Vol 3 Chapter 276: Black cave

When Qi Ning returned to Hou Mansion, Tang Nuo had been taken back from Yongan Hall to Fu Zhong. This time, in order to find a prescription for the antidote, Tang Nuo was very hurt, and it was inevitable that he would have to rest for a few days.
It was Duan Canghai and Zhao Wu wounded, went out to trace their own traces, and now they have returned long ago, but Duan Canghai and others have no trace, and they can only arrange someone to find Duan Canghai and his party.
Fortunately, the guards of Jinyihou Mansion have their own marks. After leaving the city, they will leave some marks on the way that are not easily noticeable, but they are easy to catch up with.
It was supposed to lead to a catastrophic catastrophe. After one day, it was considered to have been completely eliminated. Qi Ning was able to relax completely. This night, he had a good night's sleep.
By the next morning, it was the palace that sent people to pass it on. Qi Ning cleaned up a bit before entering the palace, thinking that the emperor wanted to know the progress of the epidemic.
After entering the palace, when he arrived at Yushufang, he found that there were more than a dozen ministers in the library, including Zhongyihou and Huainan Wang.
When Qi Ning came in, Lu Xiao, the military assistant, was standing in the middle, and seemed to be reporting something. After Qi Ning came in, all the ministers' eyes focused on Qi Ning.
Qi Ning saw a person standing under Lu Xiao opposite him for nearly fifty years. The black beard fluttered, tall and thin, and his eyes were not squinted. His appearance was quite handsome, but he felt quite familiar and suddenly thought of this person. It is similar to Dou Lianzhong by six or seven points. Do you think this person has become Hushu Shangshu Dou Kui?
When he saw Qi Ning coming in, Long Tai's eyes were bright, but his expression was still very calm. After seeing Qi Ning, he stood at the position of Zhongyi Hou according to the previous position, but this time he didn't see Wu Xiang Hou Suzhen's figure. Yesterday the method of detoxification came out. Wu Xianghou should have been detoxified, and now he should have recuperated in Fufu.
The ministers did not speak, Longtai motioned to Lu Xiao to continue, and then Lu Xiao continued: "If you don't kill it quickly, I'm afraid that it will lead to a large-scale rebellion in other Miaodong. In the opinion of the minister, it is to kill the chicken and the monkey."
Qi Ning just thought that this Lu Shilang was sending a reprimand to enlist and suppress the Black Lotus sacred church, thinking that this guy was firm-willed, but Anau was rescued by the Swing Yi in the Shenhou Mansion, which was a great deal for the court. The excitement, and gave big reasons such as the main battle group like Lu Xiao.
He could not help glancing down, only to see that Ximen Wuzhen was under his head, and he was calm, when he looked at the past, he also looked at him when he saw Ximen Wuzhen, the two eyes met, Ximen Wuzhen With a slight smile, Qi Ning also grinned reluctantly, but thought that Lao Tzu was held hostage in your house of princes last time. You don't have to give a gift for this old thing to come and see?
"Zhongyihou, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Qi Ning suddenly heard Longtai talking and withdrew his mind.
Zhongyi Hou said: "Emperor, the veteran has always thought that the weapon of the soldiers is less than a last resort, and it should not light up the soldiers' front. The Huamiao Black Rock Cave is among the Miao people's seventy-two holes, which is also considered to be a powerful Miaodong. He also made great contributions, but this time it happened, did he still send someone to figure out the situation first? "
Qi Ning was stunned. He thought Lu Xiao was admonishing to send troops to the Black Lotus Church, but listening to Zhongyi Hou's meaning did not seem to be aimed at the Black Lotus Church, but to deal with the Black Rock Cave in Huamiao.
He knew that the black lotus sacred religion originated from Hei Miao. When did this Hua Miao cause trouble again?
