Chapter 37: A Rare Opportunity
The king asked, "Old thief? Does the guest officer have a grudge against this man? ”
The guest shook his head and smiled: "Definitely! Definitely! Do you know who this old thief is? ”
Wang asked: "I don't know, I still ask the guest to make it clear!" ”
The guest said: "This person is the great Sima Huan Wen who is in charge of the military power of the eight states. ”
Wang asked: "Why do the guests call Da Sima an old thief? ”
The guest said: "Although Huan Wen is talented, he has a heart of disobedience, and he will eventually dominate the court." Isn't such a person an old thief? ”
Wang Zhi said: "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble when you talk about this with people you don't know?" ”
The guest drank another glass of wine and said with a smile: "I just can't get used to him!" Besides, it's an open secret, so what's the trouble? By the way, I still have some friendship with Huan Wen, if you want to join the army as a soldier, I can introduce you to his account. ”
Wang Zhen hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your kindness!" However, although I do not insult soldiers, my dream is only to marry a wife, have a son, and find a stable job. Soldiers fighting in the north and south and walking on thin ice are really not suitable for me. ”
The guest smiled and asked, "Oh?!" That's it! So how are you martial arts? ”
Wang Qiandao: "Guest officer, I'm not boasting, the ordinary three or two little thieves are definitely not my opponents." ”
The guest said, "Then how about I arrange an errand for you in the yamen?" ”
Of course Wang Zhen is happy, his matter in Happy Fang has been concluded, and it will be enough to ask Zhang Xuan to help him propose his marriage in two days, and it is meaningless to be the second shopkeeper again. Besides, if it is known that the future husband of the eldest lady of the Xie family is a shopkeeper, Xie Daoyun will not feel ashamed, and Wang Zhen himself will feel ashamed.
Wang Zhen has always wanted to increase his worth and find a decent job, but he has no way. Now suddenly someone took the initiative to arrange an errand for him in the Yamen, although he was ungraded, but he also ate the emperor's grain, and worked decently and steadily. As the saying goes, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat!
Wang Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted: "This is really good!" For me, it's like a long drought! By the way, under the king's hostage, you haven't asked the guest official for his name? ”
The guest said: "I am the parent official of Jiankang City, and I am in charge of Jianwei Mansion Danyang Yin Liu Yan. ”
Wang Zhen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Lord Liu, please forgive Wang Zhen for having no eyes!" If Lord Liu is willing to bring the king hostage, the king will definitely be grateful! ”
Liu Yi said: "Okay! Then come with me! ”
Wang Zhen said: "Lord Liu, please allow me to inform the shopkeeper in advance." ”
Liu Yi nodded, put down a tael of silver on the table, and walked out of the store.
Wang Zhen walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I won't be here from today onwards. ”
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and immediately said, "Okay!" But there is no salary! ”
Wang Zhen didn't mind, smiled and waved goodbye, and walked out of the store.
Liu Yan was standing outside the door, and Wang Zhen walked up to him and saluted: "Lord Liu, my business is done, where are we going now?" ”
Liu Yi said: "First go back to the yamen to get you a job and get a set of errand clothes, I plan to arrange for you to be a military official." ”
The two chatted while walking, and Wang Zhen didn't dare to walk side by side with Liu Xuan, half a position behind Liu Xuan.
The king asked, "My lord, what is the job of a military officer?" ”
Liu Yi said: "Maintain law and order in the capital, punish thieves, and arrest criminals." There is a certain danger, and it is too late for you to regret it now. ”
Wang asked: "No regrets! Not only can you do things for the people, but you can also show your skills, and you can't ask for it. It's just that adults have never seen my skills, so wouldn't it be too rash to let me be a martial artist based on what I said? ”
Liu Yi said: "It's okay! I'm very accurate! I believe in my own vision! ”
Wang Zhen and Liu Yi walked a little further, and Wang asked Liu Yi: "By the way, Lord Liu, what kind of wind blew you to the Happy Square today?" ”
Liu Yi said: "Do you know what happened in Jiankang City last night? ”
Of course Wang Zhen knew about it, but Wang Zhen didn't dare to be careless, and asked tentatively: "What my lord wants to say is that Sun En rebelled and attacked the Wuwei camp and killed Wang Ning?" ”
Liu Yi: "That's good! But that's just one of them, what else? ”
Wang Zhen deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "The matter of Sun En's rebellion has been spread this morning, and as for what else happened, it is not clear below." Please let me know! ”
Liu Yi said: "According to the report, when Sun En attacked the Wuwei camp, the manor of the Wudou Mi Sect was set on fire almost at the same time. ”
Wang Zhen was secretly taken aback and asked, "Even if the manor of the Five Doumi Sect is on fire, why is it sure that the adults are arson instead of a fire?" ”
Liu Yan said: "Because the fire point is wrong!" The fire was kindled in the treasury. ”
Wang Qiandao: "It may also be arranged by Sun En himself, so that he can fight against the water!" ”
Liu Yan shook his head and said, "What kind of grudge do Sun En and Wang Ningzhi have, and what kind of grudge do they need to do whatever they want?" If he had emptied the vault beforehand, it was possible that he had arranged for it, but it was full. After the fire, there was a lot of silver water in the ground, and there were many gold ingots that could not be burned. ”
Wang asked: "My lord, do you think that there is a connection between Sun En's rebellion against the Wuwei Camp and the burning of the Wudou Mijiao Manor?" ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Sun En's gathering of hundreds of sect members to attack the military base at night is very incomprehensible in itself, although I don't know Sun En's personality, and I don't know what his motive is for attacking the Wuwei camp; However, it is likely that the arson on the manor was carried out by insiders. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the manor's garrison, he robbed the silver vault and set it on fire. ”
The king asked puzzledly, "How do you know it's 'him' and not 'them'?" ”
Liu Yi said: "If it was 'them', the treasury would have been emptied long ago. The vault was almost full, and the prisoner was alone. ”
The king asked, "Since your lord said that the treasury was full, how do you know that the treasury was plundered first?" ”
"This morning's report said that four bodies were found in the ruins of the silver vault. Although the cause of death is not yet known, the treasury is the focus of money, and it is heavily guarded, and it is generally impossible for anyone to be in it. Since some people have gone in, I believe that some people have come out, and it is impossible to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed! ”
Wang Zhen said sincerely: "The adult's analysis is reasonable, and I really admire it!" It's just that what does this have to do with adults appearing in the Happy Square? ”
Liu Yi smiled and said, "I'm here to find a prisoner!" ”
Wang Zhen was surprised: "Looking for a prisoner?!" ”
Liu Yi said: "Yes! Hidden in the city, the Happy Square is prosperous and lively and is a gathering place for celebrities and sons, which is an ideal place to hide. The prisoner was clever and tricky, and he was probably hiding here. ”
Wang asked: "Even if the prisoner is hiding here, how can the adults find the prisoner if they don't know what the prisoner looks like?" Besides, isn't the top priority now to arrest the rebel Sun En? Even if all the inferences of the adults are true, and the rebels' homes are indeed stolen and set on fire, do we really need to take care of this? ”
Liu Yi said: "You are right, you are wrong. The rebel Sun En must be caught, and the crime must also be managed. It's just that the arson case has been done extremely smartly, with no evidence, no physical evidence, and no sufferers, and I am afraid it is a headless public case that cannot be solved. ”
Liu Yi glanced at Wang Zhen and said: "Actually, I just came to the Happy Square to hang out, and I had too many troubles, so I came out to relax." However, I have not been without it. ”
