Chapter 82: Death Without Proof
The academy dispersed, Chen Pingzhang pulled Shangguan Zhaoyang and must invite him to dinner.
Shangguan Zhaoyang said embarrassedly: "Brother Pingzhang, I still have something to do today, or I will invite you tomorrow." ”
"Then tomorrow, I'll invite you tomorrow."
"I am a landlord, and I should have come to invite me."
The two were arguing over who would be the treat.
I only heard someone shouting: "Shangguan Xiaolangjun ......"
Shangguan Zhaoyang followed the prestige, and saw a man dressed as a servant standing next to a carriage and bowing to him.
This man looked at the eyes, who is it?
Chen Pingzhang recognized Zhu Sheng at a glance: "You...... You're not ......."
Isn't it a descendant of the Song family?
He had seen this person at the birthday banquet of the Song Mansion.
Zhu Sheng was stunned, Chen Langjun had his back to him just now, so he didn't recognize it.
"Little Zhu Sheng, I've seen Chen Langjun."
Shangguan Zhaoyang was surprised: "Brother Pingzhang, do you know?" ”
But he doesn't know who this Zhu Sheng is!
Zhu Sheng said: "Shangguan Langjun, my master asked the little one to pick you up." ”
"Who is the master of your house?"
"Your master is Jiang Niangzi?"
Shangguan Zhaoyang and Chen Pingzhang asked at the same time.
Zhu Sheng arched his hand to Chen Pingzhang: "Exactly." ”
Chen Pingzhang suddenly, it seems that when he was in the Song Mansion, Zhu Sheng was Jiang Niangzi's person, and Jiang Niangzi and Song Yu planned to come to the capital after leaving, so they let Zhu Sheng come over first.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
As soon as he said goodbye to the post station, he regretted it tightly, and left without saying goodbye to Jiang Niangzi, it seemed that he was very weak-hearted, very cowardly, and ungentlemanly.
At that time, he was so confused that he didn't understand a lot of things.
Later, he understood that he gave up directly without even fighting for it, so how could he talk about liking?
Therefore, he has been quietly inquiring about Jiang Niangzi's news, but he has found nothing.
I didn't expect to meet Zhu Sheng today.
Shangguan Zhaoyang was curious: "How does Brother Pingzhang recognize Jiang Niangzi?" ”
Chen Pingzhang said vaguely: "Jiang Niangzi was in Jiangcheng before, so I know it." ”
Zhaoyang Xian Brother doesn't even know Zhu Sheng, which means that he is not very familiar with Jiang Niangzi, Jiang Niangzi's affairs in Jiangcheng, Jiang Niangzi herself is willing to say it, and it is not good for him to talk too much.
However, he was also curious, how could Jiang Niangzi know Brother Zhaoyang when she should have arrived in the capital soon?
"Brother Xian, go quickly, don't make people wait for a long time."
In fact, Chen Pingzhang wanted to go with him, but Jiang Niangzi invited Zhaoyang Xian, and he would be presumptuous if he went with him.
turned to Zhu Sheng and said, "Tell your lady, I'll visit you another day." ”
Jiang family.
Jiang Wanning is looking at the account books and settling accounts, and the four shops are under the plate, repairing and distributing the goods in the early stage, please ...... Counting the gifts to the officials of the Yahu room of the capital government, the permission to make wine, etc., it cost almost 90,000 taels of silver.
The house promised to Aunt Wei was at least three thousand.
This money is really not spent.
"Lady, lady, Zhu Sheng brought Xiao Langjun back."
Jiang Wanning was overjoyed, and hurriedly put down the account book and went out to greet her.
"Xiao Langjun." Jiang Wanning smiled and bowed.
Shangguan Zhaoyang hurriedly returned the salute: "Jiang Niangzi, the kid is bothered." ”
"It's an honor, Xiao Langjun, please."
Shangguan Zhaoyang secretly looked at Jiang Wanning, and finally saw her true face.
He always thought that his sister's appearance was the most outstanding, but he didn't expect this Jiang Niangzi to be so beautiful, with willow leaves and curved eyebrows, almond eyes, Qiong's nose and small mouth, delicate and picturesque, and her pale complexion showed her delicate and gentle temperament.
Compared with my sister, it is not far behind.
