Chapter 728: Fraud
Last night's ghost pretence, although Xiao Cheng was not professional, but the fourth prince was very sure that if he were to change to himself, he would probably speak more carefully and respond on the spot, but he definitely couldn't stand the smell of chicken blood on his face! Therefore, he still admires Xiao Cheng, but at this time, he only feels that this little guy is too unaware of the happiness and hardship.
Wouldn't it be better if there was something waiting for him and Little Peanut to do together? Besides, when I was dealing with the Chen family, the Fang family, and the Gao family yesterday, almost all of them were him and Xiao Peanut who were there to deal with people, Xiao Cheng was watching from the side most of the time, this kid was serious, but he was clumsy, it was okay to meet honest people, but it was easy to have a big deal when he met a tricky person!
The fourth prince Fei also put on his shoes, and while hurriedly preparing to go out, he complained angrily: "The people in the teacher's family are too, why don't you stop him!" ”
"Don't mention it, that dead eye has become smart this time, and he keeps saying that Brother Zhang told him to go out to the public school after getting up, and the sixth brother was not there, so he was let out at the door, and the stable gave him a horse!" Speaking of this, Xiaohua was angry, "I haven't usually seen this kid so clever, this time I took the wrong medicine!" What's the use of him going alone! ”
The two little ones walked all the way, complaining angrily all the way, but when they reached the stable in the front yard, they found that it seemed not so easy to walk.
It turned out that Zhang Shou used a carriage when he traveled in the morning, Wu took the car to the Zhao Guogong Mansion to discuss the marriage, and Song Juren pulled Fang Qing to take the car to the Jiangdu Palace, which was also related to someone's marriage; In addition, the four brothers Ye Mengqiu were summoned by the emperor today, and together with other astronomical talents, they went to discuss the matter of cultivating the calendar, and left in the car, and there were only three cars left in the stable.
And these three cars were all sat by Zhang Yuanzhong's servants when they went out, and they were just cleaned up on weekdays, even if they didn't leak from all sides, they were shabby and shabby. As for the carriage that the four princes sat in last night, it was still being thoroughly cleaned and wiped. Otherwise, if the smell of blood and messy groceries is not removed, can people still sit?
Seeing this scene, the four princes naturally claimed that they could ride horses and asked to bring two horses, but the steward in the stable could let Xiao Cheng out, but he never dared to let the four princes out like this - after all, Zhang Shou specially instructed when he went out in the morning that he must watch the bear child and wait for Ah Liu to come back to pick him up before he can release him. Therefore, no matter what the four princes say, people just refuse to give horses.
The anxious four princes didn't want to continue to waste time, so they simply grabbed the little peanut that wanted to continue to grind and soak, turned around and ran, but when they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by several porters. An Lu, who was the leader, limped and spoke politely and respectfully, but when it came to releasing people, he refused to let go at all, and the four princes were so anxious that they jumped to their feet.
Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What is this arguing about?" ”
Little Peanut was stunned when she heard this, and just raised her head, but the fourth prince had already begun to shout: "Sister Yingying, help, I want to go out, but they won't let me go, I have something urgent to do, I'm really anxious!" ”
"Hey, it's the two of you?" Under the gaze of the fourth prince with eager anticipation, I saw the curtain of the carriage open, revealing a face that was both smiling and disgusting, it was Zhu Ying.
"About the two of them, Ah Shou told Aunt Wu, and Aunt Wu went to Zhao Guogong's Mansion today and told me again. So I thought they would definitely be able to continue to go out today to clean up the aftermath. ”
Zhu Ying pointed to the four princes and Xiao Peanut who were stopped by a few porters, and saw that both of them were only smirking at her flatteringly, so she said to An Lu and several other porters with a pleasant face: "Hengzhu, I'm idle at home, so just come over and pick them up." This kind of lively thing, how can I do it without it? ”
Originally, he wanted to explain Zhang Shou's instructions, but An Lu heard the eldest lady open her mouth and said that she already knew what was going on, and said something he couldn't refuse, although he really wanted to wait for Ah Liu to come back, but thinking that even if Ah Liu came back, it was estimated that he could only obediently obey orders in front of Zhu Ying, so he waved his hand and motioned to the porter to get out of the way, and watched the fourth prince drag the little peanut to the carriage.
