173. Take revenge on the vicious woman
On the second day, Du Buyi got into the carriage with the help of Haruko and Keiko, and after coming to the ferry, he took a boat with Wang Yangming and others to Huguang.
On the boat, Keiko and Haruko stayed by Du Forgetful's side without interruption, accompanying and taking care of them, which made Du Forgetful moved.
After arriving at Jingzhou Mansion, troops from all walks of life had already gathered here.
Because Wang Yangming and the generals saw that Du Buzhi's body was still so weak, they insisted on leaving Du Bucheng alone in the Jingzhou Governor Yamen to take command, and the others took the soldiers to Guizhou.
Du did not forget this commander, he was completely empty, and every day someone only sent battle reports and military information, and there were no people around him.
Du Buyi also felt that he was idle and panicked, and his body had recovered a lot, so he put on civilian clothes and prepared to leave the city with the two of them, but was stopped by several soldiers guarding the city.
Du did not forget to ask:
"Why did you stop me?"
The general defending the city pulled Du Buyi aside to the bulletin board and said:
"Look at it yourself, you are the wanted criminal Feng Shihui!"
Du didn't forget to look at the notice, and the notice that he was wanted in the city was still there, so he smiled and said:
"Where are you trying to get me?"
This will bring back:
"You don't need to ask, of course I'm going to arrest you, a thief of silver and go to prison!"
Du did not forget to ask Haruko on the side to take out a piece of silver and stuff it into the hands of the general who defended the city and said:
"Can you take me to your prefect's yamen to meet your prefect?"
The general who defended the city looked at the silver and said:
"Okay, I'll meet your request as a thief, anyway, sooner or later you will have to wait for the prefect's interrogation!"
Then take Du Bu Bu to the prefect's yamen, Du Bu Bu saw that Haruko and Keiko wanted to make a move, so he immediately smiled and signaled the two to watch the play, and the two of them understood themselves, so they followed behind.
After a while, several people arrived at the prefect's yamen.
Du Buyi has been in the carriage because of his weak health when he came, and he also lived directly in the governor's mansion after arriving, and the prefect Jia Kui has never seen Du Buyi.
At this time, the general who took Du Yi to defend the city said to the prefect Jia Kui:
"This person is the silver thief of Guan Gong Temple who has been wanted by our Jingzhou Mansion for more than a year!"
The prefect took the case and asked Du Yi:
"You have stolen tens of thousands of silver from Guan Gong Temple... Stone back?"
Then, at this time, the prefect said that Feng Shi seemed to hesitate when he returned the name.
Du did not forget to reply:
"It's the sealing stone back below, as for the theft of silver, I don't know if the prefect has any evidence?"
The prefect said to the audience:
"Don't bring the witnesses yet!"
After a while, the headcatcher brought an old couple, and when the woman saw that she had never forgotten it, she cried out:
"It's him... It's him... This was the one who stole the silver last time!"
At this time, the prefect patted it and said:
"Don't you confess your guilt to the bold thief of silver?"
Du didn't forget to smile and replied:
"It's okay if you want me to confess my sins, but aren't these two femme fatales next to me guilty of forgetting their righteousness and inhumanity?"
The prefect shouted:
"Since you are a thief, you dare to slander others!"
Then he said to the servant who was holding the stick on the side:
"Give me 20 boards for him first!"
At this time, Du Bu Bu took out two tokens from his arms and threw them directly on the table of the prefect Jia Kui, and said:
"Look at who this official is, how about fighting again?"
At this time, Jia Kui immediately picked up the two tokens and looked at the first one, which directly read the words 'Daming Jingbian Marquis Order', and trembled instantly, and then looked at the second token that read 'Daming Nine Towns General Economic Order'.
The prefect hurriedly ran over nervously at this time, knelt directly in front of Du Zhiyi and said:
"It turns out that you are the Marquis of Jingbian, the Lord of the General Manager, the lower officials have eyes and do not know Mount Tai, and I hope that the Lord of the General Manager will forgive the sins!"
