Chapter 566: Aftermath
The Son of Heaven simply said that Liu Lan not only escaped from the battle, but also attacked the county and even killed the county lieutenant of Jiangyi County, and when he talked about this, he gritted his teeth even more, they were all people who often followed the Son of Heaven, and naturally knew that the Son of Heaven was really angry this time, otherwise it would not be so, but because of this, the two of them could not let the Son of Heaven suppress Liu Lan: "Holy Lord, this matter is very important, and it must be investigated in detail." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to the old slave, and I will definitely give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation." Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo sang and begged in harmony, they both knew the temper of the Son of Heaven, and they didn't care about it when they were angry, and afterwards, they might regret it, but it was too late, Chrysostom Yuyan, so the two begged for help, saying that they couldn't let the Son of Heaven convict Liu Lan, only in this way could they exonerate him.
"Investigation, investigation, I Tiger Ben investigated the clear news, what else to investigate!" The Spirit Emperor roared angrily.
The two did not raise their heads, and continued to beg, saying: "Holy Lord, Liu Lan is an official of the imperial court after all, and now there must be hidden secrets in the innocent attack on the county, and I hope that the Son of Heaven will investigate and deal with the truth, and give the ministers and others an explanation to the world." ”
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! What kind of genius am I! Emperor Ling was furious, grabbed the plain book he often read, smashed it under the imperial steps, and with a bang, the bamboo slips splashed everywhere, and the book slips were broken into several pieces by him.
The two people in the audience were motionless, and they didn't even dare to make a sound, so they knelt like that, and after a long time, the Son of Heaven calmed down a little, sighed, and said: "Since you want the truth, then good, I will give you the truth, and let Captain Sili (I didn't find it) to investigate." I see what you have to say. ”
"This ......" Zhao Zhong's heart sank to the bottom, he was thinking about his own investigation. In that way, no matter how big Liu Lan's crime is, it will be good to turn a big thing into a small thing for him. But Emperor Ling ordered the captain of Si Li, you must know that the former captain of Si Li was removed yesterday, if Guo Hong is still in front of the captain of Si Li, Zhao Zhong can rest assured, if it is the new one, this matter will be difficult to do, Zhao Zhong was just about to say more, Emperor Ling interrupted him angrily: "This matter is so decided, you two are not talking much." ”
The two were helpless. He could only shout His Majesty and be wise, and then Emperor Ling waved them to retreat, but at the moment of leaving, Emperor Ling said, "Mother, you wear many hats, I think this general will be dismissed first, right?" ”
Zhao Zhong trembled, he knew that this was a small warning given to him by Emperor Ling, telling him that it was best not to get too close to Liu Lan. Or to say that he doesn't like this Liu Lan, if you are helping him, towards him, then exempt. But it's not just the Che Rider General.
Coming out of the main hall, Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo separated and went straight to Zhang Rang's residence. By the time we arrived at our destination, it was already midnight. Although there is a curfew in Luoyang, the party concerned is Zhao Zhong, so it is not binding. Not only that, but he also had to protect the safety of Zhao Zhong all the way, and when he arrived at Wansui Street, he passed through several alleys and stopped in front of a mansion. Zhao Zhong turned over and dismounted, a little eunuch stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, the middle of the gate looked at the eyes and opened with a "squeak", a small servant from the gap in the eyes to visit, the wind lamp hung high outside the door, you can clearly see that the knocker is a child, not even asked, busy opened the door, bowed and waited for Zhao Zhong to enter the house, then closed the main door, greeted him, and led the way, while another porter quickly went to pass the housekeeper, the housekeeper greeted him after a while, and took Zhao Zhong to see Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong smiled: "Look at you like this, My old friend hasn't rested yet. ”
"It's rested, but the old slave has been waiting, and the master ordered early this morning that no matter when the general arrives, he must be brought to the council hall to meet."
Zhao Zhong bowed slightly, but the general inevitably pricked his nerves, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, but in the end, the anger was still strong, and it also depended on the master, not to mention that there was still a request for help now, he didn't speak, and walked towards the study with the housekeeper, in fact, with his familiarity with Zhang's mansion, even if there was no housekeeper to lead the way, he could find it, but this was too unruly, although the relationship between him and Zhang Rang did not say, wearing a pair of pants, one glory and one loss, but no matter when it was, the most feared internal gap appeared, Some things have to be paid more attention, otherwise they have internal contradictions, the unlucky one is still their own family, through the corridor, walked for a while before finally arrived at the conference hall, obviously Zhang Rang has heard that Zhao Zhong is coming, just the moment Zhao Zhong entered the courtyard, the lights in the conference hall were all lit, and immediately the hall became brightly lit like day.
Zhao Zhong just followed the housekeeper to the outside of the house, Zhang Rang opened the door of the house, through the light guò can see that Zhang Rang's white face is full of exhaustion, sleepy eyes, obviously just woke up, the hair bun is still messy, the clothes are not neat, obviously came in a hurry, if it is changed to those Confucian students who talk about etiquette, this must be a sign of slackness, but in Zhao Zhong's eyes, it can be seen that Zhang Rang attaches great importance to himself, so that he is very useful for a while: "Zhang Changzhi doesn't have to be like this, I'll wait for a while." ”
"How can you let Zhao Changzhi wait, hurry, come into the house." Zhang Rang greeted Zhao Zhong with a smile, and then signaled the housekeeper to keep an eye on it, don't let anyone approach, closed the door after speaking, the two entered the house, and exchanged a few words, Zhao Zhong was just about to say his intention, but he didn't want Zhang Rang to interrupt her and said: "Don't say it, listen to me first." ”
Saying that Zhang Rang took out a gold box from the case a few times, made of pure gold, Zhao Zhong was silent when he saw it, it was obvious that Zhang Rang was asking for him, smiled slightly, and had a plan, sure enough, Zhang Rang saw that Zhao Zhong was unmoved, so he smiled and said: "Today, Chun Yuqiong came to see me and inquired about the eighth captain of Beiyuan, this matter is all handled by Jian Shuo's kid, and he has to ask me to transfer this gold and jade to him, but how can I speak, I was going to refuse, but this kid didn't know where to find out that Brother Zhao and Jian Shuo have some friendship, The dead beggar kept begging me, and I couldn't shirk it, so I responded, Brother Zhao, this favor, you have to help me with anything. Zhang Rang said, but after pulling Zhao Zhong to turn to a screen, he saw that there was a big coral there, crystal clear, priceless, Zhao Zhong was dumbfounded, Zhang Rang peeked at it, knowing that there was a chance that this thing could be done, and said: "Chun Yuqiong and I have some friendship, since I have spoken, I can't help him, but I also know that this matter can't let Brother Zhao be busy in vain, this is not today an old friend from South Vietnam sent such a coral, the old man will recognize five baht in his life, There is no research on gold, jade, and coral, Brother Zhao, you come to see how this color is, if it is good, take it, or stay with the old man, but it will be really tyrannical.
