Lu Bing helped Liu Ruofeng to find a place to sit, and seeing that the restaurants were being renovated one after another, and the lower board was closed and there was no business, Lu Bing had to take Liu Ruofeng to the Sixi Hall near the Confucius Temple. I am still quite familiar with Lu Bing of Sixi Hall, after all, I have lived here for half a year before, although it is in a secret room, everything here has not changed, but the business has been a lot colder, and I don't know if it is because of Meng Xueqing's departure or for some other reason.

The two beautiful scholars at the door, the turtle princess, were gone, and now they were replaced by the serious turtle princess, and when they saw the flattery of the low-eyed and groveling eyes, they knew what they were thinking, and Lu Bing found a clean private room and sat down with Liu Ruofeng. After a cup of tea, a man who looked like an old bustard pounced over with a group of warblers and warblers, wanting to play tea or something, Lu Bing impatiently threw over a piece of silver, urging them to go down without greeting, and let them hurry up and serve the food.

The silver is easy to use everywhere, and after a while, the kung fu wine and food came up, and Lu Bing saw that the turtle was standing there and refused to go down, so he threw a piece of broken silver, and everything was in order. Lu Bing shook his head and said, "Hey, how did such an elegant place as Sixi Hall become a salted meat village." You see, this wine and food have become a lot thicker, so let's eat it alive. Come, Brother Liu, drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock. ”

Liu Ruofeng sat there stunned, Lu Bing poured a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Ruofeng, Liu Ruofeng took it and drank it all, and then cried bitterly. Lu Bing waited for Liu Ruofeng to stop crying and asked, "Brother Liu, what happened, why are you so sad?" ”

"It's not all about Lu Bing," Liu Ruofeng said with a sob: "At the beginning, my father praised Lu Bing's actions. It is really gratifying to say that he eradicated the evil and brought to justice all the officials who formed a party for personal gain. As a result, it didn't take three or four days to say this. Bad luck fell on my father. In addition to the inspector Yushi and some eunuchs, in fact, the most powerful people in the anti-bandit army are the people who are responsible for investigating and reporting, and the superiors only arrest people for the sake of Lu Bing's political achievements, regardless of whether they are indiscriminate at all. My father was just a Ministry of Rites, and because he couldn't see a soldier beating and scolding a hawker on the street, he came out and said a few fair words. He was reported as a wicked person, and listed many things that did not conform to the law at all. My father was imprisoned and tortured in prison. Within a few days, he was furious and went west. Our house was ransacked, and although our family members were not reduced to slavery, all their property was confiscated. As a result, I now write on the street every day for a living. No way. My brother is still young, and I still have an old mother to support at home, so I can't do it if I don't earn money. Brother Lu, there is a reluctant invitation below. ”

"Please, please." Lu Bing said busily.

Liu Ruofeng knelt down before he could speak: "There are four brothers in my family, I have an elder brother above me, and now he is also imprisoned, and I have a younger sister in addition to a brother below, look at Brother Lu's actions today." It should be soaring. You're a good person, I know. I also hope that Brother Lu will help me take care of my sister, I am not picky about being a slave and a maid, I just want to give my mouth enough to eat. ”

Lu Bing hurriedly helped Liu Ruofeng up and said: "I can respond to you in this matter, how can you let our sister be a slave and a maid, it's not appropriate." ”

"What's wrong, if you don't promise me, you won't be able to kneel long. Do you know that our family can't live anymore, we live by being things every day, and now we don't even have winter robes, and we don't have anything to sell anymore. And just now, the gang of soldiers, as long as they saw our family, harassed us all day long, robbed us of the only remaining property, we sued but it was useless, and what we got was even more cruel humiliation. My sister has reached the age of leaving the cabinet this year, and I'm afraid that if this continues, either let these soldiers spoil or they will have to afford to eat and eventually sell them in the kiln, compared to it, being a slave and a maid is still a good ending, let alone a good family like you. Liu Ruofeng said.