At this time, the general guarding the city, who had not forgotten to come over by Du Bu, was also shocked, and quickly knelt down to apologize to Du Buyi.
And the pair of old women on the side seemed to be a little angry and said to the prefect:
"Governor Jia, didn't you catch the silver thief, why did you still kneel to him?"
At this time, Jia Zhifu shouted angrily at the woman:
"Catch the silver thief, I think you are the silver thief!"
Then he asked the officials on the side to arrest the couple directly, and then asked Du not to sit in front of the hall.
Du did not forget to take the opportunity to say to Jia Zhifu:
"What should be done about this crime of slander?"
Jia Zhifu immediately replied:
"Whoever slanders maliciously shall be punished with forty rods!"
Then he immediately said to the officer:
"Forty rods will be given to the woman who has been framed and slandered by the Lord of the Scriptures, and the police will serve you!"
At this time, the official immediately suppressed the woman and prepared to fight, and the woman immediately shouted injustice, and then scolded Du and Jia Zhifu.
Jia Zhifu took the case again and shouted at the old woman, if you continue to insult the court officials in the court, you will directly send the border to fill the army.
At this time, the old woman didn't dare to speak anymore, and after the stick officer beat the old woman with five sticks, the old woman began to cry in pain and called her mother, Du did not forget to let Jia Zhifu order the official to stop the stick punishment, and then asked the old man in the audience:
"The official was kind at the beginning, and wanted to try whether you have humanity or not, but you said that your family was poor and had nothing to eat, but later you watched your husband eat the bread and came out, and then took half of the bread he ate to the official to eat, and the official thought you were kind!"
Then he slowed down and continued:
"I didn't expect you to spit on the bread and throw it on the ground, wanting the official to pick it up and eat it, can the official eat it?"
Then he said:
"As a result, your husband and wife watched the official help the poor old man next to him, and they were very unhappy, so they framed the official as a silver thief.
At this time, the onlookers outside scolded the vicious couple, causing both of them to lower their heads and dare not look at the others.
Du did not forget and said to the prefect again:
"Let's let one of them beat ten more sticks, it can be regarded as a small punishment!"
Jia Zhifu replied:
"Or Lord Jingluo was clever, so he ordered the officials to beat the two of them ten times each, and then let the two of them go. ”
After the end, Du did not forget to call the prefect to the back hall and said:
"As for the theft of silver, it is indeed done by this official, Lord Prefect, you can decide!"
Jia Zhifu hurriedly replied:
"How dare the lower officials interrogate Lord Jingluo, my lord, you can talk to the lower officials in detail, and the lower officials can find a way to solve it. ”
Du did not forget to tell the prefect all the ins and outs of the silver, and then added:
"I can't get used to this kind of temple that deceives the people!"
Lord Jia Zhifu said:
"I see!"
Then he continued:
"Since the silver was deceived by the temple pit, of course you have to pay it back to the people, Lord Jingluo, you are really clever!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"The prefect is too modest!"
Jia Zhifu said:
"Since the temple is so lawless, then I will announce tomorrow that all temples and Taoist temples in Jingzhou Mansion are not allowed to take the initiative to ask pilgrims to donate, and if this order is violated, the temple will immediately confiscate ten times the amount of silver received by the pilgrims to compensate for the loss of pilgrims!"
Du Buyi said with a smile:
"It's still the prefect's vision, if I return to Beijing, I will definitely speak for you in the court!"
Jia Zhifu replied:
"This is all because of the unique vision of Lord Jinglu, and the lower officials are just doing things according to Lord Jinglue's wishes!"
Then they chatted for a while, and Du was afraid that Haruko and Keiko would wait too long for him, so he hurriedly came out to accompany the two of them to continue walking around the city.
