Chapter 249: The Head Falls to the Ground
Thinking of this, Li Tai's heart was a little relieved.
He cheered up, looked at Deng Wensheng, looked at him with admiration, and said politely: "I am the prince, and I should share the worries of my father and the emperor, and the word merit will be mentioned in the future." ”
Deng Wensheng just smiled, as if he also realized that these words were a little out of place.
After all, His Royal Highness King Yue is a person who is worried about the people, such a person, is the disaster relief just for merit?
If it spreads, it will seem that he is vulgar.
Deng Wensheng said lightly: "That's true, the old man happened to get a painting and calligraphy here, but he wanted to show it to His Highness." ”
Li Tai listened to it, and then he cheered up.
Obviously, he was more interested in painting and calligraphy than in fame and fortune.
Deng Wensheng took a painting and calligraphy, and Li Tai was waiting to see it.
At this time, someone hurriedly came in and said, "Your Highness, Chen Zhengtai, the Zhan of the East Palace, asks to see you." ”
Chen Zhengtai......
Li Tai frowned.
In fact, Chen Zhengtai was ordered to patrol Yangzhou, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs had already issued an official document, and after Li Tai received the official document, he was quite vigilant.
After all, for this senior brother who has a great relationship with his brother, he has now become the Zhan Shi of the East Palace, which has shown that Chen Zhengtai has completely become a person from the East Palace.
Now that my father didn't know what the reason, he actually asked Chen Zhengtai to come to Yangzhou, which made Li Tai very vigilant.
He even thought that this must be a bad idea from the prince, but he was afraid that he was here to find fault with him.
His current reputation has far surpassed that of his imperial brother, and it is natural that the imperial brother is jealous.
"It's a big sight." Li Tai sighed and said: "I can't imagine that this Chen Zhengtai won't come sooner or later, but at this time, I don't want to see this painting, and I don't have the heart to see it." ”
Deng Wensheng couldn't help but glance at Li Tai, with a taboo look on his face, and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, Chen Zhan is this person, and the old man has also heard of it a little, but I am afraid that this person is not a good person." ”
Li Tai showed a look of contempt: "This person is a traitor who seems to be loyal, my father is just deceived by him, the so-called people who come are not good and those who are good do not come, but be careful." ”
Deng Wensheng said with a smile on his face: "He can't make any waves, after all, His Highness is temperate and Yang Yue 21 Prefectures, with a deep foundation, up and down the Yangtze River, who doesn't want to be sent by His Highness?" ”
"Just by virtue of his identity as an envoy, he can scare others, but he can't scare His Highness, His Highness is His Majesty's son, even if he is the prime minister, what can he do?"
When Li Tai heard this, he was even more dissatisfied: "I'm afraid that he will play right and wrong in front of his father." ”
Deng Wensheng shook his head and said: "What His Highness did, he has a clear conscience, why be afraid?" ”
As soon as he said this, Li Tai felt justified, "Then it will be him." But ......" Li Tai said lightly: "Come on, tell Chen Zhengtai that this king is now urgently dealing with the disaster, let him wait outside." ”
As he spoke, he returned to the case and continued to review the official documents.
I read it for half an hour calmly.
It seemed that Chen Zhengtai, who was outside, was very impatient, so he urged someone to come again: "Your Highness, then Chen Zhan has come to ask again." ”
"What are you asking?" Li Tai put down his pen and stared at the incoming errand officer.
The messenger said, "Chen Zhan asked, can you invite him in?" ”
That's the exact word.
Hearing this, Li Tai was furious and shouted, "What are these words? There are tens of millions of victims in this Gaoyou County, how many people are now displaced, and how many people have maintained life and death honor and disgrace on the body of this king. How big his face is Chen Zhengtai, will it matter more than the people? Tell Chen Zhengtai the original words of this king, let you see it, and if you don't see it, you can't see it, but if you want to see it, you can obediently wait for this king outside, he is definitely the king's senior brother, and compared with thousands of people, which is more important, this king can carry it clearly. ”
Deng Wensheng sat aside, drinking tea calmly, he couldn't help but glance at Li Tai with appreciation, I have to say that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is more and more admirable.
