Day 12.

Bored, he silently counted the number again in his heart, Wang Ji scratched his head in distress, but saw that Wang Xiang, who was much younger than himself, was lying on the ground in a daze.

The combination of their names is auspicious, but it is a very coincidental that they did not have such a surname in the first place, but changed the surname of the main family several years after signing the deed of sale.

Of course, this was not forced, on the contrary, because as the porter, they once intercepted a madman who tried to storm the Wang Mansion in vain, and they were injured for this, and changed their surnames to be the master's reward for slaves, so the two of them and the original twenty taels of bounty all happily accepted it.

But because they were privately talking about the master's house in front of the door, and even involved in the affairs of the court, the two of them who had contributed to it were actually pushed to the end like this, and after being locked up for more than half a month, they were taken out of the Wang Mansion by Wang Fulin in a daze. In the past few days, the person who delivered the meal said that he had leaked his mouth, and Wang Ji knew that Wang Daokun and Wang Fulin's nephew seemed to have fallen out.

But even so, Wang Daokun actually allowed Wang Fulin to take the two of them away, which was also something he was particularly afraid of, for fear that Wang Fulin would vent his anger on them.

But the result is that they have been locked up for more than a month, but it seems that they have been forgotten, and he would rather be beaten up happily!

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door, as if someone was removing the big padlock outside. Despite being locked up in such a place, Wang Ji was barely able to count the hours - even if he couldn't, the feeling of fullness in his stomach at least reminded him that it had only been long since the last lunch!

Realize that things have finally changed a little. He immediately got up and went to Wang Xiang's side. Three or two strokes slapped people up. With the two doors fully opened. It was completely different from the previous time when he only opened half a fan at most, and he suddenly became more convinced.

Sure enough, it was not the person who delivered the food standing outside, but the one they knew, an entourage guard beside Wang Fulin. The man glanced at them and said lightly, "Follow me." ”

Although he was not sure whether the situation was good or bad, Wang Ji thought that no matter how bad it was, he would stay in this kind of place like a prison cell, and leave when he saw the other party turn around. He hurriedly reminded Wang Xiang, who was a little confused, and hurriedly chased him out. When they were brought to this mansion before, they were full of trepidation, where could they care about the surrounding environment, and they were nervous at this time, and they didn't pay attention to the twists and turns under their feet.

When he finally realized that something was wrong, the younger Wang Xiang glanced back at the way he came, but he felt that he couldn't remember it anyway, and he became even more nervous. At this time, Wang Ji stabbed him with his elbow.

"It's like it's here. Be careful for a while, kowtow when you should kowtow. Beg for mercy when you should beg for mercy. ”

Wang Xiang nodded hurriedly, and sure enough, after passing the courtyard gate, there were three main rooms in front of him, and there was a young man who was about less than twenty standing in front of the door, but the two didn't recognize each other.

That little guy is Ming Xiaoer, he and his father continued to live here after they sold the house, not so much selling their bodies, but signing a living contract for employment.

At this time, he was a little curious to open the curtain and let the two of them in, remembering that Wang Fulin ordered him to tiptoe out of the courtyard gate immediately, but when he left, he also glanced at the four entourages who moved two spring stools in, thinking that there were just two people in the house who had committed something and seemed to have offended Wang Fulin's porter. I even have to go out and take care of the portal by myself!

In the room, Wang Ji and Wang Xiang were even more surprised when they saw that only Wang Fulin was sitting alone on the main seat, but they still hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. But before they could plead for mercy, they only heard Wang Fulin ask, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

"I know it's wrong, and I ask the little official to forgive the two of us once, next time we won't dare again!" Wang Xiang was young and slippery, and there was a hint of luck when he spoke.

Wang Ji was more pessimistic, secretly thinking that if Wang Fulin was so tolerant, he would need to lock them up for so long? So, he cautiously spoke: "The little one admits the beating and accepts the punishment, and only asks the little official to dissipate his anger." ”

"The gossip master in front of the door, it stands to reason that he deserves a heavy punishment, but after locking you up for so long, it can barely be regarded as a punishment."

Wang Fulin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them, looking like he was going to live for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, thinking to himself that it would be difficult for him to achieve such a fierce and vicious spirit? It's just that when he made a big fuss with these two guys, he also had the intention of turning people back and using them as concierges, and after that kind of incident, it was impossible for Wang Daokun to use these two guys who didn't have a doorkeeper on their mouths.

