When Sun Ling was "invaded", he was not too panic.
After all, he and Huang Jun have been a gangster in Ruyang County for so long and have been in the yamen quite a lot, so they are quite familiar with the process of being arrested.
So he also knew that he was arrested at this point in time... there should be room for mediation.
What is it now? It’s dark, and the county magistrate has already finished dinner and rested. Even if he didn’t rest, he wouldn’t have changed into official uniforms and promoted to the court to the court for trial in the middle of the night.
If nothing unexpected happens, in the case of Sun Ling, he has to be sent to prison and imprisoned for a night before he will be interrogated after dawn the next day.
And the buffering time of this night is very important... Some wealthy and powerful people can rely on their operations this night to turn black and white and get away with it.
Speaking of this, I know that the man's name has appeared in many people's minds. Yes, Chang Wei in "Nine-rank Sesame Official" is a good example. Although there are many comic-style exaggerated treatments in that film, some phenomena are correct.
Of course, Sun Ling also knew that it was unlikely to expect Huang Jun to save him; they were friends who had been playing together since childhood, but after all, they were two hooligans and scoundrels. No matter how righteous they seemed on weekdays, they were just pretending to be righteous, which was the so-called "can only share wealth and honor, not share hardships."
Sun Ling asked himself, if Huang Jun was arrested today and he ran away, he wouldn't have spent money and risky to save Huang Jun.
In this regard, these two fakes are just the opposite of the real double harmony...
Sun Ling and Huang Jun rarely say unpleasant words to each other, and they all save face for each other. Hello, I, everyone, but at the critical moment, they are at the forefront of disaster.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai usually criticize each other, "kill you sooner or later" and "I'll kill you to death", but they can still win the brothers at critical moments.
To sum up, Sun Ling put all his hopes on himself at present.
He plans to make good use of this evening and make preparations:
First of all, bribe the yamen runners and offer benefits. If the master orders to be punished when he is promoted tomorrow, these yamen runners can help him "cover".
Second hand, think about confessions, clarify the logic, and try to get rid of yourself or at least be sentenced to lightly.
From Sun Ling's perspective, if he "handled" this matter tonight well, he would not only be guilty, but he could even rely on the path of "being bravely"; for example... "I helped the county magistrate to find the property stolen by the thief, but unexpectedly he was accidentally arrested by your yamen runners, but I was afraid of hurting them, so I came back with them." This kind of saying, taking time to perfect the details may not be credible.
He thought it was pretty good, but as soon as he was taken to the county government, there was a situation he unexpectedly encountered...
He was not sent to prison as he expected, but was taken to the "back hall" by his servants.
The master does not have to go to court to examine the prisoner; some cases that are not convenient for the public to watch publicly can be tried in the later court.
But this situation is Sun Ling's knowledge blind spot, because he has never been "questioned by the back hall" before. Cases such as him and Huang Jun were all brought to court together with other similar small cases and were tried one by one, so there is no need to invite them to the back.
Today, when he was tied up with his hands, he knelt in the back hall, Sun Ling couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But he thought again: "Hey? Why did the county magistrate bring me to the back hall? The trial was launched overnight? I heard the person named 'Master Mei' under the bed saying that the money in this bag was stolen from the county magistrate's mansion. Could it be... This is a bribe accepted by the master? The county magistrate himself was afraid that the case would be made public, so he wanted to deal with it quietly?"
The more Sun Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this inference was reasonable, which made him a little more certain. Anyway, he had the identity of "Sun Yixie" as a protective umbrella, so the county magistrate dared not kill him to silence him. If he could say it was "a brave act of justice", it would be the best. If he couldn't say it, he could also use "the county magistrate didn't want to make this money" to threaten the other party.
He was kneeling there and thinking about it, "county magistrate" was here.
But I saw this master wearing a royal blue satin cloak and a scarf on his head. He was of medium height and body. Judging from his face, the county magistrate was quite young, but the beard on his mouth was not short, and it looked a bit inconsistent, as if it was stuck. In addition, the master also had a pair of particularly vivid little eyes, which grew on his face like "four eyebrows".
Seeing this, you all have undoubtedly understood that the county magistrate... was pretended to be Sun Yixie.
