    Chapter 2 The First Snow (Part 2)

    "Lie again, lie again! I'll kick you to death, kick you to death!" Wang Xun raised his foot and kicked hard against the cage railing.  "Just wait and die here. If you don't tell the truth, no one will try to fish you out!"

    After scolding him, he quickly lowered his head and asked in an inaudible voice: "How did you get involved with him?! You were arrested by the government, why didn't they come forward to catch you?"

    "Second brother, second brother, help, help!" Yu Wenzhi wailed very cooperatively, as if he was really beaten badly, "I am really wronged, really wronged!" After shouting, he shouted again.  He quickly responded: "My brother is working for the boss behind that man. Can I not listen to that man's orders? The incident happened suddenly. I guess the boss hasn't reacted yet!"

    After Wang Xun heard this, his heart twitched again.  Yu Wenzhi sold himself to join the family just to seek a better future for his half-brother who was an official and to revive the Yuwen family.  Little did he know that less than an hour after he was captured by the police, his brother Yuwende had already swallowed up all the family property and took the opportunity to drive him out.  But he couldn't tell Yu Wenzhi any of this news at the moment.  Lest the other party become discouraged after hearing this and really die in the prison of Wannian County.  After pondering for a while, Wang Xun knelt down again, stretched his hand between the gaps in the wooden fence, grabbed Yu Wenzhi's collar, and shouted sternly: "Okay, okay, okay, you can be tough, okay? Keep being tough.  Really? You¡¯re seeking death anyway, why don¡¯t I kill you first!?¡±

    After saying that, he quickly raised his hand and stuffed a few small silver ingots into Yu Wenzhi's chest, "Hide it well, it may save you some suffering at the critical moment. Don't give it out all at once, remember to keep it flowing!"

    "Second, second brother. Ah, ah, ah" Yu Wenzhi pretended to be unable to breathe, crying and begging for mercy.  Then he lowered his voice and responded quickly, "I have a ledger, hidden under the fourth chicken coop from the left in the backyard of the cockfighting ring. Second brother, help me put it away, it may come in handy!"

    "You're not that stupid yet!" Wang Xun scolded in a very low voice.  He nodded and agreed to Yu Wenzhi's request, and asked him if he had any other instructions.

    Yu Wenzhi took the opportunity to ask Wang Xun to go to his home and ask his brother and sister-in-law not to be too anxious and try not to get involved.  He also asked Wang Xun to send a message to his two maids, asking them to keep an eye on the current accounts to prevent others from taking advantage of the chaos.  Wang Xun felt more and more sad after hearing this, so he braced himself and agreed one by one.

    A quarter of an hour came in a blink of an eye, and before Yu Wen Zhi could finish entrusting the matter in a lengthy manner, Sun Captou's disgusting voice sounded in the dark corridor, "Cousin, the time is up. Come out quickly.  Don¡¯t cause trouble to everyone!¡±

    "Got it!" Wang Xun agreed quickly, reaching out and pressing Yu Wenzhi's shoulder, "Just stay here, you stupid pig. Let's see how long you can be stubborn!"

    "I never did it, I was wronged!" Yuwen Zhi rubbed his neck and cried, half pretending, and the other half speaking from the bottom of his heart.

    Everyone ignored him and followed Capt. Sun out of the prison.  After turning to a quiet place, Wang Xun took out his personal purse, poured out the remaining few small ingots and all the copper coins that were usually used for emergencies, and stuffed them into Captain Sun's sleeves, "Today  I have troubled my cousin about this matter. My friend is a close friend who I have played with since childhood. I also asked my cousin to talk to the brothers in the yamen to save him from suffering these days. Now they  Although the Yuwen family has fallen, it is a tree with deep roots. As long as you can keep him safe, the Yuwen family will inevitably make another generous gift in the future!"

    "Easy to say, easy to say! I'll say hello to the prison boss in a moment and ask him to change your friend to a private room!" Sun Renyu smiled brightly and nodded.  The bottom line is that the capital city's head catcher is well-paid, and one case only brings in dozens of taels of silver.  If we can get a few more cases like this, I can buy a village in the suburbs in a year.

    "If your master insists on torture, please ask the brothers who are in charge of the torture to show their respect. If the money for the soup and medicine to treat his injuries is not enough, I can replenish it at any time!" Lei Wanchun followed from behind and replenished it calmly.  One sentence.

    This man is an expert!  Sun Renyu turned back warily.  The beating boards in the yamen vary in severity. The same forty big boards can beat someone to death or be disabled for life, but they can also make someone stand up without support and walk back to the cell alive and kicking.  Wang Xun didn't know this, so he could only generally ask Sun Renyu to take more care of Yuwen.  However, Lei Wanchun hit the point with one sentence, and people should not be fooled casually.

    Seeing that Sun Renyu's face was wrong, Lei Wanchun smiled and continued: "Brother Sun is a sensible person, so I won't beat around the bush when I say something. I just want to inform all my friends in the yamen, don't accept it."  Temptation, do some short-sighted things. Otherwise, even if the Yuwen family does not come forward, weThunder will not let go of those who strike!  "

    After saying that, he raised his feet and put a hard force on the ground.  Immediately, the bluestone paving the ground fell into pieces.

