Chapter 174: Taiyuan Wang Ruiyue
"What am I talking about? This is a misunderstanding, how can Quanzhou not drive Zhang Zirui's disappearance, how can it be related to Wu An's pacification envoy? ”
Hou Sizhi wished that this matter would be over earlier, but now when he saw that Wu Sanzhong had almost picked himself up, he couldn't help but help, and said impatiently: "Cui Yushi, this official knows that you are young and energetic, and you always want to make a big case, and your name will move Chang'an!" But you have to find the evidence, don't you? You are Lingnan Cui Qingtian, and you must be an expert in investigating cases. The official hasn't read any books, so he won't mix with each other, and he'll be happy! ”
With that, he got up and wanted to leave.
Wu Sanzhong saw that Hou Sizhi deliberately helped him, and his heart was beautiful, so he immediately picked up the big bargain and climbed down the pole, got up from his seat, and said with a calm face: "Cui Yushi, this official knows that you don't deal with me!" But you can't frame the court officials, can you? The investigation of the case focuses on the conclusive evidence, not on the illusion, on speculation! Young man...... Alas, since Hou Yushi is leaving, the official will not stay. You Cui Erlang can check how you like, and Wu is still not waiting. ”
Broken!
Cui Geng realized that he was impulsive and was used by Hou Sizhi.
Originally, according to Zhou Xing's analysis, Hou Sizhi's grandson came to Lingnan for refuge, and he didn't want to find out the case so quickly. Now that he has the opportunity to stand idly by and even make peace with the mud, of course he wants to push the boat along the river to help Wu Sanzhong.
Cui Geng hurriedly got up to stop him, and said, "Hou Yushi, go slowly, there are still ...... under the official"
Hou Sizhi had made up his mind at this time, worried that Cui Geng would have any other tricks, so he forcibly interrupted: "Huh? Could it be that you are a small political envoy of Lingnan Province, and you still want to keep your own official? ”
"Xia Guan naturally doesn't dare!"
"If you don't dare, get out!"
"I ......"
The surnamed Hou insisted on playing a scoundrel, and Cui Geng really had no good way at the moment, so he could only turn sideways and avoid the past.
Wu Sanzhong finally won back a city, grinning to the back of his head as if he was proud, and gloated: "The surname is Cui, let your dog meddle with a mouse, do you regret it this time?" Hmph, Hou Yushi is also the deposed envoy of Lingnan Dao, you offended him, hehe, I'm afraid you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it will be difficult to protect yourself! ”
Then, Hou Si stopped in front, Wu Sanzhong followed, and walked forward quickly, about to walk out of the second hall.
Seeing that the situation is irreversible!
Zhang Zirui's widow Wang Ruiyue is in a hurry, and now she doesn't know whether her husband is dead or alive, how can this matter be so unresolved?
At the moment, she couldn't care about the woman's reserve, ran a few steps and blocked the door, opened her arms wide, and stopped: "Hou Yushi go slowly, my husband is the nephew of the late Prime Minister Zhang Da'an, the door is Qinghua, can't just disappear so inexplicably, and ask Hou Yushi to preside over justice for the concubine!" ”
"Huh? The late Prime Minister Zhang Da'an? ”
Although Hou Sizhi does not learn and has no skills, since he became a servant of the imperial history, he specially invited someone to explain the history of the court for himself, and he still knows something about the prime minister ten years ago.
He looked Wang Ruiyue up and down and asked, "Zhang Zirui is from the Zhang family in Weizhou?" Mrs. Wang's surname is Wang, and she can marry into the Zhang family in Weizhou and marry the nephew of the late Zhang Xiangye, I'm afraid the identity is not simple, right? ”
Wang Ruiyue nodded hurriedly and said: "The concubine is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, if Hou Yushi can find out the whereabouts of her husband, whether the Taiyuan Wang family or the Weizhou Zhang family, you will remember Hou Yushi's favor, and there will be a report in the future." ”
Not?
How can this Zhang Zirui and his wife come from like this?
Hou Sizhi's attitude suddenly changed greatly, swept away the previous gloomy face, and said with a pleasant face: "What kind of people are not humane, don't you see outside?" I didn't expect Mrs. to be born with five surnames and seven hopes, which is really disrespectful and disrespectful. There are many rudenesses in Fang Cai, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”
The last sentence was not a polite remark, he actually gave a deep salute.
