Chapter 5 reverses black and white
Last time, I said that Governor Li said kind words, but he unceremoniously put away the silver ticket, and he smiled even more. A few people were very happy to push the glass and change the lamp, and they were even more excited after three rounds of wine and tasteless dishes. Wu Yuanwai said: "Master Li, do you want to listen to a little song?" Governor Li said, 'Okay, call over quickly.' Wu Yuanwai smiled and said, "I have already prepared it for you, please invite Miss Yinxiang to come in." As soon as the words fell, I saw a beautiful woman walk into the hall, her face was delicate and gorgeous, her figure was beautiful, wearing a red Luo skirt, the red skirt was even more beautiful and moving, and she walked slowly with a pipa in her arms, Governor Li's eyes were straight, and she didn't know what to say for a while, Yinxiang stood still not far from the wine table, and said with a slight smile: "The little woman Yinxiang has given a gift to a few masters, and I don't know what music the masters want to listen to." At this time, Governor Li relieved himself and said with a smile: "Whatever song the girl sings, this adult likes to listen to it." Yinxiang raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, making it even more charming and charming. Wu Wangcai continued: "Miss Yinxiang, you can sing a song about your sister and waiting for your lover's heart to panic." Yinxiang smiled and said, "Haode." Yinxiang sat on the stool that Yahuan had just moved, played the pipa and sang softly. A few people listened to the song while eating and drinking, and after a while, Wu Yuanwai approached Governor Li's ear and whispered: "Miss Yinxiang is the number one Oiran of our county Ningxiang Pavilion, nicknamed the Race Master, and Yinxiang will accompany you for the night tonight." When Governor Li heard that the delicate beauty in front of him was going to spend the night with him, he couldn't tell what it was like, and even said a few good words, and others suspected that he was praising the good singing of the song. These people are drinking and having fun here, not to mention for a moment.
Besides, the next morning, Zhang Biao and Li Hu, the two heads of the catchers, had already come to the county government to see Zhang Zhixian. Zhang Zhixian's family also got up early, simply made some food, and waited for Zhang Biao's carriage after eating. Seeing Zhang Biao and Li Hu coming, Zhang Zhengqing said: "The two head catchers, is the carriage coming?" Zhang Biao said: "It has been parked in the front yard, and the owner of the car asked to pay the silver first." Zhang Zhengqing said: "That's right, I'll go and pay him the silver." Li Hu said: "I don't think there's any need to be in such a hurry, I'll move the things into the car first." After saying that, they helped move the box, and the box was moved to the car and put it away, and Zhang Zhengqing gave the silver to the car owner. This car is a covered carriage that can shelter from the wind and rain, Mrs. and Yahuan each hugged a quilt and took Ling'er into the carriage, Zhang Zhengqing and the two headcatchers also got into the car, Zhang Biao said to the car boss: "Boss Zhou, you can set off, we adults will ask you to take care of it." Zhou Lao Dao: "Don't worry, the two head catchers, I will be careful along the way." With that, he whipped his whip and said a word, and the carriage slowly sailed down the street. The carriage stopped suddenly after walking for a while, and Zhang Zhengqing said, "Boss Zhou, why did this car stop." Zhou Lao Dao: "My lord, come to my door, I will come back soon when I go home for some business." Boss Zhou returned home and handed over all the silver to his lady to put away, and he packed a few pieces of loose silver and some copper coins, and explained some things to the lady and came out. Boss Zhou returned to the car and said, "My lord, we can go on the road." Zhang Zhengqing said: "Then there is Boss Lao Zhou." Then the carriage drove out of the city.
