Chapter 401: Going to jail is like being an old man

Wang Ping'an was taken to an exquisite courtyard in the backyard of Dali Temple. Although this courtyard was not luxurious, there were all kinds of rockery and ponds inside. Moreover, there were still a few bird cages hanging on the branches of the big tree, and there were a few birds with colorful feathers but not chirping.

Qin Shaoqing led Wang Ping'an into the house and smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you came to save someone last time, but I never thought that you would have to wait for someone else to save him today!"

This sounds like irony, but in fact, Qin Shaoqing has always been like this and has never been aware of his words. This may be related to his profession. He is a judge of people and is used to being stern. Leng Ding smiles with him and is a little uncomfortable!

Wang Ping'an smiled and didn't care. He said, "Yes, I have to wait for someone to come to save me. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Lord Qin during this period. If there is any disturbance, you have to take more responsibility!"

Qin Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I'm afraid of neglecting you. Your sworn brother is already helping in the temple. Let him serve you during this period. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Lord Qin!" Wang Ping'an bowed to him and sat on the chair in the room. He felt a little worried, so he naturally said less and didn't say anything for a while.

Qin Shaoqing obviously did not seem to be a person who often served others. Seeing that Wang Ping'an had something to do, he did not want to accompany him anymore and said goodbye. Before leaving, he closed the gate of the courtyard without locking it.

Qin Shaoqing had just left the yard and before he could go to the front yamen, he saw a person coming from behind the big tree. It was Di Renjie. Di Renjie was sweating on his face and was erected with a big belly. He quickly walked to Qin Shaoqing and saluted, "Mr. Qin, the prince is his elder brother..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Shaoqing said, "You will take care of his daily life during this period of time in the temple. Others are afraid that he will not get used to it."

Di Renjie was overjoyed and wanted this sentence. He took out a big bag from his arms and said, "I'm so kind, please accept it with a smile, Lord Qin!"

After he knew that Wang Ping'an was taken to Dali Temple, he urgently went to find Hamiti to prepare this bag. Suddenly, there was no time to prepare anything else, Hamiti had to wrap a large bag of jewelry at home and ask Di Renjie to take it to bribe Shangguan.

Qin Shaoqing glanced at the big bag and thought to himself: "It's not gold, silver and jewelry, right?" He swallowed his saliva and shook his head and said, "Why is this necessary? There is no need to do this!" He shook his head and left.

Di Renjie stuffed the big bag back to his waist and thought to himself: "It's impossible to think it's too little, so I must be embarrassed to accept it. This is simple, so he has to accept it!"

He rushed to the outside of the yard where Wang Ping'an lived, and looked inside through the crack in the door. Seeing that Wang Ping'an was sitting in the room in a daze, he pushed the door and shouted, "Brother, I want to congratulate you this time, you are about to be promoted again!"

What a person Di Renjie is? How could he not understand the truth about what happened today?

Ouyang Li shouted and chased after a while, then returned to Chengtian Gate again. After witnessing the rest of what happened, he quickly ran back to Inspiration Temple and said this. Everyone in the temple immediately took action separately. They had money, but they didn't have enough money, but they just gave it away. Giving gifts is a technical job, not everyone can do well!

After listening to Ouyang Li's description, Di Renjie realized that Wang Ping'an's crime was just a formality. He should be released, and his career will be smoother in the future. The key now is that he must not be imprisoned during the period when Wang Ping'an was in jail, and he turned nothing to something. Therefore, the joint that should be opened must be opened. Isn't it just to spend money? Wang Ping'an lacks everything, but he doesn't lack money!

Wang Ping'an raised his head and saw Di Renjie coming in. He smiled and said, "I don't expect to be promoted. At this age, what position can I get to be promoted? I just hope to go out earlier this time, that's fine!"

Di Renjie closed the gate of the courtyard, walked into the room, put the big bag in his arms on the table, and said, "Brother, you can give these things to people. It is easy to come in, but not easy to go out. The yamen runners in the temple turn against each other and turn over books. You don't have to worry about such villains. As long as you reward them with three melons and two dates, they will never be embarrassed for you!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "You don't have to run around. Even if no one asks for me, I can go out. By the way, whether this temple allows you to... Can you let Danruo and Wanwu come in?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Although the eldest brother is comfortable in the prison, it is not possible to let someone come in to serve him!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and smiled, "It would be nice not to be taken into the dungeon, what else can I pick on?" He was busy for half a night last night and was very tired, so he went into the inner room to sleep.

