Chapter 432: Nightfall
"Who is coming! This is the Yamen of Chang'an City, don't get off the horse quickly! ”
At the gate of the Yamen of Chang'an City, the two catchers pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife on their waists, and shouted at Mu Duan and Li Xiaobai, who were galloping on horseback.
Mu Duan and Li Xiaobai suddenly reined in their horses, and then turned over and dismounted at the same time. Immediately afterwards, Mu Duan took out Mu Xiaojiu's envoy waist card from his arms, and showed it, "I am Mu Duan, the attendant of the imperial court's envoy Mu Xiaojiu, this is Lord Mu's disciple, and I have come to Chang'an City to discuss important matters with you adults." ”
The two caught a quick glance at each other, and one of them stepped forward and looked at the waist card in Mu Xuan's hand. Now it has been a long time since Mu Xiaojiu was appointed as a special envoy, and Mu Xiaojiu, a special envoy, is also a person from the rivers and lakes, and he especially likes to run around, so now the officials of all sizes in the Central Plains have already had enough understanding of the new official position of "special envoy", and the style of the envoy token has already been announced.
Therefore, after looking at the token, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "It turned out to be the envoy's subordinates, the two of them entered lightly, and our adults were inside." ”
Mu Duan nodded, put away the envoy token, and walked towards the inside of the yamen.
The two of them worked the road, changed their horses again and again, and did not delay at all, mainly taking the line from Ankang to Chang'an, and they were too late to go to the other branches, but he also asked the people from the counties who had passed by before to inform them.
Chang'an is their last stop.
……
On the other side, the gate of the Yamen of Ankang City.
At this moment, the sun has completely sunk to the ground, and although the gate of the yamen has not yet closed, it is about to close. When Mu Xiaojiu arrived here, the gate was slowly closing.
Mu Xiaojiu naturally wouldn't watch the gate of the yamen close, so just as the gate was about to be closed, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the copper ring on one of the gates.
The catcher inside pulled hard twice, but found that the gate was not moving. Therefore, the catcher probe came out to take a look, but he saw Mu Xiaojiu's smiling face.
"I'm Mu Xiaojiu, the special envoy of the imperial court, tell that idiot Chu Yi to get out and see me."
Who is Chu Yi? Chu Yi is none other than the prefect of the Ankang City Mansion, that is, the parent official of the entire Ankang City. In the entire Ankang City, it is the most significant.
But Mu Xiaojiu was not stunned at all, from the perspective of official position alone, even if his status as an "envoy" was only a seven-rank rank, Chu Yi had to be polite and honest when facing him. If nothing else, just for him, Mu Xiaojiu is a neighbor around the emperor.
Speaking of which, looking at the gate is actually a technical job, especially in the yamen.
First of all, you have to learn to look at people and know who you can mess with and who you can't; Who should be treated politely, and who can be commanded to drink; What kind of person, what identity, if you can't see it, when you encounter bad luck, your head will have to move within three days.
Secondly, you must know what officials, ranks, and powers are there in the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty. Which officials like to run around, and which officials you want to please like a dog.
And this gatekeeper of the Ankang City Government has been doing it for seven years.
Seven years later, his head is still on his neck, and this person is obviously not an idiot. Therefore, even though Mu Xiaojiu said this very politely, he still did not open his mouth to scold, but first carefully went through the word "envoy" in his mind.
Then he remembered what the official position of the envoy was.
He didn't know whether the smiling young man in front of him was a real envoy or a fake envoy, so he knelt down on one knee without hesitation. The reason is simple, because if he does not kneel, and this young man is a real envoy, then he is dead; And now that he is on his knees, even if this young man is a fake envoy, then he will lose some face at most.
After all, there is nothing wrong with the safety point.
Mu Xiaojiu looked at this catcher and nodded slightly, "You Lord Chu, where are you now?" ”
Catching Kuai's eyelids jumped twice, and he said with some hesitation: "Our family ...... adults"
"Say, I promise you're okay. If you don't say it, I'll let you have an accident right now. Mu Xiaojiu still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were getting colder and colder.
Feeling the killing intent that escaped from Mu Xiaojiu's body slightly, Yu Kuai didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said directly: "Lord Qiyu, the prefect of Chu is now in the Yihong Pavilion. ”
"Close the door and take me to the Yihong Pavilion."
Caught up quickly, turned around and closed the door neatly, and then went directly to Mu Xiaojiu's side and pointed the way. Of course, in this process, he always lagged behind Mu Xiaojiu by half a position.
Speaking of which, the Yihong Pavilion is not far from the Ankang City Mansion, only two streets apart. In the case that Mu Xiaojiu was full of killing intent, he didn't dare to delay the time. Therefore, the two of them soon arrived at the Yihong Pavilion, which is the most luxurious green building in Ankang City.
"Yo, this is not ......" As soon as the old bustard at the door saw two people, his eyes immediately lit up and he greeted him. Originally, the bustard was going to be polite, but he was forced back by this quick look.
"Which room is Lord Chu in?" Seeing that the bustard stopped, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in a cold voice. While talking, at the same time, this catch quickly gave the bustard a look.
The meaning of this catch is obvious, naturally he wants to ask the old bustard to help hide the past, and just make up a reason to say that Chu Yi has left, and then take Mu Xiaojiu away. He didn't dare to lie, but the bustard could. However, before the old bustard could speak, Mu Xiaojiu had already walked into the Yihong Pavilion with his legs raised.
Seeing this, his eyes froze, and he immediately followed, but found that Mu Xiaojiu did not go to Tai Nei at all, but stood directly at the door, and shouted: "Chu Yi, get out!" ”
This sound can scare the three souls out of the body, and the seven spirits ascend to heaven. Not only because of the content of these words, but also because Mu Xiaojiu's roar used the kung fu of the roaring god book.
Mu Xiaojiu's roar naturally affected not only Chu Kuai and Chu Yi who was in the Yihong Pavilion, but even the old bustard in the Yihong Pavilion had not yet made a loud call, and some guests could not help but scold, "I-ah!" ”
As soon as the man scolded a syllable, Mu Xiaojiu had already pointed out, and a sword qi directly split the crown of the man's hair, and also brought down two locks of his hair.
"Next time, don't ask for your tongue."
The man stopped talking stupidly, but someone shouted again, "Relying on the martial arts of both hands, it is so powerful, it is the first time I have seen your grandfather Tian." ”
