Hearing that the person in the car didn't answer for a long time, Ah Liu remembered that Zhang Shou often commented that his character was easy to talk to death, so he couldn't help but think about it carefully, and then continued: "Has His Highness the Crown Prince eaten?
"He thought about the second half of the sentence, but still didn't say it - if you haven't eaten yet, lunch will be sent to you later. Why don't you eat at the public school and then go back?
The person in the car still didn't answer, but after a moment, there was a sound of tapping on the wall of the car. Immediately afterwards, one of the Ruiqiying guards who had let Ah Liu over before came forward and bowed in front of the car door.
He reached out and took a letter from the car the next moment. Immediately afterwards, he delivered the letter directly to Ah Liu.
Without the other party having to say anything, Ah Liu knew that this was definitely not a letter to him, it was definitely a letter to Zhang Shou. And the person in the car was most likely not the third prince. Although he was used to it when he saw the carriage just now
He made that judgment spontaneously and asked questions. At this time, the thick curtains and the carriage also blocked his instinct to detect the breath, but the other party's behavior made him vaguely aware that something was wrong.
He didn't say much. He took the letter and nodded slightly, then turned around and left. After entering the public school, he went straight to the second grade of Jiuzhang Hall. Just when he heard Zhang Shou's dismissal of get out of class, he walked quickly without hesitation. After going in and arriving in front of Zhang Shou, he handed over the letter. As for the cause and effect, he didn't mention a word.
Zhang Shou was naturally used to Ah Liu's simplicity and rudeness. Seeing that the letter was not sealed, he casually took out the letter, opened it and glanced at it, he was stunned.
Because although there was no signature on the letter, nor was it raised, but just looking at the content, you knew that it was not for him, but for someone else. On a thin piece of paper, there were only a few lines written: "Later
If you want to kill the second son and save the eldest son, the matter has been completed. Hongshan has become a great scholar in the world. Please plead the grievances of the second prince!"
Zhang Shou's mouth twitched, and then he held the letter and walked out without saying a word. When he got outside the door, Ah Liu took the initiative to follow him, and then he asked: "Who sent the letter? Where is he now?"
"On the carriage outside the public school."
After getting such a simple answer, Zhang Shou immediately walked out quickly without thinking. But when he came to the door, he found that it was beyond his imagination that the soldiers and horses of the Rui Cavalry Battalion were following the carriage.
He couldn't help but be a little stunned. His first reaction was that the third prince had left the palace incognito again, but when he thought about the content of the letter, he didn't think it was the case.
Therefore, after weighing it carefully, when he came to the carriage, he asked in a deep voice: "May I ask Madam Hong, if you want me to go to Yashe to persuade your father?"
Hong took advantage of the half-hour that he went to Ciqing Palace to teach the third prince how to draw. He handed over the letter from last night and reported it to the old servant of the family when he was with Princess Zhu Ying of Yongping. How he responded.
He told her the whole story of last night's letter. Sure enough, the third prince took her very seriously. Not only did he take her to see the emperor immediately, he also persuaded the emperor to allow her to leave the palace to see Zhang Shou.
At this time, Mrs. Hong in the carriage heard Zhang Shou bluntly reveal her identity and purpose of coming. She opened the curtain of the carriage and immediately knelt down and worshiped in the carriage with a sincere and solemn tone.
"My father is a broad-minded and unrealistic man, but he always attaches great importance to right and wrong. Usually when he was in Jiangxi, he would not care about upright officials and it was difficult to deal with household affairs, and he upheld justice for some wronged people many times, but that was all because of Lao Shanchanghe
I secretly sent people to make inquiries and conducted detailed investigations. Anyone who dared to take advantage of him was identified early, so he acts impartially and is naturally invincible."
"But this time it's different. I'm just worried that someone will not only send me a letter, but also take action on his side. When he gets angry, others will take advantage of him and make a big mistake. Although there are other ways to stop him,
I am afraid that only you, Xueshie Zhang, can convince him. Even if you scold him until he is convinced, it is better than being induced to write a letter and talk nonsense."
"You think too highly of me." Zhang Shouwei smiled bitterly, but considering that the Hong family could use such retinues, it was obvious that the emperor and the prince also expected so. He couldn't help but asked with a headache, "Isn't this true?
According to the evidence, would Mr. Hong Shan really be fooled like this?"
"The letter to me only contains these few words, but the letter to my father may not be the same. I don't know if someone sent it specially to me as a warning, or if there is another mystery, but at this time, I would rather believe it or not.
No. The emperor wanted to summon my father in person, but I persuaded him to stop."
