Chapter 85: The Spy Returns to the Sword (3)
Zhuang Ji looked at the person and was taken aback.
The person who came turned to Zhuang Ji and saluted and said, "Report to General Zhuang, the subordinates have not completed the task, ask for punishment." ”
Zhuang Ji said in surprise: "Zhong Yitong, didn't you go after Dr. Jin Shangjin?" Why are you here at this time? ”
Zhong Yitong directly reported: "The king is above, General Zhuang, after the subordinates got the order, they quickly went out of the boat and went straight down the river, on the way to chase, they inquired about people, and the result was the same as what we were chasing, Dr. Jin Shangjin did not leave Wucheng at all, alas, we chased in vain." ”
When Princess Jingyin heard this, she doubted in disbelief: "You, what did you say?" Jin Shang was not sent away? Is there any evidence? ”
Zhong Yitong looked at the king, then at Zilan, and stopped talking.
Zhuang Ji urged: "You speak, there is a king, what are you afraid of?" ”
King Chu really spoke: "You boldly say that anyone who hears your information is not allowed to go out of this door. ”
Zhong Yitong listened to the king's words, and his heart was even more conflicted, and he replied: "If this is the case, the lower officials can't say anything." ”
Princess Jingyin asked, "Why?" Shall the king not be able to listen to what you say? ”
Zhuang Ji understood what Zhong Yitong meant, and said to the king: "The king is on top, what he means is that after saying the situation, he has to go out to execute, if none of us present can go out of this door, it is equivalent to not saying it." ”
Zhong Yitong glanced at Zilan and said to the king: "Report to the king, the lower official was ordered to drive the boat to chase after Dr. Jin, and when he found that he could never catch up, he returned to Wucheng to carry out a search, and the result was ...... Results ......"
The king urged, "What happened?" ”
Zhuang Ji guessed: "The result is not easy to say? ”
Princess Jingyin said quickly: "It seems that Zilan has to avoid it. ”
Zilan said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't Sister Princess get along with Zilan all the time?" Brother Wang already has a decree, and anyone here can listen to it, so Zilan doesn't avoid it. ”
Princess Jingyin pushed the contradiction up and said, "If you don't avoid it, it will be decided by the king." ”
But seeing that the king did not hear it, it was as if he had fallen asleep.
Princess Jingyin was about to call the king, and Zhuang Ji waved her hand. The princess did not speak.
Zilan said: "The king is too lazy to pay attention to you, just say something to sow discord, who likes you?" ”
King Chu seemed to wake up in shock, and asked listlessly, "Which one is saying something to sow discord?" Let's listen to the lonely king. ”
Zilan urged Zhong Yitong and said, "Say, you say." ”
Zhong Yitong said boldly: "Lord Ling Yin called the lower officials to say it, don't be angry when you say it." ”
Zilan said: "What you said has nothing to do with this official, why am I angry?" Look at you as an unknown person, but you speak strangely. ”
Princess Jingyin reminded Zilan: "Do you really not understand, or are you deliberately pretending to be confused?" Okay, you say, anyway, the king has made a statement, and he is not allowed to go out of this door. ”
King Chu said as if he was drunk: "Yes, that's what the lonely king means." ”
Zilan immediately glared angrily and said, "It turns out that you are all targeting me? Hmph, it's ridiculous. ”
Zhuang Ji said in a balanced manner: "Everyone present listened, and after listening to a decision, Ji believed that what he said was for everyone, not just for a certain person. Zhong Yitong, you say. ”
Zhong Yitong said cautiously: "After the lower officials knew that Dr. Jin was still in Wucheng, they rushed back and organized two teams to find out the whereabouts of Dr. Jin separately. It didn't take much effort to find him. ”
Princess Jingyin asked, "Where did you find it, or where did he hide it?" ”
Zhong Yitong said calmly: "In prison." ”
Zilan answered: "That's right, Jin Shang was sent back to Ying, it was a punishment, and now he is in prison, it is also a punishment, you are still mysterious, is it worth it?" ”
Zhong Yitong listened to Zilan's words, and his chest suddenly became angry, and he broke the news and said: "There is also a ...... that shocked the lower officials."
Zilan stopped Zhong Yitong's words and said, "Forget about Jin Shanglao, what else is there to shock you?" All the fuss, the end of the weird, you know? ”
Princess Jingyin was quite impatient and said, "People report the situation to the king, what are you talking about?" She turned to the bell, "What's the shock, you say." ”
Zhong Yitong said as calmly as possible: "As soon as the search team went, they found that the people guarding the prison were all the king's personal guards, and they brutally forbade us to enter......
Zhuang Ji asked with concern: "Are you fighting with them?" ”
Zhong Yitong denied it and said: "No, it's settled, and no one is hurt." ”
Zhuang Ji praised again and again: "That's good, that's good." ”
Zilan said dissatisfiedly: "What's good? He is a nobody, and he dares to do something to the king's guards, which is a capital crime. ”
Princess Jingyin teased: "If it is your verdict, it must be a capital crime, anyway, I believe it." ”
King Chu asked with a calm face: "Zilan, the guards have been transferred, whose order is it?" ”
Yin Zilan said in a panic: "The king is above, Zilan doesn't know about it. ”
The king said suspiciously, "Oh? So, when Jin Shang is not here, there are still people with more power than you who can mobilize the guards of the Lone King? ”
Zilan raised her hand and said, "What the king said is right, of course there is." The sky is above, Zilan never lies, this person is the king. ”
Zhuang Ji saw that the king was eyeing Zilan, if such a stalemate continued, it would affect the relationship between important members of the Chu Palace. So he diverted the topic and said: "The king is above, I think that now I have finally found the king's personal guards, this is a fortunate thing, as for who they are transferred, You Er is stunned to know this best, and he will understand it if he asks." ”
Zilan agreed and said, "Yes, yes, ask You Er, Zilan will go to him." So saying, he set off and walked to the door.
