Chapter 30: Saving Lives
"What?" Xu Xin asked eagerly.
Rouge stepped forward and grabbed Xu Xin's hands, and the adult girl tried to open her eyes, but she was born blind, and it was pitch black no matter what.
Rouge hurriedly explained: "It's a message sent by Childe's colleague in the Azure Dart Bureau. ”
Xu Xin anxiously tugged at the sleeves of the rouge, "How is that good?" The adult girls were about to cry, and there were tears in the corners of their eyes.
"Miss, don't worry! Let me call the handyman to inquire again! ”
Rouge tries to calm Xu Xin's emotions.
Then Rouge helped Xu Xin sit on a stool in front of the round table in the boudoir.
"Go!"
"Huh!"
Xu Xin anxiously urged Rouge, and then Rouge walked out the door to inquire about the news.
……
Along the way, Xu Changshou was ordered by the white-clothed man to have his hands tied, his mouth covered with a tight white cloth, and his eyes were also covered by a strip of black cloth. Saber is also not around, and it is almost impossible to escape by chance.
It wasn't until he was imprisoned in the Kyoto Prefecture prison that Xu Changshou realized that he had entered a den of thieves.
At night, the cold wind was bitter, Xu Changshou leaned against the cold stone wall, his hands and feet were chained, he stared blankly at the dazzling sunlight shining in from the window of the prison, a tattered straw mat on the ground, and a dirty and broken bowl with a missing mouth.
The two major snakes, cockroaches and rats, scurried past his heels unscrupulously, and his heart was inexplicably unsteady.
Xu Changshou breathed a sigh of relief, could it be that God concluded that he was going to be planted here today?
He looked at the other side of the cell door, there were many prisoners who had made mistakes and were half dead, but they didn't make mistakes. It can only be said that the reality still hasn't spared him, the lamb to the slaughter.
Especially after traveling through ancient times, you must be more cautious, life and death, only in the blink of an eye.
After a while, the sound of men talking outside the cell door was heard, and the chains were seen slipping off, and a jailer opened the door......
Behind him was the man in white, as well as the two family members, and a master bookkeeper.
In ancient times, the county government had three classes and six rooms, and for the main book of the torture room, the main responsibility was to be responsible for recording confessions and sorting out documents.
The jailer opened the door, retreated to the side with interest, and the man in white fanned his fan, looking at the ragged Xu Changshou in the corner of the cell and snorted.
The man in white commanded: "Bring people out!" ”
"Yes!"
The jailer walked into the cell and brought Xu Changshou out.
Suddenly, Xu Changshou was taken to a small dark room, where there was a yellowed wooden chair, and the jailer tied him to the chair.
"Childe, the person has been tied!"
The jailer replied to the boy in white, and then saw the boy in white waving his sleeves, and the family on the side handed the jailer a few taels of silver.
"Huh! Thank you, Childe! The jailer nodded, and left the room.
After the jailer left, the white-clothed boy took the long whip from the family's hand, held it in his hand and twitched it.
Xu Changshou bowed his head.
"Xu Changshou, the woman that my son likes has not been able to get it! With all kinds of torture tools at the moment, I think Xu Gongzi will be able to withstand it! ”
Then he threw out the whip and whipped it at Xu Changshou's body!
"Do you know who my dad is? When the imperial history of Taichung Cheng Liang! Don't investigate clearly, I'll let you be a hero to save beauty! ”
"You don't want to die!" Xu Changshou said in a low voice.
"Dare to be hard-mouthed!"
The whip was whipped on Xu Changshou's body, and he only felt a burst of pain.
"The king's book, what about the confession?"
The boy in white shouted to the king who recorded the confession next to him.
Master Wang stepped forward and presented a piece of paper to the man in white.
The man in white took the confession and put it in front of Xu Changshou.
"Look, what is this? This is your confession! You, Xu Changshou, molested women from good families in broad daylight, and I will let my father convict you of a felony! At that time, the frontier will be distributed, so that your life is worse than death. The man in white laughed.
