Genyue

As he spoke, he deliberately stepped on Wan Jinhua's belt.After all, Wan Jinhua was raised in brocade clothes and jade food, and he was wearing not only silk and satin, but also good materials. Today he was wearing a solid-colored black robe, and the two footprints were very obvious on it.

The surrounding sergeants also laughed.

Several family members stood far behind the courtyard pillars, not daring to come over.

It's rare that Wan Jinhua is so tolerant at his young age.His hands were clenched into fists and stuck to his sides, his veins were straight and he was trembling slightly.

Seeing that Wan Jinhua didn't respond, the yamen servant felt annoyed.

At this time, the yamen servant whose nose had been knocked crooked came to his senses, feeling that he had lost face, and seeing Wan Jinhua knocked to the ground, he was itching with hatred.He said to the other four people: "I was ordered to come here today to share the worries of the Holy One, but this person doesn't know what to do. It's a small thing to offend us, but it's a big thing to get in the way of official affairs. I think this person probably doesn't want to sacrifice the stone. With the imperial court, selfishness is hidden, disloyalty and audacity!" The man said as he raised the yellow seal in his hand, which was exactly what Wan Jinhua thought he was going to hit Gen Yue.

As he said that, he folded the iron chain in half, and immediately pulled it down on Wan Jinhua's body, and he immediately became popular.Wan Jinhua's blood splattered on the stone, like burning red plums in the snow.

Several other people also picked up their own guys, and they were about to beat Wan Jinhua to death.

At this moment, suddenly, a young man in white threw himself on Wan Jinhua, trying to block the damage for him.

Including a few yamen servants, no one could clearly see where this person came from. After a few moments, this person disappeared again, as if he had never existed.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.The yamen servants didn't dare to fight any more, saying that they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and they even protected Wan Jinhua with their bodies.All were shocked.

This matter was subsequently reported to Hezhi County.

He Zhixian was also surprised when he heard about it.Feeling scary on the one hand, but also thinking of an opportunity on the other, I don't know what to do for a while.In the evening, he talked about this matter with Mrs. Zhou, and the two of them made up their minds, and suddenly they had a brilliant idea.

This Baisha County belongs to Xiuzhou, and the immediate boss of Hezhi County is Wen Zongyi, the magistrate of Xiuzhou, but this person's brother-in-law has a lot of background, he is the fourth son of Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, and Cai Yu, a scholar of Baohe Palace.That Cai Yu turned out to be the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had just been promoted to a Bachelor of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, and he was the celebrity in front of the emperor.

He Zhi County's calculations were sound, and he wanted to report the matter to the Zhizhou Lord for a decision. In this way, not only would he please the Zhizhou, but Wen Zongyi would definitely report the matter to Cai Yu, which would be another step forward. .Besides, with the approval of Master Zhizhou, the risk is much smaller. If the sky falls against the tall man, it can be said that what happened is Lord Wen's intention.

Zhou was a bit worried: "If anything happens, do you think that Zhizhou will let you go?"

Hezhi County didn't take it seriously, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Zhizhou Prefecture.

The fourth time Jin Hua was imprisoned

Last time, when I mentioned Hezhi County, I didn't take it seriously. I wrote a letter and sent it to the Zhizhou Prefecture.

Let's talk back to Wanfu.

Strange things happened that day, the yamen servants ran away, and the officers and soldiers also dispersed, but no one thought of Mr. Wan who was knocked to the ground.Naturally, Wan Jinhua also saw the person protecting him - none other than Gen Yue.

However, after that day, he never saw him again.Let him search all over the house like crazy, and ask all over the street.nowhere.

There is an old family member who has taken care of him since he was a child, and advised him to run away.

Wan Jinhua smiled wryly, thinking that in this family, this is the only person who treats him sincerely.On the contrary, the others were worried that he would hurt themselves after he ran away, and it would be considered as merciful not to take him down and turn him over to the government.

He shook his head.It's not that he doesn't know what he might face if he stays here, but that he knows that if he leaves, the Wan family will collapse completely.

Besides, he is still waiting.

Wait for Gen Yue.

A few days later, before Gen Yue arrived, Wan Jinhua waited for a team of officials.The leader was still the yamen servant who had his nose crooked last time, and he still seemed to hold a grudge.

When the yamen servant saw Wan Jinhua, he didn't say much, and ordered someone to tie Wan Jinhua up.

After tying it up, he said to the crowd in Wan Mansion who were cowering and watching: "According to the order of the magistrate, arrest Wan Jinhua and put him in prison."

But it turned out that Wen Zongyi received the news from Baisha County, and he really told Cai He about it. Cai He was very happy and urgently ordered He Feng to transport the stone to the capital immediately.

The county magistrate received an order from his immediate superior, and was waiting for someone to go down to work, when he was reminded that the Wan family still had such a thorn in his head.

