Chapter 164 Minister, Qiu Liang receives the order.
Every word of Jia Heng's words fell on everyone's hearts, making people speechless, and everyone had different thoughts.
The atmosphere was somewhat dull.
It was Qin Keqing who smoothed things over and said, "Husband, did the Empress cook this peach blossom cake herself?"
These words seemed to put an end to the tense atmosphere.
Although Sister Feng felt a little uncomfortable due to the wetness of a certain place, she didn't show the slightest bit on her bright and charming face, and she said with a smile: "Old ancestor, the most honored and respected person in the palace The empress's culinary skills are a blessing to the granddaughter-in-law."
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Feng, I'm going to be serious today."
Hearing the lively atmosphere between the two, Jia Heng put away his cold expression and said in a warm voice: "This peach blossom cake is indeed delicious. I tasted a few pieces and wanted to bring it back for you to taste."
With that said, he entered the room and opened the food box.
Qin Keqing seemed to want to turn around the quarrel that had just arisen over Jia Amnesty, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you should try it first."
Jia Mu also put away her previous thoughts, smiled, and said, "I don't see many, you sisters are divided."
In fact, my heart was already inexplicably shocked.
Brother Heng became more and more popular in the palace, and even the desserts made by the queen who was the most respected and respected queen in the world were bestowed by the majesty in the palace.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Then granddaughter-in-law, you will not be polite, madam, you don't want to eat a piece."
Mrs. Wang forced herself to smile, and said, "I've had some snacks just now, and I'm not too hungry right now."
Picking up the teacup at the side, he lowered his head and sipped the tea.
The emperor gave food, her elder brother has not received this kind of courtesy, this young man's holy family... no wonder, he just talked to the old lady like that.
At this time, Sister Feng had already picked up a piece of peach blossom cake with a handkerchief, Danfeng glanced at Jia Heng's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng brought it to our younger brothers and sisters, but let us have an autumn breeze."
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "Anyway, I can't finish it by myself. It won't taste good when it gets cold. Sister-in-law Feng, let's share it with my sister and sister."
Apparently, this beautiful woman with both hairpin and black hair is using this method to help Jia Heng bridge some gaps that were created just now.
Jia Heng can certainly appreciate the painstaking efforts of his wife.
It's just a pity that a box of peach blossom cakes was originally intended to be eaten by her.
On this side, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Daiyu all ate one piece, and Qin Keqing ate with three pieces left.
As for the few girls who used it, their eyebrows and eyes were bent into crescent moons, and they were full of praise.
Xiao Xichun pouted her pink cheeks, there were food residues at the corners of her mouth, being teased by Tanchun beside her, she revealed a delicate and ignorant charm.
Even Daiyu has a happy face.
I have to say, seeing a group of innocent little girls playing around, even Jia Heng's cold heart made me feel happy.
The young and beautiful little girl, with a sincere and sweet smile, without so many schemes of evil spirits, gives people a feeling of tranquility.
It's just that after the three springs, all the fragrances are gone, and each has to find his own door.
For some reason, a sentence suddenly came to Jia Heng's mind, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.
Mother Jia's mood was also affected, and she felt better. She smiled and said, "you sisters, eat slowly."
And the laughter in the inner hall spread to the outer room, making Baoyu scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously, and wanted to enter the hall, but seeing the girl named Bi'er holding her hands and looking unfriendly, she had to stamp her feet to give up.
In the inner hall, Jia Heng said: "Old lady, I have to go to the Wucheng Bingma Division later, and I will hold a banquet to celebrate the title later."
"It's not in a hurry." Mother Jia nodded, and while speaking, she asked with a smile, "Brother Heng, what do you think about the audit in the West Mansion?"
This is the main business of her coming here, but it was delayed by Jia Heng's knighthood and Fadden Wengu.
Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid it won't happen today, but you can put the account books in my house first, and I will find someone to check the accounts tomorrow. Sister Feng knows that Lai Da has actually confessed tens of thousands of taels silver."
