Chapter Twenty-Six: Accompany to the End
The matter of Guozijian is not big, it is not small to say that it is small, Jingshi is not as good as other places, and it is a big thing to have a little wind and grass, not to mention that this matter involves Jinyiwei and Guozijian?
The market has long been talking about it, but it is only for relish, and the major mansions in the capital are still silent, and when it comes to anything that involves the national eunuch or the cabinet, the cabinet officials will inevitably have some scruples. So as long as no one closes the coffin, there will be no one rushing to make noise for the time being.
Early in the morning, when the rain of late spring was falling again, Wen went to the old lady's lodgings as usual to say hello, and then a personal servant held an umbrella and carried him to the porter, where a black-covered carriage had been waiting for a long time.
Wen Zheng got into the car with a blushing face, last night, he had an urge to call Liu Chengfeng over, but after hesitating for a moment in the study, he finally held back. Wen Zheng had a hunch that yesterday's incident would not end so simply, Liu Zhongxia was not his gentle person, and the outcome of the matter might exceed Wen Zheng's expectations.
However, when the sky fell, Wen Zheng also had the bearing of not changing his face, and he had already learned the intrigue in the guard, a very small thing could cause turbulence, and several common acquaintances and affairs in the Jinyi Guard could be involved.
Wen Zheng, who was sitting steadily in the carriage, thought of this, and couldn't help but sigh, speaking of which, the fundamental reason why the guard has reached the point of division is that the commander of the past generations is mostly brave and ruthless people, and life and death are cut between clouds and rain. It is precisely because of the iron fist of the commander that the guard is united, even if there is occasional dirtiness, it is within the controllable range.
However, the current commander is an honest man, and it is precisely because he is too honest that the contradictions between you and your fellow acquaintances continue to expand, and everyone goes their own way and attacks each other, so that sometimes, because of the control of a street between a thousand households, it may cause a shock to the entire guard. It was just that the commander ignored and didn't say anything, even if the lawsuit hit him, the lord didn't reward and punish, but went to make peace with the mud, and the final result was that the prestige of the commander was getting lower and lower, and the crack under his head was getting bigger and bigger.
Wen Zheng closed his eyes, as if he had a premonition that a new earthquake was coming.
When he arrived at the Yamen of Fusi in Nanzhen, Wen strode into the main hall as usual, and just sat down, the old priest came with a pile of cases, and today his face was very solemn, bowed down and stood on Wen Zheng's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Liu Zhongxia, a thousand households in the Inner West City, handed over a note. ”
Wen Zheng said lightly: "What? ”
"For the sake of yesterday's Guozijian incident, it was said that Liu Chengfeng, the captain of the school, was guilty, and asked Nanzhen Fusi to judge."
Here it comes......
Liu Zhongxia made it clear that he had refuted his face last time and robbed him of his place, and now he took the opportunity to kick Liu Chengfeng's tricky ball to his feet. But if he doesn't deal with it, he will be able to run and shout, saying that he is acting unfairly and shielding his son-in-law.
The mystery here is extremely subtle, on the surface, it is to clean up Liu Chengfeng, but it is to point at Wen Zheng and give Wen Zheng a dismount. And Liu Zhongxia is just a pawn on the table, who is behind Liu Zhongxia?
"Hmm......" Wen Zheng closed his eyes in contemplation, tapping his knuckles on the case, making a knocking sound.
The old priest said on the side: "Liu Zhongxia also released a rumor, saying that he was waiting for the response from the Fusi side of Nanzhen in the Qianhu Office, and if he committed the following crimes, according to the rules of our guard, he would be punished to death with a cane, if the adults did not give an explanation to the Neixi City Guard......"
"I see." Wen Zheng interrupted him, a faint coldness appeared on his face, and then said, "What do the other people in the guard say?" ”
"They didn't say anything, and when I came in the morning, they were talking about yesterday's events, and they were all talking about jokes. However, the old priest ......was silent for a while, and continued, "I'm afraid that the voice of the demand for severe punishment will be louder." ”
Wen Zheng's face didn't lift, and he said lightly: "Is there any movement in the commanding envoy?" ”
Speaking of the commander, the old priest showed a knowing smile and said lightly: "There is no movement at all, last night, the conductor invited the troupe to listen to the play as usual, and the third watch went to sleep, and he didn't go to the hall this morning." ”
Wen Zheng snorted and said, "Liu Zhongxia's note is archived, let's just say that it still needs to be considered, when the old man has thought it clearly, it is not too late to decide." ”
The so-called archiving is very clear to the old priest, that is, the master intends to suppress this matter, and he also tells this Liu Zhongxia that he wants to clean up Liu Chengfeng, but there is no door. As for when the Lord will remember this case, it will be about three days, about three months, that is, three years, thirty years, that is also a common thing.
