Chapter 222: Falling from the Sky
Due to Wang Yuan's non-cooperation, the court trial could not continue in the afternoon. Although Yang Shenjin was annoyed, there was nothing he could do for the time being, except to send someone to urge Pei Dunfu, who was escorting Pei Dunfu on the way, to arrive quickly. It is not impossible to be arraigned alone, but Yang Shenjin does not plan to do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
One of Yang Shenjin's rules of doing things is that everything must seem to be nothing wrong with it on the surface, which is his style of doing things. Imagine if Wang Ji was here, where would he care about Wang Yuan's requirements, he wouldn't care about what Wang Yuan thought if he wanted to do it, and he would do it directly. It may make a mess afterwards, but Wang Ji will never think about it so much.
Yang Shenjin doesn't know whether his style of doing things is more beneficial or disadvantageous, but one thing he knows is that Li Linfu appreciates his style of acting, and after Wei Jian fell, Li Linfu handed over the position of the secretary of the criminal department to himself instead of Wang Jie, which is proof. In Li Xiangguo's mind, he is still reliable.
After lunch, Yang Shenjin rarely had time to take a nap. The spring afternoon is already drowsy, the weather is warm, when the bees fly and the butterflies dance, it is most comfortable to lie on the soft couch and take a nap, Yang Shenjin has forgotten how long he has not had this kind of enjoyment, when the whole body is relaxed and quiet, Yang Shenjin is a little grateful to Wang Yuan for his trouble.
When Yang Shenjin was sleeping in the back hall of Begonia, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan stepped into the county government through the back door. Wang Yuan was wearing a full set of official uniforms, and he was not even afraid of the heat and wore a thick official hat on his head, while Gongsun Lan behind him was dressed like an entourage, with a waist knife around his waist, and his two mustaches were very eye-catching.
The two avoided the crowded county hall and the office house, and went straight to the back hall, outside the hanging door, more than a dozen soldiers guarded the entrance of the back hall, these were the retinues who followed from the capital. I knew Wang Yuan when I saw him, but even so, someone still blocked Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan's way.
"Where is Vice Envoy Wang going?"
"This official went to see Yang Shangshu, what, do you want your permission?" Wang Yuan shouted with a heavy face.
Of course, the soldiers didn't dare to stop it, even if it was clear that they wouldn't listen to Wang Yuan's orders, but nominally Wang Yuan was still the deputy envoy for investigating the case, and they didn't want to provoke him more. Besides, when he entered Beihai, the soldier who Wang Yuan whipped on the street was also included, and when he saw Wang Yuan, he felt a kind of coercion for no reason, and felt that it was better to provoke less.
"That's the case, there was a word in the inner house, Yang Shangshu took a break after the meal, and ordered no guests, so he dared to ask, Deputy Envoy Wang should come later."
Wang Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, Yang Shenjin fell asleep, this was a good opportunity.
"Oh, I see, it's okay, I'll go to the courtyard of the back house and wait for Yang Shangshu to wake up, I won't disturb him."
"This ...... All right. The soldiers had no reason to stop them, so they had to dodge a way and let Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan enter the Hanging Flower Gate. After entering the door, I walked more than a dozen steps along the path, and in front of me was the courtyard where Yang Shenjin lived. A wall stretched to both sides, and the green leaves on the wall were entangled, and the creeper and honeysuckle were entangled, covering the entire wall tightly until the other wall at the west end.
Wang Yuan glanced at him and said in a low voice: "The small courtyard in the west is where Li Yong is held, and if you want to enter, you must pass through Yang Shenjin's courtyard, and there must be someone at the door." ”
Gongsun Lan nodded and whispered, "Do you see the locust tree at the back?" The branches were reckoned to be directly above the house, so that they could avoid the guards. ”
Wang Yuan nodded knowingly and said, "Just do it, the leaves are thick, just hiding." ”
The two of them glanced back at the distant hanging door behind them, and several guards were lazily bragging and farting by the door, not paying attention to whether the two of them entered the small courtyard where Yang Shenjin lived after they came in. The opportunity was rare, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan's figures flickered, and disappeared into the fat green leaves, and after a while, the two of them appeared on the courtyard wall in the west with their waists bent.
Although there were many soldiers and guards around, in the afternoon, most of them hid in the shade to doze off or gossip, and no one wanted to look up at the dazzling sunshine of the sky. In addition, the tall trees in the back hall are swaying, it is the time when the green, fat, red and thin are thin, and the line of sight is not good, even if someone looks up, the angle is slightly wrong, and they can't see the two people lying on the green leaves of the wall.
Gongsun Lan was light, and in the blink of an eye, she moved along the fence to the shade of a large locust tree, and jumped between the branches with a light tap of her toes. Wang Yuan held his breath and stared, stepping on the vines and green leaves on the wall as if walking a tightrope, and he didn't dare to see if the people around him saw him, so he trotted to the shade of the tree.
