Volume 4: Fighting Against the King of Luoyang Chapter 239: Searching the County Government (1)
The palace maid was combing the queen mother's hair, and a eunuch walked in and bowed to the queen mother and said: "Queen Mother, Zhao Ying, the lord of Luoyang Palace, asks to see you.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned and said: What, Ying'er is here.
After thinking for a while, he instructed the eunuch: Let Ying'er come in.
Zhao Ying walked in, came to the queen mother, knelt down on her knees and said: Ying'er meets the imperial aunt.
The Queen Mother hurriedly stood up and stretched out her hand to pull her up, then pulled her to the side of the bed and sat down and asked kindly: Ying'er, why did you suddenly come here, is there something wrong with the imperial aunt?
Zhao Yingdao: Aunt Huang, is the incident you told my mother true?
Hearing this, the queen mother was stunned for a moment, then understood, her face couldn't help but change, and she turned her head to the two palace maids who were waiting for her and ordered: You go down first.
The two palace maids responded in unison: Yes, Queen Mother.
Walked out.
After the palace maid went out, the queen mother asked Zhao Ying: Ying'er, what did your mother tell you?
Zhao Yingdao: My mother said that I can't marry Ying Long, because Ying Long is another biological son of the emperor's aunt, and I and Ying Long are cousins, is that true?
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face suddenly became pale and stunned, and she muttered after a while: Why did you ------ your mother tell you this, didn't I tell her not to let her say it to anyone.
Zhao Yingdao: I don't blame my mother for this, I forced my mother to say it, Aunt Huang, is this true?
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Ying'er, this is true, Ying Long is indeed my other biological son."
Hearing this, two lines of tears poured out from Zhao Ying's eyes, and she choked up: How can ------ be like this, how can it be like this, what should I do?
The Queen Mother raised a hand and gently touched Zhao Ying's back and persuaded: Ying'er, forget Yinglong, there are good men in the world, and my aunt is responsible for finding you a better one.
Zhao Ying threw herself into the arms of the queen mother and cried bitterly, crying and shouting: Aunt Huang, I don't want anyone, I just want Ying Long, I can't live without Ying Long, I really can't live.
The queen mother's eyes also shed tears, and she said guiltily: Your imperial aunt is really evil, really evil.
Wu Xiugu snorted coldly and was speechless, but it could be seen from her face that she was unwilling.
Huang Juntong thought for a while and said: Sir, please wait for a while, I will discuss with Mr. Wu and then reply to you.
Gongsun Ce said: Huang County will accept the invitation.
Huang Juntong pulled Wu Xiugu aside and asked in a low voice: Mr. Wu, you didn't take someone to do this, right?
Hearing this, Wu Xiugu said angrily: Of course not, how could I do such a bad thing.
After speaking, he paused, and then said: I don't think there is such a thing at all, it must be that Bao Zhifu and the predecessor Qi Zhifu are relatives or friends, our county magistrate has taken Qi Zhifu down, he has a grudge and finds fault to take revenge on our adults.
Hearing this, Huang Juntong shook his head and said: This is impossible, Bao Zheng I know, he is honest and honest, selfless, this time he brought people to search the county government, it must be that someone in their government was kidnapped, and someone gave them false news, saying that the person was kidnapped by us, if this is the case, we really can't help but let people search, otherwise it will seem that we are very weak-minded, not what we did but also what we did. Besides, Bao Zheng must have come prepared this time, if my expectations are correct, our county government must be surrounded by people's soldiers and horses. And Lord Li, Elder Toutuo, Lord Zhao, and Miss Shi are all out and away, once we make trouble, I'm afraid we are not people's opponents, so let's just put up with it and let people check, and when Lord Li comes back, he will go to Bao Zheng to ask for an explanation.
Hearing this, Wu Xiugu said helplessly: Okay, let them search, if they can't find it, see if I can spare them.
Huang Juntong walked back to Bao Zheng and said, "Master Bao, you can check."
Bao Zheng nodded and said to Gongsun Ce: Mr. Gongsun, you can arrange it.
Gongsun Ce responded: Yes, my lord.
Then, he turned his head to face the people: Seventh Lady, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, you are divided into five groups and each of you will take five people to check the county office, and if there is any situation, you will immediately send a signal to notify us.
After that, he turned to Huang Jun's fellow Dao: Huang Xiancheng, what about you, how do you assign people?
Huang Juntong turned to Wu Xiugu and said: Mr. Wu, you can assign it.
Wu Xiugu nodded and said: We also sent five groups, each group of six people, and each group followed a group of the government office.
After saying that, he waved his hand and summoned all the girls together, and after a while they formed five groups, and then scattered away with the five groups of the government office.
Zhang Yunfang and Chunlan were eating in the house, when there was a knock on the door, and then a female voice said: Madam, are you in the house?
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: I am here.
Turned his head to Chunlan and said: Chunlan, go and see, who is looking for me.
Chunlan hurriedly got up from the chair and walked to the door, muttering as she walked: Who is this, come to knock on the door early in the morning, and the food will not be stable.
So saying, he came to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Hu rushed in with five people.
Chunlan was startled and asked, "Hey, who are you, what are you doing, why did you break into our house?"
Then a girl in white from the county government walked in and explained to Chunlan: Sister Chunlan, they are from the government and came to check.
Hearing this, Chunlan said angrily: The people in the government are amazing, come here to check something.
After that, he shouted to Zhao Hu and the others: Get out, let me out.
Zhang Yunfang came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The girl in white saluted Zhang Yunfang and said: "Madam, two women were kidnapped by the government last night, and they suspected that our people did it, so they brought people to our county government early in the morning to search.
Chunlan Dao: After making trouble for a long time, we were searched as criminals, not an inspection.
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang said strangely: How can they suspect us, how can our people do such a thing, you adults are not at home, who will be in charge of the county government now?
The girl in white said: Huang Xiancheng and our Mr. Wu are in charge of the county office.
After Zhao Hu led someone to search the house, he walked over, looked at Zhang Yunfang and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl in white answered: This is the wife of our magistrate.
Hearing this, Zhao Hu nodded and said: It turned out to be Mrs. Zhixian, madam, where did you hide the two girls you kidnapped?
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang's face sank and he said angrily: Why are you talking like this, why do you insist that it is us who kidnapped your two girls, if you don't have evidence to talk nonsense, I will tell you that you are framed.
Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Yo, Madam knows a lot."
Chunlan glared at Zhao Hu fiercely and said, "Do you think our lady is an ordinary person?" Let me tell you, our lady's father was once the head of the court, a member of the first rank, and the official is much more than your prefect.
Hearing this, Zhao Hu smiled again: Disrespectful, disrespectful.
With a wave of his hand, he shouted: Brothers, go, go to another place to check.
Took people out.
The girl in white saluted Zhang Yunfang and said apologetically: Madam, the room is messed up, you can clean it up by yourself, I and the sisters outside have to accompany them to continue to check, I can't help you.
With that, he turned around and hurried out.
Du Qi's sister-in-law led a group of people into the back garden, and saw the small stone barn in the corner, she pointed to the barn and asked a girl in white: What is that place?
The girl in white said: It is a warehouse for sundries.
Du Qi's sister-in-law walked quickly to the door of the warehouse, saw that the door was locked, turned her head and ordered a girl in white who followed her: Open the door.
The girl in white said: I don't have the key, Madame, wait a minute, I'll go get the key.
Du Qi's sister-in-law said coldly: Don't bother.
With the power of the long sword in his hand, he slashed towards the copper lock, only to hear a "dang chang" sound, the lock fell to the ground, and Du Qi's sister-in-law opened the door and walked in.
