Forty-five: Nonsense
What a thunder leopard, this serious nonsense really frightened Chen Hengzhi, only to see him sigh and say: "What did Lei Zhutou say, it's just that the national law can't be abolished, it's better to move them into the place where they should be imprisoned first, Chen is going to investigate!" ”
"Hey, okay, the general is worthy of a generation of famous generals, people like you are destined to be recorded in history, and there is such a mind that Lei admires, then I might as well be respectful and obey my fate, come on! Bring out a few heroes! ”
Lei Leopard waved his hand as he spoke, and a few catchers stepped forward and fiddled with it......
After about a few hours, everyone moved to an ordinary cell, Lei Leopard ordered someone to set up a table, lit an oil lamp, and said very attentively: "You have something to say hello" and then retreated, Chen Hengzhi ignored this courtesy, but waited for the prison door to close, and then looked at the soldiers under him one by one......
"General...... We ......"
Jianwu Captain Zhang Kai lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, from the moment Chen Hengzhi walked into the cell, he didn't dare to look directly at the other party, Chen Hengzhi was sitting on a Taishi chair at this time, his face was pale, but he didn't directly reproach them, but asked seriously: "What is going on?" ”
Zhang Kai scratched his head and said timidly: "I was drinking with a few brothers in a wine shop, and I happened to meet an evil young man with a wicked slave to force him to become a prostitute, and I and a few brothers were angry, so I fought with them, but last night, who knew that the kid couldn't help beating him so much, and he hiccups directly, and we were arrested here!" ”
The more Zhang Kai said, the more aggrieved he became, but this was completely different from what Chen Hengzhi heard!
As far as he knows, it is clear that these guys who are not successful and the singing singer Cui Hong are not clear, and then the young master of the Wu family had a conflict, and the young master of the Wu family is also one of Cuihong's benefactors, but this Zhang Kai relied on his own strength and fought directly with the young master Wu, and when the soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion went to arrest people, Zhang Kai was in bed with the woman for a while......
This is unreasonable, not to mention that they beat people first, not to mention that the Wu family has children as officials in the Ministry of Officials, and its family power is also quasi-first-class, although it can't be compared with a giant like Guo Li Duxu Xu, it can be regarded as a tiger!
"Why, now that General Ben is here, aren't you ready to tell the truth?"
Chen Hengzhi said coldly: "I'm giving you one last chance, tell you the truth, what's going on, if you dare to deceive, then do it officially, don't say that you Zhang Kai is my Chen Hengzhi's soldier, I can't afford to lose this person!" ”
Chen Hengzhi said that he stood with his hands in his hands, looking like he was leaving, Zhang Kai and the others suddenly knelt on the ground and complained: "General, it's not that we deliberately deceive, it's just ...... It's just that Wu Miaoshui is not a good thing, it is true that his subordinates are at fault, but they insulted the general, and his subordinates are angry......"
Insult me?
Hehe, Chen Hengzhi sneered in his heart, he naturally knows what kind of character this Zhang Kai is, I am afraid that this thing is wrong, but there are more people who insult him Chen Hengzhi, not to mention one or two more juniors? Chen Hengzhi said: "Do you think that I have a bad brain when I enter the capital to be an official?" ”
Chen Hengzhi thought that he wanted to exonerate himself, and a pro-soldier said a lot: "It's true, general, that Wu Miaoshui said wildly, saying that we are not good at defending the country, and we will learn from you......" The little soldier lowered his head as he spoke.
Chen Hengzhi asked: "If you have something to say, you don't have to say it in a hurry!" ”
Xiao Bing gritted his teeth and said: "They said that you entered the city as a hillbilly, and you took shit luck to climb to the emperor to have today's power, and they also joked about you and Miss Su, saying that you were wise and found a female cousin...... The cousin still didn't appreciate it, and said that the soldiers under your command were not right on the beam and crooked on the bottom, and the leader was looking for the table, and the soldiers under this command were all soldiers, and they were mixed with the table every day, so we ......"
Before Xiao Bing's words were finished, Chen Hengzhi's eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "The Wu family is so bold!" Don't they want to live anymore? ”
Everyone was speechless, Chen Hengzhi sighed and said: "You guys are so good to stay here, don't be maverick, General Ben will see if there is room for mediation, you killed someone, I am afraid it is impossible to properly solve this matter!" ”
"We all listen to the general!"
A few people nodded, Chen Hengzhi left, returned to the general's mansion, sat in the empty lobby and closed his eyes to recuperate, the housekeeper walked in, took a greeting note and said: "General, someone asks to see!" ”
"Who?"
Chen Hengzhi was upset at the moment, where could he care about seeing someone, so he said: "The third-grade officials and below tell them to get out, and the third-grade officials and above invite people to have a cup of tea in the front hall before leaving!" I don't have time to deal with them! "Since Chen Hengzhi took sole power...... To be precise, since entering Beijing, the people who come to his general's mansion every day to give gifts have never stopped, whether it is to avoid suspicion or for some other reason, Chen Hengzhi can't see them!
