Chapter 37: Becoming an Official
As soon as the party was delayed, Xu Chunzhi had already escorted Liang Xie away, Yu Qibai and Shen Nanwu were afraid that Xu Chun's hand would be punished quickly but all confessed, and in the past few days, they had only been rewarded with a few hundred taels of silver for their hard work and arrest, and it was not worth the piece of agarwood that was given to Master Liu, and this transaction was naturally not worth it, so the two of them didn't even have time to bring their entourage, and they were busy out of the 'Jingguo Mansion'. Just as he was about to chase down, he suddenly heard a person behind him shouting: "Two of you stay." β
As soon as Yu Shen and the others turned around, they saw Zheng Qianhu rushing over with a few people, and Yu Shen and the two were two heads and four big, and they called out "Zheng Qianhu." Zheng Qianhu said with a smile: "The two of you are also in a hurry, and you don't even bring a helper, in case the assassin takes the opportunity to escape, how can you explain to the governor?" Fortunately, my subordinates are still passable, so I will simply accompany you on a trip, one will be a helper for you, and the other is that Lord Xu can help you say good things if you don't buy it." As he spoke, he glanced at the few people beside him, and a few people understood, and each took a few steps forward and followed behind Shen Nanwu.
Yu Qibai said: "Thank you for your help." β
Zheng Qianhu said with a smile: "I have a habit, I will never treat anyone who sincerely helps me do things, although you are not my direct subordinates, but you are all working for the governor, my official position is bigger than you, I may be able to help you if I have the opportunity, it is not easy for young people to have good skills, but don't bury it." Although he still spoke with Yu Shen and the others, his tone was much more polite than yesterday.
Yu Qibai and Shen Nanwu Qi said: "Xie Qianhu cultivates. β
Zheng Qianhu said with a smile: "Cultivation can't be talked about, our family is also like you, and I can understand your hard work." β
Yu Shen and the others bowed down again and said, "Xie Qianhu is considerate. β
Zheng Qianhu smiled and said, "Hurry up, don't miss the errand." β
"Yes. After speaking, Yu Shen and the others led Zheng Qianhu's entourage and hurriedly chased after them......
'Jinyi Guard' belongs to the Imperial City Guard, has a guard of honor to open the way, supervises the minister, guards the capital, takes people for interrogation and other duties, and has great power. Xu Chunzhi can be regarded as a pivotal figure in the 'Golden Guard', although the official position is not big, but the power in his hands is really not small, it can be called below three or five people, above ten thousand people, but he is still not satisfied, to be precise, he is very unhappy, very, very unhappy. There are many things that make him unhappy, such as his martial arts background, bow, sword, stone horse and arrow, long fists and short fights, both internal and external kung fu have very high attainments, but why is the boss of the 'Golden Guard' not him, but the Luo Pavilion? On martial arts Luo Pavilions are not as good as him, on the scheming Luo Pavilions are not as good as him, on the ruthlessness of Luo Pavilions is not as good as him, this person who even has a sissy name and even a surname is actually his top boss, which makes him very unhappy, but what makes him even more unhappy is that every time he sees this sissy person, he has to nod his head and smile. For another example, Wu Jingguo has many righteous sons, he is not the boss, nor the second, not even the third, these people in front of him are far inferior to him in terms of martial arts and strategies in addition to their official positions being higher than him, but the status of these rice buckets is higher than him. For another example, the 'Golden Guard' is a regular establishment of the imperial court, well-equipped, strong in martial arts, and a large number of personnel, with tens of thousands of people when it is full, and how many contributions have been made to the imperial court over the past few hundred years, but why is the head of the four guards in the world not the 'Golden Guard' but the 'Cloth Guard......'?
Therefore, although he has no shortage of food, clothing, and rights, he is still very unhappy and unhappy. When ordinary people are unhappy, there are those who bury their heads in sleep, those who drink to relieve boredom, those who become monks, those who let go of gambling, and those who go to the kiln to find girls, but he is different, he likes to torture people, and he always has to go whenever he is unhappy. Jin Yu (the place where luck is locked up) 'Find a few prisoners to vent his anger, for no reason, without asking anything, go up and beat, pull out his nails after beating, or use a knife to cut a cut in the prisoner's finger, and then pull the flesh on the wound, tearing down the texture of the muscle, sometimes he can pull the old man, sometimes it is very short and broken, whenever this time he is even more unhappy, he does not understand, why human meat can not be pulled down like boiled pork and beef, he is not convinced, so as long as he has the opportunity he will try, once and again to enjoy it, and put away the longer shredded meat, cooked, to see what is the difference with pork and beefγ
He likes that others are afraid of him, sometimes he even thinks that his name is too gentle, so he doesn't like his own name, although this name is thousands of times stronger than Luo Ting, but it is still not a good name, until one day, someone else gave him a nickname 'Hades', which was given by a prisoner in the prison, he was very happy, he liked this nickname, he liked this nickname very much, so he repaid the prisoner, and the way to return it was 'fried fritters'- After the noodles are reconciled, roll them out and stretch them, and then use a knife to pull a few cuts on the noodles to get out of the pot, which is economical, crispy and delicious. Gradually, he began to dislike the nickname "Hades", and always felt that there seemed to be something missing, many people were afraid of seeing Hades, but the people who fell into his hands wanted to see "Hades", it can be seen that "Hades" is not a ruthless character, he is, so his nickname should not be called "Hades", and "Hades" should be nicknamed, called ...... Call...... It's good to call Xu Chunzhi, there is no one in my Xu Chunzhi's hands who does not confess, and there is no one who is 'afraid of death', so he has a sense of accomplishment until one day......