Seeing this, Wang Ruiyue hurriedly staggered a step, and said slightly: "Don't dare to be a concubine, then my husband's business ......"
"The venerable husband disappeared in Guangzhou City for no reason, of course we have to find out, in fact, the official just said angry words, Mrs. Don't go to your heart!"
After a pause, Hou Sizhi put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and said loudly: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, the dignified six-grade court official is missing, where is the duty of this official, how can he care?" ”
When Wang Ruiyue reported to their couple's home, the performance of everyone in the field was no better than Hou Sizhi.
Even Wu Sanzhong, who prides himself on being a relative of the emperor every day, was stunned at this time, as if he was confused.
As for Liang Bo, he looked even more panicked, his eyes dodged, and he didn't know where to look to be at ease.
As for Cui Geng, how could he not be familiar with the five surnames and seven hopes of the Tang family?
When he first met Wang Ruiyue before, the other party was only thirty years old, but he was already a wife, pampered and well-maintained, with a dignified temperament and beautiful appearance, in his opinion, she was a standard light mature ~ woman. For a young man like him who is full of hormones ~ Ers, this kind of light mature ~ woman is very lethal!
At that time, he felt that the other party had a rare temperament, which was difficult to cultivate in ordinary large families, and he was also wondering if Wang Ruiyue was from a great family. But later, after he and Wang Ruiyue became acquainted, he knew that the other party was not Zhang Zirui's original partner, but a continuation of the string, so he dispelled this suspicion.
The reason is very simple, how could a daughter from a family with five surnames and seven wangs marry a little Quanzhou Don't be Mrs. Xuxian?
He Zhang Zirui is not the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the five surnames and Qiwang are now so awesome existences, how can he do such a thing that insults the reputation of the Wang clan?
Now I heard Wang Ruiyue say in front of the court, his unlucky husband turned out to be the nephew of the late Prime Minister Zhang Da'an.
No wonder!
I also blame myself for not asking the truth before.
Just when Cui Geng was secretly pondering, he saw Hou Sizhi turn around and turn his head, and said to him: "Cui Yushi, although the pawnshop shopkeeper said just now that he couldn't find the monk who pledged the jade pendant. However, after Quanzhou didn't drive Zhang Zirui to Guangzhou City, he personally visited the Wu pacification envoy, but the Wu pacification envoy lied to Mrs. Zhang that he had never seen his husband, which was one of the suspicions. In addition, the Wu pacification envoy also sent Liang Bo, the commander of Guoyi, to find Mrs. Wang, wanting to have the intention of forcibly taking him captive, which is the second suspicion. Therefore, this official thinks that Wu An's envoy is very suspicious! Cui Yushi, what do you think? ”
Cui Geng was funny in his heart, fuck, you are really fast enough to turn your face! Don't you understand? Why didn't you just say it? As soon as I heard that people were born with five surnames and seven hopes, I said it, and sure enough, I saw that the wind made the rudder a little expert!
Hey? Isn't that right?
Cui Geng thought about it again, and felt that Hou Sizhi's reaction to hearing Wang Ruiyue's self-reported home was a little incomprehensible!
Five surnames and seven wangs, that is the nobles of the nobles, the clear stream of the clear stream, Hou Sizhi is a notorious cool official and speculative drill camper, what good is it to tie them up?
I'm afraid that in the eyes of the five surnames and seven families, a fortunate minister like Hou Sizhi is like a piece of stinky shit. It's too late to draw the line, so how can you take the initiative to provoke?
With Hou Sizhi's knowledge, he won't even be unable to see this clearly, right?
Of course, no matter how suspicious he is, at least Hou Sizhi's reaction and attitude are still happy, at least it shows that this case can continue to be investigated.
Then he nodded, smiled and patted a sycophant, and said: "Hou Yushi's eyes are like torches, and the suspicion of Wu An's pacification is indeed not small. ”
"Then judging from Cui Yushi, where should this case start?"
"Uh......" Cui Geng pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we check the mansion of the Wu pacification envoy first?" ”
"Why?"
After Wu Sanzhong was stunned by the sudden reversal, he quickly reacted, and when he heard that his mansion was going to be searched, he stopped doing it on the spot, and said angrily: "This official is the emperor...... That, the official of the Sipin Imperial Court, the dignified Lingnan Dao pacification envoy, relying on some speculation without any evidence, you want to search my mansion? ”
"What if there is evidence?"
