Chapter 454: Wang Geng's Choice
The hour has passed, the night is already deep, there is no trace on the empty South Street, only two carriages are guarded by dozens of soldiers with torches, driving on the street one after the other, but the speed is not fast, Wang Geng, who is anxious, is really a little unable to sit still, but he does not dare to urge, just because Zhang Cambodia is sitting firmly on his side - since he received the order of thorough investigation from the British king, Wang Geng is eager to plug in his wings and fly directly to the post station scene, but Zhang Cambodia does not seem to be in a hurry, took the initiative to invite Wang Geng to sit in the same car, but after getting in the car, he didn't say a word, and let the accompanying guards of the British Royal Mansion stroll around at will.
In terms of official rank, the thin hat of the lord of the palace worn by Zhang Cambodia on the top of his head is really not very rare, the left and right are just small officials from the sixth grade, not to mention that this official position is still a subordinate official of the feudal palace, even if it is quite inferior to the Zhengzhi brand of the seven-grade county order, but who in the officialdom of Hexi will not know that Zhang Cambodia is the absolute henchman of the British king Li Xian, and one person can be the home of the British king's mansion. Like such a person, who dares to ignore it, at least Wang Geng does not dare to do this, at this time, in the face of Zhang Cambodia's silence, even if Wang Geng is anxious, he can only endure it again and again.
"Lord Zhang, Your Highness has entrusted this case to us and others, but I don't know if Lord Zhang has any regulations?"
It involves his own body, Wang Geng can't really be calm and comfortable, and after this forbearance, he finally can't bear it anymore, and he can't care about being polite or impolite, he even saves greetings, and cuts to the topic straightforwardly.
"That depends on the needs of Lord Wang."
Zhang Cambodia glanced at Wang Geng without smiling, and replied calmly and unusually intriguingly.
"Huh? What does Mr. Zhang mean by this? The official is really unknown, and I ask Lord Zhang to explain it in detail on his behalf. ”
Although Wang Geng is good at government affairs, he is not too good at the way of power schemes, frowning and thinking for a while, he still can't understand the meaning of Zhang Cambodia's words, so he has to ask for advice.
"It's not difficult to conclude this case, the difference is just the degree, but I don't know what outcome Lord Wang wants?"
Zhang Cambodia did not directly answer Wang Geng's question, but quietly mentioned something.
"Of course it's ......" Although Wang Geng is not good at scheming, he may be in a high position in Zhongzhou's assassination history, so he will naturally not be a stupid person, he originally wanted to say that of course he would thoroughly investigate the case, but as soon as he said half of the words, he already realized that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but stop his mouth, looked at Zhang Cambodia suspiciously, and said in a thoughtful tone: "According to Lord Zhang's opinion, to what extent should this case be closed?" ”
"Whether Lord Wang ends this case or not, or how it ends, has nothing to do with Zhang, nor does it involve me in the British Palace, but Lord Wang is a major matter with a vital future, what does it mean, please consider it for yourself."
The key to how the case is concluded is not in how Wang Geng acts, but in how to choose the Yue Wangfu family, Zhang Cambodia naturally knows this in his heart, but he is not sure how far the Yue Wangfu family will retreat, but Zhang Cambodia obviously did not plan to inform Wang Geng of this matter clearly, but went around in a foggy circle, but vaguely pointed out in his words that Wang Geng had come to stand in line at this time.
"This ......"
Wang Geng is not stupid, he can hear the hints in Zhang Khan's words, but this is in conflict with his usual life principles, and he lacks enough confidence in solving this case, so he didn't know how to respond for a while.
"There is a big tree in the west of the river, and I am just waiting for the birds that nest on it."
Zhang Cambodia glanced at Wang Geng meaningfully, said a pun, and then closed his eyes, making it clear that he didn't want to talk further.
The tree fell, the birds can fly away, but the nest is bound to be unsafe, as for the eggs in the nest, of course, there is only the part of the broken ground, moreover, even if the birds can fly away, after all, they still have to perch on the tree, to the bottom, still have to find another tree to live in, this new tree can be as comfortable as the original one, it is not easy to say, the truth is not very profound, in terms of Wang Geng's IQ, he can see through, but he really wants to make a choice, but it is not an easy thing, this thought, I couldn't help but fall into my trance, and after a long silence, the carriage immediately fell into a dead silence again.
"Two adults, the post station has arrived."
No matter how slow the speed of the carriage is, there will be a moment when it will reach its destination, just when Wang Geng was pondering, the carriage stopped at some point, and Xiao Sanlang, the accompanying guard of the British Prince's Palace, saw that there was no movement in the carriage for a long time, so he had to come to the curtain of the carriage and reminded in a low voice.