At this time, it was almost dark, and the three of them began to find a restaurant to drink and eat, and when Du did not forget to ask Xiao Er to take the wine, Haruko and Keiko stopped Du Forgetful, among which Haruko said:
"You're not completely physical, so you're not allowed to drink!"
On the side, Keiko said to Xiao Er:
"You are not allowed to bring him wine today, and if you bring wine, we will not pay for wine and food today!"
Seeing this, Du did not forget to say to the two of them:
"You won't let me drink, aren't you going to suffocate me to death? I haven't drunk in months!"
Keiko immediately replied:
"I've only heard that people can starve to death without eating, how can anyone who doesn't drink and suffocate people to death, the ghost believes you!"
Du Cheng said:
"What are you going to do if I do suffocate to death?"
Haruko replied at this time:
"It's worry-free to suffocate to death, let's go back to Fusang and find someone to marry!"
At this time, as soon as Haruko said Fuso, she seemed to remember something, so she said to the two of them:
"Actually, I really want to go back to Fuso now!"
Keiko asked:
"Sister Haruko, what do you want to do back to Fusang, isn't it like your father?"
Haruko replied:
"Yes, I came to the Central Plains to send you here, and then apologize to Brother Du, but I didn't expect to stay here, and now it's been more than a year, can you miss my father!"
At this time, Keiko also said:
"Actually, I miss my dad too!"
Du did not forget to smile and said to the two of them:
"Since you all miss your father, why don't I accompany you to Fusang!"
Haruko hurriedly said:
"Aren't you going to preside over this southwestern military affair? How can you have time to accompany us to Fusang!"
At this time, Keiko also said:
"Although I want to go back to Fusang, I can't go back, because I finally escaped to this Central Plains, because I will definitely be forced to marry by my father if I go back!"
Du Cheng Cheng said:
"This southwest soldier seems to have nothing to do with me now, my Shihui is just a fake name, and I'm not afraid of those messes or something!"
Then he looked at the two of them again and asked:
"I haven't actually been to Fuso, I really want to go over there to have a look, I don't know how far away it is from our Central Plains?"
Haruko replied:
"It should take about a month to get from the sea to our Fuso by boat, if there is no wind and waves!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"It's not too far, so let's do it, Keiko stays in Suzhou, I'll accompany Haruko to go back to Fusang, I also want to go there to have fun and relax, after all, I know you two Fusang women, and they are both big beauties, maybe you Fusang women are as good-looking as you two!"
At this time, Keiko stepped on Du Yifu's foot under the table, and said angrily:
"There are so many women around you, do you still want to go to our Fusang to find beautiful women, you are really lustful!"
Du did not forget to smile and replied:
"Just kidding, you're so serious, my feet hurt to death when you stepped on it. ”
At this time, Haruko said:
"We do have a lot of beautiful women in Fusang, but they are not as conservative as you Central Plains women?"
Du did not forget to quickly smile and replied:
"That's not good!"
Keiko pinched Du Buyi again and said:
"Look at your complexion, if you go to our Fusang, I must follow you to take a good look at you!"
At this time, Haruko said to Keiko:
"Brother Du is obviously joking, Sister Keiko, don't bully him all the time!"
Keiko looked at Haruko and said:
"Sister Haruko, when did you start defending him like this, you're still not my best sister!"
Haruko replied:
"Of course it is!"
Du didn't forget to look at the two of them and laughed.
At this time, Haruko asked:
"Brother Du, do you really want to go to our Fusang?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Of course?"
Haruko asked again:
"Then aren't you waiting for Sister Xi to come back?"
Du Cheng Cheng said:
"Siqi actually buried her father, maybe she has to keep filial piety for his father, not so fast!"
Haruko replied:
"Okay?"
Then he asked:
"When are we leaving?"
Du didn't forget to think about it, and replied:
"How's tomorrow?"
Haruko immediately replied excitedly:
"Okay, let's go back and pack our things now!"
Du Bu did not forget to nod.
