Chapter 333: Opening the Prison Door
If I don't hand over my head within three days, my son will be hopeless, and today is the second day of the allotted day. She said, and changed her name again, Mr. Wang is righteous and squandered money, and it is time to rescue my son, and the old woman will no longer drag you down. She knelt down again, and Mr. Wang helped her up again, saying that why should the eldest lady be so generous, and it is the responsibility of Mr. to rescue the disciple.
Mr. Wang quickly helped Zhang on the horse's back, turned the horse's head and left, and settled Zhang in the people's homes on the other side of the mountain, only to rescue Chunlong, and then come to pick her up for another livelihood. Zhang's thousand thanks saw him leave the village on a prancing horse and gallop north.
Xia Juhua, who left her mother-in-law, rushed to Shaxian County and reached out to people to ask for silver in tears. Some people only looked at her, and did not comfort her, and talked about it.
The streets were full of cars and horses, bustling with people, and before she knew it, it was noon, and there were fewer people who gave charity and pity her. The sky was covered with dark clouds again, obscuring the winter sun, which was as yellow as a pickled egg. The wind blew extremely cold, and her chapped fingers reached into the broken silver that she had earned in the morning, a small nest, only more than twenty taels, and there were still more than fifty taels.
She was hungry and anxious, and suddenly saw a white horse standing in front of her feet, and a somewhat familiar young master turned over on the horse's back. Oh, by the way, last time, I met him at the foot of a hill when I was delivering food to the school, and yes, he had a black mole at the base of his left ear.
Xia Juhua ignored him, tilted his head sideways, but he walked around to his side, and said, Hey, the road is narrow. She said with tears in her eyes, Young Master Liu, my husband is in a lawsuit, and now he is begging for a little silver, and he just wants to get four hundred taels to buy the county government and reduce his punishment.
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, pretended to be bold, and said with a smile, Ho ho, your husband wants four hundred taels of silver to atone for his sins, and I, Liu Pinhua, am the God of Wealth within a radius of 100 miles, some are silver, don't say 400, even 4,000, 40,000. Young Master Liu saw that she was silent, and wanted to avoid it, so he said, do you want to give you four hundred taels of silver? Chrysanthemum only glanced at him, still silent.
To be or not to be? Young Master Liu looked at her in a daze and asked.
If the young master has the heart to subsidize, the poor girl doesn't need four hundred, only fifty-five taels is enough. Xia Juhua said this, but she didn't look at him squarely.
Make, make. Liu Pinhua stretched out her hand and touched one of her clothes, and said, alas, I didn't put any silver on my body, you come with me to Liujia Village to get it. Chrysanthemum hesitated. He patted his horse on the back and rode very fast, quickly. Chrysanthemum was eager to save her husband, and only said that if the young master coaxed the poor woman, he should be thundered and burned.
Oh, if I coax you, it should be cut with a thousand cuts. He urged her to get on the horse and get behind, he rode a little ahead, and with a whip, the white horse rushed out of the city gate, and arrived at Liujia Village in only half an hour.
The sky was overcast, and Chrysanthemum followed him into the courtyard with fear, and a pair of stone lions in front of the courtyard stared into the distance without looking back. The courtyard is planted with metasequoia, kapok, walnut, begonia and other flowers and trees in an orderly manner, but the flowers and leaves are withered. Passing through the middle hall, he followed Young Master Liu to the door of a side room, and Young Master Liu opened the door to let her in.
Need not. As she spoke, she threw the package over her shoulder, and continued, Young Master Liu, if you don't speak properly, the poor woman will leave immediately.
Count, wait a minute, and I'll go and get the money. After Young Master Liu finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the back of the wing, returned after a while, held a nest of silver in his hand and shook it in front of her, and said Jiao Niang, as long as you come in and talk to me, this hundred taels of silver will be yours.
Is there anything different to say here?
Come on in, I met you last time on that mountain trail and I've been thinking about you ever since. His eyes looked straight at her and she said, and he pointed to a red-lacquered chair in the room: Come, sit here.
