„Great Lord harnesses, silence! Silence!” “大老爷驾到,肃静！肃静！” Yaqian noisy continuous, in the step has the messenger to loudly shout suddenly, at once before two Hua(花) character officer lamp holders leads the way, the county magistrate Hua Qingfeng crown wears neatly, under four strong bailiffs protect and sustain to walk powerfully from yamen (government office). 衙前正吵闹不休,阶上忽有差役大喝一声,旋即两盏“花”字官灯头前开路,县太爷花晴风冠戴整齐,在四名强壮的捕快护持下威风凛凛地从衙门里走出来。 „County magistrate master came out!” “知县老爷出来了！” Before the county administration, immediately is peaceful, many common people have also never seen the looks of county magistrate, at this time was looking around curiously. Hua Qingfeng stands firm in the step, color severe Neicha plays the role said dignifiedly: „You and other defiant people, big guts! Late at night, gathers in Yaqian, intends what for!” 县衙前顿时安静下来,许多百姓还从未见过县太爷的尊容,这时都好奇地张望着。花晴风在阶上站定,色厉内茬强扮威严道:“尔等刁民,好大的胆量！半夜三更,聚集衙前,意欲何为！” Under the step peaceful the moment, in the camp of Li clansman was in a tumult slightly, then chooses by acclamation one person to go forward to reply, this person wants to be has seen some world naturally, the speech also appropriate, by has the prestige in the clansman very much, looks at the age is actually only the middle age. 阶下安静了片刻,李氏族人的阵营里微微骚动了一阵,便公推一人上前答话,这人想是见过些世面,说话也大方得体,是以在族人中很有威望,看年纪却只是中年。 He comes close to kneel down to Hua Qingfeng, high sound said: „Common people Li Mubai, has seen Great Lord. Nephew Li Yanting of common people, drinks wine in ‚Moon palace garden’ today, was led one group of hooligans seizing by county administration Su Butou suddenly. That Su chief of police not only does not have the county magistrate Sir your arresting person ration certificate for imperial messengers when traveling on official business, belt/bring is not the Duke person in yamen (government office), actually abuses the authority, catches my clansman, I and other come tonight to the county administration, are ask Great Lord you to uphold the justice for our Li Jia.” 他走到近处给花晴风跪下,高声道:“草民李慕白,见过大老爷。草民的堂侄李言庭,今日在‘蟾宫苑’饮酒,忽被县衙苏捕头带着一群泼皮给抓走了。那苏捕头既没有县尊大人您的拘人牌票,带的又不是衙门里的公人,却滥用职权,捕我族人,我等今夜到县衙来,就是请大老爷您为我们李家主持公道的。” „?” “哦？” Hua Qingfeng cast a sidelong glance his eyes, saw Li clan still Zhi to dread the officer prestige, the disturbed mood slightly was peaceful, caressing must say: „Who sees Su Butou to seize Li Yanting, at that time situation how?” 花晴风睨了他一眼,见李氏一族尚知畏惧官威,原本忐忑的心情略安,抚须道:“何人看见苏捕头抓走李言庭,当时情形如何？” Hua Qingfeng thinks, if that person not on the scene, can send people to look him, thus and such and such can delay enough time, actually does not think that humanities are the Li clansman, at that time also gambled there, has an accident by Li Yanting, he hurried back to notify immediately. 花晴风本想若那人不在场,便可派人去把他找来,如此这般就能拖延足够的时间,却不想那人本就是李氏族人,当时也在那里赌钱,是以李言庭一出事,他马上就赶回去报信了。 At this time one hear of county magistrate masters inquired that person busy also went forward to kneel down, kowtows saying: „Common people Li Yanju, has seen Great Lord!” Then saw him after said to Hua Qingfeng from beginning to end. 这时一听知县老爷询问,那人忙也上前跪下,叩头道:“草民李言矩,见过大老爷！”便把他所见经过从头到尾对花晴风说了一遍。 Li's on coming road has discussed proper. Keeps silent about gambling, Li Yanting gets involved in gambling is only minor matter, but the Duke artificial gambling work place supported that is the important matter of exploiting power, believes that their favors done at little or no cost delivered, county magistrate Great Lord must buy their accounts. If this county magistrate Great Lord does not know the limitation, that also bites Su Xuntian, whom having a look at to be uglier at the appointed time. 