Tianlong Sword Guanghan

Chapter 96.

That night, Tong Guan and Li Peifeng were dressed in nocturnal attire, avoiding eyes and ears, and quietly went to look for the prefect Huang.Tong Guan has been working hard for many years, this "Sunflower Collection" has already entered the room, Li Peifeng also has internal strength, the two of them walked across the house like walking on flat ground, no one in Tokyo noticed.

Li Peifeng followed Tong Guan silently, Tong Guan stopped on the roof of a simple courtyard, wondered in his heart, and asked softly: "Uncle Tong, why don't you leave?" Tong Guan pointed at the simple courtyard with two entrances, Said: "We have already arrived?" Li Peifeng saw the small courtyard, which was old and dilapidated, and the owner of the courtyard didn't even light up the lights in order to save money, so he couldn't help wondering: "Why is the magistrate so embarrassed?"

Tong Guan smiled slightly and said: "People say: 'Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.' But this Huang magistrate is not an official. , This time when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he didn’t even have much money, so the village elders chipped in to make a new official uniform for him.”

Li Peifeng pondered and said: "Could it be that the people who are trying to cover up their reputation?" Tong Guan shook his head and said: "After hearing about his deeds, the officials ordered our Imperial City Secretary to send three groups of spies to various places in Fujian to investigate secretly, and all three groups responded to the rumors. It is true, this Huang Zhifu is indeed a good official."

Li Peifeng clasped his fists and said: "My nephew treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It is really useless to be a villain. I am ashamed." Tong Guan was about to speak, but he heard a person in the room slowly say: "A gentleman cherishes virtue, and a villain cherishes soil. .It’s not the behavior of a gentleman to sit high on the beam and talk about it behind his back.”

Tong Guan and Li Peifeng were startled, the two of them were about eight feet away from the hut, and they kept their voices down when they spoke, how could anyone who is not a master of internal energy hear their conversation?They didn't dare to be careless, Tong Guan took a step forward, put Li Peifeng behind him, and jumped into the courtyard, Li Peifeng was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he hurriedly followed.

Tong Guan walked to the door, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know which hero is here. This Huang Zhifu is a good official. When he entered Beijing, our imperial city secretary secretly checked his luggage. He really has nothing. , as long as the hero doesn’t hurt Huang Zhifu’s life, our family guarantees that the Imperial City Secretary will never pursue it.”

Li Peifeng took out a night pearl the size of a baby's fist from his bosom, put it on the ground, and said loudly: "There are not many good officials in the Great Song Dynasty. If you want money with one step, just take this pearl."

There was a moment of silence in the room, the sound of footsteps in front of the door, followed by a "squeak", the door opened, and a person came out. Li Peifeng was concentrating on his luck, and wanted to use thunderous means to capture the enemy in one fell swoop and rescue the prefect Huang , Who knew that seeing this person's face, he said in amazement: "Senior, why is it you?"

The person who opened the door was also surprised when he saw Li Peifeng, but he was a learned scholar, he was very calm when encountering a situation, he glanced at Tong Guan calmly, and said slowly: "I don't know why the Zhongguan came to visit at night. See you."

Tong Guan clasped his fists and said: "Our family has misjudged. It turns out that Huang Zhifu is actually a master of internal energy." That Huang Zhifu wondered: "Inner energy?" Said: "Seniors, the matter is of great importance. How about going into the house first?"

Huang Zhifu pondered for a while, moved away, and said: "Please come in." Tong Guan cupped his fists to apologize, pulled Li Peifeng, and the two of them walked into the room.

The three of them entered the room and sat down at the square table in the middle of the room. Magistrate Huang shook the teapot and saw that the teapot was empty, his face was shocked, and he apologized: "It's not easy to live in Jingcheng, and I'm too shy to hire a servant." Please forgive me, both of you." Tong Guan cupped his hands and said: "Prefect Huang, you are welcome, our family is here this time, and we really want to ask Prefect Huang for help."

Huang Chang cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details." Tong Guan told Huang Shang all the causes and consequences of this matter. After hearing this, Huang Chang twisted his beard and meditated. The official suspects that the Murong family is planning to rebel in the south of the Yangtze River?" Tong Guan said, "Our family does have doubts, but there is no real evidence at this moment."

