Chapter 267: Playing with the Question
Zeng Biao said again: "Now that King Xiang is far away at the ends of the earth, you just wait to eat in prison!" Oh, by the way, I don't know if you have relatives and friends in the capital, don't even have a person to deliver prison food! ”
Zheng Qing didn't stop for a moment, Zheng Qing had already rushed up and grabbed Zeng Biao's collar, stared at him angrily, and said, "Lao Tzu didn't break the law, why did he eat in prison?" ”
Zeng Biao hurriedly shouted: "Beat someone!" Come on! ”
Before the soldiers came up, Zheng Guang immediately ran up to pull Zheng Qing away, gave Zheng Qing an ear scraper, and scolded: "Can it make people worry?" ”
"Brother!" Zheng Qing said that he was suffering, and Zeng Biao was clearly uneasy and kind.
Of course, Zheng Guang knew that Zeng Biao was uneasy and kind, but now that the situation and status are different, people are swords and I am fish and meat, where can I still make the pirate and thief have that kind of temperament?
Zheng Guang apologized to Zeng Biao and said: "Lord Zeng, I'm sorry, my little brother is reckless, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." Please have a lot of adults! ”
"This bowl of rice in the imperial court is not something that everyone can eat!" Zeng Biao patted the collar that Zheng Qing had grabbed and touched in disgust, clapped his hands again, and said, "In broad daylight, openly disobey orders, and beat the officials of the imperial court!" Your Excellency, you have seen it with your own eyes! ”
The prefect has been accompanying him, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but he just responds with a hmm-hmm, pretending to be confused.
Zheng Guang realized that Zeng Biao wanted to use the topic to play, and hurriedly begged: "Lord Zeng, the younger brother is at most cheap, how can it be regarded as a blatant disobedience and beating the court officials?" ”
Zeng Biao shrugged his upper lip, squeezed out the eight-character nasolabial folds next to his nose, and snorted coldly: "The laws of the imperial court, are you decided?" ”
Zheng Qing spat on the ground and shouted, "Big brother, it's a big deal for us ......"
Zheng Guang's mind was fast, and he realized that Zheng Qing was going to say something again, so he slapped Zheng Qing in the face again, and said, "Shut up!" ”
How could Zeng Biao let go of any opportunity to drill the horns of the bull, and said proudly: "What's the big deal, what do you want?" Kill me? Rebel against the imperial court system and become a pirate again? Wouldn't it be a good idea to live up to King Xiang! ”
Zheng Qing opened his mouth and looked at Zheng Guang, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. There was a burning pain on his face, and there were four finger prints.
Zheng Guang said: "My lord, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. Since my two brothers surrendered to King Xiang, they have served the country impartially and have never bent the law for personal gain. ”
"Is there any favoritism, when you get to the Criminal Department, you will naturally be exposed to the truth!" Zeng Biao waved his hand and ordered his subordinates, "Tie up these two people and send them to the Criminal Department for questioning!" ”
Zheng Qingxin thought of the Criminal Department, which is a dead end for a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, where will someone speak for him.
So he pulled out his saber from his waist, protected it in front of him, and said, "Big brother, let's kill it!" The road leads to the sky, let me go! If you follow him into the criminal department, you will be dead! ”
Zeng Biao laughed instead of being angry, and said, "What else do you have to quibble about now?" Come on, catch them! ”
Zheng Guang didn't dare to move, and dissuaded Zheng Qing and said, "Put down the knife quickly!" Aren't you guilty of a crime made out of nothing? ”
"I don't care!" Zheng Qing shouted, and when he saw that the soldiers were about to come up to get people, he raised his knife and rushed towards Zeng Biao.
Seeing this, Zeng Biao was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the soldiers.
Just as the soldiers were about to besiege Zheng Qing, Zheng Guang pulled out his knife and rushed up to break the knife in Zheng Qing's hand.
The two put the knife grid together and said in unison: "You are crazy! ”
Zheng Guangguang said: "Zheng Qing, don't make mistakes again and again!" ”
Zheng Qing said angrily: "Big brother, don't be obsessed anymore!" I have said a long time ago, in this filthy place of the imperial court, how can we be happy and happy? ”
As he spoke, he actually danced a knife and fought with Zheng Guang.
