Beitian Horseshoe Disease Chapter 36 The battle at the gate of Jingfu
Just when Zhao Yi was living a day of reading and meditating alone in Yunmeng Pavilion, Jingfu ushered in a good show.
The peculiarity of this good play is that none of the core characters in the story appear, but this does not affect the opening of the play, nor does it prevent the excitement of the play.
Later a day after Zhao Yi was summoned into the palace by the old King of Chu, Junshan Cheng ordered Zhaoming to come to Jingfu with a team of soldiers, and he was accompanied by the boss of the Drunken Wind Building, whose surname was Jin, and he had a very businessman's nickname called Jin Abacus.
The owner of the Drunken Wind Building rarely shows up, but the name of his golden abacus is very famous in Junshan City and even in the entire Jingxiang land.
Junshan City ordered Zhaoming to come to Jingfu for only one purpose: to take people.
The one who opened the door was Bing Gong, the old butler of Jingfu, who saw the Junshan City Ling Zhaoming, who was dressed in armor and had an indifferent face, and the soldiers with swords behind him, but he was not frightened, but bowed down and greeted politely.
didn't see the expected panic, but made the Junshan City Order Zhaoming, who took advantage of the situation, extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he snorted coldly, and said coldly: "This city order received a report, saying that someone in your Jing Mansion was wantonly making trouble in the Drunken Wind Building, and beating people to serious injuries, this city order will bring the troublemakers back for interrogation, and ask the old housekeeper to call people out." ”
The old butler Bing Gong was alone at the gate, without the slightest intention of backing down, and after listening to Zhaoming's words, he smiled and said, "Oh? There is such a thing? I don't know who the city commander wants to arrest my Jingfu?"
The attitude of the old housekeeper Binggong made Zhaoming, who was already a little frustrated, even more uncomfortable, he stared at the old housekeeper coldly, forced forward with a momentum, and said coldly at the same time: "This person's name is Zhao Yi, the city order has been ascertained, he lives in your Jing Mansion, and please don't embarrass the city order to handle the case." ”
Every sentence of Zhaoming is not out of business, and he is very measured, reasonable and reasonable.
The old butler Bing Gong took the lead, secretly clenched his fists with both hands, met Zhaoming's compelling momentum, and pretended to be surprised on his face: "Lord Cheng Ling said that it is our aunt, is this true?"
Seeing that the old housekeeper dared to compete with him, Zhaoming was furious in his heart, but he still looked calm and calm on the surface, he beckoned, and the boss of the drunken wind building, Jin Abacus, hurriedly walked forward with a smile, first nodded to Zhaoming, and then bowed to the old housekeeper Binggong, really looking like a businessman who is exquisite, amiable and wealthy.
"Boss Jin, tell me, who made trouble in your restaurant yesterday and injured people?" Zhaoming said.
Jin Abacus said with a smile: "If you go back to the city, Lord Ling, the name who injured someone in the store yesterday is Zhao Yi, who said it himself on the spot, and the people present later confirmed it." ”
Zhaoming nodded, then looked at the old housekeeper Bing Gong and said, "You heard it, hurry up and call Zhao Yi out, otherwise, even if your Jingfu is harboring criminals, you will be punished for the same crime." ”
The old housekeeper Bing Gong saw that Zhaoming looked like he would not give up without taking the oath of someone, and he also put away the smile on his face, and said with a straight face: "Lord Cheng Ling, don't button your hat indiscriminately, my aunt went to the Zuifeng Building yesterday, but he didn't make trouble, but was drenched all over with wine and vegetable juice, and one of his friends was also injured." ”
Zhaoming obviously didn't know that there were still people who were injured, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Since that's the case, then let Zhao Yi go back to the City Order Mansion with me to find out the truth, right and wrong, and this City Order will deal with it impartially." ”
Zhaoming has two intentions, if Jing Mansion is willing to hand over Zhao Yi and let him take it away, as long as he arrives at the City Command Mansion, how to deal with Zhao Yi, it is not up to him to have the final say.
If Jing Fu refused to hand over Zhao Yi, then he would have a reason to keep making trouble.
Whether Jingfu chooses to hand over or not, he Zhaoming has the initiative.
In this confrontation at the gate of Jingfu, both sides have hosts behind the scenes.
In the Zhao Mansion, the old minister was pruning flowers and plants in the courtyard of the backyard, and the old housekeeper Fu Lao was waiting with his hands hanging on the side.
"Ming'er took someone to Jingfu?" asked the old minister.
