Last night, Hua Shichun led us in in a hurry without observing the environment here at all. Now that we are here, we have time to take a look. The houses are small and the window lattice is old. We just feel that it is very ordinary. We even think to ourselves that this place is scary. How could the imperial edict be so simple? Before I passed the door, I heard the sound of "papa". After passing the door, I saw four strong men, naked to the waist, holding wooden roots, surrounding a pile of yellow paper, rounding their arms, and tying hard. After a while, , already sweating profusely, Yue Ziqian was lying leisurely on an armchair, with tea on a small wooden table. Several captains stood aside, and there were seven or eight strong men, also shirtless. It seemed that they were all waiting to be served. Print paper before printing. What's even more surprising is that in a corner of the courtyard, there is a group of people standing in darkness. They can be described as all kinds of people. Some are shackled, and some have their hands spread out. They have different expressions on their faces, looking straight at the four people typing paper. , all dressed in tattered black clothes, they must be prisoners in the imperial prison.
Yue Ziqian saw me coming in and waved to me. I trotted over with a smile and saluted: "Master Baihu, on the order of Liao Qianhu, I am here to deliver the official document." After saying that, he handed over the official document respectfully, and Yue Ziqian took it. Come here, open it, take a look, let out a long breath, and say: "Big brother is the big brother, take care of your brothers at all times!" He turned around and whispered a few words to a captain, and then said to me: "I know about this. Come, have a drink." Tea, let’s chat! Xiaocheng, watch your seat!”
A thin captain quickly brought me a chair and asked me to sit down with a charming smile. I thanked him politely, then looked at the four of them and said, "Master Baihu, what are you doing?"
"Let them practice their skills! You may not know that they are all responsible for beating the imperial staff. If their skills are not outstanding, how can they do it!" Yue Ziqian said with a smile.
I had heard about the court stick, but I was surprised when I saw the root of the wood hit the yellow paper, but the yellow paper was unscathed. Yue Ziqian saw my curiosity, so he stopped the four of them, and then said to me: "Go and see Look at the paper."
I stretched out my hand to pinch the yellow paper, and the piece of paper was lifted up smoothly. When I looked at the bottom, I was stunned. The paper underneath had already been shattered, and a gust of wind blew by, making people unable to open their eyes.
I hid my face to avoid it and caught a glimpse of the prisoners, who had different expressions. Most of them were afraid, but a few had disdain on their faces. I returned to Yue Ziqian and said, "It's really good kung fu!" Yue Ziqian disagreed and said, "What's this little kung fu? It's just to scare people. There are many people in Jin Yiwei, and you are no bad, so hard work!" I cupped my fists and said, "From now on, I have to rely on the support of adults from hundreds of households!"
Yue Ziqian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Yue knows it well." Then he said loudly to the prisoners: "You have also seen, what happens when a stick hits people here? I don't think it will be better than that." How good is that yellow paper! The Jinyiwei has the rules of the Jinyiwei. Of course, the "Da Ming Code" is very clear. You are all people with official titles. If you can come here, you have violated the prohibition. The commander ordered us, Don't torture you, I don't want to, you are all born and raised by your parents. It's really not good to be mutilated. If you accidentally die here, it is not worth it. Brother, I just took over this place. It is too rude to use violence. So, I give you three days to think about it. If you are guilty, speak out. If you think you are innocent, bring it forward. Don't let us force you to speak!" After hearing this, these people looked at each other in shock, and they could see that some of them were frightened. . Yue Ziqian continued to drink water, and I asked: "Are they all prisoners?" Yue Ziqian shook his head and said: "Not yet. Brother Liao won't allow execution, so I have to be tactful." The so-called tactfulness is probably to knock the mountain to shock the tiger!
I looked at these prisoners and whispered: "To be honest, I want to find someone here!" Yue Ziqian was stunned and said: "Who are you looking for?"
I briefly explained the matter, and Yue Ziqian smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and said: "Such a trivial matter is insignificant. Jinyiwei arrests more people every day. From now on, you can check it directly in the lottery room, where The person in charge is called Bao Xiaobai, he is very talkative."
I almost couldn't believe my ears. Could this Bao Xiaobai be Bao Song's younger brother? I drew a few circles in my mind and thought about Liao Jianzhong's words, so I didn't say anything. I just said, "I'm not a newbie, so I'm not familiar with it yet, so please take care of me!" Yue Ziqian laughed and said, "In a while, It will be good if everyone remembers you." With that said, he called Xiao Chengzi and asked him to check whether Gao Dezheng was there.
