Chapter 9: Infernal Affairs (Revised Edition!) )
Pei An died, and his body was chopped to a bloody blur.
Naturally, the little girl stomped with a horizontal knife like crazy, Zheng Yanqing stood aside and did not stop it.
He knew that Duoduo was madness after being frightened.
If you don't vent properly, you don't know what the outcome will be.
After Duoduo finished venting, Zheng Yanqing picked up Pei An's clothes from the ground and draped them on Duoduo's body. But Duoduo immediately threw the clothes aside, curled up on the edge of the bed, and sobbed quietly.
"Duoduo, put on your clothes, don't catch a cold!"
Yan Qing took off his clothes and draped them on Duoduo's body.
This time, Duoduo didn't throw it away again, grabbing the placket with both hands, pale and with tears on his face. The delicate pear blossom with rain is not sassy at all. Yan Qing felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but step forward and hug Duoduo hard.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the time of the sacrifice stove to find some evidence.
But after the sacrifice stove ended, Yan Qing found that Duoduo had not returned, but Pei An had disappeared. Zheng Chang and Wang Jingwen were there, but Pei An was nowhere to be seen...... Yan Qing immediately had an ominous premonition, so he made an excuse and came to check.
If it's a little later, Duoduo's innocence will be gone.
Don't look at the little girl's usual babbling, she looks like she doesn't care about anything, but in fact, she is very fragile.
"Duoduo is not afraid, the bad guys are dead."
Holding the little girl in his arms, Yanqing didn't have any ideas.
After all, Duoduo is still a child in his eyes. He is also not a pedophile, let alone a strange uncle, how can he have other thoughts except heartache. However, when he saw Pei An bullying Duoduo just now, Yan Qing was really angry!
After a few moments, Duoduo finally calmed down.
"Yanqing, the evidence has been found."
It seems that in an instant, the flowers have grown up. also no longer calls Yanqing a little showman, but instead calls him by his name.
From Pei An's clothes, Zheng Yanqing found the booklet and a bronze tiger head token.
The token reads 'Bingzhou Cao Pei'. I think it is Pei An's waist card, and the state represents the location, and 'Cao' represents the official position. As for what official position? Yanqing is not clear. Because there are many types of Cao Guan, it is difficult to distinguish clearly.
And in that booklet, there are many names written on them.
There are the Cui family, the Lu family, and the Zheng family...... Most of the names are unknown to Yanqing. But Zheng Shanyuan's three words surprised Yan Qing. Isn't this Zheng Shanyuan's son Zheng Yi, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang?
During the battle between the princes, he was on the wrong side.
But Emperor Wen of Sui did not blame him, but gave his two brothers knighthoods.
Why is there another thing about Zheng Shanyuan this time?
This guy doesn't seem to be able to stand in line, but he's on the wrong side again!
"Yanqing, what should I do now?"
Looking at the mess all over the house, as well as the bloody body, and the blood and water everywhere, Duoduo began to panic.
It was originally just a probe, but it ended up causing deaths, which is by no means a trivial matter.
How does it end?
Rao is Duoduo is smart and quick-witted, and he doesn't know what to do.
Actually, Yan Qing is also thinking about this matter.
If he just got the roster, he would have a lot of ways to deal with it, and he wouldn't throw himself on the stage and face the wind and rain. But now that there is a dead person, and it has been determined that the dead person is the person of Yang Liang, the king of Han, things will not be easy to handle.
Now that Wang Jingwen is outside, when he comes back and finds out the situation here, he will react immediately.
When he runs back to Taiyuan, even if he has a roster, it will be useless...... The top priority is to control Wang Jingwen and Zheng Chang. But in this way, he may be pushed to the cusp, which is not what he wants.
After weighing it for a long time, Yan Qingyi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
If he is implicated, with Zheng Shi'an here, he will have a lot less trouble.
But if Duoduo is also implicated, her mother and daughter are incognito, and they may face danger to their lives.
In this world, I don't have any friends.
Duoduo is the only one! No matter what her purpose was, she taught herself the dragon descending skill, but after a few years, this feeling could not be erased. Yes, I can't let Xu Ma and them get involved, it's amazing to take care of everything.
"Duoduo, you hurry back and act as if nothing happened."
"Huh?"
"I have my own way of solving this matter."
Zheng Yanqing smiled and said softly: "It's not just killing someone, it's nothing, I believe the master won't blame." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, don't talk back to me, go back obediently."
