Xiangye

Chapter 146

The Xu Yuanyu that Yu Yi spoke of was Xu Yu, that is, Xu Youzhen, the future chief minister of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Yu, styled Yuanyu, named Tianquan.

Yu Yi clasped his hands together: "There are so many people, Amitabha!" He closed his eyes and ignored Gao Wen.

Indeed, he was a majestic man with rich clothes, and Gao Wen was just a young scholar, and there was no friendship between the two parties.The reason why I talked so much with Gao Wen just now was because I saw Xu Xuan's face.

Gao Wen didn't care, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.It's also funny in my heart: Yu Yi, it's strange that you are a murderous, newly ruthless Jin Yiwei who still believes in Buddhism.Hehe, speaking of it, the factory guards are like this, and the eunuchs in the East Factory still worship Yue Fei!That's right, getting the name Yu Yi is very Buddha-nature. There is a saying in Buddhist scriptures: "Subhuti! What do you think, can you see the Tathagata with your body?" "No, World Honored One! You can see the Tathagata without your body .”

Yes, this scene just now was done on purpose by Gao Wen.After breaking up with Xu Yu in Pingliang that day, old man Xu didn't make any promises to Gao Wen, so he sent him away.

Gao Wen didn't know that the reason Master Xu didn't say anything was because he wanted to see the sky.

To be honest, Gao Wen felt uneasy the night after returning home, but he just pretended to be calm in front of Shi Youyi and refused to make her worry.

Until the early morning of the second day, the good news finally arrived.Xu Yu sent a confidant to come over to bring a message to Gao Wen, saying that after going to Xi'an, if there is anything to do, he can go to Jinyiwei Xianyang Qianhu Office Qianhu Yuyi, and he has ordered someone to ride a fast horse to bring a letter to Yu Qian household and so on.

Hearing this, Gao Wen let out a long breath, and his heart that was hanging in the air fell to the ground.It seems that Mr. Xu still couldn't bear the temptation to make big news and become famous all over the world, and decided to intervene in the Shaanxi Mazheng case.With him coming forward, Gao Wen's case was not even worth mentioning before the horse abuse case that swept the entire Shaanxi officialdom.

The reason why Yu Yi was involved in this case and obeyed Xu Yu's order must be because of some benefits from Mr. Xu.Of course, this case also falls under the scope of Jin Yiwei's responsibility, but Qian Hu doesn't look like an upright person, maybe he doesn't have the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor, patriotic and conscientious, right?
As for the deal between Xu and Yu, it is beyond the knowledge of such a small person as Gao Wen.

However, Gao Wen didn't expect Huang Wei and the forces behind him to be so ferocious, they set up an ambush on the way, intending to kill himself and the big eagle and the little eagle, and even involved the White Lotus cultists.

After entering Xi'an City, Gao Wen became more and more uneasy as he thought about it, and felt that he could no longer wait at Daying's house.On the pretext of going to the Xuezheng Yamen to register, and went to a restaurant for dinner, it was delayed for a long time.While eating in the restaurant, Gao Wen pretended to go out, handed Xiaoer a silver coin, left his address, and ordered him to report to the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, asking them to send someone to pick him up.

Going back to the residence after finishing the matter, Gao Wen's premonition was confirmed, and Gong Si actually appeared, bringing a large team of people with him.If it wasn't for Yu Yi's quick arrival, I'm afraid I would have already folded there.

From Gong Si's words, it can be speculated that Da Ying and Xiao Ying were framed and imprisoned after escorting him to the Criminal Division.The movement of this matter is bound to be serious, but Yuan Xinyun can't handle such a small matter. Could it be that there are other important people above him?

It seems that this matter is really a big deal, and I don't know what the future will be like.

While Gao Wen was surprised, he also became depressed.

When he arrived at the Jinyi Thousand Households Office, Yu Yi ignored Gao Wen, and asked someone to take him through the relevant procedures, and then he went directly to the prison and locked him up.

This was the first time that Gao Wen was imprisoned. Even though he knew that Jinyi Qianhusuo and Yu Yi were Xu Xuan's teammates, he was still very uneasy.

Fortunately, the people from Jinyiwei were very polite to Gao Wen. They not only cleaned his cell clean, but also put on new sheets and bedding. They also asked Gao Wen if he needed anything.

Gao Wen took out a piece of silver and handed it over, saying: "I am originally a Pingliang scholar. This time I came to Xi'an to participate in this year's provincial examination. I was troubled to go to my residence to pick up books and the Four Treasures of the Study, so I can study. In addition, if you have food and drink, please Come buy some."

When it was dark, the warrior guarding Gao Wen took Gao Wen's luggage.

