Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After receiving five hundred coins, Wang Anran breathed a sigh of relief.  Fortunately, I finally have start-up capital. It is really hard-earned. I have spent so much effort on this money.

    With money, other things will be easier to do, the inn can be opened, and the lavender essential oil business can be launched.  In short, with money, there is hope, life can be improved, and status will also be improved.

    Wang Duosun and Mrs. Feng also looked at the large amount of money. This money, no, strictly speaking, this wealth was difficult for them to earn in their lifetime, but their son earned it so easily!

    Wang Duosun murmured: "My ancestors of the Wang family finally showed up, and this time their spirits are really big!"

    Rarely, Mrs. Feng did not argue with him this time about whose ancestor appeared. Instead, she stepped forward, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and said to Wang Anran: "Anran, my mother saved this money for you. Leave it to me."  I¡¯ll give you a wife to use!¡±

    Wang Anran smiled and said: "Okay, mother, you will keep it first, and I will take care of you when I need the money."

    The great monk Zhishan also came over and asked, "Brother, didn't you say that this money was used to cover the Bodhisattva statue with gold paint?" He was puzzled, why was it changed to a wife?

    Wang Anran said: "This little money is not enough to cover the Bodhisattva with gold paint. Don't worry. When I make more money, I will even replace the Bodhisattva statue with a new one for you!"

    Zhishan was overjoyed and said: "Brother, there is no need to change the Bodhisattva statue, but it would be better if we could make a bigger Bodhisattva statue."

    "Then we still have to change it!" Wang Anran smiled and said: "Okay, I will follow you, junior brother."

    Wang Duosun asked curiously: "President, you are obviously older than my son, why do you call him senior brother?"

    Zhishan said loudly: "Senior brother is the eldest, and a virtuous person lives here. Amitabha, good, good, good!"

    While he was talking, he suddenly saw a group of guards coming from a distance. These guards all carried wooden sticks and iron locks in their hands. It looked like they were running in the direction of Jinguang Temple.

    Wang Duosun groaned and said, "Why are there so many official officials here? They are also here to ask for a son?"

    Wang Anran shook his head and said: "It's not like that. Mom and dad, please put the money away quickly. Junior brother, don't be stunned, hurry up and help."

    Shen Dashao has some experience and has seen the world. He suddenly said: "Something is wrong. These officials are here to arrest people. I have seen the way they arrest people before."

    The officers were not slow to run, and they rushed to the front in a short time. They ignored Wang Duosun who was moving money inside, but shouted: "Who is Wang Anran? Is Wang Anran here?"

    Wang Anran was stunned for a moment, are you here to arrest me?  It's really strange. Why do you want to arrest me?  Could it be that after being sent to the government, Guan Shiwen sued me?  That's not right, I didn't do anything at all. Even if you want to arrest me, you shouldn't arrest me!

    Seeing no one answered, the officer shouted again: "Is Wang Anran here? If not, then Master Zhishan, we will be sorry for you. We have been ordered by the governor to arrest him. We must catch him today.  Wang Anran ran away, so I have no choice but to arrest you!"

    "Arresting a poor monk? Well, where do you start with this?" Zhishan was also stupid. He was a monk and had not broken any laws. Why arrest him?

    Wang Anran had no choice but to take a step forward and said: "I am Wang Anran. I wonder if the brothers have any advice? Why don't we go into the temple and talk about it. After I present the vegetarian meal, let's eat something, drink something, and talk slowly"

    The officers were all happy all of a sudden. The leader of the officers said: "Hey, you are really not an ordinary person. You are still talking and laughing at this time What are you talking and laughing about?"

    Wang Anran said: "Talking and laughing happily."

    "Yes, there is chatter and laughter, I wonder why it is not the sound of rain!" the officer laughed.

    "Don't mention it, Wang Anran was so talkative, the menacing momentum of the guards immediately weakened, and they stopped showing off their teeth and claws.

    The leader of the police said: "We are here to arrest you, but you still want to keep food. This is too polite. I have been working as a police officer for many years and have arrested countless people, but this is the first time I meet you like this. It seems that you are not an ordinary person."  !¡±

    "Absolutely average, absolutely average" Wang Anran also said with a smile, but he was relaxed on the surface, but his heart was like a drum. The governor actually sent so many people to arrest him. It was obviously not a trivial matter, but why on earth?

