Chapter 12: Who is the Stretch of Life (4)
[A little late, the second update.] Regarding the question of next month's update, I have already asked a friend in the book review area, so I will explain it here. In December and January, I changed three times a day, and I guaranteed 600,000 words in two months, because I said in October last year that I would send a book on the Longkong Forum, promising 5,000 words a day. But for some reason, it dragged on for two months, and it was not until December that the article was published. So I made the last promise to make up the arrears for the first two months in December and January. Now that the debt has finally been paid off, I can also return to the normal update state. From next month, two more than 6,000 words a day, and there may be more changes in the middle. I ask for your understanding in this regard. 】
While the Son of Heaven and the ministers were worried about Wen Yanbo's health in the Chongzheng Palace, the other person no longer needed to be worried about his health.
"Deputy Chief Dou is really ruthless." At the back door of the Qinzhou Prefecture Office, Wang Sunchen looked at the roll of reed mats carried by two messengers in front of him, and sighed with a sigh that it was not his business.
The rolled up reed mat was five feet long. The top was tightly covered, but the bottom showed two feet. One foot was still wearing black boots, the other was bare, and even the socks were gone.
Han Gang lifted the corner of the mat with his hand, revealing a distorted face. His eyes widened, his pupils dilated, he was abrupt, his mouth and nose were crooked from the pain, and he looked very different from his appearance before he died, because he was killed by a rod in severe pain. However, the corpse only had blood stains on the mouth and nose, but the face was still clean, and Dou Shunqing did not slap his face.
"Let's get out of it."
Han Gang put down the mat, straightened up and stepped aside. Standing at the back door of the state government and stopping the corpse bearer is not an auspicious thing. The corpse blocked the door, and the porters who guarded the door were in a hurry to rub their hands.
Wang Sunchen watched a roll of reed mats being carried away, turned back to Han Gang and said, "Wang Qinian's luck is really bad. ”
"It's not luck." Han Gang shook his head, "Heaven is evil, it is forgivable, self-inflicted, you can't live." This official has no old grudges with him, and he designed to harm me for Dou Shunqing, so he will fall to the point where he is now. ”
Wang Qinian was killed by a cane, which was also expected. How could Dou Shunqing not kill him? first came up with a bad idea, but was seen through by the object of the plot, and was forced to deliver the letter. It's nothing if the conspiracy is seen through, but it's not good if it comes out. Dou Shunqing wanted to push this matter forward, but of course she wanted to kill Wang Qinian.
This morning, Deputy Chief Dou just found an excuse casually, such as the weather was too hot, he didn't eat breakfast well, and he knew why he was still screaming on the tree, so he called Wang Qinian to the official hall, knocked over and knocked him with a big stick. The ones who started were the strong guards around Dou Shunqing, one heavier than the other, and one or twenty sticks took Wang Qinian's life.
The errand carrying Wang Qinian's body had already turned around the corner, and Han Gang retracted his gaze and sighed again. Although Wang Qinian's death was expected and there was also a case of abdomen, it was really unhappy to see the person who had taken refuge in him die so inexplicably. Thinking about it, Wang Shao watched Nazhi Linzhan and other seven departments being destroyed by Dong Yu, and he was also in this mood.
Turning around, Han Gang walked into the yamen, but not back to his official hall, nor to find Wang Shao. Wang Sunchen looked at the path Han Gang took, but he went straight to the Sanjin East Courtyard, where the deputy chief and the two official offices were located.
"Third brother, where are you going?!" Wang Sunchen chased after him and exclaimed.
"Deputy Chief Dou is there." Han Gang said lightly, as if he had said hello to his family after dinner, and said that he was going to visit the neighbor's house, "Whatever Wang Qinian said, I was the one in the public hall, he was killed by a cane, so I had to argue with Deputy Chief Dou for an explanation." Save some people from saying that we don't care about the lives of our men. ”
"Third brother! You ......" Wang Sunchen was anxious at first, but immediately reacted, who is in front of him? That's his third brother Han, Han Yukun who is scheming! Don't look at him and stride forward with his neck bent, but no matter which high-ranking official or dignitary bumps into him, they all fall into disgrace without exception. Wang Sunchen stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, are you thinking about something?" ”
"What do you say?" Han Gang asked him with a smile, and without hesitation, he stepped into the courtyard where Dou Shunqing's official hall was located.
Just supervised the death of Wang Qinian, who had stolen the master's back, watching him be beaten to the point of flesh and blood, from screaming to being silent, Dou Shunqing's mood finally improved a little.
But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Han Gang would come directly to the door. And Han Gang's menacing appearance when he stepped into the courtyard gate immediately attracted a group of people to probe their brains outside.
Han Gang saluted Dou Shunqing, pointed to the blood stains that remained at his feet, and asked unceremoniously: "Dare to ask and observe, I don't know which law Wang Qinian, the official of the contempt hall, has violated, and why should he be punished to death with a cane?!" ”
Dou Shunqing closed his eyes and ignored Han Gang, as if he would lose his identity if he said a word. One of his staff members, Dou Shunqing, replied: "It is not good to do things and deceive the officials." ”
Han Gang glanced at the staff, who was also a famous figure beside Dou Shunqing. is named Lin Wenjing, who often does some private business for Dou Shunqing, relying on the prestige of the deputy capital manager, like Dou Qiyanei, walking sideways in Qinzhou City, and Ping Suli is the most arrogant.
