Chapter 110: Asking for Guilt in the Upper Court
Zhao Rui opened the bottle cap to reveal the nozzle, and said with a smile: "Come, everyone, come and take a closer look, I'm afraid you can't see it if it's too far away!" ”
"Oh, Lord Zhao is so polite! It's over with some money, how can I take out the baby, I'm so embarrassed! ”
The two tax collectors immediately surrounded them, if they didn't dare to be greedy for too much money, but treasures and other things, it was really in their pockets.
"Aren't the more than a dozen soldiers in the back coming to have a look?" Zhao Rui said before pressing the nozzle.
"Hey! What they know, let's just see! The short tax collector waved his hand and asked Zhao Rui to hurry up and show it.
The officials behind him were all very curious, but now they all hated the words of the tax collector, but they had no choice but to stay where they were.
"Okay...... In that case, it's all for the two of you! ”
Zhao Rui pressed the nozzle according to the two heads that came over.
"呲~"
Nearly an entire bottle of chili water was sprayed on the faces of the two of them, and nothing was wasted.
"Forehead ......"
"Oops, oops, ......"
Both of them were blinded by the sudden excitement, and then let out a scream like killing pigs, and fell to the ground and rolled back and forth.
"Ah......h
The terrible scream made passers-by outside the courtyard look sideways.
In the back, several officers and soldiers looked at the scene in front of them in horror, and they really didn't understand what was going on.
"Don't look at it, carry you two back quickly! Dare to go to my Zhao Rui's house to ask for money, I really don't know what to do! ”
Although the officers and soldiers are now the subordinates of the tax officer, Zhao Rui is in a high-ranking position, and it is not something they can offend at will.
"Zhao Rui, you wait, wait for us to report to Lord Hubu, you have your good-looking ......"
Zhao Rui smiled, threw the empty bottle of chili water aside, and put the electric baton into his arms.
"Young Master! What can I do? Originally, the court was already going to ask for the crime, isn't your confrontation another crime? Zhao Xiaoyiqiao had anxiety on her face.
"It's not supposed to be done, but it's pretty cool, haha!" Fang Hongbin couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw that they were miserable and funny.
"Xiaoyi, go clean up, we're going to leave soon!"
After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he pulled Fang Hongbin aside and said solemnly: "Hongbin, I won't continue to stay in Lin'an, I want to return to Guangxi." But as the saying goes, when your parents are here, you don't travel far, so you can go to Guangxi to find me after a while......"
"Lord Zhao, needless to say, what can I do in Lin'an, thanks to my lord, I have the opportunity to fight the Tartars, so I am willing to follow to the death!"
Seeing Fang Hongbin's long-term view, Zhao Rui couldn't help but nod in approval, although he was very arrogant, but in the choice of direction, he was really unambiguous.
At this time, a eunuch came in from outside the door, leading a group of internal guards.
"Where is Zhao Rui?" The extremely familiar voice of the male duck.
"Yo, it's Father-in-law Xiao who is here, I don't know what to do?" Zhao Rui stepped forward to pay respects.
"Lord Zhao is polite, the emperor invites you to go to the court, hurry up and follow me."
Father-in-law Xiao faced Zhao Rui, his mind was also more complicated, Zhao Rui did kill a lot of Tartars and alleviated the crisis of the Song Dynasty, but he still offended the Taishi, and he would definitely be hit by the Taishi. Such a fierce general is about to be damaged, and Gonggong Xiao can't bear it, but he is helpless.
The Taishi doesn't even care about the emperor, so what is a little eunuch of his own.
"It's not morning, what kind of pilgrimage!"
Fang Hongbin was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhao Rui: "Lord Zhao, you must not go!" This is for you! When you get to the court, life and death are up to you! ”
When Gonggong Xiao heard this, he lowered his face coldly, and said in a long voice: "Fang family child, are you instigating Lord Zhao to openly resist the order, this is a big crime of killing the head!" You have to think clearly! ”
Fang Hongbin was suddenly speechless, and had to look at Zhao Rui worriedly.
Zhao Rui smiled and waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Father-in-law Xiao, don't care about his nonsense, I'll go to court!" ”
"Adult ......"
Fang Hongbin and Zhao Gong came up together.
Zhao Rui pulled them aside and whispered: "After you pack up, drive the carriage to the gate of the palace and wait for me, in case you hear the signal that I fired three shots in a row, you will rush in to save me!" ”
"Okay, young master, you must be careful!" Zhao Gong nodded, it seemed that he was much calmer than Fang Hongbin.
So, Zhao Rui went out with Gonggong Xiao under Fang Hongbin's worried gaze.
In the back garden, Jia Yidao was sitting in the hall fiddling with crickets.
It's strange to say, I recently got a pure white cricket, and there are no hemp lines on my head, it stands to reason that this should be a defective product among crickets, but it is invincible in several gambling fights, which makes Jia Yidao very surprised.
The understanding of crickets, Jia Yidao claims to be the second, and it is estimated that no one in the world dares to call it the first, but this cricket completely violates the laws in the weaving scriptures, which makes Jia Yidao very puzzled. Originally, he wanted to use the most powerful black-headed general to compete, but as the white crickets continued to win, Jia Yidao really didn't dare to try.
In case General Black breaks it again, this loss is really reluctant.
