Chapter 849: Suspicious
Those who should know already know. The range of people who should know is not small, but at least, it definitely does not include Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu.
Since the return of Xingtai, the two of them are preparing for their marriage, because of various problems, plus a trip to Xingtai, so the marriage date of the two cousins is delayed today tomorrow, tomorrow is delayed the day after tomorrow, but there are more and more things to prepare, and it is only at the end of the year that it is a little free.
There is no need to go to Guozijian to go to school, and they are not so interested in going to the public school Banshan Hall to hang out with a group of small characters. The second is that Zhang Chen was deceived by Zhang Shou to go to the countryside to face off against the four princes, and they have no leader, so they can't help but have nothing to do. Thirdly, Zhang Shou is too busy and newly married, and the two students who know how to measure the most are embarrassed to bother.
But now he was suddenly called out of home by Zhang Shou sent Ah Liu, and then went out of the city to the public school, and after hearing Zhang Shou's explanation in the school hall, the brothers Rao is now feeling that they are well-informed and experienced, and they are still dumbfounded.
The descendants of Taizu established a country overseas? And blatantly sent a boatload of people back purported to be the mission? And it claims to be not just one ship, but a huge mission with eight ships? This is a singing opera, or a legend, isn't it true?
Zhang Wu, who was more simple before the meeting, was dazed, and Zhang Lu, who had always been slippery, frowned, and Zhang Shou said bluntly: "The fourth prince will also come over when he turns back, so you don't have to worry." I have the responsibility, you just need to do a good job of reception and talk. β
Zhang Shoudu straightforwardly explained the two words of the clichΓ©, and learned that the four princes would also come to sit in town, although they knew that the bear child had never been a reliable person compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, but Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were still a little relieved. Probably because they are used to being followers, of course they are more inclined to follow others to do things.
If the disadvantage is that there is merit, the big credit belongs to others, and the small credit will fall on them. But the advantage is that they don't have to bear the biggest responsibility, and they are definitely not the first to have an accident.
So, in the next few days, a group of students from Zhang Shou performed their own duties, and none of them were idle in the days before the Chinese New Year, which should have been the most leisurely.
Zhang Chen, who didn't know what was going on, because of Zhang Shou's previous foolishness, took his Qin State Mansion as the base camp for the deduction of the war situation, and also let the word out, because of Liang Chu and a few people, he attracted a lot of good people to take the initiative to participate; Lu Saburo is still discussing the difference between investment and financial management and investment according to shares; Zhu Er took Ji Jiu and Zhang Da Da and formed a "deep" friendship with Zhe Shanjun, although the actual situation was that people were extremely annoyed with their three noble children.
After the public school class officially ended on the 24th of the lunar month, Zhang Shou sent Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan, who were already aware and worried, away, and immediately personally organized the students to carry out a thorough cleaning inside and outside the school - which happened to coincide with the special day of dust removal day. Although he didn't inform the four princes, he came out of the palace and rolled up his sleeves and worked in full swing.
Although most of the time it's just adding to the chaos. Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Cheng and Little Peanut, Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui, two small ones, followed behind the four princes and took a bite of a little Mr. Zheng, which made the bear child happy.
Therefore, on the 25th day of the lunar month, the school building inside and outside has already been cleaned up. In order to accommodate the things that should be added to the mission, the emperor also generously allocated money from his inner treasury, and added everything from beds to quilts and various utensils. Zhang Shou bought all the bookcases and wardboxes in the student dormitory by the way, and was fully prepared for the addition of dormitory classes next year.
The sharp cavalry battalion that arrived in advance to set up a defense here first cleaned the street, so that all the neighbors thought that it was a big man who did not know where he came from to drive to the public school, and while the doors of every house were closed, they could not help but look out through the crack in the door, but only a line of sergeants who were obviously the color of foreign military uniforms were walking on the street with several carriages guarding the enemy.
But when they looked at the style of those carriages, they only felt that they didn't look like some nobles sitting on them at all, because the black oil carriages and black curtains even looked a little eerie at first glance. However, no one thinks that this public society is used to detain any prisoners, after all, on this big holiday day, who dares to block the famous Bachelor Zhang?
When he was about to arrive at the public school, the dusty Shanhaiwei sergeant was caught between a group of sharp cavalry battalions, and then the innermost were these black oil carriages, seeing the coachman rushing through the gate in order, the commander at the head couldn't help but feel relieved, and even couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead in the cold weather. Immediately after, he heard a gentle voice.
