Chapter Forty-Six: Wu Song Makes a Trouble at Feiyunpu
Wu Song drank with Inspector Zhang for six or seven times. Before the wine was full, Inspector Zhang asked him to put it on the fruit table to drink, and served many dishes. The two chatted some more, and Inspector Zhang casually asked about some marksmanship. , Zhang Dujian said: "If a man is drinking, why use a small cup?" Then he called to the people around him and shouted: "Take a big silver reward bell and pour wine to eat with the righteous people."
The waiters brought out larger cups, and Supervisor Zhang persuaded Wu Song like a string of arrows.
Look at the bright moonlight shining through the east window. Wu Song was half drunk. He was greedy for the contents of the cup, but he forgot the etiquette and just drank. Zhang Dujian saw this and snickered secretly in his heart. Seeing that the time was right, at that moment Then he called his beloved foster-mother, named Yulan, to come out and sing.
Zhang Doujian pointed at Yulan and said: "There are no outsiders here, only my confidant Wu Du is here. You can sing a song about the Mid-Autumn Festival against the moon and teach us how to listen." Yulan insisted on the elephant board, They went forward and said a long blessing, opened their throats, and sang "Mid-Autumn Water Song" by a scholar from Dongpo. The song was: When will the bright moon come? I asked the sky with my wine: I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it tonight? I want to ride the wind When I return home, I'm afraid that it's too cold in the high place. I dance to clear my shadow. How can it be like being in the human world, with high rolling bead curtains and low curtains, illuminating sleepless people? There shouldn't be any hatred. Things always go well when we say goodbye. People have There are joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is something that cannot be solved in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart.
After the magnolias sang, they put down the elephant board, and each of them said a ten thousand blessings and stood aside.
Zhang Doujian said with ulterior motives again: "Yulan, you can give me a round of wine." Yulan responded and took a plate of persuasion. The maid poured the wine and handed it to the husband first, then to the wife, and then to the third one. Wu Song drank.
When Zhang Dujian saw it, he hurriedly asked Wu Song to fill it up and then invited Wu Song to eat.
When Wu Song saw this, he didn't dare to raise his head. He stood up and took the wine from a distance. He saluted and sang two great songs to Mr. Xianggong and his wife. He picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp, then returned the cup immediately.
Zhang Doujian saw that Wu Song was not messing around after drinking, so he had to take the initiative to set up a conversation. He pointed at Yulan and said to Wu Song: "This girl is quite smart. Not only is she good at music, but she is also very good at calligraphy and painting. If you don't mind being humble, , in a few days, if you choose the right time, I will be worthy to be your wife,"
When Wu Song heard this, his whole body was shaken. He stood up and bowed again, saying: "How can a person who is a villain dare to look at the husband of the Prime Minister's house as his wife? It will be a waste of Wu Song's fodder."
Seeing Wu Song's humility, Zhang Doujian smiled and said: "Since I have said this, I must talk to you. Don't stop me because of excuses. You will live up to your promise." At that time, he drank more than ten glasses of wine in a row.
As the wine poured in, he was afraid that he would lose his etiquette, and he was even more afraid that he would talk too much after drinking and accidentally say something important, so Wu Song immediately got up and thanked his wife, went out to the door of the front hall corridor, and opened the door. But he felt that it was difficult to fall asleep due to the food and wine in his stomach, so he took off his clothes and towel in the room, picked up a whistle stick, jumped into the courtyard, and used the stick several times under the moonlight. After a while, I played a few rounds and looked up at the sky. It was already about the third watch.
Wu Song entered the room, but when he was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, he heard a cry in the back hall that there was a thief. Wu Song heard this and said: "The Prime Minister of the Du Jian treats me like this. There are thieves in his back hall. How can I not go?" Rescue, if you achieve meritorious service, you will be promoted to an official rank." Wu Song immediately made up his mind to go to the service, picked up a whistle stick, and quickly rushed into the back hall.
Meeting a wonderful person head-on, Wu Song hurriedly stood up and took a closer look. It was the singing Magnolia. She hurriedly walked out and pointed to this side and shouted: "A thief ran into the back garden."
When Wu Song heard this, he held his whistle stick and strode straight into the garden to look for it. After running around for a while, there was not a single person in sight. Just when Wu Song felt that something was fishy and wanted to stand up and run out, he didn't take precautions. A bench was thrown out of the shadow, causing Wu Song to stumble. Then seven or eight strong soldiers jumped out, shouted "Catch the thief", and tied Wu Song with a hemp rope on the spot.
Wu Song struggled and shouted hurriedly: "It's me, it's me, Wu Song,"
Those soldiers didn't allow him to talk. Three or five of them pressed tightly on Wu Song's body, and they couldn't even let him move. The others took advantage of the situation and tied Wu Song's hands and feet with hemp ropes, like rice dumplings. It was strong, and a thick pole was passed through Wu Song's hands and feet. Someone picked up the two ends and carried it all the way to the lobby.
The lights in the hall were bright, and Zhang Dujian was sitting in the hall, shouting: "Get it!" All the soldiers beat Wu Song to the front of the hall with sticks, and Wu Song shouted: "I am not a thief, I am a thief." Wu Song,"
Zhang Dujian was furious after seeing this, changed his face, and shouted: "You are a traitor to the army. You are a traitor with a thieves' eyebrows, a thieves' eyes, a thieves' heart, but I have promoted you to become a man with your efforts. I have never failed you in the slightest, but I just taught you to eat wine together and sit on the same table. I expected to promote you as an official, but why do you do this kind of thing?"
