Ming Dynasty Yongle ninth year, Xin Mao, the second day of the first lunar month.
In folk customs, after paying New Year greetings, they will play for several days.
The young man wandered around, practiced singing and playing, and conquered and conquered as he pleased. Doujiu turns over cards, throws money to buy money quickly, wins gambling leisurely, dances with sticks and kicks balls, sings and talks, no matter day or night, it is called "soul release".
It lasts until the 18th day of the first lunar month to put down the lanterns, then students study books, workers return to their workplaces, and farmers and merchants each go about their business, which is called "collecting souls".
But at this moment, the five Xu Bins, who usually idle around and love gambling and having fun, have no interest in playing. Let alone "release their souls", their souls have long been lost to the Kingdom of Java. Eunuch Sanbao’s ship to the West has arrived quickly!
"50% off!" Xu Tao, the third son of Jin Changyi's son, rushed into the house in a hurry.
"What are you yelling about?" Xu Bin looked indifferent, lifted the tea lid and skimmed off the foam, blew gently, took a slow sip of tea, put the tea lid back on, and put the tea cup back to his hand. After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at the third child: "I didn't come back last night, so I guessed it. Are you dead or alive?"
Xu Tao shook his head in confusion: "I didn't pay attention. I only saw it was tied to the windlass of the well in the Jinyi Guardhouse. I didn't... didn't dare to look more."
The second eldest child, Li Guang, complained angrily: "It's over, this time it was self-defeating and my adoptive father was implicated!"
Ding Wei, the fourth child, stood up and walked out of the house.
Xu Bin called out to him: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?"
Ding Wei didn't look back, and said in a vicious tone: "Find a few people and save Lao Wu!"
"Save? Can you save it?" Xu Bin said disdainfully, "Don't get yourself involved!" He stood up and said, "Stay here, I'll tell my adoptive father."
As soon as he walked out of the house, Xu Bin's legs twitched - this idea was his, and if anything happened to his adoptive father, he would not be able to escape his involvement, not to mention that Jin Yiwei knew the five of them, and the fifth child was arrested, even if he did not recruit him Jin Yiwei can also touch him along the face.
I thought I had accepted the five tigers, but I didn't expect that I had recognized five losers! Jin Chang is very upset! He raised his hand and slapped Xu Bin hard.
"Father, save me!" Xu Bin knelt on the ground with a swollen face, "My sons just wanted to vent their anger, not that much."
"Don't you usually have a lot of ideas? I really didn't expect that such lowly ideas came from you?" Jin Chang said.
"My son deserves to die!" Xu Bin slapped himself twice with his bow.
"Okay, now, let's think of an idea!" Jin Chang looked at Xu Bin coldly, "If I can't think of anything, then I have no choice but to surrender."
Xu Bin trembled, kowtowed twice, and immediately racked his brains to remember...
…
Zhang Bi and Lin Linyou placed a small table in the courtyard, basking in the sun and sipping tea leisurely. From time to time they glanced at Dai Shirong, who was tied to the well windlass and passed out from the cold.
"Li Chun said, this is the best Yanshan purple tea." Zhang Bi took a sip of tea.
"I'm just drinking it." Lin Linyou said.
"Yes, my drinking is average." Zhang Bi said, "Maybe it's because you and I are not elegant people, but in order to please the boss, I have to make the bad things look good. It's not like being with you, where you can be so casual. , you can tell the truth and say whatever you want."
"Brother, what do you want to say?"
"Brother wants to hear the truth from you."
"You ask."
"Did you sleep with Miss Yuerong that night?" Zhang Bi glanced at the room and deliberately lowered his voice. In the room, Yue Rong Lin Long was still lying on the bed to recuperate and rest - the fragrance was really powerful.
"No." Lin Lin said.
"real?"
"real."
"What does eldest brother mean..." Zhang Bi moved closer, "Since she's not asleep, you don't have to rush to find a younger brother for her. If you want to offer this person to Master Ji, Master Ji may not accept him!"