The soldiers held their weapons and surrounded the Zheng brothers who were fighting in the middle, and Zeng Biao and the prefect hid from a distance to watch the excitement.
Zeng Biao was afraid that the Zheng brothers would take the opportunity to escape, so he ordered the archers to spread their bows and arrows on the side to aim at the two of them, and they were ready to shoot at any time.
Zheng Guang's martial arts are higher than Zheng Qing's, and Zheng Guang's eldest brother has always been condescending, which makes Zheng Qing a little timid and dare not act willfully.
After more than ten rounds of fighting, Zheng Qing was kicked to the ground by Zheng Guang.
Zheng Qing got up, grabbed the knife and pretended to attack Zeng Biao, rushed two steps, and reflexively planned to go out over the wall.
Zeng Biao decisively ordered: "Shoot!" ”
The ten archers who had been prepared for the ambush a long time ago released the strings in their hands as soon as the order was given, and the arrows left the strings and headed towards Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing had just jumped in the air, and although he heard Zeng Biao give the order to shoot arrows, he couldn't dodge in the air. In his head, he screamed, "Oops! ”
Before Zheng Guang could shout "stop", Zheng Qing had already fallen to the ground with five arrows in his body.
Zheng Qing was hit by five arrows in his body, because it was a close-range shot, the arrows pierced his chest, and blood gushed out, and he couldn't survive when he saw it.
Zheng Guang rushed up to support Zheng Qing's body and shouted in panic: "Zheng Qing, it's okay, it's okay......"
He wanted to plug the wounds on Zheng Qing's body, but with five arrow holes, he couldn't block one and the other, so he was in a hurry.
"Big brother, I may not be able to." Zheng Qing looked at the five arrow shafts on his chest in disbelief, the blood had soaked through his clothes, and it became difficult to breathe, and the pain became obvious.
"No, no......"
"Big brother, are we wrong?"
Zheng Guang couldn't answer Zheng Qing's question, maybe he was wrong, but was it wrong at the beginning, or was it wrong in the process? every day
Zheng Qing sneered and turned his head to look at Zeng Biao, blood poured out from the corners of his mouth, he had blood in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Master Zeng Biao, you are a shameless 'concubine', right?" Hey hey ......"
As he spoke, he gulped out the blood.
Zheng Qing smiled and laughed, and his voice gradually weakened until he was silent.
"Zheng Qing!" Zheng Guang screamed hard, but Zheng Qing was already dead and would never answer again.
The two brothers have experienced several disasters, but they didn't expect to come, thinking that they could eat an iron rice bowl by abandoning the secret and casting a clear name, and by the way, they soared, but they didn't expect that the tribulation would come unexpectedly.
Zeng Biao was insulted by Zheng Qing before he died, he was angry in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Zheng Qing is afraid of crime and disobedience, and he will correct the law on the spot." Someone came, tied up Zheng Guang, and escorted him back to Beijing on the same day! ”
Zheng Guang held the knife tightly, trembling because he was too hard.
For a while, he really wanted to kill Zeng Biao, but he still held back, and finally threw the knife away, showing weakness and saying, "My lord, I'll go with you!" Can...... Let me bury my brother first? ”
The prefect had just seen a human tragedy, and he felt pity for him, and helped Zheng Guang to say to Zeng Biao: "My lord, I think Zheng Guang will honestly return to Beijing with you to investigate." This kind of thing is something that no one wants to see happen today. As the saying goes, the deceased is the greatest, so let Zheng Guang deal with Zheng Qing's aftermath first, what do you think? ”
Zeng Biao sold a thin noodle from the prefect, and he also took this opportunity to meet with the local officials and let them have a snack, so he said: "Unlucky! Just give you a day to start tomorrow! ”
Zheng Guang felt that the road ahead was dark, and he didn't know who would light a light for him and guide the way.
Zheng Guang collected Zheng Qing's body, simply dealt with the aftermath, and the next day honestly tied his hands and returned to Beijing with Zeng Biao for interrogation.
Before Zeng Biao returned to Beijing, Yue Fei finally hurried back to the capital.
As soon as Yue Fei entered the city, he didn't have time to return home, so he rushed to the palace as soon as possible.
"I don't know why the emperor summoned himself back to Beijing in such a hurry?" He thought to himself that he should return to the emperor's questions as soon as possible, so that he could return to the northwest to command the front-line battle.
