Chapter 43(1/2)

When the door of the prison opened, Wan Xiu, who was wearing heavy shackles on both hands, thought that it was the Superintendent Ma who came to confuse himself.

But when he raised his head, he realized that the person who came in was the fifth reincarnation of Changling. He put a plate of meat and pot of wine on the ground, took out two pottery cups requested by the pavilion from his arms, and smiled at Wan Xiu: "Qiu Shi and Jun You were in Changling, but he didn't expect that this was the situation when he saw him again."

Wan Xiu wanted to give in, but because of the shackles, he could only bow his head and say, "Why is the fifth-row official here?"

"I was going to visit Junyou in Maoling, but I happened to pass by Xiliuting."

Wu Lun looked at this little prison. It was so dirty, full of urine. I don’t know how many lice stalks were hidden, but it was the bed where Wan Xiu slept tonight.

Wan Xiu was ashamed: "Wan Xiu is now a prisoner and cannot prepare a banquet to wait for Boyu."

Wu Lun poured a cup of wine and handed it to Wan Xiu: "I just talked to Supervisor Ma outside, but I heard him tell the reason of the matter, and said, "May the murderer be you?"

Wan Xiu looked at the turbid wine in the pottery cup in his hand and shook his head and said, "I am indeed killed by people, so Ma Duyou has thought too much."

The fifth reunion picked up a piece of meat and fed it to the hungry Wan Xiu: "But Supervisor Ma checked the old mother of the deceased. The people in the alley said that Yuan Shu's son Yuan Chu brought people to the door, and you will be there later and protect the mother of the deceased."

Wan Xiu still refused to let go: "Wang Youweng, the county magistrate, and his mother's brother, named Qi Taibo. Qi Taibo is kind to the hero Yuan, and he is despised Wang Youweng, so he is jealous. Then he slandered the county priest and framed Yuan Daxiao. Wang Youweng deserves to die, but his mother is innocent, and the thief also has a saying. I kill his son and protect his mother, so it is so strange."

"I have already told the county magistrate and the county magistrate that all the crimes have been settled. Boyu believed Ma Guiye's words and wanted me to turn over my confession?"

Wu Lun shook his head: "The reason why I am so sure is that although I only meet you twice, I know you are a human being."

Wan Xiu smiled: "What do Boyu know me?"

The fifth reunion said: "I heard that the hero of the original She was called the 'Guo Jie in the current world'. Can Jun You know why Guo Jie died? He was first arrested by the court. His guests not only did not endure the dormant, but instead killed people outside out of resentment. The court officials believed that Guo Jie was a civilian, playing with power fraud, and his disciples killed innocent people indiscriminately for trivial matters. Although Guo Jie claimed that he did not know, this crime was more serious than his own murder, so he sentenced Guo Jie to the crime of great rebellion and innocence."

"When Jun You heard about my Xiaoyi's deeds, he stopped the gentleman sent by Yuan Juxian to assassinate me, and then broke his bow and won the trust, and made a reconciliation with all his might. How could a person who knows the general knowledge of right and wrong in this way make the big mistake that Yuan Juxian would attract attention to the Five Powers and Simings? This is not venting his anger for him, but harming him."

The fifth relationship was analyzed thoroughly, and Wan Xiu pondered.

Wu Lun continued to persuade: "Junyou knows how to deal with him when he arrives in Siming Mansion?"

Wan Xiu laughed: "It's just a death."

The thief killed two people, one of whom was a county lieutenant. Even if he surrendered himself, he would not be able to reduce his crime.

Wu Lun said angrily: "What should you do with your wife and children? They will also be implicated." After hearing Ma Yuan's words, Wan Xiu already had a seven or eight-year-old son.

Wan Xiu closed his eyes: "The hero Yuan will take care of them on my behalf."

"Why do you have to do this?" Di Wulun shook his head and wanted to continue to persuade him.

Perhaps because he was only seen twice, he was sure that he would not kill anyone. Wan Xiu sighed and said, "I'll tell Boyu a story."

He raised his head: "The hero of the Yuan Dynasty is gentle and humble, affectionate and righteous, to revitalize poverty and to do what others are urgent."

"Twenty years ago, the hero Yuan went to the chicken crow in Maoling to attend a banquet. As soon as he entered the room, he heard a shrill cry and went to see it. He found a family in the poorest remote alley. He used the broken mat as the door, and was so poor that he had nothing. The mother at home had just passed away. The young man could only wrap a straw mat and couldn't even afford a funeral. He was only over ten years old and had no other way but to cry."

