Chapter 2: The First Snow (Part 2)

"Lie again, lie again! I'll kick you to death, I'll kick you to death! Wang Xun raised his foot and kicked at the cage railing. "You just wait to rot here, if you don't tell the truth, no one will want to fish you out!"

After scolding, he quickly lowered his head again, and quickly asked in an inaudible voice, "How did you get involved with him?!" You were arrested by the government, why didn't they come forward to catch you? ”

"Second brother, second brother, help, help!" Yu Wenzhi wailed very cooperatively, as if he had really been beaten badly, "I am really wronged, I am really wronged!" After shouting, he quickly responded: "My brother is on an errand under the owner behind that man, can I not listen to that man's call?" It happened suddenly, and I guess the owner hasn't reacted yet! ”

Wang Xun listened, and his heart twitched again. Yuwen sold himself to seek refuge just to seek a better future for his half-brother who was an official, so as to revive the Yuwen family. Unbeknownst to him, less than an hour after he was captured by the servants, his brother Yu Wende had swallowed all the family property and took the opportunity to expel him from the house. But these news, at the moment, he can't tell Yu Wenzhi no matter what. lest the other party be discouraged after hearing this, and really die in the prison of Wannian County. After a little groaning, Wang Xun squatted down again, put his hand through the gap in the wooden fence, grabbed Yu Wenzhi's collar, and shouted: "Okay, good, good, you have a hard mouth, aren't you?" Doesn't it continue to be hard-mouthed? Anyway, you yourself are dead, why don't I kill you first!? ”

After saying that, he quickly raised his hand and stuffed a few small silver ingots into Yu Wenzhi's chest, "Hide it, it may make you suffer less at the critical moment." Don't give it out all at once, remember to be a trickle! ”

"Second, second brother. Ahh.......h He immediately lowered his voice and quickly responded, "I have a ledger hidden under the fourth chicken coop from the left in the backyard of the cockfighting ring. The second brother helped put it away, maybe it can come in handy! ”

"You're not stupid yet!" Wang Xun scolded in a very low voice. Nodding his head and agreeing to Yu Wenzhi's request, he asked him if he had any other instructions.

Yu Wenzhi took the opportunity to ask Wang Xun to go to his house to have a look, so that his brother and sister-in-law should not be too anxious, and try not to get involved. also asked Wang Xun to bring a message to his two roommates, and asked them to keep an eye on the current accounts to prevent the people below from taking advantage of the trouble. Wang Xun became more and more sad when he heard this, and he agreed one by one with a strong mental beating.

A quarter of an hour had passed in a flash, and before Yuwen could finish entrusting the matter to him, Sun Zhutou's disgusting voice had already sounded in the dark corridor, "Cousin, the time has come." Come out of here. Don't bother everyone! ”

"Got it!" Wang Xun quickly agreed, reached out and pressed Yu Wenzhi's shoulder, "Stay here honestly, you stupid pig." See how long you can be stubborn! ”

"I didn't do it, I was wronged!" Yuwen Zhi cried with his neck in his head, half pretending, and the other half from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone ignored him and walked out of the prison after Sun Zhutou. Turning to a secluded place, Wang Xun took out his personal purse, poured out the few small ingots and all the copper coins that were usually used for emergency purposes, and stuffed them into Sun Zhutou's sleeve, "Today's matter is bothering my cousin." My friend is an iron buddy who has played with me since I was a child, and I also asked my cousin to talk to the brothers in the yamen, so that he will suffer less in the past few days. At present, although their Yuwen family has fallen, it is a tree with deep roots. As long as you can keep him safe, the Yuwen family will inevitably make up another generous gift in the future! ”

"Well said, well said! I'll say hello to the cell boss in a moment and ask him to change your friend's private room!" Sun Renyu smiled and nodded. The heart is still the head catcher in the capital, and there is only one case, which is the input of dozens of taels of silver. If there are a few more cases like this, Lao Tzu will be able to buy Zhuangzi in the suburbs in a year.

"If you insist on torture, please raise your noble hands with the brothers in charge of the punishment. If the money for the decoction to treat his injuries is not enough, I can make up for it at any time! Lei Wanchun came up from behind and added lightly.

This man is a connoisseur! Sun Renyu turned back vigilantly. There is a difference in the severity of the boards in the yamen, the same forty boards, can beat people to death, can make people cripple for life, but can also make people get up without support after the fight, and walk back to the cell by themselves. Wang Xun didn't know about this, so he could only ask Sun Renyu to take care of Yuwen in general. Lei Wanchun poked at the point with one sentence, so that people should not be fooled casually.

Seeing that Sun Renyu's face was wrong, Lei Wanchun smiled and continued: "Brother Sun is an understanding person, I won't beat around the bush if I have some words. I just ask my brother to inform all the friends in the yamen, don't be tempted by others to do any short-sighted deeds. Otherwise, even if the Yuwen family doesn't come out, my old Lei will not let go of the person who started it! ”

With that, he lifted his foot and slammed it on the ground. When it landed, the paving bluestone was torn apart.

