【Eighty-three times】Deep in the danger of Luoyang
Mu Yun stopped and asked again: "Two days ago, Uncle Fang Si said that there was a problem with the sale of the farm in the suburbs of Beijing... I heard that a child of the Fu family fought with others for a little money and beat them to death. But is it true that this happened?"
Xue Qing pondered his eyes and said, "This is indeed the case. Because Fu Bo ordered people to surround the Zhuangzi, Uncle Fang Si was unable to deal with many matters left by Tianzhuang before the New Year, and the handover of the Zhuangzi has been delayed to the present. But what does the farmland in the suburbs of Beijing have to do with the wealth?"
Mu Yun said: "The Tianzhuang was originally purchased by the lord who was seriously injured in the Laba explosion a few years ago. Now, the children of the Fu family have inexplicably beaten people to death in the Tianzhuang, and Jinshi suddenly appeared in the capital. Xue Qing, don't you find it strange?"
Xue Qing asked: "How could my wife know that Wu Shi is now in Luoyang? Is it mentioned in the silk book sent by General Wei?"
Mu Yun nodded and said, "He wants me to be careful of the Fu clan members, and even more so, be careful of the wealthy leader of the Shuangsha Gang. He said that he was in the capital and was eyeing Jiang and me."
Xue Qing looked strange and asked in confusion: "Why did General Wei remind his wife of these?"
Mu Yun shook his head and said, "Although I don't know why he reminded me of these things, I always feel that what he said may not be a lie. Fu Bo's movements in the past two days were strange. First, he called him sick for no reason and then refused Master Li's birthday party... he avoided us everywhere and his Majesty, not knowing what he was planning in private."
Xue Qing frowned and said, "The Guangxin Jishi Hall was completely burned because of a fire in the city. The Fu family and the Ma family colluded with the gentry to recruit soldiers and plot to raise troops. There was nothing else except the account book left by the lord Congyu. His Majesty did not believe the evidence presented by the prince... But after Master Sikong learned that the prince and the lord were going to Guangzhou, he took the lead in opposing it and had a fierce attitude."
Mu Yun also felt that this matter was suspicious, so he measured it in his heart and guessed: "Is it because Guangxin still has some evidence of guilt that is enough to make His Majesty convict Fu's great rebellion?"
Xue Qing stared at him and suddenly thought of something: "Hu Guang, the magistrate of Guangxin County, was still detained in the Dongfu Division. After the New Year, the two masters carefully examined this person and found out that Hu Guang had been greedy for not building a house, casting dams and rebuilding a Buddhist temple for his own use many years ago. Now I think that before leaving, the young master and Dou Yuelan summoned eight minor officials in the Sikong Prefecture to go to the Dongfu Division for secret review, which is probably related to Hu Guang's greed for not having a relief division back then."
Mu Yun stared at him, as if he understood something, and suddenly realized: "You mean... the case ten years ago may be related to Sikong Mansion."
Xue Qing said: "This is exactly what my subordinates meant. If this is the case, it can also explain why Lord Sikong fiercely opposed the prince and his group going to Guangzhou."
Mu Yun frowned deeply, linked this incident with the strange phenomena that happened in the capital recently, and said to Xue Qing: "In the past few days, you and me have focused all on the Dongfu Division. I was afraid that Fu Bo would hinder the Dongfu Division in the court, but he never thought that he might not have thought about starting from the court, but wanted to start from the private property under the name of Jiangfu."
Xue Qing expressed concern and said, "Mrs. I mean... the farm that the young master bought and sold a few years ago... Is there any problem?"
"Uncle Fang Si once told me that the owner of this land property was too clear and clear, as if he had deliberately copied and rebuilt it. However, after he carefully checked it, he did not find anything wrong with it, so he wrote the contract for sale. Now, thinking about it, there is a big problem.
If the owner of the manor is really clear, why did the Fu family's inner tribe have inexplicably caused a life in the farm? Before the farm was completely handed over to the name of Jiang Mansion, there was such a big deal. I think the foundation of the past must have been unclear."
Mu Yun was up and down, uneasy.
