The Golden Age Chapter 834: Deed of life and death

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "My lord, wait a moment." He took a bamboo tube out of his body like a juggling, and presented it to Su Yu with both hands: "My lord, do you see if this gift is what you like?"

"Give me a gift for the old man?" Su Yu took it with a grin on her face, opened it, took a look, went up and smelled it, and then closed her eyes to show her enjoyment: "Authentic West Lake Longjing, the young man is not deceived, the real thing, the real thing!"

Qin Xiao laughed and said: "I know that the old man has this hobby on weekdays, so I specially brought a tube to the adult. There are many brands in the market under the banner of West Lake Longjing, but according to the official understanding, this year is also Just a few hundred kilograms, half of which will be paid to the palace, and the nobles in Kyoto will also have to take a share, plus the officials of the prefectures, every year when the tea comes out, it is almost out of stock. Xiaguan I managed to save this tube in Hangzhou. Although there are not many, it is better than nothing. However, the Xiaguan has asked that side to guarantee that even if something big happens every year in the future, ten kilograms of pure West Lake Longjing tea a year will be kept for the Xiaguan. The officials are here to honor your old man."

Su Yu, of course, knows the preciousness of the pure West Lake Longjing. Although he is a Dali monk, he is really not qualified to get authentic goods from Jiangnan. He occasionally visits other nobles for a while and can’t drink. Second-rate.

The tea lover's preference for tea is just like the soldier's preference for armor. Even if Qin Xiao gave him a tael of silver, it would be better to give him a cup of tea to make him happy. He held it in his hand, putting it down, and smiled openly. : "The old man knows that you are sure to do things, hahaha, the old man takes this love. Sit down and talk."

After Qin Xiao sat down, Su Yu said: "This trip to the south of the Yangtze River, you are outstanding, everyone is happy for you. The old man is also worried about what will happen to you there. Now he is back in full, old man. I feel at ease."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Sage blesses, princess protects, nothing will happen."

"Qin Xiao, you must not be proud of taking credit." Su Yu lowered her voice and said, "You have done the work, and Dali Temple is naturally happy for you, but you are in the limelight, so you may not be pleasing to many people in the center. At this time, we must act in a low-key manner, and we must not be proud of ourselves."

Qin Xiao knew that Su Yu was kind, and said with gratitude: "Don't worry, my lord, your teachings will be kept in mind by the officials."

"Shallow water can't raise big fish." Su Yu sighed: "You have made such a contribution, and the saint will definitely support you. I am afraid that this Dali Temple will not be able to keep you. But no matter where you go, you will remember it to the old man. , Dali Temple will always treat you as its own person."

Qin Xiao respectfully said: "Although I haven't spent a long time in Dali Temple, I don't dare to forget the adults' care for the officials."

"In fact, there is nothing to take care of." Su Yu sighed: "In another year, the old man should also pay official duties. He has been in officialdom for the rest of his life. Although he has been regarded as a mediocre talent by many people, fortunately, Nothing is wrong, peace and safety is blessing." He pondered slightly, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The saint is still very important to you. Shu. You have offended Xiahou's family this time. Maybe they will make you stupid behind them, but you must be careful about everything."

Qin Xiao nodded, and asked softly: "My lord, An Xinghou is there...?"

"His coffin did not enter the city." Su Yu whispered: "When the Shence Army escorted the coffin outside of Kyoto, the state minister directly sent the coffin to the imperial tomb. I heard that the saint Longen Formidable, an cemetery was given to Anxinghou on the west side of the imperial mausoleum. The state minister sent someone to temporarily build a place to park the coffin. The saint ordered the Ministry of Engineering to build a tomb in the cemetery." After a pause, he sighed: "Guoxiang sees Anxing

I was my heart, but now it’s gone. Naturally, this mausoleum is also unusual. It took a lot of effort to build. The old man estimated that it might not be completed in a year or a half. "

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Isn't An Xinghou not buried for half a year?"

"The country should mean this." Su Yu put down the tea container and stroked his beard: "Xiahou's family didn't have a mourning hall, let alone a funeral. Seeing that meant, it won't be done for the time being. Think about it, An When he is assassinated, he will not look at him. If he can't catch the real murderer, the prime minister will definitely not be willing to let his son be buried in this way."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly with a solemn expression, knowing that the blood debt of Xiahou's family and Jiangu would definitely not be good.

He thought that Su Yu would ask himself about An Xinghou's assassination in Hangzhou, but Su Yu didn't mean to ask at all. Instead, he served a cup of tea, which seemed very comfortable.

Qin Xiao also took a sip of tea, and then asked: "My lord, I heard that the Bohai delegation committed a crime in Beijing?"

"You know?" Su Yu put down the teacup and sneered: "These barbarians, in my Datang country, behaved so presumptuously under the eyes of the emperor, and changed the temper of the old man when he was young. They are endless."

"My lord, what is going on that can make you so angry?" Qin Xiao said: "The Bohai people killed people outside the city. Why did it happen?"

Su Yu shook his head and said: "Not alone, the first son of Bohai has killed more than 30 people...!"

Qin Xiao was taken aback, and said in amazement: "More than thirty people?" I thought that Qiuniang only said that one person was killed outside the city. It seems that the news is not accurate, but the number of killing one person and killing more than 30 people is in number. It's a world of difference. Even if Qiuniang's news is wrong, it is impossible to be so wrong. I just feel that there is a lot of strangeness in it.

