The Red Mansions

Chapter 183 Jia Heng: Mr. Lu, you have to take care of the overall situation.

Chapter 183 Jia Heng: Mr. Lu, you...you have to take care of the overall situation.

Jinyi Mansion——

Lu Jingyao, Ji Yingtian, and six or seven thousands of households all left the official hall. After walking for a while, they happened to arrive at the Yimen Gate. When they looked up, they saw Gu Yunjin clasped his fists and saluted a boy in civilian clothes.

Lu Jingyao looked indifferent, and said with a sneer: "Gu Qianhu, which cabinet minister is here, and you didn't report it to the inside, and if you don't know, you think it's a lower official who is neglecting the cabinet minister."

Ji Yingtian laughed lightly, elongated his voice, and said, "Lao Lu, we old brocade clothes are all slaves of the Holy Lord, not to mention the cabinet ministers, even if Eunuch Dai sent a small inner eunuch, I will wait for you." waiting."

This is the sinister ridicule of Jia Heng as a small inner prisoner.

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Jingyao's face was stunned, and then he laughed and echoed, "Lao Ji's words are very true. We are His Majesty's claws and claws, and we are ordered to do things. Whoever instructs us, we must not listen carefully."

Seeing the Shangguan laughing, the several thousand households behind him also burst into laughter.

Jia Heng's face was as calm as Xuanshui, and he looked at Lu Jingyao and Ji Yingtian in a low voice. On the way, Qu Lang had already told him about the current situation of Jinyi Mansion.

The two acquaintances, Lu and Ji, are the principals of the Jinyi Mansion, and Qiu Liang, the governor of Beizhen Fusi, is a subordinate who performs specific tasks and recruits and trains manpower, while the Fusi of Nanzhen does not work here.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Jinyi Mansion Beizhen Fusi.

On the other side, facing the ridicule of Jin Yi's mansion, Xie Zaiyi snorted coldly, and was about to drink coldly, but Jia Heng stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Lu Jingyao, Ji Yingtian, and the few Jinyiqianhu behind them, with more and more contempt on their faces, and sneering in their hearts.

After all, he is a brat, so what if he is a knight?

Jinyiwei Mansion, where the Son of Heaven is in the army, is a servant of the Son of Heaven, not to mention a third-class General Yunhui, even a third-class man, a third-class son, he can speak and laugh without restraint!

How can they help them?

Jia Heng's face was gloomy, he took a step forward, and said coldly: "Lu Jingyao, Ji Yingtian, you two are self-serving slaves of the Son of Heaven, can you recognize this sword?"

"bass……"

The three-foot sword at the waist suddenly came out of its sheath, and made a clear trembling sound, like the chant of a water dragon, and stopped the laughter of Lu Jingyao and Ji Yingtian in his throat.

"This...this is..."

"Slave of the Son of Heaven? You don't even know the sword of the Son of Heaven? Although you keep calling yourself a slave of the Son of Heaven, you still have the Son of Heaven in your heart!" Jia Heng shouted suddenly.

In fact, he didn't want to use the Emperor Sword to coerce Jin Yiwei's two acquaintances.

Still the same sentence, if the Jinyiwei Mansion can cooperate with him, he will naturally not offend others. The so-called many friends have many ways, but if they don't give him face, he doesn't have to get used to it.

There are ups and downs in the officialdom, and one step back will never be restored. Decentness is often more important than life. If today these two fellows feel ashamed and remain indifferent, and return home in despair, he will never be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom.

"Lu and Ji look down on people. If the future development of "Dream of Red Mansions" is followed, neither Lu nor Ji can secure the position of commander of Jinyidu, and finally let Captain Qiu take the position. "

Jia Heng's mind turned, and these joints flashed in his mind one by one.

On this side, Ji Yingtian heard the scolding, his face was ashen-colored, his pupils were constricted like needles, his gaze fell on the golden dragon scabbard hanging from the waist of the commoner boy, as if he couldn't leave it anymore.

