Dawei Fanghua

Outside the official residence of Qinghe County, Ms. Zhang was dressed in white linen mourning clothes. Her hair was a little disheveled, her red eyes were dull, and her formerly round and plump face had lost its luster, and she looked pitiful.People passing by looked at her sideways, and even the two bankers following her sighed from time to time.

The child was left at home and the husband was in jail.At this moment, Ms. Zhang felt like she was dead, like a lonely ghost, helpless.

A clerk came out of the corner door, and Zhang's eyes suddenly became bright again.The clerk came forward and handed the basket to Zhang.Zhang opened the lid and saw that there was all the rice and soup inside, and her heart suddenly became cold: "You haven't given the meal to my husband?"

The clerk said, "You can't send anything in. What if it's poisonous?"

Mrs. Zhang suddenly woke up and took out a bunch of five baht coins from her arms and stuffed them into the hands of the clerk.The clerk tried it up and down, looked at Mrs. Zhang twice, then handed the money back and said, "I don't dare to accept money like this."

"As long as I try to let me see my husband first, my kindness will be unforgettable." Ms. Zhang refused.

The clerk urged: "Put it away quickly." He looked around and said with a mysterious face, "How can you bribe me like this? In this way, Mrs. Zhang will go to stay in the guest house over there first, and I will come to find you later. Madam, it’s a good time to have a business meeting.”

When Mrs. Zhang heard that she had a solution, she nodded in agreement.

The three of them arrived at the guest house and settled down. Mrs. Zhang was waiting with hope.She had heard that there were rats and bugs in the prison, that she could not eat well or sleep well, and that people often died. At this moment, she just wanted to see her husband once, so that she could feel at ease.

When the sun turned to the west, the clerk finally came. When they met, he said that he wanted to take a moment to talk.So Zhang asked the banker to wait outside the door, but the clerk asked Zhang to take them farther away and go out to the street.Mrs. Zhang already felt something strange, but when she saw someone walking outside the door, she first obeyed the clerk's wishes.

Soon the clerk changed his stern look from the outside, and began to look at Mrs. Zhang unscrupulously, and his expression became vulgar and frivolous.After watching for a while, he almost drooled, "I have a way to let Madam see the person with her own eyes, but it requires disobeying the ban and taking a lot of risks. I don't need the money..."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the door and window behind the clerk and sneered: "You are so anxious, how can I believe that you can really do something?"

The clerk slowly stepped forward and answered the question, and his speech was a little unclear, "I have seen many women, but I have never seen a woman like this. If you really want to be pretty and be filial, isn't it? With a figure like Madam's, Although she is not slim, she has a plump charm."

"Get out of here!" Mrs. Zhang immediately turned against her, "or I'll call someone."

The clerk begged for a while, "Madam, please don't blame me, you are so beautiful." Then he threatened, "If you dare to offend me, I will make your husband's life in prison worse than death!"

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to provoke him too much, and just said: "Stop dreaming. If I taint my innocence, I will be killed here. You won't get a good ending even if you risk your life!"

But the clerk said: "It's cool to die under the peony flowers and be a ghost. As long as I can kiss my wife's beauty, it's worth dying here." When he said this, he thought of the door behind him, stepped back to the door, and carefully closed the door with his hand.

Zhang was nervous, but she could still keep her breath, so she took a few steps to the side, looking for an opportunity to run out of the room.In this way, he can manage to escape without irritating the petty officials.

The light dimmed slightly and the door was gently closed.

Unexpectedly, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the clerk was thrown away and fell to the ground.After a while, a young man jumped in immediately.

"Erlang!" Mrs. Zhang was embarrassed and happy at the same time.Qin Liang rushed forward, bent down and twisted the lapel of the clerk's clothes, punched him, and cursed, "It's your mother's fault to take advantage of others' danger, it's your mother's fault!"

Then Mrs. Zhang froze in place, because her husband Qin Sheng suddenly appeared at the door!For a moment, Mrs. Zhang couldn't even believe it was true. She suspected that it was her husband's soul, and she felt sad and scared.But soon she saw the sun that had not yet set outside the door, rubbed her eyes, hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately reached out to rub Qin Sheng's arms and chest.Qin Sheng's face was slightly scratched and his body was covered in dirt. However, he was still wearing the same clothes he had worn when he went out that day, not his prison uniform.

Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at her: "I'm not dead!"

Zhang wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, so she raised her fist and hit Qin Sheng gently, "Enemies, you don't know how I got here these days. I have been frightened for so long, and you just talked to me like this." So in the room, two pairs of people Each one fights his own.Qin Liang pinned the clerk down on the ground and beat him severely. Zhang was also beating her husband with her fists.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have knocked over the bottles and jars in the kitchen, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and then a deep fatigue hit her heart, and her body became weak.When she saw the two men at home, she felt that although she was impatient and strong-tempered, she still wanted to rely on them.

Qin Liang had beaten the little official until his nose was bruised and swollen, and his face was covered with blood. He then twisted him up and dragged him out of the room, shouting: "Spare Dashan!" Then Qin Liang's voice said, "Send this thief to the county government to report Official. Asked for a bribe and failed in seduction!"

When Zhang heard this, she suddenly realized that Erlang's judgment seemed to be unexpectedly accurate. Even Erlang's first sentence "taking advantage of others' danger" when he entered the door was very clear.It was as if he was hiding in the corner and saw what happened, and his calculations were too accurate.

"Why were you released?" Mrs. Zhang asked at this time.

Qin Sheng said: "Zhong Chang's family made a false accusation. Now that the case is clear, the government will naturally release him." He then took out a document, "Zhong Chang Ke signed a false accusation and confessed to it, as well as Lu, the governor of Qinghe County and the governor of Jizhou." The case cannot be overturned if the young master acts as guarantee."

Mrs. Zhang was surprised and happy at the same time. She took the slip and read it, but she couldn't understand it because she couldn't read.She had no choice but to ask: "So, it really worked for Erlang to go to General Lu, the governor of Jizhou?"

Qin Sheng snorted and said: "It doesn't work, how did I get out?!"

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "General Lu is really a wise man who makes decisions for the people and decides cases impartially."

Qin Sheng glanced at her and said, "How can it be that simple? But now that Erlang has written an article praising General Lu, it is considered solid. Let's go home first."

Ms. Zhang was overjoyed and said, "Go home!"

The group of people assigned carriages and horses. Erlang and Rao Dashan were still on horseback. Zhang and Qin Sheng were sitting in the carriage. The remaining two villagers were one driving the carriage and the other sitting on the wooden board in front.

When Erlang put his feet on it, Mrs. Zhang was very attentive and helped him hold the horse to prevent it from moving.She whispered: "Erlang, what my sister-in-law said a few days ago was serious, don't take it to heart. My sister-in-law is also worried." She felt her face was a little hot, and it was probably red to others. Thinking about it, she had never spoken to anyone like this, and she felt ashamed and ashamed, "Sister-in-law has never seen the world, but Erlang has a way with women."

"It's okay, I'm used to it anyway." Erlang said with a wry smile.

What was originally a good conversation started to change, and Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to curse softly: "I have the same virtue as your brother."

While the city gate was still open, the group of people left Qinghe City under the gradually setting sun. It would be dark when they got home today.As the carriages and horses walked up the post road, Mrs. Zhang opened the bamboo curtain from time to time and couldn't help but observe Erlang riding a horse outside.

His figure stretched very long on the post road under the sunset, and his figure seemed to be taller.Mrs. Zhang had never observed him so carefully before. Upon closer inspection, she felt that his movements were very crisp and there was an indescribable calmness on his face.

Looking at his face for a while, Zhang actually had a comfortable and natural feeling. It was not because Erlang's face was quite handsome, but because a certain kind of spiritual aura could infect people.The more Zhang looked at him, the more she felt that Erlang had indeed grown up and was no longer the unreliable young man she thought he was.

"Writing an article has such a great effect, can you invite General Zhenbei?" Zhang asked her husband a little confused.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "How dare you?"

As the sun sets, the dust rising from the post road looks like mist and smoke in the light.
