Chapter 50: The Sedan Chair

In the Inspectorate, the imperial historians were drinking tea in the inner room, and at this moment Zhang Qing was also chatting happily with a colleague. This imperial historian surnamed Zhou is a person who is accustomed to observing words and feelings, he has seen Zhang Qing's gray face of Fang Zhengyun in the past few days, and suddenly feels that Zhang Qing has some ability, and most importantly, he has always wanted to take refuge in the British king, but he has no choice but to have a humble official position and has not been able to find a way. At this time, Zhang Qing landed on the big ship of the British king, and wanted Zhang Qingqing to be introduced, so he naturally touted Zhang Qing in every way.

"Lord Zhang, don't you know, that Fang Zhengyun is now angry and resentful, the entire general's mansion is surrounded by the common people, and the gate is not open, it is said that the people enter and exit through the back door. Lord Zhang, it has spread in the capital, saying that you are the first minister of our time. ”

After speaking, he gave a thumbs up, with a sincere face, which shows that this week's imperial history is also a leader in the whiskers.

"Hehe, where does Lord Zhou say, saying that the injustice in the world is within the scope of my generation. This general is also a tiger general, and he has also made great contributions to the country, but he was confused for a while, hey...... It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

After saying two regrets in a row, he shook his head. In addition to Zhou Yushi and Zhang Qing in this room, there were three other Yushi who were also on duty, listening to these two praising each other, pouting disdainfully. In fact, most of the people who can be the imperial history are upright people, otherwise who wants to be this offending official, so the other three have never been unkind to hypocritical people like Zhang Qing.

The two were chatting, and a small official came outside, this person looked hurried, sweating profusely, and when he saw Zhang Qing, he seemed to be relieved, and he saluted and said: "Lord Qiqi, the official of Dali Temple outside is here." ”

"What is the reason for the government office of Dali Temple?"

Zhang Qing thought that this little official reported to him because he had the biggest official position in the inner room, but he didn't expect that this official came for him.

"My lord, the official said that someone had sued you, so he ...... it."

After speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Qing again. The imperial history of this Dali Temple is still more rule-oriented, and the intention of the future will be clear, and he did not go straight to the Inspectorate, but let him go first to report. But seeing that those people looked bad, and there were many people behind them who were watching the excitement to follow, this little official felt that the person who sued Zhang Qing must be not small, otherwise Dali Temple would not have ventilated in advance and reported the news but came directly to get people.

"What? How is this possible, then what right does Dali Temple have to interrogate the official?! ”

Zhang Qingyi's face was red when he heard this, his neck was thick, unless the emperor personally issued a holy decree to investigate him, otherwise he was a dignified five-grade official, and Dali Temple had no right to say that he would be arraigned.

"My lord, those four officials really said so, and I want you to go to Dali Temple to cooperate with the interrogation. I've invited people to the side room. ”

The little official lowered his head again after speaking, this matter is strange, and it is better for him to squeak less.

"Hehe, I think Master Zhang should go and have a look, and send people away as soon as possible, otherwise this official will always stay in my inspectorate, and those who don't know think that something big happened to the inspectorate."

A sneer came from the corner, it was one of the imperial histories that Zhang Qing was not pleasing to the eye, and when he saw the opportunity, he naturally had to step on his sore feet.

"Hmph, don't worry about Lord Cao, anyway, no one knows your name, Lord Cao, you think too much." Zhang Qing replied without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter if I'm not famous, I'm afraid that some people are notorious, and that is to smear our imperial history." None of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

"Hmph, it's just a matter of tongue, what kind of ability."

Although Zhang Qing said that Dali Temple had no right to interrogate him, he was still worried that something else would happen, so he didn't bother with that Cao Yushi, left such a sentence, and turned around and walked towards the side hall.

……

The side hall of the Inspectorate was located in the front yard, and at this moment the four officials had been waiting for a long time, and the servant brought the tea, although the heat was unbearable, but the officials did not take half a sip.

The hearts of the four people were already burning at this moment, if it weren't for Zhang Qing's official position, they would have gone in to get people a long time ago. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is made to wait for a long time, then it will be difficult for them to explain......

"See Lord Zhang"

Seeing that Zhang Qing was late, a few people didn't say anything unpleasant, after all, Zhang Qing's identity was there, but he didn't have much enthusiasm, thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince in the main hall of Dali Temple, a few people knew in their hearts that it would be better for them to be less involved in today's affairs.

"A few people have worked hard, Zhang is busy with official business, please forgive me."

When Zhang Qing saw the expressions of these officials, his heart chuckled. Under normal circumstances, officials are groveling when they see officials, unless they ...... Who sued him?

"Lord Zhang doesn't need to say much, please follow me and return to Dali Temple as soon as possible."

A leading official does not play Tai Chi with Zhang Qing, and he is going to take Zhang Qing back immediately, and he will finish the business as soon as possible.

"May I ask you, who is the divine who sued this palace?"

Zhang Qing is still most concerned about who he offended, stabbing him in the back, making him lose such a big face.

"Lord Zhang, please don't embarrass us, as long as Lord Zhang waits with me, everything will naturally be understood."

It was still the official who had just replied, but his attitude was more indifferent, and there was obviously some impatience in it. Seeing this, Zhang Qing's mood became heavier, he shook the silver ticket in his dark sleeve hard, walked in front of this person, and quietly handed the silver ticket to the other party's hand.

