Chapter Eleven Night Tour to the Class Room
The matter is so serious that Wang Fulin wishes to find someone immediately, but Cheng Naixuan volunteered to help. ︽Wang Fulin was anxious at this moment and could not refuse Fang's kindness. The shopkeeper of the Ma Family Inn provided the clue that Jin Bao was wiping tears when he went out. He inferred that this little guy who was ignorant of the world was most likely to go to the She County Academy to ask for justice. He immediately asked the shopkeeper to carry a lantern to accompany him, leaving the others in the inn.
However, not long after he and Cheng Naixuan and his servant went out with the shopkeeper, they had already encountered someone blocking the way before they arrived in front of the school gate.
Three yamen runners in the county government offices, Kuaishou specializes in arresting and arresting people. As for street patrols and even guarding in important places, they are the responsibility of the sectarian Min Zhuang. This sectarian Min Zhuang did not disappoint their title. They were all big and round, and they looked powerful at the first glance. However, after yelling with majestic questions, they went up to call a lantern and took a look. The middle-aged man in charge recognized Cheng Naixuan and immediately folded his face with a full smile. The quick change of face was amazing.
"It turns out it's Mr. Cheng. Why are you still leaving outside so late? If someone with no eyes collides, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
Cheng Naixuan glanced at the middle-aged man's followers, and then asked bluntly: "My affairs are self-responsible. Zhao Wu, let me ask you, did a little boy go to the school just now?"
"Little boy?" The middle-aged man was stunned at first, and then said with some uncertainty, "I will take the order to inspect the entire county town, and there are other people responsible for the inspection in this area. However, if someone really runs to the front of the school palace this evening, it must be the night hell. Mr. Cheng might as well give me his name and I will definitely send it back to the house tomorrow."
"Of course I'm anxious!" Wang Fulin stood behind Cheng Naixuan and whispered, "Jinbao is the key to my turnaround tomorrow."
No matter how Wang Fulin thought that Mr. Cheng had caused trouble or showed off his power, he was really enthusiastic at least, not to mention that when he needed others' help, he couldn't keep it in hiding.
Hearing Wang Fulin's words, the eldest son Cheng immediately frowned and said, "I'm so anxious, I can't wait for tomorrow! In this way, you accompany us to the front of the school palace to see. If there is no one, take me to the class room immediately!"
The middle-aged man was immediately embarrassed, but when he thought that the Cheng family was a huge room in the county, he finally gave a few instructions to the followers, asking them to lead the team to patrol the road as usual, and he led the way. When he arrived at the front of the school palace in She County, he saw that it was indeed empty and dark. Although it was just the light of two lanterns, this place that could not be hidden was enough to be fully visible. Even so, he tried his best to persuade him in a low voice: "Mr. Cheng, the place is very dirty, isn't it..."
"Isn't it just a class room? I haven't been there before, so I'll lead the way!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man knew that it was inevitable to take Mr. Cheng to the class room with him. He sighed helplessly and turned to the west. Wang Fulin, who was following behind, saw that the direction was not the same as the county government buildings and other government buildings, was immediately puzzled.
Could it be that the prison cells in She County were built separately?
Mo Xiang followed Cheng Naixuan closely, but the shopkeeper who had never said anything was very good at doing things. He held the lantern and shone the road for Wang Fulin, and whispered: "There are only a limited number of people in the county jail, and they all passed the road in front of the county magistrate. As for other misdemeanors such as committing night, most of them were locked in the room set up by the third yamen runners. That's why Mr. Cheng promised so easily, because since he didn't send it to him, he could get the person out in a complete manner with just one word, at most a few more money."
It’s really a long time to know. It turns out that this room and the official prison cell are different. It was set up by the third yamen runners themselves! No wonder there was a term called private room in later generations, and it turns out that the statute is here!
Wang Fulin heard this kind of secretive trick for the first time, but he was curious that Cheng Naixuan, a young man, could know the existence of the class room. After walking another arrow, the shopkeeper quietly told him that this was called Taoyuanwu. From behind, he went around Huangjiawu and the Majia Inn where he lived, which was very close. He thought that such a good name was paired with such a pickled place, and he couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, from a distance, he could hear a clamor inside, with sobs mixed in between. Although it was not clear from a distance, when he thought of the poor man perhaps Jinbao, he felt anxious and angry.
