little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49
Cats have cat ways, dogs have dog ways, officials also have official ways, some things can only be felt but not expressed in words.Zhu Changluo understood what the county magistrate Lu wanted to say.

Things in the officialdom are quite mysterious, some things are clearly understood by each other but cannot be revealed, there must be a layer of veil between them.This layer of yarn is like the gongs and drums on the stage, seemingly useless, but indispensable.

People who are new to opera don’t understand, thinking that the huqin and silk bamboo are enough for singing, but once the play is over, the gongs and drums are clanging, the priorities are high and low, and the meaning is deep. Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, people who know how to sing the play up.So speaking and listening to the sound, listening to the sound of gongs and drums, this thing can only be understood, not expressed in words.

"Could you please ask, what is the relationship between Young Master and Uncle Ning Yuan?" Seeing Lu County Magistrate's nervous expression, Zhu Changluo almost laughed out loud, held back for a while, and said seriously: "I'm not talented, it's him The old man's grandson-in-law."

County magistrate Lu's face suddenly realized, his face became more and more flattering, and then he lowered his voice, "My son is related to Mo Jiangcheng who is in prison?"

Zhu Changluo was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he frowned, with a chill in his eyes, "I'm not close to Mo Jiafei, so please speak up if you have something to say, Mr. Lu."

"Okay, my son is exquisite and nine-skilled. I will say something straight when I see you as an official." Zhu Changluo laughed secretly, but fortunately he didn't say anything about admiration like a surging river. It seems that Master Lu is proficient in flattery. In a few words, I have a relationship with myself.

"This case is the victim of the Mo family, but the father of the young master of the Luo family who committed the crime is Mr. Luo Daluo, who was given by the Ministry of Rites in the court." Zhu Changluo looked at the county magistrate Lu mysteriously for a long time, thinking that the young master of the Luo family did not know what happened behind him. What kind of background do you have, and it takes a long time to be a sixth-rank etiquette department?There are as many sixth-rank officials in the imperial city. It is no exaggeration to say that if a brick is thrown down to kill a few, half of them will be sixth-rank officials.

Among the six ministries of officials, households, soldiers, punishments, rites and labors, the Ministry of Rites is just a little better than the Ministry of Industry.If Luo Daxie is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he can be regarded as an official, but for a small sixth-rank Ministry of Rites, how can he scare you into such a state?

The county magistrate Lu, who is used to looking at colors, has already guessed what Zhu Changluo is thinking, and smiled wryly, "Master, you think I'm afraid of that Luo Daxie? It's absurd..."

Absurd?These words are interesting, Zhu Changluo heard a bit of taste from it, and immediately became interested, "Master Lu, you have already said half of what you have said, so don't make excuses, let's get straight to the point, shall we?" With a little displeasure.

"Lord Luo has a very close relationship with Uncle Zheng Guo. Uncle Zheng Guo sent a letter to warn his son to commit the crime this time, asking the lower officials to handle it as appropriate." County Magistrate Lu gritted his teeth and finally revealed the real trickery of the case.

It turned out that Zhu Changluo suddenly realized.With Zheng Guotai's status today, it is indeed impossible for a county magistrate to match.He nodded immediately, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for telling the truth. But since I intervene in this matter, it must be done from beginning to end."

He thought that bringing out Zheng Guotai would definitely make this ignorant young man quit. After all, behind Zheng Guotai was Concubine Zheng, and behind Concubine Zheng was the emperor... But the facts disappointed Magistrate Lu greatly.

"My lord, can I listen to your advice? Uncle Zheng Guo has joined in this case. Although my lord is backed by Uncle Li, the Zheng family is close to the emperor and favored by the Jiaofang. According to the official, this move by your lord It's really unwise. The lower officials have been talking too much today, just because they don't want to see the young master in a dangerous situation without knowing it." The county magistrate Lu is earnest, and he will not give up if he doesn't see the Yellow River.

