Chapter 62: A Narrow Road Encounter
Snow is stained with snow, and when viewed at night, it looks as if it is a large expanse of black mixed with white.
The figures were swaying in the snow, and Zhao Shu could no longer see the figures of Xiao Guozi and Xiao Zhuzi.
I saw that the leader of the black-clothed man who came straight to her was hit by an arrow in the chest, lying on the ground, no longer breathing, and her long sleeves hunted in the cold wind, she blocked in front of the carriage and looked back at Zhao Shu, "County Lord, please go back to the palace." β
"Thank you for saving your life." Zhao Shu didn't answer her words, she is not a pedantic person, if she really can't go to the mansion today, she can only turn around and go back, and she can't gamble with her life.
Duozi paused, "The county lord is wrong, the slave maid just arrived, it wasn't the slave maid who saved you." With that, she stepped on the blood-stained snow and ran into the crowd of men in black on the opposite side.
"It would be nice if the slave maid could have the ability of a sister to protect the county lord." Late Winter muttered.
"It's okay, there will always be ability, as long as you are motivated." Zhao Shu reached out and patted the shoulders of the two, relieved.
Thinking back to Duozi's words in my head, it wasn't Duozi who saved himself, who was that?
Suddenly, a group of gray-clothed people emerged from all around, these gray-clothed people were wearing hats on their heads, holding scimitars in their hands, and their movements were fast without any fancy movements, and they were directly killed.
Zhao Shu's eyes stared at these people, in the night, in fact, no matter whether they were black or gray, they couldn't tell clearly, but she could still tell at a glance that around the carriage, there were several forces of people and horses.
Suddenly, Wei Tingsi jumped from the crowd to the roof of the carriage, and the body shook for a moment, causing late winter and midsummer to hug her tighter.
Wei Tingsi covered his face with a cloth, but Zhao Shu could still recognize him at a glance, the sword-like momentum, rising from the ground, unmatched, when the sword was unsheathed, it must be the momentum of the eye, and now Wei Tingsi is so fierce, rushing out of the crowd with a peerless momentum. No one can stop it.
He jumped off the roof of the car, sat down on the seat, and said, "Sit tight." β
Zhao Shu hurriedly answered, "Okay." β
Wettings pulled the reins. The horse pulling the cart immediately raised its feet and roared, and rushed towards the man in black in front of him.
Zhao Shu's horse pulling the car, although it is not a bloody BMW, it is also a rare BMW, and the speed is so fast. The people in the car only felt that the car was about to fly.
Seeing that the long knife was about to rush in front of him, he took out a few round balls from his arms and threw them, the round balls collided with the flying long knives in the air, and the long knives fell to the ground with a bang, and the balls flew straight over, penetrating the heart of the man in black who threw the knife.
All the men in black were shocked by this scene, and even Duozi glanced at Wei Tingsi in the carriage a few more times. It's just that Wei Tingsi is masked, she squints, and she can't determine Wei Tingsi's identity like Zhao Shu.
But soon, she abandoned the man in black and went straight to the carriage, but the carriage did not stop, but between two breaths, she rushed out of the defense line of the man in black, and walked away along the official road in front of her.
Stomp your feet in multiple ways. Jumped and chased after him.
In the carriage, Zhao Shu was nothing, in late winter and midsummer, she was hit and dizzy.
From the place where you met the man in black to the government. On weekdays, it takes another two quarters of an hour to arrive, but Wei Tingsi stubbornly compresses the time to less than a quarter of an hour.
The carriage came to a stop in front of the government gate, he didn't speak, stuffed a sachet into Zhao Shu's cuff, and jumped. Disappear into the night.
Chu Chun and the prefect waited in front of the government with the yamen, and were startled when they saw that the carriage had finally arrived, and the curtain had not yet fallen.
Chu Chun ran over, his heart was in his throat, and finally saw that Zhao Shu was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "County Lord, hurry, get out of the car, let's go in." This is not the place to speak, she reached out to hug Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu let her carry herself out of the car, walked a few steps, her feet were still a little floating, and it felt good to step on the ground.
"Weichen Zheng Hongsheng see the county lord." Zheng Hongsheng is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a big belly, the size of Fu Bo, with a pair of small eyes, in the night, Zhao Shu can't see that he has eyes, but his voice is extremely neutral, and his attitude is respectful and modest.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of officials behind him also said in unison: "See the county lord!" The voice was loud and neat, and it was loud and loud, and at a glance you knew that it was not the wine bag and rice bag, which was extremely well-trained.
glanced at the meticulous, radiant, and energetic Yacha, "Lord Zheng doesn't need to be polite, the Lord is well-governed, and he is really a model for one of the parents and officials, disrespectful and disrespectful, and thank you for borrowing the government and me." The other party is respectful and humble, she can't be too pretentious, and finally has a good reputation, naturally she has to take good care of her feathers, a good reputation and a bad reputation, she will naturally choose the former.
