The Golden Age Chapter 784: Go home

Although Qiao Ruixin dispatched his soldiers to search in the city, and even led his troops to search in the city, he just ran around the city like a headless fly.

Who is the assassin? Where do you come from? Where is it now?

He knows nothing.

But he had to lead soldiers to the streets.

The Shence Army sent troops to Jiangnan this time. Qiao Ruixin, as the lieutenant of the Pioneer Battalion, followed Xia Houning. He was actually very happy, knowing that this trip to Jiangnan would not only make a contribution, but also gain a lot. The pockets will be filled with gold and silver jewelry.

He came from an eunuch. Without that stuff, his greatest pursuit can only be property.

But the current situation is completely beyond his expectations.

Xiahou Ning died, and his dream of getting promoted and wealthy was shattered, and he even had to bear the crime of inadequate protection.

Although the Shence Army is in its own line, he also understands that if the prime minister has to hold himself accountable because of the pain of losing his son, no one in the palace will protect him. General Zuo Xuanji of the Shence Army also Will not be hostile to Xiahou's family because of himself.

He can only wander the streets now, at least to show that he did his best to chase the assassin after Lord Hou died.

A fast horse came galloping, Qiao Ruixin saw Qi Shen get off the horse and came over. Before Qi Shen could speak, he already asked: "Qin Xiao saw Lin Hong?"

"Zhonglang Jiang, be damned!" Qi Shen knelt to the ground: "Lin Hong...Lin Hong has been taken away."

Qiao Ruixin was startled at first, then showed an angry face: "Qin Xiao took it away?"

"Yes." Qi Shen bowed his head and said: "Qin Xiao said that the assassination of Lord Hou must be caused by the chaos of the party. To trace the assassin's identity, you must pry Lin Hong's mouth open. He said that he would take Lin Hong back. Interrogation by torture and torture...!"

"Will you let him take people away?"

"The humble general led people to stop him, and told him that no one could take away the criminals without the instructions of the general manager." Qi Shen said: "But he said he was an official of the Dali Temple and had the right to interrogate the criminals. He It is also said that the assassin escaped and is still in the city. If the identity of the assassin cannot be identified as soon as possible, who will bear the responsibility if the assassin continues to assassinate in the city?" He looked up at Qiao Ruixin and said cautiously: "Qin Xiao is determined to take it away. Lin Hong, the low general is worried that if he really fails to catch the assassin, he will put the responsibility on the head of the general, so...!"

Qiao Ruixin couldn't wait to kick it, clenched his fists with both hands, then let go and sighed, knowing that since Xiahouning is dead, he can't be Qin Xiao's opponent at all.

I only have a few thousand soldiers and horses in his hand, and Qin Xiao also has thousands of people on his side. The troops are not below him. If there is a confrontation, Qiao Ruixin is certainly not afraid of Qin Xiao, but the Hangzhou matter is not the opposite. It's as simple as hacking.

Qin Xiao now has the support of Hangzhou officials, and because he has turned the case for the Hangzhou family in the past few days, he has become the living bodhisattva in the hearts of Hangzhou gentry. When Xia Huning was alive, he also used the national law to fight against Qin Xiao. Can't do anything, let alone mention that he is a great general in the army.

When Xiahouning was alive, under Qin Xiaoji's strategic offensive, he was already at a disadvantage. Now that Xiahouning is dead, the Shence Army is even more defeated.

"Zhong Lang, what shall we do next?" Qi Shen asked Qiao Ruixin with a solemn expression, cautiously asked.

"What else can I do?" Qiao Ruixin said in a huff: "Stop the soldier, the flying pigeon will pass the book, report to the general, and wait for the command of the general." Scanning a group of people around him, he said solemnly: "Yes

Be honest with me afterwards, Qin Xiao's group of people are staring at us, don't let him find a handle. "

Although facing Qin Xiao, the Shence Army is at an absolute disadvantage, but at least the Shence Army is still stationed in the city. Qiao Ruixin does not know what Zuo Xuanji will plan next, but there is one thing he is sure of. The Shence Army must stay in the city. Once it withdraws from the city, the Shence Army's plan to get involved in Jiangnan will be completely defeated.

So before the next order of General Zuo Xuanji arrives, he must not be caught by Qin Xiao's gang.

Qiao Ruixin felt uncomfortable thinking of trembling in front of Qin Xiao from now on.

Qiao Ruixin's mood, Qin Xiao didn't have time to pay attention to it.

After taking Lin Hong out of Lin's house, he directly handed Lin Hong to Yuwen Chengchao, and after making some arrangements, he went directly to the Cishi Mansion first.

Lin Hong’s hands ensure that Baofenglong will not fall into the hands of other forces. Qin Xiao has not forgotten the plan to recruit the new army from beginning to end. The prerequisite for recruiting the new army is to have sufficient military resources. Otherwise, everything is just a castle in the air.

The treasury of the imperial court definitely cannot count on it.

The National Treasury is already very weak. In addition, Xiahouning died in the south of the Yangtze River. Before his death, he had conflicts with Qin Xiao. Of course, it is impossible for the state minister to support Qin Xiao in recruiting new troops in order to recover Xiling.

So Qin Xiao's only hope is the Jiangnan family.

Although the princess's promise is important, it cannot be fulfilled without the support of the Jiangnan family.

Grabbing Lin Hong from the Shence Army also ensures that a large amount of Jiangnan's assets will not fall into the hands of other forces. As long as the Jiangnan family survives, it will also guarantee the source of military resources for recruiting the new army.

