Chapter 57 It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God
Dong Ping shook his head and refused to think about it further, and instead whispered to the secret guard to make more money and enter the city early.
Not to mention how Dong Ping waited outside the city gate with mixed feelings, let's just say that Da Zongzheng, who has been on the cusp of the wind and waves recently, is lying in a warm room in the backyard of Zongzheng Mansion at this time, and since he fell ill that day, under the baptism of continuous acupuncture and decoction, he has finally recovered most of it. But he still left the affairs of Zongzheng Mansion to the two cronies, and if it wasn't an urgent matter, he told them to decide for themselves, and he insisted on pretending to be sick to the end.
On this day, Dazong was taking care of his wife and a few flower-like concubines, taking care of the life-saving soup and water, and his face was finally much better than a few days ago, and he was no longer so white that he was frightening, and he was happy to say that a few women who were not married to the sky were blessed by the Bodhisattva.
When the family was having fun, a little eunuch who was doing chores rushed over at a trot, breaking the rare quiet harmony.
Dazong was originally drinking the ginseng tea made by the concubine himself, but when he suddenly saw this, he was so frightened that he choked and coughed. His old wife hurriedly reached out and patted him on the back, hoping that he would be better.
Dazong just didn't breathe a sigh of relief, and felt that he had lost face in front of his wife and concubine, so he glared at him with some embarrassment and scolded loudly, "Dog slave, is it impossible for the sky to fall, so you are so reckless?" â
The little eunuch knew that he was in trouble, so he knelt down sharply, kowtowing and explaining the reason for his recklessness, "The adults spare their lives, the little ones didn't deliberately collide with the adults to take medicine." Be... It was Gong Zheng who summoned the little one to report to the adult, and Lord Dong sent the real murderer who killed the innkeeper a few days ago. After the little eunuch finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally looked at Da Zongzheng cautiously.
"Master Dong?" Dazong looked at the little eunuch with suspicion, obviously not remembering who this Lord Dong was.
"It's the younger brother of Princess Zhongshan." The little eunuch was clever enough to solve the doubts of Master Zongzheng.
Dazong, who was "seriously ill", heard this, and his body, which was originally half leaning on the bed, immediately jumped up like an electric shock, and asked in a sharp voice, "What did you say?" Why don't you say where people are now? After speaking, he didn't wait for the little eunuch to answer, and anxiously urged his wife and concubine to dress him and wear a hat.
Without waiting for the pick-up, he hurried out the door. is still a little concubine who is careful, covering her mouth and exclaiming, "Oh, the master hasn't washed yet." â
The eldest lady was helpless, and hurriedly sent the little eunuch to follow with her clothes. The woman could not enter the front hall, so she could only wait anxiously in the back hall.
In the living room of the front hall, Dong Pingzheng was sitting in the circle chair drinking tea with a calm face, in fact, his heart had already turned over now, and he was only looking forward to handing over these monks and the charges for a while, clearing his sister's suspicion, and leaving this ghost place. He has been dependent on his sister since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is needless to say, and he can't fly to his sister right away, and he doesn't want to delay for a moment, even if he can't do anything to accompany her.
In the same mood as Dong Ping, even more eager than him, except for Dazong, I am afraid that there is no second choice. He was not fully clothed, and his shoes were half-dragged on his feet, so you could see how anxious he was.
In the end, it was his age and the tossing and turning of the dead and alive in the past few days, before he could speak, his body shook first, and then the little eunuch who followed him was anxious, and Malier stepped forward to help Dazong who was sitting in the Taishi chair, so as to avoid the wolf who fell.
Dazong just didn't have a good time to stabilize his mind, looked up at Dong Ping, who was drinking tea calmly, and then remembered that he had just heard the news and ran over without bothering to freshen up, he really felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't rush Dong Ping's attack and could only pretend to be calm and cough twice, and angrily swept to a few monks who had been kneeling in the center of the ground, and asked sharply, "It's a few people you killed?" Come, take these people down and wait for the trial. â
A few monks originally thought that they would have the opportunity to kill people for themselves, and they told them a thing or two, but they didn't want Dazongzheng to give them a chance at all, so before they could speak, a dozen or so little eunuchs came up and dragged a few people away, and regretted it too late.
Dazong was disposing of a few monks in one go, only then did he remember that Dong Ping was still on the side, and hurriedly turned his head to greet him, "Lord Dong has worked hard all the way, and I ask Lord Dong to wait a while, and the next official will go to the quiet room to make amends to the princess Niangniang, blame me for being confused for a while, mistakenly believing Li Ermao, who apologized for his crimes, and wronged the princess." Fortunately, the truth is revealed today, and I hope that adults will not be strange, no strange. â
Dong Ping originally had a belly of evil fire, but seeing that Dazong was trying his best to please and flatter, he wanted to call himself a subordinate official even though he was in an official position above him, so he couldn't say anything, just put down the teacup and stood up and said lightly, "This official will go over with Dazongzheng." â
"Ah, then there is a hard trip for Lord Lao Dong." Dazong Zheng looked grateful and thanked him, of course, no one saw the corners of his mouth curl imperceptibly.
