Chapter 818: Revenge (I)
The golden crow falls, the jade rabbit rises, and it is another day of dusk.
When Cheng Fang walked away from the bow and crossbow courtyard, he felt that his nervous mood had improved a lot, since he learned about the accident that happened in Kaiyuan Gate yesterday, he had been worried about it, for fear that he would be found to be related to those bows and crossbows, and suddenly there were officers and soldiers who rushed to the front and arrested him for strict interrogation.
Fortunately, today's day has passed so peacefully, and it seems that the matter has not been leaked, at least I am still safe now. But next, he didn't dare to guarantee that this matter would not be traced by the government, after all, as a crossbow master in the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard, he knew too well what these bows and crossbows meant to the imperial court.
For a moment, in addition to regretting, Cheng Fang even thought about escaping from Bianjing while he was not exposed. It's just that after thinking of the old father and young children at home, he can only give up. Even if he can really escape from Jingshi, can he escape from this Great Song Dynasty? What's more, doing so means that he has a weak heart, and when the government has not found out the truth, his actions have stopped telling him.
"It shouldn't be fine, they said they would keep it secret for me......" In the end, Cheng Fang could only comfort himself in his heart. While thinking, his footsteps did not stop for a while, and he kept walking forward according to the habit of many years, until a person passed by him, and at the same time, a voice sounded in his ears: "Master Cheng, please go to the Lejia store on the left." With that, the man stopped and turned and walked to the foot shop that had opened on the side of the street.
After hearing this voice, Cheng Fang's body trembled violently, and his eyes were full of confusion, but in the end, he obediently followed him to the hotel according to what the man said. After entering the door, the two did not share the same table, but sat back to back at the two tables and ordered some wine and food each.
But Cheng Fang didn't eat these drinks and dishes in the end, and he was already apprehensive, and after listening to the other party's words, he felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat: "You...... You promised me only once. ”
"That can't be helped, who made things go wrong? Presumably Master Cheng, you have also heard about yesterday's incident, so I can only ask you to help again, after all, you don't bother the two masters. But don't worry, as long as it happens, the benefits will be yours. ”
"What do I want so much money for?" It's true that you have to have a life to spend money again, and this matter has obviously greatly exceeded Cheng Fang's courage.
"In that case, after the matter is completed, we will not only give you 200,000 yuan worth of money, but also help you and your family leave the Song Realm, how about it?" Seeing that Cheng Fang was still hesitating, this person followed again: "This matter is out of your control, Cheng Shi, you don't want what you did before to be known by the government, right?" ”
"You ......" After sensing the threat of the other party, Cheng Fang was really angry, but he was helpless. Indeed, I have already been deeply involved in it, and I can't help myself if I want to get out again. At this point, he can only choose to trust them and cooperate with them and do things for them: "But it's not that easy, you have to give me some time." ”
"Five days, five days at most." As he spoke, the man had eaten the food and wine in front of him, and after settling the bill, he walked away quickly. As for Cheng Fang, he couldn't even swallow a mouthful of wine and food at this time, so he could only sit a little depressed for a while, and then get up and leave.
Just because of a moment of greed, he has fallen himself and his family into the most dangerous situation! ¥¥¥¥¥
Even though there are still many places in Tokyo City that are lit up and crowded after dark, there are also many places that have quieted down. For example, the recreation square, which is dominated by the mansions of high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, seems to be a little quiet at this time, only a lantern hanging in front of the mansion casts the light on the street outside, sometimes swaying slightly due to the wind.
But suddenly, a neat but powerful footsteps came from far and near, quickly shattering the tranquility of the place, and then a group of forbidden troops with torches went directly to the mansion with the "Wangfu" plaque. Without any hesitation, he saw a soldier step forward and slap the knocker hard.
Only a moment later, the side door creaked open, and the Wang family's porter asked angrily, "Who came to the door so late at night?" My lord has always behaved, and he doesn't see guests after dark! ”
"The Imperial City Division was ordered to take people and ask Wang Shenbin to come out!" A young officer stepped forward with a tiger face and spoke in a calm tone.
