Chapter 68 The Secret Plan
Chapter 68 Secret plan
The three of them were captured, and they only needed to send a few yamen runners, and there was no need for Chen Qi to go there in person. But this was Chen Zairong's family who ran around the East Palace, and Chen Qi did not dare not come in person. Chen Wanrong hurriedly welcomed him to the ceremony: "I have met Lord Shen."
Chen Que held it up: "Brother Wanrong, don't be hindered by these common etiquettes. You can clean up." He ordered, walked quickly to Wang Shaohua, clasped his fists and said, "I have met Prince Wang."
Wang Shaohua returned the gift: "Wang Shaohua has met Lord Shen."
Chen Wanrong knew where Wang Shaohua came from and he had great power. He knew Shen Que. Chen Wanrong was a little unexpected. Judging from Wang Shaohua's attitude, he respected Chen Que. Could it be that Chen Que and him were together? It is very likely. If this is the case, he would have many conveniences.
Wang Shaohua clasped his fists at Chen Wanrong and said, "Brother Chen, can you lend me a room? Lord Shen and I haven't seen each other for many days, so we have to have a good chat."
He wanted to have a secret conversation with Shen Que, so he found such an excuse, meaning not to disturb me. Chen Wanrong also understood, and smiled and said, "Please."
King Chen and the others accused themselves of their crimes, entered the house together and closed the door. Zheng Qing blinked her eyes and whispered in Chen Wanrong's ear: "Brother Chen, what are they talking about?"
Who knows about this? Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zheng Qing smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, what have you talked to Prince Wang?" Miaomu looked at Chen Wanrong, looking forward to it.
This is the original intention. She is really interested. She has to lay the foundation before asking a question. With her delicate heart, Chen Wanrong had to admire her and smiled and said, "It's nothing. The prince told me that these people can be killed without any worries, and there is no need to be afraid of getting into trouble."
This was obviously beyond her expectations, and she asked in surprise: "Brother Chen, where are these people coming from?"
Chen Wanrong told the truth: "It is related to a priest around Princess Taiping, and I don't know the specifics. They have committed crimes in this area, cheated people of money, and robbed good women."
Thinking of the tall and thin man seeing his lustful appearance, Zheng Qing felt disgusted and said hatefully: "What a wicked man!"
Just listening to Wang Shaohua's words, Chen Wanrong couldn't believe it. When he met the three of them, he realized that Wang Shaohua had not told any lies. He nodded and agreed, "Yes. They deserved it."
When the yamen runners saw the three of them, they were as surprised as if they saw a devil. They had seen all kinds of strange ways to punish people, not to mention torture, and they had never seen such a thing as corroding people with strong alkali solutions. They were even more extraordinary than torture with a knife, and they would not be surprised.
After being stunned, the yamen runners were about to go to the lock and get the three of them. The three of them fainted from the pain, and they couldn't escape even if they didn't lock and get the lock. It was just that this was a formality and had to be done.
Chen Wanrong hurriedly reminded: "Don't touch it with your hands."
The headmaster hurriedly stopped everyone and asked, "But I was poisoned?" In his impression, he could not touch unless he was poisoned.
"No." Chen Wanrong knew that he had no common sense in chemistry, and he didn't understand even if he explained it to him, so he simply didn't say: "When he met them, he would be the same as them."
The three of them still had some alkali liquid on their bodies, and they would be in trouble when they were touched. When they heard this, the yamen runner hurriedly stepped back.
"Mr. Chen, how should I deal with this? Please tell me, Ou Sheng is very grateful." The captain Ou Sheng bowed his fists. He neither used poison nor torture, so he made people like this. Although Ou Sheng was knowledgeable, he was still confused. He could do nothing except seeking help from Chen Wanrong.
This method is too simple, and Chen Wanrong blurted out without thinking, "Give some water, pour it on them, and rinse it."
The three of them were all wet, so I needed to flush water? Ou Sheng was in a doubt, but Lin Zun was still wrong and asked the yamen runners to dig some well water and poured it on the three of them.
