Chapter two hundred and eighty first confused account
Fang Yingwu looked at Xiang Chengxian a few more times to make sure that he had not been tortured and was just locked up overnight. Then he asked, "What happened to Brother Xiang yesterday?"
"It's hard to explain in words!" Xiang Chengxian sighed, "Yesterday I found some friends from the province at the guild hall and made an appointment to go to Gongyuan together to visit, so as not to be blinded during the exam..."
Fang Yingwu curled his lips, "Stop making excuses, let's get to the point... Since we were going to Gongyuan, why did we end up in the Soldiers and Horses Division Prison?"
Xiang Chengxian showed a bit of embarrassment, "On the road, for some reason, we were talking about beauties, and someone suggested that it's better to catch the sun than to hit it. It's better to go directly to Jiaofangsi Hutong to open up your horizons and see Beidi Rouge and me.
What's the difference between Jiangnan beauties? My brother couldn't hold it in any longer, so we went together."
Fang Yingwu automatically made up the following plot, "Then? You must be jealous of others, and others got angry and called the sergeant of the Army and Horse Division to capture you and bring you here?"
"That's not the case. As a brother, I have always been modest. How could I have conflicts with others casually?" Xiang Chengxian denied it. "Yesterday, we drank and had fun with the Ji family, but we didn't see any other outsiders at all."
Fang Yingwu didn't quite believe what Xiang Chengxian said, "That's strange. Why did the military commander arrest you if you were so good? Is there anything else you and I can't say? Brother Xiang, just do it honestly, otherwise I won't think about it, little brother.
Way to save you.
Besides, brother, you don’t have anything to be afraid of. How can the emperor still have no explanation? If someone abuses public weapons and arrests candidates for exams without permission, this lawsuit will be justified even if it goes to the imperial court!"
Xiang Chengxian said with a grimace, "I really haven't seen anyone else. I was joking with you as a brother, and suddenly the sergeant came in and caught me. I still can't understand it until now."
Fang Yingwu still couldn't believe it, "You mean, you didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and you didn't make any enmity with anyone, but the sergeant from the Bingma Division suddenly showed up to catch you?"
He thought of the online novels he had read in his previous life. The protagonists who were the most capable of inciting hatred and possessing the most sarcastic faces were not so miserable - he had never even seen the villain's face, and without any clues, he was confused and confused.
Caught in jail.
Fang Yingwu frowned and thought for a moment, but gave up. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't understand the situation. The main reason was that Xiang Chengxian provided too little analyzable information.
Xiang Chengxian had no choice but to describe his experience in detail: "A few of us went to Jiaofangsi Hutong and inquired with the vendors on the street, and found out about some of the most famous leaders in the industry. One of them was Du Xiangqin, and we
Then I went to her house..."
When Fang Yingwu heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "Seeing that the test is about to happen, you still have time to sleep on flowers and willows. Could it be that you have a good grasp of Chinese style?"
Xiang Chengxian said nonchalantly: "I was satisfied with winning the national examination last year. I can't ask for anything else in the next three to five years. So I don't expect to win the Huangjia title this time. I just want to practice my skills."
After winning the title, he lost his enterprising spirit. He didn't know whether his mentality was good or bad. Fang Yingwu shook his head and urged: "Don't talk nonsense, keep talking."
Xiang Chengxian forgot about his situation and said with joy: "Now is the time when business in the flower world is bleak. When we arrived at Du Xiangqin's place, she happened to be free, so she came out to see us. I see that this beauty is indeed beautiful and beautiful.
No less than your Yuan Fengxiao..."
"Get to the point!" Fang Yingwu corrected him simply and crudely.
Xiang Chengxian smiled and said, "Yes, later I spent money to buy a banquet, and invited a few other beauties, and we drank and had fun."
Fang Yingwu was puzzled, "Just these things? Nothing else?"
Xiang Chengxian recalled, "I was the host yesterday, so Miss Du Xiangqin accompanied me during the dinner and talked a lot.
She said that her parents died when she was young, so she was sold into this alley in order to keep her younger brothers alive. Although she had been tired of it for a long time, she could only force a smile all day long.
I think she is pitiful and has a rare beauty. In addition, she is very talkative.
Come on, I want to redeem her and keep her with me. By the way, I don’t have enough money here. You can lend me one or two hundred or two weeks later, and I’ll return it to you when it’s convenient.”