"It's been a hard journey."
The commander followed the prestige, and only felt that this dark winter day was instantly bright. Although I have long heard of the famous Bachelor Zhang, who is handsome and handsome, I really saw with my own eyes that he, the old man who struggles to live in the guard in the bitter cold place all day long, still can't help but give birth to God is unfair, and I can't see this kind of person in the guard.
He hurriedly pressed down this kind of thought that it was easy to get into trouble, and stepped forward to greet with a smile on his face: "It's not hard, it's not hard, Bachelor Zhang is still busy with this bullshit thing for the New Year, that's hard." As soon as he spoke, he realized that his words were too rude, but it was too late to remedy them.
Zhang Shou didn't care about this foul language at all, after all, he often said things that were not very elegant and did not conform to his design.
"No matter how busy I am, I am in the capital, but you still have to go back and forth during the Chinese New Year, of course, it is even harder. Just now, this carriage was changed by them when they were about to arrive in the capital, right? You escorted the gallop all the way, morning and evening, without stopping, so the emperor was sympathetic, ordered someone to prepare winter clothes for you, and prepared a banquet in the public school, and you had a good rest after eating. β
The commander immediately thanked him repeatedly, and soon someone came up and beckoned the forty mountain and sea guards who had closely guarded the so-called important figures of the Chinese Mission, and went to eat the banquet given by the emperor together with the commander.
And when I saw that the emperor actually rewarded the imperial wine at the banquet, and there were ten yuan per person, even if the charcoal basin in the house was not very warm, but from top to bottom, I still felt that the road was not in vain, and my mouth never stopped thinking about the grace of heaven.
And after arranging these mountain and sea guards who worked hard all the way, Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to complain when he saw the circle of sharp cavalry battalion sergeants outside the public school who were like facing a great enemy. Is this a temporary measure, or is it a preparation for how long people will stay here, and how long will such a large group of guards stay here? This scene is so scary! After a long time, it's no wonder that the neighbors don't treat the public school as a temporary cell!
Thinking about it at this time, he came forward to negotiate with the soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, these guys only have the monarch's order and the military order in their eyes, and they don't care about anything else, let alone him, I'm afraid that even the fourth prince may not be effective if he comes forward in person, of course he won't go to Fei, after turning around and returning to his own school, he asked Zhang Lu to write a book on his behalf, of course, not through the political department, but through the channel of the secret box.
However, he had just arranged Zhang Lu's work, and was thinking about how to meet the people who were brought here by the black cloth sleeve in the black oil carriage, when he heard the clear voice of the fourth prince.
"Teacher, everyone's here, when are we going to meet them?"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile dumbly, he glanced at the bear child with an expectant face, and then hugged his hand with a smile and said: "People have just been sent over, and they still have such an attitude of preventing thieves, it is absolutely impossible to feel relaxed and happy in my heart." The next thing to do is to let them eat, bathe, and rest, instead of rushing to see them now. β
"The person who is in a hurry now shouldn't be us, so we have to calm down."
Seeing that the fourth prince suddenly wilted, he said with a smile: "Of course, if I don't go, it doesn't mean that you can't go." Little Peanut and Xiao Cheng have already changed their clothes, if you think you can do things like delivering wine and food, then go with them. However, people don't know that you are the prince, in case you are humiliated by others, don't say I didn't remind you. β
The fourth prince's eyebrows fluttered, and he immediately shouted: "Teacher, you are too underestimated about me, what is called forbearance and humiliation, I still know this!" Besides, these guys are spreading wild on my Ming territory, and they don't have the guts to do so! I'll go now, teacher, just wait for my good news! β
Zhang Shou saw the bear child rushing out like a gust of wind, and when he couldn't help laughing, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Wu's dumbfounded expression, and immediately quipped: "What, don't worry about him?" Think it's too casual for me to let people out like this? β
"No, no, no!" Zhang Wu hurriedly shook his head into a rattle, "I know that the teacher must arrange for someone to keep an eye on the four princes, but I just didn't expect that he would even be willing to do the things of the little servants." You must know that in the past, he thought of himself the highest, and he was always worried that others would look down on him and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Mid-Levels Hall. β
Because of the eagerness to justify, Zhang Wu didn't see that Zhang Lu was desperately trying to give himself a look, and directly took out what was in his heart. And when he realized that there was a mistake in his words, he saw Zhang Shou smiling at him and said: "This kind of mentality is normal, after all, when he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were in the palace in the past, they were really bullied by the two brothers. It's the same as yours. β
Bringing up the old things again, Zhang Wu's face was a little unnatural, but Zhang Lu hurriedly lowered his head to hide the emotions on his face. And the next moment, Zhang Lu, who was racking his brains to write an article on behalf of Zhang Shou, heard that Zhang Shou had sent Zhang Wu a task.
