Zhu Shiyong sat in the government, and now the three presidents of the chamber of commerce simply did not shy away from taboos and appeared together, accompanying the lord of the mansion to wait for the news.

Since the second watch of the east city of Su Mansion in the air, Zhu Shiyong ordered the mobilization of the Luzhou Baoxin Army to carry out a large-scale search operation, sent more than 30 teams of search soldiers only got a vague order, that is, it is said that the key criminals who escaped from Xishan and Su Ji in the city seem to have colluded, and they can not find the key criminals, and the whereabouts of the Su family can also be captured and reinstated.

Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but no one will openly oppose what Lord Fuzun says; Besides, every search is a fat difference, and the soldiers are happy to fish in troubled waters, let alone say anything.

More than a dozen war horses galloped in front of the mansion, and a tall officer strode into the mansion hall, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the three chambers of commerce sitting in the lobby, the officer frowned slightly, and his face was displeased.

The person who came was Yang Yi, the commander of the Luzhou Baoxin Army, who was recently transferred from Leizhou Mansion and had just been in charge of the Baoxin Army for half a month.

While mobilizing the van soldiers to search, Yang Yi had a lot of doubts in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to come to the government to ask for an understanding.

Zhu Shiyong saw Yang Yi walking over, and said with a smile: "Commander Yang, it's going to be hard tonight, let Commander Yang have a bad year, and the mansion is really ashamed." ”

Yang Yi clasped his fists and saluted: "Where did Lord Fuzun say that the Baoxin Army was originally the Great Song Iron Armor of the peaceful side of Baolu Prefecture, but if there is a dispatch, he must do his best; It's just that there is something unclear about the humble position, and I want to ask for clarification. ”

"Commander Yang, please speak, sit down and say, look at the tea!" Zhu Shiyong smiled.

Yang Yi waved his hand to refuse the tea cup sent by the servant, and said, "Lord Fuzun, you said that this important criminal who escaped from Xishan is related to Su Ji, where did you know about this matter?" ”

Zhu Shiyong's face changed and said: "Commander Yang, just follow orders, where are there so many problems." ”

Yang Yi hugged his fists and said: "It's not a lowly duty, it's just that I feel that something is wrong, and I'm afraid that adults will be deceived by false news and get into trouble; Thinking that Su Jinnai is the special envoy of Qin's grain affairs, exterminating the bandits in Bagong Mountain and pacifying the grain affairs of Yangzhou, he is a person of great merit; He knew that when Bagong Mountain suppressed bandits, he had asked for help from my Luzhou Baoxin Army, but the adults did not agree to send troops at that time; The humble position understands the intention of the adults, but because of the joint suppression of the bandits in Bagong Mountain several times without making an incontribution, I hope that not sending troops can change Su Jin's crazy idea of not being able to do anything, but it turns out that we were wrong in the first calculation. ”

Zhu Shiyong twisted his beard and said indifferently: "So what? What does it have to do with this? ”

Yang Yi said: "The meaning of the humble position is that he has a dislike for him without sending troops to support him at the beginning, and if there is no conclusive evidence this time, he will falsely say that he has made friends with bandits. ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "Is Commander Yang saying that the mansion is confused?" Rest assured, the source of the news is absolutely reliable, if the official does not have real evidence, how can he stir up the people? Didn't you hear the reply? The people of the Su house in Dongcheng went to the empty building, and on the occasion of this New Year, the Su family disappeared together, doesn't this mean anything? ”

Yang Yi said sincerely: "This is not enough evidence, Su Envoy will go wherever he likes, that is his business, unless the adult has the human and physical evidence that Su Envoy contained and planned the escape of the Xishan bandits, how can he conclude on this basis?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "There are both human and material evidence. ”

Yang Yi bowed down and said, "Can you let me take a look at the humble position?" ”

Zhu Shiyong slammed the tea cup in his hand to the desk, and said, "Commander Yang, what should you do in this mansion?" You just have to be obedient and do what you say, but what's the reason for the noise? ”

Yang Yi arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to be humble, but I am worried that this matter will have a huge impact, after all, Su Jin is also the special envoy of the Qin Order, this matter is not only related to the prefect of the Dao Mansion, in case there is a bad pool, all the participants will be affected, it is better to be cautious." ”

Zhu Shiyong shouted angrily: "Bold! Yang Yi, you dare to say these things to this official, you are still not an official under this official? ”

Yang Yi raised his head and said: "My lord, the lowly position is naturally an official under your rule, but I am also the commander of the Baoxin Army, although it is a box army, in fact, it is controlled by the center, and the salaries and silver of the 1,800 soldiers of the Baoxin Army are all issued by the Privy Council; The promotion audit is also carried out by the Privy Council, and the court clearly states that the prefect of Fuzhou has the right to dispatch, but only when the people are in turmoil, disasters, and the enemy, and any other time can be determined according to the situation. ”

