Chapter 949 Chapter 949: The second brother-in-law is here [asking for monthly votes]

Xun Zhen and Jiang Sheng have also been friends for many years.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how much the two of them argue, they will end it. After all, the quarrel is too ugly and affects official business. It is not possible to cause Jiang Sheng to bleed in a private gathering. But what Jiang Sheng said just now hit Xun Zhen’s weakness. He was most taboo about involving his family.

Even if his son is indeed incapable of success and has poor brains, why would he and his dead wife be the only ones there? It’s okay to say a few words of disdain, but Jiang Sheng’s crow’s mouth can’t do that.

This guy’s scribe’s way can really tell the difference between good and bad!

 “Don’t fight, don’t fight—”

　　　“Who is pulling my back?”

 “Don’t push forward, everyone should retreat! Retreat! Retreat!”

“Well, you shameless bastard, you took the opportunity to sneak attack on me and avenge yourself, so I caught you!” Some people tried their best to stop the fight with their hoarse voices, some fished in troubled waters for revenge, and some were pushed forward by people who were joining in the fun behind them, and their official hats and robes were all messed up. .

“The postal post belongs to the Ministry of War, so don’t rob it from the Ministry of Household Affairs!”

“The ones we beat are the evil-hearted people from the Ministry of Hu Bu. Do you think the bacon given to the canteen of the Ministry of Rites last year smells bad?”

 “Who took off my pants!”

 Those who roll up their sleeves to stop a fight, those who start a fight;

 Those who take off their shoes and hit people, or slap people in the face;

 The spit star washes people’s faces at close range…

While showing off their military virtues, all the officials started to clear up old scores, including but not limited to salary delays, salary shortages, poor quality, malicious rejection of leave requests, borrowing money and not returning it on time, and agreeing to go out for drinks and dinner together. As a result, I escaped from the order…

At first, some officials tried to break up the fight, but after being accidentally injured many times, they angrily tucked up the hem of their clothes, raised their feet and kicked the plump buttocks of the person who was accidentally injured. This group fight caused all the generals to retreat for fear of being injured by flying objects from time to time.

 The battle ended with everyone playing “fifty big boards”.

 The Ministry of War relied on unity and friendship to protect the post office.

Xun Zhen and Hu Bu’s plans were temporarily in vain.

  Shen Tang: “…”

Is her court meeting going to some kind of wet market?

 After the fight, the officials still bowed their heads without raising their heads, but the atmosphere seemed more tense than before, and there was a tendency for a second outbreak at any time. Shen Tang rubbed his throbbing temples with a headache. He didn’t dare to think that these people were actually his ministers – which fool had the pancakes in his sleeves? The pancakes flew out! Some of them actually have eggs hidden in their sleeves.

 Having these ministers is really a blessing to the state of Kang!

 The chaotic court meeting was over. Shen Tang left Dingding. Her ears were still buzzing. She ordered someone to summon Jiang Sheng.

 When Jiang Sheng came, there were still scratches on his face.

But there was a winner’s smile on his face.

 “Have seen the Lord.”

Shen Tang took a deep breath: “You just said in court that there would be a **** disaster in Hanzhang’s house. What did you mean?”

Even Shen Tang felt that this was inappropriate.

Who among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not know that there was a happy event in Xun Zhen’s house?

If you ignore the fact that she was pregnant before marriage, it should be regarded as a double happiness. A few days ago, Xun Zhen even asked her privately if she wanted to attend the ceremony. Shen Tang is willing to go over or reward newcomers, which is a supreme honor, and it is also proof that Xun Zhen and his son are deeply favored by the king.

 Having been a minister for many years, she is naturally willing to give him this dignity.

It is unlucky to have a **** disaster at this time.

Especially if it falls on this new couple, it would be even more inappropriate, but Shen Tang knows Jiang Sheng, and his words will not be wrong. He said that if there was a **** disaster in Xunzhen’s house, something would definitely happen. I just don’t know whose head this prophecy will eventually come true.

 Jiang Shengdao: “Looking at the situation, it shouldn’t be serious.”

Shen Tang asked again: “Is it Alai who is in trouble?”

Gong Xilai is twin now. If something happens to her, she will probably have a miscarriage. Do you want to send a few people from the medical department to watch over her? Gong Xiqiu entrusted this sister to him so that nothing could happen to her.

 Just after finishing speaking, word spread outside that Xun Zhen asked for an audience.

 The two ministers looked at each other with a bit of a bad look on their faces.

It was related to his friend’s house, and Jiang Sheng did not hide anything because of the fight in the court, but his anger was still lingering, so his title had a bit of a yin and yang character: “It was the palace of Xun Shangshu’s children that was darkened, and the **** disaster came true on his son’s head. After all, he is a courageous warrior with strong strength and cultivation, and the injuries to his muscles and bones are not fatal.”

Xun Zhen heard this and cupped her hands: “Thank you very much.”

Jiang Sheng snorted and didn’t like to talk about it.

