Chapter 14: What Do You Call Me to Do?
Shi Wushuang also felt that the burden on Jiang Chuge's shoulders was too heavy, but he didn't know what the disaster that the master referred to in his last words was, and how to prevent or resolve it?
Even though he wanted to help Jiang Chuge, he couldn't do anything about it, and could only give her some verbal comfort and encouragement.
In the face of the world's peerless persuasion, Jiang Chuge knew that he was doing it for his own good.
She never wanted others to worry about herself, so she had to suppress her surging emotions, and pulled a smile at him, saying, "I have completely offended King Yi last night, he ......"
"You don't have to worry, I've been there before I came, and he won't delve into what happened last night......"
At this point, a trace of thought flashed in the eyes of the world's peerless and unadulterated people, and after a long silence, Fang continued: "My suggestion is that you go and apologize to him. After all, although the matter started by him, you have scolded him, and he also caused the back wound to open here in order to save you, and the injury deteriorated sharply, and the high fever did not wake up until this morning, and his life was almost lost. If you go and apologize and cancel each other out, this should be the case. ”
Although Qin Ying was seriously injured and had a high fever, it was not to the point of almost losing his life.
Shi Wushuang deliberately made the situation serious, but it was just to offset Jiang Chuge's resistance to apologizing to Qin Ying.
After all, she was not wrong in this matter, but one of the two had to bow his head first, and Jiang Chuge was obviously at a disadvantage.
"Okay, I'll go."
Although Jiang Chuge didn't know that the world was exaggerating Qin Ying's situation, he also guessed a little bit of his thoughts.
For Qin Ying's sake, she almost died, so she would be the one who bowed her head first.
Jiang Chuge saw that there was a third person present, and it was Qin Ying's second brother King Qi, so he just thought that Qin Ying deliberately wanted to make her lose face.
She retracted her gaze, took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and knelt down in front of Qin Ying: "Lord Yi, Jiang Chuge knows that last night's behavior was really the following crime, and it is unforgivable, I have come to ask you for my guilt today, no matter how the prince wants to punish Jiang Chuge, Jiang Chuge is willing." ”
Even though there was a unique psychological relief in front of him, and he came voluntarily, after seeing that there was a third person in the room, Jiang Chuge also felt humiliated in his heart.
The hand hidden in the sleeve, the newly grown nails that had not yet had time to be trimmed had already pierced the palm, but the pain was less than one-ten-thousandth of the heartache.
Since she was a child, she has never even knelt down to her parents, but after coming to the Wind Fantasy Continent for some reason, she has no dignity and helplessness to bend her knees to others again and again.
"Jiang Chuge ......"
You know I can't do anything to you.
"Well, get up, I'm not going to bother with you."
Qin Ying closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to suppress the complex emotions that were surging in his heart.
He could feel that Jiang Chuge was angry with him, and he didn't want to make the already incompatible relationship between the two more and more stiff.
"Thank you for your innocence."
Jiang Chuge kowtowed to him, made the etiquette thorough, and returned face to him as implied in the words of the world's unequaled words.
Qin Yiqi, who was acting as a transparent person on the side, had a trace of solemnity and helplessness in his eyes.
At this time, it seemed that his fourth brother was in the driver's seat, but the person who actually bowed his head was his fourth brother.
He always thought that with his fourth brother's ability, he could easily capture a woman's heart.
But now it seems that Jiang Chuge is really not interested in his fourth brother.
How good is that?
With this episode, Jiang Chuge would never appear in front of him as long as he could avoid contact with Qin Ying.
Even Qin Yiqi, the third person who was present that day, became the target of her evasion.
At this time, she had already made up her mind to wait until the Yongzhou case was over, and as soon as she returned to Didu, she would ask the court to resign.
This deep-water officialdom and complicated royal family are not what she should provoke.
With the death of "Zhou Duan", everything in Yongzhou seems to have calmed down and entered the final stage.
Because he was unwilling to deal with Qin Ying, Jiang Chuge borrowed six thousand taels of silver tickets from Wushuang in the same world, and then changed into men's clothes and went to Wanhualou.
