Approaching the Shili Pavilion, Chu Huan's horse slowed down, and saw Wei Tianqing from a distance, Wei Tianqing also looked over here, at this time, a soldier had already stepped forward to hold Chu Huan's horse, Chu Huan turned over and dismounted, straightened his armor, and when he arrived at Wei Tianqing's side, he arched his hand, Wei Tianqing had already smiled and whispered: "I know that the Su family is busy with the selection of imperial wine for a while, and you have a lot of things over there, so our brothers don't get together much." It's just that someone from Beijing came today, so let you come! ”

Chu Huan nodded yes, and swept around, the soldiers were clearly armored, the flags fluttered in the cold wind, and dozens of officials were waiting inside and outside the Shili Pavilion.

Chu Huan felt strange in his heart, the selection of imperial wine was presided over by the officials of Guanglu Temple in Beijing, and Jingzhong would send a young secretary of Guanglu Temple to preside over this grand ceremony.

Guanglu Temple is one of the six temples in Beijing, responsible for the emperor's food tabernacle, this imperial wine is also in the list of meals and accommodation, so Guanglu Temple is in charge, Chu Huan understands in his heart that Guanglu Temple is not a powerful yamen, and a Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, in fact, is not a great official, at least when he comes to the place, he does not need to work at all A governor of the feudal officials personally went out of the city to greet him.

Although Chu Huan was still some distance away from the Shili Pavilion, he could clearly see that almost all the important officials of Yunshan Mansion came to greet him, and in the crowd, he also saw a figure who made him very disgusted.

Liu Juguang, president of the Yunshan Mansion Chamber of Commerce, was wearing a black cotton robe at this time, and was also in the crowd, talking to the officials next to him, although he was nearly seventy years old, he looked like a person in his fifties, his spirit was still very healthy, and he didn't look old at all.

Chu Huan frowned at first, not knowing why he followed, but soon remembered that in addition to the identity of the president of the Yunshan Mansion Chamber of Commerce, this person also had another identity, he was the Guanglu doctor of the emperor's seal, and he was a meritorious person, and he came to greet him, which was understandable.

It's just that the governor of Yunshan Mansion, the commander and other important officials all came, and even Doctor Guanglu was not afraid to greet him, Chu Huan faintly felt that the people who came from Beijing this time were not simple.

Wei Tianqing motioned for Chu Huan to go to a secluded place next to him, and then lowered his voice and said, "Over there in Tongzhou, Shenyi Wei Sun Baihu went again and made a special trip to investigate Duan Xun's situation. ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "Over there in Tongzhou, I don't know if the road has been blocked." If the search is done in a timely manner, it may not be impossible to find the weapons hidden by the bandits in Heishui Mountain. ”

Wei Tianqing nodded and said: "Zhao Guangqing has sent people to block the large and small checkpoints in Tongzhou, and has sent additional people to search within a hundred miles around Heishui Mountain, and even sent people to search for Duan Xun's whereabouts, but no progress has been made yet, and Sun Baihu has also been there for a while, but there is no news yet." ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, frowned, thoughtfully, seemed to want to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything, Wei Tianqing looked at his expression, knew that he had something to say, and asked, "Brother Chu, do you have anything to say?" ”

Chu Huan groaned slightly, then shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just my cranky thoughts." He asked: "Brother Wei, listen to Captain Liu, someone from Beijing, let's wait for ...... here!" He smiled and said, "But I don't know what kind of noble person is waiting for, even the Governor personally greeted him!" ”

Wei Tianqing said softly: "In this imperial wine selection, Shen Jing, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, is the presiding official, but the Governor is not here to greet him!" ”

"Oh?"

"Have you heard of Xu Congyang's reputation as a scholar?" Wei Tianqing said in a low voice: "As far as I know, Scholar Xu also came from Beijing this time, and the Governor came out this time to greet Scholar Xu!" ”

"Brother Wei, who are you talking about?" Chu Huan frowned, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Xu Congyang, Xu University." Wei Tianqing's voice was extremely soft, but full of respect: "He is a great figure in the court today, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, a scholar in front of the palace, and can participate in the discussion of Zhongshu Province." ”

Chu Huan had already remembered at this time that when he and Li Fuzi first arrived in the county seat, they invited Han Yuan to dinner at Yipinxiang, when Li Fuzi saw a poem and painting, he said that someone had copied Xu Congyang's forgery, and he admired Xu Congyang very much in his words.

Could it be that this Xu Congyang who came here today is the one in Master Li's mouth?

Seeing what Chu Huan seemed to think, Wei Tianqing thought that Chu Huan had not heard of Xu Congyang's reputation, and explained in a low voice: "Xu Congyang was born in our Yunshan Mansion, when the princes of the world were in dispute, Xu University took refuge in several princes, and finally followed the current saint to give advice to the saint, and the saint can dominate the four seas and set the world, and the scholar Xu is a great contribution." He said with a smile: "Xu University's Danqing wonderful pen, that is famous all over the world, the Governor has a painting of Xu University's master, which has always been regarded as a treasure collection!" ”

Chu Huan let out an "oh", as if he had thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "This Shen Jing Shen Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, did he preside over the selection of our imperial wine in Xishan Road five years ago?" ”

Wei Tianqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, five years ago, it seemed that this Shen Jing was also hosting...... Five years have passed, and I can't imagine that this person is still in the position of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple! ”

Chu Huan's heart sank.

