Extraneous Burning Pearl (8)
Everyone looks at it whether you have suffered or not, but it is not something you can show in a word. Especially the one who spoke was her, the county lord of Qingyang. made a fire, and let people grab two diners who looked unpleasant and brought them aside, ready to kill chickens and monkeys with a cane.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped only halfway through.
"Lord Qingyang, why do you want to take the lives of innocent people again?"
There are few people who dare to stop the county lord of Qingyang, and there are few in Chang'an City: this one in front of him is one of them.
The lady who dared to take the initiative with Qingyang County.
"Behind his back, the county lord still has to fight?" The county lord of Qingyang sneered, "Zhang Mingzhu, if you want to come out, why don't you come and suffer this cane punishment for them?" ”
"The sticks of the Qingyang County Lord can't hit me." Miss Zhang's expression was gentle, and she said, "The county lord might as well enter the palace and invite the holy decree to come again." ”
The county lord of Qingyang glanced at her coldly for a moment, his eyes were cold, and after a while, he turned around: "Let's go!" ”
"Wait!" The eldest lady Zhang who stopped her suddenly stopped her, looked at the county lord of Qingyang for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The county lord is dressed like this, but he is going to live in a small garden on the outskirts of the city?" ”
"It's not about you!"
"There have been many thunderstorms in the past two days, and the suburban garden is at a high place, and the county lord still rarely runs to such places, and there are not a few accidents during thunderstorms in previous years." Miss Zhang's tone was calm and gentle, and she persuaded bitterly.
"Don't bother!" The county lord of Qingyang turned over and got on his horse, and more than a dozen riders knocked down a few vendors on the street and then flew away.
The vendors who were hit complained bitterly, but they were much better off than the diners who nearly lost their lives. Qingyang County mainly kills and beats people, all acting according to mood, and it is a blessing to be able to pass by her and live well.
The two diners who were lucky enough to pick up a life did not come back to their senses until this time, and after looking around, they saw that Miss Zhang, who had saved their lives, had already left.
"What a bully!" Some diners couldn't help but mutter.
When this Miss Zhang first came back, many people thought that this was another reckless master, but now it seems that she is just a poor person who has been bullied, and even the eldest lady of the Zhang family has to be bullied, let alone them?
"yes, that's a bully." Someone sighed.
The diners looked up to see a group of young men in the robes of the national eunuch coming down from the upper floor.
"That...... That ......" someone pointed to the young man who stood out the most, "That is the ninth son of the Cui family, who is going to go on a scientific examination this year, and the young lady who had a marriage contract with him before was also killed by the main staff of Qingyang County." ”
"Oh!" The diner nodded suddenly, no wonder he also lamented that the county lord of Qingyang was bullying people! O Lord who has fallen to the end of the world and who has been bullied together!
There are many people, and the topic changes quickly, and when I mention the son of the Cui family, I think of something else.
"But this son of the Cui family is about to go on the scientific examination, why don't you stay at home and still appear here?"
"People are so full of bamboo, do you think you can go on the scientific examination just by holding the Buddha's feet temporarily?"
……
The chatter of the diners was forgotten, and the group of young Guozijian students left the restaurant.
"Cui Jing." A master and a servant came to meet him. The young man with a folding fan handed the book in his hand to the scholar on the side and walked over.
Cui Jing and a few classmates around him turned their heads and whispered a few words, and then walked aside with him.
"Wang Xu." He opened his mouth and called.
"You see?" Wang Xu sighed, and tapped the folding fan on his forehead, looking helpless, "I heard that the main director of Qingyang County rushed over when he heard that you were here." How? She's bullying again? ”
"It's Miss Zhang who bullies people." Cui Jing thought for a while and said seriously, "Watching the fierce and vicious county lord of Qingyang being toyed with by the pitiful-looking Miss Zhang, do you say it's funny?" ”
Wang Xu smiled, but he was noncommittal to his words, but asked him rhetorically: "Isn't it true that the lord of Qingyang County harms people?" ”
"It's true." Cui Jing nodded and said, "This will not be because Miss Zhang was not killed, so she denies what the county lord of Qingyang did." ”
"That's not it." Wang Xu took the folding fan and nodded it in the palm of his hand, "So it's still the county lord of Qingyang who bullies people." ”
"No, it's Miss Zhang." The two of them talked back and forth today, but the two people who spoke were happy to do it and understood it.
Cui Jing said: "Ordinary people can die several times under the tricks of the county lord of Qingyang, not only is she unharmed, but she also saw that the lord of Qingyang county has no fear, Qingyang County takes the initiative, but no matter the means or scheming, it is far from Miss Zhang's opponent, but she is led by the nose." ”
"Miss Zhang is indeed not an ordinary boudoir woman, what she wants should be far from what a woman wants." Cui Jing said.
Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled: "That's also a helpless thing, she was bullied and came to the door, you don't know, she asked her grandfather to help intercede." ”
"I heard that it was Wang Situ who advised His Majesty not to care too much about the girls' plays." Cui Jing said, seemingly a little surprised, "I didn't expect it to be Wang Situ who she took the initiative to find, I thought it was Wang Situ who took the initiative." ”
"Because Miss Zhang thinks that my grandfather looks kind." When Wang Xu said this, he couldn't help laughing, "Grandfather went back and asked me several times if he really looked so kind."
Cui Jing glanced up at him, obviously questioning the truth of this sentence.
Wang Xu laughed, disappreciated, and said, "It's true, so grandfather thinks she's very interesting." ”
Interesting?
Cui Jing snorted and agreed: "She is very smart, and it is not in vain that Master Zhang spoils her so much." My grandfather said that if Master Zhang was still like before, something would happen to the Zhang family sooner or later, but he didn't expect that there would be an anomaly now. ”
"How can you not be dusted in the world?" Wang Xu seemed to be a little emotional, "The Zhang family has not been the reclusive family since they came out of the mountain, no matter how they ignore mundane things and often walk by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet?" ”
"What do you say today......" Cui Jing seemed a little surprised.
Wang Xu said: "It was my grandfather who said it." He doesn't have such a feeling, young people always look at the present first, and it is not yet time to look back on the past.
"Wang Situ's words are naturally reasonable." Cui Jing paused as she spoke, "But it's not a way for her to let Wang Situ come forward, if she can't convince Old Heavenly Master Zhang...... There are many things that others can't solve. ”
In fact, Miss Zhang, like them, is dependent on her family, but it is also imprisoned. Gains and losses always complement each other, and Master Zhang disagrees, and she can't act as recklessly as she is alone in many things.
"I believe she should have persuaded Master Zhang." Wang Xu said, as if recalling something, "Miss Zhang has a three-inch tongue that is not rotten. ”
……
Miss Zhang, who has a three-inch tongue, is playing against Master Zhang at this time.
"Have you had enough of the trouble outside?" Old Master Zhang dropped a white seed on the chessboard and spoke, "Do you think the old man's illness can be delayed for a long time?" ”
"So, is grandfather willing to intervene?" The girl looked up at him.
Old Heavenly Master Zhang frowned: "What you have been doing outside these days, your father has told the old man, Qingyang has been looking for your trouble?" ”
"Because my Zhang family insists on pursuing it to the end, it has touched the interests of the Southwest Hou, and she is the favor of the Southwest Hou, so she naturally wants to find me trouble." The girl smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, grandfather, I can hide." ”
"No matter how powerful you are, there will always be times when you miss, what kind of person Qingyang is, we know better than you." Old Heavenly Master Zhang seemed to have obvious displeasure on his face.
Although, these days, there are some contradictions between him and Mingzhu'er, but in the end, it is the child he raised in the palm of his hand, who has been bullied so many times and twice, and it is her ability to escape it, but the other party is so ruthless, she really doesn't look at Zhang's feelings at all!
"So grandfather ......" The girl grabbed his sleeve and shook it slightly, her tone softened, with a little pleading, "Mingzhu'er is bullied, don't you care?" ”
Many things, on the verge of life and death, she saw more clearly, and also understood her grandfather's thoughts and persistence, even if some views were different, but she was a pearl, a pearl that her grandfather loved the most, and her grandfather would not take anything seriously.
"This game of chess, once you intervene, it will put the Zhang family in danger, do you understand?" Old Heavenly Master Zhang sighed faintly, "I know what you want to say, I remember what you said last time." It's just that the troubled waters of the court are not something that can be easily set foot in. And now we stand up, which is equivalent to tearing off the whitewashed mask with the southwest. ”
"Grandfather, they were the first to strike, and the other party has already attacked us, do we still have to let others slaughter us?" The girl spread out her palms, and two chess pieces, one black and one white, appeared in her palms, "Grandfather is used to white chess, but he forgot that black chess is inherently opposed to us, and there is no way to do this." What I want is the inheritance of my Zhang family from beginning to end, I don't want to die, the Zhang family doesn't want to die, we didn't do anything wrong, why die? ”
"It's not really black and white like a chess game." The girl said, "We have always cultivated yin and yang for the balance of yin and yang, and the truth in this world is the same, it is inseparable from the word balance. ”
Old Heavenly Master Zhang watched her and fell silent.
The girl stood up and bowed down to Master Zhang: "Grandfather can come forward if he wants to!" She turned around and walked towards the door, but stopped again when she reached the door, "Today I met the county lord of Qingyang again, I don't know what bad idea she is going to make to harm me." ”
Early in the morning of the second day, the news that the eldest lady of the Zhang family was taken to the palace by a team of forbidden troops spread all over Chang'an City in an instant.
"What's going on?" Some of the people who got up late and didn't have time to see that scene were eagerly inquiring.
"Last night, the county lord of Qingyang was killed by lightning in the annex outside the city......"
