Time passed, and the time spent waiting was the most tormenting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The morning sun was shining golden from the clouds, and the temperature was not high enough to dry the frost on the leaves of the wilted weeds quickly.
The biting cold made many old men and old ladies who couldn't stand this weather one by one nested at home around the stove.
This is also in the year of Hongzhi, if it is in the year of Chenghua, I don't know how many people will freeze to death on the side of the road.
A fast horse galloped past on the official road, and the rider on the horseback still had frost on his beard, his eyes were a little blank, and his chest rose and fell violently, and he knew at a glance that he was on the road overnight.
It is a great loss to travel overnight in such weather. Some people with good lives can get seriously ill after successfully sending a letter, and those with a bad life may die if they send a letter.
The war horse under the crotch was still changed at the previous post station, and the post man who was woken up was still reluctant and scolded at first. After seeing the sign in the rider's hand, he ran to lead the horse with a cold sweat on his back.
Hangzhou City was in front of him, and the rider's hand wielding the whip couldn't help but add a little more force.
Galloping for hundreds of miles, he still set off overnight, and his strong body was a little unbearable.
What he wants most now is to arrive in Hangzhou City as soon as possible, either to let the sun dispel the haze on his body, or to get into the warm quilt and sleep well.
Of course, if there is an extra delicate little lady in the bed, he doesn't care at all.
"What people!" The trip was not destined to be peaceful, and the rider's horse was stopped at the city gates.
"I am a messenger of the Duke of Wei, and I have urgent matters to meet the Duke of Guo, and I also ask a few brothers to make it convenient." The rider did not look arrogant, but he did not dismount in a hurry.
A few guards of the city naturally did not dare to block the road to the errand, and a few people bowed down humbly and let them pass.
In the prefect's yamen, he played chess with the master every day, and the master who lost the chess occasionally had some children's hearts to pity Zhang Ru, who was already a prince of the country.
Life is comfortable, but Zhang Ru, who has something on his mind, can't let go so much for the time being.
Cui Keji also knows this, and changes his methods every day to make him happy.
"Report! Grandpa, there is a messenger from Nanjing asking to see you. "It's still the same Soaring Cloud Rider who greeted Cui Keji.
Zhang Ru, who was undecided with a white chess piece in his hand, heard this, and threw the chess pieces on the chessboard at random: "Let him in." ā
Cui Keji was staring at the chessboard, and after a while, he suddenly found that the location where this white man fell was just the key place, and he was slaughtered by a big dragon.
The Courier was tired, but the mission was not complete, and he could not rest for the time being.
Don't underestimate these messengers, ordinary people are not qualified to act as messengers. Only the most elite men in the army are qualified to serve as messengers.
Peacetime may not necessarily reflect the value of these messengers, but when it is a war age, a good messenger can lead the success or failure of a war.
Fortunately, the person who rode the clouds was relatively humane, seeing that his face was blue and his lips were pale, someone soon sent a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
As soon as I finished drinking, someone came out.
The messenger who successfully entered the prefect's yamen, the messenger with a little more warm current in his body did not relax, he didn't know what his grandfather wrote on the letter, he only knew that if he didn't succeed this time, he might die.
"I've seen my grandfather in humility." As soon as the messenger came up, he saluted Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru said bluntly: "Brother Xu asked you to send a letter?" What about faith? ā
At this time, what he cared about was not the attitude of the messenger, but the attitude of Xu Li in the letter.
The messenger didn't say a word, and directly handed the letter from his arms, which was already a little wrinkled but with good fire paint, to Zhang Ru's hands.
Zhang Ru hurriedly tore open the cover, unfolded the letter and began to look.
"Brother Wenxuanxian, see the letter as well!
The elder brother was ashamed to learn that the incident in Hangzhou was actually done by the rebel son in the family, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the elder brother had to write a letter to Wenxuan to explain one or two.
What Huaiyuan did, my brother didn't know anything.
One of the things was Xu Liang's pouting, and now the two and their henchmen have been arrested, and the elder brother has ordered Jin Lingwei to lead people to escort them to Hangzhou.
Within three days, Wen Xuan could see the sincerity of his brother.
Wen Xuan's family members are all fine in the house, and they forgive the old brother for not telling them the truth.
The old brother retracted the words that made you let Huaiyuan live, the evidence is conclusive, as long as he signs and draws the charge, if he wants to kill or chop, Wen Xuan, you have the final say.
When Hangzhou is over, you and my brothers will drink and talk happily. ā
That's all there is to the letter.
Xu Li wrote to Zhang Ru just to explain, and he also retracted that sentence.
This intention made Zhang Ru feel very surprised.
Seeing him stunned on the spot, the messenger was nervous for a while, thinking that it couldn't be that the grandfather said something in the letter that he couldn't say!
Now that he is here, even if Xu Li says something, he can only bear Zhang Ru's anger.
Cui Keji also saw the contents of the letter, and immediately ordered Biao Yunqi to let them leave with the messenger first, until the messenger's actions woke up Zhang Ru, he nodded slightly.
Zhang Ru did not stop the messenger from leaving, but put the letter on the stone table: "Master, what does this Xu Li mean?" ā
Cui Keji teased: "Wen Xuan, Master is really old now, you can actually call Nanjing Wei Guogong a brother and brother, Master didn't have this ability at your age." ā
Zhang Ru said with a bitter face: "My good master, when has this happened, why do you still have the heart to make jokes about apprentices." ā
Cui Keji said: "The content of the letter is clear, this matter of Hangzhou Mansion will soon have an ending." Now that Xu Li has arrested Xu Liang and Xu Huaiyuan, then you only need to act in accordance with the law of Da Ming.
As for Xu Li's deliberate retraction in the letter, it is nothing more than to let you see that he is so cooperative to leave a way for his son to live.
He doesn't care if his son is crippled or stupid, he just wants his son to be alive. ā
Master's words made Zhang Rumao pause.
He was ecstatic and said, "What a cunning Xu Li, who is as cunning as a fox, actually played this trick with me." Master, that Xu Huaiyuan, should I let go of the horse, or not? ā
Cui Keji said indifferently: "It depends on your own thoughts, if you want to put it, it doesn't hurt to let it go, without Xu Liang, Xu Huaiyuan is a toothless tiger." If you don't want to let it go and kill Xu Huaiyuan, Xu Li won't say anything on the surface. ā
Considering the relationship with the Duke of Wei, Zhang Ru still decided to let Xu Huaiyuan go.
After all, even if he doesn't handle cases on the ground in Jiangnan in the future, those people under him will always need the cooperation of the Wei State Mansion. (To be continued.) )