"There are gods three feet above your head, and the blue sky cannot be bullied. It's hard to have both. Mr. Lu only knows how to be wise and guard his body, but he didn't expect to have failed the emperor's grace. If I remember correctly, the Jingcha University will be in two years' time." In my opinion, if my lord doesn't make a decision early, I'm afraid I'm still in the middle of whether this black yarn will be promoted by arranging flowers or going home to farm."

Zhu Changluo's words had a lot of meaning, they seemed to be pointing at something, he pulled and hit him faintly and threateningly, how could County Magistrate Lu not understand that it was a matter of great importance to the future, and the county magistrate Lu was in a cold sweat again.

But there is one thing that County Magistrate Lu really understands. Judging from what this young master means, the bastard has made up his mind and made it clear that he doesn't take the Zheng family seriously. This is to challenge him.He didn't know that when Zhu Changluo heard the word Zheng, old and new hatred welled up in his heart. Since the Luo family is a member of the Zheng family, he should cut it off first.

The magistrate Lu, who was thinking about it, finally sighed, why did he come to be a small official? Li Chengliang was behind this young man, and Luo Dayu and Zheng Guotai were behind Luo Tuisi.As the saying goes, the king of Hades fights, and the little ghost suffers, but I actually want to mediate it, I really don't worry about it.

Forget it, my lord doesn't care if it's okay or not!Thinking of this, County Magistrate Lu simply turned around and returned to the case, and took out a stack of documents and handed them to Zhu Changluo, "The words have already been explained, and the responsibility of the lower officials is over. This is the file before and after the trial, and the young master will know it at a glance. After finishing speaking, he licked his chapped lips, "This case has not been closed yet, and it is still too late."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Changluo reached out to take the file, "I can assure you, my lord will not regret the choice I made today." County magistrate Lu was full of bitterness, and he couldn't say anything except a wry smile.

Just when Zhu Changluo and his group stepped on the gate of the prison, Luo Tuisi, the young master of the Luo family in Dageng County, was sitting on pins and needles. Ever since the people sent by the county magistrate Lu left, he had become like this, with a great sense of panic. The sense of impending doom almost drove him mad.

A burst of pungent aroma hit, and a seductive woman came in from the door curtain.Seeing Luo Tuisi like this, he couldn't help but sneered. "Even if you have the courage to do it, you must have the courage to promise it. What can you do in a panic!" The voice was not loud, but it was piercing.

"You also said that if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have put Lan Xin..." Luo Tuisi's eyes almost burst into flames, "It's all about you bitch, it's all about you who instigated me made!"

"Hehehe..." The woman sneered for a while, "The people of the Luo family are worthless, your father is like this, and your son is still like this, a pair of worthless people! If you are afraid, don't do it in the first place, and don't regret it if you do it. "

Luo Tuisi put his head in his hands and yelled in pain: "Bitch... Bitch, you still want to seduce me, how long are you going to kill me..." The woman smiled like a flower, but she couldn't hide the coldness and resentment in her eyes. .

Prisons are the same all over the world.It was dark, dark, and the sky was not visible. The narrow road seemed to lead to hell without end.

Stepping into the Da Geng Prison, the first thing you see is a few small stone rooms, and there is only a small air hole at the highest place.The accumulated blood on the walls and the ground had solidified into black brown marks. Several burning braziers were lit in the long corridor, and a stench of musty smell followed the gusts of wind, making people want to vomit.

After walking all the way in, Zhu Changluo realized that the prison cells were also divided into private rooms and Datong shops.Compared with the big fence in front of me, the previous stone house is in better condition than 01:30.

Through the dim light of the fire in the corridor, Zhu Changluo saw dozens of prisoners in ragged clothes and blood stains rolling on the rotten straw inside the fence.After hearing the sound of footsteps, a few raised their heads, their eyes flashing with the light of survival, but most of them remained motionless, as if they were dead.

Once in prison, this person is no longer a human being.

Lord Lu covered his nose with his hands, looking at these prisoners in disgust, he wished he could fly out of this place with his wings, and said a few words to the guards beside him. ,come out!"

