Aruba was also beaten, and the whip was whipped. Lian Xin was tortured to death and death. He fainted from the pain and was woken up. When he woke up, he was knocked unconscious again. He was stunned and didn't open his mouth.
If he doesn't speak, everyone will feel uncomfortable and angry, and the more tricks he will do.
After struggling for half an hour, Lian Xin was completely bruised and showed no signs of letting go.
Han You shouted to stop, returned to the small courtyard, and ordered the doctor to treat Lian Xin's injuries.
In vain, no one expected that this guy's mouth would be so tough.
In fact, Han You had encountered this kind of situation before, and he had also been involved in aristocratic family affairs. The Wu and Liu families had arrested him frequently. Wang Shan had gone to the dungeon for interrogation before, and he was in a similar situation to Lian Xin. He would rather die than betray the family.
At that time, Han You thought this was an exception, but now he thinks it is a common phenomenon.
The more core children in the family are, the more loyal they are to the family. This kind of loyalty is not stupid loyalty, but a kind of "faith" that has been instilled in the mind since childhood. However, this kind of belief is completely derogatory, because the family members all He is a refined egoist.
Returning to the small courtyard and sitting at the stone table, Han You waited patiently.
It doesn't matter if Lian Xin doesn't speak, as long as Lian Wenxi speaks. Now let's bet on whether Lian Wenxi is Lian Xin's biological father.
Wang Hai was looking at the bamboo slips instead of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Han You couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you read the Book of Songs?"
"The younger ones are learning other things."
"What to study?"
"Master Huang was talking to you just now. I squatted under the window and listened for a while. I felt that what this man said made sense and wanted to think about it."
Han You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was no truth in this. Every sentence, every word, even the punctuation marks that Big Huang said were worth pondering carefully.
"Master, many of the younger ones don't understand. Can you explain it to me?"
Han You hesitated for a moment. In fact, he couldn't understand many of the words Big Old Huang said. This kind of incomprehension didn't mean that he didn't understand what he said, but that he needed to experience it. Only after he had experienced it and encountered it could he understand. The true meaning of these words.
Seeing that Han You remained silent, Wang Hai asked, "Huang Youwei said that a liar who cheats is a powerful liar who doesn't tell lies. I can't figure it out. How can he be a liar if he doesn't tell lies?" Woolen cloth?"
"I understand this."
Han You thought for a moment and made an analogy: "What would you think if the Imperial College admitted a female student one day, and then the female student attended classes during the day and went to a brothel to work as a school girl at night?"
"Shameless and disgraceful!"
"Then let me put it another way. There is a female schoolteacher in a brothel who sells herself at night but goes to the Imperial College to study hard during the day. What would you think?"
Wang Hai suddenly realized: "I was born poor, but I have great ambitions!"
"That's right." Han You snapped his fingers: "That's what Brother Huang probably means. For example, you hooked up with Shangguan's wife before. According to your statement, you slept with someone else's wife. This will definitely be despised. This is going to poke your spine, but if you say that the woman you love has become someone else’s wife, won’t everyone think you are pitiful?”
Wang Hai's eyes lit up: "I see, after listening to your words, I immediately got the Oil Pot Enlightenment."
Han You smiled slightly. That's what Big Huang meant. Real liars rarely tell lies and are even more honest than most people. They just tell the truth usually and only tell one or two lies at critical moments. .
Jiang Zhui opened the door of the small courtyard: "Commander, someone has come from the capital. He claims to be Lian Wenxi, the head of the Household Department. He didn't bring any servants. He came on horseback and was carrying a baggage."
"Oh, I came here in person, okay, bring it over."
Han You was quite surprised. He thought that at most he would send a butler or something like that to find out what happened.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Lian Wenxi arrived. Before Han You could see clearly what this guy looked like or even what he was wearing, the dignified head of the Sixth Department bowed his head.
After kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed three times and opened the bag. It was full of banknotes, at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and then three more times.
"Old Man Lian Wenxi, his inability to raise a son has led to a big mistake. All the faults are the fault of Old Man alone. I would like to ask Commander Han to be accommodating and let Gouzi go."
After finishing speaking, there were three more beeps.
After coming in and saying a word, the man in his forties kowtowed nine times, his posture so humble that he was in the mud.
It was only then that Han You saw the other party's appearance clearly.
He has an ordinary appearance, a little fat, and his facial features are a bit flat. In addition, he is wearing a commoner's robe instead of a Confucian robe or an official robe, giving him the impression of an honest and humble businessman.
Han You crossed his legs and said with a normal expression: "It seems that Mr. Lian already knows what happened."
"I don't know."
Lian Wenxi closed his eyes in pain: "But I know what kind of person Quanzi is. If it is an ordinary disaster, how can I bother to take charge of it? The villa is a place where dignitaries gather. If Quanzi hits someone, the one he hits is probably... I can’t even afford to offend someone in my family.”
Han You couldn't laugh or cry.
It turns out that Lian Wenxi didn't know what happened. He just knew his son Mo Ruofu, and Lian Xin often got into trouble. As soon as he heard that something had happened, the emperor's own army sent someone to notify him. Lian Wenxi had already prepared for the worst and was mentally prepared. .
"I estimate that this time your son may have exceeded your cognitive threshold."
