Chapter 66 Royal errand
The day before Su Su left for Beijing, Fubi visited the Peach Blossom Nunnery. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Wei allowed Fu Bi to meet Zhao Ze, but the location was not at the construction site in the Peach Blossom Nunnery, but by the Peach Blossom Lake outside the Peach Blossom Nunnery.
At this time, by the peach blossom lake, peach willow green warbler swallow, Zhao Ze stood on the shore with his hands behind his back, looking at the blue lake. The breeze came, and the cool breath was shocking.
When the sound of cicadas in his ear suddenly stopped, Fu Bi said to Zhao Ze, "I am ordered by His Majesty to discuss something with Zhao Ze."
"You're welcome, rich man. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. They are all your own people." Zhao Ze held his shoulder and twisted his waist left and right.
"Your Majesty wants to see the airship you built..." Fu Bi stopped halfway and pulled Zhao Ze "the fish is hooked"
"No hurry, tell it to toss by itself." Zhao Ze relaxed his sore back and sat down again.
"Also, your majesty also wants the envoy of Liao to see the airship you built." Fu Bi sat down next to Zhao Ze.
"That's all, then I have to tell my sister quickly," Zhao Ze replied easily.
"Zhao Ze, don't you ask my majesty why you want to see the airship you made?" Fu Bi reminded him to attract his attention.
"What is the deeper intention of this...? Please forgive my ignorance. Please tell me, "Zhao Ze pulled up the fishing rod and found that the fish had been decoupled and ran away.
"You can teach, you can teach, but Zhao Ze, to tell you the truth, in my opinion, your majesty wants to know whether the thing you made will endanger his country." When Fu Bi said this, his voice was very low and cautious.
"Ah!" Zhao Ze looked at Fu Bi in surprise and saw that Fu Bi hung his fishing rod back on the fish and threw it into the lake.
"You don't believe it?" Fubi couldn't take his eyes off the lake.
"No, no, I believe it very much. I believe in your judgment of Lord Fu, but you also know that I am a poor man. Even if I know that my career is sinister and people's people are unpredictable, what can I do? Unless you give me a chance to be an official, I guess I don't have to worry about other people's calculations at that time." Zhao Ze casually said. I said something from my heart.
"Don't worry, the Taigong fishing will be hooked. Your opportunity is coming, but you'd better be prepared." Fu Bi got up and was used to shaking his clothes.
"I'll contact my sister when I go back later." Zhao Ze also stood up when he spoke. "Yes, Lord Fu, is there anything else today besides this matter?"
"Come and see you and see your situation. Isn't this also one thing?" Fu Bi smiled and stared at Zhao Ze.
"Well, I said, Lord Rich, don't tease me. If you have something to say, there is no one nearby. Wu Liang, they are eating wine in the restaurant over there. I let the princess's people work in the yard, and no one disturbs us."
Fbi patted Zhao Ze on the shoulder, "Let's talk as we walk, please"
"Lord Fu, please invite me first." Zhao Ze made a gesture of invitation gracefully.
"Okay, let's go"
Next, Zhao Ze and Fu Bi walked slowly south along the shore of the Peach Blossom Lake. Along the way, it was rare and the scenery was excellent. As Fu Bi walked, he talked to Zhao Ze about what he was worried about. Zhao Ze remembered it one by one. When Fu Bi mentioned why Her Royal Highness Princess Wei named Zhao Ze to build the tallest phoenix in the big building. The building.
Zhao Ze also said his doubts, "Actually, I'm not very clear about this matter."
"If you don't know, you have to think clearly. If you don't think you can find someone to help, isn't Wu Liang the one who can help? You ask him to help you think about it." Fu Bi suggested.
"Mr. Wu also helped me think about it, but there are some things that you can't imagine even if you are so smart. Mr. Wu just helped me guess that the situation is nothing more than good, bad and bad."
"Oh, what's good?"
"It's true that the princess built a phoenix tower. I will get a reward if I help her fulfill her wish."
"What's bad about that"
"Is it bad? Mr. Wu and I have the same idea, that is, where did I offend the princess or indirectly offend someone to make the princess angry with me?"
"Yes, how to explain the mixed good and bad?"
"This is the balance that the five elements of gossip pay attention to. Absolute good and absolute bad things do not exist. They are both in a state of mutual checks and balances. As for what is good or bad, I don't think I can escape the matter of building Fenglou."
"Well, it makes sense." Fubi frowned and thought about it, and then then said, "Then you should pay attention to it. You must build the Feng Building."
"This is natural, but the princess seems to deliberately make things difficult for me. Not to mention the one-month construction period, she only gave 20 father-in-law with fine skin and tender meat. All the materials needed to build the house have not been purchased. I just made a list of Zhang Cai's purchase with Mr. Zhang yesterday. Mr. Zhang said that it would take at least 7 days to deliver it, so it will pass in a month. Three points and one, rich man, do you think I can be in a hurry?"
"This is really strange." Fu Bi brushed his beard and suddenly asked, "The princess didn't tell you. What's the punishment if it's not finished when it's due?"
"I remember that Xiaoying, the maid of the princess, told me at that time. I remember that it seemed that she would be punished according to the law if it was not completed on time."
"Oh!" As soon as Fu Bi heard this, he couldn't help but stop and pulled Zhao Ze and said, "Wait, this is a big or small punishment according to the law. If you complete it, you have nothing to say, but the public is mainly deliberately looking for trouble and you can't get rid of it, but if you don't finish it, it's all up to the princess's words. Have you ever thought about this. Passed? And the maid Xiaoying?"
"This!" Zhao Ze was also stunned, "I didn't think about this result, but Mr. Wu gave me a divination, saying that it turned bad luck into good luck."
