Jiankang City, Qulinggong Mansion.
Xichang Hou Xunchong was beaten in the street by Xu Zongwen in Guanju Tower. He lost all face. After suffering the loss, he immediately went to find his second brother Xun Liang.
Xun Liang was the son of the former Hussar General and Consort Xun Xian and Princess Xunyang. One position.
"Second brother! I can't swallow that breath of your eldest brother! Who is that Xu Xiao? Didn't he just conquer a few more cities in the Northern Expedition and kill more Hulu than others? In the final analysis, he is just a warrior. He is a Xu Xiao from the East China Sea. The subordinates of the clan actually dare to beat me, this is going against my will!"
Xun Chong was sitting on his knees at the main seat, with half of his head wrapped in gauze. He tightly grasped the tea cup handed to him by Xun Liang. When he mentioned Xu Zongwen's name, his eyes almost burst into flames!
Xun Liang also scolded Xu Zongwen from the side: "This Xu Xiao, relying on His Majesty's favor, dared to make enemies of the nobles when he first came to Jiankang to meet His Majesty. He is too courageous! I think Your Majesty will definitely punish him severely this time, kill his arrogance, and vent his anger on you, big brother!"
"Absolutely."
"No matter what, your Majesty and I are brothers with blood thicker than water. Who does Xu Xiao think he is? After winning a few battles, he thinks he is the king of heaven. How can he not even take me seriously?" This time I have to lose some skin!"
Xun Chong said viciously, while covering his swollen cheeks and shouting that it hurt.
"Ouch, this hurts me. I must kill this Xu Xiao. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! Ah——"
Xun Liang agreed with Xun Chong on the surface, but in fact he was also thinking about this matter. He heard that Taifu Xie An had written a memorial to defend Xu Zongwen, and even the fifteen-year-old Nanjun Gong Huanxuan also wrote a memorial saying that the Marquis of Xichang despised the law. Xu Zongwen is upholding justice for the people...
Undoubtedly, the emperor's attitude in the matter of Guanju Tower is crucial. As long as the emperor has an attitude, no matter how others take action, it will be in vain.
According to Xun Liang's guess, although the emperor would not kill Xu Zongwen because of his repeated military exploits, he would definitely punish Xu Zongwen severely in order to save the family's face. After all, the Jiankang court was controlled by the gentry, and it was impossible for the emperor to fall to Xu Zongwen's side. Even if it is partiality, Xun Chong is the most important. What weight can Xu Zongwen, who was born in the Xu family of the East China Sea, have?
"Brother, I have invited the best doctor in Jiankang City to diagnose and treat you. You have to endure it at home these days, and your injury will heal soon. Xu Zongwen, as long as His Majesty gives you a word, you will be dead or alive. We can't help him anymore, just wait for the good news!" Xun Liang sat closer and said.
After some analysis by Xun Liang, Xun Chong's anger has been mostly eliminated. Now, whenever he thinks about the scene where the emperor orders Xu Zongwen to be severely punished, or preferably to execute Xu Zongwen, he feels elated and relieved!
Not only the brothers Xie and Xun were paying close attention to Xu Zongwen, but Xu Zongwen's beating of the Marquis of Xichang in Guanju Tower had already caused a stir among the gentry. Even the streets and alleys of Jiankang City were in uproar. No one knows, no one knows.
The first people to spread the news were the onlookers who gathered in front of Guanju Tower and witnessed the development of the incident with their own eyes. According to the eyewitnesses, the sky was clear and cloudless that day...
At that time, Xu Xiao, the invincible general of the Northern Campaign, and Xu Zongwen, went out to the restaurant in Taiping Tower and were about to leave. Suddenly they heard a chaotic quarrel and the miserable cry of a woman. Xu Xiao, the general of the Northern Campaign, was upright. , how could he turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye?
So Xu Zongwen, the general of the Northern Expedition, followed the sound and found it at the foot of Guanju Tower. At that time, the notorious Xichang Hou Xunchong near Jiankang City was robbing the family heirloom of a singer in Guanju Tower. That orb was particularly valuable. , worth hundreds of gold! The Marquis of Xichang bullied the weak, and the singer was weak and helpless. She was beaten to death by the servants of the Marquis of Xichang on the spot, leaving only half a breath left!
