He arranged for Lei Wanchun to sleep and rest, and then sent someone to invite Nan Jiyun and asked him to be a temporary bodyguard for a few days to prevent anyone from getting mad and doing something crazy. Zhang Xun and Wang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
He rode his horse towards Wannian County Yamen.
Walking onto the street again, the two suddenly discovered that there were very few people on the street today. It was almost noon, and many shops on both sides of the road were deserted. Even if there were a few people who came out to shop occasionally, they would leave their money, buy something and then leave.
I don't want to stay on the street for a moment longer.
Wang Xun felt very uneasy in his heart. This was completely different from the Chang'an in his memory. He sent his boy Wang Xiang around to find out what happened. After a while, Wang Xiang ran back panting and whispered.
Huihui reported: "Wannian County Yamen announced in the middle of the night yesterday that they were going to arrest the gangsters and ransacked several houses where out-of-towners often stayed. But this morning around 3:30, they suddenly withered and evacuated.
Everyone didn’t know what was going on, so they all became more careful..."
Wang Xun and Zhang Xun looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing in their hearts why the turmoil came to an end. It must have been that Yang Guozhong had received the news from Mrs. Guo Guo and took action decisively. That was why the Yamen of Chang'an and Wannian counties had to cease operations.
The gods finally went into battle in person. The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads, feeling helpless and a little disappointed. A few days ago, no one expected that the situation would develop to such an extent. But the experience of these few days has made
Everyone, including Wang Xun, has gained more than one level of understanding of the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty.
Yinliu came to the Wannian County Yamen, handed in the door bag, and the officer on duty went in to report. After a while, the arrester Sun Renyu ran out on his butt. When he saw Wang Xun from a distance, he immediately shouted loudly in front of everyone
He yelled, "Oh, I'm talking about my cousin. If you don't do business well, why are you always coming to my place? I don't know what's going on in the yamen these days? If you have anything to say, you can't go home and say it!"
While yelling, he kept making glances at Wang Xun. Through the previous interactions, Wang Xun had already figured out this person's nature, and immediately smiled, handed over his hand and apologized, "Cousin, I didn't know you were so busy.
I passed by here at noon, thinking that my cousin might be free to have a cup of tea with me, so I rashly turned over! Why don't you get busy first, and I'll find you at home in the evening?"
"Now that you're here, don't delay it until night. You, don't be so reckless in the future!" Sun Renyu, the head catcher, became more and more proud, rolled his eyes, and said angrily. Turning his head, he apologized to the officer on duty at the door.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Brothers, my cousin is spoiled and not very sensible..."
"Sun Tou, go ahead and do your work. Anyway, the Lord is not here at the moment. If anyone asks you later, we will tell you that you have gone to the latrine!" The guard on duty at the door had just accepted the benefits of "Kong Youfang", how could he not give it to "Zhou Kuo"
"A bit of face. He smiled and waved his hand gently.
"Then I'll be lazy for a while!" Captain Sun bowed to everyone, and then turned to Wang Xun, "Let's go, there is a teahouse not far away, let's go and get some food first. Your sister-in-law is a
The food cooked by country women is extremely salty..."
Wang Xun smiled knowingly and pulled Zhang Xun to follow Sun Renyu. Not far from the gate of the county government office, he turned a corner and came to a very quiet small teahouse. Since the teahouse was opened near the government office, the passing guests
They are definitely not here for tea. Therefore, the teahouse owner is also very considerate of the guests' thoughts and has opened a lot of private rooms on the second floor. Each room has double-layer wooden boards with straw as the wall. The guests in the room speak loudly.
Even if it is accidentally a little higher, there is no need to worry about the partition wall having ears.
It was obviously not the first time that Sun Renyu came here. He led Wang Xun to the innermost room on the second floor. He ordered the waiter to serve tea, then closed the door tightly and explained to Wang Xun in a low voice, "Just now
If so, the young Marquis will just think that I am farting, and don’t take it personally. I have no choice but to do so. The situation has been a bit tense recently, and people in the yamen are always suspicious..."
"Cousin, don't be polite!" Wang Xun shook his head and said with a smile, "In front of outsiders, you can say whatever you want. I know in my heart that you are doing it for my own good."
