Chapter 39: Calculating the King's Family (2)
Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves was like a chorus, and when the scattered servants saw that the 'enemy' was rushing towards His Highness, they immediately gathered together again, and shouted anxiously and loudly, telling them to run quickly.
"Jumping ......"
Sima Shu ran a few steps, and suddenly shouted to Sima Xin beside him, Sima Xin could already feel the heat from the horse's nose, and knew that he was about to be overtaken, and when he heard the shout, he subconsciously jumped up with him, and he suddenly saw the net they had laid to catch rabbits looming in the wild grass in front of him.
The moment Sima Shu and the two jumped over the net, they heard a 'poof' sound behind them, a man rolled and crawled and fell under his feet, and a horse was entangled in the net and his legs and feet were lying on the side, and the wail of 'Boom' was '......Boom'.
The second son of the Wang family felt that he was about to catch the kid in front of him immediately, but suddenly he stumbled and threw himself off, and he just lifted off the big gun covering his head before he could figure out what was going on, he felt a cold neck, and a dagger with a cold light was already across his neck.
"What are you going to do, I'm the second son of the Wang family, my father is the master of the new city, you dare to hurt me!" The second son of the Wang family shouted angrily when he saw the knife around his neck.
"Hehe, my father is still the emperor, what if you kill you!" Sima Shu was not only not afraid, but also teased the other party with a hippie smile.
"Hurry up and let go of my young master, otherwise you will be beheaded all over the house!"
The Zhuang Ke who followed up behind saw that the young master was about to succeed, but suddenly the man turned on his back and turned over, which made people stop, and the leading Zhuang Ke was startled and turned over and dismounted, and aimed at Sima Shu with a bow and arrow.
"Hee-hee, do you want to try it? See if your arrows are fast, or my knives are fast. Maybe you shot me, but my knife hasn't cut your young master's neck yet! ”
The two were only a few meters apart, and Sima Shu was really not sure that he had killed this kid before the arrow hit him, but his face remained unchanged, and he gambled that the bankers would not dare to take this risk.
"Put down the bow quickly, you want to kill this son!"
Before Zhuang Ke could speak, the second son of the Wang family shouted, he felt that the blade had touched his skin, and the chrysanthemum tightened, and he suddenly felt a strong urge to urinate.
"Quickly release our young master, our master is a local official, otherwise you will be destroyed with a word!" The dealer lowered his bow, but continued to threaten.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly a group of people in the distance hurriedly ran over to this side, dragging guns and sticks one by one, and the people on both sides were nervous, not knowing whose reinforcements were coming.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid, we're here!" The people running in front shouted loudly, and Sima Shu was relieved when he heard it, it was the guards in the palace who came.
"Temple...... Temple...... Your Highness, you ...... You won't be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will you? ”
At this time, even a fool knows that the situation is wrong, the second son of the Wang family is dumbfounded, the prince originally saw that their family was not pleasing to the eye, and he was stupid to hit the muzzle, this is not the old birthday star hanging - is it a long life?
"Your Highness, the ministers are too late to save you, please atone for your sins!" Sima Ya ran a few steps and said in front.
"It's not too late, it's just a few sticks, go, arrest those assassins in this palace, dare to attack the prince of this dynasty in broad daylight, just look at them impatiently!"
Seeing that his people had arrived, Sima Shu kicked the prisoner on the ground and ordered. The guards who arrived immediately surrounded the four villagers and beat them down.
"Your Highness, we were wrong, you spare us!" The second son of the Wang family lay on the ground for a long time, and when he saw that he was going to suffer, he snorted and said.
"Let you go? Hahaha, what reason did you find to clean up your royal family after letting go of your palace? Sima Ya, you lead people to take care of these assassins, and dare to resist and fight to the death! Saying that, Sima Shu led everyone back to Huangzhuang.
"Yes!" Sima Ya finished speaking and went out.
"Little Dengzi, you go and bring the court clothes of the palace and prepare the carriages and horses!" When he arrived at Huangzhuang, Sima Shu ordered Xiao Dengzi repeatedly.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Xiao Deng Zi was stunned, and he didn't know what kind of moth His Highness had produced.
"What? Do you think you took those assassins and kept them for fun? The palace wants to send them to the yamen and accuse them of murdering the crown prince! Sima Shu said with a deliberately straight face.
"The chief steward, find a good writer, let him write a complaint immediately, just say that the Wang family plotted to kill the prince and wanted to do wrong, and I want to see how the county magistrate will try this case!"
Arresting people here, writing the form, and waiting for everyone to return to the main hall after finishing their work, their eyes are bright, it is really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Sima Shu has changed into a 'formal suit', wearing a seven-beam forehead flower crown, wearing a golden python robe, a gold belt tied around the waist, a goldfish bag hanging on it, a white jade ring, a mink fur cloak, and a deerskin cloud toe boots, which is called a spirit.
"Your Highness, the sedan chair is ready, please move!" Xiao Dengzi also changed into 'work clothes' and bowed and shouted.
"Well, let's go!"
Sima Shu went out of the door, the outside was ready, he got on the sedan chair, the eight sedan chair men shouted together, the sedan chair of Hongni was raised steadily, the most idle in the house was them, this is the first time to use them, one by one, the spirit is full.