    Sun Renyu was so frightened that he no longer dared to swear by his words.  He made a bow to Lei Wanchun with both hands, and said in a very low voice: "This old man, with the honor of the little Marquis, can do it conveniently, we will definitely give it to you in the prison little by little."  Friend. But, you don¡¯t know, this case was suppressed from above, and we may not be able to protect your friend here for a few days. He is fine, but he has lost his title, and will be tried by our Wannian County. Several others are on the case.  He was still holding a hereditary title. Yesterday afternoon, as soon as he arrived on the case, he was taken to Dali Temple. It is said that the trial started overnight, and he was so tortured that he lost his humanity. Even when he was a child, he peeped at his sister bathing in Lishan Hot Spring.  Everything has happened!" (Note 1)

    "Hiss!" Wang Xun gasped in shock, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

    "Didn't I just know this? Young Lord Marquis, I'm just a yamen picker, so I can't possibly be too well-informed!" Sun Renyu bowed with a grimace, fearing that Wang Xun would take back the reward he had just given to him.

    Fortunately, the third person who had been silent seemed to be more understanding than Wang Xun and the bearded man. He sighed and whispered: "Don't make it difficult for Sun to arrest him. This matter is indeed beyond his control.  . Captain Sun, we don¡¯t ask you for anything else, as long as we can ensure that brother Yuwen does not die in your Wannian County jail. As for where he will be taken in the future, we will think of another way!"

    "Alas, yes, yes!" Sun Baotou, who had been slandering Zhang Xun just now, bowed to Zhang Xun repeatedly as if he had been granted amnesty.  "Don't worry, eldest brother. I'm here and I promise not to let Brother Yuwen suffer any more in the Wannian County Yamen!"

    "Then I will arrest Laosun!" Zhang Xun returned the favor with meticulous etiquette.

    "Don't dare, don't dare!" Seeing that Zhang Xun was very angry and kept clear order when he spoke and acted, Sun Captou did not dare to underestimate him.  He swore that he would do his best to protect Yu Wenzhi in Wannian County Yamen.

    Zhang Xun and the others had no energy to tangle with the philistines and quickly left the county government office.  I saw the clear sky outside again, but my mood was not clear at all.  This was the first time for Wang Xun to see the most filthy side of Chang'an City, and naturally he could not bear the weight.  Zhang Xun was greatly shaken by the concept of life he had always believed in because the yamen under the emperor's feet was so dirty beyond his imagination.  Only Lei Wanchun, who had seen the most and was the fastest to recover from the blow, took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I finally understand why, Tanhualang, you have been excellent in exams for many years, but you have never been promoted. In your case  Under the rule of , our Qinghe County government office was so poor that even rats could not come. If you were promoted and were in charge of a state, the officials in that state would be poor. If you were in charge of one state, the officials in the same state would not be able to reach out to make money. If you are allowed to  Are you going to become prime minister? Haha, all the officials in the world will have to hang themselves!"

    "Nonsense!" Zhang Xun rolled his eyes at him, unable to refute, and could only pretend that he didn't hear anything.

    "If you can give me an excellent evaluation, you can be regarded as your boss's conscience!" Just after being stimulated, Wang Xun's temper became angry. He sneered a few times, shook his head and commented, "If he is really evil-hearted,  Just write one sentence on Brother Zhang's evaluation, 'Incorruptible but incompetent!', so that Brother Zhang can completely give up any hope of promotion, and serve as a warning to officials all over the world to follow suit!"

    After saying that, I just felt that the sky above my head was pitch black, and I was so depressed that I just wanted to bang my head against a tree.

    As an official of the imperial court, even though he had lost his actual position, Zhang Xun could not let Lei Wanchun and Wang Xun smear his own people. He smiled and changed the topic to Yu Wenzhi's case, "Don't chew it."  The tongue is stuck. It always takes time to resolve the matter, and we can't expect it to happen overnight. Don't worry about it for now, let's find a way to solve Xiao Yuwen's trouble first. Mingyun, who is the shopkeeper surnamed Zhu that Zida mentioned just now? "

    "What other background could there be! Behind him is the brother of the imperial concubine!" Mentioning the person behind Shopkeeper Zhu, Wang Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, "In this capital, 60% of all rare goods shipped from Guangdong Road are  The above are all from Zhu Ji. Without the support of the imperial concubine's brother, who would have the ability to occupy such a large share?"

    "Are you talking about Yang Guozhong?" Zhang Xun's face changed color, "Then the other god has a greater background!"

    "Didn't I just say that?" Wang Xun punched the maple tree on the roadside, causing the red leaves to fly all over the sky. "Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple were both dispatched. The king of Jing Zhaoyin is also the emperor."  Doctor Shi, the Minister of Household Affairs, has just as much power as the imperial concubine¡¯s brother. And who in the entire capital doesn¡¯t know that he and Li Xiang are wearing the same pair of trousers? Hey, I thought I could basically walk sideways in Chang¡¯an City. Now.  It seems that the Wang family, Qin family, and Yuwen family are here.Compared with these three companies, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s nothing!  !  "

    Note 1: Dali Temple, according to the official system of the Tang Dynasty, is responsible for hearing cases related to nobles and senior officials.  Yu Wenzhi was born as a commoner and did not inherit a title, so he could only be regarded as a commoner and was under the jurisdiction of Wannian County.  If Wang Xun were replaced, he might be transferred to Dali Temple.
