Yang Fan knocked Liu Guangye out with a kick and nonchalantly patted his trouser leg, saying to Hu Yuanli and Sun Yuxuan, "Brother Hu, Brother Sun, let's go back to the inn. I still have something to discuss with the two of you!"
Song Wanyou looked at this domineering imperial envoy who acted as though no one else was around and whispered to Song Chumeng, "Uncle, what should we do?"
Song Chumeng said, "Accompany him back. Since this imperial envoy Yang isn't fake, as the host, we have to welcome him. Let's go back and prepare a banquet to welcome him back. "
Song Wanyou pouted to the side and said in a low voice, "There's another imperial envoy over there, what should we do?"
Niu Yilang hugged Liu Guangye's head and raised his head, shouting miserably at him, "Magistrate, do you still have water?"
Song Wanyou shook his head woodenly.
Song Chumeng took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Looks like this imperial envoy Yang is even more domineering than this imperial envoy Liu, we can't afford to offend him. However, even though imperial envoy Liu was beaten into a sorry state by imperial envoy Yang, it's only a contest of martial prowess. It's still unknown who will win this battle between the two. Us Song Family should just watch and not get involved. How about this, I'll accompany imperial envoy Yang back and you stay behind to take care of imperial envoy Liu. "
Song Wanyou said, "Alright, let's do that. Then … what about these soldiers? "
Song Chumeng thought for a moment and covered his mouth with his hand, coughing lightly. He said to Song Wanyou, "Back then when we lent him these soldiers, we already said that as long as official business doesn't end, these soldiers will be at his disposal. Now that we're taking them back, isn't it obvious that we're going against him? Don't pay any attention to them. From the moment we lent them to him, they're at his disposal. Everything has nothing to do with our Song Family, remember! "
Song Wanyou understood tacitly and hurriedly nodded.
On the other side, Yang Fan wanted to pull the saddle and mount the horse. Hu Yuanli and Sun Yuxuan followed his lead and instinctively wanted to take action as well. The Miao woman who ran out of the crowd to cry out her grievance was anxious. Their savior had come, but now that their savior was leaving, what should they do? Liu Guangye was violent by nature. Once he woke up, how could he not vent his anger on them?
Just now Sun Yuxuan had saved her twice and even took a lash for her. In this Miao girl's heart, this refined Han official was the best among all the Han people. She immediately ran forward and pulled Sun Yuxuan's sleeve and timidly called out, "Han official, what should we do?"
"Oh …"
Sun Yuxuan's hand was on the saddle, and one of his legs was already in the stirrup. He only came to his senses when he heard the sound, and quickly withdrew his leg and turned around. Yang Fan's violent beating just now had caused Liu Guangye to faint twice in just a moment. Their brains really couldn't adapt to such a huge change, and they almost forgot about these people.
Sun Yuxuan turned his head around and looked at the Miao woman seriously. Just now when Sun Yuxuan saw that Liu Guangye was about to resort to violence, he was in a hurry to save her and did not get a clear look at the Miao woman's appearance. He only glanced at her and felt that she was rather delicate. Now that he took a closer look, he was instantly stunned and was slightly infatuated.
Actually this Miao woman's face was like the full moon, her eyebrows like the stars, her skin was as white as milk. No doubt she was beautiful but Sun Yuxuan had been in Central Plains Dafu and the Imperial City for a long time. He had seen countless beauties. Be it in terms of figure or looks, he had seen many beauties like this Miao woman. His horizons had been broadened and he would not have lost his composure like this.
But, women were like water.
Water is an extremely soft substance. It is shaped according to its form and has endless transformations. It will change into whatever kind of vessel is used to hold it.
The Miao land's mountains and rivers nourished the land and water, causing the Miao family's daughters to have a different kind of beauty. The silence of the mountains caused the Miao women to be elegant and refined. The Wu and Chu culture caused them to have a kind of orchid heart. That graceful and graceful figure, the tinkling silver ornaments, the Miao embroidery on the sleeves of their clothes, brought out a special kind of beauty of this woman.
That kind of Miao family's daughter's special charm was something that he could not find in the entire Luoyang.
Sun Yuxuan was stunned by this Miao woman's beauty for a moment. He then realized that he was being rude and quickly looked down. He coughed and when he turned to Yang Fan, he regained the appearance of a righteous and awe-inspiring official. He used an official tone and said, "Yang Langzhong, these are the Xie Man people who were captured by Liu Guangye, what do you think …"
Yang Fan had just mounted his horse. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "These are all witnesses. I want to investigate Liu Guangye's abuse of the law and will need to ask them some questions. Bring all of them back."
Sun Yuxuan was overjoyed and repeatedly agreed. He turned to the Miao woman and coughed. He tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, "Erm, I have not asked for your name?"
This Miao woman did not care if her name was pretty or not. She did not mind telling others her name. After all, names were meant for others to call her. She replied graciously, "My surname is Hu, my name is Hu Fei!"
Sun Yuxuan clapped his hands and praised, "Fei Fei, very fragrant. The days go by Fei Wei, the months come and go. Good name, good name. "
Hu Fei raised her wrist and sniffed, but she did not feel that it was fragrant at all. But then she was suddenly enlightened and said, "You, this Han high-ranking official, your nose is very sensitive. I have worn this sachet for a long time, the fragrance has already dissipated, you can smell it. Over there … "
Hu Fei timidly cast a glance at Yang Fan and said in a low voice, "That Han high-ranking official, is he willing to save us?"
Yang Fan was looking at Niu Yilang with a straight face, asking for the imperial edict and Qianhe back.
