high official

Chapter 429 Pit

"Is it tolerable or unbearable, not to mention how noble our prince is, how can he suffer such a great shame? Why don't you hand him over right away!" The thousand household halberd pointed at Zhou Yong, and shouted: "Otherwise, don't blame the brothers for being ruthless! "

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Yong laughed back angrily: "I would like to ask my lord, could it be that if I fabricated that the concubine of my imperial envoy was arrested by the King of Jin, I could lead my troops to the Jin Palace to search it? "

"Of course don't think about it! How can the prince's reputation be tarnished! How can the royal palace be trespassed!" Qianhu said decisively.

"Well said!" Zhou courageously sank his dantian, and his voice was rolling: "I will also return these words to you! How can the reputation of the imperial envoy be tarnished? How can the imperial envoy Xingyuan allow trespassing!" Half the city of Taiyuan can hear the words The voice that arrived said: "The imperial envoy represents the emperor to patrol the Quartet. If you dare to break in, you are deceiving the emperor!" As he said, he waved his hand, and the royal blue flag of Wang Ming stood up behind him!
The arrogance of the thousand households was stagnant, and they hurriedly sneered and said: "You don't need to bluff, the emperor will never let someone who robs the concubine of the palace and taints the word imperial envoy. Our prince will clean up for the emperor today. Portal, cut first and play later!"

"How dare you spout blood!" Zhou Yong was almost blown out of his lungs, and shouted violently, "Which eye saw my lord robbing the concubine of the palace?"

"Of course I have eyes to see, otherwise who would dare to suspect the imperial envoy!" The Qianhu clapped his hands, and a shrewd middle-aged man in a blue straight gown came out from behind the crowd.

"Butler Zhou?" Zhou Yong looked at each other in disbelief. Although he and this old Zhou hadn't known each other for long, they had a good relationship, and they even recognized their family.He never expected that the other party would stand up and frame Mr. Imperial Envoy!
"It's me." The middle-aged man was the steward Zhou of Xingyuan. He didn't dare to look at Zhou Yong, his eyes drifted and said: "Last night I saw Miss Yan'er in Xingyuan with my own eyes. She was tortured very badly. , begging me to report to the prince and rescue her from the sea of ​​suffering..."

"Miss Yan'er?" Zhou Yong's scalp exploded, no matter how dull he was, he understood that this was a conspiracy against adults!

"Look, you really know each other." The thousand households regained their spirits immediately, pointed at Zhou Yong and said, "Hand over Miss Yan'er quickly, and then ask your lord to come with me to plead guilty to the lord, maybe this matter will turn around later. Room!" He said with a sinister laugh: "Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

"You're welcome to try!" Zhou Yong naturally couldn't show weakness, and he couldn't allow anyone to put shit on his head. He pointed at Butler Zhou and scolded: "Tell me again what Miss Yan'er does? It's obviously you who arranged One of the many maids in Xingyuan! Besides, my lord is strict with himself, and has never touched those women, and asked you to send all the maids out several times, but you pushed and procrastinated, reluctantly, but in my house My lord insisted again and again, and finally sent Miss Yan'er away! I dare to swear that if I tell a lie, I will have no children and grandchildren, do you dare?"

"..." Zhou Yong's words inadvertently hit the other party's sore spot, butler Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, and said bravely: "I dare not, I dare to swear to God, what you said is a lie , Miss Yan'er is a concubine of the palace, and was arrested by you!"

.

The fierce quarrel at the Yuanmen was reported by the guards to Wang Xian in the front hall.

At this time, Wang Xianzheng and Wu Wei were having dinner, listening to the urgent reports from their subordinates, they should have been too shocked to eat, but the older ones, who were used to life and death scenes, remained unmoved and remained calm. Or chew and eat and drink until he is full, Wang Xian then took the white handkerchief that Gu Xiaolian handed over, wiped his lips gently and said, "It's really disappointing."

"That's right." Wu Wei sighed, "His Royal Highness King Jin actually used such indiscriminate tricks. I thought he could come up with some brilliant tricks."

"It doesn't matter how bad it is, it will work." Erhei said, "Their trick is quite ruthless, and we are in a lot of trouble!" Then he groaned and couldn't help laughing: "My lord, you don't care about this trick!" Does it look familiar?"

"How can you be unfamiliar?" Wang Xian also smiled, and said with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Which of the gangsters on the streets of Fuyang has not done such a messy thing?"

"Yeah, back then we..." Erhei also recalled the glorious deeds of the three of them back then, but thought that Long Yao was also there, so he was embarrassed to mention the bad things when he was down and down, and quickly changed his words: "It's not uncommon."

"What do you mean is not uncommon, it is not uncommon to do." Wang Xian said without any shame in the past.

"Usually, what do you do when you encounter such a situation?" Miss Longyao asked curiously.

"If you fall into other people's tricks, there are usually three strategies to solve the trick." Seeing that Long Yao was asking about himself, Erhei immediately became excited: "Let's talk about the worst strategy first, and I will fight them. Say one thousand and ten thousand , the hard fist is the last word!"

"We can't use this trick," Long Yao shook his head and said, "A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, not to mention King Jin is still a real dragon. Our fists can't beat him."

