Chapter Ninety-Four: Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
Zheng Degang withdrew his gaze from Changfan's face, put it back on Wang Hui's body, and smiled: "Lord Wang, let's take a step to speak." As he spoke, he led Wang Hui into his inner room. Wang Hui didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that Zheng Degang was very gentle towards him, he walked in. I saw that Zheng Degang's inner room was very narrow, except for one of the four walls with a bed against the wall, and the other three sides were bookshelves, with stacks of books.
Wang Hui glanced at it, and saw that although there were many books on the shelf, they were neatly packed and spotless, and he couldn't help but be very impressed, and saw that Zheng Degang still had a book on his pillow, and couldn't help but be a little impressed by this Dali Siqing: Everyone knows that Zheng Shaoqing can do this position, and most of them enjoy the cheapness of the family business, but they didn't expect that Zheng Daren is also a well-educated person, with a house full of books, and he reads without sleep and food.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Zheng Degang say in a low voice: "Lord Wang doesn't know, just now the old Tong Pavilion and Liu Nei in the palace came to my Dali Temple, Lord Zhao is probably out of danger, this little slave outside, I don't know if Lord Wang has full evidence, otherwise...... was caught by someone, but it hurt Lord Zhao. Wang Hui heard the meaning of Zheng Degang's words, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan understands what Shaoqing means, this kid has already confessed to him, and this case is indeed inseparable from him." ”
Zheng Degang was relieved and said, "That's fine, I'm also worried that I will be implicated in Lord Wang in vain." Wang Hui was a little moved, and said: "Since the lord has told the lower officials like this, the lower officials also have something, you might as well tell the adults." This case was investigated in Jiangning at the behest of the official family, which shows that the official family did not suspect Lord Zhao. So who does the official family want to hit with this matter, and Master Zheng understands it. ”
Zheng Degang was a little surprised when he saw Wang Hui say the meaning of the official family so unabashedly: "Have you told others about this?" Lord Wang, Lin'an is no better than Jiang Ning, you have to be careful when you speak. Wang Hui laughed and said: "Xia Guan understands that I consciously fell in love with adults, and I saw that adults had a heart-to-heart with me, so I didn't want to hide anything." To tell the truth, even the two brothers outside me don't know about this. ”
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Li Zhuoran and Shao Shoutie outside. Zheng Degang also glanced at it, and saw that both of them were extraordinary and unusual, so he asked, "I don't know these two, but Lord Wang's subordinates?" Wang Hui said: "If you go back to your lordship, you are a friend of Xiaguan in the rivers and lakes." Zheng Degang instructed again: "When you go back to the official's house, don't mention the two of them, lest the official family wonder why the Jianghu forces are involved." ”
Wang Hui thanked him again, and just wanted to ask Changfan what to do, he heard Zheng Degang say: "If there is nothing else to do, people will be locked up in Dali Temple first, Lord Wang has been running all the way, I'm afraid I'm tired, so I will rest with my friends in the back rooms, Zheng has to go to General Qin to see, and it's not good to let him wait for a long time." Wang Hui hurriedly said: "Don't dare to delay Lord Zheng's business, and it is inconvenient for me to stay in Dali Temple for too long, so as not to settle down and go back first." ”
Zheng Degang nodded, went out and said to a servant behind Changfan: "Lao Jia, you are responsible for taking it into custody." The official named Lao Jia answered, and led Li Zhuoran and Shao Shoutie to walk towards the dungeon with a long sail. Zheng Degang arranged for Wang Hui to wait in the inner room, and he was busy leading people to the front lobby to find Qin Guoxi.
That Qin Guoxi waited in the lobby for a long time, and he was already angry. He was worried that he had missed the time of Shi Miyuan's explanation, and when he went back, he would inevitably complain, so he sent a nameless fire on several lieutenants who followed him: "Let you go and see who Wang Xiancheng from Jiangning has brought, you can find a way, one or two are here with big eyes and small eyes, we can have a difference with Cheng?" ”
One of them, Dan Fengyan, surnamed Huang, explained: "General Yu, there are people from Dali Temple outside this hall, you also saw it, we just went out a few steps, and we were persuaded to come back, can we still break through?" Qin Guoxi slapped his hand heavily on the armrest of the circle chair and said, "Bold! Later, the prime minister will ask, will General Ben also answer like this? Before his words fell, he suddenly heard Zheng Degang's voice coming from outside the door: "What made General Qin so annoyed, was it that Zheng's subordinates didn't take care of him?" ”
So saying, the man strode in from the outside. Qin Guoxi hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "What did Master Zheng say, Qin Mou came specifically to compensate Siqing, just now, he was offended in prison." Zheng Degang seemed to be a little displeased: "I also said that the general has something important, if it is just an apology, why come on the fourth watch, the general and other virtuous people don't need to sleep?" ”
Qin Guoxi heard the complaining meaning in Zheng Degang's words, and hurriedly said: "Alas, if it weren't for the urgent matter of burning his eyebrows, Qin would never have bothered three times or twice late at night." Isn't this the urgency of Prime Minister Shi Cheng, I can only come to the door again, please be considerate of Lord Zheng. Zheng Degang nodded, sat on the chair and said: "Then General Qin will convey the meaning of the prime minister to Zheng as soon as possible, Zheng received the words, so he should go back and make up for his sleep, so as not to be sleepy when he went to court, forget what to say and what not to say, and tell what he saw in the dungeon just now." ”
"You-" Qin Guoxi didn't expect Zheng Degang to expose his shortcomings so ruthlessly, he was a little annoyed for a while, but he pressed it down: "Lord Zheng, just now the prime minister read the documents of the conviction of the three divisions, and felt that the punishment was too heavy, so he discussed with Cao Kechun and Du Jinping overnight, and changed the documents. As he spoke, he handed over the yellow silk with the document to Zheng Degang.
Zheng Degang unfolded the paperwork, and saw that the official seals of Yushitai and Menxia Province had been stamped on it, and immediately said unhappily: "What does this mean?" Prime Minister Shi Cheng inevitably didn't take Dali Temple too seriously. Qin Guoxi had expected Zheng Degang to react like this, and hurriedly relieved: "Don't be too careful, the prime minister can't bear to ask adults to work hard in the middle of the night, so without the participation of Dali Temple, Lord Cao did it for him." But Lord Zheng, this document is a pardon of Lord Zhao's capital crime, isn't this the result you want? ”
"What kind of result do I want, don't I have to follow Prime Minister Shi's meaning?" Zheng Degang cross-examined: "Even so, I have never heard that the three divisions try the case, and Dali Temple is only responsible for stamping the official seal, and Prime Minister Shi Cheng is too good at dictatorship, General Qin, I said it well, right?" Zheng Degang threw this question to Qin Guoxi, he knew that as long as Qin Guoxi was forced to echo the situation at the moment, he naturally did not dare to pass this sentence on to Shi Miyuan.
Qin Guoxi grinned and smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, what Lord Zheng said is." When Zheng Degang heard this, he had no intention of teasing Qin Guoxi again, so he only read the documents drafted by Cao Kechun carefully, knowing that they had seen the wind and rudder, and punished Zhao Qingzhou lightly, which was indeed the result he wanted to see. Qin Guoxi saw that Zheng Degang had finished reading the paperwork, so he smiled and said, "Lord Zheng, please come quickly." When the official seal of Dali Temple fell, it was the day when Lord Zhao was spared death. ”
Zheng Degang smiled, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Come on, take the official seal." ”
