Zhao Tong looked at this man, who turned over and knelt on the ground, saying: "The villain, Wuwei Junchen, sentenced Huang Wenbing in Xantong. He has been famous to Your Highness for a long time, but he is extremely blasphemous. I hope the prince will beg for mercy and forgive me!"
Why do you think Huang Wenbing came forward at this time? It turns out that he is not an official in Jiangzhou, and the Wuwei Military City across the Xunyang River is not under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road at all, but is under the jurisdiction of Huainan West Road, so Magistrate Cai Jiu did not call him when he introduced the Jiangzhou officials.
But he is willing to speculate, otherwise how could he contact Magistrate Cai Jiu? I would never let go of this bigger opportunity now, so I planned it in my mind for a long time, and then I took a chance and stepped forward to pour a glass of wine.
Huang Wenbing? Zhao Tong naturally knew this person, and he looked at Cai Dezhang calmly.
How could Cai Dezhang not know Huang Wenbing’s temperament? When I first came to welcome him, I knew what kind of person he was. I just liked him for his quick mind and decisiveness in dealing with problems, so I went with him. But today, Prajna, the second great king, is in high spirits. If I don't like him, I'm afraid he will cause trouble. .
Magistrate Cai Jiu said hurriedly: "Wen Bing is not a subordinate of Jiangzhou. He is actually an official on the opposite side of the river. Because we are very close to each other, he often moves around. I didn't expect that the prince would arrive today, so he stayed in the house to help. If the prince doesn't like it, I will order someone to do it." Fork him out.”
The corners of Zhao Tong's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked Huang Wenbing up and down. He saw that he was wearing a green shirt. He was slightly fat and had a short beard. His eyes were lowered, the light was restrained, and he was motionless.
He thought to himself that this person was somewhat capable of recognizing counter-poems and forgery, and he definitely played an important role in forcing Song Jiang to rebel. However, Huang Wenbing was a general judge, and what he did was not The calculation is wrong, and isn’t what Takayoshi Kurosaburo wrote anti-poetry? It’s just that Huang Wenbing’s character is too utilitarian!
He said: "Huang Wenbing gets up and speaks."
Magistrate Cai Jiu felt relieved immediately, knowing that King Qi had no intention of blaming him, but he could not express it without saying anything. He said coldly: "I haven't gotten up yet, but I have read the books of sages. Such unruly things are what literati should do." ?"
Huang Wenbing looked ashamed and praised him repeatedly, but refused to leave, as if waiting to be lectured.
Zhao Tong looked again and again and said, "Huang Wenbing, what are you doing in your spare time?"
When Huang Wenbing heard this, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he hurriedly crossed his hands and replied: "In reply to the prince, there is nothing to do. It's just a small town in the suburbs of Wuwei. How can it be governed? If there is no merit in the year, the quota of general judges has been canceled by the superiors, and I only have free days. Play at home."
Zhao Tong thought about it and felt that it was useless to let the general judge go in a small town, but Huang Wenbing had some skills, so he asked: "Huang Wenbing, where are you from?"
Huang Wenbing Sisi Aai said: "The villain was born in the same place as a Jinshi in Wujia."
Zhao Tong's eyebrows moved slightly. At this time, the subjects were divided into three grades, but sometimes they were not divided into first grades. Sometimes they were divided into second grades or fifth grades. When divided into fifth grades, this was the lowest grade, and they were given the same background as Jinshi.
He said: "You are so lucky that you have reached the rank of Wujia. You have both family background and official rank. How can you be idle at home?"
After hearing this, Huang Wenbing bowed his head again and shouted: "My lord, it is pitiful to see that this villain has the heart to serve the country with all his fists, but has no place to put his efforts. He is in a daze every day. He also knows the integrity and morality, but in the end he is... I am single and helpless.”
Zhao Tong listened to what he said clearly and recalled the general behavior of this person. He nodded slightly and looked at Magistrate Cai Jiu.
