Chapter 102: Night Execution

"Brother Huang, this is Zhang Shiwen, the salt supervisor of Gongyi County, the word Zongxing, is the cousin of the younger brother, the third in the family, and he takes care of me, the third brother, this is Huang Gongzi from Beijing, and he has an old relationship with Lord Zeng, you take care of everyone, and the idle people can't wait to come close, I will accompany Huang Gongzi to meet Lord Zeng."

Watching a large group of forbidden army sergeants rush into the salt field in the middle of the night, Zhang Shiwen was shouted as soon as he fell asleep, and his face was still in a daze with a hangover, but he was very nervous, but after seeing Zhao Shi, his mood settled down, and the two families have always been friendly, although now he is a little afraid of this cousin he watched grow up, but after all, he has deliberately maintained a relative for all these years, and the affection is extraordinary, besides, his brother-in-law is still found by him personally, no matter what, he believes that his cousin will not make trouble for him.

A little surprised to Li Xuanjin hugged his fist, from his cousin's attitude, he could also see that this Huang Gongzi from Jingshi may not be simple, but he still couldn't let go of his heart, so he pulled Zhao Shi away from him for a while, and said in a low voice: "Shi, why are you bringing these people to the salt farm?" ”

Speaking of this, his eyes swept around the sturdy guys who were tied, and his expression became even more uneasy, "Stone, you have to tell the third brother the truth, did you catch the bandits again, why don't you send them here from the county?" I can tell you, the Zeng in it is the three envoys, do the three envoys know? How big does that have to be? Stretching out a little thumb is thicker than our waist, why didn't you go to the county a few days ago? People didn't say it, this is estimated to have a pimple in my heart, if I don't have time for you to hide, what's going on tonight? ”

Zhao Shi's heart warmed slightly, although this third brother is not very reliable, his temperament is also a little weak. But this concern is not half false, although I think so in my heart, but my face does not show half a point, but I just said in a deep voice: "The identity of this Huang Gongzi is not trivial, you pay attention carefully in front of him, and there will be endless benefits in the future, as for coming here tonight, it is too complicated to say." You don't need to know about the third brother, it's no good to know too much, just remember one thing, you shouldn't have seen what happened tonight, and then you can do whatever you want in front of the third envoy, send it away, I may have to enter Beijing in a few days, this trip is a little ...... You take care of my mother's place first. I'll pick it up when I'm settled down in Kyori.

Okay, I'll talk to you in detail later, tell the idlers and others to retreat, you go and show the way, and don't worry about anything else. ”

It's been a long time. Zhang Shiwen doesn't say anything to this cousin, it's not much worse, in his opinion, this cousin will be a person who will have a great future in the future. Now his reputation is already amazing, and the future is even more unlimited, and now he wants to go to Beijing, and his heart is not as high as he can compare, although his doubts can not dissipate at this time, but he can't care about that much, and he doesn't have any ideas, is it impossible to do it with his cousin at this time.

So he led it in front. I didn't dare to slack off on the Huang Gongzi in my cousin's mouth, and the politeness of his attitude was not in the face of the three envoys, "That is the temporary accommodation of the three envoys, and the lower officials can only accompany the prince here, you know, the three envoys are ......."

He didn't say everything, but everyone understood the meaning, Li Xuanjin smiled slightly. glanced back at Zhao Shi. But he patted Zhang Shiwen on the shoulder, "Lord Zhao." You cousin...... It's good, you'll have to take care of it in the future. ”

He can say this, relative to his identity, it is already very remarkable, as long as he, the king of Jing, has a stable position in the future, this sentence alone is enough for Zhang Shiwen to be used, in Zhang Shiwen didn't even dare to say it, Zhao Shiyi bowed his hand and bowed slightly, Li Xuanjin let Zhang Shiwen leave with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and meet this third envoy." ”

There is still a long way away, and it has already alarmed the guards guarding the door, these are the people of the house brought by Zeng Du from Beijing, saying that they are guards, in fact, most of them are some servants in the house, and they are followed to take care of Zeng Du's daily life, these people are not allowed to sit at the dinner party, Zhang Shiwen does not dare to treat these people badly, and the good wine and meat let a few stewards accompany them, and they also drank a lot, and reluctantly helped their adults back to rest, and the two people standing here were already eyelids straight down, and they fell asleep at the door, Otherwise, such a big movement would have been alarmed a long time ago, and no one would have come here to speak.

"What kind of person, stop, there are three envoys here, and I have alarmed you to look good." A swaying one has already come up.

Zhao Shi waved his hand according to the surrounding sergeants, these people immediately scattered in all directions, and surrounded the main entrance of the three-entry house, the two didn't pay much attention to it at first, such late-night visits are not uncommon along the way, maybe they are the officials who came to give gifts and go to the door, but in the faint firelight, a group of wolf-like sergeants ran back and forth, this kind of momentum startled the two people, the wine also woke up, and the drowsiness was gone, and the heart immediately picked it up, I had long heard that this Gongyi County was troublesome, Didn't these thieves pretend to be forbidden soldiers and enter the salt works?

