After arriving in the capital, Lu Bozhou lived in the house purchased by Teacher Wang in the capital.
The house is quiet and peaceful.
The small courtyard was used by Teacher Wang for his family's sons to prepare for the imperial examinations.
There is a vegetable garden in the yard.
We usually raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep.
There is no need to buy vegetables or meat, as seasonings and food are all prepared half a month in advance.
After Lu Bozhou and others entered the courtyard, they locked the gate from the inside and would not open it until the day of the exam.
Lu Cunren waited in the inn for five days, but there was no news.
Impatient.
The people sent to monitor the Wang family's door were also somewhat discouraged:
"The courtyard door has not been opened yet. I really don't know which one is Lu Bozhou."
The day after tomorrow is the exam day.
Lu Cunren thought about it and could only try his best to describe Lu Bozhou's appearance and characteristics: "Handsome, thin, and with unclear eyesight."
Lu Cunren took out a tinderbox and said, "Throw it into his basket tomorrow."
"If you are caught, do you know what to do?" Lu Cunren looked at the observer coldly.
The observer smiled apologetically: "I used to have an affair with Lu Bozhou's wife, Li. Li looked down on Lu Bozhou because he was blind, so she gave me this tinder and asked me to throw it into Lu Bozhou's basket."
"As long as Lu Bozhou fails to pass the exam, Li will agree to live with me forever."
Lu Cunren nodded slightly, "Go ahead."
Regardless of whether this person will be caught or not, Lu Bozhou will definitely be ruined this time.
Not only did he want to disgrace Lu Bozhou and make him unable to take part in the imperial examinations forever, he also wanted Li Jinglan to be buried with him.
As for rumors, Li Jinglan will never be able to clear herself of them as long as there is any trace of them.
After the monitor left Lu Cunren, he walked home humming a song with two hundred dollars in his arms.
As soon as I got home and called out "Mom", I saw several men coming out of the house.
"Who are you?" The observer took a step back and wanted to run.
As soon as I turned around, I saw the door was blocked by a tall man.
"You? Who are you?" The observer looked horrified.
The tall and big man is the head of the yamen runners in Nanli County.
The few people in the room were naturally the yamen runners under his command.
When Li Jinglan was looking for a team leader that day, it wasn't just a simple matter of asking him to find someone to guard the house.
He also asked him to follow Lu Bozhou all the way and protect Lu Bozhou secretly.
He was also asked to send someone else to monitor Lu Cunren.
"I am your great-grandfather." The head of the yamen runners reached out and took the fire starter from the monitor's arms.
After careful study, he opened the lower half of the tinderbox.
A piece of paper covered with tiny handwriting was revealed.
"Son of a bitch!" The head of the bailiffs could not help cursing, "You are carrying it for the imperial examination?"
Taking advantage of the imperial examination will end your chance of passing the examination!
In mild cases, the punishment is only to stop taking the imperial examination for a few years, while in severe cases, the offender may be banned from taking the examination for life.
The head of the yamen guards looked at the monitor with cold eyes, "Besides this, what else did Lu Cunren ask you to do?"
Upon hearing that they even knew Lu Cunren's name, the observer realized that the truth had been revealed and told the truth.
The squad leader gasped.
The Lu family is not only cruel but also evil.
The head of the bailiff squad raised his hand and slapped him, "You did whatever Lu Cunren told you to do? If he told you to kill your parents, would you do it?"
The house was in such a mess, but the voices of his parents were not heard. The observer asked tremblingly:
"What did you do to my father and mother?"
The head of the yamen runners sneered, "They are having a great time eating and drinking tea in the Nanli County Jail. Take five taels of silver and go to the Nanli County Jail to take them home."
When the surveillance officer heard that his parents were taken to Nanli County Jail, his eyes widened with fear.
When the observer heard that it would take five taels of silver to redeem the person, he felt like crying but had no tears left.
The yamen runners didn't need any reason to arrest people, they could just make up a crime.
Even if his parents die in prison, no one will care.
tell?
You can't win the lawsuit.
The bailiffs wanted to convict him easily.
If an unemployed vagrant like him goes to the government office to sue the officials.
You have to be beaten with a hundred sticks first.
Ask about the case after the beating.
If he had known that he would offend the yamen runners, he would not have taken Lu Cunren's job.
Common people like them are not afraid of officials because the officials never look at them straight in the eye.
Even if they bumped into the officials, they would pretend to be magnanimous and wave their hands to let them go, to show that they loved the people like their own children.
But he didn't dare to provoke the yamen runners.
Because the yamen runners will really take action against them.
The head of the yamen guards saw that the boy was frightened and sneered, "Go."
They could not convict Lu Cunren until the frame-up was actually carried out.
Anyway, I already know what Lu Cunren is going to do. I will inform Lu Bozhou later and ask him to be on guard.
After the head of the yamen runners finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several yamen runners in plain clothes followed him out.
A yamen runner passed by and took out two hundred coins from the monitor's arms.
After going out, the yamen runner who was searching for money handed two hundred coins to the squad leader.
The team leader didn't take the money, but just laughed and scolded: "Are you obsessed with money? Divide the money among you."
The yamen runner chuckled: "It would be a shame to God if we don't pick up the money that falls from the sky."
He put the money in his arms, ready to divide it after he got on the bus.
Then he leaned over and said, "Boss, Zhang Cheng's mother raised the ransom price to thirty taels. Why don't you want this silver? Thirty taels is not a small amount."
The head of the yamen runners slapped him on the head and said, "Get out of here, you ignorant fellow."
I heard that the Furong noodle workshop gave 20% of the profits to the government.
This means that everyone in the yamen will be able to get some money from the workshop in the future.
Who would be so blind as to look for Li Jinglan's affairs?
In the past, someone in the government office would occasionally ask about Zhang Cheng, but haven’t you seen that no one cares about him now?
Even if Zhang Cheng's mother gave him a hundred taels of silver, it would not work.
Because Zhang Cheng's mother couldn't bribe everyone in the yamen.
The head of the yamen runners first went to Wang's residence to tell them that Lu Cunren wanted to harm Lu Bozhou, and then rode back to Nanli County at full speed.
Li Jinglan took the fire stick, read the article inside, and listened to the head of the yamen runners tell the whole story from beginning to end.
I was so angry that my fingertips were shaking.
The head of the yamen runners bowed and asked, "Madam, what should we do with this fire stick?"
Li Jinglan thought for a while and said, "Leave it to the county magistrate."
If Lu Bozhou was just an ordinary person, of course he would kill Lu Cunren to avenge his enemies.
But Lu Bozhou is not.
This matter cannot be handled privately. If it is dug up by ministers in the future, it will be a thorn in Lu Bozhou's face.
Hand it over to the county magistrate and let the officials handle it.
The head of the yamen runners bowed and said, "I will return to the county yamen immediately."
Li Jinglan took out two taels of silver and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I will reward you when my husband comes back."
In other words, in addition to these two taels, Lu Bozhou will give another thank-you gift.
The head of the yamen runners was very satisfied and said goodbye with a smile.
On the way back, a yamen runner shook his head and said, "She is too easy to talk to. Lu Cunren wanted to ruin her reputation of chastity, but she didn't even say a word of anger."
"If I were her, I would rush to the capital first, pick up Lu Cunren and beat him up, and then vent my anger before doing anything else."
Easy to talk to?
The head of the bailiff squad laughed secretly in his heart.
The matter has been brought to the attention of the county magistrate, and you still think it's easy to talk.
He didn't know what Li Jinglan was going to do next.
But he knew it.
Based on the evidence in his hands, Lu Cunren was in danger.
