Chapter Fifty-Six: Three Summoners Found
When the time came, Zhao Zhen took a few guards, came out of the palace, and walked on the street at will, the street was deserted, and there was hardly anyone to see, but there was no solemn atmosphere on the street.
A team of patrolling soldiers walked over and saw Zhao Zhen and his party, because Zhao Zhen was wearing civilian clothes, so one of them came over and arched his hand to Zhao Zhen and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why do you walk the streets early in the morning? ”
A school behind Zhao Zhen flashed over and waved a token in his hand, and the team leader couldn't help but exclaim when he saw it, so he knelt on the ground and said, "People don't know that the system made the adults arrive, and please punish the adults!" ”
Zhao Zhen glanced at the team leader, and saw that he was born with a broad face and square cheeks, bright eyes and big ears, bared teeth and mouth, and a rough and ugly appearance, so he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said, "What's your name?" ”
The team leader said: "The surname is Du Mingxing, because I was born ugly, everyone calls me 'grimace'." ”
Zhao Zhen said secretly: "Sure enough, it's him." So he said, "I see that you are careful in your work, if you want, how about being a lieutenant officer by my side?" ”
Du Xingwan didn't expect such a good thing to fall, so he kowtowed to Zhao Zhen at the moment, and said happily: "People should follow the envoy." ”
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "You just follow me all the way to the government prison, I heard that Liu Qi has imprisoned a lot of capable people, and I want to go over and have a look." ”
"People obey." Du Xing first agreed, and then said: "Back to Your Highness, people are now being ordered to patrol, and they have to report before they can leave." ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be more satisfied, and said: "You just let your subordinates report to the top, it's your team, Lone is also recruited, and we will serve the Lone Chinese Army together." Zhao Zhen got the middle officer, and the Chinese army served, that is, the general name of the commander's guard and service, Du Xing heard that his brothers had also benefited, and he didn't feel more happy, so he kowtowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "Thank Your Highness for them." With a wave of his hand back, the group of people knelt down and saluted Zhao Zhen together.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need, just wait for you here for a while." ”
Where did Du Xing dare to let Zhao Zhen wait, so he sent two subordinates out, one went to Lu Qing first to clarify the situation, this patrol was arranged by Lu Qing, first to communicate with him, otherwise leave for no reason, it is to kill the head, and the other is to inform other patrols in the back, the route and time of these patrols are all regulated, and now there is less Du Xing, the back will catch up, and the front will be slower, otherwise the front will lose the response of the back.
After Du Xing made the arrangements, he came over and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, the people have been arranged, so I can follow you." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Lead the way." Du Xing had already figured out the terrain here for half a day in the city, so he led the way and led Zhao Zhen towards the prison.
After the government prison was controlled, Lu Qing sent more than a dozen soldiers to watch, ready to screen, and then decide whether to release the prisoners, on this, Lu Qing deliberately and Zhao Zhenming, they are different from those who rebelled, they can't be released, otherwise it will cause all kinds of trouble, because they represent the government, so they can only be screened clearly, in order to kill, let go, Zhao Zhen naturally obeyed Lu Qing's arrangement, and followed his method.
The leader of the prison happened to be Du Xin's subordinates, as soon as he saw Du Xing hurriedly come to see the salute, Du Xing just wanted to introduce Zhao Zhen to the leader, Zhao Zhen winked at him, Du Xing was a clever man, and immediately took it back, and said: "We were ordered by Lord Lu to inspect the prison, but you opened the door and let us in." As soon as he spoke, Zhao Zhen's original subordinates came over and gave him a warrant, Du Xing unfolded it and said to the leader: "This is Lord Lu's warrant, you can check it." ”
The leader smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Du, it's not that you don't know, I can't read at all, what do you see, if you want to go in, you can go in, anyway, there are no important people in here." ”
Du Xing glared at him fiercely and said, "Then you have to be hearty." The leader agreed, opened the door, and let Du Xing in, Du Xing turned back to ask Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen said, "Just you and I will go in together." ”
Du Xing was even more happy, and said in his heart: "It seems that His Highness has great trust in me. Immediately, he led Zhao Zhen into the prison, and the leader also led people to follow.
This is the first time Zhao Zhen has entered the prison, and as soon as he walked in, a yin wind blew in his face, making him feel cold, goosebumps rose, and he involuntarily retreated backwards, stumbled under his feet, and fell backwards.
