In the outer study, Xu Hao was speechless after listening to Yao Yuan's words, and sure enough, the officialdom is the most unscrupulous, and the son of a dignified scholar is shameless to worship himself as a godfather, which is ridiculous and contemptible!

No wonder Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs can run rampant for a while, men are most afraid of the root of their lives, whether they have or not, they are incorruptible and shameful and grovel to the powerful, and the residual poison of officialdom culture still exists until later generations.

Yao Yuan's heart was like a dry job, although he didn't notice any change in Xu Dudu's face, he hurriedly said: "The son's actions are also to show his respect for the governor, and it is not too much to call the governor a godfather if he wants to talk to the old man on an equal footing." ”

Xu Hao frowned and said nothing, Yao Yuan hurriedly said: "Actually, this is the villain's idea, it has nothing to do with my son-in-law, if the governor blames it, then punish the villain." ”

Xu Hao sneered: "Do you think I won't be as knowledgeable as you?" Smile when it never happened? ”

Yao Yuan fell to his knees with a thud, and said with a sweaty back: "The villain is also a last resort, so he can only make this decision." ”

Xu Hao glanced at him and asked, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." "If the other party is trying to be a franchise, then don't expect to be an official in this life.

Yao Yuan said in a low voice: "The villain's wife is gone, and I can't find it after begging the Shuntian Mansion and the county officials, so I have no choice but to risk death to beg the governor, alas! ”

"Oh!" Xu Hao was really a little surprised, it turned out that there was really a reason for it, this Yao Yuan is a character, and he is also in a good mood today, so he immediately stopped talking nonsense and ordered: "Li Dong, you go for a trip." ”

At that moment, Yao Yuan came out with a thousand thanks, Li Dong took him directly to Shuntian Mansion, and then left Yao Yuan to go back.

Yao Yuan, who was full of expectations, saw that the yamen was not jumping because of the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, what should the officials do or what they should do, everyone turned a blind eye to him, and couldn't help but secretly curse the Xu family for bluffing, it seems that the governor of Xu is not enough, so he had to go home stupidly.

The next day, Yao Yuan went to Yang's house in discouragement. A few of the Shuntianfu raiders came to the alley again, this time led by an experienced person.

came to Liu Lao'er's house, who went straight to fetch water, and couldn't help but say that he put on the chain and left, and the neighbors were all alarmed and followed to Yao's house.

Liu Lao'er stumbled into the courtyard and exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" The little old man has always been law-abiding. ”

The leader was almost forty years old, and sneered: "According to the confession of the neighbors, only you go to Yao's house every day to deliver water, and the Yao family's wife is gone, and you have absolutely nothing to do with it." ”

Liu Lao'er shouted: "Little Lao'er really doesn't know what to do. Every morning I come to deliver water, what does it matter to me if people lose it? ”

"Why didn't it matter." Zhu Kuai still sneered, "Can a good big living person disappear if he can't say it?" Will the woman run away from home if no one seduces? Everyone in the surrounding neighborhood can prove their innocence, and I have never seen a living person in or out of this alley, hehe! ”

sneered, and then said sharply: "Only you and Wang Wuju, who checked out, can't tell clearly, either you killed people and destroyed traces, or he abducted people, so I won't make it clear today." Discipline you to shed your skin if you don't die. ”

Seeing this, you said: "Come out, take 500 Wen hard-earned money first, and then go with us to Shuntianfu, if the master lets you go home." I'll come back to you tomorrow for questioning, in short, this case is remembered, we can't get better, then none of you should think about it. ”

The neighbors were shocked, and the government paid attention to it, which meant that it was endless. Unless you solve the case, can you still do business once a day? The hard-earned money is not enough to make a difference, so they have persuaded Liu to think about it. Don't hurt others or yourself.

In other words, Liu Laoer only makes a few dollars a day? At this moment, he was bombed by the official, even if he knew that the other party was deliberately intimidating, but when it came to this, how could he not know what to do if he had lived in the capital for a long time? was targeted by the government, and if the case is not concluded for a day, it will not be over for a day, even if you come to the house every day to eat and get a card, you can't stand it.

