Chapter 133: Role Reversal
Facing Yang Shangshu's angry little eyes, Zhu Shangshu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sneered: "I mean, your old lady understands righteousness, and you are simply a model for my generation to learn." When Yang Shangshu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, he is also complaining in his heart! If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Quan, who was beside the emperor, saw the scene where Zhang Shilang gave him a bribe, he would definitely not sell his good disciple.
Think about the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner last night, the emperor, who treated him quite kindly in the past, didn't even glance at him from beginning to end. After her talented granddaughter performed, she didn't even get a perfunctory compliment. He was a cool and cool man in his heart, and he knew that he had to draw a line with this squire.
But think about it not long ago, he also led a large number of Hanlin, and the imperial history desperately impeached Guo Chenghei in the main hall for ignoring human ethics and indulging in his daughter to sue his father. Only a few days later, he deliberately went to the Criminal Department to accuse Zhang Shilang of being a vicious criminal, and he had to firmly clear up the teacher-student relationship with him. Tsk, this slap is really crackling, or is he willing to hit himself.
But he is an old man who has mixed up with the officialdom of the two dynasties, and his ability to do things on his own is really incomparable to ordinary people. I saw Yang Shangshu caressing his three strands of beard and said righteously; "Since Zhu Shangshu has already taken the case, why don't you immediately open the door and let the bitter master come in to avenge his grievances, and then send someone to pass the thief to come to the court."
With a "snap", Zhu Shangshu suddenly slapped the startled wood, shook Yang Shangshu's shocked hand, and several beards were pulled out raw. He couldn't laugh or cry as he looked at the innocent beard on his hand.
And Zhu Shangshu, who was sitting at the top, was unaware, only stared at the triangular eyes, and shouted majestically: "Someone is coming." If you don't close the fence at once, open the middle gate, and let the sufferer come in to avenge your grievances. ”
After a pause, he shouted to Guo Chenghe: "Lord Guo, please go in person, and pass on the official Zhang Shilang to come for questioning." ”
"Yes, my lord is wise." Guo Chengsi stood up. He hugged his fist at Zhu Shangshu and complimented him without hesitation.
"Your Excellency is wise." The hall immediately rang out in unison.
Seeing that the officials who were originally guarding the gate got the order, they began to close the fence. Open the middle door. Loud cheers erupted in loud cheers among the onlookers outside. If there is something good, he immediately went to help Lan'er's brother and Lan'er's mother up, and then hugged them and walked towards the yamen of the criminal department.
Zhong Ziyuan stood up abruptly and said with great interest: "Why don't we go and take a look?" ”
Zhu Feifeng's eyes turned like rippling water, and he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Said lazily: "What's the hurry." The best looking lively is outside. The one who can invite the arrogant Zhang Shilang to come to the hall has no one else except our Lord Guo. Do you want to watch people cry in this lobby, or do you want to see chickens and dogs jumping in that house? ”
Zhong Ziyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and she stared at Zhu Fei and said, "Chickens and dogs seem to be more interesting, can I also go and see it?" ”
Zhu Fei showed a doting smile, he stroked her head with his hand, and said gently: "Follow me, where can you go?" Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but shudder. His action seems to be touching a puppy!
Zhang's mansion is indeed a chicken flying and a dog jumping. The housekeeper Wang was arrested, Mrs. Zhang fell ill and bedridden, and Zhang Gongzi hid out and disappeared. The people in the mansion were also panicked, and a sense of panic that the building was about to collapse spread silently in Zhang's mansion.
Zhang Shilang simply didn't care about anything, and rested in Aunt Bi's courtyard for two days in a row. Huang Huali's stepping bed is hung with a dense and heavy curtain, which obscures most of the light outside. His face, which was no longer young, was hidden in the dim light, making it impossible to see. His hand with the jade wrench finger slid gently over Aunt Bi's scarred bare back.
Although he was over forty years old, his hands were very well maintained, with clear bones and slender and white skin. There is also a thin layer of calluses on the pads of the middle and index fingers, which are a pair of typical scholar's hands. But it was these delicate hands that cost the lives of many young women.
His voice was as sharp as ice in the cold: "A bunch of untouchables want to bring me down? Hmph, it's just overwhelming. As long as the roster is still in my hands, the master will not let me die so easily. ”
There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and he frowned slightly. I heard someone whispering by the door: "Don't worry, my lord, the gate of the criminal department is closed, and a fence has been placed, and no one dares to accept the letter handed by Lan'er's family." ”
"Okay" The corners of Zhang Shilang's mouth hooked, revealing a sneering smile: "Okay, let's go and stare carefully." ”
"Yes." The people outside were instructed to retreat immediately.
He stared at the top of the tent and fell into deep thought, a pair of bottomless triangular eyes like a dip in ice, without a trace of temperature. After another half of the ring, his hand moved, and it was obviously Aunt Bi who woke up.
