Chapter 088: Framed

"Uncle, your invitation..."

Chen Cao took the invitation and looked at it, and the signature was 'Zhejiang General Soldier Huang Sihai', and then said: "Zhao Xin, someone invited us to drink flower wine, clean up, and walk." ”

There is no set of rules for military people to invite guests to dinner, but there are some things that cannot be avoided, that is, the woman who accompanies the wine, Huang Sihai, as a feudal official, is a second-grade official, although he is a big step lower than Chen Cao in form, but he is better than he has been an official for a long time.

Chen Cao also felt that it was really insulting to be a general soldier in his fifties, and besides, this old guy did not suffer less defeat when he was in the Ningbo War, and he was actually wiped out by Zhao Tianlin's gang.

"Hahaha..."Huang Sihai laughed, and then introduced to Chen Cao: "Uncle Dingwu, I won't introduce you to the brothers who commanded the envoys, I must have met at the reception banquet a few days ago, these are the brothers of the Yamen of the Zhejiang General Army, and the most important thing is to appreciate the difference between the singing and dancing of Zhejiang and Kyoto." ”

Chen Cao sat in the first place with some embarrassment, because he carefully noticed that the youngest of the surrounding generals were all over forty-five years old, and Tang Shining, the general of Hangzhou, was even older than Huang Sihai, and this old guy actually hugged two sixteen-year-old girls.

"What the hell are these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods?" Chen Cao said silently in his heart.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Sihai cut to the chase: "Xia Guan knows that the main purpose of Ding Wubo's visit to Zhejiang this time is to recruit soldiers, why don't Xia Guan personally accompany Ding Wubo to recruit soldiers tomorrow?" ”

Chen Cao put down the wine glass, looked around at the people on the table, and looked at him with the girl in his arms, thinking that Huang Sihai, the general soldier, had long lost his military nature, and became the same as a civilian official, and reminded himself to stay in Hangzhou less as soon as he came up.

"Is Mr. Huang mistaken?" Chen Cao turned his head to stare at Huang Sihai: "This time Ben Bo is the official of His Majesty's imperial decree, inspecting the Zhejiang Mansions, this is the top priority, and the conscription is a small matter." ”

Huang Sihai was choked by Chen Cao like this, and he also felt that the young man in his twenties in front of him was not good at all, and then smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Dingwu, we are all military people, if you don't talk politely, Zhejiang can't be messed up..."

A group of people accompanied by an embarrassing smile, Chen Cao reacted immediately, and wanted to come to this Huang Sihai to play the edge, so he might as well accompany him to chatter: "Then Huang Zongbing thinks that six Jinyi guards died, and more than a dozen people were seriously injured and lightly injured, how can Ben Bo explain after he goes back?" ”

Huang Sihai let go of the little girl, and then said in a straight voice: "Just be charged, besides, they have been confirmed to fight each other with the people..."

"What is the difference between officials and civilians?" Chen Cao interrupted Huang Sihai's words.

Huang Sihai felt that it was a pit, and did not talk, Chen Cao looked at Zhao Xin behind him: "Zhao Zhenfu, tell me, can there be a saying that officials and ordinary people fight each other?" ”

Zhao Xin said in a loud voice: "Uncle Qiyu, between the people and the people, between officials and officials, there is a saying that the people beat the officials, according to the law for eighty battles, flowing for 1,500 miles; Jinyi Wei is different, fighting and killing Jinyi Guard, according to the military law of the Zhenfu Division, and the most punishment is for attempting to rebel. ”

Chen Cao nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Huang Sihai, who had an embarrassed expression: "Did you hear Mr. Huang?" It's not that Ben Bo and them are calculating, Ben Bo's people just arrived in the city of Hangzhou, they were surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and six people were killed alive. ”

Huang Sihai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "It's not a secret, the official was not in Hangzhou City at the time of the incident." ”

Huang Sihai was obviously throwing the pot, and Chen Cao stared at Tang Shining's old man: "What's the matter, General Tang was not there that day?" ”

Tang Shining let go of the two women and smiled awkwardly: "The last general went to inspect the garrisons of Zhufu with the Lord General of the Army." ”

"Oh..."Chen Cao suddenly realized: "That means that the killing of Jinyiwei actually has nothing to do with your chief soldier yamen?" ”

Huang Sihai said with a righteous face: "That's true. ”

"In that case, why are you a lobbyist for them? Isn't it Mr. Huang, what benefits did you receive from Liu Weisi? Chen Cao asked rhetorically.

