Chapter 25: Zhao Gang Disappears
Rong Hua got up from the stool and took Zhao's mother's clothes and put them on for her, "Aunt Zhao, you go to bed first, I'll wait here." She stared into Zhao's mother's eyes and comforted, "Maybe he went out to eat." ”
"I won't, he'll tell me if he's drinking. You go to bed first, don't accompany me, I'll wait for his work just in time to be able to sew and mend clothes, it's okay, ah. Mother Zhao patted Rong Hua's hand and asked Rong Hua to go to sleep first.
"Then I'll stay with you, I'm not sleepy." Rong Hua sat next to Zhao's mother.
A night of sewing passed, and Zhao Gang didn't go home at dawn.
Rong Hua couldn't sit still, and Zhao's mother couldn't sit still.
"No, I'm going to find Gang'er." The long sitting posture made Zhao's mother almost unable to stand firmly, she shook twice and sat back down, which scared Rong Hua a lot.
"Aunt Zhao, why don't you rest first, I'll go, I often go out, I'm more familiar with the roads in the capital than you." After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go find Gao Fei and them first, maybe Zhao Gang is with them." ”
Rong Hua has been to the training ground in the capital. This time, there was no one to accompany her, and she had to go by herself, because the people of the Zhao Mansion had scattered out to find someone.
Zhao's Mansion is not far from the training ground, but it takes a lot of effort to walk on both feet.
"Is Zhao Gang here?" Rong Hua tightened his collar and waited for the soldier guarding the door to answer.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Zhao Gang's sister and he didn't come home last night......"
"It turned out to be Brother Zhao's sister, Brother Zhao left yesterday afternoon, and he didn't come today." I heard that it was Zhao Gang's sister, and the soldier guarding the door cared about it.
"So, can you help me get Goofy out?" Gao Fei has always had a good relationship with Zhao Gang, maybe he will know where Zhao Gang went.
"Phineas? Phineas! Someone was looking for him at the door. The soldier shouted twice at the camp.
People have a sixth sense. Things are going in a bad direction, and Gao Fei said that he hasn't seen Zhao Gang since he separated from him yesterday afternoon.
"What to do? What to do? Will something happen to him? Aunt Zhao Zhao said that he would never go home at night. Rong Hua clenched his sleeves and kept walking anxiously.
Gao Fei asked Rong Hua to go home with a solemn face, turned around and went back to the barracks, and when he came out again, he was followed by seven or eight people, each with a knife pinned to his waist.
In the dim and damp cell, Zhao Gang was lying on the damp ground with only his true middle clothes. Covered in wounds and fainted, if it weren't for the slightly heaving chest and the frowning eyebrows from time to time due to pain, others would have thought it was a corpse.
The person who tortured Zhao Gang was very aggrieved, this situation is still rare, what should I say when the adult summons him?
He pondered the wording along the way, and had to bite the bullet to report the situation here.
"My lord, the soldier is not only strong, but also has a strong mouth, tossed a net, and failed to pry a word out of his mouth." Who would have thought that just an ordinary soldier could withstand their torture all night, and he didn't spit out a word.
"That's it? If you don't ask for something before this evening, I'll take your head. ”
Jing Zhan slanted his eyes at the person kneeling on the ground, quite displeased.
"Yes! Adults, small ones do their best. ”
finally got such a clue, could it be that it was broken like this, how could he be willing. Jing Zhan unconsciously furrowed his good-looking eyebrows, and said coldly: "No, this evening, if I come back from the palace and you haven't asked anything, you can come to see me." ”
Jing Zhan gave an ultimatum.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a great eunuch above one person and under ten thousand people, but only he knows that he is just a dog of the emperor, and the emperor throws a bone to him when he is happy, and if the emperor is annoyed, he can trample him under his feet and crush him fiercely. Recently, he has done a few things wrong, and the emperor is annoyed with him, and he must not make a mistake. Now his subordinates can't even ask how to make him happy.
He lifted his slender neck and breathed a sigh of relief, and someone skillfully changed his clothes and hair.
Xu is his anger today infected the people around him, and the strength of the little eunuch with curly hair was unstable, which hurt Jing Zhan's hair, and he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kept asking for mercy. If it's just on weekdays, it's bad luck for him today.
"Drag it out, chop it up and feed me to the fish. Next time, change your hand steadily. His voice was flat and cold, as if he was just talking about the weather today.
"My lord, spare me, spare me!" The little eunuch was dragged out of the room, leaving only the cries of mercy drifting farther and farther away and the shoes kicked off in the struggle.
"What time is it?"
"Back to my lord, I guess we're going to set off now, it's just right."
It just refers to the time when the ministers go to court, Jing Zhan is not qualified to go to court, so he can only wait for the emperor to go to court if he has important things to say.
When Jing Zhan arrived at the palace, it coincided with the arrival of hundreds of officials.
The Emperor's Imperial Study.
"Did you do it this time?"
"Back to the emperor, it's done."
One person stands and one person sits in the study.
"How many silver taels will you find?"
"A total of more than 10 million taels of silver, ten boxes of jade antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and no valuation in the house garden, a total of eight."
"It's insatiable." The emperor sat on the stool and sighed, and then said, "I think when I saw him for the first time, I was overjoyed, and I felt that my Great Song Dynasty wanted to have one more good official who was rich and rich and had five cars, and two sleeves and a clean breeze for the country and the people. ”
"The minister also thinks he should be killed."
The emperor nodded slightly.
"Don't leave the capital in the next few months, and if you have something important, leave it to the people around you."
"Yes."
Jing Zhan bowed his head and remained silent after answering, and the imperial study was a little quiet for a while. Jing Zhan knew that the emperor was looking at him, so he knelt on the ground and let the emperor look at him.
"Jing Aiqing is born handsome, and she doesn't drag her feet when she gets things done, but it's a pity." It's a pity that it's a eunuch. If he is a normal person, he can be an official, ruthless enough, decisive enough, and obedient enough, and ambition on the left and right can't escape the palm of his hand. "Can the eldest son of Prime Minister Li Cheng's family understand?"
"Done the research."
"Oh? That's to understand, talk to me. ”
"Both civil and military, clean and self-sufficient."
"Okay, good, that's good, it's worthwhile, let's stop here today, there is another thing for you to do, I want you to protect someone, she is the Ronghua girl I gave the jade pendant."
Jing Zhan nodded yes, thinking that maybe he should check that Rong Hua.
When I left the palace, I did something again, and when I wanted to go back to my house, it was already close to evening, the sun was setting, and the capital was dyed in the twilight.
Rong Hua suddenly appeared in such a scene, her face was anxious, her hair was scattered, and she was quite helpless.
When she looked at herself, there was a light in her helpless eyes, and then she ran towards her.
"Lord Jing, Lord Jing."
How could an ordinary person casually approach his carriage, and he was stopped halfway through.
"Let her come."
A low and gentle voice sounded, Rong Hua was overjoyed, and waved away the arm that stopped her.
She grabbed the carriage tightly with both hands and looked up at him, "Master Jing, help me, help me find Zhao Gang, he is missing." He sat in the carriage and listened quietly, and when he heard Zhao Gang, he turned his head to look at Rong Hua, wasn't that person caught by him, "Yes, you may not know who he is, he is on an errand in the barracks over there." Rong Hua stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the barracks behind him.
When did she become so soft-hearted, and she was stared at by those hopeful eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse her, and the emperor had an order, so it was just that. "You get into the carriage first." With that, he lowered the curtain.
"Hmm!"
"Bang"
Jing Zhan opened his eyes and frowned.
"My lord, this man has fainted."
