Chapter 218: Absent from duty
Song Rui was interrupted by a wave of hands before he could finish his words. Worried about causing further resentment, he did not dare to say anything and hurriedly called Song Xi to move it.
Datou knew why he was anxious, so he walked closer and whispered, "Sir, don't worry. You will go back to the Yushitai later. I will go to the Yanbin Building to find out the situation and report to you right away."
With a gloomy face, he said, "You don't need to avoid people's eyes and ears when you arrive. You can directly interrogate them sternly. If you dare to hide in Yanbinlou, you will be arrested immediately."
Seeing such seriousness, Yu Yiduo on the side was confused, "Sir, is the owner of this iron rod a relative or friend of yours?"
Yu Yi and others were all his cronies and did not hide it, "They are my senior brothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the distance. Shi Xuanming heard the sound and guessed that Song Rui and Song Xi were having a hard time lifting it, so he followed the sound and walked over. After a while, he took back a strange stick.
Eight feet long spear.
The reason why it is called weird is because the barrel of this gun is different from the common black, red and white, but a strange dark green. In addition, the head of this gun is not a common flat shape, but a sharp triangular shape.
Spikes.
He had interrupted Song Rui before and did not allow the other party to tell the origin of this thing. Now seeing how strange this spear was, he looked at Song Rui who was following behind Shi Xuanming and asked, "Where does this spear come from?"
Song Rui knew he was in a hurry to leave, so he tried to be concise and concise, "This gun is called Green Shen, and it is the weapon used by Jiang Wei. It is said that the magic of this gun is that it can sense murderous intent and sound an alarm. But whether the rumors are true, we
Never verified.”
After nodding, he looked at Shi Xuanming, "Is it okay?"
"Very good." Shi Xuanming looked at the gun carefully.
He walked to the wooden cabinet on the far left and picked up the iron rod, then walked towards the warehouse door, "Let's go."
Seeing that the wooden box containing the Longwei Knife had not been taken away, Yu Yi took the wooden box and tucked it under his arm, and followed Yang Kai out of the warehouse.
Song Rui and Song Xi also quickly followed, turned around and said to them, "These things will be deducted from the account, so you don't have to be anxious. As long as I am here, Taiping Inn will be as usual."
.”
After hearing this, Song Rui and Song Xi hurriedly nodded in agreement and stood at the door of the warehouse to watch the others hurry downstairs.
Without concealing his anxiety, he got on his horse as soon as he got out of the inn. The iron bar weighed three hundred and sixty kilograms. The horse was suddenly burdened with heavy weight and could not help but swayed. Fortunately, the horses at Yushitai were all wild horses bought at high prices.
They are much stronger than horses from the Central Plains.
Shaking the reins and heading west, Yang Kai and the others mounted their horses to follow, while Da Tou rode his horse north and rushed to the Yanbin Tower.
After a while, the four people rushed back to the Censor's Stage. Yang Kai and others knew that there would be action next, so they followed him to the Censor's Hall.
Sitting upright and pondering, Yang Kai and the other three sat quietly in the hall, waiting for him to speak.
His mood at this time can only be described as anxious. It has been a month since the incident occurred, and he was very worried about Batulu's safety.
This iron rod is Batulu's weapon and his favorite. He always carries it with him. There is no way that the other party can steal the iron rod. They can take the iron rod to Chang'an and sell it, which means that Batulu has already
Lost freedom.
There is no need to delve into how Batulu was caught by the opponent, because Batulu has few strings in his mind and can easily be plotted by others.
Since he had been deceived by Long Haotian and others before, the first thing he thought about this time was whether the matter was a trap, but he gave up this concern after thinking for a while, because the incident happened a month ago and the time did not match.
Since they didn't come for him, it means that Qingyang's soldiers didn't know that Batulu was his senior brother. The reason why they captured Batulu was just to snatch his iron rod. The other party didn't know about the relationship between him and Batulu.
Relationship is both a good thing and a bad thing for Batulu. The advantage is that the other party will not pay too much attention to Batulu, because in the other party's view, Batulu has no use value. The disadvantage is that in the other party's view, Batulu has little use value.