Thinking of this, he was full of horror, he opened his mouth and was about to turn around to warn, but he turned around and was about to run away, but he heard a voice say: "Gongyi County Forbidden Army Lian Zhao Shi asks to see the third envoy Zeng. ”

When the man heard this, his body was certain, and then he turned around, and saw the two of them slowly stomping over, and then the fire saw that a person wearing a forbidden army uniform had already walked in front of him, and then he was a little relieved, "It's so late...... You're bringing so many people...... Adults are resting, and if you disturb them, you ....... ”

Zhao Shi didn't wait for him to finish, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, Zhaojiazhuang is making trouble, and the lower officials are here to protect the safety of the adults, well, by the way, I will introduce the adults to meet the individual, and it is okay to be troubled?" ”

As soon as the man heard this, his panic immediately disappeared, and his chest was raised, and he spoke unhurriedly as if the man just now was not him at all. "The adults are resting, you wait for tomorrow to come again, these soldiers have stayed to protect the safety of the adults, to say that this place in Gongyi County is not very good, and the big night will not let people stop, you can be careful, if it disturbs the adult's dream, go back to Beijing and say a word." Watch the hats on your heads......"

Naturally, these people didn't dare to be so ostentatious in Beijing, but after leaving Beijing, they were used to relying on Zeng Du's forces along the way, and they were arrogant when they spoke, as if they were the three envoys.

Before he could finish speaking, a gentle voice with a little arrogance had already interjected, "Once the earth was on the shelf, a servant under the door dared to open his mouth in front of the court officials. It really makes people see his majesty. ”

The man was talking about happiness, but when someone interjected such a sentence, his face sank, and he didn't look at who it was, so he scolded. "Whoever is talking, and doesn't take a mirror to look at your face, what are you, dare to ......"

Speaking of which. Then the light of the torch came, and a man was already standing in front of him, looking a little familiar, but before he could see it clearly, the man had already raised his hand and slapped it, with a crisp sound. He spun around in place, and his ears sounded like bells and drums.

Where did this person suffer this loss, when he was in Beijing, the Zeng family had a clear name, and he was extremely strict with his subordinates, but when he left Beijing, even Zeng Du himself was a little unable to control it, and he still expected him to restrain these arrogant subordinates? This man was slapped in the face. When you open your mouth, you have to start scolding. didn't think about it, the one next to him was honest just now, and the forbidden army slapped him. According to his face, there was another slap, this time it was much heavier than the previous one, to say that it was just a slap just now, then this one can only be described as a smash, a slap has already slapped it sideways to the ground, and the brain buzzed, and the whole person immediately fainted.

Li Xuanjin was also stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Shi to be so ruthless, as if he didn't have any scruples at all, and slapped a big living person to the ground, how much strength is this?

Without waiting for him to think too much, Zhao Shi sneered: "These subordinates don't have a long memory, I believe that when I see Lord Zeng, I won't be so difficult to speak, Brother Huang, please." ”

Another person in front of the door had already gone in to report the news, plus all the people were sleeping on the ground at this time, the two of them went all the way unhindered, straight into the inner hall, Zeng Du came out with the support of the next person, still looking like a hangover and did not wake up, saw the two of them, Zhao Shi held a torch, illuminated Li Xuanjin's surroundings, Zeng Du glanced at it, was stunned, and then wiped his eyes, as if he didn't believe that he would see Li Xuanjin here, and then excited, pushed the underground people who were still waiting to be scolded, and fell to the ground with a plop, " Xia Guan once saw His Royal Highness King Jing. ”

Looking at his disheveled wolf appearance, and the honest and self-disciplined appearance when he was in Beijing, Li Xuanjin, who was still holding back the fire, was happy, "Lord Zeng, we have a good fate, we can meet here, I really responded to that sentence, and we are destined to meet thousands of miles away." ”

Zeng Du was also shocked, coupled with his dizzy head, he felt a little unsure whether this was Jingshi or Gongyi County, and after hearing this, he followed Li Xuanjin's words and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the lower officials have never greeted him from afar, and I ask His Royal Highness for forgiveness." ”

"Forgiveness?" Thinking of the grievances with the father and son, Li Xuanjin gritted his teeth and was happy, and his tone was even more cold, "I came here to ask Lord Zeng for my sin, and I haven't asked yet, what kind of crime do you forgive?" Could it be that Lord Zeng knew that he was guilty? ”

As soon as he said this, Zeng Du was a little confused, he knew that his father and son had offended His Royal Highness King Jing ruthlessly, but he didn't expect to meet this here, what handle did he have to hold him? Thinking back to the way out of Beijing, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and if he was guilty, he didn't need to ask King Jing, thinking of this, he felt at ease, and saw that this person didn't mean to get up at all, he is now a member of the third grade of the imperial court, and he is no longer the little official of the Ministry of Rites who was going to kneel down when he saw someone, even if the other party is a prince, he can't play him like this, and his heart is also angry, at this time, he is also completely sober, raised his head and asked: "What Zeng Du did when he went out of Beijing is a business matter, Even if you are guilty, you will be investigated, not the land that Your Highness said. ”

