Chapter 167: The underground passage of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau
Hearing this, Hua Zhen's expression was slightly condensed, and she glanced out of the car: "Now it's time to meet with Grandfather Ning." ”
"Then what is the county lord doing in the Zhenwei Dart Bureau?" Jiang Fu was puzzled when he heard this.
Hua Zhen looked at Jiang Fu and knew that Aunt Zhou was afraid that she hadn't told her something, so she just said softly: "You will naturally understand." ”
After speaking, leaning on the wheel, I don't say much.
Jiang Fu knew that she didn't want to speak, so she immediately shut up.
The people of Zhenwei Dart Bureau saw that a carriage had arrived at the door, and thought that it was business coming, so they immediately greeted it.
Jiang Fu asked the guys from Guangjitang to drive directly into the second gate, and the people from the Zhenwei Dart Bureau couldn't help but be stunned, and when they saw that it was the guys from Guangjitang, they hurriedly followed.
Seeing Jiang Fu helping Hua Zhen get down from the carriage, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Hua Zhen They haven't seen each other, and they don't know who it is, but Jiang Fu knows each other.
At the beginning, Jiang Fu and Aunt Zhou lived in the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and suddenly the two dart masters immediately said respectfully: "Miss Jiang Fu." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Fu's voice was slightly deep: "I haven't seen the young master yet." ”
The two of them looked at Hua Zhen at this time, and immediately their faces changed greatly, and they bowed down and said: "My subordinates meet the young master! ”
Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "The Yellow Hall Master is here?"
"Inside, young lord please. ”
The two of them welcomed Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu in, and one of them trotted in quickly to tell Huang Tianba.
The guys from Guangjitang drove the carriage back to Guangjitang.
Huang Tianba heard the news and said that Hua Zhen was coming, and immediately took care of the people and came out to greet him.
Seeing Hua Zhen, he took someone to kneel down respectfully: "Subordinate Huang Tianba, I have seen the young master." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen waved her hand, Huang Tianba immediately understood, ordered everyone next to him to go down first, and led Hua Zhen to the inner room.
Hua Zhen looked at Huang Tianba at this time: "I want to go to Ning's house to see Ning's grandfather." ”
Huang Tianba paused when he heard this, glanced at Jiang Fu, and then looked respectful: "Young master, please come with me." ”
Saying that, he took Hua Zhen and walked to the back hall of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau.
Jiang Fu followed behind, his eyes full of doubts.
She couldn't understand why Huang Tianba wanted to take her to the back hall when her own county wanted to go to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask much, just followed behind Hua Zhen.
When he walked all the way to the innermost warehouse, and watched Huang Tianba light two torches, he lifted the stone slab under the warehouse, revealing a secret passage, Jiang Fu was shocked.
She grew up in the director of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau when she was a child, but she had never seen it, and there was a secret passage hidden in the abandoned warehouse of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau.
What shocked her even more was that Hua Zhen seemed to have known about this secret passage for a long time, and there was no surprise on her face, she took the torch handed over by Huang Tianba, and immediately walked in.
Huang Tianba saw that Jiang Fu was still stunned, and immediately shouted: "Jiang Fu, quickly follow the young master." ”
Jiang Fu reacted at this time and hurriedly followed Hua Zhen in.
This dark passage is only ten feet deep is a passage, which can be paralleled by two people, but it is very deep, and it takes a long time to walk before it comes to the end.
At the end of the tunnel is a dark room, the size of a room, with tables and chairs, as well as a bookcase, making it a good place to hide.
When they reached the dark room, Hua Zhen stood at the table, and Huang Tianba walked to the wall and began to tap on the wall.
Three tones are heavy, two are light, and they are very regular.
After knocking like this for a long time, I heard a slight movement on the other side of the wall.
Huang Tianba immediately stepped aside, and listened to the boom, and the stone door on the wall was opened.
Walking in from behind the stone gate was Mo Yan beside Wei Guogong, who was stunned for a moment when he saw Hua Zhen, but it was only for a moment, so he said softly: "I don't know what happened to Miss Biao here?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Mo Yan: "Grandfather Ning can be in the mansion?"
"In. ”
"Take me to see Grandpa Ning. ”
Hearing this, Mo Yan nodded: "Yes, Miss Biao, please come with me." ”
After speaking, he led Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu through the stone gate, while Huang Tianba was guarding in the dark room.
Jiang Fu looked at the secret passage behind the stone gate, the same as that of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and when he walked out, it was the cellar of the Duke of Wei's mansion.
The indescribable shock in her heart, she never thought that the Zhenwei Dart Bureau was even this Wei State Mansion.
I have lived in the Zhenwei Dart Bureau for more than ten years, but I have never found out.
With an indescribable shock in his heart at the moment, he followed Hua Hao all the way to the side hall of the Wei State Mansion.
Only then did Mo Yan speak: "Please also ask Miss Biao to wait here later, and let her subordinates go down and make a speech." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded and sat on a chair in the side hall.
After a while, I heard a voice full of distress coming from the side door: "My son, my heart." ”
An old lady dressed in a fancy dress walked in quickly from the side door, and as soon as she entered the door, she ran over and hugged Hua Zhen in her arms, and tears of excitement fell.
"Tell me to take a good look, I haven't seen you for a few years, I've grown taller and grown. Old Madam Ning saw that Hua Zhen's appearance was so similar to her two nieces, and tears immediately fell.
Old Lady Ning and Wei Guogong also followed.
Looking at Hua Zhen, she couldn't help but redden.
Looking at Hua Zhen's appearance now, it looks like Shen Lianxing and Shen Xiyue when they were young, and they couldn't help but think of the days when they lived in the Ning family, and their eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Hua Zhen first helped the old lady to sit down, and then respectfully saluted the old lady Ning and Wei Guogong, and then knelt down in the middle.
