After the dizziness of being hit on the head subsided, Shao Pingbo calmly said again: "Master Zhao, I can't bear this beating and scolding in vain. Can you talk calmly?"
What do you mean, you can't suffer in vain? Seeing the blood, Zhao Gongquan's anger dropped. When he heard this, his anger surged up again. He killed his son and dared to say such words in front of his son's tomb. He was so angry that he suddenly rushed to the throne. When he reached the sword stand on the side of the hall, he pulled out a sword with a swish sound, turned around and charged towards him.
Shao Sansheng was shocked. How could he allow it? He immediately got up, but was grabbed tightly by Shao Pingbo.
The sword in Zhao Gongquan's hand flashed, and the blade was instantly placed on Shao Pingbo's neck. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and the hand holding the sword even shook with anger, but it was still difficult to cut off the fatal sword.
The enemy who killed his son was right in front of him, and he was kneeling with his hands tied. He could kill him with a sword at any time, but he couldn't do it.
For Shao Sansheng, this situation was too dangerous. There were so many young masters coming from the strong wind and waves. If he died in the hands of this person, wouldn’t it be like capsizing the boat in the gutter? Shao Sansheng struggled, but Shao Pingbo grabbed him hard and said calmly: "Old Shao, don't be nervous. Mr. Zhao has been in the court for a long time. He knows what he can and cannot do. He is not like me who is reckless and impulsive. I am an official of the court, and the people from Heishui Tower are outside. If I die here , Mr. Zhao has to pay for his life, Mr. Zhao’s life is worth more than mine!”
Seeing that Zhao Gongquan really did not dare to take action, Shao Sansheng calmed down and watched nervously.
But he didn't see that the sword edge had already scratched Shao Pingbo's neck, and blood was already oozing out.
Shao Pingbo tilted his head and squinted, "Mr. Zhao, my life is here. If you want to kill me to save your life for your son, I have no complaints. Just go ahead and do it. If you don't dare to kill, please put down your sword and talk to me if you have anything to say." , I feel very awkward when you act like this!"
Zhao Gongquan's face was distorted, and he struggled for a while, but finally he raised his sword.
He wanted to kill, of course he wanted to kill this animal. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill, but he didn't dare to kill. He wanted to kill a court official because of a personal grudge, and he was an official at the level of a feudal official. He couldn't bear the responsibility. It was precisely because of Shao Pingbo's rank. Not low, precisely because Shao Pingbo only has a rank but no actual position. Once he is entrusted with an important task, people of the corresponding rank will be replaced. His Majesty cannot reveal who will be replaced or whose power will be divided in advance. Shao Pingbo is like a sword hanging over some people's heads, which may fall at any time, which is why a group of people suppressed Shao Pingbo.
Although killing Shao Pingbo was a satisfying revenge, it was enough for political opponents to kill him.
Regardless of the fact that a group of people in the court joined forces to deal with Shao Pingbo before and now, they have a common purpose. Once this common purpose disappears, the people who joined together can immediately turn the spear to deal with him. The crime of killing a high official in the court will be eliminated in an instant. Can overthrow him.
"I don't dare to kill you!" Zhao Gongquan sneered, but his eyes fell on Shao Sansheng, "I think you are a good housekeeper!" Murderous intent appeared on his face.
He did not dare to kill Shao Pingbo, but he could still afford to kill a slave. If his son was replaced by a slave, even His Majesty would have to be considerate and not be too harsh.
Seeing the other party moving toward him, Shao Sansheng's heart tightened.
Shao Pingbo suddenly stood up and said, "Master Zhao, if you dare to hurt him even a finger, you will treat me as if I have never come to beg you today, and I will fight you until death. If you dare to kill him, I will let you be buried with the entire Zhao family!" "
Shao Sansheng was moved when he heard this and stood up.
Zhao Gongquan raised his sword and knocked on his shoulder, "You've already knelt down to beg me, and you still dare to threaten me? It's okay to show off your authority with His Majesty's support, but seriously, you're far behind."
