Chapter 32: Corruption

Chasing all the way, the scenery changed, sometimes the mountain village, sometimes the jungle, the ox cart gradually slowed down, and saw a river in the distance, Pei Ziyun hid to the side, and saw the Qinglou even the river, the steps were by the water, the weeping willows were continuous, the boatman was slowly rocking, and the woman on the side of the river was washing in the water with a mallet.

This river is the Lu River, which is a traffic artery, connecting dozens of counties and several prefectures along the way, and the merchant ships cruise like a carp, and the river flows endlessly.

In addition to merchant ships, there are also painting boats, which are wooden double-decker ships with more than a dozen rooms on each floor, which are a must-have boat for playing.

At this time, the ox cart stopped, and saw Tang Zhen go down and get on a painting boat, and on the deck inside, there were several girls taking pictures near the water, and thrushes and makeup.

At this time, the sky was not dark, Pei Ziyun did not go, knowing the location, he stared at it from afar, this kind of place, since there is a hotel that sells wine, and there are sporadic rains, so I looked for a hotel, and when I saw it, I saw that this store was called Jijia Hotel.

Entering the store, the faΓ§ade is not big, there are six tables in the two front stores, at this time, due to the cloudy day, the oil lamps have been lit, and there are only seven or eight customers, some eating, some eating and drinking.

When the shop guy saw Pei Ziyun, he waved a cloth towel to greet him and said, "This son, please come in, although the store is not big, the dishes are good, you can taste it." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a half-new sign.

Pei Ziyun looked at it, only nodded, and chose a table in the corner: "On the pot of wine, here by the river, presumably the carp is very fresh, a plate of braised carp, a plate of white chopped chicken, and then a vegetarian dish, a plate of peanuts!"

The shopkeeper immediately shouted: "Okay, Childe wait a minute." ”

Since there are not many guests, the food is served quickly, the white chopped chicken and peanuts are served in only one or two minutes, the carp and fried vegetarian dishes are not slow, and the wine is very ordinary, that is, rice wine.

After a glass of wine, Pei Ziyun exhaled, although it didn't rain just now, the wind blew cold, and now he poured wine and ate vegetables, and gradually eased up.

I saw that even though it was raining, there were still people in clothes on the painting boat.

Pei Ziyun ate the dishes and thought secretly: "I heard that prostitutes are divided into four classes, the first class, and they are not allowed to enter unless they are guided, is it just that those good wives and concubines from the Holy Prison Gate came out by chance?"

"The second-class is the so-called good prostitute, who often picks up customers, claiming to sell his art but not his body, but just using literature and art to attract benefactors, as for the third and fourth class, it is ordinary. ”

"To have a painting boat, it seems that it is at least second-class. ”

After finishing the meal, it was getting late, Pei Ziyun left the store and walked along the river, the rain was not big, bit by bit, there were many painting boats flowing along the river, officials and scholars were used to it, and the government also opened and closed its eyes.

I saw that there were people lighting lanterns upstairs on the painting boat, and there were also lights flickering in the room, like stars printed in the river, and the sound of music came out.

Pei Ziyun saw that it was night, walked to a shore, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he jumped on a boat, and jumped again, and arrived at the painting boat.

The deck of this painting boat has a semi-circular arcade, and a moire black plaque on the arcade has two golden characters written "Painting", and the painting is the name of the painting boat.

Standing on the boat, you can see the surface of the river, the water is calm and gentle, the lantern lights are dim, swaying in the wind, the sound of silk and bamboo is heard, the courtesan sings softly with a clapper, the song is as thin as a hair, it seems to be nothing, and there are people outside.

"Sister Lan, serve the food quickly. ”

"Bah, immediately!" a middle-aged woman's voice responded attentively.

Pei Ziyun hid, first saw a floor, saw that there were several officials in this floor, the stove was warm with wine, took a look, and knew a few, all of them were county officials, and the inspection was inside, and it seemed to be the center.

Several officials have beautiful women in their arms, and some people said to the inspector: "You are lucky, it is said that this time the black wind thief, not only got a lot of benefits, but also promoted to a promotion, if you really become a county lieutenant, you will get a positive result, but don't forget us." ”

A beautiful prostitute was serving wine to the inspector, and the inspector was drinking, and smiled: "This is natural, but at the moment, we don't talk about business, and we can search for this Luhe painting boat with you, and it is not as happy as me to wait for this time." ”

When these people heard this, they all laughed and scolded: "Take advantage and come to sell well, what are you looking for this Luhe painting boat, we are just here to observe the people's feelings." ”

As he spoke, he said to the woman in his arms: "Little girl, what pain do you have, come with this official." ”

The woman in her arms smiled: "My lord, there is pain here in the little girl's dress, and please observe the people's feelings." ”

Immediately everyone laughed.

"I can't imagine that this person who patrols seems to be square, and it is so easy to be corrupt. Pei Ziyun didn't expect to encounter the inspection, and after a little contemplation, he understood.

This patrol has the merits of the black wind thief, it seems that he didn't eat alone, and he also sent some silver to his boss to operate, and now he must be able to be promoted to a higher level and become a county lieutenant.

