Chapter 110: Brilliant Idea

"Ahh Sun Dan screamed in shock, and hurriedly asked where the bookstore Li Meiting was arrested and where was he locked up?

The clerk smiled bitterly: "Where else can I go, it is naturally the edict of Jinyi Wei Beiya." ”

Beiya is the Beizhen Fusi, which is a subordinate institution of Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei is a secret agency of the Ming Dynasty, which is divided into two towns, south and north, and is also known as the south and north ya. Among them, Nan Ya was responsible for the military discipline and internal affairs of the Jinyi Wei Benwei, which was somewhat similar to the military police in later generations. As for the Beizhen Fu Division, he is responsible for criminal investigation, and has his own edict prison, specializing in the Qin case.

As soon as he heard that Mr. Li had been imprisoned, Sun Dan was shocked and couldn't help but get nervous, but he was still a little suspicious. He asked again: "Isn't the edict a high-ranking official who specializes in handling more than four grades, and Mr. Li is just a petty official of the sixth grade, why was he also arrested?" ”

The clerk sighed and replied, "Jingyuan, you don't know, in the early years, the edict was indeed dedicated to the four officials. After Chenghua, there is no such restriction in the Imperial Prison, as long as the Son of Heaven crosses the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to directly confess the case, the prisoner will go to the Beizhen Fusi to take care of it first, regardless of grade. ”

Speaking of this, the clerk suddenly looked annoyed, and paused: "I knew that I was going to go to prison, and I should have accompanied the priest and the wine lord to go to that place that day." In vain, I have many more sage books, but I haven't even been to Beiya once, and in the future, when my colleagues in the country are released, what face will I have to see them? ”

Sun Dan was silent, and said in his heart: You don't know the horror of the edict, and the power of the criminal law inside is unimaginable to ordinary people. Eighteen kinds of criminal laws, such as finger pinching, sticking, skinning, tongue, broken spine, falling fingers, piercing the heart, and pipa, are imposed on the body, and even a man who is beaten with iron will be tortured into a puddle of mud.

However, for scholars in the Ming Dynasty, if they received the court staff and went to prison, it was a glorious thing. It's no wonder that when the bookstore heard that everyone had entered the prison of Fusi in Beizhen, his face was full of regret.

Thinking of Li Meiting's lazy and uninhibited "sex", if he fell into the hands of that group of spies wearing brocade clothes and embroidered spring knives, Sun Dan's heart tightened, and he muttered: "I have to find a way to rescue Mr. Li, at least I should go to the prison to take care of it, so that he can suffer less." ”

The clerk had tears in his eyes: "There's no way, the water can't be poured into a place like the Imperial Prison, and the needle can't be 'inserted', and it's not a prison in Shuntianfu, so there is no way to move." ”

"No, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try." Sun Dan clenched his fists: "There is no endless road." "Li Meiting is his own mentor, even if he doesn't learn anything from him, this teacher-student relationship can't be erased. The people of the Ming Dynasty paid the most attention to honor, and it would be disgraceful to watch their teacher being arrested and not rescued. Besides, Mr. Li is good to him, so he should try his best to get him out of prison.

Coming out of the Guozi Prison, Sun Dan felt sad. In his hometown in Shandong, he is also a famous talent no matter how he says it, and he has the name of the first talent in Shandong, so he can be regarded as a character no matter how he says it. If something really happens, Zhang Zhixian and Jinan Prefect are their own grandmasters, so they have to give some affection no matter how they say it.

But when you go to the capital, a small talent like yourself has countless car fights, and it is nothing at all.

Now, his eyes are black, and even if he wants to go the door, he can't find the joint. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel very unhappy, he knew that he would not come to Beijing, and he lived happily in Shandong for a year and a half, and when he was tested in the autumn, he could smoothly enter the officialdom.

Unlucky, I was unlucky to see that I had taken the first place in the Shandong Academy exam at Sun's house, and wanted to envelop him, a young talent, so that Sun Dan would officially become a child of the Sun family. Since he is a member of the family, the patriarch said that he would come to Beijing, so he could not help but listen.

"The Sun family...... I didn't think of this. Sun Dan's eyes lit up.

