Chapter 107: Gossip
Yang Xi asked again, and Han Jian and Sima Yi were secretive and did not go into details. Yang Xi sighed: "I don't know if Captain Feng is dead or alive now. ”
Sima said: "It should still be alive, but it can't last much longer with half a life." Soon, the captain of the guard station will be replaced like the young man of the Tingwei Mansion. Guess who's going to succeed you as captain of this guardhouse? ”
The two yamen, one in charge of the defense and security of the capital, one in the court and one in the guard post, also got together in case of accidents.
Han Jian didn't have the leisure to pay attention to who succeeded him as the captain of the guard, and at the moment the post of the young man of the Imperial Court Governor's Mansion was still vacant, such a critical yamen, the imperial court wanted to balance the relationship between all parties, not that it was possible to choose a random person to be competent.
"I'll go to the listening office first, I haven't passed for a few days, and I always have to take care of business."
Han Jian said, getting up to leave. Yang Xi hurriedly retained, he came to Qingxu Yashe today, in addition to telling Han Jian about Feng Qing's beating, there was also the official business he was about to start doing, that is, to supervise the storage of summer grain.
"Brother Han, you can help me take a look at these accounts. There are a lot of them, I don't understand them very well, you can refer to them in detail. ”
Han Jian glanced at Yang Xi, Yang Xi at this time seemed to be a child waiting to be fed. It seems that Yang Xi can't do anything without the help of others.
"Okay, let it go, let Sima take it back to the East Wangfu and take a slow look." Han Jian said casually, "The accounts can't be checked too quickly, the devil is hidden in the details......"
Yang Xi was puzzled: "Devil? What devil? ”
Han Jian didn't explain to him specifically, he beckoned Zhang Xing and the other guards to go downstairs, and was about to go out of the door, but saw a person stumbling in, but it was Huang Lie, who was drunk and making trouble in the opera garden yesterday.
As soon as Huang Lie saw Han Jian, he grabbed Han Jian's sleeve, and his eyes were full of tears as if he was excited to see a long-lost relative.
"Huang Gongzi? What are you ......" Han Jian looked at Huang Lie puzzled.
Huang Lie said with a crying voice: "Brother Han...... Yesterday...... What happened yesterday? Just now, the Tingwei Mansion called me for questioning, and it seems that they suspect that I killed some bullshit captain, and I don't know what bullshit captain. Yesterday we were together to testify for me. ”
Han Jian frowned slightly, he listened to the meaning of Huang Lie's words, Huang Lie either forgot everything about being drunk, or he played Lai Pifei in the name of drunkenness and said that he didn't remember.
Han Jian didn't speak, and Sima Yi's voice came from behind him: "Hey, Huang Dagongzi, are you awake?" I was so drunk last night, and it's not easy to get up so early today. Oh, the sun is three rods up, and it's almost noon. ”
Huang Lie said with a bitter face: "Brother Sima, don't make fun of me, today I am here to ask you for help, I don't remember anything about what happened last night, can you tell me a thing or two?" ”
Han Jian shook his head helplessly, yesterday's conflict, Huang Lie's appearance contributed to Feng Qing's beating. In fact, it is difficult to say whether the two have anything to do with it, but it is true that Huang Lie has something to do with it afterwards. But this won't be too much to do with it, after all, people are not injured by Huang Lie.
"Sima, you tell Huang Gongzi, I'll go first."
Han Jian put down the next sentence and went up to listen. I didn't go to work for a few days, and if someone really spread such gossip to the empress, there would be few voices of criticism in the court.
……
……
When I went to the general office of the listening office, the courtyard was still very deserted. Han Jian entered the courtyard and didn't see a single figure.
"Where did the people inside?" Han Jian had no choice but to ask the guards at the door.
The guard at the door replied respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of the East, I don't dare to ask more about the errands of the officials, but it seems that we have gone out to work together, and it will take until after noon to come back." ”
As far as Han Jian knows, the Shangting Office is a summary yamen, and the official affairs of each department and yamen are different, so they can also get together to go out to work?
Han Jianxin said that this is not very good, others go out to work together, but he didn't go with him, it is not good to talk about this matter.
Han Jian thought about it again, and simply asked for sick leave, so that missing work could be regarded as "famous", so he went to the room of the Treasury Department Yamen to find a pen and paper, wrote a fake note, handed it to the guards at the door, and instructed it to be handed over to Ma Jining or Gu Weipan. After all, these two are Han Jian's current top bosses.
Han Jian came to the listening office, that is, he went through the motions. There was nothing to do, so he had to go back to the East Wangfu first.
After lunch, Han Jian took a nap. As soon as he got up, Sima Yi came to him and brought a piece of news that was very related to the sharp.
"Young boy, are you sick?" Sima asked when he came up.
"Who did you listen to?" Han Jian frowned.
Sima said: "Who else needs to say this? There was already a rumor outside, saying that it was the young son, you had something to do with Feng Qing's beating yesterday, and you went to the palace once, and then said that you couldn't get sick. It's evil outside, some say that you have a rash, some say that you are pretending to be sick, and some say that you and Feng Qing pinched each other yesterday, and the result was a defeat for both sides...... I don't think it's credible, so I'm going to check it out. ”
Han Jian didn't expect that he was just looking for a reason to ask for sick leave at the head office of the Shangting Office, and he could actually make trouble in the city. This may have something to do with his special status.
Originally, Feng Qing was the person who was the most talked about by the people in the capital today, and it was related to Feng Qing's relationship with the empress behind the scenes. And Han Jian, as one of the people involved, is normal for someone to talk about something.
But Han Jian also felt that where was other people's gossip about him, it was obvious that someone was deliberately creating public opinion. Otherwise, if he takes a sick leave, Gu Weipan may not even see it, but it can make a lot of discussion outside?
"Young boy, why don't we go out for a walk and plug those people's mouths?" Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Sima asked in a asking tone.
"What are you gagging, now others think I'm pretending to be sick, so let's pretend to be sick to the end. Anyway, His Majesty doesn't allow me to take care of Feng Qing's case, so let's ignore it, and if anyone comes to ask, they will always say that I am sick and recuperating. Han Jian said.
Sima Yu said with a puzzled expression: "Young boy, this matter has little to do with us, so you can't hide and see no one, right?" If this is the case, it is really not certain how the people outside will spread it next. ”
Han Jian said: "Now it is clear that someone wants to deliberately frame this matter on the Dongwang Mansion, which makes people think that this matter has something to do with the Dongwang Mansion. Since we don't know who did it, let it succeed first, so that we can take the initiative. We neither admit nor deny it, and it will be up to us to see how the rumors from the outside world will spread next. ”
Sima borrowed a little understanding of what he heard, and then asked, "Then we won't go out in the Dongwang Mansion?" ”
"Where to go, just keep a low profile. It's a good time to see who's investigating us. Han Jian said.
Sima Yu thought for a while and said: "I estimate that there must be someone watching outside the Dongwang Mansion, go back and go out to investigate, and catch a few and come back for a trial." ”
"Don't startle the snake." Han Jian said, "Didn't you say you were going to Yuhualou today?" ”
Sima Yi smiled and said: "There is really such a thing, didn't I tell the surnamed Huang yesterday, I went to Yuhualou today, and Yang Gongzi also shouted to go just now." However, there was a kidnapping of the chaotic party last time, and this time more people should be brought, and the security on the side of Qingliu Lane has been strengthened, so the security problem should not be big. But when we went out like this, weren't we caught by those who were secretly watching us? ”
"Just to let them know that I'm faking my illness. I'm going to see what anyone can do with me. Han Jian gritted his teeth and said.