"Lord Hou Ye, all the discounts have been sent, and the lower officials thought that things were already clear." Lu Xiao said: "Anyway, beheading the officials of the imperial court is the great reason. That is also a rebellion. If the imperial court Turning a blind eye to this matter, other Miao Dong saw that the court was so reacting, thinking that the court was weak, and the courage would become bigger. In addition, the black lotus church would provoke it, and it would soon cause a catastrophe. For those barbarians, just You can only kill the chickens and monkeys and kill the Black Rock Cave. The other caves of the Miao people will certainly be deterred by the court. "
Qi Ning was surprised, thinking that the Huamiao Black Rock Cave actually beheaded the officials of the court. This was really not a trivial matter, and he couldn't help but ask: "Master Lu, the black rock cave beheaded the officials of the court. Is there solid evidence?"
Lu Xiao knew that Qi Ning had just arrived and was unclear about the matter. He nodded slightly and then said to Longtai: "Emperor, the messenger sent by King Shu is very clear about this matter. Is he summoning him to make a detailed statement?"
Longtai looked grim, saying: "Let the messenger come in and say clearly."
When the messenger of the King of Shu was sent to Yushufang to see him, it didn't take long for him to see a messenger hurriedly came in. After coming in, he dared not raise his head and was led to the front by the eunuch. He knelt to the ground and knocked: "The villain Jin Guanwei Xiaowei Xu Guanfeng, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." The forehead is on the ground, the rises, and the burly figure is lying on the ground like a big toad.
When he first came in, Qi Ning recognized it at a glance. Xu Guanfeng was the Lieutenant of the Chuan Bing who met at the wine shop on his last trip back to Beijing.
"Xu Guanfeng, the rebellion in the Black Rock Cave, you will now make it clear what you know." Lu Xiao said with a deep voice: "If there is a trace of mistakes, it should be severely punished."
Xu Guanfeng did not dare to raise his head, but just pouted his and said: "The villain dare not deceive me in the slightest. Emperor Qiyun, Heiyan Cave is a Huamiaomiaodong living in Heiyanling. There are Liuzhai, Liuzhai and Liuqi together. Thousands. "
Lu Xiaodao said: "There is no need to introduce these. Heiyan Cave made contributions to the court, and the court has rewarded them, and they have been exempted from taxation for five years." He looked at Qi Ning and said: "This matter is known to the DPRK and China, and Jin Yihou knows everything about it."
Qi Ning frowned, thinking that Lao Tzu hadn't even heard of Huamiao Heiyan Cave before, how could it be so easy? Is this another matter of Laozi fart?
The loyal Hou of the old dragon Zhong said lightly: "Why did Heiyan Village behead officials?"
Xu Guanfeng said: "Heiyan Village has made contributions to the court, so it has always been a bit arrogant. Not only did they not take other Miaodong into their eyes, but also officials of the court, they did not care." After a pause, he continued. : "The court exempted them from taxation for five years. After the expiration, they still dragged on for several years, but local officials are not good to say much."
Huainan King said: "The collection of taxes is the responsibility of local officials. If it is tax resistance, it is tantamount to rebellion. Why dare not say it?"
Xu Guanfeng hesitated before saying: "Actually ... it's actually a bogey ..."
For a time, everyone looked at Qi Ning, and even the little emperor of Longtai also looked at Qi Ning. Qi Ning thought that it was none of his business. Moreover, he did not want to say anything about these court events, but he did not want Xu Guanfeng to take it seriously. When things touched Jinyi Hou, he couldn't help frowning, "What does this have to do with Jinyi Hou?"
King Huainan said with a smile: "Hou Ye didn't know that when the old man in Jinyi conquered Xichuan, because of the dangerous terrain of Xichuan, there were many passes, and he was once frustrated. Later, the old man contacted the Black Rock Cave of Huamiao, and the black rock cave helped the old. Hou Ye became the guide of the Chu army. They were very clear about the complicated terrain of Xi Chuan, and they could go deep into the hinterland of Xi Chuan to understand the intelligence. Black Rock Cave, the old Hou Ye ’s harvesting may not have been so smooth. "
Qi Ning suddenly realized.
At that time, the Li king of Shu was entrenched in Xichuan and became the emperor of Xichuan. After Xiao settled the area south of the Yangtze River, it was naturally impossible for Li to continue to be independent king in Xichuan, and Nan Chu and North Han struggled to compete. Uncertainly, Nan Chu's flanks would wait if there was a knife at all times, so he sent Jinyi Laohouye to send troops to the west to calm down Xichuan.