It's the Son of Heaven Sword!

Make no mistake, this is the Emperor Sword!

The sword of the common people, who dares to be tattooed with dragons, chapters and phoenixes?

Not to mention engraving dragon and phoenix patterns on ritual and musical instruments such as tripods, swords, and seals. This is a heinous crime!

The crime of disrespect: all thieves and forgers of royal treasures, hang!

Even in later generations, there is also the crime of forging official documents and seals of state organs, because it violates the prestige of state organs.

"Presumptuous! The emperor's sword is here, as if the saint is here in person. You are the emperor's servants, and you are still there. Are you going to sit on an equal footing with the emperor as a slave?"

Before Jia Heng could ask, Cai Quan behind him was already enraged in his dantian, his tongue was full of spring thunder, he was shouting angrily, looking at a few Jin Yiwei not far away who usually made a detour when they saw each other, and spoke harshly.

He said in his heart, "Brother Heng insists on hanging this Shangfang sword by himself, and will not learn from Baolongtu on the stage, and let Yumao Zhanzhao hold it."

As for who is Yumao, well, he Cai Quan is not talented, and he has always followed the lead of brothers Heng.

Jia Heng's complexion was gloomy, and a strange flash flashed in his heart. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Cai Quan, whose face was flushed like drinking fine wine, and a flash of sadness or helplessness flashed in his heart.

Secretly, this is where power is so charming that it makes heroes bow down.

The so-called eight-seat living room, one call for Bainuo, even merchants want to donate their background, past and present, no exception!

On this side, in the face of Cai Quan's questioning, Gu Yunjin, who was closest to Jia Heng, was the first to be unable to resist. He lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on the ground, and said in trepidation, "Gu Yunjin, who is humble, has seen an angel!"

Afterwards, Ji Yingtian's face was also ugly, because the sneer on the corner of his mouth was withdrawn suddenly, and he seemed to be convulsed, but he still lifted his robe, lowered his head deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Commander Jin Yi I know, Ji Yingtian sees the angel!"

After that, there was a sound of kneeling down, and the four thousand households behind Ji Yingtian all knelt down on the ground in darkness, their bodies trembling slightly.

For a moment, only Lu Jingyao and the two thousand households behind him were left with pale complexions, looking at the civilian boy holding Shang Fang's sword in fear.

"Why, Lu Tongzhi feels that his wings are full, and he doesn't consider himself a servant of the emperor?" Jia Heng gave Lu Jingyao a cold look, and said coldly.

"Minister, Jin Yi is in command of Tong Zhi, and he is in charge of the affairs of Jin Yi's mansion. Lu Jingyao has seen an angel!" Lu Jingyao's body was shocked, and he lowered his head deeply. .

Then, there was a few breaths of silence.

Jia Heng looked at Lu Jingyao, who was kneeling on the ground with trembling shoulders, his face was indifferent, he held a sword in one hand, and supported Lu Jingyao's shoulder with the other, squatted down halfway, put his head close to Lu Jingyao's ear, and said: " This officer was ordered by the emperor to point out the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and made every effort to investigate the fact that the country's candidates for the exam were beaten and mutilated by the Jianghu gang in Dongcheng. It can be said that this case is a case that the government and the public, all officials, and the cabinet are concerned about, and the deputy Qianhu of Qu Lang in the Jinyi Mansion is cooperating with the case. Lord Lu, I heard that you... seem to have a lot of opinions?"

Although he said it with his ear, but the voice was clear and clear, not too loud, it happened to be heard by several thousand households in Jinyi Mansion, and all of them felt a chill in their hearts.

Especially the young man holding on to the unsheathed Tianzi sword with one hand and touching Lu Tongzhi's shoulder with the other. This scene really has a creepy feeling of hiding a knife in a smile.

Eight words could not help but emerge in my heart, with gentle words in my mouth and a sharp sword in my hand.