With just one word, you can teach Chen Zhengtai that he has nothing to say, and if it spreads, he is afraid that it will be another good story.
The errand officer did not dare to slack off, hurried out, and told Chen Zhengtai, who was meeting Li Tai outside, what he had said.
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he was very embarrassed, and then said: "Then it's gone, goodbye." ”
He turned around to leave, but was stopped by Li Shimin's eyes.
Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, don't I want to lose face? finally sighed in his heart, and then said: "I wonder when King Yue will be able to finish acting official business?" ”
The officer smiled bitterly: "I can't say for sure, maybe it's an hour, maybe it's a day." His Royal Highness King Yue cares about the people and has not had a good rest for many times. ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "In this way, King Yue is really hardworking, he is young, and he is not afraid of breaking his body, otherwise, you go to tell again, just say that I have a letter from His Majesty......"
Chen Zhengtai said while looking at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was wearing regular clothes, but he looked indifferent.
So the messenger got the word, and obediently went back to tell him.
As soon as Li Tai saw that the errand was coming back, he knew that Chen Zhengtai was entangled again, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted, and said angrily: "What's the matter?" ”
The messenger saw the angry look on Li Tai's face, and he was also bitter in his heart, but he couldn't report this matter, so he could only stubbornly say: "King, that Chen Zhan said that he brought a secret letter from His Majesty......"
When Li Tai heard this, his face changed slightly.
He didn't even think of this layer.
His father has always attached great importance to Chen Zhengtai, and this time he comes, his father will definitely explain to him.
Thinking like this, Li Tai said, "Please let him in." ”
After a short time, Chen Zhengtai came in with Li Shimin and a few others.
Li Shimin is dressed in an ordinary way, not to mention seasickness a few days ago, and he has been dusty these days, so his face is a little different from when Li Tai left Beijing.
Of course, Li Tai didn't have the heart to pay attention to these people around Chen Zhengtai, he only stared at Chen Zhengtai.
After all, Li Tai came to Yangzhou, it can be said that he talks and laughs with Confucianism, there is no white ding, ordinary people, he will not pay too much attention to it at all, but Chen Zhengtai, although he doesn't like it, but after all, Chen Zhengtai is after all Mengjin Chen, not to mention that he is still a disciple of his father.
"Senior brother...... I'm very sorry, but you waited for this king to finish the official document at hand. Li Tai glanced up at Chen Zhengtai, still holding an official document in his hand, and then muttered: "Now the disaster is urgent, and there is no room for delay, you see, there is an accident here again, and there are thieves in Dongxiang." After the so-called catastrophe, there will be a disaster, and now the government is only concerned with disaster relief, and some small people have risen up in chaos, which is also a common thing, but if it is not solved immediately, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. ”
As he spoke, he bowed his head and said, "Just ask Mr. Deng to take care of the senior brother on behalf of the king." ”
Deng Wensheng listened, with a modest smile on his face, he got up, looked at Chen Zhengtai and said: "Contemptible Deng Wensheng, after hearing that Chen Zhan is the Mengjin Chen family, the name of the Mengjin Chen family can be described as thunderous, as for Chen Zhan's affairs, the young age is even more amazing. When the old man saw Chen Zhan's demeanor today, he knew that the rumors were true. Come, Chen Zhanshi, please sit down, don't be in a hurry, take a sip of tea first. ”
He smiled at Mr. Chen.
Chen Zhengtai didn't look at Deng Wensheng with his eyes, and said: "What is Deng Wensheng, I haven't heard of it, please just sit down?" Dare to ask what official position do you live in now? ”
This tone can be described as extremely arrogant.
Deng Wensheng was stunned for a moment, and a little shame and anger appeared on his face, but he quickly restrained his emotions and looked calm.
In his eyes, how could there ever be a person like Chen Zhengtai?
He smiled faintly: "I am a farmer, no official and no position." ”
Chen Zhengtai sneered and said: "A grass people, even dare to be presumptuous in front of me, and still don't you salute?" ”
Deng Wensheng's face swept over his face.
Li Tai, who lowered his head, couldn't help but raise his head at this time, and said with a straight face: "This is ......"
