Chapter Thirty-Eight: Song Abbot

It is said that Du Zixin, the chief housekeeper, has seen the scene of the yamen's ascension. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Liang Yuxi was dragged down, he hurried back to his house.

As soon as he entered, he went straight to the backyard. When I arrived at the back hall, I saw that the eldest lady and the young lady were waiting anxiously, so I hurriedly stepped forward to return to the eldest lady. I talked about the section on the trial and punishment in the court. The eldest lady and the young lady sighed as they listened.

After Du Zixin finished speaking, the eldest lady sighed and said: "Yu Xi'er, I don't know how much suffering we have suffered in the past few days, we haven't seen it." Today, when he suffers this sin, he still has the spirit of a great husband, I really didn't misunderstand him. ”

Zhao Yueniang looked at Du Zixin again and said: "After the trial of the county master, Yuxi seems to be more auspicious. In the past two days, the old man's illness has also been committed, and he is very confused. Big housekeeper, you also want to think of an idea, see how to dredge this case? Is there any other way? ”

Du Zixin thought for a while and said: "Auntie, I heard people say that the county master, if he finds the right person to introduce him, he can also be accommodating." It's just that this mansion has always had very little contact with the people of the yamen, and it will be difficult to find it for a while. Otherwise, I'll ask around the street and see if I can find a way to dredge it. ”

The eldest lady said to Du Zixin: "That's the only way, you find a few more people to inquire, and let the shopkeepers on the counter pay attention to see if you can find someone to go to the county government to do something." Also, see if you can go into this prison, and if you can be accommodating, I will go to see Yuxi. ”

Du Zixin was stunned: "Auntie, this can't be helped, when this prison can be accommodated, naturally I will go, how can I bother Auntie." ”

"You stop me, I want to see him, I haven't seen him for a long time, he has fallen into such a situation for the affairs of the house, the master can't go to see it, I must go and see it."

Du Zixin Jue was very surprised that Aunt went to the prison so much, and still persuaded: "Auntie, if you have this heart, then Liang Yuxi is already grateful." If the prison is such a pickled place, I will definitely bring it to the aunt. ”

"You are not verbose, I have an idea about this matter, you go and inquire around."

Du Zixin saw that the eldest lady was a little angry, so he bowed his head and went out.

Dong Lujue asked his mother: "Mother, why do you insist on going to the prison to see Liang Yuxi?" ”

The eldest lady looked at the maids on the left and right and said, "Son, you don't understand, this Liang Yuxi still has your father's trust." Saving him is just as important as seeing him. Your father is sick again, why don't you go if I don't go? ”

"Of course the child can go, this Yuxi is my life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for him, I might have thrown myself into Qinghe. If my father and mother can't save him this time, I'm thinking about how to go to prison to visit him. ”

"How can you come up with such a thing from a girl's family? Aren't you afraid of that dark place, like the eighteenth floor of hell? ”

"The boy is also afraid, but since he saved me, I haven't said a word of thanks to him. If his time is short, I will not thank him, and my heart will not be at ease. ”

"Okay, okay, this is not a joke, you wait for him to come out, it's not too late to talk about it."

"Mother, this is to me, he doesn't know if he can't come out. When did you and your father teach your children like this, you have to know how to repay your kindness, why can't I go and see them? ”

"Nonsense, don't you think your mother is urging everything outside of here? My mother may not be able to see him. You go down first. Zhao Yueniang was really a little distraught, and she only thought that her daughter's noisy yelling was just nonsense.

Dong Lu Jue pouted and walked out of the back hall, just when Du Zixin was about to go out. He saw that Miss was unhappy, so he stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" Who messed with you? I'll go back and clean him up. ”

Dong Lujue said: "I was scolded by my mother, how can you clean it up?" ”

"Oh, that's probably because you're disobedient, Miss should rest early."

"Why am I disobedient, it's all my mother's fear, I just want to go to the prison to investigate, so she scolded me."

"Miss, that can't be done, the old slave won't agree, you rest, I'll go out."

This Du Zixin saw that the wind and sand outside the door were also small, so he carried a lantern and went to Zijin Lane on North Street after going out. Except for the dim light from the windows facing the street, there were almost no people on the street, and it was quite a quick walk. After a short time, he came to a small courtyard, and he still looked around vigilantly, and when he was sure that there was no one, he went to lock the courtyard door.

