Chapter 118: Walking the Water
"Nonsense! When did the master carry the cage into the door! Chen Zixiu scolded angrily, kicked open the door and walked out. Wang Ying was tightly guarded by the side, but in the eyes of outsiders, he had a high-spirited evil slave face, his nostrils squinted at the people below, and said loudly: "My son-in-law is the son of Jing'an Hou!" Who of you dares to make a mistake! Don't get back now! Carefully annoyed the Hou Ye, so that you can't eat and walk around! β
They chartered a guest house, the main building is a two-story small building, three rooms in a row, and Childe's room is naturally in the middle of the second floor. Now I look down condescendingly, and I can see the number of people and horses below and the combat power clearly. If it is to be fought, it will be a fierce battle.
Chen Zixiu's heart tightened slightly.
There was a small sobbing sound in the room, which sounded like a woman's voice.
Chen Zixiu frowned, turned his face sideways and ordered Wang Ying. "Tell Xiao An to get dressed and don't come out, don't be frightened."
Wang Yingsheng went. After a while, a woman's panicked voice came from the room: "Gong, Gong...... Slaves and maidservants must serve their sons well. "Okay, since Childe told you to stay here, you can stay honestly! Don't make a mess of Childe! The woman's sobs became weaker.
Wang Ying turned around and stood beside Chen Zixiu.
There were a lot of people standing downstairs, and there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, all of them "thieves" dressed in black, who were mourning and crying out in pain. There are a lot of red and black stains on the courtyard wall and floor tiles, and there is an unpleasant smell of blood wafting in the air, which is mixed with the sweat and body odor of more than 100 people, which is disgusting. At the gate of the courtyard stood a sturdy man, holding a machete, which should be the general soldier Zhang in the mouth of the little official, who was confronting the man in black.
All the people on Chen Zixiu's side withdrew to the corridor, fully guarded, and they were clearly distinguishable from everyone below.
Zhang Zongbing lifted his eyelids, swept Chen Zixiu's eyes, and said arrogantly: "You said that you are the son of the Hou Ye, but the little official of the post house said that you are in a gang with these thieves, how can you believe that you are called this general soldier?" β
As soon as the words fell, I saw the two of them running out of the west wing of the courtyard and reported loudly: "Report!" Lord Commander, there are a few large mahogany boxes in the west wing, which contain a lot of silk silk and jade treasures, which are the lost items reported by the merchants who were robbed a few days ago! The subordinates also found the young lady's ornaments and handkerchiefs! As he spoke, he handed over something wrapped in a pink embroidered handkerchief, and when he opened it, he saw that there were several gold hairpins and bracelets and other things.
Chen Zixiu secretly rolled her eyes.
Vulgar! Such a vulgar solution can also make them come up with it! Presumably, I just got out of Chenxi County, and this side was arranged in advance! No wonder Wang Ying asked why there were a few boxes in the west wing when he checked in, and the little official replied that it was the cloth utensils that needed to be used in the post house, because this guest house was rarely used, and most of the rich and powerful people who came and went to the guest house would rush to the city before sunset, and would not stay here, and those who missed the hour were mostly ordinary travelers who could not afford to live in this independent courtyard, and those things had been locked in the wing, and if they wanted to use the wing, he would immediately vacate it. I kindly said "just stay overnight, don't bother", it turned out to be waiting for them here!
is also careless, he should have emptied everyone and everything according to what Wang Ying said!
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom!
Chen Zixiu looked sarcastic, took off the jade pendant on his waist, and threw it to the other party. This is the haode that his father prepared for each son, the size and style are similar, one side is the word of the owner of the jade pendant, and the other side is the Chen family crest. An eagle leaps over a mountain stream or something, which means flying yellow and soaring to the clouds. Only the eldest son is different, the head and color of the jade are better than the other sons, there are cloud patterns at the feet of the eagle, and pine trees are carved between the mountain streams. Presumably, the clan elders and the family members of the clan branch also have a similar one to their own, and the people here will not know it.
Chen Zixiu's mood was a little complicated. I didn't expect that when I needed to use this jade pendant, I thought that I would never use it again after entering the palace...... He also hid a jade lock close to him, which was given by the emperor himself. This can't be shown in any way.
Mr. Zhang stared at Yu Pei, his face was a little bad.
Unexpectedly, I really met the son of the Chen family.
What to do? How can this play continue?
Think about the prefect's instructions, and then think about your future - Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth and took the jade pendant into his arms! With a wave of his hand, "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people!" is the son of Hou Ye, before the case is clear, he has to ask Chen Gongzi to go with Zhang! A certain duty is in the body, and I hope that the son will forgive, and a certain person will definitely come to the door to apologize afterwards! β
Chen Zixiu was dumbfounded!
Daring! Too bold! Who exactly gave them such guts! They have already reported their identities, and they still dare to frame them with black mouths and white teeth!
"Mr. Zhang! Have you figured it out? Chen Zixiu stared at the other party and asked through gritted teeth.
Mr. Zhang's face sank, "Take it away!" "It's non-negotiable!
Chen Zixiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly wanted to laugh.
The emperor's male favorite, without the palace, is nothing!
What would his expression be if he knew he was in prison?
"Wait!" Wang Ying suddenly spoke, "Dare to ask the chief soldier, where did the robbed merchant you said meet the mountain bandits?" When? When? β
After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Zhang knew that the other party had thought of an excuse to exonerate, sneered, and said: "The case is serious, and I can't wait to announce it before clearing your suspicions, so as not to make it convenient for the thieves to collude." Ladies and gentlemen, please! Although the tone was not good, he no longer shouted to arrest and take away, but respectfully pleased.
Wang Ying sneered, "Dare to ask General Zhang, which general is under his command?" β
Mr. Zhang was stunned, did the other party still know their general? However, the general was not there, and he directly received the prefect's letter before leading the troops out...... Could it be that the other party knows that they have no military order to send troops privately?
Scared into a cold sweat at the moment!
Wang Ying didn't deceive them, but he was originally a soldier and knew the military system under the jurisdiction of the state government, but he set up a general and a deputy general and dozens of general soldiers, since Xiao Qiang, the deputy general, was in Chenxi County, and let them go, I thought that tonight's incident would not be his instructions. The civil and military attachΓ©s have always been at odds, and when the emperor selects people, he will definitely arrange for the generals of the opposing camps to be stationed in the city, and will not let the prefect be alone. Then, it is very intriguing who this general soldier has received.
"No more nonsense! I think these thieves must be deliberately delaying time because of their weak hearts! Maybe what's going to happen later! My lord, do it! β
A voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, Zhang Zongbing came back to his senses, and just wanted to move, when suddenly another exclamation came:
"It's out of the water! The outer courtyard is watery! β
Everyone looked at the fire that was rising from the ground, and they only stayed for a moment, and immediately shouted and went to fetch water with buckets and basins!