King Chu immediately stopped Zilan and said, "Zilan, what are you anxious about?" It's such a trivial matter, just let them go. ”
Zhong Yitong raised his hand and said, "Report to the king, and the lower officials will go and bring them." ”
Princess Jingyin asked, "Brother Wang, this princess is going to supervise." ”
Zhong Yitong took Princess Jingyin to the prison, and saw Jin Shang sitting in the lobby, holding a piece of pork knuckle and gnawing, and a beautiful woman beside him was holding a wine glass to feed him wine.
The princess clapped her palms and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect that Jin Lao'er would enjoy the blessing of heaven here, the wine and the beauty of the big piece of pork, even the king does not have this blessing." ”
Jin Shang hurriedly put down the pig's knuckle, picked up the hot and wet silk and wiped the grease mouth, and said, "Thanks to the princess's arrangement, the old man can enjoy a few days of quiet." ”
Princess Jingyin's face changed, and she said sharply: "Elder Jin Shang, you don't listen to the order and disobey the arrangement of this princess to send you back to Yingdu, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
Jin Shang shot back indifferently and said: "The old man is guilty, so he knows that his time is short, so he throws himself into the net, squats in this prison, eats and drinks, and is running on the road to Huangquan." ”
Zhong Yitong saw that it was not a way for the two of them to scare each other, so he said: "Doctor Jin, the lower official is under the order of the king, take you to see the king together, quickly pack up and leave." ”
Jin Shang glanced at Zhong Yitong, picked up the pork knuckle and took a bite and said, "Why do you want green onions?" You want the old man to go with you? ”
Princess Jingyin couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Jin Shanglao, now his onion is stronger than you, you are a guilty person, he is assigned by the king to take you, if you don't obey, what do you say you are?" ”
Zhong Yitong said angrily: "The princess should talk nonsense with him. Someone came, kidnapped him and took him away, the others listened, run, you can't run, as the king's personal guard, run to the prison without permission, even the king doesn't know, no matter how dishonest the consequences are, I believe you know better than the lower officials. ”
More than a dozen Chu soldiers who followed Zhong Yitong rushed forward according to the division of labor in advance, tied up Jin Shang and the others one by one, and escorted them out of the prison.
To say that King Chu has long wanted to teach Jin Shang a lesson, but he is just suffering from the fact that Jin Shang is an old minister, and as the new king, he can't act too much against the three generations of old ministers, which will make the world puzzled, and in the end, the new king will be saddled with an unkind and unrighteous black cauldron.
Now it is far away from the palace, and it is mainly between Princess Jingyin and Jin Shang and Zilan. Although Jing Yin is a little arrogant, after all, she is the sister born to her mother, and she can't be wronged at all. Therefore, he let Princess Jingyin and Jin Shang play openly.
Princess Jingyin was in front all the way, Zhong Yitong was postponed, and Jin Shang's group was escorted by the Chu army stationed in Wucheng to the official residence where the king of Chu stayed.
After they entered the office hall of the king of Chu one after another, nearly ten guards knelt down to the king in unison, bowed their heads, and said nothing.
Princess Jingyin said to the king: "Report to the king, bring all the required personnel, and ask the king to adjudicate." ”
Jin Shang said in a preemptive voice: "The king is on top, but the old man was confused for a while, and he went to the prison to drink leisurely, and he didn't share the worries for the king, but the old man became more and more confused the more he lived." ”
King Chu said dissatisfiedly: "Jin Shang, who brought you here, say it, the king will be your master." ”
As soon as he heard this, Jin Shang suddenly came to his senses, he pointed to Princess Jingyin and said, "The king is above, you have to be the master of the old man." Jing Yin, Princess Jing Yin is indeed becoming more and more disagreeable, she actually treats the old man as an enemy, and she can't get along with the old man everywhere, so she asks the king to be the master of the old man. ”
King Chu promised: "Jin Shang, what you said is the truth, King Gu asked you, who were these guards quietly transferred away from King Gu?" ”
After hearing this, Jin Shang said in a hesitant manner: "This ...... This...... How they went, the old man didn't know. ”
Princess Jingyin said angrily, "You don't know, why are they drinking and having fun with you? ”
King Chu directly asked by name: "You Er was stunned, you say, who transferred you away?" ”
You Er was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head and said nothing.
Princess Jingyin urged: "Say it quickly, if there is no decree from the king, how can you leave the king without permission and go to the prison to drink?" ”
Zhuang Ji looked left and right, and he didn't know when Zilan was gone, so he anxiously suggested: "The king is above, now that everyone has brought it, Ji implores the king to deal with it as appropriate, and if there is something wrong, retreat first." ”