Hearing him reply on behalf of Dou Shunqing, Han Gang asked: "I don't know what the so-called work is, what is it to do?" ”
Lin Wenjing snorted and sneered twice, raised his chin, and said in a weird manner: "This is also what you are qualified to ask for business?!" ”
"Am I not qualified to ask? Wang Qinian is a person in the official hall! Han Gang raised his hand and pointed at Lin Wenjing, and shouted: "And!" This official asks the observer for advice, and if he wants to speak, he also observes, and it is not your turn to intervene! Shut up and stand aside! ”
Han Gang unceremoniously pointed at Lin Wenjing's nose and reprimanded, and outside the official hall, there was another low-suppressed laughter. Lin Wenjing's face suddenly turned red. He had never been so humiliated in Qinzhou City, and during the time since he came to Qinzhou, who was not respectful to him, even if Li Shizhong and Xiang Bao saw him, they were polite. Lin Wenjing clenched his teeth tightly, making a noise, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and slash the rampant irrigation child in front of him.
Dou Shunqing finally opened his eyes at this time, raised his hand and patted the armrest of the chair, and his voice was deep, "Han Gang! You dare to mess with my court! ”
The power of the deputy head of the soldiers and horses is not idle, the snickering outside is gone, and Han Gang's reaction is waiting inside and outside the hall.
"Don't dare!" Han Gang arched his hand, his back straightened up, "Xia Guan just came to ask for advice and observe why he killed the public of the Contempt Hall with a cane." Wang Qinian has his own family, and he was observed to order him to die with a cane, what kind of crime is it, and what is the reason for his death, the official always has to explain to his family. ”
Han Gang's tone softened slightly, and he explained a few words later, as if he was going down the steps for Dou Shunqing.
"Wang Qinian's work is not good, so the cane blames him, which is also a reminder. As for what's going on, it's confidential, not for you to ask. Dou Shunqing didn't say the reason why he scolded Wang Qinian, but this was an answer. He explained to the official business, and gave enough face, and when Dou Shunqing thought about it, Han Gang should also retreat with interest.
Han Gang was waiting for Dou Shunqing to speak like this, and immediately asked: "In this case, why don't you send Wang Qinian's weapon to the main hall and hand it over to the head of the capital to dispose of." Confidential matters are not heard by the officials, but the governor should always be able to listen to them, right? Wang Qinian is a servant of the Ministry of Justice, and he observes the conviction of the governor of the capital, which is inevitably overstepping. ”
Dou Shunqing's face turned blank, and her right hand tightly pinched the armrest of the chair. Li Shizhong is the governor of Qinzhou, Qin Feng is slightly pacified and the head of the soldiers and horses, these three sends, but Han Gang only put forward the identity of the head of the capital, isn't it just saying that he is just the deputy head of the capital? !
He looked left and right, and wanted to immediately order Han Gang's staff to be killed in the hall. But can he do that? There is so much circumstantial evidence outside, and the following crimes cannot be planted on Han Gang's head, not to mention that Han Gang is still a civil official! Damn civil official, Dou Shunqing hated in his heart, 'This martial artist really can't do it!' ’
"Han Gang......" Dou Shunqing slowly read Han Gang's name.
Han Gang arched his hand and made a gesture of waiting for the order: "The lower official is here!" ”
"If you go down, I will tell Li Yousi about this." was pulled out by Han Gang Li Shizhong's tiger skin, and Dou Shunqing actually couldn't say anything. You can't kill it, you can't fight it, you can only give in for the time being, and you can count it together in the future. But he still fought for a breath in the conversation.
When Han Gang heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart. Although the dispatch is not as good as that of people, Dou Shunqing's official observation envoy is the fifth grade, while Li Shizhong's official Right Shilang is the sixth grade, and in terms of official quality, it is Dou Shunqing who is on top. Dou Shunqing took the official name Li Shizhong, this is a competition for a high rank, and I don't know if Li Shizhong will be happy to hear it.
"The lower officials will also report this matter to the head of the capital and ask him to give justice! Human life is at stake, and it is not something that can be killed if you want to. Han Gang still had a straight face, and said the last sentence in a righteous and stern manner. He saluted and left, leaving behind Dou Shunqing, who was trembling with anger behind him.
Han Gang walked out of the courtyard where the deputy governor's office was located, but saw Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu standing outside the courtyard, waiting for him to come out.
Han Gang bowed to the two top bosses, but he was not surprised at all. The state government is so big, he made a big fuss here with Dou Shunqing, how could the two of them not receive the news. If Fang Cai Dou Shunqing really dared to attack, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu would definitely come in to save people.
The three of them walked all the way back to Gao Zunyu's public hall, sat down in the room, and Gao Zunyu asked, "Yukun, why did you send such an evil fire today?" Just for a Wang Qinian? ”
"A few days ago, Wang Qinian was forced to come over by the lower officials. originally wanted him to send a letter of nomination, but he didn't expect Dou Shunqing to be so spicy. Han Gang shook his head and sighed, "Seeing Wang Qinian being carried out of the city today, I was in a bad mood, so I just found an excuse to make trouble." ”
"Angry?" Gao Zunyu asked with a smile, and said in his heart that this Han Yukun is really young and vigorous, and he is shrewd and powerful on weekdays, but when he gets angry, he really doesn't care about anything.
"Of course not. Dou Shunqing didn't leave, and Xia Guan couldn't sleep well day and night, so he felt that there was a poisonous snake behind him. Han Gang's expression deepened, "Deputy Chief Dou has long regarded Xia Guan as a thorn in his side, and the conspiracy is one after another, and Xia Guan has to find a way to protect himself." ”
