Chapter 139: Human Words Are Terrifying
The gate of the West Market was not opened, and many people had gathered in front of the door, talking and laughing in groups. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info people are still coming.
The two young men of twenty-two or three years old were talking as they moved to the side to make way for the crowd. Suddenly, a young man said in surprise, "Really? Someone actually assassinated the owner who lived in peace? No way? ”
Probably too surprised, the voice couldn't help but be a little louder, and more than half of the people at the gate heard it, and they all looked at him. He realized that he had lost his temper, blushed, and smiled.
An old man near the door continued: "No, the owner of Yi's house has been assassinated, but the old man saw it with his own eyes." Oh my God, the sword in the assassin's hand was three feet long, and the sword aura was so wide that it was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes. ”
Three-foot Qingfeng, it's not three feet long.
The old man's voice was loud and energetic, and many people looked at him at the same time, and their footsteps moved towards him, and they were even more humane: "Uncle, are you really there?" ”
"It's not ......" The old man described the danger of Cheng Mo's assassination like a storyteller, and people listened to it with relish, and no one noticed when the two young men left.
The gate of the West Market opened, the crowd poured in, and the news of the assassination of the owner of Yi'anju also spread to every corner of the West Market. Many people went to look in front of the shop in Yi'anju, and saw that the door was open as usual, and some came forward to talk to Cheng Mo and ask about Cheng Mo's condition; Some turned and departed.
Whenever someone asked, Yi'anju's guy wiped his tears and reproduced the scene of Cheng Mo's assassination, saying that the owner is such a good person, how can there be that black-hearted and black-livered villain who wants to assassinate him? There is no better person in the world than the owner. Fortunately, the owner was lucky, and God couldn't bear to hurt him, so he escaped. Yunyun.
The same scene happened in Higashi, but with a slightly different discourse. The young man only said that some people couldn't do business, and they were jealous that Yi'anju's business was getting bigger and bigger, and they were angry at the owner of Yi'anju. Soon, some people thought that Xingyetang was returned some time ago, and now it is about to go out of business.
The city gate was opened less than a pillar of incense, and the assassination incident had been rumored to be the owner of Xingyetang who sent someone to assassinate the owner of Yi'anju, but fortunately, the owner of Yi'anju was a person of great fortune, so the assassin did not succeed. Yunyun.
When the assassination of the owner of Yi'anju became the hottest topic in the east and west cities, He Dong, the doorman who had been tasted by the imperial doctor, was idle and wandered around the east market, but he didn't expect to hear such exciting news. He had been under the disciple for nearly a year, and he had no merit, and when he heard the news, he was overjoyed and thought that the opportunity for meritorious service had arrived.
Now, in the upper circles, who doesn't know that Xingyetang is Shangguan's industry? Shangguan Ji was impeached for this, and he was so ashamed that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
He Dong hurried back to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and when he returned to the mansion, he immediately reported the matter.
Cheng Mo was assassinated, and Emperor Zhao sent Yu Linlang to protect him, and rewarded him with a large amount of money to comfort him, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew about the civil and military affairs. And Shangguan Ji was ashamed and vomited blood and fainted because of Xingyetang's impeachment, but it was yesterday.
Two things happen to come together, if you want to say that they are irrelevant, who will believe them? Although Shen Ding was still investigating, Zeng Yan still wrote a letter overnight.
sent more than a dozen dead soldiers, took advantage of the darkness to rush to Cheng's mansion to carry out the assassination, not only failed to kill Cheng Mo, but four people were injured and fled back in embarrassment. Shangguan Ji was also speechless.
The man in black in the lead pleaded guiltily and said: "A small dereliction of duty, hundreds of people have popped up out of nowhere......"
He really couldn't figure it out, Cheng Mansion entered the courtyard twice, how many servants could there be? How could there be hundreds of crossbow-wielding masters? People with such good skills, let alone Cheng Mo, even Hui Changbo can't find dozens of them, let alone hundreds of people popping up at once?
Shangguan Ji looked at him coldly for a long time, and said: "Cut off your left arm, hand over the messenger, and go to guard the grange." ”
This is not a heavy punishment. The black-clothed man in the lead trembled and responded in a low voice: "No." ”
Shangguan was stunned in the palace and was sent back to the house, where he asked the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but he did not go to court. But the fold that impeached him again was still handed to him after the dispersal of the court.
There are not many people who have never forgotten, but there are one or two in the court, and one of them is his person.
He only glanced at it, then called the chief butler and asked, "What do you say outside?" ”
The Imperial Historian does not have the right to hearsay things, and everything must be evidenced before he can be impeached. The last time he was impeached as the proprietor of Xingye Hall, it was because Lao Huang went to the gate of the Taifu Mansion to make trouble, and there were hundreds of onlookers. So what now?
Seeing that the matter could not be suppressed, the chief butler hesitated for a long time, and said: "That Cheng Wulang entered the palace on an errand this morning, took hundreds of guards, and showed off his might all the way, publicizing the assassination. Many civil and military officials of the previous dynasty have witnessed ......"
You can't tell Ah Lang about the extremely unbearable words outside, lest he die of anger. The chief butler thought as he became more and more worried.
"Where did he get the hundreds of guards?" Shangguan asked.
These people must be the ones who were ambushed around Cheng Mansion last night, and when his dead soldiers arrived, they caught turtles in the urn. Thinking of this, Shangguan Ji secretly hated in his heart, he knew that this person was so cunning, and he should have done whatever it took to get rid of him.
Thinking of Cheng Mo's past in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, in front of his peers in the scattered dynasty, chasing him to collect debts, Shangguan Ji clenched his hands into fists. In the past, I regretted not being at the beginning, but now I hate it to the core.
The chief butler said with a bitter face: "The old slave doesn't know. The old slave will be sent to investigate. ”
Shangguan Ji squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Get out!" ”
What did you do earlier, only then do you go to check!
The big housekeeper was frightened, and he really climbed out with a roll, and rushed to let people check.
Emperor Zhao looked at the recital three times in a row, and asked Huo Guang, who was sitting at the bottom: "How does Qing plan to deal with this matter?" ”
Huo Guang was silent for a long time and said, "Please show your majesty." ”
You can deal with it as your old man says. Emperor Zhao's unusually strong position today made Huo Guang more cautious than before. Shangguan Ji offended him first, the two were fighting for family interests, Cheng Mo just made him feel a little unhappy, so far, there are no interests involved.
Emperor Zhao sneered and said, "The first emperor entrusted me to Qing, but now someone is attacking the people around me, but Qing asks me instead?" I haven't been in power yet! ”
In the last sentence, Emperor Zhao was already full of voice. Or because he was so angry and sad, he kept coughing.
Even Emperor Wu mentioned it, Huo Guang didn't dare to test it again, and hurriedly said solemnly: "This matter has been thoroughly investigated by Tingwei." Please also ask Your Majesty to be calm and not be impatient, and when Shen Tingwei verifies the truth, he will definitely deal with it strictly. ”
In the end, it is necessary for the evidence to be conclusive in order to convict Shangguan. It's just that he is also Emperor Wu's minister, and this proportion is not easy to handle.
Emperor Zhao said: "Huang An, pass on my oracle and reprimand!" ”
It doesn't matter if you did it or not, since you said you did it, you did it. You dare to attack my good brother, I haven't been in power yet, I can't kill you, it's okay to make you shameless, right?
Huang An responded.
Huo Guang was stunned. It seems that he has to re-weigh the weight of Cheng Wulang's kid in Emperor Zhao's heart.