Old Madam Ning was shocked when she saw this: "Zhen'er, what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he was going to ask the maid to help Hua Zhen up.
Hua Zhen shook her head and refused, just knelt on the ground: "Zhen'er is not filial, let her grandfather and grandmother return to Beijing for Zhen'er's death, everything is Zhen'er's fault, it is Zhen'er who has affected the Ning family, and asked her grandfather and grandmother and cousin to be worshiped by Zhen'er." ”
As he spoke, he directly kowtowed to Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning.
Old Lady Ning and Old Lady Ning glanced at each other when they heard this, and then sighed.
instructed the maid to help Hua Zhen up, beckoned her to sit down beside her, and then said, "Child, you don't need to be like this. ”
Listening to Mrs. Ning's words, Mrs. Ning immediately answered: "Yes, your mother was raised by me, just like my own daughter, now that you are alone in Beijing, no matter how dangerous it is, we can't watch you ignore it alone." Besides, this return to Beijing is not all for you, but also for ourselves, for the sake of the Ning family, you really don't have to do this. ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen felt a little more ashamed in her heart.
Because if it weren't for his letter, the Ning family would not have left Lu Long, and they would not have been in danger today.
Even if the emperor will attack the Ning family in the future, there will still be some days, and now she will pull them down this troubled water in advance, so she should say this apology.
Looking at the guilt in Hua Zhen's eyes, Mrs. Ning was even more distressed, and took Hua Zhen's hand: "Good boy, we all know what you have done in Beijing these days, and it has also hurt you." ”
As he spoke, tears fell.
She is really distressed about Hua Zhen, and she is not as sympathetic as the emperor.
Hua Zhen naturally understood, and immediately persuaded: "Grandmother, don't be sad, watch your body." ”
On the side, Mrs. Ning looked at it and persuaded her: "Yes, don't wait until you hurt yourself, and make Zhen'er even more worried." ”
Old Madam Ning wiped the corners of her eyes when she heard this: "Yes, seeing Zhen'er is like seeing the stars and the moon, I should be happy." ”
When Hua Zhen heard this, she looked at Mrs. Ning: "Grandfather, cousin, I came here today because I wanted to discuss something with my grandfather. ”
Hearing this, the old lady Ning touched her beard and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The matter of the prince's cousin. ”
A sentence suddenly quieted down the side hall.
Old Madam Ning immediately waved her hand, so that the servants around her wanted to go down, and then looked at Hua Zhen: "What happened to the prince? As soon as we arrived in the capital, we were sent back to the Wei Mansion by King Qi, and we only heard that the prince seemed to be because of a Zhang Ying, which made the emperor Longyan angry, and now he is under house arrest in the East Palace." ”
Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "Zhang Ying, the Zhan of the James Mansion, is the prince's staff, and he teamed up with Jiangnan Weaving and his cousin in Suzhou to murder a wealthy businessman surnamed Su in Suzhou, seized all the shops of the Su family, and colluded with Jiangnan Weaving to embezzle the silver of the Internal Affairs Office, which was exposed by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. In the imperial history, Liu Zhongyuan said that Zhang Ying was just a Zhan thing, and he was afraid that he would not dare to do such a thing, implying that the mastermind behind it was the prince, and the emperor was furious, put the prince's cousin under house arrest, and asked King Qi to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
Wei Guogong looked at Old Lady Ning, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and when he saw Old Lady Ning nodding, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Zhen'er, this matter is really related to the prince?"
"Hmm. ”
This matter was the first news that King Qi received, when he wanted the Shen family to go to Suzhou, and then take the master and servant of the Su family to sue Zhang Ying. At that time, I reminded the prince to let the prince abandon Zhang Ying, but the prince did not abandon Zhang Ying, just because it was the prince's cousin who instructed Zhang Ying to do this. Not only that, but he also used the money that Zhang Ying had stolen to let Zhang Ying's cousin Zhang Guang raise troops in Luzhou, and it was precisely because he was afraid that this matter would be discovered that the prince did not dare to abandon Zhang Ying and ignore it. Hua Zhen said, her face serious.
Seeing that Old Lady Ning stroked his chin, his beard was a little ugly: "If this matter is serious, the prince is only afraid that this time will not only be abolished, but if the emperor knows about raising troops privately, he will definitely not let the prince go, and it will be difficult to say whether he can protect this life or not!"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen stood up and looked at Old Madam Ning and Old Madam Ning: "Maternal grandfather and grandmother, I am here for this matter today, just to tell my grandfather and grandmother, don't interfere in the prince's affairs." ”
Hearing this, Wei Guogong frowned slightly: "What do you mean, don't you want us to see the prince die because of this matter, he is the only son of his cousin, how can we sit idly by." ”
"The emperor just grasped your thoughts and set up this game. If you don't intervene, cousin, the emperor will definitely not do anything to the prince, even if this matter is finally investigated to the prince, the emperor will think of saving the prince, otherwise he will never let King Qi investigate the case thoroughly. ”
When Wei Guogong heard this, he looked at Hua Zhen and was a little puzzled: "What do you mean, this is a bureau set up by the emperor to deal with us." ”
"Yes!" Hua Zhen said, her eyes were a little cold: "The emperor just knows that his grandfather and grandmother will not look at the prince no matter what, so he is so angry." Otherwise, the emperor would never let this matter be related to the crown prince for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, and would directly dispose of Zhang Ying, at most give the prince a few warnings. Doing this is to show your grandfather and cousin, just to make you think that he really wants to deal with the prince, and let you be anxious and desperate to help the prince, so as to find an excuse to deal with the Ning family. ”