Fang Yingwu couldn't get out of his anger at the moment, "Brother Xiang, even if you can't be called a veteran of flowers, you still have some experience in Fengyue Field? Do you believe this kind of cliché about just taking advantage of the situation? Incite family members , eight out of ten people will say this!"
Xiang Chengxian sighed and said: "It's hard for me to be a brother. I have long wanted to take a concubine when I was in the county, but I have been hindered by my humble concubine. It's not like you don't know this.
Now, if you marry a young woman in the capital, cook her from raw rice to cooked rice, and then bring her back home all the way, how can you be so ruthless as to drive her out?"
Thinking of Mrs. Xiang's toughness, Fang Yingwu could only express sympathy, but the top priority was not these, but to understand the situation and save people. Fang Yingwu asked: "Then, is there anything else?"
Xiang Chengxian nodded, "I was arguing with Miss Du Xiangqin's mother, and suddenly these soldiers and horsemen broke in, scooped me up and left without saying anything."
Fang Yingwu became more and more strange. This matter was really a confusing matter. There were only these causes and consequences. What was the problem? Who could catch Xiang Chengxian inexplicably? It was really incomprehensible.
Xiang Chengxian still couldn't find out the reason, so Fang Yingwu had no choice but to ask the sergeant who had received his red envelope to lead the way to the main hall of the government office to visit the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horses Department.
Fang Yingwu took out his father's business card and presented it in. He also gave money to the officials at several checkpoints before being led into the lobby and given the right to speak a few words with the commander of the troops.
There is a mountain and river screen in the hall. In front of the screen is a koan. Behind the koan sits an official about forty years old, wearing a wide round-collared blue official robe. He is probably Mr. Cao, the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horses Division.
Fang Yingwu stepped forward to see the ceremony, his eyes kept looking at the patch on the chest of the other party's official robe, which was embroidered with a bird - according to the Ming Dynasty law, civil servants' official uniforms were embroidered with birds on the chest, and military attache's official uniforms were embroidered with animals on the chest. Together they are called civil and military animals.
Fang Yingwu's eyes were very strange, which made Mr. Cao a little angry. He slapped the table and said: "Don't think too much, I am a civil servant with two rankings, not a martial artist!"
"Oh, oh, the commander of the troops and horses is indeed a civilian official." Fang Yingwu came to his senses, and he almost fell into the textual research again and couldn't extricate himself.
Although the name of the Military and Horse Commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is very similar to that of a military attaché, he is actually an out-and-out civilian official, with the same rank and treatment as a magistrate of a county. However, in this world, there are always ignorant laymen who mistakenly think that the Military and Horse Commander is a military attache. Lian Fang should Wu, a former expert on Ming history, found this strange.
It is really annoying and shameful for a dignified civil servant to be misunderstood as a military leader. The military commander in front of him is probably very annoyed by this. Seeing Fang Yingwu staring at his breasts, he felt like The ignorant people were astonished, and Master Cao couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
Fang Yingwu knew that he didn't have much time, so he quickly asked: "Master Cao, yesterday your office arrested a young master. This man is from my hometown. I don't know what mistakes he made. Can you let me know something?"
"
Mr. Cao was stunned. When he saw someone asking for help holding a Hanlin business card, he already guessed that they were asking for help. Dongcheng Military and Horse Division had several large and small cases every day. It was normal for someone to come to ask for help. This was often the case.
It's also a good opportunity to sell favors.
But what surprised Mr. Cao was that this Fang Yingwu actually came for Mr. Xiang from yesterday. He pondered for a moment and then replied: "This Mr. Xiang was living and drinking but did not pay the bills, so he was arrested."
Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded and couldn't believe that a person who was arrested must have a name, no matter whether the name was true or false, but he never expected that Xiang Chengxian would be arrested on such a charge.
Although Fang Yingwu didn't see it in person, he could conclude that it was impossible for Xiang Chengxian to eat Bawang Chicken. Mr. Xiang didn't lack the money at all, so he only did it because of his cleverness!
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but be surprised and said: "How is it possible? There must be injustice in it!"
Lord Cao chuckled indifferently and said, "I don't arrest people randomly. The old bustard of Du Xiangqin's family identified this matter. We have all the witnesses, so what else can we do?"
In addition, Lord Cao, the commander of the troops and horses, refused to say a word, let alone the matter of releasing the people. This was obviously not showing any dignity.
Fang Yingwu seemed to have fallen into the clouds, and became even more confused. What on earth is going on? This is obviously a trivial matter made out of nothing. Why didn't Mr. Cao even give him a chance to sell his favor? rs
