Late Tang

Chapter 8

The yellow beard pointed out a way out for Li Jing, which was actually a very simple sentence, but it explained Li Jing's current situation in one sentence.

In Huang Huzi's words, Li Jing was brought into this prison because he offended someone. According to what Li Jing said just now, the biggest possibility is that Wang Liang is playing tricks inside.And although Li Jing was sentenced to be a prisoner now, it doesn't mean that there is no way out.

The yellow beard told Li Jing with a playful smile, if the fat man really wanted Li Jing's life, then there was no need to impose a higher crime or be sentenced to be hanged.The sixty sticks for catching carp, as long as the fat man taps them up and down, they can directly kill Li Jing's sticks, and there is nothing to say afterwards.But now, although Li Jing deserved the death penalty of being hanged, he didn't even receive a stick. What does this mean?

Li Jing is not a fool, he immediately understood from the yellow beard's smile.It may be because of Wang Liang that the treasury official took him suddenly.But Zhang Fat has no grievances with him in the past, and has no vendettas in recent days, so there is no need to help a follower to take his life.All of this, to put it bluntly, must be due to interests.Wang Liang murdered him for revenge, but Fatty Zhang murdered him definitely because he wanted to plot his money.

There are two mouths for official characters, and eight characters for yamen.Li Jing entered this death row, not because Fatty Zhang could manipulate him however he wanted, to put it bluntly, Fatty Zhang was so smart, just to blackmail Li Jing for a sum of money.

"Hurry up and ask someone to ask your family to give that fat man a sum of money, and the matter will be settled." Yellow Beard lay on the pile of straw, and two of his subordinates graciously helped him hammer his legs.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your guidance. If there is anything I need to do, please tell me directly."

"No need for now, let's talk about it later, I see that you are full of heaven and earth, you are a blessed face, and you won't die so easily. In the future, I will use you, as long as you don't forget today That's fine." The yellow beard squinted and smiled.

Cui Zhenjiang from Chishan Town is a rough man, but he prefers to play Go.Although Cui Zhen's shogi is not very good, it has driven the entire Chishan Town officials to start thinking about playing Go.Zhang Kuguan is the cheap brother-in-law of Cui Zhenjiang, so naturally he would not take this opportunity to please Cui Zhenjiang.Although Zhang Ku is a small official, he is a serious scholar.He knew how to play chess before, and now that he studies it specially, his chess skills have improved greatly, and his strength can be regarded as one of the best in Chishan Town.But Fatty Zhang is smart, and if he usually has the opportunity to play chess with his bosses, he will never win.Not only can you not win, but you have to use hard work to make your boss go through a lot of hardships before finally winning.Because of this move, Fatty Zhang is doing well in Chishan Town.

Fatty Zhang huddled in the room alone and wrote the score. When he thought of Ma Youneng's [-] mu of land, his mind became active, and an irresistible smile appeared on his face.Wang Liang's voice came from outside the door, and without raising his head, he said, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Wang Liang came in bending over.Fatty Zhang pressed a white stone, signaling Wang Liang to come forward.

"How about it, how does the Li family express?"

Wang Liang pretended to be a little disturbed and said: "Master, the Li family's foolish women refused to give up their ancestral property at first. After a little lobbying, they finally persuaded them. Together with the ten acres of mulberry fields, honor the high officials."

After Zhang Hong heard this, his eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth parted, and he smiled with all his white teeth: "Okay, this matter is done well. Originally, I thought it would take a little effort, but I didn't expect you to do it so quickly." Alright. I won't treat you badly, and I will reward you with five acres of mulberry fields. You should also handle the handover of the fields together. By the way, you can go to Wang Tuiguan again and extract Li Jing's official documents. Come back. Let the other Li Jing go."

"The little one will do it right away, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Senior official, Li Jing studied since he was a child. He had received letters of recommendation from the prefectures and counties and obtained the qualifications of the township tribute to participate in the imperial examination. Later, he didn't participate because of the death of his eldest brother in the family. This person is capable of literary and martial arts, and he is not a simple person. It's easy to let him go now. I'm afraid that he will resent the officials. What if he takes part in the imperial examination in the future and is a Jinshi and awarded an official? I'm afraid that he will be bad for the officials. If he talks nonsense, It will inevitably have a bad influence on the adults, and it will damage the reputation." Wang Liang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Zhang Hong wanted to let Li Jing go so easily.

