Now recalling these days, the more polite Zhang Mengfang was to him, the more Wu Song hated him and gritted his teeth, and the more he felt that this thief with a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart was too vicious.
Especially a few days ago, the man said that he would betroth his adopted mother (maid, maid) Magnolia to him.
On the same day, Zhang Mengfang held a banquet in charge of Wu Song. He only said that he respected Wu Song as a righteous man and that there was no need to avoid staying here as if he were at home. He immediately summoned the maid Yulan from the palace to come out to sing. He also told Wu Song that this girl was smart and not only knew the music.
Nuhong was also skilled in housework. For example, Wu Dujian did not think she was a maid and was humble, so he chose a good time to marry her to Wu Dujian.
Although Wu Song was wary of whether Zhang Mengfang had evil intentions, he was also a fierce man who had never been close to women in the past, but after all, he was a man of a very young age. Thinking back to his appearance when he first saw Yulan that day, he saw that his face was like a lotus calyx.
Her lips are like cherries. Her two curved eyebrows are painted with distant mountains, and her eyes are bright and moist with autumn water. Her waist is slim and graceful, her green skirt covers the golden lotus, her body is fragrant, her sleeves of crimson gauze cover the jade bamboo shoots lightly, and her phoenix hairpin is inserted diagonally into a cloud bun.
.....Although a man like Wu Song has no evil intentions, this is the first time he has seen a woman in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Even so, Wu Song still thought in his heart that Zhang Mengfang was behaving strangely. I was fascinated by the beauty of this woman, so I didn't want to fall into any evil tricks. What's more, a man's majestic body stands between heaven and earth. If he is seduced by a woman's lust,
How can he be regarded as an upright man? He refused with words, and he definitely refused to agree to the marriage that Zhang Mengfang had promised him.
As a result, Zhang Mengfang saw that Wu Song really didn't know how to praise him, and there was a look of displeasure on his face. Wu Song also noticed that Yu Lan looked at him with melancholy and a hint of resentment in his eyes. An inexplicable emotion was there.
Wu Song's heart spread, but from the perspective of others, he was still a strong and upright person, and he never seemed to care about the sad Wu Erlang because of the love between his children.
However, the vague emotions that surged up in Wu Song's heart for the first time were quickly cut off by the vicious men and women, and turned into the anger of hatred and hatred, burning blazingly in Wu Song's heart.
A few days later, when Wu Song was determined to say goodbye and return to Laocheng Camp, Zhang Mengfang, uncharacteristically, did not reluctantly stay. However, when Wu Song left the Mengzhou Administrative Office and was rushing to Laocheng Camp to a remote place, he bumped into an unknown person.
The thieves who were hanging out on a certain mountain stopped several women who went to a nearby temple to burn incense and pay their vows. They said obscene words in their mouths, saying that they wanted to abduct them for their obscenity and use them. Wu Song also vaguely noticed that one of the women seemed to be Yulan, the maid in Zhang Mengfang's house.
.
Although there was still some suspicion in Wu Song's heart, he secretly thought that since Zhang Mengfang was willing to let him go back with all his strength, Zhimo and brother Xiaotang were too worried about him, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable surge of emotion in his heart.
Move... After thinking about it, Wu Song finally took action.
Wu Song then repelled the group of thieves who were about to kidnap the civilian girl, but then dozens of soldiers came from all over with weapons in hand, trying to tie Wu Song up on the spot. When Wu Song was shocked to realize that it was someone who
In response to the evil plan of the traitors, an unknown number of officers, soldiers and public servants rushed forward from the darkness of the dense forest. Seeing that he was outnumbered, Wu Song had no choice but to immediately shout out his defense. However, he was hit with another blow of military sticks and was beaten to death.
This fierce man who would rather kill his kneecaps than hit the ground fell to the ground.
At the same time, Yulan, who was lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, shouted loudly that he was a thief who intended to defile her body. His words were more like a sharp steel knife that stabbed Wu Song's heart hard.
Later, when Wu Song was escorted to the governor's house, Zhang Mengfang naturally changed his face, pointed at Wu Song and yelled, "You are a robber, you are a robber. You are indeed a thief. Not only have I treated you politely for days, but I have also sat at the same table."
I even planned to promote you and your official position, but I have not lost the slightest bit, but you are doing such a deed that is worse than a pig or a dog. Look, you look like a man, but Hangzhou Magistrate Cai has the foresight, but I am
If you are not careful, you will be misused by beasts like you.
Zhang Meng pointed his halberd at Wu Song and scolded him, but of course he never mentioned that he had intended to betroth the maid Yu Lan to Wu Song.
