After knowing that the person who came was a eunuch and didn't take Jinyiwei in his eyes, Wu Jie realized the seriousness of the problem. Factory Guard, Factory Guard, East Factory and Jinyi Wei are originally equal-level institutions, and they have no intersection with each other, but because they are all the emperor's henchmen, they will give each other a little face.

If this person can say such a thing, his status in the palace must not be low.

Eunuch Huang didn't want to identify himself directly, and there was no point in asking any more.

Since this person is a person in the officialdom, he will naturally act according to the rules, Wu Jieben is a scholar with a lot of merit and fame, no matter what the other party does, he always has some consideration, at least he will not be like an ordinary kidnapper, who will tear up the ticket when he says it. At least there is no danger to his surname for the time being, as long as he pretends not to know their identity.

There is a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I can't worry so much.

Thinking of this, Wu Jiesuo relaxed his body, pretending not to see the origin of Eunuch Huang, and chatted with him. While looking for something to talk about, he silently memorizes the road he came from.

This silent memory was taken aback, and the carriage set off from the east of Yanjing City and ran all the way to the northwest for about four minutes.

If you run again, you will have to run to the Imperial City.

Eunuch Huang saw Wu Jie's casual and chic, and praised him in his heart, but this kid was calm.

In fact, when Wu Jie pretended to look at the curtains intentionally or unintentionally just now, Eunuch Huang already knew that he was peeking at his appearance, and he didn't reveal it.

Listening to Wu Jie chatting casually with himself, the old eunuch said that he was interested.

Eunuch Huang has a special status in the palace, and no one is close to him, and he is trembling when he speaks, for fear of saying the wrong thing and making him unhappy.

In this case, although Eunuch Huang is also proud of his power in his heart. But after decades, I got a little bored. As for the foreign officials, they have a different attitude towards the palace attendants, and there are those who despise them and those who dislike them.

It's the first time that Wu Jie has just treated him as an ordinary old man, but his heart is a little fresh.

Moreover, Wu Jie's speech and demeanor are elegant and interesting, and there are strange theories in his mouth, which are absolutely ridiculous when he listens to them suddenly, but if you think about it carefully, it has a deep meaning and is refreshing.

What's more interesting is that Wu Jie can't help but casually chant a sentence of five or seven words when he speaks, every word and sentence is wonderful, and you can write a wonderful poem according to this sentence. For example, "a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot", "go to the poor place of water, sit and watch the clouds rise." ”

Eunuch Huang has been studying in the inner study hall since he was six years old, and the teachers are at least Hanlin bachelors, if they are lay people, to participate in the imperial examination, it is easy to be a Jinshi, and they are all knowledgeable, even if they are in Yanjing City, they are considered to be among the best, how can they not hear the benefits.

After saying a few words, Eunuch Huang couldn't help but praise in his heart, feeling as if he was communicating with an old friend who had been friends for many years, and suddenly had a lot of affection for Wu Jie.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Huang was stunned, and his expression became stern: "Wu Jie, I am a kidnapper, you are a meat ticket, aren't you afraid?" I just want to talk and laugh with someone, do you have any other thoughts? ”

"Oh, Mr. Huang, have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?"

"What's the diagnosis?" Eunuch Huang was a little dazed, he was also a well-educated person who had read more than 10,000 books, but he had really never heard of this thing.

"It's just ......" Wu Jie paused and explained: "This syndrome refers to a complex in which the victim of a crime has feelings for the offender, and even helps the offender in turn. This emotion causes the victim to develop a favorable impression of the perpetrator, a sense of dependence, and even assistance in inflicting harm on others. ”

Seeing that Eunuch Huang still didn't understand, Wu Jie carefully explained the different psychological reactions of each stage after the hostages were taken by bandits.

He also has nothing to say now, to see if he can find anything from Eunuch Huang's mouth.

Hearing Wu Jie say this, Eunuch Huang suddenly realized, touched his chin, and sighed: "I can't imagine that there are so many exquisiteness here, Wu Jie, you really eat people's hearts thoroughly, I don't know, I think you are an old official who has worked in the public gate for many years!" ”

His heart moved, and he could see that Wu Jie knew a lot about prison, and he had been in charge of Dongchang for many years, so he could be regarded as an expert, so he might as well communicate with him, so he continued to ask: "Wu Jie, you go on, anyway, there is nothing to do all the way, pass some time." You see what loopholes I have tied you up? ”

"It's easy to tie up a person, as long as there are enough people and the timing is good, even if it is a first-class person, if you say that you tie it, you will tie it, besides, I am still a poor talent, old man, there is no flaw in your arrangement. But as we all know, it is not difficult to tie up people and it is difficult to get money -- the former is that you have the intention to calculate the other person's unintention, and the latter is that the other party has the intention to calculate whether you have the intention or not. Despite all the 120,000 efforts, many kidnappers were arrested and dumplings were made by the officials when they received the ransom. ”

"My brother had heard of a safe approach: the kidnappers first appointed the hostages' families and carried a package containing the ransom, preferably with obvious features, such as bright red or yellow. Take a horse-drawn carriage along the banks of a river. At this point, the kidnappers will come down the river in a boat and ask the hostages' families to throw the ransom money onto the boat. Even if there is a head catcher following the hostage's family, the possibility of jumping out of the car and going into the water to chase the bandits at this time is about zero. The bandits could have fled by boat. ”

Wu Jie continued to sell the stories from the books of later generations.

It didn't matter what he said, not only did Eunuch Huang listen to it with relish, but even the two guards who were driving the car and the two guards sitting on the wheel also paid attention.