Fatty Zhang is an official, so Li Jing can't do anything to him.But he is just a follower. After Li Jing left, he saw that the ancestral property was gone, so don't blame him then.Even now, he can't forget the last look Li Jing met with him, and when he thinks about it, he can't help feeling flustered.

Liang Zi has already formed, so Li Jing must not be let off so easily.

This time he plotted against the Li family, Zhang Kuguan took [-] mu of land, but under the banner of Zhang Kuguan, he took [-] mu of land including his own [-] mu of land.Excluding his own family's land, after handing over the [-] mu of land to Zhang Kuguan, the [-] mu of Wang Blacksmith's house will become his land.How could he send back the land that he took such a big risk to get back.

Zhang Hong held a sunspot for a long time and couldn't let it fall, he sucked in his breath and said, "But I only want to make money, but I don't want to hurt people's lives and harm Yin's morality. This matter can't be done forever."

Seeing that Fatty Zhang was hesitant, Wang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "The officials don't need his life, we can sentence him to exile. The four places of exile by the imperial court are Fangxian County in the east of Shannan, Yazhou in Hainan, and Yazhou in Hainan. Fengzhou in Guannei Road, Yizhou in the east of Longyou Road, these four places of exile, the officials choose one of them to exile Li Jing, this kid will never come back for the rest of his life, so it is naturally impossible to affect adults."

"That's a way."

"Officer, there is only one man left in the Li family. Li Jing will be exiled, and there will be a few widows left in the Li family, so there is no need to worry about anything. This is a solution once and for all."

"Well, you can take two altars of good wine to Wang Tui's mansion in a while, tell him about the matter, and let him change Li Jing's sentence to be exiled for three thousand miles, and go to Yizhou. That's the Zhang family. The sky is high, the emperor is far away, and it is close to Huihe and Tubo, Li Jing will never come back after going there."

"Yes, the little one will do it right away."

After Wang Liang went to Wang Tuiguan to correct the judgment, he made up his mind.I went back to Wangli Village early the next morning. First, I found Lizheng Village as a guarantor to notarize the [-] mu of land owned by the Li family, the [-] mu of land owned by Wang Blacksmith's family and Wang Liang's own family. Passed the account and signed the formalities.

Seeing that Wang Liang really saved his [-] acres of land to the Li family, Mrs. Han felt very grateful to Wang Liang's family.

When the women of the Han family returned home, they were about to go to the town to welcome Li Jing back, but they didn't expect that the horse matchmaker who hadn't been here for a long time came to the door first.As soon as Matchmaker Ma entered the door, she straightforwardly explained the reason.She came today to hold the red line for Wang and Li's family.

"You said you came to matchmaking with the fourth girl of my family on behalf of Wang Liang?" Han asked in surprise.

"It's more than that. It's really a good thing. It's the right thing to do. Today, I'm not only here to lead the red thread for the second lady of the Wang family and the fourth lady of the Li family, but also for the third lady of the Wang family and Sanlang of your family." He came here. I heard that something happened to Saburo in your family this time, and the Wang family gave you all [-] acres of land without saying a word. You see, your two families have been friends for generations, and now the two Wouldn’t the two happy events of the family be the best of the best. It just so happens that Saburo of your family is coming back, and this marriage just coincides with bad luck.” The matchmaker Ma said it was a wild flower, but Han and the others Said he was stunned there.

No one thought that the Wang family would bring up the past at this juncture.They not only mentioned the marriage between Wang Liang and Wan Jing, but also brought up the marriage between Saburo and Wang's younger sister.For a while, the Han family was a little stunned. It stands to reason that the Wang family's handling of this matter seemed to be half-coercive.But on the other hand, the Wang family just took [-] mu of their own land to help the Li family's emergency, and if they propose marriage at this time, how can the Li family refuse.

The sister-in-law said anxiously: "Why does this aunt of the Wang family do things like this?"

At this time, Wanjing took the initiative and said: "Aniang, sister-in-law, aunt of the Ma family, you go and reply to the Wang family, and say that the slave and the Wang family have agreed to this marriage."

Mrs. Han sighed: "Auntie Ma, marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The Wang family doesn't think our Li family is in trouble, and they still think of this old relationship to propose marriage. Now that the fourth sister has agreed, it is natural for her to be old. There is no problem. As for the marriage between my family Erlang and the young lady of the Wang family, I also agreed. Go and tell the Wang family."

Seeing that the matter went so smoothly, the horse matchmaker couldn't help being a little surprised, and ran to the Wang family with a smile on her face to announce the good news.