Chrysanthemum wanted to scold him, but she felt that it was not the right time, she was worried about her husband who was imprisoned in prison, and she just wanted to leave early after getting the money, because of the Tao, the poor woman was just a fireworks and obscene, what was there to worry about Young Master Liu. She walked into the room as she spoke, if Young Master Liu really took pity on the poor woman, he didn't care about this charity, and the poor woman could save it every day and repay it according to the amount.
Young Master Liu immediately closed the door, buckled the tie, and tied a copper lock. Seeing that the door was closed, Chrysanthemum slammed the door anxiously and scolded, and the cheeky Young Master Liu couldn't stop laughing, and was about to hug her, but was pushed away by a palm. Chrysanthemum was cowardly in the end, and he didn't taste a few meals of water and rice, and he was caught upside down by his hands and tied with a piece of hemp rope. She cried hoarsely, let go of me, let go of me.
Liu Dakun's family was shocked, and a young lady poked through the window on tiptoe, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, but she didn't dare to say half a bad word about Young Master Liu.
Wang Zimin rushed to a city in the north where Yang Chunlong was in charge, it was late at night, the city gate was closed, he tied his horse under the city wall, jumped over the city wall, grabbed a husband and asked the prison where it was, and soon leaned under the wall of a gloomy prison. He woke up a jailer who was sitting by the door and was napping, shouted, hand over the cell key, the old man will spare you from death.
This jailer was Wu Liangxin, and when he saw a big old man raise his fists on his head, he was so frightened that he took out the key.
Open the cell door for me and release Yang Chunlong, quickly. Wang Zimin urged.
Wu Conscience was helpless, so he had to open the door and lock it in, and lead Yang Chunlong to the prison door for a while. Under the candlelight, Yang Chunlong's face was sallow, and his skull was thin. Wang Zimin approached him and shouted, The disciple has been wronged, and he escaped from the sea of suffering with me.
Sir, I have not been able to clear my injustice, and my absconding will surely arouse the suspicion of the arraignator. It is better to clarify the facts after the murderer is arrested, and it is better for the disciple to come out innocently, so as not to disgrace the good reputation of the disciple of the gentleman, and the disciple will have no regrets even if he enters the spring platform by mistake. He then gave a detailed account of the causes and consequences of his wrongdoing.
Wang Zimin sighed with tears in his eyes, and today's officials, from top to bottom, are mediocre, who can do justice for you? I gave up literature and martial arts, and it has been more than half a year since I left the Xuan Xuan (Academy) to go to the Jingwu Pavilion. Recently, at the request of Ma Daoren of Luofu Mountain Monastery, I went to fight the law, passed by the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, met your mother, and said that you have a lawsuit, and I have come to help.
Is my mother alive? Yang Chunlong asked with wide eyes.
Wang Zimin told the truth about the placement of his mother, Yang Chunlong was inexhaustible, and he was sad, and then asked his wife Xia Juhua. Wang Zimin said, I heard your mother say that she paid eighty taels of silver to save you, and was begging on the street, I expected to meet her, but I didn't see her along the way, and I thought she had rushed to you. Now that the whereabouts of the disciple's wife are unknown, go out of the city with me overnight, and after finding your wife, you will practice martial arts with the old man to strengthen his body, and treat those who bully the weak and cruel the people.
Mr. is reasonable, but the disciple has a deep grievance, not reported at all, and the disciple does not believe that the whole world is full of faint officials, there are always some clean officials, if you are lucky enough to meet, once the grievances are avenged, the disciple will study the article again, and the fame will be achieved, not only to live up to the last wish of the deceased father, but also to live up to the teachings of the teacher. Although the teacher is advocating now, the disciple's ambition has been determined, and he hopes that the teacher Haihan. Yang Chunlong said as he respectfully bowed his hand.
The disciple's ambition is firm, commendable! When Wang Zimin was amazed, he took out two handfuls of silver from his body and put them in his pocket, saying that this was one hundred taels of silver, and hoped that the disciple would take care. Then he took his leave, returned to the city wall to untie the leash, jumped on the horse's back, and rode south.