Gongsun Lan's voice came from the top of his head: "The light skill is too poor, I was discovered by someone just after a slow step, do you see, the guard at the entrance of the courtyard has just turned around." ”
Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "I've worked hard to do this kind of thing in broad daylight." Cousin, can't you boast about me? It always hits me. ”
Gongsun Lan took a sip and said: "If you want me to praise you, if you don't work hard, you will suffer sooner or later." ”
Wang Yuanyuan was big, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, practice hard in the future, what should I do now." ”
Gongsun Lan leaned over and stretched out her hand to come down, Wang Yuan grabbed her hand, and her body was pulled up like a cloud, standing between the branches. Gongsun Lan's face was in front of him, and the two stood on a tree branch and their bodies were tightly together, very ambiguous.
The two discussed a few words in a low voice, and Gongsun Lan came to the top of the hut along a branch that stretched out, although the branch was thin, but Gongsun Lan only trembled slightly when she walked on it, Wang Yuan secretly praised. But seeing Gongsun Lan floating lightly on the tiles on the roof, she didn't make the slightest sound. Immediately afterwards, the tiles began to be slowly uncovered, and a moment later a small hole was revealed in the roof.
Gongsun Lan looked down for a moment, and made a sleep gesture to Wang Yuan in the shade of the tree, Wang Yuan understood that Li Yong below was sleeping in the house. Gongsun Lan moved like a fly, quickly expanding the entrance of the cave until it could allow one person to pass through, and then turned over and jumped on the branch to return to Wang Yuan's side.
"I'll drop you down with a rope, and then I'll pull you up and cover you with tiles."
Wang Yuan nodded, and Gongsun Lan took out the string hovering in his clothes and tied it around Wang Yuan's waist, and took Wang Yuan's waist and moved step by step to the top of the hole. The branches of the tree shook so much that Wang Yuan felt that the branches were about to break, and there was a rustling sound, for fear of being heard.
Gongsun Lan was very dissatisfied, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Wang Yuan's belt to lift his body into the air, and used his skills to stabilize the branches, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly hung Wang Yuan under the branches, and lowered his head down to the hole in the roof.
Wang Yuan felt like a doll, tossing at will in Gongsun Lan's hands, but there was no way, although he felt indecent and unhappy, but who called himself ordinary martial arts, so he had to concentrate on descending his body inch by inch and burrowing into the hole in the roof.
Li Yong curled up and lay on a wooden couch facing the wall, unaware of a large spider falling overhead, but Wang Yuan himself had too many hammers, and the lacing under the unsuitable official hat suddenly loosened, and the hat fell from the air, impartially leaning on Li Yong's shoulder.
Li Yong sat up with his shoulders covered, and was surprised to see the official hat rolling on the side, and suddenly felt something strange in his head, and when he looked up, he saw a person hanging upside down, his face was bloodshot and red, and his eyes were red, so he screamed in fright and jumped up from the bed.
Wang Yuan hurriedly put his finger to his mouth and motioned to Li Yong not to make a sound, Li Yong seemed to recognize Wang Yuan and hurriedly covered his mouth. But the shout also alarmed a guard at the door, who shouted, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Yong hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I had a nightmare." ”
"Be honest."
"Okay." Li Yong said.
There was no sound under the porch outside the house, and Wang Yuan also fell to the ground sweating profusely, sorting out the messy clothes on his body, and standing in front of Li Yong, who was full of doubts.
Wang Yuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Li Yong hurriedly waved his hand and pointed outside the door, signaling that there was someone at the door. Wang Yuan looked around and saw that there was only one room in the hut, and there was no place to speak, and it was impossible for him to speak without being heard by the guards at the door. After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out a small gold ingot from his arms and whispered a few words in Li Yong's ear.
Li Yong nodded and took the gold ingot, waited for Wang Yuan to hide at the door, opened the door and walked out of the door. Immediately outside the door, the guard's vigilant reprimand said, "What to do? ”
"This, I'm a little thirsty, can you trouble my brother to help me buy a jar of wine, I have this small ingot of gold on me, buy a jar of good wine to quench my thirst, and the rest will be for you to do an errand fee for your brother."
The guard hesitated and said, "Do you want to drink?" I'm afraid it's not in order. ”
Li Yong said: "That's it, I'm still bothering the brothers at the gate of the courtyard, maybe they will think it's not a big deal." ”
"Don't, don't, I'll go." The guard hurriedly said, this is gold, and there are at least three or four dollars left after buying wine, how can this cheap be taken by the people at the door.
"But there is one thing, you are not allowed to say outside, I bought it secretly, you drank it secretly, and when I was done drinking, I threw away the empty jar. No one can say it. ”
"Okay, good luck, good luck."
Li Yong agreed and turned back into the house and closed the door, and the footsteps of the guards outside the house reached the entrance of the courtyard, and someone asked, "Old Seven, where are you going?" ”
"Lao Tzu went to, this also has to be asked."
"Cut, and lazy, who doesn't know that you like, you must go to a cool place to sleep for a while, don't worry, for the sake of you lost 300 Wen to us yesterday, I will let you be lazy, but don't go for too long."
"Fuck you, you won Lao Tzu's money and sold it well, Ming'er told you to lose all your pants." The scolding voices of the guards at the door faded away.
