Chapter 77 Carjacking
The debts owed always have to be repaid, even Juan Hou, who was once the emperor, was no exception. On the way back to the mansion, his team was stopped.
As a marquis with only salaried salary but no fiefs, his entourage is really too large. There are 20 cavalry guards, 10 ceremonial guards from the Ministry of Rites, 30 Jingzhao Yin yamen, and 30 officers and soldiers of the city patrol officer. The more than 20 entourages sent by the Ministry, adding up to more than 100 people, are more pompous than the princes and kings who came to Beijing to worship.
It was such a team that actually met a group of people blocking the way for rewards.
The Northern Army was notorious in the capital, and they were rarely seen in the previous power struggles of the imperial court, but they were often seen shouting in the pubs and prostitutes.
The night before yesterday, they helped Juan Houhu drive away a group of troublemakers. They left quietly at the time, but then they came to ask for money.
In fact, they were already drunk, laughing and crying, some standing in the middle of the road, some lying on the ground, and those who didn't know thought they were a group of beggars in armor.
"If Emperor Wu was alive, they would have been beheaded to show the public." The Fu Cheng said bitterly that after Emperor Wu, Da Chu did not even have time to deal with the Northern Army after changing a few emperors.
"Okay, everyone knows that the North Army's slackness is the root cause of Emperor Wu's planting. Even if it is disrespectful, I dare to say so."
Yang Feng, who went to deal with the beggers, ran back in a hurry with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I can't control it, these guys are just rogues, and it wasn't these people who protected Juan Hou last night, they were fighting the Northern Army. The banner is here to deceive people. I am the eunuch, the inside of the master, the two are the prefect of the government, the commander of the government, and the outside, right?"
The two had no choice but to take up this thankless errand.
The most effective way to deal with the soldiers of the Northern Army is to break them up with sticks. Retire the rewarder.
The Fucheng stayed behind, shook his head vigorously, and sighed that it was not as good as it used to be, "The Northern Army used to be tossing around outside the city, but now it has entered the city, really... hum."
Yang Fengyan and the others walked away, came to the front of the car, opened the curtain, and said to the inside, "Come on."
Han Ruzi jumped out immediately.
Fu Cheng was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Marquis Juan, you are a thousand-dollar body, don't get to know a group of soldiers, we can set off right away."
Yang Feng stood in the middle, "Don't be careless, who knows if there are people in the northern army who are scheming, maybe this is a trap set up, please mount the horse, and take a detour back to the mansion under the protection of the cavalry guards."
Yang Feng's words seemed to be reasonable, but the palace chief was stunned for a moment. Marquis Juan had already jumped on Yang Feng's horse and said to the twenty cavalry guards, "You have been ordered to protect me. Now, come with me."
These cavalry guards saw with their own eyes that Lord Zhonglang was respectful to Marquis Juan, and they had no doubts. They immediately claimed that they were, and turned their horses and wanted to find another way with Marquis Juan.
At this time, Fu Cheng felt that something was wrong. Looking back, Fu Wei was leading his men to drive away the Northern Army on the road ahead. He had a huge advantage and could win soon, but it was too late to stop Marquis Wan.
"Wait a minute... I'm with you..."
Yang Feng hugged the mansion by the waist and said with a smile, "It's not too far from the Hou's mansion, what should you worry about, my lord?"
While the palace chief was still struggling, Han Ruzi had already run away some distance with the Xiao Cavalry Guard and turned south into an alley.
Han Ruzi didn't recognize the way at all, and when he saw Cai Xinghai standing on the corner of the street from a distance, he felt a little at ease, knowing that Yang Feng had arranged everything.
Cai Xinghai got on his horse and led the way.
The palace guards were divided into eight battalions. The common feature was that the clothes and armor were distinct. The cavalry guards were all gold-plated armor. They held spears and halberds more than ten feet long.
Huashi Lane was too close to the imperial palace, and Shuying Lane was already the Cui family's territory. Cai Xinghai led the crowd into Foyi Lane. The way was fast and slow, deliberately controlling the speed until a Northern Army knight ran towards him and waved to him. , Cai Xinghai began to move forward at full speed.
Han Ruzi suddenly had a thought, if Cai Xinghai led him into the house, he would be doomed this time. His mother warned him not to trust anyone. Since leaving the palace, he has believed many people one after another.
This thought only existed for a short time. Han Ruzi knew very well that if he wanted to do something, he had to take risks, and he had to use the strength of others. Too much suspicion would only make him a "lonely man" without power and power.
Foyi Alley is very narrow, barely able to accommodate two horses running side by side, and a team of more than ten people is walking in it.
Most of the people in the team were walking, and Han Ruzi was surprised to see two carriages.
Cai Xinghai scattered the walking entourage in front of him, and said loudly, "The car behind you will follow!"
One of the entourage was bold, "Who are you? I don't know what's in this car..."
"Of course I do, but don't you recognize us?" Cai Xinghai turned and pointed at the approaching knight.
The man recognized the attire of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, but not the Marquis Juan, and said blankly, "We are under the order of the palace..."
