The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 747 Chapter 730 Six: Four people intercede to avoid beatings, and two people live in the government office

"My lord, what you said just now is not false at all. It was indeed the four of us who did something wrong last night. The four of us broke the law on a business trip. We were given a slap today. The four of us really didn't have any complaints." .

However, Prince Duan, who do you think is willing to be beaten?

Everyone has seen your methods. If you beat us dozens of times, it is estimated that the four of us will be beaten to death ten times or eight times by the two of you.

You know, the four of us are all wearing that single dress now!
Prince Duan, to be honest, the four of us have regretted it a long time ago, and the four of us hate ourselves to death!
As the saying goes, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing better than goodness!

The Wang family is thousands of years old, and my little six have already made a decision. If you spare me this time, I will not want my salary for this year. I am willing to donate it to the country to increase the income of the national treasury.

Let the country use my meager salary to do some good things for the common people. "

Duan Wuji's face sank when he heard this, and you just stand aside for me.

Duan Wuji looked at the other three people.

"Do you three have something to say?
If you have nothing to say, why don't you come over to lead the fight? "

"Thousands of the Wang family, what the little six son said just now is completely correct! If the lord spares us.

The three of us are also grateful to the adults!

my lord!The three of us have regretted it a long time ago, and from now on, the three of us will also make up our minds and work hard to do our jobs well.

If your lord spares us this time, the three of us will lose this year's salary as well.

my lord!You must stop beating, why do you have to beat us all to death!
If you want us to say, just take the four of us as a fart and let it go.

my lord!We three beg you. "

Ho!The three of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy!

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Since the four of you know your mistake, why don't we take three or four strokes to respond?

Look at how many people are watching the excitement here! "

"The Wang family is thousands of years old! I don't think you should answer this at all. Your hometown has spared you dozens of times, so why bother with that!

Besides, what's so interesting about beating people!

Why don't you, old man, hold your hands high and spare the four of us.

Don't worry, from now on, the four of us will change our minds and become good people through and through! "

"Hey! What are you afraid of if you smoke three times or two? At best, it's just to relieve the itching."

"Thousands of the Wang family, don't make fun of our brothers. The four of us had already relieved the itching last night. How can we just itch?"

When the Handan magistrate saw Duan Wuji, he didn't seem to have the intention of beating the four people anymore.

He also hurried over to smooth things over.

"Thousands of the Wang family, you should spare the four of them today, if they dare to do evil again, you will beat me together.

At that time, if you hit them once, you will hit me three times. You see, this will work.

Today I am willing to vouch for them! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "You four are really lucky!

The magistrate has already given you a guarantee, and it is impossible to beat you again.

The four of you go back and just smile secretly.

However, you four boys must not discredit you adults in the future!

You have to make money for your adults' faces!If you work hard, you may have a chance to be promoted in the future! "

"Thank you for your instruction, the four of us will work hard."

Duan Wuji looked at the prefect of Handan and said: "Let me tell you, magistrate, you have seen so many officials and servants, you should also say a few words to them."

"Well! All right then!

Everyone, the person who was beaten by Prince Duan today is not an outsider, he is my own uncle!

Let's make a statement today, people like him should be beaten.

To be honest, this kind of person will not change if he is beaten lightly!

Only by whipping him hard like just now, can he restrain himself completely!

I am a person who emphasizes fairness and justice the most. Anyone who speaks like him should get the same result as him!

Otherwise, where is the justice?What is the law of heaven!

Well, let me stop here today!Let's break up the meeting! "

Ho!The magistrate of Handan made a generous statement, which seemed to be true.

Duan Wuji felt amused when he heard this!

When Tieniu saw this, he quickly said loudly: "Folks, let's stop here today. You see, it's time for dinner, everyone, go home quickly!"

Seeing that nothing happened, everyone dispersed one after another.

Seeing that everyone had left, Duan Wuji and Tieniu hurriedly turned around and went to the shop.

