Chapter 67: Alarm
"This ......" The officials glanced at each other, and one of the slightly higher ranks reacted quickly and ordered everyone: "...... I'll go and inform my lordship, you take down these people, and you can investigate them......" But before he finished speaking, he saw a group of black-clothed people scattering around like birds and beasts, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that the situation was not good, the second housekeeper of the Chen family also wanted to escape by car, but the bearing of the carriage during the fight was also damaged, and he was already carrying a carriage of silver, and he was so heavy that he couldn't move for a while, so he could only stomp his feet in a hurry.
The head of the government watched the gangsters flee, holding back a fire in his heart, and was afraid that Jing Zhaoyin would be liquidated afterwards, so he hurriedly led people to surround the Chen family and his party, for fear that there would be another moth.
There was such a big commotion outside the mansion, and Jingzhao Yin Zengjia was finally awakened, and without waiting for the head of the mansion to report, he went out in person to find out.
As soon as Zeng Jia stepped out of the threshold of the mansion, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. A large group of his men gathered around two carriages, the leader of which looked as if it were loaded with a cart full of silver.
I didn't care about any official authority for a while, and when I got to the carriage, I glanced at the Chen family and his party with a shocked face, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Lord Hui, there were some foreign bandits who wanted to intercept this silver, but they didn't know that this was the boundary of Jingzhao Mansion, as soon as the little ones opened the door, the group of people were frightened and fled one after another. As for the carriage, it seems to have been damaged in the fight......"
When the officials heard their own leaders say this, they didn't say anything, such a statement at least made Jingzhao Mansion's face brighter, otherwise if the adults knew that they were not doing their job well and let people escape, they would not have to reprimand them fiercely?
The people of the Chen family also listened silently, especially the second housekeeper of the Chen family, he knew that there was something greasy in it, but he didn't dare to say much, if he let this group of people know that he was a member of the Chen family, the life of his family would be really unsafe, and he still had to think of hiding the matter of this silver.
So he stepped forward, bent over, showed a humble smile, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, with the help of Lord Yin and the soldiers, the grass people did not lose their lives and money, and there are good officials like adults at the foot of the imperial city, which is really very different from those barbarian lands that are not weathered......"
He also climbed up from the bottom little by little, and he knew best what people liked to hear, and he was just a basket of flatterers like this.
Zeng Jia's face turned slightly pale, but he still refused to bypass it easily: "What are you using all this silver for?"
He rolled his eyes and simply confided the truth: "It's not a secret, the grass people are on an errand in the ticket number, and this silver is used for the turnover of the total ticket number transported from the north of the city to the west of the city." ”
"Oh?" Zeng Jia was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said, "Is it the Vieternity ticket number?" In the capital, there is only one with ticket numbers in the north and west of the city.
"Exactly, exactly. He took out a bronze plaque from his bosom, engraved with the word Vienna, which was the token given to him by the shopkeeper before, and was a token to facilitate his transport of the silver to the inside of the ticket number. Right now, it's a great way to prove your identity.
Zeng Jia took it and looked at it twice, his face returned to normal, waved his hand, and said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”
Chen Cong was overjoyed, and said two more polite words, and was about to order someone to push the cart away, but he heard a voice and said coldly: "Eh, didn't Fang Cai say that he was a member of the Chen family, why did he become the person with the Yongzhen ticket number again?"
He suddenly became a nameless fire, this voice is all too familiar, it is the spoiler who just shouted to attract everyone to come out to investigate! After luring people out, he did not show up for some reason, he was so busy dealing with them that he almost forgot about his existence......
Zeng Jia, who was listening on the side, changed his face and said to Changlu: "What you said is true? Also, who are you?"
Before Chang Lu could answer, he heard Chen Cong say angrily: "Nonsense, I'm just a little steward of the ticket number, where can I have anything to do with the meritorious family, and I will be framed for no reason!"
Changlu smiled when he heard this, but did not make a sound. After a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. Chen Cong turned around, and under the lights, the Chen family's carriages appeared in sight one after another. His face began to turn pale.
The leader saw Chen Cong, waved his hand, and said, "Steward Chen Cong, I have already transported the carriage according to your instructions." ”
Chen Cong was so angry when he heard this that he almost closed his breath. When did he ever tell him to say such things? He was telling them to do what he commanded, but these fools came at this juncture......
I also found that something was wrong, and when I went to look for the person who spoke up, he was already hidden behind the crowd and disappeared.
Zeng Jia carefully looked at the chasing carriage and found some clues. The first few cars have no logos, but the few cars behind still have some remnants of the Chen family's family crest. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is familiar with the family crests of the powerful families in the capital, and he will never be mistaken.
Seeing that the show had reached its climax, Changlu no longer delayed, hugged his fists at Zeng Jia, and confessed his identity: "...... It was a servant next to the third prince, who was originally out on an errand but was robbed by bandits on the way, and during the fight, he heard that the Chen steward explained his identity, but later he said that he was the person with the ticket number, which was inevitably a little strange. I was afraid that I would delay the big event, so I came out to remind the adults, and I hope the adults will not blame. ”
Chen Cong suddenly felt a cold swish on his neck. He thought that it might be someone from the Xue family who came to make a trip, but he didn't expect that the person who came would be the right-hand man of the third prince......
Didn't you say that the third prince had no intention of political affairs and lived a life of debauchery, what was going on? His mind was a mess, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Zeng Jia's mind moved when he heard this, and he glanced at his servants. The government officer understood, and led a team of officers and soldiers to investigate the carriage that had fallen behind.
The people who came after the Chen family had also discovered that the atmosphere was a little tense at this time, but the officers and soldiers moved quickly, surrounded them, and had to let them investigate.
Zeng Jia stared at the movement over there while secretly analyzing his situation.
Chen He knew that he was a member of the prince's faction, and it was also a well-known fact that he was suppressed by the prince's faction.
Speaking of which, he is very similar to Tang Xin's life experience next to Song Ge Lao.
is also from a poor background, works hard to read fame, and also has the talent to be an official, the difference is that Tang Xin was unexpectedly a few years later to get the blue eyes of a nobleman, and he has risen all the way, and now he is the most outstanding member of the princelings. And he, in the first few years, his career was quite smooth, and he ranked in the forefront of the official assessment every year, and he was also a Beijing official who had achieved the fifth grade in a decent manner.
However, because he offended a petty official of the prince's faction who was not of high rank but was born into a famous family, in the next seven or eight years, he watched one after another incompetent people whose political achievements were not as good as his and whose conduct was not as good as him rise up, and he could only live in a state of confusion. There's no hope.