The real county magistrate is drinking tea with Mei Chiyang in a room next door. As for the masters who accompanied Sun Yixi to act together, the servants naturally received the orders of the master to cooperate here.
Because Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai received the promises from the two Jinyiwei bosses "Yunshui", they could do so "cheap" in such local yamen.
The county magistrate here in Zhoukou thought to himself, anyway, you are also punishing evil people, not doing anything that hurts the world. Besides, they were doing it in the back hall in the middle of the night, so it would not be spread... Then just play, I just think it's a show.
In this way, this good show of Sun Yixi's night trial of "Sun Yixi" began.
Let’s talk about Brother Sun, he appeared in a swagger and sat on a squad chair. Then he swept around Sun Ling with his small eyes, making Sun Ling feel uncomfortable.
But the "master" didn't speak, and Sun Ling couldn't speak first, so he could only kneel there and occasionally raise his eyes to steal the "county master" from time to time.
"Report to Master, this is the thief we caught... Everyone was caught." After Sun Yixie sat down, a constable came forward to report the report.
"Well..." Sun Yixiegang pondered for a while.
"Master! I'm wronged!" Sun Ling raised his head and shouted.
As a result, before he finished speaking, the soles of his shoes cried to his face.
At this moment, Sun Yixie held his right hand on the armrest of the Taishi Chair, and used his hands as a fulcrum, jumped up horizontally, and kicked forward with his legs together. The soles of his two feet just hit Sun Ling's face.
In short, how did the landlord in "Kung Fu" kick the evil god of Huoyun, and how did Sun Yixie kick Sun Ling now.
But Sun Ling is not the Fire Cloud Evil God... The Fire Cloud Evil God can even say "Use some force, I'm OK"... When Sun Ling was kicked like this, he immediately rolled out of the back and his nose and gums. Blood was flowing out of his nose and gums.
He was still confused. Sun Yixie had already sat back on his original position, crossed his legs, and said leisurely: "Master, I didn't ask you, who told you to speak without authorization? It's time to hit me!"
Sun Lingxin said, "Don't you bet? You've finished playing."
But he only dared to put this complaint in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a sound casually. This master is wrong today, so why did scholars jump up and kick people after saying a word like this? Could it be that the master in Zhoukou is the top martial arts scholar? Or is it that a nouveau riche who practices martial arts and bought an official and assigned it to him?
"I asked, you answer, do you understand?" After a few seconds, Sun Yixie saw that Sun Ling had been suppressed by him, so she curled the corners of her mouth under her fake beard and said with a smile.
"I understand... I understand..." Sun Ling knelt back again and nodded repeatedly.
Before the trial, he was thinking about what he thought, "using Sun Yixie's identity as a caller", "threat the master with money"... He has been thrown behind his mind now; gangsters like this have always bullied the less, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If you are more arrogant than him, you will be stunned by him and he will suddenly become depressed, and he may be even more cowardly than ordinary people.
Sun Yixie has dealt with more fish than he has ever eaten. Not to mention that he is a small Sun Ling, he has a way to meet a big gangster, but the story is in the following text, so I won't mention it here for now.
"I'll ask you, what's your name? Where are you? What are you doing?" Sun Yixie asked, and picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip.
Sun Ling knelt there, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "The villain Sun Yixie, a person from Hangzhou, is... well... a person in the world."
He said this himself, and the yamen runners around him almost burst into laughter after hearing this.
You are the only one in the world? Have you ever seen a person in the world kicked by a county magistrate? Are you afraid that you met Bao Qingtian, who was pretending to be Li Yuanfang?
"Huh?" Sun Yixie's "Yeah", scared Sun Ling so much that he shivered. Unexpectedly, his next sentence was, "What did you say?" He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the other party, "You are just, a gentle man, a gentle man, a compassionate person, loyal and courageous, handsome and handsome, handsome and handsome, studying hard, and improving every day... Sun Yixie, the descendant of the Sun Gate of Jiangdong?"
Fortunately, Huang Donglai is not here at this moment. If he were there, he would probably give up his plan and rushed over from the next door and shouted: "Damn, I really can't listen anymore. Are you shameless with the surname Sun?"
