Chapter 135: Official Authority
() As the voice fell, a cold figure slowly walked out surrounded by the maids.
After General Zhou saw the other party's face clearly, a touch of surprise instantly appeared on the face that was originally expressionless, and something seemed to be faintly beating in an unknown corner.
He had long heard that Yang Shangshu's daughter was beautiful and beautiful, and she was a rare beauty among these noble women in the capital, but she was just a woman in the boudoir, how could they be seen if they wanted to see it?
Although he was ordered by his parents to marry the daughter of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, she was also an ordinary daughter, and she really couldn't be interested in it.
Now that he has to see the daughter of the Yang family, he knows what it means to be beautiful in the world.
Qin Niang took in the other party's expression, a touch of disgust flashed in her eyes, Gu Chen's face was even more gloomy and frightening, and she leaned less, probably feeling the chill and murderous aura from Gu Chensensen, Zhou Shenjiang came back to his senses, and said: "Mrs. Gu Shao, although you are a second-class official girl, but now you have married into the Gu family, the Gu family is white, in order to catch the thief, what is wrong with searching a place where the white body lives?" If the thieves escape, who will be responsible? ”
Qin Niang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she said in an unkind tone: "General Zhou, if this is not Gu's mansion today, but the mansion of the prince and minister, do you want to search it too?" ”
General Zhou shook his head: "If it is a prince and minister, this general will not dare to search easily." ”
Qin Niang's face remained unchanged, and she asked, "Then, if you enter the palace of the prince and minister, what should you do?" ”
General Zhou straightened up and said proudly: "Naturally, I sent someone to guard outside the mansion, as long as I am sure that the thief has entered, he will always come out." ”
Qin Niang tugged at the corners of her lips, revealing a mocking smile, Gu Chen said, "So, trespassing on a private house is a matter of fact, right?" I only learned today that the common people and the eunuchs have double standards, and in the future, the taxes in this capital will be paid by you who are the people who receive the service. ”
General Zhou was choked, they received the court's Fenglu, and they relied on the laws of the court, but they had never heard of anyone who ate Fenglu to pay taxes.
"Gu Gongzi, how can a person with an official position be compared with a white body? We're talking about thieves who have infiltrated your house, so don't change the subject. "General Zhou is already a little impatient, if it weren't for Gu Chen's thin face in Beijing, he would have let people rush in and talk nonsense with him here.
Besides, this is Qin Niang's courtyard, as long as someone rushes in to search it, this young lady Gu's reputation will naturally be hindered, and when the time comes, no matter whether she harbors the thief or not, she will naturally have nothing to do with the thief.
Although the Gu family is no one to be an official now, they always cherish their reputation, and when the time comes, once the Gu family intervenes, where can such a stigmatized woman be tolerated?
Once the daughter of the Yang family is divorced, he will take the opportunity to come to the door to propose marriage and take her as his fifth concubine.
General Zhou's abacus jingled, but he never thought that he would agree to ask someone else to marry? According to Qin Niang's temperament, even if she separates from Gu Chen, she will go to the temple to shave, and she will not marry a man like Zhou Shenjiang.
Although Qin Niang didn't know what General Zhou was thinking, it could be seen that his eyes were from time to time
Out of the evil light, she also knew that this week's general was afraid that he was not a good person, and besides, he broke in in the middle of the night and didn't go anywhere, so he went straight to her courtyard, to say that he had no plan in advance, she didn't believe it.
If there is really a thief entering Qinyuan, normal people only need to stand outside the courtyard and say something, and let the maid in the house go in and search for a circle by themselves, why do they have to force their way in?
Did they really come to search for the thief, or did they use it as a valve to ruin her reputation?
In the flash of light, Qin Niang's mind turned thousands of times, she looked at the group of people in front of her, and suddenly evoked a sneer: "The people are the foundation of the country, and the saint does not dare to say that the people are not as good as the officials, and the gentleman is still guilty of the same crime as the common people. ”
Zhou Shen General choked, he couldn't refute it, Shi is what he said, the official residence and the private house can be treated differently, but now being questioned by Qin Niang like this, he doesn't know how to answer, if there is no difference between the government and the people, it must be impossible, it's just that no one will say it, but if there is a difference, isn't it a slap in the face of the saint?
The saint said that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, how dare he say that the private house can be broken into, but the official house cannot be easily broken into?
General Zhou's heart was really complicated, he didn't expect that this eldest lady of the Yang family would be so sharp-tongued and completely refute him in a few words.
However, he came today for a mission, and if he can't go in and search today, if he really makes some trouble when he turns around, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his official position.
