Chapter 235 Self-imprisonment in Guanyue Tower
"Second uncle, please use some vegetable rice. Even if it doesn't taste good, it's good to drink some chicken soup. Now that things have come to this, if you don't eat or drink, and you can't live with yourself, what can you do to save yourself?"
In Shen Zuo's study in the Governor's Mansion, Shen Ya patiently persuaded Shen Zuo with some food.
The governor sat slumped on the chair behind the desk, with a slumped expression and a look of despair on his face.
He didn't look at his niece, but turned his head and looked out the window.
Night fell outside, and my vision was blocked, so I couldn't see very far.
However, the dim lights on the tall building dozens of feet away were still quite conspicuous.
There is the Guanyue Tower of Qingcheng's famous Governor's Mansion!
The building is so high that you can pick stars and look at the moon as if it were in the sky.
Nearly a month ago, Guanyue Tower became the most dazzling place in Liangzhou, supporting the reputation of the decisive battle between Chu Tang and Xu Lingfeng.
Today, Guanyue Tower has become the eye of the storm in Liangzhou, with the possibility of causing a storm at any time.
The protagonist among them is still because of Chu Tang!
In Shen Zuo's heart, he believed that Chu Tang and him were at odds. Otherwise, why would he be blamed every time the other party did something?
"This guy must be sent by God to punish me!" Shen Zuo has said this no less than ten times today, and he has been talking about it all afternoon.
In fact, he was too frightened in the second half of today.
At noon, Chu Tang came to the governor's mansion and asked to see him.
Shen Zuo happened to be in the house, so he invited him in.
These days, Shen Zuo has also heard about the grievances between Chu Tang and Nanqing Hou Shizi, and is quite worried about it, fearing that the two of them will get into trouble and he will end up cleaning up the mess.
Fortunately, in the past ten days or so, the two parties have been at peace with each other, giving him a few days to live in peace.
Just when he was wondering why Chu Tang came to him, when they met, Chu Tang's first words shocked him so much that he almost fell to the ground!
"Master Shen, Chu killed Wang Haochen." Chu Tang came up and got straight to the point.
Which Wang Haochen?
Shen Zuo was stunned for a while, and then he immediately realized: Prince Nanqinghou!
He hurriedly asked what was going on. Chu Tang did not hide anything or add any fuel to the fire. Instead, from the time Zhao Ziyu came to him for help, to what happened to Chang Xiaoming, and to today when Chu Tang broke into the Hou Mansion and went on a killing spree, everything happened before. I talked about it in detail.
Finally, Chu Tang explained the purpose of his visit: "All affairs east of Qingcheng are under the jurisdiction of Mr. Shen. Chu is still a police officer in Gui County. He accidentally killed the prisoner when he was arresting the prisoner today. Since the other party has a special identity, he also I can only come here to ask Mr. Shen to apologize."
"Do you want me to thank you?" Shen Zuo looked into Chu Tang's serious eyes and almost choked to death.
He was extremely depressed and panicked. His whole body was shaking. He pointed at Chu Tang who was covered in blood and was speechless.
Yes, he was ready to kill Chu Tang.
If he hadn't been unable to defeat the opponent, he would have rushed forward and fought to the death!
Marquis of Nanqing, Wang Yang, that unparalleled murderer!
His son died in Qingcheng, in the area under his jurisdiction, Shen Zuo. No matter who killed him, the Liangzhou governor could not shirk his responsibility.
What's more, it was Chu Tang who killed him!
The actions taken by the Guijun policemen are indeed closely related to him, the governor of Liangzhou!
Shen Zuo knew that he was now covered in yellow mud, which was either shit or shit.
Wang Yang will never let him have an easy time!
As the governor, Shen Zuo had his own channels, and he understood Wang Yang's character better than ordinary people.
Why did Wang Yang become a marquis?
Martial arts?
Don't be kidding, with only six levels of combat power, there are many high-ranking military officials who are more powerful than him.
Military merit?
There are some, but military achievements can be great or small.
