Chapter 40: Cover-up
Calm down, what do you have to say? Han Shanggong asked calmly.
Shake your head calmly.
This bureau is so cleverly arranged, she really has nothing to say, if the person concerned is not her, she really thinks that what they say is the truth.
"She has nothing to say, but General Ben has something to say." Sima Nan walked in from the outside.
Han Shanggong instantly changed into a big exclamation mark, the pestle was in place, and his eyes stopped moving.
Jiang Ming walked out of it, hurriedly made a series, and said eagerly: "General, the subordinate has an urgent matter to find you, let's go to the inner chamberlain and say, this is just a trivial matter between the ladies of the harem, how can you use the general to come forward to solve it." ”
"You go and wait for me in the inner warden, and I'll be back soon." Sima Nan put the sword in his hand on the table and sat on the chair.
The sound of the saber falling on the table made the bluffing women jump, and the timid woman had already begun to tremble.
"General, the facts of this matter are based, and the palace has also found out, no, don't bother the general." Han Shanggong stepped forward to salute and said with a trembling smile.
"There is poison in her room, is she the one who poisoned her? So according to the inference of Shanggong Niangniang, the Queen Mother and her old man are also suspicious? Sima Nan sneered.
"This palace doesn't dare" Han Shanggong hurriedly knelt down and hissed.
"Dare to ask Shanggong Niangniang, can General Ben's words be used as evidence?" Sima Nan's voice was as cold and merciless as ice.
Han Shanggong shuddered and nodded: "The general is full of words, of course your words are evidence." ”
Sima Nan nodded, his voice was still as cold as ice: "That's good, General Ben saw with his own eyes that the poison on the skirt was voted by this woman!" ”
Sima Nan grabbed the saber on the table and pointed at Zhang Sishe.
"Wronged! General! Zhang Sishe threw himself in front of Han Shanggong, hugged her legs, and shouted.
"Shanggong Niangniang, she said that I wronged her?" Sima Nan held the sword and said coldly.
"How could the general wronged her, since the general saw her poisoning with his own eyes, what else is there to say, come on, put Zhang Caixia in prison and wait for her to fall."
Han Shanggong said in a low voice.
Sima Nan stood up and walked out: "If you still need General Ben to testify, you can go to the inner prison to find me at any time." ”
Han Shanggong responded, got up in a hurry, and sent him out.
Turning back again, there was chaos in the wardrobe.
Zhang Sishe was holding scissors, trying to find calm and desperately, Liang Sizhi and the female history hugged her, shouting chaotically.
Seeing Han Shanggong walking back, he was silent, lowered his head and retreated to the side, only Zhang Sishe collapsed to the ground, crying.
"You killed, now that no one has stopped you, why don't you kill?" Han Shanggong said coldly.
Zhang Sishe pounced, hugged her legs, and cried bitterly: "Help, adult, it's not me who cast poison, it's really not my poison." ”
"Someone, drag her out." Han Shanggong said coldly.
A few little eunuchs came in and dragged Zhang Sishe out.
Liang Si was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Han Shanggong.
"Calm down, it's none of your business, get up, the division is now lacking, so you will replace it temporarily, and I will return to the queen mother, and then officially appoint."
Han Shanggong said softly.
Calmly thanked him and got up to leave.
"Lord Shanggong, how could the general see Zhang Caixia poisoning, this is obviously biased and calm!" Liang Si made an unwilling opening.
Han Shanggong stared at her and sneered: "Yes, the general is just partial and calm, you can reason with him." ”
"Although the general is powerful, he can't take care of the affairs of the harem, so I will find the queen mother to preside over justice." Liang Si made the road.
"Okay, you go and tell the Queen Mother that she is an old man, and we are intrigued in the Shang Palace, poisoning Aunt Guan's dress, and wanting to put Aunt Guan to death." Han Shanggong sneered: "Liang Huanxi, you have been a master for a long time, why are you still so unreminiscing?"
Some things can be told upward, and some things can't! Before committing to something, can you use your brain, first think about whether it will cause more trouble if you really do it. ”
Liang Siji lowered his head, his face was crimson, and he had nothing to say.
"You all listen to you, this matter is not allowed to be talked about, if the Queen Mother asks, she only says that Zhang Caixia did the wrong decoration used by the general to become a pro-family, so she will be convicted."
Han Shanggong had a serious face and commanded in a cold voice.
The women knelt down busily, and their faces were solemn.
Liang Sizhi sent her back to the Shang Palace, accompanied her carefully, and said with a smile: "My lord is really smart, in this way, according to the benevolence of the Queen Mother, Caixia will definitely be released." ”
"Don't make any more trouble, but if you are calm, what storm can you set off? If you all follow the rules and do your own business, even the Queen Mother has no reason to replace you, right?
No matter how much you make waves, be careful that this palace can't protect you! Han Shanggong sat down, took a sip of tea, and sighed heavily.