After a while, the people in the courtyard asked, "Who?" Du Zixin said: "Me! ”

The door of the courtyard opened with a babble, and the person who came to open the door was Song Debao - Song Abbot, the land dragon.

Song Debao saw that it was him, so he let him into the courtyard, and the two entered the side room. After holding the lamp, Song Debao asked: "Lao Du, you are still looking out this day, what is your urgent matter?" ”

"Well, you know about Liang Yu's overjoy."

"I know that the people in the yamen are saying that he has passed the court today, and tomorrow he will be sentenced to be executed. The county magistrate was angry with him. This kid didn't see it, and he still had some hard bones. ”

"Auntie is in a hurry somehow, let me find someone to help."

Song Debao smiled: "Haha, you can't take the silver sent to the door?" No wonder you have to go out so late, there is such a good thing. ”

"It's natural to take some silver, I don't understand, how can the lord and the aunt be so concerned about this kid? Last time, when he went out of the city, I asked you to stop him and touch his bottom, but you also let him go, and you didn't touch anything......"

"It's all a few bad skins who are too careless, so I know that this kid is still sideways. It's just, what can you touch on this half-sized child? ”

"You don't know this, the lord trusts this kid very much, and it can be said that the lord relies on him very much. Today, the eldest lady also said that she would go to the prison to visit him. I tightened my grip on two sentences, and she was annoyed. I think there are some articles in this, not like a general thing. ”

"Your dude is too delicate. Tell me about the silver first, and see how you can get more of it? ”

"In this way, there is not much time at this time, and if it is to be decided tomorrow, it will be too late. Now, when the house is in a hurry to go to the doctor, you come with me and go directly to the house to see the eldest mother. Let's just say that your father-in-law is the county lieutenant, see if you can set up a way to make the county magistrate change his mind. The eldest lady can only believe you at this time, but after this incident, the good things in Donglu Mansion will no longer be your turn......"

"As long as she believes me, she will cheat a few hundred gold first, and then talk about it, and then that's a later story."

"Well, you still have to answer her first, and you can take her to prison tonight. I thought that after taking her in, she would definitely not want me to go with her, and even if I did, she wouldn't let me listen to what they had to say...... It was a very important matter, and we had to try to hear what they had to say. Do you have a good idea? ”

"Then how about you go directly to the prison to see Liang Yuxi?"

"This kid is very good, he won't tell me anything."

"That'...... Do you think you can get it? ”

"I'll give it a try...... Du Zixin asked Song Debao to come over, and the two whispered for a while.

Both of them changed into dusty gauze hats and went out. Although the wind and sand are a little smaller, and there is some faint moonlight in the sky, the yellow dust still has not receded. Everywhere is covered with yellow sand, as if the world has changed.

Entering Donglu Mansion, Du Zixin pretended to lead the way in front and respectfully introduced Song Debao to the back hall. The eldest lady was in the backyard, and she also saw the two of them coming into the backyard.

Du Zixin asked Song Debao to wait in the courtyard first, and went in to tell the eldest mother, saying that it happened that Song Zhisi, the son-in-law of the county lieutenant Qin, had a heart, and was about to come to the house to deliver a message.

Du Zixin was afraid that the eldest lady would hesitate, and said: "This Song Zhisi said along the way that the people in the yamen are spreading, and Liang Yuxi may be beheaded in the next few days." If you don't do it tonight, it may be late tomorrow, and there will be no way. He can now arrange for someone to go to prison tonight, and Liang Yuxi will be in for a while. ”

The eldest lady sighed and said, "It's inconvenient for my woman to see Song Zhusi, do you think he can get the county master?" ”

"I heard people on the street say that he is a very righteous person and is willing to help the needy. His father-in-law is the county lieutenant Qin, and he himself listens to errands in the yamen. I think he must have some way. ”

"And how much silver does he need to do this up and down?"

"I've probed him, this death row prisoner is the most difficult to get out of prison, and it's not impossible if you are willing to spend money, but you need five hundred gold."

When the eldest lady heard that this amount was not small, she said, "Okay, you will ask someone to take five hundred gold in a while." Don't be lazy with this Song Abbot, so you are greeting. I'm going to change my clothes, and you tell me to prepare some food in the back, and I'm going to go to prison tonight." ”

Du Zixin said: "Auntie is busy first, I and Song Zhusi are going to go to the prison first, and after the work is done, I will call someone to come over and invite you later." The eldest lady thought about it, so she nodded and asked him to go first.