After the matter is over, I have to let the little guy learn some lessons, so as not to make a decision again!
The so-called class room is just a three-entry courtyard. It has been many years since. The residents on both sides did not know whether it was a taboo or were afraid of causing trouble, so they moved out early. Instead, they were occupied by many white servants. The outside gate was mottled, and the two white servants sat on the stone steps outside chatting. When they saw the middle-aged man bringing people over, they immediately stood up and called Zhao Wu respectfully. The Zhao Wu, who was walking in front, lost the cusp of the humble knees in front of Cheng Naixuan, nodded lightly and asked: "Is there a night boy caught from the front door of the school tonight?"
Mr. Zhao Wu was the head of the squad, so he was named by the magistrate and personally took charge of the inspection work around the surroundings during the Grand Master's visit to the county town. Therefore, when he asked such a small matter, the two guards who were guarding the door were all surprised. After looking at each other for a moment, one of them smiled and said: "About half an hour ago, it seemed that a **-year-old boy was brought back."
After hearing this, Wang Fulin felt relieved. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He was afraid that if Jinbao was not here, the more trouble he faced in the future!
Seeing that Master Zhao Wu turned around and asked, Cheng Naixuan firmly expressed his intention to go in and see with his own eyes. Wang Fulin also hoped to see it with his own eyes. When Master Zhao Wu had no choice but to lead the way, Cheng Naixuan and Mo Xiang followed closely behind without any hesitation. As for the shopkeepers of the Ma Family Inn who were at the end, they carefully avoided the gazes of the white servants, hoping to turn around and not be troubled because they accompanied the two husbands who went to school today to visit the class room.
When he stepped into the yard, Wang Fulin saw several men wearing soapy and blue cloth shirts laughing while drinking and eating vegetables. In front of them, several people with disheveled hair were crawling on the ground, as if they were comparing who was faster. Seeing that someone could not hold on to lie on the ground and gasping for breath, a man who was drinking dropped the wine cup and said, "Get up quickly! I just said that whoever falls in the end will have no food tomorrow!"
Such corporal punishment is extremely light here, just for fun. Master Zhao Wu saw that the Zao Li was having fun and didn't notice him, so he didn't even disturb them. As for Cheng Naixuan, Wang Fulin and others, they would not blindly meddled with other people's business. But when he arrived at the second entrance to the yard, Master Zhao Wu casually asked the boy he had gotten before, but the answer he got shocked him into a cold sweat.
"That little guy? When he was taken, he kept asking to see the Grandmaster. Boss Fei was annoyed and ordered him to tie him back. He was tied up in the house and told him to be honest. If he made trouble again, he would beat him up."
Hearing this, Cheng Naixuan sneered. Although he didn't say anything else, Master Zhao Wu felt a lot of pressure. As for Wang Fulin, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the person had not been beaten. At that moment, Master Zhao Wu did not dare to delay, and did not dare to take the group to the pickled place inside. He persuaded and kept them outside. He hurried in, and soon he slipped out a little guy with one hand.
I saw that Jin Bao had been untied at this moment, his face and body were messy. When he recognized Wang Fulin standing at the last head, his eyes immediately became foggy.
Wang Fulin must have been in a hurry to be found so quickly!
After being put down, he staggered to Wang Fulin, trying to kneel down and admit his mistake, but under the stern look, he just stumbled and called out dad.
The biggest goal today has been achieved. Cheng Naixuan was too lazy to stay in such a class room where light offenders were imprisoned. He thanked Master Zhao Wu very happily. Mo Xiang took out another piece of silver and handed it over. When the group was about to leave, a noise suddenly came from outside. Soon, a few men in soapy green clothes surrounded a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked quite burly and did not have any prisoner's posture. When Master Zhao Wu saw the man, his face changed drastically. He didn't even care about Cheng Naixuan, and he quickly walked up to him. Wang Fulin used his ears and only heard some vague words.
