Chapter 44: Taking over and resuming provocation (3)
"Such a big thing, can Yue Guogong know?" Shen Jing squinted his eyes slyly and asked.
Wan Heshun knew his scheming, paused for a moment, and then slowly brushed his beard: "I have discussed it with the Duke of Yue. He pushed it and said, "My house is small, if the emperor is stationed, in case it is a little careless, not only will outsiders see the joke, but also lose the courtesy." Since Lu Gong said this, he can't force it, but Wan Mou's mansion can welcome the saint. ”
Shen actually listened to his gentle words, and couldn't come up with useful words, so he was quite stupid, and said: "The prince will take over, and it will be better." I'll write a letter and send someone to present it back to the court, and you should also prepare for it. ”
"This is nature," Wan Heshun handed the exhausted tea bowl to the servant, "but will the father-in-law send someone back again?" It seems more convenient for me to send an official from Nanjing to submit a letter to the Holy Saint, and to have a description of the situation here. ”
Although Shen Jing was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's only ordered by the prince." ”
Wan Heshun brought the full tea again, and smiled kindly at him: "Gonggong Shen, this official is ashamed of the name of the king of the county, and he does not like to be called 'prince'; ”
Shen actually listened, and Nuo Nuo said yes.
"You, turn your head."
Qi Zhi leaned on the gate of the city, checking the passers-by with the soldiers of Yuefu. Since the friendship between Wanlu and the People, the soldiers of both have been sharing these tasks, and it is not unusual for the people of Nanjing City to be on the same day as peace. But Qi Zhi was like a cat, vigilantly staring at the crowd of people who were out of the city.
"Okay, you can go over." As soon as Qi Shi saw his face, he stretched his eyebrows and commanded reassuringly.
His eyes looked ahead again, and he saw a man hiding in a crowd with a hat brim.
The man passed by Qi Zhi, but his eyes were quick and he grabbed the man's hand: "What? Want to sneak out of town? ”
The man couldn't get away, so he had to lift his hat and scold: "Qi Zhi, you're blind!" ”
Qi Zhi saw that he was from Wanfu, and he was furious: "You bastard, you cover that dog's face for no reason, you must have no good intentions!" Someone, search! ”
The man was not afraid, and took out a recital from his bosom: "Take a good look! Eunuch Shen's recital, I want to present it to the emperor! If you make a mistake, I will kill you first and ask for the guilt! ”
Qi Zhi's face turned red, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to give an order and let him go out of the city.
He waited for another half an hour, looked up into the distance, but still saw no one, and his heart was extremely sad. He yawned, his mind no longer here, thinking about withdrawing his troops for the time being.
As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a familiar face passing by, but it was missed by the officers and soldiers. Qi Shi immediately cheered up and quickly caught up.
"Stop! What do you run? Qi Shi shouted to a man wearing a felt hat.
The man ignored the chief's questioning, and his legs were windy, and he ran faster and faster.
After all, Qi Zhi was from a military background, and after a few brisk steps, he chased after him and pressed his shoulder, and the man stopped.
"Turn your face!" Qi Shi shouted.
The man still didn't obey the order, so Qi Shi grabbed him by the collar and carried him over.
"Good!" Qi Shi looked at his face and laughed, "It's you." The official has something to inquire about. He waved his hand to the soldiers behind him: "Take him away." ”
The man's face was pale, and when he was about to say something, he was dragged by life and taken to Qi Mansion.
"The grass people are just here to do business, and they can't do anything to ...... you, master."
The man was crying and begging for mercy, and the officers and soldiers in the hall had already put the flat pole up. Qi Shi opened the green cloth on the basket and saw that there were more than a dozen wheat cakes in it, as if there was nothing else; Then he reached out again and took out a silver ticket from underneath, worth fifty taels.
"Fifty taels?" Qi Shi sneered, "That's a lot of money." ”
The man was frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Listen to me, the small one is a common people, and he received the silver from Wang Xiancheng of Chao County, and came to send a letter to his friend, but he ......" He suddenly stopped talking.
"Go on. Do you want silver or do you want to live?! Qi Zhi glared at him angrily.
The man could not stand the intimidation, so he told the truth: "I heard...... I heard that Wang Xiancheng was originally a certain Shangshu of a certain department in Nanjing, but because of the chaos and escaped, he changed his name and hid in Chao County. He said that there was an old confidant here who had sent me to deliver money. Unexpectedly, they were afraid of things, refused to accept the money, and kicked me out, and the grass people had to go back with the money. ”
"It seems that Wang Xiancheng wants to come back...... Qi Zhi asked him again: "If this is the case, why don't you take advantage of this to flee and spend it yourself?" Is there a falsehood in the words? ”
The people panicked and said, "The villain has a family property in Chao County, so he must not run elsewhere." ”
Qi Zhi listened to what he said, and they were all smooth and self-consistent, so he was convinced, nodded his head, and told the people to get up.
Qi Zhi took out the silver ticket: "Put this ticket back." ”
The people did not dare.
"When you return to Chao County, you just need to tell him, 'Lu Gong is willing to contact him, if you have the heart to return, you can come and see him.'" Got it? Hurry up and put it away. ”
The man took the silver ticket with trembling hands.
Ten thousand parties sent people to write a letter to the saint, this was the first news that Qi reported to Lu Fangxuan. Lu Fangxuan was not surprised, but smiled instead of being angry: "I have foreseen this matter for a long time. Wan Heshun only has party disputes in his heart, and he doesn't care about the safety of the community. It is often said that he is the dog that guards the door, and he is beautiful. In fact, he is disloyal and unjust, and he is just a villain. ”
"He is not benevolent, we should repair another table, please set Yuefu as a line to show resistance." Qi Zhi said angrily.
"His people are going fast, and it's a futile effort. Except to teach Eunuch Shen to see clearly my internal discord, it has no effect. Lu Fangxuan pointed at Zheng Shiyan, "Commander Zheng, you have a gentle temperament, send you to talk to Wan Heshun, so that the two families don't have to quarrel." ”
"What if he doesn't listen?" Qi Zhi was very unhappy with this result.
Lu Fangxuan glanced at it with cold eyes: "I have my own way." ”
Zheng Shiyan retreated, and Qi Shi said to Lu Fangxuan: "There is a second thing. The people sent by Wang Xiancheng were arrested by me, and the people were all in ambush, saying that Wang Xiancheng had sent silver to his old department in order to return, but the people were unwilling, and the silver was not taken. ”
Lu Fangxuan slapped the table, and his excitement was overflowing: "What a good thing!" What a good thing! If he is willing to come here in person and discuss with me, Nanjing can be decided in January! ”
"Come in."
"Yo, it's Commander Zheng, you're really a rare guest," Wan Heshun stepped forward and saluted Master Zheng, "Why are you here?" ”
Zheng Shiyan knelt on the ground, and said to him: "The king of the county, it is not a deliberate plan to abolish official affairs for personal gain, I hope you will not forget it!" ”
Wan Heshun's face changed suddenly: "What happened?" You came to talk about this, and the official didn't know it. ”
