Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 267 Persuasion in Prison
On the seventh day of April in the eighth year of Taichang (539), in the early morning, the red sun hangs high.

Outside the gate of Zhongshu provincial government office, a notice was posted, listing the names of the three common people.

The bustling crowd was clamoring for Cui Shan's eardrums, but he turned a deaf ear to it and just stared at the first place of his name in the classics section, trembling all over.

The answer sheets of the top three in each subject were transcribed and posted in full for others to comment on to show fairness. Wang Xi read the full text of Cui Shan, and his dissatisfaction with being ranked second dissipated somewhat.

Although he didn't think Cui Shan's strategy was better than his own, but the other party did have real talents and learning, and he could only say that there is nothing in vain under the prestigious name.

Zu Ting, who was only ranked tenth, was dissatisfied. In his opinion, his strategy and theory were not inferior to any of the top three, but the results had already been announced. He had worked in Jinyang, and he knew the rules well. It wasn't noisy.

Chen Yuankang recommended several times in Jinyang but was not summoned by Gao Cheng. Zu Ting believed that Gao Cheng was disgusted by his kleptomania.

But this time, he was ranked in the top ten and kept his position as a Beijing official. The next thing to do is to show his talent as much as possible, so that Gao Cheng can change his opinion of himself.

The controversies of the criminal name division were concentrated on Song Qindao who was second, but the controversy was not too great, after all, his policy theory could also enter the top ten according to the real ranking.

"Tonight at Xushi, the Bohai Prince's Mansion is setting up a banquet, and the general will drink with the Jinshi of various disciplines!"

The official of Zhongshu Province stood in front of the list and shouted loudly.

This is a glorious thing, at least the civil servants have served in Zhongshu Province for many years, not to mention begging for a glass of water and wine in the Bohai Palace, and they have never even had the opportunity to visit the door.

Cui Li didn't stop for too long, he bid farewell to the congratulatory fellow Jinshi one by one, passing through the crying crowd, Cui Li begged to see General Gao Cheng in front of Zhongshu Provincial Yamen.

Gao Cheng didn't see him, but ordered Hexi Shele to bring a paper to lead Cui Shan to Shangshu Province to search for Song Youdao.

Song Youdao looked at Gao Cheng's instructions in his hand, and looked at Cui Shan with a gloomy expression.

"The general cherishes talents, so he didn't punish your father with crimes, so that you have the opportunity to serve the court. In the future, you should reflect on yourself, restrain yourself and serve the public, and don't follow the example of your father."

Song Youdao's tone was very blunt, and he scolded his father to his son. If it was normal, Cui Shan might have ignored Yuan Fang's entry. '

But now the situation is stronger than others, and my father is still locked up in the cell.

"Thank you Song Zuocheng for your teaching, I will keep it in my heart."

Song Youdao saw the young man in front of him with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, so he didn't bother to preach any more, and ordered his cronies to lead Hexi Shele and Cui Shan to the cell to pick him up.

Cui Yan, who has been in prison for a long time, has a disheveled beard and a sloppy appearance, but looking at his son standing outside the cell door, the joy of regaining freedom made him unable to hold back his tears.

"The child is unfilial and makes the father suffer."

Cui Shanhong said with eyes wide open.

"It was because of my father that I almost killed you."

Cui Yan choked up emotionally.

In the cell directly opposite, Zheng Boyou loudly begged Cui Yuan to speak well in front of Gao Cheng, and Cui Yuan obliged.

The relationship between the two is not just inmates, they are a pair of close friends.

When they first met at a banquet, Zheng Boyou once expressed emotion:
"Cui Yan is eight feet long, with a face like a portrait. He is a feast for Hong Zhong, and he has a thousand volumes of books in his chest, which makes people fearless! '

The jailer opened the cell door, and Cui Yan couldn't wait to come out, before the father and son could hug each other, Hexi Shele had something to say:
"The great general said to me: 'Although I am worthless, I am worthy of great responsibility. I was regarded by Qing as a yellow-jawed child. Gold and stone can be sold, but this statement is hard to extinguish!'"

