After Heizi left, Wang Shouyi got out of bed, sat down on the Taishi chair, and poured himself a cup of tea. Although the tea was cold, he didn't care, and drank it in one gulp. The cold tea stimulated the buds, and Wang Shouyi shuddered. He couldn't help but mutter: "Man, he is really old." There was endless desolation in his tone.
Autumn has passed, the flowers have withered, the temples have turned white, and there is endless waste.
Putting down the teacup, looking at the moonlight outside, thinking about something in my mind, Lao BuSi and Wang BuSi had lived in that small mountain village for so long, and as soon as they came down from the mountain, someone wanted to stop them. It seemed that someone didn't want them to come back. Who was it? There is no grievance, no enmity, it is naturally driven by interests. I already have the answer in my heart, but there is no way to prove it for a while.
After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, Wang Shou finally spoke up and shouted to the door: "Old wine".
Then in response, the drunkard pushed open the door and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"
Wang Shouyi didn't want to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point and said, "Wang Busheng has been arrested. Find someone to say hello and let him go, but you can't let others know that it was our Wang family who did it. Do you understand what I mean?" ".
Although the drunkard was a rough man, he still had a good IQ. He naturally understood what the father-in-law meant, so he clasped his hands and nodded: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"Okay, I'll rest assured if I leave it to you. You can go and take care of this matter at dawn. Remember, except you and me, I don't want anyone to know the identity of that kid, especially the people from the Duke's Mansion." Wang Shouyi looked at the drunkard and meant He gave a profound command.
The drunkard nodded and went out.
Wang Shouyi looked at the sky in the distance again. A star was shining. The face of a meteor piercing the night sky was the passing of a life and the reincarnation of life. As people get older, they always think more. Wang Shouyi returned to bed with a thin blanket covering him. His heart was full of doubts and entanglements. Things that happened more than ten years ago appeared in his mind again.
There are no stars or moons. Crime always likes to happen in such an environment. I heard a scream coming from the bedroom of my eldest son Wang Jizu. When everyone pushed the door in, they were all shocked by the scene. My daughter-in-law , the goddaughter who is also an immortal, is already lying in a pool of blood, with blood still flowing out of her chest, with confusion and disbelief in her eyes, and her son is also covered in blood, with a dagger in his hand, and his face More of a panic.
His infant grandson was unaware of what was happening at the moment and was still playing by himself. The wind chimes on one side would always make him laugh when the wind blew by.
Wang Shouyi was stunned, Lao Bushu was stunned, and everyone in the Duke Min's mansion was stunned.
His son actually killed his wife. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen to two people who are in love with each other, have deep love for each other, share the same love, and are so close to each other.
The old man was also a meritorious official, and Wang Shouyi could not cover up his son's crimes. Wang Jizu was also severely punished. Although he did not pay for his life, his whole life was basically ruined. He could not inherit the title and could not leave the Duke of Min for even half a step. This was very detrimental to a future. After the glorious nobles, nothing can be a fatal blow.
No one knew the cause and process of what happened, but everyone saw the result. The eldest young master was imprisoned and held for ten years before he was released. It didn't take long for rumors to spread throughout the Duke of Min's mansion. , saying that the eldest daughter-in-law was unfaithful and had an affair with others. Wang Jizu found out and killed her in anger. Some even said that the child was probably not Wang Jizu's biological flesh and blood, and that Wang Jizu belonged to Xi Dang's father.
Of course, Wang Shouyi didn't believe these nonsense. His daughter-in-law also grew up under his own watch. She was beautiful, dignified, and gentle in her treatment of others. Her dead father also wore a robe of his own, so his character was guaranteed.
However, such rumors became more and more sinister as they spread. Some people even saw it with their own eyes. The time and place were spread in a certain way. If three people talked about it, the falsehood would slowly become true. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore. He stayed and took Wang Busheng away from the Duke of Min's Mansion. Wang Shouyi did not stop him. After experiencing many battles, he always felt that this matter was very strange. Maybe leaving was also a way to protect his children. Of course, the rumors were too true. Wang Shouyi Some believe it too.
Although Wang Shouyi asked Lao Immortal and the others to leave, it was impossible for Wang Shouyi not to hesitate at all. After all, the child might also be a member of the Wang family, and Heizi's father was responsible for this matter. Of course, they would not appear in front of Lao Immortal, but would only protect them secretly. .
Destined to have no sleep tonight, Wang Shouyi opened the box next to him. Well, it was still password-protected. He took out a yellowed photo from it. It showed an old man. Although he had white hair, he had a majestic appearance and the appearance of countless young people. He was not energetic. There was a child sitting on his shoulder. He was naughty and playing with Wang Shouyi's beard, with a happy smile on his face.
Gently wiping the photo, a few tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and he murmured: "My child, I'm sorry for you."
The drunkard returned to the bedroom, and the room was filled with the aroma of malty wine. Although the father-in-law told him that he would do this tomorrow, the drunkard still planned to finish the matter now. The night was long and he had many dreams. If something happened to that kid, he would regret it. Now, I still remember that boy. He was so naughty. As soon as he learned to walk, he had to compete with me to see who could pee farther.
The drunkard picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, wiped it with his sleeve, and let out a satisfied burp. Sure enough, the drunkard regarded the wine as tea. Since he couldn't come forward in person, he had to find someone to do it, and he had to ensure that this person Listen to yourself, you must also have certain rights, and you can't have any contact with yourself. The drunkard thought about it and finally thought of a person, Wu Zuo, now Songjiang Qianhusuo Qianhu, that boy used to obey orders under his command, and he He would also take good care of that boy. During the Chinese New Year a few years ago, that boy even called him to wish him a happy new year. Thinking of this, the drunkard didn't even bother to drink another bowl. He took out the phone book and started searching. Finally, he found it and called him.