Li Meiting's ability to be the supervisor of the Guozijian is the result of the efforts of the Sun family, and the Sun family is Yang Tinghe's person, so Li Meiting is also the Yang Party. Since Mr. Li and the Sun family are their own people, if the Sun family comes forward, there may be a way, at least it can make Li Meiting suffer less in prison.

That's right, you should go to Sun Henian right away.

As soon as he talked about going to the Sun family's compound, Sun Dan had a headache. After arriving in Beijing, because he was very uninterested in the Sun family, Sun Dan never went there once, but he was too lazy to look at Mrs. Liu's stinky face. Now, Sun Hao has gone to Tongzhou to be his carbon-burning petty official, Sun Yue and Sun Gui are both studying in the Yang family, and Sun Dan has nothing to talk about in the courtyard, so he is too lazy to go over and look at other people's eyes.

The courtyard of the Sun family in Beijing is located in Xizhimen Ma Zhuangyuan Hutong, that is, the palace of Prince Zhuang in later generations, and Sun Dan's residence is separated by a Shichahai, which is a little far away. Sun Dan walked for a long time, only to walk covered in sweat, and then he arrived at the place. Look up, a lot of buildings, many places are still erected with hard scaffolding, the Sun family this time for the maintenance of the old house in Beijing smashed down tens of thousands of taels of silver, the project is very large, it is estimated that the Spring Festival can be completed even Amitabha Buddha.

When Sun Dan walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Sun Zhong walking out.

Sun Zhong was also sharp-eyed, hurriedly ran over, and arched his hand: "Brother Dan'er is here, I heard that you have been coming to Beijing for a while, why haven't you come here?" Haha, I also heard about Brother Dan, and after reading the book for a few months, he won the first case of the Shandong Academy, and he was really a genius. I can't imagine that when the old body first thought of letting you enter the clan to learn to study, it would be like this. If Brother Dan really wins the lifting in the future and has a great future, the old decay will also have a light on his face. ”

Seeing that it was Sun Zhong, Sun Dan felt a little cordial, and hurriedly held his hand and said: "The great grace of the big housekeeper, Sun Dan will never forget it for the rest of his life, if it weren't for you, Sun Dan would still be asking for food in Zouping now." During this time, I was busy going to Guozijian to enroll in school, and I was busy looking for a place to live, so I haven't been able to come to see you, please understand. ”

Sun Zhong smiled: "Now Brother Dan is a young talent in the clan, I am just a subordinate, I can't afford to be a person, but I want to come to see the second master." It's also your luck, the second master is not working today, and he is reading a book at home. I will lead you there. ”

"There's a big housekeeper."

"Please."

This is the first time Sun Dan has entered the courtyard, and it is indeed the weather of the capital, this house is much larger than the two courtyards in Jinan and Zouping, and it is much more magnificent. In addition, many places have just been renovated and look very new, and the paint is so bright that it almost dazzles people's eyes.

Sun Dan looked at it and secretly said to himself, the scale of this courtyard has reached the level of a park that is not big or small in the future. This is in Beijing, but I don't know how much it is worth?

After walking for almost five minutes, he finally came to the study, Sun Henian was lying on the Hu bed reading a book in the sun, and when he saw Sun Dan coming, he didn't look at him, and his eyes still fell on the book. Next to him were two boys standing in silence.

"I've seen the second master." Sun Dan bowed his hand, but no one answered for a long time.

Seeing this, Sun Zhong had to whisper in Sun Dan's ear: "Brother Dan, the second master doesn't like to be disturbed the most when he reads, so you wait here first." ”

"Well, thanks butler." Sun Dan stood impatiently in front of Sun Henian and waited.

I don't know how long I waited, but it was okay at first, but I didn't feel anything. But standing in the back, Sun Dan only felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and his vest seemed to have countless insects crawling.

Seeing that the sun was rising in the sky little by little, Sun Henian's eyes did not raise from the page to look at Sun Dan.

Sun Dan waited full of resentment, and said in his heart: What kind of evil is this Sun Henian, such a big shelf, I don't seem to have provoked him recently. If it weren't for me boxing with Feng Zhen every day during this time, my health would be getting better and better. After walking such a long way, I came to you again to be punished, and I had to faint from standing.