"Let's rest here for a while...the traitors in the five counties...after the storm...the Chen Guard of Huizhou Prefecture..."
He couldn't hear the following words, and saw Master Zhao Wu, the head of the strong team, personally led the way and led the people in. After a while, he came out and bowed in front of Cheng Naixuan and apologized.
"Okay, I know you're busy, so I won't bother you. Send someone to take us back, so you don't have to follow me in person!"
After saying that, when he went to Hengjie, Cheng Naixuan asked Mo Xiang to take more than ten cents and sent the Bai Jun who was called to escort away. Seeing that the person left happily, he turned around and said to Wang Fulin: "Brother, I will prepare to go back tonight. I will definitely try to speak for you tomorrow. I will just say that! I'm still waiting for you to come back after you recover from your injury. Let's be classmates!"
"Brother Cheng, thank you today." Even though Wang Fulin had made up his mind to cut off his robe and break up his righteousness, tonight, thanks to Mr. Cheng's help, and he insisted on working together as if he was begging for nothing. He had no choice but to have a certain orientation and at least his character was good. So after he paused, he said sincerely, "Brother Cheng, please don't act rashly. Since I have found Jinbao back, I am quite sure about tomorrow's affairs."
The two looked at each other for a long time, but in the end, Cheng Naixuan had no choice but to retreat: "Okay, tomorrow the Grand Master will summon She County students to attend together. I will definitely find my friends to help you!"
Next, everyone parted ways. On the way back to the Ma Family Inn with the shopkeeper who was carrying lanterns, Wang Fulin didn't say a word to Jin Bao, so that the latter was full of panic. When he returned to the yard, he found that the sedan chair owner and the villagers in Songmingshan were all waiting for him. Jin Bao felt even more guilty immediately. Wang Fulin ignored Jin Bao and said something to his gang. The gang ran out immediately and took something out soon. He put his sleeve in his hand and went straight into the main hall. Seeing this, Jin Bao quickly followed him in, and as soon as he entered the door, he wanted to admit his mistake, but he only saw the person turning around.
"Stretch your left hand out."
Only then did Jin Bao see clearly that the straight and long wooden ruler was a wooden ruler. He knew that he had almost made a big mistake tonight, so he naturally accepted the blow and punished him. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his left hand. In a moment, the straight shadow suddenly fell, and then there was a sensation of pain in the palm of his hand, followed by the second and third strokes. He had been beaten countless times before, and this pain was nothing at all. He bit his lip and held back. But after just three strokes, Wang Fulin threw the wooden ruler aside, but lit his nose and started to teach a lesson.
"Remember it to me in the future and don't make any decisions! If I hadn't found you in time today, how long would you have to squat in the room? People have said that if you make trouble again, I'll beat you up!"
"Dad...I know I'm wrong." Jin Bao finally explained in a low voice, "I heard the constable Liu on the way to the city say that my father's crime was one more item of purchase of nephew as a slave, so I wanted to ask for the Grand Master Chen Qing..."
"I heard it and told me that I wouldn't have such a false alarm tonight!" Little idiot, this news was originally something I asked Song Bo to help me spread, and I wish everyone knew it!
Wang Fulin was angry and felt more and more that Liu San was disgusting. He was about to continue scolding Jin Bao, but he didn't expect the little guy to whisper a few more words.
"When I was arrested tonight, I heard people say that the Grandmaster was going to examine his father this time, and because someone reported that the county magistrate ordered his father's high ranking during the county examination, the father was the last one in the Dao test. Among them, there was something wrong with the county magistrate and his father."
Wang Fulin was frightened and then became angry. It turned out that this matter was not for him, a young scholar with no family background. He was just a fuse. Otherwise, who would have been full and entrusted with the lord of a county for a young scholar? But now he doesn't care about so much. No matter how others design it, he will only go his own way!
Thinking of this, Wang Fulin sighed, he gently stroked Jin Bao's head, and then said solemnly: "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, discuss with me first and believe me!"
Jin Bao felt that the spicy left hand was no longer painful at all, and nodded heavily with tears in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
