Hong Shanchang's forehead was full of green muscles, and his temples were jumping suddenly, and he was so angry that he was smoking. He has lived for most of his life, and when he was in Jiangxi, he once exposed the true form of a few sanctimonious hypocrites, and was conspired by others because of this, but these people are bright and bright, secretly male thieves and female prostitutes, everything is a conspiracy and calculation, how could he ever encounter Zhang Shou's reckless approach?

He stared at Zhang Shou viciously, and roared in a low voice: "Zhang Shou, you dare to summon us at the gate of the Yashe of our mountain chiefs and openly hijack me into the car, it is simply arrogant and bold!" Do you think I dare not call anyone? I'm saving face for you! ”

"It's good to teach Chief Hongshan to know that if you want to call for help, the guards outside are all transferred from the Rui Cavalry Battalion to my house after the emperor heard the news from the second prince, and I am an insignificant petty official to act as a servant."

Three or two sentences made Hong Shanchang's face dark, and Zhang Shou said with a smile: "If I hadn't made this decision and forcibly pulled Hong Shanchang into the car, with your prejudice against me, I didn't have anything to say to you and walked away, then how could you and I be calm and ride in the same car at this time, gossiping about the past and the present?" ”

Hong Shanchang almost vomited blood in anger, this is called calm? Do you know that I just endured it and endured it, so I didn't shout that someone hijacked celebrities on the street! I'm afraid that those onlookers will also treat me as the protagonist of the monkey show, otherwise how would I be so polite to you! Of course, at this time, when he learned that Zhang Shou's servants were actually appointed by the emperor, he unconsciously felt a sour heart.

The emperor doesn't care about the emperor at all, but Zhang Shou, who only knows the scriptures and doesn't understand the scriptures, steals from a high position, how can there be such a reason in the world!

He smiled when he became more and more depressed, and then said coldly: "According to what you said, Master Zhang, you came here today to rob me by order?" ”

"If I say yes, then the emperor will carry the black cauldron. And if I say no, then I'll carry the black pot. Zhang Shou said two words like tongue twisters, and when he saw that Hong Shanchang was unexpectedly angry and crooked his nose, he said sincerely, "So, please don't be impatient for a while,"

Although he didn't believe half a word of Zhang Shou's nonsense, the black-faced Hong Shanchang didn't bother to continue to fight with people in the car. After all, the thought that these bickering words would be heard by the guards of the sharp cavalry camp outside made him lose the slightest interest in opening his mouth. He didn't want to look at the face in front of him that was too dazzling, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't know how long it took before he heard a faint voice: "Young master, it's here." ”

Seeing that Hong Shan Chang suddenly opened his eyes, and Ah Liu had already quickly drilled out of the car door and stood under the head to wait, Zhang Shou smiled and leaned out of the car first, and after standing still, he turned his head to look at Hong Shan Chang and said: "Unfortunately, Ah Liu said before, that small restaurant with good taste is just closed now, let's go to this tea house to make do with it." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out of the car, Hong Shanchang wouldn't even want to move. At this moment, he got out of the car very reluctantly, but when he saw the hanging signboard, his face was even darker than a pot helmet.

This Xinglong Tea House, which even the Son of Heaven has been to more than once, before ordinary people go in, most of them have to weigh whether the purse is rich or not, which is called making do? He has been sarcastic behind his back, the people who patronize here are Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road!

If it comes, it will be safe. Anyway, he was "hijacked" by Zhang Shou, and Hong Shanchang also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Shou's gourd, so under the polite invitation of the person, he walked straight inside without saying a word. I saw that at this time when it was not the time to eat, there were still seven or eight tables of guests on the first floor, and there were two tables on the second floor.

And he was looking at this obviously inappropriate place to speak, but he only heard Zhang Shou's voice behind him: "Chief Hong Shan, let's go up to the third floor." ”

Although the sound was not loud, it was still heard on the empty second floor. I saw that the guests at the two tables all looked towards the staircase, and then very naturally skipped the old and wrinkled Hong Shanchang, and their eyes were all focused on the handsome Zhang Shou. Although there are outstanding nobles in the capital, there is probably only one who can calmly say that he goes up to the third floor.

Even if Hong Shanchang has been to this place once, he still knows what the meaning of the third floor represents, and at this time he subconsciously wanted to stop Zhang Shou, but then he only felt that his arm was held by someone again, and the next moment, he was directly dragged up by Zhang Shou.

