The people from the Adjudication Department left early the next morning.
Escorting several large ships, escorting billions of silver worth of property, they headed towards the imperial capital by sea.
And on the second day after they left, people from the Inspection Department also hurried over.
Song Xuan recognized the visitor, his name was Li Yun. He had seen this person in the Inspection Department when he was working and fishing in the imperial capital.
When Li Yun entered the Qianhu Yamen and saw Song Xuan, he burst out laughing.
"Brother Song, the commotion you made this time is really too big. When I left the capital, the commotion in the court was at its most intense. Because of your incident, three imperial envoys were directly hit and killed on the pillars. There were more than a dozen civil servants who were beaten by the emperor.
In the entire imperial capital, everyone is talking about Song Xuan's killing spree in Mingzhou. "
Song Xuan smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Li is here to take over my position?"
Li Yun lowered his voice and said: "The director asked me to come here to temporarily take over the duties of Qianhu. As for you, the director asked you to suspend your duties first and not return to the imperial capital. You can avoid the limelight outside.
After the storm subsides, we will arrange a follow-up position for you. Rest assured, your previous benefits will be the same. "
Song Xuan was a little surprised. Zhao Dezhu's energy was really beyond his expectation.
He knew that if he got one billion taels of silver, the emperor would most likely not kill him, but he didn't expect that the punishment would be so light. Is suspension a punishment?
This is no different than paid time off.
"Does the Emperor have any instructions?"
Li Yun shook his head, "Because of your matter, it is said that the commander and the director almost fell out with the emperor. Of course, it is just a rumor, and I don't know the specific situation.
However, since the emperor is so resolute in confronting all the officials in the court for you, there must be two adults involved. "
Song Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Now that the disobedient people in Yangzhou City have been basically cleared away, there is nothing to hand over to the Qianhu Office. After Brother Li takes office, just restrain the people below him from messing around."
Li Yun said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I was temporarily pulled over to support him for a while. When the situation calms down, Brother Song will probably become the youngest Qianhu in Xuanyi Guard."
At noon, Song Xuan held a banquet for Li Yun and others to wash away the dust.
At the dinner table, we talked about some recent events in the imperial capital, as well as some gossip about the commander, Zhao Dezhu and others.
After the guests and hosts were filled with wine and food, Song Xuan called together the general bannermen of the Hundred Households in the Qianhu Office, introduced Li Yun's identity, and then announced that Li Qianhu had officially taken office.
Because of Song Xuan's introduction, the general bannermen of the Hundred Households in the Qianhu Institute did not feel any resistance. In fact, it was already obvious from Master Song's attitude of working and fishing all day long. He is probably leaving Yangzhou. .
Li Yun did not live in the courtyard where Song Xuan lived before, but found another house to live in.
After leaving office, Song Xuan had nothing to do and went to the Lin Mansion to eat and drink when he had nothing to do.
Song Qian had little interest in being an official or not. She and Lin Daiyu got together to laugh and laugh all day long, and from time to time encouraged her brother to travel around the world to do justice.
After being encouraged by Song Qian several times, Song Xuan became somewhat interested. Taking advantage of the fact that he was not busy with official duties, he prepared to wander around Mingzhou as a Jianghu person.
I stopped by Huashan to see how Lao Yue was doing.
Song Qian was naturally overjoyed. After simply packing her belongings, she began to urge her brother to hit the road.
Lin Daiyu also wanted to follow, but Song Xuan refused because her martial arts skills were too weak. The angry little girl's eyes were filled with tears and resentment.
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou also wanted to go along, but Song Xuan dissuaded them.
According to him, since there was no clear reply from the Xuanyi Guards in the Imperial Capital agreeing to give Xiao Huan Dan to Hua Manlou Qian, it would be best for the two of them to stay and work in the Qianhu Office honestly.
He ran away before he could get the elixir, and there was no way he could do anything about it.
As for the future, after the Imperial Capital arranges new errands for themselves, it will not be too late for these two people to follow them.
In this regard, the two of them didn't say anything. Anyway, with Song Xuan's strength, there was no need for them to follow and protect him, as long as he remembered his previous promise.
.....
After leaving Yangzhou, Song and Xuan wandered around at will, and on this day they came to Baoding City.
Zuixianju is the most prosperous restaurant in Baoding City. The second floor is full of guests. Many people are eating food and drinking while listening to an old storyteller telling about various strange people and strange things in the world.
Brother and sister Song Xuan wore bamboo hats and covered half of their faces. They were sitting by the window, eating Zuixianju's special dishes and listening to the old man telling stories.
"Do you know what is the most famous thing in the world recently?"
The old storyteller had white hair and a pipe in his mouth. He took a deep breath and looked at everyone with a smile.
A guest hurriedly said: "Old man Zhang, are you talking about the governor of Yangzhou City? It is said that he was a ruthless man. Within a few months of taking office, tens of thousands of people died at his hands."
As soon as these words came out, the white-haired old man Zhang's expression changed, and he said with some taboo: "Hey, let's not talk about the struggle for power in the officialdom. Let's continue talking about the affairs in the world."
As he said that, he banged his hand on the square table and said in a long voice: "If we talk about the martial arts world today, the most sensational thing is the Plum Blossom Thief who has been the most active recently!
Many sects have stated that the treasures in their sects have been stolen by the Plum Blossom Thief, which has also made the Plum Blossom Thief's reputation skyrocket in the world. "
Victoria Song listened with gusto. Compared to the intrigues in the officialdom, she loved hearing these stories in the world of politics the most.
When she heard the old storyteller's voice paused and started to talk again, she said directly: "Old man, please tell me, who is this plum blossom thief?"
As she spoke, she threw a piece of broken silver onto the square table.
The white-haired old man grinned, hurriedly put away the money, and then said with a smile: "The Plum Blossom Thief's whereabouts are secretive, and no one knows.
There are rumors in the world that if you want to kill the Plum Blossom Thief, you must first get the golden silk armor. This golden silk armor is one of the famous treasures in the world. It is invulnerable to weapons, water and fire. Without this treasure, it is said that you will definitely not be the opponent of the Plum Blossom Thief. . "
Hearing this, a diner hurriedly said: "I heard that whoever kills the Plum Blossom Thief will not only get wealth that is unparalleled in the country, but even Lin Xian'er, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, may even promise that no matter who kills the Plum Blossom Thief, If she gets the Plum Blossom Thief, she will marry whomever!
Old man Zhang, is this rumor true or false? "
"Of course it's true!" Old Man Zhang said: "Not only is it true, but as far as I know, the golden silk armor has also appeared in the world, and many people have died fighting for this treasure."
Hearing this, Song Qian burst into a smile, looked at Song Xuan who was eating his own food, and whispered: "Brother, let's go kill the Plum Blossom Thief?
When the time comes, the wealth that is unparalleled will belong to me, and the most beautiful woman in the world will belong to you. Wouldn’t it be wonderful? "
Song Xuan shook his head, "I'm not interested in buses!"