Lu Bing smiled bitterly, thinking that Liu Ruofeng was looking for the master's family, obviously wanting to marry his sister, and said that there were enough women's troops in his family, even if he didn't have it, he couldn't do it. Lu Bing saw that Liu Ruofeng was about to kneel on the ground again, and he didn't support him, but asked, "Do you think Lu Bing is to blame for all this?" ”

"Of course it's strange, it's not that his policy is wrong, it's not that he can't detect it, I understand that he can't do everything himself, it's someone else who violates his original intention. But I blame him for not having a proper inspection system, so that the villain took advantage of the loophole, through this incident, you can know that he is really as rumored, he relied on Wang Longxing to become in power, although he has a good heart, but in fact he has no great ability. Liu Ruofeng talked eloquently, Lu Bing's face was a little ugly, and he didn't dare to comment on the success of his own work, but he knew how much he had suffered for the sake of Daming, there was no credit and hard work, Liu Ruofeng was a scholar with a low master, and he had no experience, so he speculated and complained nonsense from here, which made Lu Bing's heart not feel a little panicked.

Don't talk about hard work, but in the end, he was said to be a brainless person who became a powerful person by relying on the Holy Family, how could Lu Bing not be angry. And Lu Bing also deeply understands Yang Tinghe, or understands what people are all about, no matter how much you do, how little you do, what you do right or wrong, you will always be scolded, because it is impossible to do things, it is impossible to do things in everyone's hearts, and it is too difficult to be a person.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you, why is your face a little ugly." Liu Ruofeng seems to have been really miserable recently, he has a dish, he shook off his cheeks and ate wildly, the wind swept the food on the table, and finally squeezed out his tongue from his mouth and asked: "By the way, don't just talk about me, where is Brother Lu lately, why are those soldiers so scared when they saw you just now, could it be that you are really the Lu Bing in the capital?" Hey, hey, hey. Liu Ruofeng chuckled, even he didn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bing nodded and said, "I am that Lu Bing." As soon as Lu Bing's words fell, Liu Ruofeng was stunned, and then burst out laughing, and sprayed Lu Bing's face with rice grains by the way. Liu Ruofeng hurriedly helped Lu Bing wipe his face, but he still couldn't stop laughing: "Brother, I know that your name is Lu Bing, but how can you be that Lu Bing, that Lu Bing is a person who grew up with the emperor since childhood." You won't tell me that it was the emperor who visited the kiln with you last time. ”

Lu Bing said: "It's the emperor, didn't you hear him introduce himself as Huang Di?" Huang Di is equal to the emperor. After Lu Bing finished speaking, he hurriedly covered Liu Ruofeng's mouth, for fear that he would squirt out again. Then he said: "But that person is not the current saint, but the former emperor Zhu Houzhao." I and the Holy One today are a different matter."

"You didn't lie to me?" Liu Ruofeng's face became a little pale, and Lu Bing said calmly: "I didn't lie to you, everything is true." ”

"I'll kill you!" Liu Ruofeng screamed and pounced on Lu Bing, Lu Bing's luck and footsteps, and flew out of the city with a light tiptoe. Liu Ruofeng threw himself on the ground and cried bitterly, and then couldn't get up, just cried like hanging filial piety.

Lu Bing scolded: "You're such a wreck. Stand up and fight me to the death, live better than me, when a greater and greater ruler than me changes all this, the revenge of the avenging and the revenge of the vengeance. Or maybe they're living longer than I am. It's okay to see me leave earlier than you, it's better than you are now, crying is a ball ability, is it still a gentleman? ”

Liu Ruofeng wiped his tears and got up, Lu Bing took a step forward and said, "You hurry up and eat some food, and I'll ask the turtle to go out and buy you a set of clean clothes, and let's go find out what's going on." I will definitely give you justice. ”

Liu Ruofeng didn't speak, and sat on the chair. Continue to wreak havoc on the dishes on the table.

