Chapter 178: Brilliant on the spot
Xiao Jiading waved his hand and said, "The girl has drunk so much wine, let's take a break for the time being, I also want to talk to Ling Zun, and if the girl can still drink after a while, then let's continue to bet." ”
Wu Haiyan also drank a belly of wine, so it's good to take a break. He snorted and sat down on the couch.
Wuzhen's deputy saw that his daughter was challenging at this time, but Xiao Jiading did not take advantage of this opportunity to chase after him, and his good impression of him immediately became much greater, and he smiled and said: "Little girl is reckless, Xiao Gongzi should not be surprised." ”
"Where, the general said with a smile. Actually, I don't like those women who twist and pinch very much, but it is a heroine like Ling Yan who has an appetite for me. ”
Pan Beijia and Geng Changshi were originally worried that Xiao Jiading would be angry because of Wu Haiyan's recklessness and powerlessness, so this family business would be yellow. Now listening to Xiao Jiading say this, he obviously didn't care much about Wu Haiyan's previous behavior, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't know that Xiao Jiading was actually very disgusted with a smug and impolite woman like Wu Haiyan, but he knew that this was sponsored by Pan Beijia, and Pan Beijia's backstage was Sun Wuji, the chief minister of power. Now his top priority is to make Pan Beijia feel that they are their people, so that he will not be recognized as a close confidant of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and thus be involved in the upcoming Fang Yiai and Li Ke's conspiracy against the case and lose his head. Therefore, not to mention that they introduced a female man, even if they introduced a dominatrix, they had to accept it first.
Of course, he would not let this female man be his wife, but he also had to find a reasonable reason to make Pan Beijia not feel that they were prevaricating. To make Pan Bei drive them to feel that they are their people, to achieve the goal of taking refuge in the eldest grandson Wuji to save their lives, and not to marry this female man, it will take some time to ponder and improvise.
Listening to Xiao Jiading's words, at least he did not explicitly reject this family business. The scene was lively again. So they all raised their glasses and drank freely. Of course, Wu Haiyan can't drink it for the time being. No one persuaded her to drink.
At this moment, she already felt the strength of the wine coming up, and she had been fighting against it. So there's no time to estimate that they're at a distraction.
Xiao Jiading almost expressed his interest in such a family affair in order to get close to Wuzhen Deputy Pull, so he deliberately had nothing to say to chat with Wuzhen Deputy Brother. He asked casually: "Then Captain Han's daughter's martial arts are also good." Compared with Ling Yan, I think Ling Yan's martial arts are stronger. ”
Deputy Wuzhen was quite complacent, stroking his cheeks and smiling: "This is the truth. Although Captain Han's martial arts are also good, I don't think much of it. The daughter he taught is naturally inferior to mine. ”
Geng Changshi on the side hurriedly interjected: "That's right, what kind of daughter can a person like Captain Han who is greedy for life and afraid of death teach?" ”
Deputy Wuzhen nodded hurriedly. "That's right! I have long thought that this kid is not good, but no one listens to me. The result? ”
Xiao Jiading said: "Since he is so greedy for life and afraid of death, he should have been replaced as soon as possible, but it is a pity that your opinion was not adopted in time." ”
Deputy Wuzhen laughed twice, burped, and said: "To be honest, I also thought he was a general, so when Brigade Marshal Bao tied him up and escorted him back, I also stepped forward to untie him." also scolded Brigade Bao and them angrily, saying that they were subordinates, so what qualifications did they have to tie up their bosses? ”
When Xiao Jiading heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Captain Han was sent back by being tied up?" What's going on? ”
"yes. They strayed into the territory of Tibet, and there was no news for three days, only to get a report from Tibet that they were surrounded by Tibet. They have already surrendered, and in order to take care of the friendly relations between the two sides, they are all released. But all the weapons were confiscated. Let's go to the border and pick up people. So I followed the town general to lead the troops to the border, and I saw Brigade Marshal Bao and they escorted Captain Han from the border side......"
Xiao Jiading's heart moved, no, what the file said was that the reinstated Brigade Marshal Bao was ordered to be tied up by Captain Han because he disobeyed Captain Han's surrender order, so he was not punished afterwards, he was the only general who was not punished in this incident. Now Deputy Wuzhen said that why did they kidnap Captain Han and escort him back? Hurriedly interrupted him: "Brigade Marshal Bao, they kidnapped Captain Han?" Is it the soldiers who are unwilling to surrender and mutinied? ”
There is no mention of mutiny among the sergeants in the file, but it is only that Captain Han ordered the surrender, so he handed over all the weapons and the Tubo released them. Then why would the subordinates tie up the superiors? What happened next?
Deputy Wuzhen was about to answer, but Geng Changshi had already interrupted them: "Deputy Wuzhen, look at your baby daughter, she doesn't seem to be able to do it!" ”
Deputy Wuzhen hurriedly looked back, only to see that Wu Haiyan had already slipped out of the couch and slipped under the table!
Deputy Wuzhen screamed: "Haiyan, how are you?" How do you get drunk like this? With that, he got up and dragged her out from under the table.
