Da Song: Shhh, I'm really not a prince

Chapter 333 Look, that's where Zhong Shiquan jumped down...
-
"Sir, Sima Guang, I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Zhao Shi did not sit on his horse, but hurriedly got off his horse and supported Sima Guang: "Please get up, Junshi. Junshi is busy with business, so there is no need to come to greet him."

Sima Guang smiled wryly: "Your highness is benevolent, but your highness is a king, and your ministers are ministers. How can a king come and a minister not welcome him? Second, if your minister is guilty, your highness is not guilty. How can the guilty not welcome the innocent?" present."

said,

Without waiting for Zhao Shi to react,

Sima Guang turned his head and glanced at the dozen or so officials of the Taiyuan Mansion who followed him, and then... more than a dozen people knelt down in unison, and Sima Guang hissed: "I will sit and watch Zhong Shiquan go out of the city greedily, and commit suicide after being defeated. I will wait... ...the death penalty."

砰

said,

He knocked his head on the ground.

As for Zhao Shi's side, not to mention the arresting yamen servant, even Zhao Shi couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then... inevitably a little... gloomy: "What did you say?"

Sima Guang prostrated himself on the ground, and said clearly: "After Chuan Shiquan arrived in Bingzhou, he often drank heavily. After drinking, he made a lot of noise and wanted to leave the city to fight for His Highness and take back the lost fields. In addition, these days in Xixia, there will always be soldiers coming to provoke. The day before yesterday, I didn't notice for a while, and let him rush out with more than a hundred soldiers, and then returned in a big defeat. He rushed there in a hurry, but he was one step too late, and because of his defeat, Zhong Shiquan felt guilty, and finally jumped down in front of the ancient plank road, and committed suicide."

嗡

The back of Zhao Shi's head went numb, and then he stretched out his hand to support the horse's back, and then asked calmly, "Where's the corpse?"

"Ask about corpses!"

Zhou Tong jumped off his horse a long time ago, and when he heard Zhao Shi's question, he couldn't help pointing at Sima Guang and scolded, "It must have been ruined by this dog official, Your Highness, please give an order! As long as you give an order, the subordinates will Burning incense will make him regret being born in this world."

"To shut up."

Zhao Shi turned his head and cursed viciously, then looked down at Sima Guang and took a breath: "Where's the corpse?"

"Never found."

Sima Guang smiled wryly, and he also knew that he had neglected his duties this time.

"could not find it?"

As for Zhao Shi's people, not to mention Zhou Tong, who is more irritable, even Zheliang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you know that you committed suicide the day before yesterday? Why haven't you found it today?"

but,

It's good that Sima Guang didn't raise his head, but the civil servants behind Sima Guang also felt resentful, they couldn't help but raised their heads and said stubbornly: "First of all, there is an ancient plank road there, if you go there and take a look, you will know it, don't say anything It’s been two days, that’s three to five days, or even three to five years. If you’re not lucky, you won’t be able to find the corpse. Second, that kind of world power, you’ve just come to Taiyuan Mansion for three days to look like a person. Three days later, Either beating and scolding soldiers and officials, or drinking too much and not going out, Sima Tong came to the door several times to persuade him, but was turned away, what do you want us to do? Staring at him day and night?"

even……

"Pooh."

Some officials ignored Zhao Shi's presence and cursed fiercely: "You deserve it."

"What did you say?"

Although Zhou Tong is not close friends with Zhong Shiquan, he has worked with Zhong Shiquan after all, and both of them are His Royal Highness's confidantes, so it is inevitable that they are still a little bit sad. He didn't stop him, but looked at Sima Guang and said, "Mr. Sima, since that's the case, let's take us to the so-called ancient plank road first!"

"Your Highness."

Before Sima Guang could speak, a chubby official in his fifties persuaded him, "Your Highness is exhausted day and night, why don't you take a rest for a few days before going to investigate? Besides, I have received a call from His Highness a few days ago." After receiving the news, we have already started preparing the banquet and food, why don't you enjoy it, Your Highness."

Zhao Shi looked at him: "Your Excellency?"

"Don't dare to pretend to be Your Excellency." The chubby official couldn't help showing joy on his face: "I am the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture. My surname is Han, and my given name is Changdu. Your Highness can call me Changdu."

"To shut up."

Sima Guang gave the official a cold look. The official was embarrassed for a moment, and then shrank aside. After all, Sima Guang was the judge of the entire Bingzhou, so Sima Guang sighed: "Since your highness wants to go, my minister I dare not not lead you, but the ancient plank road has been in disrepair for a long time and may be dangerous, I have the courage to ask Your Highness to promise not to approach it, otherwise, even if Your Highness punishes me with death, I will never let your Highness go down the ancient plank road."

"it is good."

Zhao Shi was expressionless.

After half an hour...

Ancient plank road.

Zhao Shi was a little surprised looking at a thin ancient road hanging above the abyss. The ancient road was built of wooden boards, and the width was only three feet from left to right. In some places, the cliffs protruded, so people could only bend over or pass sideways. , Not to mention walking, just looking at it from a distance makes people feel terrified, Zhao Shi is just surprised... how can someone build such an ancient road under such conditions.

real,
uncanny workmanship.

