Chapter 51: Confrontation

Zhang Qing was carried forward by the government servants, and more and more people followed, and some people continued to gloat.

"Look, you have been punished, I will say, you go to court to be tried and still sit in a sedan chair, how can there be such a reason? Now people have fallen, their legs are broken, and they have to be carried along. ”

"That's it, how good it is to follow the officials honestly, if you have nothing to do, you should!"

"It's unlucky, I hurt myself before I got over the court, and I can't see this lawsuit today."

……

Zhang Qing listened to what they said, and his face was already dark. There were still some people who didn't know what was going on, and when they saw a few officials in the middle of the group, there was still an official in the middle, and they immediately felt a deep unusual smell in it, so they also followed forward, and inquired like the people around them. So one passed on one by one, and the matter gradually evolved into the fact that Zhang Qing, the imperial historian, was arrested and interrogated by Dali Temple for corruption and perversion of the law...... This shows how terrible the rumors are.

Above Juxian Tower, Ya Ge saw Zhang Qing being surrounded by the crowd, his face was listless, and he secretly sneered in his heart.

Zi Su saw it and silently lamented for Zhang Qing, calculating others instead of being calculated, and I don't know what kind of mood this Zhang Qing is in now. This time, in order to vent his anger to the general, the county lord asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use the secret guards hidden in the inspector's courtyard, otherwise how could the sedan chair be so light and broken...... Not to mention that there are also their own people who are constantly stirring up trouble in this crowd.

Seeing that Zhang Qing was brought into the yamen, Fang Yage got up and said to Zisu, "Let's go home." ”

Zisu didn't react for a while, the county lord just said that he wouldn't leave, why did he take the initiative to go back. "County Lord, are you going to leave now?"

"Well, since this Zhang Qing has entered Dali Temple, I am relieved."

After saying that, he put on his hat and turned his head and walked out of the private room, Shisu didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed to protect him.

Fang Yage thought in her heart, there is a cousin in Dali Temple, this Zhang Qing is don't want to escape, so it is the same to see it here or go back and wait for the news, why should she waste time here, Fang Yage's personality of liking Qingjing has not changed.

……

In fact, Dali Temple and the Inspectorate are not far away, and it takes up to half an hour to walk back and forth. But there are too many people watching the excitement today, and when I came back, I walked very slowly, and I waited for a while in the Inspectorate at the beginning, so when Zhang Qing arrived, everyone in Dali Temple had been waiting for nearly an hour.

"Lord Shi is polite, I don't know what is the matter with inviting the officials to come today."

Zhang Qing is a five-grade official, and Shi Yuandao is a third-grade official, so Zhang Qingyi stepped into the lobby and took the lead in saluting Shi Yuandao.

"Bold, is Lord Zhang trying to frame the crime of trespassing?!"

Shi Yuandao saw Zhang Qing like this, his face changed, is this Zhang Qing a pig's brain, it doesn't matter if he drags it out for so long, he will salute him in front of the prince, this is what he wants to do? !

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, why don't you hurry up and say goodbye."

As he spoke, he glanced at the chair next to him. Zhang Qingyi raised his eyes and was stunned, but it was not the crown prince Jin Shuichen who was sitting there, shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness for his negligence."

As soon as Zhang Qing came in, he looked at Shi Yuandao in the middle of the main hall, and he didn't pay attention to the others at all, if it wasn't for Shi Yuandao's angry shout, he wouldn't necessarily find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by now.

"Hehe, Lord Zhang doesn't have to be like this, above the lobby of this Dali Temple, it is naturally Lord Shi who is in charge, and His Royal Highness is only here to testify today, and the trial is the main thing. Arise, and these gifts will be forbidden. ”

After speaking, he picked up the tea cup on the table, took another sip, and stopped looking at Zhang Qing. saw that Zhang Qing didn't get up, so he snorted coldly.

"Hmph, why does Lord Zhang like to kneel? That's fine, let Master Zhang kneel on the ground and listen to the trial. ”

"No, no, the lower officials obey the orders, and the lower officials obey the orders."

Zhang Qing's dignified official body, even if he is tried in court, he does not have to kneel to be tried before he finds out whether he is guilty or not...... If it is a lower rank, it can be standing, and if it is a higher rank, it can even sit. But now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting in the hall, Zhang Qing can only stand.

"Lord Zhang, look at the plaintiff in the hall, do you know it?" Shi Yuandao cleared his throat and drew Zhang Qing's attention back to the case.

Zhang Qing turned his head when he heard this, hissed, and gasped, what did he see......

"You, you, you're a human or a ghost!"

Zhang Qing saw An Yinhuo looking up at him, and suddenly felt that his scalp was numb and his hair was counting down in the summer, he obviously saw the brothers and sisters of the An family buried in the fire, how could it be possible, this is impossible, it must be a ghost.

"Does Lord Ann think I'm a human or a ghost?"

An Yinhuo smiled at Zhang Qing, his face was indescribably cold, Zhang Qing saw it and quickly jumped into the distance and shouted loudly.

"Don't come here, stay away from me." The voice is high-pitched and looks like madness.

"Smack~! Lord Zhang, please pay attention to your words and deeds, and stop blaming this official for the crime of disturbing the public court! Shi Yuandao really couldn't stand it anymore, and he was shocked, scaring Zhang Qing into a clever one.

No, if it is really a ghost, then it is impossible for the other people present not to be afraid, and then think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who appeared above the court inexplicably, Zhang Qing's mind finally cleared up a little, it's over! An Yinhuo is not dead. What can I do?