In advance, he talked to Linlang about the officials who presided over the selection of imperial wine this year, and they all felt that five years had passed, and the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple had probably been promoted or transferred, and it should not be him who would preside over it again, if it was replaced by other officials, then the chances of winning the showdown with the Fang family might be one or two percent more, but he never imagined that in the past five years, it was still that Shen Shaoqing who came to preside, and God seemed to be going to make a big joke with He Shengquan.

At this moment, Chu Huan felt that something was obviously wrong.

Wei Tianqing saw Chu Huan frowning, but he also understood Chu Huan's thoughts, and said softly: "Brother Chu, are you worried about He Shengquan?" ”

Chu Huan thought about it and nodded slightly.

Wei Tianqing said softly: "These things, Lord Governor is not easy to get involved. The selection of imperial wine has always been presided over by officials of Guanglu Temple, and local officials cannot interfere with ......! After a pause, he said softly: "But you don't have to worry, I have also drunk the bamboo sake of Shengquan, it is definitely a first-class wine, and the Su family may not have no chance." He lowered his voice and said: "And this time Scholar Xu came together, Shen Jing may not dare to come nonsense, you don't know, this Scholar Xu, that is also a good drinker!" ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said softly: "Scholar Xu has a noble status, he came here this time, I'm afraid he didn't come here to taste wine!" ”

Wei Tianqing was stunned for a moment, then looked solemn, and said in a low voice: "This reminded me." Scholar Xu has an upright temperament, and he is well-known for his integrity and honesty in the imperial court, if there is no major incident, I am afraid that he will not come all the way to Yunshan Mansion. ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard, and everyone followed the voice, only to see two fast horses galloping from the official road, and immediately the rider turned over and dismounted at the side of the Ten Mile Pavilion, and said: "My lord, the convoy is only ten miles away, and it is coming here!" ”

Qiao Mingtang had already grown up, and all the officials were also solemn, Qiao Mingtang walked out of the pavilion, looked at the official road ahead, and vaguely saw a flag appear on the horizon in the distance at dusk.

"Line up, get ready to meet!" Qiao Mingtang immediately commanded.

Dozens of officials hurriedly lined up on the left and right, standing beside the road, and soon, they saw a convoy coming from the official road from a distance, and suddenly a group of cavalry flew out of the convoy.

The horses flew like flies, and in just a moment, the pair of cavalry has come close, and people have seen that there are five horsemen who came, all of them are wearing purple coats, wearing purple square hats, and wearing knives around their waists, but there are flowing clouds fluttering on the scabbards, and the officials immediately know that these five horsemen are all people of the gods.

When the boots on the feet of the first person were purple, and the others were green, the person who knew the preparation of the divine clothes and guards immediately knew that this was the first person who was a hundred households of the god clothes guards.

Shenyiwei is directly controlled by the emperor and does not fall under the jurisdiction of any yamen, and Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province have no right to interfere in the affairs of Shenyiwei.

In addition to the guards who directly control them, the subordinate organizations have strict hierarchical divisions, according to the five colors of red, purple, blue, green, and white, and the boots of five colors represent five levels, red thousand households, and purple hundred households.

Some people say that it is only a few hundred people, but each of them is an elite selected through layers of selection, even if it is a white guard, it is also a strong person who is a ten, and some people say that there are thousands of people in the Shenyi Guard, but it is divided into internal and external establishments, and the internal establishment belongs to the personnel of the Shenyi Guard, which are all strictly selected, and another group is a peripheral establishment, which is numerous and distributed in all corners of the Sixteen Dao of Daqin, became the eyes and ears of the emperor all over Daqin, and the information collected by these eyes and ears was only responsible to the emperor.

But no one can say what the Shenyi Guard is, but some officials know that there are four thousand households in the Shenyi Guard, twelve hundred households, and the four thousand households are all amazing talents, and the twelve hundred households are all first-class talents, each of which is a powerful character in his own right.

These gods and guards galloped over, stopped their horses, swept left and right, everyone was looking at them like electricity, although most of them were local dignitaries, but in the eyes of these gods, they seemed to be just ordinary people, these five people glanced at it, and without saying much, they turned the horse's head and went back.

The officials looked at each other, in fact, although most of the people present were important officials, but there were only a handful of people who had really had contact with the Shenyiwei, and even many officials only heard his name but did not see him, and the people who saw the Shenyiwei today were so arrogant and indifferent, and many officials had frowned, but they were helpless.

This is a group of ghosts between earth and hell, and no one dares to offend them.
