Chapter 54: The Palace's Visits {Collect}
According to Zuo Chen's thoughts, since the case of beating Sun Fuyin has been handed over to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, presumably the Criminal Department will come up with an explanation anyway, the main reason is that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been an incident in which a member of the imperial court was beaten with a stick, and the city was full of wind and rain.
The beating of the sticks between ordinary people is the outbreak of grievances, and the beating of the court members is dissatisfied with the court and a provocation to the emperor's authority, so the emperor is very angry and furious above the court, and the case must be solved within three days by the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.
Shangshu Li Ziqin was nervous, but secretly rejoiced, and the opportunity to avenge his youngest son Li Shuang had arrived. It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is indeed true! It has not been ten years yet, and Liu Shangwu's son was automatically sent to the door.
When I first got the news, I was planning to set a trap for Na Zuochen'er. Unexpectedly, Sun Fuyin was knocked with a stick. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it is to plant a false accusation, it will also put Liu Shangwu's son in shackles. Li Ziqin thought so, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
After the dispersal of the court, he immediately returned to the yamen of the criminal department, stepped up the deployment and arrangement of relevant matters, and the fake certificate still had to be prepared.
Li Ziqin hurried to make arrangements, and Zuo Chen, who felt that the situation was not good, went straight to Prince Qing's mansion non-stop. Wang Ping's stomach was slandered, and he had lunch at this time, and he rushed to the prince's mansion in a hurry, and the lunch was in the soup.
In fact, Zuo Chen didn't want to see the prince in a hurry, he thought that Sun Yongquan's matter would be handled by Shuntian Mansion Yin, but he didn't want to jump directly to the criminal department. This shows that Li Ziqin did something from it, and taking over this kind of thing is a hot potato, if there is no benefit or certainty, if you can't earn the credit, you will be complained by the emperor.
"Childe, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Youcai drove to Zuo Chen's side and asked quietly.
"Then Li Ziqin is in a hurry to avenge his son, we are slow to move, I am afraid that something will happen." Zuo Chen said worriedly.
"I don't see it." Zhang Youcai said disdainfully.
Zuo Chen turned his face and said gloomily: "After noon, you will naturally understand tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Wang Ping, who listened to only a few words in the back, thought, this time it was unclear to confess, what should I do if the incident happened. It's a good day, why did you start to be scared.
Compared with the Qing Prince's Mansion and the General's Mansion, there is not much difference in appearance, and the most significant sign is that the copper door nails on the Zhu Door are arranged in seven or nine.
Wang Ping stepped forward to hand over the post, and the three of them waited outside the mansion for a while, and the palace steward came to summon Zuo Chen, and at the same time arranged lunch for Zhang and Wang.
At this time, Wang Ping's face was finally a little relieved, if he was turned away from the mansion and waited, not to mention starving and suffering in the sun, thinking that the general really had an unusual relationship with Prince Qing, and finally felt a lot more at ease.
Entering the study, the prince sat behind the bookcase and looked at the book, drinking tea very comfortably.
"Grandpa, grandson Liu Zuochen greets you." As Zuo Chen spoke, he knelt on the ground and bowed three times and nine times.
Prince Qing, who was silent, raised his head and carefully looked at the half-grown child kneeling on the ground. Maybe it's because he's still underage, but his broad shoulders are relatively thin with a thin waist, long arms and long legs, which makes him look a little thin. After the salute, the slightly raised round face was immature and visible, and the corners of the mouth were slightly curved, full of smiles.
"You are a well-behaved child, and no child has ever called me grandpa when he sees me. Very good! Get up and speak. The prince stroked his beard and said with a smile. I thought to myself, this kid is very smart and very pleasing to people.
"Grandpa, grandson came all the way to Kyoto, and he smelled sour. It took two days to greet you, and I hope you don't be surprised. Zuo Chen said softly, looking at the prince with a smile.
When the prince saw Zuo Chen's eyes, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, it was rare for a ten-year-old child to have such a calm look. Listening to Zuo Chen's words, I thought in my heart, could it be that he was really the mastermind who knocked Sun Yongquan's stuffy stick?
Zuo Chen saw that the prince was a little distracted, the prince didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking. So, he said: "Grandpa, my grandson doesn't have anything to honor you, this is a little bit of my heart." As he spoke, he stepped forward and handed over a large gift box.
"Oh!" At this time, the prince also felt that he was distracted, and he responded and smiled slightly.
Opening the box, the prince's eyes widened, and he hesitated in his heart, why have these things never been seen? A fluffy stack. It's soft to the touch. A pale yellow and transparent stack, is it food? What's in the box? When I opened it, I saw that there were small wooden sticks with black heads on the tops.
The prince looked left and right, but he couldn't figure it out, raised his head and asked, "What are these ......?" Why don't you recognize the same? ”
Zuo Chen stepped forward and explained in detail the efficacy and use of towels, transparent soap, and matches.
"Yes, it's a good thing!" The prince's eyes lit up, and he fiddled with his hands and praised in his mouth.
