Chapter 14: Temptation
readx;
After a major breakthrough in the case, there was nothing to do. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info whether the next step is to strictly investigate and deal with it, or to compromise conditionally, it depends on the news in the capital, even Wang Buregret, who has always been enthusiastic about work, happily watched Chu Nan and Wang Defu quarrel, fighting for a little men's face.
At this time, Liang Rang and Jiang Yue walked into the house hand in hand, and greeted the three of them with a smile, Chu Nan looked at Jiang Yue's eyes and quietly put away the account book.
Jiang Yue saw Chu Nan's small movements, his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "You have been coming to Hangzhou for so long, and the officials rarely come to visit you. ”
Wang Defu stepped forward and said, "Master Jiang laughed, such a good place to live, such a good food, we are already grateful." ”
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and after a while, they became warm, and they were about to set off, Jiang Yue smiled at Chu Nan and said, "Commander Chu, I heard that General Yang's daughter is also here, why don't you let her go with her." ”
Chu Nan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Jiang was kindly invited, and he shouldn't have refused, but ............"
Jiang Yue and Chu Nan lost their faint awe of Wang Defu when they talked, and their words showed the enthusiasm of the elders and juniors, and they pretended to be dissatisfied: "Commander Chu has seen the outside, General Yang has been in the south for more than ten years, and he still has some friendship with me." Besides, after all, you have the imperial mandate with you, and it is not a way to let Miss Yang follow you. It just so happens that the little girl is the same age as Miss Yang, and she happens to be a companion, so she won't be complained by General Yang in the future. ”
Chu Nan was still a little hesitant, Jiang Yue frowned and said, "Could it be that Commander Chu is afraid that this official will neglect Miss Yang?" As long as Miss Yang arrives at the mansion, all the food and clothing are the same as that of a little girl. ”
Chu Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Jiang is serious, and the lower official just wants to ask Lin'er's opinion." ”
Jiang Yue walked in front and sneered: "Miss Yang is the wife and sister of Commander Chu, can't the Lord do this?"
Chu Nan smiled wryly, and said in his heart, it seems that he really can't be the master.
..................................................................
Although Yang Lin was a little reluctant, Yang Lin still preferred to stay in Hangzhou than to go back to the capital.
Although Jiang Yue said that it was a thin wine family banquet, Chu Nan looked at a large table full of dishes, and he could also see that this table of family banquets was not something that ordinary people could put out, even Wang Defu, who had an imperial chef at home, secretly swallowed his saliva.
Although there are a lot of dishes, there are very few people who are qualified to serve on the table, Chu Nan and Wang Defu needless to say, Wang Buregret is the actual person in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, plus Jiang Yue and Liang Rang, there are only five people.
Chu Nan looked at the empty seat in his hand, but he didn't think that it was caused by the mistake of the Jiang Mansion's subordinates, so he asked, "I don't know who else Lord Jiang invited?"
Jiang Yue laughed and clapped his hands, Chu Nan looked back and saw that it was an acquaintance, and the last guest turned out to be the personable Zhang Ziliang, the housekeeper of the Zhang family.
Jiang Yue pointed to Zhang Ziliang, who saluted everyone, and said, "This is a guest specially found by the official, and this banquet is still organized by Steward Zhang." ”
Liang Rang's expression was faint, and he was full of adults, and Zhang Ziliang also completely lowered his posture, and Liang Rang kept bending down without speaking. After waiting for a while, Liang Rangcai smiled and said, "But it's troublesome to manage Zhang, thank you very much." ”
Wang Defu turned his face away and muttered something in a low voice, Chu Nan listened carefully, but he was talking about "pedantic scholarly anger", knowing that he was talking about Liang Rang pretending, he smiled and shook his head.
After a while, everyone understood Jiang Yue's intention of inviting Zhang Ziliang to be a guest, he is simply a god at the wine table, no matter what the topic is, she can say a few words to you, even if you don't understand, you won't feel neglected or hurt your self-esteem, you don't know the ability to do things, and the ability to be a person is a must.
Just after discussing some poetry with Liang Rang, Zhang Ziliang turned around and mingled with Wang Buregret, who had been to the Northland, and changed the cup for a while, each recalling the scenery outside the Saiwai, and the rest of the people also yearned for it.
Zhang Ziliang sighed and said: "Seven or eight years have passed in a flash, and when I went to the Northland for the first time, I was often bullied by the Hu people. ”
Wang Buregret was stunned and said, "Then what are you going to do? Three or four years ago, I went to inspect the grain and grass in the north, and those Hu people looked very honest." ”
Zhang Ziliang smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang said that you are joking, you are going to be an official, and I am just a profit-seeking businessman, as long as there is money to be made, what is that bit of suffering?"
Wang Buregret smiled and said: "That's right, but it's good now, as long as the imperial army defeats the Hulunge grassland, even if it is a wild wolf with fangs, it will no longer dare to be as arrogant as before." ”
Speaking of the Northern Expedition, this is the most discussed thing in the Liang Dynasty recently, even the most humble beggar can say a few words in a decent way, all of you are people with status, and it is naturally not too shallow to speak, although the deep things dare not be said, but look forward to the scene of victory, by the way, praise a few words of praise to His Majesty the Great Emperor Liang, the banquet is also considered to be **.
