Ping'er walked to the gate, asked the guards to wait, and just opened the door of the private room when she heard Zhao Gongzi's voice: "Yo, Miss Ping'er, long time no see." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ping'er glanced at him and asked Lord Shui to take a step to speak. Lord Shui walked out of the gate, and the guards whispered a few words to him, and the two of them hurriedly got into the carriage and hurried to the palace, and the guards described what had happened along the way.

In the afternoon, a group of merchants entered from the south gate with ten boxes of goods, and the public security regulations of the capital stipulated that more than five boxes must be opened and inspected for registration. The guards told them to stop and inspect the goods according to the regulations, but the captain of the caravan was very uncooperative, shouting that the guards would not be able to eat and walk around because of the delay in their delivery.

The guards were already doing their jobs, so they were not frightened, they pulled out their knives and forced them to stop and inspect the goods, and several people on the other side also showed their weapons, and the scene was deadlocked. The captain of the caravan hit the chest of the guards beside him twice with his fist, and shouted: "This goods are for the palace, and whoever bumbles them will be responsible." The guards were so unaccustomed to his attitude that they ignored his insistence on inspecting the goods.

After a stalemate for half an hour, the head of the guard did not give an order to let him go, and the caravan captain glanced at everyone, and his attitude suddenly softened, saying that their master's cousin was a waiter of the criminal department, and he should be accommodating for the sake of the face of the waiter of the criminal department.

The head of the guard team snorted, and said with a smile that their adult was Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who only listened to Lord Shui, and didn't know any criminal department attendants. And in accordance with the regulations, no matter whose face it is, no matter whose goods it is, they must be unpacked and inspected.

The captain is full of anger, and these guards really don't get in. He hesitated for a moment, waved his hand forward and shouted "go", but those people looked at but did not dare to move. The head of the guard suddenly amplified his voice and shouted to the guards: "Brothers, the people of the second group will come over to take over immediately, we will work hard today, and inspect the goods with the second group, I will see who dares to break into this city gate." The guards shouted hello in unison.

The captain sneered, put on a posture of contempt for people, and also shouted loudly: "The squire of the Criminal Department is the third grade, and the Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion is the third grade, so your Lord Shui has to give face in front of our master's cousin, and if it is ugly, let him lift his shoes, and he will have to do the same." ”

This sentence stimulated all the guards at once, and the people of the second group heard it from a distance, and immediately ran over and pulled out their knives and circled around. The head of the guard also pulled out his knife and moved really, his voice and the scar on his face were unique to the appearance of bandits at this time, and several people with weapons in the caravan were instantly stunned. The head of the guard took the lead in escorting the caravan to the city, and the captain struggled and was knocked unconscious by the head of the guard.

"Nonsense", hearing this water Lord shouted, "Where are the people and goods now? What kind of goods are they?" The chief guard swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to say, the adult looked at him, "Haven't opened the box yet?" The chief guard shook his head, and the lord let him say that it was okay.

He cleared his throat and said, "All the people are locked up in the prison of the government office, and all ten boxes of goods have been transported to the government office, right...... It is a military padded jacket worn by the Praetorian Guards in the palace in winter. The adult's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was no longer able to reprimand.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, the lord asked the chief guard to ride a horse to the Narcissus Residence to find Zhang Zhutou, but don't alarm the other head catchers, Zhang Zhutou knew where Li Zhutou's house was, and asked him to call Li Zhutou to rush back to the mansion together.

As soon as Lord Shui entered the gate, the head of the guard team at the south city gate immediately ran over to lead the way, "The young man is too impulsive...... the team leader lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, "Who knows about this matter?" The team leader reported: "Except for the guards at the south city gate, the guards in the palace and the chief of the guard, no one is involved anymore, and when we came back with people and goods, the civil officials in the government have already let the government go back." ”

The adult sighed and said as he walked: "You are now the head of the guard, not the previous king of the mountain, you have to change your temperament, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." The head of the guard bent down all the way and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes......."

At this time, it was already dark, and the lord looked at the boxes of military jackets and said, "The matter has come to this, and the most important thing now is to find a way to solve this matter." He picked up a military jacket and looked at it, "There is no perfect thing in this world, we just need to find out his flaws, and it is reasonable to arrest people and detain goods, but quickly." ”

The head of the guard didn't understand too much, and the adult looked at him and said, "As I expected, someone will come to the door tomorrow morning to ask for goods, so we must find evidence of their violation before then." ”

Lord Shui and the head of the guard took out a military jacket from each box and walked to the inner hall, carefully observing the inside and outside of the clothes. There seems to be nothing abnormal on the surface, and the selection of materials meets the requirements of military supplies, and the workmanship is exquisite.

Li Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou had already listened to the chief of the guard on the road to tell what had happened, and hurriedly walked in to look at the room full of military jackets. Zhang Zhutou looked at the head of the guard and complained: "The dog can't change the ****, and every day he knows how to cause trouble for adults." "The team leader now has a serious job, and he relies on Zhang Zhutou's recommendation, and he doesn't dare to reply when he is scolded at this moment, and he lowers his head.

Li Zhutou picked up the military jacket and looked at it, and asked the adults what they wanted to do, "General Li has led troops to fight all the year round, you should have been in contact with military supplies since you were a child, can you find out the unreasonable places from this military jacket, so that we also have a legitimate reason to arrest people and detain goods." The Lord said.

