I returned to my residence, thinking about what had just happened, and felt that my face was burning. I had never done anything like this in my life, and I was indeed a little uneasy and even ashamed. However, later on, I handled the errands as easily as I could and received all kinds of benefits. I no longer felt ashamed... I just took a drink of water to calm down. Then I saw Hardy hurried in and said, "Second brother, Master Murong asked you to come over, saying that someone from the East Factory is here!"
"What does Dongchang want from me?" I said perfunctorily, but I was really surprised. After all, I felt a little guilty. I was afraid that what I did last night would be known to others. I vaguely guessed Dongchang's intention, and I couldn't help but feel... perturbed. Liao Jianzhong is not in the Zhenfu Department now. If I ask about any flaws, I am afraid that there will be no one to speak for me. It is impossible to avoid it. That will make people even more suspicious, so I have to bite the bullet and go through. As I walked, I was thinking about what to say. Hardy kept following me, saying that my face was pale, and asked me if I was nervous. I pretended to smile relaxedly and said, "What's the point of being nervous? I'm not a prisoner!" Hardy said: "These people are all big bosses. When I saw them, my legs trembled!" Hardy's words moved my heart, and I said, "Me too! Who knows what they want from me?"
Ning Boyang came from nowhere, looked at me, smiled, and said to me in a low voice: "Second brother, you don't have to be afraid. Dongchang also listens to the father-in-law. You can answer whatever you ask. Besides, these people are all Jin Yiwei." In terms of birth and status, I am not as high as Master Murong!" His words shocked me, yes, I am also considered a member of Eunuch Zhang Yong, how big a deal can I have? At worst, I explained everything clearly and I didn't make any mistakes. I took a reassurance, took a deep breath, glanced at Ning Boyang gratefully, and went directly to see Murong Zhao.
People from Dongchang and Murong Zhao were all listening to Tao Pavilion. There were a few people at the door, but they were very casual. People from Beizhen Fusi were chatting, and I also found that it was not only me here, but also many school captains gathered there. There, it turned out that they were also waiting to be summoned. Most of these people arrived earlier than me, and like Xiang Chong, they were not even a few months earlier. I was overjoyed. It looked like they were not the only ones looking for me. That means no one saw me in Dongchang last night. But I thought about that little novice monk again. Could it be him? Furthermore, I clearly saw a person flashing in front of me. Who was that person?
I thought about going in with everyone, but then I saw Murong Zhao's personal captain Tu Zhengxing coming out. When he saw me, he waved his hand to me and said, "Zhang Ying, you come first!" I responded hurriedly, but warned myself. Don't panic, straighten your clothes, take a deep breath again, walk to the door, and loudly announce: "Zhang Ying has been ordered to come!" A calm voice came from inside: Come in quickly! It was Murong Zhao. I walked straight in and saw Murong Zhao sitting in the hall. On the left sat Ji Liaofan and Qian Baihu whom I saw that day, and on the right sat Hua Shichun and Silun. At a glance, I saw Qian Baihu's left hand wrapped in white cloth. I must have thought that this person was Qian Tong who was stabbed by me last night. My heart suddenly started beating wildly.
Everyone's eyes fell on me, but I still calmed down and saluted calmly. Murong Zhao's face was very calm, he snorted and said: "He is Zhang Ying, the new one in the sect, what you call Newcomers, you must have never seen him before. Zhang Ying, have you seen all of these people?"
I can't say that I don't know him, after all I have seen him before, and I heard that people in Jinyiwei have very good memories. I can't lie. I replied: "I have seen them all!" Murong Zhao was stunned, he didn't expect me I will admit that the others also had strange looks on their faces, but Silun was smiling. Ji Liaofan glanced at me a few times and said, "He also has a boy. I have seen him in the old Pingjia store and even beaten him." Hello." Qian Tong glanced at me, slightly suspicious, and said, "It looks familiar, but I really can't remember where I've seen it before." That day, Xiang Chong and I saw him and the father-in-law from Dongchang coming over. I had escaped early, so logically speaking, he wouldn’t recognize me.
I quickly said: "My subordinates and Xiang Chong only met and talked to Master Ji Baihu at the old Pingjia store. As for this gentleman, they only saw him from a distance and never met face to face. At that time, many people were there At the same time, my subordinates dare not go over and disturb me." Qian Tong was suspicious for a while, looked at me hard, and said: "You saw us that day, we..." He turned his head to Ji Liaofan.
