Daming King of Punishment

"Brother Wu Ya, the imperial examination is coming soon, if we don't take action sooner, I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity." Bai Zhuo said eagerly, he didn't think this matter could continue to wait.

Song Wuya shook his head, ignored Bai Zhuo's words, but looked at Situ Wen and asked, "Wen'er, have you and Xiaohuan discovered anything?"

"This time the examiners of the imperial examination are very easy to investigate. You only need to find a few examiners in the city and ask them. But they didn't find anything. Except for the second-rank official in the court, the others They are all local officials nearby." Situ Wen shook her head and said, obviously she had found out about these people, but she didn't find anything.

Such a result was also expected by Song Wuya, after all, he only asked a few people, so what else could he find out.

Song Wuya nodded: "What's the name of the second-rank cabinet bachelor?"

"Zhu Yuanlong."

"Zhu Yuanlong?" Song Wuya frowned upon hearing the name.It's not because he knows this person, but because he has never heard of this name.

Seeing his frown, Situ Wen immediately said angrily: "What are you thinking about? Do you know anyone in this court official?"

Song Wuya looked embarrassed, not to mention, what Situ Wen said was absolutely correct.He really didn't know anyone in this dynasty.

It's no wonder that this is the result, like him, Bai Zhuo also doesn't know anyone.This is not because they don't make friends with these officials, but because they simply don't have this opportunity.According to common sense, it is completely unfair for them to be officials.Unlike these candidates, they were obtained through the imperial examination, but were directly rewarded by the emperor.

"Brother Wuya, we can't blame us for this!" Bai Zhuo also had a bitter look on his face: "Who told us not to get fame in a serious way, but appointed by the Holy One himself. If we get fame, we don't say anything else. The chief examiner at that time must have known it."

Speaking of this matter, Bai Zhuo wanted to complain.

"Hey! Come on, Brother Bai, this is nothing. Now we know that Zhu Yuanlong is this Enke, the chief examiner of the examination here. But we still don't know who this person is, so we have to ask more Fan." Song Wuya sighed, but he quickly raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "By the way, don't we still have a few guards secretly guarding? I don't know if they have come to the provincial capital now. If If you come, you can ask them, presumably they should know."

"That's right, they are much older than us, and they are the Holy Majesty's personal soldiers, so they must know about it." Bai Zhuo very much agreed with Song Wuya's proposal.

But then again, they forgot one important thing, whether these guards came here or not, even if they did, they couldn't contact them directly.

"Leaving aside this for the time being, what we are going to do now is still what Brother Bai said, but not now." After confirming everyone's affairs, Song Wuya said.He naturally cared about what Bai Zhuo said, but now there was another more important matter. "Today I paid the jailer and entered the prison, but I didn't find those who were arrested. Obviously, the purpose of arresting them is dishonorable, so I changed it to another secret place."

Song Wuya told a few people about his entry into the prison today, and then said to a few people: "Now we must investigate this clearly, and confirm where these captured prisoners are locked up. The place, that's what matters."

Bai Zhuo can also understand this point.However, the reason why Song Wuya said this was because he knew very well that if these people realized that their deeds had been exposed, they would do anything.

"Brother Bai, what do you think is the possibility that those arrested will survive after this incident?" Song Wuya asked Bai Zhuo a serious question.

His question frightened Bai Zhuo, but Bai Zhuo knew very well that Song Wuya was not joking.

"It's almost certain death!" Bai Zhuo pondered for a long time, unable to bear to say these words.

"That's right, so the most important thing now is not the Guanshan Restaurant. Those who entered the Guanshan Restaurant may have bribed the examiners there. But we may not be able to find anything if we go to investigate. If our identities are revealed , when those corrupt officials realize that their secrets are about to be exposed, not only are we in danger, but the first ones to be silenced by them are naturally those who were arrested." Song Wuya said with a serious face: "Once these actions If the children have no use value, they will be ruthlessly abandoned. At that time, they will face a dead end, so the most important thing before us now is to find their hiding places and rescue these children .”

"Yes, as long as these children are rescued, they can also be our witnesses to testify against them." Bai Zhuo nodded yes.

"Then let's have something to eat first, and then go out and look for clues." Song Wuya took a deep breath and explained the matter to them.

A few people nodded, and then ordered the waiter below to start preparing meals.It was already noon, and it was very lively below, Song Wuya still remembered what happened just now.Now his mind is spinning rapidly, he is wondering if he can use the power of these moves to find those caught moves together.

Although this matter is not difficult, it is still difficult to carry out.After all, the number of these moves is too large, and it is inevitable that they will reveal their purpose.In this case, not only will there be no way to save those who were arrested, but it may also bring about negative things.

When they finished their lunch, they came to the street again under the noon sun.

