When the list was played, Aunt Su's grandmother caught her son-in-law for others under the list, and she also saw Su's son-in-law, a Jinshi son-in-law in one hand.

Su Shi glanced at Aunt Su embarrassedly and said: "He was a jinshi, because he had no money to pull the relationship, he had to get an idle job as a Hanlin editor when he was on a mission." That position is in charge of compiling the local chronicles, archaeological research, that is the place where people live? Because he didn't want to stay there, he wanted to get a good position for himself. But now in the officialdom, it is difficult to move an inch without money, I have no money on me, and he is a poor boy, so it will be too late to delay and delay. A few days ago, he didn't know where he got a sum of silver, so he got in touch with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and made a real shortage in the Criminal Department, who knew that he was arrested by Ying Tianfu, saying that he was suspected of entering the house with a question in the spring last year, suspected of plagiarism, and now he is going to change his Jinshi name, how can this be good? ”

Aunt Su nodded while listening, and when Su finished speaking, she said, "This plagiarism has involved many people. I heard that the emperor was unwell in the spring of last year, and the exam questions were asked to be sealed by those examiners. Who knew that an examiner leaked out, and now the protégés he worshipped, □□ out of ten, have all been arrested. ”

Su Shi became even more anxious when he heard this: "So his Jinshi is really going to be dismissed?" ”

Aunt Su said: "Don't worry, whenever you arrive at Yingtianfu, you always have to try the case." The Wang Fu Yin I know there, I'm afraid I can really help you a lot. ”

Su Shi was very happy when he heard this, but he was afraid that Aunt Su's words were not accurate enough, so he didn't dare to take the money out or promise anything, but asked: "Can you call Yin Tongrong of Nafu, I'll go to the prison to see him first?" ”

Aunt Su said, "What's so difficult about this? I'll run one more time today, I'm afraid I'll be able to take you in tomorrow morning. ”

He didn't even drink his saliva, got up and took a small basket and was about to leave. Su Shi hurriedly took a few steps forward, took out a string of copper coins, threw them into her basket, and said, "These money aunts and grandmothers take and sell tea to eat." ”

Aunt Su still threw the string of copper coins into Huai Su's arms and said: "I ran these things, and I didn't give you a few copper plates, why do you do this?" Wait for my news. ”

So he went downstairs.

Su waited restlessly at home for a long time, afraid that this Aunt Su and Grandma would be talking to herself again, and finally waited for the afternoon Aunt Su sent someone to bring a message, saying that she would be able to take her to Yingtianfu to see Zhang Rui early in the morning. Su Shi was full of joy when he heard this, so he hurriedly took some copper plates and broken silver, went out to buy some clean clothes and bedding for Zhang Rui and ate them, and wanted to take them to the cell to see him.

Zhenshu went upstairs at night and heard Zhenyi say this, and said with a little amusement: "He is going to prison, not visiting relatives, he has his own dry bed and dry firewood for him, you take these, and people will throw them out for you." ”

Seeing the two roast chickens on the table again, he broke one leg and came down to gnaw on it: "Such a good thing, it should be relieved for the apprentices downstairs, what to feed the white-eyed wolf?" ”

Su slapped her thigh angrily, but now she and Zhenyi are both relying on Zhenshu to eat, dare to be angry but dare not speak, and hurriedly hide the other one in their own room.