Lu Jingyao's shoulder was pressed, his heart was shaken violently, his face was full of anger and humiliation, but from the corner of his eyes, he was illuminated by the dazzling golden light of the Tianzi Sword, and listening to the soft words in his ears, bursts of self burst out of his heart With unspeakable fear, he said: "Angel, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a humble job!"

Jia Heng said softly: "Tongzhi Lu, the Eastern Captives are ravaging the northern border. The Holy Majesty is disturbed by the border affairs, almost forgetting to eat and sleep. Now the Dongcheng gang is raging, and the city is full of storms. Even in Jinyi Mansion, there are people who have been secretly informing about it." , I have received the great grace of the emperor, supervised the handling of this case, and resolved the worries of the Holy One, so I came to Jinyi Mansion to ask for help. After all, this official is also for the emperor's envoy."

At the end, he patted Lu Jingyao on the shoulder and said, "So, Mr. Lu... you have to take care of the overall situation."

Whether it was Lu Jingyao or Ji Yingtian who said the words with a needle hidden in the mat, there was a sense of creepiness.

As the son of heaven's eagle and dog minions, if they don't share the worries of the sage and can't take care of the overall situation, then they will hold the sword of the son of heaven and wipe them out!

"Humble job..." Lu Jingyao was already sweating profusely, he could hear the murderous intent hidden in this calm tone, hated and feared in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I will obey you."

Jia Heng got up, and said with a cold expression: "Lu Tongzhi, Ji Tongzhi, several thousand adults, get up, whether you are resentful or dissatisfied, whether you want to get back the position or want to take revenge on this official, you have to wait." This time the errand is done well! Now I hold the Tianzi Sword, supervise the handling of the case, and order the Jinyi Mansion to provide intelligence assistance. Who should be perfunctory and secretly do bad things? Even if I forgive him, the Tianzi Sword in my hand will also be spared Not him!"

When it came to the end, the words were harsh and murderous.

The hearts of Lu Jingyao, Ji Yingtian and others below trembled violently, and they dared not answer.

As the voice fell, the long sword was sheathed, and a clear water dragon's chant resounded in the courtyard. Although it was sheathed back, the murderous aura hidden in the scabbard was three points stronger than when the sword was drawn out.

Cai Quan and Dong Qian held their heads high at this moment, with proud faces on their faces, and Xie Zaiyi behind him also shot out his tiger eyes, thinking, there is only such a strong and decisive person who can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain , to be qualified to be his superior.

The man should be so!

Qu Lang and the Jinyi guards behind him also looked at the young man standing proudly.

A thought arose in my heart by coincidence, the imperial power franchise, beheading first and playing later, exercising the power of life and death, without fear of slander and accusation, this is Jinyiwei!

"Get up, let's talk in the official hall." Jia Heng lifted his cloak and walked towards the official hall.

The reason why he dared to act like this now was still the same sentence, he brought the emperor sword, as if the emperor came in person.

Of course, he can't act recklessly. Although no one has told him about proportion, he knows it better than anyone else.

In front of the palace gate, King Qi's servant cut off his ear, and he didn't even touch King Qi's hair, which was a measure of proportion.

In the Wucheng Bingmasizhong, the sword was across Qiu Liang's neck, the sword pierced half an inch, and it would stop immediately when it saw blood. This is also the measure.

In Jinyi Mansion, intimidating all the Jinyi people in Jinyi Mansion, causing them to kneel down, rubbing their shoulders and "soothing with gentle words", is also a matter of propriety.

If you think that you can do whatever you want with Shangfang's sword and kill whoever you want, then you are just Yuan Dudu who killed Mao Wenlong without authorization.

"If you want to use power as you like, you must know the boundaries of power. Otherwise, if you use too little, you will become mediocre and incompetent. If you use too much, you will become domineering and authoritarian. Many emperors don't even understand this truth. They don't know their own power. How much power they hold in their hands, but they are despised and deceived by their subordinates, and they abuse their power, and in the long run, they are also despised and despised by their subordinates... Therefore, the emperor's art is to appoint officials according to people, to be responsible for the truth, and to use the handle of life and death , to teach the abilities of the ministers."