Wu Song was unjustly accused and tied up in such a humiliating manner by these soldiers. At that moment, he was already furious and shouted loudly: "Ms. sir, it's not my fault. I came to catch the thief. Why did they catch me as a thief? Wu Song is an upright person." A good man would never do such a thing,"
Zhang Doujian also got angry and slammed the table hard and shouted: "Don't try to cheat on me, take him to his room and search for any stolen goods."
The soldiers took Wu Song into custody and went directly to his room. When they opened his willow box and looked at it, they found that the top was full of clothes, but underneath were some silver wine vessels and about one or two hundred taels of stolen goods.
When Wu Song saw it, he was dumbfounded and cried out in humiliation.
The soldiers carried the box out of the hall. Zhang Du watched it and cursed: "A thief joins the army. It's so rude. The stolen goods are being found in your box. How can you survive?" As the saying goes: "All living beings like to save others." Difficulty, 'It turns out that you look like a human, but you have the heart of a beast. Now that the stolen goods have been proven, there is nothing more to say."
After Wu Song heard this, he immediately knew that someone was deliberately trying to harm him. Although he was furious, he had nothing to say, so he had to endure it.
Supervisor Zhang sealed the stolen goods overnight and ordered them to be sent to a secret room for collection. Supervisor Zhang was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and shouted: "You are talking to this guy at dawn,"
Wu Song shouted that he was wronged, but he was not allowed to explain.
All the soldiers carried the stolen goods and sent Wu Song to the secret room for safekeeping. Zhang Doujian sent someone overnight to tell the prefect that the money had been spent on the commander Kong Mu.
At dawn the next day, the prefect was just sitting in the hall. The arrest and observation officers escorted Wu Song to the hall. All the stolen goods were carried in the hall. The confidants of Zhang Doujian's family brought Zhang Doujian's stolen documents and presented them to the prefect. The prefect gave the order They tied Wu Song up with a rope, and the jailer placed a bunch of interrogation tools in front of him. Wu Song was about to say something, and the prefect shouted: "This guy was originally a member of the Yuanliu army. How can he not be a thief? He must be a thief." I got interested at the sight of wealth, and since the stolen goods have been proved, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, just fight harder with me." The jailer picked up the batch of bamboo fragments and beat them down like raindrops.
Wu Song knew that this was not what he was talking about, so he had to give in and said, "On the 15th of this month, I saw a lot of silver and wine vessels in my official office, so I decided to take advantage of the situation at night to steal them for myself."
The magistrate said: "This guy just wanted to get rich. Needless to say, he took the shackles and nailed the prisoner." The prisoner took the long shackles, took the shackles off Wu, and took him to the death row and imprisoned him.
Wu Song went down to the prison and thought to himself: "I'm sorry, the guy from Zhang Dujian arranged such a trap to trap me. If I could earn my life and get out, but I didn't care about it, if my brother Shi Jin knew about it, I would definitely do well to them." Death, but... the mountains and rivers are far away, well, why not fly to Huazhou that day, and save so much trouble," the jailer jailed Wu Song in the prison. Everyone knew that this guy was very capable. So his feet were bound day and night, and his hands were fastened with wooden shackles, so there was no room for him to relax.
But the words said that someone had reported the matter to Shi En, and he hurriedly went to the city to discuss it with his father.
Old Guan Ying said: "It seems that Zhang Tuanlian avenged Jiang Menshen and ordered Zhang Dujian, but he devised this plan to frame Wu Song. He must have sent people to pay money and accepted bribes. Everyone used this If he is not allowed to comment, his life will definitely be harmed. Now that I think about it, he should not be punished. It is just a matter of asking the two houses to imprison him for a certain period of time, so that his life can be saved, but there is no discussion outside."
Shi En said: "Seeing that the prisoner named Kang has the best life with his children, I have no choice but to ask him what he can do."
The old Guan Ying said: "He is suing for you. If you don't save him, how long will it take?" Shi En sent one or two hundred taels of silver to Kangjie, but he did not return to prison. Shi En taught him His family sent someone to the prison to tell them.
Not long after, Kang Jieji returned and met with Shi En. Shi En told the previous incident one by one. Kang Jieji replied: "To be honest with my brother, this incident was all the fault of Zhang Doujian and Zhang Tuanlian." Two brothers with the same surname are sworn brothers. Seeing that Jiang Menshen is hiding in Zhang Tuanlian's house, he asked Zhang Tuanlian to buy this governor, and they came up with this plan. Everyone above and below them was bribed by Jiang Menshen. We all After accepting his money, the magistrate of the hall worked hard to make the decision with him, and Wu Song's life would definitely end. As long as Ye Kongmu refused, he did not dare to harm him. This man was loyal and upright and refused to harm ordinary people. , Wu Song is still not at a disadvantage, now I heard what brother Shi said, I am responsible for maintaining everything in prison. Now go and forgive him, and you will not teach him any hardship in the future, but you quickly sent someone to go, and only asked Ye Kong Eyes, ask him to cut off early, then his life can be saved,"
Shi En took one hundred taels of silver from Kang Jie Jie. Kang Jie Jie was willing to accept it, but he refused again and again before accepting it. Shi En said goodbye and went out, went back to the camp, and found another person who knew Ye Kongmu's agreement. He sent him a hundred taels of silver, just to make an urgent decision early. Ye Kongmu knew that Wu Song was a good man, and he had the intention to take good care of him, so he had kept the copywriter alive. However, the prefect accepted Zhang Dujian's bribe. He was told not to take it lightly. When Wu Song was brought to steal people's property, they could not be punished with death, so they postponed the punishment for each other. They only wanted to kill him in prison. Now that he had obtained this hundred taels of silver, he also knew that he was betraying Wu Song, but he gave this copywriting All the changes have been made lightly, and Wu Song has been spared as much as possible, and he only waits for the decision to be made after the limit is reached.