—————————————————————————————————————

When Lu Bing stood at the door of the Supervision Division, he was furious, this yamen did not exist originally, and it was precisely because Lu Bing needed unified management and supervision that Zhu Houxi was specially invited to set it up, which was a temporary institution that was not permanent, and was judged by the eunuchs and the inspectors. Lu Bing, on the other hand, divided his anti-bandit army into several branches and placed them in the supervision department of each place as an official to supervise and investigate, and to take charge of arrest and detention work.

Lu Bing walked with Liu Ruofeng, claiming to visit the prison, the officers and soldiers knew Liu Ruofeng, so they were extremely disdainful, and wanted to refuse, but seeing Lu Bing's luxurious clothes, and a little familiar, it seemed that he often saw it, but he didn't know who Lu Dao was, and he said that it might be the son of a new official in the capital. So, after the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding Lu Bing asked Lu Bing for ten taels of silver, they let them in to look at people, and when they saw the boss of the Liu family, Liu Boss was already hungry, and he was covered with scars and blood.

Boss Liu was thrown into a cage full of prisoners, living with him in a similar physical condition. The cells next door are single rooms, clean and tidy, and the prisoners inside are all white and fat, and at a glance you can see that Lu Dao has not suffered much. Lu Bing asked Bingding, "How much does it cost to move to that single room?" ”

"Hey, don't look at your age, you know a lot, you can see the doorway at a glance, it's much better than your stupid brother." The soldier glanced at Liu Ruofeng as he spoke, and continued: "Move to a single room, five taels of silver a day, plus five taels for three meals a day, and ten taels a day to ensure that you are as good as ever, and the price is fair." ”

Lu Bing began to scold his mother in his heart, but he still asked with a smile: "How much does it cost to go out?" If you can't get out, I'm afraid no one will want to spend this unjust money. ”

The soldier gave a thumbs up and said: "This little brother is really bright, this can be seen, I won't hide it from you, you just need to ask me to do things to ensure that you spend less, and I will give you an internal price." As he spoke, the soldier held out five fingers.

Lu Bing guessed: "Five hundred taels? ”

"Are you teasing me, five hundred taels? Five thousand taels, locked up in our place, is more serious than the edict of the Fusi in Jinyiwei Town, Beijing, once you enter here, it will be a capital crime. Don't be too expensive, this is the money to buy a life, and no amount is too expensive. The soldier said, looking serious: "Actually, it is said that it will cost a thousand taels, but your brother and family are too ignorant, and their old man is not good at provoking anyone, so he has to be nosy, and he will provoke our brother-in-law." Forget about getting him up, he shouts about Wang Fa every day and that he is an official of the court or something, but look at it, which one here is not walking in the public gate, he is just a small person who dares to shout in the matter, that is, the Ministry of Rites is still lying down. When Mr. Qian came to inspect that day, he scolded Mr. Qian, this matter is a big deal, but even if the old man is lucky, he died before he tortured him. But his son is miserable, you see that there is no one to beat, what is your brother's name, yes, his name is Liu Ruofeng, he is stupid and doesn't know how to send some money. It's okay not to send money, I heard that he also has a sister, and it's good to send his sister to treat our brother, but he didn't send anything, and everyone was annoyed after a long time, and the price had to go up. So 5,000 taels still depends on the fact that you are an open person, if you change to someone else, 10,000 taels may not be able to do it. ”

Lu Bing nodded and said: "I don't have much silver taels today, here is a hundred taels of silver ticket, don't let this big brother help take care of it for anything else, and then I will give the tattooed silver guarantor to go out, you smile first, this is the dim sum money for you." Lu Bing said and took out a silver ticket from the Shen family's bank, and the soldier took it and said with a smile: "Why don't you say that you will come to the big brother?" Liu Ruofeng, you learn a little. ”

Liu Ruofeng snorted coldly, ignored the soldier, and said in his heart for a while When you know who he is, you are crying. The soldier pointed at Liu Ruofeng and said: "Just like you, you look like a bear, and your father and brother have a beating, you deserve to die, look at this little brother." Saying that, he looked at Lu Bing: "This son, what is your surname?" ”

"Don't give your surname Lu, you can just call me Wenfu." Lu Bing said. (To be continued......)
