Chapter 308: Cool Officer
Wu Yan sat alone in the middle of the valley, where the sun was most intense. Since the ghost in the body doesn't want to walk in the sun, then do the opposite, and see who can beat whom.
Baoxiang is right, he is a person who wants to be the owner of the village, how can he be afraid of these ghosts.
With anger on his face and laughter for a while, Wu Gan's expression changed back and forth, looking very strange. All the people in the valley are far away from him, and the devil knows what evil has fallen into.
Not far away, Baoxiang and Yang Zheng grabbed a leg of mutton in their hands and squatted on the ground to guard Wu Gen from afar.
When I was bored, someone suddenly came to report that more than a dozen people came down the mountain, and the leader was Tingwei Zhang Geng, who said by name that he wanted to see Wu Geng.
Everyone's expressions became serious, and the treasure elephant simply ran to take out the axe.
As the saying goes, the county guard who breaks the family and the court captain who destroys the door. Tingwei is in charge of the prison, what good can he do if he comes to the door, it is difficult to put Wu Yan in prison.
"Or we'll run." Yang Zheng was nervously carrying his belt.
Wu Yan got up from the ground and patted his face, which was a little numb due to the change in expression, "It's okay, I have never violated the laws of Zhao State, so it shouldn't be a big deal." ”
On that day, the emperor Zhao Ye personally rewarded a handful of coriander, which means that it is self-evident, how could Tingwei arrest people at will according to the emperor's intentions. Besides, more than a dozen people grabbed themselves, just kidding, I didn't see that even the emperor was busy driving himself out of the capital.
When the group walked to the bottom of the mountain, they saw a group of people waiting at the bottom of the mountain, the first of whom had a clear face, a dark and thin face, and a pair of triangular eyes, and the eyes were full of light. He was sitting in a carriage without a car surround, looking ahead with a cold expression.
Wu Yan walked to the carriage and bowed his hand, "Lord Tingwei is here, I don't know what to call the boy." ”
"You are Wu Gan?" Zhang Geng's eyes flashed with cold light, and he looked Wu Yan up and down like a cone, "Yes, a small middle-aged man has stirred up such a big troubled water." ”
"Tingwei praised it falsely, Wu Gan is a middle-aged person, and he has his own self-knowledge. If people don't offend me, why take risks? Wu Geng raised his head and stared at Zhang Geng without fear.
Zhang Geng nodded, "I have some guts, don't talk about the common people on weekdays, even if the nobles see me, they are also two wars." Congratulations, you have been promoted to a nobleman, once you have gained power, and you will leap into the dragon gate. Don't worry, this time I am on the order of the emperor to send you a canonization gold book. ”
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this matter in the hands of Taichang, why is it an adult who is here." ”
"What the emperor ordered, you dare to disobey, is it possible that you see that I am not qualified as a court lieutenant." Zhang Geng squinted his triangular eyes, and the murderous intent loomed in his eyes.
Wu Yan shrugged, but he was not afraid, "The adults misunderstood, but they just felt strange." With such a high position, how can there be such a disqualified. It's just that the emperor asked Lord Tingwei to come here, I'm afraid there are other arrangements. ”
Zhang Geng jumped out of the car and tidied up his clothes, "Yes, hurry up and take away those golden books, Taichang Temple has already been recorded, and from today on, you are also a nobleman." ”
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, recalling the situation of Ji at the beginning of the canonization, and said with a strange face: "Isn't it necessary to engage in any procedures such as offering silks, food boxes, gizzard meat, and burning blessings, why is it so simple." ”
Zhang Geng's eyes widened, "Didn't you do all of this just now, these people present can all testify, is it possible that you want to do it again." ”
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "What the adults said is that they are happy for a while, but they are a little addicted to this program." ”
Soon, an official held a lacquer plate covered with yellow cloth on which a gold book more than a foot long was placed. Wu Gen stepped forward and flipped through it, himself, Qihe, and Feng'er were all nobles, and the bridge class was promoted by one rank, from a silver crown to a gold tube, and Baoxiang was only a nobleman.
