Chapter 42 The government closes the road

Early in the morning, the main city street was bustling, the crowd was so lively, and a shout sounded, "Everyone let go, we want to go to the Criminal Prison Department to report to the official!"

The old man who was crowded in the crowd to watch the excitement looked back, but it was Xiao Si and Lao Wan who helped Aunt Liu over, "Aunt Liu, you are finally here!

Lao Wan took Aunt Liu's arm and walked two steps, passing through the surrounding neighborhoods and greeting them with a smile, and the old man also stepped forward to help clear the way for them in front.

All the people said happily, "This time, Aunt Liu finally has a chance to find her son who has been missing for four years......"

"yes, there's hope......"

"Yes, yes, let's go and report the crime as well!"

"It's good to get people back......"

A group of people who watched the excitement, the people who reported to the official crowded in front of the gate of the criminal prison division located on the East Street, but at one end of the East Street, the Wucheng Terracotta Division suddenly erected roadblocks at both ends of the street and everywhere to reject horses, especially at the two ends of the East Avenue also set up pergolas, a small commander of the Wucheng Terracotta Division crossed the sword at his waist, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from a stall next to him at random, knocked one in his mouth, the stall owner dared not speak angrily, and even held a large handful of melon seeds to several other soldiers one by one.

The little commander staggered over with someone, raised his eyebrows casually, and announced, "Today, the East Street, West Street, South Street, North Street, and the Lord of the Fourth Street are all blocked!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a row of halberd-wielding guards stepped out from behind the Ruma Roadcard behind him, and all the heads of the grass were aimed at the people who had come to him, and the people looked at the sword of Nahuo and stopped.

"When did it happen, why haven't we heard about it?"

The old man couldn't help but bow his head and muttered in the crowd, and everyone should be.

"What are you talking about? Huh? Our Five Cities Terracotta Division is on official business, and we still have to explain it to you?"

The melon seed skin eaten in the little commander's hand spit out in the old man's face casually, and then kicked him on the knee, and the old man suddenly fell to the ground with an "oops", "I remember you, the old man, knock your night bangzi well, and there are few things to talk about the government." ”

The old man nodded again and again, bowed his waist and begged for mercy, "Yes, my lord, I was wrong, I was just curious!"

"Hmph,!"

The little commander snorted heavily, and in an instant, all the people who came to report to the official had the intention of retreating and wanted to leave temporarily.

The old man glanced at Lao Wan, which means that you can also see that the situation is wrong, so hurry up and go back first!

These officers and soldiers are not good.

Lao Wan received his gaze, looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Auntie, why don't we go back today! Come back tomorrow, anyway, the Criminal Prison Department has always been here, and we can't run." ”

"Lao Wan, you go back first, anyway, I have nothing to do at home, just sit on the curb for a while, and when these adults are over on business, I will touch it myself, I can report the case earlier, maybe my family can get it back sooner." ”

Aunt Liu fumbled and let go of his hands when she heard this, and then groped her way to the side of the road, Lao Wan was not at ease, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's it, auntie, I'll wait with you here, Xiao Si, you take Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu back first!"

Xiao Si looked at the fierce Five Cities Soldiers and Horses in front of him, and nodded, "Okay, the shopkeeper, let's go back to the store first." Then beckoned the little five and six to leave together.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu took Lao Wan's hand and thanked with empty eyes, "Thank you, Lao Wan, in the past few years, if it weren't for you, my old woman would be blind and starved to death." ”

"Auntie, don't say such things, if it weren't for the aunts' family, there would be no me now. Lao Wan helped her to a corner of the street, and then spent a few grimace coins to buy two corner stools, and the two of them sat on the curb on the side of the street, staring straight at the pergola of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

When did they let go!

They will pass when they want.

Seeing this, a soldier said to the little commander, "Commander, are you going to drive away these few remaining civilians?"

"If they want to wait, let them wait. ”

Seeing that the crowd was gradually dispersing, the little commander sneered and continued to knock on the melon seeds.

Chen Huang, who returned from the next dynasty, crossed the sparsely populated Dadong Street, and when he saw the checkpoints erected on the left and right, he blocked the entire street, and then ordered someone to drive up and ask, "I don't know what official duties the Five Cities Terracotta Division is performing, and it is going to seal off the East Street?"