At this time, the maid pushed the door into the study, bowed down and asked, "Lord, the princess asked the slave maid to ask you when to eat." ”
"Oh, go to the front hall now, prepare one more person's utensils, and you'll be there in a moment." The prince was still looking at his hand and said casually.
"I'll give them to your grandmother to try later. Well! She's going to love it. The prince said and took out two pieces of transparent soap, looked at Zuo Chen and smiled, and put down another one.
When Zuo Chen saw the prince's small movements, he didn't dare to laugh, and said softly: "Grandpa, take a few more pieces." When the bulk arrives in Kyoto, I'll carry a box for you. After speaking, he gestured with his hand to the size of the box.
"You kid counts when you talk! Dare to lie to me, be careful that I clean you up. As he spoke, he took out five pieces of transparent soap and two towels, and said, "Let's go, eat, and meet your grandmother." ”
As soon as she stepped into the threshold of the front hall, the princess Niangniang, who was already impatient, said, "I don't know what to do all day." Meals always have to be sent to call you, and it is grinding. ”
The prince didn't say anything, Zuo Chen knew that this was the princess, so he knelt down when he got closer, and knelt down three times and nine kowtows, calling the princess and grandma.
A big grandson fell from the sky, kowtowing and calling grandma. The princess's face suddenly became gloomy, and it was not easy to attack in front of the subordinates. Glaring at the prince with his eyes wide open, he meant, when did he have this eldest grandson? Don't give me an explanation yet!
The prince glanced at the princess, pulled up Zuo Chen, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Your grandmother is frightened by you." He turned to the princess and said, "Shangwu's son, if I don't call you grandma, I don't know what to call it." With that, he sat down on the stool.
patted the prince's arm hatefully, and the princess got up and pulled Zuo Chen by her side, and said, "This kid is really likeable!" How do you look so tall, aren't you only ten years old?" As he spoke, he touched Zuo Chen's head with his hand and looked at the prince suspiciously.
Zuo Chen didn't say anything, just smiled there.
"Come, Zuo Chen sit down beside me." The prince waved his hand, and did not follow the princess's words, handed over the things in his hand, and said, "This is the treasure brought by Zuo Chen, and it is a wash and bath product." ”
Seeing the hesitant look on the princess's face, Zuo Chen explained again.
The princess was obviously a realist, and immediately called the maid to bring the basin, and regardless of the prince's teasing, she washed her hands with transparent soap and looked at the soap bubbles in the basin.
Seeing the princess's joy, Zuo Chen complimented and said, "Grandma Princess, with this towel and transparent soap, it won't take long for her grandson's skin to be better." ”
"Stop playing, don't eat?" The prince urged.
The three of them were happy in their hearts, and they had a very pleasant lunch. Zuo Chen was the happiest, because no one asked him why he came to Kyoto alone. Otherwise, I really don't know how to answer.
returned to the study, because he had never had the experience of talking to a child, the prince felt very awkward in the face of Zuo Chen. Hesitating and not knowing what to say, he saw the gift box on the bookcase and asked, "Where are these things made?" Never seen before. ”
"When I go back to my grandfather, I made it by my grandson, and when I came to Kyoto, I was going to sell it as a store." Zuo Chen replied respectfully.
"You? Do it yourself? The prince looked at Zuo Chen, and began to travel above the nine heavens again.
Zuo Chen knew that this was the result again, and he was used to the shock he brought to others, and he sighed in his heart and had no choice but to respond and wait there quietly.
"I heard that your entourage injured Sun Gui?" Relieved, the prince didn't want to hesitate anymore.
"Grandpa, that guy deceived people too much, and the entourage couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him, who knew that he was so unresistant, and none of the two of them resisted the beating." Zuo Chen thought, sooner or later, it is better to explain it clearly, the prince of the province will be distracted again after a while, it is not to say it at night.
"It's really your kid who did it, it's really bold, do you know that this is a capital crime of killing your head?" may have thought about it in his heart, and the prince was not shocked by Zuo Chen's beating of Sun Yongquan's stuffy stick.
Zuo Chen was also a little surprised, thinking about it, it may be that the prince already knows a little news, and he is relieved.
"Grandpa, you can't blame your grandson entirely, that Sun Yongquan knew that he couldn't help me, so he went to Li Ziqin's mansion to borrow a knife. My grandson just taught him a lesson, and they didn't want to take my life viciously. Besides, the matter of hurting Sun Yongquan, the secret I arranged, no one knows about it? While telling the truth, Zuo Chen pointed the finger at Li Ziqin, believing that the prince would definitely be able to understand what he meant.
The person who wants Zuo Chen's life must be Li Ziqin, this is undoubtedly a thing, how can the prince not understand. I didn't care about thinking about Zuo Chen's depth, thinking about how to prevent Zuo Chen from falling into a dead end, and the prince fell into deep thought.
Zuo Chen knew that the prince would not give up on himself, no matter whether he asked. So, he quietly stayed by his side very interestingly, silently waiting for the prince to make a decision.
