Chapter 265: Jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it out
Zhao Teng poked his head out of the carriage and looked around, trying to see who was so bold as to spread rumors on the street.
As a result, as soon as he poked his head out, several people in ragged clothes pointed at him and said, "Come out, come out. This is probably the banished immortal's best friend, Mr. Zhao of Neishi."
Zhao Teng was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Who is the friend of the banished immortal? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will not spare you."
These people look at me and I look at you, and they are all a little scared.
Mudeng hesitated and said: "Looking at it from the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be a good friend of the banished immortal."
One of them, named Qianzhi, had been to Xianyang City before. So everyone regarded him as the backbone.
The front teeth took a few deep breaths and said: "This lord is definitely Mr. Zhao. I was lucky enough to meet him once on the street. And Mr. Zhao is a good friend of the Exalted Immortal, so he is definitely right. Who is this person in Xianyang City?
I don’t know? Lord Zhao just said that deliberately, it was just a pretense to show fairness."
Everyone nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Otherwise, they would be suspected of covering up for us."
Zhao Teng was so angry that he shouted: "Catch them, take them back and torture them severely to see who instigated them."
Mudiao was startled, and asked Qianzha nervously: "Why...why are we still arresting people?"
Incisor comforted them and said: "It doesn't matter, this is a show on the street for others to see."
So everyone felt relieved and obediently let others tie them up.
When Zhao Teng's carriage passed by them, these people saluted and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, I completely rely on you."
Zhao Teng felt his lungs hurt a little.
Suddenly, he panicked: the accents of these people were clearly not from those near Xianyang. Could it be that the rumors about my good relationship with Huaiguzi had spread so far away?
If Sophora Millet really falls this time, will I be implicated? The ministers in the court are not so stupid to believe such rumors. But what if... they pretend to be confused because they know better? I will be eliminated just in time.
If it falls, wouldn’t that be bad?
Along the way, Zhao Teng's mood was ups and downs, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.
Half an hour later, Zhao Teng was ready to interrogate these people.
The clerk below asked: "Sir, do you want to be punished?"
Zhao Teng shook his head: "Let's ask first what exactly they are here for."
The common people were brought up and saw that Zhao Teng had no expression on his face. Although he could not be said to be pleasant, he was not evil either.
They boldly spoke out their grievances.
After Zhao Teng heard this, his expression changed slightly and he asked the people: "Did the Hun women you married really help you with farm work?"
Wooden Pin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that woman is obviously not very good at farm work, but after the villain taught her, she started doing it non-stop, without even taking a break in the middle. It's a pity that she only lives at my house.
Half a day, otherwise, she can finish hoeing my few acres of thin fields."
Zhao Teng was a little speechless: "How long has it been and you still want to let people do your work for you?"
At this time, the front tooth said again: "I married a Hun woman relatively early. It has been five or six days. It is said that time changes people's hearts. During these five or six days, the woman went to the fields during the day, chopped firewood in the evening, and weaved at night. Although she was clumsy.
Yes, but very willing to endure hardship.”
"If it were an ordinary woman, she would have complained of fatigue and pain a long time ago. But this woman did not. Instead, she smiled and laughed all day long. She said that the climate in the Central Plains is good, much warmer than in the north. She also said that the people in the Central Plains live a good life. Although they eat a lot of food every day,
Not too full, but there is always food to eat. When I was in the north, I was often hungry. Finally, I said that the men in the Central Plains are good. This woman was beaten and scolded by her father when she was young. She once married a Huns and was beaten and scolded.
It's a common occurrence. After arriving at the villain's home, she waited for five days in a row, but the villain didn't hit her. She was so happy that she danced with joy."
Zhao Teng stroked his beard: "So, are these Huns women sincerely marrying you? Instead of coming to Xianyang City to inquire about information?"
The common people bowed and said: "Exactly. They have been doing farm work all day long. At night, they are too tired to get up. How can they find out the news?"
Zhao Teng nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."
When the common people saw Zhao Teng nodding in agreement, they all beamed with joy and whispered in front of their teeth: "I told you earlier, right? Mr. Zhao is one of ours."
Zhao Teng was a little helpless, but he couldn't explain it to these ignorant Guizhou leaders, so he had to pretend not to see it.
Qianzha boldly said to Zhao Teng: "Sir, did we win the lawsuit? Can our daughter-in-law go home?"
Zhao Teng waved his hand: "Don't be impatient. I just think that your narrative makes some sense. We are still far from winning."
The front teeth are a little disappointed.
Zhao Teng said calmly: "The banished immortal will return to Xianyang soon. By then, everything will be clear. You don't have to stand up now and offend the Wang family. Although the Wang family is in decline, it is not someone you can afford to offend.
"
These people all looked at Zhao Teng with great gratitude.
Zhao Teng waved his hand: "In the past few days, I will wrong you and sleep in the cell first."
The people nodded their heads and were locked in happily.
They are really happy. After all, the cells in Xianyang City do not leak from the rain or air, and they also provide food every day. After eating every day, they can just lie down on the straw and sleep. If any inmates want to bully others, then
Just shout: We are the ones who banished the immortals. The trouble will be gone immediately.
The wooden peg was lying on the straw, and suddenly I didn't want to leave.
…………
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have been waiting for ten days. If we count the days, if we hurry up, Fu Yao should also bring Li Shui back. But there has been no movement from Li Shui yet.
Some people couldn't hold it anymore and began to inquire about various gossips. After asking around, they heard that Zhao Teng had met some Guizhou leaders, and these Guizhou leaders seemed to have some relationship with Huaiguzi...
So, when everyone looked at Zhao Teng, their eyes changed, thinking that he was Huai Guzi's internal correspondent in the court.
Zhao Teng felt aggrieved, but he held back and said nothing.
On this day, Ying Zheng summoned Wang Heng and others to discuss the matter of Huaiguzi.
In line with the principle of killing all Li Shui's party, Wang Heng repeatedly attacked Zhao Teng.
Zhao Teng couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Those Guizhou chiefs are here to file a complaint. The one they are suing is you, Wang Heng."
Wang Heng sneered in his heart: His true identity has been revealed? He is really Huaiguzi's accomplice? Don't you want to keep pretending?
Zhou Qingchen was surprised and happy: Banishing the Immortal was so powerful that he even managed to win over Zhao Teng.
