Chapter 1030: The Storm Rises (4)

"What? You repeat! ”

Although the holy decree has not yet been officially issued, but the fifth elder brother has already seen himself as a messenger, even if last night's hangover has not subsided, his head is still a little drowsy and uncomfortable, but the spirit is quite excited, early in the morning, he commanded the people to pack up, stunned from morning to noon, inevitably a little sleepy, however, the mood is very good, but this good mood did not last long, with the arrival of the porter steward, it was replaced by panic in an instant.

"Lord Qiqi, the eldest brother is here, and he is waiting outside the door at the moment."

The housekeeper is just a member of the palace, although he has heard that his master and Hongqing are not good, but they are all hearsay, and they don't know anything about the inside story, so it is difficult to understand why the fifth elder brother heard that Hongqing was coming, and he was so gaffe, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only say a word again.

"Hmmm......"

There is no need to guess, the fifth elder brother can also know that Hongqing is here for the case in Henan, from the heart, the fifth elder brother really does not want to have anything to do with Hongqing at this time, but when he thinks of Hongqing's usual ruthless methods against the enemy, Rao is the fifth elder brother has always been bold, but he didn't dare to say the words he refused, and he really didn't know how to feel it for a while, and after muttering for a long time, he finally had to order in a muffled voice: "Open the middle door, and the king will personally greet him!" ”

"Wow!"

As soon as he heard the order of the fifth elder brother, the concierge didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly ran to the gate, and did not mention the relevant matters to greet Zhang Luo.

"Yo, big brother, you're here, the younger brother has delayed some mundane things, and it's too late to greet you, so please ask the eldest brother to have a lot of Haihan."

In front of the gate of the county king's mansion, Hongqing, who was dressed in civilian clothes, stood motionless like a mountain, although he was speechless, but the murderous aura on his body was so thick that it was terrifying, not to mention that the people of the county king's mansion did not dare to lean forward, even the guards of Prince Ren's mansion also consciously or unconsciously tightened their heartstrings, and the silent depression was too strong, even if the fifth elder brother who had just walked out of the mansion was rushed to frown wildly, but he did not dare to lose his manners in front of Hongqing, so he could only force the anxiety in his heart, Hurried forward and greeted him very respectfully.

"The fifth brother is polite, he came uninvited for his brother, didn't disturb the fifth brother?"

For Hong Xian's half-brother, Hongqing actually doesn't have much family affection, even if they all grew up in a courtyard, but the level of each other is too far apart, there was no contact in the past, since Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, there are no less bumps and bumps between each other, the relationship has always been not very good, of course, no matter what the real relationship between each other is, in such a public, the due etiquette is indispensable, Hongqing can't give the fifth elder brother a look at this time, but he didn't show too much affection, It's just a vague and aggrieved greeting.

"What are you talking about, can you come, the younger brother's place is full of brilliance, hehe, there is a lot of inconvenience here, can the eldest brother please talk inside?"

Disturb? That's naturally there, if it's possible, the fifth elder brother can't wait for Hongqing to leave quickly, but he thinks about it in his heart, and says, it's absolutely unspeakable, on such occasions, the fifth elder brother can only laugh dryly, stretch out his hand, and politely invite Hongqing into the house to talk.

"Well, that's good, fifth brother, please!"

Hongqing has always been a simple person, since the fifth elder brother is invited, he will not talk more, smiled gently, waved his hand and said please, and then entered the mansion with the fifth elder brother, and the brothers entered the second hall all the way.

"Big brother, please use tea."

Although the fifth elder brother was anxious to find out Hongqing's intention, he didn't have the courage to ask directly, so he could only force the uneasiness in his heart, picked up the tea bowl with a smile, and gestured towards Hongqing.

"Good tea, heh, the fifth brother will really enjoy it, this tea is more mellow than the best pre-rain Longjing rewarded by Huang Ama a few days ago, not bad, really good."

Hongqing is not in a hurry, the left and right people have already arrived, there is time to talk about business, but there is no need to rush for a while, but seeing that he picked up the tea bowl with a smile and took a small sip, he smiled and praised it.

"The eldest brother said and laughed, this tea is the thing that the emperor Ama appreciated, and the younger brother does not dare to use it more on weekdays, that is, the eldest brother is here, and the younger brother took it out to offer the treasure, hehe, I don't know if the eldest brother came to the younger brother's house today, but is there anything important? If you need to get the younger brother, please say it bluntly, but if the younger brother can do it, it will not disappoint the eldest brother. ”

The fifth elder brother was very jealous of Hongqing, how could he be in the mood to accompany Hongqing to talk about those nonsense that was not very nutritious, seeing that Hongqing was not in a hurry to explain his intentions, he couldn't hold it back, and after a few words of nonsense, he immediately changed the conversation and released tentative words.

