[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

Escorted back to Beijing, four words are too serious.

Gongsun Ce claims to be innocent, and has never been ashamed of the Song Dynasty or the common people, but now Pang Tongtong's words have turned Gongsun Ce from a third-rank censor into a prisoner, and a prisoner who has liaison with foreign enemies. Such humiliation, It was no less than slapping Gongsun Ce in public.

It would take half a month for the Hejian Mansion to return to Beijing, even if they were on a fast track. Gongsun Ce thought that he would be punished on the spot by Pang Tong for abusing his private power, but unexpectedly Pang Tong said such a sentence, and he was just escorted back to Beijing.

But what was even more unexpected was that Pang Tong personally escorted him back to Beijing.

Hua Manlou accompanied them all the way, and Gongsun Ce's treatment was not what a prisoner should have. The group of them changed into ordinary clothes and called themselves businessmen along the way, but no one doubted it.

On the second day after leaving Hejian Mansion, Gongsun Ce pushed open Pang Tong's door and stared at Pang Tong, who was at ease, "Pang Tong, a gentleman is magnanimous, what are you planning?"

"Master Gongsun, I never consider myself a gentleman."

"you--"

"You are my prisoner now, please respect yourself and go back to your room." Pang Tong smiled and looked at the angry Gongsun Ce, and looked over his shoulder at Huamanlou behind Gongsun Ce, "You might as well spend Huamanlou Lou Lai is calm, you seem to be very close, study hard with your friend, don't be so impulsive, if you replace me with anyone else, you will have met Hades by now."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce suppressed the anger in his heart, shook his sleeves and left.

Pang Tong is too deceitful.

Back in the room, Hua Manlou shook his head and said with a smile: "Pang Tong is deliberately pissing you off, so why bother with him, he must have a certain purpose when he comes back to Beijing dressed like this, and it's hard to guess what purpose it is. .”

"Pang Tong concealed his identity and went back to Beijing. Sending me off in person was just a cover, a cover for the spies in the army. Concealing his identity was not to guard against those who wanted his life, but to guard against Zhao Zhen. A general in a garrison did not The emperor is not allowed to return to the capital when he is summoned, he must have returned to the capital because of a major incident in the capital, and he had to go back."

"What can make Pang Tong go through such trouble must be related to the Pang family."

"The Pang family, is it Grand Master Pang?"

"perhaps."

Gongsun Ce was lost in thought, could it really be Grand Master Pang's accident?If this is the case, then there are traces of Pang Tong's current approach. It was not a whim, but he planned to charge him with a crime and escort him back to Beijing on the day they left the barracks.

If it is just an ordinary soldier, there is no need to escort him back to Beijing at all, he will be executed right away, but he is different, he is an official of the imperial court and a third-rank official, it is reasonable to escort him back to Beijing, and it is reasonable for him to escort him back. Even if Zhao Zhen finds out about returning to Beijing, there are reasons to prevaricate.

Sure enough, Pang Tong was very cunning, and he never let anyone hold him back.

Hua Manlou listened to Gongsun Ce's silence, knowing that Gongsun Ce had listened and understood, and continued: "No matter what happens to Pang Tong, returning to Beijing, isn't it exactly the same as our plan?"

"When Pang Tong returned to the capital, a pool of water in the capital that had been able to maintain the surface peace would cause big waves. Fortunately, the king of Xiangyang is not in the capital now, otherwise it would be a good show after another." Gongsun Ce thought of going back to the capital to meet The right thing can't help but feel stuck in my heart, and the days that are a little calmer will disappear again.

The capital city is even more dangerous than this border, and they always do things with their heads up. Originally, there was a Pang Taishi who was difficult to deal with, and now there is a Pang Tong who went back to disturb a pool of water. The situation in the capital city is even more complicated. The Winter Throne.

Hua Manlou picked up the teacup from the tea tray, put it on the table and poured a cup of tea for Gongsun Ce, "Bao Zheng should be in Zhao Zhen's hands."

"kindness?"

"If it was in Grand Master Pang's hands, Pang Tong would not be in a hurry to go back."

"It makes some sense, but I don't know what's going on in Beijing now." When I came to the border, the news from the capital didn't come through at all, as if I was isolated from the world, but I learned a lot about the brutality of the Liao people , making Gongsun Ce hate the Liao people even more.

"It's never too late to go back and understand. There is always time. Besides, it will take ten days before we go back to the capital. After we go back, I'm afraid it will look different again." Even if Feige came here at this time, The letter arrived in their hands just a few days ago.

Once the affairs of the government are disturbed, they will change rapidly, and there may be earth-shaking changes overnight.

Gongsun Ce took a sip of tea, looked up at Huamanlou, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, "Your temperament is really hard for others to imitate. If someone disguises yourself as you, I can tell at a glance."

"Of course it can."

"Tch, it's like this every time."

"But how do you want to clear yourself of the crime Pang Tong put on you when you go back?"

