Chapter 50 Extortion
In a single room measuring one zhang square, Wang Xian was sitting behind a desk with a cup of fragrant tea in his hand.

From just now, the corner of his mouth that was grinning silly has not been closed.Fortunately, a curtain divides the public house into two rooms, inside and outside. Although the inside room is small, it is his world alone.Although the outer room is large, there are ten book offices crowded together.

What's more important is that freedom, at least in this public house, he no longer has to look at other people's faces to act.On the contrary, others acted according to his face.He no longer has to serve tea and water to others, but others have to serve him tea and water, just like now...

Wang Xian took a sip of the fragrant tea and couldn't help but secretly wake up, a little complacent, this is wrong.But it's a bitter trick and a alien trick, isn't it just for this moment, and let Xiaosheng be proud for a moment...

So he kept smirking until noon, and when Wu Wei came in to remind him that it was time to eat, Wang Xian closed his mouth and said, "I want to recruit two white servants."

"No problem," Wu Wei thought for a while and said, "Once Li Sheng leaves, his lackeys won't be able to stay any longer, so they just leave the house."

"Okay." Wang Xian got up and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Wu."

"Uh...yes." Wu Wei couldn't help being stunned, he found that some people are really natural leaders, and they don't need to be taught to lead others.

When going to the cafeteria to eat, Wang Xian no longer needed eight people at a table to grab the poor food.Now he eats in the inner room. There are only four people eating at the dining table of the same size, but there are crystal bladders, fried river prawns, fried purple horn leaves, white fish and bracken soup, and a plate of bad shad steamed in red fragrant willow. The bone spurs are fragrant and melt in the mouth.

It is precisely because of the abundance of food that all the officials and pawns can drink wine leisurely and talk in a low voice, which is much more calm than the dining scene outside where swords are drawn and wars are fought.

Wang Xian was greeted by the three seniors in the execution room.Li Guan and the others looked at his green shirt and laughed strangely, which made Wang Xian feel uneasy, so he could only whisper: "Little brother will be the host of Xianhe Tower tomorrow night, I beg the three elder brothers to show respect."

"That's about the same." The official Zang who sent him to be tortured twice said with a smile, "But I guess you don't have any money. How about going for an autumn breeze after dinner?"

"That's good, where are you going?"

"It's very close, just two steps away." Zang Dianli smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, and then let's go find Zhang Mazi."

The other two had amused expressions, obviously they knew exactly what Dianli Zang was going to do.

After eating, Zang Dianli led Wang Xian, first went to the police room to call Zhang Mazi, and then went straight to a family two streets adjacent to the yamen.

Xu Shi was used to coming, and seeing that the gate was concealed, Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi rushed in with Wang Xian without waiting for the gatekeeper to report.

Wang Xian followed behind the two of them, while looking at them secretly marveling, this house doesn't look like anything from the outside, but it's very flamboyant inside, I really don't know what kind of owner it is.

Entering the hall, Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi sat down with a big sword and a golden horse, and called Wang Xian to sit down too.Zhang Mazi then yelled: "Lord Li, Master Li?" After calling twice and no one answered, he angrily said to the two officials: "This Li Sheng really looks down on people, here we come. For a long time, he ignored him and didn't serve tea, why bother with his business!"

"Yes." Zang Dianli also nodded and said: "It's really kind to treat him like a donkey liver and lungs, let's go, we don't care whether he lives or dies."

Wang Xian was still a little uneasy about extorting people's money, but when he heard that this was Li Sheng's family, he immediately regained his energy and watched the performance of the two with great interest.

I saw the two of them got up and walked to the entrance of the hall, and then they heard a cough from behind the screen: "Your Excellency, please stay." Superior.If the difference is too large, a special honorific title is required.

.

Wang Xian turned his head when he heard the sound, only to see an old man with a bowed waist and a bent back turned out from behind the screen.Taking a closer look, this person is not very old, but his face is wrinkled and wrinkled, and his beard and hair are mostly gray.Take a closer look, isn't this the former immediate boss Li Sheng?

"Oh, my lord, why are you so old?" Seeing Li Sheng's sudden aging, Wang Xian couldn't help feeling pity, but then he remembered that it was this guy who was behind the scenes, causing his family to be ruined and almost doomed, so he felt a little sympathy. All gone.He quickly took a step forward, bowed deeply and said, "Did you live happily these days?"

"Ahem..." Li Sheng finally recognized that the boy in the green shirt was Wang Xian.In a way, this kid stepped on his dead body to ascend to the throne.Hearing his gleeful greeting now, Li Sheng almost lost his temper.Turning his head and ignoring him, he said to the other two: "My lords, please sit down, the next thing has bothered you."

"It's nothing at all. I'm a colleague. I should worry about it for you." Zang Dianji said with a sad face: "But there is a reminder every three days in Hangzhou. This time, brother Li must be invited to the inspectorate for questioning. Brothers really There's no way to shirk it anymore."