Cai Xinghai, like Yang Feng, is well versed in bluffing.
Han Ruzi arrived, jumped off his horse, ran to the first carriage, lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and it was Cui Xiaojun sitting inside, and he called out to him in surprise.
Time was running out, Han Ruzi nodded at her, put down the curtain, and got on the horse again. Cai Xinghai still led the way and galloped towards Baiwang Lane, forgetting to tell Xiaoqiwei that he would only bring a carriage.
These 20 cavalry guards are the official soldiers of the old guard. They are not the same as those who are named, and they will not show their doubts in their hearts. The boss said that they should obey the orders of the Hou Juan, and they will not ask a word. , consciously divided into two teams, and guarded the two carriages in the middle.
The driver was sent by the palace, and he just drove the car. Anyway, he followed Xiaoqiwei, and the accident had nothing to do with him, so the driver followed closely, not one step behind.
Stopping the car and disappearing, the whole process only took a short while. There were more than ten followers left in Foyi Lane. They looked at each other and suddenly divided into two groups.
Han Ruzi took the team to join Yang Feng and others, and Cai Xinghai ran away halfway.
Fu Cheng and Fu Wei were furious, but they couldn't get angry with Marquis Juan. Seeing that he was fine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw the two extra carriages, they felt puzzled.
"How is this going?"
Yang Feng asked the two seriously: "No one outside the House of Tien Hou can enter, but the family can."
"Uh... Of course, but Hou Juan's family..." Fu Cheng's face changed suddenly, and his voice trembled, "This, this is not good, there is no order from the boss..."
"Did the boss say that the Huanhou couple will not be allowed to reunite?"
The prefect of the house and the commander of the house could not answer, and they were stunned when Marquis Juan, Xiaoqiwei and two carriages had already passed by them, and Yang Feng also chased after them.
"I already said that this errand would be fatal, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!" Fu Cheng felt remorse and felt that in the morning he should try his best not to come to the Marquis Mansion to take office, but now he had no choice and said to the Fu Wei: " You follow, I'll go back to Zongzheng Mansion..."
Han Ruzi's heart was still pounding, and he said to Yang Feng, who was chasing after him, "Everything is going well."
"Go home and talk."
The team was already in chaos, except for the cavalry guards, who were still lined up neatly, and the soldiers sent by other ministries were in a hurry and ran behind the team.
When they arrived at Baiwang Lane, Yang Feng ran in front of the horse and ordered the side door to open wide, allowing the team behind to drive directly into the front yard.
Han Ruzi dismounted and came to the first car again. The driver was hiding aside. He lifted the curtain, looked at Cui Xiaojun and smiled, and said, "I'm home."
Cui Xiaojun was so excited that he couldn't speak, but nodded, his body became weak, and he got off the carriage with the support of Han Ruzi. The eunuch and the palace maids had been waiting for a long time, and immediately several palace maids stepped forward to greet the housewife.
There are also officials and slaves sent by Zongzheng's government in the mansion. They are so stupid that they dare not step forward.
Han Ruzi said to Cui Xiaojun: "You go to rest first, I will come later."
Cui Xiaojun held onto his hand, tears in his eyes, but he was still speechless. The nervousness and insecurity in Han Ruzi's heart disappeared completely, so he smiled again, "Even if the queen mother comes in person, she can't take you away. ."
Cui Xiaojun nodded solemnly, then let go of his hand and went to the back house surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs.
Han Ruzi boasted about Haikou, but he knew very well that the most important premise for him to keep his wife was that the Queen Mother would not meddle in her own affairs. Mrs. Cui stayed in the Southern Army and did not enter the city for several months, and would not make an exception for her daughter. Apart from these two people, he is not afraid of anyone else.
Yang Feng ordered the door to be closed, and was sending 20 cavalry guards to find a place to rest. Han Ruzi led a few eunuchs to the second carriage. He was so excited just now that he forgot to ask his wife who was in the car behind him. He felt a little regretful. You should be more calm and just leave the car in place.
Han Ruzi opened the curtain and saw a terrified face. As soon as they met, the other party was stunned, and he was stunned too.
"It's you!" They both shouted at the same time.
Zhang Youcai looked at him curiously, and was also surprised: "King of the East Sea!"
The King of Donghai was frightened and tried to hide back, "Where is this? Why did you bring me here? You are no longer the emperor, and you will not end well if you kill me."
Han Ruzi smiled, "This is my home. I didn't want to kill you. I didn't even know you left the palace. It was an accident."
The King of Donghai seemed to believe but not believed, and looked outside a few times. It was early night, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but once he calmed down a little, his reaction was quicker, "Oh, you are trying to rob my cousin and take me with you too. coming."
Han Ruzi put away his smile, "You didn't bully her, did you?"
"We got into the car separately. We haven't seen her face for several months. How could we bully you... You are too bold to rob someone!"
Han Ruzi began to think normally, "The queen mother sent you out of the palace, who does she want to make emperor?"
King Donghai snorted angrily, "We were all deceived, and the Cui family was also deceived."
