Soon, the two sons of Lord Shangshu were sentenced to death. Regardless of the outcome, tomorrow, the news will spread throughout Suzhou City, and within three days, everyone in the capital will know about it.
In short, the name Zhang Dongtian is going to be very popular soon. If anyone wants to ask for his autograph, they must hurry up, because in the near future, this person will either be dead or become famous. If you want to find him by then, you will be
It’s difficult…
There are many people involved in this case. The soldiers in the city defense belong to the local armed forces. Generally speaking, if the case involves the army, the higher-ups will become very sensitive. The Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War all have to show some expression and send some troops.
If a Beijing official comes down to check again, he is sure. The question is what role this person is here.
But that’s a story for another day, let’s go back to tonight.
Zhao Bian and Du Fengchun were dragged into prison. Even though they were in good spirits at first and kept threatening everyone in the prison, they shut up after a beating.
The person who beat them was not a jailer, but an inmate who was also in prison together. For some reason, the prison cells in the yamen were so tense tonight that they had to squeeze Zhao and Du into a cell with some other death row inmates.
These two men obviously have no experience in prison, and they still go their own way, thinking that ordinary people are easy to bully, so they paid a heavy price...
In fact, this situation is very similar to a modern detention center. You two young masters have just come in and have plenty of food and water. You don't have to eat for the first two days. Let the seniors share the food. Normally, you squat in that corner.
There are big eyes and small eyes next to the toilet. If you perform well, you can come over after a while and give the prison boss a backbeat and shoulder rub. If you do not perform well, then you will have to fight with that person before he is beheaded.
Let's take the toilet as a companion. Don't say you are the Master, you are the Third Prince of the Dragon King. When you enter this prison, it will depend on who has the biggest fist to speak.
Zhao Bian and Du Fengchun both grew up in a life of fine clothing and fine food. Their hobbies since their youth were traveling, eating, drinking, gambling, and occasionally harming one or two women from good families, or giving away a few who had offended them.
The unlucky guy goes to jail.
These two people never thought that today would happen. If you asked them how they felt at this moment, they would definitely write a very long paper. The central theme is eight characters: "It's not that I won't report it, but the time has not yet come."
Their retribution has indeed come, but they are not desperate yet, because they think that their father must have a way to settle this matter, and then they will slowly argue with that Master Zhang. For now... they should still be obedient.
Pretend to be a grandson.
On the other side, Wang Xu, who was handcuffed, did not return to Zui Xing Tower. After he was acquitted and released, he did not leave. He followed Mr. Zhang very obscenely, as if he wanted to go back to sleep with him...
"What are you going to do?"
"I want to go to the back hall with you."
"Huh? How brave! Can you enter the back hall of this yamen if you want?"
"I want to see Mr. Cat...oh no...it's Dr. Gu."
Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up. Wang Xu had clearly said the word "Cat Master" just now, which was the name engraved on the Ouchi secret agent gold medal. Could it be that he knew Mr. Gu's identity...
After thinking for a while, Zhang Dongtian felt that something was fishy. Although it was very satisfying that he could be a good official without any scruples today, if he thought about it carefully, in addition to punishing the two bad boys, Master Gu seemed to have helped Wang Xu from the side.
, and it is obvious to all that Wang Xu’s martial arts skills are as good as those of a hundred. Could it be that he is also...
"Well... you come with me." Mr. Zhang led the way and took Wang Xu to a room to sit down, and then said: "Wait here."
Wang Xu didn't care. He was tired from kneeling just now, so he just happened to sit down and take a rest.
After a while, Mr. Cat walked in.
"Where's Lao Zhang?" Wang Xu casually took a pot of tea and drank it, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"I want to talk to you alone, so I asked him to stay away." After sitting down, Master Mao crossed his legs and said.
"Oh, good, it will be much easier for me to talk."
Although Mr. Mao's voice was lazy, he couldn't figure out what Wang Xu was like: "How did you know you wanted to come to the back hall of this Yamen to find me?"
"Hmph... Usually when something unusual happens, I will think that you are the one behind it. I have to admit that you are indeed a master of conspiracy."
Mr. Cat smiled: "Listening to what you said, it seems that you know me very well? But I don't remember having an acquaintance like you."
Wang Xu put down the teapot: "Let me put it bluntly, you and I are not from this world."
"Oh? What do you mean, I don't understand."
"It's like... one day, you wake up from bed, only to find that you have returned to the Three Kingdoms era, and there, you also met some acquaintances, but they no longer remember their original identities, or even recognize you.
"
This statement seemed a bit bizarre to the ancients, but Mr. Cat didn't seem to be unable to understand it: "Oh...in other words, this is your situation now?"
Wang Xu nodded: "Yes, and you are one of the people I know, and you are also the only person who can give me the answer in this situation."
Mr. Cat fell into deep thought: "Looking at it this way, it's not surprising that he can call me "Master Cat" when he sees me. Maybe he already knows..."
Wang Xu had never seen Mr. Cat spend so long reasoning. Because of the limitations of knowledge in this era, it is still very difficult to answer everything around him.
"Your statement is too unbelievable and difficult to explain using common sense, but I will take it as true for the time being. I will think it over when I go back and discuss it with you again."
Wang Xu seemed to be relieved: "Okay, anyway, you know where to find me." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Shui Yingyao appeared like a ghost again: "Do you really believe him?"
Mr. Mao did not answer, but shook his head and said with a smile: "Yingyao... you can enter and exit the back hall of this yamen just like your own home. Isn't that bad?"
"Can't you talk to me more seriously?"
"Okay, okay... Let me tell you my opinion. First of all, assuming that what he said is all false, but what is the purpose? Is it to use these words to cover up that he knows the code name 'Cat Master'? Is it possible?
Don't you think any other reason would be stronger than this explanation?
The second hypothesis is that he is simply a lunatic, which I don’t think is the case. I think he is not only not crazy, but he is pretending to be confused most of the time, but in fact he understands everything in his heart.
Then there is only the last hypothesis left, and what he said is all true..."
Shui Yingyao interrupted: "If everything he said is true, then you shouldn't exist at all. This is impossible."
"It may not be possible. I will think about it slowly... I hope you won't report this matter for the time being."
"Hmph...why should I listen to you?"
"Haha... Even though you say so, you still listen to me..."