Not to mention Huang Dong is here, those who cooperated with Brother Sun in and outside the back hall were stunned after hearing this, and there were still people who put gilds on their faces? The key is what is the idiom "Study hard and improve every day" in the end? This is the first time I heard about it.
"Uh..." Sun Ling was stunned after hearing this, but he still replied with a stern tongue, "It's... it's right."
"Oh..." Sun Yixie nodded, "Then I'll ask you again..."
His next question is very terrible.
"In Hangzhou, you have to eat a plate of West Lake vinegar fish. From the fishermen are fished up to the dining table in a tavern in the city, how many hands are there? What is the gross profit of each hand?"
After Brother Sun finished speaking, Sun Ling almost instinctively popped up a word from his mouth: "Ah?"
Sun Yixie's expression was grim: "What? Did you not hear clearly or did you not understand?"
"No, no...I heard it..." Sun Ling quickly shook his head and responded hesitantly, "Just..."
"Just what?" Sun Yixie said, "Hangzhou Sun Party has always had contacts with the imperial court. Even I know this official. The young master and grandson of the Sun family have been operating fish markets in Hangzhou for many years. Could it be that you...Your son, Sun, have only been leaving Hangzhou for a few months, and you forgot all these things?"
At this time, Sun Ling was catching it from the water, and the cold sweat was almost coming out of her clothes.
He never expected that, let alone the money, he asked in a few words and asked his impostor on the spot...
Once he loses the protection of his identity as "Sun Yixie" and becomes the gangster Sun Ling, he may be in danger tonight.
"Oh! Sir, are you asking about that?" Otherwise, this unruly man has his own wisdom. In a hurry, Sun Ling became wise and pretended to have a sudden enlightenment. "Hey, I just didn't understand that because your words are different from ours. You just want to ask... After fishing, you have taken a few hands, right? This...that...third hands."
He started to make up because he suddenly thought that the county magistrate must not know anything like this. What can a scholar know about selling fish? Even if he talks nonsense, it will be difficult for the other party to tell the truth.
In this way, Sun Ling began to make up random things and said while thinking. Although he didn't understand the transactions in the fish market, he still knew how much it would cost when a plate of fish was served at the tavern table. Anyway, he would just peel it up and guess it at this price.
Sun Yixiu listened to his misunderstood answer and laughed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to have been deceived, nodded and said, "Oh~ So that's it. It seems that you are really Sun Yixi's Young Master Sun..." As he said that, he bowed, "I'm so respectful and disrespectful."
What does it mean to play with? It means you have to give the other person a breather.
As the saying goes, can I give me time to listen to the story before saying goodbye until I hear it.
This matter must have ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs... This rhythm constantly puts pressure on the other party is like a water beating, allowing the other party to take a breath from time to time to make the other party more painful.
At this moment, Sun Ling thought he had successfully gotten through it, and immediately felt relieved and almost collapsed on the ground. He also twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, and replied, "You are polite, just a false reputation."
"Okay, then I will ask you again..." Sun Yixie quickly continued, "Why do you carry the silver from my house on you?"
When Sun Ling heard this, he finally asked this, he quickly replied, "Sir, Cao Min was just walking on the road and saw a figure running sneakily with a big bag. I felt that his behavior was suspicious, so he stepped forward to stop him and wanted to ask what was going on.
"I didn't expect... this man immediately drew his sword without saying anything, trying to be unfavorable to me. Fortunately, my martial arts are not bad. After a hard battle, I injured him. Seeing that the situation was not good, he threw down his bag and ran away. Then I picked up the bag and opened it and saw that it was full of silver...
"Sir, you know that we knights have always been indifferent to fame and fortune and cannot be greedy for this ill-gotten fortune, so I wanted to send it to the government with a baggage.
"I didn't expect that when I walked halfway, I was surrounded by all the constables. Although I knew this was a misunderstanding, I couldn't explain it clearly for a while. I was afraid that I would hurt them and cause even greater misunderstandings, so... I simply let them tie me up and come here."
At first glance, he really can't find any problem with his words, because there is no evidence in the doubts inside, and it cannot be proved or falsified.