"Ouch, this method is really good, when encountering such a smart bandit, even if our family is here, it is unthinkable." Eunuch Huang slapped his thigh: "Wu Jie, you really deserve to write a small talk book, that is, you can make up stories." Chen Hong should really listen to this story, and you can write it when you have time, and include the syndrome and this story. That kid said that his eyes were high and top, thinking that several of his cadres were capable and talented, and they could compare Commander Lu and the people of Shuntianfu. But if you really meet Wu Jie, I'm afraid that you will also be tricked. ”

Chen Hong...... It's a familiar name. Wu Jie's heart moved, although Eunuch Huang's words were short, they contained a lot of information, "Chen Hong, prison, small talking book, strong department." ”

He suddenly felt that today's incident was not just an ordinary kidnapping, and it seemed that Eunuch Huang did not come for ransom.

The carriage drove through the streets, and the ears were full of boiling human voices.

As he spoke, the carriage ran out for about a few miles, and suddenly there was silence in his ears, and the sound of the market was immediately cut off. I heard someone outside ask, "Who is it, ah, it's ......?"

"Don't talk, my godfather is doing something! Today is your errand, didn't you explain it when you handed over the shift? Move! "The driver is very domineering.

The man outside was obviously frightened and retreated silently.

The carriage did not slow down, and went forward again.

Wu Jie didn't know where he came, and although he was curious, he almost couldn't help but open the curtain and look out. But he knew that if he really looked out like that, he was afraid that he would not be able to go home today, so he forcibly took his hand back.

Looking back, he saw Eunuch Huang nodding with satisfaction.

Nested in the carriage on a hot day, Wu Jie was already uncomfortably hot. But as soon as he entered this place, he felt that the outside seemed to be suddenly much empty, and a cool air seeped into the car pervasively, making him feel refreshed.

The tip of the nose also smelled a burst of fresh moisture, and it was obvious that there was a vast body of water outside the car.

Wu Jie's heart was shocked: a large area of water, it seems that there is no other place in this Yanjing City except for the East Gate Wharf. At the east gate, the carriage has been coming to the northwest.

In the northwest, if you want to talk about lakes, there is only Shichahai left.

This is the West Garden. The royal garden of the Ming Dynasty.

I'm in Zhongnanhai!

There was a stirring in his heart for no reason, and Wu Jie took a few deep breaths before he calmed himself down.

The car ran for a few more moments, as if it had entered the courtyard of a complex again, and then came to a steady stop.

"Uncle Huang, but it's on the ground?" Wu Jie smiled and asked.

Eunuch Huang nodded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Wu Jie generously opened the car door and walked down.

In front of me is a large courtyard, one side is fenced, and the two sides are blue brick and blue tile bungalows, which looks ordinary.

The courtyard was so quiet that people were afraid, and no one else could be seen, only a flock of pigeons flew through the dusk sky, and the pigeon whistle was melodious and beautiful, which was very old Yanjing.

Wu Jie stayed in the car for a long time, smelled the fresh air, was in good spirits, and helped Eunuch Huang who got out of the car: "Uncle Huang, you want to lock me in that room?" ”

He pointed to a study-like room: "This place is very good, so I live here." ”

The eunuch smiled: "You are calm, go in, there is something to say." ”

The study is not large, a row of bookshelves, as usual, placed in the Four Books and Five Classics and the poetry collection of the ancients of Sui Wei.

There is a small beard bed on the east wall of the room, and in the middle is a large rosewood case, and the four treasures of the study on the case are extremely exquisite, and they are not ordinary at first glance.

In the middle of the case is a book, with a blue cloth foreskin, on which three big characters "Stone Records" are written on a beautiful Wei tablet.

The writing is very skillful, broad and solemn, and the ink color is so bright that the light of rosewood is even lower.

"This book ......" Wu Jie was taken aback: "Isn't it just Wu someone scribbling nonsense......"

"It's Wu Jie, you wrote it." Eunuch Huang smiled.

Wu Jie grabbed the book of "Stone Records" from the case and flipped through it, which was full of fly-headed small letters, copied meticulously and carefully, until the twelfth time, Wang Xifeng poisoned the Acacia Bureau, Jia Tianxiang was according to the wind and moon.

It was the section where Wu broke off.

However, there are still a lot of annotations in the book, all of which are written in cinnabar, and the handwriting is a little cold, very casual, and a little sloppy.

However, there is something interesting about this comment.

Don't look at "Dream of Red Mansions", either run to the ** description, or pay attention to the love between men and women, or read the wind and snow in it.

But these annotations look a different story.

For example, in the last paragraph of this chapter, "The current generation of Confucianism has no choice but to take care of the funeral and report it everywhere." Three said to start the scriptures, seven said to lead, after the Lingling Iron Threshold Temple. For a while, everyone in the Jia family came to ask. Rongfu Jia pardon gave 20 taels of silver, Jia Zheng also gave 20 taels, Ningfu Jia Zhen also had 20 taels, and the rest of the people in the tribe were rich and poor, or 12 taels, 34 taels. In addition, there were classmates who divided the money, and they also made up twenty or thirty taels. Although the Confucian Tao is weak, with this help, it is also rich and rich. ”

The annotation of the cinnabar pen is somewhat interesting: "But fifty taels, you can do a beautiful funeral, it can be seen that the people lack silver, and the price of silver is inflated." According to the previous chapter, one tael of silver can buy half a stone of fine polished rice. I don't know how the noise should be calculated. ”