Cui Yan's face turned pale when he heard the words, even Cui Shan panicked, and Zheng Boyou on the other end completely lost all hope for his friend.

Gao Cheng's words clearly revealed one meaning: I cherish your son's talent, and let you go today, but you called me a yellow-jawed child, and I will remember this hard-to-take revenge for the rest of my life. "

Cui Shan hurriedly pleaded with Hexi Shele, who was dressed as a warrior:

"Also invite this general..."

Before he finished speaking, Hexi Shele interrupted:

"I'm just Kuzhi under the general's command. I can't be called a general. Mr. Cui doesn't need to ask for mercy from the general. I spared your father today. The general has done his best. Now he has prepared a residence for Cui Gong in Yingzhou for his father." Elderly care, this life is not allowed to take a step away from Liaodong."

The other three present didn't understand that Gao Cheng wanted to imprison Cui Yan until he died in Liaodong, in order to relieve their hatred.

"Father, don't worry, the child will definitely do things with his heart and make meritorious deeds, so he can plead with the general."

Cui Shan could only comfort her.

He also knew that what his father did was too taboo, so he actually questioned whether the fledgling Gao Cheng could take on the heavy responsibility.

No matter how much he doubts, this kind of words can only be kept deep in his heart, how can he say it out of his mouth, he still spread it when he was having a banquet with the Hebei group of people.

Cui Yan thought that with such a vigorous son, he might be able to return to his homeland in a few years.

The father and son were about to leave when they were stopped by Hexi Shele:
"Cui Gong doesn't need to hurry back to the residence. The general has already arranged a carriage and will send you to live in the west of Liaoning immediately. Although it is a simple meal, you will have no worries about food and clothing. Don't worry."

"I always want to go back to the mansion to bring my wives, concubines and family!"

Cui Yan couldn't help arguing.

Only then did Hexi Shele act suddenly:

"I missed it. What the general said is that you can go to the west of Liaoning alone."

After all, he said seriously:

"The general has an order: without permission, Cui Yuan's family members who go to visit Liaoxi will die!"

Only then did Cui Yan confirm that Gao Cheng wanted to exile him in western Liaoning to die alone.

Thinking about this, Cui Yan became dizzy for a while, even though Cui Lan was still comforting, saying that he would make a miracle and find Gao Cheng's forgiveness, but Cui Yan no longer had hope.

When Hexi Shele led Cui Yuan to leave, Zheng Boyou grabbed the pillar of the cell and shouted loudly:
"Little General, I beg you to speak kindly for me, Zheng will be rewarded handsomely."

Hexi Shele turned around and looked at Zheng Boyou with great interest.

Looking at the face full of smiles, Hexi Shele suddenly said:
"Presumably Zheng Cishi still doesn't understand his situation. I heard that Zheng Cishi's adopted daughter is Sun Pushe's wife. You know that Sun Pushe has imprisoned his wife for many days and dare not let her go free for fear of getting burned. Zheng Cishi's money is full of money." It's bloody, it's too hot, I can't handle it."

Zheng Boyou's pupils dilated and his eyes were out of focus. He never knew that such a situation would happen.

When I was in despair, I heard Hexi Shele say again:
"Back then, the great general's uncle, Wei Jingwei, Inspector Wei, had no intention of killing the people. If he hadn't been kind to the king in nurturing him, he would have given him the head. In order to plunder the people's wealth and falsely kill good people, if the general continued to be lenient, how could he govern the people of the world.

"Now that the witnesses and the material evidence are convincing, Inspector Zheng confessed his guilt and confessed the people involved in the case. Although death is inevitable, the family will be safe. If you resist to the end and annoy the general, the two sons will not only be dismissed from office, but that's all there is to say. , I hope Governor Zheng think twice."

Hexi Shele took the Cui family father and son away, leaving only Zheng Boyou silent like a dead man.
