Huang Bingwen had long wanted to arrest Wu Xiang and Tang Jing, and when he heard that the two of them were also counted as witnesses, he was overjoyed.

Hai Rui sent Zhu Hui to find Tang Jing, and Shi Shiyong escorted Wu Xiang from prison to the court, at this time, it was almost dawn.

After being the king of Dongou , Tang Jing didn't need to kneel in the court, and when he saw Wu Xiang lying on the ground and dying, he pouted again and again, thinking in his heart, if you go back, your marriage will be ruined......

Huang Bingwen walked up to Wu Xiang and said sharply: "No wonder Pang Shangpeng can write a book of disobedience, it turns out that there are fox friends like you, and you, the family of a big corrupt official, privately collude with demons, collude with pirates and pirates, and plague the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River. ”

At this moment, Wu Xiang was panting and indifferent to all this......

Huang Bingwen circled around Tang Jing and let out a sneer.

"According to this official's secret investigation, after you ran back from the pirate den, you are still inextricably linked to the pirate gang. On the day you arrived home, Xu Kun was suddenly kidnapped, and no one is alive or dead, which is the proof. Otherwise, why arrange for Jinyiwei to live in your house? ”

After Huang Bingwen finished performing, he glared at Zhu Hui and the others, and immediately turned his gaze to Pang Shangpeng.

So, Pang Shangpeng obtained Hai Rui's consent and told Tang Jing and Wu Xiang about borrowing money in detail, but did not mention Wu Lian's deposit in Qianzhuang.

Hai Rui asked, "Tang Daguan and Wu Gongzi, do you have any objections to the confession of the shopkeeper Pang?" ”

Tang Jing said that it was completely true.

Hai Rui slapped the shocked wood, and then asked, "Wu Xiang, you still haven't recruited from the truth?" ”

Wu Xiang rolled on the ground, then sat up, threw his long shawl hair behind him, closed his eyes and laughed loudly.........

Seeing this, Huang Bingwen kicked him hard.

"The peach blossom hermitage in the peach blossom dock, the peach blossom fairy under the peach blossom hermitage; The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms to sell wine for money. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers; Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse; The car dust and horses are full of fun for the rich, and the wine cup is rich in flowers. If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the heavens; If the poor are compared to chariots and horses, he has to drive me to be idle. Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it; I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, no flowers and no wine hoes--made--Tian ......"

Wu Xiang looked crazy, and after reciting the long note, he got up and was about to leave the hall.

Huang Bingwen didn't stop him, pursed his mouth, and asked contemptuously: "Lord Hai, how can you testify if you find such a madman?" ”

As soon as Wu Xiang reached the door, he was stopped by the officials, grabbed him by the hair, and dragged him into the court.

When Yang Gongzi saw this, he was immediately furious, and chased after him and shouted: "Don't be rude to readers!" ”

Huang Bingwen was so angry that he grabbed Yang Gongzi and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"My son heard someone say that this benevolent brother is crazy, hehe, he can recite Tang Yin and Tang Bohu's "Peach Blossom Anthem", how can he be a madman?"

Huang Bingwen pointed at Wu Xiang and said loudly: "You don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, as a body to treat crimes, you can just take the opportunity to redeem your merits, as long as you truthfully recruit the authors of these two books, this official will intercede for you in front of the factory and forgive your sins." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard Hai Rui ask: "Wu Xiang, tell me first, what are the names of those two books?" ”

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, and replied with his hands dancing: "One is called "Golden Vase Plum", which is made in the name of Xiaosheng fake Tuolan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng; There is also a book of "Journey to the West", because I am grateful to Shen Lao for not forgetting the old feelings, seeing that Xiaosheng is so down, he still shows kindness to me, so I take Wu Chengen as a pen name to commemorate. ”

Yang Gongzi was surprised when he heard this, and he looked excited and grabbed Wu Xiang, quite sympathetic.

"My son read at night, I wanted to break my brain, and named that strange book "Golden Vase Plum", but I didn't expect it to be in line with the will of heaven, and sure enough, the hero saw the same!"

