Chapter 31: Intrigue (Part 2)
When night falls, Qingyun County, surrounded by mountains, is drowning in darkness.
Zhao Lian returned home, his face was gloomy, and it could be seen that he was not in a very good mood, and the maids and servants in the family were all cautious and well-behaved, worried about angering Zhao Lian.
After dinner, Zhao Lian sat in the hall, closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about how to pry open the mouths of the two boys in the cell.
During the day, he was ordered by the county order to interrogate Ning Wushuang and Ning Bowu, thinking that Ning Wushuang was just a hairy boy, and as soon as the punishment was met, he would be able to confess immediately, but he didn't think that the kid had a hard mouth, and he scolded him for being dirty and scolding, and scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the old Zhao family.
As for Ning Bowu, Zhao Lian couldn't do anything about Ning Bowu, not to mention that Ning Bowu was a fool, even if he wasn't stupid, those punishments were useful to ordinary people, but they were like tickling Ning Bowu.
The leather whip was struck on Ning Wushuang's body, and blood could be seen, but it was hit on Ning Bowu's body, and there was not even a trace, when he thought of Ning Bowu smiling at him, Zhao Lian felt that he was ridiculing his incompetence.
A young man in brocade clothes came in from the outside, with a fat body, his steps were vain, his face was white, and there was still the smell of wine on his body.
"Stand still. Zhao Lian opened his eyes, with anger in his eyes, looking at his unsuccessful son, and then thinking of Ning Wujian who had contradicted him in the morning, he was even more angry.
"Get down on your knees, where did you go with your fox friends again?"
The young man heard Zhao Lian's voice, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and knelt in front of Zhao Lian, bowing his head, "Dad, I've gone to Yichun Garden......"
Yichun Garden is not a garden, it is a yard, and it is a place where men can pick flowers and grass.
"Why did Lao Tzu give birth to a son like you......" Zhao Lian scolded angrily.
The young man cautiously raised his head and said softly: "Dad, today I am going with the son of the county order......
Zhao Lian's gloomy face stretched slightly, although his son was not successful, he still learned a lot of his skills, "Go down, the county exam is coming, don't waste your studies, Yang Xiaogongzi is going to study in the state, if you want to follow him, you can't fall behind." ”
"Dad, the child will not delay his studies......"
The young man sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that he didn't have to be beaten tonight, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the back hall.
pressed his temples, Zhao Lian had a headache, things were not easy to do.
"Master, the heat is coming up, and it is easy to catch fire, so I asked the maid to boil a bowl of lotus seed porridge to lower the fire for the master. A dignified-looking woman came with a wooden tray with a bowl of lotus seed porridge.
Seeing the woman, Zhao Lian took the lotus seed porridge, "Madam is here, I have a headache for my husband, you came just in time, give ...... to my husband's staff officer."
The woman sat down on the side, looked at Zhao Lian, and asked, "What is the matter that the master is so worried?"
"You should have heard that the gold of the treasury was stolen, right?"
The woman nodded, looked at Zhao Lian in surprise, and exclaimed, "Could it be ......?"
"Shhhhh......h As a last resort, Yang Wenqing started the 10,000 taels of gold in the treasury, which was allocated by the imperial court to help the victims, but in the past few years, the harvest has been bumper every year, and this money has been stored in the treasury without touching. Not long ago, Yang Wenqing found me and bluntly said that if I could get the gold out, in addition to giving the bandits five thousand taels, I would have three left, and I would ......."
"The master is moved?" the woman smiled coldly, "This Yang Wenqing is putting a trap on the master, once the matter is over, it will be the time for him to deal with the master." ”
Sighing, Zhao Lian said: "I also figured it out today, I originally wanted the Zhang family to be the scapegoat and push everything to the Zhang family, but I didn't think that Zhang Fu was not fooled, and only caught two miscellaneous fish, today I probed Yang Wenqing's tone, he didn't care if I could push the charge to the Zhang family, I was alert, this old fox, if the gold was still in my hands, he would have unloaded the mill and killed the donkey." ”
The woman was silent for a while, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, "Master, the gold is still in the hands of the master, and we will not stop doing it......"
Zhao Lian was startled and looked at the woman, "Madam, don't you think?"
"Where did the master think of it, the foundation of the Zhao family is here, we can escape there, at that time, we will not only offend Yang Wenqing, but also be strangled by the gang of robbers and the government. I mean, we contacted the gang of robbers and divided the gold, they have Yang Wenqing's incriminating evidence in their hands, and it won't be a problem to get Yang Wenqing down!"
Zhao Lian thought about it, and his eyes lit up, "Good plan, Mrs. Good plan, I have long seen Yang Wenqing unpleasant." ”
"If he is unkind, he will not blame us for our unrighteousness. Madame smiled coldly.
"By the way, where did the lord hide the gold? We have to move quickly, we have to contact the robbers first. ”
Zhao Lian had a plan, and there was a smile on his face, and the black feather fan shook gently, "Robbers, there are people in the city, those thieves are all murderous, outlaws, how can they get used to life in the mountains? As for the gold, he hid it in the ......."
Zhao Lian beckoned to the woman, the woman leaned her ear over, Zhao Lian whispered a few words, and sat on the chair at the back end, laughing.
"Master, good means, that place, Yang Wenqing would never have imagined!" the woman praised.
"Hahaha...... That is, Yang Wenqing is bright on the surface, but he is an embroidered pillow, colluding with the robbers, he will be caught by the robbers, but he is threatened by the robbers, he really wants to raise a dog but raises a wolf, he is guilty of his own crimes, and he can't live. ”
On the roof, a figure sat cross-legged, the cool breeze blowing, blowing his scattered hair, in the darkness, faintly revealing a delicate and handsome face, dark golden eyes, with wisps of coldness.
For a long time, the corners of the figure's mouth hooked up a smile, the dog official, really a dog official, colluding with bandits, fish and meat people, for the sake of ten thousand taels of gold, framed, killed people and set fires, it can be said that he did everything.
"Zhao Lian, if I don't kill you today, it's not that I will let you go, just wait, retribution will come soon. ”
As soon as the figure spread, the figure jumped down lightly, extremely fast, ghostly, and disappeared into the vast night.
