Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 193

Wang Shizhen is a dutiful son.The father was convicted and was about to be beheaded.Within two days, he begged more than 20 Yuwang party officials to intercede for his father, but none of them were willing to meet Wang Shizhen.

Wang Yan is the dignified servant of the Ministry of War, one of the six officials, and he can be regarded as one of the generals of the Yuwang Party.It stands to reason that Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng should do their best to protect him.

What's intriguing is that Xu, Gao, and Zhang not only failed to protect Wang Ying, but instead rejected Wang Shizhen's door one after another.Wang Shizhen didn't even meet the three of them.

In front of Prince Yu's Mansion.

He Liu and Lao Hu brought a leg of lamb to see Xiangxiang and Bai Xiaoyan.Xishan black lamb leg stew is a top-grade dish for raising fetus.

As soon as the two arrived in front of Prince Yu's mansion, they saw Wang Shizhen kneeling there.

Feng Bao stood in front of Wang Shizhen.Feng Baodao: "Master Wang. The prince said that he will not see you."

Wang Shizhen kowtowed again and again: "I also ask my little eunuch to tell Prince Yu for me. My father was indeed wronged."

Feng Bao nodded: "Okay, please go back, my lord."

Wang Shizhen turned her head and saw He Liu and Lao Hu: "Third Master, Sixth Master. My father's case..."

He Liu lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, I told you a long time ago. That case was handled by Liu Da. It's useless for you to beg us. If you ask, you can go to Xu, Gao, and Zhang. They can tell the emperor. Speak up. Let them say a few good words in front of the emperor, and your father may have a chance."

Wang Shizhen smiled wryly: "I have been to the residences of the three adults Xu, Gao, and Zhang more than a dozen times! I have been shut down every time."

He Liu felt strange: Wang Ying is a hardcore Yuwang party.Why did Xu, Gao, and Zhang turn a blind eye when something happened to him?
Feng Bao suddenly came up to him: "Godfather, righteous brother. Come into the house quickly! The cook has already boiled the water, just waiting for your Xishan black lamb shank to be put into the pot."

After Feng Bao finished speaking, he walked directly in front of He Liu, took Brother Yi's hand and walked into the palace.

Entering the palace, Feng Bao said in a low voice, "Brother Yi, godfather. Don't worry about Wang Ying's affairs in the future. Prince Yu has his own plans."

He Liu keenly noticed that when the 17-year-old Feng Bao said this, there was a cunning in his eyes that was not commensurate with his age.

He Liuxin thought: This little guy Feng Bao, who serves King Yu and Concubine Li every day, naturally knows many secrets.Could it be that King Yu ordered the officials of King Yu's party not to take care of Wang Ying's affairs?King Yu is going to abandon the pawn to save the car?

He Liu and Lao Hu's going in and out of Prince Yu's Mansion now is like going in and out of their own home.They went to the kitchen first, handed the leg of lamb to the cook, and then went to Bai Xiaoyan and Xiangxiang's residence in Xixiang Garden.

Xixiang Garden occupies one-fifth of the entire Yuwang Mansion.Concubine Li gave such a large garden to Bai Xiaoyan's mother and daughter to live in, which shows how much she favors Bai Xiaoyan's mother and daughter.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoyan was watching Xiangxiang catching grasshoppers in the garden.

It is early autumn.As the saying goes, a grasshopper after autumn will not be able to hop for a few days.In the grasshopper cage tied around Xiangxiang's waist, there are already more than a dozen fat and big grasshoppers.

"Father!" Seeing He Liu, Xiangxiang threw herself into his arms with two short legs.

He Liu picked up the round Xiangxiang and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiangxiang replied: "Catch grasshoppers! Look at how fat these big grasshoppers are! I'll ask my mother to roast them for me in a while!"

Old Hu smiled and said: "Xiangxiang, there is nothing you don't want to eat, except human flesh, that flies in the sky and runs on the ground!"

Xiangxiang pouted: "Huh, Grandpa Hu, do you know what a horse is? A grasshopper is still meat even though it is small!"

Old Hu laughed and scolded: "You little snack dog."