Di Renjie didn't stay for too long, so he left the courtyard and went to do business.

Wang Ping'an lay on the bed with his clothes and slept until afternoon. He got up and went to the outside house. He saw that there were wine and vegetables, four meats and four vegetables, and a large bowl of soup, with rice and a pot of wine next to it.

He walked to the table and looked at it. The wine and food seemed to have been delivered for a while and it was already cold. He was used to the wealthy life and did not like to eat cold dishes, so he did not eat it. Instead, he walked to the yard to see the birds in the cage.

Although the birds were better than the other, they did not sing, but they just fluttered in the cage. Wang Ping'an didn't know what kind of breed these birds were, so he broke a grass stick to tease the birds, wanting to hear what such a beautiful bird is called!

But no matter how he poked these birds, these birds didn't scream!

Wang Ping'an was just interested and suddenly heard someone talking on the wall of the courtyard: "The bird looked at the feathers, not the sound. I was afraid that it would disturb you, so I specially raised this kind of guy who was not good at using it!"

Wang Ping'an followed the sound and looked at the wall. He saw a man lying on the east wall, with only his head exposed. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a good-looking person, bald head and no hat. He looked in his forties, almost fifty, staring at himself playing with his eyes.

After saying oh, Wang Ping'an nodded at him, as if he was greeting him, and said with a smile: "Your offender? What does this mean?"

The man yelled and said, "What else can I mean? Those who can live in your courtyard are all people with high ranks and high ranks, but they don't commit crimes. Who can live here? Isn't it a crime? "

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Brother lives next to me. I guess he is also a tyrant. I am lucky to be lucky." As he said that, he walked to the wall, lay down on the wall, and looked at the yard where the man was.

Unexpectedly, the yard where the man lived was not like his own. It would be fine if it was not refined. The house inside was very dilapidated, with grass growing on the roof. There was actually a stove outside the house and a well in the yard. It was actually a small farmyard, which was still quite poor.

Wang Ping'an exclaimed and said, "Brother, why are you living here? It's so simple. Don't you care about the people in the yamen?"

The big man yelled and said, "It's just that if someone cares. If no one cares, he will go to the prison directly. This is Dali Temple, a place where people are kept. You think it's a hotel, and you can stay in the yard without squatting in the prison cell, which is a great blessing!"

Wang Ping'an laughed dryly, both of whom were prisoners, but his treatment was much better than that of this great man. He asked, "When Wang Ping'an is the servant of the Secretariat, how can he ask the brothers call him?"

The big man said, "My name is Su Lie, Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General. Your name is Wang Ping'an? He is the servant of the Central Secretariat, why are he wearing the third-rank official uniform?" When he heard Wang Ping'an's name, he had no expression of "admiration", but instead became interested in Wang Ping'an's official uniform.

Wang Ping'an said: "I am also the Marquis of Zheliu County!" Su Lie, this name sounds quite familiar!

The man said, "It turned out to be a marquis, but your fiefdom is really not very good. You can't collect a grain of food in Zheliu County, but you can't count too many thieves. You probably haven't been to that place, right?"

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "I haven't been there before. In fact, I, the Marquis of Zheliu County, have just been sealed for a while." He looked at the stove in the yard and said, "Brother Su cooks by himself?"

The big man sighed and said, "Yes, I've been locked up here for almost a year, my salary has been stopped, my family has no support, and life is difficult, so I can't afford to deliver food. I have to discuss with the yamen runners, cooking my own food, and spending money. When I go out in the future, I will settle it together. Now I owe them!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It seems that the people in Dali Temple are still very humane!"

"It's a bad human touch!" The man spat and said, "They provide me with only enough food for me to eat a day. It's not that they don't pay back their money, but they're still so stingy. They provide me with firewood and rice because they are afraid that I, a general of the Central Army, will starve to death here. How kind do you think they are!"

The big man looked at Wang Ping'an's yard and said, "There are some good wine and dishes in your yard, and the taste has been passed to me. If you don't eat it, can you give it to me? I haven't eaten meat for almost a year. I forgot what meat tastes!"

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you now, you can wait for a moment!"

But the big man said, "No need to be so troublesome. I just go to your place. I can't wait for a moment!" As he said that, he jumped onto the yard wall and turned over.

Wang Ping'an was startled. Seeing the man's anxious look, he laughed again and said, "Okay, then I'll invite Brother Su to come!"

