Chapter 267 Governor, you are late...
"I understand, Kerou. You can take someone to escort him back to Zhaoya, and wait for the governor to return and deal with it."
Zhao Duan said calmly: "And I would like to express my gratitude to the commanders of each guard for me. This time, I am grateful."
He did not overstep his authority and impose punishment, after all, his immediate boss was Lao Ma.
Of course, another reason for sending people back is to also throw the blame to Ma Yan.
Well, as your immediate boss, it makes sense to wipe your subordinates’ butts.
"yes!"
Everyone in Lihua Hall bowed respectfully to the officer and went straight downstairs to do their business.
Eunuch Hai couldn't help but asked curiously: "Aren't you going to meet that Chai Keqiao in person?"
No... I just want to quickly visualize and practice. Inspiration is fleeting. If you don't catch it, you will probably lose it... Zhao Duan muttered in his heart, with a stern expression on his face:
"You're not a woman, what's so good about her?"
Eunuch Hai was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Our family will report this to Your Majesty."
Zhao Duan smiled flatteringly: "I'm just joking. Your Majesty has everything to do, so don't worry about such a trivial matter."
The attitude switch is smooth and flowing.
Fortunately, Hai Zongfeng was used to teasing the juniors, but he didn't provoke others. He smiled and said:
"Well, I think you seem to have something. Today's practice is suspended, and you can go back and digest what you saw today. In addition, we really need to talk to His Majesty about the two lively events today."
One involves the princess, the other involves Emperor Wu's city...the former is okay.
Although the latter is not a "diplomatic issue", the status of Emperor Wu City, where "Heavenly Man" is located, is not weaker than that of Tianshi Mansion and Shenlong Temple.
However, because his influence is mainly in the arena, his reputation in the capital is somewhat weaker.
"Farewell, father-in-law." Zhao Duan bowed his head.
He raised his eyelids again and found that the old eunuch had disappeared.
Shaking his head, Zhao Duan no longer delayed, turned to look at the steel torrent of imperial troops that had slowly withdrawn, and stepped down the watchtower.
He declined the carriage, rode alone, and hurried back home
- He vaguely felt that he was only one crucial step away from breaking through his state of mind and stepping into the divine chapter.
…
…
The drizzle remains.
Sprinkled on the black bracket eaves, it looks shiny.
"Amitabha,"
In the distance, Master Bianji, a monk in white clothes, clasped his hands together, looked at the closing of the stage in the distance, and said with emotion:
"What a pity, what a pity..."
beside.
The five disciples of the Heavenly Master who were stuck on the roof looked unhappy.
He took off the miniature lens from his eye socket and said with a smile:
"What's a pity? Do you hope that the masters of the imperial court will lose? Well, I knew you baldheads were having an affair with Emperor Wu City."
The handsome and delicate Bianji smiled, already immune to this guy's words, he shook his head and said: "No, the poor monk only regrets that he was not able to witness Ouchi's attack.
Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wu had always had great differences in martial arts. They also imitated the fighting methods of Buddhism and Taoism and had a tradition of making battles.
It's a pity that there are many disciples of Emperor Wu City traveling around the world, but the inheritance of Dayu Royal Family rarely shows up. "
Hearing this, Gongshu Tianyuan also felt a little pity...
He came here following Chai Keqiao and wanted to see the situation.
After all, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is approaching, and both families are speculating whether Emperor Wu City will intervene, but unexpectedly they bump into Bian Ji, who also comes to watch.
This will say:
"I heard that hundreds of years ago, your family and I were at loggerheads, and it was the Dayu royal family that took the limelight. However, as time went by, the successors of the royal family's practice dwindled, and they gradually disappeared.
If the royal family is still at its peak, where will it be the turn to get this Chai Keqiao?
Hey, but he was injured after being beaten up by Brother Zhao, so he must not be afraid of him jumping out to steal the limelight during the fight... Otherwise, when my Tianshi Mansion wins, I will have to accept this Chai It’s annoying to think about the challenges. "
Bianji glanced at him and said helplessly:
"You think you're going to win before the fight even begins?"
Gongshu Tianyuan let out a "ha" and said disdainfully: "What if? You have a bunch of old bald donkeys occupying the seats in Shenlong Temple. Have you ever let the younger generation take the lead?"
Bian Ji turned around, didn't talk nonsense with him, and walked straight away, leaving only one sentence: "To win the Tianshi Mansion, one person from Tianhai is enough."