Because of the reason that "Jiang Gongzi" spent a lot of money for Su Li, the old bustard began to refuse to let go, and Jiang Chuge made her relieved after a lot of coercion and temptation.
After some bargaining, Jiang Chuge finally ransomed Su Li at the cost of five thousand taels of silver tickets, and handed over the remaining one thousand taels to her, so that she could start her life smoothly.
The hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, fearing that the remnants of the Zhou Duan would attack Su Li who provided evidence, Jiang Chuge took Su Li to the largest dart game in the city, Tongwei Dart Bureau.
She reached a cooperation with the deputy dart head of Tongwei Dart Bureau and signed a dart list.
She paid six hundred taels of silver tickets, and the Tongwei Dart Bureau was responsible for sending Su Li safely to any place Su Li wanted to go within three hundred miles of Yongzhou City.
Su Li was grateful, and handed over to Jiang Chuge all the incriminating evidence about Zhou Duan collected by his father Su Wei, as well as some of Zhou Duan's henchmen that she had collected scattered over the years.
Subsequently, she bit her finger and wrote a bloody letter of lawsuit, which was forwarded to Qin Ying by asking Jiang Chuge.
Jiang Chuge agreed, and she went to Yongfeng Qianzhuang, which was closest to the dart store, to take five hundred taels of silver tickets and pay them to the dart bureau.
The dart bureau collected the silver ticket, and at her request, Dengshi arranged for someone to escort Su Li out of Yongzhou City.
After sending Su Li away, Jiang Chuge returned to the post house with a burden of evidence given by Su Li.
happened to meet Qin Yiqi's master and servant who were about to go out at the door of the post house, each carrying a burden and holding a long sword, Jiang Chuge bowed and saluted.
Qin Yiqi stopped in front of her, approached her, and lowered his voice in her ear: "Temper with Qin Ying, there's no need to even take me with you, right?" ”
"There is no such thing, Lord Qi, you must have misunderstood."
Jiang Chuge responded politely with a sincere face.
The corners of Qin Yiqi's mouth twitched, yes, I don't admit it yet!
After apologizing to his fourth brother in the morning, he met her twice around noon, and she walked around him, so what if he didn't see it?
He was sure that if this encounter hadn't been so sudden, she would have avoided it again!
"That's it, you two toss slowly, the chaos in Yongzhou has come to an end, and this king has to continue to go to the mountains and rivers~"
Qin Yiqi's tail voice raised slightly, and he waved his hand in a dashing manner, no matter how Jiang Chuge reacted, he left directly, and Wu Zhong hurriedly followed his pace.
The master and servant went to the horses that had been prepared outside the inn, and soon disappeared.
Jiang Chuge pursed his lips secretly, as if what had just happened had not happened, and calmly stepped inside.
didn't go far, but at the corner of a corridor and Shi Wushuang faced each other, Jiang Chuge was about to speak, but Shi Wushuang was one step ahead of her.
"Jiang Chuge, I left some things in your room, maybe it can be useful to you. In addition, I still have an unfinished agreement with Bailihong, and I have to go,"
Obviously, Shi Wushuang knew about Qin Yiqi's departure.
"Well, thank you, I owe you the silver ticket......"
"What is owed or not? After all, it's the entire Wind Fantasy Continent ......"
At this point, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, paused, and then changed the conversation and said: "The six thousand taels of silver tickets should be a little compensation for you, you ...... Take care of yourself. ”
In the last half of the sentence, Shi Wushuang's tone was quite emotional and profound.
Obviously, Jiang Chuge did not understand the deep meaning contained in it.
She just nodded lightly, said "Have a good trip", and then disappeared.
Seeing her like this, Shi Wushuang sighed in his heart.
For the first time, he seriously thought about it, was it right or wrong to introduce Jiang Chuge into the Didu in the first place?
After Shi Wushuang left, Jiang Chuge went to the study, and through the guards guarding the door, he presented all the evidence in the baggage into the room, and then returned to the room where she lived.
