Chapter 086: Go back to prison
Only then did Chen Cao speak: "I still say the same thing, I can go to the Yamen, but according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this girl must be handed over to the Qiantang County Yamen for trial, and the Inspection Department is not qualified." ”
Liu Youwei saw that Chen Cao was talking about the Tao, so he thought that he must be a talent or a person, otherwise which family would be familiar with such things as Da Ming Law, and besides, there are so many onlookers and people, naturally he can't lose his face, and he also has some calculations in his heart: "What you said makes sense, but you, a flat-headed common man, bumped into the official for no reason, and after the Qiantang County Government is done, the official will find you to settle accounts, come to someone, and escort these people to the county government." ”
Chen Cao held his head high, gave Zhao Messenger a look, and then followed the official to the county office, and on the way, he vaguely heard the head of the team and the official discussing how to wait for the county government to clean up their words.
Qiantang County Yamen is very close to the West Lake, and the prefect's Yamen is two opposite rivers, Zhejiang Sansi Yamen is on its right side, Chen Cao has just stepped into the county Yamen with his front foot, and the head of the back foot will carry a water and fire stick and hit him on the back knee socket.
This blow really caught him off guard.
Zhao Xin was about to have a seizure, but the officials behind him rushed up and threw Zhao Xin to the ground.
Because this blow was too sudden, Chen Cao fell forward by inertia, and his years of military career made him pounce in pain, and when he was about to turn over and fight back, the head of the team was a stick on the back of Chen Cao's head.
"Uncle... Uncle..."Zhao Xinsi shouted: "You gang of killers, this is the governor of Zhejiang, Dingwubo, you want to die?" ”
The team leader sneered: "Qincha, hehe... Go out with two people, if you are a messenger, Lao Tzu is the prince of the country, call me..."
When Chen Cao woke up, there was a straw under him, and then there was a suffocating and unpleasant smell: "Ahem... it..."
"Uncle..."Zhao Xin dragged his injuries to Chen Cao's side and helped Chen Cao up: "Uncle, are you okay?" ”
"I'll rub..." Chen Cao reached out and touched the back of his head, and actually swollen a big bag, if it weren't for his young and strong body, he might have really beaten the back of his head into a fool: "Zhao Xin, what about your fucking waist card?" ”
Not to mention, it's such a coincidence, today Zhao Xin and Chen Cao went out in casual clothes, and the waist card was forgotten by him in the official uniform: "The subordinates didn't bring it, uncle, you can rest assured, after going out, the subordinates will definitely destroy them." ”
The county government cell is dim and damp, which is estimated to be the consistent feature of all county offices in the Ming Dynasty, and there are still a lot of prisoners in the prison. And Chen Cao and they are locked up in a general prison, usually the prisoners who live in a single room are either death row prisoners or have a relationship, like Chen Cao, who has no identity, only a share of the shop.
Looking at Zhao Xin's blue and purple everywhere, Chen Cao didn't sigh: "It's quite cost-effective for me to take this stick," Zhao Xin was puzzled, Chen Cao continued: "If I am awake, it is estimated that the injury is as serious as you, lucky..."
Zhao Xin's face turned blue, and he thought to himself where he could think like this.
While he was talking, the door of the prison opened, and the team led by the jailer walked into the prison, and taunted Chen Cao in front of the prison door: "When I enter the yamen, I have the final say on everything, if you don't cooperate, hehe, if the family members go out sideways when they come to collect people, then the reason will not be found." ”
Zhao Xin was about to scold, but Chen Cao stopped him, because he suddenly found that the green skin that Zhao Xin beat was behind him, and then arched his hand and said, "This lord, if you have any requirements, just mention it." ”
"It's easy to say," the head of the squad is just a clerk, and it is very useful to be called an adult: "Your eldest follower beat this young man, and the cost of the decoction and medicine will be compensated." ”
"Compensation, how much, my lord, you say, don't hide it, in the next family is a wealthy businessman in Jinling, as long as the adults don't blame us in the past, the money is a trivial matter." Chen Cao's face was doggy.
His appearance is very funny in the eyes of the team leader, but it also proves the team leader's idea, Chen Cao is a wealthy businessman, and he just goes out to fight unevenly.
Of course, no one is at a loss for money.
"The cost of the young man's soup and medicine is three hundred taels of snowflake silver." The squad leader said coldly.
"Okay, no problem, three hundred taels is three hundred taels." Chen Cao agreed: "My lord, but there is more?" ”
"And you deliberately contradicted the official, this crime is punishable by one year in prison according to the law of the Ming Dynasty..."
