Chapter 010 Changes
The sparrow may be small, the county government office is so, the ritual system imitation three provinces and six ministries, Bishan County, there are three doors and six rooms, three doors in the soap door that is the place where the XuXuXian pile up, soap officials soap officials, will come from here, as for the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the door of the police, easy to understand, the city of the alleyway of the three-year-old boy also know, as for the responsibility of the room of the six rooms, in terms of the county of Bishan County, county magistrate Feng Jade monopoly of the officials household workers and punishment Four rooms, leaving only the county chancellor Zuo Jing a virtual ritual room, the county lieutenant Bai Shang Xique also counted to get a rich oil and water military room, as for the three doors, Feng Jiao is more into the arms of Feng Jiao, regarded as a forbidden domain, especially the soap door, is the only Feng county magistrate look forward to, especially to let Zuo Jing embarrassed, in fact, Xu Fengyen, the chief of this, the original was supposed to be the hands of Soap Door, but Feng Jiao even the county chancellor Zuo Jing are suppressed squeezed out without mercy, where would be concerned about the “Xu Qi”. “Xu Feng Nian’s mind was on observing the operation of a county government office, as to whether this half-assed chief secretary had any authority or not, it was irrelevant.
Although he is not the climate of the Lord of the thin intention to compete for power, but idle, or will be in the county Yamen three doors and six rooms around around, the prison room prison on the custody of a dozen criminals, three religions and nine streams, a mixture of fish and dragons, there is the inability to old age and intentionally cause trouble to come in to dillydally on the food of the old man, there are trafficking traffickers, there are fights and provocations of the young and strong ruffians, there are also theft of the woman’s bibs to the lowest level of the flower picker sent to jail, but A dozen people, there is only an old man to the shackles, shackles are large shackles, locks are heavy locks, together with thirty-four pounds. Xu Fengyen deliberately looked through the prison files of the prison room, but could not find half a trace, and then is to invite the head of the prison room to drink, it is not easy to get the word out, only know that the old man surnamed Shen, is a murderous in the river state in the reputation out of the world of the river pirates, as if doing a pile of head off the big deal, after the spoils of war is not evenly distributed, last year, in the Youzhou County of Qing case there to the black, seriously injured, fleeing to the county, this off is the majority of the year, the old man was supposed to be early spring of this year, but the old man was not able to do so. Originally should be in the early spring of this year escorted to the county to the beheading, just the change in the state of Youzhou, Bishan County, the new man for the old man, it is delayed, as for why not in the penal house in the file in the register, then the small head of the penal house, even if drunkenness is not clear, is still incoherent, the eyes flicker.
Xu Fengyen anyway, nothing to do, three days to stay in jail, carry pots of green ant wine, bring some bits of meat and sauce to eat, move a chair to sit in the middle of the aisle, with the two sides of the prison guys chatting, to later, in addition to that Shen big robbers, all squatting in prison brothers and sisters have asked him to eat the Lord’s thin green ants wine to drink, Xu Fengyen also rarely refused, and one by one, but also to get along as a Drinking friends in general, the old man Shen has been cold-eyed observers, occasionally open his eyes to see, light, with the words of the criminal room when the police said that the old man has several lives in his hands, there is a murderous gas, heavy yin gas.
Every time the old man with a dry and thin body barely managed to hold his eyes open, there was a sorrowful sneer at the corner of his mouth, looking towards the young chief minister sitting outside the prison, as if he was given a hand to spare, and with one hand, he could pull that head off his shoulders. Whenever this kind of time, this Bishan County, the only felon next door to the prison room of the middle-aged man, there are some try to cover up the worry, the man surnamed Wang, a look on the very honest and honest crop man, seems to be annoyed with the big family of Bishan County, was picked up not to mention the loss of property, but also thrown into the cell, this half a year that the children of the big family has been here twice, every time the sneer and ridicule, and also insidiously threatened that will help to support the wife of the family, and also to help to feed the wife and son. Live that man’s wife and daughter, that is, some of the prisoners in the prison, also think that this guy is too miserable point, not as good as a head-on death to clean, the enemy in the outside to enjoy the mother and daughter flowers, your brother is not with those who sleep often crawl from the face of the rats complain? No wonder he has a pair of sagging eight eyebrows, looks like a life of suffering.