"I know my father Mo Ruonv. His character is that he only believes what he sees and does not believe what others say. When his temper becomes stubborn, he feels that the emperor is forcing him to shut up. So I am worried that it will be self-defeating, so I can only plead
Your Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, please let me come out to see you, Academician Zhang. And..."
Mrs. Hong paused, then hesitated, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Besides, I am also worried that the letter to me said this, but the letter to my father said something else. My father taught me ***
His Highness is very dissatisfied with the painting, and he only thinks that he is treating the painter as a top-notch artist, so if the two sides say something different, I'm afraid I will only anger him. Otherwise, I plan to go there in person."
"If this can be a wake-up call to my father, not only me but also Yuzhang Academy will be grateful to you, Bachelor Zhang, for your generous kindness!"
Do you all think that I am a superman with a full set of skills? I am not an eminent monk from the Shaolin Temple, and I don’t know how to roar like a Buddhist lion! Moreover, I can pick up a ruler and teach the third and fourth princes a lesson simply and roughly, and I can also make Zhang Chen swing it
The ruler manages Banshan Hall obediently, but I can't possibly give Hong Shan a long beating, right?
Zhang Shou complained in his heart, but although he and Chief Hong Shan only celebrated holidays and had no friendship, the Hong family was a good person. The most important thing was that if Chief Hong Shan’s big mouth really commented on royal affairs casually, he might even be innocent.
The third prince will be brought in. He doesn't know whether the gentle and polite little prince will become something he hates in the future, but now he at least has a good impression of this little guy. So although he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business
, but this time I really couldn’t put it down.
The problem is, there has never been a shortage of this kind of self-righteous old scholar throughout the ages! Sometimes they are more difficult to deal with than real villains!
As for the soldiers of Ruiqiying who came out from the Hong family on orders, they only understood that the Hong family wanted Zhang Shou to persuade Hong Shan to do something. As for the specific details, they knew nothing about it. However, it was strange, but no one was too surprised.
Go and think about it carefully. After all, as a top soldier, you are supposed to do everything according to orders and don't have so many ideas. In other words, those who have too many ideas are not good soldiers.
So, when Zhang Shou finally agreed and Hong paid his respects again, the guard who had just received the letter and sent it to Ah Liu went to the front of the car and lowered the curtain. Immediately after, the man looked at Zhang Shou solemnly.
He bowed his head and saluted as a farewell. In a moment, it was clear how such a large group of people came and went, and the street in front of the public school became empty again.
As for other people in the public school, they also heard the commotion outside and wanted to watch the fun. However, Lu Wan restrained the gang of noble disciples in Banshan Hall, and the rest were intimidated by Ah Liuyi's guard. When they finally came out, the
There was no excitement at all, and they didn't even know what happened outside just now.
However, Zhang Shou did not immediately go to Yashe to ask Chief Hong Shan to give him a heads-up. Instead, he calmly waited for lunch to be delivered. Then he not only finished his portion in one go, but also went to Ah Liu to get half of it.
A flower roll. When he was sure that he had recharged his energy, he walked slowly in the public hall shared with Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan for a quarter of an hour to eat before planning to go out.
But as soon as he arrived at the door of the public hall before leaving, he heard Lu Wan, who had been silent behind him, suddenly say: "Scholar Zhang, a gentleman speaks with his words but never with his hands. You are a gentleman who has a sharp tongue, so you have always been...
There is no disadvantage, but sometimes even if you have the upper hand verbally, you may not necessarily win. At such times..."
Seeing Zhang Shou turning to look at him, Lu Wan smiled and said, "If you are right, beat the old master to death with random punches."
Did this proverb come into existence these days? Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing, but he bowed his hands to thank Lu Wan for reminding him, and strode out the door. Although he didn't know what kind of character Lu Wan, an old and cunning person, was.
The clues that came out were that he had just racked his brains and thought for a long time and came to the conclusion that the only way was to launch surprise troops first and then mess around.
Otherwise, if he is allowed to argue with an old stubborn man, he is simply mentally ill!
He boarded the car and entered the city again with a group of retinues, and stopped in front of the Yashe Gate where the mountain chiefs were being entertained. When Zhang Shou got off the car, he happened to see a familiar figure walking out with his head held high. It was none other than Hong Shan.
long!
The two looked at each other, it was like they were filled with old and new hatreds... That was of course nonsense. Of course Zhang Shou didn't have much hatred towards Chief Hong Shan, his defeated general, but Chief Hong Shan definitely felt different towards him.
