Da Suining

Chapter 112
The meat in my arms went into the stomach of wild dogs before I was willing to eat it. I was hungry and sleepy these days, and the only steamed buns left were ruined. Desperate, he collapsed on the ground and began to cry, sobbing, unable to hear what he was crying, but tears were all over his face.

The yamen servant drove her away with a knife: "You - get up and follow us."

Another yamen servant whispered a few words, and the four yamen servants immediately had a new idea: "Since you are a refugee, you must not be alone. Take us to your fellow villager. If we find someone, maybe we can let you go." A way out."

The yamen servant thought, digging out a string like a mouse would save trouble and eliminate a few more refugees.

Although a woman is weak, she is unwilling to betray her fellow villagers.

She is not a traitor.

The yamen servant threatened her again with a knife.

The woman gritted her teeth and wept, but sobbed, and said nothing more.

"Very good, be tough." The yamen servant patted the woman's face with the back of the knife, making a loud slap.

A yamen servant grabbed a woman by the hair, as if he was carrying a chicken, a duck, or some other object, and he paused for a moment. His hand was so strong that the woman's scalp would be damaged by such a pull. Redness, a lot of hair down.

The yamen servant dragged her on the ground by the woman's hair: "If you don't leave today, you have to go, damned refugees, I can't finish the business in the yamen, and I have to deal with you, it's dirty and smelly. "

The woman lay on the ground and was dragged by them, but tightly guarded the child in her arms.

The child couldn't bear the confusion and cried.

"Let her go." Xiang Suining had already arrived in front of him, if she didn't make a sound, the end of the woman would be worrying.

These four yamen servants are somewhat unfamiliar.

Xiang Suining went in and out of the Qingcheng government office many times because of Eunuch Chang's case, but he had never seen these people.

Thinking that there are many government servants in Qingcheng, it is normal for her not to know each other.

A yamen servant looked at Xiang Suining, and felt that the girl had a majestic aura around her. From the looks of her clothes, the material was of good quality, and the stitches were delicate. Although the green jadeite earrings were small, the quality of the jadeite was also very good, and there was an agate hanging on her long arm. The color of the agate is bright red, just like the cherries that have just grown in spring, moist and transparent, the shoes on her feet are embroidered with wishful cloud patterns, and the embroidery threads are wrapped with silver threads, so the embroidered shoes are shining with silver light , Looks a lot more expensive.

Dressing like this, she is naturally a girl from a mansion in Qingcheng.

My lord in Qingcheng, who doesn't know what the emperor wants to drive away the refugees?
Why are the girls in the house so meddlesome?

It's really stupid and busy.

The yamen servant rolled his arms and gave Xiang Suining a look: "It's none of your business, don't meddle in it."

"You can drive her away, why abuse her like this? She still has a child in her arms."

The woman cried and hugged Xiang Suining's leg, two lines of tears almost flowed into her mouth: "Girl—the meat you bought for me was eaten by the dogs, and they let the dogs eat the meat, and they didn't let us refugees eat it, we refugees , not as good as a dog's life."

The yamen servant dragged the woman back by pulling her hair.

A yamen servant said: "The refugees linger for a long time and refuse to leave because you people don't distinguish between right and wrong. If you don't buy things for them, they will starve to death. How can they survive until now?"

"Refugees are also people, they are the emperor's subjects."

"Those who are obedient are the emperor's people. Those who don't die in their original places, but come to Qingcheng to disturb the order, deserve to die." You were arrested together as refugees."

The yamen servant stopped Xiang Suining with a knife, and dragged the woman away.

The child in the woman's arms rolled out and crawled on the ground.

He was ignorant and hungry, so he grabbed a stone and stuffed it into his mouth.

The woman wanted to stop her, but she was grabbed so tightly by the yamen servants that she couldn't move.

There was no wind on the long street, and the sun was scorching hot. The child was wearing thin clothes, and began to cry on the bluestone slab.

Xiang Suining tried to take the child back.

The yamen servant pointed at her neck with the tip of his knife and said, "It's none of your business."

"The child will die."

"It's their fate whether they die or not. They deserved to die when they were in Changzhou, but they wanted to escape to Qingcheng. Now that they are dead, they have already lived for several days."

The cry of the child is disturbing.

Xiang Suining forced to hold the child, but the yamen servant rushed up and locked her arms. Her arms were locked behind her back, and she felt a terrible pain.

"Pa, pa, pa..." Several stones flew over and hit the yamen servants in the face. The yamen servants felt the pain and let go of their hands one after another.

