Chapter 66: Medium

When Wu Jinzhong came to see Qin Gaosheng, it didn't matter much, he came to greet and greet a few words every day, so as to be courteous and not snub the court angels. When the two met and exchanged a few words of gossip, Qin Gaosheng said: "It has been more than a month since I left Beijing, and this official thinks about returning to Beijing tomorrow and surrendering his life to the Son of Heaven." ”

Wu Jinzhong said: "That is, when Lord Qin is going, he will go to the Assassin Mansion at noon today, and the lower officials will prepare water and wine to see off the adults, so as to show the hearts of the locality." ”

Qin Gaosheng said with a smile: "How good is this, wouldn't it disturb your business again." ”

Wu Jinzhong said: "The civil and military officials of Youzhou Mansion, I heard that the imperial court sent an angel to come, and I want to show my loyalty, so I ask this official to come, and I also ask Lord Qin to go." ”

Qin Gaosheng touched his big belly with his hand and said with a smile: "Since you are waiting for a piece of sincerity, if I don't go, it will seem that the official is not close to people." ”

Qin Gaosheng ordered his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair from the people, and went to the Assassin Mansion with Wu Jinzhong, a hundred civil and military officials in Youzhou City, who came to pay attention, and there were many gift-givers, and Qin Gaosheng did not refuse. At noon, a wine feast was held in the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion, and all the officials took turns to persuade them to drink, but Zhang Daoling did not go up to persuade them to drink, but just sat there and drank by themselves. Qin Gaosheng had already seen it in his eyes, so he turned his head sideways and asked the master, and the master whispered in his ear, "This person is Zhang Daoling, and he dares to insult the master like this." Everyone came forward to take the lamp, but he sat upright!"

Qin Gaosheng didn't say much, until the evening was dispersed, and early the next morning, the officials sent out the ten-mile long pavilion in Youzhou City, and Qin Gaosheng took the servants back to Beijing.

It is said that Zhang Daoling was displeased because he couldn't get used to Qin Gaosheng, so he did not go forward to toast and sent Qin Gaosheng away. Walking out of the assassin's mansion alone on the street, turning in from West Street, suddenly looking at the wall on the side of the street, I saw a blank piece of paper pasted on it, on which was written a poem, I didn't know if I didn't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and at the end of the poem, Zhang Daoling was written, and this poem was written by Wanyan Chongren to frame Zhang Daoling:

Zhang Gong archery is ambitious,

The gallop in the road has a high heart.

Lingyun is ambitious at will,

Reverse Jin Luan will be the emperor.

When Zhang Daoling saw it, he recognized that this was a Tibetan poem, and it was Zhang Daoling's anti. Walking around the city, everywhere, Zhang Daoling understood in his heart: This is someone who wants to harm me, deliberately inscribed this anti-poem, posted it everywhere, who can it be? Zhang Daoling played a drum in his heart, full of worries, and was walking, three children on the side of the street were playing games, singing Tong Yao in their mouths: the bow is in front, the long is second, step by step, people and horses slip. The opposite is the right thing to do.

When Zhang Daoling heard this, he was even more shocked, who taught these children to sing, and secretly said in his heart: This first sentence, the bow is in front, and the long is second. It's a word, the second sentence, step by step, people slip. What people and horses walk is the road, and there is a hidden word "Tao" in it. This third sentence is not the opposite, going farther and farther, isn't this going in reverse, there is a hidden word "anti", the meaning of the whole nursery rhyme, "Zhang Daoling anti" This surprise, but it is really not small, he stepped forward to stop a child and asked: "Child! Who taught you to sing this nursery rhyme, tell grandpa, I will give you money to buy candy to eat." ”

One of the little boys said, "We also heard other people sing like this, so we sang along." ”

Zhang Daoling was stunned and depressed, went back to the house, turned into the back hall, felt depressed, picked up a book of poems, and read it carelessly. I just wondered who did this.

It is said that Wu Jinzhong sent away the Taiwei Qin Gaosheng, returned to the Assassin's Mansion, and played with Chen Jiayuan in the pavilion in the back garden.

Wu Jinzhong, the assassin, was concentrating on playing chess, and when he heard Chen Jiayuan say this, he asked in surprise: "Anti-poetry! What anti-poetry." ”

"It's all over the streets and alleys, but it's General Zhang. ”

Wu Jinzhong was even more surprised when he heard this: "Brother Zhang Xian usually goes to the street occasionally, but he doesn't get there, so he writes anti-poems and posts them everywhere. ”

Chen Jiayuan pondered for about a while, and chanted in his mouth:

Zhang Gong archery is ambitious,

The gallop in the road has a high heart.