李家在来时路上已经商量妥了。绝口不提赌博一事,李言庭参赌只是小事一桩,可公人为赌坊撑腰那就是以权谋私的大事了,相信他们这个顺水人情送出去,知县大老爷也得买他们的帐。如果这位知县大老爷不识相,那就把苏循天也咬出来,看看到时谁更难看。 Hua Qingfeng hears very carefully, to questioning proof that the minor details also take great pains, but then painstakingly Li Mubai and Li Yanju, knelt the leg hemp. Asked the process with great difficulty. Hua Qingfeng actually superficial said/tunnel: „This matter, this county is clear, and others said with, is actually different.” 花晴风听得十分仔细,对一些细枝末节也不厌其烦的追问求证,如此一来可苦了李慕白和李言矩,跪得腿都麻了。好不容易才问罢经过。花晴风却轻描淡写地道:“这件事,本县是清楚的,与尔等所言,却是不尽相同。” Li Mubai is strong the courage saying: „Also asked Great Lord to show, does not know that actually Li Yanting committed what crime.” 李慕白壮起胆子道:“如此还请大老爷示下,不知李言庭究竟犯了何罪。” „!” “咳！” Hua Qingfeng clears throat, suddenly raises the sound saying: „Scatters does the miscellaneous personnel, Li clansman Yaqian waits, leading them to speak to the palace guard!” 花晴风清了清嗓子,突然提高声音道:“驱散一干闲杂人等,李氏族人衙前相候,带他二人到衙内说话！” Hua Qingfeng said that turns around to walk, the meddlesome common people who these late at night come out to watch the fun are naturally discontented with this result. The Li clansman does not know that Hua Qingfeng intends what for, is creates a clamor continuous, these Official messenger berated loudly: „Silence! Silence! In Great Lord calls them to enter speaks, dares to create a clamor again. The chaotic stick scatters!” 花晴风说完转身就走,那些半夜三更出来看热闹的好事百姓对此结果自然不满。李氏族人不知花晴风意欲何为,也是鼓噪不休,那些衙差大声喝斥:“肃静！肃静！大老爷只是唤他二人入内说话,再敢鼓噪。乱棍驱散！” Said that said that they have not dared the real club to happen simultaneously, Li Mubai is experienced, the guts are large. Then pulls up Li Yanju, entered yamen (government office) with Hua Qingfeng. 说是这么说,他们也未敢真的棍棒交加,李慕白见多识广,胆量颇大。便一把拉起李言矩,跟着花晴风进了衙门。 Hua Qingfeng has not led on them the great hall, only looked for a sign room in the former alley at will. After entering, sits upward, sinking sound said: „This matter was the secret, now told that knows in your two people, your two people must keep one's mouth shut, if divulges, must punish!” 花晴风未带他们上大堂,只在前衙随意找了一间签押房。入内之后往上首一坐,沉声道:“此事本属机密,如今吩咐于你二人知道,你二人须守口如瓶,如果泄露,必予严惩！” Li Mubai and Li Yanting look at each other in blank dismay, see with own eyes the county magistrate manner with deep veneration, unavoidably in the heart disturbed: „Is it possible that did Li Yanting really violate what case?” 李慕白和李言庭面面相觑,眼见县太爷神态肃然,不免心中忐忑:“莫非李言庭真的犯了什么案子？” Hua Qingfeng said: „ Some first date and time, this county once dispatched an official to sweep ‚One dragon (coordinated process)’ bandit, at that time obtained the news, some of my county person of illicit intercourse robbers and bandits, give the message for them in secret. ‚One dragon (coordinated process)’ although the robber partner was exterminated, their informers have not actually been caught, enjoined Su Butou to investigate by this county once Mi in secret. 花晴风道:“前些时日,本县曾派员扫荡‘一条龙’匪盗,那时就得到消息,我县有人私通盗匪,暗中为他们传递消息。‘一条龙’的盗伙虽被剿灭了,他们的这个眼线却不曾落网,是以本县曾密嘱苏捕头暗中查访。 These days, the Su chiefs of police have checked some people one after another, actually 11 removed their suspicion. Today the Su chiefs of police report the report to this county, said that he obtained the recent clue, has a person named Li Yanting to have the significant suspicion, he will find opportunity this person. ” 这些日子,苏捕头已经陆续查过一些人,却又一一排除了他们的嫌疑。