Chapter 145 Changes in the Wind and Clouds (Part 1)
. "Hey, didn't you ask you to serve tea?" Wang Xian frowned and said, "Why did you come here until now?"
"Sir, something happened." Zhu Qiang wiped the sweat from his face and said carefully: "Because some people started to make trouble in the closed city gate, and the more they made trouble, the more fierce the guards guarding the city were a little unable to resist it."
Wang Xian said in a daze: "Who can so many soldiers be afraid of? Let them ignore it if there is any quarrel, they will catch me directly!"
"They are already here." Zhu Qiang whispered: "These people seem to be from the Suzhou Envoy Bureau and they are clamoring to bring things out of the city and say that they are all presented to His Majesty. If we delay, the consequences will be borne by us."
"Hmph." Wang Xian laughed unconsciously and said, "This Zhu Xie is really powerful. Even his subordinates don't take me seriously, but I want to go over and see the majesty of these people."
"Although Zhu Xie was born with a ruffian, his subordinates who were very favored by the emperor were naturally domineering." Hong Dinghai sighed and said, "But as the prefect, you are naturally afraid of you, but don't make trouble, otherwise it will not be good for you."
"I will naturally pay attention." Wang Xian smiled and said again: "I'll send the old man back first."
"No need to go over and see those people." Hong Dinghai said slowly, "Remember to find me in the future."
Wang Xian nodded and then walked to the front hall. He saw two people sitting inside, as if saying something. When Wang Xian walked in, they didn't notice it and then heard a cough and raised their eyes. They saw a young man sitting in the upper position. They looked at each other and stood up and saluted, "Secretary Song Fu, Song Shou pays homage to the prefect."
"Well, there is no need to be too polite." Wang Xian smiled softly and said, "I just heard that you two are from Lord Zhu of Suzhou?"
"Yes, our two brothers are indeed Lord Zhu's subordinates." The two nodded and said carefully: "Sir, we came to Jiangning Mansion to come to collect flower stones under Lord Zhu's order. Now the goods of the goldware are ready to leave the city, but I heard that there are spies from Khitan coming to Jinling, so the city gate is blocked and only allowed to enter but not leave. I wonder, right?"
Wang Xian laughed and said, "Some thieves are indeed coming, but don't worry, I have sent heavy troops to search and will not put any danger to everyone."
"But we can't wait, sir." Song Fu hesitated and said, "We have been in Jiangning Mansion for a long time. Today is the last day and we have to leave the city and return to Suzhou. Otherwise, Lord Zhu will definitely be punished."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "Why should I be anxious to stay here for so many days? Can't I wait for more time? When this matter is over, I will send someone to send you back."
"Sir, we two are not Khitan spies, so why can't we go out of the city?" Song Shou said with some dissatisfaction at this time: "What's more, these things are all submitted to the emperor. We cannot delay and ask the elders to let them go!"
Song Fu was stunned and immediately glared at Song Shou next to him, but he heard Wang Xian laugh and said, "Well, since you don't want to stay in Jinling, I won't force you to let you go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were overjoyed and immediately laughed: "Then can I leave with my things?"
"Yes, people can leave, but keep those things." Wang Xian said with a smile.
Song Shou was stunned and said angrily: "Didn't you deliberately make things difficult for us? My brothers came to Jiangning Mansion to purchase flower stone and goldware. Now I don't let us take it away. So how can I get a job with Lord Zhu?"
When Song Fu heard this, he immediately felt that they were just sent by Zhu Xie to Jiangning to purchase it. This young man was the prefect of the county. It can be said that his status was very different. Unexpectedly, his younger brother was so polite and said in a very hard way. He quickly shouted in a low voice: "Stop talking, second brother!"
"Very very good." Wang Xian clapped his hands and sneered: "Since you don't want to leave, I'll keep you here!"
Several yamen runners suddenly appeared at the door and all walked in.
Song Fu and Song Shou looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little nervous and said quickly: "My second brother is just talking nonsense, don't be angry. Lord, I heard that you are very good with Mr. Cai in the court, and Mr. Cai and our Lord Zhu are also very good. We were sent by Mr. Zhu. We can be said to be a family."
"Well, I won't say two families, I will treat you well." Wang Xian smiled and then said solemnly: "Please these two people in prison."
"You... you dare to lock us up and we were sent by Lord Zhu!" Zhu Shou was pulled by the yamen runners and shouted: "I will definitely report to Lord Zhu to ask him to report to the court to remove you!"
"Okay, let Zhu Xie report to the court." Wang Xian laughed and then said, "But you two want to be blessed first, and take it down!"
"You...I will definitely tell Lord Zhu!" Zhu Shou's voice came from afar and Wang Xian suddenly said in his heart: "Take that Zhu Shou up slowly."
Zhu Shou was immediately happy and walked into the hall again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wang Xian say, "Call him and see if he still has the strength to speak! Drag and beat him until he can't speak, then take him to the prison!"
After hearing this, the yamen runners immediately took action and threw Zhu Shou to the ground and dragged it down for a while, they heard a few muffled screams coming and lowered.
"Hmph Zhu Xie is really becoming more and more domineering." Wang Xian sat down and took a sip of tea before saying to Zhu Qiang beside him: "You go and send someone to seize the Song brother's goods to the yamen and I will check it out at that time."
Zhu Qiang nodded and said, "Sir, should you add more people to protect the yard during this period? After all, the master and the others are all in the backyard and here is built on the mountain. If there are any bad people coming in to scare the master and the others, why not send more soldiers to protect the yard?"
"No need." Wang Xian thought for a while before saying, "If you call Li Rui over again, you will tell him to speak at my house."
At this time, he walked into the yard and looked at the rustling trees and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
