Chapter Seventy-Three: Becoming a Tang Dynasty Civil Servant
When Qu Tutong boarded the carriage, he still sighed in his heart. Since last year, he has not been able to ride a horse again, and even if he is helped on a horse, he is no longer able to pull the reins and drive the war horse. But then, this moment of sorrow was picked up by Qu Tutong, and the battle array rushed to kill a lifetime of people, that is to say, it is not an exaggeration to say that killing people is like hemp, the brothers on the battle array have been killed and injured countless times, and now that they are old, they can still find a talent and solve a big problem in the army, which is no regret. It seems that he is really old, and these civil officials no longer take themselves as an old man. There is no long history of a single rank, so he dared to run rampant, and now he has arrested the person who solved the problem in the army, is it really that the old man is powerless to take care of this Luoyang matter anymore? It just so happened that the chamberlain in the palace had just arrived in Luoyang today and brought His Majesty's reward, so I want to see what kind of expression that Changshi will look like at that time!
didn't go directly to the prison, but took the chamberlain straight to the Assassin's Mansion, Changshi is the adjutant of the Luozhou Assassin's Mansion, helping the Assassin to deal with things, and he must be able to find him in the Assassin's Mansion.
A group of pro-soldiers escorted around the carriage, the horses' hooves clanged, and these pro-soldiers were all nailed to their horseshoes on their horses. When everyone arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, a group of personal soldiers came and immediately stood in two columns in front of the door. The sound of horses' hooves and armor alarmed the little men guarding the door inside, and when they opened a crack in the door, they saw two columns of sergeants wearing armor and pressing the hilts of their swords, standing on both sides of the door with murderous spirits.
Qu Tutong didn't go in, but was helped out of the carriage by his own soldiers and stood outside the gate of the Thorn Mansion. These civil officials, the old man doesn't want to deal with you, is it really when the old man is blind and deaf and can't see anything and can't do it? This time, I will be a little more arrogant, so that you will remember that the old man was killed from the army, and remember the majesty of the old man!
Qu Tutong smiled and looked at the Thorn Shi Mansion with cold eyes, and after a while, he heard the heavy door squeak, and then a group of people lined up from inside, and hurriedly walked to him under the leadership of the Luo Zhou Thorn Shi.
"The lower officials visited Jiang Guogong, I don't know what Jiang Gong's instructions are here?" Thorn Shi came out and bowed forward and asked.
Qu Tutong didn't look at him, just walked past him in one step, raised his hand, pointed to the long history behind him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Take it!" ”
"No!" A group of sergeants shouted the order, rushed over and pressed the long history to the ground with three or two strokes.
"Jiang Guogong! Why take me?! That Changshi didn't know what was going on, and before he could react, he was pressed to the ground by the sergeant, and shouted at Qu Tutong while struggling with a frightened face, and seeing that Qu Tutong didn't react, he shouted at the assassin again: "My lord! Adults save me! Adults save me......"
The crowd all stood there stunned, not knowing what had happened, and they didn't know what this long history had done, but the old general, who had made a name for himself, came over with his own soldiers and arrested him. Thorn Shi was also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute to Qu Tutong, and asked: "Please also ask Jiang Gong to make it clear, this person is my staff, Ren Luo Governor Shi, he is very careful in handling things, this Luoyang City has been stabilized, this person has a lot of credit, why did Jiang Guogong lead troops to arrest him?" ”
"The old man takes someone, and he still needs to explain the reason to you?" Qu Tutong glanced at the assassin Shi with cold eyes, in the end, it was a general who fought in front of the ten thousand armies, killing countless people, this cold gaze made the assassin Shi suddenly cold, and a chill immediately appeared on the reserve.
However, it is also a continent assassin history, although he was a little frightened in the face of Qu Tutong, he still asked Shi Li: "And this person is the governor of the Assassin History, if Jiang Guogong wants to take him, please give the lower official a reason, the lower official is the assassin of Luozhou, he should know what the adjutant has done wrong, and please Jiang Guogong make it clear!" ”
"Hmph, without him, Lord Thorn Shi thinks too much, the old man just asks this Lord Changshi to lead the way and go to the prison." Qu Tutong sneered: "If Lord Assassin Shi has time, it is okay to go with him." ”
"That being the case, then the lower official will also go with the boss." Thorn Shi gave Qu Tutong a salute, and then turned around and shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”
Soon, someone led the horse out, Qu Tutong had already gotten into the carriage, and the long history was also escorted by the sergeant and passed to the prison.
When they arrived at the prison, everyone dismounted and came forward, and Qu Tutong got down from the carriage first, and then ordered a person to jump off the carriage. This outfit ...... The moment Thorn Shi saw that person, his eyes froze, and he suddenly felt bad. This is the chamberlain of the palace! Why is the chamberlain here? Majesty will definitely not appear outside the palace now, but there is no need to worry about His Majesty coming in person, in addition to this, the most likely thing for the inner servant to appear here is to convey the will. It's just that why did you come to this prison to convey your will, and you still have to take Zhao Changshi? There was a faint hint of uneasiness in the heart of the Luozhou Thorn Shi.
The governor of Luozhou, Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong, and Luozhou Assassin Shi appeared in the prison together, which frightened those errand soldiers, and they all hurriedly ran out to greet them, and they all saw that the sergeant actually escorted Changshi in, and they were all shocked.
"Old man, let me ask you, has anyone ever been thrown into prison today?" Qu Tutongzhen glanced sideways at the errand officer next to him, and opened his mouth to ask.
"This ......" the messenger looked at the assassin with some hesitation, and then looked at Zhao Changshi.