Today Xu Fengyen sat in the cell again to chat with the prisoners, yesterday just received his salary, most of which was seized by Pei Nanwei, I do not know where to hide, only some trivial silver left, said that January’s wine money, they will see how to do. However, nowadays, after Feng Jade decentralized to the chief minister of a workshop, mostly county minister Zuo Jing invited Xu Fengyen to drink, so Xu Fengyen’s hand is not as tight as in the past, but Bishan County, responsible for the cantonment of water conservancy workshop, can only fish some mosquito legs on the meat, it is not worth mentioning, but the important thing is that Feng magistrate took the unprecedented initiative to show the chief minister of the magistracy, so that the magistrates are high on the chief minister of the magistracy, however, Zuo Jing in a drink, intentionally or not! However, Zuo Jing, in a drink, intentionally or unintentionally, pointed out to Xu, who was in the dark, that he should be careful to lead the wolf into the house. Xu Fengyen pretended to be confused, Zuo Jing thought that this kid is obsessed, but also waiting to see the joke.
Xu Fengyen pulled two jailers who have long been familiar with the relationship, the three of them together on the cooked meat wine, if there are inmates greedy, also let the jailer to send some meat and wine, wait until a brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes of the gentleman with a scented capsule to cover his nose into the cell, inevitably a little surprised, the aisle sits in the three drinking and eating meat, most of the prisoners sitting close to the corridor of the prison cell on the side of the wooden rail, the group laughed and laughed, non-sensical talk, the gentleman frowned! , Xu Fenian picked up a wine cup and wiped it with his cuffs, smiled and raised the cup, inquiring if he would like a sip of green ants, this worldly son squinted a bit and ignored it, the two guards knew what was going on and quietly threw a look towards the Lord Lord of Lords, and then pointed to the prisoner surnamed Wang, Xu Fenian smiled knowingly and nodded. The young gentleman walked straight to the cell outside where the cropped man was, and was about to open his mouth to speak, rubbing salt in the guy’s wounds, when there were four robust constables escorting two prisoners of different ages, the older one with thieving eyebrows, the younger one in ragged clothes, but he had a pair of heroic sword eyebrows, which made him, even if his face was full of dirt, people could not help but to look at him for a few more moments, and only felt that it didn’t fit in with this dungeon, however, his steps were slightly slowed down , then he gave the constable a punch on his back, staggered and almost fell to the ground, the older co-conspirator rushed to assist him, giving a few constable lords a smile. Xu Feng Nian asked with a smile, “What’s the offense?”
It’s a blessing from a previous life.”
…”
The soft temperament gentleman took out a brocade money bag, casually threw it to the head of the constable, softly said, “Don’t really make it dead, it’s not a big deal, it’s just a trouble, this gentleman is not afraid of things, only afraid of trouble.”
Made a fortune of the constable hemmed and hawed and laughed: “Brothers have counted, each time to beat him, are padded with two or three layers of cotton cloth, can not see the bruises, are all internal injuries.”
Duke looked around the week, his eyes finally fell on the han surnamed Wang, reached out and pointed, laughed: “These two grubs, or thrown into here.”
The constable did not hesitate and said, “How difficult is that.”
The eunuch turned his head to look at the two thieves, smilingly admonished, “After you go in, take more care of that old resident, take good care of him, and naturally there will be big wine and meat for you.”
The sharp-tongued, monkey-cheeked old vermin swallowed his saliva, glanced at Lord Lord Master’s small wine table, and timidly asked, “This master, can we get a few mouthfuls of wine on credit first, I am sure that as soon as I live in, I will be able to take care of the old resident with the lord’s old acquaintance, and make a good job of it.”
The eunuch looked towards Xu Fengnian, in his opinion, this kind of small matter, a lower county’s chief minister, wouldn’t and wouldn’t dare to refuse. Even if he was an outsider who had only just resumed his duties in Bishan County, he should still know the name of the Song Clan of Rouge County County. Just that he quickly raised his eyebrows, a touch of gloomy hostility surfacing between his brows, that young chief minister even reached out to gently cover the wine cup, clearly not giving him face! That old thief who mostly couldn’t drink the wine saw this scene and was secretly happy, since he unintentionally fanned the flames once and made an official get up in arms with a big dude, it wasn’t worse than a painful drink. Duke Song sniffed the ghostly fragrance of the broken sandalwood slices of the scented capsule and smiled grimly, “Good, I didn’t expect that there are still characters in Bishan County that I, Song Yu, can’t invite, I’ll learn from you.”
The middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who had never accosted Xu Fengnian, raised his head and smiled gratefully at this “uneducated official” chief.
Song Yu, the son of Song Clan of Rouge County, walked out of the cell, and the constable, after pushing the two grubs into the cell bars, also left with a big stride, and even skipped the farewell as a subordinate after Master Xu got into trouble with Mr. Song.
Unintentionally making enemies, Lord Xu stood up and was about to leave the cell, the old man with the big yoke on the felon suddenly grinned, “Surnamed Xu’s boy, you’re an interesting official, I drink a few cups of wine from you without minding dirtying my mouth, come on, bring wine to me.”
Xu Fengyen was indifferent and walked out of the cell, leaving all the wine and meat to the jailer.
The old guy cursed on his mouth, but his eyes locked with the two new neighbors, each nodding their heads.
It was a moonlit night, Xu Fengyen was on duty in the work room, which was in the same row as the torture room but in a different row, a bit further back, but not far from the jail. Don’t look at Bishan County is a not worth mentioning under the county, but the patrol door catch door with the criminal room handyman more than a good hand, originating from Bishan County jurisdiction is big, is a lot of right and wrong, and the Yamen quota is just a little bit, not a little bit of real ability to squat thatched pit, this thatched pit has long been tossed to those who outlawed the stench of the sky, the county yamen before the previous set of officials is still quite clear about the weight of the case, the murder of the case of too much pile up, is not a small thing that the face of the face over the past not to go through. The work room is only one person, Xu Fengnian. Workshop on Xu Fengyen alone, he suddenly stood up, poured a glass of wine, wine out of the house, “coincidentally” bumped into four people from the cell swaggering out of the jailer’s clothes, wearing not quite fit, look a little funny, Xu Fengyen, “a look of bewilderment” froze in the On the spot, was about to speak out, to the shackles off the shackles of the old felon as fast as thunder, a fist smashed in the forehead, the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord, quietly landing without a sound, the old man dry ten fingers interlaced wringing, hehehe laughs: “A long time did not move a tendon, a moment did not hold back, almost missed the big event of the Golden Cicada Shell.”
Behind the old man three people have two vermin, there is that miserable life of the Wang family name crop man, the latter saw this scene, some of the heart can not bear it, the first two are indifferent, which the young man walked up, glanced at the ground lying on the floor of the Bishan County main thin, softly said: “Shen seniors, this person has an official body, might as well take away as a hostage, the Bishan County’s night patrols have always been rigorous, it is tricky, if it is the midway made a mistake, can also have a talisman, wait into the mountain, then kill is not too late.”
The old man thought about it, beckoned to that Zhuang Han, said, “Wang Shifu, you will still have some energy, carry this person on your back, go into the mountain with the old man, in the future, you want to seek that Song’s children to take revenge, it is easy to do.”
The perennially bitter-looking cropper muffled his words and carried Lord Xu on his back.
Four people plus a was knocked out of the past, familiar with the road, the young man who robbed the prison opened the way, meet the sound will stop and hide, really can not hide, on the leap onto the wall, lightweight, the only Wang Shih-Mei futile a few pounds of brute force, talk about the martial arts skills, are surnamed Shen’s old man gently grabbed the shoulder, piggybacking on the two or three zhang high wall, this is probably the common people called the flying eaves walking on the wall. A line of people left the county government office without danger, Bishan County and no deep trenches and high walls, tonight also did not meet a team of city guards, so easy and comfortable far away, in a secluded path, there are three riders in black to meet, with three unridden horses, the old man toes point, fell on the back of a horse, no outsiders, laughed aloud and said: “Liu Yu, you and Wang Shimai ride together, and by the way, slaughtered! Liu Yu, you and Wang Shiwei ride together, and by the way, kill that master, throw the corpse into the wilderness, as if I left a parting gift to Bishan County!”
The cropped man said boldly, “This Lord Thief is not a bad person, is the old-timer being merciful?”
The old man snorted, “Whether it’s a good person or not, it’s hard to say with the hearts of people, but since it’s a good official, it deserves to die anyways! Wang Shiwei, where did you get the womanly kindness, a dog can’t change his ways! You deserve to have your wife and daughter insulted and bullied by that powerless son of a big clan, in my place, even without this style, I can still kill that sissy with the scented pouch today!”