Yue Fei's political sensitivity is still too low. He didn't think about why the emperor was in such a hurry to summon him back to Beijing, and he didn't even ask others halfway.
Because there was no dynasty today, Yue Fei went directly to the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor was playing with the two princes in the imperial garden, and when he heard that Yue Fei was coming, he asked Empress Wu and Pan Guifei to take the princes to play, and returned to the pavilion to meet Yue Fei.
"Chen Yue Fei, meet the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Yue Fei bowed.
Zhao Gou saw Yue Fei's dusty appearance and asked, "Please get up." Aiqing is covered in dust and hasn't returned home yet, right? ”
Yue Fei got up and replied, "Yes." The minister wants to return to the emperor's affairs as soon as possible, so that he can rush back to the northwest as soon as possible and command the battle! ”
Zhao Gou admired Yue Fei's dedication in his heart, and said: "Aiqing is not in a hurry to go back to command the battle first, there are several other generals, to deal with some poor people in Western Liao, are they still captured?" Presumably Aiqing still doesn't know, why am I in a hurry to announce your return to Beijing? ”
"Please make it clear to the emperor!"
"Aiqing doesn't need to be careful, I just want to know more about the case of the first emperor."
"The case of the first emperor? What's wrong? Is it related to ministers? ”
Zhao Gou picked up a bowl of tea in his left hand, and carried the tea leaves on the water with the lid of the teacup in his right hand, and said: "At that time, Aiqing and King Xiang were together, because King Xiang was far away in the South Seas, and I had to ask you for verification. When Qin and Han went to the military camp in Guihua Prefecture at that time, did King Xiang talk to Qin Han about the first emperor? ”
Yue Fei recalled: "The minister remembers that King Xiang told Qin Han that if he could save the first emperor halfway, he could make the Jin Dynasty lose a major bargaining chip. ”
"Is that so? This is the original words of King Xiang? Zhao Gou asked.
"That's right, the minister will never dare to deceive the emperor."
"But...... Qin Han killed the first emperor! ”
Yue Fei was shocked: "What? There is such a thing! ”
Zhao Gou said: "It seems that Qin Han Yin and Fengyang are violating...... Okay, I know in my heart, Aiqing has been tired all the way, let's go back to the house first. ”
Zeng Biao returned to the capital, first sent Zheng Guang to the prison of the Criminal Department, and then immediately went to report to Qin Hui.
Qin Hui listened to Zeng Biao's report and expressed his appreciation for his ability, and he would praise Zeng Biao in front of the emperor if he had the opportunity.
Zeng Biao was overjoyed and said, "My lord, how are you going to interrogate Zheng Guang?" ”
Qin Hui said: "Don't you already know the details, what else am I going to try?" You yourself are the head of the Criminal Department, and you have many years of work experience in the Criminal Department, do you want me to do everything myself? ”
Zeng Biao's eyes rolled and he understood what Qin Hui meant.
Zeng Biao said: "Mr. has learned a lesson. The students have already figured out and experienced the ins and outs of the matter. The Zheng brothers were stubborn, first killed the brother-in-law of the county without the law, and then beat the county without discipline, and after refusing to be summoned by the criminal department, the official personally went to Fujian, but the Zheng brothers spoke badly to each other, and even raised a knife to attack the official. In the end, when they saw that the Zheng brothers were about to flee in fear of disobedience, they had no choice but to shoot Zheng Qing and successfully take Zheng Guang's ......"
Qin Hui interrupted: "Okay, you immediately write a detailed note, and the official will take it and present it to the emperor." In addition, the witnesses who can prove your statement of the Zheng brothers' guilt should also be prepared, in case the emperor or others want to ask for circumstantial evidence! ”
"Students understand, sir, rest assured!" Zeng Biao said that he had already understood Lord Qin's mind thoroughly.
Qin Hui was very satisfied and said, "You are very good, I will ask the emperor to promote you." ”
Zeng Biao was so grateful that he said, "Lord Xie is promoted!" Mr. Xie's advice! ”
After saying this, Zeng Biao remembered that he heard rumors about Qu Ping in the South China Sea in Fujian, and whispered to Qin Hui: "There is one more thing, I heard that King Xiang is in the Three Buddhas......
