Chapter 248: The golden cicada sheds its shell

It is rare for everyone to have this leisure in official time, Shangguan and the prince are there, and there is no suspicion of investigating laziness, and they talk very happily, from the official affairs of the court to the history of wild officials, and finally fall on the poems and songs, and the green building hook column.

King Teng and Tang Jie did not stop them, allowing everyone to talk about the favorite topics between these men, not only that, but also pretending to be relaxed from time to time to stir up their enthusiasm.

Tang Jie and King Teng have been worried about things outside, Tang Jie probed out of the curtain from time to time to see if the official who heard the news came back, what was the current situation, and whether Yan Shu would make any moves.

At three o'clock, the official who listened to the news came back on a fourth trip, and the news was still that the car of the third envoy was still blocked on the street, and hundreds of 'people' sat at both ends of the car to see the adults, but Yan Shu avoided it, hid in the sedan chair and did not show up, but the German army deployed the general Li Gang and Yan Shu's fast son-in-law Fu Bi with his guards and soldiers to confront the 'people', it seems that both sides are planning to consume it like this, and no one has any signs of retreat or compromise.

What made Tang Jie even more strange was that Yan Shu never sent someone to the government to ask him to come forward, as if he had forgotten his existence as a prefect.

Tang Jie understood that Yan Shu didn't want him to come forward, because that would make people feel that the prefect Tang Jie was an indispensable figure in Ying Tianfu, and then he had to announce the decree and transfer it out, which seemed how ridiculous this holy decree was; What's more, Yan Shu can't pull off this old face, if Lord Yan, who even wants the emperor to give three points of face in the court, can't even walk out of the street in Tianfu anymore, won't he be a laughing stock in the court in the future.

Tang Jie was figuring out Yan Shu's thoughts, and he was completely sure that he would anticipate what was about to happen; Yan Shu is patient to persuade these 'people', but once he reaches the limit of patience, he will not hesitate to arrest them, and this is exactly what Tang Jie expected.

Because these so-called people are all ruffians and hooligans in the four cities woven under the hands of the prince, it is absolutely impossible for Yan Shu to solve it peacefully, and once he starts, no matter whether he wins or loses, Yan Shu will not be able to pay the difference in the court; Passing on a holy decree actually spread the chaos of the officers and soldiers and the people, and it was ridiculous for these three envoys to be the master of the Qincha.

Tang Jie decided to add warmth to the atmosphere, he whispered a few words to Zhao Zongdan, Zhao Zongdan laughed when he heard it, nodded his nose and said, "You are really bad." ”

Tang Jie smiled: "No way, it's all forced." ”

Zhao Zongdan beckoned Qin Fei and whispered in his ear: "Go and greet the brothers, the words are more vicious, the words are more ugly, remember not to do it first, if they do it, tell them not to be polite, smash it with wooden sticks and bricks, just don't use iron tools, so as not to be said to be prepared." ”

Qin Fei nodded and said, "Obey the king's orders, but ...... What if someone dies? ”

Zhao Zongdan laughed and said: "It's better to die in the air, tell Liu Qi, Wang Baldzi, and Li Dazui that if you really do it, don't be soft, the settlement fee is well prepared, and the leader is beaten to death, and someone will carry it if something happens." ”

Qin Feiyin smiled predictively, and said to Zhao Zongdan: "Lord, just look at it, with your words, Guan Bao turned him upside down." ”

Zhao Zongdan thought for a while and said, "Don't come forward, find someone to spread the word, so as not to be recognized." ”

Qin Fei arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, so far, the sons and daughters don't know who arranged this, but these people don't have the leisure to ask, take the money to do things, who cares who pays the money." ”

Zhao Zongdan waved his hand and said, "That's very good, go ahead." ”

Qin Fei picked up his robe and turned to leave, as soon as he lifted the curtain, he heard a noisy noise outside, and some people shouted one after another: "Alas, alas, who are you, this is Yingtianfu Ya, actually trespassing, Lord Fuzun is talking to a few adults about business, if you make trouble with them, you are afraid that you will have to peel off your skin." ”

Another shouted loudly: "Are you very powerful in the Tianfu Yamen?" We are breaking into your yamen, and we are looking for Tang Jie. ”

"On the contrary, the brothers copied the guys to stop them, a bunch of mud-legged people are so bold, I'm afraid I'm tired of living."

With this shout, the outside suddenly boiled, and the sound of shouting and scolding suddenly began, mixed with the piercing scraping sound of the blades drawn and the thud of clubs hitting the ground.

The inner hall listened to it clearly, and everyone had to stop talking about the romance of the four famous actors in Beijing, and turned their heads to look out of the curtain one by one, Qin Fei, who had half lifted the curtain, froze there like a clay sculpture and wood carving doll, blocking everyone's sight, and what could be seen was his thin and pointed back and buttocks.

Tang Jie frowned and walked over, grabbed Qin Fei who was blocking the way and pulled him back, Qin Fei sat down on the ground, only then did he wake up and point to the outside and stammer: "Yan ...... Yan ......"