"Well, the fifth brother can have this heart, it is very comforting for the brother, don't hide it from the fifth brother, come here for the brother, and really need the help of the fifth brother, however, before that, there are a few things for the brother that still need to be explained by the fifth brother."

The fifth elder brother turned to the topic, and Hongqing was too lazy to talk any more nonsense, so he casually put the tea bowl on a few pieces, his face suddenly turned solemn, and his eyes swept towards the fifth elder brother like a knife.

"Eh, this ......, what does the eldest brother mean, please forgive the younger brother for being stupid and unclear, and please ask the eldest brother to say it clearly."

The fifth elder brother used to be a bold master, but now he was swept away by Hongqing's cold eyes, and even if he was worried in his heart, his face was involuntarily white, but fortunately, the city was still quite deep, and he didn't lose his temper too much, but he insisted on asking a question.

"There is an excerpt here for my brother, and the fifth brother will read it first and then talk about it."

Hongqing didn't say much to explain, just shook his hand, took out a fold that was not covered with yellow silk from the wide sleeve, and threw it into the arms of the fifth elder brother.

Not only did the excerpt not cover it, but it was also not signed, and it was only two pages in total, and there were not many things recorded on it, all of which were all about the five elder brothers' various illegal deeds, generally five or six cases, but all of them were fatal things, and there were two of the strictest of them, one was that the fifth elder brother took advantage of the chaos of military reform to privately transfer more than 1,000 guns and several artillery pieces from the arsenal, which was suspected of rebellion; The second is that during the period when the fifth elder brother went to Jingling to sweep the tomb, he drank and made a big fuss in the palace, knocked over the offering table, and had a great crime of unfilial piety.

"This, this is a frame-up, the little brother has never done such a thing, which bastard is chewing the root of the tongue, the master must not be finished!"

After reading the excerpt, the fifth elder brother couldn't hold his breath anymore, and roared angrily, no side, it's just a crime like greed for ink, left and right is just a punishment of a reprimand, it's not a big deal, but drunkenness and trouble in Jingling is not so good to pass the pass, once confirmed, it will have to be demoted, as for the private transfer of weapons, it is even more terrible, this is a capital crime, even if Emperor Chengde has a heart, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save him.

"It can't be fake, and it can't be fake, since the fifth brother hasn't done such a thing, why should he be so violent."

Hongqing didn't care about the fifth elder brother's frenzied appearance at all, and replied coldly.

"What is the eldest brother saying, this is a false accusation against the younger brother, how can the younger brother sit idly by, no, the younger brother will definitely find out about this matter, see who is behind the ghost, let the master know, he will definitely cut off his dog's head!"

With such a heavy crime, the fifth elder brother didn't want to bear it, and he couldn't afford it, even if he felt weak in his heart again, he didn't dare to show his cowardice at this time, so he could only continue to pretend to be angry, roaring regardless of it, as if he had really been wronged.

"Heh, it seems that the fifth brother's memory is not too good, okay, then the brother will remind the fifth brother, 'Wanjiazhuang' and 'Wanfeng Firm', can these two words make the fifth brother remember something, huh?"

Hongqing dared to take out such a fold in front of the fifth elder brother, naturally there would be no evidence, and he would not be afraid of the fifth elder brother's denial, but seeing that he smiled coldly, he reminded the fifth elder brother unhurriedly.

"Ah, this, this ......"

As soon as the two terms mentioned by Hongqing came out, the anger that the fifth elder brother pretended to be was completely dissipated in an instant, replaced by infinite fear, and the whole body collapsed on the chair on the spot, stammering and unable to say a complete sentence. But if you really want to check, it's definitely accurate.

"The ancients had a cloud saying: Heaven is forgivable, self-inflicted sin can not live, for the brother will be suspicious, now see what the fifth brother did, this is to know that the ancients are not deceiving, pitiful, sad, sigh!"

Rao is fifth elder brother was already frightened, but Hongqing didn't let it go at all, and sighed with regret on his face, he was simply sprinkling salt on the fifth elder brother's wound, when even the fifth elder brother's face was distorted in pain.

"I, I, I ......"

Being so cynicist and ridiculed by Hongqing, the fifth elder brother was really anxious, angry and afraid, and all kinds of thoughts in his heart were frantically intertwined, but there was a blank in his mind, and he didn't know how to react for a while......
