Chapter 35: Brothers (3)
Last night, Hua Shichun led us in a hurry, and did not observe the environment here at all, but now I came here, but I had the time to take a look, the houses were short, and the window lattices were old, but I just felt that it was very ordinary, and I even thought in my heart, this place is a terrifying prison, how can it be so simple. After passing the door, I saw four strong men, shirtless, holding wooden roots, surrounded by a pile of yellow paper, rounding their arms, playing hard, not long after, they were already sweating, Yue Ziqian lay leisurely on the chair, a small wooden table with tea, several lieutenants standing aside, and there were seven or eight strong men, also naked, it seemed, they were all waiting to come forward to make paper. What's even more amazing is that in the corner of the courtyard, there is a group of people standing in the black press, which can be described as all kinds of people, some wearing shackles, some with scattered hands, with different expressions on their faces, looking directly at the four people playing paper, all of them are dressed in tattered black clothes, and they are the prisoners in the edict.
Yue Ziqian saw me come in and beckoned to me, I trotted over with a smile, and gave a salute: "Lord Baihu, on the order of Liao Qianhu, come here to deliver official documents." As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the official document, Yue Ziqian took it, opened it, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Big brother is big brother, take care of my brother at all times!" He whispered a few words to a lieutenant, and then said to me, "I know this, come, have a cup of tea, and we'll talk!" Small town, look at the seats! ”
A thin lieutenant quickly brought me a chair, asked me to sit down with a smile on his face, I politely thanked them, then looked at the four of them, and said, "Lord Baihu, what are you doing here?" ”
"Let them practice their hands! You may not know it, but they're all in charge of playing the staff. If the craftsmanship is not outstanding, how can it work! Yue Ziqian said with a smile.
I had heard of the court staff, only to see the wooden root hit on the yellow paper, but the yellow paper was unscathed, I didn't feel surprised, Yue Ziqian saw my curiosity, so he called out to the four people, and then said to me: "You go and see the paper." ”
I reached for the yellow paper, and one piece of paper lifted smoothly, and when I looked down, I was stunned. The paper underneath had already been shattered, and a gust of wind blew, so that people couldn't open their eyes.
I hid my face and avoided it, catching a glimpse of the prisoners, all of them with different expressions, most of them fearful, and a few of them with disdain. I returned to Yue Ziqian's side and said, "It's really good kung fu!" Yue Ziqian disagreed, and said, "What is this bit of effort?" It's just to scare and scare people, you can double the people in the brocade guard, you are not bad, work hard! I hugged my fists and said: "In the future, I have to rely on the support of hundreds of households!" ”
Yue Ziqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lao Yue knows it." Then he said in a loud voice to the prisoners, "You have also seen what is going on here with a stick and hitting people, I don't think it will be much better than that yellow paper!" Jinyiwei has the rules of Jinyiwei, of course, "Da Ming Law" is very clear, you are all people with official orders, and if you can come here, you have also violated the ban. The commander instructed us, don't torture you, I don't want to, it's all born and raised by your parents, it's really not good to be mutilated, in case you miss and die here, it's not worth it, brother, I just took over here, it's too rude to be rude, so, give you three days, you think about it, if you are guilty, say it, and if you think you are innocent, put it forward, don't let us force you to say! When these people heard this, they looked at each other one by one, and they could see that they were frightened. Yue Ziqian continued to drink water, and I asked, "Are they all prisoners?" Yue Ziqian shook his head and said, "Not yet, Brother Liao won't let me be punished, so I have to be tactful." "The so-called euphemism is probably knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger!
I looked at these prisoners and said in a low voice, "Don't hide it from Lord Baihu, I want to find someone here!" Yue Ziqian was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
I briefly told the matter again, Yue Ziqian smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and said: "Such a trivial matter, not enough to worry about, Jinyiwei catches more people every day, in the future, you can find it directly in the signing room, the person in charge there is called Bao Xiaobai, who is very talkative." ”
I can hardly believe my ears, could this Bao Xiaobai be Bao Song's younger brother? I drew a few circles in my heart, thinking about Liao Jianzhong's words, so I didn't say anything, but said: "It's presumptuous, I'm a newcomer, I'm not familiar with it yet, please take care of it!" Yue Ziqian smiled and said, "After a while, everyone will remember you, and it will be fine." Saying this, he called Xiaochengzi again and asked him to check if there was such a person as Gao Dezheng.
