Chapter 3: Going to Prison
Yu Chong and the others walked all the way towards the weeping slope, with a clear purpose in mind, but they did not dare to delay, and when they crossed the city gate, they followed the flow of people through, and there was no mistake.
More than half an hour passed, and finally arrived at the weeping poplar slope, which is said to be the weeping poplar slope, that is, the surface uplift, and the weeping willows are planted.
The two continued to walk inside, and indeed saw a small post station, which was specially set up for communication between Shangyuan Kingdom and Nandui City, the personnel were somewhat complicated, and there were personnel from both countries, and later the personnel came and went intensively, and inns and small restaurants were established.
The two of them entered the small restaurant and sat down, and immediately Xiao Er came over with a shouting voice, "Two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”
"You can stay in this small restaurant." Ah Fu asked.
"It's all a shopkeeper, what are you going to eat today?" Xiao Er asked.
Xiao Er asked, and suddenly felt empty in his stomach, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles, a plate of beef, and a hot pot of wine." Yu Chong said slowly.
"Brother Chong, that person ......"
Yu Chong waved his hand and interrupted Ah Fu's question, "Fill your stomach first, let's see, don't worry." ”
The two swept away the food and wine on the table like a storm.
Yu Chong burped, beckoned Xiao Er to come, took the broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er, and asked, "Ask you about someone, where Ah Can is, I'll look for him." ”
The little second-hand twisted the silver and said, "Raise a horse Ah Can, go out of the small restaurant and walk to the back of the inn, there is a stable, Ah Can is there to serve his few BMWs on weekdays, why are the two of you also coming to see the horses?" ”
"According to my friend, his horse is okay." Yu Chong said casually.
"You've found the right man, go quickly, maybe he's still in the stable, and he's going to walk the horse again."
"Thank you, little second brother." After Yu Chong and the others came out of the restaurant, they hurriedly went to the stable behind the inn, and sure enough, they saw a strong black man pulling three treasure horses and was about to go out.
Yu Chong walked forward with an arrow and shouted, "But Ah Can? ”
The strong black man tightened the horse and looked at the two suspiciously, "Officially, the two are ......."
Yu Chong pointed to his arms and said, "Can you take a step to speak?"
Ah Can dodged and let the two into a small wooden hut next to the stable, and when the three of them sat down, Yu Chong told Ah Can everything he had seen yesterday.
"What! I will send someone to take Brother Sun away for treatment, and thank the two young heroes for their help. ”
"It's just that the road is uneven, Brother Can, then we have completed Brother Sun's entrustment, the letter is here, you can take it." Yu Chong said and took out the secret letter from his arms, handed it to Ah Can with both hands, as if handing out a firecracker that would explode at any time, and the stone in his heart fell.
"Then I'll invite the two young heroes to have dinner another day, I'll do the work first, and the two of you can do it yourself."
Yu Chong and Ah Fu came out of the weeping poplar slope, and they were not in a hurry to leave, Ah Fu took the lead in asking, "Brother Chong, where are we going, and do you want to buy our spices?" ”
"Of course, or we'll come out for nothing."
The two began to walk back again, stopping and stopping for almost an hour before they came to the gate of Shangyuan, only to see the crowd in front of the city gate, the gate was closed, and the defenders on the city wall shouted loudly, "Today, there are Penghua people stealing our country's secrets, no one is allowed to enter and leave the city at will, but all the behaviors of staying in and out of the city today, trade, business trips, etc., must be screened one by one, and only after the pass can be distributed, and today they will scatter in all directions, and the city is also investigating at this time, don't come to add chaos again." ”
Yu Chong pulled Ah Fu aside, walked into the distance for a while, and said in a bit of a panic: "What's going on, does it have anything to do with sending a letter, then Sun Lu won't be caught if he lives in our guest room, so take the two of us out by the way."
"Brother Chong, calm down and think slowly, is there anything wrong with the letter?" Ah Fu asked.
"I didn't peek at the content either, who knows what kind of ghost is written."
"I hope that Ah Can can take Sun Lu out one step ahead, if the stolen goods are obtained, then the two of us will become the unpopular enemies of Shangyuan."
"Alas, helping others do good things affects their own affairs." Ah Fu complained.
"It's okay, it's a big deal not to come to his Shangyuan Kingdom, let's go back to Southern Twilight City first."
The two of them didn't care about eating, and walked all the way east to the southern twilight city.
At three o'clock in the unitary hour, the two of them didn't want to move forward anymore, so they came to a small inn twenty miles away from the southern twilight city to stay.
Yu Chong asked for some food and drink, brought it to the house, and the two of them quickly ate it, "I just hope that helping Sun Lu deliver the letter this time will not be harmless to my Nanducheng City, otherwise I will be responsible for this great crime of treason." ”
"Brother Chong, don't think about it, the city gate guards didn't explain anything today, besides, this Brother Sun Lu didn't start from Penghua Kingdom and go all the way south to send a letter to my Nandui City, what is the matter with him going to the garden?" Ah Fu said.
