Chapter 8 My obedient little sister is gone
I'm going to set up a stage.
After Yi Ling took it, he took out the money bag from his arms and put some broken silver in Ruan Yuan's hand, "Come back early after the explanation, don't play any tricks." ”
"Yes, yes." Ruan Yuan smiled and nodded.
"After making a few clothes for yourself, you can watch what you are buying for your daughter's family with the rest of the money, if it is not enough, you let the boss keep the account first, and I will make up for it." Yi Ling instructed again.
Ruan Yuan checked the broken silver in his hand, there were eight taels of silver, he didn't expect this guy to be quite generous, and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
"Okay, then we'll meet at the gates of the city later." After Yi Ling finished speaking, he turned around and left with the basket on his back.
Ruan Yuan looked at Yi Ling, who disappeared into the boiling voices, hooked his lips and sneered, "Meet you in the prison!" ”
Ruan Yuan didn't stay any longer, he ran all the way in the direction of the mansion, ran to the yamen, and didn't bother to take two breaths, so he beat the big drum at the door with a "bang".
This daylight drumming and resounding grievances soon attracted crowds of onlookers.
As the yamen opened, a group of officials in dark blue robes walked out, led by a young man, dressed in red and black, with a large word "catch" embroidered on his chest.
Wheat-colored skin, eyes are resolute and cold, the left eye is covered by half an iron mask, and the complexion is also unusually cold, which makes people can't help but shiver and be scared at a glance.
Nan Qi asked sharply, "Who is playing the drum?" ”
Seeing that someone was coming, Ruan Yuan hurriedly threw down the drumstick in his hand, glanced at the leader, it seemed to be a new move, he didn't even know her, and knelt on the ground again, "My lord, the little woman has a grievance." ”
"What grievance?" Nan Qi looked down at Ruan Yuan who was kneeling in front of him, and after seeing Ruan Yuan's appearance clearly, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, the face of the city! No, it's impossible, the Human Face City is already an empty city, and the face made by the Human Face City has a shelf life, and it can only be kept for half a year at most.
He also counted the people in the city, only one woman was missing, could it be the girl in front of him, no, he clearly saw that the girl was taken away, and the girl was not like this.
And although that face has the same enchanting atmosphere, there are still some differences, such as her eyes are full of desire, which is different from those eyes of the same person in the city, those eyes are from Huayue Pavilion, but there is no charm, and the face of the person who changes the face is stiff, like a puppet, and he can't make too many expressions.
"Someone robbed the people's girls in broad daylight!" Ruan Yuan opened his mouth angrily, "Please also ask the adults to be aware of it, and give the little woman a fair look!" ”
Ruan Yuan's words were full of sighs at the bottom, and there was a man in black standing in the crowd of onlookers, carrying a basket on his back, clasping his hands, looking at this scene with a smile, he knew that this bean sprout didn't hold back any good fart!
After Ruan Yuan followed the officials in, Yi Ling followed closely and walked out of the crowd, and the whispering crowd below slowly dispersed.
Ruan Yuan was taken to the hall and knelt in the public hall in a proper manner, accompanied by the "mighty" sound of the stick hitting the ground, Wang Lian, the prefect of Luoyang, sat on the desk chair while touching his round belly, and touched his beard and asked, "Who is in the hall?" ”
Ruan Yuan raised his head and looked at Wang Lian with a smile, "Lord Wang, it's small, me!" Ruan Yuan, Ruan Yuan from Chengdongkou, I gave you grape brewing last month. ”
Ruan Yuan and Wang Lian are old acquaintances, and Ruan Yuan and her brothers were also sent in two days because they did some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.
Wang Lian took pity on Ruan Yuan's miserable background, and he didn't do anything serious, and all he stole was the money of the "cancer" of the rich family in Luoyang City, which could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, so he didn't bother with Ruan Yuan, usually just hit a few boards, locked them up for a few days, and released them after making a show.
Last month, Ruan Yuan was also sent in for beating Zhao Qian, the son of the Zhao family.
That Zhao Qian often relied on his money to rob people's daughters, Ruan Yuan was beautiful, Zhao Qian had long been eyeing Ruan Yuan, and he had been entangled several times, insisting that Ruan Yuan be his concubine, and even took Ruan Yuan away from the stun at the expense of medicine.
Ruan Yuan had no choice but to coax Zhao Qian out with Chen Mazi and them, covered his face, pretended to be a robber, robbed him of all the valuable things, and beat him up again, knocking out Chen Qian's two front teeth before giving up.
As a result, before leaving, Feng Zhaocai's face towel accidentally fell and was recognized by Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian sued Ruan Yuan and the others to the government.
Later, Ruan Yuan made a deal with Wang Lian and helped him line up to buy the best grape wine in Luoyang City, and Wang Lian let her go as soon as he was happy.
Listening to Ruan Yuan mention this, Wang Lian is an official after all, and he openly accepts bribes, and he can't hang up his face, not to mention that there is still a Nan Qi from Chang'an standing next to him, assisting him in Nanqi, this Nanqi He has already heard of it, he is upright, iron-faced and selfless, and it is a thunderous means to handle a case.
