It was already past the hour of Hai, and it was already late at night. There was no trace of the empty South Street. Only two carriages were driven on the street one by one under the escort of dozens of soldiers holding torches, but the speed was not It's so fast that Wang Geng, who was so anxious, couldn't sit still, but he didn't dare to urge him, just because Zhang Jianzhi was sitting steadily beside him - he was from the King of England After receiving the order to investigate thoroughly, Wang Geng wished he could put on his wings and flew directly to the inn. However, Zhang Jianzhi seemed not in a hurry and took the initiative to invite Wang Geng to take the same car, but after getting on the car, he said nothing. He let the accompanying guards of the British Prince's Mansion walk casually. The mysterious appearance made Wang Geng stop several times.
In terms of official title, the hat of the prince's palace wearing on Zhang Jianzhi's head is really rare. He is just a small official from the sixth rank, let alone the official position is still a member of the vassal prince's palace. Even if the official is inferior to the seventh-rank county magistrate of the officialdom, who is not clear about the fact that Zhang Jianzhi is the absolute confidant of King Li Xian of the British, and one person can be regarded as a half-final son of the British palace. Whenever Li Xian is away, all the military and political orders issued from the Grand Governor's Office are made by him. Who dares to ignore such people? At least Wang Geng dares not. In this way, facing Zhang Jianzhi's silence, even if Wang Geng is anxious, he can only force himself to endure it again and again.
"Mr. Zhang, since Your Highness has entrusted us with this case, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any constitution?"
It is impossible for Wang Geng to be really calm and composed. After enduring this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and didn't care about being polite or rude. He even saved the greetings and went straight to the point.
"That depends on Lord Wang's need."
Zhang Jianzhi looked at Wang Geng with a serious smile and answered an intriguing statement calmly.
"Well? What does Lord Zhang mean? I am really not sure about it. Please explain it in detail on your behalf."
Although Wang Geng was good at government affairs, he was not very good at power and conspiracy. He frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Jianzhi's words, so he had to ask for advice.
"It's not difficult to settle this case, but the difference is just the degree. I wonder what kind of result Lord Wang wants?"
Zhang Jianzhi did not directly answer Wang Geng’s question, but said calmly.
"Of course..." Although Wang Geng was not good at power and might have reached the high position of the governor of Zhongzhou, he would naturally not be a fool. He originally wanted to say that he would thoroughly investigate the case, but as soon as he spoke, he realized it. Something was wrong, so I couldn't help but stop, looked at Zhang Jianzhi suspiciously, and said in a careful tone: "In the opinion of Lord Zhang, how good should this case be settled?"
"Whether Mr. Wang is not in this case, or how he is in trouble, or how he is in trouble, and in our palace, but Mr. Wang is a major event with great significance. What does it mean? , Please let Lord Wang take a self-consideration.”
The key to how to settle the case is not how Wang Geng acts, but how to choose the Yue Palace Department. Zhang Jianzhi naturally knew this. The only difference is that he was not sure what kind of Yue Palace Department would give way. It's just a degree, but Zhang Jianzhi obviously did not intend to inform Wang Geng clearly about this matter, but instead circled around in a foggy way. Instead, he vaguely pointed out in his words that Wang Geng was time to take the team.
"this……"
Wang Geng is not stupid, he can naturally hear the hints in Zhang Jianzhi's words, but this conflicts with his always-off life principles. In addition, he lacks enough confidence in solving this case, so he doesn't know what to do for a moment.
Answered.
"There is a big tree in Hexi, and we are just birds building nests."
Zhang Jianzhi glanced at Wang Geng with a meaningful look, said a pun, and then closed his eyes, clearly showing that he didn't want to talk further.
When the big tree falls, the birds can fly away, but the nest will inevitably be unsafe. As for the eggs in the nest, of course, they can only break on the ground. Moreover, even if the birds can fly away, they will still have to.
Living on the tree, when you reach the bottom, you still have to find a big tree to live in. It is hard to say whether this new big tree can be as comfortable as the original one. The truth is not very profound.
, Judging from Wang Geng's IQ, he can see through it clearly, but it is not easy to make a choice. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but fall into the mind and never again after a long time.
With a word, the carriage immediately fell into a dead silence again.
"You two sirs, the post station has arrived."
No matter how slow the carriage was, it finally arrived at its destination. Just as Wang Geng was thinking, the carriage had stopped at some point. Xiao Sanlang, the personal guard of the Yingwang Mansion, saw that there was no movement in the carriage for a long time.
I had to get close to the curtain and whispered.
"Here? Oh, okay, okay, Lord Zhang, please!"
After being disturbed by Xiao Sanlang, Wang Geng immediately woke up from his psychic state and looked at Zhang Jianzhi secretly. Seeing that he was still closing his eyes tightly, he had no reaction at all, and his heart trembled.
I couldn't help but feel a little confused about my character.
