Chapter 253: Unexpected
"Wait!" Xu Wenchang riveted all his strength and broke off, and when Bi Maokang was slightly distracted, he stretched out his halberd and fingered, and crackled like a cannon:
"Even if the old man framed you, dozens of people up and down the yamen of Huizhou Mansion heard that the second senior brother of the White Lotus Sect personally identified you as the owner of the nest, signed and painted a confession, and now he has no evidence to prove his death, and the case files, confessions, transcripts and the stolen silver found in your house are as complete as ironclad evidence!
You said that the old man framed him, ahhh β
The magistrate of the county, the Ling Yin who destroyed the family, and the master of Shaoxing, the enemy of the king of Yan, like Xu Wenchang, who was a veteran who worked as a chief copywriter in the governor's military affairs yamen 20 years ago, really played with framing and framing, and made people helpless except for spewing blood.
Like a basin of 10,000-year-old ice and snow poured on his head, Bi Maokang was full of anger and disappeared without a trace, his face was blue and white, white and blue, thinking of being framed by such an old madman for no reason, jumping into the Yellow River and not being able to wash it away, and ruining his whole life in this matter, he couldn't help but tremble, fell to the ground, and said in despair: "Chief Qin is called, he was born later, why do you bother, why do you ...... Xu madman?"
Xu Wen let out a long laugh and rolled his eyes: "My family official ordered the old man to come to solicit him, if you don't do this, how can you obediently comply?" β
Bi Maokang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and secretly collided with Tai Sui this year, and he was killed by this.
Indeed, as Xu Wenchang said, he is a branch of the Huizhou clan, although he is not rich and noble, he also has a worry-free livelihood, and Bi Maoliang and other clan brothers are considering everything that should be studied and earned.
Therefore, even if the governor and the political envoy are invited to be a staff member, Bi Maokang may not be willing, how can he be recruited by the deputy of Jinyi Wei? He is not the old madman Xu Wenchang!
It was Qin Lin who saw Bi Maokang like this, and he didn't want to go first, although Qin Lin was not a good man and a woman, he had never framed innocent people.
"Mr. Bi, this official sent Mr. Xu to Huizhou to recruit you, but he had some heart disease, but he made Mr. suffer, which is really the fault of this official."
Bi Maokang looked up at Qin Lin when he heard this, and sighed for a long time: "The matter has come to this, is there any other way out for Bi?" This thing that forced Liangshan was done by Xu Lao Maniac, and Bi Mou has to thank the chief for telling the truth just now, alas......"
As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Wenchang again, his fingers trembling: "Old madman Xu, I, I have been hurt by you, my family is still young, if there are three long and two short, Bi and you will work hard!" β
Xu Wenchang smiled dryly, slapped his face, and carried in a fragrant rattan sedan chair from the side door, Mrs. Bi walked out of the sedan chair with a pair of children, and was stunned when she saw her husband, and then cried and pounced.
Bi Maokang supported his wife and led his children, and carefully looked at the new thin silk cotton clothes, except for his wife's cheeks emaciated by the memory, and the ignorant children seemed to be a little fatter than when they were at home, so they knew that they did not suffer.
"Lang Jun, what's going on?" Mrs. Bi held her husband's face with both hands and looked at it again: "Did they beat you?" The concubine is sitting at home, and the old man you used to know before came to the door and said that you are going to Nanjing to eat a long-term lawsuit, and the concubine will accompany you to Nanjing to send a meal to the prison, make up clothes for you or something, or the car and boat arranged by Mr. Xu, and live in the upper room of the inn in Nanjing, and the tea and rice supply in Nanjing is diligent, but where can the concubine eat......"
Qin Lin was so uncomfortable, he felt that he was about to become the villain of beating the mandarin ducks, so he stepped forward with a smile and gave a salute: "Sister-in-law, don't blame, it is the official who should not send Mr. Xu to recruit your husband, Mr. Xu has a heart disease, and he actually framed his husband to force him to comply. β
The lady of the Bi family was surprised when she heard this, and looked at Xu Wenchang sitting in the hall inexplicably, and the old madman replied with a strange smile similar to a short circuit of the nerves in her face.
The Bi family couldn't cry or laugh, Xu Wenchang's reputation spread all over Jiangnan, everyone knew that he was crazy, although the two of them suffered a lot, but what can you do with an old man who has lost his heart and gone crazy? I can only lament and consider myself unlucky.
Qin Lin said again: "Although the official is thirsty for talent, he will not use the method of false accusation and framing to force Mr. to submit, we are the Son of Heaven's pro-army Jinyi Guard, not for the Tianxing Dao Liangshanbo, if Mr. wants to go back - Lu Fatzi, take the official's seal letter, write a note and send it to Huizhou Mansion to defend Mr., Niu Dali, and then take three hundred taels of silver and send it to Mr. Bi for the plate fee!" β
The Bi family looked at each other, what else could they do when they went back now? Even if you confess, I am afraid that others will point fingers behind your back, and be arrested by the prefect on the street, and it is the White Lotus Sect's conclusive identification, even if Qin Lin confesses to Huizhou Mansion, the spittle of the people in the city can drown you.
He looked at Xu Wenchang with palpitations, this old madman stroked his beard and shook his strange smile, it was really terrifying, he didn't agree to stay this time, in case he played any tricks next time, would he still be alive?
