Chapter 9 Victory and Victory Envoy
The person standing behind Chu Tianya is not someone else, but the old servant of his family, He Bo.
Looking at him standing less than five steps behind him with a crutch as usual, Chu Tianya was secretly shocked: When did he come to such an empty river bank? My vigilance has always been high, but I didn't notice it at all?
"Young master, it's me." Uncle He staggered closer on crutches, and his voice was as hoarse and deep as ever. He walked to Chu Tianya and stood one step. His dim and turbid old eyes were shining at this moment, looking at Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya also looked at him and said in surprise, "He Bo, how did you get here?"
"Of course, I followed the young master all the way." He Bodao.
Chu Tianya was more and more surprised. Among other things, Taiyuan Mansion had to close the city gate at night. He and Bai Xi and others relied on the military token extended by the horse to open the city gate, and then came out thrilling all the way - how did he, an old man with a crutch, "follow" him?
"What are you doing with me, Uncle He?" Chu Tianya asked suspiciously, "How did you get out of the city?"
Uncle He smiled, but said, "Young master, I'm afraid that they will hurt you, or you will encounter any troubles and accidents. The old man treated me well in my life and never treated me as an outsider or a subordinate; after his death, he only left you alone. Anyway, I won't let anything happens to you."
"Anything", these four words are said by the gray-skinned and disabled old man. Although the tone is plain and understated, it faintly reveals an irrefutable and domineering atmosphere!
"Bear Uncle He, do you... know all about it?" Chu Tianya asked doubtfully.
He Bo didn't answer, but just took out a small wooden box containing sugar cakes to Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya opened it and was shocked!
A bloody human ear!
"He Bo, you! ...What is this?"
"Young master, don't panic." Uncle He was still as steady and silent as a ten-thousand-year-old pine. He said in his hoarse voice, "Have you ever thought that Tong Guan can sit in today's position as a eunuch?"
Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Opportunity, talent."
"That's right." He Bo nodded and said, "The world only says that Tong Guan is a treacherous minister. In fact, if it hadn't been extraordinary, how could he stand out as a eunuch and achieve today's status? He has been in charge of military power for more than 20 years. He has been defending the western border and defending Xixia all year round to protect Guanshan. He has successively suppressed many rebellions such as Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River, and then led the army to the north to recover the 16 states of Yanyun... And no matter what his human means, there is no doubt about his ability.
"What does Uncle He want to say?" The suspicion in Chu Tianya's heart is getting deeper and deeper.
"I just want to remind you that don't underestimate Tong Guan." Uncle He said unhurly, "This little trick you use can be hidden from officials, but it is difficult to hide from Tong Guan. This man has been standing in the court for 20 years, and has experienced countless ups and downs. Intrigues and conspiracies are like a commonplace. Do you think he can be easily fooled by your trick?
Chu Tianya took a deep breath and looked at He Bo again with new eyes. "So He Bo wants to use this ear to get trust from Tong Guan?"
Uncle He nodded, "That's right. As the saying goes, if you want to see people, you want to see corpses. You only care about your best plan, but you miss the aftermath. Tong Guan asked you to kill people, but you didn't have a physical evidence to give back. How can he believe you?
"Then who can prove that this is Xue Yu's ear?" Chu Tianya was puzzled.
He Bo grinned and said, "The ears are not the face. There are tens of millions of people in the world, but there are only those kinds of ears. If you say yes, it must be. As long as you don't feel guilty, they will naturally think that this is Xue Yu's ear.
Chu Tianya suddenly said: That's right! According to the normal logic of thinking, it is indeed like this! ...This Uncle He is really an old man. It's not simple!
But Chu Tianya immediately thought of another question and asked, "Where did Uncle He get this ear?"
Uncle He smiled and smiled a little coldly and said, "I not only cut his ears, but also cut off his head and threw it into the Fen River and rushed away, and buried his body in a grass grave at the mass graveyard. If Tong Guan asks, you can show him the new grave. But you can rest assured that the old man will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. There is a damned person in the grave. Now it is the creation of his previous life that he can be buried.
"Who on earth did you kill, Uncle He?" Chu Tianya is a criminal policeman. Hearing from Uncle He, killing people is as common as killing chickens. No matter who he kills, his heart is already full of flavors.
"A flying eaves walk through the beam to transfer the house, specializing in adultery | ** Women harm countless people, evil damn people, damn people..." He Bo said this sentence, turned around, and walked away with the crutch.
Chu Tianya was stunned by suspicion. Looking at the ears in the cake box in his hand, he felt that the blood was more and more dazzling. When I looked up again, Uncle He was gone!
"This old man has such a strange hand! ...Is it true that in the Song Dynasty, there is the kind of light skill of flying eaves and walking walls as mentioned in film and television novels?" Chu Tianya looked at a string of footprints and crutch marks left on the sand by the river. After winding forward for more than ten steps, he suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and his heart became more and more surprised.
Seeing that it was not early at dawn, Chu Tianya had no time to think about it for a moment. He had to go back to the prison to see if Jiang Laosan had properly dealt with the aftermath. At that time, he would also go to Ma.
When I returned to the prison city, it was breakfast time. Jiang Laosan left a rich breakfast for Chu Tianya, and he has been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chu Tianya coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Taibao, how's it going?"
"If I go out in person, how can I make a mistake?" Chu Tianya carelessly took out the box and showed it to Jiang Laosan. Jiang Laosan was stunned at first, and immediately smiled happily and said, "This is enough to get a reward from Master Tong!"
