Chapter 66: Has History Changed or Has Not Changed?
The beauty girl was even more pitiful in her illness, Ma Shun was deeply involved, and when the two of them talked to me and me, they learned that Wang Zhen was executed by Ling Chi at the entrance of the vegetable market, and their souls were frightened. He didn't have time to put on his boots, let alone wear an official uniform, only a middle coat, drank the order to prepare the car, and went straight to the entrance of the vegetable market.
When Ma Shun squeezed into the court, the officials and people fought for Wang Zhen's flesh, and Wang Zhen's body was drenched in blood and he fainted to death in pain.
"Princess!" Ma Shun was so angry that he couldn't help but say, snatched the whip from the coachman's hand, and whipped it on the heads and bodies of the people who ate Wang Zhenzhi's meat, and many of them were whipped.
When the people saw him dressed in satin, they dared not speak in anger. The officials saw that it was him, and they were immediately angry, Wang Zhen, we are all late, are you still afraid of you, a lackey? Several officials who had been whipped and whose faces were hot and painful rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward, some snatched the whip from his hand, and some fought back.
You punched him on the top of the head, I kicked him in the leg, after a few people moved, they looked at each other for a while, thinking that Wang Zhen was already a dying person, where did he be afraid of the lackey? Pick up the old fist and go up again.
The scene began to be chaotic.
Today, it can be said that hundreds of civil and military officials are dispatched to watch Wang Zhen be punished, there are teachers, fellow villagers, the same year, and classmates who have been persecuted by Wang Zhen and unjustly died in prison, there are so many people who want to do it, Ma Shun may not recognize himself, and the hatred for him is unfillable, so he rushed forward.
There are also those who can't get used to what Wang Zhen and Ma Shun are doing, and come forward to help.
Although he knew that no one would rob the law field, Hu Tong, as a prison officer, still sat behind the table, listened to all directions, looked at all directions, and was ready to guard against lawbreakers. But this scene happened so fast that he didn't have time to react, and a group of old, middle-aged and young people in court clothes surrounded Ma Shun. The most numerous of them are the helpless civil servants.
The civil officials usually look down on the eunuchs who lack pendants on their bodies, or intentionally or unintentionally make Wang Zhen feel white. There are many civil officials who are ordered to go out of Beijing every year, and a few of them do not give gifts to this eunuch after returning to Beijing after completing official duties, so they are remembered by Wang Zhenxuan and imprisoned, so that they die miserably.
These people will definitely come to watch Wang Zhen be tortured, and they are also in the crowd, so they have become the main force of the group beating Ma Shun.
So, what Hu Tong saw was a group of powerless civil officials beating Ma Shun.
What's more, he was stunned for a moment, there was really only one moment, Ma Shun's nose was blue and his face was swollen, he fell to the ground, and died.
Many civil officials were still unrelieved and kept kicking Ma Shun's corpse.
"Stop." Hu Tong hurriedly stopped.
The civil officials did not dare not give face to this minister, and although their hatred was still unresolved, they still stopped one after another.
"You ...... Alas! Hu Tong sighed and instructed his entourage: "Keep all the adults guarded, and make a decision after the official enters the palace to ask for instructions." ”
The matter was so big that he didn't dare to be specialized, so he could only go into the palace to ask the emperor for a word.
When they heard that they were going to be guarded as prisoners, the civil officials were not happy. Watching Wang Zhen's execution made them miss the old unjust death even more, and their hatred for Wang Zhen deepened, and the killing of a Ma Shun aroused their bloodiness even more.
Hu Tong saw that some of the civil officials had their official hats off, some had boots on one foot and socks on the other, and some had their belts torn off. There are many people and few monks, and they fight for more punches and kicks, and they can't help pushing and pulling each other. That's fine, but it's terrible for them to look like wild beasts.
Hu Tong took two steps back and said, "Ma Shun is dead, and there is a murder case, so the official has no choice but to guard you and wait for Your Majesty to fall." ”
It's not that I want to do anything to you, it's that you have caused your life, and if I want to let you go, I have to take the blame.
The civil officials didn't care, Hu Tong took two steps back, and they took two steps forward, quite a posture of beating him up in groups.
Hu Tong was shocked and said, "Come on, watch them." "These people have lost their minds, and if one doesn't deal with it well, I'm afraid that they will follow in the footsteps, and how unjust they will die.
Fortunately, every execution would send a lot of officials to protect the court, and the civil officials were soon surrounded by the officials armed with spears and the entourage brought by Hu Tong.
"Don't let them go." Hu Tong dropped a sentence, so embarrassed that he almost fled from the court and hurried to the palace.
Before Hu Tong, there was already a fan of Dongchang's Pegasus reported to Cao Jixiang. Wang Zhen is the duke of Dongchang Factory, he is Wang Zhen's cronies, the second person in Dongchang veritable, after Wang Zhen was imprisoned, he felt that the opportunity to replace Wang Zhen had come, not only did not find a way to fish out Wang Zhen, but firmly grasped Dongchang in his hands.
As for Jinyiwei, the news could not be transmitted to the commander before, and he could not get the command of the commander, which was almost equivalent to paralysis, and now the commander was even more beaten to death.
Cao Jixiang received the news, and at the same time with mixed feelings, he was glad that he was clever, abandoned Wang Zhen, and threw himself into Zhu Qizhen, and even Wang Zhen did not leave the palace when he was executed. It's still safe in the palace.
The civil servants were too bold to dare to beat people to death. While muttering, he went to the Qianqing Palace to report to Zhu Qizhen.