Shao Pingbo: "If you have no sincerity at all, I will leave immediately. However, I will get back the blame for kneeling, beating, and scolding. Within half a year, I guarantee that the entire Zhao family will be wiped out."
Dogs don’t stay!”
Zhao Gongquan was so angry that he laughed back, "Who do you think you are? You dare to speak harshly. If you have the ability, leave now. Why are you kneeling down to beg me?"
Shao Pingbo: "I am indeed nothing, but when I was passing through Beizhou, I used the power of a single state to fight against South Korea in the north and resist Yan in the south. I also saw many internal historians like Mr. Zhao.
, I really don’t take it seriously, do you really want to see how the Zhao family destroyed the family?"
When he mentioned this matter, Zhao Gongquan felt a little scared in his heart, but he refused to let go, especially in front of his son's memorial tablet, "Then let's go!"
Shao Pingbo: "Master Zhao, has he really thought it through?"
Zhao Gongquan waved his hand and pointed to the door, "Get out!"
Shao Pingbo: "Aren't you afraid that after I go out, I will immediately summon the people from Heishuitai to raid the Zhao mansion?"
Zhao Gongquan hesitantly said: "Search my house? Do you think your family owns the Black Water Terrace? To scare me with the words of a three-year-old child, Mr. Shao, how childish are you?"
Shao Pingbo: "There is one thing I want to remind Lord Zhao. I am still from Heishuitai, Heishuitai, and Manager Tao. No one in this capital dares to act rashly. If I go out like this, Lord Zhao will beat me to death."
It doesn’t look good like this…”
Turning his head and staring into the other person's eyes, he said slowly: "People from Heishui Terrace have never been bullied like this in Jinjing, especially people at my level. Manager Tao will be unhappy. You are not giving Manager Tao face.
Before you hit Manager Tao in the face, have you thought about the consequences? The power of Heishuitai wants to overthrow you, Mr. Zhao. It may take some time, but it is not difficult. I came up with this tone and said that it may be a bit too much to say that the house will be ransacked immediately, but with the
Come here, Master, it will be no problem to catch a few murderers and bring them back to Blackwater Tower."
"As for whether I can come out alive after entering the Black Water Tower, I can't guarantee it! There's no point in ransacking homes, I still like killing people! I was a little regretful that I didn't strip off the clothes of the Zhao family women last time in the black prison.
I want to try it this time!”
Zhao Gongquan was furious, his beard and hair were trembling, and he pointed angrily: "How dare you!"
He didn't expect that beating this guy to vent his anger would lead to trouble.
Shao Pingbo: "Master Zhao, I allowed you to beat and scold you like this, and I knelt in front of your son's tomb to apologize. I came here with sincerity. Please make your words clear. What must I do before you are willing to let my people go?"
Let’s talk about the price!”
"Let your man go?" Zhao Gongquan was stunned, quickly calmed down, and then sneered. Sure enough, he suspected that this guy was here for this matter, but he didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative to give money to those little people.
Come and be humiliated.
His eyes flickered, and the sword in his hand slowly hit the ground, "A price? What price? You are living under someone else's roof and have no power. How much money do you have in your salary? You will not kill yourself or anything like that.
promise."
Shao Pingbo: "If there are any conditions that can be put forward, we can discuss them if they can be discussed, and if they cannot be discussed, let them go!"
"Conditions?" Zhao Gongquan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking, suddenly turned around, his eyes fell on his son's spiritual tablet, remembering why his son died, he raised his hand to stroke his beard, and hummed: "Master Shao, didn't I say that?
You, the seventh princess is willing to marry you, which is a good thing that no one can ask for, but you just don't know how to behave. As a minister, you should take the emperor's salary as your own, so you should share your worries and clear the innocence of the seventh princess.
Can you refuse? This is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone!"
As soon as these words came out, Shao Sansheng's breathing became rapid. Knowing what the other party's conditions were, he became nervous and stared at Shao Pingbo, wondering how he would reply.
