Chapter 66: Go and Help
Zhao An rented a black donkey, renting a horse or mule was too expensive, he couldn't pay the deposit, so he could only rent a black donkey, this black donkey was very cheap, the rent was very low, only fifty wen a day, he rode the black donkey out of the city gate and rushed to Shangyang Academy.
Along the way, Zhao An competed with this black donkey, this black donkey was extremely stubborn, and he was able to walk in the city, but after leaving the city, he stood still, no matter how Zhao An pumped it, it didn't move, and stood in place with a big mouth and shouted!
Zhao An knew that there was no good goods in the cheap, this black donkey was disobedient, but fortunately, it was cheap, he summed it up in his heart, anyway, it was not his own donkey, and if he was disobedient, he would beat it until the black donkey was obedient, he didn't want to get used to this beast.
Zhao An jumped off the black donkey and went to the side of the road to find a stick, the whip is not good, then use a stick, don't beat the black donkey's butt swollen, his Zhao character is written upside down!
But when Zhao An found the stick, he found that the black donkey ran away by himself, and ran along the avenue, running quite fast!
Zhao An was so angry that he chased desperately behind him with a stick, but he chased for several miles, and he didn't catch up with the black donkey, he stopped when he was tired, and the black donkey didn't run away, standing on the side of the road to gnaw the grass on the ground.
When Zhao An rested and came over to catch the black donkey, the donkey ran wildly, causing Zhao An to chase behind, and so repeatedly, Zhao An chased the donkey for more than ten miles!
Fortunately, they met a few merchants on the road, and the merchants came to meet them, and when they saw this situation, they all laughed, and helped them step forward to stop the black donkey, and then they taught Zhao An a method.
This method is to let Zhao An ride on the black donkey, doesn't he have a stick in his hand, the merchant gave him a turnip, tied to the stick, let Zhao An carry the stick, like fishing, put the radish in front of the black donkey's mouth, teasing the black donkey to bite the radish, but not let the black donkey bite.
In this way, Zhao An only needs to hand the stick forward slightly, and the black donkey will go forward, stretch out his mouth to bite the radish, the more the black donkey can't bite the radish, the more anxious it is, the more anxious it is, the faster it will run, and it will trot on the road!
The merchants looked at the back of Zhao An and the black donkey, and all laughed, this method is the best way to deal with the donkey, the donkey has a stubborn temper, the more it can't bite, the more it wants to bite, it has to eat the radish, but it is impossible to eat, so it can only keep running, unless the owner asks it to stop.
Zhao An rode on the black donkey, and his heart was relieved, it turned out that riding a donkey was such a way of riding, and the one who rented the donkey was also lacking in virtue, so he didn't make it clear earlier, or he could send a radish with it, and he didn't have to follow the donkey's buttocks, and ran for more than ten miles!
The black donkey was rented, of course he didn't need to cherish it, he hurried all the way, but it was much faster than walking, and at dusk, he rushed to Shangyang Academy, and Zhao An rode the black donkey to the mountain gate.
There are a lot of students in and out of the academy, the students finish eating, like to walk around and eat, but suddenly see a black donkey down the mountain, small hooves to get, up the steps is quite fast, especially the person riding on the back of the donkey, actually used a radish to tease the donkey, the students all laughed, although they read a lot, but they really don't know how to ride a donkey in this way!
Two of the students laughed the loudest, but the two students looked to be only in their teens, and they were both young men, one with clear eyebrows, the other with fat heads and big ears, and the clothes they wore were very decent, and they looked like children of rich and noble families.
Zhao An is not angry, he doesn't say that others want to laugh when they look at it, he wants to laugh himself, he put away the radish and doesn't give it to the black donkey to eat, isn't the black donkey stubborn, Zhao An is determined to be more stubborn than this black donkey, I won't let you run, you run away, okay, if you want to eat, I won't let you eat!
Zhao An jumped down from the black donkey and asked the two little boys, he said: "Dare to ask the two little boys, may I ask if this is Shangyang Academy, is there a classmate named Li Rizhi in your academy?" ”
The clear-eyed young man was slightly stunned, and then said, "Yes, what are you looking for him?" ”
This young man is Li Rizhi, and the fat-headed and big-eared young man next to him is, of course, Fu Guibao, Cheng Zizi and Chen Yingying came two days ago, but now they are gone, and there are only two of them left in the academy.
Zhao An hurriedly said: "I don't know that classmate Li Rizhi is not in the academy now, and I want to ask him for help!" ”
Li Rizhi frowned and said, "You came here and want to buy Bi Nan Pills, and you want to have a son?" ”
He misunderstood, thinking that Zhao An was here to buy Bi Nan Pills, but he didn't know that his reputation for solving the case had spread, and this master-level donkey rider was Hu Wei's brother-in-law.
Zhao An didn't understand what Li Rizhi said, at this time all he was thinking about was how to save Hu Wei, he said: "No, no, it's Hu Wei's brother-in-law in your academy, and now Hu Wei has a lawsuit, he was wronged and locked up in a prison in Huxian County, he asked me to find a classmate named Li Rizhi, and wanted to ask him for help, help him solve the case, and save him from prison." ”
Zhao An didn't hide it, and summarized the incident in a few sentences, hoping that the two teenagers in front of him could help him find out Li Rizhi as soon as possible, and then go to rescue Hu Wei as soon as possible.
Li Rizhi listened, turned his head to look at Fu Guibao, Fu Guibao was also surprised, although they were studying in the same academy as Hu Wei, they were not in the same classroom, and they rarely met, and they didn't even know that Hu Wei had not returned for three days, let alone that he had been arrested.