There is no use value in coming to Batur, so it is very possible to poison him.
hand.
Compared with Chen Liqiu and others, I am more worried about Batulu, because Batulu has no scheming intentions, has been in troubled times, and is more likely to be deceived and suffer losses.
Suppressing his anxiety, he raised his head and looked at the three people in the hall, "Be prepared, we are likely to go to Qingyang."
Yang Kai and Shi Xuanming nodded. Yu Yi understood the situation better and said, "Sir, Qingyang is Yang Shouxin's sphere of influence. This person may not necessarily be blamed by the imperial court."
"I don't expect him to buy it either." He said coldly.
Yu Yi said again, "Sir, you are now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You have a high position and heavy official duties. It will take at least three days to go to Qingyang and back. The rumors cannot be suppressed. The courtiers left the city without authorization for more than 10 days.
To stop breaking the law, we have to find a reasonable reason." .??.
He said casually, "It's simple. Yang Shouxin is Yang Fugong's adopted son. We can say that we have received the news that Yang Fugong is hiding in Qingyang and may leave at any time. The situation is critical. We can only rush there to arrest him."
"Even if we are to apprehend the imperial criminal, you don't need to go out personally." Yu Yi shook his head.
"This person is very important to me, I must go." He said.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yu Yi stopped trying to persuade him, "Sir, it's easy to talk about the Yushitai, but the Ministry of Household Affairs is related to the people's livelihood in the world. Before leaving, you'd better go there and make arrangements."
"Well, I'll rush to the household department when the boss comes back." He stood up and said, "You guys wait for me here while I go to the backyard."
He returned after a moment and handed the Hanyue Sword he brought back to Yu Yi, then opened the wooden box on the table and took out the Longwei Sword inside.
Common single swords can be divided into two types, one is a thick-backed wide sword, and the other is a thin-backed narrow sword. The Hanyue Sword belongs to the latter, while the Longwei Sword is between a thick back and a thin back, and is better than the Hanyue Sword.
It's a little heavier, but not as heavy as a thick-backed broadsword.
The Longwei Sword has a scabbard. The scabbard must be the skin of some kind of animal. Because it is too old,
It has turned black, but the Taotie pattern on it is still vaguely visible. The handle of the knife is made of black jade, and the style is very clumsy, with dense grain patterns and embossed carvings. The handle is the head of the Taotie beast, with the Taotie's big mouth facing the blade.
Pulling the sword out of its sheath, you can see that the blade has no fancy patterns and no blood grooves. It is just a long knife between a wide knife and a narrow knife. At first glance, the blade is a little black, but when you look closely, it is not black. The blade is not black.
It is originally cyan, but there seems to be a scarlet blood lingering on the blade. The cyan mixed with red looks like black.
Holding the knife in his hand, he weighed the feeling and found that it was large but not workmanlike and of moderate weight. He had some doubts before Song Rui said that this knife was used by Bai Qi. Now he believed that what Song Rui said was true because it was indeed a killing knife.
The sword is full of evil spirit and full of violence.
After a brief examination, the sword was returned to its sheath and placed on the desk.
As soon as Yu knew it was a sincere gift, he no longer refused to refuse, stood up, and solemnly thanked him.
He waved his hand, sat down again, and waited anxiously.
After half a stick of incense, Da Tou returned in a hurry.
Seeing that although Datou was anxious, his expression was not solemn. He felt a little lighter and asked eagerly, "How is it?"
"We've all asked clearly," Datou said in a low voice, "Those people are indeed Yang Shouxin's subordinates, coming from Qingyang. The waiters at the Yanbin Building also heard the soldiers chatting and talking when they were carrying drinks that day.
It sounds like your senior’s senior brother is not in danger of his life.”
"How do you say that?" he asked.
"That day, a soldier said, 'That reckless man is very powerful. If we had brought him here, he would have done all the work by himself.'" Datou said.
Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, then left his seat and stood up, "I'll go to the household department first to explain some trivial matters. You guys prepare dry food and horses, and we will leave the city separately before evening."
The four of them nodded in agreement.
