Chapter 471: Jinyiwei has great authority! (4000 words)
Sitting in the teahouse, the more Xu Ming listened, the more frightened he felt.
This storyteller has already said that he and the Dragon Queen will share life and death and have pledged to spend their lives together.
As the other people in the teahouse listened to these things, they became more and more excited.
This is something they have never heard of before.
Although most people think that this thing is probably fake, what if it is true?
There are so many unofficial histories on the market now. Can you guarantee that all of them are false?
This is surely impossible.
Since this matter could be spread, there must be a reason for it, and it must be based on certain facts. After all, no matter what, a story would not come out of thin air.
“It is said that Lord Xu and the Eternal Dragon Queen spent three days and three nights together, and Lord Xu eventually left the palace.
Lord Xu said to the Eternal Dragon Queen: "My country needs me, I have to leave."
The Dragon Queen said: "You have the country in your heart, but do you also have me?"
Lord Xu looked at his family in front of him, his heart was full of mixed feelings; 'I am unwilling to betray my country, and I dare not betray my beautiful woman.'
The Dragon Queen's eyes flickered and she opened her lips slightly: "Then I'll wait for you."
Lord Xu left the palace alone. The Eternal Dragon Queen looked at Lord Xu's back until he disappeared in the distance, and she did not take her eyes off him for a long time.
Only the sky at the bottom of the sea left a trace of white. "
As the storyteller's voice fell, the sound of the woman playing the pipa next to him rang out again, and the sad melody spread throughout the teahouse.
Many tea drinkers sighed, and even felt a little regretful, thinking that it would not be a bad idea for the Dragon Queen and the Number One Scholar to be together.
But some people think that it is better for Xu Ming to be with his own princess. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to let his own princess become a concubine, right?
Or do you want to make this Eternal Dragon Queen your concubine? That's even more impossible.
Xu Ming took a sip of tea, thinking that he had finally finished talking.
If it weren't for the freedom of speech among the people of Wu State, even the emperor could be insulted.
If Xu Ming hadn’t been worried about bringing bad things to the Jinyiwei.
Otherwise, Xu Ming really wanted to use his connections with the Imperial Guards to ban this song.
When the storytelling was over, the woman with her eyes closed walked off the stage, holding a cane in one hand and a copper basin for rewards in the other, and came in front of the crowd.
Whenever the tea drinkers put copper coins or some silver into the copper basin, the woman would say in a gentle voice: "Thank you, sir."
When the girl walked in front of a wealthy young master, the young master took out an ingot of silver and put it into the girl's copper basin.
The heavy voice made the girl stunned for a moment, and she hurriedly said several times: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
"May I know your name, young lady?" The rich young master looked at the girl.
The woman quickly replied, "My name is Mang'er."
When the woman introduced herself, one could tell that her tone was a little nervous.
"Miss Mang'er is so pretty. Why don't you stop playing the pipa and follow me? You will have delicious food and drink, and I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing. The storyteller is your grandfather, right? Your grandfather won't have to tell stories anymore." The desire in the eyes of the rich young master was no longer concealed.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. But Mang'er still wants to tell stories with grandpa. I hope you can forgive me," the woman said, bowed, and turned to leave.
However, the young master of the rich family immediately grabbed the girl's wrist and said, "Young lady, don't be in a hurry to leave. I've given you a silver ingot. Can you stay with me and talk for a while?"
"Sir, please don't do this." The girl named Manger tried to break free from the other party's restraints, but the other party's hands were holding her tightly.
"What's wrong with me?" The rich young master laughed and looked lawless.
If Miss Mang'er hadn't been refusing forcefully, she would have been pulled into the other party's arms.
Xu Ming, who was sitting nearby, watched this scene and slowly put down his teacup.
Good job.
In broad daylight, in Wudu, you actually flirted with a decent woman? My cheap father flirted with decent women only in the villages outside the city, but you did it directly in the imperial capital? You are really not afraid of death. Don't you know that the more you are in the center of power, the more you have to behave yourself?
Otherwise, not only will you not know how you died, but the people behind you will also be uprooted, and your entire family may be implicated by you.
And just when Xu Ming was about to stand up.
A beautiful figure flashed across Xu Ming's sight.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ming saw a slender leg kicking the other person out.
“Bang.”
This rich young master was kicked away, knocking over the tables and chairs, and the tea scalded his body like a pig.
