In the early morning of the next day, Changsun Geng sent him a written statement of the case of escaping from prison last night. After Lin Fu signed it, he sent it to the prosecutor's office for discussion and filing. He stayed at the mouth of the river until noon before setting off for the city, asking Liu Yue'er to follow him.
He went into the city together. Liu Yue'er has been living outside the city for more than a month. Although he can entrust other people to buy things that he usually needs to buy in the city, it is always inconvenient to entrust others to buy their personal belongings. Besides, he is bored in the city all day long.
Hekou Thatched Cottage will become boring after a long time, and occasionally you need to go to the city to change your mood.
After entering the city, Lin Fu had to go to the Procuratorate to visit the dock. At noon, he also invited his colleagues to a restaurant to connect with each other, and asked Liu Yue'er to go hang out in Dongshi first. Although the rich and powerful people in the city, especially near Dongshi, live there
, the security of the place where the yamen are concentrated is much better than outside the city, but it is inevitable that there will be crazy people in the market. Lin Fu brought four bodyguard soldiers into the city, and asked the four bodyguard soldiers to escort Liu Yue'er in a carriage.
Go to Dongshi. Lin Fu is only a ninth-grade prison officer at this time. After entering the city, he still needs to keep a low profile. When he goes to the Yamen of the Inspectorate, he only takes Zhou Pu with him as a guard.
The story of escaping from prison last night had been spread in the Inspectorate. As soon as Lin Fu arrived at the Inspectorate, he wanted to pay homage to his immediate superior, Inspector Xiao Xuanchou, but was blocked by Yang Pu. Gu Wuchen asked him to go over immediately.
"I asked Yang Shi to come to the city early in the morning. Has Uncle Yang met him?" Lin Fu also wanted to have a good relationship with Yang Pu privately, and would not be cold-blooded in his official position. Although Yang Pu was a servant of Gu's family, he followed him.
Gu Wuchen went through life and death, and even if Gu Siyuan dared to act like a young master to Yang Pu, he would teach Gu Wuchen a lesson, and Lin Fu would naturally not be ungrateful.
"I've seen it. His mother left him in the house and delayed her business..." Yang Pu said. He also talked to his son for a while in the morning. Before he was released from prison, he knew in his heart that Yang Shi had feelings for Lin Fu.
He was prejudiced, so he was worried that Yang Shi would have a conflict with Lin Fu after arriving on the island, so that Lin Fu could find a chance to repair it. However, when Yang Shi came back this time and mentioned Lin Fu, his attitude was completely different from before. Gu Siyuan even showed his disdain for Lin Fu.
Yang Shi's attitude at that time became obviously cold. Yang Pu was still a little worried. The light that Lin Fu bloomed in this short period of time was so dazzling that it made people feel dazzling. However, Gu Wuchen was not interested in Lin Fu.
However, he trusted and relied even more, and allowed Lin Fu to use Jiyun Society for personal gain. Yang Pu thought that maybe his worries were unfounded. No matter how strong and ambitious Lin Fu was, he was only a ninth-grade civil servant from Juzi, so how could he stop him?
host?
Lin Fu didn't know what Yang Pu was thinking, so he followed him to see Gu Wuchen first, and walked into the hall where Gu Wuchen was doing official business. When he saw that his immediate boss Xiao Xuanchou was also there, he realized that Gu Wuchen had business with him and he also bowed according to the rules.
Asked: "You two adults have been summoned, what do you want to tell me?"
"Did the recognizance letter you sent me this morning about escaping from prison be a true statement?" Gu Wuchen asked someone to bring a chair to Lin Fu and sit in front of his case.
"I dare not deceive you two adults," Lin Fu said.
"That's good," Gu Wuchen handed the recognizance letter to Xiao Xuanchou, the inspector, and said, "I'll ask Xiao Qianshi to go over and verify the situation clearly before submitting it to Mr. Jia..."
"Master Gu, please be cautious. Others would have written about such virtuous things in great detail..." Xiao Xuanchou said.
"It's better to be cautious." Gu Wuchen said with a smile.
When Lin Fu heard that Gu Wuchen wanted Xiao Xuanchou to go to the prison island to verify his escape from prison last night, he hurriedly said: "When will Mr. Xiao get up and I will go back with you?"
"It's a rare trip to the city, so it doesn't matter," Gu Wuchen said with a smile, "It also prevents you from doing anything to me when you go back. Xiao Qian's business is over, and there will be a book office on the island to state the case..."
After Xiao Xuanchou exited, Gu Wuchen said: "You have done a good job in this matter. When Xiao Qian comes back to verify the matter and stop others' mouths, the Inspector will first submit a document to the Ministry of Punishment to ask for credit; depending on the attitude of the Ministry of Punishment, I will then Write a letter to Duke Tang and Prime Minister Zhang to see if it can be used to make the Metropolitan Procuratorate hear about the incident and come to see it..."