"Please ask first."
Zhang Jianzhi, who should be said, has already explained it thoroughly. As for how Wang Geng will decide, Zhang Jianzhi also doesn't care much. In his opinion, if Wang Geng is willing to surrender, it will save a lot of trivial matters.
If you refuse, it will be no big deal. The British Royal Palace is full of talents. It is not difficult to find someone who can be the governor of Lanzhou. At worst, it will be a little bit of trouble.
He was too lazy to say anything to Wang Geng again, so he nodded indifferently, waved his hand, and simply said "Please".
"Um."
Wang Geng was very thoughtful and didn't want to be polite. He said absent-mindedly, bowed, and got off the carriage. When he saw Ye Shengzheng wearing blue clothes strode forward, he couldn't help but feel happy.
, walked over quickly.
"grown ups."
Ye Shengsu didn't like to speak a lot. Although he was respectful in his manners, he didn't say much. He just greeted him simply.
"Ye Sheng, you finally came. When did you arrive, and what's going on now?"
Ye Sheng is Wang Geng's most trusted confidant. When he received the news of the incident earlier, Wang Geng had already sent someone to summon Ye Sheng at the first time, but by the time Wang Geng had already completed the preliminary investigation of the scene, he never had
Seeing Ye Sheng appear, Wang Geng was quite anxious. Seeing Ye Sheng finally arrived at the scene, Wang Geng was a little more confident, but it was urgent. Wang Geng didn't care about greetings and asked directly.
Start the investigation results.
"Mr. Ye has been here for a while, and there is no progress at the moment."
When Ye Sheng used to face Wang Geng, he always claimed to be a subordinate, but this time it was not like this. After answering a simple sentence, he did not say much to Wang Geng, but instead made great strides to meet Shanshan.
Zhang Jianzhi of the carriage bowed to the end and said, "Sir, please see Mr. Zhang."
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Jianzhi was extremely calm and received Ye Sheng's gift, but Xuxu raised his hand and signaled Ye Sheng to calm down.
"Subordinate? Ye Sheng, do you know Lord Zhang?"
When Wang Geng heard Ye Sheng claiming to be a subordinate of Zhang Jianzhi, he was stunned and looked at Zhang suspiciously. Ye and the other two looked at each other and asked in surprise.
"Yes, a certain British palace is in charge of marriage, and now it is time to return to the building. In the past, he is favored by Lord King, and Ye is very grateful."
Ye Sheng looked at Wang Geng apologetically, answered respectfully, and then stopped talking. He walked behind Zhang Jianzhi with two big strides, stood upright with his sword, and took over Xiao Sanlang's command with his actions.
He temporarily serves as the commander of the accompanying guards.
"You..., alas..."
Wang Geng has always regarded Ye Sheng as his absolute confidant, but he did not expect Ye Sheng to be Li Xian's person. In this shock, he was a very strange feeling of being blinded. A sense of anger suddenly surged into his heart.
He was soon replaced by a huge feeling of depression, and shook his head powerlessly, and was speechless.
"Mr. Wang, it's getting late, and Your Highness is still waiting to reply."
Zhang Jianzhi is a wise man who is a wise man today. Although he is a little worse than Di Renjie in his grasp of the hearts, he is not comparable to idle people. Seeing that Wang Geng was exhausted, he would not let go of such pressure.
This is a good opportunity, so I once again said with a pun.
"Your Highness is so wise that Wang is so impressed. He should do his best to do his best, but he really dare not let Your Highness wait for a long time."
After all, Wang Geng was a man who had been a governor for a long time. Once he made a decision, he did not act slowly. After taking a deep breath, he bowed to Zhang Jianzhi and made the final choice to stand in the team.
"Good, Lord King of the Ri will be glad that today's decision is not bad. Zhang will not say anything extra. Please ask Lord Wang to immediately order the whole city to search. As for the other reasons, Your Highness will make a decision."
It is better to have less than more things. If Wang Geng can accept it, he will avoid the trouble of changing horses. Zhang Jianzhi has gone in vain. Seeing that the matter has been settled smoothly, Zhang Jianzhi will not do it.
He pretended to be mysterious again, so he gave Wang Genghao a reassurance.
"No!" Having decided to surrender to Li Xian, Wang Geng was less reserved and lowered his position without hesitation. He was willing to stay at Zhang Jianzhi's lower head, respectfully agreed to the No., and then walked to the stop.
In front of the Lanzhou military and political officials in the distance, they raised their tone and ordered: "Everyone has their own departments, and your highness has an order: The whole city will be in a martial law immediately, search the whole city, and investigate it strictly. It is necessary to find out the thief who attacked the post station.
place!"
"promise!"
After hearing Wang Geng's words, no one dared to question Li Xian's orders. They all responded loudly. Wang Geng sent a district to deploy defenses to the whole city in preparation for a large-scale search after dawn.
