Chapter 903: On the Way Back (Part II)
On the road, this full of 5,000 people, is now escorting the emperor Zhu Yijun towards the capital, in fact, from the place where they started, it is really not far from the capital, if you ride a fast horse, it is estimated that even a quarter of the time of the pillar of incense will be able to enter Fuchengmen, but there is no way, now you have to go back so slowly, this is not the time to put on a show, after all, last night's assassination incident, so that many people's hearts are raised to the throat, now is the time for safety first.
Along the way, Zhang Fan also followed him, and next to Zhang Fan was Wang Meng, who went and returned from last night because there were some things to discuss with Zhang Fan.
Now, the two of them are driving at the very edge of the team, and they are almost in a state of breaking away from the team, after all, what the two are going to say is really important, if someone listens to it and shakes it out, then the two of them will have to lose their heads.
"What is the situation in the capital now," before Wang Meng could speak, Zhang Fan spoke first, he knew that they were all by Zhu Yijun's side now, and it was naturally impossible to know what was going on in the capital, so he wanted to ask, and the situation in the capital could also make him understand some things.
"It's okay in the capital," Wang Meng replied, after all, this is not something that cannot be said, even if it is heard, it is not a big deal, "The assassination of His Majesty, after all, is very important, so the imperial court did not announce it, so the ordinary people in the capital did not know that this kind of thing happened last night, and no one would think like this, and, in fact, this matter, the Empress Dowager Li did quite well, even in the official circle, the Empress Dowager did not let people make a big deal about it, However, there are still some people who know about this matter, such as several scholars in the cabinet, all of whom know about it, and those people below, as long as they have some way, can also inquire about this matter, but they don't know much, they just know that His Majesty was assassinated."
"Oh," hearing Wang Meng say this, Zhang Fan nodded, Empress Dowager Li did this, it was also within Zhang Fan's expectations, after all, although this matter was planned by Empress Dowager Li herself, but after all, this is a play to deal with people, so naturally it is necessary to do a little bit, the more mysterious you are, the more others will think that it is really like this, if you make it too much, even you don't believe that this matter is true, how can the following personal essence buy it.
"But......" Before Zhang Fan could ask something, Wang Meng spoke, but he said very reluctantly, "It's ...... Adult's home...... I don't know where I learned about it, and when I heard about it, I immediately rushed to the adult's house, but when the lowly office arrived, although it was ugly, the adult's family was not asleep, all awake, and they were all very anxious, the second lady...... The second lady almost rushed over to see if the adult had an accident, but fortunately she was persuaded by the adult's mother, and she quickly told the adult's family the news that the adult had not had an accident, which was considered to be calming down,"
"......" Hearing Wang Meng say such a thing, Zhang Fan's face was stunned, he really didn't expect that this matter would actually reach the ears of his family, but then, Zhang Fan smiled helplessly, but at the same time, Zhang Fan also felt very warm in his heart, and it was a great thing to be able to care for his family so much, and it was extremely lucky.
"That's right," Zhang Fan put aside his family affairs for the time being, looked around, and asked Wang Meng, "How was it after you went back last night?"
Hearing Zhang Fan ask about this matter, Wang Meng was also alert, before answering Zhang Fan's words, Wang Meng looked up, even if it was the closest person to them, it was estimated that Wang Meng's own ear power would not be able to hear the conversation here, not to mention how loud the footsteps made by the march of the five thousand people had long since hidden their voices, but even so, after all, it was related to this matter, so Wang Meng was still very careful when answering Zhang Fan.
"My lord," Wang Meng leaned over to Zhang Fan's side and whispered, "Things are going well, last night, the lowly official returned to the city with the fifty soldiers of the rear army, and those people were also responsible, and they sent the lowly two people to the yamen, and saw that the brothers in the yamen escorted Zhuo Yang in, and this is the way to go back to treat the more than ten injured people, "Zhuo Yang, it was the name of the assassin last night."
"Zhuo Yang, he's fine," Zhang Fan also asked in a low voice, "I see that yesterday, your knife was really unforgiving, Zhuo Yang also shed a lot of blood, it doesn't matter," Obviously, Zhang Fan cares about that person very much.