At this critical moment, Xu Xiao, the heroic general who conquered the North, rushed to the scene of the crime and acted bravely. On the spot, he beat the men of the Marquis of Xichang who had bullied the singer until they were all over the floor. Xu Xiao, the general of the Northern Expedition, also beat the greedy and lustful Marquis of Xichang to the ground with his teeth!
Xu Xiao, the general who conquered the north, begged for the family heirloom for the singer in Guanjulou. The singer was so grateful to Xu Xiao, the general who conquered the north, that she thanked him profusely!
Then the matter did not end perfectly. Jiankang ordered Wang Fu, who colluded with the Marquis of Xichang and became an adulterer, and led his men to surround Xu Xiao, the general of the northern expedition. Xu Xiao, the general of the northern expedition, was in awe of Jiankang Yamen and did not arrest him.
The king of Jiankang saw that General Xu Xiao, the general of the Northern Campaign, was weak and could be bullied, so he actually beat him up, falsely accused him of being a prostitute, allowed the Marquis of Xichang to commit murder, unjustly accused the Northern General Xu Xiao, beat him in the street, and sent the Northern General Xu Xiao and the singer from Guanju Tower. He was imprisoned and the Marquis of Xichang was released on the spot...
Then some people said that the pearl in the hand of the Guanju Tower singer was worth tens of thousands of gold. It was spat out from Dayao's mouth when Dayu was controlling the floods, and it was a treasure handed down from generation to generation.
Others say that during the national mourning period, the Marquis of Xichang went in and out of the Fireworks and Willow Alley in broad daylight. Because of his incompetence, the girl in Guanjulou was extremely dissatisfied and asked for more money. The Marquis of Xichang knew he was ashamed but refused to increase the money, so he went with The girls from Guan Ju Lou had a falling out and even beat the girls from Guan Ju Lou in the street.
Fortunately, Xu Xiao, the general who conquered the north, arrived in time and saved the life of the girl from Guanjulou, and taught the Marquis of Xichang a lesson for his bad conduct and misbehavior.
Some people say that Xun Chong, the Marquis of Xichang, seduced a girl from a good family, bought and sold people, and falsely accused her of being a prostitute. And the girl from a good family happened to be acquainted with Xu Xiao, the general of the Northern Campaign. Xu Xiao, the general of the Northern Campaign, beat up the Marquis of Xichang in a rage, and the good family The woman was grateful and wanted to commit herself to her. Xu Xiao, the general of the northern expedition, was of noble character and would rather die than obey.
The Marquis of Xichang, Xun Chong, was determined to win, but the two were at odds. The Marquis of Xichang and a girl from a good family started fighting in the street. Xu Xiao, the general of the Northern Expedition, saw that the Marquis of Xichang was outnumbered, so he couldn't help but join in.
There were various versions circulated in the market later, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that the Marquis of Xichang colluded with Wang Fu of Jiankang to assassinate General Xu Xiao, who stood up to seek justice. Xu Xiao was imprisoned unjustly, and even The originally beautiful weather with bright sunshine suddenly turned to heavy snowfall...
After the Jin Emperor's edict pardoning Xu Zongwen was sent to Jiankang Prison, Jiankang's order Wang Fu was so frightened that he rolled over to Xu Zongwen's cell to plead guilty. His intestines were green with regret!
Wang Fu originally only wanted to please Xichang Hou Xun Chong, but he never thought that he would catch a general who conquered the north. He was also the most valued minister of the emperor at this time. He could only put aside his arrogance as a nobleman and his status as a scholar and go to apologize in person. .
Hearing rumors in the market that Xu Zongwen was an upright, noble, chivalrous and courageous good man who prayed for the people, and exposed his true face to the public, Xun Chong was so angry that he couldn't take a breath and his face was covered with blood. , and received news that the emperor had issued an edict to release Xu Zongwen, he was so angry that he couldn't afford to fall ill...
