Zhurou

Chapter 97 Urging
As if guessing the intention of this person, Mu Xiang turned sideways to stop him: "Let's go, I will go to the Yamen with you."

Then he turned his head and bowed to Zhao Mingzhi: "Girl, go home first, don't worry about it, I'll come as soon as I go."

She was calm and relaxed, as if going to the yamen was nothing worth mentioning.

When he was still far away in Junzhou, because of Fu Da's collusion with the subordinate officials, Li Xun was taken away by the government servants without warning, so he escaped safely, and sent the framer back to prison.

Now, in the place where he has been operating for many years, Mu Xiang said something like this again, Zhao Mingzhi, an outsider, no longer struggled, and let her go as promised, while he went straight back to the house, and invited Guanshi Feng to come over.

She explained the ins and outs of what happened just now, and then said: "At this time, Mu Xiang has followed to the Yamen, and I don't know what's going on. I'm afraid she will suffer..."

Feng Guanshi heard that in addition to Mu Xiang, he also went with two bodyguards, he said: "Miss Zhao, just don't worry, we are right this time, and we will not be afraid wherever we go."

As he spoke, another person was recruited, and he explained a few words. After the person left, he said again: "The vassals have been stirring up wind and rain in the city for a while, so it should be rectified."

After finishing speaking, he asked: "I heard in the morning that the girl is going to look for weapons, don't you know if you have bought them now?"

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said, "I wanted to take another look, but an accident happened halfway."

Manager Feng said, "Mu Xiang went to the yamen, and she probably won't come back until late at night. It's slippery and cold outside. Why don't you pick it out at home? If it doesn't work, I'll send someone to look for it outside. I won't let the girl empty-handed." Come visit."

As he spoke, he turned to the door and waved.

Not long after, several slaves came in carrying two large boxes.

As soon as the box was opened, there were brocade boxes inside, big and small, including knives or swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, whips, hammers, etc., everything that one expects to find.

Zhao Mingzhi considers himself not to be ignorant, there are still many people he doesn't know, and he is dazzled by seeing it for a while, especially when he sees a long wooden box containing a weapon that looks like a gun but not a gun, like an ax but not an axe. It is in the shape of a round hammer and has many iron nails welded on it, so I couldn't help but take a second look.

Steward Feng's observation made someone take out the wooden box and said, "Miss, did you like this shot?"

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and smiled, "It's because I don't know him that I came to take a closer look."

"This thing is a horse lance, and there is nothing special about the rest. Only the steel is fine steel, which is very heavy. It is used by the master when he is young. General Liao may not make it move."

As he spoke, he introduced several other weapons to her.

Zhao Mingzhi hadn't noticed it yet, but now that the two were getting closer, he saw that Guanshi Feng had only two fingers left on his left palm, one of the people standing beside him had lost one ear, and the other had an empty right arm. of.

Several people in the hall were actually disabled.

She had many questions in her mind, but she couldn't answer them. She just pressed the button back and was listening carefully to what Feng Guanshi had to say. She didn't want to hear a young man outside the door suddenly say: "Feng Guanshi, a few people came outside and said they wanted to meet." See……"

As he spoke, he stumbled and raised his head to look at Zhao Mingzhi: "Meet... Ms. Zhao..."

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help being stunned, but he was a little bit vigilant.

When she first arrived in Jingzhao Mansion, she didn't know anyone. Who could come to her and meet her?
Could it be Yushuang?
But how did her injury come so quickly?
Besides, you shouldn't know where you are right now.

She then asked: "Who is the name of the person here? Where did he come from? Is there a post?"

The boy hurriedly handed over a greeting card.

When Zhao Mingzhi received it, he could see that the surname was Chen, and she was also a woman in a boudoir. After thinking about it for a while, it was even more inexplicable. When he opened it, he saw that the invitation was from Chen Yuanniang, the daughter of Lu Zouma, who was in charge of business. He said that he had something to discuss and wanted to see him.

Zhao Mingzhi read it twice, and became more and more confused. After thinking about it, he still couldn't help asking: "Then Chen Yan, who has just taken over the official business...I remember that he was originally from the Huangmen in the palace, how did he give birth to a daughter?"

Since there were no private words in the post, she handed it to Guanshi Feng.

After the other party took it, he scanned the content briefly, and said: "Ms. Zhao doesn't know something. The mountains are high here and the emperor is far away, and Chen's official affairs can go directly to the inner court. Over the years, I don't know how much money I have saved. Because I can't have a future, I have been from the clan. I took a son and a daughter to raise by my side, and I also adopted a adopted son, who I heard is a student..."

"Is the student's surname Chu?" Zhao Mingzhi suddenly thought of the few words he had heard sporadically in the antique shop, and asked again, "Is Mrs. Chen getting close to the vassals?"

As soon as I asked this question, not only Guanshi Feng showed a disdainful expression on his face, but also the people around him curled their lips.

"Where is the only way to get close!" Feng Guanshi said contemptuously, "I don't know, I'm afraid I think those vassals from the city are his offspring!"

"Originally, Jiedu thought that after subduing people, he would be rewarded with one or two small officials. Then Chen Gongshi was afraid that he would not show himself, so he wanted to win over the vassals to raise his status. I don't know how many discounts he paid. Live..."