Just like he didn't shout in the carriage just now, although his face was pale, Hong Shanchang still restrained the urge to scold. In front of the public, could it be that he wanted to reprimand Zhang Shou for not going to the third floor that the emperor once occupied? But the problem is that this is not a royal forbidden garden, and it cannot be regarded as a conventional truth.

And Ah Liu watched Zhang Shou and Hong Shan grow up, but he stood at the top of the stairs. Seeing that the guy who followed him poked his head and looked around, he said calmly: "Make a good pot of tea, four-color refreshments, and the taste is lighter." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the two tables of guests on the second floor, and saw that several people were also drinking tea and refreshments on the table, obviously drinking tea and chatting in this place, and the accent didn't sound like a local in the capital.

When the Xinglong Tea House was renovated and renovated, the floors and windows on the third floor were all designed with special mezzanine sound insulation, and even cotton blankets were wrapped inside, and the four boxes newly separated in the four corners after the imperial chef selection competition were very suitable for dignitaries to meet and talk here. Close the doors and windows of the box, unless you have a clairvoyant, it is absolutely impossible to hear what people are saying.

Of course, if the young master provoked Hong Shan Chang to the point where the thunder roared angrily, there would be no way.

Although it was a revisit to the old place, Zhang Shou did not have any interest in missing the imperial chef selection contest here, but he did not speak immediately, but waited until Ah Liu personally brought the refreshments, and hurriedly went down the stairs to guard, and he just forcibly invited Hong Shanchang to a separate small box in the corner of the east wall before he said straightforwardly: "What does Hong Shanchang think about the death of the second prince?" ”

Hong Shanchang was accustomed to those opening remarks that went around in circles, and he was very uncomfortable with Zhang Shou's straightforward style - however, he was forcibly taken into the carriage just now, and forcibly taken to the third floor of this Xinglong Tea House, and at this moment, he couldn't help but fight back in annoyance: "The life and death of the second prince are unknown, do you want him to die so much, Master Zhang?" ”

"That's right."

Zhang Shou admitted very happily, seeing that Hong Shanchang was stunned at first, and then took the case, after this muffled sound, the table from the teapot to the four saucers of refreshments did not move at all, but Hong Shanchang's right hand was visibly red, and he said lightly: "Because if the second prince is not dead, he will definitely be more uncomfortable than death now." ”

Although Hong Shanchang's temperament is a little pedantic, he is definitely not stupid, so of course he understands Zhang Shou's extraneous voice. However, it was precisely because he understood that he was extremely angry.

"Just because of this, do you want to bite the death of someone? What is the black and white of right and wrong? That's right, the second prince is not a weapon, he doesn't learn and has no skills, he doesn't listen to the teachings of his father, he is notorious in the capital, and even made a farce of insulting the daughter of the official eunuch on the street, and even poisoning Kunning Palace, but this is not the reason why the emperor said that he was dead without detailed investigation after he was killed! ”

He unconsciously raised his voice, forgetting the consequences of his physical mortal fetus just now and slapping the table hard, even if the slap was shocked and painful, he ignored it.

"My old servant came back yesterday and said that when I went out to buy paper, I heard two servants of the official eunuch family ridiculing each other, and I thought it was right at first, how can a guilty prince be compared with the well-being of all the people?"

"After all, there are corruption in the world, some are wasted, some are abandoned children waiting to be fed, and some are people who are unjustified, but this is not the reason why the second prince died at sea like this and no one cares!"

"What's more, if he dies like this, and the eldest prince dies like this, then won't anyone accuse the monarch's father, saying that the emperor is to abandon the elder and never suffer after the young, so he will abolish it first, and then kill his second son!"

Zhang Shouda didn't first take out the letter of unknown origin that Hong received last night, but directly "kidnapped" Hong Shanchang here with a tough attitude, and then further angered the other party with an understatement attitude, and finally lured out Hong Shanchang's heartfelt mantra.

