"Of course not, but we have to find a way to avoid the eyes of these people." Thinking like this, Zhaohui lowered his head and pondered. After a while, a plan came to his mind. He whispered in Hongli's ear, and Hongli agreed.
learned his ways.
They found coal ash to blacken their faces, and then found a broken wheelbarrow and a piece of white cloth. Then Hongli lay on the cart and covered him with the white cloth, while Zhaohui pushed him to the door of the Governor's Mansion.
Crying and howling.
His behavior attracted the attention of the gatekeeper, who came down and pointed at Zhaohui and said, "Hey, where did this wild man come from and dare to cry and howl in front of the Governor's Mansion?"
"Replying to the soldier, we are brothers. We came here from far away to join relatives. Unexpectedly, our relatives moved away two years ago. My brother's money was exhausted, so we discussed finding a job here.
, earn some money to go back, if you have the ability, you might as well settle here. How can we two
Yi Xun found a handyman. Unexpectedly, my brother accidentally broke the clothes of a customer while he was working. The customer beat my brother so hard that he vomited blood. He went there that night. I went
I reported it to the official, but the official said that I was not a citizen of this county and refused to accept the application. He asked me to go back to the county where I was originally from.
Go to fight, but the villain has no money to go back. He doesn’t even have the money to bury his brother. However, the bully who beat the man to death is still enjoying life and has nothing to do. The villain is helpless and hears that the Governor is just.
I am strict and love my people as my son, so I can only come here to ask the Governor to seek justice for my brother."
Zhaohui was crying and telling stories that he had made up in advance. It must be said that he was very clever. When he spoke, he did not use his original Beijing accent, but the Fuzhou accent that he had learned when he was in Fuzhou a while ago.
It's a bit unsophisticated because I didn't learn it well, but it's better than using a Beijing accent.
Zhao Hui's performance made the soldiers very sympathetic. He thought for a moment and said: "The governor is not in the mansion now. Just wait. I will ask the manager of the mansion if he can let you in."
The house is waiting."
Zhaohui bowed repeatedly and said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Bing! Thank you, Uncle Bing!"
After the soldier went in for a while, he came out with a middle-aged man and said, "This is Manager Cheng of the Governor's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Zhaohui quickly knelt down and said: "Sir, please do me a favor and let us see the Governor. Apart from the Governor, I don't know where else I can go to complain. Please show mercy and don't let the villain
My brother died unjustly."
If it were another government office, it would be useless no matter what Ren Zhaohui said, but this is the Li Governor's Office. Since Li Wei became the governor of Zhejiang, he has repeatedly told the people around him to treat the people well and treat people who have real grievances.
No
We must treat each other well, so after listening to Zhaohui's words, Manager Cheng nodded and said: "My lord is indeed not in the mansion now, but since you have been wronged, I will let you come into the mansion and wait for your return."
Bar."
Zhaohui was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, but when he was about to carry Hongli's body in, he was stopped by Manager Cheng, "If you want to complain, you can go in by yourself. As for your brother's body, it's better not to carry it in." Even if he goes in again.
No matter how approachable people are, corpse funerals should still be avoided.
"No!" Zhaohui rejected Manager Cheng's words without thinking. Others didn't know, but he knew that the body lying in the car was not a corpse at all, but Hongli. If Hongli was thrown here, something would happen if something happened.
Whatever happens is good.
Seeing the strange look on the face of Manager Cheng, he quickly covered it up and said: "To be honest, Mr. Manager, my brother and I have never been separated since he was born. Even though he is dead, how can I, the elder brother, bear to leave him alone outside?
For the convenience of the Governor, please let me and my brother go in together. Besides, after the Governor comes to investigate the case, he will also need to examine the body. Instead of going back and forth, it is better to carry it in directly."
"This..." Manager Cheng hesitated. What Zhaohui said was somewhat reasonable, but it was always not a good idea to let a dead person enter the Governor's Mansion. After thinking for a long time, he said: "That's it, you can follow me through the side door."
Let’s go, wait in the side hall first, and then make a decision after the Lord comes back.”
"Thank you, Mr. Manager." Zhaohui thanked him repeatedly and followed him through the side door. After placing them, Mr. Cheng said: "You guys just wait here. I will tell you when you come back."
you."
After Manager Cheng left, Zhaohui and Hongli, who was pretending to be a dead man, waited quietly. They waited for half a day. Seeing the sun gradually setting on the west mountain and not seeing Li Wei coming, they became anxious. At this moment, Manager Cheng left.
When he came in, Zhaohui hurriedly greeted him and said eagerly: "General Manager Cheng, but the Governor is back?"
"I'm really sorry. The Governor sent someone to report that he will stay at General Zheng's house for dinner and will come back very late. He will also be inspecting various places tomorrow, so you'd better leave first and come back in a few days.
.”
Manager Cheng's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on Zhaohui's body. After a long while, he said: "In that case, the little man will continue to wait until the Governor comes back."
Manager Cheng frowned and said: "How can this make me, little brother, listen to me and go back and wait."
"No, we must wait here for the Governor to come back!" Zhaohui's unusually determined attitude made Manager Cheng feel unhappy, and his tone was a bit colder than before, "I have finished what I have said, please leave.
Otherwise, I will have no choice but to send soldiers to take you out."
"What should we do now?" Zhaohui seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he was asking Hongli who was lying on the wooden wheel. Seeing that the manager looked like he was unwilling to let them stay and wait, but if
If I leave now, I may not have the chance to enter the Governor's Mansion, and I don't know what will happen in a few days.
Hongli understood Zhaohui's concerns, so when he heard Zhaohui's question, he lifted up the white cloth and sat up.
As soon as he sat up, General Manager Cheng was frightened. He fell to the ground with a plop, pointed at Hongli and said in a trembling voice: "Fake...deceit?"
Zhaohui helped him up and said: "Master Manager, there is no need to be afraid. It's not a fake corpse, but my brother is not dead in the first place."
"Not dead?" Manager Cheng looked at Hongli in shock and saw his shadow on the ground before he was convinced of Zhaohui's words, "Since your brother is not dead, then what you said before is also false?"
Seeing Zhao Hui nodding in acquiescence, Manager Cheng's expression suddenly became serious. He took two steps back and said cautiously: "What are the intentions of the two of you who lied to me and brought you into the Governor's Mansion? Quickly call the truth. If there is any
If you tell half a lie, I will order the soldiers to arrest you immediately."
