Chapter 242: Inducement (3rd Update)
The sudden appearance of the Venerable Master Yuan Xia made the yamen of the Criminal Department silent, and all the officials, including Zhu Yongqing and Yang Rong and others, turned their eyes to the gate, and their expressions were all extremely surprised. The fastest update is the most stable, I will tell you, the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? Read the website
No one thought that Venerable Yuan Xia would dare to come here, and secretly guessed his intentions in private.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, a group of brightly clad Jinyi Wei Han generals entered the courtyard, followed by a group of Taoist priests, clustered in front of and behind the four Taoist priests carrying a pair of bamboo chairs with an awning.
On the bamboo chair sits a middle-aged Taoist with long hair and fairy wind bones, holding a whisk in his hand, with a dignified appearance, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, after touching the eyes, it makes people seem to feel a heroic righteousness spontaneously.
In order to increase his momentum, Zhou Yuting deliberately asked for the grace of Empress Zhang, and let General Jinyi Wei Dahan open the way for him, which can be described as full of magnificence.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" When the bamboo chair passed by the coffin, Su Bolang glanced at Zhang Wang's corpse in the coffin, stretched out his left hand in front of him and said in a deep voice.
Arrived at the door of the lobby of the Criminal Department, the four Taoist priests carrying the bamboo chairs carefully put down the bamboo chairs, Su Bolang got up and shook off the dust, looked up at the officials of the five mansions and six departments in the lobby, and walked in with his head up.
The officials and pro-soldiers standing at the door did not react for a while, and even forgot to block Su Bolang from entering, the lobby of the criminal department is a judicial place, and ordinary people are forbidden to enter unless they are communicated.
Although Su Bolang presided over the blessing ceremony of Emperor Hongxi, he did not have the title of the imperial court, so his identity was only a commoner, and it stands to reason that he was forbidden to enter without permission.
However, with General Jinyiwei Dahan opening the way for him, how could those officials and pro-soldiers at the entrance of the lobby dare to stop him?
"Lord Wang, the people of Benshan are polite here." Walking to the front of the hall, Su Bolang bowed down and made a mockery to Zhu Yongqing, and said in a deep voice.
Speaking of which, Su Bolang was able to know the dignified King Fu of Daming, thanks to Li Yuntian, when he presided over the ceremony for Emperor Hongxi, he saw many high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the imperial court in the imperial garden, including King Fu, so he kept it in mind.
Su Bolang can mix up some fame in the capital, naturally there are some uniqueness, he has a very good memory since he was a child, which can be called unforgettable, which makes him like a tiger when he is swaggering and cheating.
"What is the matter with the Taoist here?" Zhu Yongqing sat there and asked quietly, secretly guessing in his heart the intention of Su Bolang's coming.
"The people of Benshan are on a whim today, and they calculated that there would be a catastrophe, so they came to respond to the catastrophe." Su Bolang shook off the dust when he heard this, and replied loudly, when it comes to the ability to pretend to be a ghost, he is an expert, and he can be said to be able to catch it.
Hearing this, the officials in the lobby couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling that Su Bolang's words seemed a little mysterious. The update is the fastest and most stable
"Can you tell us a little bit about it?" Zhu Yongqing also felt a little puzzled, so he looked at Su Bolang with a stern expression.
"It's not a secret, the people of Benshan came here this time for Zhang Wang's matter." Su Bolang smiled slightly, turned to look at the coffin in the courtyard, "Zhang Wang's death has affected the current situation in the capital, and since the people of Benshan are already in the bureau, they naturally want to come to solve the situation." ”
"How does the Taoist solve the situation?" Zhu Yongqing was very curious when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask with interest.
"Lord Wang, can you borrow the court to use it for the people of Benshan." Su Bolang turned to look at Zhu Yongqing and said with a smile.
"Dao Chief, please." Zhu Yongqing glanced at Yang Rong and Xia Yuanji on the left and right, and the two of them bowed their heads one after another, so he made a gesture of invitation to Su Bolang.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Hearing this, Su Bolang bowed slightly and bowed to Zhu Yongqing, and then walked out of the lobby under the suspicious eyes of everyone.