"Childe has a heart, could it be that Wenqu Xing descended to earth?" Wu Xiang laughed loudly, as if he had found a confidant in life.

Yang Gongzi hurriedly replied with a smile: "Wu Gongzi is rich in five cars and talented in eight buckets, which is admirable and admirable!" ”

Now that Wu Xiang had confessed, Hai Rui stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction......

Huang Bingwen looked angry, slapped Yang Gongzi in the face, and scolded: "You eat things inside and outside, you really can't help the dog to help the wall." ”

Yang Gongzi's great-ancestor is the famous Wuzong, the two dynasties of Sejong, and the powerful Yang Tinghe, who was born in such a family, and looked down on Huang Bingwen in his heart; Of course, when he came to Nanjing, he was also fed up with Huang Bingwen's bullying, and just received this slap, which made him even more embarrassed, so he pounced on Huang Bingwen like teeth and claws, and the two were arrested like shrews in the public court......

Hai Rui immediately made a shock, and the officials on both sides shouted "Quiet ......"

Huang Bingwen hurriedly avoided Yang Gongzi and sat back in front of the case with a snort. But Yang Gongzi didn't give up, chased after him and pointed at his nose and scolded.

"Eunuch turtle son! My father took 500,000 taels of silver and let us do business in Jinling together, and how much did you spend when you came to Nanjing? Did I see the ledger? Don't think that my son doesn't know what you're doing, you don't have the ability to make money as a dog official, but you make a big fuss with two strange books, in a vain attempt to frame Pang Shangpeng and annex Xingji Qianzhuang. ”

This is tantamount to the debunking of this conspiracy, which is recorded as a testimony in court.

At this moment, Huang Bingwen was very embarrassed, his face was red and white for a while, he was a little overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment, and began to justify.

"Master Hai Mingjian, although Xia Guan has not read those two books, I am sure that it is not Wu Xiang's wine bag rice bucket ...... that can write such an article."

Tang Jing watched the joke, and now it was time for him to appear and explain the origin of the two books according to what Zhu Hui taught him.

These two books were indeed written by Wu Xiang, and at that time, because he was worried that Hai Daren would find trouble with him, he sold the newly completed mansion to himself, and these two books were left in the mansion; A few days ago, the down-and-out Wu Gongzi came to ask for it, and he accompanied him to Xingji Money Village, mortgaged the manuscript and manuscript, and borrowed two thousand taels of silver.

Wu Xiang was worried that Tang Jing was hiding evil intentions, so he moved to his side and whispered: "You died of that heart, yesterday, Shen Lao Yuanwai personally took his beloved daughter to visit his son in prison, Miss Yueying is infatuated with Xiaosheng and is willing to wait for me for the rest of my life." ”

Tang Jing didn't believe in the mountain alliance and sea oath at all, and replied with a sneer: "Then you just wait slowly." ”

"Two or two plays with Shatin, and the long doubt can't be painted; The brocade machine fights for the weaving sample, and the song loves to call the name; It is good to educate and inhabit, and it is pitiful and shallow; The gulls are all kinds, but they are envious and affectionate. Hehe, Tang Daguan, you hide and envy you. ”

A farce ended, Hai Rui put the evidence in front of everyone, got up and asked: "Everyone, please see clearly, are these two books that the criminal officer Huang Zhang is pursuing?" ”

Huang Bingwen ordered someone to escort Li into the account room and asked, "Are these the two books you reported?" Was it Pang Shangpeng's doing? ”

Li Shufang was so frightened that he was silent, how could he dare to gnaw again?

Then, Hai Rui asked the person concerned, Pang Shangpeng, to come over and identify, and asked, "Shopkeeper Pang, these scrolls were mortgaged to you by Wu Xiang, and they were borrowed by Yang Gongzi?" ”

Pang Shangpeng nodded yes, so the Shangyuan County Order personally called the witnesses Yang Gongzi, Wu Xiang, Tang Jing and others to the case, and asked them to sign the confession in court.

