Chapter 33: First Encounter with Zhang Yi
Because of the sparse population and chaos in the land of Xiqi, no country has fought for this land so far.
One country fights for it, and many countries attack it. As a result, the Qin family mixed up in this land. But even so, this piece of land is still hanging in the territory of the Chu State, and it is the fief of a king of Yunan, although this king of Yunan doesn't care about Xiqi's affairs, and even people are not here. Ying Xuan can't answer with this, otherwise it will hurt the face of Chu State!
Jing Yifan's question can be said to be just right, grasping the dead end of the question, making it difficult for Ying Xuan to answer.
When Ying Xuan was in an embarrassment, Zhaoyang glanced at Jing Yifan who looked at Ying Xuan with a sneer, and knew it in his heart. He moved the topic over and asked, "Yifan's nephew, do you know Song Envoy?" ”
"How dare my nephew climb high, it's the little sister who has something to do with Song Envoy!" Jing Yifan still had a cold look, a look of deep hatred with Ying Xuan.
Ying Xuan naturally saw that Jing Yifan was a little affectionate, so he smiled awkwardly and didn't speak.
On the contrary, it was Ying Xuan's smile that made Jing Yifan feel that he was demonstrating to himself, and he was immediately angry.
"The Song envoy has not yet answered the question, why not invest in the account of the king of Yunan to govern Xiqi, but instead invest in the Song Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away? Didn't the Song envoy resent me that the Chu State destroyed your Qin State hundreds of years ago? ”
Jing Yifan's words made the atmosphere present tense for a while, and everyone's eyes were on Ying Xuan.
Zhaoyang had a cold face and said in a deep voice, "Yifan, today's banquet is to celebrate my Chu State's destruction of the Yue Kingdom, as well as the beheading of 60,000 horses of the Tang State, don't mention some other things that have swept everyone's interest!" ”
Zhaoyang's dull voice made Jing Yifan realize that he had just spoken a little too much, if it weren't for his identity as the concubine of the Jing family, one of the three giants of Chu State, he was afraid that he would have been driven out by Zhaoyang.
Jing Yifan bowed to Zhaoyang and apologized, "Uncle atoned for his sins, it was Yifan who was abrupt!" Yifan punished himself with three cups! ”
After three cups, Zhaoyang's face instantly became extremely brilliant again, and he said to Ah Fu beside him, "Don't call in all the programs you have prepared!" ”
It didn't take long to see some dancers, jugglers, and singers on stage in turn, and each show sent a congratulatory message at the end of the show, which made Zhaoyang feel happy and rewarded.
Many interested people found that these performances were all famous dance troupes, and the princes and nobles had to make an appointment in advance if they wanted to perform. Let them gather here to perform, and the envoys of various countries couldn't help but wonder if their king had the face to invite him.
Everyone watched the performance on the stage attentively, and Ying Xuan naturally understood that Zhaoyang's move was really to demonstrate national strength and change the views of neighboring and vassal countries on Chu State. Although the state of Chu no longer dominates the world, it is still the strongest country!
After all the performances went down, Zhaoyang stood up and looked at everyone, and said loudly, "You can come here today, Zhaoyang is grateful, and I will take a look at the treasure of the royal gift and the family with you!" ”
Ying Xuan's heart began to tremble, as if he had been lifted down by a rope and could not land. After all, everything Ying Xuan thought in his heart until now was just speculation.
During the time period when Ah Fu went to get He's bi, Ying Xuan's heart kept pounding and hung in the air.
After a while, Ah Fu ran in with a panicked face, his gray hair was still a little messy, and he gasped, "No... Oh no~ The head of the house, and... He's gone~"
"Bang!"
Zhaoyang was about to reprimand Ah Fu for his gaffe, but when he heard the news, he slapped the wooden table and stood up, looking angry.
