Wang Yu, the "former" magistrate of Shimen County, was released from prison by Wang Dianshi. He was dressed in prison clothes and looked miserable. Wang Dianshi said that the house in the backyard of the yamen had been occupied by Zhang Ning's people, so he could only settle Wang Yu in the county yamen.

The house where the officials live; it is also said that Mr. Liang is waiting in the city and has not yet left.

Wang Yu, who was an official in other places, did not own real estate in Shimen County. The backyard of the county government office was where he lived. Now he had a home and could not return. His spirit was listless and his expression was depressed, so he declined Wang Dianshi's offer to settle him in the county government office.

Because of his kindness, he planned to go out of the Yamen to look for Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang and others were brought from his hometown and could always help him.

Wang Dianshi hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his bag and advised: "Don't laugh at this trivial thing. Why don't you change your clothes first before going out? Hey, we can be considered colleagues. Seeing that our Lord has fallen to such a state, everyone

I feel bad... Don't blame everyone, Duke Cheng is a powerful person in the dynasty, and he has military power. Who dares to contradict him? In fact, several of his colleagues also kindly begged for mercy, but they are soft-spoken. How can Duke Cheng listen to us?

of……"

"I'm just a sinner now, don't call me Lord." Wang Yu's tone was unkind, but he didn't say anything bad. Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of Wang Dianshi and his gang, as they wanted to take the blame for themselves before.

His thoughts were clear; but after all, the officials did not intend to harm others, so there was no talk of hatred. The object of hatred was Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo, and Wang Yu wanted to eat the flesh of this villain alive all the time.

But after the anger and hatred, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he was giving up on himself, because he, a small scholar, could not do anything about someone who was the Duke of the country. For the first time, he felt that reading the books of sages was in vain, and it was better to read them as a child.

Ignorant and trained in martial arts, he is capable of splashing blood with five steps like the ancient knights... The hatred of killing his mother and the hatred of taking his wife happened to him at the same time. Anyone with a sense of shame will also have a strong desire

Shame.

Wang Yu's voice was a little choked and he said: "I am a sinner to begin with, why should I avoid the prison clothes? Say goodbye."

After that, he strode toward the door with his dirty, smelly long hair and prison clothes.

After leaving the yamen, he saw Master Liang and a few servants waiting for him outside, with a certain sedan chair prepared beside him. Perhaps Master Liang got the news from the officials or subordinates of the yamen. The guest surnamed Liang was named Liang Yan.

Of course they are not poor. Although the county magistrate's salary is paid out of his own pocket, and the county magistrate's annual salary does not exceed forty-five taels of silver, they do not rely on their salary to make a living; even if the county officials are not blatantly corrupt | bribery | amassing money, normal bad rules are

It's enough for them to spend.

As soon as Liang Yan and several slaves saw Wang Zhixian, they knelt down and cried, extremely sad. On the contrary, Wang Yu only shed a few tears and made no sound. Wang Yu stepped forward to help them up and asked: "

Mr. Liang, have you buried my mother, my wife and our children?"

"We only set up a royal hall, and the ashes are enshrined in it. They have not been buried yet, because the old slave thought that the young master wanted to send the ashes back to his hometown for burial." Liang Yan replied choked with sobs, which did not affect his smooth speech.

Wang Yu was slightly surprised and said: "Has it been cremated? Was it Zhu Yong's people who did it?"

Liang Yan nodded, bowed his head and responded with a "hmm". Wang Yu stopped asking any more questions, and it was easy to think that Zhu Yong's people just wanted to destroy the corpses and eliminate the evidence. Although logically there was no one

They are willing to investigate Zhu Yong, but after all, it is not a glorious matter, so they still have to cover it up.

"Originally, I just wanted to rent a house, but the person who rented the house knew that we were going to set up a mourning hall, so he didn't want to rent it out, so he had to buy a house on the east side of Xianqian Street." Liang Yan continued.

.

Wang Yu sighed: "I have fallen into this situation. Mr. Liang has done so many things for me at the risk of his life. Our friendship has been exhausted. You can leave on your own. There is no way out if you follow me."

Liang Yan knelt down again and said with a sad face: "This old slave has been loyal to the Wang family for decades. What did he do wrong? Why did the young master want to expel him?"

Wang Yu didn't want to explain. It was obvious... that he was alone and would harm these people by asking them to stay. He said dejectedly: "Take me to the mourning hall first."

A group of people carried Wang Yu to the house where the mourning hall was set up. The hemp ropes and white clothes had been prepared early. Wang Yu took a bath, changed clothes, put on hemp and mourned, and went to the mourning hall, saying that he would keep vigil for his late mother.

Liang Yan had already cried at the door of the Yamen. At this time, his expression had returned to normal, and he reminded in a low voice: "I talk too much, but when something like this happened, the young master must fulfill his filial piety, and what he should do is not to watch the funeral.

But for revenge?"

"Revenge?" Wang Yu had a very complicated look in his eyes, "Have you thought of a way? How can you take revenge?"

"No matter how you take revenge, let's talk about whether you should take revenge. Do you think the young master should take revenge?" Liang Yan said, "To fulfill your filial piety, you must avenge the old lady; for justice, Gong Yangyan, if the father is not punished, the son will not be punished."