At this time, Liu Lao'er didn't care about the friendship between gods and horses, and said honestly: "I remembered, one day I came to deliver water, and I happened to see Wang Wuju and Yao's daughter-in-law holding hands, and the next day they disappeared." ”

The neighbors immediately made an uproar and scolded Liu Laoer for affecting the neighborhood. As soon as he heard it, he knew what was going on, and he tacitly looked at each other and waved his hand: "You are all dispersed, let's visit elsewhere." ”

Even Liu Lao'er was released, and a few catchers came to a secluded wine shop and sat down, and discussed: "Listen to that old man's tone, most of them are the Wuju people, who are famous and surnamed, and are not afraid that they will not be traced." It is unlikely that this triennial martial arts will be given up for a woman, and even if it does, it is impossible not to even have a home. ”

An old catcher said: "The preliminary examination will be held in a few days, and the identity must be verified before the preliminary examination, and you can wait for the rabbit." ”

Some people were embarrassed to catch it: "But the identity of the Wuju people is precious, in case they don't tell the truth and they are investigated, we are not laughing at it." ”

The old man said quickly: "Let my brother follow him to a place to stay, and then I will eat a few glasses of wine, pretend to be drunk, and knock on the door to scare him first." If he is silent, you will come forward to apologize for me, and only say that you have come to apportionment of the conscription, and the lieutenant has invited us to have a drink.

It's hot to ask for a bowl of water to drink, and invite him to eat and drink together, during which to see if he is weak-hearted, as long as there is a ghost in his heart, he can't hide our fiery eyes, do you say it's good?

Everyone suddenly laughed and said: "You are Dongfang Shuo of our Shun Tianfu, what an old thief is really scheming." ”

In this way, brothers were sent to guard around the military headquarters in disguise, and every day Wuju people from all over the country came and went. And after all this time, Wang Bo thought that the government had given up, thinking about how many cases and disputes would occur every day when the capital was so big, who would pay attention to a lost mother-in-law?

If you rely on the identity of the martial arts people, even if you are far more noble than the above-mentioned people, it is not something that ordinary officials and officials can do, so what can you do if you deny that there is no evidence?

Therefore, Wang Bo entered the military department with a big grue, reported his name and place of origin, etc., and rode out of the city after coming out.

The head of the military department had already revealed the news, and he followed from a distance on horseback, but Wang Bo didn't notice it for a while.

It was getting late, the catchers rushed to the temple, the old catcher quickly took out the iron ruler, and according to the knocking of the temple door, the novice ran over to open the door, and a group of people shouted and broke in.

In the guest room of the independent courtyard, Wang Bo was eating wine in his arms with his arms shirtless, and Ying's hair was combed for days and his face was not washed. His face became scorched, his eyes were red and his face was sad.

Wang Bo opened her clothes, touched the cherries to eat wine and laughed, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, so he quickly hid Ying in the cabinet and locked it, put on a coat and came to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lao Zhu grabbed his chest and shouted: "You thief hid well, let Lao Tzu take it." ”

This is a pun, a common trick used by poor people. If you are guilty or not, you will be directly intimidated first, and often people who are thieves will subconsciously show their feet.

I didn't want Wang Bo to kneel on the ground, and shouted: "Everyone, I have been injured in Wuju for three or four years, this is a local case, and besides, his death is really none of my business, if you let me go, thank you heavily." ”

The catchers were originally testing him, not wanting to make the fake come true, implicating an old case. He said: "People died because of you, and the family did not forgive them, so they issued a wide arrest document from the locality." But the place is the place, and the capital is the capital. If you can thank us again, you will be able to shelter you. ”

Wang Bo Daxi wanted to invite them to talk outside, but they refused to point to the wine and meat on the table and left, so they had to entertain them in the house. The catchers ate and drank unceremoniously, and some people secretly paid attention to him, and kept talking.

Wang Bo told his identity. explained that in the martial arts competition that year, the other martial artists teamed up to consume his strength, and he fell to Sun Shan in his name, so he was angry and found the first martial artist to compete, and picked the other party off the horse with one shot, and fell into serious injury.

For this reason, he suffered a lawsuit, was locked up for a few months, lost money, and was private, and three years later he was admitted to the Wuju people, and he didn't want the other party to be sick for a long time and die in bed.

Wang Bo was afraid that his family would be entangled, and he would report to the official again to delay his future, so he rode a fast horse into Beijing alone.

