The people present almost couldn't believe their eyes, this Tang Xia clan was so rampant, not only dominating other people's real estate and not paying it back, but also daring to look at everything in the public court. Seeing that Tang Xia and her son were leaving, two officials immediately stepped forward to stop them, but she pushed them away.

The mother is unusually tough, and there is no ambiguity when she is a son, Tang Lei crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed to the rest of the officials who came forward temptingly: "Whoever dares to step forward, be careful that Uncle Ben cleans him up." ”

"Stop them, stop them." Seeing that the mother and son of the Tang family were trying to forcibly leave the court, Yu Qianling hurriedly stood up from his seat, pointed at the two and shouted to the officials: "Take down the two quickly!" However, what he saw was that several officials who stepped forward to stop them from leaving were knocked to the ground by Tang Lei with a punch, and the rest did not dare to step forward again, but just surrounded them with water and fire sticks.

Seeing that the officials didn't dare to step forward, Tang Lei snorted coldly, pointed his finger at Yu Qianling and said, "Dog officer, let your people get out of the way, otherwise Uncle Ben will be polite." ”

Yu Qianling was in front of his own people, how could he be willing to give up, he could only roar angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take down this lawless maniac." ”

The officials were afraid of Tang Lei, so they didn't dare to step forward, but they just stood in place and bluffed and shouted with water and fire sticks in their hands, but no one stepped forward. Seeing this, Tai Shici, who was in the crowd, snorted coldly, then stretched out his hand to push away the people who were blocking in front of him, and strode forward.

He came to a place two or three steps away from Tang Lei and stopped, pointed at him with his hand, and said, "Bold and fanatical, you actually dare to make trouble in the court, and you don't hurry up and be arrested." ”

Tang Lei relied on his strength, and swung his fist at Tai Shici, who suddenly appeared. Tai Shi Ci didn't dodge or dodge in the face of the punch, and only when he was almost in front of him did he raise his hand and grab the opponent's fist. Tang Lei didn't expect that the punch he made with all his might was actually caught by the other party, he tried to withdraw his fist, but found that it seemed to be caught by iron tongs, and he couldn't break free.

Tang Xia saw that his son was stopped by Tai Shi Ci, so he pounced like crazy, scratching and scratching Tai Shi Ci's body. Tai Shici let go of Tang Lei's fist and threw a punch lightly, this punch seemed to be plain and unremarkable, without the slightest fancy, but it hit Tang Lei's face cleanly. After a muffled sound, Tang Lei covered his face, fell to the ground and screamed, rolling back and forth on the ground.

Tai Shici's punch stunned everyone. Anyone who knows Tang Lei knows that this person is Yu Qianyiba, who knows a little bit of martial arts, and ordinary five or six people can't get close to him, who knows that he was knocked to the ground by this military master's punch, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Seeing Tang Lei being knocked to the ground, the officials who were still bluffing immediately dispersed and held down Tang Lei, who was rolling on the ground. As for Tang Xia's clan, when the two sticks were knocked down, he could only obediently kneel on the ground, waiting for further falls. When the onlookers saw this dramatic scene, they couldn't help but cheer for Tai Shici.

After Yu Qianling asked the officials to escort Tang's mother and son away, he got up and came to Tai Shici and bowed to him: "It's Yu Qianling, I don't know what your Excellency says?" ”

"In Xia Tai Shi Ci, the word is meaningful." Because he didn't know what kind of attitude Yu Qianling had towards his conscription, Tai Shici did not immediately express his intentions, but only said vaguely: "In the past, I used to be Liu Tingshi's staff. ”

Yu Qianxian is still in Liu Xuan's sphere of influence, and when Yu Qianling heard that the person who came was actually Liu Xuan's staff, his attitude became more and more humble. After he asked the officials to send the people who were hearing, he said to Tai Shici: "Brother Ziyi, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the back hall to talk." ”

In this way, Tai Shici followed Yu Qianling to the back hall. After the two sides sat down, Yu Qianling then asked: "Brother Ziyi, I don't know what you have to teach Yu Qian?" ”

Seeing that there were only himself and Yu Qianling here, Tai Shici said straight to the point: "I am going to recruit new soldiers here, I don't know if the envoy will allow it?" ”

"Is it to deal with Yuan Shu?" Yu Qianling hated Yuan Shu deeply, and when he heard that Tai Shici was here to recruit new soldiers, the first thing that came to mind was to deal with Yuan Shu.

