Chapter Forty-Eight: Carry the Treasure with You
When Director Zhao heard Brother Shen's three words, he asked with concern, "What's wrong with Shen Ao?" Are you in trouble? ”
Wu San'er said: "Brother Shen was arrested by the public and was involved in a lawsuit. ”
Director Zhao was ecstatic in his heart, but he frowned and said, "Lawsuit? Shen Ao has never caused trouble, did he offend anyone? Ah, this is not good, this matter has to be reported to Grandpa Guo, so that Grandpa Guo can try to rescue him. ”
Wu San'er was stunned and said, "Will Grandpa Guo save it?" ”
Director Zhao said: "This is natural, no matter what, Shen Ao is also a scholar of the Guogong Mansion, if he is really wronged, how can the Guogong sit idly by?" You wait here, I'll report. ”
Wu San'er said gratefully: "Then please ask Master Zhao to do it." ”
Director Zhao said with a straight face: "What are you talking about?" Shen Ao, I like this kid very much, if something happens to him, can I stand by and watch? You also underestimate me, don't say that you just went to report, that is, to run for Shen Ao, that is also my share, and what to do. ”
As he spoke, he instructed Wu San'er to wait here, and hurriedly went to Grandpa Guo's study.
Zhou Zheng, the prince of Qiguo, had just come back from the court, and he was thinking about troubles in his heart, so he read the book in the study, and then taught people to come and ask about Zhou Heng's homework. This grandfather is always like this when there is a problem, and every time he asks about Zhou Heng, he is probably looking for this rebel to get angry. However, none of those subordinates dared to speak ill of Zhou Heng, so they replied that Taixue had not yet started, but the young master was also working hard at home. Zhou Zheng was so foolish, so he taught people to find Zhou Heng and test him.
Which of the people still dares to speak for this little ancestor, most of them are here, if they can't answer, they will not be punished.
Who knew that Zhou Heng didn't come, so Director Zhao came in a hurry, and said recklessly: "Master, master, it's not good, it's not good......
Under the swaying wall lamp in the study, Zhou Zheng leaned on the Taishi chair, holding the scroll in his hand, and a pair of eyes like electricity fell on the scroll, as if he was deaf to the things around him.
Director Zhao said again: "Master, the scholar in the mansion was taken by the official, and the Jingzhao Mansion bullied us to our Guogong Mansion." ”
Zhou Zheng's face that was not angry and self-righteous didn't even bother to lift it, his eyes fell on the scroll, and he reprimanded: "You came to the mansion on the first day?" There are no rules like this, and you don't have to be taught to go to the top when the sky falls, what are you panicking about? ”
Master Zhao was stunned, and hurriedly confessed, and said: "The old servant should die, the old man forgives the sin, the matter is really urgent, and the old servant is even messed up." ”
Zhou Zheng put down the scroll and raised his eyes, and asked calmly, "What is the matter?" ”
Director Zhao said: "That's the case, a few days ago, Mrs. Zizi chose a scholar for the young master, but now I don't know how to give it to the official." This scholar's name is Shen Ao, he is a good person, and everyone in the mansion likes him very much, master, do you want to send a message to teach Jingzhao Mansion to release people? ”
When Zhou Zheng heard it, oh, it turned out that there was a new scholar in the house, this scholar was very popular, but he committed an accident outside, and was taken by Jingzhao Mansion, causing a mess. Immediately furious, he slapped the case and said: "The scholar of the Guogong Mansion went out to commit a crime and taught me to go to the Jingzhao Mansion to release people?" Are you old and confused? If he really violated the law of the country, he would be responsible for the murder of the head, and he had nothing to do with the government. ”
Director Zhao said with a bitter face: "Madame also likes him very much, isn't it a little unkind for the master to do this?" ”
Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "It seems that this person is very cunning, and he has won the favor of his wife, and he can't stay anymore, this kind of rampant lawless person should be fired out immediately." ”
Director Zhao hurriedly said: "Master, no, Shen Aoren is very good, not only Madame, but also the young master, young lady, and ordinary subordinates like him very much......"
The more Director Zhao said this, the more angry Zhou Zheng became, and said angrily: "There is no need to say it again, no one is allowed to take care of this matter." ”
Director Zhao had no choice but to leave unhappy, and when he got out of the study, he couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself: "Shen Ao, Shen Ao, you also have this day." Hehe, even if the lawsuit is over this trip, you won't be able to stay in this house. He knows Zhou Zheng's surname too well, this grandfather has always hated those tricky and sleek people. If this matter is reported to Mrs. first, Mrs. will definitely call the master over and say some good things about Shen Ao, and Grandpa Guo really can't say that he wants to meddle in this matter. But he hurried over, first saying that he had broken the law, and the Guogong was naturally very unhappy, and then said that this person had won the favor of many people in the inner house, what did the Guogong think? must think that this Shen Ao is insidious and cunning, and he relies on the involvement of the Guogong Mansion to run amok and lawless, with this idea, can Shen Ao stay?
