Chapter 831: Night
(I guess you must have a monthly pass at the bottom of the box, so...... What are you keeping for? Why don't you vote for it? Is solo fun better than having fun with the author? )
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, in the last two days of January, the imperial court finally announced the results of Wang Hai's investigation.
Wang Hai himself is dead, and the crime he committed is the so-called of a single person, with no accomplice or instigator...... This is where the case should be over.
However, some people are in a hurry to close the case, so there are already people who want to take advantage of the problem and do not give up.
Therefore, on the day when Wang Hai's case was announced, the officials' twists and turns flew into the palace wall like snowflakes.
It is not a big deal to see the excitement, and most officials pointed the finger at the East Factory in order to pull the East Factory into the water.
However, after the results of this investigation came out, most of them attacked the West Factory, saying that they were in collusion with Wang Haixin and deliberately concealed the facts of the case.
The rhetoric was more intense, and simply said that Liu Jinzhong was the instigator behind the scenes, so he killed Wang Hai.
Of course, these were the struggles of the top of the imperial court, and they did not have much impact on the low-level officials below.
For example, Wu Jianxing, the general banner who brought Wang Hai back to the capital, when he learned that the case was over, his heart fell to the ground.
These days have been worrying, and today Wu Jianxing suddenly felt enlightened, so he immediately asked his wife to prepare wine and food.
He was going to have two drinks tonight with his two brothers, who had been on vacation these days and hadn't seen each other in days.
Wu Jianxing has been informed that he should go to the yamen tomorrow to be on duty, and the yamen has already made up for the dead man.
So before returning to duty, Wu Jianxing decided to relax and have a drink with his good brothers.
The fire was on at home, and after watching his wife busy in the kitchen, Wu Jianxing went out to invite his two brothers.
The three of them were not too far from each other, so Wu Jianxing walked slowly on the street, stopping by to see if there was anything to buy.
It was about half an hour before he arrived at the house with his two brothers, and by this moment the hot meal was already on the table.
"Master, you eat slowly!" Wu's wife stood at the table, rubbed her hands with her apron and said.
Wu Jianxing nodded, and then said: "You and your mother should also eat, take care of the child, don't let this kid run out to be naughty again!" ”
After his wife left, Wu Jianxing pointed to the position and said, "Come on, two brothers, take a seat!" ”
The table was placed in the middle of the courtyard, and only here could they show it.
On the square table, there are six plates, including pork head and peanuts, and four other stir-fried dishes.
After taking a seat, Wu Jianxing picked up the wine jar first and filled the bowl in front of the two brothers.
Putting down the wine jar, Wu Jianxingcha picked up the wine bowl, looked at Sun Liang and the others and said: "Two brothers, this time we go to Liangzhou, we will die for a lifetime, for us to be alive, do it!" ”
Although the words are simple, they are really touching, and they all came back after playing with their lives.
"Big brother, also respect those dead brothers!" Sun Liang said with a serious expression.
Wu Jianxing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then said, "Respect those brothers who died in battle!" ”
After saying this, the three of them picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
After the next two or three bowls of wine, I heard Sun Liang sigh with emotion: "Big brother, I look at the future, let's keep a low profile, don't take on this kind of errand anymore, we are too weak!" ”
This feeling of being affected by the waves of the imperial court and the possibility of capsizing at any time is really too worrying.
After being silent for a while, Wu Jianxing picked up the wine bowl and drank it all before he said, "Yes...... In the future, I won't ask for any more than 100 households, big brother, just live a down-to-earth life!"
Over the years, in order to seek the position of 100 households, Wu Jianxing can be said to have scattered all his family wealth, and this time he almost put his life into it.
But now that he has seen it, he no longer has illusions about his official position, and he can only think about his wife and children.
"Big brother, you are still the general banner of the Thousand Households in Nancheng, and there will be a chance to go up in the future!" Sun Liang comforted, although he didn't believe it himself.
Qin Yichuan also opened his mouth at this moment: "The Thousand Households Office is already screening the remaining members of each family, it is said that the manpower has been completed, and you are still the chief flag officer, big brother!" ”
The deceased lieutenant must be made up this time, and the son's adult son will be replaced, otherwise he can only give up his position to the brothers, and those who have no brothers will be chosen from among the cousins.