"Your Highness."

Sima Guang stared at Zhao Shi's legs, for fear that Zhao Shi would take another step forward, and he made preparations to hold Zhao Shi's thigh tightly at all times, and then explained: "At noon the day before yesterday (11 to 13 [-] o'clock), General Zhong Shiquan went out of the city drunkenly. I didn't know until Shenshi (fifteen to seventeen o'clock). Then, when I arrived, General Zhong Shiquan was standing at the fourth corner in front of me. Before he had time to yell: General, no, he jumped down and said only one sentence: I am ashamed of your Highness."

Zhao Shi subconsciously took half a step forward...

"Your Highness."

Not only Sima Guang, Zheliang, Zhou Tong, but even those Bingzhou officials who Zhao Shi may not even remember their names all took a step forward in unison, and some even grabbed Zhao Shi's clothes. The back of the robe, Zhao Shi did not really put himself in danger, he was the only son, and something happened to him, it is hard to imagine how painful it would be for Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao who were lost and recovered, not to mention, he still has two beautiful wives, turning his head , Zhao Shi asked Zhou Tong: "Can I go there?"

Zhou Tong stood on the edge of the cliff, looked down, and said affirmatively, "Yes."

Only then did Zhao Shi nod and ask people to search for the rope, then pulled Zhou Tong there and said in a low voice, "You'll pass by later, don't rush to step on that area, you have to observe carefully, and it's best to be able to see that place The entire area will be dismantled for me..."

Speaking of which,

Zhao Shi turned his head: "Mr. Sima, where does the ancient plank road lead here? Is it still useful?"

Sima Guang saw that Zhao Shi was not impulsive and went to check by himself, and he seemed relieved. Hearing this sentence, he hurriedly replied: "It's useless, this ancient plank road used to lead to Yunding Mountain, and now Yunding Mountain has a new one. The mountain road, this plank road has been abandoned, and it was not abandoned recently, it was abandoned hundreds of years ago, so, Zhou Tong, when the Zhou army patrols up, please be careful."

"Humph"

Zhou Tong snorted coldly, not accepting his kindness, Zhao Shi also snorted, which made Zhou Tong promise to be careful,

then,

here comes the rope

Zhao Shi was pulled by more than a dozen people. In fact, this rope is not very useful. It is parallel, not from top to bottom, but it is better than nothing. Although it is the fourth corner, it is not invisible, but if you are facing the cliff, you can only see a small half of the profile, and then Zhou Tong stopped in front of the fourth corner, turned around and shouted: "Your Highness, this It looks like it has some scratches on it."

Zhao Shi judged the approximate distance, which was more than eighty meters in a straight line, then nodded and said, "Very well, you should observe carefully, and then find a way to get it back for me together with that piece." Then, Zhao Shi also asked some The catcher started to prepare the wood, and stood on the edge, imitating the appearance of that piece and began to make it little by little.

"it is good."

Zhou Tong is also really brave. He flicked the rope on his back and fixed it on a crossbar above his head. Then, relying on the rope's traction, he leaped to the other side in a volley, and then pulled out the rope. Take out a pen and paper, first follow Zhao Shi's instructions, write, or even draw what he can see, and then start to dismantle it from far to near, and there are also policemen here to greet him, and soon the On the shore, an identical ancient plank road was built for Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi calmly stood beside the ancient plank road and observed, observed the scratches, observed the water stains, observed...

clang clang

is watching,

Zhao Shi suddenly heard the sound of beating gongs and drums coming from the foot of the mountain, and while he was wondering, the Quan Zhi Taiyuan government official named Han Yue approached cautiously: "Your Highness, although the case is important, you must be careful." The body of a thousand pieces of gold! Why don't you eat and drink some rice noodles, and then worry about it?"

Zhao Shi glanced at him, and glanced over his chubby face at the delicacies brought up with drums and gongs. They were also flattering. Zhao Shi obviously preferred the kind of Cheng Yi in Kaifeng Mansion. However, Zhao Shichu had just arrived, although For the prince, there is no need to be so eager to show your character, but just ordered: "Try not to waste extravagance in the future." Then he waved his hand to let people eat.

Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "No, no, if His Royal Highness hadn't come all the way from thousands of miles, I would never dare to be so extravagant even if Mr. Pang returned." Then, he pushed away several Taiyuan government officials The yamen servant personally brought tea and food to Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi didn't refuse, but mainly talked to Sima Guang next to him: "Mr. Sima, something happened to Zhong Shiquan, how about the arrests he brought?"

Sima Guang obviously didn't like this way of eating very much, so he refused with a square face, just took a sip of a cup of tea and said: "As soon as General Zhong came, he distributed the arresters to various armies to serve as small banners, They should not know that something happened to General Zhong, but as for the entourage that General Zhong brought with him, they were all sent out half a month ago to find a mountain to build a camp."

Zhao Shi nodded,

then,

Zhao Shi took a bite of the big chicken leg, and looked at the mountain range with a blank expression: "Then, what about the soldiers who died in battle?"
