Immediately after, with the sound of footsteps, a group of people followed the mountain road and walked to the top of the mountain. The two people at the head were dressed in scarlet robes, and the fifty sergeants behind him were shining in armor.
Of course, Cui Geng knew these two officials in scarlet robes.
The person on the left is Yang Wulian, the assassin of Shaanzhou, and the one on the right is Wu Zetian's henchman, the general of Qianniu Weizhonglang, and the eunuch Wu Zhuang!
Wu Zhuang is not in Chang'an to protect Wu Zetian, what are you doing in Shaanzhou?
"Up!"
Just when Cui Geng was stunned, Wu Zhuang gave an order, and fifty armor soldiers stepped forward quickly and surrounded Cui Geng and the others.
"Wu Zhonglang, what do you want to do?"
"Hey, what's it for?" Yang Wulian couldn't wait to answer: "Cui Geng, your case has been issued, Wu Zhonglang was ordered by His Majesty to arrest you back to Chang'an and fight a lawsuit!" โ
"Huh?" Cui Geng was stunned and said, "What case did this official commit?" What kind of case can this official commit? โ
"The stakes in this case are very important, and the miscellaneous family does not dare to reveal the slightest bit of their words." Wu Zhuang said: "When you get to the place, Cui Zhuan will know." As for now...... Let's go with the miscellaneous family? โ
As he spoke, Wu Zhuang had already taken out half a turtle talisman.
In the Spring and Autumn period, the Qin and Han dynasties had tiger charms, the Tang Dynasty had fish charms, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had turtle charms. Each talisman is divided into two halves, half of which is taken by the court and half by the officials, which is a token to verify the authenticity of the imperial order.
Of course, up to now, if there is really any order, Wu Zetian usually gives an order, and the turtle talisman is rarely used. However, generally speaking, the priority of the letter is higher than that of the Holy Decree, because it is easy to make a false Decree, but it is too difficult to make a letter that is completely in line with the official's Letter.
Now Wu Zhuang took out the turtle talisman, first, it shows that Wu Zetian attaches great importance to this matter. Second, I am afraid that this matter is quite inside, Wu Zetian is reluctant to make an order, and wants to recruit Cui Geng back to Chang'an first.
Cui Geng instantly figured out the seriousness of this matter, put his hands together, stretched forward, and said, "Wu Zhonglang, do you still want to use torture tools?" โ
Wu Zhuang shook his head and said lukewarmly: "That's not necessary, you are still Jing Zhaoyin, a water and land transfer envoy." It's just that until the case is cleared, they are not free. โ
"That'...... Shall we leave for Chang'an now? โ
Wu Zhuang bowed slightly and said, "Cui Zhuan, please!" โ
โฆโฆ
Cui Geng followed Wu Zhuang and the others down the mountain, and saw that the two carts were ready, and three hundred armor soldiers lined up and stood aside.
He pointed to a big car and said, "This is for this officer?" โ
Wu Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes, yes." โ
"What about the other one?"
Wu Zhuang smiled and said, "That is naturally prepared for Yang Tingshi." โ
Yang Wulian's face immediately changed suddenly, and he said, "What...... What the? Is it still related to the history of this thorn? Wu Zhonglang, you didn't say it before? โ
"Nonsense, I told you in advance, what should I do if you run away?" Immediately, Wu Zhuang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Take it away!" โ
Cui Geng is both an important minister of the court and a saint, and Wu Zhuang still maintains his politeness on the surface. Yang Wulian is just a Zhongzhou assassin, and he even saves his politeness on the surface.
As soon as he gave the order, two armor soldiers stepped forward, wiped their shoulders and put their arms together, tied Yang Wulian sturdy, and stuffed him into the cart.
"Let's go, go back to Chang'an!"
Wu Zhuang gave an order, the sound of horses' hooves, and the whole team whipped their horses and went westward at great speed.
Looking at their distant backs, everyone was a little confused.
Feng Changqing knew Zhou Xing's details, and said, "Old Zhou, what should we do now?" โ
Zhou Xing thought for a while, and said carefully: "Look at this posture, this lawsuit is not small. But then again, now we have a black eye, and it is not appropriate to act rashly. It's better to gather your strength and be ready at any time. โ
"I think so too, so let's go back to Chang'an together?"
MCA interjected: "I'll go too!" โ
"You?" Song Genghai frowned and said, "You are a nine-rank official, what's the use of going back?" It's better to stay here and take care of the Sanmenxia project for your lordship. โ
MCA argued: "If something happens to Master Cui, I don't know which grandson will be cheaper for this Sanmenxia project?" What am I doing for him? โ
"But it's useless for you to go back to Chang'an!"
"Why didn't it work? Don't look down on people. Ma Hua said: "Although I don't know what this lawsuit is, it is always related to Yang Wulian, right?" โ
Song Genhai nodded and said, "Well, it's very likely." โ
"It's still yes, it's not bragging, when it comes to dealing with Yang Wulian, I'm afraid no one can catch up with me."
"Why do you say that?"
"Yang Wulian, what is the most capable person? It's not about corruption and bribery, nor is it about greeting bosses, but it's about engineering. It was precisely because of this ability that he became a young craftsman, and even almost became the prime minister. In the future, although he can't study, when it comes to the ability to learn, he is not under this Yang Wulian. Maybe...... Master Cui is so good that I can use it like this? โ
Really?
Considering that MCA had arranged the plank road project in Sanmenxia properly, everyone secretly thought about it, I was afraid that this thing was really possible, so they nodded and agreed.
So, everyone took the horses, fell closely behind the Wuzhuang team, and returned to Chang'an City in three days.
Looking at the long queue at the city gate, Feng Changqing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Those who enter the city are the same as usual, but those who go out of the city are strictly checked. This situation is likely to be related to the adult's case, and the situation is not good! โ
Zhou Xing shook his head slightly and said, "That's not necessarily." โ
"Well, what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Xingdao: "The soldier's door search is either to search people or things. With our identity, what property can be suspected of him if he is lost? Even if someone close to us adults kills the emperor's relatives and relatives, they can't even connect him! Therefore, this matter should have little to do with us. โ
"Ghost Zhou, you are smart for a lifetime, this time it is really a mistake." At that moment, a voice sounded beside them.
"Who?"
The two turned their heads to look, but Cui Xiufang didn't know when she arrived, and stood aside with a solemn face.
"See Madame!" The crowd hastened to salute.
"Get up." Cui Xiufang said straight to the point: "Originally, we should have let everyone rest for a while and then discuss countermeasures, but now that the situation is urgent, I can't take care of it so much." โ
Feng Changqing said: "I can't wait, but I don't know what kind of case Master Cui committed?" โ
Cui Xiufang sighed and said, "In the palace, there was a person who was lost, but what happened was that she was taken away by the eunuch who stayed in Chang'an. โ
Zhou Xing understood in an instant, and his heart was shocked: "At the beginning, Lord Cui was responsible for screening the eunuchs and palace maids who stayed in Chang'an and released them all. Unexpectedly, they would take revenge, but this time the adults jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. โ
Feng Changqing said anxiously: "Let's not talk about those useless people, who are the people who are lost in the palace?" โ
