Chapter 43: The Prefect of the Youth
Fang Zhicheng went back and forth with a heavy face, obviously letting the thief slip away. I am afraid that this "unprecedented" banquet will be so cold, and after some greetings, Lord Fang let everyone go. Then I saw the troops gathering outside the Fang Mansion and scattering in all directions.
Zhao Hua swaggered out of the Fang Mansion, he thought to himself that after going back, the queen mother would be so happy to see the eldest brother, thinking about it, he told Zhao Tuo about his plan.
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Brother Hua, my brother won't go back for the time being, you go back first to report to your mother that you are safe." β
Zhao Hua asked in surprise: "Big brother, are you going to watch his Fang Zhicheng's good show here?" What's so nice about this. β
"Second brother, what kind of drama can Fang Zhicheng see, it's just that the two big tigers of Rongcheng are about to start wrestling their wrists, and I'm afraid the scene will be very interesting at that time." Gu Changsheng couldn't help but interrupt.
Zhao Hua thought about it thoughtfully, but he also guessed three points. But I'm not sure, because he doesn't have the idea to understand this, and these things are not as interesting as the music in Kyochu*.
After that, Zhao Hua left all the guards to Zhao Tuo, and he took Zhou Jin away, he "finally" came out to play in the open, but he couldn't go back so early.
The five people left behind are all veterans of the forbidden army in Beijing, and they are all among the best players, reliable and trustworthy.
Qing Liansheng walked out of Fang Mansion alone, his eyes swept over the teams of soldiers and horses, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "This Fang Zhicheng finally can't sit still, so blatant, I'm really afraid of him!" β
The teams of Zhendong troops seemed to go straight in one direction with a purpose, waiting for the people to disperse, but Fang Zhicheng was not in a hurry to find the Nine Dragons Pearl, but went back to the house, which made people confused for a while.
The two returned to the inn, and Zhao Tuo sent the five people out to find out the news, and the two only had to wait in the room for them to come back.
"Official! We are just passing artists, how can we be the snitch who comes and goes without a trace? β
"Whether it's a snitch or not, it's up to my general to say, when you have to speak!"
"Official! You see... A small meaning is not a respect, we are really ordinary people who keep to themselves! β
"Yo roar, the sincerity is quite big."
The officer and soldier who arrested the man weighed the money bag in his hand and smiled with satisfaction, and the bearded leader of the troupe also had a sneer. I thought that the matter would pass like this, but who knew that the officers and soldiers were smiling, but they did not hesitate at all in the movements of their hands, and with a wave of their big hands, the troupe was surrounded by water.
"Take it back!"
"Why are you arresting people!"
"That's it, you also received money from our Qin Bantou!"
"Shut up!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the bearded man's face changed on the spot, this bribery didn't work, and he was somewhat taken care of in prison, if he shouted it out so blatantly, wouldn't this force the official to put his people to death.
Sure enough, the officer and soldier who took the lead sneered, and after taking the silver out of the money bag, he threw the empty money bag to the bearded man, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.
The officers and soldiers below directly showed their knives, and the bearded man hurriedly shouted at everyone to be obedient, but everyone could only obediently close their mouths and follow the officers and soldiers.
"It's so lively, big brother, look at his Fang Zhicheng's scene, don't mention how real it is."
"Xiao An, I found that since the day you beat you, your temperament has become more and more jumpy."
"Where's the... But big brother, didn't Xiao An prevaricate that stone, why is he calling me that now. β
Gu Changsheng pouted and leaned on the window to watch.
"I just thought it was smooth, so I called it."
"Oh."
Gu Changsheng didn't feel anything, Brother Zhao could be called whatever he liked, even he didn't notice it, his relationship with Zhao Tuo became closer and closer, he used to be called Brother Zhao, but now he is directly called Big Brother.
"Huh? That's not..."
Among the detained troupes, Gu Changsheng seemed to see a familiar figure.
"Brother Yu'er... I'm afraid that their troupe didn't look at the yellow calendar when they went out, and they were arrested in the north, and how did they get arrested again in the east. β
"Xiao An, what did you say?"
"Oh, no, big brother, when are we going to meet that Qing Governor's Mansion?"
"Tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Qingliansheng, the disciple of Zhao Wou-Ki, the king of Pingnan, is very famous in the capital, and Zhao Wou-Ki is the prince of Zheng'er Bajing, and he is extremely fond of him, and he often says good things about his protΓ©gΓ© in front of people. Even His Majesty the Emperor has a great impression of this Qingliansheng, and the most important thing is that Zhao Tuo, a half of the soldiers who have no intention of ruling the government, even knows about this person.
"Big brother, shall we go like this? Does he Qingliansheng recognize you, don't be blasted out by someone then. β
"Begging, my jade card is with me, he doesn't know me, he has to know my jade card."
"Big brother, how do you know that he can give you face?"
"I can't say for sure, but his teacher, Zhao Wouji, the king of Pingnan, is my imperial uncle, and I think he will give me some face." Zhao Tuo said this sentence with a little consideration, and Gu Changsheng heard what he meant.
"Big brother, your imperial uncle won't be a ruthless person, right?"
Zhao Tuo heard Gu Changsheng's concerns, so he laughed and replied: "Xiao An, when have you been so confused, if my imperial uncle is ruthless, how can my father keep him?" β
"Oh... Your Majesty the Emperor..."
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Xiao An, don't look at my father like this now... Not... Lazy, but he used to be a clever Lord of Iron Will! I think back then, my father was only the least valued son of my ancestors, but such an inconspicuous son stood out among his many elder brothers, and even my arrogant imperial uncle followed behind my father, you can imagine what kind of person my father was back then. β
"Your Majesty, why..."
"Hey... I don't know, I grew up in the palace, I saw my father very little, every day is either study or practice, I left the palace at the age of fifteen, until now I am still mixed in the border army, I don't know the reason. β
"Big brother, do you think it is because you have been out of the palace since you were a child, and your majesty is no longer filial piety, so you are not made the crown prince?"
Zhao Tuo shook his head and smiled: "How can it be such a superficial reason?" If this is the case, then wouldn't my younger brothers have been ordained a long time ago? β
"Also, only he can know His Majesty's thoughts."
"Okay, let's not talk about it, Qingfu has arrived."
"Oh."
Inside Qingfu.
"Master, there are two people outside who ask to see, and one of them claims to be Zhao Tuo, saying that you will definitely meet him after you know."
Qing Liansheng was holding the military book in his hand, studying it carefully, and when he heard the housekeeper coming to report, when he heard the word "Zhao Tuo", the hand holding the military book shook involuntarily. He put down the book and told the butler to invite them both into the hall, and he came after.
"The Great Prince?"
