Tiantang

Chapter 123

Chapter 131
Zhang Xuan stared deeply at Yang Lian.

He knew in his heart that Yang Lianming was pleading guilty, but he was actually pleading for Yang Yan.

However, for Zhang Xuan, this matter is not simply about his personal face.Now that this kind of thing has happened, he simply took the opportunity to kill the prestige of these so-called imperial relatives and dignitaries in Chang'an City, don't bully men and women to be lawless at every turn!

The atmosphere in Chang'an City is corrupt, and the "model effect" of the nobles is an important factor.

As the governor of Jingzhao, he is in charge of the public security administration of Chang'an City. If he wanted to make Chang'an City look brand new, Zhang Xuan could only start with the nobles and kill everyone to make an example.

Of course, only Zhang Xuan has the courage and courage.Any governor of the Jingzhao government would definitely not dare to offend the emperor's relatives.For this kind of thing, it is just to turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Now that Zhang Xuan has made up his mind, he will not change his mind.

He smiled lightly, "General Yang, do you feel that this officer is making a fuss out of a molehill?"

Yang Lian was taken aback, and quickly bowed and said, "The last general doesn't dare. Yang Jie offended the general, so he should be held accountable. But the general should be merciful for the sake of Prince Consort Yang and Princess Taihua!"

"It doesn't matter whether you offend me or not. But if this is the case for this official, how about treating ordinary people? If this official does not kill this domineering and arrogant atmosphere, who will respect the laws of the Tang Dynasty under the influence of others? Obey the government management?"

"Okay, General Yang, you are ordered by the emperor to take over the defense of the other palace in Lishan, so you should go out of the city to take up the post quickly. Military affairs are important, and you must remember them!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand and got up.

Yang Lian didn't dare to say any more, he should be respectful and said nothing more.

……

……

As night fell, it was evening.

Outside Yang Concubine's mansion, there was suddenly the sound of horseshoes and swords clashing. Not long after, the two gatekeepers caught a glimpse of two teams rushing from the way in front of the mansion. One was a policeman from Jingzhao Mansion. Yamen servants, one is the city defense guard of the Imperial Army Habayashi Guard, and the two add up to at least 300 people.

While the guards were stunned, they surrounded the son-in-law's mansion in the shortest possible time.

Jingzhao Mansion Shao Yin Malu Xiang gave Gu Xi to Habayashi Weiro who came here together on business, "General Gu Lang, should the general come first or the official first?"

Gu Xi smiled slightly, got off the horse and saluted, "Ma Shaoyin, I will follow the general's military order to assist the Jingzhao Mansion in handling the case. Of course, Ma Shaoyin will take the lead in everything."

Malu nodded, flicked his robe sleeves, stepped forward to the guard with a solemn expression and shouted loudly, "Yang Yan took advantage of his power to do evil, harmed the market, and wantonly made his slaves commit crimes in public—this official, Malu, Shao Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, according to you Law of the Tang Dynasty, under the order of General Zhang, came here together with General Gu of the Habayashi Guard Su Weilang to handle the case. Please go in quickly and report to Concubine Yang, and hand over the murderer Yang Yan and a group of evil slaves. If not, don’t blame me This official has no manners to bring people into the mansion to arrest the murderer!"

The two guards in Yang Qi's mansion were startled when they heard the words, and they thought to themselves that the young master of his family had just returned from studying in the middle of Sichuan, so why did he cause such a catastrophe?Jingzhao Mansion and Habayashi Wei jointly came to arrest people, this...

The two house slaves were frightened and ran into the mansion in a hurry to report.

Yang Kai is drinking tea with his wife, Princess Taihua, in the flower hall in the backyard, talking about some gossip between husband and wife by the way.Recently, Yang Kai was in a good mood. He heard that the imperial court was promoting the policy of cutting and merging feudal vassals. He also heard that Zhang Xuan had recommended himself to the emperor as the Governor of Anxi Protectorate and Governor of Anxi.

Although Zhao Ming has not been issued yet, the information from Yang Guozhong said that this matter is true, and there is more than [-]% hope.

Although Yang Kai is a son-in-law, he has been idle all the time. He is full of talents and learning, but has nowhere to display them.Suddenly there is a stage to display his talents, how can he not be excited?Therefore, he has already made various preparations for being released as a feudal town.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort..." The two gate guards came into the hall together and knelt down on the ground, and said in a hurry, "Outside the gate, Malu and Habayashi Weilang, the young minister of the Jingzhao Mansion, led the army to surround the mansion, claiming to serve as the Great General. Order, come to the house to arrest the murderer!"

Yang Kai was taken aback, and Princess Taihua's face suddenly changed.

Yang Kai got up abruptly, frowned and said, "What's going on? Quickly follow the truth!"

"My son-in-law, the little one doesn't know either. It's just that the people in Jingzhao Mansion said that the young master committed murder and hurt people in public..."

Before one of the door guards could finish speaking, Yang Kai slapped the desk angrily and said, "Quickly summon that little evil to me!"

Yang Li also heard the news, but felt a little panicked.What's more, he didn't expect that Zhang Xuan actually sent people to arrest people, and even sent troops to surround the consort's mansion.

After entering the living room, Yang Kai looked at him coldly and reprimanded him, "You bastard, what catastrophe did you cause outside today, so that people from Jingzhao Mansion and Habayashi Guard came to arrest you?"

Princess Taihua also hurriedly said in a deep voice, "My son, hurry up and tell your father the truth..."