The man was silent, wanting to speak, seeing the young man addressed as Liu Yu by the old-timer walking towards him, clenched his teeth, moved his feet, backed up a few steps, seemingly making up his mind to protect the life of the young official on his back.
The old man saw in the eyes, frowned and said: “Wang Shihui, the old man by hand to take you out of prison, is the thought that you are also a poor man, do not get an inch, the old man’s temperament is indeed a thousand times better than when I was young, but the jianghu peers gifted to the death of the heart of the hand nicknamed is still there. You do not put down the main thin, Liu Yu want to even kill you together, I will not be concerned. What’s more, if you want to find a place to sit in the immortal coffin cave, you have to kill a person as a token of appreciation, I finally give you a chance, either accompany that shit with the Lord of thin together to the Yellow Springs, or personally killed that kid behind you, the scenery on the talisman mountain, I have some friendship with the master of the cave master, but also for you to say a few words of good. Otherwise, even if you go to the mountain, no one will treat you as a green onion, weigh yourself!”
The honest man was at war with the heavens and hesitated.
Bishan County jail out of this file of trouble, soon alarmed the county magistrate county minister two adults, Feng Jiao face gloomy, the second-in-command county minister Zuo Jing is expressionless, the heart of the thief, let you Feng Jiao power in the hands of the felon surnamed Shen escaped and not to mention that, after all, at first it was not recorded, but also can be mended, but that the surname of the king, is to the county snake of the song’s children think of the goods, or not so much! The county jail was used to get the small Bishan County side, Feng Jade can’t even do this little thing, and still hope to get promoted to Rouge County in the future? Even if you are lucky enough to go there, aren’t you afraid that Song will give you small shoes and trip you up? Hearing the report of Song Yu’s visit to the county government office, Zuo Jing slightly inclined his head, staring at the big red candle as thick as a baby’s arm on the hall, and had some hard time to hide his happy smile. But Zuo Jing soon could not laugh out, because the high family son of Song Yu in the request to dismiss the county court miscellaneous people, leaving only the county magistrate county minister two parents, and only then converge arrogant look, cupped fists and said: “Song Yu previously offended the two Lords, I hope to bear with you. Shen Li, nicknamed the King of Death, is a bandit who has been on the run for many years in Youzhou, and Song Yu has hung an identity in the Rouge County Criminal Court, while Wang Shimi is the head of constables in Qingzheng County, and all of his schemes are intended to intentionally release the tiger to return to the mountain, and to find out the lair of that talismanic mountain. In addition to Lord Wang, there is also County Lieutenant Bai, invited the elite scouts of the Weak River Lieutenant as well as one hundred light cavalry, when the time comes, only need to cooperate with Lord Wang inside and outside ……”
At this time, the Yamen lobby walked into a woman carrying a food box to deliver a snack.
Song Yu was a bit stunned, this woman’s beauty is rare not to mention, why can straight into the heavily guarded Yamen important place? It is the official’s family, should not be so reckless ah.
County magistrate Feng Jiao and County Chancellor Zuo Jing mood coincidentally good up, Feng Jiao quietly smoothed only the corner of the mouth, a face of sadness said: “Mrs. Xu, Xu main thin to the prison hijacking criminals captured, temporary life and death do not know, but I implore you to be relieved, the Bishan County Yamen will do their best to save …… ”
Do not wait for the magistrate adults finished, the woman clear and faint oh, turn around and go.
Zuo Jing twisted his whiskers and smiled, it’s hard to believe that this face when the four words of a scourge of the country and the people of the woman, and the blessing of the Xu main thin is actually the husband and wife do not get along? Zuo Jing glanced at the eyes of the county magistrate adults, heart cold smile, Xu main thin ah Xu main thin, even if you do not die in the hands of bandits, but also have to die in the hands of the county magistrate adults.
There is a famous Spring and Autumn saying how to say? Zuo Jing quickly remembered: brother and peace of mind to die, your wife I support.
Zuo Jing is now thinking about how to ask for a cup of leftovers with the county magistrate, or convergence has been waiting for the backhand, do not fight to the death, and sincerely assist the high-minded and proud magistrate, the worst thing is that the two people and harmony to do a return to the table under the brother-in-law?
Pei Nanwei out of the county government office, walking in the cold street, looked at the night, softly said: “night does not come back to sleep is it, still think that hit the ground did not have enough?”