As expected, he saw that Chief Hong Shan was stunned at first, then excited, then indifferent, and finally he walked straight towards him with a soft grunt, and walked away without even looking at him.
Sooner or later, Zhang Shou fished it out and grabbed Hong Shanchang's arm. Then, having practiced some small escape techniques with Ah Liu in the past few days, he easily let him
The person couldn't move, but his face still looked as if he had met an old friend, and looked calm and relaxed.
"Chief Hong Shan, what a coincidence, I happen to have something very important to ask you."
Chief Hong Shan felt that Zhang Shouna's grip on his hand was like an iron pincer, and he couldn't break free at all. He couldn't help shouting anxiously and angrily: "I have no friendship with you, and I have nothing to say to you!"
"Why are you so alienated? We all say that we are ministers of the same palace. We have also taught together at the Imperial Academy and Jingyan. How can we say that we have no friendship?" Zhang Shou calmly messed around, but smiled at Hong Shanchang.
Pulling onto his carriage, "Ah Liu just told me before that a very good shop opened in the food court next to Xinglong Tea House in the outer city..."
Hearing Zhang Shou call his name, Ah Liu's eyes flashed, and he immediately hummed: "Yes, it tastes good. It's just right to eat and talk at the same time."
However, at the same time as he said the words "good taste", the boy had already appeared on the other side of Hong Shanchang. He seemed to be holding Hong Shanchang's right elbow very naturally, and then gently touched a certain part.
bomb.
The next moment, Hong Shanchang, who was still trying to struggle, felt an indescribable numbness in his elbow. He was so shocked that he almost screamed, but then he heard a gloomy and cold voice next to his ear.
Voice: "Don't move, or you will bear the consequences!"
Before he had time to think clearly about the consequences of this self-responsibility, Hong Shanchang was quickly put into a car by the master and the servant - of course, if you want to call it a kidnapping, it is not a bad idea and sent away.
After everyone got on the bus, Ah Liu got out again and saw that the old servant who had just followed Hongshan out of the Yashe was dumbfounded, so he smiled at the person.
The young man didn't realize how scary his unnatural smile was. When he saw the old servant shivering and taking a step back, he coughed and said, "My young master invites Mr. Hong Shan to have a drink, and he will be sent back soon."
.”
Ah Liu, who was telling lies with his eyes open, completely ignored Zhang Shou and he. They were all full of wine and food. It was also past the time to eat. He nodded slightly and got into the carriage again, and the well-trained driver
As well as the ten guards from the Ruiqi Camp, even though they were a little dazzled by the scene just now, no one raised any objections, and they gathered around the carriage and left.
As for the stunned eyes in front of the Yashe Gate and the Hong family's old servant, it was not until long after the group of people whizzed away that they finally woke up one after another.
In public, Academician Zhang actually picked up Chief Hong Shan... No, it should be said that he was robbed, right?
However, seeing that there were not many people around, either whispering or confused, the two disciples looked at each other, and one immediately laughed and racked his brains to find a reason for Zhang Shou: "The daughter of the head of Hongshan heard that Zhenghe Zhang Shou was married."
My fiancée, Miss Zhu, works together, and Mr. Hong Shan and Zhang Xueshi are not acquainted with each other, so the two old acquaintances go out for a meal, isn't it natural?"
The other servant immediately coaxed the old servant in with a smile on his face. After convincing him to wait for Hong Shanchang to come back in the house, he immediately went to Xiao Shanchang and Xu Shanchang.
Rush over there. I remember that today, Master Yue Shan had left class in the afternoon, but these two people didn't seem to have gone out. As expected, he found the right one, and it turned out that the two mountain masters, who had some friendship, were playing chess.
He was not qualified to come forward and talk to the two emperors who treated each other politely, but something went wrong at this time. After talking to the two attendants, he finally came closer and handed over the thing just at the door.
The unbelievable thing was explained clearly. However, it elicited a long laugh from Xiao Shan.
"Although Academician Zhang has some youthful spirit, he has always been very measured in his actions. What you said when you comforted the old servant of the Hong family was right. Don't worry, he will definitely send you back before dusk."
Of course Zhang Shou knew that he had kidnapped Hong Shanchang in front of the Yashe Gate. This would definitely cause an uproar if word spread, and there would be no doubt how many people would attack him as if they had found the treasure. But in the situation just now, if you want to make it short and smooth, not
He had no second choice when arguing with others. At this moment, sitting in a moving carriage and seeing Chief Hong Shan's eyes as wide as copper bells, he smiled calmly at the person.
"Chief Hong Shan didn't yell and claim that I was the one who robbed you."
