Chapter 34: Conspiracy
At night, Liu County ordered the original bedroom.
It's midnight, and it's still brightly lit.
In the room, two men and a woman lay on the table with sad faces.
In the corner next to him, a thin man in an official uniform squatted there, dozing off little by little.
The strong man who guarded the carriage during the day scratched his head irritably, and his sandbag-sized fist slammed the table fiercely, startling the thin man in the official robe who was squatting in the corner.
"What can we do, a nephew of a thousand households, a nephew of a hundred households, are all on an errand under us, if we show a little bit of horsetails, we will be finished."
"Alas!"
The scribe, who was sitting with a beautiful woman, looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"Why don't we run, we have so much money now, wouldn't it be nice to find a place where no one lives our own life?"
The beautiful woman looked at the two of them with a sad face and put forward her own thoughts.
"Sister, are you willing to give up your identity as a county lady and become an ordinary peasant woman?"
"I..."
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, thinking about the past few days, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.
Just living such a good life, she is willing to give up, if possible, she is even willing to live a lifetime.
The unwilling, glamorous woman turned her head to look at the middle-aged scribe.
"Aren't you very smart, tell me, what to do now, we are all counting on you."
The middle-aged scribe frowned, reached out and patted the beautiful woman's soft hair to soothe him, and began to quickly use his brain, thinking about how to solve this matter.
But he was only born as a bookkeeper, and he had only heard of officialdom, but had not experienced it, and his mind was in chaos at this time, and he had no clue at all.
"I... I... Have an idea, would you like to hear it? ”
Just when the three of them were full of sadness, frowning and pondering, the man in the official robe in the corner raised his hand weakly.
"Huh!"
The three of them turned their heads to look at it instantly.
The man in the official robe hurriedly lowered his head.
"You have a way!"
The strong man stood up violently, walked quickly to the man in the official robe, reached out and grabbed the collar, and lifted it up.
"I... I... I..."
The man in the official robe was frightened by this, and the courage that had just risen disappeared in an instant.
"Okay Shanzi, don't scare him."
The middle-aged scribe had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to pull the strong man away, and with a hypocritical smile on his face, he arched his hand at the man in the official robe.
"Wang Shusheng, we are now grasshoppers in the same boat, once our affairs fail, the four of us will have a good end."
"The three of us will fall to the ground, and you, as a pretending to be an official of the imperial court, are likely to be sentenced to Ling Chi."
Ling Chi's two words, the frightened Wang Shusheng's body trembled.
"Don't worry, I understand, even if I die, I won't tell us about it."
The middle-aged scribe nodded in satisfaction and invited Wang Shusheng to take a seat with a smile.
The beautiful woman, with a false smile, poured a cup of tea for her.
Wang Shusheng, who received this kind of treatment for the first time, felt flattered.
thanked the beautiful woman again and again.
The big man who was not used to seeing it snorted coldly, squinted his eyes and said unpleasantly:
"Hmph, Wang nerd, you also drank the tea, and you also made the chair, now it's time to say what to do?"
The middle-aged scribe and the beautiful woman also looked at Wang Shusheng, waiting for his solution.
Wang Shusheng, who was just a little fluttering, was pulled back by a strong man's words.
With a dry laugh, he said to the three people: "When I was reading the information of the county government today, I saw an official document. ”
"Let you figure out a way, what are you talking about official documents!"
The man, who was a little irritable, slapped the table heavily.
Wang Shusheng, who was just about to say his thoughts, collapsed to the ground with a weak leg.
"Shanzi, shut up, wait for Mr. Wang to speak slowly, if you don't want to listen, just wait outside."
The glamorous and feminine glanced at the strong man, and hurriedly walked over and the middle-aged scribe helped Wang Shusheng up.
"Mr. Wang, don't blame, my brother is a little reckless, I scared you, the slave family is here to compensate you for my brother."
After picking up Wang Shusheng, the beautiful woman bowed apologetically.
