Chapter 360: Zhang Rui's Experience (Part II)
Ten years of hard study in order to be able to be named on the gold list once, but unfortunately only a few people can be on the list, ninety percent of the lifters can only fall off the list, although the people who fall off the list have long been psychologically prepared, but when they really hold their own list, their hearts will still be very uncomfortable, and even many people will cry on the spot.
Zhang Rui didn't cry bitterly, but he took his friends Zhang Yu and Tong Qing, who also failed to make the list, to drink, originally the three of them used to drink some casually in the inn, and then go back to sleep, so that when they woke up the next day, they would not delay their studies. But now that the exam is over, although there is still a palace exam, it has nothing to do with them, so they don't read the book anymore, and they are in a bad mood, so the three of them ran out of the hall to drink.
After all, people have waited for several years to wait for this opportunity, but the most unfortunate is that the bamboo basket is empty, and the mood must be bad, so it is naturally easier to get drunk under the sorrow of wine.
Zhang Rui pulled Zhang Yu and Tong Qing to drink, he was not short of money, after all, Baifu was a famous rich man in Nanjing, and Zhang Rui also brought enough silver when he came out, so Zhang Rui was ready to go to the best restaurant to call the strongest wine, and then get drunk with two friends. But halfway through, Zhang Yu proposed that instead of going to the restaurant, it would be better to go to the Qinglou for a turn, after all, they had been in the capital for so long, they had been staying in the inn to study behind closed doors, and now they didn't pass the exam, and they were very depressed, so it was better to have fun in the Qinglou.
Zhang Chu's proposal was immediately approved by Tong Qing, and Zhang Rui felt that he was sorry for his wife to go to the Qinglou, so he resolutely opposed it at first. But then he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the two friends. In addition, I was really in a bad mood after falling off the list. It was as if there was an evil fire in his heart, and he wanted to vent but couldn't vent it, so Zhang Rui still didn't hold back the persuasion of the two friends, and finally decided to go to the Qinglou with them for a spin, maybe he could vent the evil fire in his chest with the help of the gentleness of those women.
In fact, Zhang Rui also knew that he was making excuses for himself, and falling off the list hit him hard, and he even had a kind of self-depraved idea in his heart, so he agreed to Zhang Yu and Tong Qing. Go to the Qinglou that I used to disdain to vent.
In addition to these things are very expensive and enough to make people bankrupt, there is also a common characteristic, that is, it can make people addicted, but smoking big cigarettes is addictive from both physical and psychological aspects, and the first four are addictive from the psychological aspect, so it is very easy to ignore.
Zhang Rui's family has been poor since he was a child, and in order to change his fate, he usually reads in addition to reading. So I didn't have the opportunity to enter a place like the Qinglou at all, and I didn't know the harm of the Qinglou in Ludao. Later, with Zhang Yu and Tong Qing, they came to the largest green building in the capital, and then called a few good-looking women to accompany the wine, and the last three of them were all drunk, and as for what happened after getting drunk, it happened naturally.
When Zhang Rui woke up the next day, there was still a naked prostitute lying beside him, recalling the night of love last night, so that Zhang Rui suddenly had a feeling that the first half of his life had been wasted, but when he thought of his wife at home, there was a sense of guilt in his heart, and when he returned to the inn and saw the old servant who came with him, he was even more guilty, after all, this old servant was the person from Baifu, who had served Master Bai for many years, and also watched Bai Junwan grow up. Zhang Rui felt that he was really sorry for his wife.
However, after the first time of prostitution, it was equivalent to opening a hole in a strong embankment, which could not be blocked if you wanted to, and Zhang Rui finally came to the capital once, and he would not leave immediately, so under the instigation of Zhang Alcohol and Tong Qing, there was soon a second and third ......, and every time he paid for it, after all, Zhang Alcohol and Tong Qing's family background is not particularly good, and it is even more different from Baifu.
Zhang Rui fell, and the blow of falling off the list and the temptation of the life of dogs and horses made Zhang Rui slowly lose his nature, and lingered with two friends in the Qinglou Tile House every day, not only forgetting the matter of studying, but also forgetting his wife who was waiting for him at home.
The old servant who came with Zhang Rui is named Bai Fu, he is the former scholar of Master Bai, and he can be said to be loyal to the Bai family, originally he was very disappointed after his aunt of his own family fell off the list, but he also read a few books with Master Bai before, and he knew how difficult the imperial examination was, so he also understood Zhang Rui's mood very well, when Zhang Rui borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, he did not dissuade him, Zhang Rui spent money on treats in his opinion, it is normal for him to spend money, after all, it is good for his uncle to make a few friends who are scholars, and spending some money is nothing at all.