Yang Gongzi found that all the manuscripts were sealed by the Shangyuan County Order, and said in disappointment: "Before this son had time to approve the deletion and addition, he was secretly invested by Mingzhu, which is really a pity, a pity!" If you let Ben Gongzi's wonderful pen come to life and polish it again, it will definitely become a classic like the articles of the sages and sages, and it will surely last through the ages. ”

Hai Rui patted the shocked wood again and asked, "Wu Xiang, what else do you have to say?" ”

"No complaints, let Lord Hai deal with it."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Gongzi patted him on the shoulder and said emotionally: "Dude, it's good!" If Lord Hai sentences you to prison, my surname Yang will accompany you to sit through the prison. ”

Hai Rui said loudly: "The trial of this case has been completed, and the culprit Wu Xiang, because there are other cases in him, has been brought back to the governor's yamen to continue to detain; falsely accused the owner's Li account room and handed it over to Shangyuan County for disposal; The rest of the people waited for the court to be released and quit! ”

Yang Gongzi glanced at Huang Bingwen and gloated: "Harming others is like harming yourself, you can't harm others and yourself, 500,000 taels of silver is nothing to me, but let Ben Gongzi know what it means to be a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!" Lord Hai, let me accompany Wu Gongzi to prison together. ”

Hai Rui glared at him fiercely and replied solemnly: "It's not a good thing to be young and proud of your talents; If you don't understand the principles of heaven and human ethics, how can you write an article that is not amazing and endless'! ”

Yang Gongzi was very unconvinced, and said angrily: "Lord Hai, in my son's opinion, these two books are nothing, if Wu Gongzi is convicted for this, it will be a literary prison and will be infamous by future generations." ”

"I haven't read these two books, but the text is good? The world has its own judgment, don't be whimsical. ”

Yang Gongzi asked reluctantly: "The world judges? Who will judge? ”

"The Ministry of Rites will send officials to review it, and when the time comes, let them judge."

Hearing this, Huang Bingwen knew in his heart that in order to identify the identities of the two Japanese, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Guests should come soon.

With Yang Gongzi's family background and connections, if he defended these two books, I am afraid that the officials of the Ministry of Rites would have to give him three points, so I saw him give Hai Rui a deep salute and asked: "Lord Hai, can you let Xiaosheng go to the adult's official residence to borrow it for a few days?" ”

Hai Rui asked puzzledly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Wait for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Xiaosheng has to reason with them."

As the leader of Qingliu, Hai Rui has no interest in the wealthy and powerful, and he only knows the origin of this Yang Gongzi, who came from a family and went to Nanjing to open a money bank to do business, and he doesn't know who he is?

Huang Bingwen was so angry that he had already walked out of the court, Yang Gongzi had already made up his mind that he would not deal with him in the future, and continued to pestering Hai Rui and chattering......

Hai Jui asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times;

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

After listening to Yang Gongzi memorize this poem, Hai Rui turned around and said, "Even if you tell "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again, I will not take you away. ”

"Hai-sama has misunderstood! This "Linjiang Immortal" is not written by Luo Guanzhong, this is the poem of Xiaosheng's grandfather, Yang Shen, who was quoted by later storytellers, please don't underestimate Yang's family......"

At this time, Hai Rui understood who he was, nodded and replied, "Come with me, but don't laugh at this official." ”

"Thank you, Lord Hai! In my spare time, I accompany adults to recite poems and let me play in Jiangnan for a few more days. ”

When the sky was bright, the Shangyuan County Commander sent someone to put Li Jiaofang in prison, and the servants of the governor's yamen put shackles on Wu Xiang and escorted him out of the court.