The appearance of the errand servant, Thorn Shi chuckled in his heart, and the secret way was not good, so he immediately took a step forward and slapped the errand officer in the face: "Why don't you answer truthfully quickly?!" ”
"Yes! Spare your life! The messenger hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and said in his mouth: "The guards of Zhao Changshi's family brought a person, saying that it was disrespectful to Zhao Gongzi, and he wanted the small one to die inside!" ”
"What?!" Zhao Changshi, who was escorted by two sergeants, was suddenly shocked, and said in a lost voice: "Jiang Guogong, Lord Assassin Shi, the officials really don't know about this matter, they really don't know!" …… It must be ......"
"Shut up!" Thorn Shi was also pale at the moment, and shouted angrily at Zhao Changshi. This Changshi did not discipline his son effectively, and at this time, he actually arrested Jiang Guogong's people, and Jiang Guogong found them, and he also affected himself, teaching the assassin how to have a good face.
"Bang!" With a bang, I saw Qu Tutong slam his fist on the railing of the prison, with an angry face: "That's right!" cough cough cough ......"
"Jiang Guogong is angry!" The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and gently patted Qu Tutong's back with his hand to help him calm down.
After a long while, Qu Tutong calmed down, nodded at the waiter, and said, "Thank you for this waiter." ”
"Don't dare to be, please ask Jiang Guogong to calm the anger of the thunder, take care of your health." The chamberlain didn't dare to make a mistake in front of a prince with outstanding military achievements, so he hurriedly said.
Qu Tutong turned his head and looked at the officer, who knelt on the ground in fright, trembling all over his body, but heard Qu Tutong say, "Take the old man over." ”
The messenger hurriedly got up and led everyone to the front of a cell, Qu Tu led to the inside to take a look, the person who was sleeping with his head in his arms was not the Xia Hongsheng who offered the horse's palm method!
"Zhao Changshi, do you know this son?" Qu Tutong turned his head and asked Zhao Changshi coldly.
"This ...... The lower officials don't know, the lower officials really don't know about this matter, and they also invite a lot of Jiang Guogong, and the lower officials must strictly discipline the dogs when they go back, and ask the general for the guilt...... "Zhao Changshi knows what kind of virtue his son is, he is old and has a son, and he has daughters in front of him, so he loves this son very much, although he has said a few words on weekdays, but in the end he is still reluctant to discipline him strictly, but now he has provoked the head of a national prince, and he is afraid that there will be more than one auspicious."
"Ask the old man for the guilt? Zhao Changshi, did you misunderstand? Qu Tutong glanced at the long history coldly, and then turned his head to look at the waiter: "This waiter, you came to sue Zhao Changshi, who should he blame for the crime?" ”
After saying that, Qu Tutong turned his head and shouted violently into the cell: "Stinky boy, don't you get up to take the order?!" ”
Inside the cell, Xia Hongsheng jumped up with a carp, looked outside, and immediately laughed, and said, "The little nephew meets Uncle Qu Tu and meets a few adults." ”
"Why don't you take the order soon?" Qu Tutong snorted again.
Xia Hongsheng honestly arched his hands and bent down deeply, Qu Tutong also stood sideways, and saw the chamberlain take out a silk yellow scarf from his arms and unfold it, cough lightly, and read: "The edict of the Tang Emperor said; Today, there are people surnamed Xia Minghongsheng Jingshi in Luanzhou City, Luozhou Prefecture, who has been adhering to the good letter since childhood, young and promising, talented, and famous in Los Angeles......"
The waiter read another tea time, at the beginning of Xia Hongsheng still listened attentively to understand a few words, and there was no patience in the back, a quasi-praise words, dedicated the art of salt making, for the benefit of the people, and dedicated the method of horseshoe for the benefit of the army, I am very happy in my heart, reward you, and continue to work hard for the Tang Dynasty in the future...... A whole lot of things like that...... Tell me what you've rewarded! Hearing the back, it's finally time to reward, listen carefully, huh? What about money? What about cattle and sheep? What about silk? If there is no gold and a hundred taels of silver, it is okay, even if the silver is not very circulating, then you can have a few thousand copper coins! What's going on with only one man from Jingyang County? Is this a civil servant? What a position, it's bad, I don't know much about the ancient official position!
After the waiter finished reading, Xia Hongsheng bowed three times and bowed nine times and then took over the holy decree, as for that Zhao Changshi, he had already fallen to the ground and foamed at the mouth when he finished reading the holy decree just now.
After the chamberlain finished reciting the holy decree, he immediately put on a smiling face and bowed his hand again and again, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, he is a baron at the age of thirteen, he is second to none in my dynasty, he will be able to make contributions one day, and he will be able to make great achievements and make steady progress!" ”
The words are so good, Xia Hongsheng knows that this chamberlain is asking for money, isn't it all like this in costume TV series. Xia Hongsheng touched all over his body, but he didn't find anything, and the only more than half of the money in his pocket was snatched away by the dumb guard. was embarrassed, Qu Tutong had already seen Xia Hongsheng's embarrassment, so he said to the waiter: "I'm tired of this waiter running thousands of miles, how can I let the waiter go home empty-handed when I get this good news?" And go back to the house with the old man, set up a banquet, and have his own respect, and I hope that this servant will not be disliked. ”
Conveying the holy decree, it is a good thing to give happy money, this is the custom, and the waiter does not shirk, but just smiles and salutes: "The slave and maid have thanked the Duke and Lord Jiang for their reward!" ”
Sir? Hey, sir! Why does it sound so emotional!
Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, this is an official?!