"Back to the master, the eldest prince has already brought someone to Jingfu with Boss Jin of the Drunken Wind Building. ”
After being silent for a long time, the old minister who was carefully pruning a camellia plant said: "Ming'er went to Jingfu just to make a move, just to make a show, it would be better to be able to hold Zhao Yi, but with Jinghu's shrewdness, I can't get any benefit from Ming'er." ”
The old butler listened attentively and did not interject.
Lao Guoxiang seemed to be talking to himself: "The key is conspiracy, doesn't his Jing family want to protect Zhao Yi......?" Didn't they all want to suppress my Zhao family all the time? Then I'll let them have a long memory, my Zhao family is not what they want. ”
The old minister spoke calmly, but it was more terrifying than gritting his teeth.
The old minister stopped what he was doing, stood up and looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Fu Lao, go and tell them that they can work, when they can do it, how they do it, I don't care, I just want the result." ”
"Yes, I'll notify immediately. Fu Lao bowed and answered.
"But tell them, don't keep me waiting. The old minister added.
"Yes, sir, I will bring the words. ”
In the hall of Jingfu, Jing Hu sat in front of the desk drinking tea, and was reading a book of soldiers in his hand.
Opposite him sat Jing Lan, dressed in a brocade robe, who was silently boiling tea, not looking up at her father.
"Dad, I'm afraid Bing Gong can't stop them, right?" Jing Lan finally couldn't help but ask.
Jing Huyan didn't leave the book, but said casually: "When you can't stop it, Daddy will go out." ”
Jing Lan let out an "oh", and went to add tea to Jing Hu, but her mouth muttered: "The one who causes trouble hides as a shrinking turtle, bad boy!"
Jing Hu didn't seem to hear Jing Lan's soft complaint, he put down the book in his hand, took a sip of the tea in front of him, frowned and said: "According to the character of the old minister, there should be more than this trick, there will definitely be a secret hand, but what will he do?"
"Father, the old prime minister won't send his killers to kill that kid with a knife, right? Jing Lan pouted.
Jinghu listened to his daughter's words, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said, "Lan'er, from this moment on, you have to protect Zhao Yi." ”
Jing Lan said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, it's not so easy to want that kid's life." ”
Jing Lan remembered the situation when Zhao Yi killed the snake in the Nameless Canyon that day, and snorted coldly in her mouth.
At the gate of Jingfu, the old housekeeper Bing Gong saw that Zhaoming's tone softened a little, and his tense face also relaxed, and said: "Lord Cheng Ling is not bad, but it is not a coincidence, my aunt was called into the palace by the prince last night, and he has not returned to the palace until now." ”
In fact, Zhao Yi was summoned into the palace by the old King of Chu, and the Zhao family already knew about it, but they didn't believe that the old King of Chu would leave Zhao Yi in the palace for the night.
Seeing the old butler Bing Gong say this at this time, Zhaoming immediately lowered his face and said in a scolding tone: "The old butler has blocked the city order to arrest criminals three times, I don't know what his intentions are? You are just a subordinate, and you say so much, the city order is already very patient, get out of the way for me!"
The group of soldiers behind Zhaoming pulled out their swords three inches and placed them across their chests, making a look of "kill on the spot if blocked", and the atmosphere at the gate of Jingfu suddenly became tense.
The golden abacus like Maitreya Buddha, seeing this, a smile flashed in his eyes.
I had heard that this old housekeeper of Jingfu was unusual, and when I saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation.
As a subordinate, with a few words of understatement, he blocked the dignified Junshan Castle Order from the gate and made it helpless, and finally had to resort to strong measures.
"I said, Binggong, why do you bother Lord Cheng Ling? Besides, as a victim, I always have to listen to General Jing say a fair word. Jin Abacus stepped forward and smiled.
What he said was to remind Junshan City Order, don't do senseless entanglement with a subordinate in Jingfu, it is not good and he loses his identity, and he has to find the main master in Jingfu.
"Yes, I'm a minister in the same palace as General Jing, I believe he won't bend the law for his uncle's sake, right?"
Zhaoming, who can do the Junshan City Order, is not stupid, and he reacted immediately.
"I don't know why Zhaoming's virtuous nephew came to my Jingfu so excitedly?" Jinghu's voice came from inside the mansion.
I saw Jing Hu, the commander of the Chu Di Infantry Army and the head of the Jing family, walking out of the mansion slowly with his hands on his back.
The formidable power emanating from Jinghu's body made Junshan Chengling Zhaoming, who was standing proudly in armor, suddenly feel a little short of breath.
The majesty on Jing Hu's body is completely different from that of his father's old prime minister, the majesty exuded by his father makes him feel yin and cold, which makes people shudder, and the power on Jing Hu's body is upright, which makes people feel awe.