"Hot, hot, hot!"
The rich young master quickly stood up and wiped the tea off his body, but unfortunately the tea had taken quite some time to be served, so it was unable to completely burn his skin.
Xu Ming looked carefully to see which female hero it was.
"Hmm? Why does this person look familiar?"
"Hmm? Tang Ningzhi?"
When Xu Ming first saw Tang Ningzhi, he didn't react.
The main thing is that Tang Ningzhi was wearing a long skirt, her hair was gathered up with a hairpin, and the rest of her hair fell down her shoulders. Compared with her previous sharp temperament, Tang Ningzhi's outfit was indeed more feminine, and it was indeed very beautiful.
Xu Ming didn't expect that Tang Ningzhi was actually drinking tea with him in the same teahouse. He was so engrossed in listening to the storytelling that he didn't notice her for a while.
Tang Ningzhi is here, so does that mean Liu Feng is here for tea too?
But when Xu Ming looked towards Tang Ningzhi, he indeed did not see Liu Feng.
In other words, Tang Ningzhi came out to play alone.
"You dare to kick me? You dare to kick me?! Do you know who I am?!"
The rich young master pointed at Tang Ningzhi and asked, his cheeks flushed with anger, and he wished he could cut the person who kicked him into pieces.
However, when he saw Tang Ningzhi's appearance clearly, the anger in his heart was replaced by lust.
How come this girl is so beautiful?
In comparison, the woman just now was only worthy of being her maid.
"Who are you?" Tang Ningzhi asked, sneering in her heart.
"I am the son of the current Dali Qing - Zheng Qiu!" the rich young master shouted.
"The Dali Minister." Tang Ningzhi laughed, her eyes full of disdain. "I heard that Wu State has a clean government and strict laws. The Dali Minister is the highest official in the Dali Temple and is responsible for judicial affairs. But his son is here to take advantage of a decent woman?"
"I am giving her a chance. What do you know? As long as she becomes my concubine, she will become a phoenix and have no worries about food and clothing in the future." The son of the Dali Qing looked at Tang Ningzhi and swallowed again. "Now kneel on the ground and admit your mistake to me. I will give you a chance!"
The more Zheng Qiu looked at the woman standing in front of her, the more itchy she felt. She had never seen such a beautiful person since she was a child.
"Admit your mistake?" Tang Ningzhi walked forward step by step with a very unfriendly look on her face.
"What do you want to do?" Zheng Qiu quickly stepped back.
"ah!"
Zheng Qiu was kicked down again by Tang Ningzhi.
Tang Ningzhi kicked Zheng Qiu again and again, and Zheng Qiu screamed: "How dare you kick me? You know who I am, and you still dare to kick me? Even my father has never hit me like this. Stop it, stop it, ah! Go and ask for help from Jingzhao Prefecture! Ah!"
Zheng Qiu was like a dog, being kicked non-stop by Tang Ningzhi. Every time he tried to get up, he was kicked to the ground by Tang Ningzhi.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran downstairs to find his own shopkeeper to see what to do about the matter.
After all, this was a high-ranking official who was beaten in his own teahouse.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, when the waiter was about to walk down the stairs, Xu Ming stopped him again and said, "We have to go to not only Jingzhao Mansion, but also Jinyi Mansion."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go tell the shopkeeper right away." The waiter understood and ran downstairs quickly.
"Miss, please stop fighting and leave quickly. The Jingzhao Prefecture will be here soon." Mang'er hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Tang Ningzhi, just pulling Tang Ningzhi's arm.
"Run? You can't run away! I've already remembered you! You're done! Ah!"
Zheng Qiu still wanted to be tough, but was kicked hard by Tang Ningzhi several times.
In fact, Tang Ningzhi has already restrained herself a little.
Otherwise, with Tang Ningzhi's realm, Zheng Qiu would have been kicked to death. "Oh, Jingzhao Prefecture, right?" Tang Ningzhi said disdainfully, "Okay, then let Jingzhao Prefecture come."
Tang Ningzhi sat on the stool nearby, her legs intertwined under her skirt, looking at Zheng Qiu with contempt.
Looking at this stunning beauty, Zheng Qiu wanted to say something harsh, but he was afraid that she would kick him again.
Zheng Qiu didn't dare to leave and could only sit on the ground, but he was already worried in his heart.
