Chapter 32: Acquaintances
A woman who falls in love is cute, and a woman who falls in love is scary.
Princess Jinde's roar shocked Chen Ke's heart, it seems that even if Chen Ying doesn't kill Qin's sister-in-law, Princess Jinde will kill their mother and son.
"Then you go to hell with me!"
Chen Ke clenched his fists and wanted to kill Princess Jinde with one punch.
"What people!"
The guards of the Princess's Mansion hurriedly came and raised their crossbow arrows at Chen Ke.
"Pony!"
Some guards knew Chen Ying, and when they saw that familiar face, they were so frightened that they had a miserable look on their faces, even if they were soldiers on the battlefield, they were still a little pale with fright when they saw a person whose head had been cut off appear alive in front of everyone.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Regardless of whether the pony is a human or a ghost, the most important thing is to protect the princess.
Seeing this, Chen Ke did not hesitate, and took the initiative to break the barrier spell.
"Bang."
It was like a blowing air bag exploding, and a puff of white smoke appeared in the entire mourning hall, and then an arrow shot in the direction of Chen Ke standing.
"Protect the princess!"
The guards shouted, and quickly ran in the direction of Princess Jinde.
When the fog lifted, there was no longer Chen Ke in the mourning hall. Princess Jinde was a little dumbfounded, she looked at the place where Chen Ying's ghost disappeared, and her eyes showed puzzlement.
"Why do this to me? What the hell did I do wrong! What is there to be nostalgic for a rural woman, and what can a child do, I can give birth! ”
Princess Jinde looked into the distance, and after she regained her composure, she said in a cold voice, "This palace is going to visit the Holy Master." ”
"Princess, it has not yet been determined whether that person is a ghost just now, and ...... for safety," said one of the guards.
Princess Jinde's face was cold, and she said slowly: "This palace doesn't need it, whether he is really a ghost or someone is playing tricks, as long as he dares to appear again, this palace will keep him!" ”
"Yes!" The guards immediately prepared the car and escorted Princess Jinde to the Ansheng Palace.
Chen Ke followed the way he came in, turned out of the princess's mansion, just now, if it weren't for the guards of the princess's mansion who came over with a crossbow, he could kill the princess with one punch, and let her also go underground to apologize to Sister-in-law Qin!
"It's a pity!"
Chen Ke followed the street and walked towards the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
This time it was missed, but there was a next time, and Princess Kinder was there and would not run away. Chen Ke thought that as long as he cultivated and entered the Qi refining realm that the teacher said, then he could use the name of Long Tu to kill Princess Jinde.
"I need Lord Long to explain this matter clearly."
Chen Ke walked into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
In the back hall, after listening to Chen Ke forcing Princess Jinde, Long Tu frowned and said, "You went to assassinate Princess Jinde?" ”
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "I didn't stab, I just used some blinding spells to find out who killed Xiaobao!" Sure enough, it's her, a poisonous woman! My lord, send someone to arrest her. ”
"Chen Ke, this government can't arrest people just based on your remarks, everything needs evidence, especially the royal princess. She is not Chen Ying, and she can't do it casually. We need hard evidence to judge her! ”
Long Tu said earnestly, even if he is in charge of the criminal case, he can't deal with a regent princess at will!
"Why?" Chen Ke asked.
Long Tu's face was incomparably bright, and he said slowly: "Because they are the king's law, they stand above the law!" You can't torture them, and you can't even give them extrajudicial mercy, these are all written in the law and cannot be changed. ”
It's like murder, common people murder, capital crime. The royal family kills people, and you can avoid death by paying money!
Chen Ke looked surprised and said, "Why is this happening?" ”
Long Tu said slowly: "Because, they are the law-makers, and they will leave a way out for themselves and their descendants. ”
"Why is there such a law, isn't it that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people?" Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
Long Tu smiled: "That's just a lie to children, do you believe it?" Even if the government violates the law, it will not be the same crime as the common people. You can't even imagine this kind of thing. ”
"What is the meaning of the existence of the law?" Chen Ke asked.
Long Tu smiled, pointed outside and said, "It's to better rule the world." However, the government will find a balance between stability and fairness. ”
After listening to Long Tu's narration at this time, Chen Ke had a feeling that he had seen a new world. It can't be said that it is a new world, but the essence of the world, which turns out to be so ridiculous.
"Lord Long, then what we agreed on yesterday?" Chen Ke asked.
He agreed with Long Tu to strictly investigate Princess Jinde, and he didn't know if Long Tu would go to investigate.
Long Tu said: "Yes, but it will take time, it will take more time than the Cha'an Holy Palace, and once the emperor speaks and pardons Princess Jinde's capital crime, there is nothing the government can do." Therefore, you need to become a practitioner to enforce the justice of heaven and earth! ”
The emperor can kill a colt, and that is just an outsider. Although the emperor and Princess Jinde are inseparable, but the Queen Mother is alive, and the emperor will give the Queen Mother a face, and will not really kill Princess Jinde.
In the end, it may be to use Princess Jinde's power to exchange Princess Jinde's life.
Long Tu has been in the sea for a long time, and he has already guessed the final result, but he just didn't tell Chen Ke, for fear of hitting Chen Ke and making him fall into madness, desperate to assassinate Princess Jinde.