"The people of Benshan asked you, was there anything unusual about Steward Zhang's behavior before he died?" In front of everyone, Su Bolang came to the front of the Qian family and asked in a deep voice.
"My master has always been fine, and there is nothing abnormal!" Qian gritted her teeth and stared at Su Bolang, and replied coldly, in her opinion, it was Su Bolang who assassinated Zhang Wang.
"This hairpin on your head is quite chic." Su Bolang clearly felt Qian's hatred for himself, and did not take it to heart, but fell his gaze on a delicate golden hairpin on Qian's head, and asked seemingly casually, "It was given to you by Steward Zhang before he died, right?" ”
"You...... How do you know? Qian was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously touched the hairpin on his head, Su Bolang was right, this hairpin was given to her by Zhang Wang two days before he hit the Dengwen drum, and he personally inserted it into her bun, so she has been wearing it.
It is worth mentioning that since the phoenix represents the queen, other people cannot use it, including the princess and the princess, and can only use the phoenix with a similar appearance, that is, a kind of golden pheasant with colorful feathers.
Therefore, the golden hairpin on Qian's head with a phoenix tail is called a phoenix hairpin, not a phoenix hairpin, a phoenix hairpin is an item transferred by the queen and the queen mother, just like the emperor's dragon robe, and the prince and prince can only be python robes.
"It's neither the New Year nor the festival, don't you think it's surprising that Steward Zhang gave you such a valuable hairpin?" Su Bolang knew that he had said what Qian was thinking, and asked methodically.
Hearing this, Qian's face changed, and she felt that Zhang Wang's behavior was a little strange at that time, but since this was Zhang Wang's intention, she naturally accepted it happily.
"Steward Zhang not only gave you a hairpin, but also gave gifts to the two sons and the eldest lady." Seeing the stunned look on Qian's face, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to look at a five or six-year-old boy standing beside her, and asked with a smile, "Can the people of Benshan take a look at the longevity lock that Steward Zhang gave to the second son?" ”
The two sons and the eldest lady in Su Bolang's mouth refer to Zhang Wang's two sons and one daughter, as for Zhang Wang's gifts to the Qian family and his children, Yang Yungui inquired about it privately, and then asked Zhou Yuting to tell him.
Qian was very proud after getting the hairpin, so he showed off a little to his neighbors, including Zhang Wang's gifts to his children, so Yang Yungui easily inquired.
Now that it comes out of Su Bolang's mouth, it gives people an unfathomable feeling, you must know that this is the Yankuai of the Zhang family, how can very people know it.
When the five or six-year-old boy saw Su Bolang staring at him, he couldn't help but feel a little curious, and stretched out his hand to protect his chest and hid timidly behind Qian's back.
"Wu Hanlin, I'm tired of your big driver, and take off the longevity lock of the second son of the Zhang family." Qian didn't know Su Bolang's intentions, so naturally he wouldn't agree to him, Su Bolang smiled slightly when he saw this, turned his head and said to Wu Shaoqing in the lobby.
Wu Shaoqing looked at Su Bolang with some puzzlement, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know why Su Bolang asked him to get the longevity lock, so he stood there and didn't move.
"Wu Hanlin, go ahead." Seeing this, Zhu Yongqing groaned for a while, and opened his mouth to command, since Su Bolang came here unexpectedly, he must have come prepared, and he also wanted to see if this person had some ability.
Wu Shaoqing bowed to Zhu Yongqing when he heard this, and started to walk to the courtyard, Qian had no choice at this time, so he reached out and took a silver longevity lock embroidered with a double lion pattern from the neck of a five or six-year-old boy and handed it to him.
"Wu Hanlin, don't you think it's a bit unusual for Steward Zhang to suddenly give so many gifts to his family?" Su Bolang looked at Wu Shaoqing, who was holding the longevity lock in his hand, and asked meaningfully.