Huang Chang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's better to believe in such things than to believe in nothing, otherwise a negligence will be a catastrophe. Since Chang is rich in the king's salary, he should be brave enough to do things. Ten days later, I will return to Fujian with the Taoist scriptures, and then the two of you will pretend to be..."

Li Peifeng smiled bitterly and said: "My nephew, there are righteous brothers and sisters, as well as several servants." After hearing this, Huang Chang said in amazement: "My nephew is handling such cases, why do you still call friends and friends to come together?" Li Peifeng said: "Little nephew and others are all reckless in the world, then Murong Fu deceived us first, but this time it is the elders in the family who are unhappy and order us to take revenge."

Huang Chang frowned and said, "How can such a trifling matter be a matter of military affairs?" Tong Guan smiled and said, "Magistrate Huang doesn't know, this is the son of Li Xiaoyao, the hero of 'Yijian Town Xirong' back then. Murong Fu and his family There is a grudge, if he hadn't come to Tokyo to ask the Secretary of the Imperial City to help him find Murong Fu, we would not have known about it." He patiently attacked the Xiao family siblings and Li Peifeng, this time Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Feng He told Huang Chang in detail about the order to go south for revenge.

Huang Chang said: "So that's the case. But this time I went to Beijing alone. Although there were a large number of Taoist scriptures accompanying me on the return journey, the escorts were all forbidden soldiers and horses. This was ordered by the Ministry of War. If I put people in, I'm afraid there will be too much movement. Big, hard to hide."

Tong Guan nodded and said, "That's right. Prefect Huang's reputation spread far and wide. He went to Beijing alone and had no possessions. It would be unreasonable to say that he brought a large number of servants with him on the return journey."

Huang Chang went on to say: "That's right. Besides, Zhongguan, your body, voice, and appearance are different from ordinary people. If you have too few followers, I'm afraid it will be even more suspicious." Li Peifeng continued: "I don't know what trick senior has. Many of us have covered it up?"

Huang Chang pondered for a long time, then hesitated and said, "I have a way to hide it from others and take you all to Jiangnan. It's just that this way is really hard to say, and I'm afraid it will hurt Lingjie's boudoir reputation."

Li Peifeng said: "I also ask the seniors to enlighten me. Whether it is OK or not, we can always discuss it."

Huang Chang said nana: "My son Yuan Ji is currently studying hard in the Taixue. He is a weak crown. I went to Beijing to report on my work this time to arrange a marriage for him..." He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then said: "If Please make my sister pretend to be my son's bride, then my son can use the name of marriage and ask for leave to return home. In this way, the servants and retinue are all brought by the bride from her natal family to marry. It can be done."

Tong Guan listened, and looked at Li Peifeng speechlessly. After a long while, Li Peifeng asked blankly: "Senior, my nephew Yijie is the only daughter of the King of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, and my mother's apprentice. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, bowing horses He is skillful, has a strong temperament, and has the ability to split tigers and leopards. If brother Yuanji doesn't have the ability to subdue dragons and subdue tigers, I'm afraid there will never be a day in this life where he can regain his strength."

Seeing Li Peifeng's embarrassed face, Huang Chang thought that he was about to give up because he cared about Yijie Qingyu, but when Li Peifeng said such words, Huang Chang was stunned and speechless. After a while, Huang Chang fell silent. Said in a loud voice: "For the country and the people, even though swords and axes are unavoidable, Yuan Ji has read the words of sages since he was a child, so he will definitely understand my painstaking efforts."

Huang Chang looked at Li Peifeng, with a guilty expression on his face, and said: "I have absolutely no intention of taking this opportunity to threaten you. If my nephew and sister Ling think it's inappropriate, then even if this matter is dropped, there are still ten days before I leave Beijing. We can still do it." Think of another way, in short, my Huang family is obliged to do this matter."

Tong Guan had already come back to his senses at this moment, he gave a thumbs up and praised loudly: "Good!"

