Wulong Inn

The wide gums creaked, and the pink tent spring waves surged.The westward sun shines light into the room through the half-opened windows, nailing the tightly entangled figures to the white wall.The man's heavy panting and the woman's unbearable moan came out from the layers of gauze curtains, making them extremely seductive.

Not long after, the clouds disappeared.A slender jade hand stretched out from the tent, lazily lifted the curtain, and the originally blurred face of the woman immediately became clear.I saw her almond-eyed and peach-cheeked, fair complexion, flowing eyes, implying style, she is really a beauty!

She half propped herself up, as if she wanted to sit up, but suddenly she let out a soft cry and lay down again.Accompanied by the man's chuckle, a big hand wrapped around her waist and skillfully poked into the half-open skirt, "Die," the woman spat and wiped off the dishonest hand ": This is a day and night I don't know restraint."

"Liniang, you also know that I've been grounded. You don't know when we will meet next time, so just let me..." While speaking, the man turned up again.

Pushing him away, the woman named Liniang said seriously; "Brother Xing, let me ask you, what happened to that incident, Dalang..." "I fell out with my father because of you, You're still thinking about that guy." Liu Xing suddenly changed his face, and he tightly hugged Liniang in his arms and said sharply: "Say! What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour for you, ah?"

Liniang looked at the half-dark sky outside the window in a blink of an eye, and the youthfulness on her face was replaced by melancholy: "After all, he treated me well, redeemed me, gave me a place to live, and... let me meet you. I didn’t repay him anything and actually killed him! I have nightmares every night now, dreaming that he came to ask for my life, I..."

Seeing Liniang's terrified and distressed look, Liu Xing's jealousy dissipated most of it immediately, he stroked her back, and said in a warm voice; "Actually, it's not that bad, I heard from my father that the guy didn't die at all. !"

"What are you talking about, it's impossible, I clearly..." Liniang was full of disbelief.

"I know you sniffed his breath at that time, but we were both in a state of confusion at the time, who knows if we held our breath temporarily." Liu Xing said indifferently.

Liniang lowered her head and thought, and there was a bit of hesitation on her face: "Could it be, did you really make a mistake?"

"That must be the case! Think about it, he just knocked on the threshold at that time. There was no bleeding and no new injuries. How could he die so easily." Liu Xing asserted.

"Then we abandoned him on the mountain at that time. We were really obsessed. If we had known earlier, we should have gone to the doctor directly, and we couldn't have settled so many troubles." Liniang clasped her hands together and muttered to herself.Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned over and got out of bed.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Xing was taken aback by her.

"Find out that money and return it to Yue's family." Liniang said while getting dressed.

"Repay the money? What kind of money should you pay?" Liu Xing grabbed her, "The money is in our hands now, so there is no reason to give it away."

"But it's Da Lang after all..." Liniang disagreed with a full face.

"What's the matter with him, let me tell you, he's not the only one with the 2000 taels, he paid [-]% of the capital, and I also paid [-]%. , I won [-]/[-]." Liu Xing lied without blushing.

"Then let's go back some way. I heard that he's had a bad life recently. To make up the money, he not only sold the property but also sold a lot of land." Liniang was also a little relieved.

"I know you're kind, but it depends on whether people accept it or not. If you were really anxious about the money, you would have come to ask for it a long time ago. Why don't you come now? You know he always has a good face, and he broke our relationship. I don't want to see you anymore. What's more, he is down and out now, if you send money, he will only think that you pity him, and if he doesn't make up his mind, he will be reprimanded, so why bother."

Liu Xingyu said earnestly, seeing that Liniang didn't refute this time, he rushed to hit the rails while it was hot; "Besides, you have to think about us. My father will definitely not allow you to enter my house in your capacity. If you can be generous With a little dowry, I have the confidence to plead with my mother." Now, Li Niang was completely silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Liu Xing wanted to find out where the money was.But before he could speak again, he heard a mess of footsteps in the yard, and the door was kicked open with a sound of "Peng".

All the light from outside the door poured in, making people unable to open their eyes.What I saw was a group of black figures standing against the light outside the door, whose faces could not be seen clearly.

A hoarse male voice suddenly sounded, and he jokingly said, "Hey, it's a day of prostitution, you two are so excited." Liu Xing finally came to his senses, and protected the screaming Liniang behind him amidst the roar of laughter. , but this voice is too annoying; "I've seen everything, so what's the point?"

"Who are you, how dare you trespass on a private house!" Liu Xing felt that he had never been so embarrassed.

