Chapter 21: Co-authoring is you kid!
At the right time, the street division lobby.
The six main rooms were all seated on both sides, but the main seat belonging to Du Ming Hall was still empty.
No one spoke in the hall, the atmosphere was depressing and dreary, and the crisp sound of the tea lid and tea cup could occasionally be heard.
After waiting for a long time, the figure of the commander was not seen, and several general flags were either sitting in danger, or closing their eyes and concentrating, but Guo Chao, the four-room general banner with a beard, blew his beard and stared at Zuo Yucheng.
Bang!
Guo Chao clasped the teacup with one hand, and the sound attracted a room of people, and everyone looked sideways, Bai Zhijun, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating in his mind, opened his eyes slit, and the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature.
Guo Chao's voice was like a bell, but his tone was yin and yang: "The second room is really different from what it used to be, a newcomer dares to hurt the little flag officer under my hand, it's really terrifying." β
Several general flags are ready to watch the show.
Here it isΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Zuo Yucheng knew that this matter would not be good, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it before entering the door.
I saw that he smiled cutely, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "What did Master Guo say?" Zhang Zhanyi kidnapped the people's daughters and intimidated the plaintiff, Wang Ling just got the instructions of the two adults to punish him, if Guo Zongqi had any opinion of him, he could go to talk to Lord Cao or the envoy for an explanation, he was just acting according to orders. β
Zuo Yucheng directly put Cao Yong and Du Mingtang out, what kind of ability is it to bully a few of us? You have the ability to bully those two old ones.
"You..."Don't look at Guo Chao, who is five big and three thick, with a beard and thick nose hair, like a rough straight person, but in fact he is a bully who is afraid of the hard, let him go to the two Qingzhou bigwigs to call the board, he really doesn't have the guts.
Then another man in the room spoke.
"I think when Lao Xiao is still there, although the relationship between the six rooms is not harmonious, but it has nothing to do, and now he has been promoted, leaving a group of little kings and eight lambs who rely on the elders behind him to make a fortune, for the reputation of Lao Xiao, I see! In the future, there will be a chance, and a few of us will have to help Lao Xiao manage his juniors, and teach this group of boys who have not grown all their hair, what is called the difference between respect and inferiority, lest someone really think that he is a little backstage, and he can show off his power in the street, and not take others in his eyes. β
Zuo Yucheng looked in the direction of the voice, and it was Wang Dianyu who spoke from the general banner of the sixth room, and Zhang Zhanyi and Tian Ming, who were stirring up trouble in the morning, were the small flag officials of the fourth and sixth rooms respectively, and Wang Dianyu did not surprise him when he opened his mouth at this time.
Zuo Yucheng got up and said: "It's still not bothering the general banner of the king, when it comes to being powerful, I don't dare to be ashamed in the second room, compared with the little flag officials under the two general banner lords, what do I have to wait?" Speaking of Xiao Zongqi's official voice, there is no need for adults to worry about it, but the kid thinks that adults should restrain the people under them, don't let the abduction of people's daughters happen again, and the official voices of the two adults will not be too good. β
"Zuo Yucheng... Are you looking for death?! Wang Dianyu took the case, and Guo Chao also stood up.
Zhang Haifeng, the general banner of the big house, sneered, and Bai Zhijun of the third room took a sip of tea leisurely, and did not forget to taste it after drinking: "Good tea." β
Only Zhao Hailong, the general flag of the fifth room, was not affected by the tense atmosphere in the house, and sat upright, maintaining a neutral attitude.
Zuo Yucheng was shocked back by the momentum that erupted at the same time, he is not a troublesome character, but in the morning, Zhang Zhanyi and the two of them still remembered Tang Xiaoyu's foul words, and he was a little enthusiastic for a while, so he spoke against the two people he usually did not dare to offend.
