Chapter 282: A Wonderful Cooperation
When the iron pillar came back the next day, the god said mysteriously: "All of them have fallen, and they are all vomiting and diarrhea, only heavier than you, not lighter than you." ”
"Oh......" Shen Mo said as he lay on the bed, "Is his life in danger?" ”
"I don't know." Tie Zhu said inaccurately: "The croton powder I prepared should not be fatal, but it depends on how much they eat." ”
"I can't care so much." Silently shook his head weakly and said: "If you can delay it for a day, that old master is not a person who can't distinguish priorities, seeing that things are out of control, he naturally has to retreat from the difficulties......"
It is not certain whether he will retreat in the face of difficulties, but now Zhao Zhenji is angry. When he came back from outside the city, he saw many people standing far away, pointing to the alley.
Listening to Wang Yongji's cautious report: "My lord, my subordinates have already found another place, let's go live elsewhere." ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhenji was puzzled: "What happened?" ”
"That small inn has become a pit, it stinks, I can't get in, I vomit ......" Even when it comes to it, Lord Wang, who has always loved cleanliness, is still retching for a while.
Zhao Zhenji's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, got off the carriage, and fought at the mouth of the alley, then he asked a foul smell, and couldn't help but say with a black face: "Who did this?" Who would dare to dump the dung truck on the old man's line? ”
"It's not a dung truck," Wang said, pinching his nose, "It's the adults inside......
"How can this be reasonable, is it true that the officials in Zhejiang are all dung bags?" Zhao Zhenji said angrily: "What's the matter!" ”
"Last night, somehow, the No. 30 official who temporarily lived in the small inn had a stomach trouble together," Wang Yongji thought of the scene of and urine, and said with palpitations: "It's one after another, endlessly, but the pit is limited, the queue can't be on, and then there is no time to even walk to the thatched house...... After a whole night, it became what it is now. ”
"What did you give them?" Zhao Zhenji asked with eyes like copper bells.
"Yesterday there was no food and drink in the inn," Wang Yongji shook his head and said, "Your Excellency only ate one meal of the banquet that was called." ”
"Who's calling it?" Zhao Zhenji asked through gritted teeth.
"Shen Xun pressed." Wang Yongji whispered, and hurriedly cleared up for Shen Mo: "But he just paid for your guards to buy it on his behalf, and he didn't say what to buy or where to buy it...... And he was already sick. ”
"Who's going to buy it?" Zhao Zhenji turned his head and stared at the guards on the side like a cannibal, and said, "Stand up for me!" ”
Then three guards cowered, knelt down and said, "Your Excellency...... It's the three of us ......."
"You guys, you ......" Zhao Zhenji trembled with anger: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"We don't know...... the guards said with a look of ignorance, "I just went out and found a random restaurant, bought three tables of banquets, and then came back......"
Before I could figure out the clue here, there was a loud gong sound on the other side of the street, which showed that a big official was about to come, and the people in the provincial capital were still conscious, so they quickly got out of the way, so as not to block the passage of adults.
Sure enough, after a while, a team of honor guards escorted an eight-lift sedan chair and hurried from a distance. As soon as the sedan chair stopped in front of Zhao Zhenji, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, came down with a dark face, glanced at Zhao Zhenji coldly, and walked towards the mouth of the alley, as if he did not smell the stench that rushed to the sky.
Zhao Zhenji's guards wanted to stop him, but they were caught by the governor's own soldiers and threatened viciously: "Don't move!" When the guards on the perimeter heard the shouts and knew that something was going on here, they rushed in with firearms and crossbows, aiming at the people of the governor's yamen, and shouted: "Don't move!" ”
Looking at the muzzles of those black holes and the bright crossbow arrows, Hu Zongxian sneered and said softly to the soldiers he brought: "Take off your shirt." ”
His own soldiers didn't say a word, and tore off the armor and the gown inside, revealing the upper body of **.
I only heard the sound of gasping cold air in the field, and I saw that the muscular male body was impressively engraved with scars, including gunshot wounds, sword wounds, knife wounds, arrow wounds, and some injuries were burned by fire.
