Chapter five hundred and seventy first: lost and found
After Qin Shaolou talked about this, his tone became relaxed. He slowly sat down and stopped asking about these things. He just repeatedly urged Zheng Tong to get up and then advised him to have tea.
At this time, Qin Shaoyou was kind and just asked Zheng Tong when he moved, how he was halfway through, and whether he was used to coming to Weizhou.
Zheng Tong felt relieved. He knew that his life had been saved for the time being.
However, his identity seems a little awkward, but now he can't care so much. He knows that his test has not been over yet, so he dares not take it lightly and answers obediently: "It was his body that moved on the ninth day of last month, and he stopped and stopped all the way. Although Weizhou is not as good as Chang'an, it is really worth it under the good governance of Your Highness."
Today, there are so many flatteries that Zheng Tong has difficulty finding appropriate adjectives for a while.
Qin Shaoyou just smiled faintly, but said that his thoughts were moving: "Why did Empress Wei ask you to be the governor of Zhaoyi Town?"
This question first made Zheng Tong stunned for a moment, and then he felt that he was quite humiliated. Isn’t this obvious? Empress Wei asked him to come, but he represented the Zheng family. He wanted the Zheng family to fight with you, Qin Shaoyou for the fat piece of Zhaoyi Town. Of course, Qin Shaoyou knew why the person who came from was surnamed Zheng, but he still asked this question, and the implication was nothing more than that, were all the people surnamed Zheng dead? Why did you let a waste like you come?
This sentence hurts Zheng Tong very much. Although he is greedy for life and fears death, he still has self-esteem after all. Can Your Highness say so bluntly?
But since Qin Shaoyou asked, no matter how Zheng Tong felt, he dared not answer. He said with a sad face: "Actually, Xia Guan was ridiculous when he was young."
There are many meanings of ridiculousness, such as flying eagles and dogs, and they are brave and relying on their power and power at home, so they are unrestrained.
Obviously, this kind man is ridiculous and excessive. So famous that a ridiculous person is often synonymous with courage in the eyes of others. Wei thought Zheng Tong was bold and thought Zheng Tong was indifferent to the consequences, so he chose Zheng Tong, but he didn't know that there is a difference between true and false absurd in this world. A truly ridiculous person is ridiculous to the core. No matter who you are, I will still do my own way. What can you do to me? If you have a genius, you will kill me. There is another type that obviously seems a bit fake. Their absurdity is based on someone giving them a post-care, and you see that you are weak. So what if I bully you, what if I bully you? I got into a lawsuit. My father is XXX, but if they hit the iron plate, they will immediately wither, just like Zheng Tong now.
Qin Shaoyou was also a little amused and cried about this. He never expected that the allusion was like this. He did not continue to ask in detail, but said kindly: "The governor is just here for the first time, and I am afraid he will be familiar with the situation here. Naturally, we must take a good rest first. In the future, we will have a long time to deal with you and me. As for the same sentence, I hope the governor will not delay the banquet tomorrow."
Zheng Tong knew that his little body, whose life was hanging on the thread, finally survived. He was glad that this man surnamed Qin was really fooling. It was good to live. He immediately said, "How dare the officials? You must arrive at that time."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou ordered someone to arrange a place for him. Zheng Tong stayed in, and felt much more relaxed. He was no longer worried. I have to say that the people here respected him very much. In any case, he was also a governor. However, the one with the surname Qin actually believed his own lies. Haha, it seems that the one with the surname Qin is not scary. He can be beaten with just a few words.
He slept well and focused on the dust feast at night.
At this time, he kept in a good mood and even thought about whether he should send a letter to his elder brother to report his safety.
At the dock in Weizhou, there are dark clouds now, and it seems that it is going to rain, so it is much deserted. Recently, because countless projects have started construction, the dock here is very wet and congested. Many merchants have come here, hoping to get a share of the pie.
Near this place, there is a newly built inn. The inn was already full half a month ago, and even the woodshed was full. Most of these guests were busy outside, opening up their joints everywhere and looking for business opportunities. However, because today's weather is shady and sunny, everyone refused to go out and were all eating tea on the first floor.
Dada dada dada
Teams of Shence Army were speeding past the pier, which made the people in the inn have a lot of talk.
"What's wrong today? Why are there Shen Ce Army everywhere here? It's a hell. Although Shen Ce Army will also patrol, it's not like this. Could something have happened?"
"It doesn't look like this. If something really happens, no one of these officials is going to be in a panic, with bows and crossbows and swords unsheathed. But looking at them, it seems very relaxed. Perhaps it is just a routine official business."