As for the prefect of Mengzhou and the governor of the government, Kong Mu, who had all accepted favors and bribes, how could Wu Song be allowed to argue? When he defended loudly, the jailer immediately picked up the batch of bamboo pieces and beat them down like raindrops, but
Even if Wu Song was beaten several more times, if he was framed for other crimes, Wu Song knew that it was not true, so he had to give in for the time being and worry about it later. But how could he admit to such a heinous and despicable frame-up?
Wu Song, who refused to surrender, just gritted his teeth and refused to be escorted to confession. However, the magistrate of Mengzhou ordered the swordsman and penman to draft a petition in advance. According to the Song Dynasty's "Song Xingtong·Zhuse Commitment of Adultery", the prison sentence for all adulterers is one and a half years.
, those who have a husband will serve for two years, and those who cheat on good people in Buqu, miscellaneous households, and official households will each be given an extra grade. That is, those who cheat on officials and their maids will be given ninety sticks. Wu Song will be escorted back to the death row and wait until he bows his head.
Plea guilty.
Shi En was also very anxious when he learned that Wu Song was taken to the government prison. He spent a lot of money on it but to no avail. Only Kang Jiejie, who refused to accept his money, explained to him that the reason why Wu Song was framed was that of Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhong bribed Zhang Doujian and Zhang Tuanlian with money to get on the lines of the Mengzhou magistrate. After getting the money, the Mengzhou magistrate also tried his best to make the decision for Jiang Menshen, and Wu Song was bound to die.
When Shi En came to the prison and saw Wu Song with his feet bound in boxes, wooden buttons on his hands, and bruises all over his body, he blamed himself even more. When he was feeling guilty, Shi En suddenly said to Wu Song again: "
Brother, the younger brother has sent his own helpers to chase the music manager who came from Bianliang, Tokyo. Since he is Xiao Renxia's man, my brother and Xiao Renxia are also sworn brothers, and he has a high position in the court.
He is a powerful person who can control the situation in the world. With him taking the decision, he will never let his brother suffer such injustice for nothing!"
After listening to Shi En's words, Wu Song, who was full of resentment, let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. Besides, although Brother Xiaotang is somewhat powerful in the court, you
But I have never heard Zhang Mengfang, the thief, deliberately mention the name of Cai Chi in Hangzhou. Even if he is afraid of the power of the Xiaotang brothers, I am the enemy of Cai Chi, the son of Cai Jing, who is a treacherous official.
He has been in contact with the magistrate of Mengzhou for a long time. Compared with having the opportunity to curry favor with the powerful Prime Minister Cai Jing, my brother's reputation will not be able to suppress the traitor."
Shi En's face froze slightly when he saw that, and then he immediately said: "That's it, brother, please take it easy, don't worry. Even if those birds were framed for that crime... it's not a capital crime. Even if it's a crime,
I want to seek my brother's life in prison. But I am also a gentleman at the prison level, and I am also a money manager. I bribed someone who knew the contract with Kongmu, the governor of Yamen, and gave him a hundred taels of silver. I just wanted to make an urgent decision as soon as possible.
Ye Kongmu knew that his brother was a good man and could not be punished with death. Moreover, he had accepted money and goods from his brother, so he would definitely do the copywriting work. Even if the prefect accepted bribes from Zhang Dujian and refused to be lenient, the brother's lawsuit against his brother has already been handed over.
I have made it clear to Naye Kongmu, and I will wait until the expiration of the survey period to decide to leave, but I will not pay attention to it again."
But Wu Song smiled coldly again, and the cruel look on his face became more and more intense, and he said to Shi En word by word: "Since Zhang Mengfang uses such despicable methods to harm people, he is afraid that
I was spared my life as a reward, and I thought I would have to eradicate it to avoid future troubles. But my brother had good intentions, and he wanted to manage the prison well, and the government office had taken care of me, but inside and outside the prison, how could the boys give up?
Don't say they just let it go. Jiang Zhong, Zhang Tuanlian, Zhang Mengfang... When the thieves and men arranged such a trap to trap me, how could I let it go if I could escape with my life!? Xiao Tang
Although my brother has a deep sense of loyalty, even though I have sent my close friends to come to help, I can't wait for him to come here in person. But even if I, Wu Song, am in jail, I still can't save myself. Brother Shi En, you have been on death row three times in the past few days.
I have tried my best to take care of everything, but it is beyond my power. I know your affection. It seems that Brother Xiaotang does not need help in these embarrassing things in Mengzhou. If I can save my own life, I will feel infinite in my heart.