Huang Sihai was commanded by Chen Cao, and he suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and he couldn't continue his words: "Uncle Ding Wu misunderstood, the lower officials invited Uncle Ding Wu just to drink and eat, not a lobbyist." ”

"Oh..."Chen Cao suddenly realized again: "In that case, what else does Mr. Huang say and don't do?" Drinking and playing with women? ”

"Huh?"

Chen Cao drank a little too much and felt a little dizzy, but he clearly refused the two smart Hangzhou women arranged by Huang Sihai to accompany him for the night, and asked Zhao Xin to send him back to Qinchaxingyuan.

"Zhao Xin, I feel that my lower abdomen is swollen tightly..."Chen Cao said as he rode his horse.

Zhao Xin quipped: "Uncle, I'm afraid you're going to do business..."

"No," Chen Cao shook his head, with a serious expression: "It's different from what I felt before, I feel like I've been drugged." Chen Cao shook his head vigorously.

Zhao Xin also became serious: "Isn't it Huang Sihai who did it on purpose?" ”

"There's something wrong with that wine..."

...

"The recipe of this wine is from the Western Regions, if it is dipped in tea... Hehe" Huang Sihai was extremely proud: "After the matter is completed tonight, we will continue to make a fortune, how are things prepared?" ”

"Everything is arranged..."Tang Shining nodded.

"Hey, hey..."

...

When Chen Cao returned to Xingyuan, he asked Zhao Xin to make a cup of strong hot tea, and then drank it all in one go, only to feel a little comfortable in his chest.

"Uncle, are you better?" Zhao Xin asked: "Do you want your subordinates to send people to surround the general army's yamen?" ”

Chen Cao shook his head: "I think they must want me to stay in the restaurant, and after I got into the woman they arranged, I was embarrassed to refuse their proposal, the old thing dared to drug me, Zhao Xin, go to the major pharmacies to find me."

"What?" Zhao Xin's brows furrowed.

Where did Zhao Xin hear these things, Chen Cao raised his head: "Haven't you heard of it?" After saying that, I remembered where this kind of ghost thing came from, and it was all a lie on TV: "Okay, you go down, I'll tell you tomorrow." ”

Qin Cha Xingyuan is a four-entry residence arranged by the officials of the Third Division, and the backyard is Chen Cao's residence, and Chen Cao, who has slept for less than half an hour, suddenly sat up.

It was useless to drink two glasses of cold water in a row, Chen Cao opened the door and walked to the thatched house, just in time to bump into Xu Ling who had been up at night, although it was about to be winter, but Xu Ling also saw Chen Cao's dress clearly with the help of the moonlight.

Xu Ling was married, and when she looked down, she saw Chen Cao's strange appearance.

His face turned red immediately: "Uncle... Uncle... You..."

...

Chen Cao got out of bed and got dressed: "I was framed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xin said: "Uncle, you are really a god, how do you know?" ”

Chen Cao said while dressing, "How did you find me?" ”

Zhao Xin smiled evilly: "It was Miss Xu who found her subordinates, she went into the bathroom and covered the woman's clothes, and then her subordinates went in and carried you out, uncle." ”

Chen Cao took it, and then said: "What nonsense are you talking about, I said that there is a problem with the wine, and I was framed." When is it? ”

Zhao Xin reacted at this time, and immediately returned to his seriousness: "Uncle, it's just past noon..."

"Huh?" Chen Cao glared...