Tianhai... Gongshu Tianyuan's expression suddenly became solemn:
Has that young monk returned to Beijing?
He tightened the hemp rope around his body, raised his hand to grab the rotating umbrella above his head, and returned to the Tianshi Mansion.
Be prepared to send this message back.
From beginning to end.
Both Bianji and Gongshu Tianyuan believe that this year's battle between Buddhism and Taoism is only their own business.
At most, they are worried that Emperor Wu City will steal the limelight.
But no one thought about whether anyone in the already declining Dayu royal family could compete with them.
I have never imagined even the slightest possibility.
…
…
The imperial troops retreated like a tide, but such a huge movement could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of all parties in the capital.
Outside the imperial office gate.
A carriage hurried back. The car curtain was raised, Ma Yan, with a lanky face, messy eyebrows and a gloomy expression, stepped out of the car with an ugly expression.
After his meeting in the morning, he went out to the Sixth Department to handle some matters, and then rushed to the palace.
When he came out, he met Jin Yi who came to report the news at the gate of the imperial city.
I learned that one of the eight entrances to the imperial office had been penetrated by Chai Keqiao.
A surge of anger arose, and Ma Yan drove back immediately.
"The Governor!"
The clerk standing guard at the door shouted hurriedly.
But Ma Yan didn't even look at him and went straight to the Governor's Hall.
It was drizzling and there were no people along the way.
When we arrived at the Governor's Hall, we saw eight unlucky detectives sitting in the "conference room" from a distance, drinking soup and medicine while chatting.
"Duke? Are you back?"
Zhang Han and others reluctantly stood up and wanted to salute.
"Everyone sit down!" Ma Yan said in a deep voice, stopping everyone.
His eyes swept over the empty aura and the bowl exuding the strong medicinal fragrance in front of each person.
The anger in my heart grew stronger.
However, the more this happened, the more calm he became, and his appearance became calm: "I heard someone report that the disciple of Wu Xiankui came to the Yamen to challenge you and defeated you all?"
The eight people in the hall hung their heads in shame:
"The Governor is humble and incompetent..."
It's true... Ma Yan interrupted them and said coldly: "Where is that person?"
He was already thinking about how to find him later and regain his face.
Seeing that no one said anything, Haitang was the first to speak:
"Reporting to the governor, he is lying in the imperial office."
"Okay... Just know where it is..." Ma Yan replied subconsciously, and then his voice stopped abruptly.
His expression was obviously startled, as if he had not turned around, and his eyes were fixed on the female detective:
"Where did you say he was?"
"...Zhao Yamen, um, prison number A." Haitang answered honestly.
A string of question marks slowly rose above Ma Yan's head, and the anger in his heart suddenly stopped.
He was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan":
"Didn't you... lose? How..."
"Oh, we did all lose," Haitang was a little unhappy and explained cheerfully: "But after Zhao Duan came back and learned about it, he used his authority of Shenji Camp to transfer several other guards. The masters of the Imperial Army passed by.
He beat up the Chai Keqiao woodcutter, threw him into a prison, and locked him up. He said that when you come back, he would let you watch and deal with it..."
She briefly explained what happened.
"..."
Ma Yan listened with a dull face and looked at the other detectives.
Zhang Han and the other six people each held a medicine bowl and nodded in unison, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Ma Yan was silent for a while before finally asking the first sentence:
"That Chai... or something, isn't he seriously injured?"
Zhang Han said coolly:
"Fortunately, half of his ribs are broken, his energy is exhausted, and he can't move now. The injury is more serious than ours, and it doesn't damage the root."
That's good... Ma Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
For a moment just now, he was afraid that Zhao Duan, his grandson, would beat him to death...
"What about the boy?"
Ma Yan was in extremely complicated mood and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh. He seems to have gone home. He said that he dare not overstep his authority on matters here. It is up to the governor to decide." Haitang said.
It's up to me... let me deal with the mess... Ma Yan took a deep breath, his eyes darkening.
…
…
In a private room of a certain restaurant.
After having lunch, Princess Xu Junling wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
Immediately there was a "dong dong" knock on the door, accompanied by:
The cry of "Miss County...".
When walking outside, it is customary to address yourself as "Miss" to avoid attracting attention.
"Come in." Xu Junling spoke softly, smiling and looking at the maid Lv Shui who walked into the private room: "What, is there any news from Zhao Duan? Has he been beaten by that Chai Keqiao?"
Thanks to grapeforest for the 500-coin reward support!