Sun Renyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to pack the ticket anymore. He waved his hands at Lei Wanchun, and said in a very low voice: "This old brother, with the face of the little marquis, it is convenient to do it, we will definitely do it to your friend in prison little by little." However, you don't know that this case was pressed down from above, and we may not be able to cover your friend for a few days here. He's fine, he has no title on his body, and he will be tried by our Wannian County. Several others still have hereditary titles on their heads, and yesterday afternoon, as soon as they arrived at the case, they were brought to the Dali Temple. It is said that the trial was held overnight, and the whole person who was tossed was gone. I even peeked at my sister's bath in Lishan Hot Spring when I was a child! (Note 1)

"Shhh Wang Xun gasped in shock, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"Didn't I know that? Little Hou Ye, I am the one who picks swill in a yamen, how can the news be too well-informed! Sun Renyu grimaced, lest Wang Xun return the reward he had just given him.

Fortunately, the third person who had not spoken seemed to understand more than Wang Xun and the bearded man, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Don't be difficult to catch Sun's head." It was out of his control. Sun Zhutou, we don't ask you for anything else, just guarantee that Brother Yuwen will not die in your Wannian County prison. As for where he will be taken in the future, we will find a way again!"

"Alas, definitely, definitely!" Sun Zhutou, who was still slandering Zhang Xun's belly in his stomach just now, was like being amnestied, and he slammed at the other party again and again. "This big brother can rest assured, with me, I promise not to let the Yuwen brothers suffer in the Yamen of Wannian County!"

"Then there will be a head catcher for Lao Sun!" Zhang Xun returned the hand, and the courtesy was meticulous.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Seeing that Zhang Xun was in a rage, he kept a clear and organized way in his words and deeds, and Sun Zhutou didn't dare to underestimate him. The gambling curse swore that he would do his best to protect Yuwen Zhi in Wannian County.

Zhang Xun and the three of them didn't have the energy to follow the villain and entangled, so they walked out of the county office quickly. I saw the sky outside again, but my mood was not clear at all. Wang Xun saw the dirtiest side of Chang'an City for the first time, and naturally he couldn't bear this heaviness. Zhang Xun was because the yamen at the feet of the Son of Heaven was so dirty that it was beyond his imagination, and he was greatly shaken by the concept of life that he had always believed. Only Lei Wanchun, who had seen the most and recovered the fastest from the blow, let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I finally understand why you have been evaluated for excellence year after year, but you have never been promoted. Under your rule, our yamen in Qinghe County is so poor that they don't even come to the mouse. If you are promoted and take charge of a state, then the officials of the state will be poor. If the officials in charge of one are in charge, the officials of the other cannot reach out to get oil and water. If you are allowed to enter the court, will you be the prime minister? Hehe, all the officials in the world have to hang themselves! ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Xun rolled his eyes, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only pretend that he hadn't heard anything just now.

"If you can give an evaluation of the merits, it can be regarded as your boss's conscience!" Just after being stimulated, Wang Xun's temperament also became angry, sneered a few times, shook his head and commented, "If it is really black-hearted, write a sentence on Brother Zhang's evaluation, 'Honest and incompetent!'" Let Brother Zhang completely give up the hope of promotion, so as to set an example for all officials in the world! ”

After that, I only felt that the sky above me was pitch black, and I was so depressed that I just wanted to hit my head against the tree.

As an official of the imperial court, although he has lost his real position now, Zhang Xun can't let Lei Wanchun and Wang Xun discredit 'his own people' after all, smiled, and turned the topic to Yu Wenzhi's case, "Don't chew your tongue." It always takes time to solve things, and you can't expect it to happen overnight. Leave it alone, let's find a way to solve Xiao Yuwen's troubles first. Ming Yun, what is the origin of the shopkeeper surnamed Zhu that Zida just mentioned? ”

"What else could it be! Behind him stood the brother of the imperial concubine! Referring to the characters behind Zhu's shopkeeper, Wang Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, "In this Beijing division, more than sixty percent of the rare goods shipped from Guangdong Road are from Zhu Ji. If there is no concubine's brother to cover him, who has the ability to occupy such a large share? ”

"You're talking about Yang Guozhong?" Zhang Xun's face changed color, "Isn't that another immortal even bigger!" ”

"Didn't you just say that?" Wang Xun punched the maple tree on the side of the road, smashing the red leaves flying all over the sky, "Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple are dispatched." Jing Zhaoyin's Wang Ji is also a doctor of the imperial history and a servant of the household department, and his power is only greater than that of the concubine's brother. And in the whole capital, who doesn't know that he and Li Xiang are wearing a pair of pants? Hehe, I originally thought that I could basically walk sideways in Chang'an City. Now it seems that the Wang family, the Qin family, and the Yuwen family, compared with the previous three, I am afraid they are not even a fart!! ”

Note 1: Dali Temple, according to the Tang Dynasty official system, was responsible for hearing cases related to nobles and high-ranking officials. Yuwen Zhi is a concubine and did not inherit the title, so he can only be regarded as a commoner and is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. If Wang Xun is replaced, it is possible that he will be handed over to Dali Temple.