It's just that she looks kind and gentle, easy to get close to, and my sister is like a thorny rose, bright and gorgeous, but not everyone can get close.
Zhu Sheng told Jiang Wanning about meeting Chen Langjun.
Jiang Wanning bowed slightly, indicating that she understood.
There was a brazier in the room, warm and warm, and incense was lit on the table, which was the fragrance of jasmine.
Shangguan Zhaoyang said: "Jiang Niangzi also likes jasmine? ”
Jiang Wanning slightly: "The room is a little stuffy, and the jasmine is fresh, which can alleviate one or two." ”
"My Xiao Langjun likes jasmine the most, but I haven't smelled this fragrance for a long time." Ann and Road.
Jiang Wanning was surprised: "Since you like it, why don't you order it?" ”
"I don't have any money, my family Langjun sold all the land and property as a pension for the fallen soldiers."
Jiang Wanning looked at Zhaoyang distressedly.
Zhaoyang has grown a lot taller, and he is about to catch up with the three elder brothers, but the robe on his body is obviously not fitting and has grown a little.
She unexpectedly found out that this dress was worn by the eldest brother.
Her Zhaoyang, worthy of being a son of the Shangguan family, was only fourteen years old at that time, and he was able to make such a decision, and would rather sell his land than treat the soldiers badly.
"It's just your mouth." Shangguan Zhaoyang reprimanded.
Why did you tell Jiang Niangzi this, it seemed that he was so pitiful.
Is he pathetic? Of course, it is pitiful, but his pity is that he has lost his relatives forever, not because of the poverty of life.
Besides, he is not familiar with Jiang Niangzi, how embarrassing it is to say this.
Jiang Wanning solemnly gave Zhaoyang a blessing: "Xiao Langjun's righteousness is admirable." ”
This gift is to express gratitude for the soldiers who died in battle, and to express comfort for the father and brother under Jiuquan.
Shangguan Zhaoyang cramped: "Jiang Niangzi is almost like this, she is tormenting the boy." ”
Jiang Wanning said: "Xiao Langjun can accept this gift, I heard about the Battle of Gubei when I was in Jiangcheng, and I admired General Shangguan and several of your brothers. ”
"Loyal to the country, horse leather shroud, father and brother also wish."
Jiang Wanling nodded and motioned for the green apricot to serve tea.
"I heard that the reason why the battle of Gubei was lost was because the reinforcements from Muzhou were not timely, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Since her rebirth, this question has been pressed on her heart, and she has nowhere to ask, she doesn't dare to ask Ji Yunchen, let alone Gu Zhouzhu, she wants to get acquainted with Zhaoyang again, and then find an opportunity to ask Zhaoyang, since she talked about this topic today, Jiang Wanning asked it.
Shangguan Zhaoyang showed a hateful expression: "Indeed, this matter is quite strange, when Muzhou received an urgent report from Gubei North for help, Gubei had been besieged for more than half a month, and Muzhou Town Guard General Lu and Vice General Ji, oh, Vice General Ji should know, it is the little county king of Princess Changping's mansion." ”
Jiang Wanning nodded.
"General Lu and Vice General Ji immediately sent the army to support, and when they were about to reach the Huanshui River, the spies came to report that the enemy army had been found in front, and the king of Xiaojun was afraid that the battle with the enemy army would delay the rescue, so he suggested that he take the Qinshan Road instead."
Jiang Wanning thought to herself: In the case of enemy troops intercepting in front, it is indeed faster and safer to take the Qinshan Road.
"Who knows, there are frequent accidents in Qinshan, first the suspension bridge was inexplicably broken, and then a boulder rolled down to block the way, so when General Lu and the little county king rushed to Gubei, everything was too late, and the little county king only had time to snatch out my sister's body, and my father's brother's body is still missing."
Shangguan Zhaoyang couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he talked about this period of the past.
Jiang Wanning was stunned, so it was.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world? It seems that someone doesn't want General Lu and Ji Yunchen to support Gubei smoothly.
"And then? Did the court check it? Was it an accident or a man-made accident? ”
"After checking, the conclusion given is that the defenders of Qinshan Road have neglected their duties, and the emperor is angry and has killed all the more than 100 defenders of Qinshan Road."
Jiang Wanning took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart, she shouldn't have killed, wouldn't killing everyone have no proof of death?
"Such a conclusion, the little county king also believes it?"
