Chapter 212 General Wang(1/2)
Outside the Zhang Mansion, twenty tables were placed in Cuiyun Lane, roasted chicken, braised elbows, braised carp, and dishes such as soup and meat slices were served up like running water. Neighbors could sit down and eat them, leaving after eating one table, and then change to another table to continue eating. This is the origin of the flowing mat.
In the Zhang Mansion, distinguished guests were arranged in eight courtyards, each with a rectangular low table for 18 people, and the dishes and snacks were arranged in a dazzling array.
Before the main table began, the invited officials gathered together to congratulate Zhang Zhuo and Chen Liqin one by one.
Chen Ji and Xiaoman stood side by side under a walnut tree in the corner of the courtyard, looking at Zhang Zhuo and Chen Liqin from afar, just like the sun and moon in Luocheng, guarded by stars.
Xiaoman asked in a low voice: "Young Master, how did you make friends with the Zhang family? It seems that you have a very good relationship. It is rumored that Miss Zhang Er is so fierce. She never gives outsiders a good look, and even wrote an invitation specifically."
Chen Ji said calmly: "Where are so many problems? You didn't like to inquire about things before."
Xiaoman widened his eyes: "Honor, have you forgotten? Xiaoman likes to ask about the Zhang family and the Li family's shortcomings, and have a meal."
Chen Ji: "...This is not a good habit."
Xiaoman curled his lips: "My aunt also loves listening to Zhang and Li family's shortcomings. I remember when I was a child, she went to the farmlands in the suburbs of Beijing to check the accounts. When she heard a group of old ladies at the entrance of the village gossip, she asked someone to move a chair and listen for the whole afternoon."
Chen Ji was puzzled: "What did they say?"
Xiaoman recalled: "First, I talked about the two old widowers in the village getting together in the middle of the night. I also said that the daughter-in-law of a certain household in the village was bought from Tongzhou. I also said that someone has no son, and his relatives may be terrible. My aunt was so excited at that time."
Chen Ji opened his mouth, but failed to catch up for a long time.
At this moment, I heard the servant outside the door sing the name again: "General Qiansheng Army King is here!"
The name of the Qiansui Army was like a sudden cold wind, which freezed the enthusiasm and festiveness of the Zhang Mansion a little. These three words reminded everyone of the war that had just passed, as if the smell of blood was still lingering in their breath.
Chen Ji turned his head and looked out the door, pulling Xiaoman's arm back towards the crowd.
Xiaoman looked at him in surprise: "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Chen Ji said calmly: "It's okay."
With the reputation of singing, General Wang walked over the red carpet. The other party was not wearing armor today, but was wearing a large black collar, a golden beam crown, and a thick soap boot. He was still powerful.
General Wang was followed by several soldiers, covered in armor and long swords hanging on his waist. The guests of the Zhang family almost thought that the Thousand-Sui Army would cause another new war.
Zhang Zhuo pushed away the crowd and joked from afar: "Why did General Wang come to our house to attend the banquet, and he also wears armor all over his body? Are you afraid that someone Zhang, I, may I beg you to murder?"
General Wang smiled and said in a rough voice: "Recently, some gangsters violated the ban with martial arts, so it's better to be careful."
Chen Ji lowered his head and thought, "The gangsters violated the ban with martial arts?" The other party was very cautious and led the soldiers to the banquet. Could it be that some people in the gangsters had assassinated him these days?
Yes, although Chen Ji made a big fuss in the military camp that day, he finally lost his way, but what he shouted in the military camp was finally heard and remembered in his heart.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. No matter how strict the discipline of the Qiansui Army is, General Wang’s reputation for betraying King Jing has been quietly spread among the people.
In the world, there must be a righteous man who cares about King Jing to avenge King Jing.
As Chen Ji thought about it, he pulled Xiaoman back and turned around without wanting to meet him.
But Zhang Zhuo was about to lead General Wang into the way, but he saw General Wang passing by the walnut tree where Chen Ji was, taking two steps, and retreating two steps.
He looked at Chen Ji's back and said in a deep voice: "Switch around."
Chen Ji was silent for a while and turned around and looked at the other party's gaze: "General Wang hasn't seen him for a long time."
General Wang said in a deep voice: "You actually dare to appear in front of me."
Chen Ji didn't expect that the other party would win the lead.
He thought for a few moments and smiled: "What is General Wang saying? Why don't I dare to appear in front of General Wang?"
General Wang said in a voice: "The prince treats you very well, and the prince and the princess are even more incompatible with you and are attracted to you. But what did you do? If you hadn't given evidence to the eunuch party, how could the prince be framed by the eunuch party? How could he die unjustly in prison?"
As soon as these words came out, the Zhang Mansion suddenly became quiet and the guests looked at each other.
Chen Ji stood in the eyes of dozens of people, as if facing dozens of spears pierced. It seemed that on the night when he was still in Longwangtun, autumn leaves fell from the branches, and behind the autumn leaves were enemies.
In the crowd, Chen Liqin also looked at Chen Ji. He did not expect that Chen Ji was involved in the plot against Prince Jing's mansion and was also suspected of betraying Prince Jing. Although Prince Jing has been punished for a serious crime of plotting against Prince Jing, with the reputation of Prince Jing, countless people stood on Prince Jing's side from the temple to the world, all of whom believed that Prince Jing's death was caused by the persecution of loyal and kindness by the eunuch party.
If the Chen family betrayed the reputation of King Jing, they would probably be despised by the world. Chen Liqin thought about it over and over again, and finally chose not to say a word.
Zhang Zhuo curled his smile and asked calmly: "General Wang, this is a guest invited by my Zhang family. Why do you say this? What does he have to do with the case of King Jing?"
