Chapter 789: Proving Innocence (Part II)
"Master Zhang......" Liu Siwen was a little confused by Zhang Siwei's words, in fact, he was not the only one, the people present, basically except for Zhang Fan and Zhang Siwei themselves, were all a little confused, "You said that you can't know what the flood happened, what do you mean, and ...... It was said that it was just those days, could it be that something happened in Lord Wang's military camp in those days?"
"This ......" Zhang Siwei looked hesitant and didn't know whether to say it or not, but he finally spoke, "But as Lord Liu said, something did happen in those days,"
"Master Zhang, what's wrong with you," Sun Piyang on the side was really puzzled why Zhang Siwei put on such a look, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything unspeakable that can't be hidden?"
"......" and Zhang Siwei still looked like he wanted to say it or not, but this time, he nodded.
"Lord Zhang, maybe there is something bad to say, but now, what is the current situation, I think Lord Zhang also understands it in his heart," Liu Si asked, "The current situation is quite unfavorable for Lord Zhang, if there is something about Lord Zhang, if there is something to say that can change the situation, please speak clearly,"
Hearing Liu Siwen say this, Zhang Siwei looked helpless, and finally made a helpless look, and said: "Okay, although it's a bad thing, but compared to the current situation, it's nothing.
"The day before the flood, Ziwei practiced with his uncle's sergeants as usual, you also know that his uncle has been fighting for decades, and he has been fighting with the Tartars for decades, although now, the two sides have opened up to each other, and there are no Tartars who came to plunder in the frontier, and my uncle also went to Shanxi to be the governor, and my uncle was also old, and it was time to enjoy the blessings, but he just couldn't let go, and he couldn't calm down, and even now, my uncle's means of training the army are no different from before.
"What I practiced that day was, put on armor, bring a knife and bow, and run ten miles back and forth, that is, twenty miles, everyone present is a scholar, maybe you don't know, but Master Taifu is wearing armor, and I also know what it's like to be compared to that," Speaking of this, Zhang Siwei looked at Zhang Fan who was sitting on the side.
Not only Zhang Siwei, in fact, everyone present turned their eyes to Zhang Fan, it was not that there were no generals, but most of these people were wearing court clothes or regular clothes on weekdays, and when they were wearing armor and being fully armed, there were really not many, and some even, although they were military generals, they took off their armor after wearing it for a while, and they didn't know what the concept was when they were wearing armor all the time and running for twenty miles.
And Zhang Fan also took advantage of the situation, showing a look of deep understanding, nodded slightly, and said, "This ...... Yuande is also 'lucky', hehe...... This...... That's really a little unbearable, just imagine, the whole body is wearing armor, not to mention that it has to weigh dozens of pounds, not to mention the knife and bow, even if you don't do anything, let you stand there and stand, don't say a day, I can't stand it for an hour, if it weren't for the Tartar in front of me at that time, the ghost would be willing to wear those, and later, even if the Tartar was killed, I had a thought in my heart, instead of wearing these crimes, it would be better to take off and fight with the Tartar, "When Zhang Fan talked about this matter, The expression on his face is also very rich, it is completely unbearable, this is also a half-truth, Zhang Fan has indeed suffered that kind of sin, and it is indeed very uncomfortable, so this half of the true feelings revealed also convinced the others present immediately.
"What Master Taifu said is good, although Ziwei is a scholar, but if Ziwei is allowed to go to the battlefield like this, it is better to take it off and work hard with the Tartar than to suffer so much and be a turtle with a shrunken head," Zhang Siwei also looked apprehensive, and said, "But it was a drill at the time, since the military order is like this, there is no way to do it, and besides, my uncle has explained that he must treat everyone equally, so Ziwei is no exception, but he is just dressed, and he has to run more than 20 miles. And it was at this time of year, in fact, I didn't even run a mile, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only walk step by step.
"However, there was an order that day, and the last five people to come back should ...... To brush the whole camp for five days...... "Speaking of this, Zhang Siwei's face turned red again.
However, although Zhang Siwei was shy, but this time, everyone present understood why he looked so embarrassed just now, indeed, let a scholar, who is also an official of the imperial court and the chief steward of the Zhan Mansion, go to the toilet, this is really ...... Don't talk about Zhang Siwei himself, I'm afraid that if someone else says it, he may not be able to say it.