She didn't seem to feel the pain in her body, and her young body writhed like a snake, rubbing gently beside Zhang Shilang. She blew lightly into his ear, and watched with satisfaction as his cold eyes instantly darkened. Cai said in a hoarse voice; "The lord is so ruthless, Madame sent someone to call a few times, and you don't go to take a look."
"Then I'll take a look now." Zhang Shilang was about to rise.
Aunt Bi hurriedly threw herself on him, and said jealously: "Don't go." ”
Zhang Shilang raised his hand and slapped her snow-white buttocks, and said with a smile: "Duplicity goblin." ”
Aunt Bi's body trembled, and then she relaxed again, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently twisted a strand of his green beard, and said sullenly: "Who called her Mrs., I am Auntie." What if I don't say anything, and when she's well, come and peel me off? ”
"How dare she? What kind of lady, it's just that the lord and I lift her up. If she makes me unhappy, she can't even connect to the room. Zhang Shilang said coldly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.
Aunt Bi laughed when she heard this, and said with silky eyes: "I can remember what the master said!" Don't admit it in front of your wife. ”
"Leprechaun. It's getting more and more presumptuous, go get the pill. Zhang Shilang slapped her buttocks again, and his pupils were a little dilated at the moment. The wings of the nose stirred rapidly, obviously in a state of extraordinary euphoria.
A hint of fear flashed in Aunt Bi's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed. She still squirmed like a snake and slid past him, and when she reached the edge of the collapse, her snow-white feet kicked lightly, and sucked the embroidered shoes embroidered with the magpie's spring motif on the pedal. Then he smiled back and smiled, and then he stood up and twisted his waist and walked forward.
She only wears a pink belly pocket embroidered with a hibiscus pattern on her upper body. A pair of bulging snowballs almost pierced the thin pink brocade. He wears a pair of silk pants that are bright yellow and tightly wrap around his thighs. The well-shaped snow backs are covered with bright red whip marks, which are shocking to look at. It's just this kind of incompleteness. The raging beauty made Zhang Shilang's heart pound, and his triangular eyes slowly narrowed, flashing a cold light as cold as a poisonous snake.
Aunt Bi didn't seem to notice anything, she still twisted her waist and walked forward slowly. Every move is full of boundless temptation. Finally walked to the cabinet with carved vermilion lacquer and soft tortoiseshell inlay. She took out a delicate brocade box from the lowest layer, poured a cup of water from the blue and white teapot on the table, held it together in a small teapot in the shape of a begonia, and sent it to Zhang Shilang.
Zhang Shilang turned over and sat up, he opened the brocade box casually, and there were more than a dozen black pills the size of a dragon's eye inside. He took one casually and handed it to Aunt Bi, and said coldly, "Eat it." ”
"Yes." Aunt Bi obediently agreed, took the pill and put it in her mouth. I sent it down with that cup of water.
After a little while, he nodded and said, "Go get water." ”
Aunt Bi returned to the table and fetched water again. Her little fingers, which were coated with kodan, had accidentally been dipped in the water. Zhang Shilang took a pill for himself and sent it down with water. After eating the pill, he immediately lay down, waiting for the fluttering feeling to come.
After waiting for a while, the familiar feeling did not come, but was replaced by a strong feeling of vertigo. He realized that it was not good, and wanted to turn over and sit up, but his body was as soft as no bones, and he couldn't exert any strength.
Aunt Bi's soft and fragrant body slowly leaned over, and said with a smile: "Master, but what do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
Zhang Shilang opened his mouth, grabbed his throat tightly with one hand, and shouted quickly and weakly: "There is a problem with this pill, hurry, go and call someone"
Aunt Bi blinked in confusion and said, "Call someone, why do you call someone?" Didn't the master always dislike calling people when he was taking pills? Besides, I also took this pill, and there was no problem at all. ”
Zhang Shilang instantly understood, and he shouted angrily: "It's water, it's water that has a problem." You slut, you must be trying to harm me. Don't forget, without me providing you with the pill, you would be worse off than dead. ”
Aunt Bi giggled, she stretched out her onion-like fingers, pointed at Zhang Shilang and said sarcastically, "Do you think this pill is only available to you?" I don't want to think about where you got this pill yourself. ”
Zhang Shilang's blood was lost, and he shouted in a hurry and in horror: "Impossible, the roster is still in my hands, and the master doesn't dare to ask for my life." It's you, it's you, a slut, who dares to take matters into your own hands to harm me, and the master won't spare you. ”
"Roster?" Aunt Bi slowly pulled out a book with a blue cover from under the mattress at Zhang Shilang's feet. She blinked her eyes and said with an innocent expression, "I accidentally took this out of the secret compartment of your study this morning. I don't know if it's the roster you said? ”
Looking at the book, with a "boom", Zhang Shilang only felt a strong sense of dizziness hit his brain. He was terrified and frightened, and a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness took over his body and mind.
The flattery on Aunt Bi's face gradually dissipated, replaced by long-suppressed anger and hatred, and she raised her slap fiercely and slapped Zhang Shilang's face.