Speaking of this, Wan Xiu looked worried: "After watching the hero Yuan was silent for a long time, leaving only one sentence, first bathe the deceased and wait for me to return!"

"Then he went to his friend's house for the banquet and sighed, "Your neighbor died and lying on the ground and could not be collected. How could I have the heart to enjoy it? Please remove the banquet!"

"The guests rushed to solve the problems of the Yuan Hero. Yuan Hero sat on the side of the table, cut the slips into a spell, and wrote everything from the tops of the clothes, quilts, and food containing everything. They were handed over to the guests and friends to buy them until the sun was west. They didn't buy them all and returned."

Wan Xiu smiled: "After inspecting Yuan, he came to the house of the deceased with coffins and other objects with everyone, and buried the deceased. He was like a relative of this family, and did not leave until the burial was completed. Yuan, the hero was so anxious and treated others sincerely!"

The fifth reun suddenly realized: "Is that son of the deceased..."

There was a faint tear in Wan Xiu's eyes: "That incompetent boy who was so poor that he lost his mother and was not buried is Wan Xiu!"

He stood up and looked at the fifth reunion, his eyes turned fierce: "Later, someone slandered the hero Yuan and said that he was the 'hero of traitors', so I immediately went to kill the person who said this!"

"After a few years of death, I waited for the establishment of a new office and returned to Maoling after the amnesty of the world. I then joined the army under the Yuan Daxia. It has been ten years since then."

"When hearing this, Boyu still thinks I am innocent?"

But Wu Lun said: "After listening to this story, I think it is not easy for Jun You to change his anxiousness and become so calm in the past few years. I think it is definitely not your killing."

Wan Xiu sat down helplessly: "I never thought that when I was dying, I met a person like Bo Yu. Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth."

He looked solemn: "Although I'm vulgar, I've heard of Nie Zheng's affairs."

"Nie Zheng was favored by Yan Zhongzi. After burying his mother, he resolutely repayed his kindness and assassinated Han Kui. Bai Hong Guanri! He killed many people, finally ruined his face and died of murder.

"I admire Nie Zheng, and Yuan Daxia treats me even more than Yan Zhongzi. I bought a house for me, married a wife, and recommended a Confucian scholar as a master, fulfilling my wish to learn the books of a saint. The fact that all cultivation can be achieved today depends entirely on Yuan Daxia."

"Now the hero Yuan is old, but he only has one son under his knees."

"It's my turn to follow the example of the hero Yuan of that year, and I'm so anxious!"

Speaking of this, it was basically confirmed that Wan Xiu did not kill anyone, but died for Yuan Chu. It's a pity that Yuan Shu had hundreds of people under him, but in the end, only Wan Xiu stood up, or he stopped others and took on the charge with a smile. It really looked like his personality.

Thinking of this, the fifth reunion couldn't help but respect and mourn Wan Xiu. He had misunderstood this person before. It turned out that he was not for the sake of gaining fame, but for a true gentleman.

Wan Xiu was so determined that advice was useless. After pondering, the fifth reunion cut off the knife from his waist and placed it in front of Wan Xiu.

"Jun You, there is actually a way to live without revising your confession."

"Hold me with a knife, threaten the supervisor outside to release you, then drive away and release me when you arrive at the safe place. If you are lucky, you will still be spared."

Wan Xiu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Boyu, I have been a thief, and even I know that if the government encounters a thief, he can kill the hostages together."

"I am a Langguan, not an ordinary hostage." said the Fifth Ren: "What's more, I know Ma Wenyuan, so he shouldn't kill me."

Having said that, Di Wulun was still a little guilty. He didn't know much about Ma Yuan, but he felt that this person was casual in his words and actions, and often made him unable to figure out what Ma Yuan would do next.

Wan Xiu still rejected the bad idea of ​​the fifth reunion: "Boyu should have heard a saying that a gentleman does what he does not do."

"For our gentlemen, reputation is more important than life."

He bent down and pushed back the sword of the fifth reunion: "Even if I die, I will make a powerful bow, not hurt the wise man, and Wanjunyou will have a beginning and an end."

