Four officers from the Rope Hall came out from behind Mao Jiancheng, holding the ropes in their hands, and forced them towards Zhang Yuan and Mu Zhenzhen. (《》7*
Zhang Yuandao: "Wait a minute, I am the supervisor of Chengxin Hall, and this scarf was given by the imperial court. If Superintendent Mao wants to punish me for violating the rules, he needs to explain which prison rules I violated. If I am falsely accused, I will have my own explanation. After all, this is
The Imperial College is not something you, Mao Jiancheng, can cover up with just one hand."
After Zhengde, the strict prison regulations of the Imperial College had long been in vain, and the law enforcement in the Shengxing Hall only targeted the supervisors of the junior schools. As for the graduates of the Chengxin Hall and Suixing Hall, who are willing to be evil people to offend, so these four
When all the officers heard that Zhang Yuan claimed to be from Chengxintang, they all stopped and turned around to wait for Superintendent Mao's instructions——
The purple-faced South Prison Supervisor, Mao Liangfeng, was particularly confident today. He sneered: "Zhang Yuan, you are counting on Gu Jijiu to support you, right? Let me tell you, Gu Jijiu left the prison yesterday to go on business. Five days later,
Only then can I come back.”
Zhang originally wanted Mu Zhenzhen to escape first, so that he could confront Mao Liangfeng. With Gu Jijiu around, he would not suffer a loss. But if Mu Zhenzhen, a maid, was taken to the Roof Hall, she would have to kneel down again.
The interrogation was too uncomfortable, but now that he heard that Gu Jijiu was not in prison, he changed his mind. He could not go to trial with Mao Liangfeng, and he could not suffer the immediate loss. He sneered: "I see, Gu Jijiu is not here,
You dare to bend the law and abuse the punishment, you are very brave."
Mao Liangfeng shouted angrily: "Zhang Yuan, you have violated many prison rules, and you dare to be arrogant and despise the teacher. If I don't punish you severely today, how can you manage other prison students." He turned around and asked, "Have you got the shackles?"
Someone replied: "I've already gone to get it."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he was furious. What kind of rule had he violated? He even wanted to use shackles. Even if he was acquitted in the end, it was always a shame and humiliation to be shackled. This man surnamed Mao wanted to fight him to the death. He immediately turned aside.
He asked Mu Zhenzhen, who was following him closely: "Do you have the little Panlong Stick with you?"
Mu Zhenzhen responded: "Take it with you." He bent down and reached out to look under her skirt. The belt was stretched and torn. He already had a small coiled dragon stick in his hand, one long and one short, with two ends covered with iron and polished to a shiny finish.
When Mao Jiancheng saw it, he quickly took two steps back, not daring to get too close to Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuan. He stood outside the eaves in the rain and said angrily: "Zhang Yuan, how dare you resist me!"
Zhang Yuan said contemptuously: "Why don't you dare? Since you dare to pervert the law and abuse the punishment, I will break your head."
Mao Liangfeng looked around and saw that there were many people. Although Zhang Yuan's maid had two short sticks in her hands, she had nothing to fear. She nodded repeatedly and said: "Excellent, excellent. If you insult the division commander in person, you will be sent to the army."
All the crimes have been committed, and you said that I abused the punishment and perverted the law, I tell you, if there was no conclusive evidence, I would not mobilize troops like this——"
Zhang Yuan really couldn't guess how he could have fallen into the hands of this guy. Meeting Mu Zhenzhen in the shooting garden was not considered a violation, and it was not taken to the cell, but now was not the time to reason.
The right to speak rested with Mao Liangfeng, who asked: "What evidence can you put on display so that I can tremble and plead guilty?"
Mao Jiancheng was not angry but smiled: "Hey, you kid is really unwilling to die until you see the Yellow River. You are so stubborn. Then I will tell you that you were studying in the Imperial College and went to the Qinhuai prostitute's house. I have someone to witness it. Let's see what you do.
deny!"