Du Xing has been paying attention to Zhao Zhen, and after seeing it, he hurriedly held Zhao Zhen and shouted: "Your Highness, it's cold and damp here, don't go in, what do you want to do, just let people come." The leader next to him was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly wanted to kneel, but Duchenne hurriedly went up and kicked him up.
Zhao Zhen really didn't want to go in, so he said to the leader: "Is there a person named Sun Ding here?" ”
The leader said tremblingly: "People...... Ignorance. ”
Du Gordon said, "Don't ask yet!" Then he helped Zhao Zhen to the side of the prison god pavilion and sat down, the leader hurriedly entered the prison, and after a while, he escorted a ragged scholar over, saluted Zhao Zhen indiscriminately, and said, "King, this is that Sun Ding." ”
Zhao Zhen looked at Sun Ding, and saw that although his clothes were torn, his face was calm, and he didn't look like he was in a prison, but like he was in a library, and he also looked at Zhao Zhen and looked at him proudly.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Prisoner, you are already a prisoner, what reason is there to be so rude?" ”
"Somehow the students are rude." Sun Ding replied indifferently.
"You're a criminal, I'm the king, shouldn't you come and give me a salute?"
"I am a talent on the list of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't want you to be a grass-headed king, even if I meet my son, I don't need to kneel!"
Duchenne shouted on the side: "Bold! Who is the king of grass, you are not afraid of death! ”
Sun Ding sneered, but he didn't take Du Xin's words to heart at all.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile and said: "I have heard that the 'Sun Buddha' of Kaifeng Mansion is not counted, and Sun Ding prefers others to call him a 'crazy student', which is really good." ”
Sun Ding looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "You ...... How do I know about my affairs in Kaifeng Mansion? ”
Zhao Zhen got up and walked to Sun Ding's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm your old Kaifeng person, don't you recognize it?" ”
Sun Ding shook his head and looked at Zhao Zhen suspiciously, and Zhao Zhen said: "Lone is Zhao Zhen, I have seen you in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion." ”
Sun Ding was shocked and said, "You are the king of faith?" Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "It's the lonely family." Sun Ding bowed his head and shouted: "Crazy and rude, please forgive your highness!" ”
Zhao Zhen pulled Sun Ding up with a smile and said, "Didn't you kneel when you saw the officials, what would you kneel?" ”
Sun Ding couldn't help but smile ashamedly, and said: "I'm really dissatisfied with Your Highness, I don't know any news about being born in prison, and I think that it is the grass-headed king who laid down Neihuang." ”
Zhao Zhen glanced at the leader, he was brought out by Qi Gong, and naturally he was reckless, so he said: "Jin Yu went south, the two saints hunted in the north, and now under the election of the Empress Dowager Meng and the ministers, he supported the nine elder brothers of Lone as the emperor, and Lone was sent by the two roads in Hebei to set up troops to go north. At this point, Zhao Zhen paused, and said: "The court is chaotic, the forbidden army has fled, and now there are not so many people and horses, so I have recruited the righteous army of Lianghe, these are the people and horses of the righteous army." ”
Sun Ding was stunned at this time, and then his chest stirred, and he said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, the country is so ruined, you princes are needed to stand up and contribute to the country!" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Most of the rebels around Lone are recruited, and there is no shortage of military generals, but there are not many Wenchen, just when I read the case files in the house, I knew that you were here, so I specially came to invite you, and I made a record room by Lone's side, what do you think?" ”
Sun Ding's excited hands trembled, and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Sun Ding will definitely do his best for His Highness, and he will die." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Okay, you go with Gu first, change your clothes, and then come to this prison, the first thing Lone handed over to you is to screen and understand the prisoners held here, and let them clean up, and those who have the heart to resist gold will be included in the army, and the guilty will be dealt with on the spot, and there is no need to wait for reconsideration." ”
Sun Ding said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Sun Ding knows everything about everyone and everything in this prison, and he will live up to His Highness's stop."
Zhao Zhen took Sun Ding out, and then let one of his guards send Sun Ding back, and after he washed, he saw Lu Qing first, and explained the identity that Zhao Zhen gave him, and then went to the prison to act.
Zhao Zhen took Du Xing all the way to Beicheng, and when he arrived in Beicheng, he saw a person dressed as an outsider, who was directing a few strong men to clean up on a fire field, Zhao Zhen waved his hand back, let his subordinates stop, and only took Du Xing to walk over, and arched his hand to the person dressed outside: "By asking, is this Mr. Ye Qingye's restaurant?" ”
The outsider hurriedly returned his hand and said, "Don't dare, but it's Ye Qing, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......." He saw that Zhao Zhen was extraordinary, and he also took his subordinates, guessing what kind of character it should be, so he didn't dare to be careless.