If you talk about inspection, it used to be just a non-stream, and now when it comes to Jiupin, many people still think that this is not a serious official position, but this county lieutenant, for thousands of years, is an official of the imperial court.

The county lieutenant is under the county order, and the county chief secretary is the same as the county order adjutantant, in charge of public security and theft, the county is the deputy governor, assisting the county order administration, and the main book is the check officer, responsible for checking the documents and supervising the county government.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the judiciary and prisons, arresting thefts, trying cases, and adjudicating ordinary cases, so it can be said that he is the boss of the inspection, and he has indeed achieved positive results.

"But it's none of my business, even if it's his business to kill his head for corruption. Pei Ziyun continued to follow the boat, slowly dived over, and reached another floor.

Leaning close to the window and looking inside, I saw that the candles were lit inside, and a man was in it, looking intently, it was Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen was hugging the two women at the moment, his two hands were not idle, and he was in the dresses of the two women, and at this time there was flirting and scolding, from time to time there was a coquettish panting, and from time to time he was drinking wine and saying some gossip.

Pei Ziyun gradually understood that these two women, one was the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, the other was the Miss Qian family, and the Qian family was a big family in the county, they were both serious women, and they didn't know why they were messing with this Tang Zhen here at the moment.

The wind at night was a little cool, and the window was a little whirring, so I heard the woman inside with a coquettish voice saying: "This wind is blowing, it's really a little scary, Tang Lang closed the window." ”

As soon as Tang Zhen's hand moved, he listened to the woman in his arms panting, and said with a smile: "You have been in this holy gate for so long, and you have the Dao Law, how can you be afraid of the sound of the wind, so I don't believe it?"

At this time, a woman pushed Tang Zhen: "Tang Lang, stop playing, I don't know how the prince has prepared for you." ”

"What are you anxious about, I have personally invited you, and in a few days, it will be a show-talent gathering, and you can start at that time. I saw this Tang Zhen playing with a piece of snow white and refused to let go.

At this time, I heard the young lady say: "Sister-in-law, you don't know about this, I have already made a plan with Tang Lang, and Tang Lang will deceive him when the time comes." ”

"On the ship of Wenhui, there is already a nourishing incense, and this incense alone is not only harmless to people, but also nourishing the gods, and no one can find out. ”

"But as long as there is another medicine in the cup, and the wine is accompanied by incense, even the saint will not be able to bear it, and when we use the excuse of playing, as soon as we come near, he will not be able to bear it, and he will do something rude in public and humiliate me, and then his reputation will be ruined. ”

"Jiaoyu is also a pedantic person, he must not be able to bear it, and in front of everyone's eyes, he will not give up if he does not change this person's reputation. ”

"By then, we'll have done our job. ”

Hearing this, Tang Zhen was silent, his face was a little unhappy, and he saw Miss Qian's family who was talking just now, and pushed Tang Zhen with his hand and said, "What are you not happy about? Although you and I have made a marriage contract, I even brought my sister-in-law to have fun with you, and I practice the Holy Fa, so I don't care about this." ”

"And not to mention that in front of everyone's eyes, he can't take advantage, and even if he does, it doesn't hurt - our pseudonymous wives and concubines are really the same family, and they communicate with each other normally, otherwise, how can you have the good fortune you enjoy now?"

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun smiled coldly, it turned out that this was Tang Zhen's plan, so he killed Heifeng Village, but he didn't expect this Prison Holy Gate to react.

At that moment, he had a plan, and he was about to leave, and listened to what he said inside: "Not only this Pei Ziyun, but you see that the inspector is also the person named by Gongzi to deal with." ”

"It's too easy to deal with, just a few people helped him a little bit, and then he dragged him into the water, and he was also a martial artist who turned into a career, and he was weak in the county, so he hit the shot. ”

"On the one hand, he was drunk and rich, and on the other hand, he was allowed to do some illegal things, and when he was almost used, then our people came forward to report it, and the evidence was credible, and he was punished with a capital crime, and his head was cut off, and his house was raided, and even his women were filled into this painting boat, so that we could see the means of our holy gate. ”

"And the person who reported it can also get a clean reputation, although the people of our Holy Gate are suspicious of the dragon qi, no matter how much they plot, they can't be the seventh-rank officials, but they can also have more than one head snake. ”

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun looked secretly, and saw that Tang Zhen's face changed greatly, what he said was an inspection, but in fact it was a warning to Tang Zhen, it was really a double win, but Pei Ziyun had no sympathy.

"I think that back then, you were calm and childish, but now you have fallen to this point, but unfortunately this is your own death, no wonder others. ”

"And no matter what your troubles are, but framing me has already taken action, not only can I not save you, but I must also pay back. ”

"It's the same with this inspection, but I don't need to do it. ”

Thinking of this, seeing that the boat was far away from the riverbank, he didn't wait, and gently slipped off the boat, only to hear a slight "plop" sound of water, no one paid attention, only to see that the water just brought some waves, and gently spread.

In just a moment, a person jumped on the riverbank, and at this time it was late at night, so he was naturally not afraid of being seen, so he ran towards his house: "Fortunately, it is April and May, and the weather is not very cold, and it doesn't matter if you wear this wet suit for a while, but since the conspiracy is already known, you have to fight back immediately." ”

"Looks like I still have to go to the county once. ”