Li Zhutou propped up the military jacket with the palm of his hand and weighed it, asked the head of the guard to go and get the scale, and said to the adult: "The imperial court stipulates that the weight of the military jacket should reach five catties, and I feel that this is only four catties." Everyone showed a little smile on their faces, and Zhang Zhutou interjected: "The Praetorian Guards in the palace are not like the army that fights at the border gates, and the requirements may not be so high." ”

Li Zhutou thought about it and felt that there was also this possibility, although the law did not mention the weight of the Praetorian Guard's jacket separately, but it would not necessarily be done according to the specifications of the border army, perhaps it was a temporary requirement in this mission.

The scale was brought over and weighed three catties and eight taels, and the ten military jackets were all three catties and eight taels, Li Zhutou couldn't be sure whether this number was a temporary request in this mission, or if they cut corners and there was a standard, so they had to continue to look for it.

The entire inner hall became very quiet, only Li Zhutou was seriously checking the military jacket, and the others didn't know where to start at all, pinning their hopes on him, staring straight at him.

Li Zhutou studied it for a while, and proposed to open one piece to see the materials inside, but the adult was a little hesitant. If the problem cannot be found, the arrest and seizure of goods can be reluctantly explained as a misunderstanding, but the crime of destroying the military jacket is not small. When asked how sure he was, he shook his head and said, "I can see if there is a problem with the cotton they choose, but I am not sure if this group is adulterated." ”

The adult was hesitating, and the head of the guard next to him suddenly raised his hand and shouted to the adult, everyone looked at him, and he said tremblingly, "Big ...... My lord, my lady is good at embroidery, and there is no problem with making clothes and changing clothes, as long as the fabric is not torn when Li catches the head, I think my lady can restore it. ”

Zhang Zhutou laughed beside him, "Then what are you waiting for, Lao Li, dismantle." Li Zhutou picked the edge with a knife and pulled out a ball of cotton. He put the cotton in the candlelight, carefully observed the color of the cotton, and repeatedly tore it with his hands a few times, subconsciously shaking his head. Everyone stared at him and the atmosphere was very tense, he took out a few more balls of cotton, tried the same method repeatedly, and finally nodded and smiled after a few times.

When I looked up, I was startled, I was so involved just now that I didn't notice that several pairs of eyes were staring at me. He picked up the cotton and said, "It's mixed with waste cotton yarn." Several people were relieved to hear this.

Everyone dismantled the remaining nine military jackets, took out the cotton and gave it to Li Zhutou for inspection, he took a deep breath after checking all of them and said: "These nine pieces are all mixed with waste cotton yarn, I think the ten boxes of three hundred pieces should be the same." The team leader jumped excitedly when he heard this, and Zhang Zhutou glared at him.

Lord Shui looked at the military jackets all over the ground and pondered for a while, and then told the chief of the guard to take the guards of the palace to carry ten boxes of military jackets to the warehouse, and told them that this matter was not allowed to be publicized to the public. Let Li Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou go back to rest first, and don't mention this matter to Zhou Zhutou and Xu Zhutou. Li Zhutou asked: "Then Mr. Wei won't give an account of the head catcher? After all, he is the head catcher, and this matter can be regarded as a public matter." ”

Lord Shui paused for a moment and seemed to forget about this person, before Yiyun came, he really didn't expect this fourth young master to do anything, but on the night of the ambush in the Qian Mansion, he understood that the fourth young master was not here to mess around. But after all, this matter is a trouble caused by his subordinates, and the best people know as little as possible, and I don't want to trouble the fourth young master to worry about it.

He said to Li Zhutou: "Forget it, he just took office and a lot of things are not very clear, and he can't help much, so you don't need to tell him specifically, let's talk about it when you know." After speaking, he waved his hand and dispersed.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhutou rushed to the mansion very early thinking about the previous night's events, and saw the housekeeper of Lord Zhu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and a strange man waiting at the gate, he thought that he would say hello to Steward Zhu quite quickly: "Is there something? Why don't you go in?" The housekeeper opened his mouth and pointed to the guard at the door, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Zhutou smiled and told him that Master Shui would be there soon, and he would wait patiently. As he was walking inside, he was stopped by Yiyun and asked, "Zhang Zhutou, is Madam okay?" ”

Zhang Zhutou said, "Huh?", "Madam?", Yiyun continued: "You were suddenly called away last night, and the guys from Narcissus Ju said that your wife had a stomachache, how is it now? Zhang Zhutou: "Ahhhh After saying that, he walked inside, and Yiyun always felt weird when he looked at him from behind.

Yiyun was walking to the courtyard while thinking about the events of the previous night, first Lord Shui was suddenly called away, no one could tell what happened, and in less than half an hour, Zhang Zhutou was called away again, although it was a stomach ache from Mrs., but it was too coincidental to make people believe.

But if something really happened to the government, why hide it, speaking of which, he is a member of the uncle's mansion, so he is naturally on the side of Lord Shui.

Thinking about it, I was inexplicably upset, the tip of my nose was sore, and I didn't seem to know how to breathe. I think that the adult really regards himself as a useless young master, and he only relied on his father's face to get the position of chief catcher, and came to Jingzhao Mansion to make a living. Thinking about it, he gasped.

After Lord Shui entered the mansion, he invited Steward Zhu to the inner hall, and served a lot of tea and snacks, so that they could talk about their intentions.