Chen Zhengtai interrupted him and said, "What is this...... I would like to ask, what kind of official position is this person? I, Chen Zhengtai, am the prince of the court, and the young Zhan of the East Palace, can't I afford this old man's gift? Deng Wensheng, are you, you also deserve to be a reader? How can a scholar not know humility? Today I am respected, you are just a pariah, and you dare to be presumptuous? ”
Chen Zhengtai not only spoke disdainfully, but also had a thick look of contempt on his face.
Deng Wensheng not only felt ashamed and angry at this moment, but also had a deep resentment towards Chen Zhengtai in his heart, and he couldn't even maintain his calm appearance anymore, and his face was slightly hideous.
In fact, there are many people in this Datang who are unwilling to go out.
In fact, with their status, of course, they can be officials, but in their opinion, how can a noble background like themselves easily accept the conquest?
Therefore, often such people will not become officials first, but 'cultivate and study' at home every day, and wait until their reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and when the time is ripe, they will directly soar to the sky.
Such a noble person like Deng Wensheng is like this.
At this point, many people are like a mirror, so no matter where he goes, he can be courteous, that is, Yangzhou Assassin Shi saw him and treated him as an equal.
But Chen Zhengtai was so presumptuous in front of him.
Deng Wensheng looked at Chen Zhengtai coldly, and said lightly: "Chen Zhan is like this, it's a little rude, Master Ziyun: The mean difference is ......."
"Who is a gentleman with someone like you!" Chen Zhengtai does not intend to be polite to this kind of person at all.
The past few days have been extremely depressing, don't say that Li Shimin is uncomfortable, he himself feels like the whole person is pressed by a boulder, as if he can't breathe.
At this time, seeing that Deng Wensheng was still talking about what kind of master in front of him, Chen Zhengtai couldn't hold back any longer, and he was directly angry in his heart.
If I, Chen Zhengtai, still reason with you today, I will not be the same?
After Chen Zhengtai scolded, he actually raised his fist and smashed it into Deng Wensheng's mouth without hesitation.
Deng Wensheng opened his mouth to say something.
But this fist smashed.
greeted Chen Zhengtai's fierce face.
He was stunned for a while, and then, it was too late to dodge.
This circle banged and smashed directly on the bridge of his nose.
He uttered strange syllables from his mouth, and then fell on his back, a piercing pain spreading from the tip of his nose.
He could even hear the bridge of his nose being pounded by gravity, causing the cartilage to snap.
"Uh......" blood and tears flowed out at the same time, and the whole person staggered, hunched his waist, and screamed: "Kill someone, kill someone, kill someone, the murderer pays for his life, Chen Zhan...... Chen Zhengtai, you ...... You're so daring......"
Deng Wensheng was furious, he had never tried such a shame in his life, and the pain that made his scalp tingle could no longer bear it, and all kinds of strange words came out of his mouth.
This is his Deng family.
He's the master here.
He is a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, how can today's pain and shame be just like this?
He was hunched over like a fly without a head.
And everyone didn't realize that Chen Zhengtai would have such a move.
Even Li Tai is the same, at this time...... He finally stopped paying attention to his official documents, and when he saw Chen Zhengtai actually committing murder, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Mr. Deng is a close friend of this king, and he is a sincere gentleman, and he Chen Zhengtai dares to do so......
Su Dingfang, who was standing behind Chen Zhengtai, didn't feel shocked when he saw this, but he subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes, in case someone fought back.
Li Shimin stood at the back, he was calm, but his eyes fell on Li Tai's body, Li Tai obviously didn't notice him in ordinary clothes.
At this time, Deng Wensheng continued to roar: "Kill, kill, Chen Zhengtai, this Yangzhou is not your presumptuous place, you dare to ...... this defeated dog."
Chen Zhengtai smiled, to be honest, I am really inferior to you.
But when it comes to scolding, I, Chen, am also a person who has been influenced by the new society, believe it or not, I greet your ancestors for eighteen generations?
Of course, Chen Zhengtai has no interest in showing his talent in this area at all.
Chen Zhengtai had an indescribable feeling.
I always feel ...... After two lives, he has always been able to show his ordinary self, and today he has an irrepressible impulse.