Qin Xiao is now acting in the south of the Yangtze River, and his choice of advance and retreat is very clear. As long as it is conducive to the preparation of the new army, he will definitely go all out. Once obstacles hinder him, he will never be merciful.

When I returned to the Cishi Mansion, it was already lunch. What Qin Xiao could not imagine was that a large number of people gathered in front of the Cishi Mansion and saw Qin Xiao riding a horse and stopped in front of the Cishi Mansion. The group of people stared at Qin Xiao, which made Qin Xiao wonder if his face was engraved.

"Are you... Qin Shaoqing from Dali Temple?" a man not far from Qin Xiao asked cautiously.

Seeing that these people are all in silk clothes, Qin Xiao vaguely understood what he said with a smile: "Exactly, I don't know...?"

Before speaking, the man already showed excitement. He turned around and said, "It's Qin Shaoqing, it's Qin Shaoqing!" Without a word, he fell to his knees with a thump: "The villain Song Xuezhong, I have seen Master Shaoqing. , Master Shaoqing’s grace to survive, the Song family will never forget it!"

The young man in front of the others is Qin Xiao.

"Get up all, get up all!" Qin Xiao got off his horse, threw the horse's rein to the soldiers next to him, and stepped forward to support Song Xuezhong: "What are you doing?"

"Master Shaoqing, we are all sinners who were previously wronged and imprisoned. If Master Shaoqing hadn't been able to observe the details, we would have lost our heads." Song Xuezhong said gratefully: "It was Master Shaoqing for us. To clear away the grievances, it was also Master Shaoqing who saved us, the whole family, the old and the children. For this kindness, we must personally come to thank you for whatever we say."

Someone immediately said: "Master Shaoqing's great kindness is not just a few words of thanks."

A group of people are grateful, Qin Xiao helped it up

Song Xuezhong said loudly: "Everyone got up and talked. This is the Cishi Mansion. What kind of style is everyone like this?"

Everyone heard the words and felt that it was indeed wrong for everyone to kneel in front of the Cishi Mansion. Following Qin Xiao's instructions, they all stood up, and Song Xuezhong turned around and said: "Come here, come here...!"

Immediately someone came up with something, but there were a few plaques, some with the words "Hanging on the Mirror", some with the words "Clearly Observe Qiuhao", and the other with the words "Clean and Honest".

"My lord, this is the plaque we dedicate to the adults." Song Xuezhong said: "These words, the adults are well-deserved."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Qin Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "The official came to the south of the Yangtze River by the will of the saint, and also came to Hangzhou to review the case file on the order of the princess. The Tang Dynasty established the country by law, if anyone suffers from it. Injustice, the official rehabilitates it, and that is also a matter of his own. It is really not worthy of these plaques."

A man who is over fifty years old stepped forward and respectfully said: "Master Shaoqing, you said that this is something that many people can't do. The villain is here today to replace Twenty-seven people in the Hua family would like to thank you. My father wanted to come to thank you personally. It’s just that he was weak in the prison and couldn’t come today. The old man said that he will come in person when he gets better. Come...!"

Qin Xiao stared at the man and interrupted: "Your last name is Hua?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, but immediately said respectfully: "The villain, Hua Kuan!"

Qin Xiao went to Luoyue Temple last night and learned that Luoyue Temple was the land of the Hua family before, and later sold it to Dao Aunt Luo Yue. He originally wanted to take the time to get someone to find the Hua family and ask about the origin of Dao Aunt Luo Yue. , Who knows that he hasn't sent someone to look for it, the people from the Hua family are here today.

He didn’t know if the Hua Kuan in front of him was the Hua family who sold Taoist temples, but a large group of people gathered in front of the Cishi’s Mansion. Body, wait until the matter is up, and then invite you to sit down." Xiang Huakuan said: "Mr. Hua, there is something that the officer wants to know about you, please come to the house to tell you a story."

Hua Kuan didn't expect Qin Shaoqing to look at herself differently and hurriedly bowed his hands.

Everyone also knows that Qin Xiao is busy with official duties and is not to be disturbed too much, but Qin Xiao's staying with Huakuan still surprises everyone, but they don't have much to say, and they all said goodbye to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao sent the people away, and then led Hua Kuan into the mansion. After he was seated in the Debian Hall, Hua Kuan saw that there were no other people in the hall, but he was a little nervous. Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, you Don't be nervous, there is actually a small matter I want to ask you about."

"Sir, please speak!"

"Do you know Luo Yueguan?"

"Luo Yue Guan?" Hua Kuan couldn't remember for a while, he pondered, and finally said: "I know, the lord is talking about the Taoist temple in Beicheng? Actually, there is no Luo Yue Guan, this Luo Yue Guan is People in the neighborhood called it arbitrarily, and there used to be a Taoist temple. After the saint enthroned, he admired Taoism and Taoism emerged in the world. Hangzhou also cultivated many Taoist temples. My father also donated a Taoist temple, and several foreign Taoist priests stayed in the Taoist temple. But those Taoist priests had no abilities. Some even said that they were fake Taoists, often secretly eating meat and drinking. Such rumours spread, and naturally no one would go to Taoist temple to offer incense. Later, a Taoist priest died of illness, and a few remained. The famous Taoist priest also ran away. Since then, there have been rumors that the Taoist temple is haunted...!" He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is just a random fabrication. Where can it be haunted, but this way, then The Taoist temple has become more and more deserted, and no one dared to approach it. We wanted to sell that piece of land, and the price dropped again and again, but no one cared until Luo Yue bought it."