Lin Lan, another sissy name, he thought that such a sissy reader would be able to get it in a few clicks, but he didn't expect that this sissy was very backbone, no matter how he tortured it, he didn't move, what was it to tear off his nails, what was it to nail steel nails to his limbs, and even his eyeballs were broken, and he still didn't move, as if he had no sense. Xu Chunzhi was very hurt at this time, he felt that Lin Lan was not kind, not righteous, could not be an adult, and his character was really not good. So he found someone with good character - Chen Beichen, it stands to reason that this person has read more books than Lin Lan, and he should be more righteous, but he didn't expect that this is also an unkind guy, this time Xu Chunzhi Xu was even more injured, after killing these two people, he studied for a long time, and always felt that the method seemed to be wrong, and he still needed to innovate, but unfortunately there was no more decent, a person with backbone let him practice, no matter who it was, when he saw him, he basically made a move, and he didn't need to fight, fuck, this is clearly a smashing field, and he will be beaten.
But today is different, today this person seems to have a bit of backbone, he likes people with backbone, fun, but he hates this kind of person - they are all the same head, I, Xu Chunzhi, Lord Xu, are afraid of death, why are you not afraid? I, Lord Xu, can be bought by money and power, why can't I buy you? Why are you more moral and backbone than me? People are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, they are all afraid of death, they all like to enjoy, they all like to have thousands of dollars in their waists, there are countless gold and silver jewelry, you can change houses every day, change sedan chairs, change women, you can burn agarwood to repel mosquitoes, you can twist pearls and soak your feet, why don't you like what I like? What pretend? What archway to erect, I want to tear off your mask and let the world see that the people who preach the way of saints all day long are not as good as me Xu Chunzhi. People, you should be like me, real, not pretentious, if you like it, you will rob and surrender if you are afraid of death, what is the', you want to be lewd, who let you be lewd?
Xu Chunzhi was very happy and excited, this assassin didn't seem to recognize him, it would be more fun, he would first hit a stick to let him relax, then get on a tiger chair, and then ...... And then ...... Do ......you have a palace punishment like you did last time you dealt with those three people? No, this one was tried, it's not interesting, it's not fun. Haha, there is, it's been a long time since I've given people a 'knight', this punishment is good, gentle enough, and the name is auspicious, looking at the prisoner's little by little struggle, the gradual pain that is about to suffocate the depression, he feels that this kind of criminal law is very real, as soon as he is happy, let the prisoner rest for a while and then continue, and then give a break and then continue until the prisoner is out of strength, first dip in water, then use wine, and finally use chili water to walk again, it must be fun, but' Jin Yu's is the exclusive cell of the senior members of the DPRK, and it is cheaper to let such a person in......
Yu Shen and the others were delayed by Zheng Qianhu, and they were even farther away from Xu Chunzhi, and the two didn't care if Zheng Qianhu's subordinates could keep up, so they started to walk lightly, but they were still a step slower when they rushed to the prison. Shen Nanwu took out the token and negotiated with the warden, and then the jailer went in to report, and waited for a long time before Xu Chunzhi came out, and when the two entered the 'Jinyuan' and saw Liang Xie, Liang Xie's eyes were foggy, and he was already lying in the corner of the cell unable to move, and in the darkness, he saw him fall to the ground like a mess of mud.
"Lord Xu, the governor still has something to ask him, can we take the assassin away first?" Shen Nanwu asked, although he is now the catcher of the 'Inner Governor's Mansion', not Xu Chunzhi's subordinate, but after all, he was transferred from the 'Golden Guard', maybe one day the errand of the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' will be changed, and he will have to go back to the 'Golden Guard' to do things, so he is quite polite in his words.
Xu Chunzhi said: "What Shen Zhusi said, the governor wants to ask Xu to naturally cooperate, and the two of you are invited." "In terms of official positions, he is far above Shen Nanwu, not to mention Yu Qibai, who has no taste, but the 'Golden Guard' has always been controlled by the 'Inner Governor's Mansion', and Shen Nanwu is naturally the third rank of the official university, and he knows that these people around Shen Nanwu are Zheng Qianhu's entourage. Although it doesn't matter if Shen Nanwu offends or not, it doesn't matter if Zheng Qianhu offends or not, but it's not good to make the governor unhappy, and it may affect his career, so he smiled and agreed.
