Chapter 211: Only be the chief officer

It was a morning of the first morning of the morning sun, and a cough suddenly came from a quiet small house in Chang'an Daozheng Square.

"Official, what's the matter? You just let the little one go to the doctor, look at what the big officials have lost weight these days, and they are still coughing like this", Laifu's voice was almost crying, "If you continue to toss like this, how can the little one explain to Mrs. when he returns to Jinzhou?" ”。

"Don't say it so evilly, I can't die!" After another string of whispered coughs, Tang Cheng waved his hand to Laifu, "Go, bring over the sackcloth I asked you to prepare yesterday."

"Where are you going? Not long after Wan Qi was withdrawn, Lord Zhang explained that it was best not to go out these days."

"Let you go, just go", seeing that Laifu still didn't move, Tang Cheng sneered and said: "Okay, okay, with Master Zhang, even I can't move you, in this case, you just go and follow him, why are you still relying on me."

Seeing that Tang Cheng started a nameless fire again and said mean words, Laifu only felt bitter in his heart, since he heard that Wei Bo was slaughtered all over the house on the night of the palace change, the big officials were like demons, not only have they never laughed anymore these days, but people have seen that they are getting thinner and thinner day by day, not to mention, even their spleen and "sex" have become impermanent, and they get angry at every turn.

Laifu knew the temperament of the big official, and he didn't say anything anymore when he knew that he couldn't do it, so he turned around without saying a word and went out to come back with a linen dress specially designed for mourning.

Tang Cheng didn't want Laifu to help, after taking the linen clothes and putting them on his body carefully, he walked out of the door while coughing, and Laifu was busy following behind when he saw this.

After leaving the courtyard, Tang Cheng took a deep breath, and then sold a large bamboo basket, incense, incense, candles and other things to the longevity material store in the fang, and beckoned to a car to pass by.

"Yizhuang in the west of the city", hearing Tang Cheng report these four words, Laifu only felt bitter. Of course he knew what Tang Cheng was going to do, but the problem was that now was not the time.

"Daguan, now the twelve gates of the four cities of Chang'an are all controlled by the flying cavalry", Laifu tried to keep his voice small and soft, "Now there is no one in the flying cavalry who doesn't know ......."

"What Wanqi is looking for is me, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of", after waving his hand and saying this, Tang Chengcheng didn't say anything more. Just buried his head in the paper money in the bamboo basket, Laifu was just about to reach out to help but was pushed away by him.

When he walked out of the city gate, the sweat on Laifu's body in the car suddenly rose, lest the flying cavalry sergeant guarding the gate come forward to interrogate, but Tang Cheng didn't seem to feel anything, and his hand on the paper money didn't shake.

Fortunately, after the tension of the past few days, Chang'an City, which has now been calmed down, has resumed its previous access control, and it is not checked when it goes out of the city. To enter the city, it is necessary to inspect the station, and in this regard, the car hired by Tang Cheng actually went out of the city safely.

Gently lifting the curtain of the car and looking at the city gate behind him, Laifu took a long breath of relief and set his eyes on Tang Cheng.

The big official knew, it turned out that he had known it for a long time! After thinking about it like this. Laifu was stunned again in his heart, no, since he dismissed all the people around him that night, he has been following him these days. Except for a few visitors, how did he know about this news after he moved to this new residence?

The big officials didn't know that the trip just now was purely lucky? Or is it not right, such a smart person as a big official would do such a thing to ask for trouble, and even most likely to kill himself?

Does the big official know or not? On the way out of the city, Laifu has been entangled in this problem.

There were too many people killed that night, and most of the Wei adults were killed. Even if there was a lucky escape, they didn't dare to come out to collect the corpse, even if they wanted to collect the corpse, they couldn't collect it, and in the end, all the bloody corpses were left in Yizhuang, which specializes in collecting ownerless corpses in the west of the city. Most of the corpses were buried together in a big pit, not to mention the coffin board, not even a tombstone. Only a very small number of dignitaries of the Wei clan have a mark, which is also to prevent any edicts against these corpses in the imperial court in the future.

There are too many corpses sent in these days, not to mention that the people dare not come, and even a few old widowers in Shouyizhuang are afraid that the yin qi is too heavy to find a place to hide. Unless there is a burial task. In that case, they will have the Jingzhao Yamen to call them, otherwise they will never come now.

Yizhuang is a deserted place. Since then, there has not even been a personal shadow, and when the car hired by Tang Cheng was still three or four miles away from Yizhuang, the driver refused to go any further.