After eating, Gawain laid out the books neatly on the bed, lying on the bed relaxedly, and murmured: "It seems that I will be staying here for a while, it's okay, I just need to be quiet, and calm down and think about it." Homework. It's just that I don't know when the case will be resolved. Don't delay the township examination. Otherwise, I will have to wait another three years.

In fact, at this point in the matter, this case was no longer Gao Wen's own business.It involves Xu Yu, Yu Yi, and Yuan Xinyun, the procurator of Shaanxi Province, and there are many big figures who will be dragged into this muddy water.This is beyond Gao Wen's control. Instead of having a headache and worrying about it, it's better to relax and study hard.

In the ancient times when the weak preyed on the strong and there was no law to speak of, small people like Gao Wen tried their best to make things bigger in order to protect themselves, in addition to working hard to improve their class status.

So far, the goal has been achieved.

After a good night's sleep, Gao Wen woke up early the next day, and spent the whole morning robbing Huang Wei and Mei Liang with Zhuang Ding of Meijiazhuang to rob the army and return him to death. The case of the civilian husband was written again, and it was handed over to the guard who guarded him and sent to Yu Yi.

Then I picked up the book and read it slowly, and wrote another stereotyped essay.This work, I feel impetuous and out of standard.Of course, as a novice who has only been exposed to stereotyped essays for a few months, Gao Wen has no standards to speak of.

For the next two days, Gao Wen seemed to have been forgotten and no one asked.After being imprisoned for two days, Gao Wen's mood also calmed down, and the writing of the article became easier.

On this day, he was writing a test post poem with the rhyme of "Shang" in the rhyme of "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds", when a warrior in brocade clothes came in and opened the lock on the prison door with a clatter.

Gao Wen's heart trembled, he didn't look back, and asked with a smile: "But you want me to be brought to the criminal court?"

Li Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Criminal Division has not settled with Yu Qianhu. Mr. Gao, someone has come to visit the prison."

Gao Wen was stunned, but when he looked back, he was surprised and delighted, and stood up suddenly: "Master Taishan, it's you, how did you come here? Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Yu, you're here too. "

That's right, it was Gao Wen's father-in-law Shi Xianzhu and Yu Xingyan from Linlang Bookstore who came. Behind them stood a guy wearing a felt hat and carrying a food box.

Shi Xianzhu suddenly cursed: "Little bastard, you made such a big commotion. The majestic Pingliang court is the chief of the case. Maybe it's my new imperial examination in Shaanxi this year. Once I entered Xi'an, I was sentenced again. Si Zhuo was arrested by Jin Yiwei again. For you, Jin Yiwei’s yamen even killed the person in charge of criminal justice, and filed a lawsuit. You don’t go outside to see what is going on in this city. Now, everyone who comes to Xi’an Scholars who participated in the rural examination all know that there is such an incredible person like you, and you and my future son-in-law, you really give me a face. When I heard that you were locked up here, I immediately came to visit the prison. Little bastard, you committed a crime With such a big event, you still have the mind to read and write essays here?"

Yu Xingyan praised: "Gao Wen, you really have a calm mind!"

Gao Wen thought to himself: I'm so quiet, it's not because I know that Yu Yi belongs to Mr. Xu.You can do the same.

He wasn't angry either, he couldn't stop clapping his hands at Shi Linsheng: "Master Taishan taught you a lesson, by the way, you came to see me this time, but you brought food and drink, it's time for meal, my son-in-law is hungry."

At this time, the guy carrying the food box suddenly knelt down in front of Gao Wen with a plop: "Mr. Gao, can you save my master?" Then he burst into tears.

Gao Wen took a closer look, only to realize that this person was Xiaoying.

He was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Xiaoying up: "Xiaoying, so it was you. Didn't Gongsi say that you had been arrested and imprisoned by the Criminal Division? Why did you go all the way with my father-in-law and Mr. Yu?"

"Gong Si is a bastard who eats inside and out. Fortunately, he was killed by Yu Qianhu, otherwise his dog's head would have been taken two days ago." Xiaoying gritted his teeth: "And Yuan Xinyuan, the dog official, will behead him sooner or later. Level." Xiaoying wiped his tears, choked up and said: "Gao Xianggong, for the sake of Master's protection of you all the way, please save his life. Now, Master and his old man have been placed by Yuan Gouguan He was accused of colluding with the White Lotus Sect and sentenced to beheading, saying that he will be executed after the fall."

Gao Wen was shocked: "Little Ying, don't be so busy crying, just finish it and tell me what happened, how did you master and apprentice get framed that day?"