The man took two steps at a time and rushed into the house. He smelled the fragrance and waited for a long time. Wang Ping'an couldn't come out and he couldn't make a speech, so he naturally couldn't come over. He was a dignified general of the Central Army and would never take it without giving it!

Wang Ping'an followed him into the room, saw him picking up the wine and drank it, and said with a smile: "The wine and food are cold, and the taste is bad!"

The big man took two big sips of wine, wiped his mouth, and then said, "Some of them are good to eat. I advise you not to be too picky. Could it be that the wine and food are cold and can they still exchange heat for you?"

Wang Ping'an smiled again and shouted outside the yard: "Come here, someone comes in!"

The big man was stunned and said, "What are you asking someone for?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Tell them to exchange the hot wine and food!"

"The nonsense..." Before the man finished speaking, he saw the gate of the courtyard open. A yamen runner came in outside and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Wang, what are your instructions?" The yamen runner was fed by Di Renjie and got a lot of benefits. It was almost enough to live for the rest of his life. Can you not be flattered when you see Wang Ping'an? He would be willing to call Wang Ping'an Grandpa Wang!

Wang Ping'an pointed to the wine and food on the table and said, "This dish is not cooked to my taste, so I'll ask the kitchen to remake it. Forget it, I'd better go out to the restaurant and call the food, and go to my medicinal food shop to call it."

He turned to the big man and smiled, "Where is Brother Su from?"

The man was stunned. After hearing Wang Ping'an's inquiry, he murmured: "He is from Jizhou."

Wang Ping'an waved his hand at the yamen runner and said, "I asked the Fangli to bring me a table of Jizhou-style wine and food, fast!"

The yamen runner nodded and said, "Yes, I'll do it for you now." He kept glaring at the big man and said, "Su Dingfang, why are you here for nothing? Don't disturb the prince and rest!"

Wang Ping'an said, it turned out that this person was Su Dingfang, and Su Lie was Su Dingfang. Why did he be locked up here?

Su Dingfang was furious and shouted: "Little official, how can you call me the name of my general?"

The yamen runner curled his lips and said, "What can I do if I call you? Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang..."

Su Dingfang was furious and left the house and was about to fight the yamen runners.

The yamen runner said indifferently: "Don't borrow firewood and rice? Try touching me!" He said this, but he was really afraid that Su Dingfang would come to fight, so he closed the door and ran away.

Su Dingfang stopped, stood in the yard, gasping for a long time, and turned around, his face full of helplessness and said to Wang Ping'an: "The tiger falls into Pingyang and is bullied by a dog. I think I was so majestic when I led my troops to fight and stepped on the tent of the Turkic Khan! Now, a small official called me the word "其免费" and I was helpless!"

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Why do you have to be as knowledgeable as such people? You can't do it!" As he said, he picked up the big bag from the table next to him, opened it, saw that it was full of pearls and jade, took out two beautiful jades, and said to Su Dingfang: "These are enough to pay back your money for firewood and rice. It is probably used to buy firewood and rice, which is enough to eat your son's generation!"

Su Dingfang walked into the room, shook his head and said, "If you don't borrow it, you can't pay it back!"

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Who wants you to pay it back! Well, I will be able to pay it back, but you have to come here to have a drink and chat with me every day during my jail time!"

Su Dingfang shouted, "You are generous and you are having a drink and chatting with you, just like me!" He reached out and took the beautiful jade, put it in his arms, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the dishes in big mouthfuls.

Wang Ping'an said: "It's so refreshing. I hate those things that push and push. The dishes are cold, so it's not too late to wait for new dishes to come."

Su Dingfang said, "Impatient."

Wang Ping'an sat down, looked at Su Dingfang who was eating and drinking, and asked in confusion: "Brother Su is a decent general, why are you locked up here?"

Su Dingfang raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Then you are still a servant of the Zhongshu Shepherd, why are you locked up here?"

Wang Ping'an shrugged and said, "Because I rang the Jingyang Bell, I was locked up here!"

Su Dingfang was shocked and stared at Wang Ping'an, saying, "Did you ring the Jingyang Bell last night? I heard it all here!"

After a pause, he said again: "I am not as serious as you... Well, I am not guilty at all, I am just implicated!"

Wang Ping'an tilted his head and looked at him, "Who is implicated?"

Su Dingfang sighed and said, "Who else can it be? General Li, it happened almost twenty years ago!"

"Li Ji?" Wang Ping'an frowned.

Su Dingfang said, "Li Jing." He picked up the wine pot and poured wine directly into his mouth.
