Chapter 35 - II
Wu Qing thought about it for a while and dug up a picture of Tan Xingwang going to the tofu flower stall. He had an epiphany and suddenly felt that Jing Xingzhi was doing something wonderful!
——Relationships that others didn’t know about were also dug up. After being persuaded by the people they liked, he should follow their wishes and change his mind.
Wu Qing figured it out and looked back at Chen Fulang with a malicious smile on his face.
Jing Xingzhi didn’t care what he thought; this man wouldn’t live long anyway.
He asked directly: “Chief Clerk Wu, can I go in and talk to him?”
Wu Qing looked a little hesitant: “Not according to the rules. But can you bring someone in with you? I’m afraid he will get angry and hit someone, and he will attack you.” Wu Qing, first said, that he couldn’t follow the rules, and then asked Jing Xingzhi to lead people in.
Wu Qing changed several meanings in one sentence. Anyway, he must let Jing Xingzhi know that he was trying his best to cooperate.
The king elephant in the cell was thin and small, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was looking at Jing Xingzhi, who was dressed in fine clothes, and smiled evilly, just like a wild cat seeing a fat mouse.
Jing Xingzhi thought about it for a while and without forcing it, said, “Then I can just tell him outside.” This would avoid exposing any flaws.
“Okay, tell him.” Wu Qing backed down halfway and gave up his position to Jing Xingzhi.
Wang Xiang in the cell was wearing a prison uniform and said angrily: “You little scholar, what can you say to me? I won’t listen, so go away! Don’t nag me.”
“It’s not up to you whether you listen or not.” Jing Xingzhi said this, sorted out his thoughts, and then began to reason with Wang Xiang.
“Do you know that colluding with bandits and causing civilians to be killed is tantamount to murder and will result in beheading?”
Wang Xiang curled his lips as he listened, and even disliked Jing Xingzhi for being so annoying.
Could he not know that he would be behead?
But the county magistrate had told him that he wouldn’t be killed. What did this little scholar know about the politics inside the officialdom?
Wang Xiang looked at Jing Xingzhi’s fine clothes and couldn’t help but think about how he would spend the thousand taels after leaving Huanshui to vent his anger.
‘Why don’t you buy a few clothes like this and wear them? You look so handsome in them! Buy it. I must buy a few in the future…’
“You don’t care about beheading? I heard that you have never married a wife. If your parents knew about it, they would crawl out of the grave to look for you…”
Jing Xingzhi finished his sentence. A little less than a quarter of an hour.
As he spoke, he slapped the pillars of the cell from time to time, as if he was dissatisfied with Wang Xiang’s disobedience.
Wang Xiang was inside, and Jing Xingzhi couldn’t hit him. He could only tap the pillar to make Wang Xiang concentrate and listen to him.
Finally, Wang Xiang got angry and rushed to Jing Xingzhi and yelled back.
“Why are you making such a fuss? Are you not thirsty after talking so much?!” Wang Xiang felt so annoyed that he didn’t even notice that the cell had become colder for no reason.
While Wu Qing was dumbfounded, Jing Xingzhi sighed, slapped Wang Xiang’s face with his hand, and said, “You can’t teach a stupid boy! You fool, be careful when you help someone with blood in their hands. You just wait for your turns!”
Wu Qing felt… is this disciple of Chief Fang a little stupid?
Wu Qing looked at the people brought by Jing Xingzhi strangely, and Chen Fulang also looked dumbfounded. Only Wang Zhuang’s expression remained calm and composed, as if it was not strange at all for Jing Xingzhi to do this.
.
Wu Qing suppressed his curiosity and refused to ask. He even smiled and took him to the next cell where Tan Xingwang was held.
In fact, Wang Zhuang was a little confused at first, but he thought of Jing Xingzhi’s many magical things – his eyes were very smart, his ears were very good at hearing, and he could tell where Wang Xiang’s silver was hidden with just a few glances. This gave Wang Zhuang his full trust in Jing Xingzhi.
Although it seemed strange, it might be very effective!
The chief trusts Young Master Jing. Of course, he, Wang Zhuang, had no reason to doubt him. Both the teacher and the disciple had been beaten over the head by the immortal!
.
Inside the cell.
Tan Xingwang was sitting on the bed, holding his legs with his hands. No one knew what he was thinking. His hair was messy, and he looked very haggard.
But suddenly, Tan Xingwang seemed to hear crying from a familiar voice, and he raised his head in disbelief.
Tan Xingwang’s eyes widened, and he involuntarily got off the bed and walked to the cell door: “Why are you here?”
Chen Fulang sniffed, looked at him, and followed Jing Xing without saying a word, but he was confused no matter what he looked at.
He looked like he was about to cry, which made Tan Xingwang, who looked at him, extremely anxious.
But blocked by the wooden pillars of the cell, Tan Xingwang could only fret in place, grinding his feet against the pits in the cell like a millstone.
Wu Qing coughed: “Tan Xingwang, these people are here to see you. Be honest, why do you have to take blame for others? You are still young. Your life is long!”
Wu Qing’s words made Tan Xingwang lower his head. He didn’t dare to look at Chen Fulang, but when he heard the cry, he couldn’t help but glance at Chen Fulang secretly.
Jing Xingzhi saw this and said to Wu Qing, “Can it be opened? Let them talk for half a quarter of an hour first.”
With Jing Xingzhi’s words, Wu Qing immediately asked the old man to open the cell door and let Chen Fulang in.