Huang Bingwen, who never admitted defeat, returned to Yang Ji Qianzhuang, immediately called Tie Niu and ordered: "You will now turn into a Taoist priest of Youfang, contact the gentry and officials of Yingtian's ten prefectures and one state, and jointly impeach Hai Rui." ”

Tie Niu was quite embarrassed, and replied cautiously: "Lord Huang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Li Accounts said, let Chaotian Palace's highly respected real people come forward, only then can it have appeal, and I, a fake Taoist, will forget it." ”

"Immediately go to worship the Qingyi Zhenren of Chaotian Palace as a teacher, we will never drag mud and water again this time. From today onwards, you should realize your own heart, see your nature, the devil will block and kill the devil, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha! ”

Hearing such madman-style wild words, Tie Niu felt a cold sweat break out in his spine, and suddenly remembered his mother's words in Qixia Temple.

Your eight characters are not good, it is all the fault of your mother, who is willing to suffer for you and pray for the Buddha's forgiveness of her son's sins......

Looking at the stunned Tie Niu, Huang Bingwen asked, "What else do you want to do?" ”

"My lord, Chaotian Palace is a royal dojo, if Qingyi Zhenren doesn't approve of it, I'm afraid he will only lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot."

"And what do you think?"

So, Tie Niu whispered to him, and Huang Bingwen nodded when he heard it.

"Okay, that's it! You go and prepare, the more people gathered, the better, tomorrow I will go to Chaotian Palace, we can only succeed, we can no longer fail! ”

"Thank you, Lord Huang!"

Tie Niu said yes and left happily.

Tossing and turning for a whole day and a night, the pretentious Huang Bingwen was not sleepy at the moment, came to the window, looked up at the rising red sun, as if returning to the past......

On the shore of Yangcheng Lake, a white-clothed boy practiced Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and practiced an amazing skill, but it is a pity that as a child of a tenant family, he is buried in the countryside and never comes out......

The parents worked as cattle and horses for the rich man's family, and raised the boy with hard work, but the family often cut off cooking.

In the autumn of that year, the boy helped his parents go to the rich man's house to pay the rent, but the rich man scolded them without asking any questions, and sent a group of dogs to take away all the surplus food in the house......

The young man couldn't bear it anymore and beat them to the ground, and his parents knew that their son had fallen into a big disaster, so they took out the only one or two pieces of silver and sent him to the ten miles outside the village.

"Son, run for your life."

The young man knelt in front of his parents and begged them to go together, and listened to the old mother say with tears in her eyes: "Son, my father and mother will follow, it can only drag you down, you have to mix it up, and when you become a big official in the future, no one will dare to bully us......"

The young man only hated that he was born in the "peaceful and prosperous era", especially in the relatively wealthy Jiangnan, and it was not easy to be a chivalrous man, let alone join the gang in "Liangshanbo".

So, the boy worked part-time, worked as a porter, worked as a bodyguard, and became a dart master when he was weak......

This career opened his eyes, but it was a pity that he was adrift all the year round and no one proposed to him, but there was a girl in Cuihualou who had a soft spot for him.

The two of them had been drunk and dreamed of death on the banks of the Qinhuai River, owed a lot of silver to Cuihualou, and were humiliated because they were unable to redeem themselves for the girl, and the poor girl was finally thrown into the Qinhuai River......

Only then did the later generations truly realize: only when you are an official can you not be bullied......

In the spring of that year, Housheng escorted into Beijing, took out all his belongings to ask his fellow villagers for help, became a brocade guard, and finally stepped into the officialdom......

The younger students were conscientious and astute, coupled with being able to speak and be good at figuring out people's hearts, starting from the bottom, and were soon promoted to school captain, from school captain to small flag, and then to general flag, 100 households, 100 households, and a pacification envoy......

The higher the official position, the more clear the future life becomes: the world is as black as a crow!

So he returned to his hometown and beheaded the rich man; In the year of not being confused, I seized the opportunity again to include Cuihualou in my bag......

To hell with conscience, faith, and the bottom line of behavior!

The book of sages is even more deceitful!

There is only power, money, desire, no, and godfather Huang Jin, but he doesn't have that desire......

Desire, isn't Hai Rui there? This question made Huang Bingwen puzzled, is there no way to deal with the anomaly of this officialdom?

The bright sun shone in front of the window, and he suddenly felt a little tired......
