Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Du Hongsheng left Kyoto and went to work in southern Xinjiang. Qin Xiao knew that in the eyes of officials, Du Hongsheng was like an overnight tea that had been brewed in tea. It could be thrown as far as it could be. No one would care whether Du Hongsheng went to southern Xinjiang. Able to dismiss him far away, not to see it, it is not upset.
When he was in Xiling, he didn't have much interest in official affairs, and he didn't know much about it.
But in just a few days, he saw the cruelty of officialdom.
As Du Hongsheng said, I'm afraid that I will die in southern Xinjiang after this time.
But for Qin Xiao, Du Hongsheng left from Kyoto alive after entering the Beijing trio, and now the only thing that worries him is Han Yunong.
He went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice specifically to see Han Yunong, and by the way, to learn about the progress of the case. If Han Yunong comes out as soon as possible, he can leave Kyoto with Han Yunong as soon as possible.
The old part of General Kuroba was stationed in Woye Town. Although the conditions there were bitter and cold, it was better than Kyoto, which was full of traps.
Zhu Dongshan, the attendant of the Criminal Ministry, came out to meet Qin Xiao in person. He only said that the case was under trial. Han Yunong, as an important witness, should not meet anyone in the near future. He spoke with a gentle attitude and only allowed Qin Xiao to stay in the inn. If there is progress, someone will be sent over to inform.
Qin Xiao waited at the inn for a few days, naturally it was impossible for someone from the Criminal Ministry to come over and inform him of the progress of the case.
Qin Xiao also took advantage of these few days to recover from his injuries. Besides, it’s not good to go to Gu’s family anymore. After all, Gu Baiyi has to work as a errand during the day, and before Fan Wenzheng’s case is thoroughly understood, the Kyoto Mansion is also prepared, and Gu Baiyi often works at night. Value, there is only Qiuniang in the family.
If you are a man, if you run to Gu's house twice in three days, and you still run to Gu's house, who has only one woman, you will inevitably be made irresponsible remarks.
Qin Xiao didn't care, but had to think about Qiuniang.
He didn't know whether Qiuniang bought a new cruise ship, let alone whether he had gone to the Taipinghui river to attract tourists.
Although he doesn't have a good impression of Kyoto, he still has a deep feeling for one thing, that is, the news of Kyoto is indeed very well informed.
There are many tea shops and wine shops near the Sipingfang Changle Inn. Every day there are people drinking tea and wine. When gossiping, some people gather together to comment on what happened everywhere.
The case that has been circulating the most in the market recently is naturally the case of Fan Wenzheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
Shijing Xiaomin also fears the Criminal Ministry like a tiger, so when he talks about it, he will naturally not say that it is not the Criminal Ministry. Since Fan Wenzheng has been detained by the Criminal Ministry, everyone naturally talked about Fan Wenzheng's guilt.
Jiayu Pass was closed, and news from Xiling arrived late, but after all, it came.
So the people in Kyoto soon learned that the Xiling family rebelled and murdered General Kuroba, and in collusion with the Wutuo people, occupied the entire Xiling.
In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, Xiling was controlled by the Xiling family, but no one dared to say that the empire lost Xiling, but now people know that the Xiling territory of the Tang Dynasty really fell into the hands of the Xiling rebels. , And the Black Feather general who forced the retreat of the 100,000 Utuo cavalry back then died for the country.
In the rumors of the people in Kyoto, Xiling's rebellion became more and more clear.
So everyone knows that the Xiling family set up a trap to pretend to fight and lure the general out of the gate. After the Black Feather General arrived at Xiling with the prestigious Black Feather Night Crow, he soon discovered the Xiling family’s conspiracy, but unfortunately he had no hands. Soldiers were available, so they were killed by the Xiling family.
As for why the Ruoxiling family rebelled and even killed General Black Feather, some people also gave reasonable reasons.
During the Wutuo Rebellion, the Xiling family colluded with each other and ignored the Wutuo people. If it weren't for the Black Feather General Xueye to capture Khan, Xiling would have become a Chinese meal for the Wutuo people.
Although the imperial court granted favor and pardoned the guilt of the Xiling family, these ungrateful generations were always worried that the imperial court would settle accounts after the fall, secretly flirting with the Wutuo people, and even resorted to the Wutuo people to contend with the court.
But to take refuge in the Utuo people, one needs to cast a name.
The Tang people that Wu Tuo people hate most is General Hei Yu.
So the Xiling family teamed up to kill General Hei Yu, in fact, to show their loyalty to the Wutuo people. After murdering General Hei Yu, the Xiling family got the support of the Wu Tuo people and rebelled in Xiling.
This argument spread first in Kyoto, and then spread around Kyoto.
The black feather general is so mighty, why can he be harmed by the Xiling family?
The answer is also very simple.
Because Fan Wenzheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was negligent in his duties, but failed to perform his duties in his position. The Changsheng Army was delayed in mobilizing and leaving the generals. As a result, the generals had no soldiers. The Xiling family also saw that the Changsheng Army was not with the generals. .
Therefore, the chief culprit who caused the killing of General Black Feather and the loss of Xiling's city and land was the official of the Ministry of War, the Shangshu Fan Wenzheng and his corpse.
The loss of Xiling and the death of the empire's famous general, General Kuroba, naturally made people filled with indignation.
