Chapter 41: The Scholars of the Yuanzhou Prison
Wonju Prison.
Two sturdy jailers were pressing a man who looked like a scholar, and the cell boss himself carried the board and hit the man on the ass with a "snap". The man was in pain, and fine sweat was soaked in the corners of his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and did not cry out.
After the cell boss finished beating the board, he asked hatefully, "Say, who has been instructed by anyone to dare to pretend to be a chincha? I think you've eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall!"
"I'm the Chincha!" The scholar said word by word.
"Look at your weak and can't help but eat, sneaking into the granary is clearly trying to steal the imperial grain! Dare to pretend to be a chincha! I think you're a people who don't know whether to live or die!" As he spoke, the cell boss hit the board again.
The scholar was so painful that he almost lost his breath, but he still gritted his teeth and scolded: "I see that you are used to prisons, it seems that Yuanzhou Mansion is indispensable to be unjustly tortured!"
"You're a good ...... You're a bent! I'm going to let you take a good look at what it means to be beaten today!" The cell boss was angry and went down again, "Say, who instructed? What is the picture?"
The scholar struggled so much that he had no choice but to press harder on the two officials, so he simply gave up the struggle, and said firmly: "I am ordered by the emperor to ......."
"Bold! When death is on the verge of death, you still have a hard mouth!" The cell boss raised his board in the air again.
This time, before he could fall, he heard a loud shout: "Stop!"
Lu Yu almost ran in, he ran in front of the scholar in three steps and two steps, squatted down to take a look, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quickly help Master Wen up!" And he hurriedly advised, "Slow down, be careful!" There was a slight tremor in my voice.
The scholar who was called Master Wen was carefully helped up, only to see that his hair was messy, his face was covered with cold sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to his pale face, which was very embarrassing.
Lu Yu was angry and anxious, but he had a gentle temperament, and the whole person trembled slightly under the anger, but he couldn't speak.
His cronies have been with him for many years, and at this time, he slapped the cell boss in the face with a backhand, and scolded: "Presumptuous! This is Lord Wen Jinnuowen, the young secretary of Dali Temple! How dare you torture him!" Then he called to the officials, "Take these men down!"
"Really...... What a chase!" Only then did the cell boss wake up and know that he had caused a big disaster, so he knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy. The two jailers who helped to press people were also frightened, and they forgot to beg for mercy for a while, so they were held down by the officials.
Wen Jinnuo raised his eyes and saw that it was Lu Yu, he seemed to be relieved, and called him in a dumb voice: "Yuanli."
Lu Yu's eyes were full of worry, and he took two quick steps, wanting to help him with his own hands, but he stopped him halfway, changed to a bow, bowed and said, "Lord Wen, I'm ...... The slave is too late."
"Why do you bother ......" Seeing him like this, Wen Jinnuo wanted to say something but held back, and finally only turned into a sentence: "Go, follow me to Bingshancang."
"You body!" Lu Yu grabbed him worriedly, and quickly withdrew his hand, "You go back and rest, I'll go to Bingshan Cang."
"I can't die, let's go!" Wen Jin made a promise and limped out of the prison.
Still so stubborn.
Lu Yu shook his head and hurriedly followed. A few times, he saw Wen Jinnuo walking hard and wanted to reach out to help, but he took it back in time before he touched him. In the end, he simply clenched his fists, put his hands behind his back, and followed him half a step away. ….
How did Wen Jinnuo come to Yuanzhou? He is the eldest son of the Wen family in Yunzhou, and he is a young doer who has won the trust of the emperor, Lu Yu can't think of any reason for him to wade into the troubled waters of Yuanzhou.
Wen Jinnuo was hit by a few boards, although he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, his buttocks were really painful, and he couldn't ride a horse. When he got into the carriage, he could only lie on his stomach.
The carriage swayed towards Bingshan Cang.
One was lying on his stomach, and the other was sitting quietly by the window, neither of them spoke.
The cronies hurried back to their homes to get the ointment and rushed into the carriage. Lu Yu held the light cyan ointment porcelain jar and pinched his sleeves, feeling a little at a loss for a while.
Wen Jinnuo exhaled lightly, "It's okay, I'll do it myself." After a pause, he said, "I'm so ugly."