When Jia Mu heard the words, she could only nod her head and said, "Brother Heng, you know what's in your heart."
In fact, after going through the ins and outs, such as expulsion of family status, resignation of title... and then checking the accounts, Jia's mother has already seen that although the young man in front of him is straight and unyielding, he has a steelyard in his heart.
Sister Feng smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, Brother Heng has made arrangements, so you can rest assured."
Now she is anxiously waiting to go back to take a shower, just now she drank too much tea, she seemed to pee her pants, but she thought there would be a peculiar smell, then she would really be ashamed to see others, but she couldn't smell it.
Well, the physiological knowledge of this era is still very scarce.
Jia Mu said with a smile, "then, let's go. We're tired after talking for a while."
As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Wang.
Suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mandarin duck, where is Baoyu?"
Everyone: "..."
Yuanyang said unsurely: "Second Master Bao is waiting on the porch."
"My Baoyu, the autumn tiger's sun is very poisonous, so don't expose the good or bad." Jia Mu hurriedly walked out of the hall while looking for Baoyu, and when she saw Baoyu who was talking to Xiren, she felt relieved. , calling out: "Baoyu..."
"Old ancestor." Baoyu saw his kind eyes still, and felt his nose sore, and trotted over.
"Baoyu." Jia's mother hugged Baoyu, calling out like her heart, and said with a smile, "What are you doing standing there stupidly, and you don't know how to go back and eat something."
It was two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
Baoyu said: "I just read the Book of Songs, but for a moment I forgot my hunger and thirst."
The real situation is that listening to the laughter in the inner hall, the itching is unbearable, and the hunger has long been forgotten.
Looking at the scene of family happiness between grandparents and grandchildren, Jia Heng looked indifferent, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, suddenly felt something, turned his head to look at Tan Chun, who was looking at Tan Chun with a pair of charming big eyes look at yourself.
Jia Heng nodded to Tanchun.
When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang left with the sisters in the West Mansion, Jia Heng also sighed, turned to look at Qin Keqing, and said, "It's quite lively today."
Qin Keqing's red lips twitched, and said: "Husband, in the palace..."
"It's okay, otherwise the Peach Blossom Crisp wouldn't be given, but since then, the wind will be high and the waves will be rough, so we need to be careful." Jia Heng said in a clear voice.
After he was named the Lord of General Yunhui, he was already a moderate political force, and today's leading officials can be said to have completely emerged in the court, but it also means that the difficulty of trading will be linear. rise.
"The most urgent task now is to solve the matter of Wucheng Bingmasi first. As long as you dare to do things and can do things, the key is the latter. If you can do things, then any The worries above are all unfounded." Jia Heng thought about it, and expelled some thoughts in his mind.
Turning around, he said to Qin Keqing, "I'll go to Wucheng Bingmasi later."
Qin Keqing said softly: "My husband, be careful."
Jia Heng nodded, and then asked the servant to call Cai Quan.
He originally thought that Cai Quan had brought his cousin Dong Qian back to the Ning Mansion, but he heard from the servant just now that he seemed to have gone to his old house in the wicker alley on Ningrong Street.
Jia Heng went out of the front hall, and after waiting for a while, Cai Quan, Fan Yi, Dong Qian, and several soldiers from the Beijing camp all came over.
"Brother Cai, go to the Wucheng Bingma Division and control Liu You first."
Now that he has obtained the imperial decree of the emperor and entrusted him with the task of investigation, he has the right to arrest and interrogate.
Cai Quan nodded and responded.
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Fan, you need to identify Liu You later."
A look of excitement appeared in Fan Yi's eyes, and she said, "Student, thank you, Mr. Jia, for his righteousness."
Afterwards, Jia Heng asked several generals of the Beijing camp to support Fan Yi, mounted a steed, and headed towards Siya, a soldier and horse in the five cities.
Five Cities Bingma Division, within the official hall
On Qiu Liang's rough face, his face was gloomy. After hearing Liu You's words, he slapped the table and said angrily, "It's really hateful that someone secretly protects that small school!"