Liang Sizhi knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord, you are good for us, and Huanxi naturally understands in his heart that we have no complaints even if we die for Lord Shanggong, but this is calm, why is she the deputy director as soon as she comes in?" None of us have been in this position for ten or eight years. ”
Han Shanggong sighed and shook his head: "Idiot! What do we do? It's the master's son, the master wants to be developed alone, can he let her boil? As soon as you come in, you are the deputy director, can't you see what the intention is? ”
Liang Si took a breath of cold air: "Could it be that the Queen Mother wants her to be the secretary?" ”
Han Shanggong sneered: "Otherwise, you are all Adou who can't help upright, and you want to rob calmly, how can you be a small division!" ”
Liang Sizhi hid his face and exclaimed: "Could it be that she covets the position of the adult?" ”
Han Shanggong looked sad, drank all the tea in the cup, and sighed: "I have been in this position for a long time, and it is time to tell the old man to return to his hometown to enjoy the blessings, the Queen Mother has long promised me that after I retire, I will be allowed to leave the palace and return home."
I think it's time to go. ”
"My lord, don't, you are in the prime of life, and you are doing well, why did you have this idea of retreating? If you didn't protect us, how would we be in the future! Liang Sizhi cried.
Han Shanggong smiled bitterly: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, even if you are reluctant, there will always be a day of separation, as for the days to come, you can do it yourself." ”
"My lord, don't, I'll call Li Siyi and Zhao Yue over, and let's go to the Queen Mother together." Liang Siji cried and got up.
Han Shanggong took her hand and shook his head: "Fool, the Queen Mother already has a candidate in her heart, how can you change it?" ”
Liang Siji gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, don't worry, the position of Shang Palace is yours, and we won't watch you being replaced by others." ”
"Huanxi, don't say these useless words, in short, you have to do things well in the future, as the saying goes, the new official takes office with three fires, don't let her hold your handle."
Han Shanggong seemed to be earnest and instructed her to say a few words, and said that her brain hurt and she wanted to go back to her room to rest.
Liang Sizhi helped her in and lay down, and walked out with a strained face.
was meeting Li Siyi of the Si Catering Division and Zhao Yue of the Si Zhen Division walking back and forth together.
Liang Sizhi stopped them and told them what Han Shanggong had just said.
The two were also shocked.
"Impossible, in the past two days, I went to the Queen Mother's side to serve and eat, and I didn't hear the Queen Mother mention changing the candidates for the Shang Palace." Li Siyi shook his head.
"Lord Shang Gong has already said so, can there be any fake? Besides, since I came in calmly, I felt strange, our Shanggong Bureau has selected schoolchildren to train them by themselves over the years, and has never entered people from the outside out of thin air, unless it is a world-famous woman from a family, and it is only a year or two before leaving the palace. Zhao Yue said.
"Ah, when is it now, haven't you seen the situation just now, even the general is covering up for calmness, this woman is not simple, if she is really allowed to be Shanggong, we will not end well." Liang Siji stomped his feet and shouted.
"This is also true, we are all cultivated and supported by Lord Han Shanggong, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, if she really does Shanggong, she will definitely not reuse us." Li Si looked sad and said slowly.
"Why don't you reuse us, Zhang Sishe has already been arrested and put in prison. This is a living example! You're still thinking about dying well, dreaming! Liang Si said coldly.
"What then? Can't you just wait for death? Zhao Yue asked anxiously while tugging at the sleeve of Liang Si's coat.
Liang Si's eyes flowed, sharp and vicious, he cleared his throat and said in a dumb voice: "You must always strike first, it's a big deal to break the net!" ”
————————
The night was blurry, calmly returned to his room, cleaned his hands, and was about to take off his clothes to rest, when he turned around, he found Sima Nanduan sitting upright on the edge of the bed.
"The general's life-saving grace cannot be repaid by the slave and maid." Calmly stepped forward to salute, and his face was cold.
"I don't need you to repay the favor, what I want, you know." Sima Nan spoke hoarsely, staring at her face.
The calm expression was even more displeased: "In order to save your own woman, you will indiscriminately wronged an innocent person, and I don't dare to agree with the general's approach." ”
Sima Nan lowered his head, stared at his toes, and said in an empty voice: "I have been selfless for many years, and it is time to be selfish for myself a few times." ”
"The general should indeed stand up for the bride, if not, on the day of marriage, Aunt Guan is afraid that she will die." Calmly sat down in the chair, fiddled with his fingers, and said coldly.
"I'm not for her." Sima Nan was anxious to distinguish.
"The general will get married the day after tomorrow, is everything in order? If you still need anything, just tell the slave maid that the slave and maid entrust the general's blessing, and now the secretary is in charge of the department, and he can do some private work for the general. ”
Calm and cold.
Sima Nan bit his lip, tilted his head in frustration, and stared at her with angry eyes.
"General, it's not too early, the queen mother and her old man don't like the unclear relationship between men and women in the harem the most, and ask the general to leave, and the slaves and maids are going to rest."
Calm down and give the eviction order.
Sima Nan didn't move, but his eyes suddenly became bright like stars, and the corners of his mouth showed a slightly smug smile: "Calm down, you're jealous." ”
Calmly choked, and felt his face become hot.
She originally wanted to talk well.
But I don't know why, what I said turned into angry words.
She thought she would never believe the lies of these stinky men again.
But it turned out that her heart did not listen to her at all, and she still wanted to believe these lies very much.