"If you can recruit new soldiers from this county," Tai Shici said cautiously, "sooner or later, it will be used to deal with Yuan Shu." ”

Yu Qianling heard that Tai Shi Ci seemed to have something to say, so he frowned and asked, "In this way, Brother Ziyi went to this county to recruit new soldiers, not to deal with Yuan Shu?" ”

Tai Shi Ci saw that Yu Qianling had doubts about himself, and was worried that if he continued to conceal it, he was afraid that the recruitment of recruits in the future would be blocked, so he decided to tell him the truth: "Don't hide it from you, a certain is now serving under the command of Jizhou Mu, and this time I came to Qianxian County to recruit new soldiers!" ”

"What, you are under the command of Jizhou Mu?" Yu Qianling's face showed a surprised expression: "It stands to reason that if you want to recruit new soldiers, you can recruit soldiers locally in Jizhou, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers?" ”

From the tone of Yu Qianling's speech, Tai Shi Ci heard that the other party was not disgusted with Han Zhan, so he said with a smile: "My lord said that the Danyang soldiers are the heroes of the world, so he ordered a certain person to come all the way here to recruit troops. After Jizhou Mu unified the four northern states, he would send troops to Yangzhou sooner or later, and then he could use the troops here to deal with Yuan Shu. ”

Who knew that after he finished speaking, Yu Qianling remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting. Seeing this, Tai Shici did not persuade again, but took the initiative to divert the topic: "Envoy, I don't know how you plan to judge the case just now?" ”

Yu Qianling's face showed a surprised expression: "Didn't the official already announce that he ordered the Tang family's mother and son to return the property to the Lin family?" Brother Ziyi was in the crowd just now, so he should have heard it clearly. ”

"The sentence is too light." Tai Shici shook his head and said: "The Lin family is kind to the Tang family's mother and son, if it weren't for the Lin family's master who helped back then, the Tang family's mother and son would have starved to death on the streets." But now, they are ungrateful, and when they saw the Lin family in trouble, not only did they not help, but they fell into the ground, and for this kind of person who is inferior to beasts, the punishment of the king is too light. ”

Tai Shici's words aroused Yu Qianling's great interest, and he asked curiously: "Then according to Brother Ziyi's opinion, how should this official be punished?" ”

"In addition to returning the property they occupied the Lin family, they will also confiscate all their family property, except for a part of the compensation to the Lin family, and the rest will be returned to the government." Tai Shi Ci said righteously: "This can also be regarded as a warning to those who are ungrateful. ”

"Then what should the Tang family's mother and son do?" Yu Qianling then asked.

"Leaving the mother and son of the Tang family is bound to continue to cause trouble in the township. Please think back to the situation in the lobby, they don't take the government seriously at all, if the envoy lets them go back, they will definitely continue to go to the Lin family to make trouble, and even have a grudge against the envoy, and maybe they will secretly poison you. Tai Shi Ci turned his fist into a palm and slashed down hard: "It's better to take this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, maybe the people in the county will be grateful to the envoy." ”

"It makes sense, Brother Ziyi is reasonable." Regarding Tai Shici's proposal, Yu Qianling agreed, and he nodded vigorously and said, "This official will judge this case according to what Brother Ziyi said. In addition to allowing the Lin family to recover their ancestral property, the confiscated Tang family's property was divided into a set to the Lin family as compensation. As for the mother and son of the Tang family, they were locked in prison and left to fend for themselves. ”

After Yu Qianling finished speaking, he got up and walked to the door, and said to the officials outside: "Quickly call the master book here." ”

The main bookkeeper was still in the lobby, and when he heard the official say that the county order wanted to see him, he immediately rushed over, stood outside the door and asked respectfully, "I don't know what the envoy commands?" ”

After Yu Qianling repeated the decision he had just made to the master book, he said to him: "Master book, immediately draft the list and post the verdict of the real estate dispute case between the Lin and Tang families for the people of the whole city to know." ”

After the chief bookkeeper was ordered to leave, Yu Qianling returned to the house and sat down, looked at Tai Shici and asked, "Brother Ziyi, I don't know where you went to recruit recruits when you went to Yangzhou this time?" ”

"Replying to the envoy's words," Tai Shi Ci saw that Yu Qianling did not have a clear attitude against his recruitment of new soldiers here, so his favor towards him skyrocketed, and after hearing this question, he immediately replied: "After coming to Yangzhou, I have only been to Danyang and Liyang counties. Danyang Ling was an old acquaintance of X, and let X recruit there for three days; However, Liyang County did not even let a certain soldier and horse enter the city gate. ”

Yu Qianling picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and after taking a sip of tea, he didn't put the bowl down, but asked casually: "I don't know how many recruits Brother Ziyi has recruited in Danyang County?" "According to his idea, it is already very good to be able to recruit five or six hundred people.

