Chapter 20: Wind and rain are like obscurity, and human life is like dust

(Do you want to go two more today?Besides, yesterday's votes reached an unprecedented 300, which is gratifying, and I look forward to making persistent efforts!)

In the afternoon, Uncle Hua picked people up and entered the city, in addition to the second lady, there were two maids and five doormen-Jiangcao Qi has the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, is good at helping people, and can gather people, and over time, some people become his doormen.

There were more than five visitors, but some of them had heard that the host's family had committed a murder and had scattered as birds. But overall, the majority of those who chose to stay.

This made the second sister feel gratified, her husband was righteous and squandered money on weekdays, and finally saw people with his eyes.

The Chen family's ancestral house is not small in size and can house everyone.

When the sun set, Chen Sanlang, who went out to inquire about the news, came back.

The news is not encouraging.

Nahuang County Cheng is from Pingchang County, has been a county leader in Jing County for two years, is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, and has strong activity ability. Since the current county magistrate He Zhiming is too old, it won't take long for him to become a priest. It is said that after he became a magistrate, the successor to the county commander was Huang Xiancheng.

It was based on this background that Huang Xiancheng moved his family from Pyeongchang County. He has no children under his knees, and has always regarded his nephew as his own - this nephew is the one who was killed by Jiang Caoqi's pig-killing knife.

When the bad news came, Huang Xiancheng was angry and angry, and personally ran to He Xian Ling to complain and complain.

Jiang Caoqi was detained at the county government and should have been immediately promoted to the court for interrogation, but He Lao County ordered him to be infected with the wind and cold and was bedridden, so he had to order the person to be put in a cell first.

Chen Saburo was worried about this.

Since ancient times, prisons have often died in vain, killing people in it, and then casually following the whole cause, it is too normal for others to be held accountable.

Over the years, Jing County has been quite clear under He Zhiming's governance, and the old county has been selfless, and many lawsuits can be handled impartially. Jiang Caoqi's lawsuit, according to the laws of the dynasty, the final verdict is likely to be stabbed and confiscated into the army, and the crime will not lead to death.

The question is, will Huang Xiancheng let him go?

Chen Sanlang has not been in contact with Huang Xiancheng, but subconsciously it is clear that Huang Xiancheng is not a good master. Especially at the moment, when the old county commander is sick and many affairs are made for him, it is really simple to do tricks.

At this level, Chen Sanlang didn't dare to tell his mother and second sister, for fear that they would be worried.

In the evening, dark clouds drifted in the sky, and it didn't take long for a muffled thunder to sound, and soon a light rain began to fall. The drizzle was hazy, enveloping Jing County, and there was a sense of obscurity.

The door of the tavern is full of birds, and there is only one guest - the owner of the martial arts hall. He had been drinking since the morning, and he was drunk and fell on the table, unconscious.

No one was surprised by the way he looked. What makes the tavern owner and the shopkeeper strange is that with Xu Nianniang's drinking method, he hasn't drunk to death, which is a little strange. But whether you live or die, it's good to have money to buy wine.

Suddenly, someone lifted the curtain at the door of the tavern, and a middle-aged scribe with a somewhat unfamiliar face walked in, he looked like a scholar, but his eyes were narrow and narrow, and occasionally flashed with a gloomy light.

The middle-aged scribe glanced at the environment in the tavern, his eyes turned on Xu Nianniang, and quickly ignored the past and walked into the wing.

Although this tavern is simple, it also has private rooms inside, and the consumption is a higher level than the lobby outside.

The shopkeeper went up to greet him very warmly.

The middle-aged scribe ordered eight dishes in one go, mostly meat, beef, chicken, pork, and three jars of good wine.

High rollers, absolute high rollers.

The smile on the face of the shopkeeper was even brighter, and he hurried out to Zhang Luo.

About half an hour later, the wine curtain at the door was lifted again, and a fat man with a covered head walked in and walked straight into the private room where the middle-aged scribe was.

"Stone cell chief, you are here, please take a seat. ”

The middle-aged scribe greeted him with a smile.

The head of the stone cell also saluted: "Huang County is invited, how dare Shi be lazy?"

The middle-aged scribe coughed dryly: "Stone cell head, this is not true." It's not Huang County, it's the younger brother who is the east, but you have to distinguish it clearly. ”

The head of the stone cell is also a thoughtful person, and suddenly suddenly, he hurriedly said: "It was me who said the wrong thing rudely, don't blame the staff." ”

The two sat down, waited for the wine and food to be served, and began to push the cup and change the lamp, eat and drink, and occasionally talk about some nonsensical gossip.

This meal of wine lasted half an hour.

Staff Zhang took out a bag of things from his arms, put them in front of the stone cell head, and lowered his voice: "Shi cell head, please leave your business, there will be labor." ”

The head of the stone cell picked up the thing, weighed it, and the weight was full, and a fat face smiled into a flower: "It's too polite, it's a little thing, it's a gesture." ”

Staff Zhang smiled and said, "After those three days, wait for good news." ”

The head of the stone cell said: "Actually, if you need it, I can do it tomorrow." The man surnamed Jiang pretended to be a good man, but he had no background; as for the Chen family, it was not worth mentioning, and he was a soft egg, and he finally got a child, so there is no need to worry. ”

Staff Zhang smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, people have an accident as soon as they enter, and it's easy to attract suspicion." Anyway, the old county order is still there. ”

At the mention of He Zhiming, the head of the stone cell spat on the ground and muttered: "This old fellow, he doesn't like to eat meat, and he doesn't give soup to the people below, isn't this cutting off the wealth of the brothers? Cutting off people's wealth and killing their parents." We have been holding our breath for a long time, and we can't let out our bitterness. ”

Regarding his complaints, Staff Zhang smiled and said: "Hehe, Shi Cell Head, as long as you do this thing well, good days will come soon." ”

Thinking of the rumors, Shi Prison's eyes lit up: "Staff Zhang, but please rest assured, this matter is on Shi." After another glass of wine, he left the tavern with a smile on his face.

