Shimen County former magistrate Wang Yu was released from prison by Wang Dianshi. He was dressed in prison in a mess.
Wang Dianshi said that the house in the backyard of the yamen had been occupied by Zhang Ning's people, so he could only settle Wang Yu in the house where the county yamen officials lived; he also said that Master Liang was waiting in the city and had not left yet.
Wang Yu, who is an official in another place, does not have real estate in Shimen County. The backyard of the county government is where he lives. Now he has a home and cannot go back.
He was listless and depressed, and refused Wang Dianshi's kindness to settle his residence in the county yard, and planned to go out of the yamen to find Master Liang.
Mr. Liang and others are people brought by their hometown and can always help.
Wang Dianshi hurriedly took out a piece of silver from the bag and advised: Don’t laugh at me if you have a little bit of it, why don’t you change your clothes first and then go out?Alas, we are also colleagues. Seeing that the Lord of the Tang has fallen to such a state, everyone is not having a good time... Don’t blame everyone, then Duke Cheng is a powerful man in the dynasty, and he has the power of military power. Who dares to contradict him?In fact, my colleagues have also been kind-hearted to ask for love, but they are so careless. How can Duke Cheng listen to us?
I am just a sinner now, so don’t call me a god.
Wang Yu had a bad tone and did not speak ill of him.
He naturally had no favoritism for Wang Dianshi and his group, and he knew very well about their thoughts of taking the blame for the crime. However, I think the officials were not intentionally harming others, so there was no hatred.
The object of hatred is Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng Guo, and Wang Yu always wants to eat the flesh of this villain raw.
But after anger and hatred, he felt a sense of powerlessness like giving up on himself, because he was a little literati, had no choice but to treat a person who was a Duke.
The first time I felt that I had read the book of sages in vain. It would be better to practice martial arts since I was a child, and I was as capable as a knight in ancient times, and I had the ability to splash blood on five steps...
The hatred of killing the mother and the hatred of taking the wife happens to him at the same time. Anyone with shame will also feel a strong sense of shame.
Wang Yu's voice choked and said: I am a sinner, why should I avoid prison clothes?Say goodbye.
After saying that, he walked towards the door with his long dirty and smelly hair wearing a prison jacket.
After leaving the yamen, Master Liang and several slaves were waiting for him outside, and a certain sedan chair was prepared next to him. Maybe Master Liang got the news through officials or clerks in the yamen.
Mubin, whose surname is Liang Yan, is of course his salary is not poor. Although his salary is paid by the magistrate and his annual salary is no more than 45 taels of silver, they do not rely on their salary to make a living; even if the county magistrate does not blatantly embezzle and accept bribes to make money, normal rules are enough for them to spend.
When Liang Yan and several servants saw Magistrate Wang, they knelt on the ground and cried, extremely sad. On the contrary, Wang Yu only shed a few tears, silently.
Wang Yu stepped forward and helped them up and asked: Mr. Liang has already buried his mother and my wife and children in the soil?
Only an ordinance was set up, and the ashes were enshrined in it, but they had not yet been buried. Because the old slave thought the young master wanted to send the ashes back to his hometown for burial.Liang Yan's choked answer did not affect his smooth speech.
Wang Yu said in a little surprised: Has it been cremated?Did Zhu Yong’s people do it?
Liang Yan nodded, lowered his head and responded yes.
Wang Yu stopped asking more questions, and it was easy to think: Zhu Yong's people just wanted to destroy the corpse and eliminate the evidence.
Although no one is willing to investigate Zhu Yong, it is not a glorious thing after all, so they still have to cover it up.
Originally, the old slave only wanted to rent a house, but the renter knew that we were going to set up a mourning hall, so he was unwilling to rent it out, so he had to buy a house, which was on the east side of County Qian Street.Liang Yan continued.
Wang Yu sighed: I fell into such a field. Mr. Liang has done so much for me because of his life. The friendship has been fulfilled. You can disperse yourself, and there is no way out with me.
Liang Yan knelt down again and said sadly: I have been loyal to the Wang family for decades. What did you do wrong? Why did the young master chase it?
Wang Yu didn't want to explain, it was obvious... he was alone and asked these people to stay and would harm them.He said dejectedly: Take me to the mourning hall first.
The group carried Wang Yu to the house where the mourning hall was set up. The hemp rope and white clothes were ready, so Wang Yu took a bath, changed clothes and wore mourning clothes to go to the mourning hall, saying that he wanted to keep a soul for his mother.
Liang Yan had already cried at the door of the yamen, and his expression had already returned to normal. He whispered to remind him: I am too talkative, but if such a thing happened, the young master should be filial. What should he do should not be to keep a spirit, but to take revenge?
revenge?The look in Wang Yu's eyes is very complicated. Have you figured out a solution?How can we take revenge?
No matter how you take revenge, you will say whether you should take revenge. The young master thinks that this revenge should be avenged?
Liang Yan said that if you are filial, you must avenge the old lady; for righteousness, Gong Yang said, "If your father is not punished, your son will take revenge; if your son does not take revenge, it is not a son." Cheng Guo Duke was cruel and unjust, relying on his powerful and powerful but without a king's law, and determined to kill him is a just act.
The depressed Wang Yu suddenly lost control of his emotions and grabbed Liang Yan hard and said: What should I do, sir, teach me.