Lingyun is ambitious at will,

Reverse Jin Luan will be the emperor.

After listening to this, Wu Jinzhong said: "This is a Tibetan poem, and the first word of each sentence is connected together; This rebellion is a confidential matter, how could he write an anti-poem and post it everywhere. Jiayuan, according to you, who did it. ”

Chen Jiayuan said with a smile: "The Jin people captured Youzhou and were defeated by Zhang Daoling, because they were afraid of Zhang Daoling, so they came up with this plan, the purpose was to borrow the hand of the imperial court to hoe Zhang Daoling." ”

Wu Jinzhong said, "This matter will not come out sooner or later, but it came out when Qin Taiwei came, I am afraid that the anti-poetry matter has reached Qin Gaosheng's ears, how can it be good?"

Chen Jiayuan said: "Qin Gaosheng returned to the Ming Emperor, and he will send someone down to investigate on the same day, and I am afraid that this matter can only be acted upon when the time comes." I don't know if the adults have a good relationship with the court, so I quickly repaired a letter, went to Bianjing, and told the truth of these situations, so that I could distinguish one from the other in the court. ”

Wu Jinzhong pondered for a while: "The imperial historian of the court, Yi Zhongyun, has a very good relationship with me, so I will give him a book." ”

The two stopped playing chess, and hurried to the study, and wrote a letter to prepare for the matter, so that he could mediate. When the letter was written, he sealed a piece of paper and called the chief of the guards, "Anshun, come in." Give him the book: "You immediately rode into Bianjing on a fast horse, and dropped this letter on the imperial historian Yi Zhongyun." I got the book back, and I came back again. Be careful on the road. ”

Saying Anshun, with a letter in his arms, he went to the stable to lead the horse, rode out of the city, went all the way to Bianjing, traveled on the road for two days, passed Yanshan Mansion, walked for two days, rushed to Hejian Mansion, and when he entered the city, he thought it was late at night, he found an inn and stepped into the door, and the shopkeeper hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to greet him, led the horse to the back trough to feed, and turned around to greet Anshun: "Master, what do you eat?"

Anshun has been suffering from some heat in the past few days, and he is bored inside, so he is looking for something to quench his thirst: "You first beat two corners of wine to eat, and cut some snacks and beef into two catties first." Bring me a bowl of porridge to relieve the heat. ”

The shopkeeper agreed, returned to the back kitchen, and after a while, he took out the tray and put it in front of Anshun. Anshun first took two sips of wine, ate some beef, and drank the porridge, because he was tired and tight, and the weather was hot and dry for several days. I went back to the room early to sleep, and the next morning I took advantage of the cool weather to hurry, and rested at noon, and waited until the scorching sun at noon. Only forty or fifty miles a day, it is said that Qin Taiwei, because of the hot weather, walked to Hejian Mansion, and lived in the pavilion, wanting to wait for the weather to be cool, so this Anshun arrived in Bianjing, and Qin Gaosheng was still in Hejian Mansion.

An Shun took the letter, went straight to the Imperial Doctor Yi Zhongyun Mansion and came up, first went to the door and knocked on the door, and the door came out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

An Shun laughed with him: "Big brother, I am the guard of Lord Shiwu's family in Youzhou, and I am ordered by the head of the family to send a letter to Lord Yi Zhongyun, the imperial historian." ”

Menzi said, "Oh, then give me the letter." I'll help you get in in a moment. ”

An Shun smiled and said: "Brother Lao went in and said goodbye, our family master specially instructed that this letter is very important, and I must hand it over to the imperial doctor; Please also ask my brother to help, there is hard work!"

When Menzi saw this, he turned around and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell you." ”

After a short time after Menzi entered, he came out and said, "Come in with me." ”

An Shun walked inside: "Thank you, big brother." While talking, he followed the door and came in, turned around the garden, and came to the main hall, at this time Yi Zhongyun was in the hall, An Shun hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee with both hands and fists: "The villain has seen the adult." ”

Yi Zhongyun nodded: "Well, I heard that your master has a letter to me." ”