"No, no, it's that I didn't sit down just now, don't blame this strong man."
How dare Wang Shusheng accept this gift, the three people in front of him, but the ruthless people who dared to kill the court officials and pretended to be the other party to take office, he didn't dare to offend.
Thinking that he was just selling a word, he was arrested by the three of them and became an official, Wang Shusheng was excited and scared.
I was excited that I could become an official without the imperial examination.
And what I'm afraid of is that once this matter is revealed, I am afraid that it will not end well, and at the lightest it will be exiled for 3,000 miles.
"Please keep talking, sir!"
The middle-aged scribe poured another cup of tea for Wang Shusheng, and asked Wang Shusheng to continue speaking with a smile.
After drinking a cup of tea and suppressing his mind, Wang Shusheng continued: "According to the official report, Longkou Town was hit by water thieves the day before yesterday, and all the fast arresters on duty at the government office were killed, and now there is no one to guard Longkou Town. Li Zheng and the village elders in the town are very worried about this, and hope that the county government will send people over again to continue to protect the territory and the people. ”
After listening to Wang Shusheng's story, the middle-aged scribe narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"You mean, send the nephew of the hundred households and the nephew of the thousand households to guard Longkou Town."
Wang Shusheng nodded.
"According to the regulations of the imperial court, if there is a vacancy on duty in the local government office, it needs to be assigned by the county order, and the local squire is not allowed to recommend the people of the town. Its purpose is to prevent the power of the imperial court from becoming the private property of each family. ”
After listening to Wang Shusheng's introduction, the beautiful woman asked with some anxiety: "Your method is really good, transferring them away from us can reduce the risk of exposure." But the question is, are they willing to go? After all, from a bustling county town to a remote township, I don't want to change it! ”
"Hehe, they'll go."
After listening to Wang Shusheng's thoughts, the middle-aged scribe smiled slightly and explained to the beautiful woman: "In the yamen, the position of the yamen is very popular. ”
"In the yamen, they have to be controlled every day, and the money they get has to be distributed to their superiors, and they want to eat an overlord meal when they go out, and they have to worry about meeting people they shouldn't mess with."
"But when you get to the yasho, it's different. There they are the heads, from the squires to the common people, all under their control. ”
"This kind of life of the emperor of a land is something that many officials can dream of."
"I even heard that every time the yamen apportions the yamen to arrest the yasto, the county order and the head arrester are to see who takes the money and sends whom."
After the strong man and the beautiful woman understood, the middle-aged scribe continued: "Although these two guys have a background, they are young people in the end, and they can't stand the restraints. If they knew that there was such a good opportunity, to go out freely and happily, and it was too late to be happy, how could they refuse. ”
"The important thing is that if they go and then encounter the water thieves and are killed, that day Lingwei's attention will be all on the water thieves and ignore our existence."
The strong man and the beautiful woman, listening to the middle-aged scribe's analysis, showed joy on their faces.
"I knew you had a way!"
The glamorous woman stood up even more excitedly and kissed the middle-aged scribe fiercely.
The beauty offered a fragrant kiss, and the middle-aged scribe showed a smug expression.
"Of course, you don't look at who I am? This kind of small difficulty, I can solve it by thinking of a way. ”
Wang Shusheng, who was sitting on the side, looked at the three people with happy faces, and sighed helplessly.
The duty of the government office is indeed very popular, but this is just for ordinary fast arresters.
Li An and Zhang Wen are not ordinary fast catchers, and the fragrant bait of the government office may not be so attractive to the two.
As for the method that the scribe thought of borrowing a knife to kill people, Wang Shusheng was even more speechless.
If the water thieves really killed those two people, it is estimated that Tian Lingwei's side will definitely use a few of them as punching bags before dealing with the water thieves.
The more he thought about it, the more helpless he became, and Wang Shusheng secretly made a decision in his heart
You must get rid of these three fools as soon as possible, if you don't get out quickly, maybe one day you will be exposed, and your little life will be gone.