"Well, the two adults have also seen it. I am seriously ill. I'm afraid I can't bear the boat, so please accommodate me." Li Sheng said in a low voice, his heart full of sadness.Half a month ago, I didn't have to look at these two people directly, but when I left the house, everything was different.

A few days ago, the official Zang Dian and Zhang Mazi came to the door suddenly, saying that He Chang, who was taken to Hangzhou, confessed to some new crimes according to the written notice of the procurator, many of which were related to him, so they were ordered by the procurator. Take him to Hangzhou for a walk, and the Lord Inspector should question him in person.

Li Sheng was in a cold sweat when he heard that, He Chang was his destiny!Because according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", the person who instigates the crime is punished as the head of the crime. If He Chang wants to behead, he will not escape the death penalty!
In fact, it was not unexpected to him that these two people were making up words indiscriminately to deceive him.But when he thought of the "cold face and iron cold" in Hangzhou, he didn't have the courage to take chances at all, so he asked the two of them in a low voice, what should he do?Naturally, Xie Yi, who has one coin per person, is indispensable.

After taking the money, the two changed their faces and said, "Actually, it's not impossible, because Hangzhou doesn't really believe it, so I just ask you to ask the adults. We can help you report a serious illness. You can only leave after you recover. As for when your lord will recover, the brothers have the final say? This has been delayed for a year and a half, and there are many cases in the court, who remembers this case?"

"Good strategy!" Li Sheng praised at that time.

It's just that within a few days, he couldn't praise her anymore.Because these two came over every few days, saying that the superiors were pressing hard, and even sent people to investigate the authenticity, and ordered him to be carried away, trying to scare him.Li Sheng is already frightened, and every time he spends money to eliminate disasters.

Although a few ingots of silver are nothing more than a drop in the bucket to Mr. Li, who has a wealth of wealth, but this happened the next day, and the psychological pressure was too great.More than half of his hair is greyish these days...

"This time there is really no other way." Zhang Mazi took out a ticket from his pocket and said, "Here, the Elder Master has already approved Zhu. If we delay any longer, we will be punished."

"Ah..." Li Sheng looked desperate, but he didn't believe it in his heart.Because he knew that they brought Wang Xian together because they wanted to extort more money, so how could they be willing to cut down their money tree like this?

But who wants to be slaughtered all the time, especially by someone who has killed him? If Guang Zang and Zhang Mazi came, Li Sheng would probably submit obediently, but when he saw Wang Xian, he didn't want to bow his head. He said in a muffled voice, "Since that's the case, I won't embarrass the two of you anymore. Let's set a date and go on the road. I have a clear conscience, and I believe that Zhou Niantai will not wrong a good person..."

Only then did Zhang Mazi and Zang Dianli know that they had already seen through their tricks.A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and they can't do anything about him.

The two looked at Wang Xian apologetically, sorry little brother, I didn't let you see a good show, but saw a joke.

Wang Xian kept silent except for a few words of sarcasm to Li Sheng when he entered the door. Seeing that the two were at a loss for words, he opened his mouth and said, "My lords, Mr. Li is also my old boss. I really can't bear to see him dragging his sick body." I'm going to trial, I dare to discuss it, it's better to delay it for another two days."

"It has been delayed for a long time, what's the point of delaying for another two days?" Zang Dianli was puzzled.

"It's like this. My father wrote from Beijing to say that he was appointed as the inspector of Zhejiang Province to be in charge of the prison, and he will take office soon." Adults will feel much better."

Hearing that Wang Xingye was in charge of prison, Li Sheng's soul almost flew out.Then He Chang is now locked up in the Prison of the Procuratorate. If Wang Xingye goes to be the prison supervisor, the first thing he will do is to interrogate him privately.With the method of surname Wang, what confession can't be obtained?
Thinking of this, Li Sheng said in a trembling voice, "Didn't you say that the history of the Renhe County Classics was granted?"

"Well, man is not as good as God, and the classics and history that have already been ordered, but they are said coldly, 'The classics and history are not good enough, and they are not enough to reward righteous people', so they insisted on asking the Ministry of Officials to redesignate a rank official...the result is fixed A ninth-rank prison officer is not as good as the history of the classics!" Wang Xian said very depressed.

"Ah..." Li Sheng's hands and feet felt weak, and he felt dizzy, so he lost his voice and said, "What should I do?"

"Speaking of which, the autumn decision is still half a month away." Wang Xian sighed: "My father said that he still wants to do activities in Beijing to see if he can change it. He really doesn't want to be a prison manager."

"Yes!" Li Sheng said as if grabbing at straws, "If you want your father to be active in Beijing, you must change it back to the classic history."

"It's a pity that there is no money." Wang Xian sighed again: "I may have to come back to take up the post."

"It doesn't matter, I have it!" Li Sheng hurriedly took out a kit from his sleeve, opened it, and found four or five gold bars inside, and said bluntly, "Take it first, and I'll make it together later, and make a few hundred gold bars." Come out with two silver coins, and make sure your father gets what he wants!"
