The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull. Xu Guangzuo and his son originally wanted to find out the truth and stand up for Zhang Yanling. But after the horseshoe was placed in front of them, both father and son fell silent.
Xu Guangzuo stood up and walked slowly. Soon he said: "Yanling, I think you are right. I am afraid that this matter cannot be investigated with great fanfare, otherwise it may be counterproductive."
Zhang Yanling smiled, he had expected this to be the result. Although he was the son-in-law of Duke Dingguo, in essence, this marriage was based on the principle of mutual benefit for both parties, and no one wanted to cause trouble.
Ding Guogong Xu Guangzuo took a fancy to
What's more, his status as the queen's younger brother is beneficial to the Duke of Dingguo, so there will be this marriage. If instead of bringing him benefits, he will bring him trouble, he will obviously first
Think about your own interests.
Zhang Yanling does not blame them. This is a rule operating in this era. Although it is not the only rule, many people act according to this rule. This is the case for Ding Guogong and his son.
Seeing Zhang Yanling's smile with a sense of seeing through everything, Xu Guangzuo felt a little angry and felt as if his clothes had been stripped off.
"Yanling, this is how I see it. Although you have obtained these horseshoes as physical evidence, such physical evidence is actually invalid. I will tell you this. The horses at Shangyuan Racecourse in Shaanxi are indeed exclusively supplied to the Beijing Camp and the
Inner court, but it doesn’t mean that the group of people are from the relevant departments. I don’t know if you understand this.”
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "My son-in-law understands. My father-in-law is saying that the ownership of the horses is not a definite evidence. Even if the horses those people ride are specially used for the Beijing camp and the inner court, it does not mean that the people riding the horses are from Beijing."
People from the camp and the inner court.”
Xu Guangzuo nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, that's what I said. You think about it, over the years, Shangyuan Racecourse in Shaanxi Province has supplied hundreds of thousands of horses to the imperial court. After delivery, there have been incidents of horses being lost, lost, and traded.
For example, the horses that pull carts in the government of our country are all Shangyuan horses. They are old horses that have been eliminated from the army, but they can still pull carts and ride.
They cannot be used as cavalry mounts. Such horses cannot be used as military horses, but they cannot be allowed to die of old age or be killed in military stables. That would be a pity. It is better than dying in stables. Therefore, the court
Therefore, the army is allowed to sell retired military horses to private individuals. The price is lower, but some money can still be recovered, and the horses can be put to their best use. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Understood."
Xu Guangzuo continued: "Moreover, military offices transfer and borrow personnel from each other very frequently, and the mounts are often taken with them. Therefore, the management of horses is actually very chaotic. Although the racecourse is dedicated to supply,
But things were not so standardized after that. So, the logos on these horseshoes don’t mean anything.”
Zhang Yanling nodded slightly. Although Xu Guangzuo was looking for a reason, the reason did make some sense. But in Zhang Yanling's view, those horses were obviously not eliminated horses. They were all healthy horses, extremely strong and well-trained.
Yousu. Those horses listen
He didn't panic when he heard the roar of the gunfire, and he was also very fast when chasing on the official road. The black horse Zhang Yanling rode was considered a very strong horse. It was obvious that they caught up with them very quickly after riding one more person.
Therefore, Xu Guangzuo’s reason is actually untenable.
"Furthermore, these yamen you mentioned are very sensitive. Tuanying, Zhongjun Dudufu, Tengxiang Siwei, Neitingdongchang Yamen. These are not ordinary yamen. If you want to talk about this horse, check
These places will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences. Yanling, do you understand?" Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice.
"Dad, maybe we can secretly check the situation in the Beijing camp and the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and maybe we can find some clues. After all, these are under our control. We will discuss it with the British father later. He is the governor of the regiment camp.
It doesn't matter if we check within the camp. The Central Military Governor's Mansion is in charge of my father, so there shouldn't be any problems." Xu Yande suddenly said.
Xu Guangzuo frowned and shouted: "Nonsense, can the regiment camp and the Central Military Governor's Mansion be easily investigated? Those are the army, the soldiers and horses of the capital that guard the capital and protect the emperor. Investigate the army? Are you crazy? Doesn't that mean to tell everyone that the capital city
The army is loosely disciplined and disloyal. How dare someone secretly ambush Trillium? Isn't it true?
Are you saying that the British father-in-law and I did not lead the army well? Moreover, the noble family is not monolithic. Some people do not want to deal with us and turn their elbows outward. This investigation will not immediately cause an uproar and uproar? Isn’t this for
Will someone else hand over the knife? In the end, I am afraid that both the British father and I will have to explain these things to the emperor."
Xu Yande looked embarrassed and quickly shut up.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "My father-in-law is right, there is absolutely no way to find out, and my son-in-law means the same thing. No matter whether it can be found out or not, in the end it will be a piece of cake. In the end, it will become a reason for people to criticize."'
Xu Guangzuo clapped his hands and said, "Yes, look at Yanling, he is the one who knows the overall situation. Yande, you have to use your brain more. Don't be so impulsive when you speak and act."
Xu Yande hurriedly said: "Yes, that's what dad taught you."
Xu Guangzuo rolled his eyes at him and continued: "As for the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Dongchang Yamen, they are even more untouchable. The Tengxiang Four Guards are the personnel of the Imperial Guards under the jurisdiction of the Yuma Prison, not to mention whether they can
If they did such a thing, it was really their people who did it. There is no conclusive evidence.
The evidence must not be touched. Not to mention the Dongchang Yamen, it is the stall of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Are Wang Yue and Fan Heng's gang easy to mess with? It is said that Jinyiwei is not easy to mess with, and Dongchang Yamen is worse than Jinyiwei.
Not easy to mess with. Unless there is irrefutable proof, don’t even think about it.”
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "What my father-in-law said is absolutely true, and it cannot be investigated."
Xu Yande said: "What dad said is that it cannot be investigated, absolutely cannot be investigated."
"Dad, brother, let's just forget about this? So that's what you came here to talk about? It's really funny. If your daughter dies in the hands of those thieves this time, you probably won't avenge her. I
I really can't listen anymore." Xu Wanyi, who had already entered the room to rest, suddenly opened the curtain and rushed out, saying loudly.
Xu Guangzuo was a little embarrassed and scolded: "What do you know? How can a girl like you understand these things?"
Xu Wanyi said loudly: "My daughter doesn't understand the truth, but she knows the principle of revenge and resentment. We are being bullied now and almost lost our lives. Dad and brother came and said this
There are a lot of words, neither this nor that, it sounds really irritating. Fortunately, the Marquis fought off the powerful enemy last night and saved his daughter with all his strength, otherwise my daughter wouldn't be able to tell you these things here. It's really timid.
, extremely unresponsible.”
"You! You are so presumptuous!" Xu Guangzuo became angry and scolded him sternly.
Xu Yande blushed and remained silent, but felt a little ashamed in his heart.
Xu Wanyi snorted, swung the curtain, turned around and entered the room, closing the door with a bang.