Unlike the six ministries and temple supervisors' yamen, the Wucheng soldiers and horses yamen set up the official yamen near the palace city, but far away from the palace gate to facilitate peace and order.
Therefore, Qiu Liang still doesn't know the sound of the three-way Dengwen drum, as for the imperial decree?A group of civil servants will not inform Qiu Liang.
Therefore, Qiu Liang dismissed himself without knowing the will.
The so-called dismissal is just a prelude to taking people, and then the censor will quickly collect black materials and mobilize for impeachment.
Liu You looked bitter, and said: "My lord, the person protecting Dong Qian is holding a hand crossbow. I'm afraid he is a member of the army. Why didn't your lord say that Dong Qian was protected by someone in the army?" ? Now the Sanhe gang has killed a few people, but the humble staff doesn't know what to do."
Qiu Liang frowned, with an unhappy expression on his face, and said, "Why, Master Liu blames me for not explaining in advance? But how did I know that Dong Qian was on guard? Who doesn't have eyes! As for the Sanhe Gang, You withdraw 30 taels of silver from the treasury of the soldiers and horses in the five cities, and burn and bury the silver."
Hearing this, Liu You sighed, and said: "The Sanhe gang is actually okay to say, they are all green-skinned rascals, 30 taels of silver is enough to calm them down, but there is a crossbow in the army there, and they think they have offended a big man. Anxiety... Mr. Qiu, do you think you should accept Li Jinzhu's appointment in the drunken red building at night?"
After all, I still want to see Qiu Liang, as long as I meet him, I will go back and forth, and then it will be much easier to win over this fellow commander who is in command of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division.
Qiu Liang's eyes flickered, as if he was considering the pros and cons, and said in a deep voice: "You look at the arrangement at night and tell him, just drink and listen to music, I won't see the others."
Prince Bei Jing said that those people need to keep a distance to avoid getting burned.
Qiu Liang made up his mind, if he met that prince, he would turn around and leave.
Hearing this, Liu You smiled and said, "Lord Qiu, don't worry, I don't see anyone else, but there is a new top card in the drunk red building called Yun Niang, don't you see me?"
"Yunniang, this name sounds like a vulgar fan, so I'm not interested." Qiu Liang waved his hand, and said with a light smile, "My lord's concubine, the sixth room."
Qiu Liang obviously didn't play Guangling San, and then played the elegant taste of waiting for Yunniang, and he was very wary of the people behind Liu You.
Liu You smiled, and thought to himself, this martial artist looks rough, but he is actually as careful as a hair, but once he goes there, you can't let him be in front of the prince.
And just when the two of them had different thoughts, suddenly, they heard the sound of shouting and shouting from outside the Yamen of Wucheng soldiers and horses.
"Who dares to trespass on the Five Cities Bing Ma Si!"
Outside the official office, the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division looked at each other and looked at the few people headed by the young man in brocade clothes, and said solemnly.
Jia Heng held up the imperial decree with one hand, and said coldly: "According to the decree of the sage, you should get out of the way quickly!"
"Holy decree, you still dare to stand!" Cai Quan drew out his waist knife "squeaky" and shouted solemnly.
All the soldiers of the five cities, the horses, the company, the black and the red officials all knelt down and knelt down.
Cai Quan looked at this scene, his cheeks were flushed, obviously his vanity was greatly satisfied.
With a stern face, Jia Heng held high the imperial decree, and under the retinue of Cai Quan and other generals of the Beijing camp, he stepped across the threshold of the Wucheng soldiers and horses as high as his calf.
Behind them, the eight soldiers of the Beijing camp stood up straight, and Fan Yang's face under his hat showed a look of arrogance.
Fan Yi's eyes also flashed a gleam of pleasure, when he was in front of the Bingma Sifu Yamen, he was rejected by these soldiers, now they are kneeling on the ground, fearful, and today!