"Bold, dare to call my master by his name!" The porter's first reaction was this, but then, suddenly, the previous sentence was more serious, and immediately exclaimed, "What did you say? ”
The young officer didn't answer him at all, he pushed it away as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then rushed straight in: "The Imperial City Division was ordered to arrest Wang Shenbin, and those who dared to obstruct it will be punished as complicity!" ”
The porter was not physically stronger than him, and he had stumbled backwards with only one push, and then he saw that countless forbidden troops had rushed to the door with the officer, which made him even more frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? Dare to break into my royal mansion, come on, come on! ”
The shouting spread far and wide in the relatively quiet mansion, and soon many domestic slaves hurried out with sticks in hand, but when they saw the forbidden troops in armor and carrying knives and guns, their momentum of rushing forward stopped. However, some people still shouted: "What is the reason for your forbidden army to break into my royal mansion? ”
The young officer who came first just smiled gloomily, and then shouted loudly: "Wang Shenbin, you have happened, come out quickly and be bound!" ”
At this time, the owners of the inner house were also alarmed, and the first to run out was a handsome young man, but it was difficult to hide his arrogance, when he ran out angrily, and saw the scene in front of him, he was even more angry and gloomy, and shouted: "Who is my Tao, it is Wei Cheng, you came to the door!" Why, that day, Fan Lou hadn't learned enough lessons, and he dared to come to my house to make trouble, do you want to be whipped a few more times? ”
The officer was Wei Cheng, who left in shame after being humiliated and whipped in Fan Lou that day, and the young man who came out was none other than Wang Chuanming, who was looking at the soldiers of the forbidden army in front of him with disdain and contempt. Although they are tall and tall and armed with sharp blades, in the eyes of his king's office, they are just a group of local chickens and dogs, which are not worth mentioning at all.
When he mentioned the humiliation of the day, Wei Cheng only felt that the whip mark on his cheek, which had faded for the most part, was a hot pain, but what was even more uncomfortable was a heart, which made his face suddenly swell red, and suddenly there was an angry shout: "The bold criminal dares to humiliate the forbidden army like this, take it down for me!" As soon as he said that, he rushed straight up with an arrow, and the knife in his hand slashed out diagonally with the sheath in his hand, and went straight to the opposite door.
Wang Chuanming didn't expect this guy to dare to attack him at all, so he naturally reacted slowly, and he didn't dodge in a hurry until the waist knife was approaching. But he doesn't have any kung fu foundation himself, he is far from Wei Cheng's opponent, and now he is in a hurry, although he has let go of his face, but his shoulder is really sturdy. A thud followed by a scream, and then his tall body was slapped to the ground.
At this moment, the servants of the Wang family on the opposite side were completely shocked. They really didn't expect the other party to dare to be so cruel to their own Yanei, and even they didn't have time to defend it, so they watched Yanai being knocked to the ground, screaming continuously.
After a while, they suddenly came to their senses, and immediately shouted and tried to come to the rescue. But at this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army behind Wei Cheng had also come forward with a hula to meet them, and the blades of the knives and guns flashed with a breathtaking cold light in the firelight, which directly illuminated these guys' hearts for a while: "Whoever dares to step forward will be punished as an accomplice, and he will be killed!" ”
Just when the situation had been completely suppressed by the forbidden army, a majestic voice with a thick anger sounded from within: "Your forbidden army is really bold, you dare to go straight to my Wang's house, and even hurt my son!" If you can't give this official an explanation today, even Captain Gao can't protect you! "The main owner of this matter, Wang Chuanming's father, Wang Shenbin of Taichung finally drove out.
Wei Cheng, who had already vented his frustration, was empty in his heart after facing the angry eyes of this high-ranking official in the court, and subconsciously took a step back. But then, he thought of the instructions that the Marquis of Yue told him when he came, today his family is here to take people, and the righteousness is in hand, and he is afraid that he will not be a high official? At that moment, he raised his anger and said in a deep voice again: "Wang Zhongcheng is invited, my Imperial City Division has found out that you have a close relationship with the Gu family firm that transports and sells bows and crossbows and the Liao Kingdom, and I have come to inquire about you." My general has issued a strict order, but those who dare to obstruct will be punished with the same crime, since Wang Chuanming has just obstructed it, it is impossible to say that this official can only punish a small punishment! ”
This tough attitude and sensitive charges really made Wang Shenbin's heart sink, and he could only put aside the matter of pursuing his son who was injured and fell to the ground, and sneered at the moment: "It's just nonsense, and I want to add a crime!" This official has always acted justly in the court and has a good reputation, how can he do anything to make friends with any merchants, let alone what Liao people and what bows and crossbows. Go quickly, or ......"
"Wang Zhongcheng also asks for forgiveness, today's matter is very important, my Imperial City Division is handling the case according to the order, even if you are in a high position, we can only offend." Although Wei Cheng's momentum was taken away by him, he still did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and he also moved out all his will.
"Hmph, it's a joke. This official is the middle of the imperial history, a high-ranking official from the third rank in the court, even if the criminal department wants to be accountable, you must first ask the Son of Heaven, the political affairs hall, what right do you have as a small imperial city division to act like this? If you dare to do it again, don't blame the official for being ruthless. ”
In the face of his tough attitude, Wei Cheng really didn't know how to deal with it, after all, he was young, and he hadn't experienced any ups and downs, and no matter how he tried to do it, he was far from being able to compare with this old fox in officialdom.
But at this time, a voice sounded from the middle of the forbidden army: "Wang Zhongcheng, do you really refuse to go back with us?" ”