"Hmph. ”

A sneer flashed at the corner of his staff's mouth, dropped a piece of silver to pay the bill, and got up to leave.

The night rolls up, the weather is raining, the stars and the moon are missing, and it is very dark and deep.

Xu Nianniang, who was lying on the wooden table in the hall, woke up leisurely, stretched her waist for a long time, staggered out of the door, and when she got outside, she was hit in the face by a gust of wind and rain, and the whole person suddenly became sober, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she muttered in her mouth: "I don't care about idle things, it's been many years......"

The wind and rain are blowing, and a light is lonely.

Chen Wangshi, Chen Sanlang, and Chen Ermei sat by the lamp.

The lights were shining, and the wooden table was filled with a letter of snow-white silver, as well as a lot of broken silver and copper coins.

It was calculated before that there were more than three hundred taels of silver here.

Chen Wang looked at his daughter lovingly: "Second sister, you take the silver here first, don't be afraid to use the money, if it's not enough, my mother still has it." ”

"Mother!"

Chen Ermei couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself into Chen Wang's arms and cried - she knew that her mother's family was not wealthy, and she had been going out more and less in recent years.

"Mother, you gave me the money, what should San Lang do, he still has to marry, and he has to take the exam. ”

Chen Sanlang said: "The most important thing now is to let my brother-in-law be healthy." A neat and tidy family is more important than anything else. I will go to Beijing in the future to take the exam, take the top prize, arrange flowers and ride horses, the spring breeze is proud, and a lot of people are giving dowries to marry their daughters, what is this money now?"

was amused by her younger brother's words, but soon, Chen Ermei frowned again, full of sorrow: the most difficult person in the world to provoke is a lawsuit, once it is involved, it will be hard work, and the family will be ruined. Therefore, in this world, ordinary people avoid lawsuits. In normal times, even if they are wronged and suppressed, they are used to being obedient, and if they can not go to the yamen anyway, they will never go up. Knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach, just endure it.

Now that Jiang Caoqi has a life lawsuit, if he wants to live better in prison and suffer less torture, his family must pay a lot of money to pay a lot of money.

It's conventional.

As for how much silver was used, there was no count.

Silver water is generally spent, and the effect is obvious. The next day, Chen Ermei and Chen Sanlang entered the cell and saw Jiang Caoqi.

Jiang Caoqi's complexion was not bad, his body was intact, and he was not punished. This is because they have not yet been formally interrogated, and because the family has spent a lot of money on the cell head and jailers, and they will be more "gentle" when dealing with prisoners.

Seeing her husband in prison clothes, Chen Ermei couldn't help but feel sad and cried bitterly, and it took a while before she was persuaded to stop.

Chen Sanlang suddenly said: "Second sister, you go out first, I have something to tell my brother-in-law." ”

Chen Ermei was stunned, but finally obeyed and walked out. She didn't know what her brother was going to say to her husband, but it must be some very important words, so important that they might be related to her husband's net worth and life.

In prison, Jiang Caoqi looked at this brother-in-law in surprise after listening to Chen Sanlang's words, he really didn't expect Chen Sanlang to say those words so coherently. After being silent for a while, he said slowly: "San Lang, brother-in-law owes you a life." ”

Chen Sanlang waved his hand: "You are my brother-in-law, why bother to say those foreign words." If you can get through this hurdle, you will fly away, and we will see you again in some year. ”

Jiang Caoqi's eyes were blazing: "San Lang, you really impress your brother-in-law." Anyway, after this trip, I want to open my brother-in-law. My parents died young, and I had been living a pork stall for so many years, and I was very unhappy. Just go out and have a good time, see the world. ”

He is a person with a calm personality, he does not panic when he encounters problems, and now he is in prison, but he has not lost his true colors.

"It's time, it's time to get out!"

The jailer was outside to supervise.

Chen Sanlang bowed his hand to Jiang Caoqi and leaned through the wooden fence: "Brother-in-law, take care." He turned and walked out, and as he passed by the outfield, he saw a fat cell boss sitting there, his eyes wandering over him.

Airplanes!

Chen Sanlang felt the strangeness in the rosewood sword box in his arms, it was a pocket small sword.

Since the enlightenment of the sword, the whole sword has undergone some very subtle changes, as if it has spirituality.

More appropriately, it was originally spiritual, but somehow it was blinded and lost that spirituality. Later, after Chen Sanlang continued to feed the blood and warm it, he slowly recovered.

Now this sword, with a premonition of something bad, took the initiative to warn it and passed it on to Chen Sanlang to know.

Chen Sanlang appeared to be casual and walked out of the cell.

The head of the stone cell watched him leave, and then he retracted his gaze and smiled: This Jiang Caoqi's family is really willing to spend money, and they have a good appetite. It's a pity, this life was confessed by Huang Xiancheng, and he must take it, and no amount of money can save it.
