Chapter 173: The Government Comes to the Door
"What, is it true?" In the compound of the Huang family's medicine shop, after Lu Jing told Huang Ji that Wang Dasheng had ordered Yuan Chong to take Nangong to use, Huang Ji said excitedly.
"What, happy?" Lu Jing said with a smile, "You have to take care of me, if it weren't for the way I came up with to lure Wang Dasheng's people from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the departure area, I'm afraid that Yuan Chong brother of yours would be confused about handling the case......"
"Anyway, it's still Xiexie Jingmei, I didn't expect this matter to cause you to worry about it with me......" Huang Ji first echoed, and then he seemed to think of something again, so he muttered, "However, will things really go so well......"
"What?" Because Huang Ji's voice was very small, Lu Jing didn't hear it clearly, so he asked again.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I always feel like I don't know ...... bottom in my heart," Huang Ji continued, "The people of the Nangong family could bribe the experienced former prefect before, and Brother Yuan Chong has just taken office and is not familiar with the experience, so I'm worried that something will go wrong with him......"
After listening to Huang Ji's words, Lu Jing said with a smile: "Don't think about things so pessimistically, now that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are on our side, his Nangong family is powerful and powerful this time, and there is nothing to be done." ”
"But I'm still ......not at ease," Huang Ji said with a solemn expression, "No, since Brother Yuan Chong is going to Nangong's house today, then I have to take a look." ”
"You go...... It's not very convenient, right?" Lu Jing knew some of Huang Ji's thoughts and said with some worries.
Huang Ji raised his head and said righteously: "Since Nangong can open his eyes and talk nonsense above the court. Then what sinister things can he not do in private? And that Nangong Zhun, last time in the court, Nangong Zhun helped his third uncle Nangong Yong say so many things. I always feel that many ideas are approved by Nangong. In case the Yuan Chong brothers are inexperienced and go to the door of Nangong's house, it will be difficult to be placed by Nangong Zhun and the like...... No, I'll have to check it out. ”
"But Brother Huang Ji, you are also a related person in this case after all, are you going to go so openly, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about by others?" Lu Jing asked again.
Huang Ji's expression was very firm, and he replied, "Nangong Yong has already done something that hurts heaven and reason. Many things have been done before, and the Prime Minister has already let him go, but this time, I, Huang Ji, will not agree to Nangong to escape the king's law!"
looked at Huang Ji's incomparable firmness. Lu Jing also felt that she couldn't stop it. And since the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion indicated that they would take Nangong for use, Lu Jing also felt that things should not go wrong, so he didn't care too much about Huang Ji's decision.
"Anyway, it's still Xiexie Sister Jing, but I'll leave the rest to me and Brother Yuan Chong......" Huang Ji said to Lu Jing again. "I don't want to get you involved in this case either. So Sister Jing, don't worry about it anymore, and when all this is over, we'll talk about it. ”
So, Huang Ji simply tidied up his clothes and left Huang's Pharmacy with Lu Jing......
The entrance of the Nangong compound ......
Yuan Chong, as the newly appointed prefect and a young man, naturally came with his guards for the first arrest mission. Wang Dasheng sent a warrant for the arrest of Nangong. Before the time came, Yuan Chong led his men to Nangong's house.
Yuan Chong looked at the courtyard of the Nangong family. Prepare to walk into the compound with his subordinates in person. However, before everyone could enter the gate of the compound, the guards stopped Yuan Chong and them.
Maybe it's because they are the subordinates of the Nangong family, these subordinates also have a lot of "confidence", although Yuan Chong and others are wearing the uniforms of the county guards, but this subordinate still doesn't take Yuan Chong and others in his eyes. I only heard the subordinate ask in a very contemptuous tone: "Hey, hey, a few of you, don't you know that this is the famous Nangong family in Bianliang City?
Yuan Chong saw this subordinate's expression, so he said with a serious expression: "I am the newly appointed prefect of Bianliang County, and I want to find Nangong, the head of the three households of your family, if I have something." ”
"The prefect, the new prefect, oh, yes, the previous prefect has been killed, and you can be regarded as a cushion when you come......" The subordinate's tone was unceremonious, and he continued to make trouble, "But how do I know if you are really the prefect, how can the prefect personally bring the guards to do things?"