He turned around, looked at Su Dingfang very calmly, and said, "Second brother, he scolds me like this, you can do it yourself." ”
Su Dingfang listened to Chen Zhengtai's words, and he was also unusually calm, just nodded silently, and then stepped forward.
There was no trace of joy or anger on his face, but his eyes were so calm that he felt inexplicably cold in his heart.
He directly grabbed Deng Wensheng.
Deng Wensheng was still covering his nose at this time, saying something in his mouth, the pain on the bridge of his nose was so painful that he couldn't even open his eyes, and when he noticed that his body was being held down by someone, and then, a knee hit his belly hard, and his whole person immediately did not obey the call, and knelt on the ground subconsciously, so he desperately wanted to cover his stomach.
But as he knelt down, he heard the sound of the sword unsheathed.
The voice was so solemn that it made the hairs stand on end.
Deng Wensheng seemed to have an instinct, and finally opened his eyes suddenly.
A long knife was already out of the scabbard, and the cold light was shining.
Deng Wensheng felt a trace of fear in his heart.
But...... Reason told him that this was impossible, His Royal Highness King Yue was here, and he ...... is even more famous in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he may not be so presumptuous.
So, he calmed his mind and sneered wantonly: "Up to now, I still don't know how to repent, but I want to see ...... today."
The knife was raised high.
Laugh at......
Slashed down with a knife.
Su Dingfang is no one else.
It is important to know that cutting off people's heads is a handiwork, unless it is a treasure blade that blows out hair and breaks hair, or a professionally trained butcher, otherwise, the human neck bone is not so easy to cut.
But Su Dingfang stabbed down, and before Deng Wensheng could say what he wanted to see, his head was cut off in response, mixed with blood splashed out, and his head rolled directly to the ground.
The face that still maintained a disdainful sneer, at this moment, his expression froze forever.
Deng Wensheng's body was still spurting blood, and he soon fell directly to the ground.
Su Dingfang was fine, indifferently put the bloody knife back into the scabbard, and then he glanced at Chen Zhengtai calmly, but said with a little concern: "Big brother, stay away, be careful of blood splashing on you." ”
"Oh." Chen Zhengtai took a step back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With such a good knife technique, it's really a pity not to go to Erpigou to kill pigs.
The head falls to the ground.
Deng Wensheng's head was rolling on the ground, and Li Tai looked at the scene in front of him, in addition to being angry, it was more of a stomach retardation fear.
He took a step back in fright, his face was full of surprise, he couldn't have imagined that Mr. Deng, who was still alive just now, would be in a different place in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the other officers in the hall were already terrified to the extreme, and some people reacted and shouted violently: "Kill, kill." ”
The Deng family is already in a mess.
The Deng clan relatives who came to hear the news came with all kinds of weapons.
Li Tai felt dizzy, he resisted the urge to vomit, and said angrily: "Chen Zhengtai, do you know what you are doing? Murder pays for life! ”
"King Yue!" Chen Zhengtai looked up at Li Tai and suddenly let out a loud shout!
This time, he no longer called Li Tai his junior brother, with solemnity in his eyes, and said: "Since killing people has to pay for their lives, then how many lives do the Deng family have to pay for killing so many innocent people?" ”
Li Tai trembled with anger, of course, more fear, he looked at Chen Zhengtai deadly, and when he saw his guards, as well as the clan relatives and tribes of the Deng family, he calmed down a little.
So he said, "You talk to this king like this? The king of Pingjapan respects you as a senior brother, but today you are so bold and reckless, then don't blame this king for being unkind. Come! ”
Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Tai with a smile, just looking at Li Tai, Chen Zhengtai only had a kind of contempt from the bottom of his heart at this moment.
Li Tai angrily pointed at Chen Zhengtai: "Take this person ......"
When he said to take it, he suddenly saw a person behind Chen Zhengtai.
This person...... Such a familiar face was so familiar that Li Tai paused for a moment in his mind, and then he finally remembered something, and looked surprised: "Father...... Father's ...... Father, how do you ...... here?"

I'll resume the update tomorrow, just drove back, hurry up and write the last chapter first, well, and......