Unconsciously, Yan Qing used a commanding tone. As he commanded, he picked up the green-beaded dagger from the ground and stuffed it into Duoduo's hand. Although Zheng Yanqing was a few years younger than Duo Duo, once he became serious, Duo Duo actually gave birth to an invisible fear. Not daring to say anything more, he nodded and sneaked out of the room.
Yan Qing took two deep breaths to calm himself down.
He picked up the small horizontal knife, stepped forward, and slashed Pei An's corpse a few times.
Then he took the card and the roster, turned and walked out of the room.
At this time, An Yuantang was in a commotion.
A rare opportunity for everyone to get together and have a drink.
Zheng Dashi also seemed to be very happy, sitting on the main seat of the middle hall, pushing cups and exchanging lamps with the clansmen. Zheng Chang was under him, and Wang Jingwen was sitting behind Zheng Chang, looking very relaxed. Zheng Dashi's face was flushed, and he was in the mood for wine.
Zheng Shi'an hurriedly walked in from outside and walked quickly to Zheng Dashi's side.
He looked nervous and whispered in Master Zheng's ear.
Master Zheng smiled at first, but his face suddenly changed, and he nodded slightly.
"Shi'an, go and arrange it."
"It's all arranged."
Only then did Zheng Dashi stand up and said loudly: "Relatives and friends, something happened in the house temporarily, and the old man was absent for a while.
Oh, Zheng Chang, you're about to take over the affairs of the family, so come with me. ”
Zheng Changzheng was very drunk, and he was a little unhappy when he heard it.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's Renji who sent someone from Chang'an, and there is something important to discuss."
When Zheng Chang heard this, he also knew that he couldn't refuse, so he stood up.
"Lao Wang, come with me."
As Zheng Chang's confidant, Wang Jingwen accompanied him to give advice, which is reasonable. Zheng Dashi frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied. But he didn't stop it, took Zheng Shi'an, and walked out of the middle hall. Zheng Chang and Wang Jingwen followed closely behind.
The group crossed the mezzanine and soon came to the backyard.
From a distance, I saw Zheng Yanqing with his head down, kneeling at the foot of the back hall, with blood stains on his body, looking very embarrassed.
"Brother, what's wrong with Yanqing?"
"Nothing, just a mistake...... Sometimes, it's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to make mistakes and not know it. ”
Zheng Dashi didn't look at Zheng Yanqing, and walked into the back hall.
Zheng Chang was puzzled and a little puzzled, what did Zheng Dashi mean by what he said just now?
On the contrary, it was Wang Jingwen, who felt a little abnormal.
So he looked behind him, but found that Zheng Shi'an was following behind with someone, and he had blocked his retreat.
When I entered the back hall, I saw a naked corpse on the ground.
Zheng Chang didn't recognize the naked corpse at first, but felt a little strange. It's no wonder that Pei An's body was cut beyond recognition by Zheng Yanqing and Duoduo, it would be better if there were clothes on the body, but now ...... Zheng Chang didn't recognize it, and Wang Jingwen faintly sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't recognize the corpse, which was Pei An.
"Brother, do you recognize this corpse?"
Master Zheng sat down, looked at Zheng Chang, and asked with a smile.
Zheng Shi'an led two rows of warriors from the clan into the back hall and lined up on both sides.
Zheng Chang's wine has woken up! I also noticed that the atmosphere was a little weird.
However, he still pretended to be indifferent, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know, didn't the eldest brother say that Renji sent someone back, what's going on with this corpse?" ”
"Alas......"
Zheng Dashi sighed, ignored Zheng Chang no longer, and his eyes fell on Wang Jingwen's body, "My brother, usually looks stupid and stupid, but when it comes to critical times, he is always confused. He doesn't recognize you, what about you? Can you recognize it? Mr. Wang Jingwen...... Oh, no, maybe it's right to call your Excellency Wang Fei, isn't it Mr. Wang Fei? ”
Wang Jingwen's face suddenly became ugly.
"Your Excellency is not from Yangzhou, although you have a Yangzhou accent, but it must be because you were born in Yangzhou.
After Wang Sengbi was killed by Chen Baxian that year, Wang Sengbi's descendants were picked up by the Taiyuan Wang clan.
Hehe, Wang Shengbi has two sons, the second son Wang Fei was once a doctor of Guozi, and later was assigned to Lingnan for some reason, and there was no news again. But I know that Wang Cheng later became the advisor of the King of Han to join the army, and was relied on by the King of Han as a wise man, and he obeyed his words. I'm just wondering, a little housekeeper can actually go in and out of the Guanshui Pavilion and have a good time with Cui Jingmao?