However, Bai Fu slowly discovered that his aunt went to a place like Qinglou in addition to drinking, which made him very unhappy, after all, Zhang Rui was also the uncle of Baifu, and now all the food and clothing are borne by Baifu, but Zhang Rui married his own lady, not to mention, and now he actually uses Baifu's money to prostitute himself, which is a bit unspeakable.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Fu began to persuade Zhang Rui openly and secretly, but unfortunately Zhang Rui had fallen into the gentle township at that time and could not extricate himself, and he did not listen to Bai Fu's persuasion at all.
One day Zhang Rui had no money in his hand, and asked Bai Fu for it, but the other party didn't give it, Zhang Rui suddenly remembered that he was just the son-in-law of Baifu, which made him ashamed and angry.
Originally, Zhang Rui was very annoyed with Bai Fu, and at this time he was drunk, so he asked Bai Fu for money on the road, but Bai Fu stiffened his neck and just didn't give it. After all, Bai Fu was a subordinate, so he didn't dare to fight back at all, and he was pushed by Zhang Rui after the most reluctance, but his head hit the corner of the wall, and a lot of blood was shed at once, plus he was not young, but he died all of a sudden.
Seeing Bai Fu bleeding, Zhang Rui's wine also woke up all of a sudden, reached out and touched his pulse, only to find that even the pulse was gone, which made Zhang Rui and them panic all of a sudden, although Bai Fu was a servant, but after all, they killed someone, if they let the government know the way, even if they don't die, don't want to keep their fame.
Therefore, Zhang Yu, who was still relatively old, suggested that it was better to simply pull Bai Fu to the mass grave outside the city and bury him, anyway, Bai Fu was Zhang Rui's servant, and this was not Nanjing, as long as Zhang Rui did not report the case, no one would investigate.
At that time, Zhang Rui's mind was also in a mess, he didn't have any opinions at all, after hearing Zhang Yu's words, he and Tong Qing did not object, they prepared their carriage at the moment, and then threw Bai Fu's body on the car, and when the city gate opened at dawn, they immediately threw the corpse to the mass grave outside, anyway, there were many nameless corpses there, and no one cared about it at all.
After disposing of Bai Fu's body, Zhang Rui thought that this matter was over, as for how to explain it after going back, it was not a difficult matter, anyway, Bai Fu was so old, and it was not easy to walk on the road, when he made up a lie, saying that Bai Fu died of accident or illness, no one would doubt it.
But what Zhang Rui never expected was that his two friends Zhang Yu and Tong Qing were not good people, through this period of communication, they already knew the details of Zhang Rui, and knew that Zhang Rui was into the White Mansion, if Zhang Rui was asked for money because of prostitution, then Zhang Rui would not want to gain a foothold in the White Mansion.
It is also Zhilu Dao's point, plus Zhang Yu and Tong Qing's family background is not particularly good, during this period of prostitution and drinking, Zhang Rui also paid for it, so they discussed it one by one, and even began to use Bai Fu's death to blackmail Zhang Rui, the purpose is nothing more than asking for money, after all, who made Zhang Rui so lucky, not only married a wife like a flower, but also had Wanguan family wealth to inherit, if Zhang Rui didn't give it, then they would tell the Bai family the reason for Bai Fu's death, and they would also attribute Bai Fu's death to Zhang Rui. Anyway, there were only the three of them at that time, and now that Zhang Yu has uniformly identified Zhang Rui as killing Bai Fu, they are not afraid even if they are officials.
Zhang Rui was naturally very angry about Zhang Alcohol and Tong Qing's villain behavior, he was so old and it was the first time he had met such a shameless person, and he was also very afraid that Zhang Alcohol and Tong Qing would really tell Bai Fu the cause of death to his family, when he thought of his wife, who was full of confidence in him, after knowing this, he trembled with fear, because he really loved Bai Junwan, although he was addicted to prostitution before, but it was only carnal desire, there was no emotion at all, in his heart Bai Junwan was still the most loved person in his life, So he didn't want his wife to have any bad impression of him.
It was also under this fear that Zhang Rui finally made another wrong decision, that is, to kill people and kill people. In fact, this decision is not wrong, after all, Zhang Rui is also a smart person, he knows that even if he meets the requirements of Zhang Yu and the others this time, the other party will definitely get an inch, and he will definitely make more excessive demands again and again in the future, until he is squeezed dry.
So Zhang Rui first pretended to agree to Zhang Alcohol and Tong Qing's request, and after stabilizing each other, he then told Zhang Alcohol that the two had decided to go back early to get money for them, which made Zhang Alcohol and Tong Qing very happy, and even offered to send Zhang Rui out of the city, but unfortunately what they didn't know was that this delivery also cost them their lives.
