Chapter 333 Look, that’s where Zhong Shiquan jumped down...

——

"My lord, Sima Guang, pays homage to His Highness."

Zhao Shi did not sit upright on his horse, but dismounted hurriedly and supported Sima Guang: "Junshi, please get up. Junshi is busy with official duties, so there is no need to come to greet me."

Sima Guang smiled bitterly: "Your Highness is kind and virtuous, but your Highness is the king and the minister is the minister. How can the king arrive and the minister not welcome him? Secondly, the minister is guilty, but the highness is innocent. How can there be no guilt in not welcoming the king?"

present."

Said,

Without waiting for Zhao Shi's reaction,

Sima Guang then turned around and glanced at the dozen or so officials from Taiyuan Prefecture who were following him, and then... more than ten people knelt down in unison, and Sima Guang hissed: "I wait and watch Zhong Shiquan greedily leave the city and commit suicide in defeat, I wait...

...It’s also a capital crime.”

Bang

Said,

One end knocked on the ground.

As for Zhao Shi, not to mention the police officer, even Zhao Shi couldn't help but froze for a long time, and then... inevitably a little... said gloomily: "What did you say?"

Sima Guang lay down on the ground upright and spoke clearly: "After Zhong Shiquan arrived in Bingzhou, he often drank heavily. After drinking, he clamored to leave the city to fight for His Highness and to take back the lost fields.

, In addition, in these days in Xixia, there are always soldiers coming to provoke. The day before yesterday, without noticing, I actually let him charge out with more than a hundred soldiers, and then returned with a heavy defeat. I was worried that something would happen again, so I was anxious.

He rushed there in a hurry, but in the end it was too late. Zhong Shiquan, feeling guilty about the defeat, finally jumped down in front of the ancient plank road and committed suicide."

Buzz

The back of Zhao Shi's head felt numb for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to support the horse's back, and then asked calmly: "Where is the body?"

"What are you asking about the corpse?"

Zhou Tong jumped off his horse long ago. When he heard Zhao Shi's inquiry, he couldn't help but pointed at Sima Guang and cursed: "It must have been ruined by this dog officer. Your Highness, please give the order! As long as you give the order, my subordinates will

The stick of incense can make him regret being born in this world."

"Shut up."

Zhao Shi turned his head and cursed fiercely, then looked down at Sima Guang and took a breath: "Where is the body?"

"Not found."

Sima Guang smiled bitterly, he also knew that he had neglected his duty this time.

"Not found?"

As for the people on Zhao Shi's side, not to mention Zhou Tong, who has a bad temper, even Zhe Liang couldn't help but say: "Didn't you already know that you committed suicide the day before yesterday? Why haven't you found it today?"

but,

Fortunately, Sima Guang didn't even raise his head. However, several civil servants behind Sima Guang were also full of resentment. They couldn't help but raise their heads and said: "Come on, there is an ancient plank road. You will know it if you go there and take a look. Don't tell me.

It has been two days, that is, three to five days, or even three to five years. If you are not lucky, you will not be able to find the body. Secondly, that kind of world power will only look like a person for the first three days in Taiyuan Mansion. Three days later,

Either he beats or scolds the soldiers and officials, or he is too drunk to go out. Sima Tongjian came to the door several times to persuade him, but was turned away. What do you want us to do? Watch him day and night?"

even……

"Pooh."

Some officials ignored Zhao Shi's presence and cursed severely: "You deserve to die."

"What did you say?"

Although Zhou Tong was not close friends with Zhong Shiquan, he had worked with Zhong Shiquan after all, and they were both close confidants of His Highness. It was inevitable that he was still a bit sad. When Zhao Shi glared at the civil servant who spoke,

He didn't stop him, he just looked at Sima Guang and said: "Mr. Sima, in that case, please take us to the so-called ancient plank road to take a look!"

"Your Highness."

Before Sima Guang could speak, a chubby official who was about fifty years old began to persuade him: "Your Highness is tired from traveling and traveling day and night. Why don't you rest for a few days before going to explore again? Besides, I received the message from Your Highness a few days ago.

After receiving the news, we have already started to prepare the banquet and food, why don’t Your Highness enjoy it.”

Zhao Shi looked at him: "Who is your Excellency?"

"I dare not call you Your Excellency in vain." The chubby official couldn't help but show joy on his face: "I am the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture. My surname is Han and my given name is Changdu. Your Highness can call me Changdu."

