A rat slipped past the four of them unscrupulously, and stayed for a moment before getting out of the fence. The skinny prisoner saw that the mouse had slipped away, and then patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's all the fuss about a mouse. The prisoner next to the old man sat down again as he spoke, and the old man also sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, you two just came in today, so you may not be used to it, just wait for a long time." ”

Lin Nan didn't bother to pay attention to any rats, he tentatively patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother is too timid." As expected, Lin Nan obviously noticed that his body trembled slightly, and then took Lin Nan's hand away, and said in a rough voice: "See me." Lin Nan was completely sure that she was a woman, so he asked in a low voice, "What crime did the girl commit?"

When the woman saw that she was trapped, her expression was panicked, but Lin Nan said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”

The woman looked at Lin Nan's eyes, and suddenly felt that this person was very credible, and the panic in her heart was reduced a lot, and she said lightly: "I am here to atone for my brother." ”

"Guilty?" Lin Nan asked, only then did he remember that there is indeed such a law in this dynasty, if the son of a family commits a crime and escapes, the other son of the family must come to dǐng for the crime, and if there is no more male in the family, he will arrest his father to dǐng, Lin Nan was thinking, only to hear the woman say quietly: "My father is sick and unbearable to be imprisoned, so he dares to follow Mulan and do such things." ”

"Hey......" Lin Nan sighed and asked, "What crime did your brother commit?" "Kill people." When she had finished, she turned and nestled in the horn again.

Killing people tastes life, debts and money, this is the truth of the ages, but the prisoner runs away to arrest his family, but this trick is too poisonous, but it is very useful, some prisoners have broken the law, and they are afraid that their families will not run away in the end, so the criminal law of the dynasty still has his superiority.

Don't talk about Lin Nan, just say that this ten miles shop is within the jurisdiction of Zhongmu County, just sat in the court to judge Lin Nan is the county order Wu Baojiu, the Great Sui is the first dynasty in Chinese history to implement the imperial examination system, but this Wu Baojiu does not know a few big characters, only by spending 10,000 taels of silver to buy the post of Zhongmu County Order, although Wu Baojiu does not know a few big characters, but there are a lot of eyes, he just did not force Lin Nan to kneel is to leave a way back for himself, although he himself does not ◎ dǐng ◎ diǎn ◎ small ◎ said, .◎.o☆ s_ ( ); I believe that Lin Nan is the king of Wu, but he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest about this head-killing event.

Since Lin Nan was escorted away, he sent someone to Jiankang, it was Gao Dehong who received the person here, after listening to the appearance described by the visitor, Gao Dehong was taken aback, and hurriedly took five hundred light horses to rush to Zhongmu, the two places are not far apart, and Gao Dehong has arrived at the yamen without a time of incense, and the yacha hurriedly reported into the back hall, Wu Baojiu heard him report to 10,000, his face suddenly sank, and his heart couldn't help jumping suddenly.

"Where is King Wu?" Gao Dehong didn't wait for him to report, and led the troops straight into the back hall, Wu Baojiu saw him pressing the sword in his hand, so he could only stubbornly say with an official look: "Xiaguan Zhongmu County ordered Wu ......" Before he finished speaking, he was dragged by Gao Dehong by the collar and lifted up, "I don't care who you are, hurry up and tell my Highness that your Highness is there, otherwise I will cut off your head!"

"In ...... In the ...... In the county jail. Wu Baojiu was so frightened that he couldn't even say a complete sentence, Gao Dehong threw him aside, pulled the yacha and said, "Take me to the county jail." "Yes...... "The yacha came to the prison with Gao Dehong.

Lin Nan was already impatient waiting in prison, seeing that no one came, he only felt empty in his heart, plus his clothes were all wet, and the cold in the prison only made him miserable, and scolded the county order thousands of times.

Gao Dehong went straight to Lin Nan's cell under the leadership of the cell leader, and heard footsteps coming from a distance, Lin Nan was busy lying on the fence and looking, only to see a military general with a long sword in his hand and heavy armor walking over quickly, not who Gao Dehong was.

"Dehong!" finally saw his own person, and the excited Lin Nan almost burst into tears.