Jia Heng suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and under the retinue of Cai Quan and Qu Lang, he walked into the official hall with a stern expression, followed by Tongzhi and Qianhu of Jinyi Mansion.

In the official hall, Jia Heng sat behind the table, put the Tianzi Sword on the table, and looked over the guards in brocade clothes below.

"All of you are the pillars of the Jinyi Mansion, and are regarded by the Holy One as the eagle and dog minions of the screen guard emperor. I also admire your abilities. Now that the Jianghu gangs are raging in Dongcheng, you should have a good plan to teach me?"

The thousands of households in brocade clothes below all looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to answer, they just looked at Lu and Ji, the two commanders.

Seeing that the people in the official hall were silent, Jia Heng sneered, and said: "This is the Son of Heaven's pro-army. He has all kinds of tricks hidden in his chest, and there is no way to control the enemy! No wonder Dongcheng Sanhe Gang and others are allowed to wreak havoc. It lasted for several years! Even Wei Li's commander resigned due to crimes..."

At this moment, Qianhu, a 27-year-old young man with a serious face below, raised his head, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please take back this statement!"

Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said: "There is a hero out there, tell me."

That Qianhu bit the bullet, cupped his hands and said: "The Sanhe Gang in the East City was formed and expanded, all under my close supervision, Jinyi, and the investigations of the Secretary have been compiled into a book, everything is available, and it was taken away by Deputy Qu Qianhu. Your Excellency has read all the booklets, why do you despise me, the Son of Heaven, and the army?"

As soon as this remark came out, thousands of households responded one after another.

As for Ji Yingtian and Lu Jingyao, they just glanced at each other quietly. There was a flash of joy in the eyes of these two old rivals.

I thought, that's it!

It doesn't matter if you, Jia Heng, hold the Tianzi sword in your hand, if you are an incompetent person, everyone in the Jinyiwei Mansion will not accept it.

However, at this moment, a sneer came from behind the case.

"I asked you about the strategy to control the enemy, but you said that the information was collected. Now that the information is collected, why do you sit and watch the Sanhe gang wreak havoc on the East City, and it has gradually become a chronic disease?" Jia Heng patted the gavel and said in a deep voice. : "I don't underestimate the ability of Jinyi, but I hate that you have this ability, but you still stand by and watch the Sanhe Gang bully men and women, and do evil!"

When everyone below heard this, their hearts were shocked.

Lu Jingyao and Ji Yingtian's faces were gloomy, and they could only listen to the scolding, because even if the former commander Shang Yong was responsible for [-]% of the blame, the other [-]% was also on their heads.

Jia Heng suddenly stood up, his eyes as cold as a knife swept across the thousands of households in brocade clothes below one by one, his face was gloomy, and he said each word: "If you underestimate the power of brocade clothes, I will not come here! If you don't hate you If you have this ability, but stand by and watch, I will not come here! Gentlemen, how can you see this Tianzi sword?"

Si Yan was as sharp as a knife, like a sharp sword, piercing through the darkness, piercing the eyes of thousands of households in brocade clothes, they were too ashamed to open their eyes.

"The Emperor's Sword came out because of this incident. It's really a disgrace to Jinyi! Shame! It's a great shame!" Jia Heng shouted heavily, raised the Emperor's Sword, and cast his firm and cold eyes on the thousands of Jinyi guards below, finally falling on his face with a gloomy expression. , on the silent faces of Lu and Ji.

Hearing the words, all the brocade clothes were shocked, and they didn't know whose knees softened, fell to their knees, and fell deeply on the ground.

Then, like dominoes, six or seven families in brocade clothes knelt down one after another, all kneeling on the ground.

The master is worried about the humiliation of the minister, the master is humiliating the minister to death, the words have been said to this extent, who the hell has the face to stand? !

Well, Ji Yingtian and Lu Jingyao are still fighting.

But Ji Yingtian's face was ashen, his lips trembled, he also cupped his hands upwards, and knelt down on the ground.