"What a fart!" Xiao Tianduo jumped into a rage, grabbed Li Peifeng and said, "Why did you go out to find a magistrate, and you found your sister? Can we arrange her marriage at will? If Dad knows I'm afraid I'm going to knock my legs off!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at the side, and while beating Eunuch Yu's leg, he said with a smile: "It's such a fun thing, thanks to Pei Feng, you thought of me, but I have to go and see that Mr. Huang Yuanji first."

Xiao Tianduo was shocked and said: "Are you still going on a blind date?" Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled and said coquettishly to his father-in-law: "Grandpa Yu, I'll just take a look, please help me." Scratching his nose with a smile, he asked Tong Guan who was standing beside him: "That prefect Huang, did you take advantage of the fire?"

Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "My son doesn't look like that, Pei Fengyan said that Xiaoxiao has strong martial arts skills, and he calmly sent his son to Xiaoxiao's hands. It seems that he really designed it for us. How to hide our tracks is this strategy... It’s really a bit of an understatement.”

Eunuch Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, he is willing to hand over his son to us as a hostage. He is sincerely willing to do something." He turned to look at Xiao Xiaoxiao, and asked gently: "Xiaoxiao, although we didn't I have met before, but in order to save you, our family almost died at the hands of your grandfather, so our family treats you absolutely like our own family members. Just tap your hands and feet."

Xiao Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "We also have to guard against that Huang Zhizhou, he must have figured this out before he set up such a plan to take his own son as a hostage to show his sincerity, could it be that I am dignified? Princess Gongfu of Daliao is still afraid of a scholar?" She changed her tone, took Eunuch Yu's arm again, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa Yu, please help me, old man, let me see that Mr. Yuanji."

Eunuch Yu waved to Tong Guan, patted the top of Xiao Xiaoxiao's head, and said with a smile: "Let the boy arrange it for you, and see if Mr. Yuanji is worthy of our beautiful Princess Gongfu."

Xiao Xiaoxiao thanked him loudly, then looked at Li Peifeng and Xiao Tianduo, and said, "You two brothers, come with me." Xiao Tianduo nodded and said, "It's natural." Li Peifeng shook his head again and again, and said, "The Taixue is the Song Dynasty The highest school, I won’t watch a bunch of nerds drop their schoolbags there.”

Xiao Xiaoxiao sneered, and said in a low voice: "Hmph, who said that I've been practicing martial arts since childhood, skilled in bowing and horses, have a strong temperament, and have the ability to split tigers and leopards."? Why don't I go back to Tianshan and personally Go ask the master and the second uncle?" Li Peifeng said loudly: "Eh? How could someone slander a young girl who is so shameless? It's really abominable. The younger brother suddenly became curious and wanted to see how this student of the Taixue is. What kind of ability is there, since sister Xiaoxiao wants to go to have a look, please bring my younger brother to go together, my younger brother is very grateful."

Eunuch Yu sighed softly: "After all, it was born by that guy. This shameless appearance is exactly the same." Tong Guan nodded and said: "The foster father is right."

The next day, news came from the university that the officials heard that there are many students from the Imperial College who have achieved excellent results in the final exam this year, far exceeding previous years. Long Yan was very happy, and specially ordered the students from the Imperial College to take a three-day bath.As soon as the imperial decree came, all the students of the Taixue were ecstatic. Most of the Taixue were the children of honorable ministers. They were trapped in the Taixue day and night, and they were already exhausted. Friends and companions, lingering in major brothels and restaurants.

Among the many Taixue students, there is one person who is different from others.He declined all kinds of invitations from his classmates and friends, hurriedly cleaned up, hired a bullock cart, and rushed to a small courtyard in the south of the city.

Arriving at this dilapidated small courtyard, the student paid the fare, took out five big boys from his breast pocket, squeezed them in his hands, took two back, and took the remaining three big boys. Son, handed it to the coachman, and said, "This is a reward." Then, ignoring the contemptuous eyes of the coachman, he straightened his clothes and knocked on the door lightly.

Not long after, a young servant opened the door, looked at the scholar suspiciously, and asked, "My lord, what can I do for you?" The scholar looked at the handsome young servant, frowned secretly, and said in his heart: Dad bought a servant?

But he is a modest gentleman, so naturally he didn't want to argue with his servants, so he said softly, "Is the prefect Huang at home? Please let me know." Shouting: "Master, Master! The son is back!"