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly. After leaving the Gongyuan exam that day, he, his eldest brother, and his third brother went to the old Qinhuai courtyard. They didn't even enter the Youlan Pavilion and Xiangzhen Pavilion. Mao Liangfeng probably wasn't referring to that.
Once, because he was not in prison at that time, and another time, two eunuchs, Zhong and Xing, invited him to visit Xuanwu Lake. At that time, Wang Wei and Li Xueyi came.
To frame him falsely, you are really doing your own thing. Mao Liangfeng is not so stupid, is he?
——And nowadays, it is common for prison students to take prostitutes and have banquets. It is against prison regulations, but it is not a serious matter. There is only one explanation: if you want to accuse someone of a crime, there is no excuse for it. Mao Liang
Feng and Song Shimian were already impatient to persecute him and wanted to expel Gu Jijiu from his studies while he was not in prison——
Seeing Zhang Yuan's frowning and thinking look, Inspector Mao sneered: "Remember, there are two turtle slaves, one big and one small. The younger one escaped, and the older one has been captured and admitted to be from the Xiangzhen Hall——
"
"Sir, I've got the shackles!"
A prison guard strode over in the rain, carrying wooden shackles and iron shackles. (《》7*
Mao Jiancheng glanced at the shackles, pointed at Zhang Yuan with his right hand, and yelled: "Tie up this scumbag who insults the teacher and is immoral!"
I'll ask you more questions later. If you dare to commit murder in the Imperial College, you deserve to be beaten to death on the spot."
Zhang Yuan knew that there was an eyebrow-level stick beside the warehouse door, which was used by Zhou Laojun to drive away weasels at night. He immediately ducked in and took out the stick, and tugged Mu Zhenzhen's hand: "Zhenzhen, let's go, who dares to stop us?"
Just fight."
The two maids jumped down the steps, and two supervisors came up to stop them. The two supervisors were bare-handed. Zhang Yuan, who was in front, did not wait for Mu Zhenzhen to take action, and struck out with his eyebrows, hitting the supervisor on the left.
At the left shoulder and neck, at the same time, Mu Zhenzhen swung out his small panlong stick with a sound of wind, knocking another prison officer to the ground——
When Mao Jiancheng saw that Zhang Yuan really dared to resist the supervisor of the Shengxing Hall, he was shocked and angry, and shouted angrily: "Catch him, catch him."
More than a dozen eunuchs and sergeants of the Imperial Academy went after them in confusion. They only brought ropes and shackles to tie people up. They never thought of using swords and guns to catch a prisoner. Then they saw that Zhang Yuan's maid had a wooden stick in her hand, and they attacked very ruthlessly.
, the two fallen guards were moaning loudly, and the others did not dare to chase too closely. They watched the two masters and maidservants running out of the Shey Garden in the rain. When they chased out of the Shey Garden, they saw the vegetable garden.
Zhang Yuan was nowhere to be seen. When he asked the veteran guarding the gate, he said that he had left the vegetable garden and ran outside——
Outside is the Pearl Bridge Market. A group of guards and sergeants dare not pursue them. They only care about matters within the prison and have no right to arrest people outside the prison. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
Inspector Mao, who was soaked in his official uniform, ran over and cursed all the supervisors for their uselessness. Mao Liangfeng was very unhappy that he could not catch Zhang Yuan on the spot, but he thought: "This kid insulted the division commander and beat the supervisor.
He can't escape the two charges, and it is justifiable to expel him from the Imperial College. Even if Gu Qiyuan comes back, he will have nothing to say."
Mao Jiancheng walked to the vegetable garden gate and looked towards the Pearl Bridge Market. It was drizzling and there were few people on both sides of the Pearl Bridge. Zhang Yuan and his maidservant had escaped without a trace.
Mao Jiancheng led a group of supervisors back to the prison hall, changed into casual clothes, and were about to see Song Siye. Suddenly, a doorman came to report that someone else was outside the prison and asked to see Zhang Yuan. Mao Jiancheng said
: "Bring it here."