When the little commander heard this, he immediately changed his smiling face, stepped forward and accused, "Chen Tingli doesn't know, it seems that some bandits have mixed into my Yingdu, and they just happened to mix into these streets, not only Dongdajie, but we have all blocked the rest of the streets, so I'm afraid that they will make trouble!"

Chen Huang frowned when he heard this, "It's just that how long will it take for you to close the road, and the people are still waiting to report to the official." ”

"Hehe, this lowly position can't be said, these bandits are running around, maybe a day, maybe half a month, but they can always catch them. The little commander arched his hands and smiled.

If they drag on like this for ten days and half a month, the case will really be stopped, and who else will report it?

Chen Huang immediately decided in his heart that it was the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were changing their methods and obstructing them, but in the face of their "soft" methods, he couldn't say anything, and the curtain could only be lifted silently looking at the people who were guarding the roadside who had not left, waiting for the news of their relatives one by one, but they didn't know when they would be able to find it back, and once again unfolded the excerpt that made Yin Zi like a critic, "Read, temporarily discussed" The four big characters of Zhu Criticism, red as blood, came into his eyes, Chen Huang's eyes were red and he looked at it over and over again, and finally raised his voice, " Drive back to the house, don't go to the yamen!"

"Yes, uncle. ”

Cheng's entourage raised the whip in his hand and drove away, in Cheng's mansion, Cheng Qingqing heard that Chen Huang had actually come back during the day, ran out happily, took his hand and said, "Why did you come back so early today, didn't you say today that you want to punish the Ruo Ao Yuejiao who was imprisoned and imprisoned!"

"I'm going to come back to handle the case, so I can accompany you more!"

Chen Huang turned her head evasively and smiled, otherwise she would see her reddish eyes.

"What do I want you to do with me, now that the people are reporting the case outside, you hurry up and go to the yamen to get things done!" Cheng Qingqing glared at him, and then drove him outside.

"Forget it today, Qingqing, I'm a little tired today. Chen Huang said with a depressed face.

"There are so many people waiting outside, how can you be tired?"

Cheng Qingqing stared at him with a puzzled expression and said hurriedly, then suddenly jumped up and grabbed his face, looking at his eyes as if he had cried, "Why are your eyes red, someone outside is bullying you?"

"Qingqing, what stupid things are you talking about, how can I, a big man, be bullied?"

Chen Huang desperately avoided her gaze, and then forced a smile.

"Then why are you hiding from me?"

Cheng Qingqing was not stupid, and kept chasing him, "Is it not going well in the court today?"

"No, everything went smoothly......"

"Are you still lying to me? Who said that you are not allowed to lie to me in this life, and you have forgotten the notes you signed?" Cheng Qingqing clasped her arms and glared at him angrily, "Do you want to say it?"

"Qingqing, don't ask...... In fact, it's not a big deal, that is, I don't have the ability of the second brother, and there is no progress in this case, so I feel sorry for those people, and finally gave them hope and made them desperate, and I also failed to live up to the trust of the princess. Chen Huang couldn't help but let out a trembling cry at the end, "Actually, it's all my fault!"

"How can you not be capable? If you are incapable, you are still a lazy person, and my father and people who are so strict with Ling Yin can agree to let you come to the court, will they all be blind!" Cheng Qingqing said.

"That's not because of your relationship, otherwise I, Chen Huang, will work hard to be a Hanshi staff member in my life. ”

Chen Huang covered his sleeves and wiped his reddish eyes and said, all said that the boy didn't flick when he had tears, but he didn't feel sad, "But I don't complain about these, and I don't complain that my parents didn't give me a good background, I only complain that I don't have the ability to do the second brother's sake, and I don't know how to solve such a problem, so I can only be helpless......"

"You wait, I'll go to the big brother now!"

Seeing this, Cheng Qingqing stomped her feet and ran to Cheng Daxin's yard.

"Don't! Qingqing, you must not disturb the eldest brother anymore, his condition has been repeatedly aggravated in the past few days, and I can't delay his recuperation with this outside matter. Chen Huang chased after her, grabbed her and said, "And even if the eldest brother comes forward, this case will not be able to be reversed, the case involves the Ruo Ao clan, so Lord Yin has already ordered me to suppress it......"

"So that's it?"

"If they trap 50,000 people in the Ao clan and let them say that they will suppress it, will there be any royal law? Or do they think they are the royal law?"

"I don't believe it, if he says the Ao family, he will press it," Cheng Qingqing tugged at the hem of his clothes and said to Qiaoyun and them, "Let's go, let's go find the eldest brother!"