"The fourth prince took Xiao Cheng and Xiao Peanut to do the work of the servants in person, you also work hard, go to the soldiers of Shanhaiwei, entertain them on my behalf, and say a few nice words. If you can ......"
"Use all your skills and get them drunk!"
Seeing that Zhang Wu immediately agreed, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "However, you don't need to hear any news from them, you just need to make sure that everyone is well fed and drunk." If someone asks you for something, just say you're the future colt. In the future, the pony will personally come forward to entertain this kind of thing, which is enough for them to blow it with people for a lifetime! β
As Zhang Shou said, when he learned that Zhang Wu was the future princess of Deyang, from the commander of Shanhaiwei to the soldiers under the bottom, everyone was excited, so Zhang Wu toasted casually, and they raised their necks and drank without ambiguity. After three rounds of drinking, more than half of the people at the two tables were drunk.
Fortunately, they had already eaten Haisai for a while before, and they could be regarded as filling their stomachs. And as a person was drunk and put down to rest, only the commander was still holding on. However, in the face of Zhang Wu's diligent persuasion, he seemed to be unable to hold on in the end, so he had to grab Zhang Wu's sleeve and lower his voice with a bit of alcohol.
"Pony ...... Master Horse, I don't know if to ask or not, but I can't hold it back! Seeing that Zhang Wu smiled and nodded, with an expression that you might as well ask directly, he stepped forward and asked word by word, "Let's go back and fall asleep when we get drunk, will we just be unable to sleep?" β
Zhang Wu was directly stunned by the question. After a long while, he realized what the other party meant, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry. After drinking too much, he simply said bluntly at this time: "What nonsense are you talking about! Everyone in Shanhaiwei knows about this, can they hide it? If you want to kill people and kill people, just send someone to receive you, why do you want me to come? β
"It's you who come, and the brothers will let their guard down, otherwise why would they have drunk so much just now!" The conductor's eyes narrowed slightly, and although the mouth on his body was still full of alcohol, the drunkenness was gone. Seeing Zhang Wu frowning in confusion, his drunken state was clearly unpretentious, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Is it really not his own boss who deliberately wants to frame him, and he himself is too suspicious? However, Emperor Taizu left any descendants when he founded the country overseas is really a big deal, especially when there is really such a team of self-proclaimed envoys who swaggered through the city and entered Beijing from Shanhaiwei, so how can he not worry?
Zhang Wu really drank too much wine at this time, and after seeing that he was telling the truth, the commander still seemed to refuse to give up, so he said angrily: "Besides, as far as you regard it as a big secret, my teacher and little master, as well as the elders and other elders in the court, and my father and their nobles, all know it for a long time!" β
"You can't contain fire in the paper, if you really want to kill people and extinguish your mouth, it's just such a boat, isn't it good for Shanhaiwei to be slaughtered directly? Do you want to bring it to the capital? It's okay to figure out what! It's like I used to, I always felt that everyone wanted to harm me, but now that I think about it, it's really the paranoia of victimization that the teacher said! When you're not useful, your family doesn't bother to look at you, and when you're useful, everyone wants to look up at you......"
Hearing Zhang Wu talking and talking incoherently began to complain about his own affairs, the commander really confirmed that this quasi-concubine was really drunk. Seeing that the person was burping on the table like this, thinking about what would happen if his words and attitude just now were revealed, he finally began to sweat on his forehead.
And at this moment, he heard a leisurely voice outside: "How is it, you shouldn't be worried now, right?" You are a tiger general who tears tigers and leopards alive, and you are still worried that you will end up unclear because of this unknown thing? β
Zhang Shou, who came in unhurriedly outside the door, saw that the commander suddenly jumped up, rushed forward two steps towards him, and suddenly stopped, and then looked left and right, very unnatural, he said with a smile: "If you are still not at ease, I just sent a student to write a letter to the emperor on his behalf." If you don't want to run back to Shanhaiwei on a cold day, how about staying at this public school to help guard for a few days? β
In the face of this unexpected proposal, the commander who was full of anxiety was immediately overjoyed, and immediately exclaimed without thinking: "Good! β