"It is indeed the newly appointed prefect of Bianliang in Xia, we are now investigating official affairs, please don't get in the way!" Faced with the provocation of a subordinate of the Nangong family, Yuan Chong still endured it first, and ordered in a serious tone.
"Is it really the prefect's great?" the subordinate continued to say unreasonably, "Hmph, even if it is the original prefect, don't you dare to raise your head in front of our Nangong family?
Hearing that this subordinate's tone became more and more rude, Yuan Chong was angry in his heart. However, as the prefect of the county government, he can't just make things difficult for a subordinate. So without saying a word, Yuan Chongli ignored the subordinate, just gently pushed it away with his arm, and then added a sentence of "get out of the way", and then led his subordinates into the gate of Nangong's house.
"Hey, what do you officials want to do, you actually stepped into the door of Nangong's house casually......" The subordinate was pushed away by Yuan Chong, and he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and turned around and shouted. However, Yuan Chong ignored him, and just took his subordinates to continue to go deep into Nangong's house, looking for Nangong's shadow.
However, before he entered the compound, he happened to be met by Nangong Xun, the fifth son of Nangong. Nangong Xun was practicing calligraphy in the courtyard, and suddenly saw the people in the uniforms of the officials coming to the Nangong compound, so he was also very curious.
Nangong Xun and his third brother Nangong Zhun are the same character, and they never take others in their eyes. So as soon as Yuan Chong walked into the door, Nangong Xun called out very unceremoniously: "Hey, who are you guys, who let you into our Nangong family?"
Yuan Chong stopped in front of Nangong Xun, and then said very politely: "This son, General Wang of the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion has issued a warrant for his arrest, asking Nangong, the head of the three households of your family, to go to the county government hall. ”
"My third uncle?weishenme, wasn't there no problem with Huang Jisu's case last time. What's wrong with him this time?" Nangong Xun asked again in a very unceremonious tone.
"This time the matter is not simple...... Yuan Chong said solemnly, "General Wang suspects that the three heads of the Gui family are suspected of forcibly occupying the commons in the Bianliang departure area. According to the law, this is a big crime to lose your head. In order to clarify the situation, General Wang specially asked Zai to escort Nangong to the county government court to corroborate it. ”
Nangong Xun heard this, and said angrily: "Hmph, ridiculous, my third uncle is a person. It's all for the Nangong family, how could he do such a thing that loses his head and ruins the reputation of the Nangong family? You servants are so bold that you actually slander my third uncle in public in the Nangong family!"
"What's so noisy?" said the courtyard in front of him. The two people who have always given advice to Nangong - Nangong Ping, the second-in-command of the Nangong family, and Nangong Zhun, the third son of Nangong, suddenly appeared behind Nangong Xun.
Nangong turned his head, then pointed at Yuan Chong and said, "Second uncle, third brother, this newly appointed stinky prefect." actually slandered my third uncle for forcibly occupying the commons of Bianliang. Do you think that guy is too blind?"
Maybe Nangong Xun really didn't know about this, but Nangong Ping and Nangong Zhun, who knew the cause and effect of everything, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they heard it, and they didn't even dare to look at Yuan Chong immediately.
"Oops, I really want to let the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion know about this matter, what now?" Nangong Ping glanced at Nangong and asked softly.
Nangong Zhun thought for a while, and then responded softly: "Right now." Only let the third uncle avoid it for a while, so that the people in their county government can't find evidence......"
"But what are you going to do?" Nangong Ping asked in a whispered anxiously.
Nangong Zhun squeezed nervously in his hand. Then he said softly: "That's it, second uncle, you first perfunctory this new prefect, saying that the third uncle has gone to other places." The third uncle should be in the backyard now, I'll go and inform him, give him some coils, let him climb out of the backyard and hide somewhere else for a while, and then I'll find a way to get over there on Dad's side......"
