback.I thought why the young master already knew about it before I said it, nodded, took out a small note from his bosom and handed it over.Said: "The female thief threw it to the subordinate before she fled, and told the subordinate to pass it on to you, young master."

Yang Qiuchi quickly took the note and unfolded it.Sure enough, there was still the familiar handwriting on it: "Your Majesty, this little concubine is also taken away. I'm fine, so I can take care of myself." The font is beautiful and the ink is clear, obviously it was written not long ago.

It's that martial arts senior again!Last time, this person stole the concubine Qin Zhihui from him, and now he stole the clay doll Song Qing, and he stole it under the noses of the three Jinyiwei masters.

What is this old godmother doing?He catches his own woman again and again, doesn't it mean that he has a special hobby?

Or sincerely fight against yourself?
The guards around him were all idiots, so many of them couldn't protect their own women.

Although I have a modern pistol, I am not afraid of face-to-face confrontation, but this woman never gives herself a chance to confront her head-on.

He snatched his woman and left, and he didn't have a chance to fight her head-on, so where could he find it?

But then again, this old godmother's martial arts are so high, even if she is found, if there is no strong method, it will be staring at her.

Because there is no one around me who can handle martial arts.

Although he doesn't know martial arts and doesn't know how good Xia Ping's martial arts are, Eunuch Li said that this was sent by Ji Gang, the special envoy of Jin Yiwei's command envoy, and his martial arts can't be said to be top-notch, but it should be very good.

Three people can't keep one of them, and they still carry one person.The high level of martial arts can be imagined.Moreover, this female senior is likely to be merciful, otherwise, it would not be difficult to take the lives of the three of them.

Why did this senior woman rob her two concubines in succession?Could it be that she fell in love with herself, became jealous, and wanted to marry herself?I don't want this old godmother!Yang Qiuchi thought angrily.

Although she didn't know why this female senior took her concubine away, it was obvious that she didn't want to hurt herself or her concubine, otherwise it would be easy for her.

Then what is the purpose of her robbing her concubine?Do you want to teach them martial arts so that they can come back and protect themselves?

Yang Qiuchi thought this kind of thinking was ridiculous. Although his two concubines were only fifteen or sixteen years old, they were still too late for learning martial arts.Besides, if she wanted someone to protect her, wouldn't it be enough for her to protect herself?So what's the trouble?
He definitely didn't want to blackmail him. If so, then after Qin Zhihui was robbed last time, he should have blackmailed her.

Not to mention the people of Emperor Jianwen. If they want to take revenge on themselves, they can just kill them with a knife. They don't need to rob their concubines one after another. Do they expect to be able to cut off their children and grandchildren by doing so?That's too childish, and if they really have this kind of thought, wouldn't it be clean and thorough if they just snapped themselves off?

Yang Qiuchi couldn't figure it out, and stood there in a daze.

Xia Ping knew that Yang Qiuchi was the special envoy of Jinyiwei Commander, and had the right to beheaded before playing, and her duty was to protect the safety of Yang Qiuchi and her family. No one will say anything.Even if Yang Qiuchi hadn't chopped off his own head, Jin Yiwei had strict discipline, such a big mistake would definitely be punished.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi standing there in a daze without saying a word, Xia Ping was probably thinking about how to torture herself to relieve her anger. She was terrified and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Nan Gongxiong has been following Yang Qiuchi. Seeing this scene, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Master, Xia Ping has neglected his duties. The crime can be punished. Please show me how to punish him." Although Nan Gongxiong and Xia Ping had a good relationship, But Xia Ping made such a serious mistake, and he didn't dare to plead for mercy.Pressing the handle of the knife, as long as Yang Qiuchi signaled to do it, he might have to execute Xia Ping to death.

Yang Qiuchi has been thinking about why this female martial arts senior took away her concubine, but he never thought about how to punish Xia Ping and the other three who were not well protected.Hearing Nan Gongxiong's words, he came to his senses and stared at Xia Ping without speaking.

Xia Ping smiled miserably: "This subordinate knows his crime and is willing to lead his death. I only hope that the adults will spare this subordinate's family. This subordinate commits suicide and apologizes." Kowtowed three times in a row.Her right hand was injured, and her left hand turned around to pull out the long sword at her waist.

"You're crazy!" Song Yun'er exclaimed, strode forward to hold Xia Ping's hand, and turned to look at Yang Qiuchi with a face full of unbearable.

Niu Qianhu and Ma Du had also arrived after receiving the news. They knew Yang Qiuchi's identity and did not dare to intervene randomly.Moreover, of course they also know the discipline of Jin Yiwei.Xia Ping's negligence of duty is a crime that cannot be punished.In this case, the punishment can be handled flexibly.How to punish depends on Yang Qiuchi's decision
Yang Qiuchi was indeed very angry at Xia Ping and others' dereliction of duty, but he had estimated that this senior woman was not trying to kill his concubine, Qin Zhihui and Song Qing should not be in danger, so.There is no need to execute Xia Ping for dereliction of duty.