The other party is so confident and noble, and her clothes do not look like those of an ordinary wealthy woman. Could such a woman have an extraordinary background?
"Who is causing trouble?!"
As a result, in less than a cup of tea, the detectives from Jingzhao Prefecture walked in.
As if he had seen a savior, Zheng Qiu quickly stood up and pointed at Tang Ningzhi with a trembling finger: "It's her! It's her! It's this woman who beat me! Hurry up and arrest her! This young master wants to interrogate her personally!"
Several detectives looked at their boss, their eyes seemed to ask, "Who is this person? Why is he bossing us around?"
"This man is the son of the Dali Qing, and he just came from Jiangnan County." said the chief constable.
This constable had seen this man before and had a bad impression of him. He didn't expect that he had committed a crime again here.
The detectives then understood that since the son of the Dali Qing was beaten, they had to take care of the matter. No matter what, they had to arrest the man first.
You know, the current Jingzhao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture has a very good relationship with the Dali Qing. To a certain extent, Jingzhao Prefecture and the Dali Temple actually have a subordinate relationship.
"You two, arrest that woman."
"What happened?"
Just when the chief constable was about to give an order, another voice came from the stairs.
Everyone turned around and saw five men in flying fish suits walking up the stairs.
Looking at these five men, the detectives from Jingzhao Prefecture frowned and looked very unhappy.
Who in Wudu today doesn’t know the symbol of the Jinyiwei, which is the Feiyu uniform and the Tang Dynasty horizontal sword?
Originally, patrolling Wudu and protecting its peace was one of the duties of Jingzhao Prefecture.
But now, with the addition of the Jinyiwei, most of the power in their hands has been divided away, and there is even a saying in Wudu now that "only Feiyufu is recognized, and Jingzhaofu is not recognized".
This caused great dissatisfaction in Jingzhao Prefecture.
Although His Majesty later ordered that all matters in the imperial capital, big or small, should still be handled primarily by Jingzhao Prefecture, this was also because it did not want to cause more trouble for the Jinyiwei Prefecture, or to make the Jinyiwei Prefecture's responsibilities clearer.
In other words, Jingzhao Prefecture has been "managing" Wudu since ancient times, and everything is charity from the Jinyifu.
And if the Jinyifu wanted to intervene, the case in the hands of Jingzhao Prefecture would have to be transferred to the Jinyifu without any reason or conditions.
Although many people felt unbalanced, there was nothing they could do. After all, the Jinyifu was responsible for monitoring all officials. Moreover, they were only responsible for His Majesty. The head constable stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted the five people in Feiyu uniforms, and said, "Chen Wen."
The leader of the five-member team clasped his fists in return: "Liu Jiading."
The head constable Chen Wen smiled and said, "My dear colleagues, the son of the Dali Qing was beaten by this woman. We received a report and came to handle it."
Liu Jiading nodded: "We also received the same report, but I just heard that you want to arrest people when I came here. It's not good to arrest people without asking the facts clearly, right?"
The constable's brow twitched: "Brother, this is the son of the Dali Qing."
Liu Jiading snorted coldly: "According to the laws of the Wu Kingdom, the kings and nobles are guilty of the same crime as the common people! Not to mention the son of the Dali Qing, even if the Dali Qing was here, it would be the same!"
Liu Jiading glanced at the storyteller on the stage and said, "Old man, could you please tell me what happened?"
"Sir, it was this young master who grabbed my wrist just now and wouldn't let me leave. He wanted to take me into his room. Just now this young lady stood up for me. Please understand!"
Mang'er knelt in front of Liu Jiading.
Liu Jiading helped Mang'er up and looked around: "Is this the case?"
No one around responded, but no one refuted either, which meant that they remained silent only because they were afraid of offending the Dali Qing.
"Someone, come! Arrest the son of the Dali Qing!"
"You dare to arrest me? Who dares to arrest me?"
Zheng Qiu was startled, and then looked at the several detectives from Jingzhao Prefecture: "Are you blind? They want to arrest me? Why don't you stop them!"
The chief constable of Jingzhao Prefecture was in a very difficult situation.
Stop Jinyifu? You will suffer the consequences.
If I don't stop him, how am I going to explain to the Lord of Jingzhao Prefecture?
"The Imperial Guards have such great authority!"
Just then, a man came down the stairs.
