No. 054 Beat the gong and drum to go to the government
Ma Liu was stirred up by Cai Dao's words, but Wang Er understood the meaning of his words. Not surprisingly, the two of them may become Cai Jing's henchmen in the future. At the same time, you can also report to the nursery school, but before that, you must report it to Cai Jing.
A proper double agent.
"Lord Steward, I don't know if I know if I should say a word about the little one?" Ma Liu was confused in his heart, but seeing that Wang Er had no objections, he no longer struggled with the future future, but he still had a question in his heart.
Wang Eryou's eyes glared at Ma Liu, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
"It doesn't matter! You said! Cai Dao didn't think it was a pestle at all, he was a person after all, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions, and it would be good for someone to remind him, there was a lack of such a role around him now.
Cai Bucket's reaction is a little slow, Cai Ban is too young, his vision and experience are too small, Hua Qian has been in the market for so many years, but he is essentially a reckless man, even if he lets him kill people, he doesn't frown, so it's better to let him kill people than to let him make an idea?
"My lord, what are you going to do, whether you can accept the ticket of the judgment or not, and also, we just came from the yamen, and I heard that Zheng Heihu woke up, and I am sure that it was you who did it. Does he have something to rely on? ”
Not to mention, Wang Er is really a little impressed by this little brother today. These two questions were actually what he wanted to ask, but he had just played a trick and was a little afraid to speak.
"Hmmm! I'll definitely take the ticket, but not today, it's already afternoon. What if the general sentence deliberately makes it difficult for me and locks me up first? It's better to escort me to Kaifeng Mansion with great fanfare early tomorrow morning. As for Zheng Heihu, you don't have to worry! Alright, Fara, you want to settle the two of them! Tomorrow will tell. ”
After Cai Dao finished speaking, he motioned for Hua Xianqi to take them out. As soon as they arrived at the door of the study, Cai Dao suddenly ordered again: "Wang Er, my letter will be handed over to Lord Yin tonight, and if he wants to ask, he will say that his old man should go out more and inspect the people's situation." Big flower, after the arrangement, you come over again. ”
"No! The little one understands! ”
“……”
Hua Xuanyi, Wang Er, and Ma Liu replied at the same time.
After Hua Xianqi made arrangements, he came to Cai Dao's study, and only then did he know the reason why the manager asked him to come back.
First, let him tell his brothers to do an important thing.
Second, it is to tell him how to deal with the interrogation of the government after he goes to court tomorrow.
Although Cai Dao's name is written on the capture ticket, if he can't catch him tomorrow, then the general judge will definitely find a way to find a breakthrough in Hua Xuanyi.
It's just that Cai Dao arranged everything properly before, and even if Hua Xianqi was on the Tang Dynasty, he basically told the truth. However, Cai Dao repeatedly instructed Hua Qianqi not to say superfluous nonsense, especially when he saw Zheng Heihu, he must control his emotions, he was already a dead tiger, and he couldn't be angry for him at all!
Although Hua Qiqi agreed very well, Cai Dao was still a little uneasy.
But tomorrow we'll find out.
……
Nothing was said all night.
Cai Dao rarely got up early, of course, this is for himself, he doesn't sleep until midnight (equivalent to 9-11 o'clock) every day, he specially instructed Xiao Mi to wake him up three quarters of an hour earlier today.
After packing everything up and not far from the time, Cai Dao took a group of subordinates, sitting in his specially made pony Chen, and slowly marched towards the Kaifeng Mansion.
As mentioned above, in the later Genyue, that is, the northeast corner of the imperial city, in order to reach the Kaifeng Mansion, you must bypass the Imperial City, turn into the widest royal street in Bianliang City, and go south to reach the Mansion.
Half a mile away from the south gate of the Imperial City, Cai Dao asked Xiao Miao to stop the carriage. He got out of the carriage, put on his oldest set of robes, and asked Wang Er and Ma Liu to put shackles on themselves, this thing weighed more than ten pounds, except for Cai Bucket and himself, replaced by any child, let alone walking, he couldn't even lift it.
Except for Cai Dao himself, all the people around him opposed his idea.
Cai Dao naturally did not ask for hardship, but had three purposes.
This is to make a show for the bigwigs in the whole Bianliang City. Although I am a Taoist priest and I am also favored by Song Shenzong, I am still very law-abiding.
Let the people of Bianliang City also see how the general judgment of Kaifeng Mansion treats such a little child as himself.
The bigger this case gets, the better it is for his own reputation and for his own safety. At the very least, if there is any case involving them next time, any yamen must seriously weigh the consequences of arresting him.
The streets and alleys on both sides of the Royal Street are naturally prosperous, Wang Er and Ma Liu are in front with bitter faces, and Cai Dao is pressed by them with shackles in the back, and marches along the Royal Street towards the Kaifeng Mansion.
Bell bell, knock knock!
Behind the three of them, Xiao Confused was still driving the carriage, Cai Xiaoya sat next to the position of the carriage driver, her hands struck the gong vigorously, and Cai Tong beat a medium-sized cowhide drum on the horse.
"The father and fellow villagers of Bianliang City, the little child who was escorted by the officials of Kaifeng Mansion in front of him, he is the one who Uncle Cao Guo personally held the ordination ceremony for him, I think everyone has heard of it." Cai Ban was not idle, he held a small trumpet made of copper in his hand, and said loudly in his voice.
Afraid that others would be small and their voices would not spread widely, Hua Qianqi and their brothers carried waist drums one by one, and while beating, they repeated what Cai Ban said.
Obviously, he went to the Kaifeng Mansion to be tried, and it was almost like the ceremony of sending off relatives, and the scene was indescribably weird.
If you don't see the excitement, it will never happen in the land of China.
The two hobbies and skills of being lively and watching have been passed down by the Chinese people for thousands of years, and have been carried forward by countless melon-eating people in later generations.
"Naturally, I've heard of it, and I've heard that it's the second son of a woman!" Passerby A thought he knew everything, but he was a flat-headed commoner, and he couldn't even tell Cai Bian's official position.
"That's right! I heard that the current Fu Yin of Kaifeng Mansion is his own uncle, a little doll, why did he take him up in a good manner? Even if you kill your relatives in righteousness, you won't bring such heavy shackles to that child, right? "An aunt is free today, taking her little grandson around the neighborhood, and is trying to buy some snacks at the food stall next to her to satisfy her little grandson's hunger, seeing Cai Dao suffering so much, and then looked at the little grandson in her arms, empathizes, and said with some sympathy.
"Humph! Ignorant women and children, this kid is a bold thief, and he has already scolded the official family twice in the main hall! This must be the official family's will, ready to be beheaded at noon! It was a noble son who spoke, but Da Lengtian was holding a folding fan in his hand, reprimanding this and that aunt, and his disdain was overflowing.