"There are still people who dare to steal from me Ling Yin's Mansion! How daring! Search for me! Gotta find this guy for me! Before the banquet, Zhaoyang also went to play with He's Bi, thinking that the thief must still be in the mansion, and said angrily.
He's Bi is a gift from the emperor, and if this news is known to Emperor Chu, he is afraid that he will be punished. What's more, half of the guests here are envoys from various countries, and if they are allowed to see the joke, I am afraid that it will be widely spread among countries in the future.
Suddenly, all the nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Yin Mansion were mobilized to search, and the various city gates outside were ordered to enter but not exit, and people with strange clothes and suspicious behavior were searched everywhere on the street. The house was searched inside and out, even in the backyard of the women's room.
After searching for nearly an hour, I couldn't find any trace.
Zhaoyang angrily yelled at the government soldiers who were informed: "Call all the people in the mansion for me!" Check them one by one! ”
In less than a few moments, a total of 1,000 people came in from inside and out, and they filled the empty space of the feast.
"What have you been doing since the beginning of the banquet, explain to me one by one! Leave me all without witnesses! ”
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of people shuttled through the crowd and began to register and check......
These maids are all on errands together, and the nursing home is guarded together. The doorman was chatting outside, everyone was together, and there was nothing to be suspicious of.
The commander-in-chief of the government soldiers walked to the front of Zhaoyang and reported, "The head of the family, only one guest went back to the room to rest after getting drunk, and no one testified!" ”
Zhaoyang was furious, where did he care about any evidence, and said angrily, "Detain this person for me!" Search his room! ”
Immediately afterward, a group of people tied up a man in a blue and white robe, pushed him rudely forward, and threw him to the ground.
The man's misty gaze suddenly cleared up a lot, and he asked blankly, "What are you doing here?" What crime did Zhang Yi commit? ”
Zhaoyang looked down at the man and asked, "You give Ben Ling Yin an honest explanation!" Where did you hide He's Bi? ”
"Ridiculous! Although Zhang Yi has no money, fame and fortune, how could she do such a dirty thing as a scholar? ”
"Zhang Yi!"
Ying Xuan's heart exploded, and he couldn't help but look at the man. I saw that Zhang Yi's facial features were upright, although he was not as delicate or handsome, but he did not have half of the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, but there was a heroic righteousness in his bones, which made people can't help but mistake him for an upright scholar!
Although Zhaoyang was angry, he didn't dare to bend into a move in front of everyone, and asked in a deep voice, "Ben Ling Yin is giving you a chance now, you explain where you have been during this time!" ”
Zhang Yi looked calmly, looked up at Zhaoyang, and said, "Zhang Yi has no talent for self-defense!" If you don't steal, you don't steal! ”
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Zhaoyang blushed and said angrily, "You still dare to quibble!" In the past, I just saw that you were a scholar and suffered poverty, and I kindly took you in. I didn't expect you to be such a wolf-hearted person! ”
"Someone! Give me a 20-big board to beat him! See if he recruits or not! After that, Zhang Yi was put on the desk.
"Ahh
A muffled sound sounded on Zhang Yi's buttocks, and Zhang Yi let out a miserable scream, and at the same time shouted, "Shi can be killed!" Don't be disgraced! ”
"Ahh
...
After twenty boards, Zhang Yi fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, with blood still on her hips.
At this time, the soldiers who searched Zhang Yi's room came back and reported to Zhaoyang with nothing.
Zhaoyang saw Zhang Yi's unyielding eyes, and knew that he had hit the wrong person, but it was also difficult to ride a tiger, and continued to ask, "Do you recruit or not!" ”
Zhang Yi suggested with a smile in his eyes, and said with a cold smile, "There is no evidence, and it is a trick!" The law of the state of Chu, but that's it! ”
"Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, aren't you adding fuel to the fire!" Ying Xuan's heart began to be anxious, for fear that Zhaoyang would kill him in anger.
Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'd like to see if you're the bones or the board! Give me another forty boards! ”
