Chapter 42 Entrusted with the Book

Zhang Zongwen's heavy flail and shackles were removed from the court, and he was changed from a death row prisoner to a pending trial, and the officials took him to an ordinary prison. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When others entered the prison, they all cried and cried for their mother, but Zhang Zongwen couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that tears flowed. I didn't expect that I didn't go to the guillotine after being on death row, and I didn't expect that there would be a chance for a retrial.

Zhang Li returned to Zhang's house under the escort of two officials, and the Zhang family only had a large brass lock to guard the door. When he returned home, Zhang Li learned that his mother-in-law had been imprisoned.

Since then, Zhang Li has carried two food boxes to visit the prison every day, not only to deliver food to her husband but also to her mother-in-law. It's okay to send food to her husband, Zhang Zongwen can always say hard work to her and say a few warm words.

Zhang Li told Zhang Zongwen that she met Chen Siwei at the cemetery, and it was Chen Siwei who came to help him overturn the case. Zhang Zongwen told her to be careful at home and not to go to her mother-in-law's room if she had nothing to do.

Zhang Li was silent for a long time, and finally told him about his mother-in-law's imprisonment. Zhang Zongwen asked, "What is the charge?" ”

The lawsuit has not yet been formally tried and has not been formally sentenced, so there is no precise charge yet, and the reason for the imprisonment is only the suspicion of fornication.

Zhang Zongwen was silent when he heard this, and Zhang Li comforted him and said: "Our county master is so upright that he will not wronged a good person, if you want to chase the wind and catch the shadows, the county master will find out, who in the village doesn't know that our mother is strong?" ”

Zhang Zongwen shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not groundless, why did you want our mother to put me to death?" ”

Zhang Li shook her head blankly, she really wanted to break her head and didn't figure it out. Zhang Zongwen is a well-known filial son, and she is also obedient to her mother-in-law, who suddenly sued them for some reason.

"Just because one day after midnight I heard someone in our mother's room, I broke in, although I didn't see anyone, but I saw a pair of men's shoes under the bed, my mother said that it was a new shoe made for me, and the next day she said that the shoes were made bigger and she cut them." Zhang Zongwen bowed his head and sighed.

"I thought I wouldn't mention it, but I just passed it if I didn't bump into it, but in less than ten days, my mother sued me to the official."

It only took Chen Siwei half a day to get this public case clear, and now Zhang Zongwen's case has made new progress, and it fully meets the conditions for a retrial.

Chen Siwei had no intention of staying here for a long time, and now that the matter was done, he said goodbye to the Hening County Order and prepared to continue on the road. Although he didn't know where he was going, he knew that the place he wanted to go was far away.

A place far away from the capital, Chen Siwei never wanted to return to the capital again, and he never wanted to see the waiting master in the Hou Mansion again. Especially the case of Zhang Zongwen was cleared, which made him feel cold.

Zhang Liu's fornication with a Taoist priest, killing her husband, harming her son, and chasing her daughter-in-law, Chen Siwei can't see the warmth of family affection, is there really such a thing as family affection in this world? I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't have any relatives anyway.

The county commander of Hening didn't expect Chen Siwei to leave that day, so he tried his best to keep Chen Siwei. "Chen Gongzi, why are you in such a hurry? The official didn't dare to force him to stay, but he begged his son to stay for three days, so that I could do my best to be a landlord. ”

"The county lord doesn't have to be like this, it's common for life to gather and disperse. There is still a day when the mountains and rivers meet, and you and I will have a period in the future. Chen Siwei arched his hand, turned around and left, he didn't have any friendship with him, just a polite word.

However, people who have lived in officialdom for a long time are extremely nervous. sense, you can analyze a random word, a word, he can analyze the water.

What do you mean by 'you and I will have a fixed period in the future?' That is to say, he is now going back to the capital to report to Xiangye or even to the emperor? Doesn't the so-called post-meeting mean that the Hening County Order will be transferred to the capital for trial?

Chen Siwei said that he would go, and it was an attitude to walk so neatly and clearly. The matter has been investigated clearly, and it can be confirmed that the Hening County Decree is not clear about the officials, and the investigation is not detailed, even if he is not convicted, he will not escape the word 'faint (pronounced kuì)'.

The Hening County Commander trotted forward and grabbed Chen Siwei's sleeve, Chen Siwei was simply frightened by him, is this an adult who is an official? Is it so rude for someone to wear a black veil?

Chen Siwei withdrew his hand and asked with a little surprise, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

The Hening County Commander opened his mouth and smiled first: "Chen Gongzi, I didn't greet you when you came, if you go, let me set up a banquet for you to see you off, otherwise, the teacher will definitely blame me for being contemptuous." ”

Chen Siwei said goodbye to him, but he was not about to leave Hening County. He was just going to the inn to rest, it was almost dusk, and it was no longer suitable for him to hurry.

Seeing him so gracious, Chen Siwei was secretly amused in his heart, and he suddenly remembered a sentence he used to say in his previous life: 'There is no contradiction that cannot be solved by one drink, and if there is, it will be two.' It seems that the tradition of solving problems at the wine table is ancient.

Chen Siwei said with a smile: "There's no need to set up a banquet, I'll stay in the mansion overnight tonight, and it's the same if I leave tomorrow morning." ”

The commander of Hening County was overjoyed when he heard this, and he pulled Chen Siwei extremely enthusiastically, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare wine and a banquet, but Chen Siwei didn't like to be extravagant, and said that he didn't ask others to come over to accompany him.

Chen Siwei asked Xu Ping to go to the inn to bring his things, and the Hening County Commander hurriedly sent two officials to accompany him. I didn't expect their things to be just a burden.

In addition to the green cloth clothes, even the hard ones can't be eaten. Looking at these things, if it weren't for Gao Xiangye's fan, if it weren't for the clever calculation of Chen Siwei's case, the Hening County Order would directly suspect that they were charlatans.

"Chen Gongzi, are you going out to secretly visit the people?" The county commander of Hening half-jokingly inquired about Chen Siwei's situation.

"I'm wandering around and homeless." Chen Siwei laughed, Xu Ping only felt a sad taste, and Hening County Ling only felt that this half-sized boy was very slippery, and it was really difficult to talk to him.

Chen Siwei suddenly asked, "I wonder if the adults are going to the capital recently?" ”

"Of course, I'll visit my teacher tomorrow." If the Hening County Commander didn't know, he already knew that Gao Jingyuan had returned to Beijing, so how could he not go to visit? This is also an opportunity to take the door, if you don't take the initiative in everything, how can you take the lead?

"In that case, I have a reluctant request, I wonder if you can pass on a few words to an old friend for me?"

"As long as I can find it, there is no problem, I don't know who Chen Gongzi's old friend is?"

"It's Bai Jingchen, Xiangye's student."

"Okay." Hening County Ling nodded slightly, and secretly wondered in his heart, "Isn't there only one student Xiangye?" I heard that it is the little prince Chengping Wangye, where is Bai Jingchen? ’。 "There is no basis for what you say, Chen Gongzi might as well write a letter and I will hand it over."

"It's fine." Chen Siwei moved to the bookcase, picked up the pen and wrote down a poem, and when the handwriting was dry, folded it and handed it to the Hening County Order. "Annoying, please."