Songjiang Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture's modernization development is still very fast. Although the Ming Empire has always implemented a closed-door policy and no one is allowed to go to the sea, the huge benefits of the sea will always urge countless people to flock to it and compete to go to the sea secretly. Therefore, many foreign entertainment Facilities are also springing up in Songjiang Prefecture.
At this moment, Wu Zuo was sitting in a KTV, a modern entertainment venue, drinking wine.
Wu Zuang was just a military attache. You must know that the status of a military attache has always been very embarrassing. He didn't have much oil and water, and he had to be restrained by civil servants. He was scolded by them as Qiu Ba, and he was often impeached by the imperial censor Hanlin. Therefore, many people Wu Zuang is such a person who does not want to be a military attache. Although he is a military attache and has made great achievements on the battlefield, he still likes to wear a Confucian shirt and hold a feather fan in his hand, pretending to be a great Confucian. .
According to common sense, Wu Zuang still has no money left to spend in such a high-end entertainment venue. Firstly, the salary is too low. Secondly, there is a shrew in the family. The management is too strict and there is no pocket money. Generally, the couple will fight and the woman will cry. , shed tears, and those with a bad temper will wipe their necks and hang themselves, but this Mrs. Wu is not like that. They ask for a martial arts competition, each person has a weapon, and whoever wins will listen to whoever wins. Of course, it is Wu who loses every time. If you are not as skilled as others, you can only give in. Wu Zuo cannot go to entertainment venues. However, my wife has recently returned to her parents' home, so opportunities like this are rare, not to mention that there are people treating her.
Songjiang Prefecture's Criminal Registrar Li Zuozuo. This Li Zuozuo also came from an aristocratic family, but his knowledge was a little poor and he couldn't pass the exam. He could only spend money to donate to officials and work in the local area for a few years. As for his grades, he didn't do well. It didn't matter. He spent a little more money to take care of things in the court. Li Zuozuo was transferred from the local area to the county. Although the rank of the criminal master was a little lower, he still had great power and managed Songjiang. All prison matters in the government can be regarded as the real power of the Yamen.
The small ninth-rank criminal master register is not even a shrimp in Songjiang Mansion. If you pick an official at random, his rank is much higher than that of Li Xuanzuo. In order to draw closer attention to leaders at all levels, Li Xuanzuo has money. , naturally we often organize banquets, exchange cups and cups, friends with fair and meat are unreliable, but they can be used.
The private room reserved by Li Zuozuo was very large. Basically, he invited all the reputable people in Songjiang Mansion. Of course, he could not invite people from the British government. Low-level officials like Li Zuozuo could not even enter the British government. There is no government qualification either. Even Xie Xiangrong, the magistrate of Songjiang, a dignified fourth-rank civil servant, wanted to see the British prince, but he was ignored. Whether he met or not depended entirely on his mood.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Zui was very happy. Although he was a court official, he usually ate simple meals. It was difficult to eat meat. The main reason was that the salary was too low, and the family could only He could barely maintain it, if it weren't for the fact that he still had some black income as a Qianhu official in the first government, otherwise the usual human relations would have brought Wu Zuo down.
Wu was enjoying the feast and even picked up the meat to eat. He didn't care at all about the oil stains on his face. The civil servants on the side were very disgusted and leaned to one side involuntarily.
After chewing a pork knuckle, Wu Zuo was very satisfied. The meat was tender and the skin was smooth. No wonder the emperor liked it. Wiped the oil stains on his face. Wu Wei started to enjoy the show.
A very coquettishly dressed woman was singing and singing, and there were two backup dancers beside her. Wu Zuang didn't like this kind of program very much. It was very uncomfortable to watch. It was better to go to the bathhouse to feel comfortable.
Several officials were commenting on the women on the stage, and as the host, Li Dingzuo was also chatting enthusiastically with everyone.
At this time, the cell phone in Wu Zuo's arms rang. When he took out the phone and looked at it, Wu Zuo's blood suddenly spurted out. How familiar the number is, like my first love, already engraved in my heart.
Wu stood up and left the box without making a sound. It was like this every time. He left as soon as he was full. He didn't dare to participate in the following programs. Everyone was already used to it. After all, the old Wu family had a fierce wife.
In a corner, Wu Wei carefully answered the phone, his body bent unconsciously, "Hello, Mr. Jiu,"
"I need your help with something," the drunkard asked directly on the phone without being polite to Wu.
"Jiu Master, if you have something to do, just give me your orders. Even if I have to go up the mountain of swords or get off the oil pan, I, Wu Zuo, will not frown at all, and I will complete the job with high quality and quantity." Wu Zuo Zuo swore that the wine master was from the Duke of Min's Mansion. People, if you let yourself do something, you value yourself and give yourself face. Wu Zuang was very excited.
"It's not that serious. It's done. I owe you a favor as an alcoholic."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zuang was very surprised and his heart was beating fast. The wine master's favor was not something that ordinary people could accept. But he said, "Jiuye, you are too polite. If you have something to say, just say it."
After thinking for a while, the drunkard said, "I have a junior who was arrested by Tiancishan Zhizhen and said he was going to be sentenced. I hope he will receive a fair trial."
Wu Zuo understands the meaning of the drunkard. This is the rhythm of wanting to be a monk and wanting to eat meat. As for the drunkard, Wu Zuo only believes in the second half. It doesn't matter whether he is a junior or not. If the drunkard can speak in person, his identity will naturally not matter. Generally speaking, it is possible that the child is an illegitimate child of an alcoholic.
Of course, this is also a trivial matter, so Wu Zuo naturally promised it and promised it with all his heart.