The descendants of many generals in the Yao court had practiced martial arts since childhood, and their martial arts skills were not much worse than Wang Yang's. Moreover, these people had been familiar with military books since childhood, and had learned from their fathers, so their military talents were not inferior.
During their entire military life, they may not be able to obtain the military merit of becoming a marquis.
But Wang Yang, a commoner who joined the army halfway, was made a marquis before he was forty years old. It was because he was ruthless!
Not only be ruthless to your enemies, but also ruthless to yourself.
Being ruthless to the enemy means that he only kills and wounds the enemy and never takes prisoners. Most of the enemy troops defeated by him are left alive. He is a great killer.
It is said that when the barbarians heard Wang Yang's name, they either gritted their teeth and wished they could eat his flesh, or they were too frightened to resist.
Stopping children from crying at night refers to Wang Yang's deterrent effect on the Rong people.
He hates himself because once he fights for his life, he often throws himself into the most cruel battles without any care, leaving no way out for himself.
That is to say, he risked his life many times and survived, and fought his way out of the rebel army, which also gave him the honor and prestige of Nanqinghou.
Murderous, murderous, cruel, cruel...
It is difficult to generalize about Wang Yang, but no matter who it is, they all know that once he is jealous, he can do anything.
Although Shen Zuo is a martial arts practitioner, his martial arts is not high. As a civil servant, he has always been afraid of such people.
Now because of Chu Tang, he was about to compete with Wang Yang. He felt cold in his heart and was extremely frightened.
No, even if he temporarily took Chu Tang into custody, he was still worried all afternoon. He didn't think about food, had a loss of appetite, and couldn't muster the energy to deal with things. He languished for a whole day.
In fact, he was a little timid when facing Chu Tang——
Shen Zuo couldn't use any other words to describe someone who dared to kill even Nan Qinghou's only son, except writing a big word "submit" to him.
I am both impressed and helpless.
No, Chu Tang was detained in name, but in fact he didn't dare to go too far with him. He placed him in Guanyue Tower and ordered the guards of the Governor's Mansion to guard him downstairs.
Today's Guanyue Building is fully equipped with beds, toiletries, clothing, and food. Where is the place where prisoners can enjoy themselves?
Shen Zuo's behavior of not eating or drinking still made the people below anxious, so they had to report to Shen Ya, the eldest daughter of the Shen family who Shen Zuo always loved.
So, Shen Ya came to the door with food in person to persuade her.
"Second uncle, people are like iron, food is like steel..."
"Don't eat! Just don't eat!" Shen Zuo waved his hands impatiently like a child, "Xiaoya, the second uncle really has no appetite now, please let the second uncle calm down for a while."
Shen Ya snorted coldly: "Second uncle, you brought this trouble on yourself, who is to blame!"
"Did I ask for it?"
"You detained Chu Tang in the Governor's Mansion!"
Shen Zuo looked innocent and pointed at himself and said: "There are so many guards in Nanqinghou Mansion and so many soldiers in the garrison, but they can't stop him from committing crimes! With his light kung fu and his martial arts, what do you think of me, a three-legged cat?" Kung Fu and the little guard power of the Governor's Mansion, can he be detained? He chose to stay, okay! Didn't you see that I didn't even dare to put him in prison? I lent the entire Moon Viewing Tower to him He lives!"
Shen Zuo only had one idea: Chu Tang imprisoned himself in Guanyue Tower, and he was also very scared, okay?
"Why did he make this choice?" Shen Ya couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows! Are you crazy? Are you stupid? Or maybe you are too busy and have nothing to do, so you can entertain me!"
Shen Ya had nothing to say about this.
Probably only Chu Tang himself knew the purpose of this.
Shen Zuo sighed in frustration: "This guy won't let me live in peace until he dies!"
Shen Ya hummed, gently put the plate in her hand on the desk, and said, "Second uncle, I have already asked our Dean Tao about Chu Tang. Don't you want to hear her opinion?"
"Tao Ying?" Shen Zuo perked up and sat up straight.
He had heard that when Chu Tang killed Wang Haochen, Tao Ying was also present and could be considered one of the parties involved.