"There are more than 4,000 people." Tai Shici replied: "If it weren't for the fear of recruiting too many young people and affecting the farming of Danyang County in the coming year, maybe we would have to recruit more people." ”

Hearing the number of recruits that Tai Shici said, Yu Qianling's hand couldn't help but tremble, and turned the tea in the tea bowl upside down. He looked at Tai Shi Ci and asked in surprise, "How much?" More than 4,000 people? ”

"That's right." Tai Shici didn't wait for the hidden order to ask again, so he took the initiative to say: "Considering that there are many inconveniences for these four thousand recruits to go around, he left all of them in Danyang County, and left another one of them to train them there. When we've recruited new recruits elsewhere, we'll take them with us on our return. ”

Yu Qianling put the tea bowl on a few cases, and asked nervously: "I don't know how many recruits Brother Ziyi plans to recruit in this official's Yuqian County?" ”

"One or two hundred is not too little, one or two thousand is not too much!" Tai Shi Ci arched his hand towards Yu Qianling and said, "I hope that when the time comes, you will be able to help a certain arm." ”

"It's easy to say," Yu Qianling said with a dry smile: "If there are too many young and strong recruits, will it affect the spring plowing of this county in the coming year?" ”

"Envoy, there is a certain sentence, I don't know whether to ask or not."

Yu Qian ordered Chao Tai Shi Ci to make a gesture of invitation: "Brother Ziyi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Judging from the current situation in Yangzhou, Liu Tingshi can't stop Yuan Shu, and sooner or later this will become Yuan Shu's territory." Since Tai Shici entered Yangzhou, he found that because Liu Miao and Yuan Shu were fighting for territory, officials everywhere were panicked, so he planned to make good use of this opportunity and dig up some talents to go to Jizhou. Last night, I heard the innkeeper say that Yu Qianling was a clean official, and when I saw him trying the case today, it was also very organized, so I planned to persuade him to go to Jizhou, so I asked: "I don't know if the envoy plans to submit to Yuan Shu, or abandon the official and go?" ”

When Yu Qianling heard Tai Shici say this, he didn't reply immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Ziyi, if you were in the position of this official, what would you do?" ”

"Naturally, I went to Jizhou." Tai Shici replied without hesitation: "Now that the holy driver is the capital of Yecheng, and he is an official in Jizhou, he must always be better than here in Yangzhou." Besides, he used to be a staff member of Liu Tingshi, but now he is also subordinate to Jizhou. ”

Tai Shici's words made Yu Qianling's heart flutter a little, and he asked tentatively: "Brother Ziyi, if this official goes to Jizhou with you, I wonder if Jizhou Mu is willing to take him in?" ”

"If the envoy is willing to go to Jizhou, my lord will definitely accept you." Tai Shi Ci said thoughtfully: "But it may not be easy to be an official in Jizhou. ”

Yu Qianling was happy for less than a moment, and when he heard the words that he couldn't be an official in Jizhou, his face suddenly sank, and he thought to himself, no matter whether I continue to be loyal to Liu Xuan in the future, or submit to Yuan Shu, at least it is no problem to be an official in Yangzhou. But now you actually told me that you can't be an official in Jizhou, so what's the point of me going to Jizhou.

Tai Shi Ci saw that Yu Qianling's face was cloudy, and knew that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, so he hurriedly explained: "Yu Qianling misunderstood, it is not that you went to Jizhou and can no longer be an official, but that you may not be an official in Jizhou." ”

Yu Qianling asked puzzledly: "If you are not an official in Jizhou, where else can you go to be an official?" ”

"I don't know that my lord has sent troops to Qingzhou, and half of Qingzhou is currently under the control of our army." Tai Shi Ci said to Yu Qianling: "Once Qingzhou is pacified, a large number of officials will definitely be needed, if the envoy is willing to go to Jizhou with a certain person, he will be able to serve in Qingzhou in the future, not to mention a small county order, even if it is too guarded, it is not impossible." ”

Tai Shi Ci's words completely moved Yu Qianling, he thought to himself: He is just a small county magistrate here, and how long he can be an unknown person, if it is really as Tai Shi Ci said, Jizhou Mu arranged for himself to be an official in Qingzhou, if he is lucky, he may really be able to become a Taishou. Thinking of this, he nodded vigorously and said to Tai Shici: "Brother Ziyi, the future of this official is up to you." ”

Seeing that Yu Qianling was moved by his own words, Tai Shi Ci laughed, and then said: "The king is too polite, you and I will be ministers in the same palace in the future, and we still need to take care of each other." ”