In the middle of Feng Guanshi's speech, he suddenly woke up like something, hurriedly covered up the matter, and said in a different way: "I don't know whether the rumors from outside are true or not, and those who come from the left and right, no matter whether they are on horseback to take on official duties or transport envoys, they have never There is no good thing, just ask for bribes and threats, secretly collude with the vassals, and even dare to take money from the Di people in private."

As soon as he raised his head, he couldn't help complaining to Zhao Mingzhi: "Once upon a time, there was a man who was the most courageous and the worst man. He was caught and received a lot of bribes from Di Ren, and he wanted to bite back. He had no fear and shouted for him." Going back to write the report, that is, relying on the taboo of the Northwest in the court, so you can talk nonsense!"

Zhao Mingzhi immediately asked: "Is this serious? Or is it rumored outside? Who is that person? What happened afterwards?"

Foreign thieves have always been easy to guard against, but family thieves are hard to guard against. At present, there is still the northwest as a distance. If a traitor is born among the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, and the treachery is carried out at this critical moment, if there is any consequence, all future plans will be taken away. fall through.

Before Guanshi Feng could speak, a follower interrupted and said: "There is no rumor! I was still in the camp that day, and my team happened to be drawn to receive this job. I saw it with my own eyes. How could there be false rumors?" !"

Zhao Mingzhi heard the reputation and looked, but it was the one who lost his right arm.

The man continued: "The official surnamed Qian was placed in Beijing for transshipment. As a result, the soldiers of Qinzhou were drawn on the map and all were given to the people from Xingqing Mansion. We got all the stolen goods. The Di man on the opposite side Seeing that the situation is not going well, he will kill himself with a knife, and he will not admit it anymore, and will say that we are framed."

Hearing this, Zhao Mingzhi still didn't know.

She had heard about it from Lu Xianzhang when she came, but the story was completely different.

It was rumored in the court that the official was hacked to death because of a dispute with Pei Yongyi's domineering subordinates.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "The official surnamed Qian, is he referring to Qian Gang, the Deputy Envoy of Transit?"

The man was taken aback, nodded immediately and said, "How does Miss Zhao know?"

Zhao Mingzhi had no choice but to say: "There are many rumors in the Northwest in Beijing, and they all say that in the past Cao...Cao Jiedu had an objection, and Pei Yong...Pei Jiedu colluded with him. Because Qian Gang found out, Pei Jiedu allowed his men to drink After that, they killed people."

All of a sudden, everyone in the room hissed and started talking.

"That one from Xiazhou didn't like us in the northwest, and Pei Jiedu was even more annoying. Is it strange that they don't splash dirty water someday?"

"Where is this just splashing dirty water! It's just turning black and white, isn't it shameful?"

"Still silence? Who is Jiedu really going to silence? How can people notice it and keep him dead without anyone noticing it!"

"Are the people in the capital so ignorant?"

"For so many years, do you really think that the Northwest is a soft persimmon? If you push it harder, it might as well be the other way around!"

"Don't talk nonsense, my son still needs to take the imperial examination!"

"Is it not good for your son to take the imperial examination in Jingzhao Mansion instead of becoming the emperor?"

"I'm not afraid. If Jiedu is willing to rebel, it's not Jiedu anymore..."

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more, it became less and less like it, then Guanshi Feng coughed, and the rest of them woke up, shut their mouths and stood up straight.

Zhao Mingzhi pointed to the greeting card and said, "I don't know Mr. Chen, but today I seem to have met his adopted son, surnamed Chu..."

Feng Guanshi said quickly: "We are just running an escort agency, and we have always dealt with the Yamen. The quick bearer is someone sent by the court, and we don't know each other on weekdays. If the girl wants to meet a new person, it doesn't matter if you meet him. If you are not interested, I'm going to send people back."

Zhao Mingzhi was taken aback when he heard that, and asked: "Although Chen Yan has no real power, he has all-hands and eyes, so it really doesn't matter if he doesn't see him?"

Feng Guanshi shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing for this kind of eunuch to stay far away. We're not officials, so of course it doesn't matter."

But he added: "It's still up to the girl's own heart."

Zhao Mingzhi thought for a while, then looked at the people in the hall, and finally at Guanshi Feng, before saying: "Then they're gone."

Guanshi Feng breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and hurriedly asked someone to hold the post and go back.

Zhao Mingzhi looked thoughtfully.

Sure enough, before it was dark that day, Mu Xiang came back in full, only saying that the yamen had taken the fan into custody, and waited for a trial date.

But before Zhao Mingzhi could ask a few more questions, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and when he looked up, he saw a man wiping the sweat on his face with his cuff, striding in from the courtyard gate, yelling from a distance. Said: "Xiao Zhao, the second brother said that you want to see Liao Mian, call me to pick you up!"

It was Wei Chengyan.

He got closer, looked at the corner, and said: "It's almost time for dinner, I invited someone to set up a table, let's go now, if you have anything to say, I can talk to him during the table!"

Hearing that shout, Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help sweating, and hurriedly said: "Tell me to change my clothes and come back again."

Wei Chengyan looked her up and down, and said, "Isn't this pretty good? What else should I change?"

He said again: "Why, when I saw my second brother, I didn't see that you dressed up specially. When I met an outsider, you wanted to pretend to be a monkey for him? How can there be such a reason!"

He couldn't stop urging: "Hurry up, hurry up! Come back quickly after eating and talking. After a long delay, the second brother will say that I am jumping up and down in my work, and then arrange a bunch of things to grind my temper. Don't tell me to find you when I have time. Play!"