 

Hearing that Xun Ding would break his muscles and bones, Shen Tang didn’t care. A brave warrior has rough skin and thick flesh, not to mention that there are dozens of Xinglin doctors in the medical department who have explored the method of regenerating amputated limbs on livestock. Yan Ling, for example, the imperial physician Ling Dong Dao, together with six Xinglin doctors last month, helped twelve veterans with mild disabilities recover to their full potential. These soldiers lost their fingers, arms, ears, or eyes during the war. It is said that the new parts are exactly the same as the original ones.

As long as Xun Ding is not dead, everything else is a trivial matter.

Shen Tang thinks so, and Xun Zhen thinks so too.

The emperor and his ministers all thought that Xun Ding’s **** disaster this time was either caused by him accidentally falling to the ground or something, or he was accidentally injured while sparring with others. To their surprise, they only guessed a quarter correctly. It was indeed an injury caused by sparring, but it was not an accidental injury.

 This matter also starts with a report from Zhechong Mansion.

Attendant Ning Yan hurriedly asked to see him.

Shen Tang saw that she looked nervous and thought something big had happened.

 “Lord, please look.”

Shen Tang became even more confused when he saw the cover of the memorial.

 In order to improve efficiency, she stipulated that the contents of the memorials should be distinguished by different colors of covers and stamps according to their importance.

The things sent to Shen Tang are basically very important. She only responds to those who have less work to do and are in a better mood. In general, I leave it to others to help reply. Documents sent from various places must also be copied according to the process, leaving two backup copies. The one Ning Yan sent is one of the backups. Look at the stamp, but the content is not important.

 At this level, I don’t know how much I receive in a year.

It’s not worth Ning Yan’s personal trip.

 But Shen Tang knew better that Ning Yan would not take aim without aim.

Out of curiosity, she opened the letter sent from Zhechong Mansion and read the ten lines at a glance – no, when she saw the second line, her eyes couldn’t move. She stared at the three characters “Gong Xiqiu” on the top, not sure, so she went down.

 “When did Gong Xiqiu come back?”

 After speaking, she was startled for a moment.

 It is normal for Gong Xiqiu to come back at this juncture.

His sister is about to get married. It makes no sense that Gong Xiqiu would not be present, and Xun Ding would not be so bold as not to notify her. If you make Gong Xichou angry, they don’t care where you are as a general. Carrying a halberd will make him feel cold.

Shen Tang muttered: “Come back for the wedding…”

Then he whispered: “It’s been several years, and I don’t know if his brother and nephew have been found. Seeing that the situation with Bei Mo is tense, if Gong Xiqiu can come back, the pressure will be much less – pfft, what about Gong Xiqiu? Did you start a fight with Gong Cheng?”

 Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva when he saw the back.

The information reported to Zhe Chong’s house said that on a certain day in a certain month, the figure of the general Gong Xiqiu was found near a post station. The enemy was strong, but Gong Xiqiu was defeated and seriously injured. The content also described in detail Gong Xiqiu’s courage totem. The miserable appearance of being tortured.

Shen Tang was worried about losing his patience.

 She jumped directly to the end of the memorial and was relieved to see Gong Xiqiu being rescued by a group of rangers. Knowing that Gong Xiqiu was not in danger, Shen Tang drank water and counted back the time. Looking at the northwest continent, the only one who could threaten Gong Xiqiu and beat him so miserably was Gong Cheng. The time when Gong Cheng appeared was also consistent with the time mentioned in the memorial. Think again about Gong Cheng being ordered to kill the Gongxi clan.

 The enemy of Gong Xiqiu on that day was him and he did not escape.

Shen Tang looked at the time of the memorial and the copying time again, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: “What should Zhe Chong Mansion do?”

Such an important memorial was only delivered yesterday?

If the official who copied the memorial had not discovered that the memorial mentioned Gong Xiqiu and alerted Ning Yan, Shen Tang would not have seen it yet.

Ning Yan said: “The person who reported it was Zhe Chong Mansion of Jinli County.”

  Shen Tang: “…”

 All counties in Kunzhou, including Jinli County, were purged by Shen Tang. Zhechong Mansion in Jinli County saw the most movement and the most personnel changes. During that period of chaos, it was not easy for the Zhechong Mansion to send information, so it was normal for the efficiency to be lower.

  She breathed out a breath: “But Gong Xiqiu didn’t come.”

Gong Xiqiu and Gong Cheng fought in the mountains of Guandao on the border of Jinli County, and Shen Tang lived in Jinli County during that time.

　　Why didn’t Gong Xiqiu come to see her after so many days?

 Could it be that Gong Cheng injured him to a vital point and couldn’t get up?

 Shen Tang couldn’t help but worry about Gong Xiqiu’s injury.

Ning Yan suddenly said: “Perhaps he went to Fengluo? He came back at this time, probably to attend the wedding. The Lord led hundreds of officials to inspect the royal court and investigate the case, and the people did not know about it. Gongxi Qiu naturally I didn’t know you were nearby at that time.”

  Shen Tang: “…Well, I ignored this.”

Suddenly, she felt so blessed that she looked up at Ning Yan, slapped the table and said, “No, Gong Xiqiu is going to the capital of Fengluo?”

Ning Yan didn’t know why her reaction was so big.

　　 said: “This is just Wei Chen’s guess.”