Wan Xiu bowed his head and thanked the fifth reunion for his kindness: "Instead of greed for life and hijacking his confidant, Wan Xiu, who was greedy for life and even killed his confidant, and finally destroyed his reputation!"

...

When a person is about to die, his words are good. The word "confidant" is indeed derived from the heart of cultivation.

This made the fifth reunion feel a lot more emotional. His personality has changed a little since his time travel, and he is not easy to get emotional, but it is not the case today.

Because he actually met a real chivalrous man in this morally degraded world, not the kind of gentle and humble person who was originally a man who was humble and actually had a hidden and murderous person.

"What a pity, it's such a pity. I should have gone to Maoling earlier and made friends with Wan Xiu earlier."

Wu Lun sighed secretly and left the prison, thinking about what else could save Wan Xiu, then he was shocked.

It turned out that Ma Yuan had been standing by the door, holding the hilt of the ring knife in his hand, breathing slightly, and there was no sound at all. At this moment, he smiled and looked at the fifth reunion.

This guy is eavesdropping?

But Ma Yuan walked out a few steps and turned around and said, "If you remember correctly, last time in Changling, Boyu owed me a favor?"

Didn’t Ma Yuan say that he had forgotten it just now? Why did he suddenly remember it again?

The fifth rein cannot understand what Ma Yuan wants, and he should just give in.

"Then I'll pay it back tonight."

Ma Yuan smiled and said, "Can Boyu pay the money? Please drink some of my officials and the people in the pavilion?"

...

An hour later, sitting in the Pavilion Hall, looking at the cups in front of him, Di Wulun said in his heart: "It turns out that only state officials set fire and do not care about the people's lights. It turns out that as long as they become officials, no one cares about the group drinks..."

After Ma Yuan insisted on treating the fifth reunion to others, he shouted in the pavilion: "The fifth reunion invited the wine tonight! It caused a burst of cheers, and the wine stored in the pavilion was emptied.

Of course, the fifth reunion could only pay the money obediently, and he was increasingly puzzled about what Ma Yuan wanted to do. The Ma family of Maoling was a dignified 6,000-stone family. Although he was only a small supervisor, he still had this wine?

It was indeed not bad. During the meal, both the officials and soldiers who were following Ma Yuan and the head of the Ting Chang came to worship Ma and superintendent, but he refused.

"You drink hard, it's okay to get drunk. Seeing this cold winter, you still have to follow me all the way. Ma Yuan will come tonight tonight, don't worry!"

Another person who didn't drink much on the table was the fifth reunion. He thought Ma Yuan's behavior was suspicious and he was careful.

Although Ma Yuan did not drink, he was not idle. At the instigation of the officials and soldiers, the handsome man, who was seven feet and five inches tall, stood up with his beard, came to the hall, and danced a dance for everyone himself.

He learned the dance from the Xiongnu Zahuna in Shangjun, which is quite different from the style of Han local dance. However, he has heard the fifth song, and it is actually the song "Pingling East"!

"Where are pine and cypress trees in the east of Pingling, I don't know who robbed Yi Gong."

"Mr. Jieyi, pay a million taels of money in the high hall."

"It's hard to get two horses away, and I feel sorry for the chasing officials."

"I feel sad and blood is coming out. I'll tell my family to sell yellow calf."

This poem sings the normal state of Guanzhong in the late Han Dynasty. The story takes place in Pingling of Emperor Zhao of Han. It is not far from here. It is not thieves who robbed the family, but rather officials in the government. These people blackmailed good people and made innocent people lose their entire family.

But now, this song is sang from the most criticized and scolded by the public and the most powerful evil official: the Supervisor, which is quite ironic.

But everyone had no judgment until they were drunk, and they sang and danced along with each other without feeling different.

When people arrived, the whole pavilion was in a mess, and everyone slept everywhere, snoring like thunder.

Only two people are still awake.

Ma Yuan walked around the hall, patting this and pushing that, and even kicking it with his feet to make sure that they were all sleeping terribly.

The fifth reunion endured the uncontrollable sleepiness until now, and it was so painful to watch a group of drunkards talking nonsense.

He was considering whether he wanted to tell the Supervisor Ma about Wan Xiu's crime for Yuan Chu, and he also came forward to testify that he might be able to let Wu Weishi Ming let Wan Xiu die? But Wan Junyou's personality might have committed suicide after hearing this, and he couldn't even stop him.

Just as he was about to speak, Ma Yuan called him first.