"It's your bad luck, it's not about us." Lao Zhu quickly picked his teeth and said, "Bring our things, my brothers are numerous, don't send them to Hanako." ”

Another person said: "You said that you accidentally injured Wuju during a private fight, and most people can't listen to your family's words, so you entered Beijing without breaking the matter, you can imagine that you have a ghost in your heart, but it really has nothing to do with our brother." If you want to say that the day after tomorrow is the first try, we will bear a lot of responsibility for you, it is the money related to the future, and maybe it is the money to buy your life. ”

Wang Bo's martial arts are good, but once he softens, he loses his courage, and now he tremblingly took out a hanging box under the bed and said, "All the belongings are here." ”

And when they opened the lock, they saw that there was about three or four hundred gold in it. Wang Bo left a large bag of silver, about forty or fifty taels, and begged: "These are left to be entangled, and the others should be honored to all the masters." ”

If you want to say that the catchers can turn around and leave when they see the money, but once they pay attention to this case, they can't handle it if they don't investigate it clearly; Wang Bo was too generous to make a move again, suspecting that he was still hiding gold and silver, and shouted one after another: "What is this idea enough for?" You can divide a few taels up and down, and then take some out, so that we can let you go. ”

Where does Wang Bo still have money? Hurriedly said: "This time I came out in a hurry, I really only have these, I feel the grace of your life, and there will be heavy thanks in the future, if you don't believe me, I will make a note, and I will send someone to send it when I get home." ”

The leader of the catcher has been speechless, secretly observing the whole room, and found that there are some dirty handkerchiefs and other things on the kang, as a person who has come over, he can probably guess what it is used for, there is a very strange smell in the air, mixed with a faint smell of fat powder and wine and food, etc., there is a woman's wooden comb scattered on the ground, plus two pairs of chopsticks on the table before, which makes a look.

The old catcher quickly said: "That's it, we're not too many people." Glancing at the wardrobe behind him, he deliberately asked: "Keep that plate for you, give some clothes and silk casually, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the other brothers, open it and take a look." ”

At this sentence, Wang Bo, who was talking with a smiling face, suddenly changed his complexion, and only after a long time did he say: "Yes, it's just an empty cabinet, containing some tattered things, and there is no valuable object." ”

"Not necessarily."

The catchers had already seen through his weakness, someone stepped forward to take a look, pushed the cabinet twice with his hand, felt the feeling in his hand was very heavy, nodded slightly, and snapped the knife to cut off the wooden handle of the lock.

The two cabinet doors were opened with both hands, and everyone looked at it together, and sure enough, there was an unkempt living treasure hidden inside, and Da Lang smiled and said, "It's here." ”

The leader of the hunt quickly raised his hand and slapped the table, and shouted: "You escaped from the Yao family?" ”

Ying's hot heart was flustered inside, and the roots of his upper and lower teeth trembled in a daze, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground with fright, nodding silently and covering his face, tears flowing down his fingers.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu grabbed Wang Bo and slapped him hard in the face, "Don't be afraid of him, if you don't tell the truth, you won't be able to live in the hall tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Ying Shi was crying and not speaking, everyone slapped Wang Bo a few times with an iron ruler and shouted: "How did you get out of it?" lest the old men do it. ”

Wang Bo was forced to kneel on the ground, and Ying knelt beside him. So he sent rice noodles and saw the woman sleeping alone in the room, how she raped someone, how she designed to trick her out, and told her from beginning to end.

The catchers all gritted their teeth when they heard it, who doesn't have a wife who doesn't empathize? said angrily: "The women who are good at the people, they are alive in your hands, you should die if you are strong, and the crime of coaxing and escaping is added to the first degree." Now it's okay, it goes without saying that she was humiliated and beaten, she abandoned her husband and fled to commit adultery with someone after the case was closed, and she would be sold by the official after the case was closed, if she was sold to the land of fireworks, she didn't give her this life? ”

At this time, Wang Bo finally realized that he was not here to settle old accounts, and dared to love for Yao Yuan's wife, so he immediately regretted not falling, and immediately refused to tell the truth, never admitting what he said before, and made up his mind that he would not move.

At this time, Xu Hao heard the news out of curiosity, and heard it clearly through the window, Li Dong was about to go in and was shaken by him.

What haven't the officials of Shuntianfu experienced? Insulting women has been the most unpopular since ancient times, let alone abducting other people's wives.

"Such a wicked man, if you don't start beating him, will you say it well? Execution. The leader said angrily. (To be continued......)