"Please also ask this big brother to make it easier."

At this moment, whether in behavior or words, Zhang Qing has obviously put down his figure, and he is completely different from when he first entered the door. But Zhang Qing didn't expect that the official quietly stuffed the silver ticket in his hand back into his hand.

"Don't say more, my lord, please come with us quickly."

Zhang Qing saw that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and he didn't say much, but his attitude was still gentle, and said: "Then I want to ask you to work hard and go with the official's sedan chair." ”

These four officials originally came on foot, for fear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would wait for a long time, so they walked quickly and quickly, and the sweat on their bodies had not dried yet, but this Zhang Qing actually wanted to go in a sedan chair...... Obviously, several people were very dissatisfied. And the arraignator of Dali Temple, who has ever dared to go in a sedan chair?

But thinking that this Zhang Qing is an official after all, if he really follows them to Dali Temple, and he has followed countless people along the way, it will be a real loss of face. It's not yet time to tear up your face with Zhang Qing, so let's be patient first, so several people went out with Zhang Qing's sedan chair with unhappy faces.

……

Outside the gate of the Inspectorate, there were already people waiting for the excitement, some of these people followed all the way from Dali Temple, and some of them rushed over temporarily when they heard the news. At this moment, the water around the entrance of the Inspectorate had already been blocked, and when I saw the four officials coming out with a cyan official sedan chair that officials were riding, there were immediately people around to coax.

"Yo, it's still a big man's majesty. Even the hall is in a sedan chair. Hahaha. ”

"That is, it is said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, is this adult's identity more noble than the prince?"

"What do you know, it's a lie when you hear this, if we ordinary people commit a crime, the officials are fierce like tigers one by one, you see that this official has committed a crime, they are docile like kittens, and they are not obediently following behind the sedan chair."

"It's just that they are all the masters who watch the dishes on the plate, and they don't necessarily receive much benefit in it."

These words were really straightforward and ugly, not only did Zhang Qing's face change, but the four officials turned even pale. They were not satisfied with Zhang Qing's official authority in front of them, and they had to take a sedan chair to the hall, so when they heard the people say bad things about Zhang Qing, they were actually gloating in their hearts, so they did not come forward to stop it. It's just that they were implicated as they said this, but they were really wronged, so they slowly and unconsciously moved farther and farther away from the sedan chair.

"Hey, let's not talk about it, turn around and let the eldest master hear that he also sued us in the Jinluan Palace, then we can't finish eating and walking, haha." When a big man said this, he immediately drew laughter from the surrounding area.

"Who do you think you are, this imperial history also depends on people, no profit can not be early, if it is not for the noble status, he will not tell it. You can't get into other people's eyes. A thin young man was not used to seeing the arrogance of the big man, so he immediately replied.

"Hey, you skin monkey, you dare to laugh at your grandfather and me, see that I don't pick your skin."

The big man listened to the thin man's words and immediately stopped doing it, turned his head and began to catch up. Originally, there were many people watching the excitement, and this one chased and ran, which made the crowd more chaotic. And although this thin young man is thin, his movements are very flexible, jumping up and down under the chase of the big man, and he likes to hide behind others. For a while, there were shouts and scoldings one after another, and a few people had conflicts because of this and began to push and shout.

"Oops, the eyeless one stepped on my foot."

"Hey, who are you scolding, who are you scolding who doesn't have long eyes, you don't have a door."

"Lao Tzu scolded you, if you don't accept it, you won't accept a fight."

After a while, the crowd was already chaotic, and several sedan chair drivers were squeezed obliquely, and Zhang Qing felt that he was dangling with the sedan chair...... Suddenly, with a strong impact, the sedan chair swung violently to the side, and with a click, the wooden stick on the sedan chair driver's shoulder actually broke.

Bang~ There was a loud bang, and the crowd quieted down, only to see the cyan official sedan chair fall to the ground fiercely, and a figure in an official uniform rolled out of the sedan chair.

"Oops, oops, my waist, my face, come on, come on."

Zhang Qing was thrown out of the sedan chair, his body seemed to be scattered, not only twisted to his waist, but also broke his head, everyone was stunned when they saw Zhang Qing like this, only the sedan chair drivers hurried to help.

"Master, you, you're okay, I'll help you."

"Idiot, how do you carry a sedan chair."

Zhang Qing looked at the surrounding onlookers and felt that he had lost face, and then looked at the sedan chair that fell to the side, and felt that it was really five thunders, and this sedan chair could not sit at a glance, so he sprinkled all his anger on the sedan chair man. At this time, the servant squeezed through the crowd and walked to the side.

"You, go and stop a sedan chair on the street, go quickly."

Zhang Qing didn't want anything else now, so he immediately ordered the little guy to stop the sedan chair on the road, and the little guy was a clever one, so he turned around and ran.

But a few officials didn't think so, and stopped Zhang Qing, who was going to go to a nearby teahouse to avoid the limelight, and said: "Lord Zhang, don't delay any longer, now please wait with me to go back to Dali Temple as soon as possible, I don't dare to delay." ”

As he spoke, he also raised Zhang Qing's arm, "Lord Zhang is injured, I will help Master Zhang go back." ”

Several officials didn't dare to delay any longer, and without saying a word, they set up Zhang Qing and left, watching the lively crowd follow, Zhang Qing's face for several lives was all lost.
