Chapter 85: The Wonderful Jinyi Wei 2
86_86695 Lu Ping has been living in torment lately. For a person who is afraid of death, the fear of dying is really how terrible and terrible it is.
There is a reason why Lu Ping thinks his life is short. As a smart person, Lu Ping initially explained his identity at the beginning of his arrest, on the one hand, he wanted to use the identity of Jinyiwei to make his arresters have scruples, and on the other hand, he also hoped that the reaction of the person who arrested him would judge the identity of the other party.
In his opinion, once the person who captured him knew that he was a Jinyi guard, there were no more than two reactions, one was surprise and helplessness. Then, these people are figures within the officialdom, and they are nine points sure that they will save their lives. One is disdain and elation. Then, these people are the likes of rebellious ministers and thieves, and they are six or seven points sure that they will save their lives.
However, Lu Ping miscalculated. The people of the interrogation team were neither surprised and at a loss, nor disdainful and elated, but like wooden people, they obviously treated themselves according to certain rules and looked at themselves.
The decaying and rigid class and the people in this class are full of fear of the unknown. As a basic element in the feudal dynasty, Lu Ping naturally followed this attitude. He felt an unknown panic in the attitude of the members of the interrogation team. It was this panic that made Lu Ping confess everything he knew after only accepting two means.
However, Lu Ping did not feel a sense of relief in letting go of his burden because of his complete surrender, but fell into a greater panic. Because of his experience later, he once again felt that the methods of interrogating the people in the joint team were untraceable.
According to Lu Ping's experience, once a person who is arrested confesses a problem, he will generally receive better treatment. Lu Ping believes that all violent gangs understand the truth of buying horse bones. If you don't give better treatment to the first person to confess, you won't let the other people who are arrested see hope, and then they won't go along with the problem.
Lu Ping found that since he set foot on the land of Zhijiang County, his previous cognition and experience were all ineffective. This is the thing that makes Lu Ping panic the most.
For example, he lived in a place that was obviously a prison, and if it weren't for the fact that the door of this room couldn't be opened, he would even feel like he was living in some clean inn.
The place where Lu Ping is now being held is the prison in Wangfu Town, which is one of the first two two-story buildings built under Wang Shuhui. Worried about quality, Wang Shuhui used one small building as a chicken farm and another as a prison. Because of the special status of the prisoners currently in custody, in order to prevent them from colluding with each other, the accommodation conditions of the current prisoners are even better than those of most soldiers. They stayed in a two-person room.
Wang Shuhui is currently facing the problem of manpower shortage. Therefore, all the people who were arrested, as long as they were not extremely heinous and committed crimes such as murder and assault on women, in Wang Shuhui's eyes, they were all useful laborers.
In addition to getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning and shoveling and loading coal in the coal mine until 12 o'clock at noon, they can be treated with basic humane treatment, whether it is food or lodging, including all aspects of their lives.
You must know that in this era, in Wang Shuhui's eyes, the basic humane treatment is much better than the life of the vast majority of ordinary people now.
Lu Ping's cellmate, who was in the same cell with him, was the Portuguese missionary Zeng Dezhao. Unlike Lu Ping, who has no faith at all and only believes in profits, Zeng Dezhao, a Catholic priest, can face his situation calmly. Especially after Zeng Dezhao found out that his living conditions in prison were not the same as he imagined, the same situation as the dark prison of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately adjusted his psychological state and began to accept this reality peacefully.
In the seven or eight days that he was locked up with Lu Ping, Zeng Dezhao has been watching Lu Ping's state coldly. From his initial anxiety to his current complete despair, Zeng Dezhao knows Lu Ping's mental journey in the past few days. Originally, Zeng Dezhao still thought that he wanted to develop Lu Ping to become a Catholic. Unexpectedly, Zeng Dezhao just said a few words of Catholic doctrine when he was punched and kicked by Lu Ping. It was only after he was beaten that Zeng Dezhao realized that in China, there was no market for his fallacies that everyone was guilty and that everyone had to be tested by God.
Lu Ping was actually quite impatient with being locked up with a Yiren. In Lu Ping's eyes, as a noble Jinyi guard with a certain political status, he did not receive the slightest preferential treatment at all, not to mention that he was still locked up with a barbarian by them. This is a complete insult and disregard for him.
However, in the past few days, Lu Ping found that all the more than 20 prisoners currently being held have been treated equally. Whether it is shoveling coal, transporting coal, or eating, drinking and wearing, everyone is the same. This is one of the reasons why Rupin fell into despair.
The life of working in the morning, studying in the afternoon, and training in the evening is one of the contents of Lu Ping's life in the past few days. The observant Lu Ping found that his roommate was significantly more favored by the prison guards than he was. The reason is that this white-skinned barbarian has a special advantage in learning. His mastery of the character codes called Tianzhu numbers was the highest among the more than twenty prisoners. At the stage when everyone is still reading words, this barbarian has been able to use those Tianzhu digital additions, subtractions, multiplication, and divisions.
