Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 180 Good cards need to be played by masters

"How can you be so troubled! Fortunately, you are also a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, but you are so nasty! So vulgar! Shameless! So lustful!

Go and ask around, is there anyone who... would make the bed collapse?ah? "

In the bedroom, Wang Yunxiu held a feather duster and pointed at the two "culprits."

Fang Chongyong and Anaye in front of them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.Next to them was a collapsed bed, with the wooden board in the middle broken into two pieces.

"I see you were quite happy at that time..."

Anaye couldn't help but retorted, and Wang Yunxiu immediately turned his head and glared at her and cursed: "Shut up! You slut! You just came to Chang'an and you attracted bees and butterflies. You even caused the Honglu Temple Shaoqing's family to be wiped out. Do you think What a good thing you are, you are the Su Daji next to King Zhou of Shang Dynasty! You are not allowed to go out in the future!"

"Okay..." Anaye responded with an aggrieved look.

No matter what Wang Yunxiu said, she would still dare next time.

"Actually, just buy another bed. There is no need to get angry. These are all trivial matters. The joy of the boudoir, the saints say it is a major matter of human relations."

Fang Chongyong whispered with a guilty conscience.

Last night, he was lucky enough to be released from house arrest and returned home. The three of them got together and cried with joy, as if a treasure had been lost and found.

Under the influence of tenderness, some very sexy and violent links followed.They had so much fun at night that the old wooden bed collapsed.

"Is that a problem with the bed?"

Wang Yunxiu asked angrily. When she thought of what happened last night, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!

Why was I so seduced by these two obscene idiots at that time?

The folk customs in Hexi are indeed very bad!Fang Chongyong stayed there for several years, and when he came back he looked like a bird in Bian Zhen Qiu Ba!

She thought inwardly.

"The bed is broken, so of course it's the bed's fault. How can it be the person's fault?"

Fang Chongyong looked like it was natural.

"That's it, there will be no next time."

Wang Yunxiu waved her hand impatiently, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhang Guangsheng far away from the bedroom door, slightly bent over, with his head lowered in a gesture of cupping his hands.

She threw the feather duster on the ground, twisted her sore waist and walked out of the bedroom, dragging Anaye out along the way.Seeing that all the women in Fang Chongyong's home had left, Zhang Guangsheng walked in quickly. Fang Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted, saying: "General Fang, Wei Jian sent you a greeting card. He is just outside the door."

"Wei Jian? What's he doing here? He didn't say hello before coming to the door. I don't think I'm that familiar with him, right?"

Fang Chongyong said to himself in confusion.

It wouldn't be surprising if Zheng Shuqing came directly to the door. Anyway, this man's face is thicker than the city wall.

But Wei Jian, who usually behaves very conservatively and reservedly, seemed a little strange when he came directly to the door without saying hello.

As an important official of the imperial court, his behavior is very unstable!
Zhang Guangsheng said: "This subordinate also doesn't know. But General Fang is going to the Jinwu Guard Yamen later. Does this subordinate also want to go with him?"

"Of course. Humph, I have assigned you the position of King Wu Wei Si Ge, an eighth-grade officer, in charge of ten people."

Fang Chongyong said with a slightly proud hum.

Hearing this, Zhang Guangsheng was overjoyed and said: "It is indeed a prosperous official career following General Fang. I didn't expect that my subordinate would suddenly go from a border town Qiuba to an official of Jinwu Guard."

"That's natural.

You go and guard the door, not allowing anyone to come in or letting anyone out.There is something to discuss with Wei Jian. "

Fang Chongyong told Zhang Guangsheng, while he walked outside the courtyard gate and personally led Wei Jian, who came alone and never brought his servants with him.

He brought Wei Jian to the study room, and after the two of them sat down, Fang Chongyong poured Wei Jian a glass of mulberry wine, and then said politely with a hesitant look on his face: "What kind of wind brought the fortune teller here today? It really made a certain family prosperous." Piper produces brilliance."

He spoke very politely, and Wei Jian also bowed politely and said nothing.

Seeing the other party's expression, Fang Chongyong suddenly realized and said: "Look at X's memory, Princess Wei's medicine, because X has been under house arrest by Jinwu Guards for no reason these past two days, so I'm afraid it will take two days to find the medicine... "

Fang Chongyong said a little embarrassed.

In fact, the real situation is that he has no idea how far this matter has progressed.

He was imprisoned in the Jinwu Guard Yamen. With Anaye's stubborn mind, she must have given up on everything and would not be able to live without seeing him come back safely. How could she care about Wei Jian's sister's affairs!
If Fang Chongyong is gone, Wang Yunxiu will still be Wang Yunxiu, but Anaye will definitely become a dead person, which is why Fang Chongyong feels sorry for her.

"Well, actually, the medicine is no longer needed, but I still want to thank General Fang for his help regardless of the risk."

Wei Jian bowed and saluted Fang Chongyong.

Fang Chongyong quickly supported her and asked doubtfully: "My concubine's medical skills are quite good, why do you say it's useless without giving it a try?"