Shen Tang held the table with one hand, jumped out coolly, and shouted urgently: “It’s over, where is Hanzhang now?”

With Gongxi Qiu’s mind, he wouldn’t mind if his sister got pregnant before marriage. After all, the women of the Gongxi tribe are very keen on leaving their fathers and keeping their children. Although Gongxi Lai is not an orthodox Gongxi tribesman, she and Gongxi Xiqiu has been together for many years, and has absorbed some of the essence. Otherwise, it would not have been delayed to this age – but Gong Xiqiu will definitely mind getting married under the premise of getting pregnant before marriage! When he met Xun Ding, he didn’t beat him to death!

Shen Tang understands what happened to the “bloody disaster” mentioned by Jiang Sheng. It fell into the hands of Gong Xiqiu, so Xun Ding didn’t think about it.

 At that time, Wang Ting was already on his way back.

The time wasted in Kunzhou was a bit longer than expected. Shen Tang and the heads of the three provinces and six departments should not be away for too long. This resulted in no time to inspect other places in Kang State. When Shen Tang received the news, he was only two days away from the capital.

Xun Zhen was startled when she saw the lord of the country rushing over.

 “Do you have anything important to say, Lord?”

Shen Tang asked: “When is Yong’an’s wedding date?”

A smile appeared on Xun Zhen’s face: “Three days later.”

The time is just right.

 Go back and rest for a day to see your son get married.

Shen Tang looked solemn: “We have to rush back as soon as possible. Order, speed up and rush back, shortening it to one day.”

Xun Zhen didn’t know why: “Why is this?”

 Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

 Could it be a mutiny in the royal capital?

 No way, who can do it if the king is left behind?

Shen Tang shouted: “Gong Xiqiu is back!”

 Voiceover, your son is going to be beaten!

　　Xunzhen: “…”

 The officials who were stopping and walking were suddenly forced to speed up. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to speed up. With the addition of those words and spirits, even the bastard’s short legs can make smoke. The closer we get to the royal capital, the more people there are on the official road. Many people saw a group of hundreds of people rushing past with the light of the word spirit on this day, and the speed far exceeded the prescribed limit. If it wasn’t for the team flag, he would have been stopped and given a ticket.

 The royal capital, Fengluo.

The city walls are high, the buildings are majestic, and the city is bustling with traffic.

　At this moment, night falls.

Thousands of lights and fires reflected the blue clouds in the sky, and the tall buildings were filled with people’s voices. There are many shops on both sides of the road, with a dazzling array of goods. People on the street have different faces, ranging from old men and women in their sixties and seventies to young children of five and six years old. Young men and women walk together without hesitation. The atmosphere here is open, women dress boldly and passionately, and their makeup is exquisite and gorgeous.

From time to time, you can still see many people dressed in smart clothes. Although they don’t have graceful figures, they are all tall, and their wristbands clearly outline the lines of their arms. However, these are not the important points. The important point is that if you look around, there are few common people wearing patched clothes.

Not only are the clothes clean, but the complexion is also healthy.

 This is very different from what Fang Yan has seen in various places.

 “It’s fair for Shen Jun to win.”

After many years of separation, Fang Yan still felt regretful when mentioning the past, but then he thought about it, and realized that this was also his eldest brother’s lifelong wish. This wish can be fulfilled in the hands of Shen Jun, and the eldest brother Quan Xia is also pleased to know that at least he has not made the wrong friends or the wrong people.

Shaochong had eaten until his cheeks were bulging.

Hands were filled with food bought along the road.

“Wow, wow, wow, Sixth Brother, come and see, isn’t this the specialty of Qiguo? And here, there is a sea here. It smells so fresh… Brother Twelve, will you allow me to eat two more skewers?” His stomach felt like a bottomless pit, but he would go into every restaurant he saw to buy something to try, whether it was baked, fried, boiled, steamed… sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.

Chao Lian and others persuaded Jimo Qiu without paying the bill.

Even though he has no money concept, he also knows that the gold, silver, and pearls in Jimo Qiu’s braid can be exchanged for good things.

“Don’t eat too much at night, it’s not good for your health.”

Chao Lian and Fang Yan couldn’t hold Shaochong back at all.

He said helplessly: “There will be plenty of opportunities to eat everything slowly in the future. Let’s find a place to stay tonight and be obedient.”

 Sishu Lin and Gong Xiqiu have already gone to inquire about the location of Gu Mansion.

 It’s just that Uncle Lin was the only one who came back.

 Fang Yan asked: “Where is he?”

Fourth Uncle Lin said: “I went to inquire about the location of Xun Mansion.”

Fang Yan’s mouth twitched.

“He doesn’t plan to knock on the door late at night, does he?”

Shu Lin was about to answer when he saw Gong Xiqiu coming back with a gloomy face, which surprised several others. Gong Xiqiu knew what they were thinking at a glance: “We can’t do anything in Fengluo.”

Mama knew about it, but she still didn’t tear him down.

 “Tomorrow, take him out of the city and beat him!”

 Fourth Uncle Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

 They were really afraid that Gong Xiqiu would cause trouble if he ignored them.
