Chapter 62 Qian Niu Wei Lang will often black teeth
Although this man had a strange name, he was a master in fighting in history. Wu Chengsi politely returned the courtesy and said: "General, there is no need to be polite. I came to see you this time because I have something to ask you."
"My lord, please tell me, as long as the guilty officer knows, he will never hide anything and will never lie again!" Hei Te Changzhi said solemnly.
Wu Chengsi nodded and asked: "Do you know these four people: Pei Xingjian, Lu Zhining, Cui Baosheng and Gao Funan?"
"Boss Pei Shilang and Cui Baosheng have met, but they have not spoken. As Lu Zhining said, you know that the criminal has some grudges with him. As for Gao Funan, when the criminal was still in Baekje a few years ago, he accompanied the king on a mission to Goryeo. , I have seen this person. However, I have never seen him since I joined the Tang Dynasty!"
"Then have you done anything together? Or did you have any intersections when you were in Liaodong?" Wu Chengsi asked again.
"Absolutely not. Although I fought with Silla and Goryeo when I was in Baekje, I never saw them on the battlefield!"
Wu Chengsi felt slightly disappointed and frowned. Han Cheng suddenly said: "General Black Teeth, do you know General Su Dingfang?"
Hearing the words "Su Dingfang", Hei Te Changzhi showed a look of fear on his face. After a moment, he slowly said: "The guilty officer was captured by General Su."
Han Cheng asked again: "Then has he ever spoken to you, or given you anything?"
Hei Te Changzhi looked into the void and said slowly: "He just said three things to me."
"Which three sentences are they?"
"He asked me if I knew him, and I said I did. He then asked, 'Since I knew it was him, how could I dare to lead troops to resist?' I said that as a soldier, I should protect my family and my country."
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Yes, you are a man. General Su must have admired you very much, so he recommended you to His Majesty!"
Hei Te Changzhi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, he was going to kill me after hearing this. It was a general nearby who said that my black face was very rare and could be shown to His Majesty the Emperor, so he spared my life. ."
Wu Chengsi scratched his cheek and was speechless. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Then why did you surrender to our country?"
Hei Te Changzhi raised his head and sighed: "The Tang Dynasty is so powerful. If we continue to resist, all Baekje people will die. I hope everyone understands this and takes the lead in surrendering. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very kind to me and praises me." I am so brave that I was given two emerald wine glasses. I have decided to spend my life repaying His Majesty the Emperor's kindness!"
Wu Chengsi thought to himself: "Although Li Zhi is indecisive, he inherited Li Shimin's method of winning people's hearts. This is worth learning." He waved his hand and said: "Come here, put General Black Teeth into a clean cell!"
Hei Te Changzhi cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wu, but it doesn't matter where the guilty minister lives. You don't have to worry about it. I just don't know the guilty minister's case..."
"Don't worry, the case has made progress. If you have any other needs, feel free to tell me."
Hei Te Changzhi said happily: "Yes, Mr. Wu, can you get the sinner's black wolf bow? The sinner has to string the bow two hundred times before going to bed every day. If he doesn't pull it for the past few days, he can't sleep at night. Got it!"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "This is easy, I will have someone deliver it to you." He thought to himself: "No wonder this guy's arms are so thick, I think his archery skills must be good!"
After leaving the prison, he told an official to take the bow, and then left Dali Temple.
On the street outside Dali Temple, there were many official carriages parked. Lao Liang, the carriage driver of the Duke of Guo's Mansion, was chatting and spanking with several of Han Cheng's guards.
After seeing Wu Chengsi come out, he wanted to drive over. Wu Chengsi walked over and waved his hand: "I'm not going back home." He took the reins of a horse from a guard and led the horse towards the street.
Han Cheng told the others to stay where they were and followed him with another horse.
Wu Chengsi was originally going to find Pei Xingjian, but halfway there, he suddenly woke up. Those behind the scenes probably didn't know that he had learned the names of five people from Su Dingjie, and that the Ministry of Punishment was the other party's territory.
If you go to Pei Xingjian rashly, it might make the other party alert, and it's impossible to predict what they will do.
When he thought about this, he stopped and decided to change his route to Tianlao to interrogate Yang Fang.
When passing through the West Market, I saw that the road ahead was suddenly crowded, forming a human wall. I stood on tiptoe and looked around, and I saw a team of criminal police officers holding a man in custody inside the human wall.