"God has eyes!" Before the people could hear this, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Good! ”
"Okay, yes, but because yesterday during the day, didn't the county lord of Qingyang meet Miss Zhang, didn't Miss Zhang tell the county lord of Qingyang to 'don't go to the other garden' or 'be struck by lightning' or something in front of everyone at that time...... I heard that it was sued in front of His Majesty, and it was said that it was suspected that Miss Zhang had used methods to harm people! ”
"What a shame! I was also present at the time, Miss Zhang clearly asked the county lord of Qingyang not to go to the other courtyard, she wanted to go herself, she didn't listen to the Zhang family, she was killed by lightning, who is to blame? ”
"Everyone understands the truth, but it's not the Qingyang County Lord who is dead now, I heard that the Empress Dowager Yanli insists on asking Her Majesty to give an explanation for the death of the Qingyang County Lord, and this is what was mentioned at today's court meeting."
"How do you explain this?" The people were filled with indignation when they heard this, "If you are looking for your own death, do you still want Miss Zhang to pay for the life of the Qingyang County Lord who killed a thousand knives?" ”
"You be quiet, let Miss Zhang pay for her life...... Maybe that's what they think! ”
"What can I do?"
"Don't worry, the Heavenly Master has also entered the palace."
"That's right, Miss Zhang is not an ordinary person, can the Heavenly Master not come forward at this time?"
"I heard that the Heavenly Master entered the palace with Mr. Zhang Ludao's spirit card!"
The people were suspicious, but the courtiers saw with their own eyes this farce that caused strife. The girl who was brought into the temple stood up after bowing neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The etiquette is impeccable, after all, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.
Empress Dowager Yanli, who was sitting next to His Majesty, was the first to ask: "Is Qingyang's death your hands and feet?" What a daring! What is the difference between the abuse of yin and yang to harm others and those evil people who stir up trouble? Do you think that if you use yin-yang to kill people, the court will not be able to find out? ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was aggressive, almost believing that it was her hand.
The girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but an old voice outside the hall sounded at this time: "Such a trumped-up charge, forgive me Zhang for not accepting it!" ”、
It's the voice of Master Zhang! After months of illness, the Heavenly Master finally appeared.
In the end, the girls' jokes eventually evolved into a game between the Zhang family and the Queen Mother.
Emperor Mingzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, opened his mouth to summon him into the hall.
When he saw the spirit card in the hand of Old Heavenly Master Zhang, there was a slight sensation in the hall.
Old Master Zhang knelt down, and when he raised his head, he was already in tears, and his voice was sad: "My Zhang family is bright and upright, adhering to the ancestral teachings, Yin and Yang in hand only save people and do not kill, if the Queen Mother really believes that my Zhang family uses Yin and Yang to harm people, then please refute my Zhang identity, and allow my Zhang family to return to the old house in Jinan!" ”
The girl who was standing also knelt down beside Master Zhang.
After being wronged, he is going to resign and return! The faces of the crowd changed dramatically. This is a grievance, this is clearly persecution in disguise!
If it is really a bully, it does not necessarily need to be beaten and scolded, and sometimes the bullying with tears makes people have nothing to say. Let the Zhang family return to the old house at this time? No matter how much Emperor Mingzong endures, this is also unbearable.
"Queen Mother, please be careful." Emperor Mingzong glanced at the unpredictable Empress Dowager Yanli, personally stepped off the dragon chair, walked to Zhang Lao Tianshi's side and helped the person up, "Great Heavenly Master, rest assured!" How the Zhang family is, I see it in my eyes, and I will definitely not use yin and yang to harm people. ”
Do you know that you still let Queen Yanli make such a farce of arresting people? The Zhang family doesn't make a fuss, don't you know yet?
The girl stood up and heard Emperor Mingzong ask her, "Zhang Mingzhu, how did you know that Qingyang would encounter thunder when she went to the other garden outside the city?" ”
The girl's voice sounded in the temple.
"Your Majesty, Qingyang County mainly goes to live in the other garden outside the city, there have been many thunderstorms in the past few days, and the main punishment of thunder is very heavy, and it is difficult to hide in case of thunder, it is not suitable to go to a high place, and it is suitable for living indoors."
This sounds like no problem, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that this is almost a clear saying that there are too many people in Qingyang County, and it really caused thunder and thunder. It's obviously explaining, and everyone understands the explanation, but I don't know why it sounds weird, I always feel that there is something in her words.
"The little girl calculated that the county lord of Qingyang had a catastrophe in the past two days, so she specially told the county lord of Qingyang about it and asked her not to go to live in another garden, but she didn't persuade her after all!" She raised her head as she spoke, her eyes reddening, "It's the little girl who didn't persuade the county lord much." ”
The words are true, and the deeds are not wrong. It is strange that the temperament of the county lord of Qingyang will listen to Miss Zhang's words, so persuasion is also in vain.
This is the end of a farce. When the courtiers were still lamenting the evil consequences of the Qingyang County Lord's disobedience, the eyes of the old lady Wang had already fallen on the two granddaughters standing in the hall.
Zhang Lao Tianshi really appeared, it seems that she really persuaded Zhang Lao Tianshi.
God, it's starting to change!