Gao Dehong heard Lin Nan shouting, hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Lin Nan looking like a wolf, he was taken aback at first, and then he fell to the ground with a plop and cried bitterly: "Don't be late, let Your Highness suffer!"

"You're not too late, I didn't suffer. Lin Nan was only happy at this time, but the old man and the yacha next to him were stupid, and a few of them participated in the arrest of Lin Nan, and they were even more frightened, for fear that Lin Nan would arrest them and cut them down.

"Why don't you open the cell door quickly!" Gao Dehong shouted at the cell leader, and then he came back to his senses, hurriedly took the key from the shelf next to him, and opened the lock with a scare.

"Your Highness, these are not the business of villains. The cell boss was afraid that Lin Nanqian would be angry with him, so he hurriedly bowed down and begged for mercy.

At this time, Lin Nan returned to the majesty of the prince, kicked him and said, "Forget it, I won't do anything to you." "Thank you to the prince, thank you to the prince, the prince is so gracious, the villain is unforgettable. The cell boss kowtowed again and again to thank him, but the three prisoners behind him were taken aback, and they couldn't believe that the down-and-out boy in front of him was actually a prince, and then the woman hiding in the horn suddenly ran over, threw herself in front of Lin Nan and knelt down, grabbed his leg and cried: "The prince wants to be the master of the people's daughter." ”

Listening to her mournful cry, Lin Nan's heart softened, so he comforted her: "Forget it, it's not easy for this king to get acquainted with the three of you in prison, so let's go out with the prince." When the other two heard this, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, thank you." But the woman was not satisfied, shook her head and cried: "My brother is wronged, and I hope that the prince can open a grace and seek revenge for the people's daughter." Gao Dehong looked at the strange person next to him, and he didn't know what this people's girl was doing.

But Lin Nan understood more and more, helped her up and asked, "You said that your brother was wronged?" "Yes, please also ask the prince to ......" The woman was about to kneel down again after speaking, Lin Nan hurriedly grabbed her and said: "You go to the court with me, if this dog official really wrongs your brother, I will definitely deal with it strictly!" In fact, Lin Nan's revenge for this woman was not only out of righteous indignation, but also because he was wronged, and he just wanted to use this excuse to cut off Wu Baojiu's head.

Gao Dehong led the men and horses of the forward battalion and the government messengers in front, Lin Nan and the woman in the back, and all the people walked out of the prison door, at this time Wu Baojiu no longer had any illusions, and put his official hat under the tucked and waited for Lin Nan to come out to punish the crime. As soon as this group of people came out, Lin Nan saw Wu Baojiu at first sight, so he stepped forward and snorted: "Lord Wu, what are you doing, the villain can't afford it." Wu Baojiu broke out in a cold sweat, his body was almost on the ground, and he said tremblingly: "The villain has eyes and no beads, and commits such a great rebellious crime. Please also ask Your Highness to be gracious and spare the life of the official. ”

"We'll talk about that later. Lin Nan glanced around, touched the beaten face, only felt that it was hot and still painful, and immediately full of anger, and shouted at Wu Baojiu: "Go and call me all the officials of your yamen." Not one less!"

"Yes, yes......" Wu Baojiu gave a look back, and two yacha knew how to hurry up and call, and in a moment, the forty-nine yacha in Zhongmu County were all gathered, and Wu Baojiu and the master knelt in front of them and did not dare to make a sound. There was only one person in the crowd who was covered in cold sweat and trembling all over, needless to say that it was the one who slapped Lin Nan. Lin Nan saw him at a glance and instructed his soldiers: "Drag that person out for me." Without waiting for the soldier to make a move, the yacha had already fallen on his back, Gao Dehong stepped forward and pulled him up to take a look, only to see that his face was blue and his pupils were dilated.