When Xiong Tingbi saw his friend Mo Jiangcheng, who was covered in blood-stained prison clothes, he couldn't believe his eyes. In just a few days, a gentle and gentle scholar turned into a dying ghost covered in blood. Xiong Tingbi was filled with anger , Manzi's temper flared up, he clenched his fists and turned around to beat County Magistrate Lu severely.

"Fei Bai, don't do it!" Mo Jiangcheng's weak voice stopped Xiong Tingbi from being a friend after all.Seeing Mo Jiangcheng, Zhu Changluo didn't bother to make false promises to this extremely slippery Mr. Lu, and said indifferently: "Since I have met Mr. Mo, I don't dare to bother Mr. Lu any more. This place is so dirty, my lord is still waiting." Back, I have a few words to say to Mr. Mo."

How could County Magistrate Lu be willing to retreat, and was about to mutter to find a reason to stay here, Li Rumei chuckled, and took County Magistrate Lu's hand, "Let's go, Mr. Lu, let's go to northern Xinjiang. I heard that you are a famous place in Dageng County There are so many, you have to do your best as a landlord and introduce them to us properly."

County magistrate Lu felt as if his hands were covered with iron tongs, and he could not help but follow Li Rumei along the way.

Zhu Changluo squatted down and looked at Mo Jiangcheng by the light of the fire. It may be because of too many tortures. His face was as white as snow, with a bit of death, "Tell me everything you know, and I may help you out." Bundle."

A gust of cold wind seemed to blow the turbid air in the prison, and Mo Jiangcheng's dead eyes suddenly lit up.

After coming out of the prison, Zhu Changluo didn't say anything, turned around and looked at Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi was very clever, turned around and ran away, "I'm going to find Xiaocui..."

Xiaocui is Mo Lanxin's dowry girl, and this is the only clue Mo Jiangcheng put forward in prison. According to Mo Jiangcheng, before Lan Xin's accident, Xiaocui went to the mansion to look for him once, what a coincidence He was not in the mansion at that time.As for what Xiaocui wanted to say, it became a mystery. Perhaps from her mouth, he could know the cause of Mo Lanxin's death.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi running away, Ye He turned his head and frowned, "For this kid, you don't even care about being poisoned and returning to Beijing. Is it worth the time spent here?"

"There is more than one Xiong Tingbi, and there will be many, many people in the future..." Zhu Changluo smiled at Ye He's surprised gaze, "Ye He, you know my identity, and I can neither hide nor hide from now on. There is a game of chess in the world, it's either black or white, life or death, it's that simple."

"Do you know who is the person I admire the most so far?" In response to Zhu Changluo's rhetorical question, Ye He, who had been infected by his inexplicable emotions, shook his head blankly.

At this moment, the smile on Zhu Changluo's face was almost self-deprecating, "The person I admire most is Nuerhachi!" Ye He's answer was beyond Ye He's expectation, and he cast his surprised and puzzled eyes on Zhu Changluo.

"Do you know what the human instinct is to live in this world? It is to survive! For a piece of land, for a piece of meat, you will raise a knife to kill and plunder, just to live one more day in this world. You can say Nuerha Chi is cunning and ruthless, and he can also be said to be cruel and heartless, but he raised troops with thirteen pairs of armor, and he can have today's status, just because of this, he is worthy of my respect and emulation."

"Yehe, it is very difficult for me to survive. In order to survive, I may be more cunning and cruel than Nurhachi in the future. I have already grasped this game of chess, and I will not stop! I will accept many people, good and bad, as long as they are useful to me, I will accept them, as long as they can be used by me!"

It has to be said that Zhu Changluo's words had a great impact on Ye He. When Zhu Changluo's figure was about to disappear from his sight, Ye He suddenly yelled, "Zhu Xiaoqi, where are you going?" ?”

"Big Ye, hurry up, we have to talk to the dead, and only the dead can help us now..."