"In the next position in the Xinwang army, last night the army attacked the city and burned this place, and the Xinwang specially ordered Mr. Ye, who came down here to find the restaurant, to discuss compensation."
Ye Qing was surprised, and hurriedly said: "This is not necessary, Master Wang also borrowed Ke's restaurant in order to get rid of the traitor and eliminate evil, how can he ask for money." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "If the whole city is injured and the family property is injured, you can receive ten taels of silver compensation, if there is a house burned, it will rise to fifty taels, although this bit of silver is just a drop in the bucket for everyone's loss, but it is better than nothing, and finally you can't let everyone lose too much." ”
Ye Qing was even more surprised, and said, "Is it really the whole city?" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, and Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's Wang Shi, it's different." ”
Zhao Zhen glanced at Du Xing, he only thought that it would be good if Du Xing could understand what he meant, but he didn't expect Du Xing to be really interested, so he said: "Then Mr. Ye is interested in protecting my Royal Highness?" ”
Ye Qing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ye is just a businessman, where do you have any ability to support King Baoxin." ”
"Mr. Ye was originally the supervisor of Qiu Shen's family, after Qiu Yuanwai was killed, Mr. Ye raised the young daughter of the Qiu family to become an adult, and gave her a hand, passed on the martial arts, and then sent him to Hengshan to practice advanced martial arts.
Zhao Zhen said lightly, Ye Qing's face couldn't help but change greatly, he looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise, he didn't understand how he knew his situation, Du Xing looked at his face, and when he saw Zhao Zhen's face, he said: "This is our Royal Highness the King!" ”
Ye Qing was so frightened that he knelt down, so he saluted Zhao Zhen and said, "The grass people don't know that the king has arrived, and they ask the king to punish the crime!" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "It's Gu who didn't show his identity, what does he have to do with Qing." He stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Qing up, and said: "After entering the city alone, I inquired about the Huang characters in the interior, and all Ye Yuan was a good man who was extravagant, so he came to see Ye Yuan Wai in person, and sure enough; The staff did not disappoint Zhao, he was really a good man. ”
Ye Qing's mind turned rapidly, and he said: "Back to the king, the grass people also know that the king has entered the city, and they are specially willing to help the army with 1,000 stone of food and 5,000 taels of silver to build an army, so as to show Ye Qing's intention to resist Hulu." Ye Qingxin said: "You just came here to appease me for my family property, I'll give you something first, and see how you open your mouth to recruit me." "His master Qiu Shen died at the hands of the Hebei Criminal Division, and the Qiu family was quite resistant to the government and did not want to have anything to do with the government.
Zhao Zhen listened to Ye Qing's words, the smile on his face converged, and he looked at Ye Qing with blazing eyes, that gaze was like two knives that could penetrate people's souls, stabbing Ye Qing's heart in horror, and he didn't know what to do.
"Okay, Ye Qing has this heart, that's the blessing of my army." Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled again and said, "I don't know where the Qing family is?" I'll let someone take it. ”
When Ye Qing heard this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "I thought you were some kind of amazing person, but it turned out that you were also a money-begging person." At that moment, he said: "You can lead your envoy to the past." ”
"Then there's no need, it's all your buddies here, you call someone over, and Lone is still here to talk to Qing."
Ye Qingxin said: "If I don't go back, you don't know how much money you will get from my family." But he didn't dare to do more, so he called a fellow over and arranged for him to lead the people home.
Zhao Zhen said to Du Xin: "You let people take him to Lord Lu, and let Mr. Ran Ye's house go to get money and grain." Du Xing saw that Zhao Zhen had something else, so he sent someone to take the guy away, Zhao Zhen watched the people go away, and then said to Ye Qing: "Qing gave money and food, it just so happened that I wanted a general to manage the auxiliary army, so Qing will go back with me first, order some grain and grass, and then join the company." ”
Ye Qing's eyes widened, and he said in his heart: "Why did I pay the money, and you still want me to go." It's just that Zhao Zhen didn't allow him to speak, and said to Du Xin: "If you call someone to see Lord Lu again, let him bring Mr. Ye's family with him, lest after we leave, Liu Yu's people will come back and find trouble with Mr. Ye's family." ”
Du Xing couldn't help laughing, so he agreed, and let one of his subordinates run away, Ye Qing heard that the whole person was stupid, so he was wrapped up in Zhao Zhen and left.