Lupin is a very motivated person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to insist on focusing on finding his backer for more than ten years in order to get ahead. Although he was only a prisoner at the moment, he didn't want his noble brocade guard to fall behind a barbarian he looked down upon. He knew that he was not the opponent of the barbarian in arithmetic, but he found that he could master the content of the general knowledge class very well. Because, most of the content in that course can be verified with his life experience.
In this way, among the more than 20 people, at present, the Portuguese missionary Zeng Dezhao has the best results in arithmetic, Jinyi Wei Luping has the best results in political affairs, and the bandit spy Zou Da has the best language scores. These three people, because of their outstanding achievements, can enjoy the treatment of adding an extra egg to each meal.
Lu Ping is worthy of being the first smart person in the Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Thousand Households. He added an extra egg to his treatment, and understood that his method of confessing his problems in exchange for a better position with his captors was obviously unworkable. However, it is not completely impossible, and it is valued here. As long as you can show your advantages in learning, you can still achieve a breakthrough in status.
In this way, the thirty-five-year-old Lu Ping began his career of devoting himself to learning.
Once a person begins to study hard, as long as there are suitable teaching materials and sincere teachers, then this person will definitely achieve corresponding results. Thirty-five-year-old Lu Ping was mentally mature, intellectually normal, and using appropriate teaching materials developed by Wang Shuhui according to the receptivity of the Ming Dynasty, and his academic performance began to improve by leaps and bounds under the careful teaching of prison guards and soldiers of the Fuxing Security Corps. So much so that with the constant rotation of the soldiers of the Fuxing Security Corps who are in charge of guarding the prison, Lu Ping, who is smart and loves to learn, actually has a little fame. Even, this fame made Wang Shuhui know about him.
Wang Shuhui is a teacher in modern times. As long as you are a teacher, there is no one who doesn't like to study hard. Naturally, Jinyi Wei Luping, who was studying seriously, entered Wang Shuhui's sight.
Wang Shuhui has always believed that the reaction of the decadent feudal society within the ruling class in feudal society is to refuse to accept the advanced and rest on its laurels. As a member of the feudal ruling class, Lu Ping had no obstacles at all in learning advanced knowledge, and he actually achieved good results, which surprised Wang Shuhui. Wang Shuhui decided to meet this wonderful brocade guard.
"Humble duty, Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Qianhu Xiaoqi Lu Ping, meet the commander and envoy."
Hearing Lu Ping, the prisoner he met for the first time, say such a thing, Wang Shuhui remembered that he still had the official title of the commander of the Jinyi Guard from the Wanli Emperor who had just died on his head. However, when he thought of this, Wang Shuhui almost laughed. This Jinyiwei named Lu Ping is really interesting, he still thinks he is an official figure, and as soon as he comes up, he uses the identity of Jinyiwei to be close to himself.
Wang Shuhui smiled, and didn't let Lu Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, stand up, he walked out of the desk, stood next to Lu Ping, and asked Lu Ping with a smile, "You, the Jinyi guard, also know that I have the title of commander, how dare you come to Zhijiang County to inquire about my affairs." ”
When Lu Ping heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Speaking of which, in his heart, Wang Shuhui can only have two identities. One is a rebel who wants to rebel, and the other is a powerful man who is bold and reckless. Because judging from the experience of being detained during this time, it is obvious that Wang Shuhui's power is already boundless within the scope of Zhijiang County.
Privately accumulating armies, building prisons, and imprisoning Jinyi guards can be said to be mortal acts. But Lu Ping also knew that as far as the current behavior of the magnates in the Ming Dynasty was concerned, such as collusion with bandits, selling illicit salt, and even selling weapons to foreign countries, those magnates in Nanjing were very proficient. Therefore, in Lu Ping's view, the feasibility of Wang Shuhui being an anti-thief is only one point, and the possibility of lawlessness controlling the state and county accounts for nine points.
But now, Lu Ping can conclude that Wang Shuhui is the kind of lawless magnat, not a thief. Because, as Wang Shuhui, if he wanted to rebel, he, the brocade guard, would definitely be pulled out and beheaded as soon as possible, and would not be ridiculed by Wang Shuhui and Yan Yue as he is now.
"My lord, I can't help myself. The Zhang family of Jingzhou Mansion, relying on the prestige of Zhang Wenda, the head of the household department, drove Jingzhou Jinyiwei. There's no way to do it. Lu Ping immediately replied.
This is where Lu Ping is smart, he thinks that Wang Shuhui can't know the actual situation, and he himself was caught just after arriving in Zhijiang County. Therefore, it is the easiest way to pass the test by deducting the basin and urine jar directly to Zhang Tianlu's head, and playing the helpless little pitiful image by himself