After a few crisp sounds, Zhang Shilang's eyes widened in disbelief. The rapid change of roles made his whole body tremble with anger, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Slut, if you dare to treat me like this, I will definitely skin you and cramp." It's a pity that his voice is light and fluttering, and it seems that even he can't hear it clearly, so naturally there is no deterrent at all.
Aunt Bi didn't pay attention to the former master on the couch at all, she shook her palm, which was a little numb, and said with a smile: "The medicine given by the master is good." Look, it's you who practice me every day, and today I finally want to go back. As she spoke, she slowly removed a piece of gold wire that hung on the wall. A dark red rattan whip soaked in tung oil.
Zhang Shilang's pupils shrank, and he shouted fiercely: "Slut, you dare"
Guo Chengsi rode his curly-haired black pheasant horse. With a group of officials came to the gate of Zhang's mansion, Zhu Fei naturally followed him lazily. Seeing that the vermilion lacquer door of Zhang's mansion was tightly closed, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Go knock." ”
"Yes, sir." Immediately, a servant took the order, went up the steps, raised his fist and smashed it fiercely. It didn't take long. I heard the sound of footsteps inside, and someone asked tremblingly, "Who's outside?" ”
The official said loudly: "It's Guo Shilang from the Criminal Department, and I have something to say to Zhang Shilang from your mansion." ”
Hesitate for a moment. The person inside said: "Our master is not here, if there is anything, let's ask Guo Shilang Ming'er to come again!" ”
When the official heard this, he hesitated, and he subconsciously turned back to look at Guo Chenghe. And he saw that his face was as water. Pursed thin lips. A pair of sharp eyes stared at the gate of Zhang's mansion. The officer immediately turned around, clenched his hands into fists, and slammed the door harder and harder.
I heard the people inside scream, "It's rude." Your family is a squire, and our family is also a squire, and everyone is at the same level! Why are you smashing the door of our house? ”
When the official heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "We are here to get people, who told you what courtesy, hurry up and open the door." Who knew that his thumping handle was red, but there was no sound inside. The official had no choice but to retreat to Guo Chenghe's side.
"I thought it would be okay to hide inside and make no sound." Guo Chengsi's eyes narrowed slightly. He said coldly: "Duan Ling, go and smash the door." ”
"Yes." Duan Ling received the order. Stride forward.
Zhu Fei tilted his head, smiled slightly, and said; "Xue Ji, you can't let Master Duan be tired, you can also help."
"Yes" Yukihime agreed crisply, twisting her waist and stepping forward.
There were two thick horse-tethering stones standing in front of the door of Zhang's mansion, and I saw Duan Ling walking in front of one of them. He hugged the tethered stone, his eyes widened, and his arms were all together. The bulging muscles in his arms nearly broke through his black guard uniform. I heard him shout, and there was a loud "pop", and the tethered horse stone that was at least as thick as his thigh was actually broken by him.
"Good," the group of officials immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.
And Xue Ji twisted and walked to the other tethered stone, and saw that after she was secretly lucky, her hands kept slapping on the tethered stone like a flying butterfly. Her technique was so fast that the officials were so dazzled that they couldn't even see how many palms she had made. When she finished her work and stood beside her, the leashing stone made a tooth-aching creak, and then fell down with a bang.
After the group of officials was silent for a while, they erupted in even more lively applause than before. Xue Ji smiled smugly at Duan Ling, lightly rolled up the tethered horse stone on the ground and smashed it towards the gate of Zhang's mansion. Not to be outdone, Duan Ling raised the tethered horse stone in his hand and shouted, and at the same time smashed the gate of Zhang's mansion.
After hearing two loud noises, the heavy vermilion lacquer door of Zhang's mansion trembled a few times and immediately cracked a few deep cracks, and large pieces of vermilion lacquer fell, and even a few dead wind lamps hanging on the door also fell staggeringly.
Duan Ling raised the tethered horse stone in his hand and wanted to smash it again, but he heard a frightened cry from the originally quiet Zhang Mansion: "Don't smash it, don't smash it, open the door." After hearing a jumble of footsteps, there was a loud bang, and the door of the mansion finally opened.
"Sons, go in!" Guo Chengsi didn't even get off the horse, waved his hand, rode a curly-haired black horse to take the lead, and rushed to Zhangfu.
The subordinates who opened the door in Zhang's Mansion were bluffed and retreated, and their faces were pale. Guo Chengsi entered the gate of Zhang's mansion, stared at the person condescendingly, and said sharply: "Take me to see your master." ”
The next person still remembered the evil star who turned Zhang's mansion upside down last time, his legs couldn't help but weaken, and he trembled and said: "The little one doesn't dare to lie, our master is really gone, and no one knows where he is." ”
When Guo Chengsi heard this, his eyebrows gradually frowned. He noticed that the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion said in a hurry that the master was missing, not that the master was not in the mansion. (To be continued......)
