Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 109 The world is bustling (1)
It was three poles high in the sun, and it shone into the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.Above the lobby, Governor Li Xijie walked up and down anxiously with a livid complexion.All the yamen servants were silent, they sealed their lips and lowered their hands, waiting quietly in the hall.

After walking around for a while, Li Fuyin suddenly stood still and shouted: "Where is Lu Bantou!?"

After Lu Ban heard it, he quickly stepped forward. "Here is the humble position, what are your orders?"

"What are your orders? Huh!" Li Fuyin said angrily, "I'm here to ask you, is there any progress in Du Kuishao's case?"

"My lord," Lu Ban frowned, "Feng's experience is already being investigated, and I think it will be solved soon..."

"Pushing and dragging, procrastinating!" Li Fuyin slapped the table, "Do you know that Mr. Du of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been urged several times by someone!?"

Hearing what Fu Yin said, Lu Bantou was quite unconvinced. "Feng has been running around in the past two days, and he is not idle!"

"Hmph, what a joke!" Li Fuyin sneered, "Without Zhang Butcher, you have to eat even hairy pigs? What do you guys do to catch fast government servants!?"

After eating this choke, Lu Ban opened his mouth a few times, but didn't get a word.

"And that Feng Shen!" Li Fuyin said again, "I don't know who took advantage of it. With a little cleverness, he relied on his talent to be arrogant and unruly. How could he have the slightest bit of official status? He just had a job experience and didn't concentrate on handling documents. The cashier, however, is always dictating the case. He can do his own mischief, but there are still a group of people who follow him! Humph... Could it be that Shen Yuqing's lax management is why you are so used to being so unruly? moment!?"

Hearing him pointing and cursing Huai, sneering and sarcasm, Lu Ban's head turned blue and purple, and he deliberately defended himself with a few words, he was unreasonable and low-ranking, and his cheeks swelled with anger, but he dared not speak out.

The more Li Fuyin spoke, the higher the tone became, and at the end, he was almost scolding.Just at this time, two people suddenly broke into the hall.

"Master Li, you are really majestic!"

Li Fuyin raised his head and saw that it was King Su and Feng Shen, he frantically lifted his official robes and fell to his knees. "My subordinate Li Xijie...knows Lord Su..."

"Get up! I can't do this great gift!" King Su waved his hand, "I was outside just now, and I heard you yelling three times and four times. In front of this king, Master Li, repeat what you said just now?"

Li Fuyin got up, dripping with cold sweat. "The next official talks nonsense, it can't be true...it can't be true..."

"Since it can't be true, it's better to say less in the future!" Su Wang said again, "During Shen Yuqing's tenure, he treated his subordinates leniently and ruled them with virtue. How could Master Li be so bossy!?"

"Yes, yes, yes," said Li Fuyin hastily, "The lower officials speak freely, exaggerating..."

Seeing this, Feng Shen quickly changed the subject. "My lord, the murder case of Shihuaguan has been investigated by the humble staff."

"Oh?" Li Fu Yin Yixi, "The murderer got it?"

"There is no culprit in this case," Feng Shen shook his head and said, "After an autopsy and investigation, it was determined that Du Kuishao died suddenly and had nothing to do with anyone else!"

"Is this the result of your test?" Li Fu Yin Fang was about to get angry, but suddenly remembered that King Su was still at the side, "Then...then Du Kuishao was in his prime, and he was healthy and healthy...how could he die suddenly for no reason? "

"I don't dare to make judgments about this... lowly position," Feng Shendao, "However, according to the confession of the servants of the Du family, Du Kuishao tortured and murdered a woman during his lifetime... and on the night of the incident, the fans of the planting flower shop also witnessed all kinds of things. Weird... As for whether it was the female ghost who took her life and was condemned by the heavens, or whether he himself died of guilt and guilt, then it is unknown..."

"God's punishment! It must be God's punishment!" Lu Bantou yelled suddenly, "What did I say? You still don't believe it, Du Kuishao has done a lot of evil, and he deserves to be punished!"

Feng Shen and Su Wang looked at each other and smiled, knowing each other without saying a word.

Li Fuyin said "hehe" twice, and said to Feng Shen, "Feng Jing, it's fine if you can't find the real culprit, you shouldn't use this kind of nonsense to prevaricate the government!"

"Why did your lord make such a statement?" Feng Shen said: "The lowly position is based on analysis... If your lord still doesn't believe it, you can ask someone else to verify it."

"What else?" King Su coughed lightly and blushed. "In my opinion, this case should be closed now! Everyone knows Du Kuishao's behavior well... The more we investigate, the more unfavorable it will be for the Du family... To end up with a sudden death, It’s already cheap for him!”

"This...isn't it right?" Li Fuyin showed a look of embarrassment, "If Master Du asks..."

"Master Du?" Su Wang was startled, and immediately reacted. "Oh, it's Du Kuishao's brother who is the censor of Zuodu? It doesn't matter! You go and tell him, if you have any objections, just come to me!"

Li Fuyin had no choice but to be obedient. "Since the lord has spoken, I... I must obey..."

King Su nodded and came to Feng Shen's side. "Feng Shen, your experience in Shuntian Mansion...you should stop doing it!"

"Ah?" Feng Shen was really taken aback, "My lord...how do you say that?"

"People don't want to see you, why bother to make people hate you?" Su Wang said, and glanced at Li Fuyin. "This king will find another job for you!"

After King Su finished speaking, no matter how surprised Li Fuyin was, he forced Feng Shen and went straight out of Shuntian Mansion.