Zheng Hongsheng stood up straight and made a gesture of invitation, "The county lord is strict, and Weichen is added as the prefect of Guanzhou, Chang Cheng is afraid, I am afraid that I will not be able to cure this side of the water and soil, and the county lord can come to the government office, which will make the government government shine." β
While speaking, Late Winter and Midsummer also got out of the carriage, trying to calm the tension in their hearts, and the three of them hugged Zhao Shu, followed behind Zheng Hongsheng, and entered the mansion.
The palace is brightly lit, with a light in ten steps and a post in five steps, and the guard is also extremely strict.
"I'm really sorry to bother my lords, in early spring, I'll give some tea and wine money to the poor masters, twenty taels per person." Nowadays, Dayong's rest system is still more humane, and the rest time is from the twentieth day of the lunar month to the twentieth day of the first month of the next year.
Zheng Hongsheng nodded secretly, twenty taels is nothing for a family like them, but for the yacha, it is a year's worth of money, the lord of the monarch is really as rumored outside, extremely smart, he will buy people's hearts so at a young age, he is still calculating, how much reward will be given later, it is much more difficult to be the prefect in Guanzhou than in other places, this place is really not a good place to accept bribes, and there are too many people in the clan, and human contacts can make him bankrupt.
"The county lord rewards, don't you want to thank you?" He hated the iron and kicked the master who followed him, the master is not high in emotional intelligence, but he is such a doll, he has such a bearing, he was surprised, and for a while, he didn't react.
After reacting, his face turned red, and he felt that the adults were really ashamed, although the house was poor, but there was no need to accept it without pretending to postpone it, why didn't the emperor learn some essence of the three fiefdoms today?
But what else can he do if the adults say so? On behalf of the yacha, he said to Zhao Shu: "The villain is grateful to the county lord for the reward on behalf of the brothers." He searched for the word for a long time, and felt that the word brother could be expressed.
Zhao Shu chuckled. "You're welcome." This Zheng Hongsheng is also a wonderful person, and now the literati are more clear and high, and it is rare for Zheng Hongsheng to be like this.
Between words. I have arrived in the lobby, two rows of yacha are standing on both sides with mighty sticks in their hands, and the yacha are all burly and tall, their eyes do not squint, and they are extremely solemn.
"The county lord. People are there. Chu Chun pointed to the sack next to the trial table and whispered to Zhao Shu that when she first came here, she was startled when she saw Jiang Yue at first glance, but then she saw a note on it, thinking that it was sent by Zhao Shu, so she was a little relieved.
Sneered softly, after today, Jiang Yue, you will seek more blessings and kill your mother. If she doesn't report it, what else will she do? No, there is also a twin brother.
Such a big hatred, she only found out today!
took out the danqing painted by Sun Yun, unfolded it, and asked Zheng Hongsheng: "My lord, I don't know if you may find someone in the house who is somewhat similar to the painting?" β
"Don't worry, the county lord can still find some similarity." took Danqing from Zhao Shu and handed it to the master on the side, "I don't know what else the county lord has to order, Weichen will let him do it." β
"Your Excellency knows. Reward the good, punish the evil, inspect the envoy, and judge Cui. The four four judges in the palace of the Son of Heaven in the four capitals? Zhao Shu said.
Zheng Hongsheng narrowed his small and small eyes, his head was a little confused, he didn't know what Zhao Shu was going to do, but these yin characters still knew, so he nodded, "I know." β
"The main trial prisoner of this county. He is the mother killer of the county lord, and the county lord hopes that the adults can help find out the truth and make the prisoner confess and be detained. She said calmly.
Zheng Hongsheng knew that Zhao Shu had lost his mother since he was a child, but he had never heard that Princess Yong was murdered, and when he heard this, his heart was immediately in a mess, but soon he cleaned up his chaotic thoughts, no matter what conspiracy he had behind him, he decided to help Zhao Shu.
Life is a fork in the road everywhere, everywhere is a choice, he just considered a breath of time, then chose to take Zhao Shu's fork in the road, now the situation seems to be, Yongwangfu is definitely worthy of his bold choice, Yongwangfu has a simple population, if you murder Princess Yong, there are only two possibilities, one is love killing, the other is vendetta, he dares to be sure with the head of the neck, it must be love killing.
does not involve politics, he is willing to make a friend of Yongwangfu, and as an official of the imperial court, it is the basic duty to ask for the people's life and be the master of the people, if he helps the monarch and the county lord this time, the people behind the scenes want to seek revenge on him, although the Zheng family is only a last-class family, but it is not easy to mess with!
"Please also ask the county lord to instruct, and Weichen will go all out to help the county lord find out the truth." After he decided, his attitude was more respectful.
Zhao Shu chuckled, she chose to come to the mansion, and she had already made up her mind, no matter whether Zheng Hongsheng agreed or not, she would use this trial hall to complete the following series of things, naturally Zheng Hongsheng could cooperate best.