After a few buckets of water were gone, Ou Sheng looked at Chen Wanrong and waited for Chen Wanrong to agree. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "It's OK to lock it."
Ou Sheng waved his hand, and the iron chains of the yamen runners trembled, locking the three of them to a solid point. With a rinse of water, the remaining alkali was washed away. Although the pain was still unbearable, the three of them could already withstand it. They woke up slowly, started a stern and shouted: "Let me go! Let me go!"
Ou Sheng smashed his back on the thin tall man with a knife and shouted: "Bold bandits have been involved in the hands of officials and officials are talking nonsense."
The tall and thin man didn't take the official account seriously at all. He raised his head and thrust his chest, and shouted fiercely: "Dog official, if you dare to touch a grandpa's hair, grandpa will let you die without a place to bury."
Ou Sheng flew up and kicked the tall and thin man on the chin. The kick was quite powerful, and he kicked a fight. The tall and thin man was not showing any weakness at all. He opened his mouth and bleeding, but he still scolded: "You damn bastard, you have the ability to beat my grandfather to death."
The other two people also showed their usual behavior. They did not take the yamen runners' loudly shouting seriously and scolded them. They attracted a fierce fist. Although the fist, the back of the knife, was powerful, and the thumping sounded at the body, they did not scare them at all, and the scolding became louder.
After a while of fighting, Ou Sheng's hand was sore, he shook his hands and cursed: "Damn, he's so thick-skinned!" Several other yamen runners were also breathing heavily.
The three of them were beaten to the ground, like a dog with their bodies shrunk, their mouths and noses were covered with blood, and they were still shouting and scolding.
What is a bandit? This is a bandit, not afraid of death!
The door creaked open, and Shen Qie and Wang Shaohua stood at the door, watching the three of them shouting and cursing, and frowned. How can such a fearless person be interrogated? Shen Qi has tried many cases, but he has never seen such a fearless person, and he can't frown.
Chen Wanrong said coldly: "You are very good-mouthed, you are not afraid of death, you are awesome! I'll give you a cold bath, how about it?"
The tall and thin person doesn't care about the official lie, but he is extremely afraid of Chen Wanrong's hot alkali solution. The back of his fist hits his body is just a skin trauma and can tolerate it. The hot alkali solution is sucked into his body, but it hurts from his bones and eyes. It is unbearable and unbearable. It is impossible not to be afraid of it.
"It's not your business!" The tall and thin eyes couldn't see it, and shouted in the direction where Chen Wanrong's voice came.
He was not confident enough, obviously because he was afraid, but he still had to speak stubbornly. Ou Sheng looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise and asked, "Mr. Chen, what did you use to subdue them?"
"Don't say it!" The short fat man shouted. A sentence was exchanged for a big fist of the yamen runner and smashed it to the ground.
Chen Wanrong pointed to the clay tank and said, "That's that thing."
Ou Sheng walked to the edge of the clay tank and took a look, and his nose twitched a few times: "What is this? There is alkaline smell and lime. Yes, this idea is good. Let's pour it into his stomach. Brothers, search the guys!"
The yamen runners responded with a loud bang, walked around, pretending to be like giving them a gift.
"You dare!" The three of them shouted in unison, without saying anything else, which brought a burst of hilariousness from the yamen runners.
The three of them didn't know what the alkaloid was, but they knew how powerful the lime was. If they were poured into their stomachs and rotten from the internal organs, they really couldn't survive or die. They didn't know how much suffering they had to suffer to die. Although the three of them were extremely fierce, they had to be afraid.
They are bandits, and they have suffered a lot of fists and knife backs, not to mention skin trauma. They have been trained to have thick skin and flesh, so they naturally don’t care. But the internal organs are rotten, which is too vicious. It is the right method. If you don’t have to be afraid, you have to be afraid.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wanrong, who was gentle and gentle, calmed the three of them with a faint sentence. Chen Que really expected that he came to Chen Wanrong and bowed his fists and said, "Brother Wanrong, please borrow a step to speak."