Tao Ying was well-known in Qingcheng for both her martial arts and intelligence. Shen Zuo did not dare to underestimate her. Now that he was at a loss, he wished that someone could give him some advice.
"Xiaoya, what did Dean Tao say? Tell me quickly!" Shen Zuo was anxious.
Shen Ya said nothing and pointed to the food on the table with a smile on her face.
"you……"
"Eat! I'll talk about it after you finish." Shen Ya was unmoved.
Shen Zuo had no choice but to pull the food in front of him, lick it fiercely, and devour it for a while. After eating most of it, he pushed the rice bowl away, touched his mouth, and said eagerly: "Xiaoya, is it time to talk?"
Shen Ya nodded, and while clearing away the dishes, she said, "Second uncle, do you know where I found Dean Tao?"
"If you put it like that, it's definitely not in the academy."
Shen Ya said: "I went to the academy first, but couldn't find her. Later, when I asked about her, I found out that she was at the Mian Yiwei station."
"Guiyiwei?" Shen Zuo was shocked.
As a civil servant, he had never had a good impression of the guards who could bypass the court and have the power of life and death over countless people.
But he also knew that Dayao and the royal family also needed the existence of guards.
The governor's office and the guards have always been cooperating with each other in Qingcheng, and the two sides have handled many things together.
"Yes! I can't let the governor's office take this matter on my own. I have to pull the guards into the water!" Shen Zuo suddenly realized, "Xiaoya, it is said that Dean Tao has always treated Chu Tang favorably, so she went to the guards for help. ?”
Shen Ya said: "Before returning to the Governor's Mansion, I went to see Dean Tao at the Zhenyiwei station. She said that the deputy commander of the Zhenyiwei had already reported the matter to the Zhenyiwei commander in Yuncheng. Waiting for instructions from above."
"What about me? Did Dean Tao say what to do?" Shen Zuo asked eagerly.
Shen Ya's face became more solemn and she said: "Dean Tao said that this matter concerns Marquis Nanqing, and Marquis Nanqing is currently training under the command of the Governor of Liangzhou."
Shen Zuo waited for Shen Ya to continue, but the latter didn't speak for a long time. He couldn't help blurting out and asked: "No more?"
"No. Dean Tao only said this." Shen Ya followed with a bitter smile, "Second uncle, I have been thinking about this sentence all the way, and it only means one thing, that is, the water is too deep and you can't control it. Let’s drag the governor down quickly.”
Shen Zuo clapped his hands and said angrily: "Do you think I'm stupid? After leaving Chu Tang behind, I immediately sent someone to report to the governor."
Well, everyone is very sneaky, and they have one purpose: If I can’t live well, you can’t live well either!
If the deputy commander of the Yiyi Guards can't handle it, then drag the commander of the Yiyi Guards into the water.
The governor doesn't know how to deal with it, so let the governor take over this hot potato.
The two of them may push back on other matters, including Marquis Nanqing, and they can't stay out of it even if they want.
Otherwise, Marquis Nanqing will make things worse, and no one will be able to reap the benefits!
Seeing Shen Zuo's unhappy look, Shen Ya added, "Second uncle, isn't it enough to report once? I think in addition to sending people to report, you have to ask the messenger to report a few more times. The situation is getting better each time. If it’s serious, the governor won’t dare to neglect it. I think Dean Tao’s intention is to ask the commander of the Yiyi Guards or the governor to take action earlier than Marquis Nanqing. If it’s too late, it will be useless!”
Shen Zuo suddenly realized, slapped his head, and was very annoyed: "Look at my stupid head! Xiaoya, you are a young man who has quick thoughts! Come on! I will report twelve flying letters to the governor in a row now. I have to let him I’m also worried and scared!”
With that said, Shen Zuo didn't care about Shen Ya's presence, spread out the pen and paper on the desk and started writing a letter.
Shen Ya smiled when she saw this. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the Guanyue Tower with twinkling stars in the darkness in the distance. Her face gradually became serious and she sighed in her heart: "Chu Tang, I can only help you get here..."