"Because my sister died of illness just yesterday. Although there are no funeral secrets in the Ten Kings' Residence, how could someone not know about it?" Wei Jian lamented.

Hearing this, Fang Chongyong nodded slightly, said "I'm sorry and accept the change", and then stopped talking.He knew that since Wei Jian didn't come here to get medicine for him, it must be for something bigger and more serious.

Fang Chongyong put away the smile on his face and looked at Wei Jian, waiting for the other party's reply.

"General Fang's concubine, I don't know if she has said anything. When she was diagnosing, my sister's condition... was abnormal."

Wei Jian asked in a low voice.

What kind of person was Fang Chongyong? As soon as he heard it, he knew what Wei Jian was afraid of with such a vague inquiry.

He thought about it for a moment, then crossed his hands and saluted:
"I didn't say anything, just that it takes time to prepare the medicine, and some of the medicinal materials have to come from Hexi, but I didn't mention that the disease has reached a life-threatening level.

There may be something strange in this, but a certain concubine has little talent and little knowledge, and I can't see why. "

Just now he was praising his medical skills, but now he is saying that he has little talent and little knowledge.Fang Chongyong simply pushed away all the responsibilities that Anaye might bear.

His speaking skills in both official and Chinese characters were brought to their fullest potential here.

Hearing this, Wei Jian seemed to understand something, and then he crossed his hands and saluted and said goodbye: "In this case, there is no doubt about that."

Wei Jian must have something on his mind, but he would definitely not talk to Fang Chongyong, who had only asked for help once.

"Mr. Wei Zhuan, go slowly. I'll see you off."

"You're welcome, General Fang, please come back."

When he was sent to the door, Wei Jian resolutely refused to let Fang Chongyong follow him out.

When he returned to the wing where Anaye lived, he saw the two girls who had just had a serious quarrel, gesticulating excitedly.Anaye also put her hands on her thin waist and patted her again and again. She didn't know what she was discussing, but she seemed very happy.

Seeing Fang Chongyong coming, they all quickly put away their smiles and sat with calm expressions, as if the scene just now was an illusion.

"Come here."

Fang Chongyong waved to them and said calmly.

Wang Yunxiu, who had previously scolded Fang Chongyong as if he was lecturing his younger brother, now behaved like a good boy. He and Anaye walked up to their man without saying a word or complaining at all.

"Princess Wei, was she poisoned before?"

Fang Chongyong asked, looking into Anaye's eyes.Sure enough, the latter's eyes were rolling, and he couldn't help but look left and right. Fang Chongyong had seen this expression countless times when he was in Hexi!
"to be frank."

"She... seemed to have been poisoned before that, probably arsenic."

Anaye said helplessly and honestly.

"really."

Fang Chongyong sighed lightly. After hearing the story of Princess Wei, he knew that this woman would not be able to escape Li Heng's murderous hands.

I just didn’t expect Li Heng to be so decisive!
When Webster showed no signs of dying of illness, he dared to take action suddenly!

But think about it, Li Heng is now playing in Zhongnan Mountain with many of Brother Ji's descendants, and Concubine Wei died at this time, so of course his suspicion can be ruled out!In other words, it can be alleviated to the greatest extent.

Ruthless is the emperor's family!

Brother Ji was not merciless in killing his son, and Li Heng was not merciful in killing his wife. These genes are really powerful.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

“No one can tell anyone about this matter, and they must remain tight-lipped.

If word spreads, we will be killed. "

Fang Chongyong warned the two women with a solemn expression.

Wang Yunxiu and Anaye both nodded. Of course they understood how serious this matter was.If Fang Chongyong hadn't asked now, they would never have told anyone else.

"If Wei Jian asks again, do we have to keep it a secret? Even if Wei's people come to plead?"

Wang Yunxiu asked doubtfully.

"right.

If we tell them, it will greatly affect the current political situation in Chang'an City. Good luck and bad luck are unpredictable, and there is no need to gamble.

In short, just keep it secret.

Also, all future invitations from the Ten Kings House will be turned down.There are not many good people there, and the ones with decent character can be counted on one hand! "

Fang Chongyong continued to warn with a tigerish face.

The fact that Concubine Wei was poisoned to death made Fang Chongyong feel chills.

Brother Ji is not a human being, and his heirs are not economical lamps either.Each one is more ruthless than the other, and there is nothing they can't do!

"I understand, I won't let A Lang worry."

Wang Yunxiu nodded slightly and said.

"Well, I'm going to the Jinwuwei Yamen. These are troubled times, so be careful in everything you say and do."

Fang Chongyong sighed, not knowing whether he was warning the women at home or reminding himself.

……

In front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Fang Chongyong was stunned for a while when he saw the crowd.If he hadn't been to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, he would have thought it had been converted into a vegetable market.

A certain dog keeper was "checking out" the crowd who had been surrounding the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen for most of the day. Each person was given a handful of copper coins, and the pattern was very routine and formulaic.

They traded like this in front of Jin Wuwei, without any cover-up, and seemed to have no fear.

The Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is located in Guangdefang next to the West Market and is not in the imperial city, so residents in Chang'an City can enter and leave Guangdefang at will.

