The Wu patriarch conceded defeat.Zhuge Yi behind the screen walked to the front hall with a gentle smile, took out a secret letter with a golden thread Shu brocade cover from his arms, and handed it to Zhang Qincha.Zhang Qincha recognized this Shu brocade secret letter at a glance, and even the sealed cinnabar lacquer seal did not need to be checked, the emperor's imperial pen secret decree, and seeing the secret decree was like seeing the emperor."
Minister Zhang Shi'an received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!""
Minister Cheng Qing received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Governor Cheng also knelt down and bowed his head to receive the order, and secretly sweated for the Wu patriarch in his heart.It seems that Zhuge Gongzi's identity is extraordinary, and he can get the emperor's imperial pen secret decree, how can he be offended by a small person like the Wu patriarch?
I am afraid that the true identity of Zhuge Gongzi is the emperor's secret envoy, who specializes in micro-service to visit the people and report the grievances of the people to the emperor.The more he thought about it, the more sure he was of his guess, Cheng Zhifu's face was pale, and he raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat.Fortunately, he didn't bend the law for personal gain, otherwise the black yarn would not be guaranteed, and it would be difficult to protect the head of the neck.Zhang Qincha handed over the secret decree of the golden thread Shu brocade to Zhuge Yi, and said with a shy old face: "The emperor's secret decree to Zhuge Gongzi, how dare the lower officials peep into it."
What is the will of the saint, the lower officials dare not speculate, and hope that Zhuge Gongzi will tell him directly. ”One by one, the "lower officials" lowered their status into the dust, and they were humble and respectful to Zhuge Yi, who did not have half an official position, and was more deferential than seeing the emperor in person.Zhuge Yi put away the secret decree of the golden thread Shu brocade, glanced at the depressed Wu patriarch, and said: "When the patriarch personally escorted the jade seal into Beijing, Ling Ye and Qin Wuye had already sent people to investigate in all directions, and reported the results of the investigation to the emperor.The Wu patriarch was indeed wronged, and the bandit who stole the jade seal was the bandit leader he hired. ”"Oh, I see."
Zhang Qincha pretended to suddenly come to his senses, and cooperated with Zhuge Yi to sing and say: "After the confession of the Wu patriarch, he has exterminated those bandits.The body of this bandit leader is nowhere to be found, how can I go back to Beijing to recover my life.It's really hard. ”"Lord Zhang enforces the law strictly, does not wronged good people, does not let go of evil people, but is a good official in the hearts of the people."
Zhuge Yi praised Zhang Qincha's radiant face and bright smile, patted him on the shoulder and laughed and said: "Zhuge Gongzi has won the award, how can I be so good as you say."
Hahahaha!
”"Master Zhang is humble."
Zhuge Yi bowed and invited Zhang Qincha to return to the back house of the government to talk again.Cheng Zhifu sat back in the hall tremblingly, and the shocked wooden clip did not fall between his fingers.According to Zhuge Gongzi's meaning, let go of the Wu patriarch, but he didn't say when he would release it."
Someone, escort the patriarch of the Wu clan back to the prison, and wait for the fate.""
Huh?
Cheng family cub, didn't you hear Zhuge Gongzi say to let me go?
”The angry Wu patriarch came to his senses, and when he heard that Governor Cheng refused to let him go, he immediately clamored to find Zhuge Yi to come out to confront him.Cheng Zhifu was helpless, so he had to go back to the back house to see Zhuge Yi and Zhang Qincha in person.He can be sure that Zhuge Yi clearly punished the Wu patriarch to avenge his murder of Feng Xian's daughter.If the Wu patriarch admits defeat, his life will be saved; If he is stubborn and not convinced, Zhang Qincha immediately escorted the Wu patriarch back to Beijing to resume his life, and the secret decree in Zhuge Yi's arms will not be counted.Fortunately, the Wu patriarch was afraid of death and obediently admitted defeat.When I returned to the back house, I saw Zhang Qincha and Zhuge Yi chatting enthusiastically, accompanied by Li Haitang and Patriarch Mo.Governor Cheng was in a dilemma, standing at the foot of the stone steps with his sleeves and hesitating.Li Haitang saw the anxious Cheng Governor's Mansion, quietly came to Zhuge Yi's side, and reminded in a low voice: "Master, Cheng Governor's Mansion came to ask how to deal with the Wu Patriarch, do you want to ......?"
