Chapter 120: Old Things
After returning to the mansion, he looked at the few servants who knelt in front of him with a blushing face and provoked the leaky son without saying a word. After a long time, he said in a calm tone, and he could barely hear any angry voice: "Are you guys very capable?" The official just explained that you had a little tail between your legs during this time, but you were good, and you got into trouble with the two princes as soon as you made a move. Awesome, really awesome. ”
looked at his old man's iron green face, and knew that his old man turned his face and didn't recognize people. And the more angry the heart, the calmer the tone. A few troublesome errands not only did not feel like they were escaping at this time, but they were scared like chaff one by one. The body trembled, even more than when Huang Qiong was about to take them into the palace.
Zhang Qian's words fell, and several frightened people trembled like chaff, and kowtowed again and again: "The little ones know that they are wrong, please see that the little ones are thinking about the old man, and the sixth lady is angry, so he did such a stupid thing, spare the little ones this time." ”
"Spare you? Then who spared the official? The official's previous orders were repeated, and you all regarded it as the wind in your ears, and what else did you dare not do. How can this ruler have the courage to punish your sins? You are angry for the official, so the official has to thank you, can't you? ”
The more flat his tone became, the more frightened the officers became, and they couldn't even speak. But the leader of the errand called Wang San is still a little ruthless. After kowtowing a few times, he gritted his teeth and said: "Back to the eldest master's words, the little one just watched the sixth lady cry all day long, and the old man couldn't stop, so he thought of finding an opportunity to rectify those people and give the master a vent." ”
"Besides, since the arrival of the master, when have the people of our Jingzhao Mansion been so angry? Several brothers were beaten to death by the emperor's decree for no apparent reason, and they didn't even give us an explanation. If we don't find out the main messenger behind the scenes, what will we do in Jingzhao Mansion in the future? ”
"If this goes on for a long time, who among these Jingshi will take you seriously? It's just that when the little one went anywhere, he really didn't see the Yongwang. As for the king of Hejian County, he really didn't know him, so he caused such an incident for the master. "This guy is the head of these people, and when it comes to responsibility, his responsibility is the greatest, and this is naturally up to him.
Of course, he naturally wouldn't say that he had received money from the sixth lady this time. Not to mention, the sixth lady promised him that if this matter was completed, she would recommend him to the lord to take up the position of the Luohe Inspection Department, which he had been watching for a long time, because he was in charge of the Luohe River transportation and was extremely rich in oil and water.
It's just a mouthful of anger for adults, and think about it for adults. I only hope that this big man can be moved by himself, for the sake of his many years of saddle before and after the horse for Wuchang Houfu, for the sake of this big man, and dare not have any selfish thoughts, spare his little life.
"Oh, according to what you said, you poked such a big basket for the official, or did you think about the official, and the official has to reward you?" After listening to this guy's explanation, Zhang Qian became more and more annoyed in his heart. But there was no trace of anger on his face, but he laughed. It's just that this smile of his has a creepy feeling in the eyes of several errand officers.
As early as when this big man was released to Zhizhou from the Hanlin Academy, he followed this big man. For himself, the eldest master, although he can't say everything about his personality, he also knows Wang San. Seeing Zhang Qian's smile, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart. knew that his explanation had not only helped, but had caused a murderous intent in his heart.
Wanting to fight here, Wang San kowtowed again and again: "The little one really didn't mean to cause trouble for the big master." The little one has been following the big master for so many years, and the big man's loyalty to the little one should be understood. This time it's really a small unintentional mistake, please spare the little one this time. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at the big man in front of him, no matter how he kowtowed, his face was like water, he gritted his teeth and said: "Besides, although the little one has caused trouble for the big man today, the little one has also discovered something." This matter is related to the incident of the Fifth Young Master a few years ago. ”
"If the little one didn't admit his mistake, the little one found one of the mother and son who injured the fifth young master back then. You know, the little one has been following the Fifth Young Master all the time before he follows you. In the year when the fifth young master had an accident, the younger one followed the fifth young master. ”
"It's just that the little one didn't have the ability to deal with that mother-in-law, and he didn't be able to protect the fifth young master, so that the fifth young master was seriously injured like that. These young people have always felt guilty, and they have been secretly investigating the murderer who hurt the fifth young master back then. It's pitiful, today I finally let the little one find out one of the murderers who injured the fifth young master back then. ”
"What, you saw one of the murderers who hurt the fifth brother today? Are you sure? This matter is very important, if you lie half a point in order to save your life, this official will skin you alive. Hearing this guy's words, Rao is Zhang Qian has been an official for many years, and the city government that has been cultivating is extremely deep, and his face can't help but change.
Although he has many brothers, he is the only one who was seriously injured a few years ago, and now he has become the fifth brother who only knows how to giggle and idiot all day long, and he was born to the same mother. He was able to get the prince's appreciation at the beginning, and eventually became his first confidant. And relying on the support of the crown prince, he became the first person in the family after his father, and this fifth brother made great efforts.