Shao Pingbo's cheeks tightened, his Adam's apple twitched for a while, and finally he sneered: "Absurd! Can I clear the innocence of the seventh princess if I marry her?"
Zhao Gongquan stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Whether it is possible or not is one thing, but whether you are willing to share your worries is another."
Shao Pingbo's lips tightened for a while, then he suddenly asked: "Is this the condition?"
Zhao Gongquan turned his head to look and said with a ferocious smile: "That's the condition!"
Shao Pingbo: "You agreed, how many other adults can listen to you?"
Zhao Gongquan: "Other adults care more about Master Shao and don't care about those little shrimps. As long as Master Shao is willing to share your worries, the other old men can agree on your behalf."
Shao Pingbo: "When will they be released?"
Zhao Gongquan: "It depends on when you propose marriage to His Majesty. If you can appear in the court tomorrow morning to propose marriage to His Majesty, I guarantee that all your people will be fine within three days. If you delay it for too long, you have already done justice.
If you take care of it, I won’t be able to help you anymore.”
Shao Pingbo: “What I want is for the innocent officer to be reinstated!”
Zhao Gongquan: "Do you think this matter is difficult for the senior officials of the Manchu Dynasty? With just one sentence, other people who have neglected their duties will be found and punished!"
Shao Pingbo gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Okay! Tomorrow morning, I will go to court to propose marriage!" After saying that, he tossed his cloak, turned around and strode away.
Shao Sansheng, whose face was full of grief and anger, quickly followed.
Zhao Gongquan, who was holding the sword, walked to the door and said cheerfully: "Master Shao, have a good journey. I won't send you far away!" He was very happy in his heart.
As soon as Shao Pingbo came out of the yard, two Heishuitai personnel waiting outside saw that he had slap marks on his face, tea stains on his body, blood on half of his face, and scratches on his neck. They were shocked and asked urgently: "Sir, what's going on?
?”
Shao Pingbo strode forward and said, "I bumped into it myself!"
How could he have crashed like this? One person said angrily: "Why don't you say hello to me if something happens to you? I, the Black Water Tower, governs the capital on the inside and controls all directions on the outside. Who dares to act rashly? Master Zhao dares to do this, which is too disrespectful to our ancestors."
Take it seriously!"
Shao Pingbo stopped talking, but this behavior attracted many people to point fingers along the way, and also attracted other servants of the Zhao family to watch the fun.
"Isn't it arrogant?"
"Hey, you dare to bully the people below, but you don't have to be like this in front of the master."
There were constant cynicism and sarcasm all the way, and Shao Pingbo remained very calm. On the contrary, the two people from Heishuitai gritted their teeth and followed these taunts all the way.
After leaving the gate of the Zhao Mansion, Shao Pingbo quickly boarded the carriage, but there was a bang from behind. Looking back, it turned out that the gift he had brought to pay homage had been thrown out by the servants of the Zhao Mansion.
Shao Pingbo just glanced at it, lifted the car curtain and got in, saying, "Pick it up, don't waste it. If you meet hungry people on the road, give it to them."
Shao Sansheng then turned around to pick it up, patted the dust on the things, wiped his tears before climbing into the carriage.
This stingy look of being reluctant to part with things immediately aroused the laughter of the servants who crowded at the door of the Zhao Mansion.
The two Blackwater Platform personnel got on their horses, glanced coldly, one of them picked his fingers in his mouth, blew a whistle, and a group of people immediately jumped out from all around to protect the carriage and leave.
Last time I came on horseback with a murderous look, but this time I came by horse and carriage, very low-key.
In the swaying carriage, Shao Sansheng was unwilling to give in. "Since the eldest son has the means to arrest the other party's family members and threaten them in prison, why do he agree to this humiliating condition?"
Shao Pingbo closed his eyes and said slowly: "Others are unwilling to let go of those students. What's the use of threatening this family? It will only make those students suffer more and die faster!"
PS: Everyone can spend their monthly tickets casually. If it’s over 5,000 here, I’d be more respectful if I added more, so do it!