King Teng scolded: "What are you doing, what are you castding, you have eaten hemp walnuts in your mouth?" I can't even say a word. ”

Tang Jie heard the noise outside intensifying, and he couldn't help but lift the curtain and step out, shouting and scolding: "Who is making a noise? The yamen is heavy, and someone dares to break into it, and they all go out! ”

King Teng led the officials to follow and lifted the curtain out, only to see more than a dozen men dressed in green clothes and short-sleeved people in the courtyard connected by the lobby and the second hall holding swords and confronting the three classes of officials in the palace, and behind the group stood a short and fat old man, dressed in cloth clothes, wearing a hat, with his head down, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Lord Tang is such a great official!" The man looked up slowly and said slowly.

As soon as Tang Jie's scolding came to his mouth, he was suddenly stuck under his tongue and couldn't get out, with a chubby face, thin eyes, a round nose, and a black beard on his upper and lower jaws, who is it?

Only then did King Teng understand why Qin Fei froze at the door and only called 'Yan ...... Yan', it turned out that Qin Fei's eyes were poisonous, and he guessed that it was Yan Shu just from his body shape and posture.

Zhao Zongdan dodged and retreated, and he planned to retreat back into the house, but he heard Yan Shu say loudly: "Lord Teng is also here, it just so happens that the old man is also about to go to your house to announce the decree, so I will get it together, and the old man of the province will run away, saying that the road to Tianfu is really difficult to walk, much more difficult than the barren mountains and swamps." ”

Tang Jie and Zhao Zongdan both understood the meaning of his words, but how could they dare to talk about this matter here and now, they could only pretend not to know; Zhao Zongdan adjusted his mood, walked forward with a smile and said: "It turned out to be Lord Yan, why is he wearing this shirt, this king thought it was a mud leg in the countryside, this king didn't want to deal with mud legs, just now he just wanted to avoid it." ”

Yan Shu smiled and said: "The body of the prince's daughter, naturally he can't meet with the mud legs, the old man understands very well, come on, give the official a wide coat." ”

The guards on the left and right shouted loudly, stepped forward to take off Yan Shu's cloth clothes covered outside, and took out a pair of official boots from his bulging arms, a lacquered black gauze crown, and helped Yan Shu change them one by one.

Everyone was stunned and watched Yan Shu wearing shoes and hats as if no one was around, except for Tang Jie and Zhao Zongdan, no one understood what was going on.

Tang Jie was annoyed in his heart, squinting at Zhao Zongdan, Zhao Zongdan's face was blue, and he glared at Qin Fei angrily, Qin Fei was cold and heartbroken, and regretted not falling; Hundreds of people intercepted back and forth, patronizing to pay attention to whether the people wearing scarlet high-ranking official clothes were in and out, but they didn't expect that this Yan Shu was so cunning, disguised as a common person and quietly broke out of his shell, and brought people directly to the mansion.

"The Divine Decree has arrived! King Teng Zhao Zongdan and Ying Tianzhi Tang Jie received the order!! Yan Shu shouted loudly, stretched out his hand and took out the bright yellow holy decree from his arms, and slowly unfolded it.

Zhao Zongdan and Tang Jie were still hesitating what to do, and the subordinate officials behind them had already knelt down like ducks going down the river.

Zhao Zongdan hesitated slightly, slowly bent his knees, and finally knelt down; Tang Jie sighed secretly, knowing that Zhao Zongdan lacked this courage, and finally did not dare to suddenly attack and kill Yan Shuge.

Tang Jie's knees were weak, puffed and knelt down, from the moment he knelt, Tang Jie knew that his fate was about to usher in a turning point, Tang Jie had already made plans at the moment of kneeling, and immediately went up to the fold to ask for guilt, and exposed King Teng's actions one by one to make meritorious contributions, his head was already on his neck, if he didn't do it decisively, he would implicate the heads of dozens of people in his family, plus hundreds of heads of the nine clans would all fall to the ground.

Yan Shu's eyes were cold, and he glanced at Zhao Zongdan and Tang Jie, who were kneeling slowly, with a faint smile on his face.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: should be the prefect of the heavenly mansion Tang Jie, the shepherd should be heaven and earth, diligent and dedicated, honest and self-denying, should be the order of the heavenly mansion, the people are safe and prosperous, I am deeply pleased, the Ministry of Auditors and Audits, get the above evaluation, I will be specially commended, promoted to two levels, and enter Beijing on the same day to serve as the post of Taichung Cheng of the Imperial History; I hope that Tang Aiqing adheres to the idea of serving the country and loving the people, and strives to forge ahead to be of great use. Chin this! ”

Tang Jie kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor." ”

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Congratulations to Lord Tang, this is a two-level official promotion to the position of the Imperial Historian, and the emperor has high hopes for you." ”

Tang Jie's face was expressionless, and he got up to accept the holy decree, and a smile on his face was not served.
