Chapter 1931 The use of utensils, the distinction between public and private


    At dusk, Wei Duan, who had been interrogating for a whole day, finally just went home for a short while, and then rushed back to the Senate. Several subordinates were discussing in one place, and they asked, "What happened?" 』


    "what? This...returning to the law, I heard that the person who has been the mastermind...』


    "what? ”Wei Duan could not help but widen his eyes, and asked in surprise, “When did it happen? And how to catch it? 』He always thought that he should be the fastest here, but he didn''t expect someone to run ahead of him. Could it be that Ruan Yu is not the person in charge? But in the testimony, many people still point to Ruan Yu.


    『I heard that Captain Zhang led people outside the city to intercept him, and he was encountering a thief absconding...』


    『Is there a confession? Wei Duan asked again.


    Regarding this question, everyone shook their heads to express their ignorance. The personnel situation in General Hussar''s mansion is relatively closed. Even if there are some news, most of them are some rough outlines, and the specific situation is naturally beyond the reach of these small officials. .


    Wei Duan was silent for a moment, although he was unavoidably curious and resentful, after all, if he said it, his child''s arm was folded on the mastermind, whether it was Ruan Yu or the person in charge who was caught by Zhang Xiu, they were both He deserves death! "Don''t discuss this matter too much! Quickly sort out the testimony! This is the main task of the master, and it must not be neglected! 』


    The subordinates nodded again and again when they heard the words, and then began to disperse, sorting out and summarizing the testimony of yesterday, and even if necessary, they needed to bring the criminals again to question and check some vague statements, and there were many things.


    Wei Duan sat down, looked through some of the prepared confessions, and found that there were many contradictions in them. He knew that most of them were under torture. Then, in order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, the prisoner responded to what the interrogator said. What, cause some discrepancies.


    The biggest problem is Ruan Yu.


    Some people confessed that Ruan Yu was the one who initiated it at the time, and that Ruan Yu led people to burn down the Zuixian Tower, but some people said that it was not Ruan Yu who was going to the Zuixian Tower from the beginning, but someone else led them. Ruan Yu went to...


    These two situations are completely different.


    Wei Duan has heard of Ruan Yu to some extent. Because Ruan Yu was related to Chen Liuren, when Cai Yong was still in Luoyang, he studied with Cai Yong for a period of time, and received a lot of praise from Cai Yong, saying that his articles were refined and like everyone else, and then He is also proficient in music theory, and even created some piano chapters, which became famous for a while.


    Speaking of which, this Ruan Yu is from the same school as General Hussar...


    Then, of the two testimonies at hand, which one is better to use?


    The more down and out a person is, the more they can feel the benefits of power. Wei Duan was left idle for a while, and tasted the coldest suffering. Naturally, he was very concerned about the power he had finally obtained, but the problem was that Wei Duan didn''t know what Fei Qian was thinking...


    For Wei Duan, Feiqian is like an abyss. Although anyone can see it, it is necessary to measure what is at the bottom of the abyss and see what is hidden in it, but it is covered with clouds and mist.


    Ask?


    Can''t ask. Because if you ask, it means that you are not capable enough, and you need to rely on Fei Qian''s guidance to take the next step, and even Wei Duan himself doesn''t like the kind of subordinates who just say a word, move, click and take a step, not to mention that they don''t know how to do it. How much favored Wei Duan himself has he received?


    Speaking of being favored by hussars, it must be that black, fat and short boy Pang Tong.


    It''s a pity that I...


    Hey, Wei Duan let out a long sigh, and truly realized what it means to make a mistake and end up with eternal hatred. Now he is like a technician who started working without a license. He wants to lick Fei Qian, but he doesn''t know how to start.


    Should I turn in both different confessions?


    Wei Duan also immediately vetoed such an idea, because it represented irresponsibility. What are the subordinates going to do? The official position was given to him, and Fei Qian wanted to solve the problem by himself, not to create the problem. I didn''t see that there was already a kind of scorpion watching from the side, ready to replace it at any time? Wouldn''t it be the best reason for Hussar to replace himself by doing this by himself?


    So I can only choose one, but which one should I choose?


    Is killing Ruan Yu the mastermind?


    Or does it mean that Ruan Yu is just a facade pushed by these people, and actually has little direct relationship with him?


    Having a headache, Wei Duan frowned deeply, because this may be a decision that will determine his subsequent official career.