Prefect Cai Jiu also intended to support Huang Wenbing, but he was actually an official of Huainan West Road. Although Jiangzhou and Wuwei Army City were only separated by the Xunyang River, they were not the same place at all. He was not the chief official of Jiangnan West Road either. So this matter is difficult to handle.
If the power of the Cai family is used, it can be done. However, firstly, Huang Wenbing is young and it is not worthy for him to write a special letter to Beijing. Secondly, he feels that his family will leave sooner or later, and this matter can wait until he leaves Jiangzhou. Say it again.
Magistrate Cai Jiu said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
Zhao Tong thought for a while and said: "I want to support you, but it will take some time. You can rest assured in Jiangzhou."
Huang Wenbing immediately thanked him profusely and shouted: "This villain has relied on his disciples all his life, so he should be rewarded with a saddle on his back!"
Zhao Tong said: "Stay here, get up and have a drink."
Seeing Zhao Tong's kindness, Huang Wenbing felt very happy to meet the Ming Lord at this moment. He felt that his life had changed in this encounter, and he was willing to fight even if he raised his head to fight.
Seeing him walking away, Zhao Tong said: "This man can't be said to be smart, but I think he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"
Magistrate Cai Jiu hurriedly agreed, but secretly slandered in his heart that he must be loyal to you, the Second King!
After the banquet was over, the officials left and they were drinking tea in the middle hall. Zhao Tong said, "I heard that there is a strange man in Jiangzhou. I wonder if Daozhang can summon him to see him?"
Magistrate Cai Jiu was confused: "Please let me know clearly."
Zhao Tong put down his teacup and said, "I heard that there are two prisons in Jiangzhou, called Dai Zong."
Magistrate Cai Jiu was wondering where he heard it from. However, he knew that Dai Zong, who was incarcerated in the two courts, was a military official and was not an official. , so the government also sent someone, so he had an impression and said, "Your Majesty, you want to see this person?"
Zhao Tong said: "I heard that this person runs very fast and is known as a magician. I don't know whether it is true or not?"
Magistrate Cai Jiu said: "This is indeed the case. It should be some martial art, not elegant. The prince wants to see him. I will send someone to call him."
Magistrate Cai Jiu sent an official to call Dai Zong, and the two continued to sit in the middle hall to have tea, and talked about some affairs between the north and the south. In Dali, Liao Dynasty, the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.
About half an hour later, the yamen servant brought back a person, but he was drunk and had drank too much.
When Magistrate Cai Jiu saw this, he was immediately furious. He felt ashamed and said: "Tear him down and put him in cold water to wake him up before bringing him up."
The man shouted: "Please be kind to me, my subordinates are not drunk even though they are drinking."
Magistrate Cai Jiu was not willing to listen. Immediately, several people rushed out of the hall. They grabbed Dai Zong by the shoulders and legs and pulled him down to the flower garden outside. They were drenched with large ladles of water and pushed back like a drowned rat.
Dai Zongjing was so aroused that he almost woke up from the drunkenness. He recalled what the Yamen servant had mentioned about the two kings when he was looking for him. He then peeked at the two people sitting in the hall. The person in charge was obviously not Magistrate Cai Jiu, so he secretly screamed something bad and hurriedly threw himself on the table. He called out: "Dai Zong has met the noble man. I drank a lot and lost my etiquette. Please forgive me."
Zhao Tong looked down and saw that this man had a broad face, square lips, protruding eyes, a slender figure, and was handsome from a distance. He had a soap gauze scarf around his neck, a green flower collar on his body, a red string of brands hanging on his waist, and shark skin on his feet. Shoes, couldn't help but said: "Are you Dai Zong?"
Dai Zong bowed his head and did not dare to raise his head, saying: "He is just a villain."
Zhao Tong sneered: "Dai Zong, you are so brave!"
Dai Zong didn't know what was going on. He only said that a little hidden secret in his heart was discovered. He drank alcohol and became dizzy. He couldn't help but beg for mercy: "I beg the noble to forgive me, and the villain will never dare to make mistakes again."
Seeing that he was unconscious, Zhao Tong said, "I ask you, is Li Tieniu in prison now?"