"I'm afraid that this letter will involve some things in Shangyuan Kingdom, so the city gate is closed. Ahem, I don't want to, let's talk about it tomorrow, anyway, don't affect my Da Nandui. ”
After a day's journey, the two of them were tired enough, and when they slept peacefully, Ah Fu nudged Yu Chong and said, "Brother Chong, let's go back to Nandui City after breakfast." ”
Yu Chong rubbed his eyes and said, "When is it, let me sleep more." ”
"The sun is shining on the buttocks, let's go."
Yu Chong was dragged by Ah Fu to get up, hastily wiped his face, rinsed his mouth, and went out to eat with Ah Fu.
asked for side dishes and dry food, and before he finished eating, four officials dressed as Nanducheng came, opened the portrait in his hand, and looked around at the diners, one of them walked up to Yu Chong with the portrait, and said fiercely: "It's you, take it away!" ”
"My lord, what crime have I committed to arrest me?" Yu Chong asked puzzled.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll know when you get to the yamen."
Ah Fu said anxiously: "My lord, my lord, I must have caught the wrong person, we are both serious businessmen." ”
"Get out of here, add to the chaos, and take you away!" The official officer said angrily.
"Ah Fu, don't panic, go to Brother Xu to save me, go quickly." Yu Chong calmed down and said to Ah Fu.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, the king of heaven can't save you." After that, he put on the shackles for Yu Chong and dragged him into the carriage outside, Ah Fu saw that the carriage was gradually moving away, so he hurriedly asked for a fast horse from the inn, flew on the horse, ran in the direction of the dock, and reported to Brother Xu as fast as possible.
Yu Chong was stared at by the officials in the carriage, and he wondered very much, could it be because of the letter, did the government also know about the existence of this letter, I didn't see anything, what was the content, so that the officials in Nanducheng sent people to arrest me, and I didn't know if I was asked for a while.
The more Yu Chong thought about it, the more confused he became, he really shouldn't help out of kindness, under the management of Chi Ling, the lord of the old city, all industries are in good order, and they perform their duties, especially this yamen, the transparency can be described as very high, all the market officials, homicide cases, and various important cases are announced to the public after the trial and disposal, whose relative's brother-in-law has committed any crime, the official document will be written clearly and clearly, and the offender is afraid that there will be a prisoner in the family and affect the reputation of the entire family, Outsiders also know clearly that they don't have a good family background, and they can't make deep friends, and making friends and getting married are detours.
Within half an hour, Yu Chong was brought into the government office, and he did not rush to the trial, but first put Chong in prison.
The prison was indeed full of smoke and miasma, so choked that Yu Chong almost didn't take a breath, this cell was in the deepest part of the prison, it was a solitary room, and there were two guards outside the door, which was very tight.
Although Yu Chong said that he was not a good man and a woman, he also asked himself what he had done to be worthy of his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the yamen gourd.
While he was wondering, the official opened the door from the outside, and two adults came in, and then two chairs were brought by the officials for the adults to sit down.
"Prisoner Yu Chong, you are guilty!" The adults sitting on the side gave priority to the trouble.
"Yu Chong, a grass man, is a serious businessman, not a criminal, please check it out." Yu Chong responded.
"You, you're playing right and wrong in front of Lord Yao."
"Alas, Lord Liu, don't be angry, Yu Chong, I am Yao Guangjing, the secretary of the government, this is Liu Zhan, the government office, I will escort you here today, there must be empirical evidence, you should come with all the way."
"The grass people really don't know which of my regulations in Southern Twilight City has been violated?"
"Okay, let me remind you, did you stay overnight at the Shangyuan Baocheng Inn the night before yesterday?" Yao Guangjing said slowly.
"Your Excellency is right, I did stay at the Baocheng Inn for one night." Yu Chong replied loudly.
"Have you seen anyone, what have you gotten?" Yao Guangjing continued.
"Quickly answer Lord Yao's question!" Liu Zhan said angrily.
Yao Guangjing glanced at Liu Zhan and asked him to listen to Yu Chong patiently.
Yu Chong pursed his lips and said, "My lord is right, that day and night, a person named Sun Lu did come and knocked on the door. Yu Chong thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, so it would be better to make it clear to the government as soon as possible.
He continued: "As soon as I opened the door, I saw that he was covered in blood and seriously injured, and I felt compassion just to save his life. ”
"But what did you give you?" Yao Guangjing asked.
"Yes, my lord, Sun Lu handed me a letter, he claimed to be from the dart bureau, and asked me to bring the letter to Ah Can in Weeping Willow Slope, and then Ah Can will continue to help Sun Lu deliver the letter, and there will be nothing for me to do in the future."
"Really?" Liu Zhan asked.
"It's true!" Yu Chong replied affirmatively.
"What is written in the epistle?" Yao Guangjing asked.
"Adult Mingjian, the little one really didn't check the content of the letter privately, the credit was sealed, and the villain really didn't plan to read the letter." Yu Chong explained.
"Come on," Liu Zhan said, "go to the weeping willow slope and bring Ah Chan to me!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
"I'll know if what you said is true or false when I bring Ah Chan here." Liu Zhan squinted at Yu Chong and said coldly.