In the morning, he also advised Tang Xiaoyu not to offend these people as much as possible, but later he figured it out, blindly forbearance can only be exchanged for great humiliation, if it is him, it is okay, but the other party is targeting Tang Xiaoyu, she is the bottom line that Zuo Yucheng must not back down, and Du Mingtang's attitude not long ago is also one of the reasons why his waist suddenly hardened.
Bai Zhijun thought of those hidden lines, Zuo Yucheng naturally thought of it, the general flag of the second room can only be selected from Tang Xiaoyu and Wang Ling, Du Mingtang has actually expressed his attitude, at least in Zuo Yucheng's heart, Du Mingtang is protecting those two people, even so, there is no need to compromise and seek perfection, when it should be hard, it has to be hard, and he has a belly of fire when Zhang Zhanyi made a provocation.
"What? Are you two here to do something with me? Inevitably, I think too highly of Zuo Yucheng. Zuo Yucheng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and faced the two general flags at the same time, which made him feel unprecedented pressure.
Wang Dianyu took a step forward and said with a cruel smile: "Didn't I say it? We have worked with Lao Xiao for many years, and we have the responsibility to help him discipline the second room, Lao Guo, you don't need to do it, I am already bullying the juniors by myself, if you interfere, you will bully the less, and then make people laugh. β
Guo Chao laughed and said: "That's right, but I have a word first, Zuo Yucheng, this kid has a good tooth, you can take care of it more." β
After he said this, Wang Dianyu remembered what this kid had just said, and the anger on his face increased a little, and he said coldly: "Look how I break his teeth!" β
As soon as he stepped out, Wang Dianyu stuck his whole body, and when he approached Zuo Yucheng, he punched out, wanting to hit his throat directly!
His speed was too fast, Zuo Yucheng knew that he didn't have time to dodge, so he had to cross his arms to block the front door, although he resisted this blow, he was still beaten upside down by the majestic fist of the qi machine and flew out, and then slammed heavily on the pillar of the hall, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Zuo Yucheng struggled to get up, his internal organs seemed to be churning, and he wanted to force down this disordered internal energy, but it turned out that a mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the floor tiles under his feet red.
Since the transfer of the previous general banner, the second room has been suppressed by these people, but they have never moved, today is the first time they show their fangs, Zuo Yucheng is secretly bitter in his heart, he didn't expect that Wang Dianyu really dared to attack himself, and he did his best!
Even Zuo Yucheng's humble personality was already furious at this time, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Wang Dianyu angrily and said: "I'm the little flag officer of the Street Division, you attacked your colleagues for no reason, aren't you really afraid to blame Zun?!" β
Hearing this, Wang Dianyu sneered: "I attacked you for no reason? Has anyone seen it? It is clear that you are the first to speak disrespectfully to this official, just a small flag official, but a dog of Tang Xiaoyu, I think that I have the support of Cao Zhifu and the envoy, and repeatedly provoke the official in the lobby, the official is just unbearable, just teach a lesson, how can I blame me? β
Zuo Yucheng's face sank, he swept over the faces of several people, and when he saw the cold and cruel smiling faces of Zhang Haifeng and others, he suddenly understood that of course Wang Dianyu was not afraid, because there were four general flags to testify, and it was he who provoked him first, and no matter whether Commander Du believed it or not, it could not be investigated.
Looking at Wang Dianyu, who was approaching him step by step, Zuo Yucheng was almost desperate.
Suddenly, a hidden weapon flew in from outside the door like a meteor, approaching Wang Dianyu's door, and a master like Wang Dianyu, without observing with his eyes, can know the flight trajectory of the hidden weapon just by listening to the sound and identifying the position, he stretched out his two fingers, and clamped the hidden weapon between the electric light and flint, but the moment he started it, he felt wrong, there was no imaginary cold touch, but it was a little warm, this thing was not a golden stone and iron tool, and it felt soft and glutinous like cotton.