"Hong Shan's long words are exaggerated, right? Who would suspect a father of killing a son? ”

"There are never more people in the world who have ill intentions! In order to prevent the slightest slight, it is necessary to find out the ins and outs of the matter, and not let people have the opportunity to pour dirty water on the monarch's father! Hong Shanchang stared at Zhang Shou's eyes and said word by word, "Master Zhang, you suddenly robbed me to come here today, because you already knew that I wanted to write a book and bluntly say that this matter should be investigated, right?" ”

He woke up to something, and became even more angry for a while: "You dare to buy the people around me to spy on me, you are so bold!" ”

Shocked by this too loud sound, Zhang Shou only felt that his ears were a little unbearable, so he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and press the eardrum, and then plucked his ears hard. However, his too casual actions further aroused Hong Shanchang's anger. The person was so angry that he reached out directly and wanted to grab his collar, but he opened his hand.

"Chief Hongshan, you are too self-indulgent, just a celebrity like you who has been given gold and released with ironclad money, it is not worth me to buy the people around you."

Zhang Shou said an extremely mean sentence, seeing that people were angry, he said calmly: "As for why I came to you because of the matter of the second prince, the reason is very simple, Ling Yan stayed well in the palace, but for no reason I received a note named to you, so I had no choice but to hand it over to me." ”

He paused for a moment and said in a very playful tone: "Of course, the content on this note is not at all the same as what you were worried about just now, Chief Hongshan. ”

As he spoke, he generously took out the letterhead and flattened it on the table, seeing that Hongshan Changhu squinted his eyes suspiciously, but after quickly scanning it to see the contents of it, he immediately became even more furious, and he said bluntly: "Of course, Ling Yan did not give it privately, but presented it to the prince first, and the prince even asked the emperor." If you don't believe it, the emperor and the crown prince can testify. ”

After explaining this section clearly, Zhang Shou saw that Hong Shanchang's anger was a little subdued, but he still looked vigilant, so he said angrily: "It's just that I don't believe a word of this kind of letter that hides its head and tail, let alone the emperor." But I really want to know, Chief Hongshan, you just said that it was purely for the emperor's order, so I hope to thoroughly investigate the death of the second prince......"

"Why do you feel so desperately that there are so many ill-intentioned people in the world?"

In other words, the world has been peaceful for so long, and there seems to be no rebel for many years. And the rebels, that is, the camp in Linhai, have had twice, but that is because they have committed serious crimes first, but after cleaning up again and again, there should not be any fish that have slipped through the net. In this case, how many people in the world dare to slander the monarch and the saint? ”

Hong Shanchang's face changed, but his eyes were fixed on the letterhead, as if he wanted to pierce and tear the letterhead with his eye knife. I don't know how long it took for him to seem to burst out a few words between his teeth.

"Someone sent me a letter." Knowing that Zhang Shou should not use the name of his daughter Hong to deceive himself, he couldn't help but hate itchy, "The letter said that this accident was not only a deliberate attempt to kill the prince, but also wanted to take the opportunity to smear the saint. I'm going back to Jiangxi anyway, and I've even said that I recommend my daughter to marry the eldest prince before, and I don't care if I do it again. ”

"Even if the letter is fake, a thorough investigation of the death of the second prince cannot be a false story! Today they were able to sink a ship carrying the second prince on the sea, and next time, they will naturally be able to make a fuss in the book of the Son of Heaven! ”

This is a dead brain who only takes the path he identifies himself!

Zhang Shou sighed in his heart for a moment, and then laughed and said: "The emperor just insisted that the second prince was dead, and he didn't say that he wouldn't investigate this matter." Moreover, if the second prince was really lucky to be rescued and sent to Beijing, or sent to the local government's mansion, the emperor would still recognize it. What the emperor wants to dispel is just the idea of some people who want to rise up and pull the tiger skin as a banner! ”

"As I said at the beginning, don't you think that after being rescued, you were coerced by others, and the second prince might as well be dead?"

Although it is indeed impossible for Zhang Shou to say that this possibility is impossible, Hong Shanchang has a rigid face as if everyone owes me three hundred times, but he did not answer. He casually picked up the bowl of tea he had just poured but had not drunk and poured it into his mouth, and then walked out without saying a word. And Zhang Shou not only did not stop him, but followed the person out of the small box that was obviously newly built.

When he arrived at the staircase on the third floor, he saw Hong Shanchang walking straight down, and he instructed Ah Liu: "Ah Liu, let the Han team outside escort Hong Shanchang back, you tell them that this is close to the public school, and you can follow me." In broad daylight, would anyone dare to stab me? ”