Qi Ning was also clear about those past events. Knowing that Li was in Xichuan was also a stubborn resistance, the old Yiu Jinyi ’s expedition in Xichuan was not smooth at the beginning, and both sides were defeated. For this reason, Jinyi Hou Qijia and The Li family of the King of Shu was still not in contact with each other and was in full swing.
He also knows that the old Hou Ye later won a straight victory and went straight to the city of Chengdu. It was at that time that the Northern Han people helped Xichuan Li's big help. In order to cope with the Northern Han people, Nan Chu could only stop the expedition of Xichuan, and Xichuan Li When Shi got a respite, he did not continue to hostile to Nan Chu, but instead took the initiative to submit to Nan Chu.
Old Hou Ye was able to fight Lian Jie, but it was because some local Miao people were used by Old Hou Ye. Now it seems that Hua Miao Heiyan Cave is one of the ones that assisted Old Hou Ye to conquer Shu.
Qi Ning knew quite well about this past event, and at this time also understood why Lu Xiao and Huainan Wang would say that Black Rock Cave and Jinyihou are involved.
He didn't really care, but at this time he was on his own.
Xu Guanfeng said: "Heiyan Cave helped the imperial court at that time and worked under Jinyi Hou. Therefore, he always regarded Jinyi Hou as a backer. Although he was not a nobody, he was also very arrogant. After five years, local officials went to Heiyanling to collect taxes. However, they dragged on and on again, searching for various reasons, and dragging on for a few more years. Later, Master Shishi invited the cave owner of Heiyan Cave to go to Shishi Mansion and persuaded him, and only charged 70% of the original Heiyan Cave. Taxation, this only solved the matter. "
Qi Ning listened to Xu Guanfeng's words very smoothly, without any hesitation, just like endorsement, knowing that this guy had already blamed the report to the court before long.
"Since this is the case, why did the government officials beheaded?" Lu Xiao Shen Sheng asked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Xu Guanfeng said: "In the past few years of fighting with the Northern Hans, the court increased taxes in Xichuan by 20% Therefore, it is inevitable to increase taxes on the Black Rock Caves locally. However, the Huamiao people are fierce and brutal. Instead of increasing the taxes, the Black Rock Cave Master refused to pay the tax since two years ago. Three months ago, the local The tax collector went to collect taxes, they actually quarreled with the tax collector, and hurt the tax collector. Dan Baxian ordered Bai Tangling to make a contribution to the court in Heiyan Cave, so he personally took a few people to Heiyanling, but ... ...! "Speaking of this, he paused for a while before slowly saying:" But the person he went to was actually beheaded by the Black Rock Cave. "
There was a silence in Yushufang for a long time. The tall and thin official who was suspected to be Dou Kui by Qi Ning finally never asked: "It ’s just a hole for the Miao people. They violently resisted taxes and killed local officials. Why didn't Shishi send officials to arrest the Black Rock Cave Master in Beijing? "
Xu Guanfeng said: "Wei Shishi also wants to send troops, but ... Heiyan Cave has merits on the court and has a deep connection with Jinyi Hou. If you don't report to the court in advance, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Second, Heiyan Cave is in Huamiao There is great prestige among the people. If they are not handled carefully, they may cause chaos, so after discussing with King Shu and Master Shi Shi, the villain will be sent to Jingzhong to learn from it. "
Qi Ning saw that Xu Guanfeng's three sentences were inseparable from Jin Yihou, and could not help but sneer: "Xu Guanfeng, did these words teach you the words of King Shu, or the assassination of Wei? You will never come up with them yourself. Right? "
Xu Guanfeng only felt that the sound was very familiar. He could not help raising his head slightly and looked at it, only to see a young court official in Jinyiyudai staring at himself with sharp eyes. Xu Guanfeng saw the face and found that he was very familiar and suddenly body Shocked, his face changed greatly, and his eyes were full of horror.
