Chapter 42: Dignity at Stake
PS: Unexpected situation.,I can't update it tonight.,Let's go to sleep after reading this chapter!
……
After being counted down by Yan Shu for a while, Gongsun Hou restrained himself a little, and didn't dare to argue with Lu Qiao anymore, but he still said: "Lord Yan, this investigation can't leave our Gongsun family, right?" ”
His grandson's family died, and it is understandable to investigate this case, and Yan Shu is naturally not easy to dismiss this point.
Although it is said that this is Jiangning, not Luzhou, but everyone is an official in the same dynasty, Yan Shu is not good at refuting Gongsun Yu's face like this, after all, his son died in Jiangning!
Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun discussed for a while, and then said to Gongsun Hou: "If you want to investigate the case, it's okay, but this official said it in front." If you want to investigate the case, you will investigate, and the official will also investigate it, everyone will check their own, what do you think? ”
Gongsun Hou said: "That's nature, but it's ...... Did the adults send this kid to investigate the case? ”
Yan Shu frowned, and looked at Gongsun Hou with some anger.
It's not entirely because Gongsun Hou is angry because he despises Ye Heng, there is another reason why Yan Shu is angry, that is, this Gongsun Hou is too arrogant!
Anyway, Ye Heng is also the person designated by him Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun to investigate the case, even if your Gongsun Hou looks down on Ye Heng's age, you should give Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun a little face, right?
But it's good for your grandson to be a child, a child who opens his mouth and closes his mouth is a little child, do you really think that you are following the onion?
Without Yan Shu's seizure, Zhang Shixun, who had endured it for a long time, laughed first: "Yes, he is the person I chose with Master Yan, why would the master of Gongsun ask like this?" ”
Gongsun Hou smiled and said, "Don't be angry, two adults, I'm talking like this, I'm straightforward!" There is absolutely no other meaning, and I dare not have any other meaning...... Just look at this...... Hehe, I'm too young, doesn't the old saying 'no hair on the mouth, no good work'? ”
"Not necessarily, those who have hairs on their mouths may not be reliable!" Zhang Shixun looked at Gongsun Hou and asked with a smile: "If Gongsun Master doesn't believe it, we can make a bet!" ”
Gongsun Hou asked, "How to bet?" ”
"Bet on who will solve this case first!" Zhang Shixun said to Gongsun Hou: "If Gongsun is the master of the book, you solve the case first, it will be the official who loses......"
"Oops...... Gongsun Hou hurriedly said: "Where does the villain dare to win the prefect?" ”
Yan Shu snorted coldly and asked, "Then you don't dare to bet?" ”
"Dare! It's just that the prefect doesn't have to stand up on his own, anyway, this case is a matter between my Gongsun Hou and Ye Heng, so it's better to do this! If the villain is lucky enough to solve the case first, Ye Heng loses, so how about punishing him to help my dead nephew's coffin to Luzhou? With that, Gongsun Hou stared straight at Ye Heng, waiting for Ye Heng's answer.
Ye Heng smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness in his smile...... Why me again?
It was the first time he and this Gongsun Hou met, but this Gongsun Hou treated him like a soft persimmon, in fact, Ye Heng knew that this Gongsun Hou just wanted to avenge Gongsun Yang......
At the beginning, in the wonderful quotations, Ye Heng won Gongsun Yang with one word, which made Gongsun Yang lose face, I believe that Gongsun Hou must have known about this matter, so at this time, he came to Ye Heng to make a bet, wanting to win back Gongsun Yang's lost face!
But the bet was brought up by Zhang Shixun, Ye Heng was embarrassed to say yes if he wanted to refuse, and after thinking about it, Ye Heng had to ask Gongsun Hou rhetorically: "What if Gongsun loses?" ”
"You promised? Good! As long as you agree to my conditions, then if I lose, you will be punished in the future! Even if it is to apologize to you in public! Gongsun Hou looked like he was in his chest, and he thought that Ye Heng had agreed.
Ye Heng sneered: "If the student loses, he will go to Luzhou for Gongsun Yang's coffin, but the master of the book only apologizes when he loses, and the bet gap between the two sides is too big, right?" ”
Gongsun Hou asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"The student's request is not excessive, at least compared to the Gongsun main book, the student's request is much simpler, if the student solves the case first, don't apologize to the master bookkeeper, as long as the Gongsun master book is by the Qinhuai River at that time, in front of everyone to relieve a small solution and shout to admit defeat!"
"You...... How can you make such an excessive request? "Hearing that he was going to pee in front of so many people by the Qinhuai River if he lost, Gongsun Hou was anxious, this apology or something is good, if you lose one, you will lose, but urinate in public...... Isn't that killing him?
"Lord Bookkeeper is ...... right" This time it was Ye Heng's turn to smile, looked at Gongsun Hou and asked, "Isn't your request too much?" ”
There has never been only a son who holds the coffin for Lao Tzu, and Gongsun Hou's request for a bet is actually humiliating Ye Heng!
Now Ye Heng immediately returned this humiliation to Gongsun Hou, and made Gongsun Hou embarrassed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gongsun Hou finally gritted his teeth, looked at Ye Heng and said, "Okay!" ”
The bet was decided like this, and even Zhang Shixun, who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, even asked his master to write a notarization, and let Ye Heng and Gongsun Hou each press their fingerprints!
After Ye Heng and Gongsun Hou left, Yan Shu looked at Zhang Shixun and asked, "My lord, why is this...... also instigated Ye Heng to make a bet with that Gongsun Hou? ”
Zhang Shixun touched his beard and asked, "What, Uncle Tong, are you worried that Ye Heng will lose?" Hehe, Uncle Tong, do you think Ye Heng is no match for a mere grandson? ”
Yan Shu shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that this Gongsun Hou is prepared, maybe Gongsun Yang left any clues before his death!" ”
Zhang Shixun listened, shook his head and said, "Uncle Tong, can't you still see that Gongsun Hou is a big-mouthed monster?" Or rather...... Can this Gongsun Yang calculate that he would die in Jiangning before his death, and then leave clues for his family? ”
"That's ...... too"
Yan Shu groaned.
On the other side, a group of people who were waiting for Ye Heng at the entrance of the yamen frowned when they heard that Ye Heng had made a bet with Gongsun Hou.
Luo Ying complained: "Hold on, you ...... How can you make such a bet with Gongsun Hou? Not to mention the punishment for winning or losing, what if Gongsun Hou already knew about the murderer? ”
"No, it won't!" Ye Heng shook his head and said, "If Gongsun Hou knew about the murderer, wouldn't he have arrested someone earlier?" Otherwise, what was the head catcher he brought for? And also...... Gongsun Hou insisted that Shopkeeper Qiu was the murderer, which showed that he actually didn't know anything about this case! ”
"What about the clues?" Luo Ying looked at Ye Heng and reminded, "What if Gongsun Hou has some clues about Gongsun Yang's death?" ”