The man was wearing a prison uniform with shackles and anklets. He was none other than He Lan Minzhi who had framed him.
He no longer looked as cheerful as before, his hair was disheveled, and his expression was dull. As he walked, from time to time, women rushed out of the crowd and wanted to talk to him, but they were all stopped by the police.
Wu Chengsi had always wanted to talk to him, but because of the delay in the Hanlin Academy case, he forgot about it.
Looking at He Lan Minzhi's retreating back, he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the Baiyun'an case was solved, otherwise he would be the one who would be sent to Lingnan now.
…
Chang'an City, Pingkangfang.
The "Luoying Building", which is as famous as "Ye Yuqiu", welcomed the most popular guests since the building opened today, and the small building was almost packed.
In the corridor on the second floor, Wang Bo looked at the crowds of people below, shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't been here for a while, but I didn't expect that the business of Luoyinglou is so good."
Meng Huailiang smiled and said: "At least half of the people are here for Gu Douzhi."
Gu Luoer received an invitation from Lan Xiaolou yesterday, inviting her to come to Luoyinglou to play the piano and meet friends. It happened that Wang Bo and four others were also there at that time.
The four of them were all appreciated by Duke Zhou and were likely to become colleagues in the Hanlin Academy in the future, so they became friends and often acted together. So they made an appointment to accompany Gu Luoer today and act as a messenger to protect the flowers.
"What about the other half?" Lu Zhaolin asked.
Meng Huailiang smiled but didn't answer, Zhou Xing said lightly: "I guess it's because of He Lan Minzhi, right?"
"What does this have to do with He Lan Minzhi?" Lu Zhaolin asked in surprise.
Zhou Xing glanced at him and thought: "You are almost becoming Lord Wu's disciple, but you don't even investigate his affairs. It is simply stupid."
Meng Huailiang explained: "He Lanmin was exiled to Lingnan because he framed Duke Wu. The day of departure is today."
Lu Zhaolin was surprised: "There is such a thing."
Wang Bo frowned and said: "I heard that Lan Xiaolou has feelings for He Lan Minzhi. Could it be that these people want to see if Lan Xiaolou will send He Lan Minzhi off?"
Meng Huailiang smiled and said: "Of course."
Lu Zhaolin asked doubtfully: "Lan Xiaolou asked Gu Douzhi to come over. Could it be that he wanted her to accompany him to see off Helan Minzhi?"
Zhou Xing rolled his eyes at him: "How is it possible? Lan Xiaolou just saw Gu Douzhi's recent rise in fame and wanted to get in on her popularity."
"You mean Lan Xiaolou won't send He Lan Minzhi off?" Lu Zhaolin asked again.
"He's just an actor, so what's the point of friendship?" Zhou Xing sneered.
Meng Huailiang said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, you can't say that. Gu Douzhi is also an actress. How is her literary talent and music inferior to ours?"
Zhou Xing snorted and said nothing.
At this moment, a group of servants suddenly rushed outside the door and forcibly separated the crowd. Many people were even pushed to the ground. In the clearing cleared by the servants, a young man wearing a blue and white robe entered the lobby leisurely.
Normally, the crowd would be unwilling to stop after such an act. However, when most people saw the young man's face, their expressions changed greatly and they did not dare to say a single harsh word.
However, not everyone is like this. A big man in Hufu said angrily: "Damn it, why are you squeezing in? Does one person need to take up so much space?"
In front of the fence on the second floor, Meng Huailiang frowned and said, "Who is that guy? So many people dare not offend him?"
Looking around, one could see that many of the people in the crowd were from official families, and the son of Wannian County Magistrate was also among them, but like everyone else, he dared not speak out in anger.
Wang Bo said solemnly: "That man's name is Xu Zonghan, and he is the grandson of Mr. Xu Ge."
Zhou Xing said coldly: "This kid used to serve in the army. He participated in the war against Goryeo a few years ago. As a result, the entire army was wiped out. He escaped alone and was dismissed from the military post!"
While several people were talking, the big man in Hu clothes was dragged to the middle and punched and kicked by several servants. The two servants took the big man to Xu Zonghan and knelt down. Xu Zonghan grabbed his hair and hit him with his knee.
On the face of a big man.
The big man lay on the ground and screamed, his face covered with blood. Seeing this scene, others fled out of Luoying Tower one after another.
In an instant, the building became much emptier.
The madam and the steward stood in the distance with frightened faces and did not dare to step forward to stop him.
