The Golden Age Chapter 835: The shame of the empire

Qin Xiao didn't expect that when he returned to Beijing, his face became extremely ugly when he encountered such a frenzied incident.

"Jiangnan is just in chaos, and the saint certainly doesn't want any changes in the surrounding countries." Su Yu said gently: "You don't want to trouble this matter. The court really wants to investigate. The old man will do it himself, so as not to affect you. You have a bright future. , Don’t get involved because of these things."

"My lord, as an official of the court, if you are afraid of being implicated in your failure to perform your duties, you might as well take off your official hat." Qin Xiao sneered and asked: "Yuan Gai Wushuang competes and kills people along the way. His opponents are all in the martial arts. Person? How old is this person and how is martial arts?"

"Similar to your age." Su Yu said: "The identity of the people killed before still needs to be investigated, but the person killed outside the city is an ordinary citizen." He stood up and walked to himself At the side of the case, he took a file and handed it to Qin Xiaodao: "These are the details of what happened that day. Many testimonies were very detailed. The identity of the victim has also been verified, called Wang Xiao, who just turned 22 this year. He is a filial son, as his name suggests. He originally cultivated the land for a living, and his mother was infected. It took a lot of money to cure the disease. So he came to Kyoto and wanted to find more money for his mother to see a doctor. He hadn’t even entered the city yet. I ran into Yuangai Wushuang."

"It's just an ordinary farmer?" Qin Xiao looked through the file, his expression even more stern.

Su Yu nodded: "We have been married for three years, have a pair of children, and live in poverty. Yuan Gai Wushuang took a fancy to him and used a gold ingot to lure him. I never thought that Yuangai Wushuang had a murderous intention. Many people saw him sign the life and death agreement. He was illiterate. Someone around Yuangai Wushuang read the life and death agreement, and someone testified beside him, and some people saw the strangeness and persuaded Wang Xiao not to Do it...!" He sighed and said: "Three ingots of gold, don't say Wang Xiao, who is short of silver, will be moved by someone else."

Qin Xiao looked at the case file and slowly said: "After pressing the fingerprint, Yuan Gai Wushuang took out a knife. The name of the knife was Hongmang. Wang Xiao was shocked. He wanted to back down. Yuan Gai Wushuang was not allowed to live or die. The contract is signed and the martial arts contest must be fulfilled. Wang Xiao's bare hands, Yuan Gai Wushuang cut Wang Xiao's head with a single knife...!" He clenched his fists, the veins violently burst, and there was a chill in his eyes: "Find a farmer to compete in martial arts. ?? This is called competition? This is slaughter!"

"High-sounding murder." Su Yu was also filled with righteous indignation and sneered: "After the incident, people around me all scolded, Yuan Gai Wushuang was brazen, and said that the Tang Dynasty was not only vulnerable, but also greedy for money. A case outside the city, a glimpse of the case. The whole picture can be seen. The people that this beast killed before must have been ordinary people. He is less than twenty years old. Not everyone in this world can have the same skill as you at this age. He was deliberately ugly to Datang. ."

"The Bohai Mission did not say anything?"

Su Yu said: "This time the Bohai delegation was led by Bohai Guoyou, and the Ministry of Ritual Judgment was the deputy envoy. After the incident, the deputy envoy Zhao Zhengyu came to Dali Temple for questioning. For arrogance, he brought the life and death agreement where Wang Xiao pressed his handprint and claimed that it was Yuan Gai Wushuang's ability to compete with Wang Xiao. There is a life and death agreement as a proof. Wang Xiao's skill is not as good as a human. Even if he is killed, he cannot be held accountable. Gai Wushuang’s guilt. As for Yuan Gai Wushuang, we sent someone to stare at him. After he entered the Sifang Pavilion with the mission, he did not come out again."

Qin Xiao sneered and said: "Yuan Gai Wushuang massacred 36 people of the Tang Dynasty. If he leaves the Tang Dynasty safe and sound, it will be a shame to the Tang Dynasty."

"Who said no." After all, Su Yu is very mature, and said with earnest heart:

"Qin Xiao, don't make trouble at this juncture. This case involves the relationship between the two countries, and everything depends on the meaning of the palace. If the meaning of the saint requires us to investigate thoroughly, then it will be true. When the time comes, we We can't spare the beast. But if there is no word in the palace, our Dali Temple can't act rashly. Yuan Gai Wushuang is in the capital of our Tang Dynasty, it is easy to break him to his bones, but who can bear the consequences? The saint will definitely consider it carefully."

Qin Xiao knew that he was furious and it was useless here, nodded, thinking that the Bohai delegation came to beg for relatives, and did not know if Yuangai Wushuang made such a trouble, whether the saint would still give marriage? After thinking for a while, he asked softly: "My elders, I heard that they are here to beg Datang. Yuan Gai Wushuang is so provocative. Do you think this marriage can happen?"

"Perhaps." Su Yu shook his head: "This kind of thing, the old man has never met before. I have established a country in the Tang Dynasty, and before that, there has never been a precedent for marriage to surrounding countries. This is the first one. Suffer. Logically speaking, since the saints promised to let them send missions, it means they promised marriage. You must know that the saints broke the precedent, naturally after careful consideration, if they did not plan, the saints would certainly not This precedent was set. Thirty-six people died, of course it is not a trivial matter, but...!" At this point, he stopped talking, just smiled and shook his head.