Xiaoying managed to stop his mourning, and said: "The two masters and apprentices and another brother escorted the bastard Gongsi to report the case. Because this matter involves Yuan Xinyun, this thief is covering the sky with one hand in the Criminal Division. Master and I knew that we had to hide this matter from the dog official. If we go back to the Criminal Division at this time, wouldn't we fall into his clutches? So we kept our minds in mind, thinking that to bring down this beast, we must find a better official Big, someone who can hold him down."

Yu Xingyan and Shi Xianzhu nodded: "You are right to think so."

Xiaoying: "Although the thief Yuan is very powerful, I still have the inspector and deputy envoy to mention the criminal department. The thief colluded with the White Lotus Sect and murdered his colleagues. There are all witnesses and material evidence, and he is not afraid of denying it. So, after my master and I returned to the yamen , and directly asked to see the Chief Inspector. We were also unlucky, but the Inspector was not there that day, saying that we were out on business and we would not be able to come back until later. We had no choice but to wait in the hall. I don’t know why , but leaked the wind..."

Speaking of this, Xiaoying tightly clenched his fists, and his face became pale: "Suddenly, I heard a shout from outside, 'Yunying colluded with the Bailian demon, and took it down', so there was a group of armored men The soldiers rushed in and cut the brother who was escorting us back to the palace four times with one knife, and the leader Huo Ran was that dog official Yuan Xinyun. Master and I knew it was wrong, so we quickly jumped up and fought fiercely with the thieves. Master... Master, he..."

With a hoarse voice, tears welled up in Xiaoying's eyes: "Master, although he is very skilled in martial arts, he overthrew the two thieves in an instant. However, the enemy obviously came prepared, wearing armor, and our knives cut them like scratches. It was itchy. Master could still support me, but I was accidentally thrown to the ground, and I was about to fall into the claws of the devil. I only heard Master yelling, and pulled the two enemies who were pressing on me aside. , and then lifted me from the ground, threw me out of the window, and shouted, "Little Eagle, we have been framed, go, go as far as possible""

"The moment I smashed through the window, I saw Master being stabbed to the ground...Master, it was the apprentice who killed you, the apprentice killed you. If I hadn't dragged you down, with your old man's martial arts skills, if you want to get out of trouble It's not difficult..."

The little eagle covered his face with his hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

Gawain sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "What happened next?"

Xiaoying: "Although my martial arts skills are not good, after all, I have been working in the public office for so many years. If I want to rush out of the yamen, no one can stop me. Besides, no one else knows what happened inside. Things, when I come back to my senses, I have already escaped."

"After I came out, I didn't dare to go home, so I disguised myself and asked my confidants to inquire about it. Only then did I know that Yuan Gouguan falsely accused Master of colluding with the white lotus demon, intending to rebel. He also reported to the procurator and sentenced him to death. At this moment, the verdict has been sent to the capital, and it will only take a month or two to wait for the Ministry of Punishment to execute the execution."

"Traitors are hateful, and the procurator is also confused. Why did he sentence Daying to death without evidence? Isn't that a reckless disregard for human life? Kill this old man with anger, kill this old man with anger!" Shi Xianzhu couldn't help yelling.

Gao Wen said: "Why is there no evidence? Yuan Xinyuan has colluded with the Bailian monster. It is not easy to get evidence to frame Daying?" Gao Wen was secretly startled when he said this.The people of the White Lotus Sect were so powerful that they were able to absorb a fifth-rank imperial official like Yuan Xinyuan. No wonder Tang Saier, the leader of the Shandong White Lotus Bandit, made such a big fuss during the Yongle period, which caused a great shock in the world.

That's not right, Yuan Xinyuan is a good high-ranking official doing it, holding money for embezzlement, having a family and a family, so there is no reason to mix up with the White Lotus Sect and do this kind of beheading business.Things in the world cannot escape the word "benefit". Could it be that the benefits that Bailian taught him were greater than that of a dignified fifth-rank prisoner?

No matter how I look at it, I always feel that something is wrong.

Gao Wen had too little information at hand, so he couldn't figure it out.

That being the case, simply don't think about it.

"Mr. Gao's letter must be true." Xiaoying: "After escaping from the criminal punishment department, I hid outside for two days. I heard that you had entered the Jinyiwei Yamen, so I asked Mr. Shi and Mr. Yu to visit the prison. I also ask Mr. Gao to save my master's life."

When he and his master Daying went to Pingliang, they had already checked Gao Wen's background clearly, and they knew the relationship between Shi Linsheng and Gao Wen.As the person in charge of criminal punishment, it is easy to find out Shi Xianzhu's whereabouts in Xi'an City.

Gao Wen sighed: "Xiaoying, I'm just an ordinary scholar, how can I save your master?"