Suddenly, Ouyang Yan, a female prisoner who had been kneeling on the ground and watching the changes in the public court, spoke up and said: "The concubine can testify that Wu Sanzhong did kill Zhang Zirui, and buried his body in the pacification envoy yamen, which he personally told the concubine." ”
Wu Sanzhong's eyes were about to crack for a moment, and he roared hysterically: "! Do you dare to frame this official? ”
Ouyang Yan also stared at Wu Sanzhong with resentful eyes, and said coldly: "The surname Wu, Shao Chong aunt and grandmother play prestige, if you weren't in Guangzhou City, how could your aunt and grandmother marry you, a half-bad old man, and suffer from widowhood every day?" I wish you died, if you don't die, even if Brother Zhongshun and I steal and elope, we will not die, but it is a dead end when we go out of this Nanhai County Ya, and it will be difficult to escape your poisonous hands! ”
Yo, Cui Geng listened to Ouyang Yan's words, and couldn't help but glance at this woman, I didn't expect this concubine Wu Sanzhong to be quite smart, indeed, stealing and eloping is not to death, but as long as they don't die, Wu Sanzhong's temperament of retribution, there are definitely a thousand ways for them to get out of Guangzhou City alive.
What a lack of something!
In fact, what he suggested just now to search Wu Sanzhong's house was just a smooth word, and it was difficult to put it into action.
The reason is very simple, Wu Sanzhong's position is the pacification envoy of Lingnan Province, which is qualified to mobilize the army.
And what about him and Hou Sizhi? A political envoy and a deposed envoy have no military power in their hands.
As long as Wu Sanzhong insists on not agreeing to them to search the Wu Mansion, Cui Geng and Hou Sizhi naturally can't move strongly, and only by asking the imperial court to come to the Holy Decree can they have the qualifications to search the Mansion. However, based on this little bit of evidence on the table alone, it is basically speculation, how could the imperial court order permission to search the mansion of a pacification envoy? Especially Cui Geng, they are doing this because they are committing the following crimes, the bigwigs are very sensitive, okay?
But now it's different, with the confession and testimony of Ouyang Yan, the concubine of the martial arts, the result is completely different - you, Wu Sanzhong, even testified against your own concubine, the suspicion is not big enough? Dare to resist a search? Isn't that three hundred taels of silver here?
At this time, as long as they take advantage of the situation, the power of Cui Geng and Hou Sizhi to unite is still very great, and the commanders of the Lingnan Provincial Prefecture who hold the government soldiers may not listen to Wu Sanzhong's orders.
Both sides understood this truth, Wu Sanzhong was stunned because he didn't expect to testify against him on the spot, and it was actually the concubine he came to Xinna, Guangzhou City!
She was the one who cuckolded him!
Now it's still her who helps his political enemies testify against him!
This cheap woman, didn't break your body into thousands of pieces, it is difficult to vent the hatred in my heart!
But hate for hate, he had to agree hard: "Okay, you can search it." However, I would like to remind you that if I can't find any evidence, I will impeach you for bending the law for personal gain! ”
Who knew that this cruel sentence did not scare Cui Geng, let alone Hou Sizhi, who is now bent on forming a good relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family in the five surnames and seven hopes.
I only heard Hou Sizhi sneer, twitching the corners of his mouth and sneering: "Impeachment? Hehe, the impeachment of Hou someone, there are high-ranking officials and noble relatives, and there are dozens of people above the third grade, how old are you?! ”
Subsequently, Hou Sizhi took his subordinates very efficiently, together with Cui Geng, and went straight to the Yamen of Wu to pacify the envoy and began to search.
Cui Geng's soldiers were okay, and they didn't dare to make a mistake without a clear order.
But Hou Sizhi's subordinates are very unbearable, most of them are rogue children of Chang'an. Isn't following this notorious cool official just trying to be arrogant and make a fortune?
Immediately, the sound of "ping-pong" was endless, and the gold and silver utensils that pacified the yamen were swept away.
With Wu Sansi's miserly temperament, his liver trembled with anger on the spot, and he scolded angrily: "You are simply a bunch of bandits, lawless!" Wild! I...... I won't go to the bullet stamp, I will personally go to Your Majesty to sue you! This official doesn't believe it, we have a big week, and there is no place to reason. ”
Hou Sizhi and Cui Geng haven't spoken yet, and now Ouyang Yan, who has turned into a tainted witness, laughed loudly: "Go to Chang'an to sue the emperor? You, Wu Sanzhong, have such a wronged day? I don't know if you went in a sedan chair or in a prisoner's car? Hmph, there are so many forbidden things in your house, it is a capital crime to catch them, and you dare to threaten Hou Yushi? It's true that the cow doesn't know the horns, and the horse doesn't know the length of the face. ”
"Alas!"
