Chapter 188 Showing Weakness to the Enemy
The play was played, and several songs were sung, and the show in the West Garden came to an end, Zhao Zongdan got together, and everyone stood up.
Zhao Zongdan laughed and said, "Everyone, how did you listen to this miscellaneous drama and little song today?" ”
"The aftermath lingers, and I don't know the taste of meat for three days."
"It's a fairy sound, and it's a pleasure to enjoy."
"This song should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world, thank you for letting me wait for a long time."
“……”
Everyone was gossiping, Zhao Zongdan smiled and nodded: "That's good, I'm afraid of polluting your hearing, whether it's today's play, the voice of the Chen family who sings the song is also incomparable, and the words are the pinnacle, and this king is also very satisfied." ”
Tang Jie said playfully: "The most rare thing is that the prince's music score is good, delicate but not charming, sweet but not greasy, five-tone rotation, and easy to play, which is the most shining place today." ”
Everyone echoed and praised, and at the same time regretted in their hearts, such a first-class flattery opportunity was actually snatched away, which was really unforgivable to themselves.
Zhao Zongdan slowly walked towards the back, and said in his mouth: "The song of banter, I laughed at all the Fang family, but it is this great talent who writes lyrics, this king wants to introduce you and others." ”
Everyone applauded, his neck was like a sunflower writhing with Zhao Zongdan's figure, Zhao Zongdan slowly came to Su Jin, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this one is the right talent Chen everyone sang, Su Jin Su Gongzi, the author of "Queqiao Immortal" composed by this king, you can't think of it, talented young people, Su Gongzi is only sixteen this year, you adults have a delicate girl in the boudoir to be in the boudoir, don't miss this good opportunity, so it is rare to be a fast son-in-law." ”
King Teng's words seemed to be false and true, like a joke, and like a call, which caused everyone to laugh and talk.
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: This is to entertain Lao Tzu, what good girls can be born in the family of these turtle bastards, if you really mean it, then the princess is also smart, why don't you send me to be a girl who warms the bed.
The little official who sat beside him and pointed out that Su Jin was listening to the music and sleeping was about to dislocate, and pointed at Su Jin and said, "It turns out that you are the author of "Queqiao Immortal", no wonder...... No wonder you find it boring to sleep anymore. ”
King Teng was surprised: "Oh? Su Gongzi actually fell asleep, it seems that he is not satisfied with the arrangement of this king, and the music composed by this king seems to be unable to enter Su Gongzi's ears. ”
Su Jin secretly scolded the official for revealing his old bottom in person, and hurriedly said: "The prince is wronged, he is just squinting and enjoying it, this adult may think that I am asleep with my eyes closed, the prince must not take it seriously." ”
The official also reacted, he didn't want to make the prince unhappy, on the day of the big day, the prince was furious, and everyone would blame him for his careless words, so although he knew that Su Jin was lying, he had to help him lie.
The vast majority of people don't know Su Jin at all, and they have explored where this Su Gongzi came from, naturally there are good people who quietly explain Su Jin's origin, when they heard that Su Jin is a small businessman in Luzhou, the crowd let out a snickering laugh, obviously disdainful of Su Jin's background, everyone agreed that the prince is just doing the appearance of being a corporal of Lixian, who will make friends with a businessman, even if his lyrics are written well, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall.
Of course, Su Jin could hear these discussions, and he could also feel everyone's contemptuous eyes, but these were not worth paying attention to Su Jin at all; All of Su Jin's senses were concentrated on the two people, one of them was short and strong, with vicious eyes, Su Jin's mind suddenly flashed, and from those eyes, Su Jin recognized him.
This person is the little leader named Xiaohu who came in front of him that night and wanted to restrain himself to death, if it weren't for Zhu Lezi's brother who didn't listen to his orders that day, otherwise, he would definitely not be lucky that night.
At this moment, seeing him covering his mouth with his hand and whispering something to an old man in green clothes and black beard beside him, the old man kept nodding, but his eyes never left Su Jin, patrolling up and down on him, Su Jin felt the unkindness in his eyes, and thought about it carefully, but he didn't know this person at all.
All this came into Zhao Zongdan's eyes, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Zongdan's eyes, and then he reached out to hold Su Jin's arm and said: "Su Gongzi, this king is just joking with you, come on, come on, follow this king to the hall for tea, this king also wants to ask for some things in poetry." ”
Su Jin can't wait any longer, he has to take the initiative to attack, Xiao Hu is here, the seventh master must be here, Mr. Qin's hostility is already obvious, this Teng Wang Ye is obviously pretending to be stupid, he doesn't take the initiative at the moment, in case these people are in trouble, he will immediately fall into passivity.
"Lord Wang, there is something in my throat below, and I want to report it to the prince." Su Jin said softly.
"Oh? Whatever the king can do, he will solve your troubles and problems. Zhao Zongdan seemed to be a little surprised.
"Can you take a step to speak, there are many people here, and I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble if I say it."
"What's so mysterious, it's okay, come to my study to talk." Zhao Zongdan turned to you and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king got up early today, he is a little dizzy at the moment, and go to the inner room to rest for a while, you can follow Mr. Qin and the housekeeper in my house to walk around at will, there are also a few scenery in my house that are worth seeing, you go to take a look first, and this king will return later." ”
"The prince's health is important, please take care of yourself." Everyone bowed their hands.