What the hell is this nobleman, Wu Yan frowned and asked, "My lord, why is there still a person who has been sealed from the nobleman." ”
"You ask me, how did I know that the emperor confessed. Besides, it is already a great fortune for a smuggler to become a nobleman, so don't be embarrassed. Zhang Geng sneered.
Wu Gan's lips moved, and the governor was irretrievable, so he could only give up. At this time, Qihe and the others got the information and rushed over, and they were overjoyed to see the golden book. Only Yang Zheng was a foreigner, and this matter had nothing to do with him, and he stayed in the mountains alone.
Luo Bing also rushed to hear the news, but this usually smug courtyard master was also a little apprehensive when he saw Tingwei. Without him, how many nobles in Fuli City were planted in his hands.
This person is extremely ruthless, and he can pull out a large string of cases with one stroke, and he can also dig up your ancestral grave, leaving no way to live, and he is quite a cool official.
Seeing that the other party was not here to arrest someone, Luo Bing was also relieved, leaned lazily on an archway, and did not step forward to say hello. Zhang Geng glanced at it, walked to Luo Bing with square steps, and seemed to smile, "Master Luo, there is advice here." ”
Luo Bing squinted at the other party, "It's not good to watch the excitement, the law of Zhao Guo is not allowed to watch this article." ”
Zhang Geng smiled slightly and pointed to Luo Bing's feet, "Of course not, I just want to persuade you, if a noble person doesn't walk on his feet, is he losing his manners." ”
"Cut, when will Tingwei also take care of the weathering, be careful of the impeachment of the official." Luo Bing didn't care and turned his head to the side.
"Weathering is certainly not my business." Zhang Geng's expression was calm, and he bowed to the archway behind Luo Bing, "I remember that this archway was given by the emperor, no matter if you are a nobleman, you must not be rude to it here." Someone reported to the Tingwei Mansion that Luo Bing, the head of the Shenwu Academy, was quite disrespectful to the things given by the previous emperor, and he should be punished, and this can be taken care of by me. When I saw it today, I knew that the report was true. ”
Luo Bing was angry for a while, "Who, which turtle grandson reported me." ”
Zhang Geng pointed to his nose, "I." ”
Luo Bing's expression froze, and he hurriedly left the archway and saluted respectfully.
"Go farther, it's an eyesore, if it weren't for the fact that when I was falsely imprisoned, your father said two fair words, I would have beaten you with a hundred boards today." Zhang Geng's expression was cold, staring at Luo Bing like a poisonous snake.
Luo Bing didn't say a word, turned around and left. Wu Geng looked a little novel, this was the first time he had seen Luo Bing deflated, which showed the importance of this Zhang Geng's prestige in the circle of nobles.
"A few of you, go and talk to a few of them about the rules of the nobles, I have something to talk about with Wu Gan." Zhang Geng pointed at Qi He and the others, turned his head and instructed a few of his subordinates, and walked into the distance as he spoke.
Wu Jian casually followed, learning from his people to pacing square steps, looking quite funny.
The people brought by Zhang Geng were all a little dumbfounded, this person was extremely serious on weekdays, as long as he was in the hall, he didn't even dare to come out. This new nobleman has eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and dares to play a court lieutenant like this.
"Isn't it fun?" After walking for a while, Zhang Geng turned his head expressionlessly and asked with gloom.
Wu Yan flicked his sleeves and looked disgusted, "With such a difficult posture, I don't know how you people walk down every day, are you tired." ”
"You're not afraid that I'll accuse you of a crime and take you to prison to eat." Zhang Geng still had a paralyzed face, his hands in his long sleeves, and he looked at Wu Gen coldly.
"Whatever you want." Wu Gen also learned from his appearance, "The people in the officialdom are afraid of Tingwei, and once they are caught, they will be bankrupt." Even if I become a nobleman, I don't have half of the official position. If you are a rotten person, you will lose not much, and you will be afraid of less.
Besides, Ting Wei came here with great fanfare this time, I'm afraid he didn't come to arrange charges for others and act as a prestige. Put me in prison, and the one who can't sleep should be Tingwei. ”
"Hmph, you have nothing to fear." Zhang Geng's face became more and more gloomy, "Daring to threaten Ting Wei in person is purely a way to die." Don't think that I can't help you if you don't have half of your official position, in my eyes, no one in this world is clean, even if it is in the egg, I can pick out the bones for you.
