Chapter 41: A false alarm
"Slow, don't do it, brothers of the soldiers, let the official see who they are first, and understand why they are here, and it is not too late for you to start taking people." Bao Zheng, who was walking quickly, hurriedly gave an order to the soldiers who were about to start.
Seeing that Bao Zheng had spoken, a group of box soldiers stood still and did not move, and the commander of Zhao, who had previously claimed to take people, had no choice but to give up, waved his hand, and signaled that the box soldiers under him should not act rashly.
Bao Zheng, who walked to the front, took advantage of the sky-high fire in the backyard to see the faces of the twenty or so people who had just been surrounded by a group of soldiers, and he really didn't know it, and he was startled when he saw it.
What Bao Zheng never expected was that among the more than 20 people standing in front of him at this moment, there were five people he recognized, namely Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, Empress Cao, Miao Guifei, Zhao Huiruo of Princess Fukang and Zhang Maoze, the deputy of the inner chamberlain, who immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
However, what made Bao Zheng feel secretly glad was that thanks to his foresight, he stopped this group of unknown soldiers in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Fang Cai had a false alarm, Bao Zheng felt that he almost caused a catastrophe, and was about to kowtow to Song Renzong Zhao Zhen to apologize, but saw Zhang Mao rushing to him with two arrows, with a smile on his face, holding Bao Zheng's arm.
Subsequently, Zhang Mao politely declined: "Bao Gong, you are the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, when you are a member of the three products of the dynasty, although you have been friends with my lord for many years, my lord is a commoner, and he can't afford such a big gift, and I hope that Bao Gong will take back his life." ”
As soon as Zhang Maoze's voice fell, Bao Zheng immediately understood the meaning conveyed in his words, immediately retracted his body, and pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "Hehe, Deacon Zhang, not only am I friends with your master, but the two of us are also old acquaintances." Just now, the soldiers present don't know that you are coming, how offended you are, and I hope you can be Haihan! ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Mao took over the conversation and responded easily: "Bao Gong, you filtered!" As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty! What's more, these soldiers didn't do anything to us, and our lord, woman, and young lady didn't care.
"It's just that my lord has an urgent matter tonight and went to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion to look for you, but he was told by the official on duty in Kaifeng Mansion that you came to the Yamen of the Street Division and never returned. No, our lord came all the way here.
"I don't know if the street division has not latched the door, and after a few pushes, the door opens by itself. Our lord came in with someone without permission. It turned out that the front yard was pitch black, and there was not even a shadow of a person. Suddenly I heard the backyard full of people, so we rushed to the backyard to look for you. No matter what, now that I finally found you, it is worth the trip. ”
Hearing that Song Renzong Zhao Zhen had an urgent matter to discuss with him tonight, Bao Zheng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and he naturally did not dare to be the slightest neglect, so he first made a gesture of "withdraw" to the surrounding Xiangjun soldiers.
Subsequently, Bao Zheng hurriedly ordered: "Brother Xiangjun, they are all friends of my Bao, tonight from the Kaifeng Mansion all the way to the street division Yamen, there is an urgent matter for Bao to discuss. There was a false alarm, you all step back and go back to your original seats to eat and drink. ”
After Bao Zheng's order was finished, Commander Zhao took the five hundred soldiers of the Xiang Army of this battalion under him, and with just a few blinks of his eyelids, they retreated like a tide, which can be described as well-trained.
Seeing that the soldiers of the box army retreated, Zhang Maoze, who was standing opposite Bao Zheng, continued: "Bao Gong, there are many people here, my lord asks you to borrow a step to speak." There is no one in the front yard now, so let's find an office room to discuss things. ”
This is not the Kaifeng Mansion, but the street department's yamen, the front yard office is locked, and the key is not in Bao Zheng's hand, but by the street secretary Cheng Wang Hao's keeping.
So, Wang Hao left the noisy backyard with them, and after just a moment's effort, he came to the relatively quiet front yard.
Wang Hao, who was walking in front, felt that the old man who was an uninvited guest was Bao Zheng's old friend for many years, and he was still a good friend, so he turned on the office room he was using, and used a fire breaker to light a few oil lamps in the office room.
Because Bao Zheng wanted to talk to the old man alone in the office room, Wang Hao didn't stay much after lighting the oil lamp in the board room, and retreated to the door to wait very interestingly, and the people waiting outside the door didn't know that he was alone, as well as Empress Cao, Miao Guifei and Zhao Huiruo's mother and daughter, as well as Zhang Mao and the twenty inner guards.
As soon as Wang Hao exited the door, Zhang Maoze, who was guarding the door, respectfully invited Song Renzong, Zhao Zhen and Bao Zheng into the office room, and then closed the door with his hand.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Wang Hao felt very bored, and suddenly took a look, and suddenly found that next to the two ladies, there was a girl who was as beautiful as a flower, and suddenly he was distracted.
"Hey, woman, let's meet again today! It's just that I'll see you tonight, you didn't wear men's clothes, and I didn't recognize you in the backyard. In my opinion, you look better in women's clothes than in men's clothes! As if he had discovered a new continent, Wang Hao stared intently at Zhao Huiruo, who was a foot away from her, and stepped forward cheekily, and said in surprise.
From the moment he stepped into the Yamen of the Street Division, Zhao Huiruo had made up his mind that he would pretend not to know Wang Hao, even if Wang Hao recognized her, he would ignore him.
However, if Zhao Hui saw Wang Hao's skinless and faceless appearance, she was angry, and immediately responded angrily: "You disciple, Hugh is talking nonsense, I met you for the first time tonight, before that, I didn't know you at all, please stay away from me." Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”
Originally, Wang Hao thought that he gave Zhao Huiruo ten homemade sanitary napkins two days ago, and told her some women's precautions during the Kwai Shui period, and Zhao Huiruo should repay him.
What Wang Hao never expected was that when she saw Zhao Huiruo again, instead of expressing her gratitude, she even pretended not to know each other in front of people, which suddenly made Wang Hao quite angry.
Afraid that Zhao Hui would really do something to him, Wang Hao hurriedly took three steps back, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You woman, use people to face forward, don't need people to be super thick, cross the river and tear down the bridge." You don't recognize Ben Si Cheng, hum, Ben Si Cheng still doesn't recognize you, who is afraid of whom! ”
Empress Cao and Concubine Miao, who stood side by side with Zhao Huiruo, had never known who Wang Hao was in civilian clothes, and at first, they thought that Wang Hao was just a handyman of the Street Division, responsible for keeping the key to the office in the front yard of the Street Division.
Suddenly, at this time, the two of them heard that Wang Hao was calling himself "Ben Sicheng" in the process of talking to Zhao Huiruo, which immediately attracted the attention of the two of them, and the bored sisters immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Next, Miao Guifei rushed at Wang Hao, who was half a foot away from their mother, and swung the four fingers of her left hand back and forth a few times, and said with a smile: "Presumably you are Wang Sicheng of the Street Division, come here, my sister and I have something to ask you!" ”