Lu Yu tightened his fingers and said, "It's not ugly. It's me...... Slaves and maids are not good at touching adults."
Wen Jinnuo frowned, turned his head, looked at Lu Yu seriously, and said, "Lu Yu."
This is the first time that Wen Jinnuo did not call him Yuanli. Lu Yu coughed lightly and replied respectfully, "Yes."
Wen Jinnuo was sullen, shook his head, and said, "You don't want to be like this. We are classmates, we are close friends, we have been, we have always been."
Lu Yu lowered his head, didn't dare to look at him, sank for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Wen...... Don't say anything like that again. Slaves...... Don't dare, and don't deserve it."
Wen Jinnuo choked back by his words, and suddenly felt that not only his buttocks hurt, but his head began to hurt, he pillowed his head on his arms, and said sullenly, "Don't you dare to do anything? Don't you dare to be friends with me again?"
Unworthy of what? Don't deserve to be in the company of scholars anymore?
The latter sentence, Wen Jinnuo still didn't say it after all.
Lu Yu lowered his head, looked respectful, and did not speak.
Wen Jinnuo was defeated by his humble attitude, and said patiently, "You must be curious why I came." He laughed to himself, "I invited you. You are now trapped in the bureau of Yuanzhou, with no one to trust and no one to rely on. If anyone can help you, it's me!"
"Lord Wen!" Lu Yu interrupted him, and he decided to escape as always, and said, "Master Wen wait, I'll call someone to give you medicine."
"Lu Yu!" Wen Jinnuo shouted angrily, "You know, you were ......" He stopped, unwilling to continue talking about this topic, and gasped in pain, and then said, "At that time, I really wanted to see your injuries, I wanted to help you with medicine, and I wanted to comfort you a few words. But I didn't dare. My father and my teachers won't let me either."
Lu Yu closed his eyes, did he mean that he had just been tortured and castrated? It's better that he didn't come to see him, and if he did, I'm afraid he would be more willing to die.
Wen Jinnuo said seriously: "You are the person I regard as frost and snow, and you are my confidant in this life."
He knew Lu Yu too well, a sensitive and gentle reader, and he didn't want others to see his unbearable appearance.
The teacher once said that if he was smart enough to care about him, it would only hurt Lu Yu, throwing his self-esteem on the ground and trampling on him repeatedly. So he didn't go. Even later, when he saw him from afar in the palace several times, Wen Jinnuo didn't say hello.
But he admires Lu Yu's talent and style, and he has never changed, and he will never give up this friend. ….
It's just that their "reunion" may need an opportunity.
This time, knowing that Lu Yu was trapped in Yuanzhou and could not return to Beijing for a while, Wen Jinnuo felt that he could make a move, so he came.
He arrived in Yuanzhou faster than Qincha's large team, did not bring servants to escort him, changed into ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and mixed with the porter's team into Bingshan Cang.
If you want to get trustworthy clues, you must take them by surprise and take people first.
He did find something suspicious about Bingshancang, but he was also arrested as a rebel and imprisoned. He knew very well that only by making the news out could his own guards have news to save him.
But what he didn't expect was that it was Lu Yu who came to save him first. So much so that now he has to lie on his stomach in a cold sweat and face his friend in embarrassment.
Anyway, he was so embarrassed, looking at his friend's awkward appearance, he simply said the words hidden in his heart directly.
It's just that he wasn't sure of Lu Yu's attitude. Comparing his heart to his heart, he knew too well that Lu Yu had plummeted from a scholar to a eunuch with a psychological gap and inferiority.
He stopped talking, trembling slightly from the pain.
Lu Yu was silent for a long time, suddenly sighed, slowly removed the lid of the ointment, and said in a low voice: "Where has Gongzi Wen suffered from this, don't move, if it hurts too much, you can shout, I don't laugh at you."
Wen Jinnuo was stunned, buried his head in his arm, and laughed sullenly.
Maybe they can't let go of it in one day, but he believes that with this good start, when the affairs of Yuanzhou are properly handled, there will be time to get along slowly in the future, and they may one day be able to return to the time when they were reading with candles, talking about the past and the present, and talking about everything.