"Lord Zhang seems to be very afraid of me, no wonder, he doesn't do bad things on weekdays, and he doesn't feel shocked when he knocks on the door in the middle of the night, it seems that Lord Zhang has done a lot of bad things on weekdays, and he is so scared when he sees me."

"Oh, you're the nephew of the An family? But how could it be, weren't you captured by the people who commanded the envoy in the capital? They all said that you were dead, but Shibo was sad for a while, but it was okay, it was okay, and I was relieved to see that you were okay. Brother Xingbang bless. ”

Zhang Qing's spirit of being scared away by An Yinhuo just now ran back, and he immediately understood that the current situation was not good for him. This An Yinhuo is a living person standing here and doesn't recognize it, and now the key is how to take himself out.

"Phew, your dirty mouth is not worthy of mentioning my father, let alone pretending to say here that I will come back safely You are happy to say, it sounds disgusting."

"Virtuous nephew, you...... How can you talk like this, how can I and your father be classmates, how can you slander me like this, what I did not agree with your mind, and I actually sued me in court. I received your letter from your nephew but I hurriedly went to see you, and wanted to take your mother and son back to the house, even if I didn't receive you, you can't slander me like this, isn't it good to be kind and not reciprocated. ”

Zhang Qing saw that An Yinhuo was not polite to him, and instantly changed from a kind face to an indignant and aggrieved look, as if he had suffered a great grievance, and even put An Yinhuo in a position where he didn't know what to do.

"This kid doesn't know what to do, people look like an official, and he is a classmate with that kid and his father, how can he talk like this?"

"That's it, I heard that this Zhang Qing was also arrested because he suspected that the son of the An family was arrested as a soldier, so he sued General Fang in the Jinluan Palace, even if people are mistaken, they can't be so angry and sue people."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, you two just came, this Gongzi An not only sued Zhang Qing for not understanding the situation and sued General Fang, but also said that Zhang Qing sent someone to harm him......"

A scholar who arrived first saw that the people around him who didn't know were coaxing, and hurriedly explained to them, but he was afraid that the adults in the hall would hear it, so he deliberately kept his voice very small. Take a closer look, this person is none other than Zhang Gongzi, one of the three scholars who had gossiped upstairs in Juxian, there was no one on the door, and he liked to watch the excitement, all three of them came in, and he explained to the people around him, and the other Wang Gongzi and Yang Gongzi looked at it, and immediately moved away from him.

"Hehe, Zhang Qing, you don't want the wicked to sue first, when did I write a letter to you, if so, you take it out, we will check the handwriting in the court, so that everyone can distinguish the true from the fake!" An Yinhuo couldn't get used to Zhang Qing's shameless appearance, so he had to check his handwriting on the spot.

"Nephew An Xian, misunderstanding, I did receive a letter, saying that your mother and son were in trouble and needed my help, and made an appointment to meet at the Taoist temple outside the city. Now that the virtuous nephew said this, I think that the letter is naturally fake, hateful, it must have been a trap designed by someone, and I also misunderstood General Fang because of this. Hey, how can this be?! ”

After listening to An Yinhuo's words, Zhang Qing naturally didn't dare to check the handwriting, the letter was originally fake, and now he can only pretend to be confused, as long as he bites to death is a misunderstanding, what can they do? At best, it is a sin of false retribution.

"Where is this letter now, please hand it over to Lord Zhang, this is also one of the evidences."

Hearing the letter, Shi Yuandao reminded him that he wanted Zhang Qing to come to the court, which was also his duty, and seeing the two of them arguing for a long time, Shi Yuandao was already impatient.

"Lord Qiqi Shi, that day I heard the bad news of An Jiaxian's nephew, my heart was sad, and I burned the letter as a condolence, but I didn't expect it...... It was my negligence, and if the letter had been left behind, I might have been able to find out what had been done. ”

Zhang Qing shook his head regretfully, and sighed secretly in his heart, fortunately he found an excuse, otherwise it would be really troublesome now, let him go where to find someone to imitate a letter.

"Hehe, Master Zhang, if you can't take it out, you can't take it out, it's not interesting to pretend. Mr. Zhang can't get my handwritten letter, but I have a letter from Mr. Zhang here! ”

As he spoke, An Yinhuo took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, respectfully supported it with both hands, and raised it upward. The servant took it from his hand and handed it to Shi Yuandao's table. Shi Yuandao opened the envelope carefully, took out two pages, and looked at it carefully, but his face became more and more ugly.

"Bold, Zhang Qing, do you know what is written on this letter!"

"Master Shi, how could the lower officials know, the lower officials have never written any letters to An Gongzi!"

Zhang Qing is very puzzled now, he really hasn't written any letters to An Yinhuo, could it be that the other party is forging evidence like him, but how can this handwriting be fake......

"Oh, then you're saying the epistle is a forgery? An Yinhuo, what do you say. ”

"My lord, this letter was personally sent by the head of the Zhang family, and there were dozens of taels of silver sent together, if you don't believe it, you can confront the head of the An family. Of course, the handwriting on this letter can also be verified, and the manager once said that it was written by his master himself. ”

An Yinhuo's words were conclusive, so that Shi Yuandao had to wonder, could this qiē really be planned by Zhang Qing, when he thought of this possibility, Shi Yuandao also had to admit that this Zhang Qing was thoughtful.

"Come on, go and press the head of the Zhang family, and by the way, invite a few Zhang Daren's ink treasures."

"Yes"

Several officials heard the order and went straight to Zhang's house, but this time they learned well, and a few of them rode away.