In short, the inheritance of the Jinyi Guard Captain has its own rules, and it is extremely risky to want to stuff people in casually.
Wu Jianxing only shook his head at the persuasion of the two brothers, and did not say anything else.
There was silence at the scene, but at this moment, there was the sound of broken tiles on the roof.
The alertness they had cultivated after returning from Liangzhou made them immediately look up at the roof, just in time to see a figure flashing by.
When the two brothers changed color, Wu Jianxing immediately said: "Chase!" ”
Then the three of them immediately got up and chased after them outside the courtyard.
It was evening, and it was still dark, but fortunately there weren't many people in the alley, so they could continue to track.
"Go over there!" Sun Liang reminded at this moment.
Because he saw the dark shadow just now, the three of them immediately chased after the alley at the other end.
There are many forks and curves in the alley, and it is undoubtedly difficult to chase people, but no matter how difficult it is, they have to chase them desperately.
But in the end, the three of them rushed out of the alley and came to the street where there were still many people.
Although the pedestrian crowd was bustling, they lost their purpose and could only stand in the middle of the street and look around.
People are lost......
After his breath calmed down, Sun Liang said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I don't think this matter is over yet!" ”
Wu Jianxing nodded with a solemn expression, and then said: "This person is coming for us, be careful these two days, and keep the knife on your body!" ”
They had experienced this situation many times on the way back to Beijing, so they also had experience in dealing with it.
But this also completely disappeared Wu Jianxing's good mood, and was replaced by a bigger stone pressing on him.
He really couldn't understand why there would be a killer biting him since the case was over, and Wang Hai himself was dead!
"Otherwise, that's it for tonight!" Wu Jianxing said in a deep voice, he had lost the interest in drinking.
Sun Liang nodded, and then said, "I have to go to the yamen tomorrow to be on an errand, so it's better to rest early!" ”
The three of them entered the alley together, their hearts were full of gloom, but they didn't say a word.
This kind of worrying life is really not a good time.
The three of them returned home, and Wu's wife came forward to inquire with concern, but was prevaricated by Wu Jianxing.
He didn't want his wife to worry, and he could only do these things alone.
"Let's all go back, be careful on the way!" Wu Jianxing finally admonished.
At this moment, the night was getting darker and darker, and at the other end of the capital, a series of horses' hooves sounded outside the Chen Mansion.
Chen Xiaoting, who was dressed in a red flying fish suit, held the reins outside the door of his house, and his own servant stepped forward to take the reins for him.
Immediately, Chen Xiaoting turned around and said to Yang Kai and the others who were in charge of escorting him: "You all go back and rest!" ”
"Yes!"
Immediately, Chen Xiaoting lifted the hem of his official uniform and walked to the door of the mansion.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Xiaoting took off the official hat from his head and handed it to the servant who was waiting on the side.
Continue to walk to the front hall, at this moment, the maid has already served tea, Chen Xiaoting took off the saber, and then sat down at the head of the front hall.
Picking up the teacup, Chen Xiaoting took a sip lightly, and suddenly felt refreshed, and the fatigue on his body disappeared a lot.
He was really busy today, and the emperor's will was sent to Beizhen Fusi in the afternoon, so Chen Xiaoting and Wang Ruolin spent the afternoon.
As a commander and acquaintance, nominally the personnel and financial power within Jinyiwei are all in the hands of Wang Ruolin, and Chen Xiaoting can't bypass Wang Ruolin if he wants to do things.
Fortunately, there is the emperor's will to open the way, although Wang Ruolin has the intention to obstruct it, but things are still developing according to Chen Xiaoting's ideas.
Just when Chen Xiaoting was planning tomorrow's affairs, he heard his wife's voice ringing in his ears: "Husband, why did you come back so late today?" ”
"There are some things in the yamen, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy these days!" Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly.
"Have you eaten it? If not, the concubine will tell the kitchen to do it! Shen Yi said with concern.
"Not to mention, I'm really hungry!" Chen Xiaoting said unconcernedly.