    …(*T_T*)…


    In comparison, Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who have no official positions for the time being and are just a small official in the Senate, are relatively relaxed.


    When the sky falls, there will naturally be a big head to support it. Of course, the current Guo Tu and Feng Ji are not in the category of big heads, because they have shrunk a lot. They need sunshine, rain and dew, and need to get another chance, and the two people who lost their favor together also lost the necessary conditions to compete with each other, so the relationship between the two people has been greatly eased invisibly, and they can even sit down and drink together little wine.


    Men, in their teens and twenties, most of them brag when drinking, tease or talk about women, but after they get older, although they still have lust, it is no longer an absolute need, and more power is needed. Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who have gone from extravagance to frugality, are naturally even more so, and they return to this aspect in a few sentences.


    『The hussars are like this...』 Feng Jizi took a sip of the wine, then threw a piece of pickled vegetables in his mouth, "I''m not afraid..."


    『What are you afraid of? Guo Tu picked up the chopsticks, hesitated for a while among the pickled vegetables, and finally lost interest, and put down the chopsticks again, "If you are afraid, should you still ride the horse?" 』


    『That’s true…』 Feng Ji glanced at Guo Tu, secretly laughing. Are you not used to such bad food? So Fengji deliberately picked up another chopstick and threw it into his mouth, biting it loudly, and then suddenly his face changed slightly.


    This piece is too salty, it’s over.


    Guo Tu was shaking his head and sighing, not noticing the change in Feng Ji. It has been some time since we arrived in Guanzhong, and Guo Tu, who has always been used to guessing people''s hearts, can''t help but say that Fei Qian and Yuan Shao have completely different behavior patterns.


    If it was Yuan Shao, what would he do if he encountered such a thing?


    Well, Yuan Shao should not encounter such a thing...


    Because Yuan Shao will not break the old rules at all, even before giving some orders, Yuan Shao has to hesitate again and again, weigh the pros and cons, and then wait until everyone loses interest in this matter, maybe Yuan Shao will give orders to correct some things , It''s not like Fei Qian at all, blatantly overcoming thorns and thorns.


    Since it''s overcoming thorns and thorns, it is natural to be hung with some flesh and blood.


    Yuan Shao...


    Guo Tu suddenly felt a little palpitated, because he found that he couldn''t quite remember what Yuan Shao was like? Logically speaking, Guo Tu is by Yuan Shao''s side almost every day, and he can see Yuan Shao''s face every day when he raises his head. He can even detect the change of Yuan Shao''s mentality from Yuan Shao''s subtle behaviors of raising his eyebrows and twitching the corners of his mouth. , but it should be such a familiar person, an old lord, why did he blur Yuan Shao''s face?


    Guo Tu couldn''t help coughing, and then concealed the change in his eyes.


    The dead are gone, it still depends on the present.


    Different from Wei Duan, Wei Duan is an unlicensed technician who doesn''t know how to lick, while Guo Tu is a senior technician who has graduated from Yecheng and is almost in the state of Dzogchen. Naturally, he has a lot of experience in how to lick.


    『This time, I’m afraid it’s going to be head-scratching...』 Guo Tu smiled, 『Such stupid people think that they can fake public opinion and blackmail hussars, but they don’t know that public opinion is the most capricious...』


    Feng Ji also nodded, and then said: "If someone''s expectations are correct, tomorrow Hushi will appease the people in the city and show his kindness... In this way, half of these people will be dead..."


    『The remaining half depends on the families involved…” Guo Tu said slowly, “If you know how to do it, you can live a little longer.


    Feng Ji was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "If you and I can face Huqi directly, and we have to make a word, we won''t be wasting the hard work of the day..."


    Guo Tu couldn''t help it either, and sighed.


    The sadness of being a technician is that I licked it hard, but unfortunately there are still two or three floors, the master didn''t see it or feel it...


    Talking about the various means among the gentry, in Shandong, where the competition is more intense and the phenomenon of crowding and stampede is more obvious, it is naturally more colorful.


    In Guo Tu''s consciousness, the most taboo thing for the superior is the violation of their ruling power. On weekdays, he was laughing and joking, and even took the initiative to be courteous to corporals, and it was not a problem to spread mats and shoes for celebrities. Even when Yuan Shao was still a prefect, he did such things a lot, but if it involved Yuan Shao''s own fundamental right to rule, Then Yuan Shao will definitely receive the most powerful counterattack.