"I know it's wrong..."Chen Cao interrupted the words of the team leader, and then gave his hand very politely: "It's the fault of the next, and the young and vigorous under the bottom, I hope that the adults will not be surprised, and I am willing to offer two hundred taels of Chengyi to apologize." ”
The head of the team was full of joy, as far as his salary was concerned, it was only two dollars of silver a month, and it was less than two taels a month to swagger and cheat everywhere, and he earned two hundred taels in one go, and he must have made a lot of money, so he brought some smiles: "Well, you know each other very well, your injury..."
"It's not as good as hitting yourself in prison, hehe..."Chen Cao smirked.
The team leader was very satisfied: "How to contact your family?" ”
Chen Cao wanted this, so he gave his hand: "Don't dare to deceive the adults, there is a fleet in Zhejiang this time, and today because I am young, I have collided with the adults, as long as the adults let me go back with the captain, and go up to the fleet to withdraw money." ”
The team leader looked at Zhao Xin's appearance seriously, and then looked at Chen Cao's dog-legged appearance, so he nodded happily: "Forgive you for not being able to play any tricks, Zhao San, you will go back with him to get the money." ”
The green skin nodded: "Okay, big brother." ”
Zhao Xin was about to refuse, but Chen Cao patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhao, my son, my safety is all on you, go back quickly and get the money to protect me, if it's too late, I will definitely want you to look good when I go back." ”
Messenger Zhao was surprised, and then nodded: "Childe rest assured." ”
Seeing Zhao Xin being taken out, Chen Cao felt relieved, because it would soon be his turn to take revenge, and the team leader said something to let him wait, and then took people away.
The commode is not far from Chen Cao's left side, the smell is really unpleasant, and then look at the people curled up in the prison, all of them are looking at him dirty, Chen Cao is curious, so he asked the only woman in the prison: "Girl, why did you come to this prison?" ”
The woman was huddled together, trembling and not daring to talk, and there were four or five men in the prison, and the woman must have been insulted in the prison.
"Hey..."Chen Cao sighed, silently reciting that the classification of ancient prison cells was not so strict, male and female prisoners were locked together, and the jailers had to be detained separately and had to give benefits to the jailers, otherwise they would have no money and no power and could only be bullied and humiliated by other prisoners in the prison, which was also a bad thing.
Chen Cao had nothing to do, stood up and turned around in the cell, and then suddenly became interested, and said: "It is when the gods have something to do, and they come to the south to step on the fragrant branches, the green pines are angry to the sky, and the fallen leaves are running with the blue water..."
Chen Cao only remembered these few sentences, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion after reading them.
"Good..."
A cheer came from inside the cell, and then he said: "Good poem, but it only sounds like the upper half, where is the lower part?" ”
The voice reminded this person's youth, and Chen Cao said: "I feel it, I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk about it later." ”
"Brother Tai, you are so talented, why did you go to prison and suffer?"
This person spoke reasonably, and could understand Chen Cao's poems, so he guessed that this person was also a person who had read books, so he replied: "Brother Tai, it seems that you are also a person who has read books, why are you imprisoned?" ”
"Hey, it's hard to put into words...", and then fell silent.
"Dare to ask my brother's name?" Chen Cao asked again.
It took a long time to answer: "In Xia Huang Chunyao, the words are born..."
"Huang Chunyao," Chen Cao pondered silently, there were so many talented scholars in the late Ming Dynasty, how did he know who this person was, so he nodded: "Brother Huang, what did you do?" ”
Huang Chunyao sighed again, and did not answer.
Chen Cao didn't get an answer, so he walked around the prison, and one of the prisoners in the prison suddenly stood up, walked straight to the woman curled up in the corner in front of Chen Cao, took off his pants, and then reached out to grab the woman.
The woman cried, how could Chen Cao endure such torture.
Ma De Lao Tzu has never been on how to let you go.
"Stop..."Chen Cao burst into tears, now there is something to see, the prisoners in each cell crowded to the wooden fence to watch the scene on the side of Datong Prison.
The prisoner turned his head to look at Chen Cao, and then continued to move his hands and feet, and pressed the woman under him.
"What a dog said..."
Chen Cao saw that the guy was about to enter the hole, so he stepped forward at the moment of crisis, gave the guy a blow to sweep the hall, kicked the guy on the head with a strong kick, and kicked it out with a kick.
As soon as the guy landed, the three remaining prisoners in the prison stood up together and rushed towards Chen Cao, who was unable to do so because he was knocked with a stick, but he was also a person who survived several battles, so where would he be afraid of these green-skinned gangsters who were holding on to Datong Prison.
In only three rounds, the remaining three were all beaten by Chen Cao and lay on the ground crying for their father and mother.
Chen Cao took off his outer robe, it was still cold in the middle and end of October in Jiangnan, so he took off his robe and stepped forward to cover the woman: "Don't be afraid, girl, you're fine." ”
The woman put on her outer robe, then knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Cao: "Thank you, son... Thank you, Childe..."