But on the surface, he still had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing the sun rising little by little, it was already noon. Sun Zhong, who had been waiting outside, couldn't bear to see Sun Dan standing like this, and tiptoed over to Sun Henian's ear and said, "Second master, it's time for lunch." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Sun Henian threw the book in his hand aside, stood up and walked towards the door, and when he walked to Sun Dan's side, he stopped as if he suddenly found him: "Sun Dan, you are here, but for Li Meiting?" ”

"Exactly." Sun Dan arched his hand and said: "Mr. Li used to be the teacher of my Sun family, this time something is bad, and I ask the second master to think of a way." "This Sun Henian is obviously asking knowingly, and he can pretend to be B better than me.

"I'm just a small Tobe Langzhong, what can I do." Sun Henian said indifferently: "Tongtian's case, even Lord Shoufu can't 'intervene'. But Sun Dan, do you know what's wrong? ”

"I was wrong......" Sun Dan was a little stunned: "Sun Dan's teacher has an accident, as a student, you naturally have to try your best to help, and Sun Dan is worthy of what he did." ”

"Presumptuous." Sun Henian shouted: "Such a big case, others can't avoid it, but you put your head over and cut it off." What kind of place is Jinyiwei, without the will of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, will they come to arrest people? Sun Dan, you are a student of Li Meiting, and you are also a child of my Sun family. No matter what you do, you must consider the interests of the family, how can you act recklessly and get into trouble? It doesn't matter if something happens to you, it shouldn't involve the Sun family. ”

Sun Dan was greatly annoyed in his heart, snorted in his nose innorantly, and closed his mouth without speaking.

After teaching Sun Dan a few more lessons, Sun Henian softened his tone: "Sun Dan, you are one of the best children of my Sun family, and there is still one year to go." My Sun family has great expectations for you, and you shouldn't let us down. Study hard and prepare for the exam, it's better to take care of these idle things. ”

He let out a long breath and smiled softly: "Sun Dan, have you eaten, why don't you eat together?" ”

Sun Dan forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest and said, "Thank you, Second Master, Sun Dan ate it before he came." ”

"Well, your room in the courtyard has been cleaned up, if you can't get used to living outside, move in. Again, read with peace of mind and don't care about anything. ”

"Yes, thank you for the punishment of the second master, Sun Dan studies in Guozijian every day, and the place where he lives is close to there, so he won't move here."

"That's fine, it's up to you, remember to come back often." Sun Henian nodded.

came out of Sun's mansion full of resentment, and Sun was so angry that he almost scolded his mother.

He has fully understood that in the eyes of the Sun family, or in the eyes of Yang Ting and a series of civil officials, Li Meiting is just a small figure, and it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive. If you "intervene" to take care of it, you will get yourself into trouble.

Now, Sun Dan is the only one running for Mr. Li.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan was sad, and then he was angry: Sun Henian is a person who only values interests and has no personal feelings, and it seems that he will not save Mr. Li. The human affection is so cold, it is really depressing.

Lao Tzu really doesn't care.

was bored at the gate of the courtyard, but saw a big blue sedan chair coming from a distance, and the posture was not small.

Sun Dan didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly avoided the side, and was about to leave, but the sedan chair stopped in front of him, and a person walked down from it, letting out a hearty laugh: "It turned out to be Little Brother Sun, I heard that you have arrived in Beijing, why didn't you come to see me?" ”

Sun Dan looked up and saw that it was Yang Shen, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I've seen Master Yang." ”

"What Master Yang, if you don't want to be my student, let's talk about it as equals. I heard that you don't live in Sun's house. Yang Shen grabbed Sun Dan's hand and said, "I came to Sun's Mansion today to talk to Brother Crane Nian about something, since I met you, don't go, go with me to see Crane Nian, and we'll talk about it in detail later." I still have a few books of play that I haven't finished writing, you can help me read them. ”

Of course, Sun Dan refused to see Sun Henian's face without normal human feelings, so he forced a smile and said: "Bachelor Yang's drama is naturally very well written, but Sun Dan has been worried about Mr. Li's affairs in the past two days, and he is in a hurry to go to the door, so he can't delay here any longer." His heart lit up, Yang Shen was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he worked as the emperor's secretary every day. His father is the first assistant of the court, under one person, above ten thousand, if he can help, Li Meiting will be saved. Therefore, Sun Dan deliberately said this paragraph.