When I looked again, the servant's face was already swollen.

Where have you ever suffered such humiliation?
His face was swollen from the beating and the assailant has yet to be found.

"Who is it, who is it? Get out of here, Lord." The yamen guards raised their knives.

A group of red clouds fell from the second floor. He stepped on the railing of the second floor to borrow strength. With a little tiptoe, he spun twice in the air. His red robe was layered on top of each other, like a deep red flower in full bloom. .The black ribbon around his waist fluttered and overlapped with his dark red robe, and when he landed firmly, the corners of the robe did not move at all, and the black ribbon also hung down quietly.

In the black scabbard inlaid with a gold-carved animal head was a gleaming silver knife.That saber is as fast as lightning and cuts iron like mud. If it kills someone, it will probably kill someone more than three zhang away.

It is blue fading.

He wore a hollowed-out silver crown, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

He was so calm, it seemed that the yamen servant's face was not swollen by him.

How could the yamen servant not know about Lan Fai.

They are the only imperial troops who often patrol Qingcheng with knives.

The imperial army is different from their yamen servants. The yamen servants can only be regarded as a kind of errand. A few taels of silver a month are used to support their families. The yamen is their work unit. They have worked in the work unit for decades and received a monthly salary. At that time, the imperial court would give a sum of tens of taels of pension expenses.That's all they have.

Those who also hold knives, the treatment of the forbidden army is much better than theirs. The forbidden army said less than a dozen taels of silver a month, and after a year, there are hundreds of taels, which is equivalent to the salary of a third-rank official.

And people like Lan Tui are all active at the feet of the emperor. The people in the palace respect them, and the people in Qingcheng respect them. They can't even kick them away, but the imperial guards drive people away. If they don't leave, they can directly kill Wu's amnesty. It is their right to kill first and then play. How can they bargain with the disobedient people?
I remember that in the spring of last year, a man in the city abused his wife, beat her to pieces and vomited blood from her mouth.The woman was afraid of being beaten to death, so she took a chance and fled back to her natal home.

The man chased her to her mother's house with an iron fork, and directly pierced a few holes in the woman's stomach.He also took the woman hostage to Qingcheng Mountain, saying that if the woman dared to leave him, she would jump off the cliff, and no one would survive.

The spectators were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The yamen servants enforced the law impartially, and they had to discuss with the man: "You let her go first, everything is easy to discuss, it is wrong for you to kill people, you see she is bleeding to death .”

Men don't listen.

Fortunately, a line of imperial guards escorted the emperor back from his travels. Seeing that the man was about to injure other people’s lives, several imperial guards wrapped in black robes and wearing masks said nothing. After blinking a few times, they were already at the man's side.

They speak simply and simply.

"Will you let me go?"

"Don't let go." The man stabbed the woman with the iron fork again, and tried to push the woman off the cliff.

Everyone took a breath.

A forbidden soldier flew out of the cliff to gather the woman back, and a forbidden soldier drew out his knife with lightning speed, and with a "wow", the man raised the knife and fell, and the man lay down straight, without even a trace of blood on his body.

It wasn't until the yamen servant brought people up to collect the corpse and moved the man's body that he saw the dark red blood gurgling out along the man's neck.

At first he couldn't see any wounds in his neck.

All the imperial guards are ruthless people.

Ruthless, murderous without blinking an eye.

That knife almost cut off the man's head, maybe it was for the convenience of collecting the body, so as to prevent the head from rolling around, so he left the last piece of flesh attached to him.

But from the outside, it can't be seen at all, the knife is so skillful.

If these imperial guards were to be butchers, they would definitely be the best butchers in Qingcheng, whoever cut the pig's head would not reach the neck of the pig, and there would be no mess at all.

After this incident, it is said that the emperor also praised the imperial army, saying that the imperial army handled it properly and was brave and good at fighting.

So, who dares to play prestige in front of the imperial army?
Besides, the yamen servants are convinced of these imperial guards. After all, they are good-looking, with white skin, resolute and calm eyes, tall stature, and the long legs of the elders are like knife mantises, and the sword skills are brave. They are also highly skilled in martial arts, and all of them have a good family background, whether they are sons or grandsons.

He's really tall and handsome, and he's still a rich second generation.

Some of these people are the imperial guards, and that's for playing tickets.