Wang Lian coughed a few times, relieved the embarrassment, and said helplessly, "Why are you again, I said Ruan Yuan, Ruan Yuan, can't you let this official be idle for a few days?" ”
"Lord Wang, the little one has grievances!" Ruan Yuan hurriedly spoke.
Wang Lian picked up the teacup on the desk, tossed the tea a few times with the lid, and snorted disapprovingly, "It's unusual, in the past, others came to sue you, but today it is you who beat the drum and complained, I heard that you still robbed the people's daughters, and I don't know who can't think so?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even the officials standing on both sides couldn't help laughing.
Feed! Do you have such a talk? It was as if she was stumbling. "Lord Wang, the villain has no lies, just for this matter, the villain almost lost half of his life, you must be the master of the villain!"
"It's so serious, then you can talk carefully, and the official will definitely seek justice for you." Wang Lian took a sip of tea and smacked his lips again.
"Here's the thing, a few days ago, the villain heard that Wangyangshan accepted apprentices, and the little one went, how did he know that it was a big scam, the old man who looked at Yangshan, and his little apprentice bluffed me together, not only robbed me of all my money, but also forcibly drove the villain into the stone cave, so that the villain became their free labor, not only that, that day killed Yi Ling also used me as a bait for the snake demon, causing me to almost die, adult, you must be the villain!" As he spoke, Ruan Yuan kowtowed to Wang Lian again.
Wang Lian clasped his head and said, "The two masters and apprentices on Wangyang Mountain are the Taoist leaders of our Luoyang Town, who are also very charitable, and are deeply loved by the people, and this official has also seen them, how did they come to you, these two highly respected Taoist leaders have become so unbearable?" ”
"My lord, the villain's words are true, if there is half a lie, it will be thundered by the sky!" Ruan Yuan knelt on his lap and spoke earnestly.
"Okay, okay, this official believes what you said for the time being, it's just Xiao Yuan, the official has also heard about the matter of Wang Yang Mountain's apprenticeship, and your feet are not on other people's bodies......" Wang Lian's words were secretly saying that Ruan Yuan was on the mountain by himself, and he couldn't complain about others.
"It's right for me to go, but my lord! That's a high-risk profession, and if you're not careful, the villain will become the belly of those hateful monsters! Is this the loss of morality, or the annihilation of humanity? Ruan Yuan was angry when he heard this, and he was about to get up and reason with Wang Lian, "My lord, if you don't believe it, you can pass on Cai Jun and the others, they can all testify for the little one, and the old man Yang who sold the candy man, that day, the little man just listened to his words and went......
"Presumptuous!" Nan Qi, who was standing beside Wang Lian, shouted loudly.
Ruan Yuan has always been unruly, but seeing Nan Qi's appearance, as well as Wang Lian who didn't dare to speak and only knew how to scratch his head, Ruan Yuan knew in his heart that this new head catcher might have more power than Wang Lian, a fat man, thinking of this, Ruan Yuan had to kneel honestly.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, don't worry......" Wang Lian hurriedly relieved, and then beckoned, "Go and summon Yang Lao'er, Cai Jun and the others." ”
At this moment, another official hurriedly came in the door to report, "Lord Qiqi, there is a man outside the door who claims to be Yi Ling, the head of the small road in Wangyang Mountain, saying that he has lost his little junior sister and has come to ask for help. ”
What's going on? Wang Lian waved his hand helplessly, "Summoning him in." ”
Ruan Yuan was stunned for a moment, it's over, how did this dog thief know that she was here?
"My lord, Lord Wang~ My lord, you must help the grass people, my lord~" Before I saw Yi Ling, I heard Yi Ling's shout from a distance.
"Bold! Above the hall, no noise! "The official who led the way tried to stop Yi Zero's noise.
"Official, official, where is this prefect now? My little junior sister who is less than my shoulder height is gone, if she is taken away by some thief, how can it be good, oops, don't stop me, I want to see my lord, my lord~Lord Wang~" Yi Ling said as he pushed away the official beside him, carried the basket on his back, and trotted all the way to the hall.
Seeing that Yi Ling was "menacing", the officials hurriedly stopped Yi Ling with the sticks in their hands.
Yi Zero was blocked at the door, so he could only put his head in and roared with all his might, "My lord, my lord, the grass people are looking for you!" My lord, the grass people's new little sister who got a good sleep a few days ago is gone, I think it was taken away by some thief, you quickly dial some people with me, and go with me to find my poor little sister, sir......"
Wang Lian was yelled at by Yi Ling and had a real headache, so he waved his hand and asked the official to let Yi Ling in.
Yi Ling strode to Ruan Yuan's side, lifted the corners of his clothes, knelt down, and clasped his fists with both hands, "My lord, I can't afford to delay this matter, if my little junior sister has anything to do, how can I explain to her old mother who has bad legs and feet, my lord~"
An old mother with bad legs? Didn't this Ruan Yuan say that he was an abandoned baby and was raised by an old nun, where did the old mother come from, Wang Lian looked at Ruan Yuan, who was kneeling under the stage, and asked, "Ruan Yuan, you grew up in Daoqing Nunnery since you were a child, and the official didn't know that you still had an old mother, but you told the official, where did you get an old mother with bad legs?" ”
