Zhang Bangchang pulled him to sit down with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Brother Shi, this is not just for you." After saying that, he took out another letter from his arms and gently placed it in front of Shi Xuehe.
Shi Xuehe hesitated for a moment, then picked up the letter and opened it. The letter was written in beautiful regular script, which was concise, clear and quite subtle. He only said that we were destined to meet each other someday. Mr. Wang Shi would take care of it and signed the letter at the end.
It's four characters with flying dragons and phoenixes - Wanyan Zongbi.
Of course Shi Xuehe knew that Wanyan Zongbi was Wushu, and he also understood the few sentences in this letter, which meant that when the Jin army came to the city, they hoped that Shi Xuehe would not resist anymore and open the door to surrender as soon as possible, but this... this is completely
You are allowing yourself to collaborate with the enemy and treason!
Zhang Bangchang saw his eyes flashing with surprise, and he was obviously still thinking about it. He added: "The fourth prince said that the garrison of Bianjing will still be handed over to you Brother Shi. If you are really a smart man, you can even go up."
Let's take a walk." He paused and said with a smile, "It's okay if Master Shi insists on not wanting to... Oh, by the way, Master Liang is still in Dali Temple now, has Master Shi ever visited him?"
My brother became Master Shi again, and I also became my true self. There was not a single threat in Zhang Bangchang's words, but Shi Xuehe suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If you accept the cash check, we are our own people. I will keep you safe. If you don't accept the cash check, I'm sorry. The official family has begun to deal with the Liang thieves. Everyone in the court knows who your Shi Xuehe is. Don't cry when the time comes.
beg me.
Shi Xuehe made a quick decision and hurriedly bowed deeply: "I feel unwell occasionally today. I was just a little dizzy just now. I didn't have time to reply. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me." After speaking, without hesitation, he put the banknote in his arms and forced a smile.
, "Since this is the case, I have the audacity to accept it."
Zhang Bangchang twirled his beard and looked at him with a smile, with a very satisfied look in his eyes. Suddenly he raised his hand and patted the door. He heard the door creaking and a scent of fragrant wind blew into his nostrils. They were two charming young women.
Shi Xuehe was stunned: "Mr. Prime Minister, this..." But before he could finish speaking, the two women had already sat beside him, one on the left and one on the right. One had stretched out her jade hands to climb up his neck, and the other fell down.
She put a full glass of wine to his mouth, giggling and smiling.
Zhang Bangchang raised his wine glass with a smile: "Brother Shi, if you don't get drunk today, you won't get home."
Shi Xuehe was very happy and raised his glass: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiang!"
…
Shi Xuehe was drunk. Although he was not completely drunk, he was already in a trance and could not tell the difference between north and south. He didn't even know when he left the Prime Minister's Mansion. In his remaining consciousness, he only knew that the Prime Minister actually sent someone to see him off.
When I go back, I can see how caring I am.
The soft sedan was walking smoothly on the streets late at night. Shi Xuehe gradually couldn't hold it up anymore and was about to fall asleep. But at this moment, the sedan suddenly stopped, and someone shouted and asked: "Who is sitting here?"
Shi Xuehe was in a daze and didn't want to open his eyes. He only heard the sedan bearer say with a hint of panic: "To tell you the truth, I was just hired. I don't know who the master in the sedan is."
The person who spoke before shouted again: "Open the sedan curtain and let me see."
Shi Xuehe was getting a little impatient. There has been some tension in Bianjing City recently, and the patrols in the city have become more frequent. But he is the second rank of the current dynasty. Who dares to check him without opening his eyes? But when he was confused,
He actually didn't notice what the bearer said, that they were just hired.
The sedan curtain was opened with a bang, and the dazzling firelight made Shi Xuehe's eyes hurt. He was immediately furious. Just as he was about to scold him, he caught a glimpse of two figures standing outside. He stopped abruptly when he spoke, and drank too much.
I woke up half way.
This is... Kaiping King Gaoyong and Zongze?
Yongye and Zongze also saw clearly who was in the sedan. No matter what their relationship was, they were both officials after all. Hypocritical politeness is still necessary when there is no quarrel. Zongze held his hands with a smile and said
: "It turns out to be Mr. Shi. I didn't know about it. I hope you will forgive me." Lord Yong just looked at him and said nothing. After all, he was a hereditary prince and disdained such officials who climbed up to flatter him.
How could Shi Xuehe dare to sit still? He quickly struggled to get up and get out of the sedan, even if he had a splitting headache, he couldn't care less.
"Prince Kaiping, Marshal Zong, I..." As he spoke, he stood up and stepped out of the sedan. But for some reason, when he was about to get out of the sedan, he suddenly seemed to trip over something. He lost his balance and fell out.
His hands and feet were weak when he was drunk, and he didn't even have time to grab something. He fell hard with a bang, and he groaned in pain.
Zongze hurriedly came over to help him: "Master Shi, be careful, I will lower my rank..."
His words suddenly stopped, and the hand holding Shi Xuehe loosened up. Shi Xuehe suddenly fell to the ground again, and couldn't help but became furious: "Marshal Zong, what do you mean?"
I saw Zongze picking up an object from the ground in front of the sedan, and looked at it carefully in front of the fire. His face suddenly changed, and he handed the object to Master Yong: "My lord, look at it, what is this?"
Master Yong took it and took a look, and saw that it was a golden sign. On the front was carved a tiger with its teeth and claws, and on the back were two seal characters - Red San.
"Hmph!" Master Yong suddenly raised his head, stared into Shi Xuehe's eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Tianluo, Chitang, Mr. Shi, you are disrespectful!"
Shi Xuehe's mind went blank for a moment. He had also heard of Tianluo Chitang, which was a secret power in the hands of the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, used for spying and assassination, but how could such a sign fall out of his body for no reason?
Come, and fall right in front of Zongze’s eyes?
Master Yong waved his hand and shouted: "Take it down and search with me!"
Several officers and soldiers swarmed up and dragged Shi Xuehe up from the ground, and tied him up without saying a word. Only then did Shi Xuehe wake up and said angrily: "Damn it! I am the second-ranked officer in the court, who dares to tie me up!"
Master Yong sneered: "Are you still being tough? See if I dare!" As he spoke, he strode forward. Regardless of Shi Xuehe's scolding, he reached for his arms and quickly took out a thick stack of silver.
He opened the letter and glanced at it briefly, his face suddenly turned livid, and he raised a sneer in front of Shi Xuehe's eyes, "What is this?"
Shi Xuehe stopped cursing. His drunkenness had completely dissipated. He was now soberer than ever. He had realized that today was over.
Zongze took the letter and read it again. Although the content of the letter was not much, every word was shocking. Especially the signature at the end of the letter made Zongze's eyes flash with a stern look. His face was like water and he glanced at Shi Xuehe.
, said coldly: "Please bring Master Shi back, I want to meet with the Holy Lord!"
Hearing the word "Holy Lord", Shi Xuehe suddenly turned around and shouted: "This is a frame-up, a frame-up. I also want to see the Holy Lord..."
In the darkness not far away, Xu Zizhen and Su San were secretly watching here. Su San asked doubtfully: "Why do you have to go to such great lengths to frame him? Don't you think it's a loss if you use your own money to frame him?"
Xu Zizhen smiled strangely: "Are you losing? That's because you don't know how rich this bastard is."