Zhang Biao and Li Hu saw off Zhang Zhixian in the county office, and the two returned to Zhang Zhixian's residence in the Houya, and packed up the things that could be used and took them back. Then he rushed to the county government on a business trip, and the two met together on the street, chatting while walking, Zhang Biao said: "Brother Li, I think we have to make plans early, then Wu Tiande will definitely take revenge on the two of us when he comes back, I want to move away from Qingyuan tonight, away from this place." Li Hu said: "I also have this idea, I plan to go to my cousin's house in Kaifeng Mansion to settle down." Zhang Biao said: "I don't have a place to go now, so I can only walk and see." Li Hu said: "Or you will go to Kaifeng with me." Zhang Biao said: "How is it good, what if your cousin blames you." Li Hu said: "You can rest assured, I didn't tell you before, my cousin is a dart game, is in need of help, a few letters to ask me to help in the past did not go, I feel that doing a head hunt is enough to live a normal life, not only what is the risk, but also the second is difficult to move, now it seems that there is a risk in doing anything, just like our Lord Zhang has nothing in a blink of an eye, in my opinion there is more than this, there may be a danger to life, but unfortunately the two of us have limited ability and can not help him, can only rely on God to bless their family to return home safely." Zhang Biao sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go to Kaifeng with you." Li Hu said: "Then it is decided, we will meet at the east gate of the city at the second watch tonight." Zhang Biao said: "How to get out of the city if the city gate is not opened during the third watch, and then Kaifeng should go out of the north gate." Li Hu said: "The head of the east gate guards me is very good, he should be able to open the door, or go over in the afternoon to have a look, and besides, there is another advantage, in the future, someone will inquire about our whereabouts, and he will definitely suspect that we will go out of the east gate to the east." Zhang Biao said: "That's fine." ’
After Zhang Biao and Li Hu Jihua got along, they went to the county government office as usual, and when they arrived at the county government to see Master Wang and other catchers, Zhang Qi and Wang Ba also came. Zhang Biao immediately wanted to question Zhang Qi and Wang Ba, but was stopped by Li Hu's eyes, and then went to the front and whispered: "There is no point in questioning now, these witnesses must be coerced and lured by the Wu family, and they have to be at the mercy of others under power, and besides, it is better to have more things than less now." Zhang Biao nodded in agreement and whispered, "What Brother Li said makes sense, let's wait and see." ’
After a while, Governor Li took his group to the county government hall, and sat behind the court and gave orders: 'Zhang Zhutou, you go to see Zhang Zhengqing, and tell him to move out of the county government quickly, and this governor will be here for a few days. Zhang Biao replied: "Tell your lord, Zhang Zhixian left the city early in the morning. Governor Li smiled when he heard this: "This kid runs very fast, and he is usually quite capable, but this time he is planted at home, who escorted him." Zhang Biao replied: "There is no one to escort him, so he is the only one on the road." Governor Li said: "Then how can it be done, where are Zhang Qi and Wang Ba?" Zhang Qi and Wang Ba stepped forward and said, "My subordinates are here, what do you command?" Governor Li said: "You two are chasing after you on horseback, and you must be escorted to the local place to be guarded by local officials. Zhang Qi and Wang Ba came to the lobby to get the official document and went to chase Zhang Zhixian.
Governor Li was arrested again, and quickly took the official document of Wu Tiande's acquittal to Hongzhou to release Wu Tiande. Governor Li dragged Li Laoshi out for interrogation again, but he still did not admit his guilt and only called him wronged, and Zuihou was sent to prison again. Governor Li said to the court: "It's okay now, all the county officials are catching quickly, Lord Ben will give you seven days off to take a good rest, and now you can go home." The hunters went home quickly. Zhang Biao and Li Hu have since disappeared in Qingyuan County.
Governor Li was fascinated by the Yinxiang girl, thinking about the gentleness and charm of Yinxiang every day, and his voice disappeared. Wu Wangcai took down the silver incense bag and sent it to the county government to play with Governor Li, and he was extremely happy. Wu Wangcai also invited a chef to cook for Governor Li in the county office, and all the expenses were paid by Wu Wangcai.
Besides, it was noon when Zhang Qi and Wang Ba were ready, so they had lunch before they hurried, and they didn't see Zhang Zhixian and their shadows all the way down, seeing that it was getting late, and there was a town in the distance. At this time, the two walked together, Zhang Qidao: "Brother Wang, seeing that it is getting late, let's speed up and rush to the town in front to rest, and chase after it tomorrow, it is estimated that Zhang Zhixian will not go fast, how far can a carriage pull a few people, and we may catch up tomorrow morning." Wang Badao: "Okay, after riding for a long time, the horse's buttocks hurt." The two of them said and urged the horse to go quickly, and when it was dark in the town, the town was not big, and after looking for a while, they found a Yuelai Inn, and the two of them went to the inn and greeted the door with a smile and said: "Do the two officials live in the hotel?" Zhang Qidao: 'Yes, is there a clean room?' Xiao Erjian said: "Our rooms are all in the net, you two are coincidental, there is only one room left, and there will be no room if you come late." Wang Badao: "Is your inn doing good business?" Xiao Erdao: "It's not very good, it's just occasional." Zhang Qidao: "Do we have a place to tie our horses?" Xiao Erdao: "There is a place to tie up, come with me and there will be a horse shed from the gate of this yard to the backyard." As he spoke, Xiao Er led the two of them to lead the horse from a large courtyard gate next to him to the backyard.
