Chapter 18: Jokes and Legal Debates (1)

I only heard the prefect's instructions: "You go outside and tell Yang Huaisheng: let him not be impulsive first!" The ...... of the prefecture The house has its own arrangement! ”

He is very clear about Yang Huaisheng's temperament, if this kind of person does not serve well, it is very likely that he will really do something that will kill him in front of the yamen. Yang Huaisheng's life is not worth mentioning to him, but if the Guozijian first loses the sacrificial wine and folds a pawn book, it will cause an uproar, making him, the prefect of Nanjing, on the cusp of the storm, difficult to get out.

Therefore, he hurriedly pushed a subordinate out and forced him to leave the study. The next person did not hesitate for a moment, hurriedly ran to the lobby, and looked at it, Yang Huaixian had thrown away his official robe, threw the clothes on Xia Yuanlong's shoulder, made full preparations, and stared straight at the coffin with a sharp horn.

"Wait! Yang Dianshu! The man was so frightened that his face turned white, and he took small steps down the stone steps and grabbed Yang Huai's hand.

"What is the opinion of the prefect? Say it! Yang Huaixian asked eagerly.

"You calm down first...... Let's put on the official robe first......"

As soon as Xia Yuanlong saw this situation, he understood the meaning of the prefect in his heart; He leaned into Yang Huai's ear, "I see that things are settled, so you can speak politely." As he spoke, he put on a robe for Yang Huaixian.

"Dare to ask the prefect what he has in mind?" Yang Huai rope pulled up his shirt and spoke respectfully.

"The prefect taught me to tell you that Mr. Wei is being taken care of well in the number room, and this matter is still being investigated, please go back for the time being. When the matter is investigated in detail, that is, when the water is clear, and then think about the opinions of everyone, won't the Wei sacrifice wine come out? ”

Yang Huaisheng and Xia Yuanlong looked at each other and said, "That means that the prefect has no reason to release Mr. Wei?" ”

"That's right, you should not be impatient, or think long-term."

"This ......" Yang Huaisheng was about to speak, but Xia Yuanlong took the lead and said: "That's good, that's good...... ......He secretly pulled Yang Huai's rope with his hand, then turned around and said to the people: "It will take a few days for the case of Wei Sacrificial Wine, and the prefect said that he will be released in a few days...... Disperse, disperse! ”

Yang Huaisheng looked back and saw that the people were all scattered listlessly. He looked at Xia Yuanlong angrily, Xia Yuanlong frowned at him, then turned his back and walked away.

"Xia Renying!"

Yang Huaisheng strode after him and shouted.

"Come here!"

Yang Huai pulled his clothes, Xia Yuanlong pressed him with his backhand, turned around and said, "You should be quiet first!" ”

"He clearly won't let Brother Wei Xian come out! Why are you still afraid!? If he wants to die or won't agree, can you tell me to hit the coffin again? ”

"Don't talk!" Xia Yuanlong was really angry, and sighed hurriedly, "Do you really want to go into the coffin?" If you want to save people, it's not like that! ”

"Then what are you trying to do when you coax the people to go to the yamen?" Yang Huaisheng asked.

"I wanted to use this to bluff the government, but they were unmoved, what could I do? Could it be that I am going to tear down the yamen? Rebel? I'm telling you, it's no good to be too hard! You fight to the death, once you can, you really force them to be anxious, you see what good things you can do! ”

"I'm ......" Yang Huaixian stomped his foot and shook his head.

"No matter what, your plan is not good every time anyway!" Yang Huaisheng continued, "You asked Wei Huai to write a letter, and he went into the cell; You brought the people to protest to the government with great fanfare, but the matter still didn't work out! ”

Xia Yuanlong silently grabbed the placket of his clothes and did not reply.

"It's okay now, you can't go to the palace to shout grievances to the prince, right?"

Xia Yuanlong raised his head suddenly, as if he had realized something, and looked at Yang Huaixian in dismay.

Yang Huaisheng was stunned.

"You go back to the country first," Xia Yuanlong patted him on the shoulder, "This matter is enough for Yuanlong alone." He smiled reassuringly, and Yang Huaixian didn't know why, so he froze in place and watched him run in the direction of Huaiqing Bridge.

Xia Yuanlong really went to Huaiqing Bridge. He walked under the bridge for a long time, but couldn't find the way, so when he saw someone, he asked, "Do you know where the troupe is open?" ”

But most of them are ordinary people, where do they get the money to hire a drama troupe? Therefore, I don't know. When Xia Yuanlong was distressed, he suddenly saw a temple on the other side of the river, and thought: This is the old Lang'an of the play? He walked quickly over the bridge.

He pushed aside the crowd and walked to the temple, and there were indeed three big characters on the plaque: 'Lao Lang'an'. This Lao Lang'an is the place where the actors deliberate, and whenever they need to discuss, they gather here. Today is just in time to worship the "ancestor master" day, so the temple outside the crowd of people, very lively.

Xia Yuanlong squatted aside, staring at the door of Lao Lang'an, and when he saw an old actor coming out there, he hurriedly stood up, stopped him and said, "This old man, you wait first!" ”

The man paused, looking at him suspiciously.

"It's called Xia Yuanlong, it's Hewei...... Sake ...... It is Wei Huai's Sihe Academy. Xia Yuanlong's tongue was not very sharp, and he himself was angry, why was he not very calm at such a critical juncture.

"What do you want to do?" He half-folded his arms, as if he was about to give the order to evict the guests.

He was so nervous that a few drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks, so he had to swallow his saliva and said, "I'm going to find Cai Xianqing next!" ”

The old actor's arm was slowly lowered. "Don't be in a hurry. Let's take it slowly. What are you looking for Mr. Cai? ”

"You should know about the arrest of the Guozi priest Jiu Weihuai, I came to ask Cai Xianqing for a favor."

"I see." He pointed to the street next to the Qinhuai River in the east: "Mr. Cai's house is there, you can find 'Cai Yu' carefully along the riverbank." ”

Xia Yuanlong exhaled a big sigh of relief and waved to him several times: "Thank you for showing me the way!" ”

He went around to the river houses to the east, and saw many of them standing on the side of the street, helping people sell their houses; Xia Yuanlong didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to the house with the 'Cai Yu' plaque. But after looking for a long time, the plaque was still missing. He stood anxiously in the middle of the street, and when a man saw that he was strange, he stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to rent a house?" ”

"No, I'm here to find Cai Xianqing, a famous actor here."

"This is the room." Fang Yazi looked at the towering building in front of him with its back against Qin Huai and white walls and green tiles, and said.

"Where's the plaque?" Xia Yuanlong asked in surprise.

"Lord Cai wants to be the house in this place, and he has moved elsewhere, so the plaque is removed."

"That'...... Where is this Cai Gong now? ”

"I don't know." Fang Yazi said.

Xia Yuanlong's back was sore and his legs were numb, and it took him a long time to rush to this realm, but he got such bad news, he couldn't help but be disappointed and his momentum was sluggish.

"No need to look for it, I'm right here."

Xia Yuanlong slowly turned his head and saw a forty-seven or eight-year-old actor smiling at him and said.
