Chapter 692: Initiating a case of conspiracy
Cheng San was frightened, this errand was only sent out after the chaos in Chang'an, and it was really not easy to eat a bite of the official family's food, so he also cherished this hard-won opportunity. But now that he heard something he should not have heard, he was so frightened and apprehensive that he longed to slap himself a few times, why should he be so curious to listen to their conversation? If he knew nothing, he would not have known such a terrible plot.
Even if the abolition of the crown prince is not an earth-shattering event, it will definitely be able to set off a wild wave up and down the government and the opposition. Now the people in Manguan do not know, Li Yu, the king of Guangping, performed outstanding in the battle of Chang'an to defend the city, and he is the identity of the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, and it is a sure thing to be established as the prince.
Feeling that the courtyard was not a place to stay for a long time, Cheng San got up and wanted to leave, but collided with a person who suddenly entered the courtyard, and the things in the person's arms fell to the ground and scattered all over the ground.
"Are you blind?"
The man who was hit was full of anger and scolded Cheng San.
Cheng San was already frightened by the six gods at this time, and he was going to sneak away unnoticed, but now he was hit squarely. He lowered his head, couldn't make amends, and quickly leaned down to pick up the things scattered on the ground in a panic.
When those things were in his hands, Cheng San suddenly realized that these were all gold and jade artifacts, and he felt that they must be priceless just by feeling it, and then he looked at a sandalwood box next to him, which had been broken in half at this time.
"The villain should die, the villain deserves to die, the villain doesn't have eyes......"
Cheng San suddenly realized that the problem now was not just that he didn't dare to listen to the words, but that the broken utensils in front of him were not something he could compensate for.
"Do you damn it, do you know who this stuff is for? Tell it and scare you to death......
At this moment, someone in the hall suddenly shouted.
"Is it Chao Jinwu? Come in, what's the noise outside?"
The man had to glare at Cheng San viciously, and scolded in his mouth:
"I'm waiting for you, I'll find you to settle this account when I see my godfather!"
With that, Chao Jinwu strode through the courtyard and into the hall. Looking at the back of the man who didn't enter the house, Cheng San suddenly reacted, although this person was born burly and only about thirty years old, he didn't have a beard, and he was obviously a eunuch!
These eunuchs sneakily took so much property, could it be that they really intended to rebel?
Cheng Sandeng was sweating and sweating, and felt that he was really unlucky, he was just a timid and cautious person, and even the conflicts between neighbors were always treated carefully, and he refused to make an enemy. Now it's good that I suddenly learned of this earth-shattering rebellion, do you think you didn't hear it, nothing happened, or go to the city to report it?
As soon as the voice of the denunciation popped out of his heart, Cheng San was like falling into a land of ice and fire, suddenly sweating profusely, and suddenly trembling.
Rebellion is a major event of raiding the family and destroying the clan, looking at the appearance of these eunuchs is by no means the kind of people who do not plan secrets, that is to say, they are very likely to kill themselves and destroy their mouths, thinking of the wives and children at home, I can't help but feel sad from it, and sigh again and again.
What kind of world is this? I have just experienced that cannibalistic catastrophe, and now I am involuntarily involved in a major case of rebellion.
Forget it, let's just pretend that you haven't heard anything, it's a big deal to take your wife and children to Longyou's cousin's house to avoid the limelight first, and then come back when the limelight is over......
Between the battle between the heavens and the people, Cheng San suddenly found that a person riding a donkey at the official road looked like his wife and brother, he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, isn't this his wife and brother?
"You, why are you here?"
Far away, Cheng San's wife and brother shouted:
"Brother-in-law, my sister gave birth, gave birth, big fat boy, eight pounds!"
"Raw, born?"
Cheng San only remembered that his pregnant wife had been pregnant for ten months, and the delivery period was not just in these two days? However, the joy was short-lived, and immediately he was full of sadness.
The news brought by his wife and brother was like a sledgehammer smashing his body trembling, if it was just a family fleeing, but now there is a newborn son, and on the way to escape, nine times out of ten he will die. The Cheng family is already thin, the ancestors had a great disaster in the early years of the reign of the Empress Wu, and all branches were tossed and scattered, this newborn is his second son, how can he be willing to watch him suffer from the fatigue of the journey?
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister gave birth, gave birth to ......"
When his wife and brother saw that he was stunned and didn't speak, they greeted him again and again.
Cheng San was forcibly pulled back to reality, and he wanted to ask him to report the case to Jingzhao Mansion, but when the words came to his lips, the thoughts rose sharply.
At such a time, no one except the father and the son can be gullible, and how can they fake their hands to others?