Early the next morning, Su Shi changed into a new set of spring shirts and put them on, smeared his hair with a tung oil comb neatly, picked up a few fried bright golden hairpins, and then got up and hired a car downstairs to wait. After a while, Aunt Su's two thin legs and two thin feet came with a wind under her feet, still carrying the small basket, got into the car and instructed the coachman: "Go to Yingtianfu." ”

The horses and chariots moved, and Ying Tianfu was not far from here, and it would soon arrive. Aunt Su took Su Shi out of the car, and saw that the official on the gate where the two lions were lying was standing with a gun, helped Su Shi, who was already scared and trembling, and whispered in her ear: "What is this worth?" They're just errand boys, come with me. ”

Su Shi saw that the two soldiers on the gate looked solemn, and they held the □□ in their hands, and the government in the house was also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and his legs were weak in fright, and he asked Aunt Su to drag forward. When they arrived at the gate, Aunt Su also learned to arch her hand and said, "Qi Dalang, I came to find your Wang Fu Yin, is he inside?" ”

It is said that Aunt Su is a city patrol royal history, which shows that she has a wide range of contacts, and this Qi Dalang's daughter-in-law is still a matchmaker for Aunt Su's grandmother. He was standing guard at this time and it was inconvenient to chat, but he also nodded and said, "Inside, Aunt Su, please come in, and go directly to his room to patrol him." ”

Aunt Su thanked her, saw that they were □□, and pulled Su into the compound.

Because the former Mansion Yin was involved in the case of Beishun Marquis and was dismissed, now this palace Yin is in his thirties and is in charge of Ying Tianfu alone. His public house was on the second floor of the last one in the palace. Next door is the place where Du Yu was locked up back then. Aunt Su went all the way in to the palace Yin Gongfang and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a cardigan came out of it. ”

Aunt Su squeezed Su Shi's eyes, and then shook the middle-aged man's hand and said, "The old man is very good, I haven't seen Mr. Wei for a long time, and now he is still on an errand under Wang Fu Yin?" ”

The man nodded yes, and hurriedly opened the door to let Su and Aunt Su in. Su Shi was still carrying a food box in his hand, thinking that he was afraid that his food box would be indecent when he saw the senior official, so he walked slowly inside with his back behind him.

There is a big case in this room, and a big plaque behind the case, on which the four big characters of 'Mirror Hanging' are just right. There is a person sitting under the plaque, with a square forehead, thick eyebrows and a straight nose, and two thick mustaches on his lips. He didn't get up when he saw Aunt Su enter the door, so he stretched out his hand and asked, "Sit." ”

Aunt Su sat down on the two circle chairs opposite Su with Su Shi, and pointed at Su Shi with a smile: "Wang Fu Yin, this is the mother of the family that the old body told you, and now because something happened to Gan'er and she is involved in this prison, I want to ask for a meeting." ”

In fact, if someone commits an accident and goes to prison, it is not difficult for the family to want to meet with each other. When Tianfu has a special rule to meet his family, he can send a change of clothes and some food and money to him, so that they can take care of them inside. But moving Fu Yin to see a prisoner is a little different from reporting in to see him. That Wang Fu Yin casually drew something on the paper, tore it and handed it to Aunt Su and said, "Today is not a serious day, but since you are here, you can see it." ”

Aunt Su got up a few steps to the big case, took the note with both hands and bowed down and thanked, "Thank you so much, Lord Yin." ”

After speaking, he turned around and sat down on the circle chair, looking at the palace Yin and laughing. Wang Fu Yin frowned and thought for a long time, before remembering that Su's mother had stopped the sedan chair on the street several times, all of which were women who wanted to introduce herself to a good family. He turned his head to look at the Su family, and saw that this woman was about forty years old, although she was old, she was quite beautiful, if it was her daughter, she would not be able to go there. Then he pointed at Su Shi and opened his mouth to ask Aunt Su's grandmother: "Mom said it, but this lady's daughter?" ”

Aunt Su nodded anxiously and said, "Exactly." She is my niece, and although she looks ordinary, the four daughters she can give birth to are all like flowers. What the old body wants to tell the adults is the daughter of the second line of this family, and she looks no better, but because my nephew has a bigger heart and has been picking for two years, and now her daughter is older, so she missed the good time. ”

Wang Fu Yin looked Su up and down, he is also thirty-eight years old this year, this Su is about a few years older than himself, and he still looks charming. If her daughter wants to be better than her youth, and she looks better than this. Thinking of this, he was already overwhelmed, cleared his throat and asked Aunt Su, "How old are those two girls this year?" ”

