Chapter 48: Into the Dangerous Path (3)

"This matter is a long story, my father has always had very high expectations for my brother, and I always look forward to the day when I can enter the temple to be an official and enter the knighthood, taking my grandfather's early years as an example, but my brother is not enterprising, and he is not very interested in literature and science, in order to make his father happy, he secretly spent a thousand taels of silver, bought a seven-grade farewell, and came to Tian County this week to take office."

"How do I know that after I took office, I found that there were already two county magistrates in the county government arguing endlessly, both saying that their own accusations were true, and the other party's was false. Because of the weakness of the heart, he did not dare to go to the court to confront the two county commanders, and when he was in trouble, more than a dozen people who held the seven grades of the county government came one after another, which made the brother even more shocked. ”

Yulou finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what is the farewell?" ”

"It is the document appointed by the emperor as the brother of Zhoutian County." Sikong Lanyu said.

"That is to say, only one of the dozen or so people who have sued him is true, and the rest are all fake accusations bought with unjust money? Jade Corridor Road.

"Exactly, but my brother is not sure that what he has in his hand is the real confession, and he hates the servant Wei Ting who betrayed the confession, he has caused so many people to spend all his wealth for money and be deceived." Sikong Lanyu still hated it when he said this.

"He's just a servant, where did he get the emperor's death? No wonder my brother was fooled, and you didn't distinguish carefully, so you gave away a thousand taels. Yulou complained.

"How do you know what kind of person this Wei Ting is? Although he is a servant, but he is the opposite of a man dressed as a woman, he looks handsome and has a sweet voice, and now he is very much liked by the emperor today, not only freely entering and leaving the deep courtyard of the inner palace, but also being named a squire by the emperor and secretly participating in court politics. Sikong Lanyu said.

"No wonder he dared to blatantly sell a false accusation, it turned out that the emperor was behind him." Jade Corridor Road.

"Yes, my brother was secretly planning at the time, that Wei Ting had the emperor's support, even if my brother came to the door to ask for the deceived silver taels, he came to deny it, and there was no reason for my brother, I was trying to think that I was unlucky, and went home to tell my father the truth, at most let my father beat dozens of sticks, but before I left, I heard that more than a dozen people who were holding a lawsuit had fought, and in the end two or three people were killed in the chaos, and some people were also wounded and lying on the ground and kept calling."

Yulou said angrily: "It's really harmful! ”

"Yes, later, when everyone was at a standstill and no one was upholding justice, Wei Ting sent a fast horse envoy and a person wearing a county order official uniform to read out the emperor's holy decree, saying that Wu Sheng, the person wearing the county order official uniform, was the real Qipin county order of Zhoutian County, and the rest of the people were all arrested pending trial for forgery." Sikong Lanyu said.

"Then how did my brother get out?" Yulou asked.

"It's also for my brother's cleverness, I didn't take out that false accusation to argue with those people, and when I saw this, I quietly slipped away." Sikong Lanyu said with a smile.

"Good! My brother is really smart. Yulou boasted.

"Brother Wei was about to slip away, but at this time a group of cavalry came running, and the leader shouted, Dog officer! Who would dare to arrest innocent people? Ask me about the axe in Jiao Wu's hand! After speaking, he actually cut down the envoy sent by Wei Ting to the ground, and said to Wu Sheng, this week there will be a dispute between true and false confessions in Tian County every year, do you dare to guarantee that the confession in your hand is indeed written by the emperor Lao'er? That Wu Sheng was so frightened that Suo Suo trembled, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, he said, the little one is just a salt merchant, and these seven products are also bought for a lot of money. ”

Yulou said: "It turns out that it's all fake? So who is in the hands of everyone who is real? ”

"I don't know this brother, at that time, I heard that Wu Sheng said that he also bought the body, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly, only to hear that Jiao Wu said, since everyone is bought to sue the body, be fair in the next, come and come, you and others will come to catch lots, whoever catches the two words of the county order, who is the county order of Zhoutian."

"Lots?" Yulou still doesn't know what to draw lots?

"Yes, it is to take a piece of paper and write a dozen words, of which only one piece of paper is a county order, and the rest are other words." Sikong Lanyu said.

"Did my brother arrest him?" Yulou said curiously.

"Of course, Brother Wei also wanted to try his luck, so he showed Jiao Wu his false confession, and waited with the rest of the people, and caught it, but he was unlucky and didn't catch it, hehe." Sikong Lanyu said with a smile.

"Later, the Zhoutian County Order was elected?" Yulou asked.

"Yes, there is a benevolent brother who was lucky enough to catch the word county order, and he cheered, it's me, it's me! I got it! Brother Wei was happy for him, but a brother pulled out his sword and suddenly killed himself, so frightened that Brother Wei was frightened, and he cursed Wei Ting in his heart, and killed an innocent life, alas. Sikong Lanyu sighed.

"Alas, this person is really stubborn, do you have to be an official?" Yulou also sighed.

"Now it's not that I have to be an official, but I can't face my parents at home because I am bankrupt." Sikong Lanyu said.

At this time, Jiao Wu said loudly, this is the desperate people harmed by the dog emperor, brothers, if you want, you can follow to be a rebel, the army will treat you like a family member, what do you think? Seeing that Jiao Wu was extremely righteous, he took the lead and said, I am willing to go with you, the rest of the people had no idea, and when they saw that someone took the lead, they were willing to follow, and later, Brother Wei became a member of the righteous army. Sikong Lanyu was extremely careful when he said this, and kept looking out the window, for fear that someone would overhear.

"What is the Righteous Army?" Yulou asked.

"The righteous army is an army that opposes the emperor's officers and soldiers, and they must not reveal their identities under any circumstances, otherwise they will be killed." Sikong Lanyu whispered.

How mysterious is this rebel? Yulou thought of the long-armed saint monarch and said, the disciples of the Earth Demon Sect will not reveal their identities, could it be that this righteous army is similar to the disciples of the Earth Demon Gate?

"My brother has been in the rebel army for two months, and I found that the commander of the rebel army, Lord Du, is very approachable, and he was also promoted to my brother to be an escort officer, responsible for the escort and collection of grain and grass." Sikong Lanyu said with some smugness.

"The officer who escorted the grain and grass? Brother, this official is not small, right? Yulou asked.

"No matter how big or small the official is, as long as the brother does things for the righteous army, he will be satisfied, and this tricky matter at the moment has something to do with the grain and grass for the brother." Sikong Lanyu talked for a long time, and finally got to the point.

"What's going on? How to thorny it? "Yulou is interested.

Sikong Lanyu's brows tightened, and he looked at Yulou's eyes and said: "Shicai is a brother who sees that the virtuous brother is extraordinary, and he must be a martial arts master, so he wants to ask the virtuous brother to help with this, if he can solve this matter smoothly, he will introduce Master Du to the virtuous brother, and ask Lord Du to make an inspector for the virtuous brother." ”

"Yulou is not interested in being an official, can I ask my brother to tell me what that tricky matter is?" Yulou thought, the master once taught me that the canon of the Heavenly Demon Gate is not to meddle in state affairs, if the tricky things that my brother said have nothing to do with state affairs, I can still help my brother with this favor and return him a favor.