And after all, he is a small family here, and once these two guys are in awe, it will be much easier to use. Father Ming and Ming Xiaoer's father and son were born and raised in Beijing, and they are too slippery to be suitable. Wang Siming is a little reasonable, and besides, the little guy will be able to take charge of other things in the future. Fan Dou has also been running a bookstore in the capital for two years, and although he has a group of team members, he is better at running it, and it is more appropriate to put it in secret. As for the group of people he brought with him, they all followed him to the north and south, but they had little experience in the capital.

However, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and as soon as this series of things came out recently, he couldn't help but think that he could use the two of them to make another article. Therefore, in the face of the two relieved porters, he suddenly changed his words and his tone became sharp.

"It's just that the Wang family law is still there, but it can't be said to be spared. Twenty for each person, after the beating, stay with me as a porter, and if you commit another crime, you know the consequences! ”

Or do you want to fight?

Wang Ji and Wang Xiang quietly exchanged glances, thinking that they would have to stay here to do things here in the future, and they felt that the future was even more bleak. But Wang Fulin's next words made them stunned.

"When you get beaten for a while, remember to be louder!"

What does that mean?

When Wang Ji and Wang Xiang exited the house in frustration, they saw that there were already people waiting outside, but the door of the courtyard had just been closed. However, there was no imaginary appearance of the big board waiting, only two vaguely recognizable attendants copied the ring ruler in their hands. I realized that I would be beaten with this thing at that time. The two were surprised and delighted at the same time. But wait until you step forward and want to speak. But I saw one of them put his finger to his lips, and then said in a very low voice: "Remember, when you are beaten for a while, you scream louder, miserable, it is better to let the neighbors know, do you understand?" ”

I don't understand......

Wang Xiang wanted to answer like this, but seeing that Wang Ji was already nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice, he could only nod his head when he was muttering in his heart. Wait until you lie on the spring bench. He was pondering what Wang Fulin and these entourages meant, and suddenly he only felt hot on his buttocks, but when he was stunned, he didn't scream, because it didn't hurt much. But almost at the same moment, Wang Ji let out an earth-shattering scream, if he hadn't been stunned and glanced sideways, he saw that the other party was only beaten by a ring ruler, not those thick boards, I was afraid that he would mistakenly think that this was beating people on a big board.

"Stinky boy. If you look around, you won't scream! ”

I heard this low scolding. Before Wang Xiang could answer, he only felt another sharp pain in his buttocks, this time it was much heavier than the first one before, and he immediately screamed without pretending. Even if he still didn't understand what was going on, he still immediately cooperated and shouted and cried for mercy, which was exaggerated compared to Wang Ji's pretentiousness before.

Moreover, although it was just a ring ruler, after more than a dozen strokes, it was really painful, and his screams seemed a little more real. But just as he was trying his best to act, he suddenly heard Wang Ji muttering on the side.

"Isn't it just twenty? A few big brothers, it seems that they have already arrived, right? ”

Wang Xiang realized that he had forgotten to count - this is simply unbelievable, if he made a mistake and was punished in the past, who was not allowed to count to death, lest he be beaten? It can be seen that today's scene is really too unexpected for them. And at this time, he heard the strong man who copied the ring ruler spitting angrily: "It's just such a small punishment, and you can't be killed if you take two more hits!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xiang heard a more dull sound than just now, it sounded like the sound of a board flogging meat, and then heard Wang Ji was humming weakly in that breath, startled He thought that people were saying one thing and doing another, but when he looked sideways, he saw that Wang Ji was lying on the spring bench and had nothing to do, and he was still making a look at himself, when he heard a similar voice again, he found that someone was carrying a stick and smashing a cotton bale, and he didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly followed the hoarse voice and begged for mercy again.

So, the two self-taught porters set up one another, and the moaning and screaming became lower and lower, until at last they completely stopped at the suggestion of the executioner.

And then, it's no longer their performance time.

"Why are you so unbeaten? I didn't have to exert much force! ”

"Let's talk about it after telling my son first. It's a big deal to drag it out and bury it at night, is there less of this kind of in the capital? Who let them mess with Childe's head! ”

"That's right, the first Feng Gonggong only beat Feng Bangning, and Lord Shoufu only beat You Qi, and our son-in-law only killed two porters!"