Aunt Su didn't know how old Zhenshu was this year, so she hurriedly turned around and asked Su. Only then did Su Shi swallow and say, "There will be twenty this year." ”

Wang Fuyin nodded. Around twenty, it was the grade where the girls had grown up and still had some girlish meaning, and his heart became more and more itchy, staring at Su Shi for a while, thinking that he wanted to see the shadow of the beautiful girl from Su Shi. Su Shi was anxious to see Zhang Rui in his heart, and when he saw this adult's eyes staring at him up and down, he was very uncomfortable, and he pulled Aunt Su and Grandma to leave.

Aunt Su also looked at Wang Fuyin's appearance a little weird, and said in her heart that he didn't want to look at the girl again, it was not good to look at the mother-in-law. Then he also got up and bent down and said, "Don't go over the old body, go and see my godgrandson, okay?" ”

Wang Fu Yin got up at this time and personally sent Su and Aunt Su out of the house. When he went out, he summoned Mr. Wei over and instructed in his ear: "You take it with you personally, see the prisoner, and rearrange a better number for him to live." ”

Mr. Wei nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly came over to invite Su Shi and said, "Madam, please here." ”

The yamen is also a place to watch people put down dishes, if you hold a small burden and shiver and go in alone, those officials will stare at you and scold, so scared that you don't dare to stand and stop. But if there is a white strip from Lord Fu Yin, and the scholars beside him follow all the way, these Ya Yin will bow down and say goodbye when they see it from afar, and raise the spear □□ high and call you Tongguò.

Su was angry in front of his brother and sister-in-law since he was a child, and when he grew up, he followed Song Anrong and lived in a poor country for more than ten years. Although he is now in Beijing, he still lives in the East Market, and he still lives among the smallest ninth-rate people. A soldier in an official uniform could scare her half to death, and she enjoyed the treatment she had today.

She saw that Mr. Wei was stretching out his hand to lead the way, and the soldiers standing guard all the way were bending down to salute, and she and Aunt Su were walking in the middle, which was really a kind of majestic and proud. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It is often said that the cold window has been hard for ten years, and once it was the imperial examination. This official is different from ordinary people, he is respected outside, and he is also majestic in the official office.

Su thought that the prison should be a basement, but who knew that it was a tall and big Hessian tall house that rose out of thin air. It was heavily guarded, surrounded by small but tall watchtowers guarded by soldiers with spears and spears. She was furious and scared in her heart, and followed into the Hesse Building, walked inside for a long time and then wore out, it was another big house like this, and after entering, the stairs went underground, this is Guan Zhangrui's place.

When I went downstairs, it was really a basement, and there were a few oil lamps burning in the dim light. Mr. Wei whispered a few words to the guard inside, and handed over the note from Fu Yin, and the guard took Su and Aunt Su with a bunch of keys and walked inside. It was damp and smelly, and Su couldn't open his eyes because of the stench, and finally struggled to a fence, and saw the guard open the lock and signaled, "Go in." ”

This is a very small single room, and out of respect for them as scholars, they are not locked up with the prisoners next to them until the case is finally convicted. Zhang Ruiben was lying on the bed, and when he saw that Su Shi came in, he threw himself down and hugged Su Shi's leg and cried. Su Shi saw that it was only a few months, Zhang Rui's face was dirty and rotten, and the stench on his body was indestructible, so he pushed it open and opened the food box and said, "My son, eat something quickly." ”

Zhang Rui didn't smell the meat for a long time, and hugged the chicken and gnawed it. gnawed and gnawed and rubbed against Su Shi and said, "My mother still loves me." ”

Su Shi couldn't help but have a sour nose when he called him, and asked, "How could you get infected with such a thing?" ”

