Chapter 278 Who will kill the deer (forty-one)

Chapter 278 Who will fight to the deer? (41)

The autumn wind, rain and autumn are awesome. On a slightly deserted day, the case in Chanzhou was quickly interrogated, and the main culprits were sentenced one after another.

Zan Jurun, the envoy of Xuanzheng North Court, was beheaded by the envoy behind the disappearance of money and food in Chanzhou.

Gao Fang, the Minister of Revenue, participated in the missing case of money and food in Chanzhou and was beheaded.

The Minister of Revenue, the Doctor of the Jin Dynasty, and the Doctor of the Duzhi Dynasty were beheaded.

Zheng Youlin, Sima, Zhengzhou, accepted money and grain, delayed the construction of the river embankment, causing the Yellow River water to burst into the city and was beheaded.

Six people were beheaded. Although the number of people was not large, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not killed so many civil officials for many years, and the people of Daliang City had not seen such a lively scene for many years. For a moment, the execution ground was as lively as a temple fair, with blood, which made life comfortable and some bored people felt a different stimulation.

Wang Decheng, the governor of Chanzhou, was appointed as the military officer Xiao Qing, and Liu Jiangqing, the southern Wei of Daliang City, were exiled to Shamen Island for dereliction of duty, but none of his family was implicated.

Faced with such a result, all the people who had pleaded for Zheng Youlin for various reasons chose to shut up. Most of the ten old people who were intimidating Luoyang had some feelings for Zheng Youlin. They gathered together to curse Hou Dayong. However, Luoyang was far enough away from Daliang. Before these scoldings came out of Luoyang, they had already fallen into the path next to the road without leaving Luoyang.

In the Chanzhou case, Hou Dayong and Fan Zhi confronted many times. After the case, Fan Zhi was still the first prime minister, with long beards floating and full of the demeanor of a Confucian. Hou Dayong was the same as before, with several personal guards, and with rhythmic sounds of horse hooves, he walked through the wide street of Daliang. The two met as if nothing had happened.

The Longwei Army, who returned from the northwest, commanded Guo Jiong and accepted the reward from His Majesty. The courtyard of Zan Mansion became Guo Jiong's property.

As for the spring government land, money and food, except for the small part provided by Zheng Youlin, most of them had nowhere to go and became a mystery.

Others who were involved in this case also quietly threw away all their uneasiness and uneasiness when they saw the executioner's sword falling.

The Chanzhou case ended in an inexplicable way.

This case was like dust for Daliang City, leaving no traces. Daliang City is still so prosperous. Compared with the previous few days, the only change is that the weather has become colder. When the thick blood on the execution ground was blown away bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, the autumn wind became colder and colder.

People all know that autumn is coming and winter is coming.

Xiang Xun's brother suddenly came several men riding horses, and several people turned over and dismounted. A man with a knife walked towards a door with a dusty look on his face. The door saw these men with extraordinary spirit, with a bear-back, a tiger-back, and a dragon-walk, and a tiger-walk, and at a glance they knew they were people in the army. When several men approached, the door suddenly found that the leader looked very familiar.

Menzi was once a member of the army and was Xiang Xun's close friend. However, when Xiande fought with Western Shu in the early years, he was hit by a thigh and injured his muscles and bones. After he recovered, he became a cripple. He was forced to take off his military uniform, Xiang Xun's loyalty and courage, so he let him be a disciple in the mansion.

When the visitor approached, the door had already recognized the visitor. He said to his subordinates, "Go and notify Alang, the Hou Prime Minister has arrived." After that, he stepped forward quickly.

Hou Dayong looked at the walker who was a little lame, but had a military temperament and said, "You used to be a soldier."

The expression of excitement on the face of the menzi. The life of guarding the gate is very affordable, but it is a bit boring for a sergeant. The menzi's proudest time was the period when Xiang Xun was the time when he was in Jin Jie and Iron Horse. Hou Xiang asked casually and just scratched the itchy part of the menzi. His face showed a long-lost brilliance, and his waist and back were straight, just like a sergeant being inspected.

Hou Dayong had been in the military for a long time. He had a very thorough understanding of these injured and disabled soldiers. He also understood them very well and touched them casually. He wanted to give some money to this disciple, but he did not know that there was no Tongbao at the tentacle. Feng Sha, who was following behind, smiled slightly, and he quickly took a bunch of Tongbao from his arms and handed it to Hou Dayong.

"I'll give you this little money." The old soldier reminded Hou Dayong of many old soldiers of the Black Eagle Army. He smiled slightly and said, "I saved enough money, get married, buy land, and live a good life."

This is the most common sentence Hou Dayong said to the injured soldiers of the Black Eagle Army.

Hou Dayong and Xiang Xun are also old friends. When they conquered Western Shu, Hou Dayong was a subordinate of Xiang Xun in the name of the vanguard of the army. In recent years, Hou Dayong has been smooth sailing and has become the auxiliary minister of the Zhou Dynasty. His status is higher than that of Chai Rong's old Xiang Xun. Therefore, when Xiang Xun learned the news, he walked all the way and welcomed Hou Dayong in the courtyard.

Xiang Xun had been ill for more than three months, and now his illness was slightly healed, and his face was still quite dim. He knew the news that Hou Dayong brought, but he still said furiously: "Take the risk of others, this is purely taking advantage of others' danger."

"Although the Hujie Army did not participate in the Northern Expedition, if the Hujie Army had not guarded Daliang, how could the Northern Expedition Army have no worries at all? From this point of view, the Hujie Army has made great contributions, which is definitely not as unbearable as some have said."