"Then there is still a middle strategy. Naojiang will go to see the official and let the official comment." Er Hei smiled and said: "But this will only work if you have a strong relationship with the official."

"Then we can't use this trick." Long Yao shook her head and said, "How can there be an official in Shanxi who can control the King of Jin? Even if there is, it's useless. They have a nest of snakes and rats, and they definitely won't turn their elbows outside."

"Don't worry, there is a better strategy." Erhei smiled and said, "Just follow the trick and trap them instead!"

"This move is good, but it's too difficult." Long Yao sighed.

"It's up to people." Wang Xian said with a smile, and ordered the guards: "Go and give Zhou Yong a message."

The guards took orders and rushed to the front, and whispered a few words in Zhou Yong's ear, and Zhou Yong said loudly: "My lord is upright, to save face for the prince, I agree with you to go in and search!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" All the guards of the palace were about to rush forward.

"Slow down!" Zhou Yong yelled violently, "But there is an ugly saying first, what if no one can be found!"

"I can't," Qianhu said confidently, "If I can't find Miss Yan'er, I'll kick your head like a ball!"

"I don't want your head either, as long as you have a pair of ears." Zhou Yong sneered, "But not only you, everyone who goes into Xingyuan must do this!" After a pause, he pointed his halberd at Butler Zhou and said, "But The instigator must die!"

"Do you dare to swear!" Zhou Yong yelled again, and all the subordinates behind him responded in unison: "Swear! Swear!"

That Qianhu and his subordinates all looked at Steward Zhou, saw him nodding hesitantly, so they gritted their teeth and said, "I swear, I swear!"

The thousand households and the soldiers who wanted to go in to search made a solemn oath in public, Zhou Yong asked Wang Mingqi to move away and ordered his men to get out of the way.Then the thousand households led the crowd to the shaft, began to dig three feet into the ground, and searched!In a blink of an eye, the solemn palace of imperial envoys became noisy and chaotic.

Wang Xian ordered someone to tidy up the documents and books, and was optimistic about the officials who were guests in the mansion today, so he and Gu Xiaolian waited in the gazebo for the end of the search.

At this time, it had entered the winter moon, and the night wind was so cold that the torches were shaking.Wang Xian put on the leather robe and cloak that he was going forward, while Gu Xiaolian curled up in his arms, with a puzzled expression on his face, he asked, "Why did the officials let them in? Isn't it easy to ask the gods and send them away?"

"The ones surrounding Xingyuan are only the vanguard." Wang Xian said softly, "Zhu Jihuang has led his troops back to Taiyuan this afternoon. Why is he in such a hurry to come back?"

"The officials are saying that they want to attack Xingyuan?" Gu Xiaolian asked in surprise.

"You won't be able to jump over the wall until the dog is in a hurry." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled, "If you want to kill me, you have to kill all my thousand brothers first. This is in Taiyuan City, not in the wilderness. Openly attacking the imperial envoy Xingyuan, Massacring thousands of people and killing imperial envoys, is he, Prince Jin, planning to rebel?"

"Then what did Zhu Jihong do when he came back?" Gu Xiaolian asked.

"It's deterrence." Wang Xian said softly: "With Zhu Jihong in the line, Steward Zhou dared to frame me boldly. If I don't open the door and prove my innocence, I won't be able to explain it clearly. They can smear me as much as they want, so how can I judge others! "

"But this seems a bit weak, I'm afraid they will intensify and make officials feel uneasy!"

"That's why I want to be intimidating," Wang Xian said lightly, "Let's watch a good show."

In that room, the guards of the palace checked everyone, but they couldn't find the girl Yan'er.But Qianhu is still alive, because he knows that Yan'er girl has been killed by housekeeper Zhou and thrown into the well in the back garden.

The focus of the second round of search was on the places where people could hide. The guards of the palace dug all the places where people could hide inside and outside the house, and finally came to the well.

"My lord, this dark hole in the well seems to be able to hide people?" the subordinate reported.

"Then go down and have a look." Qianhu came prepared, someone immediately brought ropes and torches, and put down the two thin body guards who were good at climbing.The two of them went down to the bottom of the well with their poles, and started to fish for people...one fish, nothing; Not a single human hair was found either!
"Did you remember the wrong place?" Qianhu only let them come up first, then called Steward Zhou aside, and said harshly in a low voice.

"How could it be? There is only this well in the backyard of the entire yamen..." Housekeeper Zhou was even more incredulous, and whispered: "I tied her to a stone and threw her down with my own hands last night!"

"Then why can't I find it?" Qianhu had no choice but to send people down again, this time two more people were sent, and a total of four people searched underground.But Qianhu's confidence had already dropped to freezing point and he asked, "Did someone find out when you did that?"

"No." Steward Zhou shook his head and said, "If they found me, they would have arrested me a long time ago. How can they let me go out of the gate so easily?"

"That's true..." Qianhu thought about it, but after thinking about it, his face turned green and said: "There is another possibility, that is, they didn't make any noise at the time, just to dig a hole for us to jump in right now." Bar?"

　The second one was delivered, the number of votes was too close, and I tried my best to ask for a monthly ticket! ! ! ! !