"Hmph, Steward Zhang knows that he will die for a lifetime, so he said goodbye to his family in advance, what is abnormality?" Wu Shaoqing snorted coldly and replied expressionlessly, he had already decided in his heart that Su Bolang was a demon with ill intentions, so he naturally didn't have a good face for him.
"Wu Hanlin, the emperor has always been kind and generous, and everyone in the court knows it, what Steward Zhang told is for the emperor's safety, it is a act of loyalty, righteousness and loyalty, and there is absolutely no worry about his life, how can he say goodbye to his family?"
Su Bolang smiled slightly, looked at Wu Shaoqing, who was indifferent to him, and said, "Wu Hanlin should have a deep understanding of this, can Manager Zhang not know?" ”
"Your Excellency should have heard the allusion to the destruction of the cauldron and the shipwreck, according to Ben Hanlin, Steward Zhang is doing this with the determination to die this time, so it is not difficult to understand."
Wu Shaoqing was slightly stunned, even people like Li Qingzheng who offended Emperor Hongxi's Tianyan back then were only sent to Jiaozhi, not to mention Zhang Wang's behavior of just caring about Emperor Hongxi's safety, and then he frowned and retorted in a deep voice.
"Wu Hanlin, don't you think the second son of the Zhang family is past the age of sending the longevity lock?" Su Bolang did not argue with Wu Shaoqing, but turned around, glanced at the longevity lock in his hand, and asked quietly, "Doesn't Wu Hanlin think that the longevity lock given to the second son of the Zhang family by Steward Zhang has a mystery in it?" ”
"What's inside?" After Su Bolang's reminder, Wu Shaoqing also felt a little strange, and couldn't help but look down at the longevity lock in his hand.
The long-life lock is usually given and worn when the child is full moon, during the day or when he is one year old, and now the second son of the Zhang family is five or six years old, it stands to reason that he has already passed the age of sending the long-life lock, Zhang Wang's move is really a bit abrupt.
Seeing this, the corners of Su Bolang's mouth showed a subtle smile, Zhang Wang gave his three children a jade pendant, a gold bracelet and a silver longevity lock, so Hu Yitu suspected that the longevity lock, which was usually a hollow structure inside, contained something left by Zhang Wang, and it was the money he was greedy for.
Qian is Zhang Wang's wife, if Zhang Wang had already thought about committing suicide, then he would definitely leave money and things for Qian and his three children to live in, and hiding in the longevity lock is undoubtedly the most secure and safe, so Su Bolang said that the longevity lock "contains a mystery".
In fact, Su Bolang's words are ambiguous, which can refer to the fact that there is something in the longevity lock, or that Zhang Wang gave the second son of the Zhang family a strange behavior of the longevity lock, which makes it meaningful, it depends on how Wu Shaoqing understands it.
Now it seems that Wu Shaoqing was really induced by Su Bolang's words, and focused his attention on the longevity lock, which was in Su Bolang's arms, if there was really something in the longevity lock, it didn't matter, Su Bolang had another way to deal with it.
"Mrs. Zhang, can this official take it apart and take a look." After being lured by Su Bolang's words, Wu Shaoqing, who was upright by nature, was suddenly aroused by his curiosity, took the longevity lock and carefully examined it, and then groaned for a while, and said to the Qian family that he wanted to see if there was any "mystery" hidden by Su Bolang.
At this moment, this matter is not up to the Qian family at all, although he is reluctant in his heart, he still nods and agrees.
"Open it!" Wu Shaoqing immediately beckoned to a pro-army hundred-household on the side, and the hundred-household pulled out his waist knife and walked over, using the blade to force it at the gap between the edges of the longevity lock.
I only heard a slight crackling sound, and the longevity lock split from the gap at the edge, becoming two pieces in front and back, and a square piece of oiled paper wrapped tightly in oil paper fell out of it and fell on Wu Shaoqing's hand.
Seeing this scene, Wu Shaoqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, his eyes showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that there would really be something in the longevity lock.
The smile on the corner of Su Bolang's mouth couldn't help but be stronger, and he was very sure in his heart, it seemed that this play was getting more and more exciting. One
