Chapter 44 Section 21

I pretended to obey Chen Sui and said goodbye.In the car, my eyes were full of tears. I didn't expect that I would end up with nothing after tossing and tossing for so long. It was inevitable that I would take the road of usurping prison. When I told Lu Zhong this decision, he was dumbfounded. "There's really no other way!" he asked. "Do you want to do it or not?" I was a little unhappy. He scratched his scalp and said with an embarrassed smile: "Do it, how can I not do it, Chen Tang is my benefactor after all." He swallowed hard, and added: "Although I was at Jingyan Pavilion last time, I Forgive him, I don't owe him any more."

I said unhappily: "Then you don't go, I have already arranged for other brothers, and I have bribed a few prison guards in Ting Wei Prison." Although I was indeed a little unhappy in my heart, but suddenly I don't think I need to implicate him. He just married his wife, just lived a good life, and his wife is just pregnant. Now it's a bit too much for him to do this kind of prison usurpation. He became unhappy: "What do you think of me, Lu Zhong? Am I such a greedy person who fears death? My brother is in trouble, absolutely can't do that—stand by and watch."

At this time, I was thinking in my mind that the family usually keeps some family members and rangers, and there are about a dozen of them in total. In addition to the three-assistant youths I usually make friends with, there are more than 20, and the manpower is basically enough.I have also inspected Tingwei Prison. On the south side of Xiuchengli, Zhicheng Street, I have bribed dozens of wardens there. Although they will be punished for losing prisoners, the money I gave them far exceeds The price they should pay.My only worry now is that I am afraid that something will happen unexpectedly.Although, I have done a lot of things to be buried as traitors, but it is the first time to usurp the court lieutenant and prisoner. If the news leaks, I will die like Yuan Guanghan without a place to die.Although I was entrusted by Zhang Hou, do I have the obligation to work hard for a promise?I suddenly hesitated.

"Brother Zixia, the Chen Sui you mentioned, didn't he value you a lot when he was Jing Zhaoyin? Why did he suddenly turn his back on you now?" Lu Zhong suddenly interrupted my thoughts again. I came back to my senses: "Oh, it's like this. It was when he was Jing Zhaoyin, he once invited me to a banquet. Hearing about me, they all came up to salute me, but he was left out in the cold. He was very upset afterwards and never looked for me again, especially not attending banquets with me." Lu Zhong said enviously: "Brother Zixia, you are really doing well. Hehe, to be honest, saving you back then was the most proud thing in my life. I promise it in the name of Queen Mother of the West."

I shook my head: "Actually, I'm not happy to attend the banquet of these nobles. On the surface, they put on an appearance of respectful corporals, but in fact they just regard us as decorations, and they may not think highly of us in their hearts." Lu Zhongdao: "That's right. But it's better than us iron officials. Even a big-ass petty official dares to bully us." He stretched out a little finger at this point, and seemed to be angry again. There was a stamp on the table: "When will we act?" "What action? It seems to be related to Tingwei, why didn't you inform me." A crisp voice came from behind the curtain.

I was shocked, it turned out that Wanxin was here, and I didn't want her to be involved in this matter, so I hurriedly said: "It's nothing, we'll take 'Tingwei' with us in two days, and we're going to Duling for a fight." .” She sneered and said, "Brother, don't lie to me. Do you think I really don't know anything? Are you going to save Chen Tang?" I pretended to be dazed: "What Chen Tang? I don't know what you mean? Chen Tang is in front of his official, why do you want us to save him?" "I've heard people say that Chen Tang was dismissed from his position as Taiguan Shangshicheng because of his father's funeral. In addition, someone accused him of colluding with a group of thieves, sent him to court prison, and sentenced him to be cut in half. Execution. Isn't it?" Wan Xin turned to Lu Zhong when she said the last sentence.

Lu Zhong scratched his head again, trying to cover it up and said: "Who knows so many things, who is Chen Tang, it's none of my business whether he goes to prison or not." "Hmph, my savior, I really don't look like a strong man for forgetting my savior so quickly." Wan Xin said disdainfully. Lu Zhong was anxious: "I have repaid him before! How can I say that I am not a strong man." As soon as he said the words, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, looked at me in embarrassment, and hesitated to speak. Alas, this simple-minded person, I shook my head helplessly, and said to my sister: "Okay, it's good that you know, we are indeed going to save Chen Tang, why do you have to find out so clearly? You won't I want to go too." I immediately added: "I was not interested in caring about a person like Chen Tang, but before Zhang Hou died, I personally agreed to save him at his bedside. If I don't keep my promise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the ghosts." I was really afraid that my sister would still miss Chen Tang, so I deliberately described Chen Tang's character as extremely bad.

Wan Xin said: "If a gentleman says it, it's hard to chase. Of course I'm going. Anyway, I've learned a little bit of knife and stick since I was a child, why don't I go with my brother, one more person and more strength. " Sure enough, I was furious: "What are you doing, you are a woman, you are powerless, you will only add to my troubles. Stay at home and wait for my good news." I was angry because her reaction just confirmed that It made me faintly worried, I can't imagine that there is such an infatuated woman in the world, so obsessed with a man who is not worth loving at all.

Seeing my sudden stern voice, Wan Xin was frightened. She stayed for a while, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she cried, "If you don't go, you won't go, brother? What's the big deal? " I sighed, and leaned weakly on the bed, staring blankly at the eye-catching crabapple outside the window, a breeze came in from the window lattice, but I didn't feel comfortable at all.