Helpless, Bi Maokang looked at Qin Lin deeply: "Chief Qin is high-spirited, Bi is very impressed, everything is done by the old madman Xu, and it has nothing to do with Chief Qin, Bi is willing to stay and help, and only ask the chief to clear up his grievances for him, if it is possible in the future...... Alas, forget it. β
Of course, Qin Lin agreed to the request to clear his grievances, and asked what he meant later.
"It's a pity that the chief is a martial artist," Bi Maokang blushed and said in a snort: "The late student has not yet been admitted to the Xiucai ......"
In the Ming Dynasty, the scientific examination should be said to be strict, of course, it was strict, and all the candidates were locked in a small room to eat, drink, and Lazar were in it, and the examiner did not write his name on the paper, and even in order to avoid the examiner from recognizing the handwriting, the township examination and the meeting test should be copied by a special person to copy the papers that the candidates answered, and send the transcript to the examiner for review and circle.
But to say that there is no cheating is also bragging, the superintendent and influential figures in the literary world intercede for the candidates, or the old gentleman sends a message to the protΓ©gΓ© who is the main exam, can the examiners not show favoritism?
Xu Wenchang is famous in Jiangnan, but he is just a show talent all his life, and he has been tested countless times, but he has not been on the list because of bad luck. At that time, Hu Zongxian intended to fulfill him, and told the examiners in each room that he wanted to admit him, but who knew that the last examiner who came late did not instruct him, but he encountered Xu Wenchang's paper, and a red cross hit the pile that was not recorded, and Xu Wenchang fell to Sun Shan again.
In addition to earning money to support their families, there are also factors such as using the power of officials to take the lead in scientific examinations.
However, as soon as Bi Maokang spoke, he secretly regretted that Qin Lin was just a military attache of Jinyiwei, no matter how powerful he was, a civil official who was born on the right path of the imperial examination would not be entrusted by him! I'm really dizzy.
Unexpectedly, Qin Lin agreed without hesitation when he heard this, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Bi Maokang seemed to believe it or not, and thought that Qin Lin was just perfunctory.
Qin Lin invited Bi Maokang to come, mainly to ask him to help design and manufacture a new musket suitable for the use of the Jinyi lieutenant, but at this time he was unkempt and unkempt, and it was not easy to elaborate, so he asked Lu Fatzi to accompany him to bathe and change clothes.
"Haha, Lao Bi, right? The fat man's surname is Lu, his name is Yuanzhi, and he is the confidant brother of my family official," Lu Fatzi patted Bi Maokang's shoulder with a smile and boasted: "My brother has really chosen the right place to vote in my family's official scene!" β
Bi Maokang's face was about to twitch, and he said in his heart that if he wasn't afraid that Old Xu would be crazy again, and he didn't have the face to go back to his hometown in Huizhou, Lao Tzu wouldn't stay.
"Why, don't you believe it?" Lu Yuanzhi frowned, in his mind, Brother Qin was omnipotent at all, if anyone doubted it, he would be against the fat man! Immediately said: "Hmph, don't think that my patriarch is a Jinyi Wei martial artist, do you know, Zhengsipin Gyeonggi Province Zhang Gongyu Zhang Daotai is his brother of the alliance, should be the old man of Tianfu Wang Shizhen Wang and our brother Qin forgot the old man, even the Yuanfu young master Mr. Zhang ......"
The fat man didn't need to continue, because Bi Maokang walked over from the window of the study, and happened to see a piece of paper pressed on the inkstone on the desk under the window, which was the preface of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" inscribed by Zhang Zixuan in the name of his father.
It was like a thunderbolt coming down from the heart of the top door, and Bi Maokang was stunned at that time: it turned out that what this chattering fat man said was true! A Gyeonggi Province who was born from the fifth grade of Jinyi Wei and the deputy Qianhu, who was born in the fourth rank and two rankings, worshiped him in the alliance, and the third rank Ying Tianfu Yin, the leader of the literary league and made friends with him, and even Zhang Juzheng, the young master of Yuanfu who was in charge of the dynasty, exchanged letters with him, what is the origin of this person?
Such a ruthless official, don't say that you can get a show for you, even if you raise people! What's more, if you can go through Zhang Juzheng's door, even Jinshi will only be able to explore and take things.
Bi Maokang's footsteps suddenly became brisk, his face was no longer dark, and he talked to Lu Fatzi without a match, and there was a faint joy of "blessing in disguise" in his heart.
In the hall over there, although Qin Lin felt that Xu Wenchang was acting absurdly, after all, he was loyal to doing things for himself, so he told him the medicine for treating madness: he had obtained evidence from Jin Yingji and handed it to Zhang Juzheng, and one of the contents of the negotiation with Zhang Juzheng was to punish Wang Ben Guming, who had brought disaster to the country and the people!
When Xu Wenchang heard the name Wang Bengu, the corners of his eyes twitched and his mouth was crooked, as if he had been greatly stimulated, Qin Lin hurriedly fed him tea, and it took a while to calm down, but he was not ecstatic as expected, but said lightly: "You can't live for your own sin, Wang Bengu will have evil retribution, and don't care about him, the old man thinks that the chief is missing another thing now." β
Qin Lin raised his eyebrows, secretly wondering why Xu Wenchang didn't have the expected reaction, and what was the thing he said was missing?