And Zhang Fan was on the side, he was funny, curious, and daring to love this kind of thing, he didn't encounter it once or twice, but what made him even more puzzled was that there was really ...... in this army There are only three kinds of punishment for people, either to increase the practice, or not to eat, or, to clean the toilet, and sometimes there are two or three kinds of people who do it at the same time, but no matter how you change, you can't get rid of these three things.
And Feng Bao was stunned on the spot when he heard Zhang Siwei's words, to be honest, even just now, Zhang Siwei said that he had evidence that could prove his innocence, but although Feng Bao was flustered, he didn't have too much to worry about, but now, when Zhang Siwei said this, it was ......
"Is it difficult to say......" Liu Siwen, who was sitting on it, also looked surprised, "In those days, Master Zhang was in ...... It's not possible to brush the toilet in Lord Wang's army,"
"Well," he replied embarrassedly, Zhang Siwei nodded, and then his face turned into a very apprehensive look, and said, "I brushed the toilet for five days in a row.
"But the general didn't know what nerves he had, and his uncle had strictly ordered him to come over and treat everyone equally in the army, but he ...... Maybe he saw me...... First, Lord Wang is my uncle; Second, after all, I am an official of the imperial court, and originally, I can't escape this no matter what, but he actually hesitated," Zhang Siwei said this, with a gritted tooth on his face.
"And...... Coincidentally, you said this kind of thing, hesitate for a while, and forget it, but still put it for so long, but before he could speak, my uncle inspected it, and when I asked, my uncle thought that I was too punished too much, and wanted to escape, so he added a heavy punishment, so that I was not allowed to eat for a day, and I had to brush the toilet for five days in a row, and I had to wear armor all the time for five days, and not only that, but several other people, but also added that general, to be punished with me, and my uncle was afraid that I would be lazy, and my uncle took two more people over, The six of us took turns staring at each other until we finished cleaning the toilet on the fifth day, which is true,"
Although Zhang Siwei had an expression that he didn't want to say it very much, he still added such a sentence at the end, obviously, this is the reaction of normal people, anyway, such embarrassing things have already been said, even if they are going to be laughed at, it is inevitable, since this is the case, then it is necessary to make what you say have value.
And Zhang Siwei's words actually made many people present want to laugh, after all, a court official, and also the chief steward of Zhan Shifu, is a person who deals with those princes and nobles, royal relatives and relatives all day long, and is also literary and elegant, rich and rich in five cars, such a character, wearing dozens of pounds of armor, in this midsummer weather, brushing the toilet for five days in a row, and even resting has to be watched.
There's no way to stop laughing.
But after laughing, many people became serious, and regardless of whether what Zhang Siwei said was true or not, but with the understanding of Wang Chonggu among the people present, he should really be able to do this kind of thing, you know, once it comes to military affairs, Wang Chonggu can be said to be denied by his six relatives, and sometimes, he can even do something that "will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected".
In comparison, letting his own nephew clean the toilet for five days in a row is really too small to be a small thing.
But in this way, things have taken a turn for the better, if what Zhang Siwei said is really true, then obviously, now all the suspicions or suspicions about him have all disappeared, since he has been with the toilet for five days, then he has no chance to know about the flood, even if he knows, but he has no time to write a letter, after all, in the past five days, there are people around him watching.
Of course, there may be omissions in the people who look at him, but it is still possible if this is a different person, but here in Wang Chonggu, it will definitely not, Wang Chonggu was rumored in the court, not only his temper and attitude, but also a lot of his things, and many people can be sure that it is true.
It is absolutely impossible for Wang Chonggu to allow this to happen in the army, since he has made a mistake, he will be punished, if he is even lazy in punishment, what effect will it have.
In the early years, when Wang Chonggu did this for the first time, there were still people who did not believe in evil, and as a result, under the disposal of military law, that is, the matter of moving their heads, so many years have passed, all of Wang Chonggu's subordinates are obedient, Wang Chonggu asked them to go east, and they did not dare to go west.
Naturally, Wang Chonggu asked people to look at Zhang Siwei and a few of them, except for blinking, their eyes were not allowed to leave their bodies for a moment, so it was definitely like this.
And in this way, Feng Bao's face really can't change back to its original appearance this time.