"I'm afraid it's inevitable that some people will accuse this woman of being benevolent..." Lin Fu didn't expect that Gu Wuchen would take this matter so seriously. He was a little worried when he heard that he might submit it to the imperial government and report it to the emperor.
"When Emperor Gaozu prepared the Iron Book to establish the criminal code, he established the system of 'compassion for punishment and mercy on prisoners'. 'Escape from prison in order to increase the punishment' is still a virtuous thing. It is consistent with the holy teachings of Emperor Gaozu. It is inevitable to slander him, but does anyone dare to say it clearly?" Gu Wuchen was very clear about the pattern of official articles, so he comforted Lin Fu and said.
Lin Fu sighed slightly in his heart. At this time, there was bad news everywhere. Maybe this trivial matter was needed to whitewash the peace. This matter was also of great benefit to Gu Wuchen. Once this matter could be included in the imperial examination, it would be equivalent to giving Bringing up the issue of prison city again will pave the first step in the central government, and the Inspector General will also take credit for it.
Seeing that Gu Wuchen had made up his mind, Lin Fu had no other words to say. He only said: "It's all due to the supervision of adults. Xiao's guidance is also good, and Prison Island has achieved the current results..." According to the rules, if you really want to invite Gong is also done by the envoy and the deputy envoy. The name of the person who signed the signature is in front. Everything has just started here. Lin Fu is afraid that if the gong is too obvious and moved elsewhere, the gain will outweigh the loss. Of course, the possibility of this is low. Gu Wuchen would not let him leave the prison island at this time.
Gu Wuchen smiled and said: "We just met yesterday. You have other things to do when you come to the city, so don't stay here with me..."
Lin Fu didn't treat Gu Wuchen politely. The colleagues he hosted for lunch were all low-level officials of the Inspector General's Department. Gu Wuchen's presence would make everyone feel restrained. They talked for a while in Gu Wuchen's room, which was nothing more than the official of the Inspector General's Department. There is a run on the government department and trivial matters that make it difficult to move forward.
In other counties, the Inspection and Envoys Department has the power of supervision. Whatever the Inspection and Envoys Department wants to do, the Xuanfu Envoys Department and the Admiral's Office are very cooperative, and the lower-level yamen such as prefectures and counties are even more obedient. However, Jiangdong County has a special situation. Jiangning Prefecture and Jiangning Garrison The General's Mansion is originally a super government office that is equal to or even higher than the Third Division. In addition, there are many high-ranking officials in the city. Although some mausoleum guards have no real power, their reputation and influence are great, making the situation in Jiangning much more complicated than in other counties. Times a hundred times, it’s no wonder that Gu Wuchen encountered many obstacles despite the aura of being a new member of the Chu Party.
It is precisely because Gu Wuchen is a new member of the Chu Party, and the Chu Party is expected to take over the center. The local forces in Jiangning are even more wary of Gu Wuchen, and do not want a strong figure to upset the original balance of local forces, a secret stumbling block. There are endless cases. In the eyes of many officials in Jiangning, the previous tragic refugee cases were regarded as someone secretly stumbling upon Gu Wuchen. When Gu Wuchen wanted to thoroughly investigate the case, he naturally encountered many obstacles, and finally had no choice but to let it go.
No matter good or bad, the story of escaping from prison has long been spread in the yamen. No matter what other people think, Lin Fu is now a popular member of Gu Wuchen's family, and Gu Wuchen is a new member of the Chu Party. Everyone is optimistic that Gu Wuchen will take over as the inspector.
Because of his position, Lin Fu heard compliments during the banquet.
After the banquet, Lin Fu went to Dongshi to meet Liu Yue'er. He had already made an appointment with Lin Mengde to meet at Dongyang Guild Hall. Seeing that there was still some time left, he planned to go to Dongyang Guild Hall together after finding Liu Yue'er.
Although there are still shops in Jiangning City, there are no tall walls like those in the previous dynasties. Dongshi is located where rich families and powerful officials gather. It is actually a high-end goods market in Jiangning City. Ordinary citizens rarely go to Dongshi.
People come to the market for shopping, but after all, it is an open market, and it is inevitable that people from the market will come here to fish in troubled waters.
As they approached the East Market, there were more and more people walking on the street, so Lin Fu and Zhou Pu led their horses.
"look……"
Zhou Pu stopped his horse and reminded Lin Fu to look up at the top of a teahouse. Lin Fu looked over and saw that under the eaves of the second floor of the teahouse, Wang Chao, the son of King Xueshan of Jiangning Prefecture, was leaning out most of his body and heading toward the East Market with his head raised.
See it in Xiuyifang.
Lin Fu and Zhou Pu covered their sight with the pedestrians on the street, but when they saw Wang Chao's appearance, they knew what was going on in Xiuyifang. Lin Fu was worried that Liu Yuer was still in Xiuyifang, although there were four
With the guards accompanying him, there shouldn't be any trouble, so we should hurry up and squeeze towards Dongshi. Lin Fu walked past the tea shop and looked back. Wang Chao also saw others, and Wang Chao was startled.
When Lin Fu retreated to the teahouse, he felt something was wrong.