Hu Zongxian pointed at them and said lightly: "I have one condition for choosing my own soldiers, which is that after at least nine major battles, I have been wounded at least nine times, and I can't count the scars on my back. They were all fighting against the Japanese and meeting the requirements of their own officials...... Oh no, the vast majority are far exceeded. As he spoke, he leaned sideways and said, "The bloody battle with the Japanese did not let them die, now let you complete what the Japanese have not done!" ”
The crowd was overwhelmed, and the people were angry: "Put it down, what right do you have to raise your gun at them?" ”
The guards did not dare to look directly at those dazzling scars, and pointed the tips of their guns and arrows to the ground, and they had already paid attention to their hearts, even if they disobeyed the order, they must not use this force. They also secretly glanced at the minister, only to see Zhao Zhenji's face was pale, and he didn't say a word, obviously acquiescing to Hu Zongxian's request...... The guards who were blocking the alley came out one after another and got out of the way.
Everyone watched Hu Zongxian lead people in.
Not long after entering, he heard Hu Zongxian's terrible roar, which frightened the people outside. After a while, he saw Hu Zhongcheng's eyes burst out, and his eyes roared with fire: "Zhao Zhenji, why are you abusing my Zhejiang officials so much?" Looking at the lively people, I saw Hu Zongxian's personal soldiers, who put out officials who were full of stench and couldn't even walk on the road.
What kind of torture do you have to endure to make these old men incontinent? The people were completely furious, they approached Zhao Zhenji's surroundings, glared angrily at this brutal villain, and I don't know who was the first to take the lead, so they shouted together: "Get out of Zhejiang!" ”
The guards tried desperately to keep the crowd out, but they were crumbling by the impact of the angry crowd, and the captain of the guard said anxiously, "My lord, we must get out of here." ”
Zhao Zhenji was unmoved, looking at Hu Zongxian as usual and said: "Before the matter is clear, please don't spray people with blood, this official swears by the honor of his ancestors, first, he has never tortured them, and second, he has never abused them, as for why it is like this, I suggest that the two of us jointly investigate, and when the truth comes out, it is not too late to investigate who is right and who is wrong." "It is worthy of being experienced in the sea for a long time, that is, he can speak, and his words have reduced the anger of the people a lot.
But Hu Zongxian was unhappy, he couldn't imagine that this guy was really like a stone in his pores, smelly, hard, and so difficult, so he said with a dark face: "This matter must be vigorously investigated, but now the official can't take care of it, let your people get out of the way, I will take my subordinates back for treatment." ”
Zhao Zhenji said: "It's the same to invite the doctor. ”
"In a place like this?" Hu Zongxian was angry again: "Let me tell you, although they are not soldiers who go into battle, but in order to ensure the logistics of the front line, they have done their best, and they are all great heroes!" How can you be so free to ravage and treat you as an enemy? As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the north and said, "This official inevitably wants to join you in abusing heroes and extorting confessions by torture, wait!" ”
took the rescued subordinate officers and left angrily.
Looking at the departing cadres, Zhao Zhenji found that he was completely in a passive situation, not only was the official who was preparing for questioning rescued, but also morally at a great disadvantage. He bets that from now on, no matter what he asks, Hu Zongxian will show a 'disagreeable' appearance and will resolutely not cooperate with him. Anyway, before dividing the winner from the emperor's recital, I don't want to get anything useful from him.
Zhao Zhenji couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Hu Zongxian's unsparing hand easily resolved his own crisis, and he also splashed me with dirt by the way, which shows that this person is not only unscrupulous, but also really difficult to deal with. But he will not forget his motto, the stronger the enemy, the more it will arouse Cho Jung-gil's will to fight, and in his world, there is either complete victory or total defeat, but there is never a concept of 'compromise'...... Moreover, he is not fighting alone, and he has a group of friends with great powers, who may provide the Achilles' heel of his opponent at any time. He knew that what he had to do now was to continue to investigate this case, and if he persisted, there would be a way.
Well, since this road is not going to work for the time being, then I will change it, and sooner or later I will end up in the same way. After standing in the cold wind for half an hour, Zhao Zhenji made up his mind, and then instructed Wang Yongji: "Runlian, please trouble you...... Go back to Suzhou again, ask Cao Zhongcheng to hand over those prisoners, and I will interrogate them carefully. ”
Although Wang Yongji was very unaccustomed to Zhao Butang being so polite, he was still greatly relieved when he heard him say that he was finally going to try the widows, and said in his heart: "It's long overdue to get back on track, what's the matter with always making a fuss about Hu Zhongcheng?" And he took the commandment solemnly.
