Chapter 698 Resistance
Right in front of the gate of Jinwu Prison, a group of Jinwu Guards wearing armor and holding spears blocked the way of Quan Wannian and others.
The thick iron armor and sharp spear made Quan Wannian dare not force his way in.
Today in the prison, a Fa Cao Shenjun personally sits in the prison and heard the sound.
First, he took a look at Quan Wanji, and then he saw the young prisoner in the palace behind him and the emperor's own follower, Habayashiro, who crossed his hands in front of him to salute.
"Zuo Jinwu Weifa Cao Can Military Li Qi, I have seen two of you, what is it?"
Quan Wanji saw that this person was only a young man in his early twenties, so he said bluntly, "I have been ordered to arrest Zhang Yungu, the prisoner of Naqin, and hand over the prisoner as soon as possible."
But Li Qi just said, "I did arrest Zhang Yungu in Zuo Jinwu Prison. It was General Wu who was ordered by the Prince of the Eastern Palace to supervise the country. He was specially transferred from Ma Taizhang to take Zhang Yungu into custody. Transfer back?"
"You little Facao manages so many things? Hurry up and lead them out! Can you bear the burden of delaying the holy order?"
Right now Quan Wannian just wants to kill Zhang Yungu immediately, get this imperial envoy, and then go back to his Yushitai to take over the power. How can he have time to talk nonsense with a little Zuo Jinwu Wei Facao, so he can only be ranked eighth rank It's just a petty official.
"Since it is ordered by the holy man, is there a saint's edict?"
"It was ordained by the Holy Spirit!"
"Then I'm sorry, there is no official edict, so forgive me for not being able to hand over Zuo Jin Wuwei."
Wang Kai stood and looked at the young man, and stepped forward with a smile, "Are you the son of the Danyang family?"
"My father is the Duke of Danyang County and the right guard of the crown prince, who ranks fourth in a certain family."
"I said it looks familiar. Are you expressing ambition? When you married Yan, I came to drink wedding wine." Wang Kai said with a smile.
Li Dazhi immediately changed his expression, becoming respectful and enthusiastic towards Wang Kai.
"Isn't Uncle Wang in front of the Lishan sage, why did he come back to Beijing suddenly?"
Wang Kai also smiled and said, "According to the saint's order, I came back to Beijing to run an errand. That Zhang Yungu is in your prison?"
"Indeed, but General Wu has specifically confessed that without the order of the crown prince, or the order of the Zhengshitang to stamp the seal of Zhongshumen, we cannot hand it over. Please forgive me, Uncle Wang, I am just a Dharma under the eighth rank. Cao participated in the military, and he would not dare to let him go without seeing the imperial edict."
Wang Kai was not dissatisfied, "I understand, where is General Wu now, I will go to see him first."
"The general should be in the Zuojin Wuzhangyuan now."
Wang Kai nodded, "Say hello for me when I met Danyang Gongji, and I will definitely visit you next time when I take a rest."
"Walk!"
Wang Kai ordered to leave, Quan Wanji was in a hurry, Zhang Yungu was inside the prison, why did he want to withdraw.
"Wang Shaojian, we are following the will of the saints. If the Zuo Jinwu guard dare not let people go, just beat them in."
Wang Kai just chuckled, "Mr. Quan really thinks this Jinwu Guard Prison is so easy to break into? This is the territory of the Zhenfu Division. Even if it is Mr. Quan, I am afraid that he is not willing to offend the Zhenfu Division easily? I'd better go and visit first." Great General Wu, anyway, there is no rush."
Wang Kai is only the young supervisor of the Dianzhong Province, and the young supervisor of the Dianzhong Province is only from the fourth grade, and the Dianzhong Province is only responsible for the emperor's daily life. It is the emperor's attendant organization and does not have much authority. Usually everyone gives them face because they are the people around the emperor.
But in the final analysis, Wang Kai will not be ignorant of the rules, whether it is Zhang Liang of the Zhen Fusi, or Wu Hekai, the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, they are all purple-robed ministers of the third rank, let alone the emperor's confidant and former minister , the one in charge is still the key Yamen.
