Chapter 161: Abrupt changes in the circumstances of the case
"Wrong! I'm wronged! ”
"Stop shouting! What have you wronged you! Who put you in jail for greedy money! Stay honest! ”
"The villain is wronged! What a grievance! ”
"I warn you, shout again, shout again that you don't eat today!"
"Villain, villain! Please, take me to the prefect! ”
"Shut up!"
The door of Lu Qijiu's cell was opened, and several officials walked in, taking the cane in their hands and knocking Lu Qijiu to the ground. Several people hit them a few times, and Lu Qijiu looked even more embarrassed at the moment.
"Tell you! Honestly! A servant stepped on Lu Qijiu's face and shouted, "Otherwise, you are good-looking!" Your own crimes will be sentenced in a few days, and you are one of the beheadings in the autumn! Don't shout here! ”
After saying that, several officials walked out, closed the cell door, patted the crumpled clothes, and a group of people came to the table in the doorway, pouring wine and chatting.
Lu Qijiu struggled to get up from the ground, the shoe prints on his face trampled on his dignity, he had never suffered such humiliation in so many years. But when he thought of the family who didn't know where they were being held, his life and death were uncertain, and he must not let his mother and children be killed like this.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Qijiu shouted loudly, "Lord Prefect! Villain, villain wronged! ”
"Are you still shouting?" Hearing this shout, the officials rushed over again, making Lu Qijiu take a few steps back with some fear.
"What are you doing!" Zhang Zhutou passed by the prison, heard the commotion inside, and walked into the prison.
"Zhang Zhutou? Catch your head! Lu Qijiu had more or less heard of Zhang Zhutou's righteous name, and when he saw Zhang Zhutou, he shouted loudly as if he had seen a savior.
"What's wrong with this prisoner?" Zhang Zhutou frowned, there were often cases of prisoners abusing prisoners in the prison, and he didn't speak out much if the prison was not under his control, "Lu Qijiu? ”
Seeing that Zhang Zhutou recognized himself at a glance, Lu Qijiu knew that his opportunity had come, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting loudly with tears in his eyes: "Villain! Wrong! ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense! He's been shouting here all morning, and I think he just wants to make us unhappy! A servant said with a sneer, slamming his fist on the cell door to scare Lu Qijiu.
Zhang Zhutou frowned, looking at the mud in front of him who couldn't support the wall, and retorted: "He's been shouting here all morning, so you don't think there's anything wrong?" ”
The officials in front of them looked at each other and said no more.
"Stand down, I'll talk to him." Zhang Zhutou commanded.
The officials turned around and prepared to go to the gate to stand guard.
"Stop, don't open the door, how can I talk to him." Zhang Zhutou said.
A servant walked over, opened the cell door, and Zhang Zhutou walked in.
"Headcatcher, don't make a mistake, it's a repeat offense." A government official said as if warning, on weekdays, they just look at Zhang Zhutou unpleasantly, and they have to be a clean official in vain to cut off their financial route.
"Lock the door." Zhang Zhutou didn't bother to say more to these officials, so he said directly.
The door was locked, and these officials also relieved themselves and walked outside, and even snickered a little, ready to lock Zhang Zhutou for a while.
In the evening, as usual, the streets are very quiet.
"Open the door!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Hearing a fierce knock on the door, the two little family members of Wanfu also got up from the bed in a dishmood and opened the door bolt.
Outside, a group of officials pushed the door and knocked the two little family members to the ground.
"You guys! What are you doing? The two little housekeepers shouted, and the housekeeper in Wanfu also woke up and ran over with a group of housekeepers and all kinds of guys.
"We're here to capture important criminals! Get out of the way! A servant said.
"We don't have any important prisoners in Wanfu, is there a mistake?" Seeing that the people on the other side were from the government, the housekeeper put away the rake in his hand and said politely.
The officials were divided into two groups and made way for the middle, and Zhang Zhutou walked up and put a piece of paper in front of the housekeeper: "Governor Liang's handwritten order, arrest the repeat offender Wan Liang!" ”
The eyes of the surrounding family members widened, and the butler looked at it fixedly, and the edict was indeed written.
"What's wrong?" Yun Shenting's figure appeared in the rear, and Ben slept well, but when he heard the unusual noise here, he was forced to get up to see what was going on.
"Uncle." The butler saluted and handed over the oracle in his hand.
Yun Shenting saw the oracle clearly by the moonlight, and looked at Zhang Zhutou in surprise: "This, what is the reason for this?" Zhang Zhutou, why did Governor Liang wronged my father-in-law? ”
Zhang Zhutou hated the people who oppressed the people the most in his life, and he had no good impression of Wan Liang's family at the moment, although he had known Yun Shenting well, he snorted coldly at this moment and said coldly: "The evidence is conclusive, there are also human witnesses, and I found it myself, so please ask Wan Liang to come out and go with me, I don't want to entangle with you more." ”
Yun Shenting frowned, thinking about how to solve the dilemma in front of him, and that friendly and strong voice sounded behind him.
"Zhang Zhutou came to visit late at night, there must be something important?" Wan Liang said lightly, seeing that Zhang Zhutou was menacing, he probably guessed that Yu Sanqian started to act.