Based on the practice of fighting for power within each big family, the battle between the dignified Wuchang Hou and the privy deputy envoy, and the son-in-law and the concubine was still quite fierce. Although he is the eldest son, he is the concubine of a maid. As a concubine, in a large and leafy family, it is not easy to get the appreciation of his father.
Although it cannot be said that compared with the prince, it is not easy to compete for the position of prince. Although he said that he was a young man, he became the first person among the brothers to enter the Shi. But Wuchanghou is a family of military generals after all, and he is not too interested in the elegant thing of Jinshi. In addition, his mother's status is too low, so he has suffered a lot at home.
The two sisters-in-law from the main room didn't even treat him as a brother at all in many cases. This fifth brother, who was appreciated by the prince very much, became his best helper. I can get to this day, it is my father, the lady who came from everyone, and she also looks at herself differently, and even gives a little courtesy, and her younger brother can be said to have made a great effort.
Although he also knew that his younger brother was addicted to wine all day long, and it was difficult for him to become a big deal. can be appreciated by the prince, all rely on unscrupulous means to find a boy with clear eyebrows, castrated and then given to the prince to enjoy. Although this approach is a bit shameless and quite inferior, it is still my biggest help in the end.
Where did I think that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky. His younger brother, the only one who could help, instead of trying his best to drag his hind legs, was actually beaten as an idiot a few years ago, but the murderer was never caught, which can't help but make Zhang Qian very sad. Now this guy has discovered the real culprit that his family has been looking for for so many years.
Although he didn't believe it very much, it was enough to make Zhang Qian's heart move. After all, with the even greater power of Wuchang Houfu, there has been no result for so many years. How could it be so coincidental that I was inadvertently bumped into by this guy today? However, there is one point, Zhang Qian is still very confident. That is, although Wang San has some problems, he will never dare to lie to himself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's heart quickly pondered the truth of this matter. And in front of him, Wang San, who was kneeling on the ground and looking at him secretly, saw that his face was gloomy and clear, and knew that this old man had made what he said a little excited, so he hurriedly hit the snake and said with a stick: "Big master, the little one will never dare to deceive the big master because he wants to live." ”
Although this person was still a child back then, after so many years, a lot has changed. But the foundation of his appearance has not completely changed, and there is still a vague shadow of the past. Master, that woman's martial arts skills back then left too much impression on the little one. ”
"The way the woman shot at that time, the little one still remembers it deeply, and I'm afraid I will never forget it for the rest of my life. It's just that this person's identity is special, and he needs to tell you separately. After glancing at a few colleagues around him who were still trembling, this Wang San said in a low voice.
"Okay, this official will spare you first this time, except for Wang San, you all go down first. But after going down, each person went to the torture room to receive twenty boards, and had a good long memory. If there is a temptation without asking for instructions next time, this official will definitely not be spared. . After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Qian decided to listen to Wang San's henchman, what happened this time.
Since he became the governor of the state, he has never allowed anyone, especially his subordinates, to disobey him. The reason why he is so high and light in this matter. For this ruthless Jing Zhaoyin, it can be regarded as the first time in the world.
However, this time he easily forgave these people, except that he wanted to know who the person who injured his brother back then was. Another reason is very important, these people are all his hardcore henchmen brought out from Wuchang Houfu. Kill them all at once, and it's still a little reluctant to sweep more. After all, it takes time to train a good dog.
Seeing that the master finally let go of a few of himself, the few who were almost not smiling on their master's face, and the frightened and paralyzed messenger glanced at themselves gratefully, and ran out quickly. For them, as long as they can save their lives, let alone twenty boards, even if it is two hundred boards, there is no problem.
Seeing that the other people had withdrawn, Wang San spoke: "Master, do you still remember the half of the sleeve that was found at the scene of the fifth master's injury?" is what Jing Zhaoyin said at the time, it must have come from the half of the sleeves in the palace? ”
As soon as he said this, Zhang Qian remembered it at that time. After repeatedly failing to find the murderer, Jing Zhaoyin, who was then at the time, sent half of the murderer's sleeve left at the scene to Wuchang Houfu after the incident. He and his father recognized at a glance at that time, although the style of this half sleeve was very ordinary, but the clothing was a tribute.
After seeing this half of the sleeve, my father asked in detail how many people were at the scene at the time when Jing Zhaoyin was sent to the mansion at the same time. After making sure that the half of the sleeve must have been left by the murderer, my father burned the fold that had been written. and repeatedly told that this matter ended here, and it was not allowed to be investigated.
Although afterwards, after learning that the murderer was very likely to come from the palace, the prince also sent someone to secretly investigate in the palace for a long time, but still nothing was found. Today, Wang San said that he met one of the two murderers back then, and the half of the sleeve came from the palace. Zhang Qian's heart couldn't help but move, could it be said that one of the murderers was one of the two kings?
