Chapter 12 Representations
Soon, the sons of the two Shangshu lords were sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, no matter what the result is, tomorrow, the news will spread all over Suzhou City, and within three days, everyone in the capital will know about it.
In short, the name Zhang Dongtian is about to become popular, if anyone wants to ask him to sign it, then they have to hurry up, because in the near future, this person will either fall to the ground, or rise to the top, and it will be difficult to find him at that time......
Generally speaking, if the case involves the army, the upper authorities will become very sensitive, and the criminal department, the official department, and the military department all have to say a little bit, and it is certain that they will send a Beijing official down to check it again, and the question is what kind of role this person is.
But that's for later, and the time goes back to tonight.
Zhao Wei and Du Fengchun were dragged into prison, even though they were in good spirits at the beginning and kept intimidating everyone in prison, but after a violent beating, they also shut up.
The person who beat them was not a jailer, but a fellow inmate who was also in prison together, and for some reason, tonight this yamen was tense in the cell, and Zhao Du and some other death row inmates had to be crowded into a cell.
These two obviously have no experience in prison, and they still go their own way, thinking that as long as they are ordinary people, they are easy to bully, so they pay a very painful price......
In fact, this situation is very similar to the modern detention center, you two young masters have just come in, the oil and water are relatively sufficient, you don't have to eat for the first two days, and the dishes will be shared by the seniors. Normally, you just squat down by the toilet in that corner and stare at each other, and if you are doing well, you can come over and give the prison boss a back whack or a shoulder after a while. If you don't behave well, then you should stay with the toilet until you cut off your head. Don't say that you are the son of Shangshu, you are the third prince of the Dragon King, and if you enter this prison, you have to see whose fists are big to speak.
Zhao Wei and Du Fengchun both grew up living a life of fine clothes and food, and their hobbies since they were teenagers were to travel in the mountains and rivers, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, occasionally harm one or two women from good families, or send a few unlucky ghosts who offended themselves to prison.
These two never imagined that they would be today, and if you ask them how they feel at the moment, they will definitely write a long essay with eight big words: "It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come." ”
Their retribution is indeed coming, but they are not desperate, because they think that their father must have a way to settle this matter, and then they will go and settle the matter slowly, now...... Let's pretend to be a grandson.
On the other side, Wang Xu, who was handcuffed, did not return to the Drunken Star Tower, and after he was acquitted, he did not leave, and followed behind Master Zhang very obscenely, as if he wanted to go back to sleep with him......
"What are you doing here?"
"I want to go to the back hall with you."
"Huh? Daring! Is the back hall of this yamen something you can enter if you want to? ”
"I want to see the cat...... Oh no...... It's Dr. Gu. ”
Lord Zhang's eyes lit up, this Wang Xu just said the word Cat Ye, that is, the name engraved on the gold medal of the big inner secret agent, does he know the identity of Lord Gu......
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Dongtian felt that something was wrong, although he was very happy to be a good official without scruples today, but thinking about it carefully, in addition to punishing those two evil youths, this Gu Lord seemed to have helped Wang Xu from the side, and this Wang Xu's martial arts are also obvious to all, is he also ......
"Hmm...... You come with me. Master Zhang led the way in front, took Wang Xu to a room and sat down, and then said, "Wait here." ”
Wang Xu didn't care, he was tired from kneeling just now, and he just sat down to rest for a while.
After a while, the cat master walked in.
"Where's Lao Zhang?" Wang Xu took the pot of tea and drank it, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"I'd like to talk to you alone, so let him avoid it." After the cat master sat down, he cocked Erlang's legs and said.
"Oh, good, so it's much easier for me to speak."
Although the voice of the cat master was lazy, he couldn't guess what kind of path Wang Xu's kid was: "How do you know that you want to come to the back hall of this yamen to find me?" ”
"Hmph...... Usually when something unreasonable happens, I will think that you are behind the ghost, and I have to admit that you are indeed a good hand at conspiracies. ”
Master Mao smiled: "Listening to you say this, it seems that you know me very well?" But I don't remember an acquaintance like you. ”
Wang Xu put down the teapot: "I'll just say it directly, you and I are not from this world." ”
"Oh? I don't understand what you mean by that. ”
"It's like...... One day, you wake up in bed and find yourself back in the Three Kingdoms era, where you meet some acquaintances, but they don't remember their original identities or even know you. ”
This statement is indeed bizarre in the eyes of the ancients, but the cat master does not seem to be incomprehensible: "Oh...... That is, this is the case for you right now? ”
Wang Xu nodded: "Yes, and you are one of the people I know, and the only person who can give me an answer in this situation." ”
The cat master fell into deep thought: "In this way, it is not surprising that he can call out "cat master" as soon as he sees me, maybe he already knew ......"
Wang Xu had never seen the cat master spend so long reasoning, because of the limitations of knowledge in this era, it was still quite difficult to answer everything around him.
"Your statement is too unbelievable to explain with common sense, but I'll let you say it all true, and I'll discuss it with you when I go back and think about it."
Wang Xu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay, anyway, you know where to find me." With that, he got up and left.
Shui Yingyao appeared like a ghost again: "Do you really believe him?" ”
The cat master didn't answer, but shook his head and smiled: "Yingyao...... You also go in and out of the back hall of this yamen like your own home, isn't that right? ”
"Can't you just talk to me seriously?"
"Okay, okay...... Let me give you my opinion, first of all, assuming that what he said is all false, but what is the purpose? Is it to use these words to cover up that he knows the code name 'Cat Master'? Don't you think that any other reason is better than the current explanation?
The second assumption is that he is simply a madman, which I don't think is like, I think he is not only crazy, but most of the time he is pretending to be confused, but in fact he understands everything in his heart.
Then only one last hypothesis remains, and he says it all the truth......"
Shui Yingyao interrupted: "If what he said is all true, then you shouldn't exist at all, it's impossible." ”
"Probably not, I'll think about it slowly...... I hope you don't report this matter for the time being. ”
"Hmph...... Why should I listen to you? ”
"Huh...... Even if you say so, you'll still listen to me......"