Yun Shenting handed over the oracle, Wan Liang glanced at it, lowered his head and frowned.
"Master Wan, I don't have time for you to consider whether to follow me or not, this is a strong order!" Zhang Zhutou turned his head sideways, and two officials came behind him and escorted Wan Liang.
"Wait a minute! Our lord is still the chief merchant of the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no need to kneel to the prefect and let you be held. The butler hurriedly stopped the two officials and said strongly.
"Soon it won't be!" Zhang Zhutou said coldly, turned around and left with this group of people, Wan Liang was escorted by two people and followed behind Zhang Zhutou.
The people in the Ten Thousand Mansions looked at each other, and no one knew what to do now.
"Butler, quick, send someone to find the black dog!" Yun Shenting suddenly remembered that there was such a person who could help, and immediately turned back to the housekeeper and said.
Late at night, another sleepless night, the black dog looked at the ceiling boredly.
There was a soft knock on the door outside, but the black dog did not get up, and the people outside did not push the door.
"Let's go to sleep."
Tang Luofan's soft voice drifted into the ears of the black dog in the night wind, and the black dog always wanted to know how Tang Luofan knew that he didn't sleep every day when his room was dark.
"Knock knock!" "Knock knock!"
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door downstairs, which startled everyone in the restaurant, and the black dog sat up from the bed at once, pushed open the door, glanced at Tang Luofan, and hurriedly ran downstairs.
More than two people, all the people in the restaurant ran out in disheveled clothes, looking at the door as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Open the door! Black Dog! I'm Wanliang's housekeeper, something happened! ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, lowered their heads and walked over to open the door, and looked at Wan Liang's housekeeper complainingly: "I said what are you knocking on in the middle of the night!" I'm scared to death, so let's talk about something! ”
The housekeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't have the time to go in and say it!" What about the black dog, hey! Why aren't you in a hurry, you, something is wrong! ”
The black dog looked at the housekeeper in confusion: "You didn't even say what happened, I'm in a hurry." ”
"Zhang Zhutou led people to say that they were arrested on the orders of the Liang prefect to arrest our master!" The housekeeper patted his head, which made him anxious, "Hurry up and follow me!"
As he spoke, the butler took the black dog and asked to leave.
"I'll go and wait here." The black dog nodded and followed.
The housekeeper trotted forward with the black dog as if he was crazy, and the black dog peeked sideways at Hua Qingshan who was following behind as he walked, and there was still a trace of worry in his heart, not knowing how to save the housekeeper's life.
The distance from the restaurant is getting farther and farther, and the black dog is estimated to be walking to the yamen in a while, and the black dog slowly slows down.
"Girl, why don't you leave? Come on! The butler turned around and saw that the black dog had stopped, and hurried over to pull the black dog on.
"What are you going for?" The black dog's expression was gloomy, and the housekeeper who watched it was a little stunned.
"Master Wan..." Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a slap from the black dog.
Seeing the housekeeper's shocked expression, the black dog sneered twice: "Master Wan! Master Wan! You've been talking about Wan Liang all day long! Why doesn't anyone take care of me! Why should I go with you to save Wanliang! ”
"But you, you're on the same front as our master! You, you're not afraid of rain and three dollars to kill you! The butler pointed to the black dog and said.
The black dog looked at the housekeeper with a sneer, and turned his back to his hand: "Of course I was afraid that Yu Sanqian would attack me, so I chose to kill Wan Liang with him, so wouldn't Yu Sanqian have no reason to kill me?" ”
"You! What did you say! The butler looked at the black dog in disbelief, the old man had been believing in her so much for so long, "Our master treated you like this, you, you actually treated him like this!" ”
"Your lord treats me like this, I have nothing wrong with him like this, report it back." The black dog spread his hand and said.
"If it weren't for our master, you would be able to recover the Qin family's recipes! If it weren't for our master, you would have survived until now! You will take revenge, and you actually take refuge in Yusanqian! The butler shouted.
The black dog took out his flying knife and put it against the butler's neck, the butler immediately didn't dare to move again, and the black dog whispered: "If it weren't for your master, I would have waded into this troubled water, would the shopkeeper Qin have his identity exposed?" If it weren't for your master, Yun Shen Pavilion would have abandoned me? Is it too much for you lord to treat me like this, and I killed him? ”
"How can you be emotional?" Although the butler was terrified, he still spoke.
"Just kill him!" Hua Qingshan finally appeared, and the weapon in his hand was about to come directly towards the housekeeper.
The black dog blocked him with a flying knife and looked back at the housekeeper: "Leave him a dog's life, go back and tell Yun Shenting and Wan Ying, if you can go to prison, by the way, tell Wan Liang that I have come to take revenge, I am the person of Yu Sanqian!" Wan Liang is no longer qualified to let me do anything! However, if Yun Shenting is willing to take a break from Wan Ying, I will consider letting him and Wan Ying go. ”
"You, you, traitor!" The butler shouted as he pointed to the black dog.
"Don't get out yet!" Hua Qingshan waved the knife in his hand.
The butler turned around and ran away.
"It's much more comfortable." The black dog exhaled a long breath, and the depressed emotions in his heart were indeed a little lighter.