"You don't know this. I heard that it was not because of some riots here or the Shence Army encountered some trouble, but because you heard of the new Governor Zheng."
"Oh, I heard a little, why, this matter is related to Governor Zheng?"
The people who are flirting with this kind of thing are most interested in this kind of thing. They are more willing to believe in the intrigue at the top, and the more bloody it is, the more exciting it is. So many people cheer up and have their ears, just wanting to hear what the next thing is.
"Of course it's related to Governor Zheng. Let me tell you, Governor Zheng lost an extremely important thing. This thing has a lot to do with it, but I don't know what it is. Therefore, the Shen Ce Army is also quite concerned about it. I heard that Governor Zheng's things were lost at the dock. Now, aren't people sending people to search everywhere? This is really interesting to you. Zhaoyi Town, why should you let someone named Zheng take charge of the government? This is obviously the court cough. In short, if it were someone else, you would have been disdainful of Governor Zheng and even made things difficult for you. However, Governor Hongnor was not only polite, but he went to the city gate to greet him in person yesterday, but he heard that he had lost something. He also had to search for it. It is said that there will be a banquet tonight to welcome Governor Zheng."
"Of course. The kindness and righteousness of His Highness Hongnong is well known in the world. Look quietly, how many people are pointing at him to eat in Henan Prefecture and even in Zhaoyi Town now? With this alone, I will accept him."
Someone laughed and scolded: "They are so dignified, so you still need to submit to him."
As he was speaking, the Shen Ce Army, who had gone to the dock, hurriedly sent a team of troops and returned the same way.
At this time, it started to rain in the sky, and the heavy rain poured down on the earth. The sound in the inn was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the sensation of rain.
In the afternoon, Zheng Tong wore a new set of clothes and a team of guards, and hurriedly set off.
Since Qin Shaoyou held a banquet, he had to go. Anyway, he had no worries now. Since Qin Shaoyou wanted to show kindness, he had long been unable to ask for it.
When he arrived at Qin Shaoyou's headquarters, he saw that it was already crowded, but Qin Shaoyou led the Shence Army and the officials of Zhaoyi Town to guard him here.
This scene really made Zheng Tong a little flattered.
Did you suddenly become such an important person?
It seems that this governor is worth a lot.
Now that I think about it, Zheng Tong is a little worthless. He has known that he has such a capital that makes people care about. Yesterday, he cried and begged for mercy, which seemed a bit over. Hey, he is still too young.
After he got out of the car, Qin Shaoyou took a step forward and said, "Governor Zheng is here, I have been waiting for a long time, so Governor Zheng asks me to come in."
Zheng Tong returned the greeting and said, "Shame, ashamed, I didn't expect the palace to be so early."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and led the way first. Others saluted Zheng Tong one by one, and Zheng Tong responded one by one.
He was a little fluttering. It seemed that the governor did not have a bad life. He was really worried. Oh, I still regretted it very much. I knew it a long time ago that I really shouldn't have begged for mercy.
After entering the main hall, some important officials invited Zheng Tong to sit in the seat with Qin Shaoyou. Zheng Tong looked at the empty seat and was really embarrassed. After all, he was just the governor. Qin Shaoyou was also the Prince of Hongnong. His identity was still worse than Qin Shaoyou, not to mention that his actual authority was even more overwhelming.
He said modestly: "What kind of virtue is the lower-ranking official? If you really dare to sit on the seat, your highness should sit on the seat. Just be as good as the lower-ranking official is to sit on the seat."
Qin Shaoyou refused and said, "This is not true. Governor Zheng is the protagonist of today's banquet. How can he be the last seat? If Governor Zheng doesn't sit on it, I will have to stand with him."
Others also came to persuade: "Yes, yes, Governor Zheng, this is your highness's destiny, Governor Zheng doesn't have to be polite."
"Governor Zheng, we have been famous for a long time. If Governor Zheng doesn't sit in the upper seat, I will be embarrassed to move my chopsticks."
"Governor Zheng, don't be polite"
Zheng Tong suddenly realized that he had the intention of suddenly becoming the protagonist. Suddenly, he was so angry that he was not polite and was directly on the way. Qin Shaoyou was sitting on the side with a smile.
Everyone sat down one after another.
Then countless wine and dishes came, and singers came in to sing and dance to cheer everyone up.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zheng Tong felt more at ease. He took a slightly drunken look at everyone's toasts one by one, staring at the beautiful singers without moving. Although he was in the Zheng family, he was also frugal, but it was difficult to get the sincere respect from others. Here, there were countless flattering words in his ears: "Governor Zheng Gao Yi, we have also heard of many Governor Zheng's righteous actions in Chang'an, and I really admire him."