The old priest hesitated for a moment and said, "What if Liu Zhongxia refuses to take a break and comes to calm down the division to make trouble?" ”
Wen Zheng's tone was cold, he raised his eyes and glanced at the old priest, and said with a muffled snort: "This is Nanzhen Fusi, and a small thousand households dare to come to make trouble?" If he comes to make trouble, take it down immediately, and the old man will kill him with a rod. Although the gentle tone was gentle, after this gentleness, it was sharp and murderous.
"Tell me to go down, send a team of our wrestlers from Nanfu to Neixi City to inspect it properly, take a few illegal hundred households and general flags back, and entertain them well." Wen Zheng's eyebrows jumped quietly, full of coldness, and continued: "If you encounter a vicious one, kill a few, don't have any taboos." ”
The old priest smiled quietly, understood what Wen Zheng meant, bowed down and said, "The villain understands, so I'll explain it." ”
The old priest walked out quickly, and Wen Zheng sat alone in this hall, took a slow sip of tea, and then leaned on the back cushion of the bench and leisurely closed his eyes. Liu Chengfeng's matter is no longer a family matter, although Wen Zheng looks down on this son-in-law a little, but when the matter is in the guard, he will never stand idly by, as for that Liu Zhongxia, he wants to make things bigger, Wen Zheng of course has to accompany him to the end, the same as the court, the matter of intrigue is not much to say, if Wen Zheng takes a step back today and cleans up his son-in-law to compromise, in the end it will only fall down and the macaque will scatter, so that the people below will be chilled.
"Do you want to play? Then the old man will accompany him to the end! I'm afraid that a Liu Zhongxia can't afford it. Wen Zheng smiled coldly, cheered up after a nap, and started to work.
………………………………………………
Early in the morning, Nanzhen Fu Si Lux poured out, a team of people appeared in the inner west city, these fast horses like a plague of wrestlers set out around, half an hour, then took a hundred households, three general flags, and then escorted these people to swagger through the city, arrogant to the extreme, indirectly to the face of the thousand households, frightened that the captain of the inner west city who was guarding outside did not dare to come out, and hurriedly went in to report.
In the center of this whirlpool, Liu Chengfeng went to the guard early in the morning to ask for an injury leave, that Liu Zhongxia did not see, but the Wang priest showed a strange expression when he saw Liu Chengfeng, and his attitude towards him was not cold, but he was definitely not enthusiastic, I heard that Liu Chengfeng was going to ask for injury leave, and he was not embarrassed, and he was indirectly approved, and said to Liu Chengfeng at the end: "Brother, why bother to make such a big fuss, so that the whole guard is panicked now, hey......" Wang Si sighed, felt that what he said to Liu Chengfeng was a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly silenced him.
Liu Chengfeng glanced at the Wang priest with a smile, and didn't say anything, came out of the signing room, rested for a night, his complexion was much better than yesterday, and he came to take leave today not to recuperate from his injury, but to plan to go to Wang Ao's side, that Lord Wang was in a hurry to treat the disease, and had already come to urge, and if he didn't go, he was afraid that he would have to carry a sedan chair to invite.
When passing by the gate of the Thousand Households, many school captains saw Liu Chengfeng, and they all showed strange looks, different from when Liu Chengfeng first came to the house, there was a kind of mockery in the past eccentricity, but now it is with a strange awe.
Out of the Qianhu Institute, it happened that a school captain rode a horse to meet him, and when he arrived at the gate, he said in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, Wu Zongqi of Wuma Hutong was killed by the wrestlers in Nanzhen Fusi, Yang Baihu asked someone to intercede, and I don't know if I can live, Liu Qianhu is not there?" ”
"Liu Qianhu has just arrived, go and report quickly, do you want to call someone to report to Wu Zongqi's family? How did things get to this point? Our thousands of households are really, who is not easy to mess with, just to provoke ......"
"Hmph, the one surnamed Liu is not a good thing, and the following is ......"
The thousand households were already in chaos, and Liu Chengfeng had already turned a street corner and left.
