Chapter 509: Unscrupulous Literati

Sun Jingwen, Meng Bin and Shi Lian are all well-known people in the town, known as the three talents of Ningxia; It's a pity that although he is literate, he has no arrogance, and he bowed down under the throne of Anhua together and became the chief lackey of King Anhua's personal staff.

In terms of status, Sun Jingwen is the first, Meng Bin and Shi Lian are second, but these three have their own strengths, Sun Jingwen is good at planning, Meng Bin is eloquent, and Shi Lian is a master of interpersonal relationships, he has a handsome and fair face, and he speaks with gentleness and humility, and has many friends with officials in Ningxia Town, and his reputation is also very good.

With his naturally pleasant voice and skin, Shi Lian is also handy in the affairs of men and women, secretly climbing over the wall to enter the house, and has some collusion with many noble ladies and ladies in Ningxia Town. But this guy is hungry and doesn't choose to eat, even the women on the street, the kitchen in the palace have to eat a bite, when Wan Shi entered the palace kitchen as a cook, Shi Lian and this woman who was originally from the Qinglou quickly met each other.

Zhu Changshun was on duty in the palace for more than ten days a month, which also gave Shi Lian more convenience, and the two of them were secretly looking for a secret place to hang out, and gradually developed to the point that Shi Lian openly went to Zhu Changshun's house to steal food, and became more and more unscrupulous.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month tonight, the prince of Anhua borrowed a knife to kill people and lost his hand, and his feelings were extremely bad, and Shi Lian and Sun Jingwen and other people were also tossed until the third watch before leaving the house. Walking on the street, looking at the bright moon, Fang remembered that today was the Lantern Festival, and remembered Wan's methods in the bed, Shi Lian's heart was hot, and he decided to try his luck. So he secretly came to Zhu Changshun's door and saw the red light shining on the porch, which meant that Zhu Changshun was not at home.

When Jinyiwei broke into the door, Shi Lian and Wan were entangled with death, and their hearts and livers were extremely numb, until they were caught here by the five-flower tie and gagged mouth, and Shi Lian still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Before, he thought that Zhu Changshun brought someone to catch the traitor, but it was not a big deal, like Zhu Changshun, but a few dozen taels of silver were sent away, and he didn't dare to do anything to himself; Besides, the whole Ningxia Town knew that he was a guest of the palace, not to mention Zhu Changshun, who was a servant in the palace; To be honest, his wife is promoting him.

However, the current situation made Shi Lian frightened, it was not Zhu Changshun who arrested him but Jinyiwei, and the person in front of him was indeed Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei, which made Shi Lian have to consider his own situation and Jinyiwei's motives for arresting him.

"Mr. Shi, how can you do such a thing as a scholar, do you teach you scholars to steal people's wives and daughters?" Song Nan asked with a smile.

"I am fascinated by the ghosts, and I beg Commander Song to spare me, and I will be confused for the next moment, and I will change my mind and be a man in the future." Shi Lian prevaricated with remorse on his face, but he believed in his heart that Song Nan should not do anything to himself, no matter how he was the prince's person, it was not a big deal.

Song Nan slowly got up and walked in front of Shi Lian and said: "Shi Lian, you are a scholar, you should know how to sentence the crime of adultery in my Ming Law, men and women who commit adultery are sentenced to 90 stripping rods, and they are naked and tied up and paraded in the streets; As a professor of health studies, you are studying the books of sages and teaching the children of others, which is simply an insult to Sven. The official didn't say much, and as soon as he did it according to the law, after dawn tomorrow, he would publicly execute you, and then parade through the streets for a day to set an example. ”

Shi Lian and Wan were terrified, it was no longer guaranteed whether they could survive after the ninety rods, and they would have to parade naked in the streets after the rods, even if they survived, they would be the target of scolding by thousands of people in the future; If such things are not proclaimed publicly, if they are proclaimed, everyone will turn away from them in the future. The identity of his Weixue chair is naturally gone, and the prince will definitely not need him anymore, so it is better to die cleanly.

"Lord Song spare your life, I beg Lord Song to raise your noble hand, and I made a mistake in the next moment, please Lord Song look at it...... For ...... sake" Shi Lian was speechless for a while, Song Nan was not familiar with him, and he couldn't find anyone to mediate and intercede, so he rushed out in a hurry: "For the sake of the prince's face, spare it this time, don't dare in the future." ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Lord Wang? Which prince? ”

"King of Anhua County, I often go in and out of the prince's mansion, and everyone knows that I am a staff member on the prince's throne, if you make this matter public, wouldn't it be a smear on the prince's face? I begged Lord Song to be merciful and forgiving, and I was grateful. ”

Song Nan touched his chin and thought for a while: "What I said makes some sense, you are the guest of the prince of Anhua, if I do things according to the rules and take you to the street to play the board, and announce the ugly matter of your adultery with Zhu Changshun's wife, it seems to have smeared the face of the king of Anhua, it seems that something is wrong, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's just too inappropriate, the prince is the person with the best face, although he deserves to make a mistake, but the prince will definitely be disgraced, won't he be angry with you, Lord Song?"

Song Nan smiled and nodded: "Very yes, according to what you mean, what should I do?" Why don't I order my subordinates to send the two back to the bed in the Zhu family and ask the two to continue, and we won't bother again? ”

Shi Lian's face turned red and said: "No, no, I have no place to sweat, I am dizzy for a while, I have been bewitched by this woman, and I will not dare to do it in the future; As long as the adults turned a blind eye and let us go, I, Shi Lian, have some heads and faces in Ningxia Town, what do I have to do in Ningxia Town, I am determined to do my best. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "This is a good way, my Jinyi Wei should not know about this, save your reputation, and give the prince face, let's just treat no one tonight." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is wise, no wonder my Ningxia town officials privately say that Lord Song is exquisite, and he is in a high position at a young age, but it is not in vain." Shi Lian's fart slapped the mountain sound, and Song Nan, who was bent on fooling himself, let himself go.