"I've seen General Jing! The lower officials are here to arrest the criminals who are making trouble, and they also ask General Jing to make it convenient. ”
Zhaoming's expression became more respectful, and his tone of voice was not as aggressive as before.
After Jinghu walked over, the old butler Bing Gong silently stepped aside, bowed slightly, and looked respectful, which was very different from the expression he had just faced with Junshan City Ling Zhaoming.
Jinghu's face was calm, and he nodded slightly: "The virtuous nephew asked the son-in-law to go back to assist you in the investigation, which was also within the scope of the matter, but it was really not a coincidence, the son-in-law went to the palace last night, thinking that he had a good conversation with the prince, and he was stayed overnight by the prince, and he has not returned to the mansion so far." ”
Zhaoming listened to Jinghu's words, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and his heart suddenly became a little flustered, originally he thought it would be an easy thing, but he didn't expect accidents to appear frequently.
Jin Abacus, who was standing beside Zhaoming, observed his words and knew that this seemingly shrewd and capable Lord Chengling had reached the point of being in a dilemma.
The momentum came violently, and it became a defeated rooster in a few rounds.
The owner of the Drunken Wind Building, who was easy-going on the outside but really shrewd in his heart, sighed secretly, and nodded to Jing Hu with the face of a businessman: "The villain Drunken Wind Mansion boss Jin Abacus has seen General Jing. ”
Jing Hu glanced at him and looked away again.
Jin Abacus didn't care either, and still smiled like a pug: "General, the villain is also a victim of this incident, since Aunt Zhao is not in the mansion, the villain will implore the general to make it convenient and let the other perpetrator, Sun Jingluo, follow the city commander to the city order mansion and explain the truth of the matter clearly." ”
Jin Abacus knew that when Zhao Yi was beating Zhaohua last night, he made such a big move, he hid in the dark and watched at that time, knowing that the cause of the incident was because of that weak scholar.
"Sun Jingluo?" Jinghu wondered.
Jin Abacus scolded secretly in his heart, and still smiled: "Yes, he also participated in the trouble, and the guy in my store saw him out of the Drunken Wind Building yesterday, and after returning to the inn, he entered Jingfu." ”
Jin Abacus is worthy of being a treacherous and cunning businessman, who speaks exactly and does not give Jinghu any chance to defend and deny.
Jinghu turned his head and asked the old housekeeper Binggong: "Binggong, is there a person named Sun Jingluo in our house?"
The old housekeeper hurriedly replied: "Master, you forgot, it was Mr. Sun, who lived in the mansion last night, who followed Master Xie back to Canglang Academy this morning, or did you send him out of the gate?" ”
Jing Hu smiled, nodded and said, "Look at my memory, forget about this, yes, that Mr. Sun is a senior disciple of Lord Xie, and he has already followed Master Xie back to Canglang Academy." ”
Now, even the shrewd and meticulous golden abacus is helpless, it seems that the other party has already thought of countermeasures, and the old minister is still confident, thinking that this time the Jing family must suffer a big loss.
Jing Hu put away the smile on his face and said calmly: "Virtuous nephew, I also let people know about the matter of Drunken Wind Building, the cause of the matter, presumably both the virtuous nephew and this Boss Jin know, it was Brother Ling Zhaohua who bullied Mr. Sun first, and the son-in-law asked a few words because Brother Ling poured wine and food on him, and Brother Ling Zhaohua instigated his entourage to beat people, and the son-in-law made a move." ”
Speaking of this, Jing Hu's tone of voice changed, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face: "Of course, no matter what, the son-in-law doesn't know the severity of the attack, it's always wrong to hurt Zhaohua's nephew, and I also asked the nephew to go back and tell the old minister that Jinghu plans to go to the house tomorrow to visit Zhaohua's nephew, and the contemporaneous son-in-law will make amends to Zhaofu." ”
At this point, Zhaoming has no reason to persist anymore, not to mention that even if he continues to persevere, he will definitely not be able to get any benefit in the face of Jinghu.
Zhaohua put away the style of the city commander, saluted Jinghu with a fist, and said: "The little nephew must tell his father that since Zhao Yi is not in the house, the little nephew will come back another day." ”
Jinghu nodded, and then said to the old housekeeper Binggong: "Binggong, send Zhaomingxian's nephew and Boss Jin on my behalf." ”
The old housekeeper stepped out of the gate of Jingfu with one foot, made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Chengling, Boss Jin, go slowly!"
Zhaoming turned around and glanced at the golden abacus, waved his hand, and led the soldiers away in a hurry.
Before leaving, Jin Abacus did not forget to bow to Jinghu and Binggong, which was really thoughtful and harmonious.
