After half a year, Hongyong Mansion changed the land, and Lu Zhen, the county commander of Yehua County, was promoted to the lord of Hongyong Mansion, these are all major events on the official side, and what does it have to do with ordinary businessmen and sellers, but who knows that this prefect is a vicious and scorpion-like corrupt official, a year later, Lu Lao saw a beautiful girl on the road, and his heart was full of lust, so he sent someone to inquire, how many people can there be in a Hongyong Mansion, and after a few inquiries, he learned the identity of the girl, the girl Liu Su, is a big deal to welcome the young lady, and the Governor of Lu was on it.
Repeatedly and repeatedly Kenaka to the restaurant without a word, let pay taxes and donate silver on the donation of silver, several times down Lu Zhifu made a difficulty, so obedient and honest can not find a reason for the difficulty, at that time there was a master in the inner hall from Yehua County was embarrassed, the master for Lu Zhifu came up with ideas, secretly bought the cook Rod's daughter-in-law Zhang, Rod's husband and wife filed a complaint to sue the owner of the shopkeeper who was as graceful as a mountain to the lobby, Lv Governor's Mansion was detained for the crime of exile in Yongzhou, Liu Dongjia was not convinced, and was beaten to death in prison, a should be confiscated from all the family property, the daughter Liu Su was sold by the official, and the cook Rod's first complaint was meritorious, and the welcome guest to the restaurant was rewarded to Rodγ
At that time, the people of Hongyong Mansion did not know that this matter was the trick of the old man Yin of the Mansion and there was no news after half a month, Rhodes changed from a cook to a shopkeeper, three years, Rhodes's daughter-in-law Zhang had an affair with adultery, assassinated Rhodes, Rhodes was imprisoned and died of illness in prison, this widow became the shopkeeper who welcomed guests, a woman with a heart like a femme fatale, how could she run a restaurant, in recent years, the restaurant has plummeted, only one of the three doors is left, Widow Zhang only knows all day long and has a smile with the living concubine, if it were not for today's prison guard Xu Ning ordered three tables of banquets, Widow Zhang would have closed the door and entangled with the concubineγ
Widow Zhang, whose face was full of vulgar powder, held a plate of vegetarian fried snow and shook it towards the prison officer Xu Ning, who was drinking, although this widow was over thirty years old, but her body was turbulent in front of her chest, and her waist was also extremely plump, and she walked in the wind and swayed lotus leaves and rain runs, and her body was plump and ripe, and her body was indescribably prodigal, and many old jailers saw that the prodigal widow's eyes were straight, and her arms carrying wine were hanging in the air, and she was stunned, Widow Zhang couldn't look down on the old man who was old and poor, and only the old man Xu Ning in her eyes was wearing a soapy robe, and when she thought of Xu Ning's strong body, the widow's heart couldn't help but rippleγ
"Yo, Master Xu doesn't come to our small shop on weekdays, this official doesn't hurt people at all. Widow Zhang put the food in her hand in front of Xu Ning, put her white elbow on Xu Ning's shoulder, leaned over slightly and gently rubbed Xu Ning's back with the ripe melon and fruit on her chest, and said in a complaining voice.
Xu Ning shrugged his shoulders slightly while feeling the pressure on his back, rubbed the pair of ripe peaches that surged out with his back, and his fingertips gently slid over Widow Zhang's arm, and said evilly: "Then I don't have to complain that this big shopkeeper doesn't have the heart to take care of me, a dirty man." β
Although she was wearing a heavy winter coat, Widow Zhang could still feel the friction on her chest, and when she heard that Xu Ning deliberately accentuated her tone in big characters, she lowered her head and leaned down on Xu Ning's neck, exhaling like Lan Jiao and said, "Is the unconscionable enemy still willing to drink this half cup of residual wine?"
When the jailer at the table heard the widow's words, he couldn't help but curse himself, damn it, when will he be promoted and rich, and let some swingers throw themselves into their arms?