"Who am I, um, you have to take a good look." Following the words, a man with a big arm and a round waist stepped into the room, and the black police uniform clearly showed his identity.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him in horror, and no one questioned him, Ma Kui was very satisfied.He cleared his throat, opened the paperwork and asked, "Who is Xu Liniang?"

"It's...a folk girl." Liniang poked out half of her face timidly from behind Liu Xing.

"Oh, what a beauty! I heard that you and Yue Qianshan and Liu Xing are quite good friends, but where is that Liu Xing now?" Ma Kui stared at Liniang's noodles in fascination, asked casually.

"Caomin is Liu Xing, what orders does your lord have?" Liu Xing said hastily, covering the half of Liniang's protruding face without any trace.

"Oh, so it's the two of you, it really saved us a lot of effort." Ma Kui curled up a smiley face, "How about it, come with us." Immediately after, his complexion changed fiercely. Said; "Take it away!" The yamen servant who had been waiting outside the door rushed in like a wolf.

After glancing at Master Wang, Master Qian still hesitated: "Zi Zhan, do you think this can be done?"

"My lord, don't worry," Master Wang said to himself, "If the scholar surnamed Yue is really a prodigal son as you said, then this matter will be settled easily." "But his identity as a boy..." Master Qian still has some worried.

Master Wang snorted coldly; "This identity can become his protective umbrella, and it can also become his reminder!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Master Qian also heard some interest.

"I wonder if my lord has read Taizu's "Kaiyuan Guangji·Xue Xun"?" "Well, I really haven't read it." Master Qian said with some embarrassment.

"This article in "Xue Xun" focuses on exhortation and instruction on the conduct of students. It does not belong to the political theory and poetry that the current imperial examinations focus on. Adults are usually busy with their studies and have no time to care about others. The academies and academies in each state have their own academic regulations. It's normal to have read it." Master Wang lightly brought this matter up. "There is a saying in this 'training' that 'scholars should stand up first, be diligent in learning and cautious in doing..."

Seeing that the magistrate of the county was already a little impatient, he didn't lose his words anymore, and said bluntly, "In the code of conduct for students, there are regulations prohibiting sex with prostitutes and gambling. Adults are the parents of a county and have the responsibility to educate them." , if it is true that the scholar kept a prostitute and secretly involved in a gambling house, my lord can punish him for the crime of misconduct."

"But there is no exception in the 'Punishment Constitution'... Besides, this prostitute gambling house..." Master Qian hesitated.

"Nowadays the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old. It is common for students to be involved in gambling. They linger in brothels and play with prostitutes. They are not ashamed but proud. This trend can't last, my lord!" Master Wang said impassionedly: "Let's talk about this" "Kaiyuan Guangji" was written by Taizu, and it has been included in the royal family. This is the ancestor's family law, and the patriarchal law is as big as the sky, not to mention a "criminal constitution". With this book as evidence, you can be confident!"

"Okay!" Master Qian was completely convinced: "Now we have detained Xu Liniang and Liu Xing, and we can prove these two charges by taking testimony! But what happens next?"

I just heard Master Wang say: "My lord, the student privately thinks that there are two reasons for Yue Tongsheng's failure to attend the appointment of your lord: one is that he has repented, he does not want the status of a supervisor, and wants to be born in a proper way. The other is that he couldn't keep the money in his hands, and he spent the money donated to the prison students. No matter what the reason, he expected that adults would not dare to speak out about it, and he has the status of a child student, so..."

Master Qian interjected angrily, "Hmph! It's really unreasonable!"

"My lord, don't be angry, Master Wang hurriedly said, "Now that your lord has these two crimes, you can find that Tongsheng. If it is the former, if that Tongsheng refuses to admit it, your lord can use it as a reason to disqualify him as a child." Coerce him, force him to submit, and come up with money.If it's the latter, since the supervisor's documents haven't been issued yet, adults can use this as evidence to recommend another good candidate! "

"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Master Qian was very excited.At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ma Kui walked in with a smile on his face: "My lord, everyone has brought them here, look..."

Master Qian's smile was even brighter, "Ma Kui, I have one more thing I want you to go over here..."

Yue Qinlian was walking on the way home, the unharvested wheat beside her was glowing with golden light, and the breeze brought out a dazzling wave of wheat.But she didn't have the heart to watch the beautiful scenery, because there were too many distracting thoughts in her mind, she didn't have the mind to enjoy the scenery.

After my brother woke up, he became a little different.Without the old-fashioned conceit, he has become much more open-minded.He no longer hangs out with a group of dubious people like before, and is much more kind to himself and Luan'er.These are all good signs, but she always has doubts in her heart, what made him change like this?And, that thing...

"No, I have to ask what I say at noon today!" After making up her mind, Yue Qinlian stopped hesitating and strode home.