On this day, there were many people running for Chu Tang.
Needless to say, Tao Ying.
After parting with Chu Tang, she went straight to the Yiyi Guard station and found Tang Yue.
Before she arrived, Tang Yue, who had always been well-informed, knew that Chu Tang had killed Wang Haochen.
As soon as he heard Tao Ying's arrival, he guessed the other party's intention, and his head swelled. He couldn't turn him away, so he had to bite the bullet and meet him.
When he met Tao Ying, Tang Yue directly said that he could not handle the matter and had already reported it to the Liangzhou Commander of the Guards.
When Tao Ying heard this, she immediately laughed and said that was fine.
Then, she stayed at the Zhenyiwei station and waited for a reply from the Zhenyiwei commander.
This wait is just one day.
In addition to Tao Ying, after the news of Chu Tang's murder spread in the afternoon, Su Qingyue, who heard about it in Wutong Academy, turned pale with fright and almost fainted.
If she had no martial arts skills and only had a partial understanding of Jianghu affairs, then having grown up in Qingcheng, she was familiar with Nan Qinghou's power and reputation.
It was through this understanding that she realized how bad the consequences would be if Chu Tang killed Wang Haochen. She was in poor health and was weakened by the impact.
She had no time to blame Chu Tang and had been worried for a long time. After asking her maid Xiaoyou to clean up, she hurried back to Su's house.
Today's Su family still looks like the same Su family, but their energy and spirit are different.
In the east of the city, after the Cheng family was annexed by them, the Su family became the largest family in the area.
With their power soaring, they walked with wind and looked much more confident.
This was the first time Su Qingyue returned to the Su family after returning to Qingcheng from Guijun. As soon as she entered the house, she found that the elders, brothers and sisters in the family were in high morale and had cheerful faces.
Without the involvement of the Cheng family, the majesty and importance of Su Qingyue's father, Su Hongyi County's prefect, were once again reflected, and she received a warm welcome at the Su family.
But when they heard that she asked the Su family to come forward to help a group of Chu Tangs, everyone stopped talking.
Chu Tang, who killed Wang Haochen, is now all the limelight in Qingcheng, but everyone knows that he will face fierce revenge from Nan Qinghou, and not many people dare to get involved with him.
The Su family didn't dare either.
No matter how Su Qingyue interceded, even if she said she didn't need the Su family to come forward openly, it would be enough if they were willing to provide some convenience when Chu Tang fled.
There are only two routes suitable for Chu Tang's escape.
One is to go out of the south gate and return to Guijun, but this is not the best choice.
A better choice is to take the east gate out of Liangzhou, enter Jingzhou, and wander around the world.
And the Su family, just east of Qingcheng, could provide great convenience at that time.
But the elders of the Su family couldn't guarantee this, and they didn't even mention Chu Tang's contribution to their destruction of the Cheng family.
No matter how much Su Qingyue begged, they were indifferent and said they could not help.
Su Qingyue had no choice but to return disappointed.
In addition to Su Qingyue, Chen Suming, who lives in the Biejia Mansion in Liangzhou, can't help but worry about Chu Tang.
She inquired about Chu Tang's deeds from her brother-in-law's family more than once.
She didn't quite understand the impact of Chu Tang's killing of Wang Haochen, but when she heard people in the mansion say that Chu Tang was detained in the governor's mansion this time, he would definitely have a narrow escape.
Nanqinghou Wang Yang must kill him!
Chen Suming couldn't do much to help, and in his eagerness, he could only secretly pray that Chu Tangji would have his own destiny.
"Chu Tang, why don't you run away?" While praying, Chen Suming was puzzled by Chu Tang's choice.
She knew better than many people that Chu Tang was extremely skilled in qinggong. If he wanted to escape, even the tallest city wall would not be able to stop him from leaving, let alone the Governor's Mansion.
In fact, like her, many people were surprised by Chu Tang's choice after they came to their senses.
What is he doing now?
What is the ultimate purpose of staying in Qingcheng?
…
Crazy asking for monthly tickets! I was pushed to eleventh again.