今日苏捕头向本县禀报,说他获得了新的线索,有个叫李言庭的人有重大嫌疑,他会找机会查查这个人。” Hua Qingfeng at this point, Li Mubai and Li Yanju the complexion big change, this is the charge that is in collusion with bandits, to Li Yanting, this is the big crime of decapitation, if solid this charge, the entire Li families must be involved. 花晴风说到这里,李慕白和李言矩已然脸色大变,这可是通匪的罪名啊,对李言庭来说,这是杀头的大罪,如果坐实了这个罪名,整个李氏家族都要受到牵连。 Li Mubai could not achieve self-possessedly, uneasy said/tunnel: „Great Lord, Li Yanting always defends contented......” 李慕白做不到坦然自若了,惴惴不安地道:“大老爷,李言庭一向安份守……” Hua Qingfeng saw the Li clansman to fluster, instead was tranquil, sinking sound said: „this county has not said!” 花晴风见李氏族人慌了,反而平静下来,沉声道:“本县还没说完！” Li Mubai closed the mouth immediately, Hua Qingfeng said: „this county has said that that Li Yanting has the suspicion, is not solid his charge. He has the suspicion of being in collusion with bandits, naturally must check. But if seizes publicly, once the news divulges, if being in collusion with bandits has someone else, will alert the enemy inevitably. Therefore Su Butou handles affairs secretly, and to cover their ears and eyes, led some hooligans, but has not used in the gate the person.” 李慕白马上闭紧了嘴巴,花晴风道:“本县说过,那李言庭只是有嫌疑,并未坐实他的罪名。他既有通匪的嫌疑,当然要查。可若公开抓捕,消息一旦泄露,若通匪者另有其人,势必会打草惊蛇。所以苏捕头才秘密行事,且为掩人耳目,带了一些泼皮,而未动用公门中人。” Two Li clansmen got rid of the breath to listen to Hua Qingfeng saying that this by the Li Mubai cautious said/tunnel: „Great Lord, Li Yanting has odd/surplus wealth/fiscal, often makes loans Mou Xiexiao. Sells goods, originally is the anxious person anxious, when some people spend money anxiously thanked profusely to him, when repaying a debt actually hated to the marrow of the bones, unavoidably the slander stabbed. So-called is in collusion with bandits, deciding is these people nurses a grudge the retaliation, renovates in him, but also asked Great Lord to uphold the justice.” 两个李氏族人摒着呼吸听花晴风说完,这才由李慕白小心翼翼地道:“大老爷,李言庭家有余财,时常放贷牟些小利。放货么,本是急人所急,可是有些人急用钱时对他千恩万谢,待还帐时却是恨之入骨,难免诽谤中伤。所谓通匪,定是这些人挟恨报复,整治于他,还请大老爷主持公道。” Hua Qingfeng said: „Whether guilty, but also needs investigates Guocai to know, if Li Yanting is truly undeserved, this county naturally cannot add the crime for no reason, after the verification is unjust, the Su chiefs of police quietly him will release. Your clansmen so on a grand scale, this county actually must think that unexpectedly did not send to make the reason that one caused suspicion.” 花晴风道:“是否有罪,还需查过才知道,如果李言庭确实冤枉,本县自然不会无端加罪,查证冤枉之后,苏捕头自会悄然将他释放。谁料你们族人这般大张旗鼓,本县却需想个不致令人生疑的理由了。” Li Mubai and Li Yanju listened to the dark regret to be impulsive, Hua Qingfeng did intentionally to ponder over, thinks saying: „ This, this county thinks again well, if the Li Yanting non- mountain thief informer, how should explain that firmly he was arrested the incident by the Su chiefs of police. And your two people comfort the clansman to go back, cannot cause trouble for no reason. 李慕白和李言矩听了不禁暗悔冲动,花晴风故作思忖,想了想道:“这样吧,本县再好好想想,如果李言庭确非山贼眼线,该如何向人解释他被苏捕头拘走一事。你二人且安抚族人回去,不许无端生事。 Then you go to Great Prison, to prevent to disclose the news, Su Butou took away there question him. If Li Yanting is guilty, your two people must assist the government authorities to urge him to surrender, said the truth early, could reduce the responsibility for an offense. If innocent, your two people may also the this county difficulties say that listens with him, together is the this county hush-hush. Common people. Should assist the government authorities, removes the bullies and brings peace to the law-abiding and suppress the place. ” 然后你们去一趟大牢,为了防止走漏消息,苏捕头把他带去那里问话了。