We were eating tea, Yue Ziqian looked at the paperwork, I inadvertently looked at those prisoners, and found that Fang Lin and Jian Cheng, who were disposed of by Zhang Yong's father-in-law that day, were also there, but Jian Cheng was wearing shackles, but Fang Lin was relaxed. Although Jian Cheng's beard was unkempt, he had a calm face; Fang Lin, on the other hand, frowned. Our eyes met, Jian Cheng actually smirked at me, and Fang Lin looked at me blankly, he didn't know who I was at all. I recalled the events of that day in my mind, and my unintentional actions actually made several people in different circumstances, and I had to sigh when I looked around.
Soon, Xiaochengzi came back to tell him, saying that there was such a person, who was the alternate magistrate of Leizhou, and was discovered by Jinyi Wei Fanzi because of eating flowers and wine, and he took it by taking it. After listening to this, Yue Ziqian smiled and said, "If you have a big fart, you will be sent to the edict." Who did this? If there is no big mistake, let's put a few boards! ”
Xiaochengzi said: "Back to the Lord of Baihu, it was caught by Lord Baihu a few days ago, and it has not been tried, so it was thrown here." I see that you can discuss it with Lord Hua Baihu and make arrangements! ”
Yue Ziqian said angrily: "Do you still need to discuss such a trivial matter with Third Brother Hua?" What's more, with the face of Brother Zhang Ying, pass on my words, slip that guy out, scold him five times, and release him! ”
I was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Lord Yue Baihu, this subordinate really doesn't dare, I'm not familiar with him!" It's just entrusted to ask, you release people directly, I ......! ”
Yue Ziqian stood up with a smile, and I also followed, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Liao has already said that you are our brother, let us take good care of you, you don't have to worry about it." ”
In a short time, the two lieutenants pulled out a young man from the crowd, who was already frightened and sifted chaff, and his legs were as soft as noodles. Judging from the face, it does have a bit of the temperament of a reader. Seeing this, Yue Ziqian smiled and said: "This person is too unscrupulous, it is estimated that after two hits, the person will have to pass." "I've seen what these people are capable of, and I'm worried.
Xiao Chengzi understood, pulled Gao Dezheng over, and said: "You also saw that someone will keep you out, but according to the "Da Ming Law", all prohibited officials will be punished, and your body is full of karma, can you be willing to change the punishment method?" ”
That Gao Dezheng's originally dead face immediately became lively, and he said continuously: "Thank you for your kindness, the little one is willing." Xiao Chengzi said hello, and then said: "Fifty taels of fine!" Hand over to the treasury! ”
Gao Dezheng nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, it's just that I can't take out so much money now, and I need to go back to my hometown to get it." ”
Xiao Chengzi said with a smile: "This is simple, you are in the official department, and the brocade guard is left, you can't escape, in this way, you sign it, and we will naturally arrange someone to pick it up." ”
I really didn't expect that one of my words could let a person out, I was uneasy, Liao Jianzhong has always let me be a low-key person, but other people have favored me, I gradually know that they value me is the person behind me, so my superficiality is not only not ridiculed, but valued.
It was not a long road, I walked very nervously, and the people next to me were also nervous, and I was in a daze to lead this Gao Dezheng out, who was as nervous as a dog, following closely behind, with his waist bent, for fear that I would leave him behind.
And the Jinyi guards I met didn't seem to care about the two of us strange people, maybe they were commonplace, maybe they didn't want to ask, in short, I came to the back door smoothly, it was still Lou Feng, I was ready to speak, he just nodded at me, and with a wave of his hand, the lieutenants got out of the way, and Gao De and I walked out of the corner gate.
"Young Master, you have finally come out, but the young lady and I have a hard time finding it!" Gao Qian saw us, ran up, grabbed Gao Dezheng's hand, his eyes were full of tears, Gao Dezheng instantly recovered his original appearance, and said: "Gao Qian, I'm not good, I want to thank this little brother for this, little brother, your surname?" ”
I said lightly: "My name is Zhang Ying!" ”
Gao De was busy arching his hand and said: "In this way, little brother, you go back with me, I must thank you heavily tonight!" I waved my hand and said, "Go back and thank this executive, he has been waiting for you for many days." Remember to prepare the ransom, otherwise, you will still be arrested. ”
"That's, that's, don't worry, the Gao family still has some money, Gao Qian, you have a silver ticket in your hand, yes, hurry up and give it to the little brother."
Gao Qian hurriedly took out the silver ticket to me, how can I ask for it, there are many people here who are looking at it from afar, and I can't ask for it, in the end, I simply pushed it and turned back.
There were a few "Engong" sounds in my ears, which made me even more embarrassed.