    The leader of the police officer straightened his face and said: "You instigated the people to gather in crowds to cause trouble and even cost lives. The governor ordered me to come and arrest you. You can just come with us!"

    ¡°As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a policeman with an iron chain came forward, hung the iron chain around Wang Anran¡¯s neck, and then pulled Wang Anran away after the arrest was completed.

    Wang Duosun and Feng were anxious. They stepped forward together, pulled the officer's sleeves, and asked, "Master, what's going on?"??Why, why do you want to arrest my son?  "

    Especially Feng, when she saw her son being arrested, she thought of what happened to her family in the past. The Feng family was ransacked by a group of officers and soldiers. She didn¡¯t expect that her son would also be arrested now!

    The leader of the police officer said: "Didn't I just say that? Why are you still asking?"

    Shen Dashao recognized the situation. He quickly took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms, stuffed them into the hands of the officer, and asked: "But Guan Guan's official career is dead? This matter has nothing to do with Wang Anran, why should we arrest him?"

    The leading officer took the money, weighed it in his hand, smiled and lowered his voice and said: "The man named Guan was already dead when he was dragged to the Yamen. The people who dragged him left in a hurry because they were afraid of being sued. After all, it was a human life case.  , we have to check it out, this matter started because of Wang An, and it is normal to bring him to court for questioning. If it really has nothing to do with him, we will let him go, so don¡¯t worry."

    Ordinary people can¡¯t understand what he said. They¡¯ve already locked people up with iron chains. How can they not be worried?  But Shen Dashao understood that this was the official practice of asking questions!

    When arresting criminals in the Zhou Dynasty, the presumption of guilt was implemented, which means that no matter whether the suspect is guilty or innocent, he must be treated as guilty first, that is, he should be arrested first.  Then, after a trial by officials, if you are guilty, you will be sentenced; if you are not guilty, you will be released. This is called to restore your innocence.

    What does it mean to restore your innocence?  Naturally, they took away your innocence from the beginning and said you were guilty when you were not guilty. Only in this way can you take away your innocence. Otherwise, how could there be any repayment?  Isn¡¯t this an inference of guilt?

    Shen Dayao was relieved and asked again: "Is it the Governor's personal trial?"

    The leader of the police force laughed dryly and waved the copper coins in his hand. That means that if you ask too many questions, the money will not be enough.  Shen Dashao touched his arms, but he couldn't take out the money.

    Seeing this, Mrs. Feng quickly entered the temple, took a large amount of money, and stuffed it all into the arms of the chief officer!

    The feat, still the mother's distressed son, is really willing to give money!

    The officers¡¯ eyes widened. This large amount of money was worth more than ten dollars. Almost all of them could get a piece of it. Catching criminals was originally a hard job, but they didn¡¯t expect that they could make a small fortune!

    The leading officer was overjoyed and spoke quickly. He said: "I don't know very well. I should not have tried it, sir, but I have to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives. The governor is upset again, so he may not be able to do the trial in person. He may have to wait."  Don¡¯t talk about it until you come back, sir!¡±

    When Wang Anran heard that there might be a delay, he asked anxiously: "When can Master Beijia come back?"

    Ms. Feng also said anxiously: "But why did he arrest my family An Ran? He didn't do anything!"

    The leader of the police said: "But the incident started because of him. Everyone else has ran away, so we can only ask him!"

    For the sake of Feng's generosity, the officer whispered again: "As long as your son has a witness to prove that he did not do anything, he will be released when he is brought to court. But it is hard to say when he will be brought to court.  "

    There is a bad service next to him: "It is estimated that it won't work today, don't drive, the face of the thorn history has been faulty again, the adult is very upset, how can I feel like I have a mood "

    The leading officer glared at him and told him to shut up, and then ordered his subordinates to take Wang Anran away from Jinguang Temple and return to the Governor's Mansion.

    Wang Duosun and Feng Shi followed closely and went all the way. Shen Dayao stood blankly for a moment, stamped his feet and said: "I have to find someone. This matter needs to be done quickly. How can we understand something that will be clear in the hall?"  There is a reason for procrastination.¡±

    Officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty put things off as long as they could. It was unlikely that a small case would be delayed until next year, but it was very possible for it to be delayed until next month. Even if it was not delayed until next month, it was only delayed until tomorrow. Wang  Won't An Ran have to spend the night in jail tonight?