The scholar's face darkened, and he turned around and ran away.Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, he was stopped by a boy in black.The black-clothed boy smiled slightly, showing his eight white teeth, and asked the scholar, "Did you ask your master's name?" student."

The boy in black smiled and asked: "It turned out to be Mr. Li. Since he came to the door, why didn't he turn his head and leave when he didn't see the master?" The scholar said impressively: "The student intends to find a classmate. It seems that I have found the wrong place. The student does not want to disturb the master, so he will leave." The boy in black suddenly changed his expression, and said sharply, "How dare you lie here!"

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the scholar by the neck, and lifted the scholar up lightly. The scholar was tall, but at the moment his feet were off the ground, he had no strength to resist. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing? I Nai Guozijian Li Hankong, if you hurt me..." The boy in black said impatiently: "Go!" He threw the scholar out, and the scholar's body flew into the air, hitting the stone steps straight, he secretly called out "" Bitter too!", dancing with hands and feet, helpless.

Seeing that he was about to bump his head on the stone steps, a figure flashed at the door, the scholar felt his shoulders go numb, and opened his eyes hurriedly, it turned out that the black-clothed boy flashed in front of him again, grabbing himself in the hands, he viciously Said to the scholar: "Ask you again, who are you?" The scholar was trembling with fright, gritted his teeth and said: "Student, student Li Hankong."

The boy in black stared at the scholar's eyes, and said: "The magistrate Huang secretly called you back. What is the reason? If you tell me obediently, you can still survive. If you don't tell me, you can go to the underworld to reunite with your father." , Mr. Huang Yuanji."

The scholar was stunned, his eyes were red, he looked at the boy in black, and said tremblingly: "Man, don't kill me, I said, my father called me back because..." He trembled, his voice became smaller and smaller , The black-clothed boy was impatient, and stretched out his ears to listen. Huang Yuanji bit down on his ear fiercely.

Seeing that Huang Yuanji's mouth was full of blood, he actually bit down on the air, hurting his lip, and quickly let him go. Huang Yuanji's feet fell to the ground, and he immediately threw himself at the boy in black.The boy in black hurriedly avoided, and said to him: "Brother Huang, don't worry, this is arranged by your wife, and it's none of my business!"

At this moment the courtyard door opened, Huang Chang stood side by side with the boy, Huang Yuanji felt at ease when he saw his father was fine, he was originally a frail scholar, but now he was tired and frightened, his legs gave way and he sat down.When the boy saw him, he said anxiously: "Peifeng, look at what you've done!" The boy in black was naturally Li Peifeng, and he quickly helped Huang Yuanji up, and said with a thumbs up: "Brother Huang, you don't have a chicken in your hands." The power, but this courage is indeed heroic, I admire it."

Huang Yuanji said unhappily: "Don't play tricks, there are many people outside, quickly enter the house." Li Peifeng laughed and said: "It's okay, there is still your brother-in-law patrolling outside, and there are no outsiders peeping around." But he still helped Following Huang Yuanji, Xiao Xiaoxiao and Huang Chang quickly entered the room.

After everyone sat down, Huang Yuanji shook off Li Peifeng's arm, poured out a cup of cold tea from the teapot on the table, and drank it all at once. Then he calmed down and said to Huang Chang: "Daddy, you can find someone to bring a letter to me. He said that there is a matter that concerns the life and death of countless Li people, and I need my help. Teach me to go home quickly. You are always in such a panic, and you are never in such a hurry. How about some time?"

Huang Chang nodded and said: "That's right, I asked Nephew Li Xian to test you in front of the door. If you are scared out of your wits, I will send you back indiscriminately, so that you can finish your studies with peace of mind and become a rich man from now on. If you can be mighty and unyielding, then I will tell you about this matter, we, father and son, will go through the fire and sword together, not for high-ranking officials, but for the common people not to suffer. Would you like it?"

Huang Yuanji smiled wryly and said, "Daddy, are you willing to let me be the only male in our family?" Huang Chang nodded and said, "The small family can be destroyed, but the country cannot be destroyed. Son, do you blame Daddy?" Huang Yuanji shook his head lightly, Said: "Since Dad is serving the country and the people, my son is willing to follow him."
