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

Chapter 952 940 One and Two People Visit Sun Tiansheng in Prison
As the two walked home, Tieniu asked, "I said brother, can you find three or five people in this month?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "If you can find it, if you can't find it, who dares to say?

But starting tomorrow, let's start looking.

This month is neither short nor short, nor long.

Don't we live up to the second brother's hope and let the second brother say that we are not doing well.

When I get home, I'll think about it and see where we start looking. "

"Well, that's fine! Then let's see you tomorrow morning.

I'll go find you after breakfast tomorrow, let's have a good discussion with each other! "

As soon as Duan Wuji arrived at home, he was drinking tea while thinking about the task assigned by the emperor.

During dinner, Princess Mingzhu asked Duan Wuji: "I said, the head of the family, what can my brother want from you?"

"The emperor asked me to find some people who went west with the holy monk. These people must have certain abilities. That's how things are."

Princess Pearl smiled sweetly.

"Isn't it easy to find a few people? I don't think it will take a few days to find them."

Duan Wuji rolled his eyelids.

"It's not as simple as you think! This trip to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, it may take many years to come back. It is quite difficult to live and sleep on the road. Who has a family and a job is willing to do this?

As long as those capable people live a pretty good life, if you want them to go west with a monk, who would want to go?

I dare not say whether I can come back from learning the scriptures?
Even if they can come back, it will be a matter of the year of the monkey.

Do you think there is any capable person who is willing to leave his family and career to do this.

In my opinion, it is really not an easy task to find such a person! "

After hearing what Duan Wuji said, Princess Mingzhu stopped talking.

"Husband, don't think about these troublesome things, let's go, let's go to sleep.

For so many days, we haven't made out together yet.

It is said that good nights are short, but I don't think this matter can be faked at all. "

Duan Wuji smiled helplessly.

"I just got home, so you can find me a job!"

Princess Pearl smiled when she heard this.

"I said Husband, don't complain nonsense, it's a good thing to have beautiful women in your arms, isn't it?

If you keep messing with ink here, I'll be really angry. "

Duan Wuji hugged Princess Pearl.

"My little baby, why are you angry? Then let's go!
Anyway, the two of us have one child, which is a little less, and we should have two more children.

Let me tell you some good news, your sister Jinhua is pregnant again. "

After hearing this, Princess Mingzhu lightly thumped Duan Wuji's back twice.

"That's still true! You see that you worked so hard in your hometown, why do you want to push back when you get home now.

Work harder, the two of us have to have five or six children, so that the family will be lively! "

The next morning, Duan Wuji had breakfast, and Tie Niu came over early.

"I said brother, have you figured it out? Where are we two brothers going to start looking for it today?"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I thought about it when I got home, if we want to find the right candidate, let's find the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment first!

See if there are any death row inmates in our country's prisons.

If there is a death row prisoner, we can choose a few people for him, wouldn't that be enough? "

"Oh, my brother! How dare you think.

The person who accompanied the holy monk to the west, you actually want to find it from the condemned prisoners.

Once you let the emperor know, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be angry? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I said brother Tieniu, the emperor didn't tell us not to look for that kind of person.

The two of us brothers will just find him for him. If we get together early, we will have nothing to do with us.

To be honest, it is really not easy to find a few people who satisfy the emperor.

As the holy monk went west, the journey was full of hardships, and it may take many years to come back.

You said those capable people, who would do this drudgery? "

"Well, what you said makes sense, since that's the case, let's go now.

Let's go to the Criminal Ministry to check the files now to see if there is any suitable candidate among these people! "

The two of them walked out of the gate of the mansion and walked straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

When I arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I saw four soldiers with knives standing on one side of the gate. It was quite majestic!

As soon as the two of them climbed the steps, a soldier reached out and stopped them both.

"Hey, I said, what do you two do? Why don't you even say hello and barge in!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I'm looking for your lord who is in charge of the Xing Department, you go in and inform me!
Just say Duan Wuji, the prince of Xiaoyao, and General Duan Tieniu came to visit. "

As soon as the gatekeeper heard that it was these two people, he quickly knelt down on one leg and saluted.

"I turned out to be two adults! The villain has poor eyesight, and Lord Wanwang atones for his sins."

In the capital city, when these two people are mentioned, there are really not many people who don't know.

Duan Wuji waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, don't salute, go in and report!"

Not long after, the Minister of the Ministry of Xing and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment greeted him from inside.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, came to our yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice today, what's the matter?

Let's go, please come inside quickly! "

The two followed the Minister of the Ministry of Justice into the hall, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice immediately ordered someone to bring up the fragrant tea.

"I said Prince Duan, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Duan Wuji said with a chuckle: "Bring up the list of all the serious criminals here, and tell us all the crimes they committed.

We're going to find a guy or two in there. "

"I said Prince Duan, what is the name of the person you are looking for?

If you tell us your name, we can look through the files for you! "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Don't ask about this matter, you just report all the criminal files, and we will hear what crimes they have committed one by one.

Then I'll know if there's anyone we're looking for. "

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice laughed and said, "There are thousands of these people. Let us report them to you one by one. When will we hold them?"

After hearing this, Tieniu quickly said: "When is the report counted!

Anyway, we brothers have plenty of time, so when the time comes, wouldn’t it be enough for two or three masters to read together?

Did our two brothers come over to cause trouble for you?If you think it's troublesome, then we brothers can look through the files by ourselves. "

"Hey, I said General Duan, where did you say you went?