An Shun hurriedly stepped forward and took out the letter in his arms, presented it with both hands, and Yi Zhongyun opened the letter and read it. wrote another reply letter and paid it to Anshun. Anshun took the back book, said goodbye, went back to the inn, stayed for a night, the next day, then rode back to Youzhou, lived in Xiaoxing at night on the road, hungry and thirsty, because when he went back, he was not as anxious as when he came before, so on the road, while walking and watching the scenery, he would be half a moon, walked to the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion, entered the city, wandered all the way, only to see the street was bustling and lively, the mood was happy, he stayed in the inn, thinking about playing for a few more days. On the second day, I went to the street to play, less than six streets and three markets, went all over, and walked to a green building in the afternoon, too, people were among the guests, easy to get fire, a woman in front of the door pulled it in, this Anshun, could not withstand the temptation, and the woman for four or five days, the coil was spent exhausted. Anshun thought about setting off to go back to Youzhou, the shopkeeper came to beg for the money, the money for the house, exactly; the rich man, the rich man is difficult, the first few days spent all day drinking, for a while did not hold it, but now it is how good, I had to sell the horse, count the return of the house and meal money, and go back to Youzhou on foot alone.

However, this assassin Wu Jinzhong wrote a letter to send Anshun to Bianjing, and on the other hand, he called Jiao Zhongbin and asked him to bring 200 soldiers to tear up the anti-poem everywhere in the city. He also instructed Lou Kangping to take someone to visit secretly, and if someone posted anti-poems in the city, he would be arrested and returned to the Assassin's Mansion to find out the culprit.

This Qin Gaosheng has been resting in the Hejian Mansion Post Station for half a month, only waiting for the weather in August, two rains, and the weather is cold in the morning, before he got up and went to Bianjing. Leave it at that.

Shan said, Jiao Zhongbin received the order, took more than 200 people, all changed into civilian clothes of the common people, went out of the camp, scattered to various streets, and tore up all those anti-poems, but here Lou Kangping, with more than a dozen soldiers, dressed in civilian clothes, only ambushed in various streets and alleys. After two days of ambush, there was no movement, and on this day, Fan Chenglin called the slugs in and asked: "The anti-poems I asked you to post are all over the city." ”

The slug said: "It's been pasted all over the place, but in the past two days, it has been torn up, and there is not a single one left!"

Fan Chenglin asked suspiciously, "Who tore it?" ”

The slug said: "I don't know, I guess it may have been Zhang Daoling who asked someone to do it." ”

Fan Chenglin said with a smile: "Okay, let him tear it, he will tear it, we will post it, you go to the housekeeper immediately, write more, and you will take someone to paste it for me tonight, see if he tears it fast, or I paste it fast." ”

The slugs promised to come out, and wrote hundreds of them to the old official's house, it was night, and he took more than a dozen family members, and went to the streets and alleys of the city to post them everywhere, and the people brought by Lou Kangping were ambushed in the city, and the slugs brought out more than a dozen family members who posted anti-poems, one of them counted as one, and they were all caught by Lou Kangping, and Lou Kangping escorted this person into the Assassin's Mansion, at this time, the sky was just bright, Lou Kangping took these people to the mountain of the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, and tied his hands with a rope. After a while, Wu Jinzhong and Zhang Daoling came to the top of the palace, and there were generals and civil and military officials on both sides, and there were three classes of officials standing below. In the middle kneeling were slugs and more than a dozen of Fan Chenglin's family members. Lou Kangping stood aside and was imprisoned, and at this time, the assassin Shi Wu Jinzhong came to the court, and Lou Kangping stepped forward and said: "Back to my lord, the villain took these anti-poems last night, please send them down." ”

Wu Jinzhong slapped the case on the ground: "You wait for everyone to come quickly, who is the surname." These individuals were frightened, and first the slugs said: "The villain slug is the people of Youzhou Mansion." ”

Assassin Shi Wu Jinzhong heard it and scolded: "Nonsense, you dare to tease this mansion, I haven't heard of anyone with a surname among the hundred family names." Drag me down and hit me hard. ”

The slug hurriedly begged for mercy: "Adults spare your life, the villain's nickname is Slug, and his real name is Wang Xiaobo"

Wu Jinzhong shouted: "Who told you to post an anti-poem in the city!"

The slug said: "The villain came out to paste this thing on the order of Uncle Fan Guo." I am a family member under Uncle Guo. ”

When Wu Jinzhong heard this, he asked the scribe to record a confession for these people, draw a prisoner, and put this cadre in prison and put him in prison for the time being. Zhang Daoling next to him was angry when he heard it, "I said how to post this anti-poem everywhere, it turned out to be Fan Chenglin's mastermind behind the scenes, and I slapped him last time." It hurt me so much. ”

Wu Jinzhong retreated, and Zhang Daoling asked, "Why don't you arrest Fan Chenglin?"