No matter what, the surname Jia is in full swing, he kneels down first, Lao Lu, you can do whatever you want!

Lu Jingyao's face was ugly at the moment, he gritted his teeth, lifted his brocade robe, and knelt down, but his head was still stuck, and he looked at the young man behind the case, seemingly unyielding.

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, but he said in a clear voice: "Lu Tongzhi seems to have something to say?"

Lu Jingyao said: "The Jinyi Mansion has been watching the Sanhe Gang in Dongcheng for several years. I have been incompetent for a long time. Lu did not dare to refuse. It's just that after Lu's generation in charge of the mansion, he is also ready to lead Jinyi to be the emperor to suppress it."

Jia Heng's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "Then Lu Tongzhi, why didn't you say a word when I asked you what strategy you have to control the enemy?!"

In the end, it was already stern, questioning every word.

Lu Jingyao: "..."

Damn, wait for him here with words?

"Lu Tongzhi, even if you have resentment towards Jia, you still need to consider the overall situation and put business first! You are now in charge of the government affairs, but don't forget that you are only in charge, not the official of Jinyi Mansion! Or, do you think With His Majesty's bravery and decisiveness, can you use a person who abolishes public affairs for personal reasons and has no regard for the overall situation?"

Lu Jingyao's face turned pale, and there was only one thought in his mind, it's over...

Once the news of today spreads, Lu Jingyao's reputation of abolishing the public and disregarding the overall situation will surely spread inside and outside the Jinyi Mansion, and then it will fall into the ears of the Holy Lord...

Ji Yingtian knelt down below and said hello in his heart. Once this matter spreads, Lao Lu's official career will be affected.

It's just that Mr. Jia, why did he want to be a military officer instead of a civil servant?

Lu Jingyao's face was ugly, he raised his head and looked at the young man opposite him unyieldingly, the resentment in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

Cutting off one's official career is like killing one's parents!

No, even resentment is useless, it needs to be remedied!

Lu Jingyao's thoughts changed, he raised his displeased chubby face, and said anxiously: "Mr. Jia's words, I don't agree with Mr. Lu. I have already thought of a strategy to suppress them, but I am looking for information about the Sanhe gang. The head of the family can collect the intelligence and arrest people according to the list tonight, and we will never allow the Three Rivers Gang to wreak havoc until tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Jia Heng's complexion was gloomy, a pair of stern eyes stared at Lu Jingyao, and said, "Tonight?"

"Just tonight! Capture the leaders of the Sanhe Gang, and ride the Dasuo all over the city..."

"Stupid! Reckless man!" Jia Heng shouted sharply, stopping Lu Jingyao's words. This covetous Jin Yi Tongzhi almost ruined his event.

The members of the Sanhe gang are so easy to catch, he directly led the soldiers of the five cities, Ma Sibing and Ding Qing to suppress him, so why did he look for Jin Yiwei?

If they can't take down their big and small leaders in one fell swoop, it may lead to turmoil.

All the thousands of households below were shocked when they heard the words, and looked up at the suddenly enraged young man with puzzled eyes.

But Lu Jingyao was scolded for being stupid, his face was red and white, and his heart was extremely angry. He could say that he was a third-rank military general, a 40-year-old man, and was scolded as a reckless man by a yellow-mouthed child...

Jia Heng said: "Arresting people tonight, you Lu Tongzhi, have you ever thought about it, if you can't capture all the big and small leaders in one fell swoop, what will you do if they instigate the gang members and family members of the Sanhe Gang to suspend work and make trouble in Dongcheng? Now At the time when grain was being transported to Beijing, once the grain work in Dongcheng was disrupted, how many heads would you, Lu Jingyao, have for the officials to impeach?"

As soon as this remark came out, the official hall fell silent, and a needle could be heard.

And Lu Jingyao sat on the ground like a deflated ball, yes, he forgot... This is not something that can be done by catching a few bosses, he is eager to make contributions, but...