"Arrived? Oh, good, good, Lord Zhang, please! ”
Disturbed by Xiao Sanlang like this, Wang Geng immediately woke up from his fugue state, peeked at Zhang Cambodia, and saw that his eyes were still tightly closed, and there was no reaction at all, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and it was inevitable that some incoherence would become incoherent in his mouth.
"Lord Wang, please first."
The capital of Zhang Cambodia has been said thoroughly, as for how Wang Geng will decide, Zhang Cambodia is also not very concerned, in his opinion, if Wang Geng is willing to return, it can save a lot of trivial matters, if not, but it is not a big deal, the British Prince's Mansion is full of talents, to find a person who can be the history of Lanzhou Thorn, it is not difficult at all, it is a big deal to spend a little bit of hands, and he is too lazy to mention Wang Geng, so he nodded indifferently, waved his hand, and simply said "please".
"Hmm."
Wang Geng's mind was heavy, but he didn't want to be more polite, a little absent-mindedly snorted, and as soon as he snorted, he stepped out of the carriage, and saw Ye Sheng, who was dressed in green clothes, striding forward to meet him, and couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly walked over.
"Your Excellency."
Ye Shengsu didn't like to say much, although he was respectful, he didn't say much, he simply greeted him.
"Ye Sheng, you finally came, when did you arrive, and what is the situation now?"
Ye Sheng is Wang Geng's most trusted confidant, when he received the news of the case earlier, Wang Geng had sent someone to summon Ye Sheng as soon as possible, but when Wang Geng had completed the preliminary investigation of the scene, he had never seen Ye Sheng show up, which made Wang Geng quite anxious.
"Ye has been here for a while, and there is no progress at the moment."
Ye Sheng always claimed to be a subordinate when he was to Wang Geng in the past, but this time he didn't do so, after answering a simple sentence, he didn't say much to Wang Geng, but strode up to meet Zhang Cambodia, who got out of the carriage, and bowed to the end and said: "See Mr. Zhang." ”
"Well, hard work."
Zhang Cambodia accepted Ye Sheng's gift very calmly, but he raised his hand and signaled Ye Sheng to flatten.
"Subordinate? Ye Sheng, do you know Master Zhang? ”
As soon as he heard Ye Sheng claiming to be a subordinate to Zhang Cambodia, Wang Geng couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Zhang and Ye suspiciously, and asked in surprise.
"Yes, a certain British royal mansion is in charge of family affairs, and now it is time to return to the building, and in the past, he was favored by Lord Wang, and Ye was grateful."
Ye Sheng looked at Wang Geng apologetically, replied respectfully, and then said no more, and walked behind Zhang Cambodia in two strides, stood up with his sword, and took over Xiao Sanlang's command with action, temporarily serving as the commander of the accompanying guards.
"You ......, alas......"
Wang Geng has always regarded Ye Sheng as an absolute confidant, but he didn't expect Ye Sheng to be Li Xian's person, this shock, it was not trivial, and a blinded sense of anger instantly surged into his heart, but it was quickly replaced by a huge sense of frustration, he shook his head weakly, and actually stopped talking.
"Lord Wang, it's not too early, Your Highness is still waiting for a reply."
Zhang Cambodia is a wise man today, in the grasp of people's hearts, although it is slightly worse than Di Renjie, but it is not comparable to idlers, this time seeing that Wang Geng's heart has been lost, he will not let go of this good opportunity to exert pressure, which is once again a pun on the point.
"His Royal Highness is really clever, Wang is impressed, and he should do his best, but he really doesn't dare to let His Highness wait for a long time."
Wang Geng is a person who has been a stabbing for a long time, once he has made a decision, he is not slow to act, after taking a deep breath, he bowed to Zhang Cambodia and made the final choice to stand in line.
"Good, it will be a day when Lord Wang will be glad that today's choice is correct, Zhang will not say anything superfluous, and ask Lord Wang to immediately order a search of the whole city, as for the rest of the reasons, His Royal Highness will make a decision."
More is better than less, Wang Geng can be attached, you can avoid the trouble of changing horses, Zhang Cambodia is not in vain, seeing that the matter has been successfully concluded, Zhang Cambodia will no longer pretend to be mysterious, which will give Wang Geng a reassurance.
"No!" Now that he has decided to belong to Li Xian, Wang Geng is less reserved, and without hesitation, he lowered his position, resigned himself to the head of Zhang Khan Zhi, respectfully agreed to the promise, and then walked to the front of the Lanzhou military and political officials who stayed in the distance, raised his voice and ordered: "Everyone has listened well, His Royal Highness has an order: the whole city is immediately under martial law, the whole city is searched, and the investigation is strict, and the place of the thieves who attacked the post station must be found!" ”
"No!"
Hearing Wang Geng's words, no one dared to question Li Xian's order, and they each responded loudly, and Wang Geng assigned the whole city to deploy defenses in sections to prepare for a large-scale search after dawn......
