Chapter 287: Save Ye Ling
Zhang Xuan squatted down and responded, "Sister, I'm coming to see you!" ”
"Brother, you came just in time, if you come a few days late, I'm afraid you won't be able to see my sister!"
Ye Ling hugged Zhang Xuan and said with a sob.
Zhang Xuan let Ye Ling hold him, let her body tremble and sob, and when her emotions calmed down a little, she asked, "Sister, what's wrong with this, why are you in prison?" ”
When Ye Ling heard this, the emotions that had just calmed down suddenly began to churn again, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, sister, it's all caused by that dog thief in Siping!" ”
What, Siping?
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was immediately stunned.
The former city lord of Liancheng was named Siping, and he was taken over by Chao Gai after his term expired, as for where he went after leaving office, Zhang Xuan did not ask. Could it be that guy has been reappointed as the city lord of Kuancheng?
If it's really him, then the old and the new accounts will have to be settled together.
When Siping was in charge of Liancheng, he once forced Gu Xiaoyi and others to change careers, came to Kuancheng to work, and harmed Ye Ling like this, which is simply a disaster wherever he goes. Such a person is not only unworthy of being an official, but also unworthy of being a man.
"Sister, tell me quickly, how that Siping hurt you!" Zhang Xuan said eagerly.
Ye Ling saw that Zhang Xuan was so anxious, for fear that he would do something out of the ordinary because of his anger, so he tried his best to stabilize his emotions and tell Zhang Xuan the whole story.
It turned out that the Siping who framed Ye Ling was the Siping who served as the city lord in Liancheng before, and after being reappointed as the city lord here, he heard that Ye Ling's opera troupe sang well, so he was invited to the city lord's mansion to sing in the hall. After listening to the singing of Ye Ling and others, Siping not only praised vigorously, but also grabbed Ye Ling's hand and asked for warmth, and was very concerned.
Ye Ling thought that this was a normal concern at first, and she was very grateful to Siping, but later, she found that the situation was getting more and more wrong. Guy Siping not only invited the troupe to the house to sing every now and then, but also often chatted with Ye Ling affectionately alone, and gave some gifts from time to time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is what Siping means to Ye Ling.
Since then, Ye Ling has tried her best to avoid meeting with Siping, and whenever Siping invites the troupe to sing in the hall, Ye Ling often says that she is sick and can't go.
Siping is not a fool, even more shrewd than ordinary people, who doesn't know that Ye Ling has peeked into his mind, so he was annoyed and said secretly: "Hmph, you are just a fucking play, although Lao Tzu is interested in you, but he is not strong, he intends to be warm and emotional, but you toast and do not eat and drink, and deliberately avoid Lao Tzu." In that case, Lao Tzu will let you taste this uninteresting thing! ”
So, he instructed his cronies to weave some trumped-up charges that Ye Ling called slandering the court, inciting the people, and wanting to rebel, arrested Ye Ling in prison, and tortured him to extract a confession, with the intention of making Ye Ling submit and obediently satisfy his lustful desires.
Ye Ling knew that she had been framed by Siping, showing the tenacity that ordinary women did not have, and would rather die than give in, although her ten fingers were sparsely beaten and her legs were slightly deformed by the tiger chair, she never admitted those fabricated charges.
Siping saw that she was so hard, and he was afraid that a fragrant flower would be ruined, so he ordered his subordinates to stop torturing her, but to keep her locked up until she gave in.
After listening to Ye Ling's narration, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but grit his steel teeth, and immediately went to Siping to settle accounts, but after thinking about it, he immediately dispelled this idea.
Siping framed Ye Ling on trumped-up charges, and there was no tangible evidence in Ye Ling's hands, if he denied it, no one could do anything about him, Zhang Xuan appeared in front of him as Lord Qincha, and he couldn't cure his crime. If he was tortured to extract a confession, he would accuse Zhang Xuan of bullying others, and Zhang Xuan couldn't afford such a notoriety.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xuan decided to make a trick against Siping. Siping can make a yin move on Ye Ling, why can't he make a yin move on Siping?
So, after searching for where Siping was, he immediately used some weird magical powers.
Siping was drinking and having fun with some cronies, and just picked up a glass of wine, when suddenly he went crazy, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the spilled wine splashed all over him. While walking in a circle around the wine table like a donkey, he kept saying: "Let Ye Ling go, let Ye Ling go, let Ye Ling go, let Ye Ling go......"
Seeing this, a group of cronies panicked, and in a panic, they all dodged to the side, fearing that the donkey's energetic Siping would crash into him.
After the meal, Siping temporarily stopped circling, glanced at those panicked subordinates, and asked, "I asked you to release Ye Ling, did you let her go?" ”
The cronies thought that what Siping Shicai said was crazy words, but at this moment, seeing Siping asking seriously, they didn't know how to respond for a while, and they looked at Siping in a daze one by one.
Seeing this, Siping continued to turn in circles and nagged Ye Ling's words.
One of the slightly more clever cronies said: "Everyone, we all know what the city lord did to Ye Ling before, and Ye Ling is actually not guilty. Now the city lord is suffering from madness, probably entangled by Ye Ling's grievances, in order to solve the trap, he ordered us to release Ye Ling. In that case, let's not be stupid, let's do what we should do! ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.
The release of Ye Ling requires Siping's written instructions, so a cadre of cronies hurriedly drafted a written thing, stamped it with the official seal, and took out Siping's private seal from the drawer and stamped it, and took this thing to the prison.
After reading the city lord's edict, the classic history immediately took a few prison officials to the prison where Ye Ling was held, intending to release Ye Ling, but found that Ye Ling had already left. Although the classic history is wonderful, it is not in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, and it does not make a big noise.
Siping donkeys generally wandered around for a while, and then returned to normal.
A cronie still thought that his words about releasing Ye Ling at first were crazy words, for fear that he would blame him, so he confirmed it to him again.
Siping glared at a pair of bull's eyes and said, "Is this a joke? I think you're just asking that. That Ye Ling, as you all know, was innocent, but I coveted her beauty, and in order to get her, I figured out such a trick. Since she does not admit her sin and does not give in, what is the use of keeping her in prison? If you let her go, this matter will be over, and it will be a hundred, wouldn't it be very worry-free! ”
When his cronies heard this, they relieved their hearts and praised him for being able to afford to take everything and let it go.
It's night, and Siping is tyrannical.
When the cronies heard this, they wondered again. Si Ping went crazy during the day, it was Ye Ling's unjust soul entanglement, but now that Ye Ling has been released, there will be no more unjust souls haunting him, why did he die instead?
The death of the city lord for no reason was a major event, and an official had to hurry up to report to the peak, and he couldn't do his job.
After Zhang Xuan rescued Ye Ling, he accompanied her to the location of the troupe and had a good time with the owner of the festival and others. During the banquet, Zhang Xuan proposed to invite them to perform in Zhangjia Village, and they readily agreed.
According to the meaning of the festival master, Ye Ling has just been released from prison and must recuperate for a period of time before going to Zhangjia Village. Ye Ling said: "Class master, I'm bored here, and I really hope to go out for a break as soon as possible!" ”
The head of the festival smiled: "You have said so, so what else do I have to say?" Let's leave for Zhangjia Village tomorrow! ”