Hearing Sun Dan say this, Yang Shen didn't know what Sun Dan was thinking. He was originally a gentleman, cheerful and bold, and said to Sun Dan with a wry smile: "Little Brother Sun, it's not Yang Shen that I won't help." I haven't seen the Son of Heaven for a long time, and even if I want to, I can't see anyone. Besides, this case was decided by the Queen Mother, and no one could speak to the Queen Mother. The fact that you came to my door today shows that you still remember me as a friend. But I really can't help it? ”

"If that'......" Sun Dan heard that even Yang Shen had no way, and his heart sank.

Yang Shen saw Sun Dan's disappointed face, and said: "I can't see the Queen Mother, other people can see it, such as Marquis Wuding." Otherwise, I will write you a letter, and you can take the letter to the Marquis of Wu Ding, and see if he can help me in the face of me. Even if you can't save Brother Mei Ting, you have to let him suffer less in it. ”

"Wuding Marquis Guo Xun?" Sun Dan's eyes lit up, this is a powerful person!

"Yes, that's him. He stays with the Queen Mother every day, and if he can't do it, he won't be able to follow other people's paths. Yang Shen didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly asked his companion to take out the four treasures of the study, and he didn't pick a place. Holding a plain note in one hand and a pen in the other, he wrote the short message and handed it to Sun Dan: "Little Brother Sun, I am only a general friend with Wudinghou on weekdays, and I don't know if he will give me this face to see you once." Try your luck. ”

"Master Yang's face, he will definitely give it." Sun Danlian claimed to be grateful.

This matter is just as Yang Shen said, if Guo Xun is willing to help, even if he can't get Mr. Li out of prison, at least he can keep him safe.

In the past few days, Sun Dan has been reading documents with several secretaries in Guozijian all day long, talking about gossip in the political arena in the capital, and Guo Xun's name is the most heard in his ears.

During this time, Guo Xun can be regarded as half the sky.

Guo Xun is a descendant of Guo Ying, the first noble of the dynasty, and he did not become an official in the court. But he holds the military power of the 3,000 battalions of the forbidden army in the capital, and is the commander of the garrison of the capital, responsible for the security of the entire Beijing city. Now, Jiang Bin, who is in charge of Jinyiwei, has lost power again. The north and south towns have no leader, and they are all under their control.

It can be said that when Guo Xun coughs now, the ground in the entire Beijing will tremble.

If he is willing to 'intervene', this may be possible.

Sun Dan took Yang Shen's letter, and his heart was a little calmer.

In fact, Yang Shen's face Guo Xun didn't give him at all, or Guo Fu's family didn't give Yang Shen face at all.

When Sun Dan rushed to the Marquis of Wuding Mansion before he had time to eat, and handed over Yang Shen's letter, the porter waved his hand and said impatiently: "I know, it was introduced by Bachelor Yang." However, Master Hou has been very busy these days, and he doesn't see any guests, so please go back. You are just a little talent, Guozijian sesame big bookstore, if it weren't for Xiao Yang's letter, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you! ”

No matter how Sun Dan explained, the porter refused to go in to report.

Sun Dan didn't have any way, gritted his teeth, stuffed a ingot, two taels of silver into the hand of the porter, and said, "I came in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare, and I didn't pay tribute to mere courtesy." ”

The porter's face looked a little better, and he put the silver in his arms, and then whispered to him: "Scholar, you don't know, the Hou Ye has been really busy in the past two days, and he saw that the queen mother was passed into the palace to speak, and he didn't know what big things had happened." Recently, the guests in this mansion have not been broken, and the Hou Ye is also annoyed, and he is deadly, and not a single guest is allowed to come in, otherwise we will break our legs. ”

With that, he looked around in fear and saw that there was no one else. Only then did he say: "Xiucai, you go quickly, I have so many words with you, if people know, I will also eat and hang." ”

Hearing this, Sun Dan was desperate for a while, so he had no choice but to go home.