"Your Highness, he has been frightened to death. ”

Lin Nan still didn't understand his hatred, and asked Wu Baojiu: "What is his name, where does his family live!" Wu Baojiu hurriedly replied: "This person's name is Jiang Tian, and his family lives at the mouth of Liuquan Lane." Lin Nan knew what Liuquan Alley was about, so he casually grabbed a yacha and asked, "Do you know this place?" The yacha hurriedly diǎn head, Lin Nan turned back to Gao Dehong and said: "You are watching here, I took fifty brothers from the forward battalion to raid his house." ”

"Yes!" Gao Dehong knew that Lin Nan was a person who would take revenge, not to mention a small errand, so he didn't take it to heart.

Lin Nan led the men and horses to the mouth of Liuquan Alley under the leadership of the Yacha, and saw a middle-aged woman with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks walking around under an extremely thick willow tree, as if waiting for someone to come back.

"The yard next to the big willow tree is Jiang Tian's house, and the woman at the door is his daughter-in-law. After hearing what the yacha said, Lin Nanchong shouted to the side, "Give me the knife!" A soldier pulled out the ring knife and handed it to Lin Nan. "You guard the door, and if anyone comes out for a while, they will all be killed!" he said, and then he turned the blade of the knife horizontally, only to feel a flash of cold light, and the person had rushed out.

The middle-aged woman at the door was waiting for her husband's return, but Lin Nan suddenly appeared in front of her, and before she could shout, Lin Nan's knife had been slashed, and the blood was splashed all over Lin Nan's body, and his face was also mixed with a piece of blood. Seeing that the woman's head had fallen to the ground, and her body had fallen halfway down, such a bloody scene made the yacha look terrified, but the people of the forward battalion did not react, they were all people who had crawled out of the human heads and dead bodies, and they had long been numb to these.

Lin Nan drew his knife and rushed into the courtyard, and then he heard a terrible scream, including the old man and the prime of life, everyone's screams were different, but they all sounded so terrifying.

None of them came out, and Lin Nan stepped out of the threshold with a knife, "Your Highness, don't burn the house." The soldiers of the two forward battalions asked.

"Burn!" Lin Nan handed the knife back to the soldier and wiped the sticky blood on his face.

The raging fire was burning into the sky, and the scorched furniture made a chaotic sound of "crackling", and all the hatred went with the fire, so people should remember one diǎn: don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do, Lin Nan didn't bother to look any further, turned around and walked over with the people and horses.

Lin Nan took revenge, and the cluster of evil fire in his heart finally came out, but it was a pity that Jiang Tian was scared to death, and he was somewhat unhappy.

After leaving the alley, he first went to take a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went to see Qin Yi, at this time Qin Yi had woken up, but his body was still very weak, but his life was fine, he had already learned from the people that it was Lin Nan who saved him, and he had a deep sense of gratitude in his heart, which was exactly what Lin Nan needed.

"Brother Qin is better?" Lin Nan greeted him with a smile as soon as he entered the room, Qin Yi saw that his benefactor had arrived, and he hurriedly got out of bed to thank him, Lin Nan hurriedly supported him and said, "Brother Qin is not cured, there is no need to be like this." Qin Yi was willing to listen, and thanked him before saying: "Your Highness's life-saving grace, Yi Shen Ming Wu, if you have to be sent in the future, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Lin Nan laughed, helped him to the edge of the bed and sat down, and then asked, "Why did Brother Qin fall to this point." Qin Yi sighed after hearing this and said: "Yi originally came from Luzhou to find a friend, but the friend moved elsewhere, ran away, and when he wanted to return to his hometown, he lost his entanglement, and fell here for a few days, barely relying on alms to survive, I didn't think that there was a cold rain on the road yesterday, and I was sick, I thought that my life would be Jiuquan, but I was saved by His Royal Highness, great kindness, not a thank you." As he spoke, he fell down again.