He looked at his hand with some surprise, and when he saw the so-called hidden weapon, his complexion changed greatly, and he threw the hidden weapon out as if he was electrocuted, and several other general flags hurriedly dodged, as if they did not want to be contaminated with this thing.
Zuo Yucheng looked at the hidden weapon that was thrown to the ground by Wang Dianyu, and his face became strange, what kind of secret weapon is that? It's clearly a piece of shit.
"Who?!" Wang Dianyu was furious and turned to look out of the hall.
No response.
But with the help of the ears of several people in the house, I clearly heard the subtle conversations of the two people.
"You're crazy! That person is the head flag of the sixth house, what are you provoking him for? β
"Shhhhhh
"Don't bother me if you get into trouble, I'll go first, hey? Don't grab my clothes, let go, tell you to let go and hear? Let go, I beg you... Uh-huh-" At the end of the conversation, it was as if someone had covered his mouth.
"Tell you to be quiet, hide honestly, and you will recruit people again!"
βγγγβ The atmosphere inside the house fell into an eerie silence.
Guo Chao flew outside the house to check, the sound of the conversation suddenly disappeared, he frowned, and Bai Zhijun and Zhao Hailong, who were sitting and drinking tea, said in unison: "Below." β
This lobby is supported by countless floor piles, about three feet high, each of which is coated with paint mixed with medicinal powder, which has the effect of protecting against rain and insects, and is indeed a good place for Tibetans.
Guo Chao jumped down, took a look at it, and found Wang Ling and Shi Geng hidden inside.
Wang Ling: "... β
Shi Geng: "... β
"Are you coming out on your own, or do you need me to help you?" Guo Chao's tone was not good.
The two third-class city servants glanced at each other, obediently climbed out, and Guo Chao carried one by one into the lobby with the back of his neck collar, and threw him directly on the ground.
Shi Geng knelt down instantly, put his head on the ground, trembling all over, and Wang Ling seemed to have returned to his own kang, sitting cross-legged, with no joy or sadness on his face.
He glanced at the handkerchief that had fallen on the ground, and could see the dirt marks on the handkerchief, Wang Dianyu had just wiped his hands with it, and when he was finished, he threw it there.
"Which of you threw that filth just now?!" Wang Dianyu strode up to the two of them and asked, pointing at them.
Wang Ling wrinkled his nose, although Wang Dianyu had wiped his fingers clean, he could still smell a trace of unpleasant stench, so that Wang Ling subconsciously hid backwards.
His subtle move, Wang Dianyu saw in his eyes, his face turned red, and he was already furious, the old man of the Street Division knew that this Liufang Zongqi had a habit of cleanliness and was a person who loved cleanliness very much, if he wasn't in the yamen, he would not hesitate to kill these two people with one palm.
"Say! Who the hell threw it?! No one answered the question, so Wang Dianyu asked again.
"Him!"
"Him!"
Wang Ling and Shi Geng each stretched out a finger and pointed at each other.
"You threw it!" Shi Gao loudly reprimanded Wang Ling for lying.
Wang Ling said in a salty tone: "You dare to say that that thing is not yours?" β
Shi Geng: "It was obviously pulled by a wild dog, why did it become mine?" β
Wang Ling: "The wild dog just pulled it to the ground, did you sweep it up?" β
Shi Geng: "Hey! Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm just doing the job of cleaning, isn't it my job to sweep up the shit? I just swept it up, and you threw it in with your own hands! β
Wang Ling: "You fart, why did I throw it with my hands?" Since I was a child, my mother taught me that this kind of dirty thing can't be grasped with your hands! β
Shi Geng: "Ah~ Your mother is so good, if you have a mother, I won't have a mother?" Ah yes, you didn't use your hands, you flew in with a dustpan! β
Wang Ling: "That's also your dustpan!" β
Wang Dianyu: "That's enough!! β
Regarding the mutual prevarication between the two, Wang Dianyu didn't have the heart to continue listening, he just wanted to split these two bastards, and he felt that he was scolded by these two people singing and harmonizing.