"That's the afterthought. Before this matter is solved, you are still in danger. Or you can find a way to build the Laifeng Building quickly. It's better to build it in advance. And don't be careful when you see the maid Xiaoying next time," Fu Bi reminded seriously.
"It's not easy to talk about this. It's almost the same as planting crops to build a house. It's useless to be anxious, but it's easy to be careful of Xiaoying, the maid next to the princess." Zhao Ze's heart was blank in his mind. For a moment, he couldn't think of a good way, but he just said it casually.
Fu Bi frowned again, and after a long time, he suddenly lost his voice and said, "I have a way"
For this reason, the matter on the shore of Peach Blossom Lake has come to an end, and let's talk about what is happening in Kaifeng Mansion, which is not far away.
Guo Zhen patted the shocking wood and shouted loudly.
"Why didn't you mention that you were the escort of Liaoning yesterday?"
"Lord, I was dizzy yesterday. I thought I could understand if I lost money. I didn't want to be too flamboyant," Manduhai replied.
"Bkil, where is my place in Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty? If you say it, just go. Come and slap people." Guo Zhen was about to torture people. Suddenly, someone outside the court shouted loudly, "Slow, the Song Dynasty is still unreasonable. Whoever moves yesterday's hand first will know why. "Song people"
Guo Zhen heard who was so bold and dared to roar in court. He stared and shouted again, "Who is noisy here? How dare you stand up?"
Guo Zhen didn't say a word, and one of the people outside the court came out. This life is elegant and extraordinary. Although the traces of the years have made him lose his young appearance, after all, no one can change it.
"Who is coming, report it?" Guo Zhen asked harshly.
"Lord Guo, how forgetful you are. I am Liu Liufu."
"Liu Liufu" Guo Zhen recalled these three words in his mouth for a long time, and then suddenly stood up. Looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked. He quickly covered up his panic and asked in a flat tone, "Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Liu. Today, Kaifeng Mansion solved the case. Why is Mr. Liu causing trouble?"
"I can't see it, so I want to say something fair. I think Song is a country of etiquette. I won't frame foreigners in order to shield my own people. It's unreasonable. Lord Guo, you think what I said makes sense."
"This" Guo Zhen looked at Liu Liufu and found that he was wearing a round-neck long shirt of ordinary people in the Song Dynasty today, smiling and looking at the Liao envoy guard beside him.
"Well, it makes sense for you. Come on, bring Zhan Showa Ding Yuehua." At the order of Guo Zhen, the official in the hall sent the order. After a moment, Zhan Showa Ding Yuehua, who was temporarily detained in the cell, was brought up.
Zhan Zhao was a little unaccustomed to living in the cell for the first time today. He didn't sleep all night, unlike Ding Yuehua, who fell asleep at night. No matter whether the cell or the ground, it would be good to sleep. Therefore, when Zhan Zhao was taken to the court, his eyes were red, as if he had suffered a lot of injustice.
"The people under the hall are Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua," Guo Zhen asked loudly.
"Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua, who are waiting for the crime, meet Lord Guo of Kaifeng Mansion," Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua said in unison.
"Yes, since you have tested your body, let me ask you, Zhan Zhao, it was your first hand yesterday."
"Yes, my lord," Zhan Zhao replied.
"Why did you hit people?" Guo Zhen repeated yesterday's words.
"Your Excellency, the villain Hu Erzhuang said that we are deaf and wants to beat my wife. Do you think I should help?" Zhan Zhaoyi replied righteously, and Ding Yuehua listened with sweetness in his heart.
"It makes sense that Hu Erzhuang should not hurt people," Guo Zhen echoed.
"Slow it." Liu Liufu stood aside and interrupted, "Lord Guo, since Zhan Zhao has admitted that he hit people, and he still beats people first, this truth is very clear. Who is the fault? Fairness lies in the hearts of the people."
"Um, I didn't ask you. Liu Liu Liufu, you can't interfere with me to settle the case. Please leave first." Guo Zhen politely invited Liu Liufu out, and then looked at the two groups of people in the hall. He was thinking about how to deal with fairness. After the time to have a pot of tea, Guo Zhen suddenly came up with a good idea and was busy with the official. Tang's judgment:
"Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua hit people first, which should be distributed to Qiong's face. Gu Nian's first visit to Beijing did not understand the king's law, and fought with others to protect his beloved wife. Although it was not serious, it also caused damage to the tables, stools and cups and plates of Zhangjia's hotel. According to this, I judged that Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua built the royal building. The building will be punished for one month. I hope you two will repent and compensate for half of the losses of Zhang's hotel. You can accept my judgment.
Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua shouted in unison, "We will listen to the judgment of adults"
- This is Guo Zhen's punishment decision on Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua.
Next is the punishment for Manduhai and Huerzhuang.
"Hu Erzhuang, Mandu Haier and others, as the guards of the envoys of Liao, did not abide by their duties, nor did they abide by the law of the King of the Song Dynasty. They intended to buy and sell them in the Song Dynasty. After Zhang Shun, the shopkeeper of Zhangjia Hotel, had a dispute with Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua ineffective mediation, so that the export hurt people, which caused this unhelpful fight. According to this, I judged the official sentenced the punishment. Hu Erzhuang and Manduhai compensated for half of the losses of Zhang's hotel, and instructed the envoys of Liaoning to reprimand you. Can you accept my judgment?
Hu Er was grinning and was about to say, "I'm not convinced." Manduhai put his elbow on his elbow and his lower ribs hurt. He grinned, so he had to shout "I'm waiting" with Manduhai.
Since there was no objection from both sides, the matter was settled. Manduhai and Hu Erzhuang were released in court. Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua were sent to the royal construction site by special personnel. After leaving the hall, Guo Zhen asked the master to sort out and seal the case for inspection, and he took the time to go out to meet a person.