Yesterday evening, the two turtle slaves were also outside the prison and asked someone to send a message to see Zhang Yuan. They were caught by Inspector Mao's men. The little turtle slave still had some martial arts skills. He knocked down a prison officer and ran away. Only one was caught.
After asking, he found out that he was from the Xiangzhen Hall. Mao Jiancheng discussed this with Song Siye all night and decided to use this matter to falsely accuse Zhang Yuan of staying in a prostitute and not returning to prison at night, just because he was not in prison to offer wine. Everything went wrong.
With Song Siye in charge, Zhang Yuan's academic status can be expunged in a swift and decisive manner——
——At that time, Inspector Mao proposed another plan to arrest Zhang Yuan and his maid while they were shooting arrows in the shooting garden tomorrow morning. In this way, Zhang Yuan would have one more crime to blame. Song Siye nodded and said: "Yes, that Zhang Yuan is arrogant and arrogant.
He will definitely resist arrest and utter offensive words, and he will be recorded in the crime book, and we will see how Master Jijiu protects him when he comes back."
It was raining heavily this morning, and Supervisor Mao was worried that Zhang Yuan would not go to the shooting garden, or that the maid would not come, but God had his wish, and everything went as expected. Zhang Yuan and the maid were in the shooting garden, and Zhang Yuan really said
He made arrogant remarks and injured two guards. Now his guilt was confirmed and all his excuses were useless. However, Zhang Yuan and the maid's escape was beyond Mao Jiancheng's expectation, but it did not harm the overall situation. Anyway, Zhang Yuan was expelled from school.
That's for sure, I just escaped a beating...
"Sir, people have been brought in - go in, kneel down, this is the prison chief, Mr. Mao."
The rain was still falling and the sky was dark. Mao Jiancheng saw a man of medium build walking into the hall. The man took off his bamboo hat in front of the bed. He was about thirty years old, wearing a cross-collar short coat, with an ordinary face and a rather energetic expression.
The police officer looked left and right, stepped forward and saluted with folded hands. Just as he was about to speak, a supervisor shouted: "Kneel down and speak!" The man hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said: "Master Supervisor, I have something to do with you.
If you want to see Supervisor Zhang Yuan, please make it convenient for me."
Mao Jiancheng asked slowly: "Who are you? Why do you see Zhang Yuan?"
The man said: "The villain is a servant of Mr. Zhang's friend. The master of the house sent the villain to deliver a message to Mr. Zhang for no other reason."
Mao Jiancheng asked again: "Who is your master?"
The man didn't answer, but he took out a small ingot of silver from his waist, put it calmly on his knees, and then said: "The owner of the house is named Xing, and he is a businessman. I would like Mr. Zhang to write a birthday message - sir."
It’s convenient.”
This man was not afraid of officials and had a calm expression. Even though he was kneeling, he had an unabashed demeanor. This made Mao Jiancheng dislike him very much. He glanced at the small silver ingot at the man's knee and shouted: "Bribery in court."
, what crime should be committed! Say, who is your master?"
The man knew that the eunuch was deliberately making things difficult, so he picked up the money and put it back into his pocket. He stood up and said, "I dropped this money on the ground. Now that I have picked it up, I have never bribed anyone."
Mao Jiancheng felt that he had been teased and became furious and shouted: "Your words and deeds are suspicious. You must have an ulterior secret when you come here. Detain him first. When Zhang Yuan is caught, the truth will be revealed - kneel down!"
This man did not kneel, but he looked solemn and asked: "What did Mr. Zhang commit?"
Inspector Mao shouted: "Zhang Yuan has repeatedly violated prison rules. Today he insulted the teacher and beat the supervisor. He will be expelled from school."
The man's expression immediately relaxed and he said: "I see, so that means Mr. Zhang is no longer in prison?"
When Mao Jiancheng saw that this man was arrogant and showed no respect at first, he actually stood upright and refused to kneel, so he ordered the man to be taken down and whipped.
