Chapter 114: Suicide in fear of sin
Jiedu made Wang Tao's eyes red at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said to the officers and soldiers at the bottom: "Xu Hu, as the prefect, does not think of reporting to the emperor's grace and going down to Lishu, but instead forms a party for personal gain, frames Zhongliang, and takes me into prison left and right, and I will report to the emperor, and then the emperor will decide." β
The soldiers below immediately dragged Xu Hu out, and Xu Hu shouted unwillingly: "Wang Tao, you can't die well if you frame me, don't forget that I am a two-rank jinshi, and when I enter Beijing, I will definitely join you in front of the emperor." β
And Wang Tao looked at him coldly above, as if he was looking at a dead man, without any expression.
After Xu Hu was dragged out, Wang Tao said to the people below: "Today's incident is a lesson for you, and you must not violate the king's law in the future." Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you then. β
All the officials below were frightened by today's events, and Xu Hu was also the most powerful in Xuanfu Town, and he was taken by Wang Tao today. Therefore, the awe of Wang Tao is even heavier.
Wang Tao looked at the expressions of the civil and military officials in the hall above, and guessed their thoughts, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. This trick kills three birds with one stone. not only pushed the sin to others, but also used this to open up the relationship with the prince Tengwang, and deterred these people under him. Sure enough, he is still as wise and martial as before. I couldn't help but smile when I thought about it.
Wang Tao saw that things had almost been done, and said solemnly to the people below: "Today's matter is here, you all go back and think about what can be done and what cannot be done." Otherwise, the king's law will be ruthless at that time. β
After speaking, Wang Tao dispersed, and the civil and military officials walked out in twos and threes, one by one frightened. Thinking about his own violations of law and discipline on weekdays, if he is discovered by the adults of the festival, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around at that time.
Among these people, only He Tong had a calm face and was unfazed, as if nothing had happened.
He Tong was just about to get on his horse when someone next to him grabbed him. He Tong looked back, who else could there be besides Wang Wei? I saw Wang Wei's eyebrows and rat eyes, and looked around. Only then did he pull him and said, "Brother He, my brother can't understand today's matter, let's find a place to drink two cups, and you can talk to your brother about it." β
If it was someone else, He Tongli would not pay attention, but Wang Wei was different, since Wang Wei wanted to invite him to dinner, he had no way to shirk it.
So the two didn't go to any big hotels, so they asked for a private room in a nearby tavern, ordered a few dishes casually, and drank slowly.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Wei said to He Tong: "Brother He, I understand half of today's events, and I still haven't understood more than half of them. Tell me about it. β
He Tong didn't look at it, just stared at the wine glass, and said softly: "What can't I understand, it's just that our festival envoy has already come back to the taste, and this is looking for a supplement." β
Wang Wei also said in amazement: "My lord, this is abandoning the car to protect the handsome, but do you say that the fold is true or false?" β
He Tong said disdainfully: "If the Jiedu envoy says that it is true, it is true." β
Wang Wei listened to He Tong's words and said with a sigh: "My lord, this trick is really good. I'm afraid that it has already been done in Beijing, and Xu Hu can't come up with any tricks when he arrives in the capital. β
He Tong was silent for a while, then stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "It's almost all that should be said, I'll go back quickly, otherwise my tigress in my house will settle accounts with me again." β
Wang Wei hurry up and send him out of the door. He Tong walked to the door of the private room, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Wang Wei: "Don't run to the Jiedu Envoy Mansion in the future, our Jiedu Envoy is really powerful, and it is really stupid." Although he kept himself temporarily, he offended a lot of drifters, and he couldn't sit for long. β
Wang Wei heard what he said inexplicably, and hurriedly grabbed him again and didn't let him go, "Brother He gave me a clear word, what is going on?" I know my brothers are far worse than you in this regard, don't let me make a mistake when the time comes. β
He Tong lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said with a solemn face: "Xu Hu will definitely die tonight, and our festival envoy is the master who offends the Confucian saint." β
After saying this, he ignored Wang Wei, shook off his hand and went out directly.
And Wang Wei stood by the door alone, savoring the last sentence he said, and suddenly everything seemed to be understood, Jiedu made Wang Tao never let Xu Hu live to the capital to talk nonsense, so Xu Hu will never survive tonight, since Xu Hu is dead, then naturally he will bear all the sins, so Jiedu makes Wang Tao naturally innocent.
Although Wang Tao escaped for the time being, but he killed Wenchen this time, and now Wenchen is powerful, they can fight any way they want, but once they are offended by the generals, they will attack them in groups. It seems that Wang Tao will not stay long. Since this is the case, I should have made a plan in advance, and I can't lean on Wang Tao anymore, otherwise when the new festival comes, how can I think of myself?
Sure enough, the next morning, the news came out of the prison that Xu Hu had committed suicide in fear of crime.
At this time, Wang Tao was in the mansion and was talking to Gao Hong about what to do next?
And Gao Hong had already thought of the next countermeasures, he volunteered to go to the capital to open the way for Wang Tao to make Wang Ziteng in the Jingying Festival. And this is also what Wang Tao meant, after this incident, now Wang Tao's most trusted person is Gao Hong.
This time, Wang Tao invested a lot of money, not only prepared 100,000 taels of silver, but most importantly, prepared a protΓ©gΓ© post. As long as this post can be accepted by Wang Ziteng, then he is a member of Wang Ziteng's family, and he won't let him have any mistakes when he comes to the prince? Although I can no longer be left and right, I can't take care of that for the sake of my life at this time.
And Gao Hong brought with him, and there was also a letter to Prince Teng to play on his behalf, the content of this memorabilia is nothing more than that Xu Hu was corrupt and narrow-minded, and he framed Zhongliang regardless of the overall situation, and privately detained his recital to the court to ask for instructions.
With these things, Gao Hong set off to the capital in the eyes of Wang Tao who made Wang Tao expectant.
This is Gao Hong's last fight, as long as Wang Ziteng can come forward. With Wang Ziteng's status in the emperor's heart, and the current situation of Wenchen gradually gaining momentum, even if the emperor knows the truth, he may not be able to deal with Wang Tao. It is even possible to use this incident to suppress Wenchen. As for Jia Ke's side, naturally the prince stepped forward to solve it. Although Wang Tao is completely on the opposite side of Wenchen in this way, it is also possible to be blessed by misfortune and become a prince Teng in the future, or even a person in the eyes of the emperor.
Not long after Gao Hong left the city, he met a person on the side of the road, and this person was Fan Kang.
As soon as Gao Hong saw Fan Kang, he immediately got out of the car, came to Fan Kang and asked strangely, "What are you doing here alone?" Did you come to see me off? β
Fan Kang showed a sad look on his face, looked at him and said, "Senior brother, if you go, I'm afraid you won't see me when you come back." β
Gao Hong understood what he meant, and couldn't help but fall silent.
Fan Kang and Gao Hong, who have been friends for more than ten years, thought that he was going into a desperate situation step by step, and he felt very uncomfortable, as a friend, he didn't want to see him make any mistakes, so he decided to persuade him one last time: "Brother Gao, this time, you might as well go back to the mountains and forests." It's also very fast to be an idle cloud and wild crane. β
Gao Hong did not answer Fan Kang, but looked at him with a sad face, and then resolutely turned around and got into the car, and ordered all the servants and entourage to hurry up and go to the capital.