Boom...
With a loud bang, the cell door was violently kicked open, and the two jailers guarding the door were about to ask, when they saw a group of people breaking in, led by Zhao Xin who was wearing a flying fish suit.
"Is the face familiar?" Zhao Xin stared at the two jailers coldly: "You two, when you came in, one of you beat the official with a stick, someone came, one person with a hundred sticks, you are lucky to live, the official is not to blame in the past, he died, hehe..."
The two jailers fainted.
Zhao Xin walked towards the inside of the prison with a large group of brocade guards carrying knives, and went straight to Chen Cao's Datong prison.
"Uncle..."Zhao Xin shouted, and the entire prison looked sideways: "How to deal with this guy." ”
The lieutenant suddenly pulled in two people, namely the green-skinned Zhao San and the official who followed, both of whom were already drooping their heads, and looked carefully covered in blood.
"Open the door first, Lao Tzu stinks to death..."Chen Cao frowned and said.
"My lord...", the woman hugged Chen Cao's leg: "My lord, help, the women are wronged, the women are wronged..."
Chen Cao was in a good mood, because he was going to take revenge, and he couldn't see these women crying right now, so he stopped Zhao Xin, who was about to pull the woman away: "Ben Bo Ming Ming Wu Bo Chen Cao, if what you did was wronged, I will make the decision for you today." ”
As soon as Huang Chunyao heard that it was Chen Cao, he immediately rushed to keep the wooden fence and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, student Huang Chunyao, please help me..."
Chen Cao heard that the person who praised his poem just now was good, so he said: "Come on, go and take Huang Chunyao out, Ben Bo will be tried in this Qiantang County Ya today, to see how honest this county magistrate is." ”
"Thank you, uncle, for your kindness... Thank you, uncle, for your great kindness..."The woman kowtowed again and again.
The entire Qiantang County Ya has become a pot of porridge at this moment, and Zhang Fengnian's family Ding team in charge of the guard has occupied the entire county Ya, and there are soldiers with flintlock pistols on their backs inside and out, because of this scene, the onlookers have formed a human wall.
Qi Shangwen, the magistrate of the county, saw Chen Cao last night, because he drank too much wine and was sleeping in the house in the backyard of the county government, even so, he was directly brought out by Zhao Xin from the concubine's bed, and he slapped two big ear scrapers in a row, and he was dizzy from being beaten.
All the officials of the county government were escorted in the lobby by the brocade guards, Chen Cao touched the back of his head and walked in, Qi Shangwen hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The lower officials have seen Uncle Dingwu." ”
Chen Cao didn't respond, so he went straight to the seat of the magistrate and sat down, and then patted the shocked wood: "Qi Zhixian, do you recognize Benbo?" ”
Qi Shangwen was slapped twice for no reason, coupled with the battle of Jinyiwei, he wondered if his black crime had been discovered: "Xiaguan... Xiaguan... Recognize Dingwubo. ”
"Recognize, it's okay, Ben Bo will deal with the others first, you can give Ben Bo a good look, don't say that Ben Bo has wronged you then." Chen Cao said coldly: "Zhao Xin, bring all the people who beat Benbo first." ”
The head of the squad and several officials were dying at the moment, and they were speechless when they were taken to the court.
"Qi Zhixian, Benbo today..."Chen Cao told Qi Shangwen everything he saw and heard on the street, and Qi Shangwen trembled in fright: "I don't know if Qi Zhixian knows what this thief said, 'He has the final say when he enters the yamen'?" ”
"Uncle Dingwu, Xiaguan... Xiaguan..."
"Okay," Chen Cao waved his hand: "You little official dares to call yourself the prince of the country, you are really daring, and you dare to knock on Benbo's stick, which is really hateful." Qi Zhi County, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how should this person be judged? ”
"Xiaguan..." Qi Shangwen trembled again and again, and he couldn't speak well, so he looked at the county Cheng.
The county is also old, and he is afraid of being implicated at the moment, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Qi Yu Ding Wubo, pretending to be a court official and a nobleman, should be sentenced to exile according to the law, and beating the court officials and nobles should be... When the distribution of three thousand miles or the army. ”
Zhao Xin shook his head: "Can you see the injuries on the official's body clearly?" ”
The county Cheng looked up at Zhao Xin's face red and purple, and was frightened: "Die..."
Zhao Xin shook his head again: "You are wrong, you beat the ministers of the imperial court for no reason, beat the Jinyi guard, intended to rebel, and beheaded all over the house." ”
"Spare your life... Spare your life..."
The squad leader and several officials all shouted weakly, but with little effect.