"Tomorrow, I will take all the servants and servants in the mansion and order Uncle Fang Si to pick seven or eight brothers with great martial arts from the capital. You and I will go to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing to thoroughly investigate the matter. The lord is away, alone, and the road ahead is difficult and dangerous. Since you and I stay in the capital, we should solve his worries. Don't let him be framed by a villain after returning to Kyoto."
After careful consideration, Mu Yun decided to go to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing to find out.
Xue Qing hesitated and said, "Since Madam thinks there is something wrong with the farm, why don't my subordinates take my brothers to check in first? Before leaving, my eldest son told me to tell me... I have to take good care of you and not let you make any mistakes. If you want to go in person, my subordinates will be frightened..."
Mu Yun understood his concerns.
Now that she is pregnant, even if she has force, it is difficult to prevent people who are interested from grasping her pregnancy weakness and specializing in it, so that she has no power to fight back.
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, "If you are not at ease, it's okay for me to stay in the mansion. But, be sure to find out this matter and not miss it."
Seeing that she did not insist on going, Xue Qing felt relieved and said, "My subordinates and others will definitely live up to the entrusted wife."
However, Xue Qing did not expect that it was precisely because of his pleas and concerns that Mu Yun stayed in the capital alone and fell into danger.
However, this result was unexpected by everyone.
After all, who would have thought that in the huge capital, a large number of bandits would emerge under the feet of the emperor and the prince, causing panic in the city.
The next day, Xue Qing set out and took the eight masters of the Water Pavilion selected by Fang Si and five or six servants from the Jiang Mansion to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing.
When a group of talents arrived at the Tianzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing, they saw many guards in Sikong Fu's mansion patrol and march in front of the village.
Xue Qing and his men took the shortcut road from the back mountain of Tianzhuang and slipped in. As soon as he went there, there was no news.
Mu Yun was waiting in Jiang Mansion, but he was not informed by Xue Qing and others for a long time.
She looked forward to waiting for a full five days, but the dozen people who were walking in a vast way seemed to disappear out of thin air overnight, and there was no news.
Two days later, the guards and imperial guards of Dongdaying and Xidaying in the suburbs of Beijing presented urgent reports to the emperor at the same time.
The horse bandits who have been active in the suburbs of Beijing have evacuated the mountain village stationed outside Beijing overnight for some reason, and their destination is unknown.
The guards, the city defense forces and even the imperial guards carefully searched and searched along the hills of the city, but they were nowhere to be seen.
The horse bandits in the suburbs of Beijing were insidious and cunning. During the reign of Emperor An, he had already camped in the deep mountains in the suburbs. The ridges were easy to defend but difficult to attack. For many years, the guards and the city defense forces in the capital struggled hard to fight against them, but they only forced these horse bandits deeper into the mountain, and did not eradicate the disaster.
Therefore, there are many hidden dangers left outside the capital. High officials and nobles often pass by this place and are attacked by horse bandits and suffer heavy losses.
The court sent people to clear the enemy several times, but no matter how many soldiers they sent, they could not be arrested.
As long as a horse bandit escapes by chance, the thief bandits in the village will be like weeds, and they cannot be eliminated, burned, and killed.
Officials and bandits have been obsessed with for many years, but this matter has not been resolved yet.
Now, these horse bandits suddenly disappeared out of thin air, which naturally attracted the attention of the government and the public, and made the emperor anxious.
The emperor sent Weiwei Chang Yu and Yue Luo to lead the imperial guards, and cooperated with the generals and commanders of various tents to leave the capital and go to the suburbs to investigate the mountains around the mountains.
There was no result for three consecutive days.
In the capital, from nobles and princes to small people, everyone is in danger, for fear that the cunning and changeable horse bandits will suddenly emerge from a certain place in the suburbs of Beijing and rob and rob.
This incident caused heavy security in the capital, and officers and soldiers patrol everywhere in the suburbs.
After the incident of the horse bandit, Mu Yun became even more worried about Xue Qing's situation. He couldn't eat or sleep all day long. He ordered the servant to drive his horse to Siyinfang to ask about the news about Xue Qing.
However, after half a month passed, no news came out in the fields in the suburbs of Beijing.
It is obvious that the inner and outer cities are just separated by a wall, but it seems like it is thousands of miles away.
The horse bandits' nest was completely copied by the city defense army and the guards.