Cui Geng and Hou Sizhi also had a good heart, and they glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of disappointment.
They understood what Ouyang Yan said just now, what he said with his own ears to hear what Wu Sanzhong said, it was all made up, in order to let everyone search for prohibited utensils, so that Wu Sanzhong could not escape the law.
The reason she herself has just said, she and the adulterer Zhuang Zhongshun are not guilty of stealing and eloping, but Wu Sanzhong is not dead, and they will definitely not escape death!
But how can it be that simple?
I only heard Wu Sanzhong sneer: "Isn't it just some forbidden artifacts?" What's the big deal? Hehe, although the two imperial histories report to me, the official wants to see if the court will punish me? Maybe Your Majesty will be gracious and let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors?! ”
Ouyang Yan observed the words and looks, and knew that he wanted to be left, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word anymore.
There were so many people who worked so well that it didn't take an hour to search the pacifying envoys, and they found nothing except a large number of illegal utensils.
Cui Geng and Hou Sizhi are out of line now, and after saying a few words, they ignored Wu Sanzhong's threat and walked to the door.
At this moment, a tall and pretty girl walked in, holding a tray with several bowls of tea soup on it, and it seemed that she was going to change the tea for everyone.
Hey?
Isn't that Haruka? Why did she appear in Wu Sanzhong's mansion again?
Cui Geng suddenly stopped, puzzled.
Wu Sanzhong lost a large amount of property, and at this time his heart was dripping with blood, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai: "Who let you in?" The official's tea is not blown by the wind, it is drunk by close friends, how can it be fed to a gang of bandits? ”
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Chunxiang seemed to be frightened, nodded again and again, turned around and left, panicked and crashed into Cui Geng's body.
Crash~~
Suddenly, the tray tilted, and several bowls of tea soup were all spilled on Cui Geng and Hou Sizhi's bodies.
The tea in the Tang Dynasty was different from that of later generations, not because it was clear tea, but with various condiments. The official uniforms of the two were suddenly colorful and full of miscellaneous items.
Seeing that they were unlucky, Wu Sanzhong was a little angry, and happily sneered: "Chunxiang, how do you work?" Why did you stain the clothes of the two imperial historians? What a system! Go, go to the tent and get the second ...... Ten dollars, the lord will reward you! Hahaha......"
Where is this maid doing something wrong and scolding the maid?
Is it clear that you are praising her for doing a good job?
Hou Sizhi was used to being arrogant in Chang'an, and at this time, he went to Wufu in vain, and was despised and ridiculed by Wu Sanzhong, where could he stand this anger? immediately scolded: "Twenty dollars? When rewarded? Wu Sanzhong, you are also a little bit of a good person, you don't miss the urine sex, you deserve to be a cuckold! Ouyang Niang, this green hat, you did a good job! ”
After scolding, Hou Sizhi didn't forget Ouyang Yan, who was unstoppable, and gave a thumbs up in a grand manner!
Anyway, the two of them had already torn their faces, and Wu Sanzhong also let go, sneering and sarcastically: "This official loves the people like a son, and his sleeves are clean, of course he can't be as big as Hou Dayushi." Who are you, it is said that before becoming an official, you were a big businessman, by the way, you started by selling cakes, yes or no? That's a lot of money! ”
"You...... You wild seed, you don't even know whose dad it is! You don't die anymore! "Okay, Hou Sizhi also poked Wu Sanzhong's old wound, this wound is very painful, very painful......
"You alley slave, you make cattle and horses for people. Hou Sizhi, you framed and framed it, a hundred years of cool officials, you can't die well! ”
……
As the saying goes, you don't slap people in the face, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people.
The two of them exposed each other's shortcomings, and suddenly their faces were red, their ears were red, and the stars were flying sideways, rolling their arms and sleeves, and almost making a move.
At this time, Cui Geng secretly opened the note that Chunxiang secretly handed to him when he was splashing the tea soup: The mezzanine in the seventh lady's room is tightly defended, and it is difficult for the slave family to get close, so she should get something.