When the imperial court placed the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen here, it had some "people-friendly" meaning.Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the imperial city at all, and the central government offices within it, including the three provinces and six ministries, will naturally not be disturbed by ordinary people.

So Zheng Shuqing was blocked... He really couldn't use his power to act like a hooligan and isolate the rest of the crowd, so he had no choice but to continue.

Not only that, one of the gates of Guangde Square is facing the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and outsiders can even see whether it is open or not.Lao Zheng can't even cry without tears now, and he can't express the pain of being ridden by a flying dragon.

"Stand back, the Jinwu Guards are patrolling, and those who are idle should stay away!"

Fang Chongyong led ten Jinwu Guard hornmen and ten Jinwu Guard crossbowmen, forming two teams behind him.With high spirits, he "accidentally" patrolled the streets and began to drive away the onlookers.

He thought a conflict would break out, but he didn't expect it to break out at all.I yelled and tried to show off, but unexpectedly I just pretended to be lonely.

Those "sufferers" of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen are not afraid of Zheng Shuqing, or the more furious Zheng Shuqing is, the more excited they become. The more outrageous the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen does, the more money they can get.

But these people are still very afraid of the Jinwu Guards, and they can't get any benefits.

After Fang Chongyong drove them away for a while, they dispersed like birds and beasts and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Sure enough, no one is a fool these days. Those conventional tricks to scare people are of no use at all."

Fang Chongyong looked at the "sufferers" going away and murmured to himself.

It seems that the "fishing law enforcement package" he had prepared long ago will not be used this time.Eggs also have the wisdom of eggs. They will not see stones coming and throw them at them without thinking.

Knocking on the door of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, Fang Chongyong asked 20 Jinwu Guards behind him, including Zhang Guangsheng, to guard the outside, and then strode into the Yamen lobby.

At a glance, Zheng Shuqing looked like a girl who was surrounded by hooligans in her previous life. She was so frightened that she hid behind the desk and shivered.

As soon as he saw Fang Chongyong coming in, Zheng Shuqing immediately stood up, looked at the armor of the General of the Jinwu Guard, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"God helps me! God helps me! I will definitely win this round!"

Zheng Shuqing laughed loudly, his face looking slightly crazy.

Fang Chongyong felt that Lao Zheng was being blindly optimistic, and he was too embarrassed to interrupt his self-pleasure, so he had to stand alone and awkwardly wait for Zheng Shuqing to vent his emotions.

"I heard that Zhang Shi, the son of Zhang Yi, the censor, was let go by order of the right minister?"

Seeing Zheng Shuqing regaining his composure, Fang Chongyong pulled him aside and asked.Fang Yanei only learned about this today, and suddenly felt that things were not that optimistic, or not as optimistic as Zheng Shuqing thought.

"Why did you mention that? I was almost disgusted to death by Zhang Shi's face."

Zheng Shuqing said with a look of disgust, getting angry thinking about this.

When the son of the censor Zhongcheng was released, he said that Zheng Shuqing was dead this time!The attitude is extremely arrogant!

"Moreover, the right prime minister will not let Jingzhao Mansion investigate the matter of imperial examination fraud, and will leave it to the Yushitai to deal with it."

Zheng Shuqing said with a slight frown. In fact, he also vaguely felt that things had changed.

Recently, apart from Fang Chongyong becoming the general of the Jinwu Guard, there has been all bad news, almost one after another!
“Now, the Left Prime Minister should have concentrated all resources on targeting the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and we don’t know what hidden tricks they have up their sleeves.

Although I control half of the Jinwu Guard now, I am too embarrassed to help you openly. Therefore, I have to use a clever method to break this first round! "

Fang Chongyong said thoughtfully.

Just looking at the active "dog caretakers" outside the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, or the "enthusiastic onlookers", you will know that this matter is a set-up.

The people on Zuo Xiang's side were waiting for Zheng Shuqing to lose his patience and ask the yamen servants in the Jingzhao Mansion to drive people away with sticks.At that time, Yushitai came to put Zheng Shuqing's shoes on to see if they fit.

Lao Zheng is now pretending to be a dead dog and watching the other party do whatever he wants outside the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. In fact, he has seen through these bad tricks and just doesn't want to fall into the trap.

"So, what's the trick?"

Zheng Shuqing asked doubtfully.

Fang Chongyong waved to him, then leaned over and whispered: "Only routine can defeat routine. They can play dirty tricks, and so can we. Just do this, do this, and do this again..."

He whispered, gesturing with his hands.

Zheng Shuqing immediately cheered after hearing this!
The Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is like a fish trapped in a fishing net. They cannot get out of the trap by their own strength.

But now, if another Jinwu Guard who "enforces the law impartially" is added, the situation will be completely different.

However, good cards still need to be played by experts.Now that the two of them join forces, they can barely give it a try.Just how to operate it depends on Fang Chongyong's ability!

"Okay! Then let's sign with them."

Zheng Shuqing suddenly felt emboldened, clenched his fists with both hands and shouted fiercely.

Fang Chongyong sighed, he was not as optimistic as Lao Zheng.