Han You took a sip of tea and pursed his lips at Wang Hai.
Wang Hai put down the bamboo slips and slapped the table, startling Han You.
"Lian Wenxi, your dog is so good at gambling. He insists on going to a gambling stall and spending a lot of money. According to his method of losing, he will definitely lose tens of thousands of wealth. My young master knows that this gambling house is harmful to people, and he is deeply afraid that he will Your whole family's belongings have all been lost, so I told you that the gambling stall can only borrow up to four thousand guan, and no more can be borrowed."
There was no surprise on Lian Wenxi's face. It seemed that he also knew that his son was a bad gambler, so he quickly handed over his hand and thanked him.
Han You glanced at Wang Hai subconsciously. Is this guy's ability to comprehend so strong?
He obviously borrowed 4,000 guan and saw the girl running out. When it came to Wang Hai's mouth, why...it didn't sound like that.
Wang Hai continued: "I think he is the son of an official. He dares not speak out when he is angered by a frivolous woman. My young master is too lazy to care about it. He gives your Lian family a little face, so he allows the woman to accompany him and wait on him. But my young master can take care of it." The people who live in the villa can't control the other young masters, let alone your dog. They have obviously given you enough respect for your family, but your dog doesn't know how to restrain himself and actually gets into a quarrel with other young masters. That's all. He even injured His Highness Prince You.”
Lian Wen was both happy and surprised, and there were three more bangs: "Old Man... It's Old Man's fault, Lord Commander, it's Old Man's fault, it's Old Man's fault."
"That's it if it's just that." Wang Hai smiled ferociously: "In front of the public, the prince said that he is His Highness Prince You, but your dog said that if His Royal Highness Prince You is the prince, he is the emperor."
Lian Wenxi was stunned and opened his mouth for a long time. Then he rolled his eyes and pulled away with a loud sound.
Han You rolled his eyes and said no need to explain. Just as he was about to pour a cup of tea, Wang Hai picked up the teapot, walked over, kicked his feet and poured the tea on Lian Wenxi's head.
After Lian Wenxi woke up, he was first confused, then stunned, then frightened, and then his whole body was shaken.
"Lord Lian."
Han You took a sip of tea, drank it, and said calmly: "You don't need me to tell you, you know that this matter can't be revealed. Don't mention that I am the emperor's personal soldier, just say that your son Lian Xin said it in public. These words were treasonous and disrespectful. Not only the people in my villa heard these words, but also the young masters, merchants, and aristocratic family members who were present heard them. After daybreak, they will definitely spread throughout the capital, and you know the consequences."
Lian Wenxi closed his eyes again, tears fell from his eyes, and his face was ashen.
Han You knocked on the table and asked softly: "Do you want to live?"
Lian Wenxi suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shrunk like needlepoints, and knocked his head to the ground three more times.
"I dare to ask the commander, can my Lian family survive, or..."
"one person."
"Is it the old man or the dog?"
"you choose."
"Quinzi!" Lian Wenxi clenched his fists: "I dare to ask the commander, where is this way of survival."
"Hua Qiong, a member of the household department, and Zhang Tongju, the right assistant minister of the household department."
Lian Wenxi cried out: "The border army's embezzlement of food and salary?!"
"You are indeed a smart man."
Han You asked again: "Do you want to live?"
"Live, the dog lives!"
Han You finally showed a smile, snapped his fingers, and Beimen Yuyong walked in.
"Tell the people below and explain to the young masters present today that the treasonous people are not the sons of officials, but heretic merchants who drank too much and talked nonsense. They have been taken to the dungeon of Jingzhao Mansion for questioning."
"Commander Han, this old man..."
Lian Wenxi, who was almost hopeless, begged: "Can I see Quan Zi?"
Han You hummed, and Jiang Zhui left.
After a while, Lian Xin was brought in, looking like a dead dog. He didn't have any good skin on his body and was still unconscious.
Lian Wenxi suddenly got up and finally got angry: "Han You, you are so cruel. My son is a Confucian scholar and I am an official of the Sixth Ministry. Even if it is a crime of treason and injustice, he should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment to find out the cause and effect." …”
"presumptuous!"
Wang Hai kicked Lian Wenxi down and cursed angrily: "It's just a skin injury. My young master is afraid that your dog won't be able to withstand the beating and bites you again or says something that shouldn't be said. Then I whipped him a few times to test. If my young master doesn’t beat him, he will be taken to the Ministry of Punishment directly. For such a heinous crime, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment will definitely beat your dog to death in order to win credit. Now that my young master has been beaten, the emperor’s own army will interrogate him. , having come to a conclusion, the Ministry of Punishment naturally does not dare to interfere anymore, how dare you call my young master by his first name without repaying your kindness!"
Lian Wenxi was stunned, and after thinking about it deeply, it seemed...that was what happened.
Without any hesitation, Lian Wenxi knelt down on the ground, and there were three more bang-bang bangs, thanking him profusely.
Beimen Yuyong on the side was dumbfounded and looked at Han You who was also a little confused. He seemed to be asking, is this guy Wang Hai?
Han You shrugged. It was Wang Hai, but Wang Hai had just been listening to me and Big Boss Huang chatting for a while under the window.