"Let's settle the account", after giving a command to Laifu, Tang Cheng picked up the bamboo basket and got out of the car.

In a dead and silent open field, Tang Cheng's back as lonely as a bamboo basket on his back became thinner and thinner.

After closing the car money and leaving, Laifu quietly watched Tang Chengdi's back gradually get smaller and smaller but did not follow again, he knew that the current officials needed to stay alone, Laifu only needed to go through this trip, and after burning the basket of paper money, the accumulation in Tang Cheng's heart could be released.

The big officials are really ...... It can't go on like this!

Because the floating soil cover on it is too thin to suppress the thick smell of blood, although this Yizhuang is large, it is easy to find a place to bury Wei's family. It didn't take long for Tang Chengcheng to see the word Wei Bo scrawled on the wooden sign in front of a small earth grave.

Tang Cheng put down the bamboo basket on his back and squatted down in front of the head of the earthen grave, and for a long time after that, he looked at the small piece of loess like a sculpture.

"Why didn't you leave that night?" After a long time, Tang Cheng finally spoke, and his voice was like a mosquito muttering to himself: "I have clearly sent you a letter before I left, and even the back road is ready, why don't you go?" Why do you want to go back to the Ten Thousand Cavalry? ”。

"Just to go back and get that knife? Just to be loyal to the Queen Wei who pulled his mother? Wei Bo, you are a stupid 'force'", the voice like a mosquito ant became louder and louder, and Tang Cheng, who stood up suddenly, squatted for too long and his legs and feet were numb, and as soon as he stood up, the whole person fell down again, and he didn't care about it, after standing up again, he was like a madman, pointing at the pile of loess with a red face and roaring, "You are a fool." I can't see that I have different intentions because you are stupid, it is even more stupid to be able to run that night, and it is even more stupid to be stupid if you don't run and not let your wife and children run, you deserve to die if you are a fool! ”。

Tang Cheng pointed at the loess and roared, but his emotions were still not enough to vent, and he even used his feet, kicking the small grave to the ground and flying into the ground, "Don't blame me, I'm an enemy with you." The enemy is you to live or die, and if you had found out that I had killed me, I would only fucking blame myself for being stupid, and I would never blame you. Now you don't blame me for whether you can run away or kill yourself, it's not my fault, you know, it's not my fault! ”。

After this roaring hand dance, Tang Chengcheng, who was coughing again, collapsed to the ground as if his whole strength had been drained.

He lay on the edge of a grave in a mess for a long time. Xu was "confused" because the ash was too big, and two cloudy tears rolled out of the corners of Tang Cheng's eyes.

After wiping away the two tears with his sleeves, Tang Cheng, who turned over and got up, returned to the silence he had when he first came, but his two hands never stopped, and the floating soil that had just been kicked away was piled up again on the messy grave.

Hold a handful of soil and pat it with your hands. Seeing that the grave had recovered its height just now and was even more rigorous than just now, Tang Cheng still didn't realize it, and still mechanically repeated the action just now, piling up the loess one by one. Slowly, when Tang Cheng's back began to show dark sweat marks, Wei Bo's originally pointed small grave had become rounded.

The sky is round, only those buried in the round grave can soul the country, the Tang Dynasty people believe this!

"Although you are stupid, but stupid makes me respect", Tang Cheng covered the grave with the last piece of floating soil that could be found nearby, and then sat down, but his speech is much calmer now, peaceful like the warm words and laughter between old friends. "I used to think that since it was something I was going to do, I could just leave it alone; Now I know that this is not the case, it is not the case! There are many things that you have to do, want to do, or have to do, but you can't care less."

"No defects, Wei Bo's death is the will of heaven, why do you have to suffer like this", came over and was sponsored by the prince because of his merit after this palace change. The Son of Heaven gave the official from the seventh rank of the guard, the prince guarded Zhang Liang and Zhang Mingzhi. Following him is naturally a blessing.

Looking at Tang Cheng, who was exquisitely dressed and acted calmly and calmly in the past, is now emaciated. Described as haggard and dusty, Zhang Liang only felt a trace of bitterness in the center of his eyes and mouth, and the bright official clothes he was wearing made him couldn't help but blush a little on his face.

Zhang Liang was already like this, and Laifu was even more unbearable, he ran to Tang Cheng's side in three or two steps and stretched out his hand to help him up, and the words in his mouth were already choked, "Big official, don't toss yourself, you have made meritorious contributions, you have made great contributions."