"Don't worry, my lord," Wang Meng replied, "The knife that was humble last night was very measured, maybe it seems that Zhuo Yang's injury was not light, and he also shed a lot of blood, but in fact, he has nothing to do at all, as long as he bandages it, and when the wound heals, he can turn over and practice martial arts,"
"That's fine," Zhang Fan was relieved when he heard Wang Meng say this, and then asked, "There is no flaw in the matter, where are Zhuoyang and the others now?"
"There is nothing flawed in the matter," Wang Meng replied, "Last night, I didn't say anything to those soldiers in the rear army along the way, they all seemed to be a little afraid of the lowly position, but this is also a good thing, after all, the adults have said, less to say less wrong, until they return to the Yamen, the rules in the Yamen, the adults are clearer than the lowly duties, the two brothers who locked Zhuo Yang up, anyway, they don't know Zhuo Yang, even if they are suspicious, but as long as they don't say it, they will never dare to ask anything, The lowly position made Zhuo Yang locked up in the black prison behind, where there are all places where single people are kept, and there are no guards inside, only outside, and the lowly position also specially instructed the brothers who take care of it, unless the three of them, except for the adults, the lowly and Liang Chao, if anyone else wants to come, they will not be allowed to go, and there will be absolutely no flaws,"
"As for Zhuo Yang's words...... Wang Meng said this, there was also some helplessness in his eyes, and Zhang Fan was very curious, "Before he came this morning, he also went in to see, it turned out that Liang Chao went to see him last night, but he found that the brothers who were guarding looked at me a little uncertainly, and when he went in, he knew, it turned out that Liang Chao's kid, after learning that Zhuo Yang came back and was locked up last night, I don't know where he got some wine and food in the middle of the night, and brought it in to drink with Zhuo Yang, ”
No wonder when Wang Meng said this, his face changed uncertainly, it turned out to be like this, and in fact, when Zhang Fan heard about it, he was also helpless: "This Liang Chao, I really don't know what to do, he actually took wine and food to the black prison, if people can see something, wouldn't it be troublesome,"
"This ...... I don't think adults need to worry," Wang Meng said to Zhang Fan with a more eccentric face, "Actually, yesterday Liang Chao brought in the wine and food, not with a food box, but with the largest box in the yamen, containing torture tools.
Hearing Wang Meng say this, the expression on Zhang Fan's face became even more strange, using a torture instrument to bring in wine and food to eat and drink, this kind of whimsical idea may be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.
Dare to be affectionate, just now Wang Meng said that the guards looked at him very wrongly, it turned out that Liang Chao didn't come out all night after he got into it with a lot of "torture tools".
"And, according to the brothers who guarded......," Wang Meng apparently hadn't finished speaking, "and from last night to now, there have been screams from inside,"
"Uh......" At this moment, Zhang Fan was really speechless.
Liang Chao, this kid, is already married, I heard that even the child is about to have it, and he is still playing this set now, it seems that when Ming'er finds an hour, Zhang Fan has to ask someone to say a word to Hong'er, let her discipline Liang Chao well.
"But my lord, things will never be revealed, and this humble position can also be guaranteed," Wang Meng added, "Liang Chao ...... It's a bit of a fool, but even if he is a fool, it's not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything, and he's still very thoughtful,"
"I hope so," Zhang Fan sighed, "But now, Zhuo Yang will be in trouble in the future, once this matter is over, it is estimated that he will not have a way to appear in some places again in the future, and assassinating the emperor is a great crime that everyone in the world will be punished,"
"That's true," Wang Meng also looked pityful, "but it's okay, after all, Zhuo Yang's appearance, you also know it, Zhuo Yang was like that last night, I'm afraid the adults didn't recognize it at first,"
"That's right," Zhang Fan also nodded, "However, this kind of thing, it's better to be careful, otherwise maybe it will cause some trouble at some point,"
"What the lord said is," Wang Meng also nodded solemnly, and said, "I will inform Zhuo Yang of this matter, so that he can believe a little bit in his actions in the future, but after thinking about it, after this incident, even if Zhuo Yang goes out to do errands, he will have to hide his head and show his face, and with his skills, it is not easy for people outside to recognize him,"
"Now, all of this is over, it's perfect, there's nothing to say," Zhang Fan said, "Now, it's time to think about what to do next,"
"My lord," Wang Meng continued, "The matter of the dead ghost, the humble duty has been completed, and he is also a death row prisoner, he agreed to some conditions for him, and now it depends on what the adult wants to do,"