Two guards were about to come forward to grab someone, but the man kept silently. At this moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "This is outrageous." He kicked the two guards to the ground with his right foot, and then several times
He stepped forward, grabbed Mao Jiancheng's chest, lifted Mao Jiancheng up from the chair, touched his waist with his other hand, took out a rectangular waist badge, handed it to Mao Jiancheng's eyes, and shouted:
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly - an eighth-grade official, you dare to be worshiped by me, you are a bitch who doesn't know whether to live or die!"
The officer in the Shengcheng Hall did not expect that such a thing would happen. The Superintendent was held hostage by others. He was panicked for a moment, but he did not dare to step forward. He just shouted and threatened——
The man waved his badge in front of Mao Jiancheng's eyes and shouted, "Did you see it clearly?"
Mao Jiancheng said in a trembling voice: "Look clearly, I am the official——"
The man didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and slapped the Prime Minister across the face. Then he pushed him into a chair and asked, "Where did Mr. Zhang go?"
The supervisors in the hall looked at each other, wondering what this man's background was. The supervisor actually called himself a lower official, and even after being beaten, he did not dare to say a word. One of them replied: "Xianggong Zhang left the prison from the vegetable garden."
The man snorted coldly, put on his bamboo hat, looked back at Mao Jiancheng who was sitting slumped, turned around and strode away.
Only then did several officers come forward to help Mao Jiancheng. Mao Jiancheng's official hat was knocked off. Half of his face was red and swollen, and he looked stupid. It took him a long time to come to his senses, straighten his clothes, sighed and went to see Song Siye.
I was stumbling on the road, lost in my thoughts, as if I had been slapped out of my mind by that man——
Si Ye's house is adjacent to the vegetable garden of the Imperial College. When Mao Jiancheng asked to see him, Song Shimian, the fifth-grade Si Ye master, had just finished breakfast. He expected that Mao Liangfeng had captured Zhang Yuan and came to report to him. Unexpectedly, when he saw him, he
, seeing Mao Liangfeng's left cheek swollen, looking panicked, he didn't care about etiquette, he came closer and said: "Master Song, something is wrong. The lower official only thought that man was a slave, but unexpectedly he turned out to be the seventh-rank commander of Dongchang.
I also forced him to kneel down to me, Mr. Song, what should I do?"
Song Shimian was confused and glared at Mao Jiancheng with disgust: "Stand away and talk."
Mao Jiancheng took two steps back and asked Mr. Si Ye to step aside so that he could speak.
Song Shimian frowned and asked the maids in the hall to retreat. Then he listened to Inspector Mao talking about what happened this morning. When he heard the scene in the Roof Hall, Song Shimian was also stunned——
…
Zhang Yuan took Mu Zhenzhen and ran out of the Nanjian vegetable garden and ran to the Pearl Bridge. Looking back, he saw that Mao Jiancheng was not chasing him. It was raining non-stop. Seeing that he could take shelter under the bridge arch, he walked to the bridge arch.
Next, he threw the eyebrow-leveling stick in his hand into the water and said: "Zhenzhen, thank you for coming today, otherwise I might not be able to escape alone, and the purple-faced plague officer would have wanted to arrest me a long time ago."
Mu Zhenzhen was originally uneasy, thinking that he came to the archery garden every day and caused the young master to foul. After hearing what the young master said, he felt relieved and asked: "Master, what is going on?"
Zhang Yuan wiped the rain on his face with his sleeve and said: "This official has some connection with Dong Qichang and wants to frame me. I don't know what the official said about the turtle slave of Xiangzhen Palace. Who did he catch?"
Certificate, I’m going to ask Li Xueyi——”
Mu Zhenzhen said: "Master, should you go to Xianggong Jiao first to talk about this matter?"
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "I want to ask Teacher Jiao to make the decision for me, but it's not easy for us to go like this."
The clothes of both of them were almost soaked, Zhang Yuan was fine, Mu Zhenzhen was just like the heavy rain that day, with big breasts and small waist showing off the mountains and dew, shadowy, but at this time Mu Zhenzhen couldn't care less about being shy, just because
The young master is worried.