Alright, don't fight these useless haha. You know it. ”
Zhang Geng took out a long box from his sleeve, Wu Yan took it and opened it, and there was a strand of hair in it. If you look closely, there are two half-white and half-black hairs mixed in.
"This is from Zhu Linchen?" Wu Yan didn't care and handed the box back to the other party.
"Uh-ho, the eldest prince showed it to you?" Zhang Geng was a little curious, "I'm a little curious, whether you really know how to use witchcraft." ”
"It's hard for Tingwei to want to cut in from now on and beat the big prince to the water dog. I have made it clear to the emperor about the witchcraft, so you don't need to bother here. Besides, the eldest prince has been a cold stove for many years, and there is not much oil and water.
But the third prince is there, Lord Tingwei might as well take care of it, maybe the prison of Tingwei's Mansion is still a little cramped. ”
"Don't move the prince, this is the bottom line that the emperor gave me. Since this thing was taken out by me from the Great Prince, it is useless. Saying that, Zhang Geng casually threw the box on the ground, and a gust of wind blew, and the hair in the box drifted away with the wind and fell into the grass and disappeared.
"I heard you have some lists here, can you lend me a look." Zhang Geng stepped on the box on the ground and stretched out his hand.
Wu Yan took out a few pieces of paper from his body and handed them over, "Here are some friends of Zhao Linge and Zhao Linyun, Tingwei might as well follow the map, in this way, thirty percent of the officials in the capital will probably fall into your hands." ”
Zhang Geng stretched out his hand to take it and said mockingly: "You have a prince's name, but you have no respect, it can be seen that you are really a kingless person." If I were the emperor, I would give you a petty official and put some reins on your wild horse. By the way, even if someone is arrested this time, these princes will eventually turn over, and you are not afraid of retaliation after they take the throne. ”
Wu Yan sneered, "You don't have to worry about this, these three people will stop here, and there will be no more advances, so please rest assured that your lord will handle the case." ”
Zhang Geng was stunned, his triangular eyes stared at Wu Gen viciously, and after a while, he came to his senses, "I understand, it seems that the emperor has talked a lot with you." ”
Wu Yan stared straight at the other party, leaning forward, and his momentum was a lot stronger, "I sent my lord such a big secret, I don't know how Lord Tingwei is going to deal with Zhao Ling and Rong Kui." ”
"These two people are not the emperor's closest relatives, how to deal with it depends on the emperor's intentions. Oh, you seem to have a lot of grudges against them. Zhang Geng also resisted Wu Geng's momentum and sneered.
"I want them to never see the light of day again." Wu Gen's expression was indifferent.
"It's not that you think, it's the emperor who thinks."
"It can also be Tingwei thought." Wu Qian withdrew a little, "My lord, Rong Kui also worked as a court lieutenant, so I know how his predecessor fell." I heard that Rong Kui has been unwilling to lose his position as a court lieutenant over the years. Wu Jian said and took out a cylinder from his sleeve and handed it over.
"What is this?" Zhang Geng was a little puzzled.
"This is Taoyedu on the Yishui River, written by a woman named Taoye Niangniang, which describes how Rong Kui framed Lao Tingwei in prison and harmed his whole family." Wu Gen said lightly, it has been a while since Yang Zheng got this thing back.
"What about people."
"Ran away."
"You are cunning, and this witness is not how credible."
"Adults can also see a lot of clues from this, after all, many parties are still in court, and it is not difficult to get a confession. In addition, remind the adults that the matter of King Jinchun is already in the daylight, and the adults want to share the worries of the emperor. ”
"You're asking me to attack Zhao Ling."
"Not bad."
Zhang Geng sighed, "In this way, it offended the royal family miserably." ”
"As long as you don't offend the emperor, since you do it, you must be quick with the knife, so as not to be attacked by others." Wu Gen took a step forward.
"That's right, let's go into the woods and talk about it." The two talked as they walked, and gradually walked into a dense forest.