"Zhao Zhen is at the time of employing people. After all, I still have a trump card in my hand. Do you think he will kill me himself? I have the matter of Pang Tong in his hands. He will not kill me and he can't kill me." Gongsun Ce said firmly: "Besides There is also a guarantee, even if I can't clear my name, Bao Zheng will also clear my name, if he can't, you won't just die, right?"

"Oh?"

"Could it be that Playboy intends to watch me go to the guillotine?"

"Hua has never done the matter of robbing the law field, maybe she can give it a try."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce burst out laughing, his laughter was hearty, and he didn't look like a guilty person at all, "With your words, I can rest assured."

"Before you and me, this is enough."

"I don't think anyone is hurt, but I don't know that Playboy is so defensive. I thought Playboy was always right and wrong." Gongsun Ce couldn't help but teased again.

Unexpectedly, Hua Manlou was not someone else, and responded with a smile, "It also depends on who they are, and naturally different people are treated differently."

After Gongsun Ce heard this sentence, the corners of Gongsun Ce's mouth curved even deeper.

Pang Tong in the next room heard Gongsun Ce's laughter and became even more curious about the relationship between Huamanlou and Gongsun Ce. It's too bold to be like Hua Manlou, it's so bold that people can't believe their own guesses.

"General."

"The latest situation in the capital."

"This thing was done by the Eight Sage Kings. Now the Grand Master is under house arrest. The evidence is undeniable. However, the emperor has not responded yet. Bao Zheng and the Eight Sage Kings have the same nostrils. Now the Grand Master is afraid--"

"I'll be back in a few days."

"Seven days at the earliest."

"Then hurry back as soon as possible." Pang Tong tapped on the table, squinting his eyes, "Have any details been found out about this Huamanlou? There is no one in this world that I, Pang Tong, cannot find."

Jiang Yun was stunned when he heard the words, Pang Tong's hidden anger was really angry, and he said carefully: "I found some, but there is nothing about Huamanlou's childhood, only some things that suddenly appeared in Yangzhou a while ago, general, Huamanlou He is just an outsider, at most he has something to do with Gongsun Ce, do we really need to go to great lengths to investigate him?"

"Check out the Myth Invasion."

When Pang Tong said this, there was no room for change, and Jiang Yun didn't say any more, but said: "Yes, my subordinates will continue to investigate."

"Keep an eye on Zhao Defang, this person has always been in trouble with the Pang family, no matter what the reason is, it's always right to keep an eye on him."

"The person who sent someone has been watching secretly."

"Well, you go down."

"Yes."

Pang Tong sent Jiang Yun away, and sat alone in the room, he couldn't help thinking of the rare softness between Gongsun Ce's eyebrows when Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou came back that day.

Huamanlou is gentle and polite. Everyone in the army knows that, and they will not make things difficult for Huamanlou, but Gongsun Ce treats everyone with a gentle, humble and confident appearance. Seeing him is like eating dynamite, it will explode at one point, and the two disagree after one sentence.

It is rare to say ten sentences once or twice, and the back is full of gunpowder.

This Gongsun Ce is really bold.

With the corners of his lips hooked in amusement, Pang Tong stood up and walked out of the next room, and knocked on the door, "This commander wants to interrogate the prisoner, please trouble Lord Gongsun, ah no, Gongsun Ce, come to my room."

"Is this Pang Tong sick?" Gongsun Ce muttered, stood up and opened the door, staring at Pang Tong, "What do you want to do?"

"Arrest the prisoner."

"You—" The four words made Gongsun Ce's suppressed anger surge up again. He was driven away just now, but now he is coming to interrogate the prisoner?What an interrogation criminal, Pang Tong is really defiant to the extreme.

"Why do you come here in person? I'm a prisoner. You can send a pawn here."

"Hey, that's not right. I have to come in person for you." Pang Tong said with a smile, and glanced at Hua Manlou who was still sitting there, "Do you have something to say to him?"

Gongsun Ce turned his head to look at Huamanlou, and his voice slowed down, "I'll come as soon as I go."

"kindness."

"General Pang, you can interrogate the prisoner now." After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he walked out and closed the door behind his back. "Please, General Pang, Huamanlou doesn't know you well. You don't have to be polite all the time. He doesn't like to have sex."

Hearing this, Pang Tong looked at Huamanlou amusedly, and walked back to his room with a smile without saying a word, "I didn't know that the sharp-tongued Gongsun Ce was so protective of a friend, and you didn't care so much about Bao Zheng, otherwise Why don't you inquire about Bao Zheng's whereabouts, maybe I know."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Ce frowned and looked at Pang Tong, "What do you mean?"

"Of course it's what the words mean."

Could it be that Bao Zheng is not in the hands of Zhao Zhen or Grand Master Pang, but in the hands of... Pang Tong?

Impossible, if it is Pang Tongda, there is no need to hide it until now.

"I can't believe what you say."

"You don't believe me when I say I didn't collude with the Liao people?"

Gongsun Ce sat down and said: "Believe it or not, you have done what you have done, and you have done it before. As for the others, it has nothing to do with me."

Pang Tongtong was taken aback, he didn't expect Gongsun Ce to say that.
