84: Night Calling
Before the three of them could discuss the result, Wei Ming knocked lightly on the door and stepped into the house, he bowed slightly, and said to Zhao Liang: "Rongfu sent someone to pass the word, and someone in the palace passed the decree, saying that His Majesty urgently summoned the Marquis of Guning into the palace." ”
Zhao Liang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at Rong Jiang: "It is estimated that Cao Bin couldn't bear it and went to the palace at night to complain." ”
Rong Jiang glanced outside at the sky, his little face wrinkled, he didn't speak, he thought for a while and got up.
He Qi saw her get up, and heard that it was summoned by the palace, so it was not good to stay in the British Prince's Mansion any longer, so he got up with her and went out.
But Zhao Liang deliberately sent her out of the house, followed her out of the door, and instructed her: "I entered the palace to see Your Majesty in a while, don't come hard, if he asks you why you visit Uncle Guo's courtyard at night, you will say that Guo Chengzhou said it, and I saw the first complainant enter and leave the Cao family's courtyard that day." ”
Rong Jiang paused, his face did not calm down, and he looked at Zhao Liang in confusion: "Lord Laguo went into the water?" If you ask your majesty tomorrow morning, won't you be exposed? ”
Zhao Qi didn't reply to her words, but turned his face to He Qi, who was following next to him, and asked him with a smile: "If it is you, are you willing to believe that this case was committed by Rong Min, or would you rather be dragged into the water by Gu Ninghou and thoroughly investigate and overturn the case?" ”
He Qi replied without thinking about it: "I'd rather ask Hou Ye to drag him into the water." ”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Liang raised his eyebrows at Rong Jiang, as if to say look.
Rong Jiang was puzzled for a while, and was about to open her mouth to ask again, when Song Ranglian's words suddenly flashed in her mind - Huang Fei's Ruyi Yin and evil things need to be nourished by virgin blood, so she understood, and chuckled with Zhao Liang: "Your Highness Xie mentions." ”
Zhao Liang saw that she understood, so he didn't say more, sent her out of the house, and instructed He Qi to send her to the imperial city, but not to let people see it, He Qi also bowed his head, and the two rode away.
After leaving this street, He Qi looked around, was a little relieved, and asked Rong Jiang: "His Royal Highness seems to be very partial to the general?" Seeing Rong Jiang turn his head to look at him, he looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately the night was thick, so he covered it up a little, and continued to speak for a while, "On the way back from Jiangbei, when the general was unconscious, His Highness took care of it all the way, and then I saw that the general's carriage in and out of His Highness seemed to be very arbitrary?" In my opinion, His Royal Highness is kind, but he is by no means a man who disregards the religion of dignity and humility."
"What do you want to say?" Rong Jiang'er was a little cold, and interrupted He Qi's words, "What time is it, do you think I have the heart to think about this?" Besides, His Royal Highness had already returned to Beijing for the Rong family, if I were not a member of the Rong family, His Royal Highness might not be willing to look down on me. She said this is actually a little weak-hearted, Rao is she is not open, but she can also feel it, Zhao Liang said that she is interested in her is not a joke, but now that He Qi is questioned like this, it is inevitable that she will feel embarrassed, so fortunately she interrupted him strongly.
When He Qi heard her say this, he was also a little stupid for a while, and then he raised his eyes, the gate of the imperial city was already in his eyes, he tightened the reins a little and stopped, and then said to Rong Jiang: "General, go quickly, and if you send it forward, you should call the guards guarding the door to find out." ”
Rong Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized his mind, and ran out with a hum, He Qi saw her enter the imperial city, and then stepped on the night to go home.
Besides, after Rong Jiang entered the imperial city, he handed Dabai into the hands of the guards guarding the door, and there was already a little eunuch waiting at the door, she followed the little eunuch all the way inside, and when she arrived outside the Qingfeng Palace, Wei Jin led her in.