The saint was also extremely angry about this, and ordered the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate Fan Wenzheng's case, so the general died for the country and was a tragic hero of the empire. Fan Wenzheng and others were the worms of the empire, and the sin was worth ten thousand deaths. The saint was wise and wise and resolutely pursued the crime. The responsibility of the minister.
Therefore, the people in Kyoto and the people all hope that the imperial court can severely punish Fan Wenzheng and other military officials, asking them to pay the price for losing Xiling because of their dereliction of duty.
The students from various academies in Kyoto even jointly wrote a letter asking the saint to execute Fan Wenzheng and other officials, so as to give the world an explanation.
Qin Xiao listened to Fan Wenzheng's righteous indignation in the tea shop, and praised the saint for being wise.
Gu Baiyi's prediction was not bad. The news of the loss of Xiling was spread in the empire. Someone must come out to face the condemnation of the army and the people of the world. However, Fan Wenzheng has become this chess piece, only reprimanding from the beginning. Fan Wenzheng and others neglected their duties, and even later they have even designated Fan Wenzheng and others as traitors.
Qin Xiao knew that Fan Wenzheng and many officials of the Ministry of War were definitely mortal.
However, the prestige of the saint has not been damaged. It is precisely because of the rapid action of the criminal ministry that people feel that the saint is wise to punish the culprit.
On February 15, the sixth year of Tiansheng, after less than half a month of trial by the Ministry of Justice, the court finally issued the first decree concerning the case of Fan Wenzheng. Fan Wenzheng and the other 13 officials of the Ministry of Defense were negligent in their duties and did not even transfer troops. After leaving the customs, Xiling was occupied by the rebels. The crime was extremely heinous, and the fourteen officials in Fan Wenzheng were all sentenced to capital punishment.
When the decree spread, people in Kyoto were full of joy and some even set off firecrackers to celebrate.
The people in the teahouse and wine shop were even more excited, praising the wise man of the saint.
Qin Xiao looked on coldly, and for him, who knew everything well, there was not a hint of joy, but a kind of helpless sorrow.
Damn it right
, But his death could not solve the problem of Xiling at all.
Compared with mobilizing soldiers to quell the rebellion, Fan Wen is alive or dead. Qin Xiao really doesn’t care, but it was precisely on the issue of going out of Guan and quelling the rebellion. They were delighted that Fan Wenzheng and other officials were about to be executed. No one mentioned that the court should send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
Sitting in the corner of the tea shop, Qin Xiao was unhappy when he heard a group of people laugh and laugh.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he was bored and lazy. He hadn't been to Gu Baiyi for a few days after thinking about it. Now Fan Wenzheng's case has almost been settled. I really want to go to Gu Baiyi to drink, drink and chat. Besides, I also want to know. Has Qiuniang already bought the boat?
He paid for the tea. Before leaving the tea shop, he heard the sound of horses hissing outside. He was a little confused. He went out and followed the prestige. Only a few tall horses on the street were rushing towards this side. The stalls on the street have been rushed to pieces, and the shouts are endless.
Qin Xiao thought it was the capital's wealthy prince who was arranging his horses, but when the horses approached, he realized that the horses were all Taoist priests in Taoist robes.
The horses came too fast, and the pedestrians on the street dodged. An old man with unstable legs staggered and fell on the street. The children were so scared that they cried. Seeing that the riding priests did not feel anything. The sign of a horse, if it rushes over, the old man must be trampled under his horse's hooves.
Qin Xiao was astonished, thinking that these Taoist priests were even more arrogant than the wealthy dudes. Is it possible that people who trample to death in the street are not afraid?
People only know how to dodge, where they can take care of the old man. There are two stalls still hurriedly cleaning up, they are worried that the stalls will be knocked over, and there is no one to eat.
Qin Xiao was annoyed, rushed over, picked up a small chair, saw the first horse rushing over, and shouted: "Quickly get out of the way." The small chair in his hand threw over the head horse, hitting it. On his head, the horse was frightened, a long hissed sound, and a person stood up. The Taoist priest on the horse was caught off guard, exclaimed, and fell off the horse.
The next few horses immediately reined their horses, rolled over and dismounted, and rushed forward, shouting one after another: "Master...!" The Taoist priest who had fallen off the horse was helped up.
The lifted Taoist priest was in his early fifties, with a long beard fluttering, wearing a gossiping robe, and a Taoist temple on his head.
After being lifted up, the old Taoist was furious and cursed: "Who smashed the horse of the Dao? Get out of the Dao."
A Taoist priest pointed to Qin Xiao long ago and said loudly: "Master, it is him. I saw that he smashed the chair with a chair."
The old Taoist immediately looked at Qin Xiao and saw that Qin Xiao was dressed in common clothes, he was obviously just an ordinary person at a young age, his eyes showed a sharp look, and he sneered: "Tie him up for me."
Several Taoist priests immediately came forward, and one pointed at Qin Xiao and cursed: "The courageous dog and the crap, he will be caught before he is bound, and he will kneel down for the master."
The people around were watching from a distance, no one dared to approach, and their expressions were different.
"Dog things boldly in the daytime, Qingtian rushing and hurting people in the street in the daytime, is there a king?" Qin Xiao stood upright, his face grim, and his heart was really annoyed.
Being in Kyoto, Qin Xiao didn’t want to get into trouble anymore, but these Taoist priests were unscrupulous and rampant. He really couldn’t stand it, and the shot was only to save people. At this time, the Taoist priests spoke out insults, Qin Xiao naturally didn't have any good looks for them.