On the round table in the room was a letter and two jade bottles, one green and one white.
Jiang Chuge put away the jade bottle, and then opened the envelope, and the elegant and agile calligraphy of Shi Wushuang as he himself suddenly came into view.
Then, he picked up the wolf on the table and wrote several letters one after another.
After stamping the seal of the Criminal Department, he sent someone to exchange for Tang Zhenggang, and ordered him to send seven teams of men and horses to carry official documents to seven of the thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou to arrest the officials involved in the official documents, and temporarily take over the important local military and political affairs.
If you resist, kill on the spot!
In the thirteen counties of Yongzhou, more than half of the counties have a large number of officials in important positions who have engaged in illegal activities in the same period.
If you don't set a standard and punish severely, the legacy will be endless!
Tang Zhenggang took the order and left.
However, one or three groups of soldiers were supposed to return early the next morning, but no one returned until dusk, and no news came back.
Tang Zheng just sensed that something was wrong, and for fear of being blamed, he didn't dare to report it, so he led a team of soldiers out of the city and went in the direction of the team of Yecheng who were the closest to Yongzhou City.
Once he was gone, he was never seen again.
Liu Bo, a subordinate official who was left by Tang Zhenggang to temporarily replace him, saw that things had changed, and he no longer dared to conceal the delay, so he immediately rode a fast horse towards the post house.
The guard at the gate of the post house saw that he looked anxious, and heard that he had an urgent military situation, so he led him straight towards the post house without informing him.
Qin Ying was busy in the study, and a guard hurriedly walked inside: "Lord Wang, Captain Tang's subordinate officer is asking to see outside, saying that there is an urgent military situation to report. ”
"Let him in!"
Qin Ying was already wondering why Tang Zhenggang had not come to report the preliminary situation until this time, and when he suddenly heard this news, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Before long, a middle-aged man in armor stepped inside, knelt down on one knee in front of the desk, lowered his head and bowed his hand: "The last general will see the prince!" Lord Wang, Captain Tang personally led his troops out of the city yesterday evening, and he has not returned yet. ”
"What did he do when he went out of the city?"
Qin Ying's brows furrowed slightly, this news really surprised him.
"Captain Tang sent seven teams of men according to your orders, if everything went well, there should have been news back early yesterday morning......"
Liu Bo told Qin Ying everything that had happened.
Qin Ying listened, his expression gradually became solemn, and the aura around his body was cold and low, which invisibly made Liu Bo, who was kneeling, feel great pressure.
There was a deathly silence in the study.
I don't know how long this situation lasted, just as Qin Ying was about to speak, the city guard in armor suddenly shouted, "Oh no", rushed into the room in a panic, and knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang, it's fenced, Yongzhou City is surrounded by anti-thieves!" ”
"Tell me about the specifics?"
Qin Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold and dangerous cold glow burst out of his eyes, and his already cold momentum became more and more cold and permeating.
He was still seated in a wooden chair behind his desk.
He is so calm, one is because of his bearing and courage.
The second is that after Liu Bo entered the door to report that Tang Zhenggang had just gone out and did not return, and there was no news, he faintly had some bad guesses.
The words of a soldier are but a confirmation of them.
"Yes."
Qin Ying's cold voice was like winter ice, and it froze the soldier to calm down.
He swallowed his saliva, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, outside the four gates of Yongzhou City, a large number of organized troops appeared almost at the same time. After identification and analysis, it was found that the situation was different except for the south gate, and the commanders and generals were all from the counties under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. ”
"Who is leading the troops outside the South Gate?"
The rebels appeared outside the gates of the Four Cities at almost the same time, which shows the ability of the plotters behind them.
And outside the South City Gate, where the situation is different, the person leading the troops is most likely the one who planned it.
And the soldier's answer next completely confirmed his guess.
"I don't know, but the man is not wearing armor, just a blue shirt."
The generals sent by Tang Zhenggang to lead the troops to defend the four cities were all available, and Qin Ying ordered Liu Bo to immediately return to the camp and lead five hundred soldiers to check the situation at the three gates of the east, west and north.