"If they are bullying my father is gone, the second brother has not come back, the eldest brother is sick again, my Cheng family is weak now, those guys love power and oppression the most, and they will bully you, the Cheng aunt who has no background!"

Cheng Qingqing is in a political family, maybe she won't judge the case, but bullying the weak and relying on the power to bully others is not just a means between the women of the back house, the court is naturally like this, and rushed into Cheng Daxin's courtyard with a lot of popularity, and explained the cause and effect.

"Big brother, I know that you are not in good health now, but if the Ao family deceives people too much, the Zhou family is greedy for ink, they say that they will kill them, and they will cover up if they commit a crime! Although this case has little to do with my Cheng family, it is the first big case that Chen Huang took over, if it is at this time, our Cheng family is pressed by their Ruo Ao family, then our Cheng family will really decay day by day, second brother, my father's efforts over the years have been in vain...... Not to mention that even a Situ clan dares to give us a faceless Cheng clan now, will anyone dare to dare in the future?"

Cheng Qingqing pulled Cheng Daxin and said, although this speech was for Chen Huang, she had to pay attention to it.

"Akira, you show me your recital for today. ”

Li took a soft support, and Cheng Daxin leaned on the bed, but the situation of the half moon became more and more dwarfed, so he sat up slowly with Li's support and said to Chen Huang.

"Yes, big brother!"

Chen Huang ordered someone to present the note that Lord Yin had pressed down, put Cheng Daxin on his knees, read it several times, and asked about some details of the entire case and the causes and consequences of the case, and finally asked intently, "You said that Lord Ling Yin said that it can be checked, but it is not enough to believe the words of Zheng Guo's people?"

"Yes, big brother. ”

Chen Huang shook his head, "Actually, I don't know what Lord Ling Yin means by this, whether I am allowed to check or not?...... But today, none of the people in the court came forward to react to this case, and the five cities Terracotta Division's obstruction of our prison words with both soft and hard made me feel that Lord Yin was afraid that the case would be suspended indefinitely. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Cheng Da thought about it and said slowly.

"When I was an official in the court, I often heard that there was some disagreement between Lord Ling Yin and Captain Ruoao. It is well known that Lord Ling Yin and Master Sima are both extremely protective of their shortcomings. For the maintenance of the Ruo Ao clan, they are by no means inferior to their father. However, I heard my father talk about it occasionally, and Lord Yin seemed to dislike him as a great nephew, and he also said that Ao Duwei was ambitious. If Yue Jiao really circled 50,000 homeless people as you said, and had been preparing to rebel in the western suburbs for a long time, I am afraid that at this time, he was the first to be on guard against this eldest nephew and even killed, so he said that you can check! But now most of the military power in Yingdu has all fallen into the hands of Ruo Ao Duwei, and he has won the trust and favor of the king, whether it is the palace or the capital, his power is not small. Once you push him, it may indeed endanger the entire capital! That's why he asked you to hold a meeting, but he felt that the time had not yet come!"

Chen Huang suddenly realized when he heard this, "But this still means that this case can't be investigated, big brother, if I investigate it, I will force Ruo Ao Duwei to rebel, then it is a big mistake!"

"Well, so it's really tricky to revise the outbreak of this case at this time......" Cheng Daxin read the song a few more times and continued, "And as you and the lady said, even if these outcasts are now sent to the battlefield as migrants and conscripts, in the end, I don't know how many of them will come back alive." ”

"So I really don't know what to do, my wife and I naturally want to solve the case as soon as possible, so that maybe these homeless people can be recovered...... Otherwise......" Chen Huang said embarrassedly.

"Hmm...... I want to think about it, see how this case can be investigated, and I can cut the tofu on both sides, so that it will not affect the Ruo Ao family, but also keep the safety of the capital. ”

Cheng Daxin frowned and said, "You put this note with me first." Now that this case has been suspended, you should also let it go first, and since the missing displaced people already know where they are, we will find a way to find them if they can recover. ”

"Okay, big brother. ”

Chen Huang nodded, and his heart was finally relieved.

After Cheng Qingqing and the others left, the Li family sat on the edge of the bed and added another coat to him, and asked, "The case that the fourth sister and the fourth aunt said today is related to the Ruo Ao family, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

"It's not easy...... But it's all Cheng's business, we can't sit idly by......" Cheng Daxin looked at the performance in front of him.