Dazong thought that he would send away Dong Rong, the great god, and even if he completely broke away from the whirlpool of this immortal fight, he didn't know that reality was always crueler than he imagined, and there was always a time when he missed it.
In the courtyard not far away, Dong Rong was holding a book, sitting on the bed and flipping through it. Since the last time two eunuchs died, Dazong Zheng was frightened and wanted to offer her like an old lady. Clothes, shoes and socks, toiletries, beds, pillows and bedding, eating and drinking are very complete. If it weren't for the poor condition of this house, and I couldn't go out and walk around at will, this day would be comparable to the palace.
Jia Yi hurriedly flashed out of the shadows and whispered how Dong Ping traced the clues and how Shun LĂŹ caught the murderer.
Dong Rong frowned when she heard this, and intuitively told her that someone was definitely meddling in this matter. After all, nothing was found in the previous few days, and when the vendors walking the streets and alleys provided clues, things went very smoothly, as if everything had been arranged, just waiting for Dong Ping to find out, it was unspeakably weird.
A Yixu also guessed like this, and said in a low voice, "Master, my subordinates think that even if someone uses means behind this matter, it doesn't seem to be malicious. â
Dong Rong nodded and said in a low voice, "Now that the shape is unknown, it is better to be cautious." Be flamboyant and be careful when sending messages. After that, she took a sip of tea, but laughed again, "Brother Ping has come to the door, and Dazong is afraid that he will be happy." But alas, this time it was going to disappoint him. Now I have a lot of cards in my hand, and if I sober those people up a little longer, they will really think that I am a soft persimmon. â
Jia Yi remembered that when he came in that day, Da Zongzheng's face, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "It's better to let him suffer more, I don't know how thick the sky is." â
Dong Rong was about to speak, but she heard footsteps in the yard, so she waved her hand, and Jia immediately introduced a dark place...
As soon as Dong Ping stepped into the courtyard, he saw two eunuchs guarding outside a locked room, and his eyes immediately turned red with hatred. Three or two steps up the steps, and shouted at the two eunuchs, "Hurry up and open the door!" â
The two eunuchs still didn't understand the situation, so they turned their heads to look at Da Zongzheng. Dazong Zheng couldn't wait to send Dong Rong's hot potato out immediately, where would he care about this little thing, so he hurriedly waved his hand and signaled the two eunuchs to open the door, and comforted Dong Ping with a flattering mouth, "Lord Dong, don't be anxious, the princess didn't suffer." â
Where did Dong Ping believe his words, his mind was full of his sister huddled in the corner and trembling. As soon as the door of the house was opened, he rushed in, and saw his sister sitting on a soft couch covered with brocade mats, with hot tea and snacks in hand, and a sable fur on her lap.
Seeing her younger brother's stupid look, Dong Rong couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Brother Ping, what's wrong?" â
Dong Ping came back to his senses, hurriedly walked to the soft couch and carefully looked at his sister's face, which was not as if she had endured hardships, and finally let go of the big stone in her heart, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I found the real murderer in the inn." I'll take you back to the palace! â
Dazong was standing aside, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said, "Princess Niangniang, I've been treating you slowly for the past two days." I'll let someone prepare a carriage and send you back to the palace. â
After that, he was about to order his eunuchs to get busy, but Dong Rong waved his hand lightly and said with a smile, "Lord Zongzheng is slow!" â
Dazong Zheng didn't know why in his heart, suddenly his eyelids jumped fiercely, and an extremely bad premonition hit his heart, and he tried his best to maintain this smiling face, and asked, "Princess Niangniang, but do you have other orders?" â
Dong Rong nodded, and said with a smile, "Lord Zongzheng, I heard that this time I killed the innkeeper and his buddy, and the person who found the handyman to frame the palace, is it a few Maitreya monks?" â
Da Zongzheng's eyelids adjusted faster and faster, swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and responded, "Hui Niangniang's words are exactly." â
Dong Rong slowly smiled and said with a cold face, "A few Maitreya monks have the audacity to frame the princess of this palace, don't you think it's funny?" I'm afraid there are still people behind them, right? Now that the palace is already living in Zongzheng Mansion, it is not ready to return to the palace for the time being. It's better to wait for Dazong Zheng to finish interrogating a few monks together, find out who is behind it, and completely return the innocence of the palace, and then go back to the palace. Otherwise, if there is anything that needs to be inquired about, this palace will have to come again, it will be too much of a toss. â
"Niangniang..."The more Dazong Zheng listened, the weaker his legs became, and he almost sat on the ground, begging, "Niangniang, please have mercy..."
It's a pity that Dong Rong didn't give him a chance to beg for mercy at all, and asked with a surprised face, "What is Lord Zongzheng doing?" This palace is just asking for innocence, which is also the original intention of the adults to review this case. Is it only allowed for others to sue the palace for murder, but not for the palace to ask for innocence? The law of Daqi, but there is a prince who breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. â
Dong Ping also understood his sister's plan at this time, although he somewhat disagreed with his sister's continued to live here, but seeing that his sister had made up her mind, and the food and accommodation were not bad, he stepped forward and hugged Dazong Zheng hard, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, Lord Zongzheng has always enforced the law strictly, and he will never let go of those people behind the scenes, and give my sister an innocence." âR638