"After all, it's Mr. Hou who knows better than us errands!" Sun Renyu smiled again and cupped his hands, apologizing for his behavior just now. "To tell you the truth, even if you don't come in person in a few days, I will definitely go there in the evening.
The house is looking for you. Your friend is in big trouble!"
"What's wrong? Is there still trouble that my cousin can't settle?" Wang Xun smiled and sat down, holding a small silver ingot under his fingers.
"It's not a matter of settling the matter, the little Marquis doesn't know..." Sun Renyu's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the white light exposed in the gap between his fingers turning into color, "This matter is a bit involved. I
Let me tell you this, everything was fine until yesterday. Although I asked about the case once, I took the money you rewarded and took care of all the brothers who should be taken care of. So although brother Yuwen suffered again
Forty boards, but there are no new injuries on the body. But this morning, the housekeeper of Taipu Yang's Mansion actually came to my lord with a name card and ordered my lord to release brother Yuwen on the spot. My lord hesitated for a moment, and the housekeeper
He said harsh words in front of all the brothers and asked my lord to consider what to do. Take a look, isn't this just sitting on someone's neck and shitting? No matter how bad my lord is, he is still the county magistrate of the second county in the world.
Sir, why should he, a mere butler in Taipu Yang’s house, issue orders to the Wannian County Yamen?"
"Is your master making trouble for Yuwen Zida?" Wang Xun was surprised and asked with concern. He had only considered that forcing Yang Guozhong to take action would reduce the pressure on Yu Wenzhi. But he did not expect that Yang Guozhong would
This move was obviously to ask for someone from the Wannian County Yamen, but in fact it was a borrowing trick to force the Wannian County Yamen to kill Yu Wenzhi.
"Not yet." Sun Renyu looked at the silver ingot under Wang Xun's finger and swallowed softly, "My lord originally wanted to trouble your friend immediately, but last night the county's number one arrester, Xue Rongguang, was arrested.
He was seriously ill and didn't come to answer today. My family was worried about that guy's health, so after receiving the report from his family, he temporarily put aside the thought of punishing your friend and hurried to Xue's house!"
"Do you know what kind of disease Mr. Xue has? How is his condition?" Wang Xun loosened his fingers and pushed the silver ingot over.
"I don't know!" Sun Renyu saw the silver and immediately forgot everything. He rushed forward with both hands and quickly held down the silver. "I really don't know. The person who reported the news didn't come until almost noon. He was so mysterious. I guess this
The disease is not serious!"
"Why are you anxious? No one can take it from you!" Wang Xun knew that he had learned how to deal with this kind of people. "But I will put the ugly words at the beginning. If Yuwen Zida has something wrong with you, here it is for you.
I will get back your money with ten times the interest. If you don’t believe me, you can try it!”
"I, how dare I! Young Lord Marquis, aren't you trying to kill me?" Sun Renyu grinned, and his voice immediately sounded like he was crying. He was destitute for most of his life and spent almost all his savings before he bribed his superior to be transferred to Chang'an.
To catch the boss. Almost all the remaining money currently in hand was obtained from Wang Xun, and every time a large part was allocated to take care of his superiors and colleagues, and soon he would lose five out of ten. In the future, Wang Xun will not
He was told to repay it with ten times the interest, even if he paid nothing, it would be enough to force him to sell his son and daughter.
"I don't want anyone's life, I just want to save my friend's life. I will continue to ask others to let him out. But if he dies in prison, you also know the tempers of my other friends.
..." Wang Xun smiled and tapped his fingers slowly on the table.
"I know, I know!" Sun Renyu couldn't wait to express his position, "I try my best, I have tried my best. But, little Marquis, I am new here. There are many things in the yamen that I can't get involved in! My master, the last
The ones I trust are still the same ones."
"Isn't Xue Captou sick?" Zhang Xun, who had been sitting next to him silently, suddenly interrupted.
"Yeah?" Sun Renyu was stunned and responded smoothly.
"Who else is your master's confidant besides Xue Captou? For example, if he wants to do some shady things, whose hands usually go through it?" Looking into Sun Renyu's eyes, Zhang Xun continued to ask.