Lin Nan pulled him up and said with a smile: "Life is not as expected, nine times out of ten, Brother Qin will not die in a big disaster, and there will be blessings in the future." Qin Yi sighed and said: "The old mother's wife is now at home, and when she sees that Yi does not return, she must be flustered, and Yi is really unfilial." Lin Nan knew that Qin Yi was a filial son when he read the history books, and when he saw it today, he admired him even more, so he patted him and said: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will immediately send someone to Luzhou with the book to inform Lingtang, brother can be relieved to recuperate here, and it is not too late to return to his hometown to visit his mother when he is healthy." ”

Qin Yi was moved by the five-body cast. Pulling Lin Nan to tears, he said: "Your Highness is so benevolent and righteous, Yi Wan's death will not be rewarded." Lin Nan saw that he was always polite, and he thought of the woman in his heart, so he comforted him and said: "Brother Qin is at ease and recuperates, and there are still some mundane things in Guang, so I won't accompany him here." Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please." Lin Nan diǎn diǎn head, got up and instructed his subordinates: "Take care of Qin Ye well, don't be lazy." The men agreed. Lin Nan smiled again and then walked out of the house.

Wu Baojiu and the women were a little anxious, Gao Dehong knew Lin Nan's temper, and sat in the hall and drank tea casually. It was not until more than two hours later that Lin Nan walked in from outside the yamen, at this time he had changed into a white embroidered robe, his feet were on the clouds, and his head was tied with a scarf, looking elegant and graceful, he saw it from a distance, and he was slightly surprised.

"Wait. When Lin Nan came closer, he didn't talk to Wu Baojiu, but only looked at the woman.

"The folk girl didn't dare. "The woman is quiet and graceful.

"Well, you will tell us all about the case, and this king will make the decision for you. After Lin Nan finished speaking, he walked to the lobby, although he came and went to several planes, and now he is the king of Wu, but it is really the first time to sit in the court to try the case, and he has already seen those routines on TV, so he is not surprised to see the prison card on the case, and it is not surprising that he is shocked and other things.

In fact, according to Sui law, although Lin Nan is a prince, Wu Baojiu has not yet determined that he is guilty, he should still be the hall, Lin Nan can only observe, but Lin Nan understands these rules, and sits down with a big grin, he is the king of Wu, Wu Baojiu dares to say anything, so he can only stand aside and listen to him ask about the case.

The woman saw that Lin Nan was the master for him, and she didn't look at Wu Baojiu, so she walked up to the hall and knelt on the ground, and said eloquently: "The people's father opened a teahouse on East Street, because it is located on the main street, the business is still prosperous, there is an evil here, called Pan Sheng, because he saw that my father's teahouse was prosperous, and he wanted to pay for it, but my father did not obey, and he **** Sending people to make trouble, my brother can't see it, and the person who came to do it, somehow beat a person to death, in desperation, my brother can only flee to the border, then Pan Sheng made the black money and this dog official, the two should be together, concluded that my brother killed someone, and wanted to take my father to atonement, that day the girl was embroidering upstairs, and heard that someone was sent to arrest my father, so he went to get my brother's clothes and mixed them into men's clothes, and went to prison. ”

After listening to the woman's words, Lin Nan also understood the general situation, snorted and asked Wu Baojiu: "Is what he said true?" Wu Baojiu hurriedly knelt down and said: "This woman is talking nonsense to excuse her brother, Your Highness must not be gullible." The woman was indignant, pointed at him and scolded: "Dog officer, you still want to deny!" Bao Jiu still wanted to speak, but when he heard the sound of "Bang!", Lin Nan knocked on the shocked wood and said: "Okay, go and bring me Pan Sheng and the few people who made trouble that day, plus the owner of the teahouse, I want to ask." Dehong agreed, and he didn't need a servant, so he brought his own people to carry it.

After a stretch of incense, Gao Dehong took a group of people to the lobby, Lin Nan glanced at it, and asked, "Who is Pan Sheng?" A man who looked like a showman, carrying a folding fan, stepped forward and said, "Xiaosheng is." Lin Nan looked at his appearance and said secretly: "It's also a handsome little white face." Pan Sheng saw Lin Nan staring at him, not knowing what was going on, and he became nervous.