"Business? It's a good business, is it also a business to assassinate this king? Throughout the ages, the only ill-intentioned minister is you, if it weren't for the vigilance of this king, there would be Lord Zhao by his side. Maybe you'll get away with it, that's what you're talking about? ”

Without waiting for the other party to take a breath, he turned around and said, "Lord Zhao, bring those assassins to me and show Master Zeng, is it that after one night, he doesn't recognize the people around him?" ”

Zhao Shi's voice was quiet and cold, "Your Highness, this is not the place to speak. I think it's better to go to the main hall and talk about it, I believe that Master Zeng will not not come to the land. ”

Zeng Du heard Li Xuanjin say that when someone assassinated him, the sudden blow made his whole brain buzz, and the first thought was that this prince was framed, and when he heard it again, it turned out to be someone around him, and he panicked so much, assassinating the king and killing him. It is a great crime against the heavens, that is, it is planted to stolen it, and this dirty seems to be planted strong enough. These dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren are really vicious to the bones.

He is also a character who has been trained in officialdom, and the color of panic is only fleeting, and then he fell silent, this is Gongyi County. It's not the court, it's useless to argue, and I immediately have a plan in my heart, at this time, a thousand words are not as good as a silence, I don't know that King Jing was out of Beijing, and he came to Gongyi County, where to start the assassination, maybe someone made a fuss about this matter. It's just that he was caught up by himself, after the shock, his mind turned, and his mind gradually became clear, if King Jing ran so far, just to plant himself such a crime, it seems that he can't say anything, things are not as simple as imagined. After returning to Beijing. As long as you try your best to discern, you will be fine. If King Jing is caught by something at this time, and there are others next to him, even if His Royal Highness King Jing is not for anything else, for the sake of the previous grievances, he is willing to put this matter on his own ground, right? That's the end of everything.

Thinking of this, he glanced up at Zhao Shi beside Li Xuanjin, stood up silently, and followed behind Li Xuanjin, but he didn't plan to say a word.

After a while, a few guys who came in the middle of the night had already been brought into the main hall, and even the junior who was waiting to withdraw at any time was among them.

Swinging everyone out, Li Xuanjin glanced at Zeng Du obliquely, pointed at Cheng Ke and said, "Can Lord Zeng know this person?" ”

Zeng Du saw so many people being brought in, all of them had blue noses, swollen faces and blurred flesh and blood, and his heart was already cold, and the faces of two of them were not out of shape yet, he naturally recognized the place, but was it the sergeant of the forbidden army in front of the palace who guarded him? As for Cheng Kun, although he looks ugly now, he can recognize them carefully, these people are nothing, they are the forbidden army in front of the palace, they were sent by the Ministry of War, and they can be pushed to the Ministry of War when they go back, but one of them is the guard in his house, although he has not been in his house for a long time, but his kung fu is very good, and the person who introduced him is also an old man in the house, how did he become an assassin here?

Seeing Zeng Du's face change color, Li Xuanjin smiled coldly and said: "Lord Zeng suddenly got a high position, the spring breeze is tight, your father and son also have a clear name in Beijing, but they didn't think about it but did such a yin thing, this king knows, I can't tell you here, I came so late, I also want to tell Lord Zeng, don't do those meaningless things in the future, hurry back to Beijing and go to Dali Temple to listen to the investigation."

Also, your retinue has been left behind by this king, and this king wants to see if the people inside are in order, and whether there are still some evil people hidden. ”

After speaking, he ignored the pale Zeng Du, stood up, and walked out without looking back, Zhao Shi called in again, got these people out, and waited for the noisy footsteps to go away, Zeng Du came to his senses, ah, stood up suddenly, glanced around blankly, stomped his feet, and began to shout loudly, "Quick, quick, get me pen and ink." ”

Most of the people have woken up at this time, most of them don't know what happened in a daze, those palace front division forbidden soldiers have been dragged out of the bed by a group of wolf-like sergeants in their sleep and tied up, originally at the beginning, Li Xuanjin was thinking that he would not save any dignity for Zeng Du at all, and take all the people under him clean, but then he thought about it, in this way, it was a little more domineering, after all, the other party was a member of the imperial court, and the imperial lawsuit had not yet been fought, if he did so, it was inevitable to give people a handle, At that time, it was also a trouble, so he let the others go, and only took the sergeants from the Beijing division clean.

Even so, the entire salt field is also boiling against the sky, these masters from Beijing don't know what they have done, where they are willing to comply, it is inevitable that there will be a stiff exit in the middle, or try to resist, where will Zhao Shi's subordinates be polite, no head and no face is a fist and foot down, and then drag people away like a dead dog, the scene is really lively.
