In a one-foot-square single room, Wang Xian was sitting behind the desk with a cup of tea in his hands.
From just now, the corners of his silly grin have not been closed. Fortunately, a door curtain divides the public room into two rooms, the inner and the outer. Although the inner room is small, it is his own world. Although the outer room is large, it has ten books.
Offices are crowded together.
What's more important is the feeling of freedom. At least in this public room, he no longer has to look at other people's faces to act. On the contrary, others have to look at his face and act. He no longer has to serve others tea and water, but others have to serve him.
Tea and water, just like now...
Wang Xian took a sip of the fragrant tea and couldn't help but secretly warned that he was a little complacent, which was wrong. However, it was both a bitter and alienating plan, and it was just for this moment. Let Xiaosheng be proud for a moment...
So he kept giggling until noon, and it wasn't until Wu Wei came in to remind him that it was time to eat. Wang Xian then closed his mouth and said, "I want to recruit two white servants."
"No problem," Wu Wei thought for a moment and said, "Once Li Sheng leaves, his lackeys won't be able to stay any longer and will just be kicked out."
"Okay." Wang Xian stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Wu."
"Uh...yes." Wu Wei couldn't help but be stunned. He discovered that some people are really born leaders and don't need to be taught to control others.
When eating in the cafeteria, Wang Xian no longer has to fight for the meager food with eight people at a table. Now he eats in the inner room. There are only four people at the same size table, but there are crystal wings and fried river shrimps.
Stir-fried purple horn leaves, white fish and bracken soup, and a plate of steamed anchovies with red and fragrant willows. The bones are fragrant and melt in your mouth.
Precisely because of the rich food, all the officials and clerks were able to drink wine and talk in low voices in a leisurely manner, which was much more calm than the tense scene outside.
Wang Xian was greeted by the three seniors from the execution room. Li Guan and the others looked at his green-shirted men and laughed strangely, which made Wang Xian uneasy and could only whisper: "I will be the host of Xianhe Tower tomorrow night. I beg you."
The three elder brothers appreciate the honor."
"That's pretty much it." Zang Dian, the official who sent him to be tortured twice, said with a smile, "But I guess you don't have any money either. How about you take a break after dinner?"
"Well then, where are you going?"
"It's very close, just two steps away." Zang Dianli smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, and then let's go find Zhang Mazi."
The other two people had funny expressions, obviously they knew what Zang Dianli was going to do.
After eating, Zang Dianli took Wang Xian to the police station and called Zhang Mazi, and then went straight to a house two streets adjacent to the Yamen.
Maybe they were used to coming here, so when they saw the door was ajar, Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi didn't wait for the door to tell them, so they rushed in with Wang Xian.
Wang Xian followed the two of them, looking around and secretly wondering, this house doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's very coquettish inside. I really don't know what the owner is like.
Entering the hall, Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi sat down with their swords and golden horses, and called Wang Xian to sit down too. Zhang Mazi shouted, "Master Li, Master Li?" After calling twice and no one answered, he shouted
Angrily, he said to the two officials: "This Li Sheng is really looking down on people. We have been here for a long time and he ignored us and didn't even serve us tea. Why should we meddle in his business?"
"Yes." Zang Dianli also nodded and said: "It's really kind of him to treat him like a donkey liver and lungs. Let's go, no matter whether he is dead or alive."
Wang Xian was originally a little uneasy about extorting people's wealth, but when he heard that this was Li Sheng's family, he immediately perked up and watched the two people's performance with great interest.
I saw the two people getting up and walking to the door of the hall. They heard a cough from behind the screen: "My lords, please stay." In the Ming Dynasty, 'lord' was not a noble title. It was used as a title for subordinates when the status of the two parties was not much different.
Superior. If the difference is large, a special honorific title should be used.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wang Xian turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw an old man with a hunched back from behind the screen. Looking carefully, he was not that old, but he had a sad face, full of wrinkles, and most of his beard and hair were gray. He concentrated again.
Look, isn't this his former immediate boss Li Sheng?
"Oh my god, why have you become so old?" Wang Xian couldn't help but feel pity when he saw Li Sheng suddenly aging, but then he remembered that it was this guy who was behind the scenes, causing his family to be destroyed and almost destroyed, so he had no sympathy at all.
They were all gone. He quickly took a step forward, bowed deeply and said, "Are you living a happy life these days?"
"Ahem..." Li Sheng finally recognized that the boy in green shirt turned out to be Wang Xian. To a certain extent, this boy stepped on his corpse to become the leader. Now listening to his gloating greetings, Li Sheng
Sheng almost lost his temper. He turned his head and ignored him, and said to the other two people: "You two adults, please sit down. I have left you two to worry about what I am doing."
"It's nothing, my colleagues, I should worry about you." Zang Dianli said with a sad face: "But there is a reminder over there in Hangzhou every three days. This time we must ask Brother Li to go to the inspection department to ask questions. Brothers, I really want to
There’s no way to shirk it anymore.”