When the magistrate saw it, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I said, Prince Duan, you see it's getting late, how uncomfortable it is to live in this dilapidated shop!

Let's go, follow us into the city.

When I get to the city, I treat guests, we must have a good communication.

Who is not in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty does not know!Our Lord Duan is versatile, he is a generalist who is proficient in many aspects! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I said, Mr. Zhifu, don't flatter me. I know how much I have. I know it very well!

I don't think we will go there today, you see it will be dark soon, if there is no big event tomorrow, we will arrive at your government office on time in the morning! "

"Well! Since that's the case!
Then tomorrow morning, I will lead the whole government to go out of the city to pick you up.

Prince Duan, since you don't want to go, I will lead these servants back to the city first, I will see you tomorrow. "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"OK then.

Tomorrow morning, the two of us must go to your government office!

After I help you deal with some things, we two brothers can leave.

Mr. Zhifu, let's see you tomorrow! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and his brothers went back to the old shop of the Wang family, and the magistrate also led his men back to the city.

When Duan Wuji returned to the shop, the shop owner walked over.

"Two guest officers, what do you use at night?"

"The two of us are not picky eaters, so you can cook for us if you have anything.

Whatever it is, as long as you're full.

You see, today is such a mess, we didn't even bother to eat at noon! "

"Well, that's fine. Then you go back to your room to rest for a while, and I'll call you when the food is ready."

"OK then."

After speaking, the two went back to the room.

When it was time to light the lamps, the Wang Tang cabinet came to Duan Wuji's room and woke them up.

The two walked out of the room, only to see that the white old man, father and daughter had already walked out of the room.

The four of them had dinner together, and Duan Wuji went back to his room early to rest.

Seeing that there was no one else, Tieniu whispered to the old white-headed father and daughter, "Have you hired the car yet?"

The old white man said: "It's hired, I hired the carriage around noon today, and took us this way, and they only charged me four taels of silver.

Uncle, look how cheap it is. "

"Well, it's good to find the carriage! What's more expensive and less expensive!

Then leave early tomorrow.

It didn't take long for the two of us to go back.

If this is the case, then you should rest early. "

After finishing speaking, the iron cow also returned to his room.

In the morning of the next day, after Duan Wuji and the others got up, they had something to eat, and after paying the bills, they rode straight to Handan City.

The two of them were still a long way away from the prefecture city, and they saw that the prefect of Handan was welcoming them by the roadside with many people.

"Prince Duan, Brother Tieniu, why did you come here! We people have been waiting for you for a long time.

Two adults, let's go!Come with me into town. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu rode on horses, followed the crowd and went straight to the Handan City.

This Handan Fucheng is a thousand-year-old city, and it has been the capital of the Zhao Kingdom since ancient times. The whole city looks solemn and peaceful.

The two people rode on the horses and looked at it, and said in their hearts: This Handan Mansion is well managed. I can see that the society is in order, the streets are constantly flowing, and the shops are next to each other.The whole city is a thriving scene.

As soon as the Handan magistrate saw Duan Wuji's approving eyes, he knew that Prince Duan was quite satisfied with the Handan mansion he governed!

A group of people came to the government office, and some officials who followed the magistrate to meet Duan Wuji and the others left one after another.

The magistrate led the two people straight to the inner house of the government office and walked in.

The family in the mansion had already served the fragrant tea.

The three of them were drinking tea and chatting.

Duan Wuji asked with a smile: "Master Zhifu, even now, I haven't asked your name yet.

What do you call this man? "

"Oh! My surname is Meng, and my name is Meng Haigong. To put it bluntly, I am also a direct descendant of Naya Sheng.

I act according to the principles of Confucius and Mencius, and Wen Xin has never done anything immoral.

Prince Duan, how do you say that the next official is in danger of his life?
Prince Duan, you are not scaremongering, are you?