Revenge; if a son does not take revenge, he is not a son. Duke Cheng is cruel and unethical. He relies on his power and lacks the law of the king. It is a just act to decide to kill him."

The depressed Wang Yu suddenly lost control of his emotions. He grabbed Liang Yan hard and said, "How to do it, sir, teach me."

Liang Yan said: "Now that the young master is a criminal of the imperial court, he has no power here and cannot return to his hometown. What you should do now is to meet the third prince of Emperor Jianwen as soon as possible... Let's not care whether this person is the third prince or not, but he

He has soldiers capable of fighting and has easily captured three states and counties. He is the most powerful and trustworthy person here; and Zhu Yong is still in Huguang, and the third prince is dealing with him. The young master can assist the third prince.

, if he defeats Zhu Yong, it will be considered our revenge."

Wang Yu wiped away his tears and said seriously: "Can the Third Prince succeed?"

Liang Yan said: "The old slave secretly speculated that this person is very organized in military and political affairs, so he should be the master of the Ming Dynasty... The King of Han in Nanjing is indeed strong, but he must look down on us; and the third prince has had an affair with the young master.

By chance, our men are short of manpower. Although he is currently very weak with few major generals, we have no choice. This is the only way. We must not miss this opportunity."

Wang Yu paced back and forth for a few steps. Liang Yan knew that he was tempted, so he continued: "As the saying goes, fight while the iron is hot. The third prince personally ordered the young master to be released from prison. We must go to see him as soon as possible to avoid

As time goes by, your status in his heart will become lighter. You don't need to change your clothes. Just go to see him wearing sackcloth and mourning. It shows that you are incompatible with Zhu Yong and the court, and you can gain his trust. The reason for asking for the meeting is simple, go and thank him.

It’s a life-saving grace. After all, you may be executed sooner or later in prison, and it was the third prince who released you. When it comes to kindness, the personal relationship becomes even closer.”

After thinking about it, Wang Yu accepted Liang Yan's suggestion. After being sad, Wang Yu also had to face many problems. Not to mention revenge, the survival of himself and his group was a big problem. They were facing disbandment; he did vote for Zhang Ning.

If so, it can solve many problems.

He and Liang Yan went out immediately. They had just left the county government office not long ago and now they were back.

Naturally, everyone in the yamen knew the county magistrate, so he took them outside the lobby first, and then went to report it. Sure enough, news came soon, and Zhang Ning asked him to meet at the signing room.

Zhang Ning's current office is still located in the mortgage room, which has been decorated. He is a person who likes to go to familiar places. For example, he is used to eating in a certain restaurant. He rarely goes to other places. The last time he was in Shimen County

I stayed in the mortgage room for many days, so naturally I stayed here this time.

However, this time, Shimen County was not the central area he chose. This time, he chose Cili County because it was closer to the mountainous area in western Huguang where the anti-evil sect is active, and also to Yongding Weigeng, which he must take.

He recently stayed in Shimen County, just waiting for news that Wei Bin had captured Lizhou; in the end, he did not go to Lizhou with the army.

When Wang Yu entered the signing room, he saw many notes posted by Zhang Ning on the wall behind the chair, the same as last time.

Zhang Ning looked up and saw that Wang Yu and his staff were all wearing sackcloth and mourning. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. Wang Yu walked over and knelt down in front of the case, saying: "Sinner Wang Yu, thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."

kindness."

"Please get up quickly. Magistrate Wang has spoken too harshly..." Zhang Ning hurriedly stood up and made a gesture of support. He really didn't feel that he was a benefactor. If Shimen County had not been conquered, Magistrate Wang would still be a good official.

, what kind of kindness can I say?

However, he didn't think he had any personal grudges with Wang Yu. For example, if the two countries were at war and the general of the defeated side went back and was killed, how could he blame the other side for doing something wrong? "Each one is his own master" is not the same camp.

There is no talk of grudges among people.

"Don't look outside, just sit down and talk." Zhang Ning thought and looked up and down at the filial piety clothes worn by the two of them. "Back then, Magistrate Wang gathered troops in the city to defend the city. Although he did not defend the city, he still fulfilled his responsibilities for the court.

Losing the city and losing the land is certainly a crime, but Zhu Yong cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately without a judicial verdict, let alone bring harm to Magistrate Wang’s family. It is indeed too lawless and cruel."

Wang Yu said: "I just wish I couldn't kill this thief; the imperial court even condoned the lawlessness of the powerful, which chilled the hearts of the officials!"

Zhang Ning nodded slightly, not only expressing his agreement with Wang Yu's words, but also giving this guy another high look: When talking about personal grudges, he did not forget to add the sentence "The court is chilling", which is quite a standard statement. This guy's first wife

Being raped first and then killed, his own mother was killed. Such a tragic thing happened to him, which was even more shameful and humiliating. He could still face the reality with a clear mind... Zhang Ning felt that if he unfortunately encountered such a thing, he would not

You must be able to achieve this level.

"I wonder what Magistrate Wang plans to do in the future, is he going to seek revenge from Zhu Yong?" Zhang Ning asked.

Wang Yu said: "This thief holds military power and is in a high position. I have the desire to kill the thief but not the power to kill him, so I can only keep it in my heart and look for opportunities to take revenge. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Deep hatred and hatred will always come to an end. Now.
