Chapter 266
Wu Han sat in the wind stupidly, looking at his familiar and unfamiliar military camp, not knowing what he should do. He has lived here for more than ten years, drinking and gambling with his brothers, and the days passed day by day. Today, when the brothers left, the other brothers suddenly changed their faces, one by one, like a ferocious god.
The rice bag was closed, and he didn't dare to go home, and he didn't know how to explain it to his wife. As for the debts of the Beijing Bank that he suddenly had, he had no idea. He had heard of the bank, but he had no money and had never dealt with them.
Not far away, there were a few figures swaying around. Wu Han vaguely recognized that they were all trusted subordinates of Commander Cui. The law of avoidance in the officialdom was extremely strict. As long as there were intersections in official affairs, relatives would avoid it, but this was not the case in the army. Some people believed that brothers in war, father and son soldiers were in battle, and from the time of Emperor Taizong, they encouraged father and son to be transferred to a military camp. In families with a large number of children, seven or eight brothers, plus son-in-law and various relatives, one battalion of four hundred people could occupy a small part of the small military camp. Commander Cui had dozens of relatives in the camp, and no one could make a fuss.
Wu Han didn't know why those people had to look after him. Was he afraid of finding a commander to theory? What theory? The commander said that the documents he received had their own stickers and his own thumbs up, what truth could he say? Wu Han didn't know what those documents were, and there was no concept of when to sign and write. In the past, when he was gambling with people, he would sometimes take out messy contracts and let the gambler draw the mark, but he didn't know what it was. Anyway, if you draw the mark, you will get money. Wu Han rarely does this kind of thing. He is taken care of by Jia Kui, so he basically won't sell his wife and houses. But who is right? The gambler was so angry that he didn't even know who his father was. How could he remember everything clearly?
After sitting in the wind for a long time, his whole body was numb from cold. Wu Han stood up and looked around blankly, but he didn't know where to go. He carried his empty pocket and walked forward in a hurry in the cold wind.
I don’t know how long I had left, but Wu Han raised his head and found that he had arrived in front of the hall of the palace.
The commander's yamen in front of the palace is located next to the Youyemen Gate in the south of the imperial city, while the Duyuhou Yamen is located in the north of the imperial city, one south and one north of the imperial city. This is why the Palace's yamen is called this name, because it is really located in front of the palace. However, in the Later Zhou Dynasty, the yamen was inside the imperial city. After entering the Song Dynasty, it moved out of the imperial city, and the imperial city became the territory of the imperial city.
When he came to the capital to play, Wu Han had also been to the yamen, but he didn't like it much. Although this place was a place to take care of himself, a cavalryman's status was too low and it was not related to him. Today, Wu Han suddenly felt that it was different from before. The commander didn't care about him, so why didn't he ask in the yamen? He had never done anything about borrowing, and as long as the people here said something to him, the huge misunderstanding could be explained clearly.
Wandering in front of the yamen for a long time, Wu Han could not raise the courage when he looked at the gatekeeper in brightly dressed and armored.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wu Han saw a man walking out of the yamen. He was dressed up as an official, and his eyes lit up. The people holding swords and guns had a bad temper, and these public officials were always easier to talk to.
The blood surged for a moment. Wu Han ignored it and quickly stepped forward, grabbed the public official's sleeve, and said, "Brother, let's go slowly. Below is the palace under the Sigong Holy Army. I have a question for you!"
The public official was startled, looked at Wu Han, and hurriedly shook his sleeves: "Who is it? In front of the Palace Commander's Office, you dare to make trouble here! Let go quickly, otherwise the boss's stick will beat you out!"
Wu Han suffered a grievance for a day, and ignored it at this time, but just held the sleeve of the public official and said, "Brother, help me!"
In just a blink of an eye, the guards in front of the yamen were alarmed. Several people walked up with swords and rods and asked the public official: "Yao Kongmu, who is this? Why should I hold you back? Do you recognize him?"
Yao Yemu said, "How do I recognize him? This guy came out of the wind like a ghost, holding his sleeves and preventing me from leaving!"
After hearing this, the guard was still polite? The big stick in his hand hit Wu Han in a daze and shouted: "In front of the Palace Master, you dare to do whatever you want! Look at your ghost-like appearance, you are nothing wrong to kill him here!"
Wu Han was in pain, so he had to let go of Yao Kongmu, squatted on the ground and hugged his head and shouted: "I am a good person, I just talk to this brother. They are all his own brothers, don't beat him randomly! Oh, if you beat him again, you will die!"
The guard said, "What kind of cat and dog are you dare to come to tell us that you are your own people! Seeing you walking around in front of the yamen, you are malicious and want to plot against you. Beating to death is just enough to eliminate the harm!"
Yao Kongmu escaped, glanced at Wu Han, and was about to leave. He just saw the empty rice pocket in his hand. He thought of something and turned back. When the guard stopped, Yao Kongmu asked Wu Han: "Tell me the truth, what's wrong with coming to the yamen?"
One day, someone was willing to talk to me. Wu Han was sad and said with tears in his eyes: "Official, I am the cavalry of our Gong Sheng Army. Today was the day to receive money and grain, but I went to the Grain and Materials Court, but the brother who sent the grain there said that my money and grain had been taken away by our Confucius Officer. The brother pointed it out to me, and there was a seal from the Confucius Officer in front of the palace, and I thought I would not fool me. When I returned to the military camp, I followed my events.
The commander of the camp said, but Commander Cui said that I had owed money from the capital bank before, and the money and grain were deducted and paid back. The conscience of heaven and earth, although I, Wu Han, was not a good player, I never owed others money. But the commander said that there were documents in the book and I had my fingers on it, and I kept asking me to raise money. Where can I raise money? The children at home were young, and they were still counting on getting money and rice, buying some charcoal and roasting fire, and making bowls of porridge. Who knew that they would not dare to go back now if they had a family!"
While talking, all the grievances that were suffered today came up, and Wu Han couldn't help but hold his head and cry on the ground.
Yao Kongmu winked at the guard on the side, bent down and said softly to Wu Han: "Don't be anxious, I know this. I'm the one in front of the palace. I sent someone to pick up your money and grain in the Grain and Material Courtyard."
Wu Han suddenly raised his head and looked at Yao Kongmu and asked anxiously: "Kongmu, why did you deduct me money and food? I thought about it in the cold wind, but after thinking about it, I really haven't done this before!"
Yao Kongmu sighed: "A person's mouth is just two skins. He can say anything at will with just one move. How can he trust it? You said that he had never done it, but my documents here clearly said that you did it. You can't trust it. You must have documents to prove it. Otherwise, how can the government decide the case? This way, please follow me and tell me in detail about your affairs to see if there is any way to help you."
Wu Han was skeptical: "Kongmu really wants to help me? We have never met before."
"That's not what I said. I am Confucius, the Temple Front Secretarius. You are under my control, so you will naturally help."
He helped Wu Han up, Yao Kongmu said, "There is a small winery not far from the road. Have you seen it? Let's wait for me there. I will go back to the yamen and ask some things and come. Relax, as long as you make it clear, this is not a big deal."