He Zhixian didn't care too much: "The one surnamed Wan? Arrest him and put him in jail."

Wan Jinhua was put in shackles and pushed into the cell.

No matter how many rules there are outside, there will not be as many rules as prisons.

After being stripped of his clothes and shackled, Wan Jinhua was taken into a cell.

There is no window in this room, and it is pitch-black. We can only get a rough idea of ​​it with the help of the light from the corridor.The ground was covered with hay, but it was soft and greasy, and one could tell it hadn't been changed for a long time.The ground is damp and there is some water seepage on one wall.Against another wall, there is a stone bed.

Other than that, nothing else.

There is only Wan Jinhua alone in this cell for the time being, but the left and right are very lively.

As soon as the jailer left, voices greeted Wan Jinhua one after another, asking who he was, how he got in here, what's going on outside, and so on.

Wan Jinhua himself was still in a mess, and he didn't pay attention to others at all.The others obviously saw Wan Jinhua's reaction too much, and they didn't think it was strange, but reminded him: "Tonight is your first night here, and you will feel better!"

Wan Jinhua sat cross-legged on the stone bed—it was fine after warming it up—for a moment he wondered what would happen in the mansion. Although he had made arrangements in advance, he didn’t know whether he would be able to implement them after he was imprisoned; For a while, he thought about how weak he was; for a while, he wondered how Gen Yue was doing, where he was, and what happened.

The day passed quickly.

During the period, the jailer came to deliver the food, and Wan Jinhua lost his appetite after just one glance.There is only a piece of stuff that I don't know whether it is a steamed bun or a cake. It is gray and black, and it has no heat at all. Rotten vegetable leaves.

Wan Jinhua had long expected it, even if it was so, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Like an old monk sitting still, he closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, finally sighed in his heart, and brought the food.He wants to live.Gen Yue must still be waiting for him somewhere.

Actually, not everyone eats so badly.In such a small world, some people eat fish and meat, and some people drink and have fun.But that's what Wan Jinhua gradually learned later.

At this time, Wan Jinhua just felt that this body was really inconvenient and tiring.Even with his body, he still felt a little overwhelmed, not to mention that he didn't eat enough, and the place where he sat was dirty and cold.

When it was time to light the lamps, when he thought the day would pass like this, a hunchbacked jailer suddenly appeared outside the cell.

The jailer asked Wan Jinhua if he was feeling well, but Wan Jinhua didn't answer.

The hunchbacked jailer seemed to expect him to be uncomfortable, smiled mysteriously, and said to him, "If you want to be comfortable, it's easy. Look over there."

The jailer opened the cell door, and Wan Jinhua saw a side cell.Then he said: "It's much more comfortable there. There is a bed and a quilt, and the sleep is warm and solid, and you don't need to wear this." He pouted and gestured for the shackles on Wan Jinhua's body.

Wan Jinhua remained unmoved and looked at the jailer vigilantly.

The jailer thought that he was nervous about something else, and explained, "It's not a serious crime for you. If you don't wear this at night, you won't get into trouble."

"I'm afraid, this room is not so easy to enter, is it?" Wan Jinhua asked while sitting in one posture.

The jailer said: "He is a sensible man. A wise man does not speak dark words. Listen carefully. You need [-] Wen to enter the house, [-] Wen to go to the shop, and [-] Wen to remove the shackles. If you have other needs , can also be negotiated; can also be a long package." (Note)

If it wasn't for the wrong place, Wan Jinhua would have wanted to laugh.He is a businessman, but he has never seen such a business. It is comparable to taxation.

"How?" asked the jailer.

"No." Wan Jinhua replied: "Even if I want to live in your house, I don't have the money. But if you are willing to return the clothes I wore today, I can live there for at least a few days."

"Pfft—I don't know what's good or bad!" The jailer understood it, and was a little ashamed. He closed the door and left. Before leaving, he said harshly: "I will let you know the rules here in a few days!"

Wan Jinhua stayed in prison for several days, until after the Dragon Boat Festival, no one came to see him, let alone take care of him.Therefore, he has been eating inferior dishes and sleeping on a stone bed, and he has lost a lot of weight in more than ten days.

Wan Jinhua lost a lot of weight, but He Zhixian couldn't gain a lot of weight either.

Since receiving the order from Wenzhizhou, Hezhi County has started to make calculations.

Linhai in Baisha County, if you want to send such precious stones to the capital, you have to get a decent big boat, right?In order to show solemnity, why not use a new ship?

This is not only his meaning, but Wen Zongyi's meaning, but Mr. Wen's meaning is also He Fengzhi's meaning - the same.Then, the next question is the new ship.

Since the matter is urgent, it is obviously too late to start shipbuilding now, and it is more appropriate to transfer the ship that is about to be built first.Since as
