Chapter 9 Exploring Sili's Mansion at Night, and Finding Liu Gengsheng Again
Chapter 9 visited Sili's Mansion at night, and then looked for Liu Gengsheng
Si Lixiao, who was placed in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not only has the right to picket and impeach the central officials, but also has the right to arrest and punish, with 1,200 soldiers, high and powerful, and hundreds of officials are afraid.
That's why someone wrote an anonymous report letter to the Lieutenant's Mansion of Si Li, reporting that Chen Tang begged for help, which led to Chen Tang's arrest and imprisonment.
Chen Tang was wearing a night suit and decided to sneak into the Sili Captain's Mansion at the fourth watch tonight, steal the anonymous report letter, and find out who was behind the scenes according to the handwriting.
As the saying goes: one more dusk, two more people, three more at night, four more roosters, five more Pingdan, people in the middle of the day at two or three o'clock in the night is the most want to sleep, especially in ancient times, most people are sunset, so Chen Tang chose the fourth watch to sneak into the Sili School Governor's Mansion.
Chen Tang lay in ambush near the Lieutenant's Mansion early in the morning, and when night fell, the city gates around him were locked, and a team of soldiers patrolled the streets, and once they found someone walking on the street, they were immediately arrested and put in prison.
In ancient China, especially before the Song Dynasty, curfews were imposed at night, and it was a felony for anyone to violate the curfew and haunt the streets.
If they encounter powerful people, they will also turn a blind eye;
If you encounter a law enforcer who is upright and does not show personal feelings, even if it is a powerful person, violating the curfew is a dead end.
Among them, the most famous is that when Cao Cao was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang in his early years, he beat Uncle Jian Shuo, who violated the curfew, to death with a five-colored stick on the spot, which caused quite a stir at the time.
On the fourth watch, the patrolling soldiers changed guards, Chen Tang took the opportunity to sneak in, looking for the archives cabinet where the archives were stored, the Sili Mansion occupied a huge area, there were many pavilions, and Chen Tang was not familiar with the internal situation, like a headless fly - the house was full of wandering, and he had to look for it from room to room, and the result was bound to be a waste of time, and the probability of being found was greatly expanded!
Several times he was almost discovered by the patrol soldiers, but fortunately, Chen Tang's agility was very sensitive, and he cleverly covered up the past and avoided unnecessary disputes.
Perhaps it was the emperor who lived up to his wishes, Chen Tang finally found the Archives Pavilion in the Pavilion, but a new problem arose, there were actually two soldiers guarding in front of the Archives Gate.
The two soldiers stood in front of the door with spears, their heads kept hooking, looking drowsy, Chen Tang was overjoyed, and quietly came behind them, and then stretched out his arms to the side of their heads.
"Bang-"
The heads of the two soldiers collided intimately, and then quickly collapsed, Chen Tang picked up their spears and plunged them into the ground, and lifted the two unconscious soldiers up on the stable spears, which looked as if they were sleeping with their spears in their arms from a distance.
Chen Tang clapped his hands with satisfaction, and came up with a way to silently give a thumbs up for himself, then sneaked into the Archives Pavilion and lit the fire.
The information stored in the archives pavilion is extremely rich, from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the current period of His Majesty's early peace, all the information about the Sili School Governor's Mansion for more than 40 years, fortunately, the time when the Chen Tang case happened just passed, and when entering the archives pavilion Chen Tang found the bookshelves with the word "Chuping" written at first sight, but unfortunately there were countless bamboo slips stacked on it.
Chen Tang casually took out a bamboo slip and unfolded it to take a look, which read, "Chen Tang Zigong, a native of Shanyang Flawed Hill, the current Taiguan Offering Food, was raised as Maocai by Zhang Bo, Marquis of Fuping, but his father did not return, and he begged for a begging officer, looking at Lord Zhuge Mingjian!" ”
"It's good luck, I just picked one and found it." Chen Tang said happily: "But this wind is vigorous and powerful and self-contained, without thirty years of hard work, I'm afraid I can't write this kind of words, with this report letter, I can get the handwriting of other Maocai, and I will definitely be able to find the murderer behind the scenes."
"Maocai is mainly based on officials and filial piety, and a small number of them are too students and civilians, not to mention two or three hundred people, if you want to check them one by one, I'm afraid it's not realistic, if I have this batch of Maocai list, it's good to ......."
Chen Tang put the report letter in his arms, blew out the fire, and then walked away.
The next day, the two guards came to their senses, and they both looked at each other with cute faces, why did they fall asleep last night, hey...... No matter what...... Anyway, no one found out, hey, why did this gun go so deep and couldn't pull it out...... But this method is not bad, and it will be like this next time I am on duty......
At this time, Chen Tang had already come to the Yangcheng Hou Mansion.
Although Liu Gengsheng was pardoned and released from prison, he was also dismissed from office and demoted to a concubine, and temporarily lived in the mansion of his brother Liu Anmin, Marquis of Yangcheng.
"Zigong......" Liu Gengsheng heard that his subordinates were coming, and immediately went out to greet him, and said overjoyed: "I couldn't look for you when I was released from prison yesterday, but I didn't expect you to visit today, Liu was really flattered."
Chen Tang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It's really a sin to bother Brother Zizheng to worry, after the younger brother is released from prison, he will go to worship Gong Zhang." Coming here today, there are many presumptuous places, and I hope that Brother Zizheng will not be blamed! ”
"Zigong can come, it has already made my Liu Mansion shine...... Liu Gengsheng waved his hand and said: "Zigong also invited him to talk to him."
"Brother Zizheng is really polite." Chen Tang was also very polite and humble.
Because Liu Gengsheng lives in his brother's house, his family lives in the side hall.
Liu Gengsheng led Chen Tang to the side hall, where a three- or four-year-old child was reciting the Book of Songs: "
There are arbors in the south, which cannot be contemplated; Han has a wandering girl, unthinkable.
The breadth of the Han is incomprehensible; Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible.
The wrong salary, the words are clear; The son of Yu is home, and his words are his horse.
…………”
"The breadth of the Han is unthinkable; Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible.
warped the wrong salary, and said that it was bad; The son of Yu is home, and he is a horse.
The breadth of the Han is incomprehensible; Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. ”
Chen Tang stopped and shouted!
The child placed it in the bamboo slip, opened a pair of innocent big eyes, and looked at Chen Tang curiously.
Chen Tang smiled in return and smiled at Liu Gengsheng: "Brother Zizheng, when I was my age and Ling Gongzi, I didn't even recognize words, but Ling Gongzi can recite freely, it's really terrifying!"
Liu Gengsheng beckoned, and the child ran over and saluted Liu Gengsheng, "Father." Then he saluted Chen Tang and said, "Uncle."
Chen Tang pinched his little face and said with a smile: "In the future, call me big brother, and call my uncle old ......."
The child was slightly stunned, blinked his big eyes, and then said: "Uncle is a good friend of his father, so naturally he is an uncle, how can he be called a big brother?"
"Hahaha......" Chen Tang stroked his palms and laughed: "Brother Zizheng, Lingzi is very smart, and it is definitely not a thing in the pool!"
Liu Gengsheng stroked the back of the child's head with one hand, stroked his beard with the other, and said with a smile: "Speaking of knowledge, who can be as good as one ten-thousandth of the son, but Xin'er is the most popular among my sons, and will be able to inherit my career in the future and complete my unfinished business!"
Chen Tang held his thumb up and highly praised:
Liu Xin...... What a show! ”
