Liu Bowen smiled and said: "If we say there are countless heroes in the world, but if we talk about martial arts, there are only five of them. However, General Chang has passed away, and there are only four left now."
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked: "I don't know who those four people are."
Liu Bowen pondered for a moment and then said: "Wang Baobao of Gansu, publisher of Yunnan, Zhang Dakui, a prisoner, and Li Siqi of Henan."
When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Now Tian De (Xu Da) is competing with Li Siqi in Shanxi. If you don't have help, it will take a lot of trouble."
Liu Bowen chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. All you need to do is ask Zhang Dakui to go north overnight to help Marshal Xu."
When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, he nodded and said: "In that case, I will follow the words of the Prime Minister." But Zhu Yuanzhang said in a flash: "It can't be delayed. Tonight, the Prime Minister will go to Zhang Dakui to tell Zhang Dakui that if he dares to push back again, I will kill him without mercy."
,"
Liu Bowen immediately stood up and saluted and said: "I obey the order," and then left the Yangxin Palace. He was still led out of the palace by the eunuchs in charge.
In the cell, Da Kui sat on the bed and stared at the food on the table in a daze. His heart was full of sorrow but there was no one to talk to. Chang Yuchun's death was full of doubts, but he didn't know why it had such a result. Fang Jiutian's whereabouts were obtained
Later, Dakui sent two men, Tian Feng and Zhou Kai, to go north to alert the police. Fang Jiutian was sinister and ruthless, and could kill people invisible. In terms of martial arts, he was naturally no match for Chang Yuchun.
.
At this moment, there was a "clatter" sound from the cell door, and the jailer brought food and wine into the door.
"Master Zhang, you haven't eaten for a day. This is what Master Ma asked me to bring. You can take a bite." The jailer walked to the table and put the food and wine on the table one by one. Da Kui looked at it with amusement.
Ma Zhubo is the scholar he brought back from Fuzhou, and now he is the chief clerk of the Ministry of Punishment.
But at this moment, Da Kui's spirit was so low that he could not think about drinking and eating meat. His life and death were uncertain, and Brother Chang treated him unfairly. No one else would have thought about eating or drinking.
"Excuse me, brother, thank Mr. Ma for his kindness. Let's take the food and wine away," Dakui said in a low voice.
The jailer had a troubled look on his face: "My lord, you look like you are blessed. Now it's just a tiger's fall. You will be out one day. If the day comes when your official resumes his duties, don't forget about your little one." As he said this
The jailer was smiling all over his face, and he was truly a model of flattery.
Dakui smiled and said: "There is no need to say more about this. I naturally know it well." After that, Dakui not only asked: "I wonder if I can let you take a bath and change clothes. I haven't bathed for many days and my body is smelly."
The jailer was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said: "To be honest, you are a repeat offender and are not allowed to be visited by outsiders. This meal of food and wine is an exception made by a villain. Besides...,"
The jailer was about to say something, but Dakui raised his hand to stop him and said: "Then don't embarrass me, please go out."
"Hey, if you have any orders, just greet the little one," the jailer said, leaving the cell and closing the iron door again.
Dead silence fell into the cell again. Da Kui got up and walked to the table and sat down. He reached out and grabbed the wine jug. There was wine in the jug. He was afraid that the wine would make him sad and make him even more depressed. Da Kui was so complacent that he picked up the wine glass.
Staring at the cup in his hand in a daze.
About half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the cell door. The viewing window on the door was opened. The jailer took a look outside the door and saw Da Kui lying motionless on the table. The jailer couldn't help but smile softly and took the key.
He opened the cell door and entered the cell.
"Hey, it's a pity that you have been a hero all your life, but you don't know that people's hearts are evil," the jailer came to the table and put the empty food box on the table. Then he took the food and wine on the table back into the food box one by one, and said to himself as he moved. He said to himself: "You shouldn't have offended the powerful, you shouldn't have offended the powerful, and you can't do anything about it. You use people's money to eliminate disasters for others."
After clearing away the cups and plates, the jailer said again: "Master Zhang, don't look for me when you get there, it's none of my business." After saying that, he picked up the food box and started to leave. As soon as he took a step forward, he felt his right wrist tighten. The jailer was suddenly shocked, but his three souls were lost in his seven souls. Although he was standing by the table, his whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Oh, the wine is good, but it's a pity that it's a little short," Dakui was lying motionless on the table. At this moment, he actually grabbed the jailer's wrist with one hand, straightened up and stretched his waist.
The jailer knelt down on the ground with a bang, and changed his tone and begged Da Kui for mercy: "Master Zhang, you really don't want to do my business." Da Kui let go of his hand, and the jailer knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic. Sumisuke's plea for mercy: "The little one was temporarily lost in his mind. The little one deserves to die for his crime. Sir, please spare the little one."
"Who sent you here," Dakui asked coldly with a straight face.
The jailer raised his head, his face covered with cold sweat. When Da Kui was in charge of the Criminal Department, his methods were well known to everyone. It seemed that no one had ever refused to confess. Even if they did, they would only force it. In the end, the result would be the same.
"The little one just received a note and fifty taels of silver. Whoever the superiors want to attack, they all act in this way. I don't know who instigated the little one. Sir, I'm telling the truth," the jailer said again. Kowtow.