Seeing people gathered in front of them, I squeezed past, only to see Liu Yue'er and Miss Gu Junxun surrounded by a group of market scoundrels. Gu Junxun was dressed as a woman, but his hair crown or headscarf was thrown away somewhere, and his hair was falling down like a waterfall.
The daughter's true appearance was revealed. Fortunately, the four bodyguards sent by Lin Fu to protect Liu Yue'er were all there. However, there were so many people in the market that they could only stop them from attacking Liu Yue'er and Gu Junxun.
Move your feet.
Lin Fu and Zhou Pu leaned over, only to hear the scoundrels surrounding them saying obscene words without doing anything:
"Which family's lady is here, disguised as husband-in-law, to steal a man? She said it so that all the folks in Xiuyifang will know..."
"At this moment, another beautiful lady came out, one dressed as husband-in-law. Could it be that she was pretending to be a phoenix?"
"You don't know. Nowadays, official families are very particular about having two women in the same room. Both women are pretty and charming, and they are so anxious to leave. I don't know which man to go with to be cheaper than the one who sings in Goulan Courtyard."
The drama also makes people feel itchy..."
"If you really want to find out which family this young lady is from, please ask Mr. Liu Er from Xingtianfang to write a drama about it in Jiangning City..."
"Look at the military uniforms. These four little soldiers are the jailers of Jiangdao Prison. Maybe these two beautiful daughters are female prisoners in Jiangdao Prison. Even though they look so beautiful, they might be taken to some house in the city.
You go to a brothel to sell your body..."
"Yes, I heard a few days ago that some female prisoners from Jiangdao Prison were taken to a restaurant in Quyang Town to be sold. I have played with such a bitch, but the female prisoners haven't played with it yet. Which brothel did you go to? Brother
A few of them will definitely come to support me."
Lin Fu and Zhou Pu listened for a while and realized that this matter had nothing to do with Wang Chao, who had just leaned over from the teahouse to watch the show. He was clearly targeting the Gu family. These scoundrels intercepted people in the street and made obscene remarks.
The patrolmen who could be encountered at night in the East Market were nowhere to be found; these scoundrels only used words to provoke them, blocking Liu Yue'er and Gu Junxun with a human wall to prevent them from leaving, and the four guard soldiers who were full of obscenities actually rushed to the crowd.
Gu Junxun’s identity...
Liu Yue'er was calmer. Gu Junxun had never seen this scene before. He was ashamed and angry, his face was red, he was so anxious that he almost cried, and he was so scared that he didn't see Lin Fu coming over, but he also knew that he couldn't repay him at this time.
Father's name, otherwise these people in the market will definitely fabricate scandals and rumors that are detrimental to the Gu family. The other pedestrians in the East Market were just watching the fun, and even felt that it was enriching for two beautiful women to be teased like this.
In their spare time, no one stood up to save the beauty, probably because they were afraid that this group of market scoundrels would be difficult to deal with.
Wang Chao shrank back when he saw Lin Fu appear, but no one informed them of these scoundrels in the market. Lin Fu took off his waist knife and tooth tag, took it in his hand, and put the scabbard head on a scoundrel who was shouting excitedly.
, calling him: "Brother..."
"What's the matter?" The scoundrel turned around and asked, but he was slapped with a scabbard in his face. Before he could cover his face, he felt a strong force coming from his shin, and Lin Fu kicked his left knee.
He screamed and knocked down two people. His face and knees were so painful that he didn't know whether to cover his face or his feet.
Lin Fu took a belt-sheathed knife and stabbed and slashed it, beating the scoundrels in front of him until they were on their backs. After squeezing into the inner circle, he shouted: "You fools are causing trouble and molesting civilian girls in broad daylight. Do you really think that they are doing this?"
There is no king's law in Jiangning City!" At this time, he raised his teeth and shouted, "The case is handled by the Inspectorate, and ordinary people can avoid accidental injuries." He turned around and scolded the four guard soldiers, "You can't draw a sword to kill, wear a sheath.
Wouldn’t it be better to cripple them?”
These scoundrels did not expect that an unreasonable disaster would suddenly come. They were caught off guard and were knocked down by Lin Fu from behind. Several people were thrown into chaos. Seeing that Lin Fu could not wear the robe of a ninth-grade civil servant, they did not take him seriously and surrounded him to beat him back.
After Lin Fu gave an order, the four guard soldiers who had been holding back for a long time without daring to take action suddenly rushed out like tigers and wolves, holding sheathed knives and kicking these market scoundrels with the same force as Lin Fu had just done.
With my feet raised and my knees pressed against my crotch, I had practiced the chopping skills for nearly two months and finally had a chance to practice them. I killed these gangsters in just three or five strokes.
With one leg, he hid in the crowd shop.
Lin Fu was also ruthless and wanted to cripple a few people to establish his power, so he asked Zhou Pu to protect the two girls. He personally took the sheathed knife and beat down those scoundrels who were knocked down and tried to get up and run away.
