Chapter 383: Conflicting Opinions
After Xu Jin sent Huang Jin away, he untied the handcuff tucked around his waist and rested it on the coffee table. This thing is a copper pipe more than 20 centimeters long, and the wooden handle is more than 30 centimeters, which is extremely inconvenient to carry and use, and the key is that it becomes a useless burning stick when it rains. Xu Jin wanted to get a repeating pistol with a magazine in later generations, but with the current industrial level of the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously impossible to make it.
Xue Bingxin frowned, and subconsciously moved half a step away, avoiding the mouth of the handcuff, as a person who practices martial arts, she is naturally extremely sensitive to danger, and this thing makes her feel threatened.
Xu Jin smiled: "Miss Xue is afraid of this? ”
Xue Bingxin said contemptuously: "Firearms are useless, long-range lethality is not as good as bows and arrows, at close range, this girl killed you and didn't light the fire, just scare ordinary people." ”
"That's a modern firearm you've never seen!" Xu Jin said secretly in his heart, but he didn't refute it, just smiled.
For insects that grow in spring and fall in autumn, there are only three seasons a year, and you can't tell it what ice and snow are. In the same way, for the ancients 500 years ago, if you told her that people could soar in the sky (airplanes) and swim under the sea (submarines), she might have thought you would be an idiot.
Xu Jin's smile was very hateful in Xue Bingxin's eyes, and she felt deeply despised and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "What are you laughing at, is this girl wrong?" Why don't we practice! ”
Xu Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's still forgiven, the official knows that Miss Xue's sword is very fast, and it is estimated that the official's fire fold was stabbed over by you before it was taken out." ”
The corners of Xue Bingxin's mouth curled slightly, a smile flashed under her eyes, and she said lightly: "Lord Xu is still self-aware, you scholars are only used to playing tricks and engaging in intrigues, but you can only be beaten when you do it." ”
Xue Bingxin couldn't help but think of someone's "conspiracy" to "trap" the tiger, and her cheeks quietly gave birth to a little red.
Xu Jin glanced at Xue Bingxin on Xia Fei's cheeks strangely, but this Bing Niu's blushing appearance was extremely beautiful, her eyes subconsciously moved down, sweeping the towering on the woman's chest, and then down was the slender waist that she was holding in a hand, and her heartbeat was a little faster, so she quickly withdrew her gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip to cover it up.
Women are obviously very sensitive to this aspect, Xue Bingxin glared at Xu Jin, and then turned to look out the window. Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, and carefully calculated that he had been away from Beijing for more than 20 days, and there was no wife and beautiful maid by his side to serve, which was the rhythm of internal fire disorder.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xu Jin coughed lightly and said: "There are brocade guards outside, Miss Xue doesn't have to stay here, and go to rest by herself, if you go out, the official will notify you." ”
Xue Bingxin heard that her long legs moved, and she walked straight out of the flower hall without looking back.
……
In a mansion in Yuncheng County, Luo Xiang, the eunuch of the town guard, sat on the Taishi chair in the hall with a gloomy face, and the index finger and thumb of his right hand were slowly rotating a jade plate finger on his left thumb.
Ten brand-new large wooden boxes were placed in the hall, which were sent back by the eunuch Huang Jin just now, and there were many gold, silver, jewelry, and precious medicinal herbs inside.
At this time, a man with a knife walked in, not tall, but his body was very strong and well-proportioned, with two dark red scars on his bald head, and his temples were slightly raised, looking very tough.
This fanzi is called Yan Yang, nicknamed Bald Eagle, he has been a brave and ruthless master since he was a child, and once had a conflict with a pig killer in a neighboring village, and his head was cut twice, although he was lucky to get his life back in the end, but since then he has left two scars.
This kid is fierce, after recovering from his injuries, he took advantage of Chinese New Year's Eve to touch the door, stabbed the pig killer's family of six, and then fled away overnight, shaved his hair and changed his name, and joined a group of strongmen who robbed houses. This guy is fierce by nature, and gradually became the boss of this gang of strongmen, and annexed the forces of several nearby mountains, which made him famous, and he was nicknamed Bald Eagle.
But as the so-called tree is a big move, the days of scenery have not passed a few years, Yan Yang was surrounded and suppressed by the official army, and almost did not die under the arrows, and later took refuge in the town guard eunuch Luo Xiang, because of his courage and fierceness, coupled with good martial arts, he is now the commander of Luo Eunuch's personal guard.
After Yan Yang came in, he saluted Luo Xiang and reported: "Father-in-law, there is a hidden stake of Jinyi Wei outside the house that is watching!" ”
Luo Xiang sneered twice.
Yan Yang's eyes showed ruthlessness, and he said in a cruel voice: "That kid surnamed Xu is too arrogant, relying on the identity of Qincha, he doesn't take his father-in-law in his eyes at all." There are just a few sharpshooters among our brothers who have walked through the field at a hundred paces, why don't you give that kid a try? ”
Luo Xiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, obviously a little moved, but in the end, reason overcame anger, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this for the time being!" ”
If Qin Cha died under the "natural disaster", it is possible to cover up the past, but if he dies under the hidden arrow, then this matter cannot be covered up at all, and the imperial court will definitely send someone to investigate it to the end, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.
Of course, if it really comes to the point of being poor, this is not a bad choice, it depends on whether the kid surnamed Xu will be a man, and if he really wants to force himself into a corner, it's a big deal to break the net.
Luo Xiang turned his jade plate finger for a while, and said lightly: "Let people get a table of delicious wine and food for Song Governor and send it to them, and tell them that they can eat as much as they want (you can't talk nonsense), it's enough!" ”
……
On the fourth day of the eighth month of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, shortly after the end of the early dynasty, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi held an emergency meeting in the Wenhua Palace, and the four elders of the cabinet, the six Shangshu, the imperial history of the Duchayuan, and the Dali Temple were all summoned.
The reason was that Xu Jin, the deputy disaster relief envoy who had been reported missing in the flood only two days earlier, had sent an 800-mile rush from Caozhou, Shandong, and claimed that some local officials had deliberately dug up the embankment in an attempt to kill Qincha.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately shook the entire government and the opposition, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed a few cases of local officials beating Qincha, but afterwards the main culprits were sentenced to death, and no one dared to easily pick up Qincha's "tiger whiskers", let alone murder Qincha, these magistrates in Yanzhou Mansion are still bold!
However, at this time, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall was a little delicate, and since he was reinstated and entered the cabinet, the old Fei Ge, who had been very low-key, had the first confrontation with Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, felt that a messenger should be appointed to investigate the case, while Fei Hong thought that Xu Jin should be given full responsibility for this move, and he should be given the title of commander of military affairs.
