Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty - #4681 - Vol 4 Chapter 4339: 2 Friends watch the punishment

On the third day, the gate of the Taimiao was crowded with people.

Wang Hong was wearing an official robe, standing among the crowd, while Zhang Shao was standing side by side with him, both of them frowned slightly, it was late afternoon, and the officials who came here had just witnessed a scene at Caishikou. At the execution site, some timid officials who had never seen a murder, their faces were still pale at the moment, just like Wang Hong’s now.

Zhang Shao looked at Wang Hong, who was pale and trembling slightly, and said with a smile: “Xiu Yuan (Wang Hong’s character), you have also been on the battlefield, why did you see how many people were killed just now, so you were afraid of this?” ?”

Wang Hong settled down, glanced left and right, and made sure that no one could hear the two of them except a few guards. He whispered: “I said Maozong (Zhang Shao’s word), you are making fun of me all day, aren’t you? You clearly knew that I hadn’t fought the demon thief at all, but when I heard He Wuji’s battle report, I avoided it for the time being. Didn’t see the battle, is this deliberately entertaining me?”

Zhang Shao smiled and waved his hand: “I understand, I understand. You saw that you killed someone today, and you thought that Wei Shunzhi, who ran away before the battle, was chopped down in the same way the day before yesterday, so you were scared, right?” He smiled even more Satisfied, he patted Wang Hong’s shoulder while laughing, and even aroused the side-eyes of some people around ten steps away.

Angry and ashamed, Wang Hong shook off Zhang Shao’s hand: “You bastard’s broken mouth, I can’t wait to sew it up with a needle. This is a public place, and it’s not like we drink and watch the moon, or It’s the time when I’ve been bragging and farting when I’m on duty. Familiarity is familiarity, if you expose me like this again, I will turn against you like this.”

Zhang Shao patted Wang Hong’s back with a smile, and said in a low voice, “Okay, I’m not joking anymore. Xiuyuan, you are in a different situation from Wei Shunzhi. He was beheaded mainly because he led the soldiers and left The friendly army and subordinates fled and refused to save them. This is a violation of military law. You are a civil servant. He Zhengnan even recruited the government servants and guards under your command. He also ordered that if the battle ahead is defeated, you civil servants can withdraw at random. This military law is true. If you can’t deal with it on your head, you can rest assured.”

Only then did Wang Hong calm down, and glared at Zhang Shao bitterly: “What you said is a bit human, but, you hurt me like this just now, and you have to treat me to dinner at least twice later, no, at least You have to treat me to three meals of salted duck to soothe my hurt heart!”

Zhang Shao laughed: “Okay, I promise you, you kid, you learned nothing else from Liu Changshi, but you learned a lot about his gluttony. I can’t be friends with you anymore.”

Wang Hong said proudly: “In life, eating and drinking come first, and you can’t treat your stomach badly. You said that when our brother was working under Liu Changshi, he had to act as an agent every day. After the hour, if it wasn’t for relying on There are always delicious food to support us, how can we survive? Our Liu Changshi has a lot of things to do every day, and at least nine of the twelve hours are at work. If we don’t eat more, our body will collapse early. Let’s eat more It’s also for business, for the country, not for yourself, right.”

Zhang Shao sighed softly: “Yes, it’s a pity that our fat Zhuge is not here. You see, what kind of dog or cat dares to make trouble at this time. Even the son of Sima Yuanxian , all fell from the sky, and any fool knows what it is for.”

Wang Hong frowned: “I haven’t calmed down yet. What’s going on? Didn’t even Princess Kuaiji confirm that the token was given by her back then?”

Zhang Shao hooked the corners of his mouth in disdain: “It’s true that the token was given by her, but how could she recognize the child who was not even born that year? Didn’t Xie Hui say that, and interrogated those who brought their children here to visit relatives?” The guy who asked the way, they finally confessed that he was a child stolen from the Di people tribe in the Dabie Mountains, a stolen token, and a bag was dropped. The real son of Sima Yuanxian, Sima Xiuxi, died in his mother’s womb a long time ago Lila. This is a fake, they want to take the opportunity to get it back for riches.”

Wang Hong shook his head, his brows were still tightly locked: “I don’t think it’s right. If you wanted to be rich, why did you go there before? When the world was peaceful for so many years, you didn’t come back to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan to seek wealth. Now the demon The army of thieves is suppressing the land, and now they can go from Dabie Mountain to Jiankang City to seek wealth? You have to know what was the excuse for the thieves to raise their troops? It was because Sima Yuanxian wanted to conscript troops for the Northern Expedition, and made all the peasants in Wu land happy Joining the army in the name of his vassal, this caused the chaos of demons and thieves that lasted for more than ten years. They should hate Sima Yuanxian’s family the most. At this time, they came back to recognize Sima Yuanxian as their father. Not only did they inherit the king of Kuaiji, Maybe it’s also the monstrous blood feud, once Jiankang is broken, he will die terribly!”

Zhang Shao nodded: “You’re right. It’s not a good thing for a grandson of Kuaiji to appear at this time, and the concubine of Kuaiji actually recognized a grandson who had never met before. Don’t you think this is too hasty? Is it weird?”

A cold light flashed in Wang Hong’s eyes: “Recognizing your grandson is only the first step. Concubine Wang Taifei of Kuaiji was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and this branch has long been associated with Wang Guobao and Wang Yu. Huilong, the only Miao Wang left, defected to Houqin and became a national traitor. The concubine of Kuaiji also escaped catastrophe only because she married Sima Daozi. Now, both the Kuaiji king and the Taiyuan Wang family have lost their children and grandchildren, and have no successors. Now, she recognizes such a grandson, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, no matter it is true or not, I am afraid that she also wants to revive these two families, at least there is hope of revival.”

Zhang Shao sneered and said, “If it was in peacetime, it would be possible for such a grandson to pass on the title and continue his wealth if he came back, but now, I’m afraid it’s a different matter. Liu Tingyun will definitely have other accomplices, even That Tiandao League is also hidden in the shadows, I think this is a means of their conspiracy.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shao looked at Xie Hun who was standing in the front row without saying a word, and Xi Sengshi who stood at the other end deliberately keeping a distance from him, and said coldly: “I heard that yesterday Xi Sengshi Secretly went to Liu Yi’s camp, while Xie Hun went to Miyagi to meet Mrs. Xie directly. I don’t think it’s a simple reminiscence, and the matter of Kuaiji Wang Taifei’s recognition of her grandson also happened at this time. Hmph , maybe they have something to do with it!”

Wang Hong shook his head: “Okay, this is the end of the matter. Princess Kuaiji saw the beheading of these guards who brought Sima Xiuxi with her own eyes, and she fainted from anger. Xie Hui also announced the confessions of these people. To say that they are deserters, bandits, who want to cheat money, Wang Doufei is also eager for grandchildren, and was fooled for a while, as for these people who have no background, they are just trying to make money, that is to say, this case ends here and will not be pursued.”