Outside the government office, I have already waited for two small sedan chairs from the palace.As soon as they saw the two people coming out, all the sedan chairmen hurriedly bowed down to pay their respects, and all raised the sedan chair curtains.

Feng Shen was stunned and said, "My lord...you are?"

"Don't ask so many questions," King Su smiled, and got into the leading sedan chair, "Just follow along!"

"Yes..." Feng Shen followed his words, but with doubts in his heart, he boarded the sedan chair at the back.

As soon as the two of them sat firmly, the porters threw off their legs and carried them forward like flying.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Shen felt the sedan chair sink.He knew that he had arrived at the place, and when the sedan chair settled down, he opened the curtain and went out.

What came into view was a lively street with flags waving on both sides and the sound of goods everywhere.At the end of the street, there is a city tower rammed with earth, which is Chongwen Gate on Nanan Road.

There is an old Beijing saying: "Nine inner gates, seven imperial cities and four outer gates, nine inner gates and nine chariots".Among the nine gates, each has its own duties.Zhengyangmen, take the dragon cart; Andingmen, take the mixing cart; Deshengmen, take the military chariot; Xuanwumen, take the prison cart; Fuchengmen, take the coal cart; Chaoyangmen, take the grain cart; Dongzhimen, take the tile cart; Xizhimen , take the water cart; and what this Chongwenmen walks is exactly the wine cart.

Under the gate of Chongwen, a "wine road" is paved.Vendors, big and small, push the carts to carry the burden, and transport the fine wine into the city at a price of pearls.Wherever it passes, the bad alcohol refreshes the spleen, and the aroma of wine is tangy.

There are not only fine wines here, but also a wide variety of goods.It's just because there is still a tax office here, and the general tax for entering Beijing is collected.Outside the government office, there is a list of taxable items posted. Regardless of whether you are a merchant or a pawn, as long as the goods you carry are on the list, you will be taxed and paid on the spot.

However, the prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit.In the imperial city of Gyeonggi, there are more connections than other places.Therefore, if you are a business traveler, even if you pay high taxes, you must enter the city for trade.For this reason, both inside and outside Chongwen, vehicles and horses run parallel to each other, and all kinds of industries converge.

Seeing that Feng Shen was still looking around, King Su patted him on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go to the city gate and take a look!"

When Feng Shen heard the words, he and Su Wang abandoned the sedan chair and came to the root of the city together.

At this time, Chongwenmen has been covered with a layer of bricks and stones outside the board building.However, after several encounters with soldiers, the walls of the city were inevitably sunken and uneven.

The two walked up the ramp and up the steps.After a while, he boarded the tower.Holding the battlements, King Su looked into the distance.There are many sheds and four rooms, and the stacks of goods are stacked high.There is an endless stream of sweat and cattle, and the city is noisy.

King Su sighed, and pointed to the side of the city ear. "Every time I see it, the anger in this king's chest is hard to calm down!"

Feng Shen followed the situation and saw a collapsed archery tower on the side of the city.When the Gengzi Kingdom changed, the building was destroyed by artillery from foreign soldiers.After the disaster was eliminated, the imperial court was unable to restore the state treasury due to the cut of the war money, and left it abandoned until now.

This collapsed watchtower, like a scar, was branded hard on the dilapidated city wall.Recalling the national humiliation in the past, Feng Shen was filled with hurt and anger, he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles creaking.

Suddenly, Su Wangkang chanted: "The misfortune shocked the Han Dynasty, the plains are dyed, and the smoke of Kyushu is everywhere. The Tai'a hangs upside down, and the barbarian song outside the Great Wall, and he plays it on his own face. The head of Guizhou is covered with charcoal, and the unfeeling rain destroys the temples. Tears. Splash, swear to drive thousands of miles, drink horse Huchuan!"

Hearing King Su's indignation, Feng Shen couldn't help applauding: "Your Majesty, this half-column "Yanshan Pavilion" is full of excitement and majesty, full of the majesty of Yue Wumu!"

"The shame of Jingkang is still unresolved; the hatred of the courtiers, when will it be eliminated..." King Su smiled bitterly, "Looking at the temples today, most of them are stupid officials. Civil officials are greedy for money, and military generals are afraid of death. Hearing the news, he became frightened and tremblingly begged for perfection... The hunger to eat the meat of the barbarians and the thirst to drink the blood of the Xiongnu is nothing more than a mirror image. As for regaining the old mountains and rivers... I am afraid that I will die forever, and I am sad..."

"My lord don't want to be lazy and discouraged. You have the courage to humble your position, and express your ambition with clumsy words, and come to quarrel with your lord!" Feng Shen said, then bowed his head in thought.After strolling around for a while, he chanted loudly, "Master Mo Dao has not passed through the years, and his deep heart will be rewarded. How can his family and country be worth it? Willing to hold a hooked sword and pacify the Tibetans in one fell swoop, why are you afraid of returning the body? Soldier in the same robe, Yelang How dare you speak nonsense? When you pass the gate, draw your long bow, and the Qiang geese will pass through you!"

"What a 'Wild Wild Goose'! Enjoy! Enjoy!" Su Wang exclaimed, "Your passion and ambition really please me. You can be trusted, you can trust me!"

Under the affection, Feng Shen's every word was sonorous. "The prince relies heavily on his rewards, expects a lot, and is ashamed of his humble position! However, our generation is in its youth, and we should work hard to become stronger. One day, we will drive all those foreign bandits out of our country!"

After hearing this, King Su's face froze. "That's not right! I only care about generosity... This king has unknowingly involved himself... Feng Shen, in the eyes of you Han people, our bannerman is also that tartar! ?”