Xiang Xun stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Prince Hou said justice. Now my serious illness is basically cured. Let's go to the military camp and see how those people say things."

For the Five Dynasties, civil officials have never been too late to be arrogant and handsome. Xiang Xun was a civil servant and a military officer. He was an envoy to the Southern Xuan Zhengnan and once led troops to fight. He had a personal feeling about the difference between literature and martial arts. This time, less than three months after leaving the army due to illness, all kinds of rumors came.

Xiang Xun's Hu Jie Army stayed at Daliang several times, and its military camps were distributed in various strategic points in the city. There was a battalion of troops on the south and east of the palace, which was the closest armed force to the palace except for the palace guards. Hou Dayong would never allow Zhao Kuangyin to infer the Hu Jie Army.

Hou Dayong was quite confident about the situation he was facing. After the Chanzhou case, the situation in the court underwent subtle changes. The important officials either turned to Hou Dayong openly or secretly. Moreover, because the young Majesty and Empress Dowager Fu obeyed him, it was difficult to obtain an imperial edict if there were extremely disagreements with Hou Dayong.

Hearing Xiang Xun thanking, Hou Dayong smiled and said, "Xiang Shuai once led his troops to conquer Western Shu. He thought about the past, defeating Qinzhou and Fengzhou, and defeating the Western Shu army, and throwing out its armor. Whenever I think of this, I always fascinated me."

In fact, the conquest of Western Shu was far less intense than the battle with the tribes in the northwest. However, for Xiang Xun, who always stayed in Daliang, the Battle of Western Shu was one of the most difficult battles he had ever fought. Sure enough, Xiang Xun was also very proud when he heard Hou Dayong mention the Battle of Western Shu.

Hou Dayong said affectionately: "We have fought together on the battlefield, and have a life-long friendship. If you don't abandon me, just give me some instructions."

Xiang Xun's heart was full of brilliance. This was a genuine win over. Hou Dayong led his troops for many years and presided over the Northwest War and the Northern Expedition. Half of the famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty fought with him. When it comes to friendships in life, it is probably the true friendship with the generals of the Black Eagle Army.

Xiang Xun smiled gratefully on his face and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, as long as I'm in Hujie Army, I will attack wherever you point."

To win over, it actually requires conditions. It is just like the truth that a slap cannot be slapped. Hou Dayong needs Xiang Xun. Similarly, Xiang Xun cannot do without Hou Dayong's support. Without the secret support of the court elders, Xiang Xun will also be struggling. After all, in the current Great Zhou Dynasty, no one can directly control the government affairs. This is the most obvious result of splitting the two imperial guards of the Guards and the Palace Front Office into six.

Xiang Xun enthusiastically held a banquet, and there were many special dishes from Qinzhou and Fengzhou areas on the table. Hou Dayong also secretly admired Xiang Xun's human nature.

He went out with a little drunk. Before he could walk for a long time, Hou Dayong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over. When he was about to reach the south gate, there were more patrolling soldiers and yamen runners in Kaifeng Mansion on the street. Hou Dayong walked for a while with some confusion. Just in front of the Zan Mansion, Yang Zhengzhi, the young master of Kaifeng Mansion, was standing in front of the Zan Mansion. Yang Zhengzhi turned around inadvertently and saw Hou Dayong on the street. He hurriedly took three steps at the same time and rushed to Hou Dayong's horse.

Yang Zhengzhi said with a serious expression: "Prime Minister Hou, this morning, several posts appeared in the city. I sent people to search everywhere and have caught some people to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Seeing that he was solemn, Hou Dayong said strangely: "What post?"

After taking the post handed over by Yang Zhengzhi, Hou Dayong's face became colder and colder. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "How many posts have you received, the exact number, where are you?"

"Nine and six are posted in the places where the government usually issues notices, two are posted in Tianjing Temple, and one is posted in Mingyue Restaurant."

"What are you doing in front of Zan Mansion?"

"The official wanted to check the Zan Mansion to see if there were any posts hidden inside. We searched it carefully and found no abnormalities."

Hou Dayong had returned to his normal expression at this time. He said, "This house is no longer the Zan Mansion, it should be the younger brother of the Guo Shuai's Mansion. Although he has not moved in yet, you need to search this house in the future and have to obtain Guo Shuai's consent, do you know?"

Yang Zhengzhi was just looking for the post and did not notice this detail. He bowed and said, "I'm being careless, I'll apologize to Guo Shuai."

Hou Dayong waved his hand and said, "No need, Guo Shuai is not a petty person, Daliang City is the imperial capital, and the relationship inside is a big tree with mixed roots. You must be careful." Hou Dayong paused and said slowly, "Yang Lang did a good job in this matter."

"Thank you, Hou, for your praise."

"These nine posts are sent to the Marquis' Mansion. I want to deal with this matter myself. Now I will remove all the yamen runners, leaving only some trustworthy yamen runners, and mingle with the common people to inquire about this matter."

"Go quickly."

After Yang Weizhi left in a hurry, Hou Dayong turned around and said to Feng Sha: "Send someone to notify Meng Shu and Du Gang immediately and let them wait in the study immediately."

The two guards immediately turned their heads and went to find Meng Shu and Du Gang respectively. Feng Sha did not see the content of the post, and secretly guessed what had happened. Hou Dayong suddenly said: "Please ask Guo Shuai to come to the study as soon as possible."