The housekeeper said at this time: "General, it's someone from the Wu family......
"Wu family?"
Chen Hengzhi held his forehead and said, "I didn't go to them, but they came to me?" Oh, that's it! Just give him the Wu family a face and call him in! ”
Chen Hengzhi sat upright, and after a while, Wu Xin, one of the three heroes of the Wu family, walked in, he was the second uncle of the dead Wu Miaoshui, and now he is serving as a langzhong in the Ministry of Rites.
I saw that the housekeeper invited him into the lobby, and Wu Xinren said loudly before he arrived: "General Chen, I didn't bother you uninvited, right?" ”
"What did Lord Wu say? The visitor is a guest, Lao Zheng, tea! ”
Chen Hengzhi waved his hand, and the next person served the refreshments, but when he saw him, he said: "The tea produced in the land of Baiyue, I don't know if it can enter the eyes of Lord Wu?" ”
"Hehe, I often hear people say, which tea is delicious and which tea tastes slightly worse. In fact, in the eyes of real tea drinkers, there is no good or bad tea. The same comes from the mountains, after all kinds of tribulations, it is called "tea", and when it encounters boiling water, it exudes fragrance. So, at the end of the day, tea is all the same. The difference between "good" and "bad" lies more in the hearts of the drinkers. ”
Wu Xin's official kung fu is not much compared with Xu Yan, but it is not worthy of being an official in the Ministry of Rites, speaking one by one, Chen Hengzhi immediately said: "Lord Wu doesn't need to go around in circles, you and I are not like idlers, let's say, what are you doing here?" ”
"Hehe, my second brother's only son, Wu Miaoshui, was injured by a soldier under your command, and he made a few meritorious deeds and no one was in his sights, doesn't the general want to explain?"
Wu Xin shook his sleeves and cocked Erlang's legs to look like a master, Chen Hengzhi pretended to be confused and said, "Explain what?" I don't even know what you're talking about! I, Chen Hengzhi, have led countless soldiers and horses, and I have 100,000 subordinates, but now I am just an official serving in Beijing, and the army is free to control the generals. ”
"Oh?"
Wu Xin said: "Indeed, if this is the case, then it will be easy to do, if General Chen agrees, it is better to hand over those people to the subordinate justice, or give the general a reputation of selflessness, what do you think?" ”
Selfless? That's a good thing to say!
Chen Hengzhi sneered at Wu Xin's rhetoric in his heart, although he was very tired of playing official tones like this, but one yard is one yard, and he didn't want to fall into the name of oppressive people, the Wu family also took a fancy to this, so he stepped forward to provoke frequently, and besides, Chen Hengzhi was just a mud leg, how could he compete with a giant ship like the Wu family?
Chen Hengzhi said: "I am deeply surprised by the death of my nephew, killing people to pay for my life, and repaying debts, what should I do Chen Hengzhi is not ambiguous, my general's mansion is not a yamen of the criminal department, if Lord Wu wants to seek justice for the deceased, there is no need to come here to ask for my consent, right?" I'm just a martial artist, and I don't know much about the things in the court, but I also know the word justice, and adults can rest assured that this general will definitely give his nephew justice! ”
"It's best if the general could say that, but who knows if you're making fun of me?"
Wu Xin continued to attack Chen Hengzhi, and he was not good at words, and said, "What's the matter? So I'm writing you a voucher? ”
Chen Hengzhi is not a paper tiger after all, and there are times when he is fried, Wu Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "No, no, no, the general misunderstood, the lower official didn't mean this, it's just that your name is shocking the world, our Wu family is just a small family that doesn't enter the stream, where do you dare to force the general to make any notes......
Wu Xin took out an invitation from his sleeve and said: "It's just that we are a small door, and we are used to being bullied, and it is inevitable that we are a little afraid, today my second brother is setting up wine in Sanxiao Building, please make a verbal promise in front of Lord Twilight and Lord Li, and the Criminal Department is afraid that he will dare to deal with it impartially, I don't know if the general can appreciate his face and make the lower official's family feel at ease?" ”
Wu Xin began to dig a pit for Chen Hengzhi, and his posture was extremely low, Chen Hengzhi immediately waved his hand and agreed: "You can rest assured, this general still disdains to do some work that oppresses people, you go back, I will be there at night!" ”
Wu Xin: "Then I'll go back and prepare!" ”
Chen Hengzhi waved his hand tiredly: "Lao Zheng, go and send off Lord Wu!" ”
"Whew... Lord Wu, please! ”
Lao Zheng made a gesture of please, and then the two walked out of the lobby, Chen Hengzhi looked at the invitation on the table, but his thoughts flew away......
On the other side, Xu Mad was eating and drinking in a restaurant, chatting with Yun Zaixing and a few other marquises, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yun Xingyan intended to train him to be a Zaifu, so no one dared to snub him, not to mention that he was still in charge of the Jianghu forces like Wangbeilou, even if he didn't have an official position, it was enough to give these noble lords a headache!