It was only then that Yang Yan realized that he had caused a catastrophe beyond control, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Yang Kai gasped after hearing this, and glared at Yang Yan bitterly, but was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Ordinarily, it is normal for the children of powerful and powerful families to be a little more arrogant outside. If they instigate their slaves to hurt others and break the law, Yang Qi can also find a way to settle it for Yang Yan;With Zhang Xuan's power at the moment, how could he be able to swallow this breath?
Princess Taihua frowned and sighed, "My son, who is not good for you to provoke, but this Zhang Xuan. Do you know that this person can't even provoke your father and your mother?"

"Husband, although Xi'er has done it before, but Zhang Xuan is too deceitful. It is really unreasonable to send troops to besiege the son-in-law's mansion! When I go out and argue with the people in Jingzhao Mansion, I want to see who Dare to arrest my son?" Princess Taihua sneered and was about to go out.

"Princess, absolutely not!" Yang Qi stood up and stopped him, "Zhang Xuan is a man who is not willing to be hard, and now he is in power, and he is on the right side, if the princess goes out, it will make things difficult... this matter There’s really no wiggle room.”

Princess Taihua turned her head to look at Yang Kai, and said dissatisfiedly, "Could it be that you just watched them come to deceive others and take my son away?"

"If Li'er is taken away, what will be my face?"

"Princess, let's do this—give those slaves to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and then a certain and the princess will take this evil person to the third sister's mansion, and let the third sister go to discuss favors with Zhang Xuan, and see if it can be settled. This matter is over." Yang Qi sighed, and glanced at Yang Yan angrily, wishing he could step forward and kick this ignorant and stupid son over.

……

……

Jingzhao Mansion Shao Yin Ma Lu and Habayashi Wei Su Wei Lang brought Gu Xi back with those slaves from the consort's mansion, and they were ordered to be executed according to the law.Although the "first offender" Yang Li was not caught, Malu also knew that Yang Li was the son of the princess after all. Zhang Xuan's move was intended to make an example of his prestige and to make an example, but he did not really want to arrest Yang Li and put him in jail for questioning.

It is even more impossible for him to really bring someone into the Prince Consort's Mansion to arrest him.

When the news spread, some people applauded, but more people were shocked and vigilant.It doesn't matter what Zhang Xuan wants to do, what matters is that Zhang Xuan has sounded the alarm for some people.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan's strong and tough iron-fisted image was once again shown to the world.

The husband and wife of Yang Kai and Princess Taihua took Yang Yan, who was as embarrassed as frost beating an eggplant, to the Mrs. Guo's mansion in a hurry, and asked Sanjie Yang for help.Third Sister Yang hesitated for a while, but still for the sake of the family, she accompanied Yang Qi and his wife to the General's Mansion.

Zhang Xuan had already expected that Yang Kai and his wife came to "plead guilty" face to face.

In fact, he wasn't doing it to get angry or fight for face, but to have other plans.

Yang Kai is about to go to Anxi, and this is still his recommendation in front of the emperor; for future plans, he feels it is necessary to win over Yang Kai.It's just that he has never thought of a suitable opportunity.Yang Li's visit just created an opportunity for Zhang Xuan.

It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't expect that Yang Kai would bring Sanjie Yang along with him.

Hearing the news, Zhang Xuan brought Zhang Li and several servants to welcome him to the front hall in person.

Yang Kai and Princess Taihua looked at Sanjie Yang in embarrassment when they saw Zhang Xuan approaching.

Third Sister Yang smiled, and greeted from all the way, "Zizhan!"

"Third Sister!" Zhang Xuan smiled, then looked at Yang Kai and Princess Taihua again, arched his hands and said, "His Royal Highness and the concubine are passing through the house, Zhang Xuan is far away, please forgive me!"

Zhang Xuan's attitude was not bad, but Yang Qi was a little surprised.He forced a smile and stepped forward, "General, a certain family and the princess brought this villain to the door to plead guilty, and also asked the general to show extra favor on the face of the certain family and the princess, and when we go back, we will punish this evil person severely! "

Third Sister Yang smiled and agreed, "Zizhan, if you want to say it as a slave, this is a misunderstanding. This kid Yang Yan has just returned from studying in the middle of Sichuan, and he doesn't know you. He was young and said a few words that were too much, you Don’t get to know him as well.”

Zhang Xuan smiled calmly, turned around and stared at Yang Yan who was standing behind Princess Taihua.

Princess Taihua teased Yang Yan secretly, and signaled Yang Yan to go forward and make amends in person.

Yang Yan was helpless, and also for his own sake, went forward boldly and gave a deep bow, "The boy offended the general, please forgive the crime of the boy's ignorance!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes flickered with coldness, he looked at Yang Yan coldly for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "You are still obsessed with your obsession. This official punished you not because you offended this official, but because you committed violence and bullied others willfully!"

"It's a blessing for you to be born in a royal family. As a relative of the royal family, you should abide by the etiquette and laws of the country, cultivate your morals and serve the court in the future, so that you can live up to your family background. If you rely on your parents' shade, you will be just a dude after all. It’s just a son! This is all I have said, you should introspect yourself!”

Zhang Xuan's voice was cold yet generous.

But soon, his face calmed down and he smiled loudly, facing Yang Qi, Princess Taihua and the third sister Yang, he put his hands aside and said to the guests, "His Royal Highness, Concubine Yang, third sister, please enter the hall for tea!"