"I'm fine", the only thing that made Laifu happy was that although Tang Chengdi described that he was more embarrassed than when he came just now, his voice was obviously a little more relaxed than just now.

Tang Cheng stood up and walked around to the grave, and while taking out incense, candles and other things from the bamboo basket and began to burn, he asked lightly: "What is the matter with Mingzhi here?" ”。

Zhang Liangyuan was about to squat down and burn a few pieces of paper, but after thinking about it, he still didn't move, "No defects, I have two things here, the first is that the results of Zheng Lingyi's handling have come down, taking the post of envoy of Yangzhou City, abolishing Jieyu's rank, and degrading him to a concubine and expelling him from the inner palace."

"Good news, Mingzhi bothered, please ask Mingzhi to ...... to the three halls for me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thanks".

"The second thing is about you", Zhang Liang was silent for a moment and then sighed: "Your Royal Highness asked for merit for you to be promoted to the rank of the prince of the sixth grade, Zhan Shifu, and the excerpt was rejected by the princess."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng didn't say anything, and it wasn't until he burned the stack of incense in his hand that he spoke: "The chief housekeeper of the princess's mansion came to me a few days ago."

Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and the hand behind his back suddenly tightened, "Oh? ”。

"He is here to surrender, and the condition for opening is the Zhengliupin Wannian County Order under the jurisdiction of Jing Zhaoyin", without waiting for Zhang Liang to ask again, Tang Cheng, who had not stopped burning paper in his hand, continued in the same tone: "I refused, so it is not surprising that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been refuted." As long as my identity is not clarified by the imperial court for a day, and the ten thousand cavalry soldiers kill me, they will kill the Wei party, then I will always have to hide and hide in Chang'an City, and Taiping is just using this method to 'force' me."

After hearing that Tang Cheng refused, Zhang Liang's heart that had suddenly hung up just now finally fell, "...... for today's plan."

"Let's go", Tang Cheng lit another stack of incense, and said in the sound of cigarettes: "If I don't leave, I can only be trapped to death, and only by walking can I break the game."

"Let's go?" , Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, "The court situation is like this, Your Highness is having a place to borrow, how can you go?" ”。

"My goal is too big now, it's hard to save my life if I don't leave, what can I do?" In the curling green smoke, Tang Cheng's voice sounded very distant, "Your Highness will understand, please help me tell me."

"What, you're leaving today?".

"I didn't think about going back when I went out of the city just now", after burning the incense frame in his hand, Tang Cheng stood up and looked at Zhang Liang and said: "Chang'an, I can't be stunned, if Your Highness wants to ask for an official for me again, Mingzhi, you remember, Chang'an, Luoyang don't want it, it's useless to hand over such an excerpt." Only the farther away from both capitals is the more likely it is to pass smoothly. In addition, the most important point is that I don't care if it is a superior or inferior county, but I am only the chief officer, and if I can't do that, Your Highness doesn't need to bother."

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he straightened his messy clothes and bowed to Wei Bo's grave three times.

Seeing that Tang Cheng was clearly resigning, Zhang Liang suddenly felt empty in his heart, "No defects, what should you do if you leave Qizhi?" ”。

"Calculate the time, she should have gone out of the city by now, Mingzhi has forgotten that there is also a Daya Zhizheng Garden in the Dongdao City of Shannan."

With a slight smile, after Tang Cheng bowed his hand to Zhang Liang, the person had already turned around.

"Nothing is slow, there is another news. Wei Bo's main family Mrs. Wang did not die, that night in the courtyard of the Fuyuan General's Mansion was actually burned to death in a pair of slave mother and son, the real Mrs. Wang fled with her young son to her sister's house to hide, recently the brother in accordance with His Majesty's edict to offer a reward for the search for the remnants of the Wei Party, there is a cronies in the mansion who are greedy for a bounty to report the matter to the Jingzhao Yamen", as if afraid that Tang Cheng would leave, Zhang Liang spoke quickly and urgently, "When the family came to raise the issue, it happened that I was in the brother's yazhong, and I thought that it was perfect, so I asked my brother to transfer the circle and let the mother and son live. Now these two are on their way back to their hometown in Jinyang."

"Mingzhi is noble, and it will be reported in the future", after bowing to Zhang Liang between turning around, Tang Cheng laughed loudly and walked away quickly with Laifu.

Seeing Tang Cheng's figure disappear from nowhere, Zhang Liang looked down at Wei Bo's grave, and let out another long sigh......
