279 Night into the county office
Zhang Xin didn't see Song Hao turn around for a long time, and he thought that the Yuan Clan's Courtyard must be a big deal, and his mood became restless for a while.
He paced around the house a few times, and finally simply gathered the soldiers in the county office, and prepared to go to the scene to see it in person; was in a hurry, but heard that Song Hao's personal guards had returned with the wounded.
"What is this Song Hao doing, he didn't come back to report the situation at the scene, but sent people here first." Zhang Xin was slandered, but he still quickened his pace and walked towards the door.
Zhang Guoli saw Zhang Xin walking out expressionlessly, and then stepped forward to salute, "Master"
"How can you be with them, shouldn't you accompany Mo'er on the way back to the Eastern Capital at this time?" When Zhang Xin heard Zhang Guoli's greeting, his eyes immediately turned to his face, and he was stunned for a long time before he remembered to ask him.
"It's Childe who is lying on it." Zhang Guoli said this in a low voice, eager to find a hole to drill into, at this time he really didn't know how to face Zhang Xin.
"Mo'er?" Zhang Xin grabbed to the stretcher in three steps and two steps, bent down and called out in a low voice, and then brushed Zhang Mo's face covered by messy hair with his hand; He seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, because Zhang Mo had never been a good master, but it was still a little difficult for him to accept that his son was carried back on a stretcher.
Zhang Mo listened to his father's somewhat panicked call, and he couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so he had to respond helplessly, "Father, it's the child who is incompetent." ”
Zhang Mo's words, Zhang Xin had probably guessed the ins and outs, so he quickly ordered a few soldiers to carry his son to his room, and called a few subordinates to serve him well and sleep, and then the old god walked out of the outer room on the ground.
Seeing that Zhang Guoli was still sitting on his knees at this time, Zhang Xin was really angry, and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Zhang Guoli couldn't, so he had to tell him what had happened in the past half of the day.
It turned out that Zhang Mo was a little depressed after leaving the county office, and he always felt that Su You was an obstacle to their Zhang's boat line; If Su You doesn't get rid of it, some of the shady deeds of the boat company in the Jiangnan area will eventually surface because of him.
Zhang Mo was having dinner in the inn and tried to find a way to solve Su You at night, but he happened to meet Yuan Shangliu, who was also from the Eastern Capital.
Why Yuan Shangliu came, Zhang Mo naturally tacitly agreed, because the Yuan Shangliu family's boat company did the same unsightly business as the Zhang family's boat company, they just chatted a few words on the side, and quickly reached a consensus - Su You must die!
After the two hit it off, they planned tonight's assassination at the dinner table.
"Stupid! Since a consensus has been reached, why is it my son who contributes to the work? When Zhang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, the key is that the arrow in Zhang Mo's knee was too badly injured, even if this injury was healed, it would be difficult for him to walk with this foot.
Zhang Guoli said with some embarrassment, "Actually, there are two steps arranged for this assassination, originally what Gongzi had to do was just to explore the way, and the main force to assassinate Su You was the more than ten crossbowmen of the Yuan family; But Su You also had shit luck at that time, and he actually splashed the footwashing water on Gongzi twice, and he was angry, so he stepped forward"
Drunk two foot washes? Zhang Xin was immediately choked, how against the sky is this Su You's luck? But isn't there a saying that no matter how powerful the means are, they can't do the luck against the sky? Why is Zhang Mo so self-defeating?
"You also know that Su You's wife is the daughter of Lai Hu'er, and when the son misses the blow, she quickly rushes out; Childe originally expected this, he had already arranged a qiē to retreat with his whole body, but he still didn't count that there was a marksman by Su You's side. After Gongzi was hit by the arrow, he ran back to the Yuan Clan's Courtyard, and Su You was also able to think of using a wolf dog to track the smell, and he quickly chased after him. ”
"If I were assassinated by an assassin like Mo'er, would I have survived?" Zhang Xin listened carefully to Zhang Guoli's recollection of what happened, thinking about himself for a while, and worrying about the son in the story for a while, he couldn't help asking, "Su You chased him to the other courtyard but didn't catch Mo'er, it must be the Yuan family's children who did something." ”
Zhang Guoli said with a somewhat ugly face, "At that time, Gongzi and I had been arranged in the basement by him, according to him, he actually dispatched more than a dozen crossbowmen for Gongzi, and those crossbowmen were originally used to assassinate Su You. ”
"A dozen crossbowmen were dispatched? And then what? Su You showed weakness and retreated? Zhang Xin couldn't believe his ears, should he praise Yuan Shangliu for his righteousness in order to cover his son? Or should he be scolded for his stupidity in dispatching more than a dozen crossbowmen and finding nothing?
Does he not know the truth of his sin?
Now that those crossbowmen have appeared, can they still be used to assassinate Su You? Besides, Su You won't be thinking about those people?