Liang Yan said: Now the young master is a criminal in the court. He has no power here and cannot return to his hometown.What you should do now is to meet the third prince of Emperor Jianwen as soon as possible... Let's not say whether this person is the third prince or not, but he has the soldiers who can fight and easily seized three prefectures and counties. Here is the most powerful and capable person in front of him; and Zhu Yong is still in Huguang, and the third prince is dealing with him.The young master can assist the third prince. If he defeats Zhu Yong, we will take revenge.
Wang Yu wiped his tears and said seriously: Can the third prince succeed?
Liang Yan said: I secretly guessed that this person is quite well-organized in military and political affairs, and should be a wise ruler... The Han King, who is far away in Nanjing, is indeed strong, but he definitely doesn't like us; and the third prince has met with the young master and is short of manpower. Although he is now a major general, he is very weak in strength, but we have no choice. This is the only way, and we must not miss this opportunity.
Wang Yu paced back and forth a few steps. Liang Yan knew that he was moved, so he continued to say: As the saying goes, "Tie must fight while it's hot. It was the third prince who personally ordered the young master to be released from prison. We have to see him as soon as possible, so that the position in his heart will be even lighter after a little longer."You don't need to change your clothes, just wear mourning clothes to see him, showing that you are incompatible with Zhu Yong and the court, and you can gain his trust; the reason for seeking a meeting is simple, thank him for saving his life. After all, you may be executed sooner or later in prison, and it was the third prince who let you go.If you are involved in kindness, your personal relationship will become even closer.
After thinking about it, Wang Yu accepted Liang Yan's suggestion.
After being sad, Wang Yu had to face many problems. Not to mention revenge, the survival of himself and his group of people was a big problem and was facing disbandment; if he really invested in Zhang Ning, he could solve many problems.
He and Liang Yan immediately left the door.I just came out of the county government not long ago and now I am back.
The people in the yamen naturally knew the magistrate, and first brought them out of the lobby, and then went to inform them.Sure enough, news came soon, and Zhang Ning asked him to go to the signing room to meet.
Zhang Ning’s current office is still in the signing room and has been arranged.
He likes to go to familiar places. For example, he is used to eating in a restaurant and rarely goes to other places. Last time he stayed in the Shimen County signing room for many days, so naturally this time it was here.
However, this time he came out of the mountain, Shimen County was not the central area he chose. This time he was interested in Cili County, because it was closer to the mountainous area in the western part of Huguang, which was an activity area that warded off the cult, and it was closer to Yongdingwei, his must-see place.
Stopped in Shimen County just waiting for news that Wei Bin captured Lizhou; he did not go to Lizhou in the end.
When Wang Yu entered the signing room, Zhang Ning saw many notes on the wall behind the chair, just like last time.
Zhang Ning looked up and saw that Wang Yu and his staff were wearing mourning clothes. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
Wang Yu walked over and knelt down in front of the case, saying, "The sinner Wang Yu thanks His Highness for saving you."
Please get up quickly. Magistrate Wang is so serious... Zhang Ning hurriedly got up and made a helping move.
He really didn't think he was a benefactor. If he hadn't broken through Shimen County, the magistrate Wang would have been a good official, so what kind of kindness would he have?
However, he didn't feel that he had any personal grudges with Wang Yu. For example, when the two countries were at war, the defeated general went back and was killed, could he blame the other party for doing something wrong?
Each of them has their own masters, not people from the same camp, so there is no question of grudges.
Don't be out of sight, sit down and talk.
After Zhang Ning thought about it, he looked up and down at the filial clothes on the two of them. When Magistrate Wang gathered troops to defend the city, but although he did not defend the city, he also fulfilled his responsibilities for the court. He was guilty of losing the city and losing land. However, Zhu Yong could not kill innocent people without judicial case, and should not have harmed Magistrate Wang's family. It was indeed too arrogant and cruel and unkind.
Wang Yu said: I just wish I could kill this thief; the court even indulged in the law of the powerful and the nobles, which made the hearts of the ministers disappointed!
Zhang Ning nodded slightly, not only expressing his approval of Wang Yu's words, but also gave this guy a high-profile look: Speaking of personal grudges, don't forget to add a sentence that the court is heartbroken, which is a very accurate statement.
This guy's wife was raped and then killed by someone, and her biological mother was killed. Such a tragic thing happened to her, which was even more shameful and could face reality clearly...
Zhang Ning felt that if he unfortunately encountered such a thing, he might not be able to do this level.
I wonder what County Magistrate Wang plans in the future, but he wants to find Zhu Yong to take revenge?Zhang Ning asked.
Wang Yu said: This thief holds military power and has a high position and a powerful position. I have the intention to kill thieves but no power to kill thieves, so I have to keep it in my heart and seek an opportunity to take revenge.A gentleman takes revenge for no more than ten years, and deep hatred will always be a day when he gets snow.Now... if the third prince does not abandon him, I am willing to follow him to serve the work of the dog and horse.
Wang Dianshi said that the house in the backyard of the yamen had been occupied by Zhang Ning's people, so he could only settle Wang Yu in the house where the county yamen officials lived; he also said that Master Liang was waiting in the city and had not left yet.
Wang Yu, who is an official in another place, does not have real estate in Shimen County. The backyard of the county government is where he lives. Now he has a home and cannot go back.