King Teng turned around with a smile and hurriedly left through the round gate of the path, Su Jin hurriedly kept his distance and followed King Teng, Mr. Qin glanced at Qiye and Xiao Hu, and the two also pretended to chat, chasing Su Jin's back.
In the study, Su Jin respectfully took out the confession written by Zhu Lezi from his arms and handed it over, Zhao Zongdan took it with one hand and squinted his eyes.
Su Jin saw that his face was becoming more and more gloomy, and he had already been mentally prepared in his heart, King Teng may have known the whole process of the whole thing, but he must not have known about this confession; I didn't say it, and of course Zhu Lezi wouldn't say it.
Su Jin can fully imagine Zhao Zongdan's mood at the moment, his subordinates actually dare to leave such evidence, although this testimony does not mention others, Zhu Lezi took a big package to take revenge on himself for breaking into the wrong house and killing the four masters and servants.
Even the reason for the conflict with Su Jin did not mention the matter of the plate fee of half a word, but said that he went to the dim sum shop of Lao Jiang and his wife to eat white food, which caused a dispute.
When Zhu Lezi wrote this reason, Su Jin also had a dispute with him, but Zhu Lezi insisted on not writing a dispute over charging plate fees, and Su Jin just wanted to hold Zhu Lezi's handle at that time, so he didn't insist; Unexpectedly, this move turned out to be a great deal, Su Jin could pretend that he didn't know about the so-called plate fee, and characterize the matter as just a simple fight.
Zhao Zongdan's anger in his heart was incomprehensible, this Zhu Lezi was so stupid as to leave a handwritten note, this matter can be big or small, once it falls into the hands of an official who will not let go, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhu Lezi will not open his mouth and explain it under the punishment, although his roots are dense, and it is not so easy to bring down himself, but compared with that person, his own strength is still too thin, and the hasty response is slightly inappropriate, and the situation of painstaking management for several years may be ruined.
The main strategy that should be adopted at present is to destroy the embankment by ants and the rats lose their food.
"What's going on? Who is this Zhu Leper? How dare you kill someone and set fire? How did you get it? "Acting in a full set, King Teng had to pretend to be confused at the moment and pretend to ask.
Su Jin was also very cooperative to tell the ins and outs of the matter, of course, the reason for his injustice Su Jin said vaguely, only said that passing by the store, seeing Zhu Lezi and others eating white food, they beat the shopkeeper, and they were so angry that they ordered the servants to come to the rescue, but they didn't expect it to bring such bad consequences.
Zhao Zongdan paced a few steps with his hands in his hand, then turned his head and asked, "Then what is the intention of Su Gongzi to hand over this note to this king?" ”
Su Jin straightened his voice and said: "Wang Ye Mingjian, in the next grass people, I didn't expect to get into such a big trouble out of thin air, I just adhered to the heart of humanity and saved people in danger, but I didn't expect to provoke such a vicious person, and four lives died because of this, if it weren't for the desperate maintenance of the servants in my house, and the chance to take this bandit leader and force him to write down the note, that night would definitely not be spared." ”
"But after thinking about it, it was really stupid to do this, holding this note was actually getting a talisman for himself, then Zhu Lezi would definitely take the opportunity to retrieve this note, but he and his family would definitely not be lucky; Thinking about it, in Yingtianfu, only the prince can properly solve this matter for his subordinates, so he came to ask the prince for help, the prince has his hands and eyes to the sky, if the prince helps, this matter will definitely be settled; I don't want anything in the future, I just want to be able to study and live in peace. ”
Zhao Zongdan tilted his head slightly, thought for a moment and said: "This matter is not difficult to do, just with this confession, this king can order someone to take the Zhu leper and send it to the government for questioning and beheading; It's just that this king is strange, why don't you report to the official on your own with this evidence? The government can also help you get rid of future troubles. ”
Su Jin arched his hand and said: "Don't blame the prince for being disrespectful to the government, he has also had such thoughts in the lower parts, but it is said that this Zhu leper is entrenched in the southern city, and he has been doing evil for several years, but he is actually a snake in the ground, and he has been safe and sound for so many years, and there must be a lot of deep-rooted roads; I was afraid that he also had fox friends and dog friends in the official mansion, and once I reported to the official, the rumors leaked, and when I sent someone to take him, he had already escaped without a trace, and he would not incur more retaliation afterwards, so he did not dare to report to the official. ”
Zhao Zongdan smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful, it is rare that you trust this king so much, this matter will be done for you, and it will solve your worries." ”
Su Jin hurriedly saluted and said: "The prince is very gracious and virtuous, and it is unforgettable in the future, but the prince will be sent in the future, as long as he can do it, he will go to the soup and go to the fire in the next place." ”
Zhao Zongdan smiled and said: "What can I do with you, unless it's just to ask for poetry and articles." Besides, this king is not for you Su Jin, my great Song Ming lord is in the court, the world is clear, I didn't expect that there are snakes and rats doing evil under the nose of this king, I don't know, if you know, how can you stand up, you can listen to it with peace of mind, there will be a division in a few days. ”
Su Jin laughed dryly twice, and said in his heart: You are righteous and strict, let you be proud first, Lao Tzu's arms can't twist his thighs this time, and after reading it, I don't believe that I Su Jin can't make a name for himself.