Zhang Rui took a bite of the chicken and said vaguely: "It was the good thing that Yu Yichen did, he wanted to frame my master Wang Shenzhi, so he set him a private leak exam question." Except for Tong Qisheng, all of our teachers were arrested. ”

Su Shi heard him talk about Tong Qisheng, and because he was worried about Zhenxiu, he hurriedly asked, "How did Tong Qisheng slip away?" ”

Of course, Zhang Rui also knew that Tong Qisheng was more talented than him, although he took the exam questions, he did not answer the questionnaire according to the routine given by Wang Shenzhi, and he was a jinshi who took the test with real skills, so he could slip away. But he was jealous and angry in his heart at this time, so he hated and said: "What he has in his hand is a large sum of silver, and he will naturally be able to slip away if he dredges up the relationship." ”

Zhang Rui came to pester Zhenyuan after he and Nie Shiqiu had a family affair earlier, precisely because Tong Qisheng and Zhenxiu often had a large amount of silver in their hands after they got along, and Zhenshu took care of a framing shop prosperously, he looked at the business from the outside, thinking that there was money inside, so he was bent on making a small fufu to please Su and Zhenyuan.

Who knew that when he got into his hands and began to coax the money, he knew that it was Zhenshu who was in charge of the money, and the Su family only had some pocket money in his hands. But fortunately, Su Shi was soft-hearted and coaxed, so he kept half-hanging Su Shi to get some pocket money, and secretly hated Zhenshu for not giving a lot of money. Later, Zhenyuan became pregnant, and he also got some silver from Zhenshu before the spring, but it was still a small amount of money.

Because of these hatreds, Zhang Rui simply didn't even care about Zhenyuan, and hid outside all day long, only every time he lacked pocket money, he would find Su Shi to cry and coax. Today, he saw that the Su family was able to come with the scholar next to Tianfu Yin, and he thought that maybe the Su family had some routines, so he begged again: "Mother knows that her son has been wronged, and she also asks her mother to dredge the door to show her affection for her son after she goes up, and put this grievance aside." ”

He suddenly remembered the rumors in Beijing, and hurriedly added: "Ask the second sister to ask for that Yu Yichen, he is now the top boss of this Ying Tianfu, and he only asks him, and his son will be able to get out of this place tomorrow." ”

Su Shi bit his lip and said embarrassedly: "Your second sister has no connection with that eunuch, and she shouldn't beg her if I beg her." ”

Zhang Rui angrily slapped his thigh, shook Su Shi again, and said, "Mother must think of a way for her son." A few days ago, I was ridiculous in the heart of Jinshi for a few days, but now it is all right, as long as I wait for my son to get out of this prison, I will immediately go to Liujiazhuang to pick up Zhenyuan and the child, and rent a room to live with my mother, so that I can support my mother for the elderly. ”

Su Shi remembered the embarrassment that Song Anrong was about to die when he was about to die, because he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the ancestral grave without a child, and he also thought that it would be difficult for him to use his family property in the third room when he was old, or if he didn't give her linen and filial piety, and make her a lonely ghost. Since Zhang Rui agreed like this, his heart moved, and he nodded: "Mother go up and think of a way for you." ”

Zhang Rui nodded in agreement, and then ate the chicken again.

Su Shi was disgusted by the smell and hurried out of the prison, so he heard Mr. Wei summon the prison guard over and order: "Change him to a better prison, it is better to go to the first floor." ”

The ground floor is on the ground, and there is no moisture or stench.

The warden nodded in agreement, and went to coordinate the matter.

Mr. Wei kept sending Su and Aunt Su out of the gate, and when Su got into the carriage, he said to Aunt Su again: "Lord Fu Yin, please go again." ”

Aunt Su lifted the curtain and whispered to Su Shinu: "I'm afraid this thing is going to happen, since Lord Fu Yin has taken a fancy to the second girl, you can also release it, why are you anxious?" ”