Wang Ji and Wang Xiang didn't have a chance to speak at this time, because their mouths had been firmly covered, and when they were involuntarily carried back to the room where Wang Fulin had seen them before, and when they knelt in front of the young man again, they saw Wang Fulin looking at them with a smile.

"Now, I think you should have a taste for it. Let you act, that's because there have been crackling boards everywhere in the capital recently, and I can't avoid vulgarity, so I'll make some trouble together. Although my house is secluded, I happened to change neighbors before entering Beijing, and after hearing about the one just now, I thought there would be some movement. In the future, if things get big, someone will ask you, remember what to say! ”

Wang Ji and Wang Xiang had just heard the conversation of those entourage, and if they couldn't guess the name behind them, they would be fools. At this moment, they hurriedly kowtowed and agreed, and then they only heard Wang Fulin say again: "Go back and be a porter here with me, and I will give you as much as you took before." I don't have more visitors here than my uncle, and I don't have as many bags in my account, but with today's incident, I won't treat you badly. But all the people around me, you can ask them yourself, who doesn't have their own dividend every year? Not to mention supporting his wife and children, it is enough to provide for the elderly. ”

For this, Wang Ji and Wang Xiang have no doubt, after all, Wang Fulin has always been a hot topic of discussion among people in Wang's mansion before, especially those locals in Beijing, and they don't know how much Wang Fulin's glorious past has been said by those predecessors of She County. Thinking that since then, not only had the past been written off, but also on the ship of this little official, the two of them suddenly settled down.

After being locked up for more than a month, even if the twenty precepts were punished, he still found a good job, which is really a good deal!

The so-called courtyard that implements the family law before is a unique courtyard sandwiched between the neighbors in Wang Fulin's small mansion - this is also because the inn of Ming Lao Dad was not boxy, but presented a strange geometric pattern of the geographical environment.

At this moment, in a courtyard in the east, there were people sticking to the wall, and when they heard someone next door as if someone came out of the main room, whispering about the beating of people, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, but when they heard someone remind the wall that they had ears, the snoopers hurriedly took a few steps back and flashed into the house, and then saw a figure on the wall flash through the crack in the door, and then breathed a deep sigh of relief.

When Wang Fulin and Wang Daokun had a conflict, the information that the porter who punished Wang's offense and killed people was put on the desks of some relevant people. Some people don't think so, but they don't take it to heart; Some people don't have time to pay attention to it for a while; There were also people who sent messages to certain people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and decided to strike while the iron was hot when the time came. However, compared with this little thing that happened in Wang Fulin's family, more people's attention is focused on You Qi, who has just been expelled from the house by Zhang Juzheng, including Zhang Juzheng himself.

And Feng Bao, who left people to Feng Bangning, couldn't take care of this matter for a long time, and he had been dragged by the illness of the Empress Dowager Chen. Although the Empress Dowager Chen was registered as the queen in the first year of Longqing, she was childless and sick, and once angered the emperor because of trivial matters, and lived in another palace most of the time, and now after being registered as the empress dowager of Rensheng, she lives in Renshou Palace. Although she has no power and does not take care of things, Zhang Hong spoke on behalf of Emperor Wanli, and the Empress Dowager Li also reminded that Feng Bao, the prime minister, had to stay in Renshou Palace with Zhang Hong even if he had a good chance, in case this person made any mistakes, thus ruining the reputation of filial piety of the little emperor.

In this way, Feng Bangning no longer has anyone to control him. His father Feng You has always doted on him the most as an only son, seeing that he was beaten so well, now that Feng Bao has got the culprit over and let his son toss, he will not care. So, Feng Bangning didn't care that You Qi had been beaten in the Zhang family before, so he asked people to lift people in front of him, and directly "rewarded" You Qi's intact calves with a board, forcing him to ask if the conflict between him and Yao Kuang before was directed by You Qi.

Seeing that You Qi didn't speak, Feng Bangning was smoking for a while, where could he still keep his mouth shut, so he directly told You Qi that Xu Jue found out about Zhang Juzheng's deal with Wang Fulin.

"You Qi, dare to calculate, master, let me tell you, your lower body is blooming, but the rest of your body is still full of good meat, what will happen if you offend me, you wait and see!" (To be continued.) )