So, he forced his spirits and laughed:
"I just remembered another very important matter that I haven't cooked yet, why don't you look at it here for me for half a day, there are still some things in the warehouse that have not yet been completed, you can pick up some that you need, remember not to be obvious!"
After the war, Chang'an was short of materials, but anyone who managed the material warehouse was a great fat difference, and he could justifiably take away the things within the reasonable consumption share to subsidize the family.
As soon as his wife and brother saw such a good thing, they patted their chests and promised:
"Brother-in-law, wait and see, let's make sure this Lou Tingyi is cleaned and tidy!"
Cheng San briefly explained a few words, and then pointed to the courtyard house:
"There are distinguished guests living there, don't go over if you have nothing to do, disturb people!"
My wife and brother didn't know why, and asked with curiosity in their eyes:
"Why, this bird doesn't Lou Tingyi can still live in the distinguished guests?
Cheng San raised his face and pretended to be mysterious:
"You know the rules, don't ask if you shouldn't!"
After admonishing again, Cheng San rode his wife's and brother's donkey onto the official road to Chang'an. Until he left Lou Tingyi, he immediately whipped the donkey's buttocks again and again, and the donkey spread its hooves and ran eastward in pain.
Ten miles is not far away, but it is not close, but it is already afternoon, and it is about to reach the time when the curfew will fall to the city gate, and if the hour is missed, will it be difficult to wait until tomorrow?
As soon as he thought of this, Cheng San's heart was even more anxious, poor donkey under his crotch, tired mouth full of foam, before sunset, he finally saw the towering tower of Chang'an. However, it was not until he arrived at the city gate that he was desperate to find that the city gate had long been closed.
In despair, Cheng San almost cried. However, he immediately saw that there were teams of men and horses outside the city, and his heart was immediately cold. Could it be that there had already been a mutiny in the city? Otherwise, how could the city gates have been closed early?
That's the banner of the Shenwu Army!
In the eyes of the people, the Shenwu Army is the mighty army of the imperial court, how can it participate in the mutiny?
Cheng San's heart rose with a flame of hope again, and a whip was thrown on the donkey's buttocks, and the donkey, who was almost tired and vomited blood, was frightened and rushed out again.
"Stand still in front, don't go any further, the Shenwu Army is exercising ......"
Sure enough, some soldiers had already warned loudly not to move forward.
Hearing that it was a Shenwu Army exercise, Cheng Sanxin was a little calm, as long as it was not a mutiny, he quickly reined in the donkey, and responded loudly:
"I, I am the post official of Lou Tingyi, yes, there is an urgent military situation, and the military situation wants to see Doctor Qin!"
Qin Jin wears many hats, in addition to the official of the imperial historian, there is also the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu envoy, and then the general of the Shenwu Army. Therefore, it is reasonable for him to ask to see Qin Jin at this time, but it is not easy to ask for a meeting with a lowly post official to see an important minister of the imperial court, although it is not whimsical.
"Doctor Qin is busy with official business, how can you just see him?"
Cheng Sanyuan didn't plan to see him as soon as he asked, otherwise he wouldn't be Sanpin's important minister, so he almost cried on the spot.
"There is indeed an emergency military situation, and it is a major matter related to the society, and it must be seen!"
Cheng San gritted his teeth and insisted, and when the other party's soldiers saw him so insisting, they said:
"To tell you the truth, Doctor Qin is not in the army at this time, and he can't see him now if he wants to, our Zhonglang General happens to be in the army at this time, and I can take you to see Zhonglang General!"
Cheng San was suspicious in his heart, he only believed in Qin Jin, Dr. Qin's reputation was a world away from what he thought a year ago, who didn't know that if it weren't for Dr. Qin's dedication to the public and his desperate stay in Chang'an, he was afraid that Chang'an would fall, not to mention, even the sky in the Tang Dynasty would change!
Anyone can mutinied, only this righteous and thin Doctor Qin is absolutely impossible to mutiny!
Cheng San wanted to insist on it again, but after thinking about it again, the Zhonglang General is also a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, even if he can't compare to Doctor Qin, he must be a close confidant of Doctor Qin, and it will be much easier to see this Zhonglang General first, and then see Doctor Qin!
"It's so good, there's Lao Tongyu!"
The soldier told him to wait, and then he galloped away. Cheng San couldn't help but secretly sigh, the Shenwu Army was really different, and he treated them so politely, if he had changed the forbidden army on the side, I am afraid that he would have been driven away without saying anything!
After about a quarter of an hour, the soldier rushed back and led Cheng San into the military formation. He shrugged his nose, feeling the stench of burning sulfur in his nose, and the further he went, the stronger the smell became, and white smoke drifted from east to west around him.
Cheng San stuck out his tongue secretly, not knowing what drills the Shenwu Army was doing, which always gave people a sense of mystery that was difficult to fathom.