Zhu Shiyong looked at Yang Yi coldly and said, "It seems that you are determined not to listen to the orders of this government?" ”

Yang Yi said politely: "It's just a business matter, not a personal grudge." ”

Zhu Shiyong stared at Yang Yi and said, "I'm afraid you're thinking too highly of yourself." ”

Yang Yi finally couldn't help but protest and said: "Lord Prefect, let's say it clearly, I heard that you and Envoy Su have long had a disagreement, and I almost wrongfully imprisoned him at the beginning, and I don't want to get involved in the dispute between you and him; Although the lowly post was transferred from Leizhou in accordance with the order of the imperial court, it was not a fool to be lowly. ”

Zhu Shiyong smashed the teacup on the ground with a snap, and shouted: "Do you want to rebel|?" ”

Tang Jiyuan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce who was sitting on the side, interjected: "Commander Yang." You're going too far. ”

Yang Yi shouted: "What are you, when is it your turn to interject?" I, an official from Luzhou, are discussing military and political matters, why are the three of you sitting here like humans? ”

The three of them were speechless, and they hurriedly shut up and turned their heads; Zhu Shiyong sneered: "Very good, Commander Yang is really a good man, after tonight, this government will report your words and deeds to the court truthfully, and see what the above will say?" I think you've done it. ”

Yang Yi protested: "Please, although the lowly position is a martial artist, but he has never done anything wrong, the lowly position only wants to know what he is doing, and he doesn't want to walk on a wrong path." ”

Zhu Shiyong's face was blue and red, and he was about to be reprimanded, but he saw the fire outside the yamen shining and the voices were noisy, mixed with the woman's delicateness. With a cry, a large group of soldiers came back with torches.

Zhu Shiyong snorted, got up and left his seat and walked to the entrance of the yamen, and a box soldier rushed to report: "Report to Lord Fuzun, more than ten unknown women have been captured in Taohua Lane in Dongcheng." ”

Zhu Shiyong's face sank and said: "I ordered you to wait for the search to find out the whereabouts of the Su family, why did you arrest so many women?" What kind of body does it mean to cry like this? ”

The soldier hurriedly said: "Lord Qiyu, these women have a great background, they have no identity, and secondly, according to the confession of one of the women, they were brought to Luzhou by Su Jin from Yangzhou, and the original identity is a fireworks woman, and the lowly rank feels that something is wrong, so they brought them to Lord Fuzun to send them down." ”

Zhu Shiyong was shocked and said, "Oh? And such things? Bring them all in. ”

The van soldier took the order and left, and after a while, more than a dozen women were dragged in, and several of them were disheveled and had fluffy hair, obviously these van soldiers took advantage of the maneuver to move their feet.

Zhu Shiyong looked at these women, although they were frightened and timid, they couldn't hide their beauty, and they were puzzled, but they didn't know what Su Jin was going to do when he brought these women to Luzhou from Yangzhou.

"Who's in the hall?" Zhu Shiyong shouted.

Women, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak; Zhu Shiyong slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Didn't you hear what the official asked you?" ”

Zhu Shiyong saw that a woman in Tsing Yi had a slightly calmer face, so he pointed at her and asked: "You talk back and forth, if you don't speak, the government will beat you up." ”

The woman knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the prefect, the slaves are women from good families, and they have come here from Yangzhou Mansion, and they are not traitors. ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "What's your name?" ”

"Slave white peony."

"White peony? Listening to your name, it doesn't look like a woman from a good family, what kind of livelihood do you do, you are recruited from the truth. ”

Bai Peony hung his head and didn't answer, and a box soldier came up and muttered two words in Zhu Shiyong's ear, pointing to a woman in red in the crowd.

Zhu Shiyong nodded and shouted, "Who is called Little Jasmine?" ”

The woman in red stepped forward in the crowd and said, "See the adult, the slave family is Xiao Jasmine." ”

Zhu Shiyong made eye contact with her, and suddenly his heart fluttered, this little jasmine looked quite cute, a ruddy little mouth was half open, and two watery peach blossom eyes almost hooked his old soul; What's more, on such a cold day, she was only wearing tulle clothes, revealing a large looming breast.

Zhu Shiyong settled down and asked, "Are you Little Jasmine?" Can you tell me where you came from? What is it? ”

Little Jasmine threw a wink and said in a delicate tone: "The slave family naturally knows everything, ask the eldest master for mercy, don't be tortured, the slave family is afraid of pain." ”
