Chapter 685 Hospitality Jinyiwei
"Xiaoqing Xiaohong, what are you two yelling about? I don't know that the young lady and uncle are having dinner, ah... wait, what did you just say, the official document is here?" ! ”
Baozi When the little maid heard the shouts of the two girls outside, she didn't react immediately. Her first reaction was that they couldn't let them disturb the young lady and uncle's meal, so she opened the door curtain and took out the posture of being close to the older girl to educate her. Two little girls yelling.
But they only said half a sentence, and then they reacted belatedly. Wait, they just said that the official document from the Ministry of Punishment has been released? !
"Miss, uncle, the official document from the Ministry of Punishment has come down."
After Baozi's little maid reacted, her little hand holding the door curtain trembled, and then she immediately turned around and reported to Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an with excitement on her face. Her excited little face was flushed, as if she had picked up hundreds of taels of silver notes. of.
Zhu Pingan had long heard the shouting of the two girls outside.
“Bring it here, let me take a look.”
Zhu Pingan put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said to the little maid with buns at the door.
“No.”
Li Shu pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile and shook her head, her beautiful eyes were full of beauty.
“Why?”
Zhu Pingan was surprised. Out of habit, he blurted out a word that was destined to be understood by no one, but he quickly responded and quickly added, "I You mean, why?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Li Shu rolled her eyes cutely, her nose was tall and charming. Her lips parted slightly, and she continued: "This is not an ordinary official document, it is related to your official career. You have to take a bath, change your clothes, and burn incense to wash your hands first. You must respect the official document so that it will not turn against you." , don’t hit the smiling person. Some scholars even bathe and burn incense when reading about Zhuang, Lao, Confucius and Mencius, let alone the official documents about you, so there is no time left. ”
Shower and change clothes, burn incense and wash your hands? !
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan pursed his lips speechlessly. All the official documents from the Ministry of Punishment have been issued. Whether you are bathing or slovenly, the official documents are there, and the official documents will not be "bathed" because of you. Change clothes, burn incense and wash hands" and change the content.
In Zhu Pingan's view, this is a bit formalistic.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an knew that Li Shu meant well, and it was precisely because of his concern that he cared about these forms.
Respect is on the one hand, and psychological comfort on the other.
Isn't it just bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and washing hands? As Li Shu said, it doesn't take much time.
Therefore, there is no need not to meet Li Shu’s request.
So, Zhu Pingan shook his head with a smile, got up and went to the bathroom.
When Zhu Pingan went to the bathroom to take a bath, Zhaohui Jinggongfang, which was in the same Xicheng as the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, became noisy. The Beibingmasi Hutong in Zhaohui Jinggongfang was the source of the noise.
Many guards with knives and whistle sticks appeared in Beibingmasi Hutong, as well as Jinyiwei with embroidered spring knives on their waists. Under the leadership of the arresters and Jinyiwei Baihu, they trotted all the way to "Jianwei General's Mansion" " Then, when they were approaching the door, the guards and guards were divided into two teams. One team went to the front door, and the other team went around to the back door.
Such a large battle naturally attracted many curious people. The brave ones followed closely behind the guards and guards, while the timid ones watched from afar.
Beibing Masi Hutong is mostly home to military families. Both the masters and the servants are more courageous. Most of them leave the door open and stop to watch at the door, guessing the whereabouts of the Jin Yiwei and the servants.
"The government handles the case, and idle people avoid it."
The police officers and the royal guards shouted loudly at the door of Jianwei General's Mansion, stood apart, and separated the onlookers with expressionless faces. An open space was isolated at the entrance of the General's Mansion to prevent the masses from affecting the handling of the case.
"What are you going to do? This is the residence of Zhao Qianhu, the commander of the Xicheng Bingma Division. You must have gone to the wrong place."
When the two armored guards at the gate of General Jianwei's mansion saw this scene, they revealed their identity as Zhao Daying and stepped forward to ask. It's just a hundred households and a head catcher, but they dare to make trouble on our Lord Zhao's head.
“Take it!”
The Jinyiwei Baihu glanced at them without looking back. They waved to the guards and the Jinyiwei behind them and uttered two words coldly.
As soon as Jinyiwei Baihu finished speaking, two Jinyiwei stepped forward and pounced on the two armored guards with expressionless faces.
Seeing this, the two armored guards subconsciously tried to pull out their swords before pressing their hands on the handles. However, the next second they saw a flash of cold light in front of them, and Jin Yiwei's Xiuchun Saber was already placed on their necks. , the tip of the knife was pressed tightly against the neck, not an inch more, not an inch less.
The gap is huge.
The armored guard was sweating profusely on his forehead and did not dare to move.
Soon, a police officer came forward and tied up the armored guard with a rope.
"My lords, what are you doing? We have something to say, so why bother to hurt the peace? We, Mr. Zhao, have admired your commanding officers for a long time, and we were also fortunate to sit at the same table with Mr. Lu in Mr. Yan's house. After drinking. My lords, you are here just in time. The village below has just sent a deer, and there are still some jars of good wine in the house. , just in time to taste it together. We, Mr. Zhao, are the most hospitable. I will be very happy if I know that you are here."
The door of General Jianwei's mansion opened, and a steward came out. The middle-aged man, well-dressed and with a smile on his face, said to the Jin Yiwei Baihu and the head catcher outside the door.
"Haha, what a coincidence, our Jinyiwei are also the most hospitable." Jinyiwei Baihu squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Today, we just invite Mr. Zhao to come to our prison as a guest. The weather is hot, we are here It's so cool in prison, haha."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the smile on the face of the housekeeper turned into a crying face. Damn it, who in the world doesn't know where the Jinyiwei Prison is? It's a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. Not many people who go in can come out alive. It's notorious.
"Please, take us to see Mr. Zhao, so that I can hand over the 'invitation' to Mr. Zhao."
The hundreds of Jin Yiwei families looked at the Zhao Mansion with smiles on their faces. The steward took out an official document with several large red seals from his arms and showed it in front of him.
The official document was very long, and some of the content in the front could not be clearly seen, but the content in the back was noticed by the Zhao family manager:
“Qianhu Zhao Da Ying received the favor of the emperor and did not want to serve the country and defend the people. , but instead killed good people and pretended to be meritorious in order to seek promotion and reward. After the case, all kinds of He concealed and changed his head in order to deceive Shang Ting. His crime is difficult to atone for. He reduced his position to serve the people and confiscated his family property. He was arrested and imprisoned on the same day and planned to be executed to set an example." Five thunders struck his head, his face turned ashen instantly, and cold sweat poured down his back. (End of this chapter)