The Wang family is thousands of years old, to be honest, are you scaring me? "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"I said Governor Meng, the two of us met by chance, we have neither close friends nor feuds, what's the use of scaring you, right?
If you really think that way, even if I broke my promise, it’s okay if I take back my words. "

"Oh! My Wang family is thousands of years old! That's not what I mean!

This person's life is in danger, I dare not believe it!

Prince Duan, all civil and military officials in the court know that you are a prophet who knows the future, and you have the talents of the world!

Now that you see that I am in trouble, then you must have a way to save me!

Chitose of the Wang family, do you have a way to resolve this disaster of mine?

Thousand years old of the Wang family, I beg you, as long as you can help me resolve this disaster, I will be very grateful in the future! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"To resolve your disaster, I have three strategies, all of which can save you from the disaster of beheading!

The worst policy is to resign immediately and leave Handan Mansion quickly.

The middle policy is to transfer out of Hebei immediately through the relationship. The sooner you leave Hebei, the better!

As for the best policy?That is to stay where you are, and still be your magistrate of Handan, but you need to quickly buy your family property, quickly buy grain from the borders of Henan and Shandong, and gather it together. Then you will be of great use!

I see that your uncle's family also has a lot of property, doesn't he always want to get rich!
But the path he took was wrong, if he did that, he would only lose his lifespan!

Once the society is in turmoil, I am afraid that none of your uncle and his family will survive!

Think about it, people who have hatred against him, can they not seek revenge from their family!

Why!How can I say he is good! "

The prefect Meng was taken aback.

"I said Duan Wuye, if you say that, will their family be dead?
To be honest, my uncle was a bit stingy, but he was kind to me, and I often lived in their house when I was young.

I got a lot of help from him.

Prince Duan, you have to save him no matter what.

The Wang family is thousands of years old, you should think of a way again!Otherwise, I really feel sorry for it! "

Saying that, the prefect Meng stood up and knelt down to Duan Wuji.

Duan Wuji hastily stretched out his hand to intervene.

"Master Zhifu, what do you mean! Get up quickly, let's sit down and talk!"

"No! Prince Duan, if you don't promise to save their family, then I will never get up.

When I got up, my uncle and his family were killed.

If you promise to save the lives of their family, then I will get up! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I said, Mr. Zhifu! I have a way, but! Whether the lives of their family can be saved depends on the attitude of their family.

If your uncle is dedicated to goodness, he still has a chance.

If he persists in his obsession, no one can save him. "

"I'm talking about Prince Duan! My uncle is indeed a bit out of touch, but that's it!
As long as you tell me the method, then I will be the master for him.

If I can save the lives of their family, I will do my best no matter what. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Alright then, I'll tell you how!
Let him quickly sell the property at a low price, and quickly hide the family in this prefecture, so that maybe their family can escape this disaster.

However, if he is still stubborn, he will be decapitated sooner or later.

If you have an enlightened mind, maybe you can make a small fortune! "

"The Wang family is a thousand years old, so how can their family make a small fortune?"

"Do you still need to ask this! Let their family follow you!

If you buy food, let their family buy food too!

But what!You tell him that you have the final say on the price of the food, so that their family can be safe!

If he always thinks about driving up prices, he will be decapitated. "

"What? Prince Duan Wu, do you think my Handan Mansion is going to be in chaos!"

Duan Wuji smiled and did not answer.

"Master Zhifu, what do you think? In the end, I'll tell you that no matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere!

Persistence is victory!

do you understand! "

"Yes! Yes! The officer understands."

"Well! Just understand it!
Lord Prefect, let me tell you, heroes are created in troubled times, and the so-called heroes must judge the situation and act according to the situation!

Prefect, you'd better recruit a new batch of soldiers, step up training on the one hand, and increase the height and thickness of this city wall on the other hand!

Let me tell you that the time left for you is more than a month!
If you can do these things well quickly, then you will definitely have a prosperous official career in the future.

If you procrastinate, you may really be in danger of your life. "