Wang does not regret the rise of drinking, Wang Defu is old and a little greedy for cups, drunk and dizzy, fortunately his sanity is still there, although he walks a little fluttering, but finally he does not play drunk and crazy nonsense.
Jiang Yue saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he called a servant and whispered a few words, and after a while, the meal was cleaned up and the brewed strong tea was served.
Zhang Ziliang pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from your lords, the head of the family has long wanted to visit you, but first, the head of the family is busy with affairs, and secondly, hehe, the head of the family has the courage to visit, for fear that others will gossip and add pressure to you." ”
Liang Rang shook his head and said: "Steward Zhang is too worried, when will there be no pressure on the Metropolitan Procuratorate to handle the case?" Actually, I should have been waiting to visit your family master, but unfortunately I have been a little busy with official business recently, and I will visit the house after a while." ”
Zhang Ziliang said cautiously: "I heard that you adults have found out Zhang Mingjing's previous secret account, which is actually very involved? Of course, the villain is just curious, don't be surprised." ”
As soon as these words came out, the room was instantly quiet, Jiang Yue closed his eyes and recuperated, Wang Buregret bowed his head and said nothing, Wang Defu smiled meaningfully. Hangzhou is the base camp of the Zhang family, even if the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate try their best to keep it secret, there will always be some clues, Zhang Ziliang asked clearly, and if he wants to keep it secret, it seems that everyone is not atmospheric enough.
Chu Nan looked at Liang Rang, who was drinking tea leisurely, and said with a smile: "Steward Zhang's news is also fast enough, but everything is still in the demonstration stage, and no conclusions can be drawn yet." ”
Zhang Ziliang said indignantly: "Recently, it has been rumored in the neighborhood that you came to Hangzhou to trouble the Zhang family, and you have fabricated many crimes, and it is really unfortunate for the Zhang family to have a wicked person like Zhang Mingjing, but I also ask you to find out the truth as soon as possible and return the Zhang family to innocence." ”
Liang Rang snorted coldly: "When have those rumors in the market been broken? If they have to be taken seriously, what is the use of asking me to procure?"
Zhang Ziliang echoed: "What Lord Liang said is just the provocative words of some ignorant villains. Fortunately, there are still capable ministers like Lord Liang and Yasukuni Gong in the court, who can speak for the Zhang family, who have suffering. ”
Liang Rang adjusted his sitting posture, and was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Ziliang's straightforward sycophant, but he was very happy to hear that he and Yasukuni Gong were put together.
Chu Nan squinted his eyes, listening to this meaning, the Zhang family heard the rumors and was ready to take the upper route to suppress the case again. Now that Emperor Liang is driving in person, he ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and the Duke of Yasukuni, Wang Yangming, Chu Yuan, etc. assisted him, if Guo Huai, the oldest Duke of Yasukuni, spoke out to support the Zhang family, it would be difficult to say.
Jiang Yue saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, clapped his hands and said hello, and saw a girl in white walking in holding Yang Lin's hand and saluting everyone softly.
Jiang Yue pointed to the girl in white and said, "This is the little girl Jiang Ling, the same age as Miss Yang. If the official wants to keep the girl in the house, he has to reassure the commander of Chu. ”
Yang Linqiao's face was slightly red, and Chu Nan said with a smile: "Lord Jiang is joking, Lord Jiang understands the difficulties of the lower officials, and he is already grateful for taking Lin'er to the upper and lower officials of the mansion, but Lin'er is used to messing around, and the lower officials are afraid of causing trouble to Lin'er to the adults." ”
Jiang Yue pretended to be angry and said: "Does Commander Chu think that the status of this official does not need Chu Shangshu and General Yang? In the city of Hangzhou, this official is really not afraid of trouble. Besides, the official sees that the virtuous niece is very knowledgeable, and it is not at all like what Commander Chu said. ”
Yang Lin secretly looked at Chu Nan, blushing a lot, and said in a low voice: "Lord Jiang has won the award, I ............"
Jiang Yue was full of dissatisfaction and said, "Do you still call your lord?"
Yang Lin stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Uncle Jiang." ”
Jiang Yue smiled with satisfaction, and kept making fun of Yang Lin, turning the solemn atmosphere just now into a warm one.
In the end, Jiang Yue smiled and said to Chu Nan: "Ming said that the little girl wants to go to the West Lake with her niece Xian, if the commander of Chu is not at ease." It's better to go together, so that the little girl can take you to visit the scenery of Hangzhou. ”
Chu Nan thought about it and felt that Yang Lin was still not familiar with Jiang Ling, so he might be able to let go of it with his own presence. Anyway, there is nothing to do, and the West Lake is famous, so it doesn't hurt to go.
Wang Defu burped and muttered: "I use praise for Lord Liang, use nag for Wang Buregret, and pour for the old man, why do you use lust to lure you?
Jiang Ling lowered his head shyly, Jiang Yue and Liang Rang couldn't cry or laugh, but Chu Nan could only look embarrassed.