Wu Haiyan said vaguely: "I ......, I didn't get drunk ......!" The ...... surnamed Xiao, come ...... again! Wow! ”
Speaking of the back, she opened her mouth and vomited wildly, aiming at Deputy Wuzhen's face. Deputy Wuzhen hurriedly tilted his head and dodged, and most of the vomit was poured into Pan Beijia, who was next to Deputy Wuzhen!
Suddenly, the sour smell of bones permeated the room.
Deputy Wuzhen was shocked, and he couldn't care about his daughter, threw her on the couch, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to give Pan Bei a test.
Pan Beijia is very generous, Ha Luha smiled and said: "It's okay, Deputy Wuzhen, you are also dirty, let's go change clothes together, let's go!" Let the maidservants take care of them. ”
After that, he smiled with Xiao Jiading, and couldn't help but pull Deputy Wuzhen out of the door.
Outside the door, Pan Beijia let go of Deputy Wuzhen's hand, looked back at no one, and lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Zhiyi is now in charge of the recording of prisoners in this case, don't tell him anything about Captain Han's case!" Do you hear that? Lest you shake out your own business! ”
Wuzhen's heart froze, and he suddenly woke up for most of the time, and regretted it in his heart, this case also involved his own leadership responsibility, which was originally to be punished, and it was Pan Beijia's help that escaped this catastrophe, why didn't he notice this problem. looked at Pan Beijia in trepidation, and said, "Then ......, then I have said ......, what can I do?" ”
"Stop here! Don't say anything about it! ”
"Yes, yes! Humiliation remembered. Deputy Wuzhen nodded in agreement.
Pan Beijia said again: "You don't have to be too nervous, aren't you talking to you now?" As long as your daughter marries him, he will be your son-in-law, and even if he notices something, he will not ignore you, the old man! ”
Deputy Wuzhen smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "No, the little girl ...... today, alas! I'm afraid that Xiao Gongzi won't look down on the little girl because of this. ”
"Don't worry about this, I'll do it, I believe that Brother Xiao still has to give me the face of my old face. It's just that your daughter is too spicy, which is not good, no man likes such a fierce woman. She must change this! Otherwise, Brother Xiao is scared and doesn't dare to marry you, the daughter of a tigress, then I can't help it! ”
"Yes, yes! The lowly job understands that the lowly job must go back and discipline her well! Deputy Wuzhen's face was red and white for a while, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he must explain his daughter well, and he can't make a mistake again.
Pan Bei drove them out to change clothes, Wu Haiyan slipped under the table again, Geng Changshi's wife and concubine were instructing the servants to clean up the vomit on the ground and table, and when they saw this, they quickly commanded several maids to support Wu Haiyan. But although Wu Haiyan was drunk, she didn't let people support her. She had a lot of strength, she couldn't hold her at all, and she was so tired that a few maids were snorting and panting, but she still didn't get her out from under the table, so anxious that Geng Changshi's wife and concubine rubbed their hands.
Geng Changshi accompanied Xiao Jiading to speak, talking about how good Wu Haiyan was, Xiao Jiading just smiled and listened, but his left ear went in and his right ear came out. His mind was pondering what Deputy Wuzhen had said just now.
Captain Han is the supreme leader of that group of Tang Army, since he can decide that the Tang Army disarms and surrender, and the Tang Army also does so, and finally comes back empty-handed, it shows that Captain Han still has control over the entire army. In this case, how could he be tied up and escorted back by the reinstated Bao Brigade Shuai? Could it be that Brigade Marshal Bao later launched a mutiny? Tie up the general who ordered the surrender, Captain Han? If so, it can be explained, but why is there no reaction in the dossier? This is still the second, and the bigger doubt is: Since Brigade Marshal Bao is so unswerving, why didn't they mutiny when Captain Han ordered to surrender? Could it be that Brigade Marshal Bao was afraid that they would be held accountable when they came back afterwards, so they tied up Captain Han in an attempt to reduce their responsibility?
Xiao Jiading couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while. He vaguely felt in his heart that there seemed to be some inconsistencies in this case that did not match the facts identified in the case file. But no matter what, anyway, Captain Han ordered the surrender of the right point, and he admitted it himself. So in the final analysis, there should be no big problem with this case.
The wine banquet was so troubled by Wu Haiyan, and everyone didn't have the heart to continue eating. When Pan Bei drove them back to change clothes, Xiao Jiading excused himself to leave drunk. Geng Changshi was sent outside the door, and he was a little unhappy.
At noon the next day, after the dismissal, Xiao Jiading was preparing to go home for dinner. As soon as she walked out of the gate of the yamen, she saw Wu Haiyan at the bottom of the steps, staring at him with her hands behind her back.
Xiao Jiading frowned, she had a bad premonition, Wu Haiyan would never forget yesterday's events, she came to find herself today, I was afraid that she wanted to get her face back.
Xiao Jiading pretended to be enthusiastic and greeted him, and arched his hand: "Miss Wu, why are you here?" ”
"I'm looking for you! Come with me! With that, Wu Haiyan turned around and left. (To be continued......)