"Okay, at the moment, I can only listen to your third nephew......" Nangong Ping nodded, and at this time he put all his trust on Nangong Zhun.
"These two - it should be Nangong Ping, the second-in-command of your family, and Nangong Zhun, the third son of Nangong, right......" Yuan Chong saw Nangong Ping and Nangong Zhun behind Nangong Xun, and only responded, "I heard that the former prefect tried the case once before his death, and the third son of your family seems to have also gone to the court as a witness." However, today, the three heads of your family have a new case again, and Nangong Yong needs to go to the court with me. ”
Nangong Zhun saw it, glanced at his second uncle Nangong Ping, and then turned his head and left, walking towards the backyard. Nangong Ping, who stayed behind, turned his head and looked at Yuan Chong, ready to make a perfunctory gesture to buy time for Nangong Yong to leave the compound.
Nangong Ping saw Yuan Chong, smiled and said: "I really thought that the newly appointed prefect turned out to be a young man, it seems that the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion have not shallow eyes, or rather...... Your Excellency, you are indeed capable, young and ambitious!"
"No need to say polite words...... Yuan Chong didn't pay any attention to Nangong Ping's sycophants, but he was still serious, "Today, I came down, on the orders of General Wang of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will take Nangong Yong, the head of the three households of your family, to the county government hall, and ask the second head of the family to cooperate with us." ”
Nangong Ping's eyes rolled, and then he continued to smile: "Oh, my lord, it's really not the right time for you to come, the third brother under Xia has just gone out to run errands, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so ...... Look at this ......, sir."
"Can't come back?" Yuan Chong listened to Nangong Ping's words, and suddenly felt a great hesitation......
In the backyard, Nangong Yong, who committed the whole incident, was looking aimlessly at the potted plants around him. Truth be told, his heart hasn't been let go since he committed a series of incidents. It turned out that he had done everything that hurt the heavens and reason, and no one had escaped with a high incidence in the past. But now he has met Huang Ji, who is "in charge of affairs to the end", in addition to forcibly occupying the public land, he also committed the crime of killing Xiaoyun's family and sending someone to assassinate the former prefect.
Now that he encountered such a situation, Nangong Yong was still unprecedentedly scared, he was very worried that he would really be sent to the execution table by the people of the government......
However, when Nangong was worried, Nangong Zhun happened to rush over from the gate of the compound at this time.
"Third uncle, it's not good-" Nangong Zhun ran to his third uncle's side. The first sentence sounded the alarm bell.
"How...... What's wrong?" Seeing that Nangong Zhun, who was usually calm, also became a little nervous at this time, Nangong Yong's heart suddenly kept being stunned.
Nangong Zhun breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The newly appointed prefect Yuan Chong...... He received an order from the Prime Minister's Office. sent his men to escort you back to the court, saying that they had found the third uncle's crime of forcibly occupying the public land in the departure area. ”
"What?" Nangong Yong saw that what he was worried about for Chao Siye still happened, so he couldn't help but say nervously, "Third nephew, didn't you say...... Won't you let the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion know about this?"
"The devil knows who revealed the news...... Nangong Zhun himself was a little confused.
"The government has caught the door, so what should I do now?Third nephew, can't you ignore your third uncle and me......" Nangong Yong was even a little nervous now.
Nangong Zhun calmed down for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, third uncle, second uncle is still on top." Said that it was the third uncle, you have been out of the house these days...... I discussed it with my second uncle, and I prepared some coiling for you, and asked you to go out and avoid it for a few days...... Wait until the limelight is over. If the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion can't find conclusive evidence, they will be fine......"
"Is this really good?" Nangong said with some doubts, "Go out and hide, if your father knows......"
"He won't know. I'll help you get through the past with Uncle San. Don't worry......" Nangong Zhun said, "Besides, since things have come to this point, you can only be wronged now, third uncle......"
After hearing this, Nangong felt that there was indeed nothing to be done now. Moreover, the people of the government are blocking at the gate, if you want to escape, you have to do it as soon as possible, if you wait until the people of the government search the backyard. Then it will be too late.