And Zhu Ying saw the two little guys get into the car, so she said to An Lu: "By the way, go back and send someone to the public school to say to Ah Shou, just say that I took the two of them away, with me, no one can touch a single hair of their hair." Ah Liu doesn't have to rush over, just stay by Ah Shou's side! ”
"Yes, then please Miss Miss." An Lu didn't want to fight for this at all, arched his hand, and then gave two instructions to Yang Hao on the side, and ran to the stable as soon as he saw the person slipping away, he saw Zhu Ying nodding with a smile and lowering the curtain, and after a while, the group gradually moved away and disappeared from his sight, and he couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache.
When Ah Liu brought the three little ones back last night, he was shocked when he recognized the four princes. When he saw Xiao Cheng's blood-stained appearance, he thought something was wrong, but when he found that there were still a bunch of dry goods and all kinds of food in the car, he was dumbfounded, and he still couldn't understand what the strange combination of these four people was doing in the middle of the night.
Now that Zhu Ying also ran over and said with great interest that he was going to intervene, he suddenly found that he no longer wanted to know what was going on. If the fourth prince is easy to cause trouble, and Ah Liu is not afraid of causing trouble, then, this Miss Zhu ...... That is, I am thinking about it all the time, how to cause something to relieve my boredom!
With Zhu Ying, the savior who fell from the sky, the four princes who climbed into the car breathed a sigh of relief, however, the little peanut who also got on the car was a little cringe after discovering the luxurious and exquisite furnishings in the carriage - after all, I thought that Ah Liu, who wanted to give up the place for Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying to live a two-person world, was so scared that he ran away as soon as he got in the car, let alone him.
Although Zhang Yuan is big, the furnishings are not luxurious, unlike in this carriage, everything seems to be very precious!
But Zhu Ying didn't pay attention to Xiao Peanut's reaction, because Wu only briefly said a rough idea when she was in Zhao Guogong's mansion - after all, the information that people told her and her grandmother and mother was all poured from Zhang Shou - so at this time, she couldn't help but ask with interest about the strange case that the three of them went to investigate yesterday.
As the four princes were talking there, the tension of Xiao Peanut suddenly getting into the luxury car gradually disappeared, and he interjected from time to time to add two sentences. Until there was a commotion outside the car. Zhu Ying opened the curtain and found that she had arrived at the city gate, and the two little guys in the car were afraid that their words would be heard by people outside, so they immediately shut up, and then they heard a voice outside.
"Miss, I arrived at Xuanwu Gate, and someone over there was saying that there was news from Huairou Huangzhuang, saying that it was ......"
Zhu Ying, who had just come back from Huairou Huangzhuang early yesterday morning, couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart when she heard the word Huairou, and couldn't help frowning at this time. Especially when she found that the coachman wanted to speak and stopped, she said impatiently: "Don't talk about it, just say something, what are you afraid of!" ”
"Huairou Huangzhuang sent someone to hurry back to report the news, I don't know if there was a problem on the side of Xuanwumen or for what reason, the messenger jumped there and shouted, saying that he was a hundred thousand urgent news waiting to be sent into the city. He also said that when the Confucius scholar personally went to appease the people of Huangzhuang, the great prince ...... The eldest prince committed suicide. ”
“……”
The three people in the car stared wide-eyed. Little Peanut didn't have any good feelings for the eldest prince, after all, that was the biggest culprit who caused the chaos in Cangzhou, and he was also the one he deceived by pretending to be a woman. If it weren't for the fact that he held the eldest prince hostage and released Xian Yunhe and others to the palace, he would not have met Zhang Shou by coincidence, and now there are still many people in Xian Yunhe who will not be exiled to Qiongzhou Mansion to plant trees.
However, he didn't hate Zhang Shou at all, nor did he hate Zhu Tingfang, but he only hated the eldest prince. Now that he heard that the eldest prince was dead, he was glad that his troubles of disguising as a man and a woman might be able to be covered forever, but he couldn't help but be a little indignant.
That greedy and shameless straw bale, who cruelly harmed the people...... But finally died! Cheap him!
And the fourth prince has hated those two guys who are nominally brothers since he was a child, and when he heard that the eldest prince was dead, instead of sighing, he couldn't help but mumble a good death. As a result, he was glared at by Zhu Ying fiercely the next moment.
"It's okay to say so in front of me, if you look back in front of the emperor, you must control your mouth! You have to remember that the emperor has lost two sons, you have to stand in his position! ”
Seeing that the fourth prince suddenly nodded like pounding garlic, Zhu Ying frowned and muttered: "But this guy doesn't die sooner or later, why did he choose to die at this time?" ”
After she arrived at Huairou Huangzhuang before, she didn't go to the big prince to show off her power in front of the big prince as a victor, because she didn't like that guy, so she didn't want to see it at all, and then there was a disturbance of the people besieging the Huangzhuang, so she was busy dealing with those people, and the big prince was a hot potato before she left to take a look, and hurried back to Beijing without saying a word.