Chen Ke would become a wanted criminal and be arrested by the imperial court. This is not what Long Tu wants to see, he can only slowly appease Chen Ke.
Give Chen Ke a condition that he can't complete, let time grind away Chen Ke's enthusiasm, and grind out Chen Ke's youthful frivolity!
"I'm waiting for that day!"
Chen Ke gave up his hand and retired, went to his office, and was on duty.
Long Tu looked at Chen Ke's departure and sighed slightly: "I hope you can be a righteous person, not a madman who is forced to a dead end!" ”
Half an hour later, an errand officer came from outside, and he came to Chen Ke and said, "Guard Chen, why are you still guarding the prison here?" ”
Chen Ke asked, "My duty is to guard the prison!" ”
After hearing this, the errand officer couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You were promoted to the third-class palace guard by Your Majesty yesterday, and your current rank is even higher than that of Zhang Guard, and Zhang Guard is only a fifth-class guard. ”
"That's right." Chen Ke somewhat understood, but Lord Long didn't arrange other tasks for him.
"What should I do?" Chen Ke asked.
The messenger pulled Chen Ke to the house on the other side, and said: "You are now sitting in the hall, you don't need to be on duty, the front of the palace is a palace guard, you are now a palace guard lent to the adults by His Majesty, you don't need to be on duty, if the adults are in need, they will come to summon you." ”
Chen Ke thought for a while and asked, "How much is the salary of the third-class palace front division guard in a month?" ”
The difference said: "I don't know about this, but Zhang Escort is a fifth-class guard, five taels of silver a month!" ”
"Five taels!" Chen Ke's eyes lit up, "The fifth class is five taels, how can my third class also be seven taels." ”
The errand officer looked at Chen Ke and felt very evil, although everyone was very happy to be promoted and made a fortune, but you were promoted expressionlessly, and it was a bit too much to hear that the salary showed a wealth obsession.
"Escort Chen, of course there is. I'll take you to your guardhouse, where you can rest if you have nothing to do, and someone will summon you when something happens. The difference said with a smile.
Although Chen Ke likes money, Chen Ke's strength is real, dare to be in front of the Queen Mother and Princess Jinde, and the immortal master of Ansheng Palace, Chen Ke slashed the horse Chen Ying with a knife.
The people of the entire Jingzhao Mansion Yamen admired Chen Ke very much, especially the emperor promoted Chen Ke to the third-class guard on the spot, so that the officials admired Chen Ke even more.
Many officials who knew Chen Ke had begun to approach Chen Ke and befriended Chen Ke, who was favored by the emperor, and it was not easy to be promoted in the future.
Came to a simple small house, two feet long and one foot wide, with a table inside, and a bookcase behind it, where a few books were placed.
"Chen Huwei, this is your office in the future, and I ask you to take care of your brothers." This difference took out a jade gourd from the cuff and stuffed it into Chen Ke's hand.
"Lao Sun, my brother and I bought it with a few pooled money, I wish you a high promotion, don't dislike it." The difference said with a smile.
Chen Ke glanced at it, he didn't want to accept the gift, and was about to refuse, when the door opened, Zhang Huwei came in with a bandage wrapped around his waist, and saw the difference and gave Chen Ke a gift. Especially with Chen Ke's hesitant appearance, Zhang Huwei smiled: "Take it." ”
Seeing this, the difference smiled at Escort Zhang, then turned and ran out.
"Why?" Chen Ke looked puzzled, "Although I love money, I take it in a good way, and I don't want to be a corrupt person." ”
Zhang Huwei said: "If he asks you for money, you can choose." You are ascending today, they are worried that you will wear small shoes to them, and the gift to you is to buy a peace charm. If you don't accept it, they will have to tremble in the future, and maybe they will stare at you, find your mistakes, and prevent you from deliberately finding their faults! ”
Chen Ke said unexpectedly: "There is still such a statement? ”
Zhang Huwei said: "The Yamen is the largest ruling place in the first government, and the Tao is very deep, even Lord Long is inevitable, but you have to distinguish what you should take and what you shouldn't take." This kind of gift, in the future, when they are promoted, you can buy another one and send it back. ”
After hearing this, Chen Ke said: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your advice." ”
"Haha, I don't dare to instruct Lord Chen, you are now a military attache of the seventh rank, and I am a fifth-class guard from the sixth rank!" Zhang Huwei said with a smile.
Chen Ke knew that Zhang Huwei was joking, but he didn't care, Zhang Huwei also helped him a lot, Chen Ke would not recognize his old friend after he was promoted.
"What's the matter with Brother Zhang coming to me?" Chen Ke asked.
Zhang Huwei said with a strange face: "I know a friend who heard about you, and he said that it was your fellow villager, and he held a banquet in the evening, so I invited you over." ”
"The whole of Shanyin County is in the flood, where do I still have fellow villagers, I recognize the wrong person, I won't go." Chen Ke refused.
Zhang Huwei said: "His name is Gu Yuanjiang, do you recognize him?" ”
"Gu Yuanjiang?" Chen Ke remembered, "Uncle Gu? ”