Zhao Xin slapped his mouth: "That woman is Qi Yuanxiang, the daughter of Qi Shangwen of Qiantang County." ”

"What?" Chen Cao was excited: "What's the matter with Qi Shangwen's daughter?" ”

"After the subordinates carried you out last night, just after the son, the officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang and the prefect of Hangzhou and others all arrived in Xingyuan to see you, uncle, and then the subordinates learned that Qi Shangwen had sent a message to the political envoy of Zhejiang, saying that Uncle Qin had robbed his daughter to go to bed..."

"Nonsense..."Chen Cao scolded sharply: "These grandsons have a set, and they dare to frame me." ”

Zhao Xin looked at Chen Cao seriously: "They connected a lot of people to come to interrogate, and now they are all blocked in the lobby by Gonggong Wu, and..."

"Say..."

Chen Cao gasped...

"Four or five thousand people gathered outside the line, saying that they would drive us out of Zhejiang."

"Bastard thing..."Chen Cao hit the table with a punch: "Tandem... Let Zhang Fengnian see me. ”

Chen Cao obviously wanted to suppress these people, but Zhao Xin hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, are you confused? If we start to suppress it, it will not be too much for these people to kill us. When the time comes, the Donglin Party will talk nonsense in the court, and we will be finished. ”

As soon as Zhao Xin said this, Chen Cao immediately relieved himself, and suddenly thought of someone: "Go, call Huang Chunyao to me, by the way, Xia Yunyi also called." ”

Chen Cao is a little panicked every time he encounters something, it takes a long time to calm down, if it wasn't for Zhao Xin to stop him just now, he might have given some bullshit order.

"Student Huang Chunyao (Xia Yunyi), I've seen my uncle..."

Huang Chunyao also said that he was born in a person, and his talent was outstanding, and he went to Donglin Academy to study but deeply felt that Qian Qianyi's knowledge and Baguwen could only make a fuss, if it was useless to govern the country, he expressed his dissatisfaction in front of real money Qianyi, and then went back to his hometown to find someone to visit, but he didn't want to be framed for disobeying Tan Dinghua, a scholar and politician in Hangzhou, and was locked up by the Qiantang County Ya for a reason, because he was a person, although he was tortured, but he was also locked up for more than 100 days. If he hadn't met Chen Cao, he didn't know how long he would have been imprisoned.

After coming out, he met Xia Yunyi, who was also studying in Donglin Academy, and the two met late, hit it off, and prepared to seek a half-official position under Chen Cao.

Zhao Xin told the ins and outs, Chen Cao added some of them, Huang Chunyao and Xia Yunyi both frowned, and after a long time, Huang Chunyao said: "From this point of view, when Huang Sihai did it deliberately, according to the students, the entire Zhejiang officialdom should be their people, this time they mobilized four or five thousand people to surround Xingyuan, and they should have no fear..."

Xia Yunyi nodded: "The student agrees with Brother Yunsheng's words, uncle, when they abandon Qi Shangwen, and then protect the overall situation, if they can successfully bring down the uncle, Qi Shangwen may be able to continue to be promoted, according to the student, it should start from Qi Yuanxiang's body." ”

"Qi Yuanxiang?" Chen Cao frowned: "In this way, this woman should know where she was at the time, and she should also know what might happen." ”

Both of them nodded, Huang Chunyao thought about it, and said: "Uncle, the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the people outside the door, and not to exacerbate the increase in the number of people, and the key is that the officials of the three divisions in the hall now should start with Liu Weisi." ”

Chen Cao turned his head to look at Zhao Xin: "Can Jinyi Wei hold Liu Weisi's handle?" ”

"Yes, but it's all trivial things, and the magistrate's investigation is not as strong as that of Jingshi and Jinling." Zhao Xindao.

Chen Cao took a deep breath and asked again: "Is it safe to start with Huang Sihai?" ”

Huang Chunyao frowned, and suddenly had an idea: "Didn't Uncle bring back an official from the Inspection Department named Liu Youwei before?" Listening to Lord Zhao say that he is a relative of Liu Weisi, he will start with him. ”

"Liu Youwei..."