"Shut up."

Sima Guang glanced at the official coldly. The official was embarrassed for a moment, and then shrank aside. After all, Sima Guang was the general judge of the entire Bingzhou. Sima Guang sighed and said: "Since Your Highness wants to go, I

I dare not not lead you, but the ancient plank road has been in disrepair for a long time and may be dangerous. I boldly ask Your Highness to promise not to go near it. Otherwise, even if His Highness punishes me with death, I will never let you go to that ancient plank road."

"good."

Zhao Shi's face was expressionless.

Half an hour later...

Ancient plank road.

Zhao Shi looked with some surprise at a thin ancient road hanging above the abyss. The ancient road was made of wooden boards and was only three feet wide from left to right. In some places, the cliffs protruded, forcing people to bend down or pass sideways.

Not to mention walking, just looking at it from a distance makes people feel frightened. Zhao Shi was surprised...how could anyone build such an ancient road under such conditions.

real,

uncanny workmanship.

"Your Highness."

Sima Guang stared at Zhao Shi's legs, fearing that Zhao Shi would take another step forward, and he was always ready to hug Zhao Shi's thighs, and then explained: "At noon the day before yesterday (11 to 13

pm), General Zhong Shiquan left the city drunk. I didn’t know until Shen Shi (15 to 17 o’clock). Then, when I arrived, General Zhong Shiquan was standing at the fourth corner in front. I just

When he had time to shout: General, no, he jumped down and only said: "I am sorry for your highness."

Zhao Shi subconsciously took half a step forward...

"Your Highness."

Not only Sima Guang, Zhe Liang, Zhou Tong, but even those Bingzhou officials whose names Zhao Shi might not even remember, all took a step forward, and some even grabbed Zhao Shi's clothes.

Behind the robe, Zhao Shi did not really take any risks. He was an only son. If something happened to him, it is hard to imagine how painful Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao would be after they were lost. Not to mention, he also had two lovely wives.

, Zhao Shi asked Zhou Tong: "Can I go there?"

Zhou Tong stood on the edge of the cliff, looked down, and affirmed: "Okay."

Zhao Shi then nodded and asked someone to look for the rope, then took Zhou Tong and whispered: "You will go there in a while, don't rush to step on that area, you have to observe it carefully, it is best to be able to see that area."

Remove the entire area for me..."

Speaking of which,

Zhao Shi turned his head: "Mr. Sima, where does the ancient plank road here lead to, and is it still useful?"

Sima Guang seemed to be relieved when he saw that Zhao Shi did not impulsively go over to check. Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: "It's useless. This ancient plank road originally led to Yunding Mountain. Now Yunding Mountain has built a new one."

Mountain road, this plank road has been abandoned, and it was not abandoned recently, it was abandoned hundreds of years ago, so when the Zhou army patrols up it later, be careful."

"snort"

Zhou Tong snorted coldly, refusing to accept his kindness. Zhao Shi also snorted, and then Zhou Tong promised to be careful.

Then,

Here comes the rope,

Zhao Shi asked more than ten people to pull him. In fact, the rope was not very useful. It was parallel and not from top to bottom. However, it was better than nothing. Then Zhou Tong carefully grabbed the rotten railing and leaned over there.

Although it is the fourth corner, it is not that no one can be seen. However, if you face the cliff, you can only see half of the profile. Then Zhou Tong stopped in front of the fourth corner, turned around and shouted: "Your Highness, this is

There seem to be some scratches on it.”

Zhao Shi judged the approximate distance, which was about eighty meters in a straight line, and then nodded and said: "Very good, you can observe it carefully, and then you can find a way to get it back to me together with that piece." Then, Zhao Shi also let some go.

The policeman began to prepare the wood and stood on the edge, imitating the shape of that piece and starting to make it bit by bit.

"good."

Zhou Tong was also a very brave man. He swung the rope around his waist and fixed it on a crossbar above his head. Then relying on the pulling of the rope, he jumped to the other side in a volley, and then took out his hand.

Taking out paper and pen, he first followed Zhao Shi's instructions to write and even draw what he could see, and then began to dismantle it bit by bit from far to near. There were also police officers here to greet him, and soon he was in

On the shore, an identical ancient plank road was built for Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi calmly stood by the ancient plank road and observed, observing scratches, observing water stains, observing...

Dang Dang Dang

is observing,