But suddenly, Zhu Ying thought of the biggest question, and gasped and said, "Scholar Confucius has gone to appease the people, then, what about Aunt Yuquan?" It won't be Aunt Yuquan who carries the black pot in the end, right? ”
At this moment, even the fourth prince couldn't help frowning. Although the Queen Mother used to be ordinary to him and the third brother, but now she is also ordinary and has no excessive closeness, but Yuquan has always been good to them.
A few years ago, when he and the third brother were just insignificant little princes in the eyes of others, they often went to Qingning Palace together to greet the Queen Mother, and often "coincided" with the eldest prince and the second prince in front of the Queen Mother.
At this time, Yuquan would not bring them over as a foil, but would specially take them to the other room to wait, and prepare tea and snacks for them and other delicious food.
Not only that, Yuquan will also personally accompany them to talk, ask about their daily diet, ask the people around them how they treat them, and when they leave, they will also let them bring some snacks often made in the small kitchen of Qingning Palace, as well as other people's gadgets to honor the Queen Mother. Although this is not at all as valuable as the reward given by the Queen Mother to the eldest prince and the second prince's brothers, the fourth prince remembers this love very much.
Therefore, he forgot Xiao Cheng, who had taken a step earlier, for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yingying, what should I do now?" ”
Zhu Ying was frowning, but at this time, she suddenly felt blessed to her heart, suddenly slammed the wall of the carriage, and said in a deep voice: "If it is really the messenger who came back, it is most likely the people of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, so that they don't even have this bit of proportion, and they actually had some disputes with the guards of the city gate on the side of Xuanwu Gate, and shouted such a message in public." There is a fraud in this matter! ”
Almost as soon as she said this, the eldest lady immediately pushed the car door open, and immediately shouted: "Come, call me that fellow who calls himself a messenger, and I will question him personally!" ”
The driver outside the carriage had already jumped out of the car at the moment when he heard Zhu Ying shout that the matter was fraudulent. And when Zhu Ying passed on the order, the coachman who used to drive for Mrs. Tai didn't know who the eldest lady was ordering, and immediately looked at Zhu Hong on the side. In an instant, he saw Zhu Hong rushing over with two guards to the noisy messenger and the city gate guard.
However, the flow of people in and out of the city and the crowd of onlookers were too large, and when the three guards of the Zhao State Mansion were trying to find a way out of it, someone had already rushed ahead of them.
"You claim to be a messenger who has returned from Huairou Huangzhuang? Which battalion is on the left, center, and right of the Rui Cavalry Battalion? What is your current job? Who is your boss? Who's ordered to go back to the city to report the news? Where is the token? Why is there such a loud noise in this Xuanwu Gate and leaking important news? Do you still want to be a master? ”
This question was higher than the other, and the last sentence was like a thunderbolt, and even Zhu Hong couldn't help but follow the reputation. He saw that the crowd of onlookers stirred slightly, and then someone forcibly lined up a road, and he recognized the young noble son who took the lead and looked arrogant. Isn't that Zhang Chen?
It was such a coincidence, Zhang Chen, like Zhu Ying, also happened to encounter this scene!
But Zhang Chen didn't see Zhu Hong, he was aggressive just now, and his actions at this time were also aggressive. He rode his horse step by step, and seeing that the messenger couldn't help but retreat step by step, he sneered, drew his sword and pointed at the other party, and said word by word: "What this son just asked you, can you explain it clearly?" ”
The man who called himself the messenger didn't seem to expect to be questioned like this, and he was a little at a loss at the moment, and only after he reacted did he shout: "Who are you, why do you ask me about the Rui Cavalry Battalion?" ”
"Who am I? Hey...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha! Zhang Chen suddenly laughed, and then shouted angrily, "Come on, take down this traitor who pretends to be a messenger from the Rui Cavalry Battalion!" ”
With his shout, Zhu Hong, who was ordered to come over, saw several guards behind Zhang Chen pounce without hesitation, so that he didn't find a chance to shoot at all, and saw that the messenger didn't even resist for a round, and was captured alive. Immediately after, Zhang Chen came to the other party slowly: "I don't even recognize Zhang Chen, and I still call it a sharp cavalry camp!" ”