At this moment, a guard bowed down and asked, "Master, the sedan chair has been prepared, and the time is almost up." ”
"Okay! Let's go! ”
Jia Yidao was dressed neatly, and as soon as he went out to leave, he met Qian Shuo, an official of the household department who came in a hurry.
"Lord Qian, what are you doing when you don't go to the court?" Jia Yidao asked suspiciously.
"Taishi, that Zhao Rui was arrogant and arrogant, and he actually injured the tax official who went to collect taxes, so I will report to you first and let you know!"
"Yes, I see. You just go with me, Zhao Rui has a different mind, let's settle accounts together in the court today! ”
Jia Yidao and Qian Shuo got off the sedan chair in front of the palace and walked in slowly, Jia Yidao had already said hello to the emperor, and it is estimated that Zhao Rui must be reprimanded very uncomfortable now!
Hum!
A yellow-haired boy even ignored the old man's arrangement, he was really too indulgent to him before!
Jia Yidao had a cold face, and walked to the door of the main hall, and suddenly heard the sound of giggling and laughing from inside, and faintly heard the voice of Emperor Zhao Yuan.
What's going on, isn't it supposed to be punished?
"Master! Money-sama! ”
The eunuch at the door gave a salute to the two, but Jia ignored the reason, raised his head and walked directly into the hall.
"Zhao Qingjia, did you say that little blue pill is really so magical? If it's really useful, I'll have to reward you a lot, haha! ”
"That is, after the minister buys it, he will definitely give it to the emperor immediately, and the emperor will definitely be able to be fierce and sing every night!"
"Great, Zhao Qing's family, you deserve to be the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty! Very good! Very good! ”
Jia Yidao's face was gloomy and he was about to drip water, and Zhao Rui had become a pillar of the country since he didn't come? So he was displeased and went to the Taishi chair under the emperor's side.
"The master has arrived, and he has been in good health recently!"
When Zhao Yuan saw Jia Yidao, he quickly got up to greet him.
"It's not good, the recent rescue in Xiangyang has not achieved the expected results, the minister is worried day and night, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner!"
It's coming...... Zhao Rui looked up at Jia Yidao, only to see that he was half-squinting, disdainful of looking at himself at all.
However, after Jia Yidao sat down, a thick belly squeezed out of his stomach, and he was really embarrassed to say that he didn't think about tea and rice.
"Oh? Didn't you say last time that the Tartars besieging Xiangyang retreated? Zhao Yuan frowned and asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's back, but it's here again recently!"
Jia Yidao waved his hand impatiently, perfunctory to the emperor.
"That's it! That's serious! I don't know who the general with the troops is, so why don't you hurry up and say it clearly! "Emperor Zhao Yuan rarely said a normal thing.
Jia Yidao's gaze shifted to Song Xiaobao, and the two looked at each other from afar, nodding at the same time.
"Emperor Qiqi, it was Weichen who led the musket army to the rescue! Please also ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins, among which there is an official who is not doing well, which led to failure! ”
Song Xiaobao had already been angry with Jia Yidao, and at this time he was not in a hurry to speak.
"Oh? Who is it! I'm going to dismiss him and investigate him! ”
Although Zhao Yuan's head is not bright, he was forced by his uncle to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he still has some understanding of the importance of Xiangyang.
"Emperor Qiqi, this person is the deputy commander of the Musket Army, Zhao Rui!"
Song Xiaobao looked at Zhao Rui with a cruel smile, arched his hand and said, "Zhao Rui! It was because of your slackness that day that the musket army had no ammunition available, which seriously affected the blow to the Tartars, and finally led to countless casualties among the officers and soldiers defending the city of Xiangyang, and you still pleaded guilty! ”
The corners of Taishi's mouth turned up slightly, this time in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, see how he Zhao Rui shirks!
How could it be Zhao Rui?
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and was counting on Zhao Rui to bring him a small blue pill, in case of punishment, what should I do with the medicine?
"Uh...... I think that Zhao Rui is loyal and will never make such a mistake, there must be something hidden in it! You say yes, right? Zhao Qing's family? ”
The emperor squeezed his eyebrows at Zhao Rui as he spoke.
Grass, this idiot emperor!
Jia angrily ripped off a beard and grinned in pain.
"The emperor is wise!"
Zhao Rui arched his hand and said loudly: "There is indeed a hidden secret!" Emperor Yuan announced that I should be his son-in-law, which led to the suspicion of some people in the court and removed me from my post, and I could not participate in the battle of the musket army, so I did not make ammunition! ”
Zhao Rui didn't explicitly refer to the Taishi, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard who was suspicious.
This Zhao Rui is quite bold!
Jia Yidao's squinting eyes already showed a cold glow. How many years have passed, those ministers who dare to disobey themselves have all died and degraded, Zhao Rui, doesn't he know?
"Oh, in this way, I said that Zhao Qing's family will not do anything to be sorry for Da Song, hahaha! It's all right, I'll forgive you! ”
Zhao Yuan ignored the government for many years, and didn't care who demoted Zhao Rui at all, just for the magic of the little blue pill, and protected Zhao Rui everywhere.
Jia Yidao was helpless for a while, and he couldn't imagine that Zhao Rui could still be protected by the emperor, which made the previous plan feel like it was useless.