"Of course." Chu Tianya also smiled and said while eating breakfast, "But your mouth is very important. Don't reveal any information to any outsiders. This night business is different from before. If it is publicized everywhere, be careful of your head!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the little man naturally wakes up and dares not talk nonsense." Jiang Laosan squeaked his mouth and responded repeatedly, and his eyes glowed, as if he saw a large pile of gold and silver falling from the sky.
After breakfast, Chu Tianya personally checked it in his cell again and found that there was indeed no flaw left, so he took a nap in the ear of the prison city. It was noon when I woke up, and it was time to make an appointment with Ma.
After careful consideration, Chu Tianya came to the prince's mansion. Ma Yan was very punctual, and he just arrived when Chu Tianya came.
This kind of thing is the most taboo to talk too much, so Chu Tianya didn't say much and directly presented the iron token with the box containing the ears.
Ma Yan opened the box with a blank face and only glanced at it. Then he quickly covered it and put it aside and said, "How many people are involved?"
"There are four people, including me." Seeing that Ma Yu was not suspicious, Chu Tianya took a deep breath in his heart. At this time, he replied, "One of them is my follower, and the other two are idlers on the street that I hired for money. For convenience, I asked them to pretend to be military men to go out of the city with me. After that, I pestered them to leave Taiyuan far away; moreover, they didn't know anything inside, but ran this cooli for me.
"So, you are quite careful." Ma Yan said with no expression on his face, "I think you are still clever and know a little general, so you can't continue to be buried in the prison city. Recently, a member of my subordinates, a horse army, died of cold and fever. Well, you will follow me in the future and take up his vacancy as a military envoy.
"General Xie Ma!" Chu Tianya was suddenly overjoyed: I didn't expect it to go so smoothly! Originally, I wanted to think about it, and even didn't hesitate to bribe Ma Yu in order to join the victory army!
"I will be in charge of the supervisor."
"Yes! - Xie Ma Dujian!"
Ma Yan still didn't have any expression and said, "The little prison with you is also brought."
"Yes!" Chu Tianya agreed, thinking that they didn't want us to stay in Taiyuan, and they would not chew our tongues in the future. That's right. Big shots always do things like this. The charity of a small officer who is very precious to the common people is not worth mentioning for them.
Although the Shengjie Army is a child's personal guard, it also belongs to the imperial imperial army. Every soldier in the army is a recruitment supported by the state. With the Song Dynasty, there are a lot of soldiers. Among them, the best treatment is the forbidden army under the direct command of the central court, followed by local army, township soldiers, and so on.
In the army's military formation, "du" is the smallest grassroots organization, each with 100 people. The military officer of the capital is called the head of the capital, and the head of the Ma army is called the "military envoy".
That is to say, from then on, Chu Tianya has also become a military attache. Although it is an office that can't be smaller, compared with the previous prison officials, from "officials" to "officials", his status has taken a qualitative leap.
"Come on." The horse shouted, and two pawns came out. Ma expanded and said, "Lead the Chu military envoy to the barracks in the backyard of the prince's mansion. What should you do? What should you do?"
"Yes!" The two pawns answered the promise and punched Chu Tianya, "Chu military envoy, please!"
Chu Tianya thanked Ma Yu and followed the two sergeants all the way to the barracks in the backyard of the prince's mansion. There are tens of thousands of Shengjie Army under Tong Guan's command, most of which are stationed in the military camp outside the city, and another 3,000 confidants were taken by him to stationed in the house as a personal escort.
Up to now, Chu Tianya still hasn't seen Tong Guan, and the supervisor Ma Yan also received him twice with a cold face. It can be seen that this matter is just "trivial" for Tong Guan and does not deserve his personal attention at all.
Two soldiers took Chu Tianya all the way forward. First, they went to the Changshi Yatang, handled the "military registration file" for Chu Tianya, and then led the military robes, leather boots, hand knives, guns and sticks and other items, and then went to the Ma Jundu Camp where Chu Tianya was located.
There is a shortage of horses in the Song Dynasty. They have always been infantry as the main combat force, and the horse army is also a relatively precious arms. Thanks to Tong Guan's long-time military power, he was a major general of the Song Dynasty. In order to resist Xixia and conquer the cavalry of Liao against them, Tong Guan's horse army was a little more.
The two pawns passed the order, saying that the new military envoy appointed by the Ma Dujian came to take office, so they summoned all the 100 sergeants up and down and formed a queue to meet the new envoy.
At this time, Chu Tianya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: Ma Junjun envoy? ... I have no problem with two-wheeled motorcycles, three-wheeled pedals and four-wheeled cars, but I have never ridden a four-legged horse!
"A horse army envoy who can't ride a horse? Why didn't Ma Kuan ask me in advance if I could ride a horse, but let me serve as the envoy of the Ma army?
But after a while, Chu Tianya understood the intention of Ma Yan.
It turned out that the Du Ma Jun, which Chu Tianya served as the capital, was only called Ma Jun. In fact, it was the logistics army in charge of logistics transportation and the supply of rooms. There is not a single horse in the stables of the capital camp, only thirty or fifty mules, which are only used to carry the heavy footpower when marching, rolling and grinding noodles and driving to purchase ingredients when stationed troops.
The only difference between such a horse army and the infantry is that they have more "oil and water" - they can deduct corruption from the army's food expenses and the food of livestock, Qianrick!
"Damn!"
Chu Tianya couldn't help but be a little annoyed: dogs look down on people! Unexpectedly, he gave me such a job of just eating idle food and specializing in corruption!