Xu Changshou grinned: "How do you prove that I am molesting a woman from a good family?"
The white-clothed man then raised Xu Changshou's chin and said in a low voice: "Isn't it a matter of a few taels of silver to find a woman to identify you?"
Xu Changshou knew that there was almost no reason for the feudal society, and many local governments dealt with countless unjust cases every year, and he was not inferior to him.
In the process of being a scapegoat, who can know? He's just a drop in the ocean.
Thankfully, he saved a girl's dignity.
"Let him draw a charge!" The white-clothed boy said, and then handed over the confession to Wang Dianshu.
Wang Dianshu agreed for a moment, put the confession in front of Xu Changshou, and then instructed the jailer to fetch a red pen and ink.
……
Genrokuji Temple, majestic and magnificent, is located in the inner city of Kyoto, that is, the inner city, Kyoto has the inner and outer cities, most of the outer city is the common people and those who are slightly lower level officials, etc., the inner city is the location of some central institutions, as well as the imperial relatives and most of the high-level officials.
As one of the largest official organizations of the Great Xia Dynasty, officials were directly appointed and dismissed by the emperor, on the one hand, it was an evaluation organization for the performance of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty, and on the other hand, it existed in the form of a demon supervisor.
Its internal structure is complex, including Heavenly Masters, Gu Masters, Warlocks, Physicians, and Pharmacists. But they all have a common feature, they were directly dispatched by the Great Xia Emperor.
Xuanlu Temple, in a courtyard. The flowing water is murmuring, and Li Wu really drinks tea with the same female Confucian!
"Jingyang monks are also interested in coming to me?"
Li Wuzhen stroked his beard and ordered the celestial master wearing a flying fish suit and a hat on his head to bring tea. Then he said, "Sir, please!"
Jingyang monk Luo Huai'an joked: "The academy has its own senior brother to take care of it, why can't I come out to enjoy the old woman?"
Li Wuzhen laughed.
"Jingyang Jushi is really a crane-haired child!"
Li Wuzhen looked at the white-haired female Confucian in front of him and praised for a moment.
"The old woman has been in retreat for a long time, and I heard that the city of Kyoto was hit by a plague not long ago?" Luo Huaian asked.
"Humph! It's just a monster, the plague is a small matter, don't miss the holy heavenly sacrifice! ”
"It seems that Lord Li already has a good friend to help?" Jingyang Jushi smiled.
"Mr. Haoran is between heaven and earth, he really can't hide it! Don't hide it, this person's name is Xu Changshou, and he is a dart master of the Azure Dart Bureau! ”
Li Wuzhen replied.
"How can a mere dart master have such ability?" Jingyang Jushi wondered.
"If the gentleman had known this man, he would not have said that." Li Wuzhen smiled slightly, and the lid of the cup slammed against the rim of the cup.
At this moment, a celestial master wearing a flying fish suit hurriedly ran in, knelt under the main hall, and replied, "My lord, someone outside has sent something to your lord!"
"Who?" Li Wuzhen drank hot tea and asked the heavenly master.
"Lord Hui, he is a dart master, a dart master of the Azure Dart Bureau." After the teacher finished speaking, he presented a piece of paper to Li Wuzhen.
"Dart Master?" Li Wuzhen took a piece of paper handed by the Heavenly Master, stroked his beard, and opened it to read.
There was a note in the paperwork.
"This is? The document written by the official to Xu Changshou? ”
Li Wuzhen then looked at the note and began to read.
"Where's the dart master!" Li Wuzhen asked the heavenly master.
The Heavenly Master immediately replied: "The dart master sent the documents and left, only saying that Xu Changshou of the Azure Dart Bureau had a reluctant request!" I'd like to ask an adult to help! ”
Li Wu is really thoughtful!