Ji Liaofan patted his chubby head and said, "Well, we had nothing to do that day and went to Lao Liu's place for a drink. They saw you coming and thought they were having serious business, so they hurried out the back door and happened to meet me. , of course you haven't met him directly." Qian Tong nodded quickly and said, "It's true, but I don't know him."
Ji Liaofan wanted to say something more, but Murong Zhao interrupted him and said, "You are all from the Jinyi Guards. To be honest, we are still a family behind closed doors, so if you have anything to say, just say it." Ji Liaofan and Qian Tong quickly leaned forward and echoed: "That's right, that's right, we are all royal guards everywhere! This is our hometown."
"Haha, Qian Baihu, what you said is true. Yesterday, Gu Baihu went to visit an assassin, and was stopped by your Dongchang on the way. I was confused. For such a trivial matter, as for Dongchang to come forward? Could it be? Did you people from Dongchang do it? I have to ask Eunuch Ma about this, but we are all brothers of Jinyiwei, so it is better to be more open and honest about some things! Everyone is very busy, there is no need for mother-in-law." Murong Zhao drank. Kou Cha glanced at everyone, then pointed his gaze at me, and said, "Two hundred households said that someone came to Dongchang last night and injured Qian Baihu." I was shocked, but I shook my head and said: " This matter has nothing to do with my subordinates. I don’t even know where Dongchang is!" Hua Shichun remained silent. After hearing this, he interrupted: "Brother Qian is one of the best in Dongchang, even in the Jinyi Guards. We have never seen this little brother’s ability as a famous figure, but he can only stab Brother Qian, so Brother Qian must be too careless!”
The words were obviously sarcastic, Murong Zhao frowned, Qian Tong was a little embarrassed, and said: "Last night someone pretended to be a Jinyiwei and broke into Tianjie privately. He must be familiar with this place and sneaked into the East Factory. I am a night watchman. At that time, I found traces of this man. It was getting dark, and I saw him wearing a royal uniform. He was walking along the courtyard wall as if he was familiar with the road, so I followed him quietly. He jumped on the wall, and I followed him. I originally planned to I captured this person in one move. Unexpectedly, he suddenly attacked me and injured my left hand. When I stopped, he used Qing Kung Fu and left. I thought this person was dressed as a Jin Yiwei, so he must be related to Jin Yiwei. Therefore, following the instructions from Eunuch Ma, I came to Jin Yiwei to inspect. Brothers, please forgive me if I have offended you in any way. As Master Murong said, we are still a family behind closed doors. Just talk about it. Tell the truth. , looking at the figure of this brother, he does look very similar to the man last night!"
I just feel like my head is buzzing, what should I do? How should I answer, answer truthfully, I am afraid that Bao Song's death will be unclear, and I am a newcomer, how can they believe me, I think of Liao Jianzhong, if he is here, he may have a way to excuse me.
Hua Shichun sneered and said: "The East Factory is heavily guarded. How can the rest of the people get in? Since you have considered that someone is pretending to be a Jin Yiwei, you shouldn't doubt us? Doesn't this hurt the hearts of the brothers?" He pointed at me and said, "He is new here. Not to mention the huge city of Beijing, even Jin Yiwei, he probably can't figure it out. He broke into Dongchang with a familiar road? Haha, he ran out to arrest people last night. He was so confused and took risks. Come back in confusion, do you really doubt him? Look at the back, don’t forget, Jin Yiwei’s brothers all have the same appearance and figure, especially wearing these clothes, I’m afraid outsiders will look the same! There are more than a dozen people outside the door Brother, if you don’t believe me, take a look and see who you can recognize?”
I was suddenly startled and even a little panicked. At this time, Silun said: "Don't be excited, everyone. Let me say a few words. I was sent by Fusi in Nanzhen. Last night, Dongchang said that someone from the Jinyiwei broke into Dongchang at night. , or even hurt someone. I just did some research. To be precise, there was indeed a big commotion last night. But the people in Tianjie said that not only people from Jinyiwei, but also people in black broke in. Unfortunately, no one See their faces clearly." He said, looked at me, and then said: "I have always suspected that the young novice monk is ignorant and attracts outsiders to wander around. I originally wanted to go to Master Rufeng to explain it clearly and discipline his junior brother. , and because Master Rufeng is the substitute of the current emperor, it is difficult to speak."