So, General Zhou calmed down and spoke again: "This general has no such intentions, and I hope that Mrs. Gu Shao will not misinterpret it at will, besides, I also said that the matter is urgent, there are thieves who climb over the wall and enter the city in the middle of the night, in case there is a big mess, I am on duty tonight, if the saint is to blame in the future, I can't eat and walk, so please don't embarrass me and wait." ”
When he said this, he was much more polite than when he rushed in just now, but Gu Chen's territory can be searched casually if others want to?
Immediately, Gu Chen hooked his lips and sneered: "I'm afraid that General Zhou didn't figure it out, that is, whether it is an official mansion or a private house, you have no right to break in at will, besides, do you say that when you see a thief entering my mansion, you will enter my mansion?" There are so many secret guards and guards in my house, it is difficult that they are all blind, and you can see the thieves coming in, but we don't even see a fly. ”
I want to use the excuse to come in and search his house, and I don't find a reliable reason, besides, they all say that this is the woman's inner house, and these big men still want to break in, and when they go in and search around and find nothing, what will they do?
It sounds good to bear the guilt of Jing petition, but it is just a show, but the reputation of the women of the Gu family has been ruined, not to mention that they really bear the guilt of Jing petition, even if they apologize with death, they can't offset it.
"General Zhou, are you bullying me and no one in the Gu family?"
As the movement here became bigger and bigger, the guards in the mansion in the open and in the dark all gathered over, and suddenly blocked the gate of Qinyuan.
If you really start to do it, it will not be enough to rely on the people brought by Zhou Shen.
Seeing this, General Zhou's face suddenly changed.
He naturally recognized the guard at the head, it was Xiao Wei, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Palace, he heard that Xiao Wei had resigned from the position of the former commander of the palace due to injury, but he didn't expect that he would be a guard in Gu Chen's mansion, which was really surprising.
"General Zhou, I didn't know that I could find such a high-sounding reason for trespassing on private houses, when so many of us died?" Xiao Wei walked out full of anger, and those phoenix eyes, with a thick evil aura, shot straight at the door of General Zhou's face.
Although Xiao Wei is the commander of the palace, he also galloped on the battlefield in the early years, and the murderous aura on his body was tempered step by step by stepping on countless corpses, and it has already penetrated into the bone marrow, which is incomparable to Zhou Shenjiang, a soldier who only manages the security of the imperial city on weekdays and occasionally catches some small thieves.
If it weren't for the recurrence of old injuries, he would not have resigned from his official position, he would have been a rich idler at home at a young age of less than thirty, if it weren't for Gu Chen's refusal to give up, he was willing to ask someone to treat his old injuries, and accept him as a guard leader in the mansion, he was afraid that he would have faded out of these aristocratic circles in the capital at this time, and no one would even remember his name.
"Xiao Wei, you are a good commander in front of the palace, you want to come to a white-bodied home as a guard, you are really willing to fall." After a brief period of surprise, General Zhou was undisguised with disdain, "I'm just searching the mansion according to the law, aren't you going to rebel now?" ”
"Dare to ask which law General Zhou is based on?" Gu Chen asked unceremoniously, "There is an order under the law of the Eastern Linguo, and those who trespass on private houses should be punished, you have already broken in now, if you don't go out again, don't blame Ben Shao for being polite." ”
Gu Chen has never been a patient person, at this moment, General Zhou is undoubtedly challenging his bottom line, the mansion is so big, it is not good for him to search where, but he wants to search Qin Niang's yard.
Qin Niang is his wife, if he can't even protect his wife today, then why is he talking about being a master?
"Gu Gongzi, you are blocking left and right, don't you have any adultery with that thief?" When General Zhou saw that Gu Chen was stopped alive and dead, he was immediately annoyed, "The soldiers defending the city were killed, and the thieves jumped into Gu's house, so many soldiers and generals saw it, could it be that I am talking nonsense?" If you don't let you find out today, if you ask tomorrow, how should I answer? ”
Gu Chen's face turned cold: "How to answer is your business, you can't catch the thief, and let him run into my mansion That's your dereliction of duty, this is my private mansion, as soon as so many of you come in, you will ruin the reputation of the ladies in my mansion, why do you want to let my son pay for your dereliction of duty?" I still say the same thing, unless there is a token, otherwise, whoever wants to forcibly search the house will have someone beat him out. ”
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he didn't talk nonsense with the other party, gave up his position, and let his palace guards confront the other party, as long as the other party dared to make the first move, they didn't have to be polite.
He, Gu Chen, has always acted so domineeringly.
Even if he sues the emperor, he will not take care of the loss of his family.
"You ......" Zhou Shenjiang's eyes were cracked, and the hand holding the hilt of the knife tightened.
The two sides faced each other, and the atmosphere was about to erupt.
Suddenly, a voice came through the night: "Slow, if you have something to say, don't do it!" ”