    It was as if Tian Feng was going to propose to welcome the emperor at that time, Guo Tu knew that the opportunity to stumble Tian Feng had come.


    This time the students from Chang’an used cheating as an excuse to cause trouble. From Guo Tu’s point of view, it was not a matter of cheating or not. Therefore, in fact, it is more because these students are unwilling to lose their qualifications to be "honest and virtuous corporals", and they are not used to the transition from being begged to begging.


    These idiots are too young...


    Guo Tu shook his head slightly.


    If it were in Shandong, no one would care about it at all. It’s not that these people would support the procuratorial examination or the examination examination, but that they couldn’t make a fuss on the grounds of fraud, taking the examination for them? Isn''t this a common thing? You can buy someone to replace you with a few dollars, isn''t that what everyone does? What is there to talk about? Otherwise, what are the keepers doing?


    Of course, at the beginning, some people couldn''t get used to it, but later, when more people did it, they became accustomed to it, like finding two or three companions for their master''s children. Isn''t it normal to do it with reading?


    So I saw this thorny road chosen by Hussar General Fei Qian...


    『Tsk tsk...』Guo Tu drank a cup, not sure if he was expressing emotion or savoring it.


    Thinking back then, I seemed to be full of pride. Now that I am middle-aged, it seems that I only have the ability to kneel and lick. The rest of my ideals seem to be the same as Yuan Shao''s face and appearance. They have faded, and I can''t even remember them.


    『Brother Guo,』 Feng Ji said, seeming to be looking forward to it, and a little apprehensive, "I wonder if Huqi can see it..."


    Guo Tu patted the table lightly, "You and I are this..."


    Feng Ji nodded, shook his head again, then picked up the wine glass and drank it down. Yes, isn’t that the case now? It’s just a tool under Hussars. If Hussars are willing to use it, they will use it naturally.


    It’s like the same jar, maybe it can be used to hold wine, it can also be used to hold water, and it can even be used to hold excrement and urine...


    …(／_＼)(╯︵╰)…


    Han Hussar General Mansion.


    In the political affairs hall.


    Fei Qian smelled a complex smell rich in feces and urine, and met Ruan Yu.


    In the prison, even though there are windows and ventilation, there is still a chilly air that can''t dissipate. Ruan Yu just stayed in the prison for a day and a night, and it seems that he has been soaked by this smell, and his whole body is in a mess. It seems that they can vaguely see the dark green lines emanating from his body.


    『Come on! Take Brother Ruan and go freshen up! ’ Fei Qian frowned slightly, called his servants, and took Ruan Yu down to freshen up first.


    How can I say that Ruan Yu is also one of Cai Yong''s apprentices, and Fei Qian wants to meet him to some extent.


    Once you enter the Jianghu, it is as deep as the sea.


    Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.


    Of course, it can also be said that once you enter a rich family, you will be as deep as the sea, or once you enter the court, you will be as treacherous as a prison.


    Because they are all saying the same thing.


    Benefit.


    But Fei Qian couldn''t figure out why Ruan Yu went into the muddy water this time, and made himself filthy with feces and urine? What is Ruan Yu doing? Where are the points of interest?


    Fei Qian didn''t understand, and Ruan Yu didn''t understand even more. After seeing Fei Qian, he still looked a little dumbfounded, as if he hadn''t fully woke up from the chaos.


    Fei Qian couldn''t help sniffing his nose secretly, and then felt that there was really no smell, so he said: "If you talk about it, you should call Brother Ruan "senior brother"..."


    Ruan Yu froze for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "This...don''t dare to be..."


    Pang Tong, who was sitting beside him, rolled his eyes.


    Fei Qian couldn''t help but chuckled twice, feeling more and more that Ruan Yuruo really had such a character and couldn''t do anything big, but he wasn''t completely sure, after all, Sima Yi was the first to be beautiful, um, first obsessed with the past, who Do you know if Ruan Yu is pretending to be like this?


    『I heard that the former master gave Brother Ruan the "Poetry"? 』Fei Qian wanted to find a breakthrough.


    Ruan Yu nodded, "Exactly. ’ Then he shut his mouth.


    Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.


    Ruan Yu remained silent.


    Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong. Pang Tong glanced at Ruan Yu again.


    Ruan Yu still cherishes words like gold.


    『This…』 Fei Qian suddenly didn’t know what to say, pondered for a moment, and asked, “I have a question, but I don’t know the word “韡韡”, what’s the answer? 』


    Ruan Yu nodded, and quickly said: "The "Wei" is also Wei Hua, with a bright and grand appearance. There is a saying in "Poetry·Xiaoya·Changdi", "The flower of Tangdi, Ebuwei Wei"...Huh? Could it be that the hussars said that a certain person violated Chang Di''s principles and betrayed brotherhood? 』


    Fei Qian laughed and said, "Isn''t it? 』


    Ruan Yu shook his head, "No. Personal friendship is private, and pleading for the people is public. How can one abolish the public because of privateness? Therefore, it is not for the back. 』


    『Aha! Pang Tong next to him couldn''t bear it, he sat up and opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Fei Qian, so he could only sit back again and snorted slightly.


    『That’s it…』 Fei Qian thought for a while, then said with a smile, “Brother Ruan, please come with me…”


    Out of the Political Affairs Hall, Fei Qian led Ruan Yu forward, changed horses in the square, and then came to the prison in the south of the city. In Chang''an City, there are two prisons, one is smaller, the North Prison, and the other is larger, the South Prison.


    Dangnan Prison is naturally mostly detaining those who were arrested that day. Fei Qian stood at the entrance of the prison and did not enter. Instead, he asked Ruan Yu to walk around inside.


    Ruan Yu didn''t understand, but he didn''t have any objections, and followed the guards into the prison. In the prison, the inmates were no different from Ruan Yu who hadn''t bathed and trimmed, and it was even worse. Some of the tortured were still bloody, and the whole prison was stinky.


    Ruan Yu couldn''t help but frowned, thinking that Fei Qian wanted to let him know the comparison between being outside and being in prison, but Ruan Yu didn''t care at all, as long as his heart is at ease, there will be colorful clouds.


    『Yes...this is...』


    『Ahhh, this is Brother Ruan! 』


    『Master Ruan! here! Mr. Ruan! 』


    『Ah woo…』


    In the prison, Ruan Yu, who was clean and dressed in brocade robes, seemed to be slowly falling from the sky with the sunshine that is rare in prisons. Immediately caused a commotion in the prison, countless or dirty, or thin, or blood-stained arms stretched out from the wooden fence, grabbing randomly in the air, as if trying to catch this ray of sunlight It''s like grabbing them all in your own hands.


    『Master Ruan, are you here to save me? 』


    『Brother Ruan, look here! here! Get me out quickly! 』


    『Brother Ruan, I am…』


    『Young Master Ruan…』


    The jailer beside Ruan Yu yelled, and unceremoniously beat with a short stick, beating all the arms that were going to be pulled on Ruan Yu''s body so that they retracted.


    When begging turned into wailing, unfulfilled hope turned into resentment.


    『Traitor! "A voice sounded a little abruptly, "He is a traitor!" He betrayed us! 』


    『…』 Ruan Yu was stunned.


    The hand that was waving excitedly in the wooden fence slowly stopped, and then revealed red, black, or white eyeballs, and then fixed on Ruan Yu''s body. , "Traitor, you are a traitor..."


    『This bastard! You must have betrayed us, so you can be so free! 』


    『Ruan Yu, I blame someone for trusting you by mistake...I actually believed you by mistake...Ruan Yu, betraying friends for glory, despicable and shameless! Kill him that day! 』


    『Ruan Yu! You must die! 』


    『Evil thief! I can''t wait to blow my bones to ashes! 』


    『He~tui! 』


    A gust of thick phlegm that seemed to have some bloodshot spit out, just landed on Ruan Yu''s robe, which seemed to pollute the original brilliance a bit.


    『Bah! 』


    『Poof! 』


    Countless foul-smelling, viscous liquids, or semi-solids, sprayed out from between the yellow dies or black decayed teeth, and then landed chaotically in front of and behind Ruan Yu, and seemed to land on Ruan Yu''s face and body. In his heart, he stared wide-eyed, looking blankly at everything in front of him, seeing these people who were calling "brother Ruan Mr. Ruan" affectionately at one moment, and then shouting "thief and beast" full of hatred the next moment, It seems that these people want to eat his meat raw...
