Never come home late at night, there will always be an even later one.
At midnight, Qin Dewei and his two followers carried Xia Mansion lanterns, walked through the city in the dark, and returned to the Sanwu Guild Hall in the East City.
Qin Dewei couldn't help but said to Ma Er: "I've had enough! Let's forget about the big event tomorrow. After tomorrow, we must move to the West City!"
In fact, Qin Dewei is also quite surprised. Why didn't Master Xia ask him for advice? After Master Feng wrote a confession to praise Huo Tao, what should he do in the future?
But don’t ask if you don’t want to ask. Maybe Master Xia’s teachings are so profound that he doesn’t even need to give personal guidance, so it’s better not to talk about what’s simple and what’s profound!
In the lobby of Sanwu Guild Hall, Qin Dewei saw Simin, the bookkeeper of Dongchang again, and couldn't help but think of some of the social beasts who ran for clients in his previous life.
Then he asked sympathetically: "Are you still waiting at this late hour? Are you being urged by your boss to persuade me again?"
Si Min asked feebly: "Have you never obeyed? The factory boss said that as long as you are willing to cooperate, he will give you a huge fortune! If you fail to succeed in your career, you can work in the East Factory!"
"No." Qin Dewei replied simply.
"Oh." Si Min was too lazy to say anything, so he got up and left. It was already so late, and the social workers had no enthusiasm to work overtime. After finishing the work, they hurried back to sleep.
Qin Dewei didn't care and went to sleep.
According to the plan, tomorrow I will take Feng Xingke to play the Dengwen drum outside the right gate of Chang'an. This is the important thing.
The next morning, Si Min reported the situation to the factory manager Bi Yun, saying that he had lobbied Qin Dewei in every possible way until midnight.
It's just that Qin Dewei refuses to obey, and there is nothing he can do.
Bi Yun frowned. Is this road blocked? Is it impossible to open a gap from Qin Dewei and overturn Huo Tao and Maixiang's case?
Sitting under Bi Yun was a young military attache in his early twenties. Si Min's report aroused the young military attache's interest, so he asked Bi Yun: "Is this matter so important?"
Bi Yun explained a few words. If he could rescue Huo Tao, he would be sharing the emperor's worries. If he could rescue Mai Xiang, he would be helping the famous eunuch Qin solve his problems. Therefore, this deal is worth doing.
The young military attache's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said domineeringly: "This guy surnamed Qin is just a foreign scholar. If he dares not to cooperate, we will arrest him!"
Bi Yun had no choice but to explain a few more words, "This man is a person who has followers and help, and his identity is sensitive. Without the emperor's edict, our factory guards will not arrest such a person without authorization."
Although the factory guards have great power and great reputation, most of the time, they really don’t just arrest whoever they want.
Unless the other party is a common person, or encounters a particularly chaotic era, such as the Wei Zhongxian era, or the early Zhengde period of the previous dynasty.
The young military attache laughed "haha" and said: "Of course I know these truths, but as the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. How many worlds can this little show from out of town have seen?
As far as I know, many literati are willing to accept the tough and not the soft. There is no need to really arrest him, just put on a show of intimidation, and maybe he will obey after being frightened."
If it had been anyone else, Bi Yun would have reprimanded him long ago. But to this young military attache, Bi Yun had always been very polite and said with a wry smile: "Isn't your method just child's play?"
The young military attache also wanted to be active and said eagerly: "I have nothing else to do today, so let me give it a try."
Bi Yun was speechless, this young man was the only one qualified to do such nonsense.
That's all, if he wants to do it, just do it. If you don't try, it's useless. Maybe it will work.
This young military attache's surname was Lu Mingbing. He was selected as a martial arts scholar last year, and then directly served as Jinyi Weili Xingqianhu. His working place was Fusi Imperial Prison in Beizhen.
My little brother has been on a smooth journey since childhood, and his capital beyond his abilities is zero. As soon as he started working last year, he was entrusted with the important task of trying Feng En's case.
In the end, nothing was found in the trial, and Feng En was "forced" to be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. This is probably the only setback in Lu Bing's life so far.
Today Lu Bing went to Dongchang to find Mr. Bi. He didn't expect to run into such a thing. Because of the setback in Feng En's case, his enthusiasm increased again.
Many young people who have never experienced social beatings just like to join in the fun and express themselves.
But Bi Yun, the factory owner, didn’t want to stop Lu Bing. Who knew that Lu Bing’s mother was the nanny of Emperor Jiajing?
So this person really has the capital to cause mischief, and as long as he doesn't break the rules, he'll be fine.
Lu Bing took the manpower and went straight to the Sanwu Guild Hall, but came to nothing. The person in charge said that Qin Dewei went to the right gate of Chang'an today.
Then Lu Bing walked across the imperial city to the right gate of Chang'an. This journey was much closer than ordinary people going around the imperial city.
The steward of the Sanwu Guild Hall did not lie. Qin Dewei was indeed standing outside the right door of Chang'an at this moment.
This gate is probably the most important gate in the imperial city, or it is the most frequently used gate and the gate most familiar to the civil and military ministers. The so-called "Dengwen Drum" for complaining in the novel is also located outside the gate.
Qin Dewei looked at the Imperial City Gate not far away, pointed to the roadside, and said to Feng Xingke beside him: "Have you memorized all the lines I taught you? You will kneel here in a while and shout it loudly."
Feng Xingke nodded nervously: "I remember it now, but I'm afraid I'll forget it again."
Qin Dewei asked: "Why?"
Feng Xingke lowered his head and said, "I'm a little embarrassed."
Qin Dewei sighed and patiently comforted him: "I know it's not easy for you.
But when it comes to being an actor, no, to show yourself to others, the first thing you need to do is to overcome your shame."
Feng Xingke was still a little confused.
Qin Dewei continued: "No matter what, don't do your best and put all unnecessary emotions away!
At this moment, think about your father in prison, how much pain he has experienced, and how miserable prison life is!
Don’t you want to see him as soon as possible? Don’t you want to reunite father and son as soon as possible? With this belief, what else can’t you let go of?”
Feng Xingke's eyes gradually became determined, and Qin Dewei patted his shoulder happily to show encouragement.
Today is the day of the court meeting. At this time, the court meeting broke up and officials began to come out of the right gate of Chang'an in twos and threes.
Qin Dewei waited for a while and saw that the flow of people increased, then he patted Feng Xingke on the shoulder and said, "Come on, young man! Kneel down firmly and don't fall down!"
Feng Xingke couldn't help but ask again: "Didn't you say that we want to play the Dengwen drum? Can't we just play the drum?"
Qin Dewei said without hesitation: "Just beat the drum a few times, and then you will be sent directly to the Metropolitan Procuratorate by the officers and soldiers on duty!
How many people can see such a small process? How much public opinion can it generate?
That’s why I decided to let you kneel here during the peak period after today’s court meeting, so that others can see what a filial son you are!
Wait until noon, when there will probably be fewer people, and then go play drums! Then go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go through the procedures and ask the elders to write letters for the filial son."
Mr. Qin Xiao's script was so perfect that the lead actor Feng Xingke had nothing to say and had to move forward step by step to the designated place.
