Chapter 9 of the Treacherous Volume of the Jingshi, the son of Shangshu
After listening to Jia Yanzhi's words, Su Zhuo already knew it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 He smiled faintly, raised the wine glass in front of him, and sighed: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass! Wine is fine wine, and the night is also beautiful, it is really not drunk and everyone is drunk! Lord Jia must know that Su Mou is good wine, but Lord Jia may not know that Su Mou has always drunk ordinary water and wine. The better the wine, the more poisonous it is!" He put down his wine glass, and did not touch a drop of wine in the glass, and said: "Thank you Lord Jia for your hospitality, Su is not strong enough to drink, so I will leave!" After speaking, he got up and turned his head to leave.
Jia Yanzhi's face changed, but he didn't have a seizure after all, and he still sat calmly. It wasn't until Su Zhuo walked away that the two of them slowly paced behind him, and one said with a smile: "I have long been kind to persuade this kid, but I don't know the current affairs." Master Jia can believe it now?" Another said: "I know his character best. Master Jia wasted a table of wine and food in vain!"
Jiafu is on the edge of the imperial city, quite far from Zhuge Zheng's mansion. Su Zhuo took a soft sedan chair when he came, and now he has to walk back alone. By the time it came, it was already halfway through. Su Zhuo didn't want to disturb Zhuge Zheng and slept quietly. However, he didn't sleep well this night, and Jia Yanzhi's face appeared in his dreams from time to time, which always made him feel uneasy.
As soon as the day dawned, there was a "bang" on the door. Su Zhuo turned over and got up, and when he opened the door, he saw Zhuge Zheng hurriedly saying, "Hurry up! Chen Pingyuan has been arrested!"
"Who?" Su Zhuo had just woken up, his mind was a little confused, "Who was arrested by whom?"
Zhuge Zheng pulled him out, explaining as he went: "Chen Pingyuan is the eldest son of Chen Zhong, the head of the household department, that is, the one who is with Wang Kun! I heard the news early this morning, last night Wang Dingbian actually rushed into Chen's mansion with people, arrested Chen Pingyuan, and is now detained in the military camp outside the city!"
Su Zhuo was taken aback and suddenly came to his senses. The retinue had already prepared their horses and were waiting outside the door. Zhuge Zheng got on the horse and said: "They all blame me, I was careless yesterday." That Hu Guanghui is Chen Zhong's protégé, and when he learns that we suspect Chen Pingyuan, he will definitely go to Chen's Mansion to report it. Wang Dingbian must have thought of this, afraid that Chen Zhong would send his son away to avoid the limelight, so he did this!"
Su Zhuo frowned and said, "No wonder Wang Fu rushed back in a hurry yesterday, he must have reported this situation to Wang Dingbian." But this Wang Dingbian is too bold, how dare he openly rush into the minister's house to arrest people?"
Zhuge Zheng sighed and said, "Who let Wang Dingbian hold the military power, and the emperor turned a blind eye to this matter, and he didn't even open the early dynasty, so I will do it immediately." ”
"The status of my military generals has always been inferior to that of civil officials, but this Wang Dingbian dares to do such a thing, it seems that Wang Kun's death has hit him very hard!"
Zhuge Zheng nodded: "Yes, back then, Taizu's cup of wine released the military power, and the military general's power was greatly weakened. But Wang Dingbian is a little different, and the emperor trusts him very much, and seems to be sure that he will not have any different intentions. And this time, the only son of the Wang family died, and the Wang family was almost extinct, so it is no wonder that Wang Dingbian had such an excessive reaction. ”
While the two were talking, the horses had already left the city gate and went straight to the Wang Dingbian military camp. When the gatekeeper heard that it was Zhuge Zheng, who was ordered to handle the case, he didn't dare to stop it, and immediately let him go. Wang Dingbian didn't want to see the two of them even if they came back, so he went straight to the tent where Chen Pingyuan was imprisoned. The camp tent is located in the center of Dazhai, and the surrounding area is very open, but there are dozens of armor soldiers surrounding it. Except for Zhuge Zheng and Su Zhuo, no one was allowed to get close.