"Okay, third nephew. The third uncle is yours now......" Nangong Yong asked again, "What should the third uncle do now?"
Nangong Zhun continued: "Third uncle, you first take the coil and go out from the backyard over the wall. The new prefect Yuan Chong didn't have many subordinates, so he shouldn't be able to detect it, so the third uncle, you should take this opportunity to run quickly. ”
"Okay, I see......" Nangong agreed softly, and he couldn't wait to leave this place immediately.
So, after choosing the location to climb over the wall, Nangong jumped out with a light skill......
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Yuan Chong was still confronting Nangong Ping at the gate of the compound at this time, and after listening to Nangong Ping's narration, Yuan Chong continued to ask, "The three heads of households are far away, is it possible that the people from our county government are waiting for him to come back here?"
"So, my lord, please go back......" Nangong Ping said in response, he wished that Yuan Chong and the others would leave quickly.
"What should I do, my lord?" at this time, a catcher beside Yuan Chong asked, "The person to be arrested is not here now, but General Wang has already issued a arrest warrant." ”
Yuan Chong saw this situation, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. Since it is the compound of the Nangong family, it is not easy to carry out a search without authorization. Yuan Chong thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that at the moment, the only way to go back is to go back first, if necessary, let's go and report this matter to General Wang......
Saying that, Yuan Chong was basically sure to leave the Nangong compound......
Outside the gate of the compound, Huang Ji happened to rush over from his house to see if there was anything that could help Yuan Chong.
"This is the Nangong compound...... Huang Ji looked into the courtyard, and happened to see Yuan Chong wearing the uniform of the official and a few of his guards, so he said to himself, "It seems that Brother Yuan Chong has begun to act, the people of the Nangong family are scheming, I have to go and take a look, and help Brother Yuan Chong protect something."
However, just as he wanted to go up to the gate to say hello, suddenly, Huang Ji glanced sideways, and found that Nangong Yong was from the other side of the compound, which should be the side of the backyard, and jumped up from the wall above and turned over.
Huang Ji looked at something wrong, and thought that Yuan Chong was ordered to take Nangong today, and saw Nangong running out on his back...... Huang Ji had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly thought of something unpleasant - Nangong Yong wanted to escape.
Nangong Yong had just flipped down from the city wall, and when he looked up, he happened to see Huang Ji passing by the door.
"Huang Ji?" Nangong Yong was even slightly surprised, but then suddenly realized that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he didn't say a word, and immediately turned his head and ran away.
"Zhanzhu, Nangong Yong, you can't run-" Huang Ji shouted, and then chased after him with light skills.
However, Huang Ji's scream was unbearable, and it happened to be heard by everyone in the compound.
"It's the voice of Brother Huang Ji......" Yuan Chong was also a little curious, but when he heard the content of Huang Ji's shout, he immediately understood something.
"Oh no......" Nangong Zhun heard Huang Ji's cry outside, slapped his face with one hand, and said secretly in his heart, "Huang Ji, this guy is really in the way, but there is a ...... at this time"
"Didn't your family say that the three heads of households went far away?" asked Yuan Chong in a rhetorical voice.
Everyone in the Nangong family didn't know how to answer at this time.
However, Yuan Chong didn't put his mind on this, after all, he had a task on his body, since Wang Da gave birth to an arrest warrant for Nangong Yong, he would escort Nangong Yong back to the court no matter what.
So Yuan Chong didn't say anything to the people of the Nangong family, ordered the guards around him, and then chased in the direction of the sound just now......
"What should I do now?" Nangong Ping asked a little anxiously on the side.
Nangong Zhun thought for a while, and then said, "No matter, the third uncle's own mistakes...... I'm afraid no one will be able to save him this time...... Anyway, let's chase after it first. ”
So, Nangong Zhun and Nangong Ping left the compound together, and also followed in the direction that Yuan Chong and the others were chasing.
"Second uncle, third brother, you wait for me, I'll go too-" Nangong Xun shouted, as an outsider, he couldn't help but want to know what was going on, so he also chased out...... (To be continued......)