When everyone entered the courtyard, Qiu Liang, who had received the presence of an angel, and the Wucheng Bingma Si and other subordinate officials all came out of the official hall with terrified faces.
"There is a purpose." Jia Heng said solemnly.
Qiu Liang's complexion changed, he stared closely at the young man in brocade clothes, with surprise and anger in his eyes.
Will?What purpose?Who can tell him what the purpose is for him?
"Qiu Liang, are you standing there in a daze to resist the edict?" Jia Heng narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
There were several "crush" sounds behind him, and several Yanling knives were half drawn out of their sheaths at the same time, the cold light shone, and the hearts of everyone in the courtyard jumped.
There was a lot of cheering, and all the civil servants and soldiers of the Five Cities Bingma Division knelt down one after another.
Qiu Liang's face was gloomy, and he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Qiu Liang accepts the order."
As he spoke, he lifted his official robe and knelt down on the ground.
Jia Heng showed the imperial decree: "... Qiu Liang, the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Commander, is incompetent and dereliction of duty.
The imperial decree of Emperor Chongping said three things, so this imperial decree was not for Qiu Liang alone, but for Jia Heng to act according to the imperial decree.
"You wait for the order." Jia Heng looked indifferently, looked at the earthy-faced Qiu Liang with cold eyes, and shouted coldly.
"Sir, Qiu Liang accepts the order, long live, long live, long live!" Qiu Liang said in a trembling voice, his hands and feet felt cold, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Come here, beat his official hat, take off his official uniform, and take his official seal!" Jia Heng shouted deeply.
Different from civil servants who put the hall seal on the official case, military positions like Wucheng soldiers and horses have a slightly smaller seal, which Qiu Liang puts in the fish bag on his waist.
Immediately, Cai Quan came forward with his soldiers, knocked off Qiu Liang's official hat, picked up Qiu Liang's official robe, and searched for the official seal.
Qiu Liang looked angry, snorted coldly, and wanted to resist, he is a general, how could he tolerate such humiliation!
However, the young man in brocade sneered, and said sinisterly, "Qiu Liang, are you going to disobey the imperial decree against the imperial emissary?"
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, those who are envoys to the imperial edict but who have no courtesies will be beheaded!
Hearing this, Qiu Liang felt as if he had been immobilized, he didn't dare to move, his face showed humiliation, he suddenly raised his head, and looked at Jia Heng angrily, his fists hidden in the official robe were clenched to the joints There was a crackling sound, but the body remained motionless, allowing the soldiers of the Beijing camp to pick up the official robes and search for the talismans.
Cai Quan took a Hu Niu copper seal, his face was happy, he turned around and handed it to Jia Heng with both hands, and said, "My lord, here it is."
Jia Heng's face was pale, and he reached out to take the official seal of Wucheng Bingmasi. The reason why he humiliated Qiu Liang so much was not just for the sake of fighting, but for the sake of standing up!
What else can deter the generals and officials of the Five Cities Bingmasi than taking down a former Bingmasi commander and acquaintance?
Besides, in order to deal with Qiu Liang, he blew up the cesspit and almost got wet. If he didn't cut Qiu Liang's face severely, he would be very angry!
"Who is Liu You?" Jia Heng didn't look at Qiu Liang, and asked the officials of Wucheng Army and Horse Division who were kneeling on the ground.
At this time, a civil official kneeling behind Qiu Liang was startled, raised his head, looked at Jia Heng in horror, and said, "Liu You, a lowly post, I don't know what my lord has..."
"Take this dog!" Jia Heng shouted heavily.
Immediately, Cai Quan led two soldiers and pushed Liu You to the ground. This scene shocked the generals and officials of the Wucheng Bingma Division around them, and buried their heads deeply.
Half of Liu You's face was pressed against the cold blue bricks, with panic showing on his face, he shouted: "My lord, what crime have you committed!"
"What crime did you commit? Instigate the green-skinned rascals to beat and mutilate the candidates, and now the emperor is furious, and all the officials are in an uproar!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice, "Fan Juren, let's see if it is this person!"
