Chapter 98 A sad night
Yuan Bin left, just like when he came, he came and left again. If nothing unexpected happens, he will bring Shi Heng’s reply tomorrow.
Shang Lu also left, but when he left, he left a sentence for Xu Bai: "If Shi Heng is not stupid, he should agree to these conditions. When will your appointment from the Nanzhen Fushi Department be brought down, and when will you let Shi Biao take them away!"
What he said was so sure that Xu Bai could not even say anything suspicious except nodding.
It was not until Shang Lu left that he remembered what King Yi had told him. However, he thought that the other party had just negotiated with Yuan Bin. In the eyes of such a person, he was probably aware of the little thoughts of King Yi. If he would not mention this tonight, it would not be too late to mention it when the matter was resolved.
He felt that the other party would agree.
Shang Lu was the second civil servant of the Ming Dynasty that he had officially come into contact with, the first was Xu Youzhen. Interestingly, Shangluo was a cabinet walker, but now Xu Youzhen is a cabinet grandson. Both of them are considered top figures among civil servants, and their style and ability to do things left a deep impression on Xu Bai.
One is shameless, the other is cherishing feathers; the other is smooth, and the other is straightforward; but these two scholars are quite capable, and there is no need to mention talent. One is a three-year-old and the other is a Jinshi, and he has a lot of knowledge. Both of them have been tempered by the officialdom for 10 or 20 years and are proficient in the way of becoming an official.
The only difference is that the two people have different ways of being human.
He could learn a lot from these two people, learn to be a human being from Shang Lu, and learn to be an official from Xu Youzhen. These things are all things that he, a newbie who has just entered the officialdom, lacks.
This night, he spent the night in the Nanzhen Fushi. When it was dawn and the whole yamen became lively, he was sure that things would not go back and forth, and then he took a short snub.
This night was not because he lived so hard alone, and many people were like him and couldn't sleep at night.
Yuan Bin accompanied Ha Ming to Shiheng's Duke Zhongguo's mansion and took Xu Bai's request over. Shiheng just had a gloomy face and sent them away after hearing what they said.
Although the two left, they were worried all night, for fear that someone would suddenly report that Shi Heng and his family had already confiscated the Jinyiwei of the Nanzhen Fushi and the Beizhen Fushi, at least two subordinates, like their two immediate bosses, were ready to deal with possible accidents.
Zhao Huchen didn't sleep for long. Among the bosses of the Nanzhen Fushi, there are many punishments that can destroy people's will but not hurt people's flesh. After Shi Heng gave his confession, he could not move for the time being, but the six constables who were accomplices were in great trouble.
He had a lot of fun this night.
Of course, Shi Heng, as an audience, had a hard time having a night. Seeing Zhao Huchen rectifying the constables in front of him, and seeing them all deteriorating as if they were alive, his pants had never been dry all night. The malicious eyes that Zhao Huchen glanced at him from time to time made him tighten his anus at any time, for fear that these means of rectifying people would fall on his head.
At this moment, he would not clamor and threaten these Jinyiwei. Even in his heart, he had already secretly vowed to kill all the guys in front of him after he went out. He even arranged various ways of death for these Jinyiwei in his mind. However, that night, he was as obedient as a little sheep.
Muruo had a very difficult night.
Although she was placed in a public housing in the yamen from the prison, it was much more comfortable than the prison, but her eyes were already crying red and swollen, how could she sleep peacefully?
In order to protect herself from being stolen by those evil people, her father was beaten to death by those evil people. From then on, she was just alone in this world.
If it weren't for the official named Hu Ye to rescue her, she would have been afraid that she would be worse than death at this moment.
Master Hu was working in this yamen, and, after hearing from the officials outside, Master Hu had already captured the master behind the evil people, and had now put the bad guy in prison.
The government office and prison should have been gloomy and scary, but after hearing this news, Mu Ruo felt that this place was not gloomy at all. She had already believed that no one in this world was a good person. When she saw the officials outside the door, she felt that God was still fair.
There are many bad people in this world, but there are also many good people, such as Hu Ye and his companions, who are all good people.
"I'm not a good person!" Zhao Huchen said to her with a smile: "I am a bad person. Brother Xu is also a bad person here. However, we are more evil than the evil people you think, otherwise, how can we cure these evil people!"
"Then you are good people!" Mo Ruo shook his head stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, just do whatever you think!" Zhao Huchen will take out a piece of paper: "Your father's case is being handled in the yamen, but the bad guy has a big backing, so don't worry, you press a handprint on it, it's stored in the yamen. Without you, the mistress, the case will not be considered in accordance with the rules!"
Mo Ruo pressed his handprint without hesitation.
"If you don't even look at it, aren't you afraid of being a contract for sale?" Xu Bai smiled gently and signaled Zhao Huchen to send the paper for the archive.
"Brother Xu and Brother Hu saved me and helped my father seek justice. Even if it was a contract, what's wrong!" Mu Ruo looked at Xu Bai firmly: "If Brother Xu and Brother Hu don't dislike me for being stupid, I will be a cow or a horse..."
"Okay!" Xu Bai interrupted him: "It's not about selling your body contract to save you, nor is it about your repayment!"
The girl choked at these words and bit her lip, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Before the case is over, you should live in the yamen first!" Xu Bai said softly: "I'm afraid there is some danger outside. I can still protect you here. If I'm outside, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you!"
"I understand!" Mu Ruo nodded: "I will do whatever Brother Xu says! I only ask Brother Xu to never let go of the murderers who beat my father to death!"
"Yeah!" Xu Bai nodded and looked around the room: "Look at what is the cost. If you turn around and tell me outside, you will be sent to you. If you are bored, you can walk behind, but you must not leave the yamen!"
Mu Ruo nodded obediently.
Xu Bai looked at her weak appearance and sighed slightly in his heart. The girl had a delicate face and looked like a beautiful baby. Especially this pitiful temperament, combined with her face, she gave people a feeling of a little white flower in the wind, and couldn't help but feel pity.
Fortunately, I am still young, and a few years older, it is awesome.
Such a beauty, born in a commoner's house, can only be said to be his father's misfortune and her misfortune.