However, Yang Qiuchi also knew.Jin Yiwei has strict discipline, if he is too soft-hearted, it may be difficult to restrain these people in the future.

Yang Qiuchi snorted coldly: "Do you think it's fine if you die?"

Xia Ping's husband died in the Battle of Jingnan, along with her two children and parents.Hearing this now, his complexion changed drastically, and his whole body trembled.He thought that Yang Qiuchi not only wanted to kill her, but also her whole family.

In panic.Crouching on the ground, weeping: "This subordinate deserves to die. I beg you to let my family go. I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the young master's great kindness."

Nan Gongxiong and Xia Ping had a good friendship. Seeing that Yang Qiuchi wanted to implicate Xia Ping's relatives, he bravely rolled over and knelt down, clasped his fists and said, "Master, Xia Ping committed negligence, which caused the third young mistress to be robbed by a female thief. Her life and death are unknown. It is true that the crime deserves to be executed. But I beg Young Master Nian to spare her family when she desperately protects the Lord and is injured this time.

Yang Qiuchi's face was as cold as frost: "I can't do what I want? Is the female thief's martial arts really that high?"

Xia Ping kowtowed and said: "The female thief's martial arts is extremely high, I have only seen it in my life. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would never believe that there is such a master in this world. This subordinate didn't intend to shirk, and he was willing to die, but just reported the truth. So that the young master can be prepared."

Yang Qiuchi was a little curious, and asked, "If you and her do your best, how many tricks do you think can stop her?"

"No more than ten moves." Xia Ping kowtowed.

Yang Qiuchi had never seen Xia Ping's martial arts, but when he ambushed Jianwen's pursuers that night, he knew a little about Nan Gongxiong's martial arts, so he turned his head and asked Nan Gongxiong, "How does your martial arts compare with Xia Ping's?"

Nan Gongxiong knew that Yang Qiuchi was evaluating the female thief's martial arts, so he didn't dare to hide it. He clasped his fists and said, "Within a hundred moves, this subordinate can beat Xia Ping."

Judging from the data comparison alone, this female thief is at least comparable to ten Nangongxiongs. From this point of view, even if Nangongxiong and others are all guards, it may be difficult to resist the female thief's attack. People like this, don't we..."

Nan Gongxiong said: "Master, please rest assured, according to my humble opinion, there is probably no other person in the world who has such martial arts as a female thief, and it is absolutely impossible for Jianwen to use it, otherwise, it would not be just Young Mistress who was kidnapped. "

The implication is, don't be afraid, there is probably no one as powerful as this female thief in this world.And we Jinyiwei guards are not for nothing, except for this female thief, the others are here, so they are not so useless.

Of course Yang Qiuchi knew that this female thief could not be from Emperor Jianwen.Besides, it's useless to be afraid now, and besides, I still have a Type [-] pistol, so if I can't do it, I will fight her. No matter how strong her martial arts are, can she still beat bullets?
Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "Well, since that's the case, I don't want to trouble your family." After a pause, he looked at Xia Ping coldly: "You heard what Eunuch Li said that day, and you know what to do. manage!"

Eunuch Li said that day that if they failed to protect Yang Qiuchi and his family and something went wrong, they would cut off their heads to apologize.

Xia Ping knew that Yang Qiuchi's words meant to let herself commit suicide, so she didn't hold her family accountable.I kowtowed a few times gratefully, and said to Song Yun'er: "Miss Song, thank you, I deserve it, please let me go and let me commit suicide to apologize."

Song Yuner was still pressing Xia Ping, and said anxiously: "Suicide? Is your life worthless? Your death will not help this matter. Besides, that female thief obviously didn't want to kill the clay doll. The clay doll Nothing will happen, so you are not guilty of death."

Turning her head to Yang Qiuchi, she said, "Brother, I'll beg for mercy on her behalf. Please spare her first and let her take the blame and make meritorious deeds, okay? Yun'er is begging you!"

Of course, Yang Qiuchi didn't really want Xia Ping to commit suicide, but he just used this incident to establish his prestige. He already guessed that Song Yun'er would intercede, so he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and said, "Well, since Nan Gongxiong and Yun'er are both on your behalf. Plead, I will temporarily put your head on your neck, let you do the crime, if there is another time, or if it proves that the female thief killed the young mistress, hum! You know what to do!"

What he said was from the bottom of his heart. He is now fighting with the remaining Jianwen party. The other party once organized a large group of people to attack and assassinate him. If these guards don't protect them with all their might in the future, then the heads of himself and his family may not be long before they have to move. .

So there has to be a sense of urgency for them.If in the future there is indeed insufficient protection, causing injuries to himself or his family members, Yang Qiuchi will still be ruthless enough to kill a few dereliction of duty guards to vent his anger.

Xia Ping escaped from the dead, couldn't help crying with gratitude, and kowtowed a few times: "This subordinate understands that if this subordinate fails to do its duty again, or if it is proved in the future that the third young lady has been killed, this subordinate will immediately commit suicide and apologize!"

"Hmm! Get up. Follow me back to Ningguo Mansion!"
