[Section 49] Persuasion
Wu Yiguo took 600 taels from Prime Minister Ye's Mansion and had already planned how to distribute them.
This money will be used to bribe Xiao Liu and another young jailer, each with one hundred taels.
Spend another 200 taels to sell off the young leader Xiao Meng, so you will have 200 taels left.
The remaining two hundred taels were put aside for emergencies. There were still many people to take care of, so he had to make careful plans.
Wu Yiguo handed the two hundred taels to Narcissus and told her to hide them.
He took the broken silver that he wanted to give to others, put it in his bag, and went to a wine shop outside the prison to sit and wait for them to have a drink after their shift changed.
This money to buy a life is enough for their family to live for a lifetime. If it weren't for this price, no one would be willing to do this.
Xiao Liu came out of get off work from the Fusi side gate in Beizhen. When he saw Wu Yiguo, he gestured with his mouth to follow them.
A group of people came to Xiao Liu's house and unloaded their equipment.
Xiao Liu warmed a pot of wine, warmed four cups on the table, put a plate of melon seeds and a plate of peanuts, and the four of them drank.
The atmosphere was a bit tense. No one wanted to talk about the prison first, and they chatted about random things.
Seeing that everyone had drunk a little and the atmosphere was a little warmer, Wu Yiguo winked at Xiao Liu frequently.
Xiao Liu cleared his throat and said, "Brother Meng, Brother Yan wants to talk to you about that matter again."
"Master Yan, it's okay for us to drink. Don't make it difficult for me. I can't handle this."
"Mr. Meng, it's like this. I also made it clear that I would like to ask you to do me a favor and give me some air. Give me a message and take care of you inside. Don't be too harsh."
"Master Yan, you have to know that we are just guards, and the ones who do it are the Jinyi guards. We have no control. At best, we clean and deliver food to these six people, which is not our control. And, sigh... I think they will be gone soon.
."
"I know that in the past, if you paid a little money, you would use your punishment appropriately. But I also know that this matter is difficult for six people. But these six people are really innocent, and I can't stand it when they are tortured like this."
"Let me tell you, I don't understand. What is your relationship with them, Master Yan? Why do you want to get involved in this matter? I really don't understand. Wouldn't it be nice for you to be your old man and live out your life in peace?"
"To be honest, Mr. Zuo and I have a relationship and are kind to me. I admire Mr. Zuo's demeanor and am willing to repay him with my small efforts."
"This, brother, what you are serving is not an ordinary thing, it is...a big...thing! Last time, I served a few adults some food. Because it was a simple task, I did it easily, but this time, oops,
Let me tell you, this matter is not as serious as usual."
"I know," Wu Yiguodao said. "I don't want to rob the prison, and I don't want you to save anyone. I just want you to bring a letter or take me in for a meeting."
"Take you in? You're crazy!"
"Brother, I have studied this matter with Master Yan. He can pretend to be me and get in. If you don't tell, no one else will know."
"It's different this time. This matter is directly under the command of Xu Xianchun. He will come and see us every three days to see what we should do if something goes wrong."
"Mr. Meng, I know numerology and can tell bones and read faces. I can see that you are a passionate man. You know that these six people are innocent and have been wronged. You are upright, and you must also feel for this in your heart.
The six adults must be sorry."
"Hey, I know everything you said. To be honest, I really think that Mr. Yang, Mr. Zuo, Mr. Gu, and Mr. Zhou are all good people and they were all framed." Xiao Meng patted his own face.
Thigh said.
"Don't tell me, Mr. Yang, Mr. Zuo is really amazing. Our jailers admire him from top to bottom. Every time after five days of chasing each other, he was beaten to the death. Mr. Yang never shouted, never shed a drop of tear, and didn't
I have complained, but he is full of toughness and courage. I have been in prison for so many years, and I have never seen anyone so tough. I have not read much and have never seen the world, but I also know that Mr. Yang is great, and I also believe in Yang.
The adults should be unjustly accused."
"Mr. Meng, please do it. You understand, this is not about money, it's about doing good deeds. You said the jailer doesn't have much blood on his hands. If you do something good, it can also be considered as a good deed for future generations."
"You, you, you, please don't embarrass me." Xiao Meng turned his head and didn't want to look at Wu Yiguo.
Wu Yiguo threw the money out and threw it on the table, "Today, you two have to help me once." After saying that, Wu Yiguo stood up, opened the door, and brought someone in.
This man was wearing a torn green robe, but the clothes were washed very clean, but there were a few patches. He was short and lean, with a dark face and shining eyes. As soon as the young man came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"How can you do this? Get up quickly."
"If you don't agree, I won't get up." The young man said. He kept kowtowing.
"Okay, okay, you two get up, we have something to discuss."
"Thank you Master Meng. Shi Kefa thanks Master Meng on behalf of Master Zuo." The young man kneeling on the ground and kowtowing with tears on his face was called Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa said with gratitude and determination, "I am a closed student of Mr. Zuo. My wife sent me to take care of Mr. Zuo. I stopped by to visit and see if there is anything I can do to help. Mr. Zuo is a most loyal and filial scholar. He should not suffer this disaster."
."
"I know, I know everything."
"I have a way. As long as Mr. Meng is willing, it will be easy to do." Wu Yiguo said.
Soon after saying it, "Oh...oh" was heard twice, and Xiao Liu and the other young jailer suddenly swayed, holding on to the table, and fainted to the ground.
Suddenly, Xiao Meng also felt dizzy and his body could hardly support himself. He was about to collapse when his vision went dark.
Wu Yiguo immediately reached out to support Xiao Meng, took out a snuff bottle from his arms with his left hand, and sniffed it under Xiao Meng's nose.
The snuff bottle gave off a strong aroma, but to Xiao Meng it smelled like an overpowering rancid smell, and he immediately felt refreshed.
"You poisoned us?"
"Yes, the wine has been poisoned. The two of us are going to jail, so we can only pretend to be the two of them. I knocked them out first. Don't worry, it's not poison, it's just a drug. They will sleep for a day and a night. This
After a while, Mr. Meng, you can take us in."
"You, this is a serious matter of beheading." Xiao Meng wanted to push Wu Yiguo away, but his hands were weak.
"You are already involved in this. Instead of getting beheaded, you might as well do something good."
While talking, Wu Yiguo had already taken off the clothes of Xiao Liu and another jailer and gave them to Shi Kefa to put on.
He took out two more human skin masks and put them on respectively. Wu Yiguo looked at Xiao Liu and pinched the mask on Shi Kefa's head. After a while, Xiao Liu with a slightly swollen and fat face appeared.
Then Wu Yiguo looked at a basin of water by candlelight and made himself look like another jailer.
Xiao Meng watched Wu Yiguo do all this and did not dare to say anything.
Wu Yiguo spent about two hours burning incense before getting his appearance and clothes ready. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have thought that the two people looked exactly the same as the two people lying on the ground.
"How is it, Mr. Meng, is it okay?" Wu Yiguo said.
"It's really similar. If you don't talk, I really can't tell the difference. Is this a witchcraft?" Xiao Meng said in horror.
"It's either black magic or disguise. What do I mean? If you have seen the skills of the disguise family, their unique skills are really the best in the world."
"This, this, this..." Xiao Meng was still frightened.