Later, when I inquired, I learned that the housekeeper my brother brought back turned out to be the famous Mr. Naturalist, disrespectful, really disrespectful! ”
Wang Fei, the second son of Wang Shengbian, is a good ranger, after the age of 20, he studied literature, recited the Five Classics, liked to read the doctrine of Zhuzi, and preferred all kinds of wild history miscellaneous records. Therefore, the people of the time are called Mr. Naturalist, which is from this.
Wang Jun calmed down and stopped panicking.
"Zheng, since everyone has inquired about my details clearly, they have already made a choice.
I thought that with the second master as a cover, everyone Zheng would not pay attention to me, but I didn't expect ...... Then this corpse is Lao Pei. ”
Zheng Dashi threw his waist card on the ground, "And Zhou Cao Pei? ”
"This is me and the state governor's office soldier Cao Pei Wen'an." Wang Fei is very single, he answers all questions, and he does not drag his feet.
Master Zheng sighed, "Mr. Wang, do you think that the crown prince will not be aware of what the King of Han has done?" Although the Duke of Yue Guo is not in charge of political affairs, every move of the King of Han is under his control. At the beginning of the year, the king of Han requested that soldiers and horses be recruited in Taiyuan, but the Duke of Yue did not refute it. It's not that he doesn't know, it's because he already has a countermeasure. ”
Yue Guogong refers to Yang Su.
At the beginning of the year, Yang Su was said to be suspected of being a specialist, so that Emperor Wen of Sui gradually distanced himself from him and even reduced his rights. But Yang Su didn't care, and he didn't mean to be dissatisfied. But in private, he and the crown prince became closer.
Wang Fei has always been pretentious, but he doesn't want to face Yang Su, and he is powerless to resist at all.
He smiled bitterly, "Wen An is dead, I think that everyone Zheng has already paid tribute to Yue Guogong, but I don't know what to do with me?" ”
"Don't worry, Yue Guogong doesn't want you to die."
Zheng Dashi ignored Zheng Chang at all, and said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, Yue Guogong still attaches great importance to Mr. and knows that Mr. is talented, so let me deal with it as appropriate." Mr. Wang, I have a good relationship with Brother Ling, so I don't embarrass you. It's just that since you're already here, it's unlikely that you want to leave. My brother's family is still in Taiyuan, and I have to think about him...... Well, you stay, and when nothing happened, how? ”
"You want me ......"
"Hehe, you know, I know, the people in this hall are all my cronies, and you don't have to worry about leaking the news.
Externally, the second brother still presides over the affairs of An Yuantang. As for you, just write a letter back every once in a while, and you'll be fine. ”
Wang Fei's cheeks twitched, and he was silent.
Of course, he knew what Zheng Dashi meant: anti-plotting!
"Mr. Wang, you have to be clear about one thing.
If I don't help you suppress this matter, how can the Duke of Yue play the imperial court, with the temper of a saint, how can he tolerate this kind of tandem behavior of the King of Han? However, the saint will not ask for the name of King Han, after all, he is his own flesh and blood. But Mr. Wang, you, as well as your brother, and your clansmen, including the entire Taiyuan Wang family, are afraid that they will be affected by the pond fish and suffer unjustified disasters. ”
Zheng Dashi spoke tepidly, but Wang Hao was drenched in a cold sweat.
After a while, he suddenly sighed, "Since everyone Zheng loves Wang so much, Wang dares to disobey his fate?" ”
The children of the family are most afraid of bringing disaster to the family.
As long as there is a family, he has a chance; But if, as Zheng Dashi said, all the clansmen involved will not have a chance to make a comeback. After all, although the Wang family is not small, it has declined, and it is not comparable to the strength of the Zheng family.
Zheng Dashi smiled slightly, and said to Zheng Shi'an: "Shi'an, take Mr. Wang down, settle it well, don't be lazy." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Zheng Chang to stand up.
"Sit by, don't speak.
From now on, you'll be able to chat with me and have a drink. Nominally, you're still in charge of the family's affairs, but you can't get anything to say. Later, I will try to bring my younger siblings and little nephew over and reunite you. ”
Zheng Dashi was not kind to Zheng Chang, and his tone was even a little cold.
How dare Zheng Chang be a little dissatisfied, he sat down on the side, and no longer had the high-spirited expression he had before.
"Let Yanqing come in."
Zheng Dashi flipped through the two pages of the roster, shook his head helplessly, and finally smiled bitterly and ordered his subordinates to let Zheng Yanqing in.
This child, although he is reckless, is dedicated to the Zheng family, but he is a talent that can be created.