Now it seems that Zheng Hongsheng is a wonderful person.
"This person has done a lot of evil, and it is difficult to write a book, so naturally he wants to punish the evil envoy, and ask the adult to pretend to be the evil envoy to help me interrogate the prisoner."
Zheng Hongsheng pretended to be a person who pretended to be Yin Si for the first time, but he did not feel scared in his heart, but was extremely excited, he was not an ignorant woman and child, a protΓ©gΓ© of a famous scholar and a Hongru, and he sneered at the words of ghosts and gods, and recalled in his mind the description of the punishment of evil envoys in the play, and said: "County lord, please wait a while, Weichen will make some preparations." β
"Okay." Zhao Shu pulled out a reluctant smile, he didn't mind, he understood Zhao Shu's mood very much, and said goodbye and prepared to go.
Sending Zheng Hongsheng and his master away, Zhao Shu's eyes fell on those yacha, and just as he wanted to speak, the master turned around and came in again, "My lord, let you wait and prepare, come with me." β
"Please wait a minute, the county lord, I'll go and prepare when I wait for this." He saluted and withdrew from the trial hall with the yacha.
After the yacha went down, the entire hall was immediately deserted, and Sheng Xia and others surrounded Zhao Shu in the middle, afraid that a hidden arrow would fly from somewhere and murder Zhao Shu.
"Boil the medicine in it into soup and feed it to Jiang Yue to drink, it doesn't need to be too strong." She took out the sachet that Wei Tingsi gave her from her cuffs, the sachet was a fairy, I don't know where he found it, opened the sachet, there was nothing else in it except the fairy.
Chu Chun looked at the sachet handed over by Zhao Shu suspiciously, this sachet is so rough, the things of the county lord are all handled by them, everything is exquisite, when did there be such a rough sachet?
But this is not the time to be curious about this thing, so I took the sachet and went down to find a place to suffer.
Walking out in early spring, Zhao Shu said to Midsummer and Late Winter: "The three of you are together, you don't have to guard me, I have someone to protect me." β
The three of them didn't know what Zhao Shu had in mind, this was what they meant to avoid them, and they felt a little surprised in their hearts, but when they thought that they were powerless, they had to go together.
The three of them were separated, Zhao Shu closed the open ones, found a chair to sit down, and waited quietly, but the person she was waiting for never appeared, but it was the injured Han Ying who came, he broke into the door, and saw that Zhao Shu was fine, so he was relieved to the ground.
Zhao Shu hurriedly went over to check his injuries, but fortunately, he was exhausted, and the knife wounds on his body did not hurt the vital point, "Someone." β
The yacha on duty not far away heard her cry, ran over with a sword, and was startled when he saw Han Ying, when did this person appear? Stubbornly, he bowed his hand outside the three zhang, "Please give the county lord orders." β
"Is there a doctor in the house?"
"Yes." Yacha answered truthfully.
"This is my guard, he is wounded, please take him to the courtyard of the doctor in the palace, and let the doctor heal him." Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
Ya Cha forced the fear in his heart, and also knew that Zhao Shu would give a reward, originally it was Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and he had to be called back as an errand, and there were some small words in his heart, although he did not dare to say it, but he was unhappy in his heart and it would be disadvantageous, but it was different with reward, they were just ordinary people, and the family relied on their meager monthly income to feed them, so when I thought of the old and the young, I saw that Hanying was covered with blood, and I was not afraid.
"Yes." Greeted his companion and carried Han Ying out of the trial hall.
It's just that the Wettings are still delayed.
At this time, Wei Tingsi was standing on the roof, opposite Duozi, Xiaopang, and Huo Baichuan sitting on a chair.
The roof couldn't have flattened the chair, but Chubby was palming behind him, so he sat comfortably on it, with a piece of hay in his mouth, and his expression was leisurely and slow, "It's all friends, what kind of face?" Don't look for a good-looking cloth, take it off quickly, I dislike you. β
Wei Tingsi is like a sharp sword stuck there, not happy, not sad, not laughing, not angry, the cold breath, so that the snow under his feet is inferior, the cold wind blows his blue gray robe, hunting, he faces the direction of the wind, the green silk behind him flies with the wind, the tassel on the sword swaying, it will come out of the sheath at any time.
"Friends don't get in the way." Looking at Huo Baichuan, his eyes were as deep as ink, like the sky above his head, which made people unable to see through and guess.
After hearing this, Huo Baichuan squinted his eyes, but he was still calm, like an idle monk who moved over Wanzhong Mountain in a lonely boat, "I helped you last time, can't you still treat me as a friend?" β
"Thank you last time, but please get out of the way, I have important things to do." The long sword in Wei Tingsi's hand was horizontal, and the meaning was obvious, either give way or fight. (To be continued.) )