Chen Wanrong responded and followed Chen Que and Wang Shaohua into the house. After entering the house, Chen Que closed the door and then said, "Brother Wanrong, I just heard Lord Wang tell the story about the incident. You have captured three bandits and eliminated the harm for the people."
In front of everyone's face, he called Mr. Wang Shaohua, but in the room he called Mr. Wang. I guess Wang Shaohua is a person with fame. Chen Wanrong knew that Wang Shaohua was quite famous, but he didn't know what rank he was in.
"Mr. Shen's words are so serious, it's just a simple task." Chen Wanrong still maintained his usual modesty style.
Chen Que continued: "If Brother Wanrong hadn't been skillful in his methods, no one could have managed such a fierce bandit. Chen Que was the lord of Ning County, but he didn't know that there was such a villain in Ning County, which was really a dereliction of duty. Chen Que thanked him here!" He bowed deeply.
Chen Wanrong hurriedly went to the side, indicating that he did not dare to accept his tribute, and stopped him and said, "Mr. Shen, don't do this, this is a scattering me."
"I thank you for those suffering masters." Chen Qie then stood up and said, "Although these evil people have done so many evil things, there is no evidence yet, and it is difficult to condemn their death sentence. Brother Wan Rong, you have to come forward and make a confession."
Even if Chen Wanrong came forward to accuse the three of them, at most they would be charged with forcing a house to break into a private house. They would be punished and closed for a while, and they would not even be affected by the death penalty. His meaning was to ask Chen Wanrong to commit perjury to make the death penalty easier, but he was an official and could not say it explicitly, but could only imply.
Although frame-up is not a normal method, it is pleasant to use such evil people. But they found the wrong person. Chen Wanrong said seriously: "I admire Lord Shen's desire to eliminate harm for the people. I just want to forgive me for saying that the three of them are doing here are big or small. It's just a little thing. At most, they will beat the board and close it for a while. If you want to cure the death penalty, please forgive me for being powerless."
"That's right. Lord Wang and I discussed it for a long time, but there was no way. Then I asked Brother Wanrong to discuss it together." Chen Que said helplessly: "These evil people cheat people of money and rob good women. Their evil deeds are numerous, and even if they die ten times, it is considered light. But there is one thing, we don't have much time, so we have to deal with it quickly."
Chen Wanrong felt suspicious when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Shen, where do you start with this?"
Wang Shaohua took over the conversation and said, "This matter is dealt with slowly, and the princess will not interfere. But this alchemist will definitely interfere. He is very powerful in the court and must use some means to save his accomplices. Therefore, Lord Shen and I discussed it and must deal with it as soon as possible. Therefore, we don't have time to verify many things, so we want to ask Wanrong to be a personal certificate."
Princess Taiping’s people were very popular, not to mention that they were the popular alchemists in the Tang Dynasty. They were highly respected when walking among princes and princes. It was just a word to save a few people.
It is certainly a good thing to eliminate harm for the people, but it is a bit unhappy to make perjury. Besides, as long as you stand up and testify, it is tantamount to telling the alchemist that this is what I did, isn’t it to cause trouble?
Being a "martyr" has a high reputation, but the price is too high and it is not cost-effective. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I appreciate the kindness of the two sirs. But how can I do this kind of thing?"
Chen Que had extraordinary eyesight and smiled and said, "Are Brother Wanrong worried about revenge? Even if you don't come out to testify, you think he doesn't know? With today's incident, you can hide for a while and not for a lifetime. Sooner or later, it's better to take an offensive and eliminate all evil things!"
The words were good, but Chen Wanrong was really hard to accept this kind of perjury. After thinking about it, he said, "I'm not afraid, but I just couldn't accept it in my heart."
Wang Shaohua kept shook his head and said, "Brother Chen is really a gentleman, but this gentleman has to look at people. If you are too gentleman to him, it will cause harm. It is better to be a villain once."
Chen Wanrong also understood this principle. After thinking about it, it was still difficult to do it. He shook his head and said, "I can't do it. Otherwise, the person has been captured and locked in prison, and he will die if he is dead. It's not just Lord Shen's words. It's easy to find a licence, but he failed to escape from prison, or died of serious injuries. What excuses are easy to use, Lord Shen just finds one."