Dakui sighed softly and said: "I won't make it difficult for you, just get up."
Upon hearing this, the jailer felt as if he had received an amnesty, and quickly stood up and stood aside. Da Kui took out his money bag from his arms, selected a five hundred tael of silver note and placed it on the table. Then he said: "This is five hundred tael of silver. Just take it and fly away with your family,"
It turns out that when a murderer is hired to kill someone in prison, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the murderer will definitely fly away after committing the crime. Firstly, to avoid official investigation, and secondly, to avoid the murderer to kill and silence him. This jailer is also an old man in the world. When he met the man on the table But he didn't dare to take the money, he just stood there motionless.
Dakui was confused and asked: "Why don't you take the silver?"
The jailer stood there and shrieked for a long time before saying: "This prison cell of the Criminal Department is no better than other places. If things work out, it will be better, but if things don't work, you can't escape. I'm just afraid..." After saying that, he started to cry. This year Yue, as a jailer, had no choice but to do it himself. Since someone from the Ministry of Punishment ordered him to kill someone, he naturally knew the details of the jailer clearly. Even if the jailer took the money and wanted to fly away, the monk could not escape from the temple. .
Dakui sighed softly and then said: "You can take the money and settle down with your family. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I can't help you."
"Sir," the jailer knelt down again after hearing this, with tears on his face and said, "Wu Liu will be grateful for your kindness in this life." As he said this, he leaned on the ground and broke down in tears.
"Get up, I don't mean to blame you," Dakui waved his hand, Wu Liu slowly stood up, and Dakui handed over the banknote.
Wu Liu thought for a while and then gritted his teeth and said: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Wu Liu said goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and left without going to get the banknote.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a loud noise outside the cell: "Quick, quick, don't let the murderer go."
Wu Liu had just walked to the door of the cell and was shocked when he heard the noise. Then he saw several officials from the Ministry of Justice rushing into the cell. Without any explanation, they swarmed up and pushed Wu Liu to the ground.
When Dakui saw such a scene, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Look sideways at the young lady, and tell me that she has a black and white face,"
The person who entered the door next was Sheng Yuanfu. The first thing he did when he entered was to point at Wu Liudao: "You treacherous villain dares to murder an official of the imperial court. Come on, please pull him out and serve him with a stick." Order, drag Wu Liu and leave.
Unexpectedly, Dakui shouted loudly: "Stop," and everyone was shocked when they saw Dakui get up angrily, pointed at Sheng Yuanfu's nose and cursed: "You are a bitch, how dare you take human life without asking about the innocent things."
"Sir Zhang, why do you say this? I have received a secret report that someone bribed Wu Liu to murder you." Sheng Yuanfu looked frightened, but he did not dare to show any disrespect to Da Kui. Although Da Kui is now The official title of Jiangnan Tongzhengshi has been lost, but after all, he is still a first-rank Taibao. The so-called official rank is overwhelming, let alone the difference between a first-rank and a fourth-rank.
"Why did Wu Liu plot to kill me? We were having a good chat, but why did you barge in? I haven't spoken to anyone for many days, and you came to bother me. Could it be that you don't take me seriously," Dakui said. Every sentence was rushed, but Sheng Yuanfu was at a loss for words.
"Let him go," Da Kui shouted to the officials. The officials looked at each other but did not let go.
Dakui was furious when he saw this, "Sheng Yuanfu, your wings are stiff, aren't they?" As soon as he finished speaking, Dakui reached out and patted Sheng Yuanfu's left shoulder, and then moved his fingers a little harder.
Sheng Yuanfu screamed: "Let him go, let him go quickly." When Dakui's hand loosened his grip, Sheng Yuanfu cried out in pain: "Zhang Dakui, you dare to escape from prison."
Dakui chuckled and said: "I'm not escaping from prison, I just want to tell you. Don't think that after I'm in prison, I just let people shit on my head. If I'm pissed off, I can strangle you to death with two fingers." At this moment, Dakui He doesn't look like a high-ranking official at all, and he is downright vicious.
When Sheng Yuanfu saw Dakui Sapo, he said helplessly: "My lord, let go quickly. It's my fault..."
"Hey, hey, that's not possible. I want you to chat with me for a few words. Shanda people won't refuse, right?" Dakui asked with a dry laugh. Sheng Yuanfu dared to refuse. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Only then did Dakui say with satisfaction: "Wu Liu will stay, and the others can go out. I want to talk about poetry and poetry with Lord Sheng Yuanfu. Don't bother me." After saying this, the officials did not move.
Dakui said nothing, and put a little more force on his hand on Sheng Yuanfu's shoulder. Sheng Yuanfu let out a ghostly howl: "Everyone, get out, get out quickly." All the officials dared to delay and rushed out of the cell door. But Dakui warned: "Remember to close the door, otherwise it will look like you are in jail."
The iron door closed with a bang, and the door was locked with a clatter. Only then did Dakui let go of Sheng Yuanfu's shoulders with contentment, and said, "Sheng Shanda, I'm offended," Dakui said with a sneer.
Sheng Yuanfu quickly took a few steps back, then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,"
Dakui chuckled and said: "Since it doesn't matter, let's do it again," he said and walked towards Sheng Yuanfu.