As soon as he entered the hall, he first saw Cao Bin sitting firmly in the hall, Rong Jiang sneered with disdain in his heart, and respectfully greeted Zhao Heng, only got up after hearing the call, and made a flat bow with Cao Bin, but saw that he did not respond, but snorted disdainfully and turned away, and Rong Jiang did not care.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Heng in the palace frowned slightly, pointed to the position opposite Cao Bin and asked her to sit, and as soon as she sat down, Zhao Heng asked her with a smile: "Rongqing is okay tonight, oh?" ”
Rong Jiang lowered his head, his eyes purred a few times, and he said in his heart that instead of waiting for you to question me, it would be better for me to take the lead.
Thinking like this, she had already moved her body, knelt down sideways, kowtowed to Zhao Heng, and replied calmly: "The minister is guilty, I visited Uncle Guo's other courtyard tonight." ”
Zhao Heng obviously didn't expect her to come to such a play first, the playful look on his face was slightly restrained, he didn't distinguish between joy and anger, and he didn't call her anymore, and asked casually: "Say, why," he pointed to Cao Bin as he spoke, "Uncle Guo is also here, if Rong Qing doesn't have a good reason, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it today." ”
Rong Jiang scolded him in his heart, but his face did not show it, he still shrunk and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the reason why the minister visited the Cao family's courtyard at night is because Lord Guo told the minister a few days ago, and the first person who appeared in the Shuntian Mansion that day, Lord Guo had seen him enter and leave the palace of his uncle, so the minister would visit at night." ”
Cao Bin's face froze, obviously he had been seen by Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng had probably woken up a little, and the anger in his eyes was already visible, but Cao Bin didn't dare to raise his head, and Rong Jiang knelt again, so he was not discovered.
"Then what did you find out when you squires at night?" Zhao Heng suppressed the fire in his heart, and didn't ask Rong Jiang why he listened to Guo Chengzhou's one-sided words. Originally, when Rong Jiang said this, he was half-convinced, if he really wanted to investigate it, Guo Chengzhou was in charge of Dali Temple, and he was in charge of the criminal prison, and he still had this sensitivity to the case, and Rong Jiang could shirk responsibility, which was not interesting.
Rong Jiang straightened up, looked up at Zhao Heng, shook his head with an innocent face, and didn't speak, just hung his hand at his side, looking a little uneasy.
Zhao Heng was amused by her appearance, but he only sneered, and then stopped, saying in his heart that you are not afraid of thousands of troops, who are you coaxing to do this at this time? He thought that he had already thrown a glance at Cao Bin.
Cao Bin received it this time, and the panic just now was suppressed, looking at Rong Jiang who was still kneeling in the hall, he asked her with a sneer: "Lord Hou dared to break into my courtyard late at night with a word from Lord Guo, is it too unkind to take me as an uncle?" ”
Rong Jiang pouted, glanced at Cao Bin first, but ignored him, and turned to Zhao Heng: "The minister is also eager to investigate the case, since Lord Guo said so, he can't blame Uncle Guo for no reason, right?" The minister was confused for a while, and asked His Majesty to forgive her sins," she kowtowed again, straightened her waist and twisted her face to look at Cao Bin, with a smile on her face, "Please also ask Uncle Guo to forgive me?" ”
She looked like a scoundrel, and Zhao Heng didn't want to punish her for this, so he just reprimanded a few words, appeased Cao Bin, and sent them out.
After the two of them exited the Qingfeng Palace, Zhao Heng beckoned Wei Jin to come closer, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "It can be seen that Rong Jiang has become suspicious of Cao Bin, you order to go down, and you can do it in a few days." ”
Wei Jin's heart trembled and he almost knelt down, but he had followed Zhao Heng for many years, and he still had this bit of courage, standing still, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke: "Your Majesty, once this matter is done, there will be no room for maneuver with the temperament of the prince, and the prince will be at that time."
Zhao Heng slashed at him with a knife: "If it weren't for Rong Jiang's character, my calculations wouldn't have been successful." ”