Quan Wanji is in a hurry, Wang Kai is not in a hurry, Zhang Yungu's case has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't want to offend others because of it.
Take Habayashiro to Zuojinwuzhangin, and hand over a name sticker to see him.
The result replied that General Wu was not there.
"Where did General Wu go?"
"The general went to visit Duke Wei early in the morning."
Wang Kai thanked him with a smile, pondered for a while, and turned his mind around, "Go to Pingkangfang."
"Young prisoner, I think Wu Guang is hiding on purpose. What are they trying to do? Are they trying to protect Zhang Yungu? This is a traitor!"
"Please also ask the young prisoner to immediately order Habayashiro to enter Zuo Jinwu Prison, drag Zhang Yungu to Chang'an Street, and behead him in public on the street. Don't miss the holy order!"
Wang Kai ignored Quan Wanji, "Mr. Quan, do you know who the Fa Cao joined the army you scolded just now?"
"That is the fourth son of Crown Prince Youwei and Li Keshi, Duke of Danyang County. Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhang Shi Daiguo are his uncles. Although Li Facao is young, his rank is also low. , but the future is boundless, his wife, Yan Shi, is the younger sister of Yan Guiren, His Majesty's harem."
The Yan family is also a well-known family in Guanlong. Li Dazhi's wife Yan's grandfather, Yan Rong, was the governor of Youzhou in the Sui Dynasty. Taiwei, the third daughter of Guan Wang Yang Xiong.
So Li Dazhi called Yang Shidao and Yang Gongren uncles.
Uncle is the prime minister of the court, two uncles in the wife were also prime ministers, and the father is the crown prince Youwei rate. With this family background, so what if he is only a subordinate of the eighth rank?
Wang Kai is an official serving the emperor after all, and he spends most of his days studying various interpersonal relationships, so he won't easily offend Li Dazhi.
Bring Habayashiro into Zuo Jinwu Guard Prison, if Li Dazhi is injured and touches, whose fault is it?
"The young prison is going to violate the imperial edict?"
"Why did I ever say that? It's just that people are in the Jinwu Guard now, so they have to take it step by step."
Seeing his prevarication, Quan Wanji said angrily, "If Wang Shaojian dare not offend others, I will give the order."
Wang Kai couldn't wait more, he, a fourth-rank young eunuch, would not dare to offend people in Chang'an, but this Quan Wanji, who is no more than fifth-rank governor, is really awesome.
So he resolutely handed over power and let him go.
Quan Wanji simply threw away Wang Kai, and directly ordered several Habayashiro captains to follow him and return to Chongrenfang.
Wang Kai took the opportunity to sneak away and went to Pingkang Fang to find Qin Lang.
Pingkangfang, the mansion of the Duke of Wei.
Qin Lang is grilling with Wu Guang, charcoal-grilled eggplant, charcoal-grilled garlic, liver wrapped in suet, large intestines wrapped with green onions, charcoal-grilled leeks, and even grilled oysters, roasted kidneys, all of which are great supplements.
Old Wu eats very vigorously.
"These oysters are really fresh and fat. It's really rare to be able to eat them in Chang'an." Lao Wu boasted that when he was leading troops in Wagang, he once hit the coast of Donglai and shot a big whale with an eight-ox crossbow. , bragging that a big whale they eat thousands of people.
"We didn't eat this stuff before. I didn't expect Sanlang to make some vermicelli and add some garlic to roast it. It's quite delicious."
Wu Guang is pretty good in other places, but he has a bad habit of bragging.
His father was the master of Puyang in the Sui Dynasty, so now he has to be granted the title of Duke of Puyang County. At the beginning, he had made great achievements in Congzhu Jiancheng, and afterwards he had to be granted the title of Founding Duke of Xinxiang County and General of Zuowei Zhonglang. Compared with Qin Qiong and the others, he was far behind. It was Qin Lang who gave him a hand and transferred him to the Zhen Fu Division.
Later, under the Zhenfu Division, the left and right Jinwu guards were newly established, and Lao Hei was under the care of his old boss Qin Qiong, so he soared to the sky and was promoted to the third-rank general first, and soon became a third-rank general. Already solid, he can be regarded as a member of the military upstarts, and his title has also been promoted to the Duke of the county.