……………………
Under the court, more and more people gathered to see the excitement, and they all talked about Shen Ao's case, many of these people came from the Yaya Mountain House, and at this time, they didn't ask about the verdict, so they listened to the words of a eunuch and wanted to fork Shen Ao to go down to be executed, and they immediately felt a little more sympathy for Shen Ao. Of course, this sympathy also stemmed from the disgust for the eunuch.
Literati and eunuchs, that is a sworn enemy that has lasted for thousands of years, not to mention that this Gonggong Cao is so domineering that he went to Jingzhao Mansion to teach people to judge cases.
Several officials with water and fire sticks were about to fork Shen Ao out for execution, and Shen Ao said loudly: "My lord, I want to sue!" ”
Complain? It's really funny, now he's a criminal, what kind of complaint. The general judge ignored him, sneered again and again, this young man is too ignorant, the incident in the east window offended Gonggong Li again, and at this time, he was still begging for tricks, and he really thought that this Jingzhao Mansion Yamen was an inn wine shop, and he was allowed to mess around. Thinking about it like this, the little sympathy that originally existed for Shen Ao disappeared.
The water and fire stick forked in front of Shen Ao's chest, and a few servants twisted Shen Ao's shoulders and dragged them back, Shen Ao had no choice but to say in a loud voice: "Wait, wait a little longer, both the execution will be carried out by you, but I have a treasure on my body, in order to prevent it from being broken by you, can you allow me to take out the treasure first and then fight?" ”
Wow, this guy is still thinking about treasures, and he doesn't look nervous or scared at all, roaring at the court, too rude. The officers looked at the general judgment and waited for the general judgment to respond. Tong Ju was shocked, blew his beard and glared: "Fork down, fork down, palm mouth, cane beating, hit first, wait until he knows the rules, and then teach him to talk back." ”
Shen Ao was pulled by four or five people, and shouted in his mouth: "Everyone comes to be a witness, if the treasure is damaged, the official family will investigate it, but it has nothing to do with me?" It's a general sentence to be beaten, and you, you, you ......" Shen Ao said that you are a few very hard-working errand soldiers. Nima, just eating with a mouthful, do you use it to perform so hard in front of your boss?
Official? This lawsuit is too dramatic, first a father-in-law came, and then he bumped into a madman, that's all, even the official family was involved. Many people outside the court sighed, and secretly said that they were worth the trip, such a scene is really rare.
The general judge's face changed at this time, and he reprimanded: "Bold, what nonsense are you talking about in this court? ”
The servants finally stopped pulling, Shen Ao had a chance to catch his breath, and said slowly: "The grass people are not talking nonsense, the grass people happen to have a painting of the official family on them." This painting has not yet been framed, if the adults execute the grass people, if the water and fire sticks accidentally smash the painting, not only the grass people, but I am afraid that everyone in this yamen will not be able to get rid of it. ”
As he spoke, Shen Ao slowly took out a scroll of paintings, smiled and stuffed the paintings into the hands of the officers beside him, and said, "Brother Tolerance, you take this painting first, and then take me to the execution, so as not to break the painting and affect you." ”
Where do you dare to pick up that tolerance, I don't know if it's true or not, if it's true, it's equivalent to a gift. My mother, official, this is not a joke. looked at Shen Ao again, but he looked very sincere and calm, looking at himself expectantly with a pair of eyes, as if to say: "Little brother, take this painting, someone will come to kill your head tomorrow, and you will be beheaded all over the house." ”
Wow, it's just a public meal, you don't have to hurt people like this, right? Five or six colleagues on the side, what are you doing for me? He didn't dare to pick it up, and retreated again and again.
Shen Ao took the painting and stuffed it to another officer, and said very emotionally: "Brother tolerance, you can save this painting for me first." If I am killed by you, and the official asks me about it, you will present this painting, and say that Shen Ao has a hard life, and he was killed by a group of corrupt officials and dead eunuchs, and he can't ask his old man to teach painting skills. ”
The tolerance was dumbfounded, very speechless, he had never encountered such a thing in his life, seeing that the painting was about to be handed over, he hurriedly blocked it with his hand.