"You two adults have also seen this. I'm very ill and I'm afraid I can't bear the boat. Please help me to be accommodating." Li Sheng said in a low voice, his heart full of sadness. Half a month ago, he didn't even have to be serious.
Seeing these two people, but as soon as I left the house, everything was different.
A few days ago, Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi suddenly came to the door and said that according to the official documents of the Chasi, He Chang, who was taken to Hangzhou, had confessed to some new crimes, many of which were related to him. Therefore, according to the Chasi's order, they
Take him to Hangzhou for a visit, and the inspector will question him personally.
Li Sheng broke into a cold sweat when he heard that He Chang was his destiny! Because according to the "Da Ming Law", those who instigate criminals should be punished as the first culprit. If He Chang had to beheaded, he would not be able to escape the death penalty!
In fact, it was not unexpected for him that these two people were randomly fabricating words to deceive him. But when he thought of the "cold-faced iron cold" man in Hangzhou, he didn't have the courage to take a chance at all, so he asked them in a low voice what he should do.
?Of course, the Xie Yi of one ingot of silver per person is indispensable.
After taking the money, the two of them changed their faces and said: "Actually, it's not impossible, because the people in Hangzhou don't really believe it, so I just asked you to ask. We can help you report a serious illness. As a rule, you have to
You can only start your journey after you recover. As for when your Excellency will recover, it is not the brothers who have the final say? This has been dragging on for a year and a half. According to the prosecutor's office, there are many cases. Who still remembers this case? "
"What a plan!" Li Sheng praised at that time.
But within a few days, he stopped praising him. Because these two people came here every two days, saying that the superiors were pressing hard, and even sent people to find out whether it was true or not. They also ordered him to be carried away, but it changed.
They tried to scare him in every possible way. Li Sheng was already frightened and spent every time to avoid disasters.
Although for Mr. Li, who has a huge family fortune, a few ingots of silver are just a drop in the bucket, but to have this happen the next day is too much psychological pressure. Most of his hair has turned gray over the past few days...
"There is really nothing we can do this time." Zhang Mazi took out the detention ticket from his arms and said, "Here, the great master has already approved Zhu. If we delay any longer, we will have to take the consequences."
"Ah..." Li Sheng looked desperate, but he didn't believe it in his heart. Because he knew that they brought Wang Xian with them just to extort more money. How could they let their money tree be chopped down like this?
Woolen cloth?
But who wants to be slaughtered all the time, especially by the people who have harmed them? If Guang Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi came, Li Sheng would most likely submit obediently, but when he saw Wang Xian, he didn't want to bow his head at all.
He said in a low voice: "In this case, I won't embarrass you two anymore. Let's set a date to hit the road. I have a clear conscience and believe that Zhou Zhitai will not unjustly accuse a good person..."
Only then did Zhang Mazi and Zang Dianli realize that they had already seen through their trick. They were not afraid of boiling water even if they risked a dead pig, and there was nothing they could do against him.
The two of them looked at Wang Xian apologetically, sorry little brother, I didn't let you see the good show, but you saw the joke.
Wang Xian remained silent except for a few sarcastic words about Li Sheng when he entered. Seeing that the two of them were at a loss for words, he spoke up: "Two adults, Mr. Li is also an old boss here. I really can't bear to see him dragging his body with illness.
If you dare to discuss the trial, it would be better to delay it for two more days."
"It's been delayed for a long time, what's the point of delaying it for another two days?" Zang Dianli asked confused.
"It's like this. My father sent a letter from Beijing saying that he has been appointed Chief of the Zhejiang Procuratorate and will take office in the near future." Wang Xian said in a pretentious manner: "My father and Mr. Li are working together. When the time comes, he will take care of Li.
Adults will feel much better."
I heard that Wang Xingye was appointed as the prison chief, and Li Sheng's soul almost flew out. Then He Chang is now in the prison of the inspection department. If Wang Xingye goes to be the prison chief, the first thing he will do is to interrogate him in Qiu. With his surname
With the king’s methods, what confession can’t be revealed?
Thinking of this, Li Sheng said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you say that I would be taught the history of Renhe County?"
"Alas, it is not as good as God's calculations. I have already ordered the classics and history, but I was told coldly, 'The classics and history are not up to standard, and they are not enough to reward a righteous man.' The officials should be asked to re-appoint a new official... The result is determined.
Being a ninth-grade jailer is worse than being a Dianshi!" Wang Xian said extremely depressed.
"Ah..." Li Sheng's hands and feet became weak, and he felt like the world was spinning, and he lost his voice: "What should I do?"
"Speaking of which, the Autumn Judgment is only half a month away." Wang Xian sighed: "My father said that he still wants to be active in Beijing to see if he can change it. He really doesn't want to be a prisoner."
"Yes!" Li Sheng said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "If your father is allowed to move around in Beijing, he must change his behavior back to Dian Shi."
"It's a pity that we have no money." Wang Xian sighed again: "I have no choice but to come back and take office."
"It doesn't matter, I have it!" Li Sheng hurriedly took out a kit from his sleeve, opened it, and saw four or five gold bars inside, "Take it first, and I will scrape together a few hundred taels of silver."