如果李言庭有罪,你二人要协助官府劝他自首,早早说出实情,尚可减轻罪责。如果无罪,你二人也可将本县的苦衷说与他听,一起为本县守秘。既是良民。就应协助官府,除暴安良、平靖地方。” Two people of yes sir names are, drew back dingily. 二人唯唯称是,灰溜溜地退了出去。 Hua Qingfeng sees him one to explain according to the means that Su Xuntian said that Li really has the potential of ceasing all activities, secretly rejoices: „These coax and frightens, really fooled them. That Ye Xiaotian actually some low cunnings.” 花晴风见他按照苏循天所说的办法一番交待下来,李家果然有偃旗息鼓之势,不由暗喜:“这一番连哄带吓,果然唬住了他们。那叶小天倒是有些歪才。” His bookworm sends naively, actually does not know Ye Xiaotian this technique itself is old tricks that the bailiff prison warden usually mooched and bully to conceal the truth. 他这书呆子一派天真,却不知叶小天这手法本就是捕快牢头们平素招摇撞骗、欺下瞒上的的惯用伎俩。 The Li clansman defends outside the alley eagerly, sees two clansmen to come out from the county administration suddenly in good condition, immediately relaxes, surrounds in abundance. 李氏族人眼巴巴地守在衙外,忽见两个族人好端端地从县衙里出来,登时松了口气,纷纷围拢上来。 These two are stretching the cheek. Did not answer to the clansman unceasing inquiry word of approach, rushed to the clansman on the scene in front of the seniority in relationships and age most honored sir, first made other clansmen avoid, said to that elder explaining of county head magistrate Hua low voice. 这两人绷着面皮。对迎上来的族人不断的询问一言不答,匆匆赶到在场族人中辈份、年纪最尊者面前,先让其他族人避开,才把花知县的交待对那长辈小声说了一遍。 That elder listened unavoidably is also tense, Li Mubai then said to the people: „Clansman, Li Yanting was arrested, the reality is a misunderstanding. My two people of this has a look at him, if the safe/without matter, leads him to go back early tomorrow morning. And everyone returns.” 那个长辈听了也不免紧张起来,李慕白便对众人道:“诸位族人,李言庭被人拘走,实是一场误会。我二人这就去看看他,如果无事,明日一早就带他回去。大家且回吧。” Has a clansman unable to bear ask: „Uncle Mubai, actually the county magistrate told you anything, actually Yanting why was grasped, you explain actually.” 有个族人忍不住问道:“慕白叔,县太爷跟你们究竟说了些什么啊,言庭究竟为何被抓,你们倒是说个明白啊。” In that clan the elder scolded loudly: „Shut up! Mubai worked was usually steady. He said to you, naturally has his truth. Good, everyone goes back, has anything. And is processed by Mubai, you all go back.” 那位族中长辈大声呵斥道:“闭嘴！慕白做事素来稳重。他既对你这么说,自然有他的道理。好啦,大家都回去吧,有什么事。且由慕白去处理,你们全都回去。” This old gentleman opens the mouth, these Li clansmen are again unobjectionable. At that moment then diverged in a whisper. Before Li Mubai and Li Yanju keeps county yamen (government office), after the clansman diverges in abundance, then two Duke people catch up, getting them to rush to Great Prison. 这位老爷子一开口,那些李氏众族人再无异议。当下便交头接耳地散去了。李慕白和李言矩留在县衙门前,待族人纷纷散去后,便有两个公人赶来,领着他们赶往大牢。 Great Prison west the county administration, general Great Prison constructs a body with the county administration, but Hu county changes to flows the civil service system 34 years of scene, before the local Han nationality by the Xunjiansi military control, Great Prison constructed near the west city wall at that time, constructs the county administration time to save the fund, the control used original Xunjiansi Great Prison, by with county administration not in the same place. 大牢在县衙西面,一般的大牢都是与县衙建筑一体的,而葫县改为流官制才三四年光景,以前当地汉民是由巡检司军管的,当时大牢建在西城墙边,建县衙的时候为了节省资金,就接管使用了原来的巡检司大牢,是以与县衙并不在一起。 However, Hu county was not big, this one goes to also the distances of several streets, was quick they to arrive at Great Prison, that manages saw firmly is the person who county yamen (government office) sent, after examining the number and route plates of two Duke people, then made them enter the hall to be firm, sending a prison guard to accompany. 