Yu Qibai saw that Xu Chunzhi agreed to mention someone, and he was not polite at the moment, and personally went into the cell, Liang Xie had a burst of wine on his body, Yu Qibai probed his snort and touched his shoulder, only to feel that his arms were still dislocated, Yu Qibai touched the bone joints for Liang Xie to align and connect, and then helped him up, who knew that Liang Xie's legs fell to the ground and immediately fell down, he glanced at the pepper water in the water basin in the prison and was secretly frightened, fortunately it came early, otherwise I am afraid of the pepper water' 'Tie Jia Guan' is all hors d'oeuvres in Xu Chunzhi's hands, and if it is delayed for a long time, it will definitely be scrapped. Yu Qibai didn't say much, leaned over and carried Liang Xie on his back, thanked Xu Chunzhi and carried Liang Xie out of prison.
Xu Chunzhi watched the group leave with a smile, and suddenly asked the jailer next to him with a smile, "Are there any new people who have been locked in these days?"
The jailer said: "Lord Hui, Zheng Siguang, the prefect of the 'Sunset Death City', has just been imprisoned not long ago. β
"The prefect of the five grades is also worthy of being locked up here, what did he do?"
"I don't know much about this humble position, I heard Lord Luo's entourage say that our brothers in the city found out that he repeatedly connived at Gai Motian's murder and had the intention of colluding and rebelling, so he was arrested, and there is no evidence yet. β
Xu Chunzhi said with a smile: "Rebellion? I can't imagine that a civilian prefect still has such courage, take me to take a look." β
"Yes. The jailer answered, and took Xu Chunzhi through the twenty-four cells of the word 'δΉ', the twenty-four cells of the word 'poison', and the twenty-four cells of the word 'burn', and finally stopped in the seventeenth room of the twenty-four cells of the 'pending trial', and said sideways: "My lord, the person here is Zheng Siguang." β
"Well, it's open, I'll go in and take a look. β
'Whoa', the door opened, a burst of musty and smelly smell rushed in, Xu Chunzhi stepped in without fear, there was only one person sitting against the wall, the prison was dim, this person was wearing loose hair, he couldn't see his face clearly, he saw someone coming in, he was startled, and hurriedly got up.
Xu Chunzhi didn't say a word, kicked him down according to the man's chest, reached out and untied the 'rhino leather leather' on his waist, and whipped it over with his head and face, this person covered his head and face, begging for mercy, Xu Chunzhi didn't care about him, threw off the belt and beat him fiercely, until the jade inlaid on the belt splashed in all directions, and the belt opened before stopping.
The man's two arms were already swollen and covered with blood, and one ear was also beaten to pieces, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... My lord, spare your life, you are wronged by your humble duties, and you are wronged by your humble duties. β
"Your name is Zheng Siguang, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, yes. β
"What do you mean?"
"Home...... My father wants me to ...... Many....... Have more children and pass on the ....... Inherit the incense. β
"Inherit the incense, inherit the incense, inherit the incense, thank you......" Just when Zheng Siguang was confused, Xu Chunzhi shouted, "Come on".
"Your Excellency. The subordinate hurriedly said.
"Find the needle that sews the sack, sew up his words, and see how he passes on the incense. Xu Chunzhi's eyes flashed.
"My lord, it is rumored in the outside world that we have lynched Zheng Siguang and filed off one of his fingers. β
"What do you think is the outside world, file off a finger? I think that's a good idea, and I'll do it again after the stitches. β
"My lord, this ......"
Xu Chunzhi approached, his face almost on the jailer's face, and said slowly: "Why don't you come for him, and I will serve you personally?"
The jailer was excited, and hurriedly responded: "Go and do it immediately, do it immediately." β
Zheng Siguang heard the conversation between the two, and was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he didn't know where he got the strength to get the strength when he was seriously injured, so he crawled on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted: "My lord spares my life, my lord spares my life, and my humble duty is wronged...... Wrongful ......"
Xu Chunzhi's face bloomed with a smile and ignored it, Zheng Siguang became more and more flustered, and said, "My lord, spare my life...... Adults spare their lives..... There are 1,000 taels of lowly office, no, 10,000 taels of silver for filial piety......"
Xu Chunzhi's face was shiny, he laughed, turned around and walked out of the cell......
"I'm an official of the imperial court, you can't touch me without a conviction....... I...... I am the champion of the imperial examination in Yong'an for three years, and the prefect appointed by the emperor...... I'm ......."
Xu Chunzhi walked farther and farther, Zheng Siguang shouted more and more urgently, and his tone became more and more panicked and desperate.
", you don't want to die!" Behind him, a hoarse cry resounded through the prison.