Qin Xiao asked softly: "What's the matter?"

"If the saint promised to marry for some reason at the beginning of the fight, will she change her original intention because of 36 lives?" Su Yu picked up the tea cup, picked up the tea lid and teased the tea foam , Did not rush to drink tea, and continued: "The emperor's thoughts are different from ordinary people like us. That is to take care of the overall situation."

Qin Xiao clenched his fist and said: "Suffering from this strange shame, doesn't the saint change his mind?"

"Let’s be upset, saints don’t." Su Yu smiled faintly, "This has happened for two days, the palace hasn’t spoken yet, and after the incident, the Bohai delegation is still stationed in the Sifang Pavilion. The old man guessed This is already the attitude of the palace."

Qin Xiao only felt the unspeakable humiliation, and he pondered slightly before asking: "My lord, if the court really wants to give a marriage, who will it go?"

"This is naturally decided by the saint, the old man is not good." Su Yu caressed his beard: "Should choose a young lady from the official's house, and then grant the title of princess. But this will happen soon. As a result, it’s useless for us to guess here. Yes, you just returned to Beijing, and the old lady asked someone to arrange a banquet and will pick you up tonight."

"You are polite, you don't have to." Qin Xiao whispered: "Don't you say that you don't want to show up before? Let's look at each other, I'm afraid some people won't be pleasing to the eye."

Su Yu smiled and nodded with a teachable expression, and said: "If you don't like it, go to the old man's house tonight. Let's cook a few dishes and have a drink."

Qin Xiao laughed, and did not directly agree. After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice, "My lord, what news is there after the princess returns to Beijing?" He knew that after he returned to Beijing, it was best not to inquire about the princess. In order to avoid making the saint suspicious, Qin Xiao would not speak easily in front of other people, but the old man Su Yu is his own, and the old man is most afraid of getting into trouble, even if he asks him, he will not say it. , Very safe.

"No." Su Yu shook his head: "In fact, many people don't even know that the princess has returned to Beijing." After a pause, he said softly: "The old man knows that you are protecting the princess in the south of the Yangtze River and you have contributed to it, but

...... Don't ask about things in the palace, knowing too much is of no benefit. "

Su Yu has been an official for many years. Although she doesn't show up or leaks on weekdays, she feels like a mirror in her heart.

The Suzhou Rebellion will inevitably cause a great blow to the princess. Even if the rebellion is successfully quelled, Su Yu also understands that the saint is likely to be jealous of the princess because of the Jiangnan Rebellion. How will the saint treat the princess next? Su Yu can also guess a bit, but the affairs of the palace are often the most terrible thing in the world. It is best not to be provoked, otherwise once there is a slight error, the head will not know what it is.

Qin Xiao knew that Su Yu would not say much even if he knew anything. This was actually for his own good, and stood up and said: "The adults are busy first, and the government will retire first."

"It's okay tonight, so I will go back to drink with the old man." Su Yu smiled kindly and waved: "Go!"

As soon as Qin Xiao left the house, Yun Lu ran over, saw Qin Xiao, and hurriedly said: "Qin Shaoqing, summoned in the palace, summoned by the saint!"

Qin Xiao knew that the saint would definitely summon him, but he didn't expect to be so soon without delay. He entered the palace and was taken to the imperial study room. After prostrate, the saint smiled and said: "Qin Xiao, this time you are in the south of the Yangtze River. It’s an errand, well done!"

"It all depends on the grace of the saint." Qin Xiao said loudly: "The minister has no credit."

"Don't rush to show your merits." The saint seemed to be in a good mood, and raised his hand and said: "Get up and talk!"

Qin Xiao thought that the effect of the three million taels of silver is really not small. Every time he saw the emperor, he had to kneel for a long time, but today he immediately got himself up. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts. After grinding, it seems that the silver is in place, and it can also buy the emperor.

"I heard that you led the convoy of soldiers and horses to enter Beijing this time. Many of those soldiers and horses were previously rebels?" The saint stared at Qin Xiao and asked.

Qin Xiao didn't change his face, and respectfully said: "Yes, some of them are deceived by the Queen Mother, but they have all come to their senses and turned away from the dark."

"Are you sure they are awakened?" the saint asked lightly.

Qin Xiao knows that every sentence he responds will be related to the life and death of many people, and his tone is very firm: "The minister dare to guarantee with the head!"

The saint thought a little, and then said: "If you say this, I will forgive the congregation of the repentant Queen Mother. However, I heard that there are some remaining parties who rebelled in Qingzhou, and these people have also come to their senses. ?"

"Yes!" Qin Xiao said immediately: "Many of them are the remnants of the Qingzhou army. They used to be in trouble in Qingzhou, then moved to Jiangnan and hid for many years."

The sage sneered and said: "Qin Xiao, you are really brave enough to accept the Qingzhou rebels. Do you know that the court has been chasing these rebels for so many years, but you are so good that you brought them Gyeonggi, once they have trouble in Gyeonggi, can they think of the consequences?"

"Think about it!" Qin Xiao raised his head and said, "If they rebelled in Gyeonggi, the whole army would be wiped out and no one would survive!"