不过,葫县本来就不大,此一去也不过几条街的距离,很快他们就来到了大牢,那管牢见是县衙门派来的人,验看了两个公人的腰牌后,便让他们进了大厅牢,派一个狱卒陪同。 Six people cannot lead the way, across a garden, the front transmits one to shout at the bawl suddenly, because of time of quiet, but can also hear the pointed weapons clash sound. That two Duke person is startled, quickly draws out the waist sword, draws out the blade for the prison guard who they guide, startled called out pretentiously: „Was not good, has an accident!” 六人前行不过,穿过一个庭院,前方忽然传来一阵叱喝叫骂声,因为夜深人静,还能听到兵刃磕碰声。那两个公人吃了一惊,急忙拔出腰刀,为他们带路的狱卒也拔出刀来,装模作样地惊叫道:“不好,出事了！” Three people welcomed quickly forward, Li Mubai and Li Yanju was somewhat intense, has a mind to retreat no one to guide, has to brace oneself to follow three Duke people to run forward. 三人快步向前迎去,李慕白和李言矩有些紧张,有心退却又无人带路,只好硬着头皮跟着三个公人向前跑。 Front one revolution, is a road, the road is not a straight line, front not long one section, is a corner, at this time saw on the front wall the fierce combat, flashes, some obvious people are slaughtering in the road, on the lights by the wall was reflected the form on the wall. 前方一转,便是一条甬道,甬道并非一条直线,前面不长一截,然后就是一个拐弯,这时就见前方墙壁上刀光剑影,闪动不已,显见是有人正在甬道里厮杀,被壁上灯火将身影映在了墙上。 On road front that wall the person's shadow sways from side to side unceasingly, the ground is also lying down a person, looks at the clothes robe is actually the robe of then ordinary citizens, quiet silent, as if had died, side also has also the Duke people, just and a person who wears the prison uniform wrestles in the same place. 甬道前方那堵墙上人影扭动不断,地上还躺着一个人,看衣袍却是寻常百姓的便袍,寂寂无声,似乎已经死了,旁边还有还有一个公人,正和一个身着囚服的人扭打在一起。 Three Duke people who accompany Li Mubai and Li Yanju catches up with lifted the blade to throw immediately, Li Yanju was only ordinary citizens, Li Mubai, even if has seen some world, where also saw has escaped from prison this matter, immediately halted trembling, enters does not dare to enter, draws back does not dare to draw back. 陪同李慕白和李言矩赶来的三个公人立即举刀扑了上去,李言矩只是寻常百姓,李慕白纵然见过些世面,又哪见过越狱这回事,当即战战兢兢地站住,进也不敢进,退也不敢退。 Su Xuntian is holding a body of person condemned to death, grabs the two wrists/skills of corpse to sway back and forth everywhere, does to wrestle to slaughter the shape, suddenly three Duke people throw, brandishes a sword on that corpse chops randomly, blood stream his. Li Yanju only thinks that on face one wet, puts out a hand to wipe, is the blood that splashes, frightens two to turn, immediately fainted. 苏循天抱着一具死囚的尸体,抓着尸体的两只手腕正满地打滚,做扭打厮杀状,忽然三个公人扑过来,挥刀在那尸体上一通乱剁,血流了他一身。李言矩只觉脸上一湿,伸手一抹,全是溅来的鲜血,吓得两眼一翻,当即晕了过去。 Su Xuntian relaxes secretly, hurries to fling that corpse, shouts greatly: „Quickly! The people condemned to death escape from prison , helping quickly!” 苏循天暗暗松了口气,赶紧把那死尸一甩,大喊道:“快！死囚越狱,快去帮忙！” That three Duke person „hacks to death” „prisoner who that escaped from prison”, immediately overruns toward the road, Li Mubai tremble is standing, sees the person's shadow that on the wall slaughters to be even more intense, because of joining of three new forces, ended the fight rapidly, the person's shadow that on the wall stands as before, is puts on the official's costume and wears Zaomao the prison guard appearance, this relaxes, until this time he discovered that the crotch is wet, was frightens unexpectedly urinates the pants. 那三个公人“砍死了”那个“越狱的囚犯”,马上又往甬道里冲过去,李慕白哆哆嗦嗦地站着,就见墙上厮杀的人影愈发激烈,因为三个生力军的加入,迅速结束了战斗,墙上依旧站立的人影,都是穿公服、戴皂帽的狱卒模样,这才松了口气,直到此时他才发现胯下湿漉漉的,竟是吓得尿了裤子。 : Asked the monthly ticket honestly! :诚求月票！ ( To be continued..)