"Which of the children of the Zheng family is a mortal? Governor Zheng, especially the dragon and phoenix of the Zheng family, is envious. Your Highness has always been thinking about Governor Zheng's goodness."
"In my opinion, it would be enough if Governor Zheng didn't say that he was just a Governor, even if he was a Servant, it would be enough."
Zheng Tong laughed and said, "Where, where, but I'm not humble, this other thing. I don't boast about anything else, but I can afford it with the word Gao Yi. Haha, I, Zheng, hate evil like a grudge."
"By the way." Qin Shaoyou, who was sitting beside him, smiled and put down his chopsticks. Then he said calmly: "Didn't Governor Zheng say yesterday that he lost a letter at the dock?"
"Yes, yes, it's such a pity. Hey, Zheng was so uncautioned, so ashamed, ashamed." After saying that, Zheng Tong laughed again. He really wanted to laugh in his heart, because this was to fool you, where did you come from? I, Zheng, can say that I die if I die. This letter is of course false. Your Highness, King Hongnong, you can train troops and accumulate wealth. But it's too easy to be fooled, but Zheng is indeed not humble. I am the best at fooling others.
Qin Shaoyou nodded. But suddenly said, "That letter is found. Governor Zheng is said to be lucky. Since Governor Zheng lost that letter, I have been worried and ordered people to search everywhere. Sure enough, it is hard work that God has fulfilled, and even God wants to help Governor Zheng. This letter has been found."
The smile on Zheng Tong's face suddenly froze, and then he sobered up like a cold wind blew.
Looking for it
How did you find it?
Obviously, this is my nonsense letter. How could I find it? Isn’t this a joke?
Suddenly, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and then, the uneasy mood began to spread throughout his body. His Adam's apple rolled, and a cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. He forced a smile: "Ah, I found it, this is really a happy thing, but is it really the letter I lost? Will Your Highness make a mistake? Hahaha, naturally, I don't want to make a mistake. What I mean is that this letter is really too important, I am just afraid of being happy, hahahahaha." He laughed loudly, thinking that he wanted to cry.
Qin Shaoyou looked at him sincerely and confidently, and said without hesitation: "Governor Zheng, you can't make a mistake. You really found it. That letter was written by Empress Wei. I have someone checked the handwriting. It was indeed written by Empress Wei. In addition, the content inside is exactly the same as what Governor Zheng said. There is no mistake at all. If you don't believe it, please read it yourself."
He took out a letter.
Zheng Tong went to answer with a trembling trembling, and took it with ten thousand grass horses in his heart. Where did this letter come from? I am just lying, and Empress Wei’s handwriting is nothing but what’s the same, but of course he didn’t dare to say it. This is his own lies. He had a feeling that if he dared to say a fake word, those who were present who praised him would overturn the table without hesitation and chop himself into meat sauce with one knife.
So he took a deep breath, fearing that someone would notice his incompetence. While taking the letter, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha, this thing is lost and regained. This governor is very excited, very happy, very happy. Oh, very happy, so happy that tears come out."
Two lines of clear tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.
But these tears were not at all happy.
Of course, he said this was a tears of joy, and no one questioned it.
He held this letter as if he was holding a hot potato, but in front of everyone, he could only open the letter with a graceful small characters inside. Naturally, this was Empress Wei's "handwriting". At least even if it was not, the handwriting inside was imitated vividly, enough to distort the real thing. Of course, even if the imitation was fake, what could Zheng Tong say? Could it be that this letter was forged? His Highness, King Hongnong, had said it, and it had been verified that it would definitely not be fake, and the content in the letter was exactly the same as what he said. If Zheng Tong said it was fake, wouldn't it mean that the counterfeiter was His Highness, Prince Hongnong, Prince Hongnong was really polite today. At least at the beginning, he gave Zheng Tong an illusion of an honest person.
However, when Qin Shaoyou took out this letter, Zheng Tong knew that if you dared to say that he had forged the letter, people would never recognize anyone. This guy killed so many people, he shouldn't care about one or two more.
So, of course, this letter is true.
Empress Wei is really ambition. She is so shameless. In her trust, she secretly instructed herself to kill the imperial official of the Tang Dynasty and the outstanding achievements of Prince Hongnong. She even said it was a conspiracy to kill the emperor, but Wei Hongmin was just an order.
The entire letter showed the ugly face of Empress Na Wei.
The five thousand words chapter is delivered. (To be continued.)