As soon as Zhuge Zheng was about to go in, he heard an angry shout: "Zhuge Zheng, you stop for me!"
The two looked back and saw an old man in official uniform trembling and angry, walking towards Zhuge Zheng. Su Zhuo looked at this person's official uniform, and guessed that he must be Chen Zhong, the head of the household. Presumably he rushed here, but he couldn't see his son, and all his anger was sprinkled on Zhuge Zheng's head. Su Zhuo said to Zhuge Zheng: "You go and deal with the old man, I'll just go in by myself!"
Zhuge Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay." After speaking, he walked towards Chen Zhong with a hard head.
Su Zhuo opened the door alone and walked into the tent. I saw that the tent was not large, but it was fully furnished, not like a prison cell, but like a place of house arrest. Chen Pingyuan lay on a piece of felt on the ground, bored, neither tortured nor suffered. Su Zhuo thought secretly, it seems that Wang Dingbian is still sensible and does not dare to do anything too excessive.
Chen Pingyuan heard the sound of footsteps, turned over and got up with a "poof", saw Su Zhuo, but didn't recognize it, and said: "Finally, someone is here, I'm going to suffocate to death!" He said and sat down on the only chair in the tent, half leaning and half lying, crossing Erlang's legs, and asked: "Who are you? You are too bold, aren't you? Don't you know who I am? Dare to lock me up here?"
Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment and asked, "You still don't know who locked you up here?"
Lao Tzu slept in a daze, so he was caught in a sack and thrown here. How do I know? I told me that my father was a scholar of the household department and a member of the second grade. If you don't send me back obediently, kowtow to me to make amends, and watch your head!" Chen Pingyuan was not afraid at all.
Su Zhuo smiled faintly, stood in front of him, and said, "Then you must not have seen General Wang yet?"
"General Wang, Wang Dingbian?" Chen Pingyuan sat up straight in shock, "Is it General Wang?" I told you, Wang Kun's matter really has nothing to do with me! How could I poison him?"
Su Zhuo smiled: "Who said that Wang Kun was poisoned?"
Chen Pingyuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Didn't the government say so? I really didn't lie to you, I really don't know what happened to his death!"
Su Zhuo said: "You said that it has nothing to do with you, I don't know if General Wang wants to believe it? I heard that on the day of the accident, Wang Kun was with you all the time. From this point of view, you are the only one who is suspected and possible of murder!"
Chen Pingyuan was so anxious that he was about to cry, stood up and pulled Su Zhuo's sleeve, and said, "Although Wang Kun has been with me that day, it was fine when we broke up that night, and we made an appointment where to meet the next day." Who knows he ......"
Su Jian was almost frightened, so he asked, "What were you doing together that day?"
Chen Pingyuan was stunned, his face changed, he turned around, he didn't dare to look at Su Zhuo, and stammered: "No...... Didn't do anything......"
Su Zhuo's brows tightened, realizing that he was deliberately concealing, so he said: "If you want to prove that you are not suspicious, it is better to tell the truth." Otherwise, I can't help you if I want to!"
Chen Pingyuan's face was already covered with beads of sweat, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally stomped his foot and said, "We...... We went that day...... Fireworks Alley in the west of the city!"
Su Zhuo suddenly realized that according to the law, court officials and heirs are not allowed to go to the folk prostitutes, and Chen Pingyuan and Wang Kun went to Fireworks Lane, which naturally violated the law and should be punished, and if it is serious, he will not be able to be an official in the future, no wonder he dare not say it. Su Zhuo asked again, "You have been there?"
Chen Pingyuan simply said: "A few days ago, I was drinking with a group of friends. Some people say that Fireworks Lane invites the top Yuechan girl in the Xianglou. So Wang Kun and I didn't bring any entourage that day, and the two of us went to Invite Xianglou and made a special trip to see Miss Yuezhen. At first sight, I was really shocked...... But Wang Kun is better looking than me, and that little girl's skin actually hung me aside. I had to go out. But we didn't dare to spend the night, and we hurried away as soon as it got dark. When they were separated, Wang Kun was fine, who knew that he would ...... that night" (to be continued.) )