"I am Li Rizhi, and I am the only one in this academy whose name is Li Rizhi!" Li Rizhi said, however, now that it is getting dark, he is not sure whether he wants to go down the mountain, rush to Huxian, and rescue Hu Wei, in case this person is lying, he just wants to trick the two children down the mountain.
Zhao An sighed and thought, "Li Rizhi is a child? This Hu Wei didn't tell me, he didn't say how old Li Rizhi was! ”
Li Rizhi looked at his expression and knew that he didn't believe it, so he smiled and said, "Hu Wei must have told you that my uncle is the county magistrate of Xingyang, right?" ”
Zhao An nodded hurriedly, this time he was sure, the young man in front of him should be Li Rizhi, Hu Wei actually asked him to find such a teenage child to help, which was really much unexpected to him.
Li Ri knew: "Then you come to see the mountain chief of our academy, I want to go down the mountain, I have to ask him for leave, and besides, now it's getting late, I can't hurry, you stay here for a night, let's leave as soon as possible tomorrow!" ”
After speaking, Li Rizhi shouted at the black donkey who couldn't eat the radish and was still angry: "Donkey, go up the mountain, I'll give you a radish to eat!" He waved at the black donkey.
Zhao Anxin said secretly: "This black donkey, don't go, fight backwards, it's useless to deceive it, you have to ride it, and then deceive it!" ”
Who knows, the black donkey listened to Li Rizhi's greeting, snorted, moved his little hooves, followed Li Rizhi with success, and entered the mountain gate!
Zhao An Daqi was very impressed, because he had competed with this black donkey all the way, but Li Rizhi only said hello, and the black donkey was obedient, could he not be surprised and admired.
Zhao An couldn't help but praise: "It's really a young talent, the capable can do anything, it seems that classmate Li will definitely be able to return Hu Wei's innocence!" ”
"Just because he's good at driving donkeys?" Fu Guibao on the side said.
Li Rizhi turned around and said: "You are Hu Wei's brother-in-law, I don't know what to call it, I will take you up the mountain, and after a while, you will see that there is a wall at the main entrance of the academy, and classmate Fu made friends with Hu Wei under the shadow wall!" ”
He also wants to mention Fu Guibao's feces under the shadow wall, which is the pain in the heart of the little fat man Fu Guibao in his life, a stain that can't be washed away!
Fu Guibao hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "This Brother Hu, you can stay in the academy tonight, there are special guest rooms for guests in the academy, and you can also serve dinner, but the food is not very good." ”
Zhao An hurriedly said: "Although I am Hu Wei's brother-in-law, I am not surnamed Hu, my surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao An, dare to ask what this little brother is called?" ”
"My name is Fu Guibao, I am Li Rizhi's classmate, Hu Wei I know, he talks too much nonsense, he always speaks inexplicably, which makes people scratch their heads, he is in prison this time, and he is very unlucky!" Fu Guibao said.
Fu Guibao is quite a little gloating, he was pit by Hu Wei once, two days ago in the back mountain barbecue, and Hu Wei quarreled a few words, so this time Hu Wei was unlucky, he couldn't help but have to say a few words, exuding the depression in his heart, and also sighed Hu Wei's bad luck!
Who knows, Zhao An said loudly: "Yes, classmate Fu, what you said is so right, he just speaks inexplicably, that's why he ate this lawsuit!" ”
Zhao An has some heroic views on Fu Guibao, so he told in detail how Hu Wei got into prison and was beaten to the board, after Fu Guibao heard it, he clapped his hands again and again, of course, not to express joy, but to express regret, why Hu Wei can't control his own mouth, this time it's okay, get beaten!
Li Rizhi asked the servants in the academy to send the black donkey to the horse pen, and then he took Zhao An to see Guo Youjun and told Guo Youjun about the matter.
Guo Youjun was of course very surprised, although he was not optimistic about Hu Wei and thought that Hu Wei was not suitable for taking the road of the imperial examination, but Hu Wei was his student after all, and the teacher would not care if the student suffered!
Guo Youjun immediately took up the pen and wrote a letter, asking Li Rizhi to take it to Huxian, he and Huxian County Commander have met several times, Huxian County Commander will definitely give him this face, at least he will not torture Hu Wei again, and he can be accommodating, let Li Rizhi help defend Hu Wei, if Li Rizhi can't do it, then Guo Youjun will naturally take action and personally visit Huxian County Order.
After Li Rizhi took the letter, he went down the mountain with Zhao An early the next morning, and Fu Guibao strongly asked to go together, and after asking Guo Youjun for leave, he also went down the mountain to be a helper for Li Rizhi.
On the way to Huxian, Zhao An was very puzzled, he saw that Li Rizhi was only in his teens, and that Fu Guibao was about the same age, why was Guo Youjun so relieved and let his two little boys go down the mountain to rescue Hu Wei?
After Zhao An asked tactfully, Li Rizhi said with a smile: "I have solved the case, and the county magistrate of Huxian County always wants to sell the face of my teacher, and he will also sell my uncle a face, so if classmate Hu is really wronged, then even if it takes a little effort to try this case, the county magistrate will tolerate it." ”
In order to get a better evaluation at the end of the year, the Huxian county order must solve the case as soon as possible, catch the murderer, and return the people of Huxian County to a bright and prosperous life, and by the way, he will also brush up on his official prestige.
In this case, there will often be a situation of torture into a trick, and the situation of unjust imprisonment will be greatly increased, so the faster the case is solved, the more unfavorable it will be to Hu Wei, on the contrary, if the county order of Huxian County is willing to use a little more strength, then it may be possible to find the real murderer, take a step back, at least it will not be said that Hu Wei is the murderer.
Hurry up all the way, Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao took the car, and it was Fu Laixi, the family of the Fu family, who drove the car, and Zhao An rode a black donkey to follow behind, and the road went smoothly and came to the county government of Huxian County.