"This one!" Sun Renyu trembled, not daring to look at Zhang Xun. He lowered his head, thinking hard, and responded slowly, "The first one in line must be Xue Captou. The second one is probably the chief clerk.
Sir, but he doesn't care much about things in the yamen. There is also the prison boss Lao Li, but Lao Li is a girl who has breasts. It's hard to say about the rest. Anyway, everyone does this job to support their families.
.For ordinary trivial matters, everyone is willing to run errands if the county grandpa sends a message. If the county grandpa goes too far, everyone does not want to lose their job just because of a few words of praise."
"You also know that you will lose your food? That magistrate Zhang is going to kill Yuwen Zida in prison, right?" Zhang Xun smiled, his eyes getting colder and colder.
"I don't know!" Sun Renyu ducked to the side and argued instinctively. However, he was stared at with Zhang Xun's knife-like eyes, unable to escape. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I really don't know. I'm a newbie."
Come on, they hide everything from me. In this yamen, almost everyone from top to bottom is from my master and Xue Baotou. If I interfere too much, I'm afraid I will have to get involved sooner or later!"
"Then don't you think about it, can your adults handle this matter? He is a scholar, so he can't do it on his own! If you do him this favor, you won't be afraid that after the incident, he will blame all the blame.
Are you waiting for me?" Zhang Xun put his hands on the table and asked questions like he was interrogating a prisoner.
"I'm just an errand boy, I don't dare to think so much." Sun Renyu still lowered his head, his voice full of grievances. "They can do whatever they want, I won't ask more questions, and I won't interfere too much!"
"I advise Brother Xue to think more about it!" Zhang Xun shook his head, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. "You know in your heart that this case has already implicated Jingzhao Yin, the Imperial Servant Yang Guozhong, and your lord
I'm afraid he's just an errand boy. If things get big in the end, he may not be able to cover up the whole situation with one hand. Once he capsizes, even if you don't do anything, will there be any good results?"
"Actually, everyone doesn't feel at ease. But there is no way, he is our immediate boss after all." Sun Renyu sighed and said with some frustration.
"That's why Xue Captou got sick inexplicably." As long as he doesn't lie to others, Zhang Xun can always tell the truth clearly, "Yesterday afternoon, I guess he was fine! I'm afraid he was very sick in one night.
Get up, is it because you have done too many bad things and suddenly suffered a plague? Why is the housekeeper of Yang Guozhong's house so arrogant? When he is not sure, don't he know how to retreat to advance and temporarily avoid the edge? Think about it carefully, and then advise you to get familiar with it.
Think about it, too. Your adults would risk their lives just to get promoted, so what are you waiting for? That’s it, just wait and do what you want!”
After that, he stood up and walked out. Sun Renyu shivered again, and hurriedly chased after him, grabbing Zhang Xun's sleeves tightly, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, don't be angry. I will, I will find a way.
Protect brother Yuwen. Even if we risk our own future, we will let him escape this disaster safely."
"There is no need to delay for too long. I just hope that you can keep Zida safe within seven days. Maybe in less than seven days, you will see the result of this matter with your own eyes!" He shook off the other party's hand hard, and suddenly, Zhang Xun
The aura on his body was extremely fierce.
"Ah!" Mr. Sun was stunned again and took half a step back. He couldn't believe his ears and eyes. He didn't care at all about the background of Zhou Kuo at first. But today it seems that this person is not only interested in the Yamen.
Those tricks are very clear, and they are full of official authority. I am afraid that their true identity is far above that of Wang Xiaohou.
What level would it be for someone who could make the Wang family's young prince serve as a follower? Sun Renyu didn't dare to think about it anymore. When he heard about the rumors that Xue Captou was seriously injured by an assassin in his own home, he suddenly discovered that this person in the capital
The water was really too deep. He, a little head catcher from out of town, couldn't wade through it. Maybe if he wasn't careful, he would step into the whirlpool and his body would be gone.
If he had known this, why would he have broken into a cave and transferred himself to the capital? Wasn't he asking for trouble for himself? He cursed himself secretly, and suddenly felt regretful in his heart.