In Hu Fei's opinion, Liu Guangye was no different than a demon, a hundred times more frightening than the legendary demon that they were going to get rid of on the thirteenth of the seventh month, the 'Eradicating Evil Festival'. But this demon had to encounter a wicked person, he was beaten so miserably by that Han high-ranking official surnamed Yang. Although that Han high-ranking official was not a bad person, he was a vicious person, so she was somewhat afraid.
Sun Yuxuan repeatedly said, "Of course, of course. It's just that … we want to ask you some questions, so that we can also collect evidence of Liu Guangye's crimes and help you bring him to justice. So right now, we still cannot let you leave. Miss Hu, can you tell your tribesmen to be at ease and come with us? "
Hu Fei straightforwardly replied, "Of course, you … you are a good official, I hope you can uphold justice for us."
Speaking till here, not knowing what sad memory she had recalled, Hu Fei's eyes were glistening with tears, suddenly she felt dizzy.
Sun Yuxuan's heart ached when he saw this, he quickly puffed out his chest and said, "Don't worry! We will never let off Liu Guangye, this kind of traitor who brings calamity to the country and the people! "
Miss Hu Fei smiled gratefully at him with tears in her eyes, turned around and explained the situation to her tribesmen in Miao language.
Sun Yuxuan's eyes looked down and landed on Miss Hu's white cloth leggings, he felt that the pair of calves under the girl's pleated skirt was also delicate and cute, making his heart itch. Suddenly he thought that he was not a man who had seen a woman for the first time, he actually lost his composure like this today, it was indeed somewhat abnormal, he could not help but laughed involuntarily.
…
When Yang Fan, Hu Yuanli, Sun Yuxuan and the rest left, those Miao men and women who were captured were brought away.
Yang Fan did not ask those soldiers to escort them, according to Sun Yuxuan, these so-called captives were either women or children, there was no need for anyone to escort them, General Maqiao and the other four men's five sabers were enough.
Song Wanyou asked the soldiers to carry the unconscious Liu Guangye and stayed far behind Yang Fan and the rest. A large group of soldiers followed behind them, the heads on their spears were all unloaded at the side of the morgue, prepared to send people to transport firewood and burn all the corpses.
Although Yang Fan brought a large group of people back but the Song family could still accommodate them. This big mansion of the Song family was the front and back mansion, there was a large area of space around the main building complex that was enclosed into the courtyard but the Song family could not accommodate such a big place, many places were empty, it was just a patch of wild grass overgrown land, it would not be a problem to accommodate thousands of people.
After returning to the Song family, Yang Fan only greeted Song Chumeng briefly and talked for a while before asking the host to leave and discussed some official business with Hu Yuanli, Sun Yuxuan and the rest alone.
Hu Yuanli angrily said, "Liu Guangye has already killed more than nine hundred vagrants in the barbarian province, he also wantonly captured many Miao boys and girls, he raped and pillaged in the Miao stockade village and we do not know how many people he has harmed. On the way here, we received news from the inn along the way that Wang Deshou killed more than seven hundred vagrants in Lingnan East Road, the other few imperial envoys went to different places and killed between three to five hundred people. And without exception, they all demanded bribes without restraint, but if they refused, they would pin the crime of being an accomplice to the rebellion, everywhere they passed, there was a foul atmosphere. "
Sun Yuxuan added, "This is only the news we heard on the way here, now we do not know how many more evil deeds they have committed!"
Yang Fan said solemnly, "Their evil deeds cannot be carried out for long, Yaozhou has rebelled, Lingnan has also rebelled, the people's anger, although the Son of Heaven lives deep in the Nine-layered Imperial Palace, he already knows, I am afraid it will not be long before this thunderous fury falls on them!"
Sun Yuxuan exclaimed, lightly slapped his forehead and said, "When we arrived at Yelang, there was a courier who came to deliver a secret edict, because it was sealed with wax, His Majesty also indicated that it was for you. We dare not open it, we do not know the details of the edict, I will go get it! "
Yang Fan said to Hu Yuanli, "Brother Hu is the Supervising Imperial Censor, familiar with the law. I will leave the matter of questioning those 'captives' to Brother Hu. We must get the truth of Liu Guangye's scourge, the fact that he used soldiers as bandits! "
Hu Yuanli nodded solemnly and said, "I will go now!"
After Sun Yuxuan and Hu Yuanli left one after another, Yang Fan slowly paced a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, ordered the Long Wu Wei soldiers guarding outside the door, "Invite the Commander of the Horse Brigade here!"
Maqiao had just finished settling those Miao people, although they were all women and children, Maqiao still sent over a dozen soldiers to watch over them, to prevent them from roaming around carelessly. After the arrangements were made, he rushed to Yang Fan's residence, halfway there he met the soldier who came looking for him.
Maqiao entered Yang Fan's room, saw Yang Fan giving him a look, and closed the door tightly. Turning his head to look again, Yang Fan had already walked into the inner room, Maqiao immediately followed.
Yang Fan walked into the inner room, waited for Maqiao to follow, then slowly turned around, stared at him and said, "Brother Qiao, do you still remember what you and I said on the green mountain outside Tiemen Town when we were escorting the Princess to Chang 'an?"
Maqiao scratched his head, smiled helplessly and said, "Brother, we have talked a lot on the mountain, can you give me a hint?"
Yang Fan also could not help but smile, the serious look on his face slightly reduced.
"This trip to Chang 'an is naturally very free and unfettered. As for the inspection of the vagrants, you and I are of one mind, who cares what kind of bird people they are, if we find a reason, we will kill them! "
The words Yang Fan said were exactly what Maqiao said to him, even the tone was imitated perfectly.
Maqiao's eyes brightened, "You want to kill that bird Liu Guangye?"