Wu Jinzhong said: "Brother Xian, and I am discussing in the back hall. ”

Wu Jinzhong in front, followed by Zhang Daoling, Chen Jiayuan followed, the three of them came to the back garden, sat on the pavilion, Wu Jinzhong ordered the maid to come to tea, and after a while, the maid came to offer tea, Wu Jinzhong took a sip of the teacup, and sighed: "This Fan Chenglin is just an idle boy, how could he think of this plan, there must be someone behind this, not as simple as the virtuous brother thought." ”

Zhang Daoling said suspiciously: "Ah, there are people behind me, who will it be." ”

Chen Jiayuan picked up the teacup and took two sips: "In my opinion, there must be golden people and spies in this Youzhou City!"

Zhang Daoling continued: "What you mean is that this Fan Chenglin colluded with the Jin people. ”

Wu Jinzhong said: "This matter still needs to be investigated, because, Fan Chenglin is Fan Guifei's brother, if we don't investigate and produce ironclad evidence, we can't move lightly, if we go to arrest someone now, this Fan Chenglin will prevaricate with the fact that you have a personal vendetta against him, and when you ask, it can only be regarded as a small personal revenge, what can you do to him." If it is passed to Fan Guifei because of this, this Fan Guifei is blowing some pillow wind for the emperor. Woe is coming. ”

Zhang Daoling: "If this is the case, but how is it good, can you let him do whatever he wants." ”

Wu Jinzhong said: "I have already asked the subordinate generals, Li Fujun went to secretly investigate At this time, this Li Fujun is a native of Sichuan, known as Sichuan Mouse, and he is the most alert. Don't worry, there will be news in a few days, please rest assured. ”

The three of them ate tea for half a day in the pavilion, until dinnertime, they came to the back hall to eat together, and on another table, Mrs. Zhao sat at the top, Zhang Fengduo sat on the left side seat, Miss Wu Juanxue sat on the right side seat, and Chen Kefen sat at the bottom. And they were sitting, eating. Suddenly, a boy in his thirties came in from outside, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a black gauze soft scarf on his head, and a beige satin robe on his upper body, swaying in. Why don't you come back and write first. It turns out that this son is Wu Jinzhong's eldest son, that is, Wu Juanxue's elder brother, surnamed Wu Shuangming; At the age of twenty, he was lifted, and at the age of twenty-five, he kicked the top three in a row, and the palace test was hand-picked by the emperor to explore the flowers. Later, in addition to the ground in Hejian Mansion, he made a small county, and his term of office expired this year, and he returned to his family and province, and he would report to the Bianjing Ministry of Officials in the near future.

Wu Yuanrong met his mother first, and they exchanged heartfelt complaints, and Wu Jinzhong asked his son to sit down at the table on his side. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the father and son couldn't help but talk about some things in the officialdom, during the meal, this Wu Yuanrong saw Zhang Fengduo sideways, and couldn't help but be emotional, Wu Jinzhong squinted, and saw that his son always looked at the table next to him, Wu Jinzhong had already looked at the department. After a while, Zhang Fengduo, Wu Juanxue, and Chen Kefen finished eating first, and then went to the back garden to play. This Wu Yuanrong looked at Zhang Fengduo's back in a daze. Wu Jinzhong said: "Come and eat more meat, see that you have lost weight." Wu Yuanrong came back to his senses at this time, and after eating, Wu Jinzhong took his son's hand and said to Zhang Daoling and Chen Jiayuan: "You two are at your own convenience, and my son and I will go to the back study to talk." ”

Chen Jiayuan and Zhang Daoling both said: "Please respect!"

Wu Jinzhong's father and son came to the study, the two gossiped a few words, and Wu Yuanrong said: "Daddy, who is the woman who was sitting opposite my sister just now, wearing a pink dress?"

Wu Jinzhong laughed and said: "Why, I have taken a fancy to her, this woman is your Uncle Zhang's only daughter, Zhang Fengduo, the woman sitting next is named Chen Kefen, and she is your Uncle Zhang's newly adopted daughter." ”

Wu Yuanrong asked: "Can you bother my father to keep a matchmaker, the child is already in his prime, and I have never seen a woman who can make me tempted, but today I saw Zhang Fengduo, and my heart was surging." ”

Wu Jinzhong laughed when he heard this: "Okay, since you like Zhang Fengduo so much, I'll go and protect this matchmaker for you." ”

The father and son gossiped a few more words without mentioning it.

On the second day, after ordering Mao and retreating from the court, Wu Jinzhong called Chen Jiayuan to him: "Brother Jiayuan!"

Chen Jiayuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and clasped his fists to salute: "What do you have to say?" ”
