Chapter 89: Intercession
As a spy boss, how can he not have a little decoration for his mansion? These people were still two miles away from Anxiangbo's Mansion, so someone sent the news to Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning was woken up in his sleep, and only responded with three words: "Got it." ”
These people's every move outside the gate also reported to Zhang Ning, until they dispersed as birds and beasts, and the last message did not end.
Coming to save your loved ones from prison? Think I'll let you go? Zhang Ning shook his head with a smile, fell asleep again, and slept until dawn.
As soon as she got up to wash, Qing'er came in and reported: "Childe, there are many adults who ask to see you." Then he presented a prayer sticker.
Zhang Ning took it and flipped through it at will, there were half fewer people than in the middle of the night, and some of the timid ones were forced by the situation last night and had to come along, and they didn't dare to come again this morning with all kinds of excuses.
Zhang Ning handed the sticker to Qing'er and said, "Let them wait in the flower hall." ”
"Yes." Qing'er responded, went out to call the little maid to bring people to the flower hall, and re-entered to wait.
Zhang Ning ate breakfast slowly, and then went to the flower hall.
The officials were standing or sitting or walking around, fidgeting, and Zhang Ning came in. They hurriedly saluted solemnly and said in unison, "I've seen Master Zhang." ”
Some people who only heard his name and saw Zhang Ning for the first time couldn't help peeking at him from the corner of their eyes, seeing that he was handsome, with a straight nose and thin lips, they couldn't help but take a second look, but he noticed it, looked over, and immediately lowered his head in fright, and his heart was drumming.
"Sit down." Zhang Ning said lightly.
The flower hall is not big, there are two official hat chairs and a coffee table in the middle, which is the main seat and the head, there are six on both sides, only enough for six people to sit. Everyone was humble according to their qualifications and official positions, and before they could humbly give up their ugliness, they saw Zhang Ning sitting on the chair in the middle of the main seat, and said: "This official has limited time, if you have any things, choose the important ones to say." ”
I don't have time here to see your humility.
The humble officials were extremely embarrassed, and the guests who were not qualified to be humble were not qualified to speak, and the flower hall was very quiet for a while.
Qing'er held a vermilion lacquer plate in her hand, and there was only one tea on the lacquer plate, and she came to the coffee table where Zhang Ning was sitting and put it down, and quietly retreated.
The officials were in the flower hall for half an hour, and no one served tea. Now only Zhang Ning is served tea, and there is no share of the officials, but the officials dare not have the slightest complaint.
What is this place? The mansion of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, want to drink tea here? Dream on.
Zhang Ning ignored a pair of eyes that looked at him, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "If it's okay, go back." ”
"Something. Something. "Several people couldn't hold their breath and responded, knowing that their friends were tortured in the edict prison, where is it okay?
Several people who were humble looked at each other, and one of them saluted and said: "My lord, I don't hide it, the lower official brother was imprisoned yesterday, and the lower official wants to ask the adult to open the net and let the official go and take a look." ”
How can you just go and see it? Many people are secretly anxious, we couldn't sleep all night last night, we were so worried that we couldn't do it, so we hoped that we could come over at dawn to intercede, and you blocked the road with this mouth, what should we do?
There was a hurry to speak: "Lord Zhang, the official seat master has also entered the edict for some reason, begging the lord to open up and let him come out." ”
"Do you want to come out alive or come out dead?" Zhang Ning opened his mouth lightly, and his words startled the officials.
Rushing to speak, he said with a smile: "Come out alive." Come out alive. ”
How can it be enough to come out alive? If one has one breath left, or if one is missing an arm or leg, it is better to die. Someone hurriedly said: "Walk out like Guo Yushi." ”
"Yes, yes, walk out."
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "Do you think that Guo Yushi came out alive shows that the official is soft-hearted, so he went to the official mansion in the middle of the night to make trouble, and went to the official mansion in the morning to make noise." Can't I put you in prison? There are a lot of empty cells, so you can go in and make sure you have enough. ”
The man before fell to the ground with a weak leg, and the rest of the officials did not have time to blame him, and pleaded one after another.
Zhang Ning waited for them to say all the good things before he said: "Go and ask Lord Zhou, how much tax and silver they owe, prepare the silver, go to Yingtianfu to pay the silver in two days, and take a piece of Chen to the edict to receive people." ”
Many people feel that this is very familiar, and they can't help but say: "What?
Zhang Ning got up and walked out of the flower hall, and said to the little guy waiting under the corridor: "Send off guests." ”
The little guy came out in response and said, "Everyone, please come here." ”
The officials asked each other, "What did Master Zhang say?" I didn't hear clearly, did Brother Nian hear clearly? ”
…………
King Zheng's convoy kicked up dust on the road, and the people along the road were still raised to ashes when they avoided the roadside. The people waited until the convoy was far away before they spit out the dust from their mouths and cursed in a low voice.
King Zheng sat in the wide car, looked ahead, and said to the leader of the guards next to the car, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
The leader of the guard sat on his horse, bowed and saluted: "Lord Wang, I have already hurried as soon as possible, and I can't go any faster." ”
This is a rural residence, the road is narrow, there are often people coming and going on the road, no matter how fast, it will not be able to receive, and the people will be injured.
King Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "We must rush to the capital within two days." ”
"This ......" The leader of the guards was embarrassed, obviously there were still five days to go, how could he arrive in two days? But the prince was worried about the empress dowager's condition, and he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to rush to the palace with his wings...... What can I do?
Just when the leader of the guard was anxious, a cloud of smoke and dust rose in front of him, and a horse galloped towards him. The leader of the guards had sharp eyes and said, "Lord Wang, the messenger is here." ”
It was the guard sent by King Zheng to deliver the letter to Youyou.
The guards saw clearly that there was King Zheng's convoy ahead, and hurriedly tightened the ropes of the horses, and the horses stood up. He jumped out of the saddle, stepped forward to King Zheng's carriage, took out a letter from his bosom, and said, "Lord, the county lord has a letter." ”
The carriage has stopped.
The leader of the guard took the letter and handed it to King Zheng with both hands.
King Zheng couldn't wait to open the letter, read it at a glance, and after reading it, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "The convoy is slowing down." ”
"Yes." The head of the guard did not dare to peek at the contents of the letter, and when he saw that King Zheng looked very good, he expected that the empress dowager was in good condition, so he hurriedly passed the order and hurried at the speed of five days.
After the carriage restarted, King Zheng carefully read the letter from his beloved daughter again, and when he saw the end, his brows twisted again, and he thought, now that Zhang Ning is holding the brocade guard, it is not easy to offend, what can I do?
He pondered for a long time and said, "Please come over Mr. Liao." ”
Mr. Liao was his staff member and trusted him very much, and he had to ask his staff for his opinion on many things.
After a while, Mr. Liao, who was riding with the leader of the guards, came over. The carriage stopped and told him to get off the horse.
Mr. Liao was about forty years old, with a pale face, very thin eyebrows, a very thin beard under his chin, and was only five feet tall.
After seeing the ceremony, Mr. Liao sat down under King Zheng and said, "The prince has received a reply from the county lord?" ”