Zhang Guoli nodded and continued, "Su You didn't have enough time to leave a stick of incense, and the third prince of Yuan was killed."
Zhang Xin couldn't believe his words, and asked, "Killed?" What did Su You do? ”
"We don't know what the specific situation is, but I checked carefully, including Yuan San Gongzi and his more than ten crossbowmen, their fatal injuries are all sharp arrows." Zhang Guoli shook his head, although he was in the game, but for him, everything that happened at the scene at that time was a mystery.
"The third prince of Yuan and more than a dozen crossbowmen are all dead?" Zhang Xin was stunned again, this news was even more jaw-dropping than Zhang Mo would spend the lower half of his body as a disabled person from now on.
What does Yuan Shangliu's death mean? -- It means Yuan's anger, and it may also mean that Zhang Xin's future is bleak.
Zhang Guoli nodded and added, "If the person who killed the third prince of Yuan and more than a dozen crossbowmen was really sent by Su You, Su You would be really terrifying!" ”
"Terrifying!" Zhang Xinxin muttered these four words, then stood up firmly, and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to the scene to have a look." ”
Zhang Guoli stood up as a matter of course and trotted open the door.
Zhang Xin was about to step out of the door, but he saw a servant rushing towards him and shouted, "Report"
"How?" Zhang Xin retracted one foot that he had stepped out of, and asked with some displeasure and some expectation.
The official replied breathlessly, "Captain Song is back."
Zhang Xin shook his head and said angrily and funny, "Come back, come back, what's strange?" Open the door and let him in. ”
The official also shook his head, and after a pause, he continued, "There is also a large group of people around him, led by those wearing purple robes, as if it is Su Yushi, who you only saw at noon today. ”
"Su You is here? Is this the rhythm of a thief shouting to catch a thief? Zhang Xin was slandered, but he still waved his hand to the official and said, "Open the main gate, and the rest of the people will go to the door with the county to greet you." ”
Su You scolded Sang in the Yuan's Courtyard, and it was not impossible to say that he was here to cause trouble for Song Hao, who was investigating the case; But Song Hao was humble and light in front of Su You, and he was reluctant in his heart, but he could only let Su You get through the dry addiction of his tongue.
In the end, Song Hao no longer had the heart to investigate the case, so he had to use Zhang Xin as a blockade, saying that he would go back to the county government to ask Zhang Xin for advice on how to deal with it; Su You nodded his head rarely, and said that he would come to the county office with him.
Song Hao knew that it was wrong, but he was helpless, so he had to accompany him all the way and carefully follow Su to the county office of Pengcheng County.
Su You was arguing with Song Hao, but when he saw that the door of the county government was wide open, and Zhang Xin came out with a group of officials, he laughed a little exaggeratedly, "Zhang Yuanjun? Haha, I knew that Zhang Yuanjun wouldn't be able to sleep at such a time. ”
Zhang Xin looked at Su You's weakness and grievances to himself, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and say in a deep voice, "Human life is at stake, and as their parents and officials, where do you dare to sleep at this time?" Did Su Yushi just come from the Yuan Clan's Courtyard? It's really hard work. Su Yushi, please"
Song Hao also made eye contact with Zhang Xin at this time, and then also made a gesture for Su You to go first.
Su You didn't care about the gestures of the two of them, and said with some embarrassment on his face, "Before I entered this door, I suddenly thought of a question."
Zhang Xin saw that Su You didn't move, so he had to slowly put down his hand, and when he heard him say that there was a problem, he didn't continue for a long time, so he had to echo and ask, "I don't know what Su Yushi thought?" ”
"Actually, this question was asked to me an hour ago, and what he asked at the time was, 'What identity did you use to enter my courtyard?' I replied, 'The bitter lord of this case.'" Can Zhang Zhijun understand what I mean? ”
Because of Zhang Guoli's confession just now, Zhang Xin naturally knew what Su You meant at the moment, but he could only pretend to be confused, and then shook his head with a shameful face.
Su You saw Zhang Xin shaking his head pitifully, but his heart softened, and he immediately raised his foot and took the first step.
Zhang Xin and Song Hao couldn't imagine that Su You stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, but he was finally willing to enter the county office, which still made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
It's really hard for the people up there to wait.
Su You followed Zhang Xin into the living room, and when Uncle Wang wanted to follow Lu Sheng and Xia Ziwei's brothers and sisters, Su You waved his hand, leaving only Yanbei and Lu Zhongsu by his side.
Zhang Xin naturally drank the helpless people one by one.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Su You picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then sighed, "Zhang Junshou, Zhang Junshou, your Pengcheng County is full of potential safety hazards; This official has only been in Pengcheng for two days, and on this day he was burned on the official ship, and he was assassinated the next day."
"Xiaguan Xiaguan" Zhang Xin listened to Su You's heart-wrenching words, and quickly stood up, wanting to justify a few words, but choked up.
