Chapter 99: Twenty Years of Forbearance
Seeing Qin Sheng away, Brother Gongzi stood in front of the window and stared at the empty street, and his subordinates asked puzzledly: "Second Gongzi, why didn't you explain your deployment to Qin Sheng just now?" ”
Brother Gongzi smiled: "Although Qin Sheng is subordinate to me, I don't know if it is a chess piece planted by the eldest brother, and Zhang Shumo, who he strongly recommended this time, needs to be inspected before making plans, so naturally we can't expose all our family backgrounds." ”
After speaking, Brother Gongzi saw Qin Sheng leaving in a hurry through the window. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: In order to inherit the General's Mansion, I endured it for 20 years. In the past 20 years, in order not to make the eldest brother suspect, he has eaten, drank, prostituted and gambled every day, and he has worked hard to save this family fund, and now it is time to act!
Thinking of this, Brother Gongzi said to his subordinates: "Write a letter to the people who are planted in the Western Route Army and the Northern Route Army, and ask them to muddy the waters, let's fish in troubled waters!" ”
Zhang Shumo walked on the way home, and couldn't help but think about today's matter in his heart: This general has already handed over the investigation of the case to Su Chang, why does Qin Sheng still drag himself to investigate the case? And why is there such chaos in this Northwest Army, so chaotic that you can blatantly kill a general! It seems that I shouldn't have been involved in such a thing, and I knew that I wouldn't have spoken just now.
At three o'clock in the sun, Zhang Shumo woke up again. After washing up, Zhang Shumo rushed to the general's mansion again.
When I came to the House of Representatives, I found that everyone was here, and it seemed that only I was lazy. Zhang Shumo couldn't help but smack his tongue, didn't this group of people sleep at night, and they all came to the General's Mansion on time to report during the day?
Entering the north room, Peng Mao took Chen Lin and Qin Sheng as if they were discussing something, and the three of them suddenly stopped when they saw Zhang Shumo.
Zhang Shumo stood at the door awkwardly: "Did I disturb you?" ”
Qin Sheng stood up and said with a smile: "What's the matter, we are discussing yesterday's case." Those who returned this morning reported that they had gone to Shilipo and had not found a single body, only some traces of blood and fighting. I don't know what Xiaoyou thinks? ”
Zhang Shumo wondered: "No corpse?" Is it because he is afraid of leaving clues on the corpse? ”
Qin Sheng smiled: "We were discussing this matter just now, but I think there is still a possibility." Speaking of this, Qin Sheng looked at Peng Mao's Chen Lin, and then continued: "That is, these people are not dead at all!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Shumo's mouth opened wide in shock, if these people hadn't died, this joke would have been bigger.
Chen Lin sneered: "Brother Qin is completely self-deceiving, if these people are not dead, then why are so many people acting in this play?" ”
"Naturally, there are ulterior motives. If Brother Chen has a different opinion, he can give him a lesson or two. ”
Chen Lin glanced at Zhang Shumo, and then said: "I think what Shumo Xiaoyou said is reasonable, the reason why the other party cleaned up the corpse is because there must be some clues on the corpse, which can directly prove who did it." ”
When Peng Mao heard this, he looked at Chen Lin: "In this way, the suspicion of people who use special weapons naturally increases." ”
Qin Sheng looked at Zhang Shumo again: "Shumo Xiaoyou, what do you think?" ”
In order to no longer participate in this matter, Zhang Shumo hurriedly said: "I don't have any ideas, since this matter has been handed over to General Su Chang, I believe he will naturally find out." ”
Peng Mao suddenly laughed: "What this kid said makes sense, let's stop discussing it." Anyway, General Su Chang has already gone to the North Route Army and the West Route Army to investigate, and I believe that there will be a result in a few days. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, when Zhang Shumo left the General's Mansion, he was stopped by a subordinate, and just when Zhang Shumo was wondering, a young man in his twenties came over: "Where did you come from, wild boy, the General's Mansion is also where you should come?" ”
Zhang Shumo didn't know where the other party came from, so he hurriedly arched his hand: "In the next Zhang Shumo, now he is a speaker in the General's Mansion, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
"Blind your dog eyes, this is Su Yi, the second young master of our General's Mansion, he doesn't even know the Second Young Master, and he dares to lie that he is from the General's Mansion?" The subordinate directly scolded Zhang Shumo.
When Zhang Shumo heard this, he hurriedly gave a big salute: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I bumped into the second son, and I ask the second son to forgive me!" ”
Su Yi smiled: "It's very simple to let me let you go, as long as you promise to do things for me in the future!" ”
Zhang Shumo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I am serving the General's Mansion in the next book, and it is natural to do things for the second son." ”
Su Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, good!" From now on, you will be my little brother, and if anyone dares to touch you in the future, they will mention my name! ”
Zhang Shumo inexplicably has an extra boss, and Zhang Shumo doesn't know much about this second son of the Su family, but since the other party is willing to be his backer, why not do it.
In the next few days, Su Chang took people to investigate the situation in the barracks. And Xu Liangcheng acted as if nothing had happened, Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying went to the General's Mansion on an errand every day, and Hu Kun, who originally planned to dismiss, became the housekeeper of the two because they were embarrassed to speak.
Zhang Shumo also received the dagger that Wang Tu had beaten, and he tried it briefly, and it was extremely sharp. After he gave the dagger to Wang Hu, Wang Hu, who was not very obedient, instantly became much more well-behaved. Wang Hu is very smart, he can learn a lot of things, but Zhang Shumo saw that he was not very interested in reading, so Zhang Shumo began to let Lou Zaiying teach him martial arts, and he gave him some reason from time to time, so that his personality was no longer paranoid.
On the fifth day of Zhang Kui's killing, Su Yi stopped Zhang Shumo again and insisted that Zhang Shumo accompany him to the Qinglou. These days, Zhang Shumo also knows a little about this second son, and his status in the Su family is actually about the same as his status in the Zhang family, so he has more sympathy in his heart.
The two entered the private room of the Qinglou, but found that there was no girl inside, only Qin Sheng was waiting for the two of them.
Zhang Shumo was stunned and asked, "Did the second son come to Qinglou just to have a private meeting with Mr. Qin?" ”
As soon as the two heard it, they knew that Zhang Shumo had misunderstood, and couldn't help laughing, Su Yi scolded with a smile: "You kid is not very old, you know a lot, since you found out, don't think about running away!" ”
Qin Sheng hurriedly explained: "Shumo Xiaoyou misunderstood, the second son's cynical appearance on weekdays is pretended, and I invited you to come today to discuss important matters." ”
Su Yi also became serious: "That's right, it's about Zhang Kui." Now that you have surrendered to me, then I will tell you that I will compete with my eldest brother for the position of the general of Zhenxi! ”
Zhang Shumo narrowed his eyes after hearing this, he didn't expect that Su Yi, who was cynical on weekdays, would actually want to fight with Su Chang behind his back, wait, then? Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked: "Zhang Kui's matter, it can't be done by the second son, right?" ”