"Someone! Prepare the horses! ”
As soon as Li Wuzhen finished speaking, the Jingyang monk on the side asked again: "Master Li is in a hurry?"
"It's just a private matter, it's not a rush matter! If there is anything wrong today, please take care of Jingyang residents! Li Wuzhen hugged his fists.
Luo Huai'an replied: "The old woman is just wandering around with nothing to do, Master Li doesn't have to care." I don't know who sent it? ”
Li Wuzhen then replied:
"It is Xu Changshou who is in the Azure Dart Bureau under the handover, this person is kind to me, and now this person has difficulties, and this official can't sit idly by."
"Isn't it the longevity of the big people? If this man is really as the adults say, the old woman will want to meet him for a while. Luo Huai'an said.
Li Wuzhen pondered for a moment, "It's this person, since the Jingyang monk is so interested, why don't you go with me?" ”
"That's very good, adults don't need horses, wait for me to summon out my Hanlin Tower."
I saw Jingyang Jushi take off in three steps, fly out of the door, wave his cuffs, and suddenly a pavilion appeared in mid-air, called Hanlin Tower, which is actually more like a suspended ark, majestic and solemn.
"It is worthy of my five Confucian products in Daxia, and the heroic spirit of Jingyang monks should sweep my entire Kyoto City!" Li Wuzhen was amazed, so he followed Luo Huai'an, a resident of Jingyang, to the top of the pavilion.
The eaves are protruding, such as the head of the dragon, and it is very solemn.
"The old woman is like this, but the fifth grade of Confucianism, Hanlin, is not a heroic spirit!" The female Confucian said euphemistically.
I saw that the Jingyang monk had a word, and the pavilion obeyed her wishes and flew towards the mansion of Lord Cheng Liang in Kyoto, the imperial history of Taichung, Kyoto, along the way was the heroic atmosphere left by Confucianism and Taoism.
In the pitch-black room, at this moment, Xu Changshou was still forced to paint, but he refused to live or die, no matter how the white-clothed man told the family to whip him.
The boy in white was very leisurely, sitting on a wooden chair, and another family member was hammering his shoulders and back, enjoying it very much.
"Childe, that Xu is very stubborn and stubborn, and he refuses to draw a charge!" The family put down the bloodstained whip and returned to his son-in-law.
The man in white turned to Xu Changshou and reached out to lift the young man's chin, and Xu Changshou quenched his face.
"Dogs fighting people!" Xu Changshou scolded in a low voice.
The white-clothed boy then said: "Nosy is a hardship, even if I can't get what I want, my son will let the people who try to stop me taste the pain of flesh and blood." ”
"Xu Changshou, grab things with my son, are you worthy?" After speaking, the man in white slapped Xu Changshou again.
Liang Mansion, the residence of Lord Cheng Liang in Taichung.
Li Wuzhen came to the Liang Mansion with Luo Huai'an, a resident of Jingyang, the pavilion stopped in the courtyard of the Liang Mansion in the air, the two jumped and jumped off the Hanlin Tower, and in an instant, Luo Huai'an waved his sleeves, and the Hanlin Building disappeared in mid-air and turned into a few phantoms.
A handyman saw the distinguished guest coming to the door, and after greeting Li Wuzhen and the two, he walked towards the study of the Liang Mansion.
Lord Cheng Liang of Taichung, the official residence of the fifth grade, wearing a black gauze hat, a green robe, embroidered white pheasant official robe, slender face, thin chin, slightly thin lips, official temperament overflowing, he was in his study at this time to review the documents, the handyman first knocked on the door, and only pushed the door after hearing the sound.
"My lord! Xuanlu Temple Qing Li Wuzhen and Jingyang monks ask to see! ”
"Welcome with me!"
Hearing that it was two distinguished guests, Lord Chengliang of Taichung hurriedly put down the pen and paper and walked hurried towards the door...... He lowered his brow, and his steps were small but fast, as if each step was extremely heavy.