We were eating tea and Yue Ziqian was looking at the paperwork. I accidentally cast my eyes on the prisoners and discovered that Fang Lin and Jian Cheng, who were punished by Eunuch Zhang Yong that day, were also there. It was just that Jian Cheng was in handcuffs and Fang Lin was there. But his hands and feet are relaxed. Although Jian Cheng's beard and hair were disheveled, his face was calm; while Fang Lin had a frown on his face. Our eyes met, Jian Cheng actually giggled at me, while Fang Lin looked at me blankly, he had no idea who I was. I recalled the events of that day in my mind. My unintentional actions actually put several people in different situations. Looking around, I had to sigh.
Soon, Xiao Chengzi came back to report that there was such a person, who was the candidate magistrate of Leizhou County. He was discovered by Jin Yiwei Fanzi because he was eating flower wine, so he reported him and had him arrested. After hearing this, Yue Ziqian chuckled and said, "Every big thing will be sent to the imperial prison. Who did this? If there is no serious fault, just give him a few slaps and let him go!"
Xiao Chengzi said: "Back to Mr. Baihu, Mr. Hua Baihu arrested him a few days ago. He has never been tried and thrown here. I think you can discuss it with Mr. Hua Baihu and make arrangements!"
Yue Ziqian said angrily: "Do you still need to discuss such a trivial matter with Brother Hua? Not to mention the face of Brother Zhang Ying, pass on my words, sneak that guy out, give him five strokes with the cane, and let him go!"
I was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Master Yue Baihu, this subordinate really doesn't dare. I am not familiar with him! I am just entrusted to ask. You can just let him go. I...!"
Yue Ziqian stood up with a smile, and I also stood up. He whispered: "Brother Liao has already said that you are our brother, let us take good care of you, so don't worry too much."
Not long after, two captains pulled out a young man from the crowd. The man was so frightened that his body was like chaff, and his legs were as soft as noodles. Judging from his face, he does have the temperament of a scholar. When Yue Ziqian saw this, he smiled and said: "This man is too irresponsible. I think he will have to get over with two hits." I have seen what these people are capable of, and I am also worried.
Xiao Chengzi understood, pulled Gao Dezheng over, and said: "You also saw that someone is escorting you out, but according to the "Da Ming Law", officials who violate the rules will be punished with a board. Your body is full of money, are you willing to change the punishment method? "
The gloomy face of Gao Dezheng immediately became lively, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, I am willing." Xiao Chengzi said hello, and then said: "A fine of fifty taels! Turn it over to the treasury!"
Gao Dezheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, but I can't afford so much money now, so I need to go back to my hometown to get it."
Xiao Chengzi smiled and said: "It's simple. If you put your name in the official department and the Jin Yiwei will leave your name, you can't escape. In this way, you sign and we will naturally arrange for someone to pick it up."
I never thought that my words could free someone. I felt uneasy. Liao Jianzhong always told me to keep a low profile, but other people favored me. I gradually realized that they valued me. , is the person behind me, so my superficiality is not only not laughed at, but taken seriously.
It was a short road and I was walking very nervously. The people next to me were as nervous as me. I led this Gao Dezheng out in a daze. He was as nervous as a dog and followed closely behind, with his waist bent, for fear that I would drag him out. He stayed.
The Jinyiwei people I met didn't seem to pay attention to us two strange people. Maybe they were familiar with it, maybe they didn't want to ask. In short, I arrived at the back door smoothly, and it was still Lou Feng. I prepared my words, but he just rushed. I nodded and waved my hand, and the captains moved out of the way. Gao De and I were walking out of the corner door.
"Master, you finally came out, but it was so hard for the young lady and me to find you!" Gao Qian saw us, ran up, grabbed Gao Dezheng's hand, his eyes filled with tears, Gao Dezheng instantly regained his true self and said: "Gao Qian, I'm not doing well. I have to thank this little brother for this. Little brother, what's your surname?"
I said calmly: "My name is Zhang Ying!"
Gao De hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Well, little brother, you come back with me, and I will thank you very much tonight!" I waved my hand and said: "Go back and thank this executive. He has been waiting for you for a long time. Many days. Remember to prepare the ransom, otherwise, they will still capture you."
"That's it, that's it. Don't worry, little brother. The Gao family still has some money. Gao Qian, do you have any banknotes in your hand? Yes, give it to me quickly."
Gao Qian hurriedly took out the banknote and gave it to me. How could I ask for it? There were many people here looking at it from a distance, and I couldn't ask for it. Finally, he simply pushed it and turned around and went back.
I heard "Benefactor" several times, which made me even more embarrassed.