The team at the gate of the house has already stood still, just waiting for him, Sima Ya in front of him with six guards to open the way, Sima Shu's sedan chair followed, Xiao Dengzi held the sedan chair, with a few small yellow doors waiting, the chief steward and Xu Chao led a dozen guards to ride horses to accompany them, and finally the guards escorted a string of 'terrorists' who 'attacked' the prince, and the group was ready to sue the official.
As soon as Sima Shu's team went out, especially the Zhuang guests on the Wang family's Zhuangzi tied to the back, it caused a sensation in the countryside, and they didn't expect that a low-key prince would suddenly do such a 'big' thing. In the past, the Wang family was like heaven in the local countryside, but now they are dragged behind horses like dogs.
When I arrived at the county office, it was already a little late, and the county government had already closed. Seeing this situation, the little steward in Sima Shu's mansion stepped forward and slammed the door, as the saying goes, 'the foot of the car and ship shop, if you are not guilty, you should be killed'.
The officials did not have much salary, and they usually relied on bribes and extortion to get by, and the guards opened the door and asked impatiently: "What are you doing, is there such a knock on the door of the yamen?" ”
"We're going to sue!" The little steward is also 'lacking in morality', you just reported it, not only did he not say it, he was even more angry, not to mention giving money to the two of them, there was no one with a smiling face, and he said it hard.
"Get out, tomorrow!" The watchman was even more horizontal, and he closed the door with a 'bang', and no matter how he knocked, people didn't pay attention to him.
Sima Shu was still holding the sedan curtain and waiting to take over, but the door was not opened, leaving a large group of people on the street. Xiao Dengzi wanted to call the door, but he was afraid of losing his identity, so he jumped to his feet in anger, and Sima Shu rushed to Sima Yanunu on the side of the sedan chair and motioned him to call the door.
Sima Ya is not as gentle as the little steward, two steps up the steps to the door, the big fist smashed on the door, not to mention the door, the door frame is shaking, the movement is like more than a dozen big drums beating at the same time, not to mention hiding in the gatehouse, even the people in the back hall feel deafening.
"Open the door, if you don't open it again, I'll tear down the door!" Sima Ya smashed it a few times, and then yelled inside.
Sure enough, the effect came out immediately, and the gate was opened for them, and more than twenty officials poured out, and all the knives were drawn.
"Who is looking for death, dare to tear down the gate of the county government?" A squad leader shouted angrily, he was also angry, would ordinary people dare to slam the door like this!
"Go and call you adults out, our lord will come to the lawsuit!" Sima Ya probably also knew Sima Shu's thoughts, so he came up and pushed the team leader and said.
"Drink, you're very fat! It's time to go wild! ”
When the officials saw that they were beaten on the head, the two who had a good relationship waved their knives and cut them, but Sima Ya didn't let them cut them, grabbed their wrists, pinched them hard, and the knives fell to the ground.
There was such a big commotion at the entrance of the yamen, which immediately alarmed the people on the street, and a group of people gathered around Hulala to watch the excitement. The officials are used to it, and today they are beaten at the door of their house in front of everyone, and their faces are too big, and the officials are ruthless, and they want to get their faces back, otherwise they won't be able to mix here in the future.
But some people didn't let them get their wish, they just surrounded Sima Shu, and they heard someone shouting below: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, you dare to make a mistake, quickly ask your adults to come out and take over!" Xiao Dengzi saw Sima Shu's eyes and knew that the heat was almost over, so he immediately shouted in a sharp voice.
What do the officials do best? is to bully the soft and fear the hard, as soon as he hears the name reported, he knows that he can't get his face back, and this beating is in vain. The head of the squad immediately struggled up, and while calling someone to hurry inside, he opened the door of the mansion widely, and knelt in front of the sedan chair by himself, and the ready-made words came immediately, "The little one is damned, blind dog's eyes, I don't know how to drive the car of His Highness, please forgive Your Highness!" ”
After a while, he saw the county commander Jia Mao walking out of it, and when he saw the prince arrive, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately knelt down to greet him. Jia Mao also muttered in his heart: Since the prince came to Xincheng, he has never been to the county seat at all, and he has been in Huangzhuang all day long.
"Lord Jia, this palace is not a private matter, just a public case. Do you see a few people tied up in the back? Those guys were so bold that they openly attacked the palace in the wild, if it weren't for the desperate efforts of his subordinates, they wouldn't have ...... the palace" Sima Shu picked up Jia Mao and pointed to the few people behind.
Jia Mao followed Sima Shu's finger and looked, isn't this the second son of the Wang family? He...... How did he become the assassin who attacked the crown prince? What's going on? Jia Maoqiang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and then pondered and said: "Your Highness, the prince behind this is the second son of the Wang family, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding in the middle?" ”
"Oh? Does Lord Jia mean that Hongu lied? Sima Shu looked at Jia Mao with a smile.
"The minister doesn't dare, His Royal Highness is a golden mouth, so the official will take them into custody, but, what should the Wang family do?"
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Jia Mao's head, and he didn't dare to say good things for the Wang family, it seemed that the prince was really going to destroy the Wang family this time. And cases like this involving the crown prince are generally handled by Tingwei, but Sima Shu couldn't help but hand it over to the county government, and it can be seen that Sima Shu's purpose is no longer the second son of the Wang family, but the entire Wang family.