With a higher official rank, Lao Wu's habit of bragging hasn't changed at all, but his bragging is getting bigger and bigger.
Qin Lang has heard many versions of the story of killing a whale. At the beginning, it was about shooting a big fish that weighed a hundred catties, then it became hundreds of catties, and then it became a thousand catties. In order to shoot and kill a whale weighing tens of thousands of catties.
The weapons used have also changed from the earliest bow and arrow, to the later horse lance, then to the stepping crossbow, and then to the current eight-ox crossbow.
"It's all business and I can't get away. Otherwise, you must drag Sanlang and you go to the East China Sea to hunt whales, hunt him ten or eight giant whales, take a boat to the Yellow River and transport them back to Chang'an, and let these Chang'an people Get to know each other!"
Qin Lang chuckled.
"That's a good thing, the whale is so big that it can't be stewed in one pot, hang it up for barbecue, put more cumin and dogwood, one is secret and the other is slightly spicy, and then there is a good wine..."
Old Wu slapped his legs when he heard this, "That's good, that's good!"
The two were chatting and laughing, and came in to report, "My lord, Shaojian Wang from the palace is paying a visit outside, saying that he has something important to do."
Wu Guang picked up a fresh oyster, pried it open clumsily, sucked the plump and fresh oyster meat into his mouth, and wiped his mouth after eating, "Go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, just don't see each other."
"fine."
Wang Kai was invited in, and he was very surprised to see that Xin Xin, who used to be in the prince's east palace, was now in Qin Lang's mansion.
"Wang Shaojian came just in time. We are tasting Donghai seafood. You are really lucky. Just in time, come."
Wang Kai was not too polite, came and sat down, ate two oysters first, and then talked about the mission to return to Beijing this time.
"Quan Wanji led people to break into my Zuo Jinwu Prison to rob people? How unreasonable!"
Old Wu slapped his thigh when he heard this.
"Is this His Majesty's will?"
"Quan Wanji criticized Xing Daiyue and rushed to Lishan Mountain to face the saint last night. The saint was very angry when he heard about Li Haode's case, and issued several orders to dismiss Sun Xianggong and Ma Xianggong from the post of prime minister, and sent Habayashiro to Beijing Immediately execute Zhang Yungu..."
"Is there an edict?"
"No, just verbal instructions."
Qin Lang nodded, "The sage was deceived by Quan Wanji. Fortunately, it was only an oral order, and there was no official edict. The big mistake has not yet been made. Wang Shaojian didn't know about it. In the case of Li Haode, His Highness the Crown Prince has already discovered that there is a problem with the handling of the case. Order a retrial, and the result has already been found out, Li Haode is just a lunatic, and Zhang Yungu was not involved in the conspiracy..."
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Wang Kai picked up another oyster.
"It's time." Qin Lang said to Wu Guang, "General Wu please go to Jinwu Prison first, make sure to keep Zhang Sicheng, and then ask Wang Shaoqing to work hard again, first go to the East Palace to meet His Royal Highness, and then return to Lishan to meet His Majesty. Tell me the true outcome of the case."
Wang Kai threw the finished oyster shells aside, wiped his mouth and said, "It's nothing to work hard, it's just that Quan Wanji may not let go of the sacred oracle."
"Please don't worry about this. Quan Wanji doesn't have an imperial edict. There is only one oral edict that has not passed through the school of Zhongshu, nor has it passed through the imperial edict of the Imperial Academy. There is nothing wrong with it. In Chang'an City, there are many people who can restrain him. !"
Wang Kai pointed to the barbecue in front of him, "Mr. Wei, can you let me, Old Wang, eat some more before leaving?"
"I'll have someone pack something for you, Shaojian Wang, and you can eat it on the road. After this incident, next time Shaojian Wang comes back to Beijing, I'll entertain you again when I have time."
Wang Kai smiled and stood up, "Then I will remember Duke Wei's promise."
Old Wu also left with a murderous look.
"Don't hurt Quan Yushi, the general!"