”Zhuge Yi squinted at the prefect of Cheng outside the door, and said to Zhang Qincha: "Lord Zhang went back to Beijing to meet the emperor, please greet the emperor on my behalf."
When my little apprentice was able to travel far away, I took her to meet the emperor. ”"Haha, don't worry, I will definitely show the emperor the filial piety of Zhuge Gongzi."
Zhang Qincha said intimately, but he didn't notice the cunning that flashed in Zhuge Yilong's eyes.Filial piety?
Zhang Qincha's second-grade official position is probably going to be reduced.As for the extent to which the emperor will be punished, it is not for him to care.Cheng Zhifu couldn't wait for the opportunity, so he had to leave in disappointment.Returning to the court, he ordered the arrest of the Wu patriarch and his return to the cell.The Wu patriarch shouted and scolded the prefect Cheng for being ungrateful and ignorant of what to do.Cheng Zhifu secretly complained, and always felt that the black gauze hat on his head was not guaranteed.Zhang Qincha only stayed in Ciyu Town for two days, and when he found the body of the bandit who stole the jade seal tomorrow, he returned to Beijing to resume his life.Of course, before leaving, I also want to see my friends who I haven't seen in years.Zhuge Yi raised his vigilance and asked with a calm smile: "I have lived in the Eight Great Clans for many years, and I am a little familiar with the magnates in Porcelain Yu Town.I don't know who Master Zhang's friend is......"
"Hahaha, Zhuge Gongzi must know."
He used to be the second master of the Yan clan, and he was a neighbor with me when he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River.The year I joined the company, he quietly left. ”"After that, I sent people around to inquire about him, but who knew that he actually worshiped under the door of the Jianghu Poison Saint and studied poison arts.Half a year after I entered Beijing, he suddenly came to visit.I learned that he was disgusted with poison and harmed people, and had entered the Sanqing Dao Sect to cultivate his self-cultivation. ”Recalling the past, Zhang Qin almost sighed at the beauty of his youth, and it was really good to have a confidant and close friend to talk about the past and the present after boring study.Time is gone, and now he has a temple full of deceit, and his best friend has transcended the mortal world and cultivated into an immortal.Zhuge Yi didn't expect Zhang Qincha to have such an unusual bond with the Sanqing Daoists, and it seemed that his plan to get rid of the Sanqing Daoists would change slightly.Unless Zhang Qincha and the Sanqing Daoist turn their faces and become enemies, if the Sanqing Daoist dies, Zhang Qincha will definitely avenge his best friend."
In this way, I will not bother."
Zhuge Yi got up and saluted, led Li Haitang and Patriarch Mo out of the prefect's yamen, and returned to the porcelain source hall by carriage.When he came, Li Haitang rode in a carriage alone, and Zhuge Yi and Patriarch Mo rode together.When they returned, Li Haitang was going to be crowded in their carriage.Zhuge Yi smiled indulgently, and Patriarch Mo sighed helplessly.The carriage drove slowly towards the porcelain source hall, steady and slow.Li Haitang relied on Zhuge Yi to play the hand board, and every time he was empty, he pouted angrily and was unhappy.In the next round, Zhuge Yi was deliberately slow to let her hit.Patriarch Mo stared at the young man playing the game with a heavy heart.Six years ago, a frail and sickly boy came to the door of the porcelain source hall to ask for acceptance, and was recognized by the eight patriarchs with a wonderful pen Danqing, and took him to live in Wuxinyuan.Six years later, the teenager who had been familiar suddenly became strange.What surprised Patriarch Mo even more was that the young man had the ability to reverse the holy will, and even the minister of the second rank of the capital showed his flattery.Astound!
Unspeakable shock!
Patriarch Mo found himself despising this young man who had hidden great strength, and he regretted that he had not been able to fulfill his covenant with the young man seriously.Zhuge Yi pretended to casually glance at Patriarch Mo, who had a solemn face, and said meaningfully: "There is no regret medicine in the world.Maybe Patriarch Mo still has a chance, just see if you can grasp it. ”"Uncle Zhuge Zi, if you can say it, I can do it."
Patriarch Mo was solemn, half ecstatic and half jealous.() Glory to the end