Song Nan waved his hand and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, in fact, your matter is not a big deal, Zhu Changshun's wife is beautiful and coquettish, but marrying someone like Zhu Changshun is really a bit of a waste; And you, Mr. Shi Lianshi, are full of talents, you are not stealing people, you are saving people. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The adults laughed, and they were embarrassed. ”

"I said that this is not a big deal, I originally planned to let you go, my Jinyi Wei didn't come to Ningxia to arrest who stole someone's wife, who slept with whose sister, and so on; But just now you mentioned the prince of Anhua, and you want me to put you on the face of the prince of Anhua, let me ask, why should I give him face? Well? Song Nan's face suddenly became gloomy, and his voice became cold.

"Huh?" Shi Lian opened his mouth wide and was stunned, did he move out of the backer of King Anhua, could it be counterproductive?

"King Anhua, hehe, I will give anyone's face, but I can't give his face, you don't know what happened in the lamp market tonight, after tonight, do you think I will give face to King Anhua? You're stupid. ”

Shi Lian suddenly remembered that tonight, the prince sent Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi to take advantage of the chaos to kill Song Nan but was killed by Song Nan, and scolded himself in his stomach for being stupid, and he actually forgot this section; Since Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi have done it, how can Song Nanyan know that the prince wants to take advantage of the chaos to kill him, how can he give the prince face again; When he caught the subordinates of the person who wanted to control himself to death, how could he let himself go lightly, but he was still naΓ―ve to think that bringing out the prince would make Song Nan jealous.

"Shi Lian, you are hopeless, tomorrow if your pair of adulterers and adulteresses can survive the ninety rods, you will be lucky, you don't have to worry about parade in the streets, let alone how to behave in the future, because tomorrow you will be beaten to death in the streets; King Anhua wanted to kill me Song Nan, so I first killed a few dogs and taught him to understand how I Song Nan could be provoked. Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi are dead, now it's your turn. Song Nan sneered.

Shi Lian's body was cold, and he sat on the ground weakly, and he heard the meaning from Song Nan's words, tonight's incident was not accidental, but Song Nan deliberately ordered someone to catch the traitor, in order to kill himself in front of King Anhua, and he became a victim caught between the prince and Song Nan.

Wan didn't understand anything on the side, but she also vaguely felt that she had a big deal, how did this plasterer who came to the house a few days ago to ask for a map of the palace suddenly become a big official of the court, and that day he also regarded him as a thief who wanted to steal into the palace, and deliberately asked Zhu Changshun to scribble the map, thinking that these guys would never come out again after entering the palace, but they didn't expect to meet here again.

Seeing Song Nan's gaze turn to himself, Wan lowered his face with a weak heart and made a pitiful look; I heard Song Nan speak: "Wan, can you confess the crime of adultery and non-observance of women's morals?" ”

Wan Shi said in a dumb voice: "My lord spares my life, the slave family deserves to die, and I ask my lord to be gracious." ”

Song Nan shouted: "This favor can't be opened, your husband and wife are not good things, that day your husband dared to draw a fake map for me, so he had the intention of harming me, just by this point, you and that Zhu Chang should die by the way." Today we were going to get Zhu Changshun, but we didn't expect to be unlucky and found out about your ugly things, but don't worry, my people stay in your house, Zhu Changshun will take him as soon as he goes home, and you should know that there is this retribution when you have a bad heart that day. ”

Wan Shi was discouraged and remorseful, recalling that when he was driven from Lingzhou to Ningxia Town, Zhu Zhen was hungry and cold. rescued himself and married Zhu Changshun, Zhu Changshun obeyed his words and obeyed him, although his life was not easy, but it was also stable and stable; blames himself for his water-based Yang Hua, an evil thought in his heart is immortal, since he hooked up with Shi Lian, he has been unpleasant to Zhu Changshun, so that he has fallen to today's end, it is really too late to regret it.

Wan's conscience found out, and he raised his head in tears and said: "My lord, the slave family knows that he has no shame to live, but my husband Zhu Changshun is an honest man, he was going to draw a real map for you that day, but I was worried that you were thieves and wanted to enter the palace to steal, so he forced him to draw a fake map so that you could not get in and out. The slave family asked for nothing, but begged the adults to see that they could spare my husband, and he was innocent. ”

Hou Dabiao scolded angrily: "It turns out that it is you, a whore, who is making trouble, and a woman like you should be cut by a thousand knives." ”

Wan Shi mourned and cried: "Yes, the slave family should not have come to this world, Shi Gongzi, tomorrow we will die tomorrow, you sue me, are you sincere to the slave family, did you say that you wanted to ask the slave family as a wife?" ”

Shi Lian moved in disgust and avoided it, "If it weren't for you, an adulteress, I wouldn't have ended up like this, staying away from me." ”

Wan's eyes were extremely disappointed, and his body collapsed on the ground, in pain.

Song Nan looked at this scene and sneered: "Shi Lian, you are not authentic, it seems that this Wan clan really likes you, and you are just playing with her, you are just talking a lot of sweet words, just coaxing people to go to bed and steal fun, you are even more damned than Wan's." ”

Shi Lian said angrily: "What's the matter with you, I'm going to die anyway, and I'm not afraid of you; Don't blame me for not warning you, the acquaintance let me go, otherwise the prince will never spare you. ”

Song Nan sneered: "There are you blind things in this world, look at who can't spare anyone, come here, plug his mouth, put on the chain and watch it firmly, tomorrow morning, let's watch the big drama on the street." ”