Su Yu turned to look at Qin Xiao and said strangely: "Don't you know?"

"The lower officials only heard that the Bohai people killed one person outside the city. He didn't know what Bohai son, let alone over 30 people?" Qin Xiao frowned and said, "My lord, the murderer was Bohai son? More than 30 people were killed by him alone?"

Su Yu nodded and said: "The first son of Bohai is the son of Bohai Molizhi Yuangaijian. What is his name, Yuangai Wushuang? Listen, how arrogant is this name? This Yuangai Wushuang is really a mad dog, no, he Even a dog is inferior to a beast, and a beast is inferior." At this point, the emotions were even a little excited, and his breath accelerated. Qin Xiao was even more stunned when he saw it.

He knows that Su Yu has always been steady, and he is calm about the big things, which can make this old man so angry. It seems that what Yuan Gai Wushuang has done is indeed exhausted.

"As soon as this dog entered the territory of my Datang, it began to kill people, all the way to the outside of Kyoto." Su Yu clenched a fist, blowing his beard and said: "Back and forth, according to what he said, it has been killed. At 36 people, he also said that Datang pays attention to the number of heaven and earth. Before he arrived in Beijing, he killed 35 people and killed one person outside the city. Just make up the number of heaven and earth. Tell me, this is a man. Say something?"

Qin Xiao was even more surprised: "Did he admit it himself?"

"He arrived outside the city half a day earlier than the mission. After the murder, he was immediately surrounded." Su Yu explained: "He claimed to be Bohai Shizi Yuan and Gai Wushuang, and he told the onlookers vigorously that he entered the big After Tang, he started killing people from Liaodong, with more than 30 lives. He spoke like a storyteller in a teahouse. He was excited. The Criminal Ministry first got the news and sent people out of the city to arrest. It happened that the Bohai delegation arrived. Lu Junzhong knew that the lunatic was really the son of Bohai, so he deliberately ignored it, so someone reported the case to Dali Temple."

"There is nothing difficult about this case." Qin Xiao said with a sneer: "Even if King Bohai killed people in Datang, he would still be punished by the Law of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of shit, killing people, he couldn't run away if he wanted to. My lord, the case is still in the hands of our Dali Temple? If the lord finds it difficult to handle, this case is handed over to the lower official. If the lower official does not remove the head of the other person, he will be a Chinese in vain!"

Su Yu shook his head and sighed: "If it can be done, you don't need to do it, the old man will convict him himself."

"Why can't it be done?" Qin Xiao frowned, "Is it because he is the eldest son of Bohai?"

Su Yu shook his head and said: "No. You are right. The prince has committed the same crime as the common people. A Bohai son really wants to kill in Datang, and he can confess himself and he can be detained immediately. But.... Hey, Yuangai Wushuang is cunning and cunning. He killed someone, but we can't be convicted."

Qin Xiao looked puzzled, Su Yu asked softly: "Have you heard of the life and death agreement?"

"Life and death agreement?" Qin Xiao was stunned and nodded: "I heard. I heard that there are people in the rivers and lakes fighting duel. In order to avoid retribution, the life and death agreement was signed before the fight, which means that no matter who is killed, It’s up to you to bear all the consequences, and no one else will be held accountable. However, this kind of life and death agreement is rarely signed. According to the Law of the Tang Dynasty, it is necessary to sign the life and death agreement, and it does not violate the law."

He heard that Mr. Shu tells the story, and there are many bridges between heroes and heroes. This life and death agreement has also been heard by Mr. Shu, but he has never seen it.

But he realized something in an instant, and slightly changed his color and said: "My lord, isn't it...?"

"Yes!" Su Yu nodded slightly: "The thirty-six people killed by Yuangai Wushuang have all signed a life and death agreement, and those thirty-six life and death agreements are in his hands. I established the country by military force in the Tang Dynasty, and the people often The use of force to resolve disputes, in some places where people are aggressive, and even thousands of people fight with weapons. The court once ordered the prohibition of fighting, but it did not prohibit martial arts duels. In fact, the court also considered that if martial arts were completely banned, my Tang Dynasty's martial arts would be sluggish. , Men have become like embroidered pillows, weak and weak, Datang will have no future."

Qin Xiao took a breath, and finally understood why Su Yu said that the case could not be handled.

The Tang people were strong and established the country by military force. Although large-scale armed fighting was forbidden, there was no total ban on military weapons. Such things as life and death agreements are rare. Set up a life and death sign to resolve disputes on their own, and it is up to them to go.

I never thought that this would be used by Yuan Gai Wushuang.

If the thirty-six people killed were really willing to sign the life and death agreement before the contest, then after being killed, Yuan Gai had no hands holding the life and death agreement. It can be said that this is a contest of life and death, and wants to cure him. It’s really not easy.

"Those thirty-six people are willing to sign a life and death agreement?" Qin Xiao said with a cold face: "Are there any being persecuted?"

Su Yu said: "If it weren’t for Yuangai Wushuang to say it himself, we don’t know that he killed so many people along the way. Yesterday Dali Temple sent people to investigate along the way to find out if this really happened. But there are many eyewitnesses to the case outside the city. Although Yuan Gai Wushuang is a mad dog, he is very cunning. He used gold ingots as bait to lure others into signing a life and death agreement. Those people saw him as harmless. It looks like, who would have thought that another beast was just a beast under his skin. Once the life and death agreement is signed, this beast will be exposed and immediately kill people!"