They split up and wandered the streets, but they didn't see the servants.In the morning, these yamen servants swaggered through the city, presumably many people would have seen their whereabouts.

"Uncle, how many people did the government officials arrest today?" Song Wuya was still following his old routine. He saw a tea stand on the side of the road, and there was a spacious street in front of him, thinking that the hawker at this tea stand must be will see.

Song Wuya sat down at the tea stall, greeted the elderly vendor, and asked a question.

The vendor came forward with a teapot, put a large bowl in front of Song Wuya, filled it with tea, shook his head and coughed twice: "Ahem! I didn't miss it! I don't know what these gestures are. What crime did you commit?"

It can be seen that, just as Song Wuya thought, the location of the tea stand is where you can see those yamen servants.These yamen servants have arrested many people, but they don't know how many Song Wuya have been arrested.Now he only knows that at least four people have been arrested, but he doesn't know if there will be any after that.

Song Wuya nodded at the tea stall owner, took a big sip from the tea bowl, wiped off the tea on his mouth, and asked, "When I woke up early in the morning, I saw they caught four , I don’t know if there will be any arrests later.”

"Not only, not more." The owner of the tea stall kept shaking his head, and kept saying, "At least this amount was caught."

He put down the teapot, stretched out his hands and looked at Song Wuya.

Seeing this action, Song Wuya was startled: "You always said that more than 20 people were arrested?"

"Yes! I didn't miss it." The owner of the tea stand said and picked up the teapot again.

Seeing this, Song Wuya immediately drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp, and put it on the table again.

After the tea stall owner continued the conversation for Song Wuya, Song Wuya asked again: "Then what crimes have you committed in these actions? Can you pass the court today?"

"That's not what us ordinary people should think about. The old man has been at the tea stand all day, watching the yamen servants arresting people, and never went to the court. I can't say, what happened to these actions in the end Mr. Provincial Government, you must be able to handle these cases. But you don’t have to worry, everyone in the city can understand this matter, just put some money in and it’s over.” The tea stall owner said indifferently. Said like this, it seems that this matter is not a big deal at all.

Hearing this, Song Wuya felt very awkward.What the tea stall owner said clearly meant something.Suddenly recalling the scene he saw in the prison today, Song Wuya immediately understood.

He thought to himself: "No wonder the cell is overcrowded. It seems that the people here don't commit many crimes, but most of them are caused by the governor."

In this provincial capital, there are many officials, big and small, and the governor of the provincial government is in charge of many cities below. I am afraid that there are many things to be busy every day, and there is still time to do these things, which is enough. of.

Thinking this way in his heart, Song Wuya immediately said again: "To tell you the truth, I was skeptical about this matter this morning. But when I returned to the inn just now, I found that my cousin who came with me to catch the exam , actually disappeared. I only found out after asking someone so that my cousin was arrested by the government. It is said that my cousin stole other people's money. You say this. Although our family is not considered wealthy , that’s a bit of a family background, and it’s not going to seek other people’s money.”

These were words that Song Wuya made up on the spot, but the effect was good. Hearing these words, the tea stall owner immediately showed pity.

"I said this young man, don't worry. Since the incident has come out, you can go to the government to inquire. Maybe they just want some money. This strong dragon will not overpower the local snake, and the hero will not suffer immediate losses. If he wants money Just give him some, lest your cousin suffer in it." The owner of the tea stall comforted Song Wuya, telling him to take this matter lightly.

Hearing these words, Song Wuya nodded, the sad expression on his face still undiminished.

"Hey! Yes, no matter what, I have to rescue my cousin first." Song Wuya nodded calmly, and after drinking the tea on the table, he asked the tea stall owner: "Tea money how much?"

"Two pennies."

"I'll give you the tea money, I have to go to the provincial government office first." Song Wuya put down the tea money, got up and walked out.

This inquiry was not useless. I didn't expect that more than 20 people were arrested this morning.He was a little curious in his heart, could it be that the reason why these 20 or so people were arrested was all because of stealing money?If this is the case, then things are too ridiculous.

In any case, it is still time to go to the government office to see if these arrested children have been sent to the court for interrogation.

But Song Wuya felt that this matter did not go so smoothly.He still has a clear picture of what happened in their inn this morning.The guy who planted the blame left the inn swaggeringly, and wandered on the street, looking at ease.

If the arrested candidate really wanted to appear in court, how could he, the plaintiff, not attend?

Thinking about this question in his heart, Song Wuya came to the yamen of the provincial government. As he expected, the yamen was quiet and there was no movement at all, so it could be seen that those candidates were not brought here.

Although it is quick to talk, it is impossible to honestly admit these actions, and more than 20 people may not be able to finish it in one morning.

"Brother yamen servant, has the son who was arrested this morning been brought to court?"

Song Wuya stepped forward and asked the yamen guard guarding the door about this matter.