Lin Nan thought for a while, and suddenly glanced at Wu Baojiu and said: "Lord Wu, you just said that Pan Sheng made money to you and told you not to sentence people's lives, is it true?" Wu Baojiu was startled, and just wanted to speak, but saw Lin Nan's eyes glaring, and he hurriedly withdrew his mouth, not daring to say more, Pan Sheng saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that he had recruited everything, and suddenly said urgently: "Lord Wu, you hurt me!" Wu Baojiu only knew at this time that he had fallen for Lin Nan, and he didn't care about whether the prince was the prince or not, and said loudly: "You don't want to fall for him, I didn't say anything." ”

"Bold!" Lin Nan was furious, and the soldiers next to him immediately stopped Wu Baojiu, and Lin Nan patted some of the cases and said: "It's written in black and white, you still want to deny it!" In fact, those are just the cases left by someone to report the case last time, and Wu Baojiu has not yet come to clean up, but Pan Sheng saw it clearly, and thought that Wu Baojiu had indeed confessed, and he couldn't take care of that much, so he shouted at Lin Nan: " Lord, these are all instructed by Wu Baojiu, and the teahouse is also under his order, but it is just the name of the villain, this qiē is all instructed by him to the villain, and the name of Wu Baojiu is also written on the deed of the teahouse. ”

"Where is the deed?" Lin Nan saw that the case was almost finished, and hurriedly stood up.

"Here you see. Pan Sheng took out a contract from his cuff and presented it to Gao Dehong, Gao Dehong handed it to Lin Nan, Lin Nan glanced at it, and saw that Wu Baojiu's name was indeed written on it.

"Dog official, it turned out to be you!" the father and daughter grabbed Wu Baojiu and gritted their teeth with hatred.

"Wu Baojiu, what else do you have to say. Lin Nan slapped the table and smiled proudly.

Wu Baojiu knew that it was useless to quibble, so his tone hardened, and he snorted: "Xiaguan is planted in your hands today, what else is there to say." ”

"Be bold, dare to speak disrespectfully to the prince!" The soldiers on both sides pulled out their swords, but Wu Baojiu was not afraid at all, twisted his neck and said: "This qiē is made by this official, and it is all up to the prince!"

"You!" Lin Nan saw that he was angry, and said, "Come on, pull him out for me and execute him!"

"Your Highness. Gao Dehong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "According to Sui law, this person will not die for his crimes." ”

After listening to this, Lin Nan looked at Wu Baojiu again, and saw his disdainful look in his eyes, as if he was demonstrating to him. Suddenly angry, and he didn't care about Sui Lu, so he turned around and walked down the hall and shouted at a soldier next to him, "Give me the knife." ”

"Your Highness. Gao Dehong still wanted to stop him, but Lin Nan was willing to listen, and without waiting for the soldier to make a move, he pulled out his saber.

"You can't kill me, I'm an official of the court. Wu Baojiu was only afraid at this time, and retreated two steps back.

"Ah!" Lin Nan stepped forward and slashed down, Wu Baojiu started from the center of his eyebrows, and a blood mark fell horizontally, and the person had already died.

"Your Highness spares your life!" Pan Sheng and a few troublemakers pounced, and they all fell to their knees.

Nan handed the knife back to the soldier and said to Gao Dehong: "These people can do whatever they want." ”

Gao Dehong sighed, and could only arch his hand: "Yes." ”

"Lord Tian, the two people don't know how to thank them. The father and daughter fell to their knees, Lin Nan was unhappy, so he sighed and said to the woman: "Okay, you can go home, and leave a letter to tell your brother to come back." ”

The son bowed to the ground and bowed down in gratitude.

"Dehong, you deal with these things here, I'll take a few people back to Jiankang first. Lin Nan commanded and walked out of the yatang.

Dehong Gong sent Lin Nan away, and snorted at the mother and daughter: "You know how much Lou Zi you have provoked for the prince." ”

"This ......" The father and daughter glanced at each other, in their eyes, this Wu Baojiu should have died, and it was not surprising that the prince killed an eight junior officials.

Gao Dehong knew what they thought, sighed and said: "Although this dog official is confused, he is not guilty of death, he is also a court official, although His Royal Highness is a prince, but the court official cannot be killed in vain, if someone plays the impeachment of His Royal Highness, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to protect it." ”

Only then did the two of them understand, and when they glanced at each other, they both looked embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do.

Gao Dehong knew that it was not the fault of the two of them, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you guys go back." While thanking them for their kindness, the two of them took a few guys from the teahouse out of the yamen. (To be continued.) )