…………
Zhang Ning's heart was shocked, Ma Shun still couldn't escape the fate of being killed by the civil officials, and he wouldn't die of natural causes because of his crossing?
After passing through, Zhang Ning has been worried that he will change the original history because of his arrival, if this is the case, will his little historical knowledge be completely useless? If he still makes a decision based on known historical knowledge, will he be in a situation from which he will never recover?
Especially in the case that Zhang Ning has a jade pendant that can change his luck, good luck is good, if he accidentally turns into bad luck and doesn't know it, then he really doesn't know how to die.
Zhang Ning has been cautiously probing, except for opening a textile factory and bringing modern looms to this era, he didn't dare to do more, but he didn't expect that to his surprise, Ma Shun's fate did not change because of this.
No, it can also be said that it has changed, and it was beaten to death by civilian officials eight years in advance.
On the original historical track, he should have died in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, after the news of the Tumubao Incident reached the capital.
But the way of death has not changed.
Or is it that the ending of the characters in history has not changed, but the timeline has changed? Well, more observation later. Zhang Ning restrained his divergent thinking and asked Youyou: "What did he say?" ”
Although Cao Jixiang's voice was small, it was better than the silence around him, but he still didn't miss a word into his ears. Youyou said with a surprised face: "He said that Ma Shun was killed by someone." Who would dare to kill Ma Shun? ”
Who didn't see him walking around? If you dare to kill him, you are impatient.
Soon, Yoyo's extremely bright eyes were as bright as Xingchen, and he said, "Could it be that because Wang Zhen is dead, they simply beat Ma Shun to death?" ”
Who doesn't know that Ma Shun is Wang Zhen's lackey? And it's a very useless lackey, Wang Zhen went to prison, he didn't stand up and say a word, Wang Zhen was executed, and he also pretended to be dead. What is the use of such a lackey?
"Who dares to go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to kill the commander? Are the lieutenants really eating idle meals? "Zhang Ning doesn't understand, where was Ma Shun killed?
Youyou's eyes rolled, pursed his lips and chuckled, and said, "I'll go and see the imperial brother." ”
Good idea. Zhang Ning said: "Go back and tell me." ”
"No, you want to know, ask the imperial brother yourself." Yoyo winked mischievously and turned away.
When such a big thing happens, you have to have first-hand information, and you can't sit back and wait for it to be reciprocated. The leisurely tone was clearly just to whet his appetite, but Zhang Ning couldn't wait here.
Without Zhu Qizhen sending someone to call, Zhang Ning's duty is and he can't leave, what can he do? He looked around, waited for a while, and saw a little eunuch walking by with a vermilion lacquer plate in his hand and a cup of tea on the lacquer plate. The little eunuch Zhang Ning knew that it was Chen Yusheng, who specialized in serving tea and snacks for Zhu Qizhen.
Chen Yusheng was only ten years old, and it rained heavily when he was born, hence the name "Yusheng". Although he is young, he does things properly, he doesn't talk much, but he is very eye-catching, and he was transferred to the Qianqing Palace by Wang Zhen and was responsible for serving tea for Zhu Qi Town.
During the time when Zhang Ning was on duty in the palace, he had long been familiar with the little eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace, and Chen Yusheng was one of them. He shouted, "Yusheng, come here." ”
Chen Yusheng stopped and glanced at him, and said, "Master Zhang, the little one has to serve tea first, and then come to talk to you after serving tea." "Everyone knows that Master Zhang is a talker, and he likes to talk to them.
When you finish sending the tea, the daylily is cold. Zhang Ning said: "When you serve tea, you report by the way, and say that Zhang Ning wants to see you." ”
"Do you have a problem?" Chen Yusheng hesitated, the rules in the palace are strict, and it is not his job to report, so he does not dare to mix indiscriminately, otherwise he will be punished.
"There's a big deal." Zhang Ning said solemnly: "You mention it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will be able to pass it on." ”
We all know that you and Your Majesty are on good terms, and Your Majesty often comes to you to gossip in his spare time, but now that the prince is dead, and Gonggong Cao wants to establish his authority, we can't be wrong at all. Chen Yusheng was embarrassed, thought for a while, and said, "Master Zhang, wait a minute, can I mention it to Father-in-law Jia?" ”
Jia Xiaosi is a person who can speak in front of the emperor, and if he reports it, he will not have to be punished.
Zhang Ning said helplessly: "Okay, hurry up, I have something urgent." ”
Chen Yusheng agreed, because he was holding a tea cup in his hand, for fear that a little splash would come out, so he walked very slowly. Zhang Ning was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he didn't dare to urge, for fear that he would be in a hurry, so he knocked over the teacup and was punished.
Chen Yusheng walked about fifty steps when he saw a little eunuch rushing over, past him, and into Zhaoren Palace.
What's going on again? Zhang Ning was even more anxious, thinking about whether to ignore the rules of the palace and leave here without authorization and go to Zhaoren Palace. Zhu Qizhen has an easy-going temperament, so he won't be punished in the future? But when I think about it, rules can be big or small, and I can't fall into the hands of others, and I have patience.
He saw that his neck was sore, Chen Yusheng was not in a hurry and walked forward, but the little eunuch just now rushed back and went out of the palace.
It didn't take much effort, Hu Tong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly came with a robe in hand.
"Master Hu, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Ning shouted loudly, thinking, could it be that Ma Shun was killed in the court? He's not going to rob the Dharma Field, is he?
Hu Tong heard the prestige, and when he saw that it was Zhang Ning, he didn't stop his steps, and said, "Master Zhang, the old man has something to do, take the first step." ”
