Chapter 19: The End of an Era (2)

  Chapter 19 Section 2

  Liu Yitiao followed Huang Shan back to the county government office, where Yang Bofang was playing a game of Go with Wang Zhihong. The game being played was one that made Liu Yitiao dizzy just by looking at it.

  Yang Bofang saw Liu Yitiao come in and felt a bit surprised. He put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Liu Yitiao, saying: "Yitiao, how did you come? Didn't I tell you yesterday that you don't need to come for the time being?"

  "Huh?" This time it was Liu Yitiao who was surprised. Yang Bofang still didn't know anything about the situation until now.

  He glanced at Wang Zhihong and didn't expect this guy's mouth was quite tight.

  Wang Zhihong saw Liu Yitia and Huang Shan return together, with no injuries on their bodies, and knew that the matter had been settled. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally put down completely. Seeing Liu Yitia look at him, he lightly shook his head towards him. Such things are better known by fewer people.

  Liu Yitiao understood the implication and personally spoke to Yang Bofang, saying: "Uncle Yang, last night when I returned home, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't put my mind at ease. My parents and younger siblings are all in prison, I don't know if they're hungry or full, warm or cold. So I hurriedly brought some clothes and food for them, hoping to request that Lord Wang allow me to enter the prison to visit them."

  "Oh," Yang Bofang nodded and said: "This is also a common human feeling, Wang Xiancheng is also a famous filial son, I suppose he won't stop it?"

  Yang Bofang shifted his gaze to Wang Zhihong, and his tone was somewhat unpleasant when he spoke. It seemed like he would turn against him if there was any disagreement.

  "Of course, of course." Wang Zhihong smiled and said: "There is no provision in the Tang Dynasty law that prohibits visiting relatives in prison. Liu Xiaoge has a kind heart to visit his parents, it's a filial act, no one will stop him."

  He said and then instructed Huang to: "Huang, take this young man to the main prison, let him see his family and spend some time together."

  "Thank you, Lord Wang. I'll take my leave now." Liu Yitiao said with gratitude, then bowed to both Wang Zhihong and Yang Bofang before following the yellow-shirted man out of the door.

  After coming out, Liu Yitiao asked Huang Shan: "Huang, my parents are all right here? They must have been frightened by this incident?"

  Huang Shan smiled lightly and said: "Brother Liu, you can rest assured now. In the county yamen's prison cells, everything is under my control. No one will be rude to Old Man Liu and his family."

  "In fact, after bringing back Mr. Liu and the others yesterday afternoon, Master Wang had already personally explained the cause and effect of this matter to Mr. Liu, and on the spot accepted Liu Er as his disciple, also taking a few books for him to study. So now, except for being very worried about you, everything is fine with Mr. Liu and the others."

  "Oh?" Liu Yitiao felt a warmth in his heart and secretly praised Wang Zhihong for being quite thorough in handling things.

  "What is Lord Wang going to do about the matter of Wang Kui? Can Captain Huang tell us something about it?" Now that he knew his family was safe, Liu Yitiao began to ask about Wang Kui's situation again. Although the previous plan and actions were all devised and carried out by him, the final decision-making power still rested in Wang Zhihong's hands. His decisions directly affected the safety of Liu Yitiao and his family afterwards, so he couldn't help but be concerned.

  Huang Shan looked at Liu Yitiao with a profound gaze, he couldn't understand why the young man in front of him, who was not particularly tall or old, would appear so different from others, so mature and decisive.

  He said to Liu Yitiao, "Master Wang's decision should be the clearest for Brother Liu. Didn't you already discuss it with Master Wang yesterday? Catching a thief and catching a dirty one, catching an adulterer and catching a pair. Now that we've caught the dirty thief, can he still escape?"

  "Oh?" A glint of excitement flashed across Liu's face as he exclaimed: "Could it be that Mo Wang Kui has already been caught?"

  Huang Shan nodded and said, "At the same time we returned, someone has already gone to Wang Kui's mansion. At this moment, Wang Kui is probably reunited with his son in the great prison."

  "So soon?!" Liu Yitiao was somewhat surprised, and Wang Zhihong had not even examined the case before rushing to arrest someone. It seemed that Wang Zhihong really intended to frame Wang Kui thoroughly. First, he would arrest the person, then examine the case and find evidence later. Wang Zhihong's plan was even more ruthless than Liu Yitiao's previous strategy. Wang Kui was in trouble.

  Huang Shan smiled mysteriously and explained to Liu Yitiao in a low voice, "Brother Liu may not be very clear, but for some reason, the county magistrate of our San Yuan County has been vacant for three years. The county's main affairs have always been handled by the county lieutenant. This time, Wang Kui's case is a good opportunity for County Lieutenant Wang."

  "Before, Wang Kui had his uncle Liu Peng backing him up, acting tyrannically in San Yuan, not putting County Magistrate Wang in his eyes at all. But now, Liu Peng has fallen, and Wang Kui's retribution has arrived."

  "These things wouldn't have happened so quickly, because Wang Xian was not fully prepared and didn't dare to make a move easily. But your punch at the vegetable market brought everything forward."

  "Hehe, just luck." Liu Yitiao chuckled foolishly.

  Huang Shan looked at Liu Yitiao and said with a different tone: "Luck is sometimes also a kind of ability, not everyone's luck will be so good. At least Wang Kui's luck was not very good, this time he completely fell down and there is no chance for him to turn over."

  "What is meant by good and evil will ultimately be rewarded, Wang Kui usually deals with things in a straightforward manner, doing good deeds, and has nothing to hide from others, so no one would want to deal with him."

  Huang Shan smiled and did not comment on Liu Yitiao's words.

  Two people came to the cleanest cell in the deepest part of the prison, where Liu Laoshi, Liu Hezi, Liu Xiaohui and Liu Er were all sitting. Liu Laoshi and his wife chatted on one side, while Liu Xiaohui pestered Er to teach her to read and write.

  Among the four, Liu Xiaohui was the first to see Liu Yitiao. This little girl's dependence on Liu Yitiao was no less than that of Liu He's, so when she saw Liu Yitiao, she excitedly shouted: "Big brother, big brother, Xiaohui wants a hug! Xiaohui wants a hug!"

  "Brother One!" The other three also stood up upon hearing the voice, all looking at Liu Yitiao with joyful expressions.

  "Dad! Mom! Second brother! Little sister!" Liu Yitiao also happily called out, and as soon as he entered the door, he picked up Liu Xiaohui and said to Liu Laoshi and others: "Sorry, I made you worry."

  Liu Lao nodded and said: "No trouble is good, no trouble is good!"

  Liu He then went forward and pulled Liu Yitiao to look up and down, left and right, until he didn't find any injuries before feeling at ease. Pulling Liu Yitiao to sit down together, they chatted warmly.

  "Brother! Have you caught the villain? Hmm, looking at your expression, it must be true. Brother, you're so amazing! I admire you!"

  Liu Yitiao chuckled and patted Liu Ertiao's head, it seemed that he had successfully established an invincible big brother image in Liu Ertiao's heart.