The warden Xu Ning stretched out his hand and gently slid over the side of Widow Zhang's legs, and laughed quietly: "Lao Tzu can't drink anything else, and it is known as a must, don't say half a cup of residual wine, ten cups and eight cups of Lao Tzu can also drink, and when Lao Tzu finishes his business first, he will come to do you, not only will he drink tonight, but he will also feed you a slut to eat a steel gun." β
Widow Zhang's heart was unbearable, she lowered her voice, and exhaled: "Then the slave family will wait for a while to practice a jade tongue roll golden gun." β
Widow Zhang left the main hall with a happy face, a table of jailers with envy on her face, and her henchmen close to Xu Ning couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "An adult is an adult." β
Xu Ning laughed when he heard this: "It's all fucking and work hard with Lao Tzu, and you will be indispensable in the future." β
The messenger on the side naturally understood what was going on, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, sir." β
Xu Ning looked at the sky, waved his big hand and said, "Okay, it's almost over, go back to prison." β
On the third watch, a group of drunken jailers shook their bodies to welcome guests, and when the group of jailers returned to the Hongyong Mansion prison, the important northern prisoners had already hung on the beam and lost their breath, and most of the people in the group had woken up drunk, and their faces were heavy.
A young jailer said in a trembling voice: "My lord, how can it be good if Master Fu Yin wants to blame him." β
"How? If the fuck lets the master know that we went out for a drink and let him take advantage of the loophole, we won't be able to escape. Xu Ning looked at the dead corpse in the prison and sighed in his heart that the figure of this dead ghost is almost exactly the same, even the wounds on his head are the same, they are all wrapped in medicine cloth and unkempt, if he doesn't rummage carefully, he really can't find a flaw, while admiring the clean and neat wrist of the master, he pretended to be in a gloomy voice, and said with a slight groan: "Take the corpse down and send it to the outside of the city overnight to burn, I will explain to the master, otherwise none of us will be able to escape." β
The three or four messengers nodded and took off the corpse, and an elderly jailer looked up and said, "My lord, this prisoner doesn't seem right." β
"Isn't that right?" a group of poor people whispered.
Xu Ning's heart froze, and he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and scolded angrily: "No, just put you on the ceiling, the corpse is hard and can it be the same as when you were alive? Don't talk nonsense, go quickly." β
The old jailer didn't dare to speak, hurriedly put the body on the bamboo mat, and carried it out of the cell, and in the night, a group of jailers carried a bamboo mat out of the east gate of Hongyong Mansion.
-
Xu Ning handed over the form written by the prefect Lu Zhen to a jailer who was quick with his hands and feet, and told a few words again and again, watching the young jailer ride his horse and gallop out of the south gate, the boulder in his heart finally fell and breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the sky and hummed a little song and walked in the direction of Dongjie with a happy face, and muttered in a low voice: "This is the fucking thing called wealth and beauty." β

The west gate of Hongyong Mansion, the night watchman is extremely busy tonight, after closing the city gate on weekdays, ordinary people can not get out but tonight is extremely busy, first the second watch Tianfu Yin Lord ordered to open the city gate, and finally survived to the third watch can take advantage of the silence of Wan Lai to secretly sleep, a line of government jailers carried a bamboo curtain with a letter from the lord knocked on the city gate and said that there was an emergency, seeing that the white cloth bamboo curtain soldiers thought clearly, these minions did not know what dirty things they did, this group of soldiers just came out of the city, the master Ji of the government came again, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he also opened the door according to the instructions and waited, since the previous master died of illness, there was this Master Ji, is benevolent and willing to seek some well-being for ordinary soldiers on weekdays, compared to the jackal-like prefect Master Ji, who is deeply loved by the military and the people.
Under the tree not far out of the city, the jailer just gathered a pile of firewood to burn the dead body, the county government Master Ji arrived, looked at the state of the corpse, and ordered everyone to bury the dead body on the spot.
-
Hongyong Mansion Prison.
The jailer who was left to guard the prison saw the group carrying the bamboo curtain into the gate, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It burned so quickly?"
The old jailer at the head said helplessly: "How can it be so fast, Master Ji said that the master will not let it be burned, and ordered us to bury it, so we don't need to tell the adults about this?"
The jailer guarding the prison said with a lewd smile on his face: "Where do you tell me? Our adults are playing with the breasts of the girls now, forget it, anyway, if we deal with it, it will be a bad deal." β

In the middle of the night, three fast horses left Hongyong Mansion City, and the master Ji Ziming headed by him was full of indignation and went straight to the direction of Xiongzhou.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Ji Ziming, the master of Hongyong Mansion who had galloped all night, rushed to the gate of Xiongzhou City, and shouted:
"Yin Luzhen of Hongyong Mansion is treasonous, and he quickly reported to the county guarding the yamen. β