Chen Que hurriedly covered Chen Wanrong's mouth and stamped his feet in anger: "Brother Wanrong, don't talk nonsense. I am a court official, how can I do such a thing?"
Obviously, he wanted to make a mess and dressed up as a saint. Chen Wanrong threw a long list of swear words to him, spread his hand open, and said very seriously: "Mr. Shen, what I said may not be very nice, but it is all the truth. You can think about it yourself."
Chen Que stomped his feet and pointed at Chen Wanrong and scolded: "Oh, Brother Wanrong! If you kill the three of them, I will say at most that you will fail, it will be a pain. But if you captured the three of them alive and handed them to me, I can't kill them directly, right? I am an official of the court, not a bandit, and you have to follow the law and the rules of conduct!"
Chen Wanrong really wanted to ask him back, "Since you have to follow the regulations, why are you still doing such a wrong way? Are you framing me?" He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it for face, so he joked: "Mr. Shen, does it mean that no one knows if there is no regulations, and you can't be promoted?"
This is a joke, just say it, but I didn't expect that Chen Qie's face suddenly changed. He slapped the table hard, staring at Chen Wanrong with anger, looking at Chen Wanrong: "Chen Wanrong, don't talk nonsense! Humph!" He brushed his sleeves, turned around and left.
Wang Shaohua hurriedly chased after him and grabbed him: "Mr. Shen, please stay! Brother Wanrong is just a joke, don't take it to your heart. Brother Wanrong, you are too much. Who is Lord Shen? At this time last year, Lord Shen was also a third-rank official in the court. If Lord Shen wanted to be promoted, he would not offend anyone."
He was very vague, but Chen Wanrong wanted to find the reason that he could leave the third-rank official to Ning County as the county magistrate, and only one person could do it, that is Princess Taiping. Chen Que must not be attached to her, so he made an excuse to come to Ning County.
I really didn't expect that Chen Que, who always flattered himself, had such an experience. When the ministers kept silent, Chen Que dared to fight against Princess Taiping. This spirit was convincing, and Chen Wanrong had more favorable feelings.
Since he was confronting Princess Taiping, he was the prince's man. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about congratulating Chen Zairong. It turned out that his sense of power was quite good. In this way, he and Chen Zairong were on the same front. Chen Wanrong had to reconsider some issues and bowed and said, "I have lost my words, please calm down. If Lord Shen really wants to eliminate harm for the people, there are actually many ways and I don't have to do this."
Chen Wanrong spoke very sincerely, and his anger calmed down. He politely said, "Brother Wanrong is so serious. Can you tell me, Brother Wanrong, do you have any wonderful plans?"
"Miao Ce dares not, but he has some simple opinion. Lord Shen is not even afraid of the princess, so why bother to care about this alchemist? Do whatever you should do and just go and investigate with great fanfare." Chen Wanrong's idea was not clever enough, but he was very upright.
Chen Qi shook his hands straight and said, "Brother Wanrong, you are not in the officialdom, and I don't know how deep the water in this officialdom is. What you said, Chen doesn't understand, but Chen wants to deal with it before the intervention in Chang'an to avoid future troubles."
Chen Wanrong asked, "Mr. Shen, please forgive me for saying something disrespectful, are you not afraid of revenge?"
Chen Que laughed and said, "Eat the king's fortune, be loyal to the king! I am loyal to the court and will have no regrets even if I die!" He said with a righteous attitude.
Chen Wanrong praised from the bottom of his heart and smiled: "Well said it! Since that's the case, why don't Lord Shen beat all these evil people in one go?"
Wang Shaohua took over the conversation and said, "Brother Chen said it well, but these bandits are scattered everywhere and it is difficult to gather together for a while. If Chang'an does not interfere, we will of course do it."
I didn't say the following words, but I couldn't understand them anymore. Without time, Chen Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "You can't catch them all, it's good to catch the culprit."
Wang Shaohua and Shen Que's eyes shone in their eyes and asked in unison: "Is there any wonderful solution?"
Chapter completed!