I don't know how many noble girls in Qingcheng fell under their black armor. It is rumored that two years ago, a noble girl fell in love with a forbidden soldier through their masks. The place is waiting, no matter the wind and rain, or the fire in June, she never stops.

That was the only daughter of a senior official of the fourth rank, and her family was rich. Later, the official of the fourth rank asked a matchmaker to propose a marriage, but the imperial guard refused directly, without even looking at the noble daughter.

Because of this incident, the noble girl almost shaved her hair and became a nun.

Naturally, the servants did not want to provoke such an imperial army.

Lan Tui is the best among the imperial guards. Not only is he handsome and affectionate, but he also looks thin when dressed, and fleshy when undressed. The sharp-edged face looks like a knife carving, but also reveals gentleness. His princess mother, But the serious old princess, when he was an imperial guard, he played around even more, and the key point was that he played very seriously. A meticulous man is the sexiest. This Lan Fa is really likable.

The yamen servants looked at him with envy and jealousy.

If the stone was kicked by someone else, the yamen servant would have to take off a layer of his skin.

It was Lan Tui who kicked it, but the yamen servant asked him with a smile: "Master Xiao Lan, why bother to get angry, does the foot hurt? Do you want me to rub it?"

Men change faces so quickly.

Turning the book can't keep up.

With his hands behind his back, Lan faded slowly to Xiang Suining's side: "Are you alright?"

Flattered.

Xiang Suining pretended to be calm.

She is not a lustful person, although the blue faded crimson robe is very good-looking, although his eyes are deep, although his voice is warm and gentle, well, stop pretending, the man who saved the beauty closed her eyes edge.

There was a burst of warmth in her heart, and she blushed a little.

Mingzhu pushes Suining.

Xiang Suining was taken aback for a moment, and blessed him: "Master Xie Xiaolan, help me."

"As long as you're fine." Lan Tui turned around and looked at the four yamen servants.

They weren't so flustered when Master Zhou called their names.

The yamen servants stood neatly, not forgetting to tidy up their appearance.

"What an offense just now." Lan Tuo cupped his hands and said, "I've tried to be as light as possible, and I don't want to hurt you."

"Master Xiaolan is a man of propriety, we were not injured at all." A yamen servant said with a swollen mouth.

"Just now, did this girl offend my colleagues?"

The yamen servant looks at me, I look at you, and finally pushes the swollen-mouthed yamen servant out.

The swollen-mouthed yamen servant had a troubled expression on his face: "This girl... didn't offend us, but... she bought food for this refugee, and she wanted to save this refugee... Lord Xiaolan should understand what the emperor means. Refugees, if they cannot be sent out, they will be killed..."

"The emperor said something about killing the refugees?" Lan faded his brows.

The yamen servant lost his voice.

That's right, Master Zhou meant to drive out the refugees.

Mr. Zhou said that the emperor doesn't like the flood of refugees, making Qingcheng black and messy, and it will damage Mr. Zhou's official reputation. If you can drive them away, you can drive them away.

Yamen servants also do the same.

But did the emperor say that he wanted to kill the refugees?The emperor shouldn't be so direct, right?
It is a capital offense to speculate on the holy will indiscriminately. If the emperor hadn't said such a thing, wouldn't the yamen servants be looking for death?Even Mr. Zhou is having a hard time, right?After all, Lan Tui was a close minister of the emperor, and he often met with the emperor when discussing public affairs and personal interests.

Lan Fai didn't say a word, not even a word more.

He just looked at Xiang Suining with concern.

Xiang Suining raised his head and met his gaze.

The two looked at each other like this.

The sun is hot, not as bright as the sparks in the eyes.

How shrewd are the servants.

This affectionate look at each other made the yamen servant afraid.

The yamen servant's legs were a little weak, and his speech was also soft: "Master Xiaolan, today is all a misunderstanding...a misunderstanding, we have no intention of offending this girl...the flood has washed into the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family no longer knows each other. ...We don't care about this refugee, let Master Xiaolan take care of him, Master Xiaolan will throw him out if he wants to, and keep him if he wants to stay."

"You don't have to force it, just handle it fairly."

"Yes, yes, we handled it impartially, we didn't see anything, we still have to go back to the yamen to answer, let's go first, the sun is poisonous here, don't expose Lord Xiaolan and the girl to the sun, the two of you should move to the shade Let's talk around, look at this girl's delicate skin and tender flesh, it's not good to have a bald skin."

Lan Fai stared at them silently.

This look can almost shoot a knife.

The yamen servants ran faster one by one, and disappeared in an instant.
