Chapter 21 The old slave in the palace
After settling down Shu Zicheng, Shu Qing thought about it and decided to go to the Tianbon stack.
When he came to the Tianbo Inn, it was almost dinner time, Shu Qing walked to Mo Wengu's guest room, but found that the door was closed, and he was about to walk away, but Shu Qing heard Mo Wengu's voice coming from the next room.
"That's right, I let the people go." Mo Wengu's voice was so calm that it was almost cold.
Another voice was a little annoyed: "Brother Mo, do you know what you're doing?" ”
"Of course I know." Mo Wengu was still in a bleak mood.
Shu Qing could hear that the other voice should be Lin Ziyue.
"You let Shu Zicheng go without authorization, and it is not only you who are implicated, but also me, as well as those innocent guards!" Lin Ziyue rarely lost his temper, but today he angrily scolded Mo Wengu.
"So what?" Mo Wengu finally smiled, "I got a chance that Shu Qing gave me, and it was worth it." ”
"So you're ...... for her," Lin Ziyue groaned, "You're really stunned......"
Hearing this, Shu Qing couldn't help but suddenly let out a sneer. She wanted to express her gratitude to Mo Wengu in person, but Mo Wengu's attempt really made her feel disgusted.
He still hasn't changed, he's still the same selfish kid, he never thinks about others in what he does, it's all for his own selfishness!
Shu Qing smiled coldly, and went downstairs alone.
Looking at this, there was no need for her to thank Mo Wengu at all.
And Lin Ziyue and Mo Wengu, who were sitting in the guest room, didn't find out that Shu Qing had ever come.
Mo Wengu sighed: "Please rest assured, Brother Lin, I will think about this matter again." In fact, I am not all doing this because of Shu Qing, this is the responsibility we bear, we should investigate it clearly, and we will not easily wronged anyone. ”
Lin Ziyue was a little helpless: "Why don't I want to save Uncle Shu?" It's just that your actions this time are too reckless and impulsive, and now that our identities have all been exposed, it will be difficult to investigate further. ”
Mo Wen Guzi also understood this truth, he sighed lightly: "I think there are still a lot of strange things about this matter, Shu Zi has become a person with a fair and upright character, and he is already the richest man in Da Zhou, with his current statement and status, why bother to use such risky means to make money again?" ”
Lin Ziyue bowed: "I think the same way." It's just that now that our deeds have been exposed, we need to be more careful in everything we say and do in the future. Yesterday's actions must have been transmitted back to the capital, I just hope that the emperor can open up and give Uncle Shu some more time. ”
Mo Wengu agreed: "Brother Lin's words are reasonable. You and I tread carefully. ”
The two discussed countermeasures, and sure enough, early the next morning, someone came to the Chenzhou official mansion.
At that time, Mo Wengu and Lin Ziyue were playing a game with tea in the backyard, and when they were inseparable, Mo San hurriedly ran in.
"There is a captain of the Yu guard outside, and a person who claims to be Zhao's father-in-law asks to see him." Mo San bowed his head and said.
Mo Wengu stopped the movement in his hand, glanced at him lightly, and seemed to ponder for a moment before opening his lips and saying, "Let them in." Brother Lin, let's continue. ”
Lin Ziyue was also very leisurely, he smiled, and landed a sunspot on the chessboard.
After a short time, Mo San took the chief of the guard and Gonggong Zhao into the backyard.
The two stood side by side and saluted Mo Wengu very consciously.
"The slave has seen the prince and Lord Lin." A man dressed as a eunuch kowtowed softly.
Mo Wengu twisted the sunspot in his hand and glanced at him sharply.
"Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Gonggong Zhao." Mo Wen narrowed his eyes lightly. This Zhao Gonggong is indeed a person in the palace, but he is in charge of the palace rules and rituals by the emperor's side, and he is also a big celebrity. ”
It stands to reason that even if you want to try a case and arrest someone, it should be handed over to the Criminal Department to deal with, eunuchs such as eunuchs cannot interfere, so Mo Wengu felt quite strange.
Zhao Gonggong was busy laughing on the side: "The old slave also passed through Chenzhou when he was purchasing things for the emperor, and I heard that the prefect of Chenzhou said that someone was selling illegal salt, so he dared to send someone to arrest him, but I didn't expect the prince and Lord Lin to be here." The minions really accidentally collided with the two adults. ”
When the chief of the Yu guard, who was kneeling beside Gonggong Zhao, heard this, he immediately kowtowed and explained: "This matter is all the fault of the slave, yesterday the slave said that there was a secret decree in the palace, all to scare the two, and the slave also knew that telling such a lie would be beheaded, and asked the prince to have a large number, just forgive the slave this time." ”
The two sang and harmonized, but Mo Wengu and Lin Ziyue didn't know who to believe.
This Zhao Gonggong is a close confidant next to the emperor, and he has seen the two of them, so he doesn't dare to lie easily, on the other hand, this Yu Captain of the Guard, yesterday was a nostrils facing the sky, thinking that he was pretending to be majestic.
"The case of private salt mentioned by Zhao's father-in-law is that I and Brother Lin are in charge of the investigation, why don't Brother Lin and I know that the person who sells illegal salt is Master Shu Zicheng?" Mo Wen Gu Feng's eyes were slightly blushing.
Zhao Gonggong continued to laugh and said, "I think the prefect of Chenzhou misunderstood." ”
"Hmph, is it all right with a simple misunderstanding? Yesterday you made such a big move, it is already a surprise, if the smuggling of salt runs away because of this, I think which of you can afford it! Mo Wengu said, slapping his palm on the stone table.
The chess pieces on the table were shaken together, and the faces of Chief Yu and Gonggong Zhao were buried even lower for a while.
"Yes, yes, the prince has taught him a lesson." Zhao Gonggong nodded.
Mo Wengu finished reprimanding him, and then walked over and personally helped him up: "Gonggong Zhao, you are also an old hero in the palace, you should know how to deal with this matter, right?" ”
Gonggong Zhao hurriedly responded: "The old slave knows that after returning to the palace, the old slave will not mention it to the emperor." ”
"Hmm." Mo Wengu smiled with satisfaction, "This case is free for the king and Lord Lin to be responsible, and when the truth is found out, we will personally explain the ins and outs to the emperor, and before that, I hope that Gonggong Zhao will keep it secret for us for the time being." ”
"Yes." Zhao Gonggong kowtowed in a regular manner, "Since this is the case, the old slave will not disturb the work of the prince and Lord Lin, and the old slave will go back to the palace to resume his life, so he will retire first." ”
Zhao Gonggong finished kowtowing, finished saluting, and immediately left the Tianbo stack.
Lin Ziyue and Mo Wengu glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
