Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 340 Zhu Xixiao Makes a Comeback

Nuer Huahua put the Qiang flute on the mouth of the cherry.The melodious and melodious Qiang flute sounded in Cao's mansion.

In front of her was a bamboo basket.A layer of fine sand was spread beside the bamboo basket.

After a while, the sound of Qiang flute became strange.A green snake got out of the bamboo basket and climbed onto the fine sand.

Nu'er's flowery green fingers quickly moved on the flute hole.The sound of the flute became louder and brighter.An amazing scene happened!That green snake kept slithering on the fine sand, and the snaking trajectory was like a big birthday peach!

Everyone applauded.

Finally, the painting of longevity peaches on the fine sand is finished.The sound of the Qiang flute changed again, and the green snake obediently got into the bamboo basket.

"Good!" Everyone cheered in unison.

The old birthday star Cao Jinya smiled all over his face: "My little granddaughter has made a fool of herself!"

He Liudao: "Your granddaughter is really good!"

Cao Jinya said humbly: "This is not unusual. Before she was adopted as a righteous daughter by Wu Dai, she made a living as a snake charmer in the northwest area."

The banquet is over.He Liu cupped his hands towards Cao Jinya: "Old man, thank you for your hospitality! I will take my leave!"

Cao Jinya hastily ordered his two sons-in-law: "Deshui, Wu Dai, send He Zhenfu envoy for me."

He Liu went back to Beizhen Fusi and called Li Heijiu.

He Liu asked: "Have you sent someone to watch Huahua's residence in Nancheng?"

Li Heijiu said: "Don't worry, Sixth Brother. I have sent more than a dozen eyes and ears to monitor day and night. Nuer Huahua went to the Cao Mansion to celebrate Mr. Cao's birthday today. At this moment, she should return to her residence."

He Liu nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, the sick Zhu Xixiao walked into He Liu's office!Behind him, Cui Guangzhi and Li Bofeng followed.

He Liu said to Cui Guangzhi and Li Bofeng, "You guys came back very quickly!"

Li Bofeng smiled lightly and said: "After accepting the emperor's order, I will rush to the capital day and night. There is no way, Liu Ye, the emperor's order is hard to break!"

After He Er, Lu Si, and Xu Qi died, Emperor Longqing ordered Cui Guangzhi and Li Bofeng to be transferred back to the capital.Two of Zhu Xixiao's capable men returned to Beijing. He thought that the opportunity for a comeback had come, so he stopped "recovering from his illness" and returned to Jinyiwei.

Zhu Xixiao asked: "Old Six, how is the investigation of the snake spirit case going?"

He Liudao: "The emperor entrusted Dongchang and me to investigate the case of the snake spirit. Why, Commander Zhu is interested?"

Zhu Xixiao snorted coldly: "Hmph, the emperor's will is clear, it is to let Jinyiwei and Dongchang jointly investigate the snake spirit case. He didn't say that he would hand over the case to you. Am I not the left governor of Jinyiwei? I can't ask Jinyiwei to handle it case?"

He Liu said neither humble nor overbearing: "That's right. You are the Zuo Dudu of Jinyiwei. Naturally, I should inform you about the case of the Snake Spirit. Unfortunately, this case is complicated and confusing. I haven't found out the clue yet!"

Zhu Xi said filially: "It's been so long, and you still haven't found out the clue? How did you do it wrong?"

He Liu glared at Zhu Xixiao: "Oh, Dudu Zhu's illness seems to be cured!"

Zhu Xi said filially: "Thanks to the great blessing of the emperor. Someone prescribed a medicine for me, and I was cured by the medicine!"

He Liu cursed secretly: Your so-called prescription should be the emperor's imperial decree to transfer Cui Guangzhi and Li Bofeng back to Beijing, right?

Jinyiwei now implements the four thousand household system.Cui Guangzhi and Li Bofeng, two thousand households, each command a thousand school lieutenants and strong men in name.He Liu transferred them out of the capital, and the 2000 people in their hands were assigned to He Liu's old brothers.

Now that they have returned to Beijing, according to the rules, He Liu will hand over two thousand captains and wrestlers to them.

With a new force of 2000 in his hands, Zhu Xixiao naturally began to move around.

Zhu Xixiao changed the subject: "That's right! A while ago, you recommended Han Wu to the emperor to serve as the governor of Nanzhen. The emperor had already issued an order. But I checked carefully and found that Han Wu's great-grandfather was a deserter! His family affairs are not good. It's clean, it's against the rules to be the governor of Nanzhen!"

The relationship between Jinyiwei Nan and Beizhen Fushi is very important.In addition to examining whether the candidate is smart and capable, and whether he is loyal to the emperor.It is also necessary to check whether the family background is innocent.It has been going up five generations.This is called "Cha Five Dynasties".

He Liu's complexion changed: "Han Wu's great-grandfather was a deserter? Does Governor Zhu have proof?"

Zhu Xixiao said: "Since I dare to say that, there is of course evidence! The current Ministry of War has the background! Han Wu can't be the governor of Nanzhen anyway. I have already recommended to the emperor that Li Bofeng will be the governor of Nanzhen. Envoy, and concurrently holds the post of Thousand Households.”

He Liu glanced at Li Bofeng.Li Bofeng had a smug look on his face.

As far as Li Bofeng is concerned, he is still He Liu's savior.In the 42nd year of Jiajing, He Liuyong broke into the tiger's lair, boarded Puluo Island in the East China Sea to recruit Xu Hai, the pirate king, and was taken hostage by Xu Hai.If Li Bofeng hadn't acted in time, he might have died in Donghai.

After returning to Beijing, He Liu greatly promoted Li Bofeng.

It's a pity that Li Bofeng is too ambitious, and he thinks he's promoted too slowly.Betrayal is often a shortcut for people in officialdom to climb up.So he betrayed He Liu and took refuge in Zhu Xixiao.

He Liudao: "Oh? Dudu Zhu recommended Li Bofeng to the emperor as the governor of Nanzhen? I don't know if the emperor has approved it?"

Zhu Xixiao said: "The emperor said, let's talk about it in a few days. During the days when I am sick, you, the governor of Beizhen, will be in charge of the security affairs temporarily. You have always worked hard! I see the case of the snake spirit, so don't worry about it anymore." .Leave it to me personally."

He Liu didn't give Zhu Xixiao any face, he stretched out his right hand towards Zhu Xixiao.

Zhu Xixiao asked, "What do you mean?"

He Liulang said: "What about the imperial edict? I was ordered to investigate the snake spirit case! Without the imperial edict, I will never quit!"

Zhu Xixiao said angrily: "Are you going to disobey the order of me, the left governor of Jinyiwei?"

He Liu sneered: "Oh, I'm sorry! Disobeying the Jun's order is a small matter, but disobeying the imperial decree is a major matter! The emperor asked me to investigate the case of the snake spirit, and I can't disobey the order!"

Zhu Xixiao stared at He Liu: "Lao Liu, don't talk too much, don't do things too terribly! It's the best way to practice among the public. Don't you hear that 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi? Sooner or later, you will have A day that falls into my hands."

He Liu walked out of the guard room without looking up.Turning his head, he made a filial piety to Zhu Xi: "Let's wait and see, my Lord Zuo Dudu!"