Xiangxiang tilted her head, and said back, "Hmph, you're always eating dogs."

He Liu patted Xiangxiang's head lightly: "Don't talk to elders like that."

He Liu came to Bai Xiaoyan with Xiangxiang in his arms, and said, "I ran into Wang Shizhen at the gate of the palace just now."

Bai Xiaoyan is different from the women of ordinary people's families, she has extraordinary knowledge, although she doesn't know everything about court affairs, she does know a thing or two.Now that He Liu encounters important matters, he always likes to discuss them with his wife.

Bai Xiaoyan pouted at the surrounding maids.

He Liu immediately fell silent.It seems that these maids serving Bai Xiaoyan are all Concubine Li's eyes.

Bai Xiaoyan asked: "Why are you and Uncle Hu so free today?"

Old Hu sighed: "Oh, my apprentice Liu Da temporarily took charge of Jin Yiwei. He left me and Lao Liu aside. He transferred all the warriors under us. Not to mention, any case that this guard handles now , don’t let us interfere. Now we are the most idle people in the entire Jinyiwei!"

Lao Hu spoke very loudly, as if deliberately letting the surrounding maids hear.

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Uncle Hu, it's very windy in the garden. Let's go back to the house and talk."

After entering the house, Bai Xiaoyan dismissed a few palace maids: "Go to the kitchen to see how the stewed lamb leg soup is doing. After the stew is finished, remember to send a bowl to the princess."

Then, Bai Xiaoyan asked He Liu: "You just said that you met Wang Shizhen?"

He Liu nodded: "Wang Shizhen should have come to intercede for his father, Wang Ying. It's so strange that King Yu actually rejected Wang Shizhen's door. Not only King Yu, but also the three adults Xu, Gao, and Zhang also gave Wang Shizhen a hard time. The door was closed. Could it be that Prince Yu is abandoning his pawn to save the car?"

Bai Xiaoyan shook her head: "It's not about abandoning pawns to save the car. In my opinion, this is probably a trick of 'dragging the knife'."

One word from Bai Xiaoyan woke He Liu up.

The so-called "dragging the sword" refers to the confrontation between the two armies' generals, and one side drags the sword to pretend to be defeated, so as to lure the enemy to chase after it.When the enemy general is chasing behind him, he suddenly turns around and counterattacks while the enemy general is triumphant. . .

Back then when Guan Yu beheaded Cai Yang and defeated Huang Zhong in Changsha, they all used tricks.

Old Hu said: "Wonderful! It turns out that King Yu is showing weakness to the strict party!"

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Before you entered the mansion, the three lords Xu, Gao, and Zhang had already gone to the prince's study to 'speak the scriptures'. Let's watch. After the feint, it's almost time to plan a one-shot victory."

King Yu's study.

Gao Gong said to Xu Jie: "Mr. Xu Ge, Wang Ying is one of us. He was imprisoned by the strict party and imprisoned, but we turned a blind eye. This will chill the hearts of the officials who work for the prince! Wang Shizhen is here I have been to my house four times. I told my family that I am not in the house. Alas, that Wang Shizhen is a filial son who is hard to find in the world. For the fourth time, he kowtowed in front of my house and bled..."

Xu Jie didn't answer, but just looked at King Yu.

King Yu said to Gao Gong, "Old Xu Ge told you to leave Wang Yan alone, he has his own reasons.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty, I think that we have already bluffed and defeated the Yan Party twice. Wu, Dong, and Zhang were dismissed from office and exiled for impeaching Yan Song, which counts as our first loss. One of the cases was sent to prison to be executed, which is the second round. The Yan party should be very proud at this moment. Next, should we start to fight back?"

"No! We have to wait for the Yan Party to take action! Only when they take action can we reveal our flaws!" A woman's voice came into the study.Concubine Li walked in slowly.

Concubine Li said: "As long as the strict party takes action, there must be loopholes to follow! Now is not the time to fight back!"

King Yu nodded: "Concubine Li's meaning is also my king's meaning. It's just that Wang Ying is pitiful... When this king succeeds to the throne, I will treat Wang Ying generously."