"Zhengchou can't find a reason to see Lao Ji." Lin Lin said, "Offering prisoners is just an excuse. Otherwise, brother, can you go for me? With your rank, you should be able to go directly to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Ji. ?”
"What rank am I? A sixth-grade householder with hundreds of households, and Li Chun, a thousand households, all have lost their boss Jin Lao Duo Yin." Zhang Bi said, "I just greeted Li Chun last time, Li Ruiruo was really killed by Jin Chang, even if There is no evidence. Ji Gang gave you and me a driving post a long time ago, but now there is no movement. If you use Jin Chang's adopted son as a reason, you may not be able to get into the house. If you can't get into the house, you will have no chance to find a younger brother for Yue Rong. , that is, your future brother-in-law?"
While he was talking, Dai Shirong, who was dying on the well, groaned. Youyouxing turned around and struggled to raise his drooped head: "Li Rui... Li Rui was not killed by Jin Chang, but..."
Lin Linyou and Zhang Ben regained their energy in vain. They all got up and came closer:
"What did you say?"
"Louder, who is it?"
When he looked at Dai Shirong, he seemed to have fainted again - how could this be like what he did in the TV series! It gets stuck at the critical moment!
The two of them untied him from the well. Seeing that his lips were blue and purple from the cold and his face was pale, they felt a little bit unbearable. If he hadn't bullied him and picked flowers for the girl next to him, neither of them would have done anything to him. The people of Ming Dynasty were so cruel.
So he put a blanket on him, poured a bowl of hot ginger soup, and left it in the sun for a while. Dai Shirong finally woke up again.
"Go on! Tell me what you just wanted to say." Zhang Ben squatted in front of Dai Shirong and patted his face. His pale face immediately turned red.
"I said……"
Lin Linyou, who was originally watching from a high position, quickly squatted down.
"explain!"
Dai Shirong stretched out his tongue to moisten his chapped lips: "I say, Li Rui was not killed by Jin Chang..."
"Well, go on!"
"Yes...it's Li Chun, your royal guard Li Qianhu." Dai Shirong said.
Zhang Bilin and Lin You looked at each other with doubtful expressions in their eyes.
"You guys, are you trying to trick us?" Lin Linyou thought to himself. This guy may not even know Li Chun. I'm afraid he didn't just pretend to be faint and overheard this name from them.
"Two adults, I...I am both a dying person. When a person is about to die, his words are also good, cough cough!" Dai Shirong started coughing violently. Looking at him like this, it seemed that he was really about to die. . After all, wind and cold in ancient times can really kill people.
"What credentials do you have?" Zhang Bi asked.
"I saw it with my own eyes," Dai Shirong said.
Zhang Bi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Linyou, with something in his eyes: Look at this guy, he doesn't seem to be lying.
Lin Linyou responded with his eyes: It looks real to me!
I never expected that Li Chun and Li Qianhu were the real culprits behind the Jiaofangsi case? !
"Tell me more specifically." Zhang Ben's tone softened.
"I said, will you let me go?" Dai Shirong asked.
Zhang Bi looked at Lin Linyou again, this time with a questioning look in his eyes. After all, the two girls this guy picked were both Lin Linyou's women.
Lin Linyou stood up and said, "You are the senior official, and you have the final say."
Zhang Ben then lowered his head and said to Dai Shirong: "As long as everything you say is true, I will let you go and I will never break my promise!"
"I followed Jiang Hua for a period of time and learned some methods of climbing walls and eaves..." Dai Shirong said slowly...
…
Jin Chang was pacing, and Xu Bin, who was kneeling, suddenly raised his head and slapped his head: "Father! My son has thought of it! Lao Wu was once the apprentice of Jiang Hua and Jiang Zhaixing, but now I heard that Jiang Hua followed Ji Gang , we might as well, like this..."