However, before he could attack, Zhang Haifeng took the lead in asking, "Which room are you from?" β
The two unfamiliar faces wearing the clothes of the city servants made Zhang Haifeng suspicious, the owners of each house are here, if the two of them say it casually and no one knows it, it is the work of pretending to be the city servants, Wang Dianyu killed them, and he will not bear the responsibility of killing his colleagues.
Zhang Haifeng looked at the two of them fiercely, Shi was frightened by this look, and said tremblingly: "Little... Small... The small ones are..."
"Can't tell?" Zhang Haifeng's eyes flashed with a fierce color.
Wang Dianyu understood, and just as he was about to make a move, he heard Zuo Yucheng say in a slightly weak voice: "They... Ahem... They are my second room, and you are not allowed to touch them. β
Zhang Haifeng sneered and said with a smile: "I just said that there are no rules in the second room, and it has only been less than half an hour, and I have caught two more people, what are the names of the two of you?" How much? β
Shi Geng: "Small... Small stone more, three... Third-class city servant. β
"Wang Ling..."After a pause, he added with some reluctance: "Third class." β
"Third class?" Except for Zhao Hailong, the faces of the rest of the general flags became ambiguous.
The third class means that the bottom can be handled at will, let alone appearing here at this moment.
Bai Zhijun adjusted the hem of his clothes, lightened the non-existent dust, and asked in a flat tone: "Do you know what kind of punishment you will receive if you eavesdrop outside the council hall?" β
Shi Geng's whole person stiffened suddenly, and then kowtowed like pounding garlic, begging for mercy: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" Today's second room is on duty, we are cleaning outside, I really have no intention of eavesdropping, please spare your lives! β
Hey, didn't you say that it's easy to mention your name anywhere? Why did you knock it yourself firstΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Wang Ling remembered what Shi Geng had said to him not long ago, and felt speechless for a while.
At this time, Zhao Hailong, who had always been silent, seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Ling.
"You're the king?"
"Huh?"
Everyone present except Zuo Yucheng was surprised or puzzled when they saw Zhao Hailong's reaction like this, and there was definitely a reason why Zhao Zongqi, who had a weak temperament, cared about.
Feeling the questioning gaze, Zhao Hailong explained: "The servants under him said that before the order, a young man riding a donkey appeared with Lord Cao's official sedan chair, that person called himself Wang Ling, he was very familiar, and greeted everyone one by one with a hippie smile, and later had a conflict with Zhang Zhanyi. β
When he said this, he didn't say anything, everyone suddenly realized that the co-author was your kid!
Only Shi Geng, who reported that the name was good everywhere, heard it in the clouds, and muttered in his heart, Zhang Xiaoqi in the fourth room was injured! What did Wang Ling do?
The third-class city servants and other city servants were divided into two places, and less than an hour passed since Wang ordered Zhang Zhanyi to be injured, and the city servants who witnessed the whole process were sent to patrol the streets and be on duty until noon, so the matter had not yet spread to the inner government, and Shi Geng had no way of knowing.
At this time, Fang knew that this third-class servant beside him was actually such a fierce man, although Shi Geng didn't understand it very well, but he was shocked!
"That's you!" Guo Chao came to him from behind Wang Ling and looked at him with angry eyes.
Wang Ling spread his hands and said, without denying it, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Bai Zhijun squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Guo Chao, I heard that one of Zhang Zhanyi's hands was abolished in the hands of this kid, and it would be okay if he was fined for half a year, but he was demoted to the second class, you can be said to have broken an arm." β
Guo Chao looked at him when he heard this, and said in an unkind tone: "Are you provoking me?" Although he is not as good at scheming as Bai Zhijun, it does not mean that he is a fool, he can occupy one of the six positions in this hall, none of them is mediocre, he likes to bully the soft and fear the hard, relying on his vision, he can't recognize which one is soft and which is hard, and it is easy to kick the iron plate.