Is this troublesome or not?Isn't it just a waste of time?What's so great about it?

I immediately arranged for people to bring out the file for you, and I asked the two main bloggers to read it to you, and you just listened by the side.

At noon, the two of us invite you two adults to dinner, you don't often come to our yamen, you are a distinguished guest once you come! "

In a short time, several master books brought out all the materials, and then the two master books began to read these materials to Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

How old is each person, male or female?What crime?It is clearly recorded in the information.

These people committed various crimes, some for theft, some for adultery, some for robbery, and some for treason.

Since the crimes are different, the crimes committed are also different.

The two listened slowly, looking for someone they could use.

Duan Wuji stood up abruptly when the main culprit named Sun Tiansheng came to mind.

"I said Master Bo, was this man surnamed Sun arrested for stealing things from the palace! This sentence is to be beheaded after autumn.

Bring me this prisoner out of prison, I want to see this man. "

The Xingbu Shangshu was taken aback for a moment.

"I said, Prince Duan, you don't know something! This kid is very powerful, he can fly over the roof and walk over walls, and has the ability to go up and down.

He uses a large iron rod very powerfully. This man is simply a murderer. When you meet him later, you have to be extra careful. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"What's the matter! He's a criminal now, don't all criminals wear chains?

Besides, he's amazing, so it's so difficult that our brothers aren't amazing?
If you two feel timid, then hide away from me, we brothers are not afraid of him. "

The minister of the Ministry of punishment grinned when he heard this.

"I said Prince Duan, I just remind you two that you two are not afraid of him, neither of us are afraid of him.

To be honest, the two of us used to be generals in the army, and later we became ministers of the Ministry of punishment and servants of the Ministry of punishment because of our military exploits.

If you two are not afraid of him, then we two are not afraid of him either. Bring us the criminal surnamed Sun! "

Several guards heard this, and immediately ran to the prison, and brought up the big thief surnamed Sun.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu took a closer look, and saw that this man was 23 or [-] years old, tall and slender.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Sun, how old are you this year?"

"Grandpa, how many times have I told you that I am 23 years old."

Tie Niu slapped the table.

"What's your name? Hurry up and give us your name."

"Grandpa, my surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Tiansheng."

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I said Sun Tiansheng, do you dare to steal things from the palace?

Are you courting death? "

Sun Tiansheng shook his head.

"My grandma's has a bowl-sized scar on her head, grandpa and I are unlucky.

When I entered the palace, I only stole a hundred and ten taels of silver. I saw a few jars of good wine in the palace. Because I was greedy, I got drunk like his grandma.

Otherwise, those guards would not be able to catch me at all. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said, Sun Tiansheng, since you can sneak into the palace, you must be capable.

Since you are a capable person, why do you do such a dirty trick? "

Sun Tiansheng was taken aback.

"What's the use of mere ability? Didn't I let poverty force me? If I had a rich family, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't do that.

well!It's too late to say anything now, I'm just trying to survive for more than half a year, and I'll be reincarnated in autumn.

His grandma, I am a dead star!

Not only did I cheat myself, but I also cheated my parents, letting them raise me for nothing.

This is really a man who commits a crime and has no legal body!What's the use of saying this now? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I said the surname is Sun, tell me, how did you enter the palace?"

"What's there to hide? After the third watch, I climbed up the city wall from outside the imperial city. Although the city wall was very high, he couldn't stop me.

Entering the palace is a piece of cake for me. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said how is your martial arts?"

"Does it need to be said? If I say that I am the second, no one would dare to say that I am the first."

Duan Wuji stood up abruptly.

"I said Sun Tiansheng, don't brag, or else.

How will we compare to the last game in a few days? "

"Compared to the last game, compared to the last game, what's so great about it?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "We have agreed, if you are good at martial arts, then I will intercede with the emperor and you will not die!

It's just that the death penalty can be forgiven, and the living crime will not be forgiven. Do you understand? "

"The death penalty can be forgiven, but the living crime will not be forgiven. What does this mean?"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "It's a secret for you now, but you have to rest well, we will have a martial arts competition in three days, you have to take this matter seriously.

This is your only hope of survival. If you don't show me something real, don't say I won't save you when the time comes. "

"Okay, I will listen to you."

Duan Wuji took out 20 taels of silver and put it on the table.

"I said Master Shangshu, this is 20 taels of Wenyin, you can ask the jailer to buy him some delicious food to nourish his body!
I don't want to compete in martial arts with a man covered in bruises. If the guards in the prison dare to blackmail my money, don't blame me for being ruthless. "

The Master Shangshu laughed when he heard that.

"Prince Duan, don't worry, even if you don't say that, they won't dare to measure the prison guards!

If they even dare to blackmail your money, if they blackmail you for one tael, I will make him pay 100 taels of silver. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said Master Shangshu, since that's the case, then we two brothers will leave, and remember that we will definitely come over in three to five days.

As long as this Sun Tiansheng eats and drinks well, then let him say that he is not strong enough to defeat. "

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment nodded his head.

"Chitose Wang, we understand what you mean.

After a while, I told the jailer not to torture him for the next few days, let him cultivate well, so that he can compete with you when the time comes.

I said the boy surnamed Sun, I don't know what sinful virtues your ancestors have accumulated.

You kid still have a chance!

Come on!Give him to me or send him back to prison. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu bid farewell to the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and ran straight towards the imperial city.