General Wang snorted coldly: "Let him say it himself!"
Chen Ji frowned slightly.
General Wang was obviously worried about being revenge by the righteous men in the world, so he had to take the lead in public and pour all the sewage on himself.
But strangely, General Wang has surrendered to Bailong. Doesn’t the other party know that he wants to hide his identity as a secret spy and lurk in the Chen Mansion? How dare the other party reveal the secret in public?
Wait, the other party is not Bai Long's confidant, and he does not know everything. From General Wang's perspective, he is just an apprentice in Taiping Medical Center who once tried to save King Jing. The other party didn't even know that he was also a secret spy from the Secret Spy Department.
He never said where the blood letter came from that day, nor did he show his identity as a secret spy. Bai Long had originally planned to let him lurk in the Chen family and kept recruiting him, so he would never say anything more to General Wang.
General Wang didn't know that he had already joined Bailong's command.
Chen Ji understood this and said carelessly: "Why did General Wang say that I betrayed the prince? What evidence did I give to the eunuch party?"
General Wang sneered: "I don't know the specific matters, but an insider told me that because the prince trusted you, he asked you to hand me a blood letter with his own hands. But you were ungrateful, but you handed the blood letter to the eunuch party!"
Someone took a breath: "The Prince's Blood Book?! Why have you never heard of it?"
"What is written in the blood book? Is there any evidence of the prince's crime?"
"The prince has been serving the country and the people all his life, but was harmed by the eunuch party. Unexpectedly, a villain is betrayed!"
"Everyone who is traitorous will be punished!"
The crowd was excited, and the crowd was pointed at by thousands of people.
General Wang sneered, while Chen Liqin simply avoided the main hall of Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Zhuo closed his eyes and thought, trying to find a way to break the deadlock, but he could not think of how to clear Chen Ji's grievances for a moment. Zhang Xia pulled his sleeve and signaled him to find a way quickly, but it seemed impossible to break it at this time.
At this moment, Xiaoman was so angry that her face turned red. She pulled Chenji's sleeve: "Young Master, say something, you are not that kind of person."
Chen Ji was silent.
Xiaoman turned to General Wang and said angrily: "Don't slander my son. I have served him for many years. He is kind and is definitely not the traitor you call him!"
General Wang said calmly: "You know people, but you don't know your heart. I'm afraid the prince also thinks he is kind, so he entrusted the blood letter to him. Little girl, you are still young and you don't know how to know people."
Xiaoman held it in for a long time: "...you fart!"
While speaking, Chen Ji's thoughts were heard: The most urgent task at this time is to clear his own crime, but how should he argue?
Can you tell me about this? No, once told me about it, his identity as a secret spy cannot be covered, and the Chen family cannot stay. The reason why Bai Long values himself is the identity of the Chen family. If he is useless, he may be difficult to save Bai Li.
So, can you pour sewage back on General Wang? Nor can you.
If he said that the blood letter was handed over by General Wang to the Secret Spies Department, others would ask himself a small apprentice how he learned about it.
Moreover, General Wang is a Qiansui Army General who has always been loyal to King Jing. He is just a small apprentice in a clinic. Who would you believe?
Furthermore, if the other party is prepared, it is not guaranteed to be prepared in this matter. If you fight back from here, you may fall into the trap of the other party.
I can only find another way to find something that General Wang could not refute.
Chen Ji thought for a long time in the crowd, and finally said, "Where did General Wang learn about the blood letter?"
General Wang wrapped his arms around his chest: "Don't worry about how I learned it, let's talk about whether there is any such thing?"
Chen Ji said: "There is indeed a blood letter from the prince."
General Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Liqin in the main hall paced back and forth, thinking about how to prevent Chen's family from getting involved in this matter.

The officials outside the main hall were noisy: "What is written in the blood book?"
"How can Shuzi betray King Jing and join the eunuch party?"
Chen Ji slowly spoke: "The blood letter is indeed true, but the matter is different from what General Wang said."
General Wang raised his eyebrows: "Where does the blood letter come from?"
Chen Ji carefully thought about whether there were any mistakes in his words, and then slowly spoke: "On that day, my master, Prince Jing, Prince, and Princess, I was placed under house arrest by the eunuch party in the Liu family's mansion. Later, because my master had treated my leg disease for the internal minister, the eunuch party released me. Before leaving, the prince stuffed me a blood letter and asked me to send it to the capital for His Majesty."
General Wang was a little surprised. He was waiting for Chen Ji to tell the matter out, and then refute it and prove it with someone. However, he did not expect that Chen Ji did not fight back against him, but made up a new story.
However, no one mentioned in Chen Ji's words can prove it.
He frowned and asked, "Then why did this blood book come to the hands of the eunuchs?"
Chen Ji explained: "Since I and my master went out, I was searched by the eunuchs."
General Wang sneered: "How could I know that you didn't take the initiative to hand over the blood letter to seek prosperity and prosperity?"
Chen Ji said calmly: "Because of that blood book, it cannot be proved by King Jing's crime of rebellion, and even if you hand it over, you cannot get wealth and honor."
Zhang Zhuo came back to his senses: "What exactly is written in the blood book?"
Chen Ji was about to speak, but General Wang interrupted: "Wait a minute, can we believe what he said? Now none of us knows the content of the blood book, and we just make it up just by making it up just by his empty words?"
Chen Ji thought about it and said, "The prince wrote a poem. I have recorded most of the content of the poem. As for whether it is fabricated and whether it can constitute the prince's crime, it will be judged by you."
Zhang Zhuo waved his hand: "Get the pen and ink!"
Zhang Zheng ran into the house in a hurry and ran back with Zhang Xia holding a study table.