Bai Zhijun waved his hand again and again: "Where is it, I just think that this kid is only third-class, even if he is personally elected by the prefect, there is nothing special, if you have the heart to avenge Zhang Zhanyi, you can slap him to death with one palm, just ask you to change places, don't defile this hall." β
Guo Chao was silent, he was weighing the pros and cons, from the perspective of others, Wang Ling injured Zhang Zhanyi on an errand for Cao Yong and Du Mingtang, and Du Mingtang personally went down, more like protecting Tang Xiaoyu, after all, almost the entire street division knew that although the commander was not good at managing the affairs of the yamen, he took special care of the girl who joined the company out of the ordinary.
It can be seen that Wang Ling is not a very important role, but if this is the case, why did Bai Zhijun make such a move to provoke himself to make a move?
Guo Chao frowned, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and thought in his heart, Bai Zhijun, a poisonous snake, must know part of the inside story, or hide other thoughts in it, he wants to kill people with a knife.
Wang Ling looked at the person who had just spoken, and at first glance he only felt that he was ordinary, and the people in this room belonged to him leisurely, but he felt that this person gave him a sense of cruelty and viciousness, especially when the other party squinted and watched the play, which made Wang Ling very unhappy with him.
The squinting eyes are all black-belliedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Wang Ling scolded lightly in his heart.
Guo Chao thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Wang Ling and the others: "You two eavesdropped on the deliberations of the sixth room, and temporarily put them in prison, and after the regular meeting is over, I will interrogate them personally." β
Shi Geng was shocked, although he hadn't been here for a long time, he had also heard from the old man that anyone who entered the prison of the Street Division had to let him peel off the skin without thinking about it, thinking of the fate he was about to face, Shi Geng sat down on the ground.
Zuo Yucheng said sharply: "Guo Chao, the person in my second room, it's not your turn to take care of it!" β
Guo Chao sneered and laughed: "I am the supervisor of the fourth room, no matter which room commits a crime, as long as it enters the prison, it will be under the control of my fourth room." β
"You!" Zuo Yucheng was angry, affected the injuries in his body, vomited a mouthful of blood again, his face instantly languished, and he couldn't finish what he wanted to say.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked into the lobby like a ghost, and under the gaze of everyone, walked to the vacant main seat and sat down.
Seeing this, everyone saluted one after another, and said in unison: "I have seen the envoy!" β
Du Mingtang hummed lightly and signaled for exemption.
He first picked up a file on the table, read it by himself, and suddenly glanced at Zuo Yucheng, who was seriously injured and languishing, and said, "Just sit down before you die, there are still many things to explain to you today." β
Zuo Yucheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare to be disobedient, he endured the pain like tearing of the internal organs in his body, and returned to his seat and sat down.
"Sit down, what are you all standing for? If you like to stand so much, I don't think there is any need to arrange these seats in the future. When Du Mingtang spoke, his eyes were still looking at the file in his hand, Guo Chao and Wang Dianyu glanced at each other, and returned to their seats one after another.
"The regular meeting is about to start, you two clean up here, and then get out." This third sentence is addressed to Wang Ling and Shi Geng.
Everyone looked at each other, Zhang Haifeng had a cold face, Guo Chao and Wang Dianyu wanted to say something, they opened their mouths and swallowed back, Bai Zhijun was still moody, Zhao Hailong sat up straight with a straight look, put his hands on his knees, and only Zuo Yucheng took a long breath.
Shi Gengru was amnesty, and hurriedly took the cleaning tools and lay on the ground to clean up, and even the handkerchief that Wang Dianyu threw on the ground was cleaned up by him, and it was quickly restored to its original state.
Wang Ling didn't move from beginning to end, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but his eyes were looking at Du Mingtang without blinking, until Shi Gengxing pulled him away.