After returning home, seeing that Sun Dan's face was not good, Zhi Niang hurriedly came over to "touch" and "touch" Sun Dan's forehead: "Sun Lang, your face is red and flushed, are you cold?" ”

"It's hot." Sun Dan grabbed her hand and put it on his face, "Although the capital is good, it is not a place where Sun Dan can mix, I really want to go back to my hometown in Shandong, and I don't care about these troubles." Sun Dan has never thought about anything in his life, he just wants to take the Jinshi exam to become a seven-grade county official, and spend a few comfortable days with you. ”

"If Sun Lang doesn't want to live in the capital, go back to Shandong. Anyway, if you go there, Zhiniang will go there. Zhiniang said softly.

"Silly words, escaping from the battle is not my Sun Dan's style. Besides, I am a child of the Sun family, and I have to listen to the patriarch in everything I say and do. You and I are now settled in Shuntianfu, and we can't go back to Shandong. Sun Danqiang smiled: "I'm hungry, do you still have anything to eat at home?" ”

"I'll do it." Zhi Niangzi hurriedly stood up and said, "By the way, a troupe owner named He Zhanbu came to visit you before, saying that he was rehearsing for Wu He Hou. It's a pity, what kind of Hou Ye doesn't like his play. Boss Zhan came to you and asked if you could help him write another festive play, which would be a good deal. ”

"Marquis of Wuding?" Sun Dan is a spirit.

"yes, it seems to be the name."

"Well, that's great." Sun Danmeng stood up, "I'll go to him, do you have his address?" ”

"The boss of the exhibition left the address, but ...... You haven't eaten yet, have you? ”

"Don't eat it, it's a big deal, I'll eat some on the way." Sun Dan: "Give me the address quickly." Suddenly, something vague welled up in his mind, as if he had grasped something.

The status of the Ming Dynasty drama was humble, and Sun Dan was not stupid enough to want to see Guo Xun by spreading this relationship. If he does this, it will hurt Buguan, but I am afraid that when the sissy guy mentions himself in front of Guo Xun, he will have to be beaten to death by others before he says anything.

But Sun Dan always felt that this was an opportunity, and he could always find a way. As for what method to use, he didn't think of it for a while. Maybe when I see Zhanfu, I'll be able to figure it out.

He didn't walk this time, so he asked Feng Zhen to hire a carriage, and rushed to the courtyard where the Zhan family class lived without lunch.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, it was so lively inside, and it was loud and staging, and it was noisy, making people dizzy.

As soon as he saw Sun Dan, Bu Guanjiao leaned over and pointed at Sun Dan's forehead with an orchid finger: "I hate it, I don't remember to come to Beijing to see people for so long." I finally hope for you today, otherwise the slave's "life" will be lost. ”

Sun Dan was so frightened by him that his hair was about to stand up, and he forced a smile: "Isn't I here now, how is the business?" I heard that you are rehearsing for the Marquis of Wuding, and I don't know what happy events there are in the Hou Mansion? ”

"Business is naturally good, thanks to Brother Sun'er's blessing, the "Sword Story" that you and Xiao Yang collaborated on caused a sensation in the entire capital, and the slave family has to sing a paragraph every time they perform, otherwise there is no way to get off the stage. Hey, I'm tired of singing. The slave family thought about it day and night, and thought that Brother Dan'er would write a new play for me, and it would be a little fresh. Buguan twisted Yang Liu's waist and said coquettishly: "This Guo Xun is so annoying, no matter what drama I rehearse, he is not satisfied, and he can't even look down on "The Legend of the Sword", saying that it is not suitable." Ask him if there are any festive things in the house, so that he can arrange a play. But he just didn't say whether he was alive or dead. It's so nasty, it's nasty! ”

As he spoke, he angrily kicked a clump of holly in the flower bed.

Hearing what the cloth official said, Sun Dan was also curious in his heart, what the hell is this Guo Xun doing, he invited the troupe, but he didn't say what kind of drama he wanted, it was really a little weird.

However, after listening to this passage, the idea in Sun Dan's heart vaguely took shape, and he already had a brilliant idea.

Doesn't he want to listen to the play, I'll give you a wonderful play.