Zhang Qi and Wang Ba followed Xiao Er to the backyard, saw that there was a carriage parked in the courtyard, and there was a horse tied to the stable, and secretly wondered in their hearts: 'Could this carriage be Zhang Zhixian and they sat here,' Thinking of this, Wang Ba said: "Xiao Er, this carriage is also a guest who just came today." Xiao Er said: "Yes, it seems to be moving." Zhang Qidao: "There are several of them. Xiao Er exclaimed, "You are here to arrest their family." Zhang Qidao: "No, how do you know that it is a family." Xiao Er said proudly: "We have seen a lot in this industry, and there are all kinds of people coming and going from the south to the north, so we naturally know what kind of people they are." Wang Ba smiled and said, "Then tell me about a few people who came in the carriage." Xiao Er said: "This carriage is hired, the coachman is not their family, that Mr. Sven seems to be an official, but he looks a little shabby, and his wife and children." Zhang Qidao: "Your eyesight is really not bad, he may be our county master, because he resigned and returned to his hometown because of illness, and we came to see him off." Which room do they live in, take us to see if it is our county magistrate. As he spoke, he tied up his horse, and the other little two came and put on the hay.
Xiao Er took Zhang Qi and Wang Ba to the door of Zhang Zhixian's house and shouted, "Mr. Zhang opens the door, and two officials are coming to look for you." Zhang Zhengqing heard an official looking for him in the room, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that Governor Li has changed his mind again, and he wants to ask himself a few times." He was hesitating, and his wife said, "Go and open the door, it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it, and it's useless to be afraid." Zhang Zhixian stepped forward and opened the door, saw Zhang Qi and Wang Ba standing at the door, and said with a cold face: "Why did you two come here?" Zhang Qidao: "Master Zhang said in our house." He turned his face to Xiao Er and said, "It's none of your business here, go and prepare some wine and food for us, and we'll go right away." After saying that, he and Wang Ba went into the room and closed the door.
When Zhang Zhengqing saw the two of them coming in, he asked, "You sit down and say, what is the matter with the two of you." The two of them sat down, and Zhang Qi said, "Let's talk about business first, we are the governor who has come to send the lord home." Zhang Zhengqing said: "Escort me home." Zhang Qidao: "Master, don't say that, we can't help ourselves, and we have to make false testimony before, if we don't say that, they will ruin our family, and we have no patience to do this." Master, you have to complain about us, beat and scold us, we have nothing to say, no complaints, just ask you not to be angry, take care of your health.
Zhang Zhengqing thought about it for a while, he was still a dignified county commander, and he had no power to resist under the powerful power of others, and he was not slaughtered by others. said calmly: "Forget it, I don't blame you, you also have your troubles, I know that Master Li is afraid that I will go to Beijing to sue the emperor, so I asked you to send me." Zhang Qidao: "I just told people that you resigned due to illness and returned to your hometown, and we sent it to you as your subordinate." Zhang Zhengqing said: "Xiexie, you two give me such a big face, don't call me master in the future, just call me sir." Wang Badao: "I think it's better to call the master on the road, and I don't cause some discussions." Zhang Qidao: "Wang Ba is right. Zhang Zhengqing said: "Let it be, you haven't eaten yet." So saying, he stood up and said, 'Go, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to get some sprinklers for you.' Zhang Qidao: "It's better for our brother to invite your whole family to eat, even if you owe it for the gift." Zhang Zhengqing said: "Don't mention the previous things in the future, please don't use it, we have all eaten." Zhang Qidao: "That's it, then we'll invite you tomorrow night, anyway, the road is still long, sir, you can rest." After speaking, he opened the door and walked out, Zhang Zhengqing sent him out of the door and stood outside for a while before returning to his room. The lady said, "These two people still have a bit of a conscience, if eating and drinking are all ours, I'm afraid it won't be enough to get home." Zhang Zhengqing said: "Yes, if they really squeeze us, we can't do anything, Madame, Ling'er, let's rest." Then he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Zhang Qi and Wang Ba ate and stayed at the hotel as expected, and when they stayed at the inn the next night, he really invited Zhang Zhengqing's family to a banquet.
At noon on the third day, Zhang Zhengqing and his party walked to a mountain ridge, on which many black pines grew, so it was called Black Pine Ridge. There are also bushes on both sides of the road. In the hot weather at noon, they went to the roadside to cool off in the shade of a tree, and ate the dry food they had brought and drank some water. At this time, Ling'er said, 'Mother, I want to defecate,' and Mrs. said, "I'll go over there and pull it." Ling'er responded and drilled into the grass, until he couldn't see it, and squatted down to defecate. Mrs. couldn't see Ling'er and hurriedly said, "Don't go to a place deep in the grass, be careful to stab your buttocks, what are the children hiding." Ling'er said, 'I won't let you see it.' Then he crouched down and didn't move.
Ling'er was pulling, and suddenly heard someone shouting: 'I planted this tree, I opened this road, I want to pass by here, and leave the money to buy the road.' Ling'er squatted in the grass and opened a little gap towards the shouting voice, startled, only to see a man of medium stature, but his head was as big as a bucket, holding a big knife in his hand, followed by more than a dozen men, all of whom had weapons in their hands, some with knives, some with sticks, some with guns, and one by one thieves walked towards this side. Ling'er secretly wondered, "Could this be a bandit?" ’
